ONE MILLION NEGROES TO VOTE TOGETHER SAYS POWERFUL NEGRO ORGANIZATION
FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting:
The time is approaching in domestic politics when every man and woman who professes the faith of the Universal Negro Improvement Association—freedom, liberty, justice—must stand together as one man for what is equitable and just. Except in State and city elections we have never, to any organized extent, taken sides for the common good. Because of our quietude in this direction some people, and especially a few uninformed persons, thought we were ignorant of the force and power of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in politics.
Each Negro Working in His Community
The time has come when every member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, from Maine to California, must be an active worker in his or her community for the side that we shall nationally espouse for right and justice to Negroes. We shall, for the first time in the history of America, prove that one million Negroes can vote and stand together for a cause and on a principle.
Registering as a Voter Everywhere
officer, member and supporter is now asked to make preparation for registering as a voter for 1923-1924. service and duty we can render and perform versal Negro Improvement Association is to vote during the forthcoming political campaign. division, chapter and branch of our great association shall work in unison with the Parent Body to put over the program that will be outlined for the good of the race.
We Shall All Pull Together
Negroes, we shall all pull together, and in the effort we shall make sure that the old distractors and camoufleurs be not allowed to blow off their annual and periodic camouflage and deception. Our campaign literature shall be scattered from State to State, city to city, town to town, district to district, hamlet to hamlet, home to home and door to door. This will be a period of work and sacrifice for each and every member, and we ask that you prepare yourselves for the work of love and duty.
Action at Local Conventions
At your local conventions this month you are requested to form your local political committees under the direction of your President and await instructions from the Parent Body. We have humored and smiled with our opponents, playing foolish and ignorant of our strength, but the hour has struck for the Universal Negro Improvement Association to stand together and be as one man. They have tried to misrepresent us and make out that we have no voting strength, the liars that they are. We have won many an election in New York, Cincinnati, Detroit, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, etc., by silently lending our help without any desire to take credit for anything done. They attributed our silence to ignorance, but even the fool has an awakening, and so we shall now stand together as never Negroes did before.
The Awakened Voice
The call of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is the awakened voice of every Negro. We are fighting for an ideal that must appeal to the manhood and womanhood of the race. We want justice, liberty and political and industrial equality. We demand the rights of

men. For this we have worked and are still working; therefore, we claim the sympathy, support and co-operation of one and all. Co-operation and determination must be our bulwarks of strength for the period ahead of us. We must remember that it is only by our own effort that we can put over our program and advance our cause.
Getting Together Politically
This appeal for us to get together politically is made because we have reached the danger period where unworthy and unscrupulous individuals have been making efforts to undermine and destroy us; people who, in truth, manifest nothing in common with the race, but who insult us at times, and especially after they have benefited by our help and service. When it suits them they call us ignorant illiterate and "benighted." Well, one million illiterate and "benighted" Negroes will now stand together and show to the world that they are capable of taking care of themselves politically and socially.
Have Become Interested in Politics
We have become interested in the politics of our respective communities, because it is that science of government that protects those human rights that are not protected by law. When justice fails you, there is but one reasonable and rational resort, and that is to the political readjustment of the community in which you live and a reorganization of the machinery that deprives the community of that justice. The medium for exercising your political opinion is the ballot box; hence, it becomes necessary for every Negro to make up his mind and do the right thing by himself during the approaching changes.
Imagine Every Negro Together
Let us imagine every Negro voting together on all public questions, and then you will have the program and attitude of the Universal Negro Improvement Association for 1923-1924. Start now and line up your section for the big job.
You Must Register Where You Are
Every Negro in the voting States must register at the proper time, and the best work that the members of our association can do just now is to go from house to house and prepare the people of their community for this civic duty. If there are any members of our association who are not naturalized, I advise that you take immediate steps to become so, that you may be better able to throw in your
strength with the great majority and carry the day for the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
Returning Thanks
I take this medium of returning thanks to the many preachers and Negro newspapers who have, for the sake of justice, joined in the protest against my imprisonment and detention without bail. I am glad that they realize it is not a question of Marcus Garvey, but it is a penalty reserved for every Negro who dares to step out and make an honest effort for real race uplift and independence. I may be first, but under the system the door is opened for thousands more. It is only a question of time when "these dear friends of the colored people" will get at us one by one, under the guise of pleasing the race, and destroy the buoyant hopes we have encouraged for race redemption and salvation. Negroes watch your steps, and beware of "Greeks bearing gifts." To imagine that some one can be more interested in the Negro than he is in himself is to suggest that the rats have taken up common residence with cats and there is to be a general holiday for the good of all. Oh, what hypocrisy! Yet for the sake of condemning Garvey we are told that it was done for the "good of the colored people." Surely, it is done for the good of the colored people to further close their eyes until the plan of race extermination is completed; until the plan of economic starvation is completely arranged; until the political strength of the race is destroyed; until the race has been weakened and scattered with divided interests; until the greater and more progressive races have properly adjusted themselves; until Africa has been completely made safe for the European; until England, France and Italy have succeeded in carrying out their design to "keep African white."
Imprisonment Can Help
If my imprisonment can help to open the eyes of the sleeping Negro world to the danger ahead of us, then I shall be satisfied. Do not flatter ourselves about our temporary success in politics, industry and society, for a day of reaction is approaching, and when it arrives there will be universal racial chaos. That is why we ask you not to pay much attention to the individual politician who gobbles up everything for himself in the search for office. He will go no further than his day. He serves himself in the name of the race, yet we are no better off for destiny and a permanent place in the affairs of men; hence, we ask that our present political effort be a united one with a common program and purpose.
Support Your Organization
Surely we shall rally together and stand together as never before. Give every help and encouragement to your association. Send in your support to the Parent Body and help the Committee of Management to put over the program for 1923-1924. With best wishes for your success, I have the honor to be Your obedient servant.
NEW YORK. August 1. 1923. P. S.—This day being our universal holiday, I take the opportunity of extending to one and all the season's best wishes. I trust that the first of August next year will find our work further advanced and the realization of our cause assured. I also hope that each member will make a renewed effort to help on the work of the organization.
Editor of The Pittsburgh American Ably Reviews Garveyism in America THE RANKS OF THE NEGRO PEOPLES OF THE WORLD ARE CLOSING CLOSER
IN A MASTERLY ANALYSIS OF U. N. I. A., WITH SUMS UP SITUATION CORRECTLY, POINTING OUT ONLY PIONEERS IMBUED WITH SPIRIT OF SACRIFICE COULD DO IT
THE CRUSADERS AGAINST GARVEYISM ARE TO BE FOUND AMONG THE CHRONIC CROAKERS, SELF-SEEKERS, SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC LEECHES, JEALOUS AND ENVIOUS LEADERS
Attorney General Daugherty of the United States' Department of Justice received an open, honest-to-goodness written confession of Negro impotence; Negro instinct of self-destruction; Negro poverty of leadership; Negro ignorance of liberty and its meaning; Negro conspiracy against freedom as a dominating impulse of the race; class hatred among Negroes; damnable jealousy and envy in the wild scramble American Negro "leaders" have been making for "the best place in the sun." This confession was signed by eight Negroes pleading for the utter destruction of a member of their own race, when the voice of neither one of the bunch nor the chorus would be heard if a similar plea was made to protect Negroes in America from exploitation by white adventurers' and fakers. In truth, these eight persons have "immortalized" themselves and will live forevermore in the hearts and minds of all Negroes appreciating the impulse and full meaning of their action.
The "immortal eight" failed utterly to disentangle their minds from their environment in their action to destroy and silence Marcus Garvey and another the institot of real freedom dominating the loyal U. N. I. A. members following the standard of Garveylam. American legal procedure has been founded in the interest of the white—not the darker races. American laws are written and interpreted for the dominance and better interests of the white races. The trend of American thought is always for the benefit of the descendants of the white pioneers who laid the cornerstone of the nation at Plymouth in Massachusetts. It is a fact that cannot be disregarded by thinking Negroes honestly and sincerely laboring for the higher development and complete freedom of the spirit, mind and body of the race.
The Voice of the Negro in America
The voice of the Negro has no weight in controversy with white people in America—none in religion, none in education, none in business, none in industry and none—absolutely none—in government. It would be unnatural and contrary to the facts, history and traditional aims of English Puritans, French Huguenots and the early pioneers of the white race who made America their harbor and re-confuge in seeking freedom from oppression and suppression. Negroes may advance to a certain point in this country, with the consent and encouragement of its dominant white government. Beyond that point they cannot and will never be permitted to go except by force—the violence which proves deadly carelessness in convention. White public opinion has set a limit on the progress of the race, defined by a dominant white majority, which will always insist upon the Negro in America being held strictly within the limitations set for him. And Negroes may raise their voice ever on high against this fact, but without weight in any matter except controversy between Negroes themselves.
The U. N. I. A. in Court
The United States Government were trying, Marcus Garvey, charged with using the United States mail to defraud. But the "Immortal Eight" and their fellow crusaders are looked upon as the people who consistently sought to create a public opinion which would make the trial of Marcus Garvey a test of the Negro Nation's movement. In spite of the Department of Justice having only Marcus Garvey and the other defendants before the court, the U. N. L. A. was there in the public mind. The association is the creation of the genius of Marcus Garvey. His personality and resourcefulness as an organizer and inspirer of life now life and power to the U. N. L. A. It was doubted—in the minds of the "Immortal Eight" and the other crusaders against Garveyism that a conviction of Marcus Garvey would mean a conviction of the U. N. L. A. They

doubly hoped and reasoned: that with Marcos Garvey securely locked behind the grim, dark walls of prison the U. N. L. A. would be destroyed, its members leaderless and scattered. If they crisped and such hopes the "immortal" and the other crusaders blundered.
**Garveyism a Religion of Believers**
Marcus Garvey knew in the beginning that liberty cannot be secured by written words alone, or by speeches and applause in meetings. He doubtless knew that it is not enough for people to be like-minded as individuals; they need the assurance of meeting face-to-face, and the warmth of a living spirit a religion to strengthen and enlighten any kind of unity. So Marcus Garvey from the beginning has made Nationalism a religion a passion with his followers. It thus has become their bond of unity, and with the body of Marcus Garvey imprisoned the spirit of the U. N. L. A. leader is free to roam the earth and worm the hearts of the great following his genius hasted with a nationalist passion which has become a religion, a bond of unity – with "One tried, one am, one destiny."
The Methods of Marcus Garvey
The C. N. L. A. founder succeeded in getting his career into the hearts of his people. He worked to establish centers of meeting, and provisions for regular meetings, and for all their necessary to secure effective results. He found local divisions, with local officers arranging the details in the light of their knowledge, environment and experience. Racial, social, self-respect, liberty and respect were the things to be taught. There was no organized body of Negroes in America doing or trying to do a similar work when the U. N. L. A. was created by Marcus Garvey. The people who rallied to his call were men and women unattached, neglected and more or less looked down upon by the members of every other organization for the development of the race. They needed a leader to arouse and quicken their shimmering emotions of yacal love and human liberty. Marcus Garvey came. They accepted and acknowledged his leadership.
The churches were not doing the work undertaken by Marvin Garvey, yet some teachers are among the crusaders. A full explanation of their attitude might be pretty hard to arrive at and harder to state without entering on contentious matter. It is enough to simply point out the obvious fact that Negro churches are divided, in some cases forbidden to work together with other movements, and they furnish no convenient and encouraging meeting-ground for united work. Only a movement that welcomes all people of all denominations and is officially attached to none while having its own assembly halls can spread its net wide enough to gather in all people desiring to identify themselves with it.
The U. N. L. A. movement calls for pioneers—people who will shrink from nothing to prove the intensity of their convictions. Its program suggests effort demanding sacrifice. Only pioneers imbued with the spirit of sacrifice and the "do or die" determination would be expected to make a success of it. Leaders or members who believe in crawling to freedom on hands and knees would mean nothing to such a movement. They would excite ridicule—not respect and admiration. Chronic croakers, scolders, crrites and "statez-

men" who never handled a matter of state, self-seekers, social and economic leeches, jealous and envious propagandists would never answer the call of the U. N. I. A. movement in an encouraging and helpful way. But they have constituted the crusaders against the Negro Nationalist Movement. They represent the main body of Marcus Garvey's persecutors.
Lying, Slander, Libel, Abuse and
Ridicule
The self-appointed dictators of the national and foreign policy of the Negro have no power, absolutely none, to bring anything to pass in America. They represent the spirit of obstruction and destruction with which the race has been afflicted for fifty-seven years. Lying, slander, libel, abuse and ridicule are the weapons always brought into use to accomplish their aims. When these fall of their purpose, jealous and envious Negro "leaders" begin to cry out for white people to hear. So they did in their crusade against Marcus Garvey.
First they tried to destroy the confidence of the Garveyites in their leader. They directed their efforts at creating an atmosphere of discouragement, gloom, depression and distrust. Their excuse was patriotism and anarchy for the welfare of the race in America. But even this high motive was no excuse for the campaign of lying, slander, libel and abuse directed at Marcus Garvey. Good motives are no excuse for libel and slander of any kind, much less slander and abuse which are almost criminal and repulsive in the intensity with which they are used to work the destruction of a human being. Directing all their poisoned arrows at Marcus Garvey, and at the same time ridiculing his followers as ignorant, fictional Negroes, the crusaders against the Nationalist movement plainly sought to mark the U. N. I. A. as a public enemy in America. In doing so, they were committing blasphemy against Truth, Justice, Liberty and Righteousness and treason against the entire Negro race.
The Well Meaning Critics of Garveyism
There were well meaning persons, including some of the strongest and ablest Negroes in America, who could not or would not see that the National movement of Marcus Garvey was in spirit, like all other movements of the kind. They denied it their moral encouragement and support because they honestly did not believe its accomplishment according to the program within the realms of possibility. They appeared to be invincibly ignorant of its real spirit. But Garveyism could never compromise with even these, and accomplish its objects. Every Negro who opposes a Nationalist movement practically confesses that he demies the rights of darker people to exist as nationalists. So the crusaders against Marcus Garvey and

Apart from a confederation of the African tribes or peoples of African origin, the possibility of which is an awful nightmare to the white man, he lives in fear and trembling that El Islam may become the religion of the Negro. And why should it not be "El Islam" would be a wonderful spiritual force in the life of the colored races, uniting us in a bond of common sympathy and interest. We could then add to our motto of one God, one aim, one destiny, the words one language, and that language would be Arabic. I could easily be made the universal language of Negroes and would remove the barriers which now face us in the intercommunication of the different tribes in Africa. Arabic is already spoken by millions of Negroes.
Most white missionaries jp order to keep up and encourage contributions to their foreign mission fund sometimes draw upon their imagination when they speak of the number of converts in Christianity, and would have us believe that the poor heathen is anxious to see more white men leading them to peace and happiness. The majority of the converts to Christianity in India and Africa are of the lower caste, people who have nothing to lose by changing their religious views and practices. But who expect in the new order of things to become the social equal of their superiors. They belong to that type which toodles to the white man and tamely submits to segregation and discrimination, believing that the white master is good, holy, just, and meek.
In spite, however, of the desperate efforts being made by the "other fellow" to convert the African to Christianity in order to make his enshrement and exploitation easier and more secure, the African is slowly but surely realising that under the Crescent he will be bet-
A Clear Conscience Is One's Strongest Weapon In Times of Trouble
A clear conscience is a strong weapon of defense in times of ruthless assault, which is liable to be made upon any individual or enterprise. Only those who have passed, through an emergency of this kind can fully appreciate this fact. Lincoln could never have lived with serenity through the poisonous and malicious attacks upon his character and his administration, except for the knowledge that he had not consciously trespassed upon the limits of moral principle. He knew that sooner or later his motives and his conduct would be fairly judged by an impartial people. Before he was cruelly and wickedly assassinated, he was almost universally acclaimed as "Honest Old Abe" and this made life worth living and gave him strength to carry a burden which otherwise would have been too heavy to bear.
Let us engrave our names as co-builders, upon the foundation blocks of intellectual and moral granite. Let us consider trustfully those who look darkly through glasses of their own construction, for we know they reflect simply the peculiarities of misinformed or misguided minds.
his Nationalist movement really admitted that Negroes should be satisfied as subordinates and submit to government by others and never aspire to govern themselves. Garveyism could never compromise with enemies of this kind and live.
Character of Garveyiam's Fight for Liberty
The Nationalist movement started by Marcus Garvey has been no fight for territory nor for trade anywhere. Thus far Garveyism has only been an intensive drive to arouse the consciousness in Negroes that they could be somebody, "mean something to somebody" and do something themselves to "remove the curtain of hell and hate and of oppression and of lack of opportunity" hiding hope, and liberty from the view of every Negro in America today and obscuring the vision of unborn generations of black people.
Garveyism is no bloody movement. It is a spiritual awakening of Negroes who no doubt would shrink from nothing to prove the intensity of their convictions about their liberties; if they once succeeded in holding a flag of a Negro nation. Marcus Garvey dressed his nationalist movement properly to secure

terable to reach the goal of his ambition than under the Cross. British administrators sometimes hardenently admit that the Mohammedan natives are far superior in intelligence, morals and fighting spirit to the Christian native. El Islam tolerates its followers to be manly, self-respecting, charitable and ambiguous, and, unlike his Christian brother, who waits for the good white man to restore him his rights, the follower of the prophet is always ready to draw his sword in defense of sacred right and honor.
Within recent years 53,000,000 natives have been converted to Mohammedanism in Africa. In Southern Nyasaland, where in 1000 you could not meet one native Mohammedan, there are mosques all over the country. In the region between Durbar and the Capo 1,000,000 natives were converted to Mohammed last year. Under Islam a Negro may aspire to and attain any position in mosque or state, and Islam knows nothing of segregation and discrimination.
Yes, El Islam is spreading fast, and spreading not only in Africa but also in these United States. Within three months over 100 converts have been made to the cause of Mohammedanism in America. The spreading of El Islam cannot help but benefit the U. N. I. A. for they are desperately engaged in preparing for That Day—that day that ww of the universal are also preparing for. Great Britain, France, Spain—in fact, all the white powers—fear Mohammedanism. None of them can afford to offend El Islam. With millions of Moslems in India, China, Arabia, Persia, Afghanistan, Turkey, Negroes would find valuable allies, who would bring pressure to bear upon the white world, concluding them that a peaceful solution to the race question would be best to all concerned.
results. His first object was to mobilise the masses—an essential to successful revolution or reform movements of any kind. His second object was to educate and emancipate the minds of Nagroes from the intellectual world enlarging them mentally. His third objective was to effect mass movement and momentum. And Marcus Garvey was on a fair road to success when his anamies, detractors, and persecutors began to harass and oppose his program.
The Negro His Own Meantest Enemy in America
The meanest enemy of the Negro in America is the Negro himself. A sum total of the injuries done individuals and the race generally will show the balance against the Negro. The Governor of an American commonwealth was right when on a public occasion and addressing an entirely Negro audience he said:
"Your people will not hold together. They do not seem inclined to do so. And you have another, grievous fault fraught with significance in regard to your future. There is not in all this world a race of people who will do more to destroy their own flesh and blood than you colored people will do. I don't mind saying here that during both my administrations no one of you has ever come to my office at the Capitol for any purpose without saying some word or sentence plainly intended to destroy my faith in the character and honor of some member of your race. I respected you less for these attempts, because they plainly were creatures of jealous hearts and envious minds bent upon the destruction rather than the salvation of a member of your race. And I think I express the sentiments of all intelligent white people when I say that this spirit of some of your people is a contemptible thing which degrades you in our sight and convinces us of your unworthiness of trust in many matters of honor concerning the higher welfare of human society."
"The Spirit of the Immortal Eight"
"Nothing attempted by the enemies of Garveyism was more startling than the spirit displayed by the "Immortal Eight America Negroes" who appealed to the Attorney General of the United States in their frenzied effort to destroy Marcus Garvey. Some of the signers of the historic document were no well-known that it became important and significant. The published letter started some who read it. Others received it with mild surprise. Many others looked upon it as a contemptible act which would forever stand out as one of perilly cowardice and eternal evidence of the truth that American Negroes had better look for their very worst enemies within the race rather than among the white people. Some of the signers of this letter to the Attorney General of the United States have become known for the aggressive manner in which they have always tried to convince the Negroes of this country that white people were the source of all the troubles and persecutions of Negroes.
In Unity There is Strength
"Now that the trial of Merrick Garvey and co-defendants is over, the world at large is asking, 'What about the U. N. L. A.'"
"It is felt that whatever runs of commission and omission by Mr. Garvey and his associates in managing the affairs of the Black Star Line and organizing the U. N. L. A., he launched a big movement with wonderful possibilities."
"Whether Mr. Garvey sources an appeal and an acquittal or goes to Leavenworth, Kan., the public is interested in the final outcome of the U. N. L. A. an organization with over eight hundred branches scattered over the world, some of them very strong, and with a quarter of a million members can wield great influence and effect good results, whether it mobilizes itself as a religious, fraternal, commercial or a political body."
Thus far the U. N. I. A has demonstrated that black folks can get together. That in itself is a distinct achievement. Then, too, the members have shown a readiness to make sacrifices and a courage under adversity that is truly remarkable. The organization stands as a monument to Marcus Garvey's genius for propaganda and organization. At the same time there are three modifications—modus operandi—which will help it considerably. In America our race group in attempting to do business on a large scale must have Caucasian friends whose business experience, wealth and influence are absolutely necessary. Without sacrificing its principles, the U. N. I. A should seek—Caucasian friendship. Then, again, it is not wisdom for the U. N. I. A, the N. A. A. C. P. the Equal Rights League, National Race Congress, Sons of Negro Freedom and the African Blood Brotherhood to continue their internal and external warfare, but should combine their forces and present a united front against, the caste prejudices of the nineteenth century. It is but natural that an organization like the U. N. I. A. should be optimistic and in its seal attempt the very impossible. It would be well, however, for it to distinguish the probable and the possible and the improbable and the impossible, and center its energies upon a practical program, easy of comprehension. Then full appreciation will be given it and its founder meritoriously rewarded.
However old the phrase may be. In unity there is strength. It still has virtue undiscovered.
counted the cost of keeping Africa white. Have they numbered the graves that must be dug, weighed the sacrifices that must be made and measured the blood that must be spilt to keep Africa white?
Keep Africa white! Even if white civilization is willing to pay this enormous price, Africa will not be kept white. For a period white interests may dominate, but the new Negro, having arisen under the thunderous appeal of Moccus Garvey, has resolved with a vengeance to keep Africa black. Keep it black—yes, black, from the "Mediterranean's silvery foam to Cape Colony's crystal waves."
It matters not what schemes, plums or methods are instituted, the millions of Negroes the world over have resolved to keep Africa black. White civilization may build in its pride and power around Africa, build as high as heaven itself, build as deep as hell, but God today is moving in the black man's favor and preparing for a time in the near future when a downtrodden people will blossom forth on the thorny stem of time to add beauty, grandeur and lustre to the human family.
stage of being stopped? Negroes have decided to leave Dixie. No law, no scheme, no plan nor any amount of persuasions or promises will keep him there. The Negro is tired, tired of conditions in that damnable place called Georgia. He has made up his mind to go somewhere; North, if possible—heaven, if he can, or hell, if he must. "Jacta alas est."
are now growing. But are we growing this crop? It is rather doubtful; for this report points out further that less than 100 Negro men finished from all our theological schools and seminaries last year, and less than ten of this number were college men. At this rate how many preachers will be on hand to fill the 50,000 pulpits twenty years hence, and of that small percentage how many will be educationally prepared to draw enlightened and intelligent audiences, since college men are turning to other fields? Is the young college man scoring Christian leadership and forsaking the paths of righteousness? The answer is no. The young Negro college man is not turning from Christianity, but is turning more fully toward a real interpretation of Christianity and its demands of those who practice it. He realizes that the fundamental teaching of Christianity is service, that the mainstay of faith is works, and if he, as a race, is to fulfill his mission in the world, he must prepare and tackle the jobs of the world. In other words, the young college man today is decided that the time has come for us to be demonstrators of "the word," not preachers of the word.
(who have studied from the same textbooks, finished from the same schools and passed the same State Medical Boards) dress the wounds, ease the pains and soothe the feverish brow of their own? Why are the K. K. K.'s interested in seeing that Negroes are attended by white doctors at Tuskegee, and whites so anxious to aid the K. K. K. that they lend the government bed sheets for the Kluxers to klux about in? From whence comes this sudden burst of interest in Negroes?
If ever in the history of Alabama we had heard, read or seen half the display of interest manifested or energy expended to open the doors of county hospitals, for the support of which the Negro's money is used, that Negro patients might have the best of attention and Negro doctors might have the benefits thereof; if we had ever seen Alabama make one honest effort to secure for Negroes justice and fair play, perhaps we would not be puzzled at their interest now, or, at least, we could hope for the best. But knowing the "Cracker ridden" State of Alabama and knowing that they care as much about the life and welfare of a Negro as a hawk does the life of a chicken, we are puzzled at the strenuous fight they are making at this time for a chance to sub the aches and pains and doctor the black bodies of "Niggers."
In this same Alabama the Negro is not, in most cases, allowed in the county or city hospital, except by way of the basement, and many times in these Jim Crow hospitals he suffers from wilful neglect, because white doctors are not anxious to serve blacks. But now they come begging, nay, fighting for a chance to roll the pills for Negroes, because, as they say, Negro doctors are not capable of handling such a large institution.
If Negroes are not competent to dress the wounds and ease the pains of Negroes, why should it matter to white Alabama? Only Negroes will suffer from this incompetency. Why should the Ku Klux Klan worry themselves? The more Negroes allowed to die by incompetent Negro doctors, the less there will be left to disturb their feelings of superiority. Why this anxiety on the part of white Alabama to ease the feverish brow of "Niggers"? We are suspicious. We have heard about high salaries which accompany these positions. Can it be this game age-worn root of evil which is causing all the fuss? Or is there a motive more sordid? Science has too long been compelled to use cats, dogs, mice, etc., for experiments, where the use of a human body would have been preferable and, in many cases, was necessary for positive proof. With white Alabama "crackers" behind closed doors and nothing to be lost but the life of a "Nigger"—My God! It can't be so. But who knows? When the fellow who has kicked us, driven us, robbed us, segregated us, lynched and burned us suddenly is possessed with a passionate desire to serve us, all kinds of suspicions rack our brain. If our suspicions are absurd, we are not to blame. The blame is attributable to the Alabama system. When England massacres crowds of blacks, when France asks the League of Nations for permission to destroy whole tribes of native Africans, and Alabamaynches and burns, small worder if a Negrp is prepared to suspect and believe anything.
Can you blame "King" Dempsey? He wants, at least, a chance, and he knows that while he may have a chance with "Tom" or "Dick" there will be none with Harry.
But, deeper still, there is a reason, and behind it all are greater forces than Dempsey or his manager. With this new spirit of self-confidence and appreciation, to which the Negro is being awakened, and his growing resentment to white overlordship, it will not do for a black man to win the both affairs may be far-fetched, but don't forget that there is shrewd method in the white

LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday Night, July 29.—The membership of the New York local maintains a steadfastness in the Universal Negro Improvement Association that is commendable. Their whole-hearted interest is manifested by the large audiences that are present in Liberty Hall at every meeting, and the liberal manner in which they make financial contributions for the carrying on of the work, and for bringing relief, if possible, to their leader, Honn. Marteus Garvey. The inspiration which this attitude on the part of the New York Division has created, is reflected in the reports coming from all sections of the country and abroad of the loyalty of the membership, and the increasing sympathy and support which the movement is obtaining. Thus have recent happenings given an impetus to the movement, and determination to the membership, to put over the program of a United race, and a free and redeemed Africa.
The meeting was provided over tonight by Hon. G. H. Carter, vice-president of the New York local, in the absence of the First Assistant President-General, Hon. William Sherrell.
The speakers were Hon. P. L. Burrows, Second Assistant Secretary-General; Prof. William H. Ferris, and the chairman, Mi Burrows, spoke on the subject, The God-Consciousness of the Negro Awake. At this time, apples, races and nations were watching with great interest the activities and the progress of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and it believed the Negro will his consciousness, awakened through the teachings of the U. N. L. A., to unite
themselves and avert the destruction which the enemy is seeking to bring to the race.
Professor Ferris said Marcus Garvey has given to the Universal Negro Improvement Association and to the Negro race a tremendous momentum. He has given the race a movement that has tremendous driving force—that has the dynamic energy of a Mogul engine. What we need now are wise pilots and guides who can steer the great shift of state in the proper channel. If this tremendous dynamic force is wisely guided and directed, the Universal Negro Improvement Association will be one of the most dynamic movements anywhere in the world in the twentieth century, and will lift the Negro 500 per cent.
Hen G. E. Carter brought to the attention of the meeting and discussed an article in the August number of Current History" Magazine on the "Rebirth of Africa"; or The March of Civilization in Africa." The burden of this article, Mr. Carter showed, was the desi of the white man to "Keep Africa white." He reviewed the methods which the Europeans were employing in Africa in the execution of this slogan, and said that it was because African Garvey had come forward with the reason "Africa for the Africans," that he was fought. Mr. Carter also referred to an article in the New York American, written by a French professor in which he spoke of the native Africans as "duck-bill women" and "mud-faced men." He pointed out the sinister intent of this propaganda, but said that such propaganda could no longer intimidate the Negro, for Marts Garvey had already come upon the same and around the Negroes Eighough the world, and the Negroes
Know full well the possibilities and the resources of Africa, and were determined on one thing: not to stay our courses until we have planted our banners on the hillside of Africa.
HON. MARCUS GARVEY'S MESSAGE
Mr. Garvey's weekly message from
the Tombs prison was read as follows:
"Members and Friends of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, Liberty Hall:
"I trust you are not over-worried and disturbed, over my continued confinement without ball, other than to realize that all those who make efforts to serve humanity are bound by the same rule of suffering and injustice.
"I fully calculated the cost service to my race, and know that what is being done to me is only a part of the price I must pay for daring to arouse the consciousness of four hundred million Negroes to the hope of Empire.
"But a few days ago my attention was drawn to the new slogan for Africa on the part of Europeans: 'Keep Africa for the White Man.' In this slogan lies the doom of our race and because, I attempted to combat the slimmer effort with the retort of 'Africa for the Africans.' I find myself where I am.
"You have enough intelligence to know that I am not here because I committed any crime against society or defrauded anyone, but because I make led the way to Africa's redemption.
"Keep your spirit high and yield nothing in the light we are making to emancipate our race and free our Motherland.
"With God's choicest blessings, I remain your obedient servant.
"MARCUS GARVEY.
"President-General Universal Improvement Association."
HON. P. L. BURROWES SPEAKS
Mr. F. L. Burrowes spoke on the subject, "Is the God Consciousness of the Negro Awake?" In comparing happenings throughout the universe, he said, one must take retrospective views of the past. One must review the past before being able intelligently to estimate what is happening in the present or what will happen in the future. In order to write history in advance, a philosophic or prophetic viewpoint of the future must be taken. In order to fully envisage the present condition of affairs throughout the world as affecting the Universal Negro Improvement Association, one must follow the custom-an Introspective view of things must be taken.
At this time peoples, races and nations were watching with the greatest of interest the activities and the progress of the Universal Negro Improve-
ment Association. They were not watching it with an eye single to its advancement, but with an eye single to destroying it. As the previous speaker, Mr. Carter, said in the few remarks he made, the spirit of Marcus Garvey was not dead. It was very much alive because Mr. Garvey was alive and even though he may die his spirit will never die. The great leader was only temporarily taken away and will come back with greater power and renewed energy to continue the great work he has embarked upon. The mation that has wielded a certain political influence since the year 1066 was on the warpath to destroy the awakening of the new Negro.
He would like to answer the question propounded in his subject and say that the God consciousness of the Negro was awake. When the God consciousness in Toussaint L'Ouverture and the Negro peoples of Haiti was awakened, England, France, and Spain were humiliated. When the God consciousness of George Washington and the people of these United States of America was awakened, before this country was called the United States, freedom and independence were ushered into the land. And when 400,000,000 Negroes saw with the eye single to their advancement and unitedly joined with the U. N. L. A. in the onward march of progress, then could it be said that the God consciousness of the Negro was awake.
Six years ago the Negro felt that he had no home. The Negro felt that he was nobody, had nowhere to, go, came from nowhere and cared little about anything. Today all was changed and new Negroes were gliding shoulder to shoulder determined to press on. The young men and women of the race were determined that the Negro, like all other races, should have a home of his own, no matter where he or she, the individual may be temporarily placed. And when he said young he did not have reference to youth in terms of years. All men and women in the Universal Negro Improvement Association were young. Their young, fresh ideas made them go. Their spirit of determination and their quest of liberty and independence made them young. No one was going to grow old in the Universal Negro Improvement Association until the Red, the Black and the Green was planted on the hill-tops of Africa. (Applause)
PROF. WM. H: FERRIS SPEAKS
Prof. Wm. H. Ferris was the next speaker. In his travels through twenty-five States and more than 300 towns and cities of this country, he said he found that the Negro was not lacking in faith or spirit, because no race that has passed through the fires of persecution that the Negro race has passed through during the past 200 years and still retained its faith in God could be charged with a lack of faith. The Negro has had an enthusiasm to start racial enterprises, and any man who had any proposition, whether it was fraternal or financial, that had meant in it was able to get a following of Negroes.
What the Negro race needed, said Prof. Ferris, is knowledge. He needs wisdom; he needs to be able to take his bearing and consider the means whereby he will realize his own. As a human being the black man wants everything that all other men want; but he has been lacking in the ability to get those things. We have had big schemes in the Universal Negro Improvement Association and big schemes in other organizations, but our failure to succeed in certain ventures was due to our lack of sufficient cash to put them through. The real trouble with the Black Star Line was that it did not have enough money at one time to get a really big boat.
Continuing, he said:
"We have produced men who have had vast ideas, vast schemes, colorful plans and aims, but unfortunately, they lacked the wherewithal to put those things through. Money counts and money tells, and the race that can mobilize its dollars, its ballots, and its guns—that is the race that will win out in the long run.
Unshaken Faith in the U. N. I. A.
He had faith in the Universal Negro Improvement Association, Prof. Ferris said, because of its courage. As long as a race has spirit and faith and enthusiasm, it has an enigle that, will keep going. It may make mistakes, but by and by it will get on the right track. When a race is awakened, besides the awakening of the tongue it needs the awakening of the brain power. Unfortunately, when the Negro gets awakened, the first thing that becomes active is his tongue, and thus are his secret plans revealed to the enemy, enabling him to outghee the Negro. He, the speaker, believed that whatever one's aim or objective was, he should work toward it and not show his hands until he was ready to put the program over.
We are so constituted in this world that big results cannot be attained in a day. Great oak trees that last for scores of years grow slowly; the Roman Empire, the mightiest empire in ancient times, grew step by step, block by block. That is how the Negro race will rise. Those men who expect in one day or one year for the Negro face to accomplish tasks which have taken other races centuries to attain forget that we do not live in the age of miracles but in the age of hard work. The Psalmist said:
"The paths of great men reached and kept
Were not attained by sudden flight;
But they, while their companions slept,
Were tolling upward in the night."
Garvey's Dynamic Force
Marcus Garvey had given to the Universal Negro Improvement Association and to the Negro race a tremendous momentum. He has given the race a movement that has tremendous driving force, that has the dynamic energy of a mogul engine. What we used now ate

(Applause.)
Mr. G. E. Cartier delivered the closing address. He reviewed the striking comments made by Mr. Uthal Vincent Wilcox in the August number of the "Current History" magazine on the "Rebirth of Africa" or the "Murch of Civilisation in Africa." Mr. Wilcox set forth, he said, the progress made in Africa in the last quarter of a century, progress made while certain nations and individuals were asleep. The diplomats of the world had parcelled out Africa to the white people of Europe, and only three semi-independent countries remained in Africa — Liberia, Abyssinia and Egypt, and the total area of these three countries only amounted to 741,000 square miles. On the other hand, France owned a total of 4,474,000 square miles, more than thirty times the area of the home country; Great Britain owned 3,854,000 square miles, more than thirty times the area of the British Isles; Belgium came next with 928,000 square miles, more than eighty times the size of the governing country; Portugal followed with 327,000 square miles, equal to twenty-six times the size of Portugal itself; Italy possessed 591,000 square miles, more than four times the size of the governing country, and Spain possessed 128,100 square miles, which is about two-thirds the size of the homeland.
"Keep Africa White"
"That." Mr. Carter continued, "should furnish food for thought. And then this man goes on and he says that the one slogan is to 'keep Africa white.' And he tells the 'white man' he is writing 'these articles for the benefit of the white people; he does not prize colored people will read these things; he tells the white man how to keep Africa white. 'A popular slogan is heard today,' he says; 'keep Africa white.' To this end the native held in subjection, mostly in an economic and social way. In the southeastern part of the contingent the issue has been met by placing the natives on reservations similar to those for the Indians in America. This plan is being agitated for in other parts of Africa. To complete the situation further a division into three classes is crystallizing. The African of direct European descent holds that he must hold central socially, economically and governmentally, come what may. Next come the Boers, who are respected as conservative and shrewd farmers. Finally the lowest place in the social order is for the native Negro, who is tolerated as a laborer, but who is watched to see that he has no morals, that he does not learn too much and that he acquires no aspirations to a higher position.
Because the natives are willing to emigrate to the towns and other country of population and work for little or nothing there is a demand for their services in the unkilled classes of labor. The missionaries turtles look out the natives and endure to give them an education in the mission schools and on the mission farms. As soon as they have learned the most rudiments of the language and customs, employment agents permeate them with rosy promises such as the schools and go to the towns and other to work for a few shillings a day, which sounds like great wealth to people who scarcely know the value of money and have no social standard to maintain.

Then while the white man is carrying on this kind of propaganda, seeking to keep Africa white, see the Frenchman beginning another form of propaganda in the United States. Writing through the 'American' you will find a man, who is a French professor, who got to rhyme his discoveries, about the 'duckbill women' and the 'ear-faced men' and other African horrors. Can't you see through all this? It is all calculated to reach colored folks and make your believe that there are men over there with scarred faces, women with duck bills, and these men will eat up you, destroy you. That is to intimidate you, frighten you and keep you from returning to your home land. But this while professor who is trying to make you unite his schisms have come upon the scene too late. Merci.

Concluding, Mr. Carter said every one of them should rejoice that they had a leader who was one hundred years ahead of his time, who for nine years, in spite of derision and scorn, had been preaching the very things which the French professor's writings brought vividly to their minds. They should rejoice that God had used Marcus Garvey to awaken a mighty race whose potentialities would be felt as soon as the Negro demonstrated his ability to follow in the wake of Marcus Garvey. (Applause.)

THE LACK OF VISION
I means to a deeper consciousness of the needs of the times than they had so far realized, and the phrase aroused the whole country. "I call," he said, "all forward looking men to my side." The need for forward-looking men was indeed urgent in 1917; it is even more urgent today. "Where there is no vision, the people perish." And it would seem as though we need especially at this time to bear in mind the warning of the ancient proverb. Had the people in 1914 possessed the gift of vision can it be doubted that the horrors which have since afflicted mankind would have been spared? Had vision been vouchsafed the rulers, it may surely be taken for granted that, rather than rush to the arbitrament of the sword, they would have discovered other means of satiating their ambitions or composing their differences. But the results were not foreseen, vision was absent, and the whole world has suffered, and is still suffering, in consequence.
This lack of vision indeed appears to be an outstanding characteristic of the present times, and as it is with nations even so, to a greater degree, it is among us as a people. It might have been thought that the experiences of the past would at least have brought home to all the dire results of internecine squabblings and quarrelings. But the same lack of vision prevails. The same desire to light one another emerges again and again. The same old feeling of envy, hatred and malice, rears its head and stalks the country in all its nakedness, unashamed. Nothing, it would seem, can make them seek to reach the same goal even if going by different routes.
The N. N. A., through the vision or its leader, has mapped out a clearcut course, and the vision of Marcus Garvey looms largely as a bright particular star in the firmament of racial ambition. The success he has attained has roused the bitter, vengeful ire of those who even fail to follow, and judging from some of the so-called analyses of the movement by self-appointed leaders it would seem, as Wordsworth expressed it:
... The men who, for their desperate ends
Had plucked up mercy by the root, were glad
Of this new enemy. Tyrants, strong before
In wicked pleas, were strong as demons now.
An even more striking case of the lack of vision is the effort to prevent Marcus Garvey getting bail. Engineered by those who believe his absence will result in a process of disintegration of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the authorities are still on the qui vive, blocking every movement to get for him his constitutional and statutory rights. Those behind this movement in their insatiable desire to try and down their foe lose sight of the fact of the precedent they are thereby creating, and here is where their short-sightedness is most apparent.
But they are counting without their host in believing that the removal of Marcus Garvey from the scene of his activities will give the movement a setback. Study the columns of the Negro World each week and it must dawn upon the dullest that, the vision of Garvey will grow broader and brighter, that his idea is taking firmer root, and that the people all over the country as well as abroad, are alive to the situation and have realized that it is the bounded duty of all men of good will to endeavor to gain the forward-looking habit and cultivate the gift of vision.
THE JANUS FACED DOCTOR"
THE medieval schoolmen were such past masters in casuistry that they could prepare briefs and arguments for antagonistic positions with equal grace and facility. This intellectual attitude is known as being "Janus faced," that is, facing both ways. It is also known as "Straddling the fence," as "Blowing hot and blowing cold at one and the same time," as "Running with the hare and hunting with the hound."
Twenty years ago Dean Kelly Miller perfected this style of argumentation, until in December, 1902, he was invited to address the Boston Literary Society, and struck a snag. He presented in that address a brief for the industrial education of the Negro and a brief for the higher education of the Negro. After the Bostonians finished dissecting and analyzing the dean, he discovered the unwisdom of presenting briefs for the affirmative and the negative in one and the same address.
Dr. W. F. B. DuBois tried the same sort of intellectual jugglery in Philadelphia recently. In one and the same address he attempted to condemn and to justify jim-crowism.
So far as we can learn, Dr. DuBois' address left his Philadelphia hearers in a state of confusion and uncertainty, resembling the primeval mist and chaos out of which the worlds were evolved. Their mental state was what William James, the psychologist, would call one of "blooming confusion," and Dr. DuBois's explanatory letter did not clear the mists away.
A speaker is sometimes misunderstood because what he says' humorously and ironically is taken seriously. This was illustrated when Senator William M. Evarts escorted Lord Chief Justice Russell down the Potomac to Mount Vernon. The Lord Chief Justice, remarked he had heard that George Washington once threw a silver dollar clear across the Potomac, and he didn't see how the feat was possible. The witty Senator facetiously replied that a dollar went further those days than it did now. The Chief Justice could not
understand what relation the changed national values of a dollar had to do with George Washington throwing a silver dollar across the Potomac. It took him a couple of hours to see that it was a joke. So we thought it might be with certain portions of Dr. DuBois' Philadelphia address.
But after reading his explanatory letter we were almost in the same state of mind as his hearers in the City of Brotherly Love. This was Dr. DuBois' line of reasoning: jim-crowism, and especially jim-crowism in public schools, is a bad thing, and causes race hatred, etc. The colored citizens of Philadelphia made a mistake in not fighting Jim-crowism in the public schools twenty, twenty-five, thirty years ago. So far, so good.
Now the natural conclusion would be that the colored citizens of Philadelphia should be commended for presenting the fact that the Cheney Training School for colored teachers, of which Leslie Pinckney Hill is principal, had been transformed into a State Normal School for colored people into a State jim-crow institution. Dr. DuBois attempted to make a partial justification, defense and apology for segregation and jim-crowism: And that was the rub. Dr. DuBois was illogical in that his conclusions were not in harmony with the premises, and this in a Harvard Ph. D. who had taken advanced postgraduate courses in German universities.
As Dr. DuBois in one portion of his address condemned jim-crowism and in another portion approved of it, we do not know whether his anti-jim-crowism promises or his pro-jim-crow conclusion represents his real attitude.
Dr. DuBois spoke of Negroes having a separate social, religious, and fraternal life in America. But so have the Jews, Irish, Italians, Greeks and Swedes to a certain extent. But this is entirely different from a state legislature, by mandate of law discriminating against one racial group and setting it apart, and thus legalizing caste, prejudice and color proscription.
The point at issue, which Dr. DuBois seems to have overlooked, is not whether colored teachers can conduct a first class normal school, but whether a jim-crow State Normal School should be started in the state in which the Declaration of Independence was signed; in the state which launched the anti-slavery movement, and in the state which gave birth to the Republican party.
Professor Leslie Pinckney Hill does not love jim-crowism; else he would not have left Virginia and Alabama, where jim-crowism is in the saddle. He wants to live in the North. He does not like to preach but he would prefer conducting a school, changing his school from a private school, supported by philanthropists, to a school receiving a state appropriation which would swell the number of his pupils and increase his salary. And like many colored leaders he would reluctantly sacrifice principle for a temporary consideration. That seems to be the core of the Cheney incident. It is unfortunate that segregation limits the opportunity of an educated man of color in the North and he is either forced to starye or do menial work or go South to teach. Live in the North and swallow his convictions and principles for the sake of a political, editorial, ecclesiastical or educational job. That is the tragedy in the lives of many educated Negroes.
TRAITORS AND PATRIOTS
IN attempting to deal with this subject we think it wise to define the true meaning of the terms for the benefit of our readers, some of whom knew; others who have known and forgotten; those who do not know them as they should, and still others who have never stopped to investigate the altruistic meaning of them.
The worst traitor is generally applied to a pernicious person—to one who is guilty of treason or the betrayal of his country to an enemy by breach of trust Again, a traitor is one who betrays any confidence. In general terms a traitor is any deceiver to a great or worthy cause, such, for example, as the cause we now espouse—the Universal Negro Improvement Association, for the bringing about of a free and redeemed Africa.
A patriot, on the other hand, is one who loves his native country; and one's native country can be only that country from whence sprung one's ancestors originally. So the welfare of that country should come first in the hearts of all true liberty-loving sons, of that particular land. The term patriot may also be used in explaining or proclaiming one who is devoted to a cause, even to the laying down of his life, as we believe Marcus Garvey is willing and ready to do should the occasion arise. Therefore if a man promises and is willing to lay down his life for a cause, surely pecuniary gain, monetary consideration, cannot and will not stop him; neither can selfish aims nor individual aggrandizement.
True patriotism is born in the hearts of such persons, and when we realize that nobleness of spirit is always inborn and cannot be acquired as one would a habit, then we can truly understand that patriotism is nobleness of spirit born in the individual who loves his country.
For of all the land and water
Upon this terrestrial ball
True patriots never falter
To answer their country's call.
Patriots, then, are among the first and highest class of any people, and traitors are among the last and lowest type of their criminals. Patriots form the crowning trespassance of all people, and the traitor the duil, remorseless, cringing vipers of the same.
The Universal Negro Improvement Association is determined, come what may, to establish a new order of things, and, in doing so, to perpetuate that precedent for the superlative civilization that must follow in the wake of African redemption. Therefore, in order to do this we must take cognizance of friend and foe. We are, because of this, preparing our niches for patriots and our pedal tablets for our traitors; and even if the records of the U. N. L. A. were destroyed these men would still be remembered for the good or evil they have done. Their names must be transmitted to generations unborn by writing and by tradition, for even at this early stage they are known as members of one class or the other throughout the world, and their names have become words to conjure with on one hand or to belittle and ignore on the other.
Many people may ask how are these things to be put into execution and what do the foregoing terms mean? One of these terms is already well understood, because it has been in use for hundreds of years; but the Universal Negro Improvement Association is establishing this precedent now, that our traitors also may be dishonored as our patriots are honored. After the new world of a superlative civilization, the Confederated Territories of Africa, which we hope will be the new name of our redeemed motherland, has become a reality, the precedent will be followed.
So as to enlighten the minds of the immateur or less informed rega- ing these terms which will mean so much to our history, we will define our terms. The term niche is a recess, a small alcove in a wall for a statue or statuette of men and women whose compatriots desire that their memories shall live down the ages of history, immortalizing them for some great service rendered to the cause of a people or a state. Poet, warrior, statesman, prince or peasant, who prove by their sing- ness of aim, determination of spirit and self-sacrifice that they were worthy to be cherished and revered in the hearts of their countrymen, will be immortalized by their sponsors.
The pedal tablets have never been used before by any nation, but the Universal Negro Improvement Association is going to keep ever before its members the names of those who instead of serving their race and the cause rather opposed that most solemn right of all peoples—
the right to possess themselfs. We are glad to say that up to grand time we have but not many traitors, but they are coming our way. Most of them at present are dignitaries and money-grabbers through no direct fank of thethes. Hence we pay such, for the Neuro of the old school knows very little of true honor, and therefore is not acquainted with that stick-to-it-veness and omnipotence of purpose inculcated by other races. Their purpose generally has been "Make me great. What care I for the other fellow?" The exaggerated ago, the big I. Hence the race has been trodden under foot by the seckless money-getting mendicants, whose only passport is a double face, a lying tongue, a broad, compromising grin and a good time.
Hence the preparation of our memorial pedal tablets for our traitors of the greatest racial gospel ever preached by man calls for a new order of things. They will be inlaid upon the floors of our halls of legislation, libraries, museums, etc., in order that the sons and daughters of Ethiopia may fully understand the price we paid, and that it was not paid without opposition from members and some would-be great leaders of our race.
Thus will we ever keep before us the good and the evil done by our people in our struggle for the cause of African redemption.
THE TREND OF EVENTS
N the trend of human events along the rugged path to the readjustment and general emancipation of the oppressed and down-trodden
ment and general enganipation of the oppressed and down-trodden races through which the spirit of unrest and discontent has taken hold of the entire world we find Europe in a state of turmoil. She does not know what step next to take because of her bankrupt condition physically, financially and politically. Her former reserve forces are preparing to slip from her grasp. That is to say, her holdings in Africa, from whose wealth Europe has in the past recuperated herself, are today losing their loyalty, to her utter dissatisfaction.
In Asia, where from one end to the other the people as one man are stretching out their hands to Allah, seeking the right to self-government, we can truly see a spiritual response. The ultimate consolidation of the darker races of the earth seems a possibility. And who are the darker races of the earth? They are constituted of the 400,000,000 Negroes, or Africans, and the 815,000,000 Asiatics combined, giving a total of 1,215,000,000 of the earth's population, which is 1,732,000,000, which when subtracted from this gives the continent of Europe and the Americas a total population of 517,000,000.
And through this we see again the great mysterious hand of the Almighty, as in the days of that great and mighty Babylon, writing on the wall of the present-day Belshazzaric feast of the wicked nations of the earth. Mark well the wicked nations, and, behold, these nations are sore afraid, struck dumb with fear and remorse. Woe unto you, for you have brought this calamity upon yourselves, and the great reckoning day is at hand! And, what seems to make it worse, the pitiable state of affairs which confront this Belshazzar is that he cannot help himself, for the wrongs perpetrated bring remorse, and remorse, like the grim-visaged giant of fear, stalks back of the guilty conscience.
And while there are wise men and sages deep in lore among them they fail to dispel the gathering gloom which mars their prospective greed of universal control. Therefore the wisest of the earth are called into councils at Lausanne, Geneva and Versailles, and again they fail to interpret. But the words of a captive in the land, has sounded the clarion call. This call has reverberated around the world, and it has been taken up by another captive and relayed. The reason for this manner of relaying is that the world has grown so big that to sound the call simultaneously, calls for a representative of each of these peoples and we find in these captives good men and true called from among the people to interpret this modern menc, menc, tekel upharsin. The wicked nations are found guilty of misusing their powers to the detriment of the weaker peoples' peace and happiness, and can no longer be trusted with the guardianship of the present civilization, because they are bowing to the Baal of individual aggrandizement through the lives of budding manhood and womanhood and to nationalistic brigandage through the exploitation and exclusion of the darker peoples of the earth. Today you find the African and Asiatic Israelite scattered throughout the length and breadth of the universe among the Caucasian Egypt of present-day bondage. And since these peoples today are between the devil of indiscriminate prejudice, segregation, jim-crowism and peonage and the deep blue sea of industrial and economic stagnation, God has sent these captive men to interpret your dislodgment—Mahatma Gandhi and Marcus Garvey. M. G.; Men (seit by) God.
INTERESTING IMPRESSIONS OF AN HISTORIC TRIAL GRAPHICALLY TOLD
SIDELIGHTS BY A 8CRIBE
the conference shrieking. "Washington must go!"
Here is a line experiment. Contemplate it. Dig up the remains of George Washington. By some miracle breathe into them the breath of life. Endow him with a spiritual body. Stand him up on his feet. He departed this life in the year of our Lord 1799, so give him time to become acclimatized. Let him look around and take in the new scene. Let him exclaim, "O temporal O morsel" to his heart's content. Then seize him and rush him into a Federal courtroom, thrust him in a felon's dock, put him on trial for having betrayed the Republic of the United States of America. Get a judge from West, or East, North or South, and place him on the bench. Entrust the prosecution to an Assistant District Attorney, he be Jew or Gentile. Place twelve good men and true, artisan or grocer or bank clerk or retired policeman, in the jury box. Let the scene be New York. The time, midsummer. Let Washington conduct his own defense.
And when they have gotten down to business, what do you think would happen? Think you the "Father of your country" would have a chance? Can you not visualize him on his way, riding free, but handcuffed, to the sunny South, there to hopbob with some less distinguished sons of Uncle Sam in some mournful mansion in the land of Georgia? Ah! Mighty is the press! Wonderful the ward the newspaper wizard wields! Serene in his sanctum, he sits and surveys his victims and visits torture, at his will, alike upon the proud and the meek. And, when he has feasted full, like a gorged python, his brain-bumbed, he sings this little ditty: "But great fleas have little fleas upon, their backs to bite 'em, and little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum."
Not the least of the malign forces at work, against all fair play and justice, to bring about the conviction of Marcus Garvey was the press of New York, the great white press. All the powerful journals of this, the greatest metropolis in the world, vied with each other in rivalry to influence the verdict against the man. Nothing was left undone that could be done. All the armaments of ridicule and scorn, satire and suggestion, exaggeration and misrepresentation were employed. For a month, let it be said to their eternal discredit, the white press of New York strove to encompass this. In most communities, when a case is sub judice, newspapers of repute repress their feelings and confine themselves to a fair report of the proceedings. Whatever animosities they harbor against a defendant, however splendid a subject he or she may appear for cheap salaries, responsible, fair-minded journals curb their spite and venom and only give it full rein when the law has decided. The laws of the land no less than the ethics of decent journalism demand this. But when Marcus Garvey was on trial, all
Conincident with this, assembled the editors-in-chief of the powerful New York newspapers. Bring together the captains of the New York "Herald," the New York "World," the New York "Times," the New York "American," the New York "Tribune," the New York "Daily News," and all those who control the fortunes of the evening offshoots of any of the aforementioned journals. Take them into your confidence. Expound the experiment. Make them take the pledge to be bitterly hostile to the defendant, to use all their wiles to brand him before the public a mountebank, an ignoramus, a menace to the .commonwealth. Let them know they must flay him unmercifully night and day, never let up, not even when the jurymen are considering their verdict or the Judge his sentence. Theirs to be the ardor of a prohibitionist, the resourcefulness of a bootlegger. Chant in their ears the litany, "Vox-popul, vox Dex." Remind them theirs is the people's voice; that a Divine hate enchites their heads. Send them forth from
involving the war with the enemy.
An仁领 in bad word ordered a prosecutor mentioned, in confidence, a course to some explanation of the proof that he had received an appeal letter, or two of three—how many, if any—and straightway the New York Herald" curtailing a confidence, achieved immortality. It guided to the gutter and walked over gloried in the wallowing. So did the "Daily News." If anything favoured to the defendants case was stilted in evidence of a nature too startling to be altogether sidetracked, it was carefully treated, given a coating of sugar, before it saw the light of day. For example, Cargill, a Negro boy witness for the prosecution, admitted in answer to questions put by Marces Garvey and afterward by Judge Mack that he had been schooled to say certain things by the prosecutor, Maxwell Mattuck. The New York Herald, next day—in its "report" of the proceedings gave a masterly whitewash. These were the headlines it employed, spread over two columns: "Garvey in Court Coxes Office Boy for Truth: Thunderda Questions, Then Pauses, Hand Cuffed to Ear, to Ask What, You Say" at Each Faint Answer." The nature of "the story that followed may well be imagined. Under the "Herald" wizard Cargill became a sucking babe, Garvey a roaring lion bent on devouring the babe Cargill and the reputation of Mattuck the mild, the whole affair just an example of the brazen effrontery of the man:
On the afternoon of the day when the case went to the jury the New York "Evening Post", climaxed all previous efforts from any quarter with the publication of a particularly scourulous and venomous article against Marcus Garvey. The matter was drawn to the court's attention and a request made that the writer, a woman, be cited for contempt. Were the court and prosecutor indignant at this vile breach? Of course they were. The prosecutor strongly condemned the yellow organ. The judge, who remarked, in passing, that he knew the lady and was shocked at her lause, declared that if there was reason to believe that the article had gotten into the hands of the jury no effort would be spared to have the offender punished. Of course, it might have happened—and who knows that it did not?—that the jurymen in some interval between their deliberations, at lunch or supper, might have seen the amazing article, but the chances of this occurring were small. So the judicial anger cooled, the prosecutor's indignation softened and the lady, the author of the illiterate effusion, was able a few days later, when Marches Garvey was brought, up for sentence, to joke valuingliously at the press table with white brother reporters about her underhand stab at justice.
And the daily scenes around the press table! Mr. MacArve Garvey had been guilty of advocating that papermen live the life of the Father, their personal detestation of him could not have been more complete. If the respectability of a newspaper, is in the slightest degree to be gagged by the conduct of its reporters, then either the riff-raff of New York journalism was assigned to cover the Garvey case or New York journals and common decency temporarily part company when ambition in a. Negro rears its head. I ignore the meaning winks, yes, ordinary, vulgar, schoolboy winks, which the prosecutor and gentlemen of the press would exchange when the former would baffle a witness with some clever question or produce in evidence some, to him, very important document. To sit during the trial at the press table and listen, be forced to listen to the conversation of white reporters there, to study their demeanor, was to realize how vitally in some way or other Marcus Garvey had incurred the hatred, of these white gentlemen of the fourth estate, how slender his chances for a semblance of fair treatment at the hands of the great white press of New York stood. "If Garvey wins, Matiuck is in a bad way," or a gentleman muddied his neighbor and said one day. "How can he win?" was the quick rejoinder. "We will take care of that." Of such was the attitude of the great white press of New York.
Not the slightest attempt was made to report the proceedings. The mission of reporters was to extract from the evidence or the bon mots of prosecutor or judge some rank morsel that could be dished up next day as polson fodder for a hungry public. If a witness for the prosecution told of having invested $10 in the Black Star Line, a cipher was added, so that it could be said a life's savings were involved. It was made to appear that Garvey's supporters, a lawless element, an overflow crowd, would throw the courtroom doors shouting encouragement to their chief or muttering threats under their breath, and securing eviction therefor. Description of the clothes of witnesses for the defense, their history, their genealogical tree gained more space than the evidence itself. Garvey, to judge from the view, was a Croesus, his wife an Irene Castle. A man, hustled into court and sentenced to two months' imprisonment for alleged threats made to witnesses, was "Garvey's friend," according to a headline. Garvey was the man who ruled the Universal Negro Improvement Association, which ruled the souls of two men, who slew a man, who was to be a witness for the prosecution. These few bars give some idea of the raucous, tune the great New York press piped daily for a month, to "put away" Garvey. And when the alm was achieved, when Marcus Garvey, convicted on one count, was reminded for sentenced, the New York World sang a song of hate, editorially.
The New York "World," established, we are told, on May 10, 1888. "Always to fight for progress and reform, never to tolerate injustice and corruption, never to be satisfied with merely gugging
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 gurt 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.

THE MEMORIAM
OF AFRICA IN WAY
ALL YOUR LAND
Idea Is Pursuing a Sea
Gigantic Enough to Hold
the Lakes of Opposition
The Hon. Marcos Garvey and his
followers are being leaked open as
"tools" and "tantation", because the
idea of African redemption is living
in their heads. But men that were
never sneered at; men that have
never stirred up any virulent anti-
mnosites; men that have not been
called fools and hatrices can never
be the pioneers of flouted truth or the
champions of forlorn hopes.
The idea of. African redemption is enjoying (the beatitude of) malediction because it fears man so little and God so much. Respectability hates. It; churches are frowning at it; because it is the idea of idea. But, when the time shall have come for the history of the Negro race 'to be written completely, formost chronologically, is not in other senses also, it will stand; for neither the clanging of arms, the combat of heroes, nor the death of the mighty is interesting the minds of Negroes as the idea of redeeming their fatherland.
What it is Doing
Already the idea is elevating the views of Negroes beyond the form of slavishness; already they are being uplifted on the wings of Garveyism and their pathways are being scattered with the gleams of an African empire; already the idea is becoming a sea gigantic enough to hold into its spacious bosom the likes of opposition, the rushing torents of impetuous actions, and the dissolving foam of unbelief.
Already it is calling forth the talents of Negroes in all parts of the world, and, come what may, through all the world's clamor, Negroes are begin-
THE GREAT AWAKENING
As Seen by Croton Point Beach Crowds
On last Sunday a continuous stream of automobiles, all owned by our people, drove through Beaches and majestically parked themselves into a beautiful half-moon curve, which made a very wonderful appearance. There were cars of all makes and descriptions: Packards, Cadillacs, Dodge, Dodge-Blue Porsche Packards, Moons and Lexington. Remember, all these cars came to Croton Point and all owned by our people, which is a striking example of our increased health and prosperity. When the day came and the sun, hanging low and red in the west, these cars, one, two, and three at a time, tripped away along the Old Albany Post Road, smooth and good. The road was fairly ground under the weight of our own prosperity. The drive into town was so lovely and fine, like a long herd of cows, led by a bell cow, now a Cadillac; they all seemed to enjoy the bell-cow position.
Croton Point has already, in so short a time as a month, become the fine rendezvous of our best people, the most beautiful and most beautiful of its great beauty, and its accessibility to New York and the towns of Westchester County, and because, too, the pleasure of bathing in the long salt water beaches, and fishing in the fresh water, is another beautiful sight on the North End of the property is the old Underhill Mansion of thirty-two rooms with its high tower overlooking the whole town, and the water was built many years ago, and is in a fine state of preservation and, with a little alteration, will be in fine condition for a club-house and general canteen, accommodation of motorists and week-ends. Mr. R. W. Justice is responsible for this great property and beach for our people, and he is executing and carrying it out on a very high plane with the ultimate success of the project.
We are very glad to comment on the fact that the Cadillac Motor Car Company is behind him and his associates in this great movement. It will certainly lend itself for the great support of all the people, and just now we have a vision of the very great future for himself and his associates.
being able to unite, politically, spiritually, philosophically of the same time an capability, an engine for power over their realms.
The idea of redemption Action in invoking on the velocity of electricity and sound or later it will heighten the threat against the store of millions—already it is shaking almost threes.
The idea is being criticized, but a golden age is dawning when it will be unpredictably isolated, and—when that morning shall have dawned, it will be a morning without slouches!
A just and righteous Idea can never die! Many of the good men that are advocating the cause may die, but their utterances will be preserved in the Negroes' literature and become silent forces which will help to mould and shape the destiny of posterity.
Though foes the idea now prevent, A day will come when they'll lament; Their conscience surely will repent. The wrongs they did with had intent. Already the idea of redeeming Africa is leaving its "footprints on the sands of time"; already it is being applauded by the age to come! The popularity it has gained is not that which its enemies are running after, for that which they are running after is only mushroom popularity—the echo of folly and the shadow of renown.
It desires only that applause which is bestowed by after ages on virtuous actions. It is that popularity' which follows and not that which is run after; it is that popularity which, sooner or later, never falls to do justice to the pursuits of noble ends by noble means.
Honor to Be Hated
Thought it has the honor of being the heat hated in the world it is an honor it is sharing with many of God's noblest heroes and sweetest saints; it is an honor it is sharing with martyrs and prophets, and with the great benefactors of mankind; with the Apostles, with Christ Himself.
The idea that has played any real part in the history of the world and has not been assailed with bitter and brutal words, or heard no bitter hissing; the idea that has never refused to swim with the stream of unrighteous ideas and to answer the multitude according to their ideals, will never gale the applause of the ages nor will it be treasured in the memory of postity.
As I listen methinks I hear the idea of African redemption saying to the world that he will not do that which his conscience tells him is wrong to gain the hurrah of thousands or the daily praise of all the papers which come from the press; methinks I hear him saying: I will not avoid doing what I think is right, though it should draw on me the whole artillery of libels—all that malice can invent or credulity swallow.
As a Negro I cannot believe that the blight and curse of slavery shall be forever perpetuated! I cannot believe that Ethiopia's civilization in its journey with the sun will sink into endless night. I cannot believe—that such a fate will ever befall our race, stricken though we now are with the ravages of oppression.
A Clear Perspective
I have another and a far brighter vision before my gaze. It may be but a vision, but posterity will live to cherish it; it may be but a vision, but so long as there is a Jehovah His people will be free!
As I gaze beyond the horizon of endless sea methinks I see a Moses standing on the bank of time, with rod in hand, preparing himself to divide the waters of opposition.
As I gaze with poetic eye along the corridors & time I see one vast confederation stretching from the temperate north in unbroken line to the glowing south, and from the wild billows of the Atlantic westward to the calmer waters of the Pacific main; and I see one people and one language and one law and one faith; over all that wide and majestic continent of Africa I see the home of freedom, and a refuge for the oppressed Negroes of every clime. Agan, I repeat, most emphatically, it is but a vision, but I am inspired to say, posteriority will live to cherish it; for, as God has been the help of our fathers "in ages past." He also will, undoubtedly, be the help for those to come.
The editions, memoirs and diaries of the New York local were given a real treat on Monday night, when Miss Kila. Gordon introduced at Library Hall her troupe of young dancers Miss Gordon deserves great credit for having succeeded in training children of such tender years to execute the difficult movements with such charm and ease as to evoke the thunderous and appreciative applause of an audience which is a fairly difficult one to please.
It would have been difficult for professionals to have danced with more grace and technique than the "polites damnuses" who entered into the spirit of the dances and gave us an exhibition that was worth going miles to see.
All of the young dancers did well, but special mention must be made of Baby Rosalie Williams, a tiny tot of three years; Sylvia Harrigan and Ruth Williams, both of whom are 6 years old. These little fairies showed that they are the queens of jazz, and the skilful manner. In which they executed the "Charleston" Picked Cherries" and "Shuffle Along" made the old-young 'uns green with envy, especially those who delight in tripping the light fantastic toe.
Stage fright had no terrors for the little ones, but rather, they seemed to put more life and pep into the steps the more the audience applauded. One little tot, a boy of four years, seemed highly impressed by Baby Rosalie, and when she was doing some high kicking steps showed his appreciation by leading the encore.
Dancing, especially, those which bring into play a large number of muscles, is a healthy and pleasant form of recreation, imparting grace and suppleness to the body, and developing firm, strong and well-shaped legs.
We are sure that the little dancers who entertained us on Monday night will grow into graceful and shapely women, who will not have to depend on the corset or other artificial aids to give them a beautiful figure.

INVENT OF NATIVE RACES AND DOGLE BREWING IN KENYA OVER IT
Old System of Handing Over the Native Population and Its Land to the Exploitation of a Handful of White Masters Is Played Out, and the Negro in Every Part of the World Is Shaking Off the Black Pall of Darkness That Enshrouded Him for Ages
three-colored, race-row—black, brown and white-native, Hindu and British—is developing in the British East African Crown Colony of Kenya, where, as we are told, the real problem is not merely that of race equality within the British Empire, but "the whole future of the British Empire in Africa." On the surface the situation raises such questions as "whether the Indians should be given the franchise on an equality with the settlers; whether Indian immigration should be restricted, and whether the highlands should be reserved for white men." As the London Nation and Atheneum informs us:
The population of Kenya consists of about 3,000,000 Africans, about 25,999 Indians, and about 10,000 white men. The government of the country has hitherto been the ordinary type of Crew Colony administration, i.e. the white settlers elected, representatives to the Legislative Council, but the governor has an official majority on the council, and so ultimate authority remaining with him, and through him with the Colonial Office and the Imperial Government. The Kenya administration has always been extraordinarily complacent to the settlers. All the best land, in the hills has been either sold to them, or given on lease for 999 years at very low prices. Africans who inconveniently occupied African land in desirable situations were removed and relegated to less fertile reserves. When the Africans refused to come and work for very low wages for the settlers, the government yielded to the settlers' repeated demands, and administrative pressure was applied in various ways to "induce" the Africans to supply cheap labor.
Mow They Do It
But for some time past the settlers have been dissatisfied with the position. There has been a wide-spread demand among them for more direct compulsion upon the African to supply labor, a compulsion to be applied either by law or by cutting down the reserves and increasing the taxation of natives. It became obvious that neither the local government nor the Colonial Office could possibly grant these demands in face of the opposition in this country. Immediately there arose among the white settlers great opposition to the existing form of government, continual criticism of the 'official majority' on the council, and the galeand for responsible government. Responsible government means, of course, in this case that the administration shall be responsible to an elected majority on the Legislative Council, but that the elected representatives shall be elected by and shall represent only the 10,000 white settlers out of a population of between three and four millions. In other parts of Africa similar demands have been made and granted, with the inevitable result that the native population and its land have been handed over to the exploitation of a handful of white masters.
But in Kenya the problem was not so easy of solution, for another factor existed and stood between the very

vocal settler and the inarticulate African"—25,000 immigrant's from India. so—
If there was to be a franchise, and an elected majority, and responsible government, what about the Indians and racial equality within the empire? The question was promptly asked by the Indians and by India, which is no longer inductible. It received a very prompt answer from the settlers. This is a white man's country," they said. "A deceased Secretary of State for the Colonies pledged the British Empire that no land in the Kenya highlands should ever be sold to a brown or a black man. Those highlands must be reserved for white men. The immigration of Indians must be stopped. Indians now in Kenya must be "aggregated." The franchise must not be given to Indians, because, if it is, the government of Kenya will be in the hands of Indians, and we shall be holding over the natives of Africa to Asiatics and to Mohammedans, and betraying our sacred trust of Christianity and civilization. And if we are not allowed to perform that sacred trust, if the imperial government attempts to give the franchise to Indians, then we shall take to arms and impose our will by force."
"So issue was joined' between the white settler and the Indian. The controversy here turns upon the Indian demand that they be given the franchise on the same terms as the settlers with a common register, and that no new restrictions be introduced with regard to immigration. Toward the end of last year a compromise was worked out in London, but, when it, was referred to Kenya, it was rejected absolutely by the settlers, who threaten force if their full claims are not satisfied. Meanwhile, they called to their aid, the useful weapon of propaganda. It has been represented that, if the Indian claims with regard to the franchise and immigration be conceded, it will mean that Kenya and its three million native inhabitants will be handed over to the government of Indian immigrants, for they already outnumber the white men by over two to one. So the settler made his first appearance before the British public dressed in a white sheet, with a cross on his breast, supported or half supported by: a bishop, and claiming to be the knight arrant of the liberties and happiness of three million Africans." This "beautiful but imaginary vision" of Lord Delamere and Mr Grogan has been represented so we are told today.
"The representatives of the Indians have explicitly stated: (1) That they consider it vital that the official majority should be retained in the legislative council, thus assuring to the government the power of outvoting legislation adversely affecting the native; until the natives themselves are able to undertake responsible government; (2) that they have no desire whatever to take any part in the direct administration of native affairs, which should be left entirely in the hands of the colonial officials. This statement of the Indian deputation disposes of the settlers' cause against the Indians."
The Real Question
However, "the real question which is now being fought over" and "within a few weeks must be settled." In the Colonial Office, is: "Are these territories to be administered by the imperial government as a 'sacred trust of civilization' until upon time as their African inhabitants may be capable of self-government, or are they to be handed over to the absolute rule of a handful of British settlers, planters and traders whose interest in the territories is confined to economic exploitation?" In what sense is Kenya to be another "White man's burden?" The Madras "Swaraya" reflects the indignation among Hindus by the recent utterances of a Scottish clergyman, Dr. Arthur. Says the Madras paper:
"In an interview lately given to the 'Manchester Guardian,' he repeats the stock-in-trade of self-seeking, imperialist grabbers, all about the 'white trusteeship of the African natives' and the prospective injury that would accrue to Kenya through the paramountcy or even the predominance of Eastern morality and civilization. 'Dr. Arthur has not hesitated to espouse openly the cause of those who have been belying the quintessence of Christ's teachings, by the nefarious plotting of clandestine outrage. The white settler in Kenya is playing double; abroad he simulates a tender solicitude for the native, while at home he is verily the most oppressive and cruel of taskmasters."
SLEEVELESS SWEATERS ARE FASHIONABLE
The sleeveless tuxedo sweter is one of the popular knitted garments of the summer and one of the newest models shows plain black with front in a gorgeous blending of Indian colorings. It is knitted in a striped effect, with the stripes blending one into another in a most pleasing manner. Needless to say, it is sheer and light in weight.
WOMEN SUFFRAGISTS IN TURKEY ARE TO MARCH ON ANGORA
CONSTANTINOPLE, July 16.—Turkey's women suffragists, no longer hampered by the veil and harem, are arriving here preparatory to a march upon Angora when the Nationalist Assembly opens.
The woman's movement in Turkey is similar to that fostered in the United States by the National Woman's Party.
Like the American movement, the Turkish suffragists are well organized, though not of the militant type. They have not advanced women for public office—yet. However, women frequently have received complimentary votes, particularly the leaders of the feminist campaign.
Chief among the leaders is Lutates Hanoun, wife of Mustapha Kemal, the Turkish Mosae. Among other prominent women who are in the delegation that will invade Angora are, Halides Hanioun, the novelist, and Kara Fatme Hanoun, the national heroine who fought through the war with the Greeks.
She was received today by the Caliph, and his wife welcomed her warmly. Kara Fatme wore her military uniform and was bedecked with medals and decorations.
ETHIOPIA'S EXHORTATION
TO HER CHILDREN
Ye Ethiopians, prophetic race,
Throw off the yoke and take your place
On higher ground, where others stand—
Ye, the bone and sinew of this land.
Come, now, arise! obey God's voice!
His command is forward—oh! rejoice.
Stretch forth your hands, ascend the
hill.
And then push onward farther still.
Inflate your lungs, be strong of heart.
For every soul must play a part;
And then, by God's eternal grace.
Black folks will take their promised place.
Unite! be brave, oh! my dear sons;
With buildog grit stance by your guns
Be not afraid grim death to face—
Then bigots will respect your peace.
Be brave, oh! my dear sons.

Come on! Join the advancing ranks.
Of the U. N. I. A.
It's marching on to victory
And to a better day.
Like shadows foretell noon is nigh.
It presses the light.
That soon will break in splendor rare,
And end the captive's night.
Like moisture changes into clouds,
The wrongs, so long endured.
Aro gathering in wrath—their storm
Will break—be well assured.
The U. N. I. A. will protect
The child who skirts the wave,
Where kinsmen wait, with open arms.
The coming of the brave.
Like cycles mow with certain stroke
The weeds that choke the way,
So wrongs will fall before the might
Of the U. N. I. A.
Nor love of gold, nor thought of power
Taints freedom's splendid host.
The end they seek is liberty,
And God their only boast.
Four hundred millions set like faint
Their face toward the East.
All do not trust the sun that shines
In the oppressor's hand!
Cunelly may light the torch.
Fee you to escape her hand!
March on with the U, N, I, A.
Bound for a freeman's goal!
Rise, glaze, and sail before thy bark.
Wrecks on oppression's hoal!

THE NEGRO'S RISE
The rise of the Negro race in the half century since emancipation has been astonishing. In agriculture, in business, in professional and even artistic fields, their conquest of the obstacles presented by poverty, ignorance, and social prejudice has been tremendous. A colored man may achieve substantial success without arousing any other notice, than the jealousy of white men who have failed, while the misstep of a Negro evokes derisive comments on the worthlessness of the race in general. This is a kind of injustice which feeds Ku Klux Klanism and retards national growth.

FASHION NOTES
Cut of Blouse Makes or Mara Once
Looks
For those who wear blouses and
shirtwaist, the most important point
to remember is that the cut of the
neck line makes or mars the contour
of the face just the right cut forms
a setting for the head.
The same old waist, if it is well cut
and kept fresh, will remain attractive
until it literally drops into nothing.
Ribbon tie, bows, medallions, jabots
of different colors add greatly to the
fresh look of the waist; also add vari-
ety and make one blouse seem many.
Ribbons worn at the neck line should
be carefully chosen to color. Color
worn near the face affects the shade
of the eyes. The right colors brighten,
intensify and beautify the eyes; wrong
colors dull, fade or spoil the coloring
of the eye.
Bridal Gown of Today Can Have Color
Touch
Once upon a time the idea of having the bridal gown anything but all white would have been nothing short of a shocking departure. But the bride of today gives a more alive note to her wedding frock by introducing a clever touch of pastel color along with the white.
It may be a lining of pale blue chiffon, it may be a touch of ecru or flesh, or it may be a panel, lined with pale green. But whatever the mode of introduction, the color is there, and while brides have been "beautiful" from time immemorial, this pastel touch of the bride's favorite color makes her even more so.
TO MISS ETHEL DUNLAP
Ethel. thy verse is with us yet—
He, who would gain a glorious cause
To sacrifice must bend.
And they who lead, history confirms,
Brave martyrs often end.
E'en He, the very Son of God,
Who did the world no wrong;
Because He taught the way to Heaven,
Upon a cross was hung.
Poor Ghandi, in a wretched cell,
Confined, his days doth spend;
Because unto his own he taught
Their slavery to end.
Strange not to us, it seems who saw
Our martyr's pointing light;
But God will free our Garvey yet
Since might to God is right.
And selfish man shall not prevail,
Against a righteous cause;
For righteousness is God indeed,
Base men to Him are straws.
Lo. Curvey's light shall brighten shine.
Where's the Negro dwells?
Of what avail are prison bars
When these, his cause excels?
His voice shall never cease to ring.
His task shall never be lost!
The Red, the Black, and Green shall
And glad we are to hear thy harp.
Proud poet of our land;
Sing forth your songs that urge our soul...
To Africa's precious strand.

By G. EMONEE CARTER
Subject: "The Dews and Mannas of Life."
(Concluded)
When the dew "fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it." Here are associated merci!
The dew and manna fell together beautiful concurrence! How rhythmically it reads! The words distill like the dew, and have the gentle plash of the descending manna. When the dew fell, the manna fell. Sure as the one descent was the other.
It was a dual baptism—a sweep conjunction of refreshing influences. And if we adopt the marginal reading of the R. V., the association is still more clearly marked: "When the dew fell, the mappa fell with it." They fell together. An exquisite illustration of associated mappes. How graciously God often sends daw and manna together in our life! We say, "Troubles never come alone," but do mappes ever come alone? Have you only one mercy to be thankful for? You have had dew—has there been no manna? We give one gift at a time, often with a long interval between the gifts. It seems as if God can hardly give a solitary gift. O, the unspeakable generosity of God! You never know how little mathematical power you have till you endeavor to reckon your mercles. Thanks be to God for the associated mercles of our life! So many things ever coming together. Dew and manna at once! "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits."
VI. "God's Mercles Are Regular."
They are God's mercles. Our every good is heaven-sent. "When the dew fell, the manna fell." Neither sprang out of the earth, they fell from wondrous heights. "Every good gift is from above." This elementary truth we so often forget.
Said the psalmist, "The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places." He did not fix "the lines" himself; he realized that they fell—dropped by God's hard. Beware lest, with everfalling blessings, we fall to thankfulness.
But how often did these bestowments come? "In the night." Was that one night in a while? No: It was every night, except the night of the Sabbath (so far as the manna was concerned), and there was a double supply on the day previous. Every night the dew and magna fell. Astonishing is the regularity of God's miracles. Joseph declared them to be "new every morning." Harvest comes every year. God's constancy is the miracle of miracles. Truly, as St. James avows, there is "no variability" with Him. God is to one thing constant ever. "His mercy endures forever." Take head lest the secret monotony of God's goodness lead you to esteem it as a common thing. Be careful to render special thanks for ordinary benefits. VII. God's Mercies Do Not Absolve Man from His Duty.
In all matters we are "workers together with God." God sends the dew, but only that we may utilize the ground. He thus prepares for us. God sends the manna, but it is not to be eaten just as it falls; the grains—each one, as Matthew Henry says, "like an Orient pearl"—have to be ground and baked into cakes. God's gifts must be improved by man. Always remember

Gods generosity is not for the encouragement of our indolence. We recognize this in the natural world and we act on it. But I fear, we do not realize and apply it in the spiritual world. Grace is to be improved. Talents are to be framed with. What are you making of the bountiful spiritual blessings our heavenly Lord delights to dispense?
VIII. It but Remains to Add that Dew and Manna Are Typical Gifts. They are typical in two respects: 1. In the case before us the season of their bestowment is full of parabolic suggestiveness. When did these blessings fall? "In the night." How frequently night brings us our best booze! In the night of sorrow, of disappointment, of temptation, most pleniously the dew and the manna fall. Spiritual benedictions are often richest in darkest hours.
2. Bible readers know that dew and manna are both typical in their nature. "I will be as the dew unto Israel." is God's promise by Hosea. Dew is symbol of grace. Is the rich, refreshing dew descending on thy soul? Do you give thanks the dew of Hermon? O that grace, copious as an eastern dewfall, may renew our spirits, Manna, too, is typical. In the sixth chapter of John's great gospel Christ sets Himself in opposition to the manna. He is the greater manna. "Our fathers diat manna in the desert, as it is written. He gave them bread from heaven to cat." But Jesus is "the bread of God." He "cometh down from God and giveth life to the world." He said, "I am the bread of life; he that cometh to Me shall never hunger." Do you marvel the people crief. "Lord, evermore give us this bread?" "Belleve and thou hast eaten." grandly said Augustine.
Jesus is both dew and manna. He is all in all. Our deepest and most clamant needs are satisfied in the sinner's friend.
So we and a gospel even in Numbers. We meet Jesus in the desert. Truly Christ is the light of all Scripture. From no book of the Bible is He absent. If we believe Moses we must believe Him. O supreme expositor, show us out of the Scriptures the things concerning Thyself!

PHILADELPHIA DIVISION PLANS A VIGOROUS DRIVE FOR MEMBERSHIP. WHICH WILL BE LAUNCHED SOON
The Philadelphia Division is getting ready to launch a drive for membership. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is to be put clean over the ton, and, without hostility, this is the time, and Philadelphia (because of the change of certain conditions due to the influx of the Negroes from the Southland) is the place to start a campaign such as Dr. Lionel A. Francis, president, and his able and worthy assistants, Mr. Simpson, executive secretary, and Miss Muzie King, financial secretary, are planning. Special notice should be taken of the contribution to the upkeep of the spirit of an Embancated Race, morally and financially, that we are manifesting at this period of the game. We feel safe in saying that no division is more willing, including the New York Local, to at any time, anywhere, rally to the parent body if needs be than is our branch. There are 225,000 Negroes in Philadelphia, and many are not alive to the principles of this great cause. Since every day brings us nearer the goal, every day should bring added membership, that we on that grand and glorious day of rejoicing might, 400,000,000 strong, march with firmer tread, united to the man. We see families uniting now that were separated for
Notice to Norfolk Division!
Notice to Norfolk Division!
In last week's issue of the Negro World, it was stated that the office of President in the Norfolk, Va. Division was declared vacant by the U.S. government. We hog to state that this was an error. The facts are: Mr. H. B. Franklin expressed to the Parent Body his intention of resigning on July 5, 1923. Later, the Parent Body instructed him to resign, and order the Parent Body to resign for President, July 26. Further, Mr. Franklin was instructed not to sign any company office in the division until further notice from the Parent Body, is due to an unwillingness on the part of Mr. Franklin to cooperate with the Parent Body, Mr. Franklin is no longer the president of the Norfolk Division.

years. We see the Turks winning their aims because they perish. We hear of the Irish Free State after 700 years of praying, begging and fighting. England is stepping out without any thought of France, her recent ally and friend. In short, we see races everywhere getting together, working together, planning together, preparing together for the next great conflict. Do you see it coming? Some of us do! But the Negro is going back to sleep. Wake up, Negroes. "Throw off that lethargy! We have slept long enough—over 300 years. Do you want to die sleeping? John the U. N. I. A.! Help save Africa! Watch us in Philadelphia, as we set the example for you to follow.
Co-operation an Asset
Dr. Francis admits that, his success in handling large groups, of people is due to the fact that he co-operates with them. Give the people a voice in their own governments, says Lloyd George. To be a good leader watch Lloyd George, says Francis. Mr. Simpson has done much (and is appreciated for having done) to cause the organization, to be where it is, said the president to him.
But are his duties not limited? he was asked. In this division we have no bounds or limitations; we co-operate to the extent of our ability, was the answer. How about that little Miss King? was the next question. She seems to be quite a worker. Who, Mazle King? was the curt reply. I would not give her finger for ten others in this and other branches. Those who care to know the secret of successful Negro organization are invited to visit our division. We take care of our sick through the retention of a licensed physician and our Black nurses he.p. Our legal aid department has saved many members from a jail sentence. These are other valuable points which should cause you, to link with us. Negroes in Philadelphia, wake up! See, hear, understand and then join us. 1810 South Street. REPORTER
MEMBERS OF N. Y. LOCAL VISIT JERSEY CITY
MEMBERS OF N. Y. LOCAL VISIT JERSEY CITY
On Sunday, June 15, we had a visit from a few members of the New York local, to whom we accorded a cordial reception. At 4 p.m. we opened the meeting with the singing of "Greenland's Ice Mountains," followed by prayer. The president, Mr. Williams, delivered an encouraging address on the present condition of the association and the race in general and exhorted the members to stand firm, as we were passing through a period of test.
The President then introduced Brothers McLean and Valentine, visiting members from the New York Local. Brother Valentine in the course of his address referred to the incarceration of the President-General. He made us stand firm, "to hold on to that which is good and acquit ourselves like men. Brother Valentine compared the U.' N. I. A. & A. C. L. to a seaworthy ship, meeting a great storm blowing 1923 knots per hour. The conscious, sinceré and strong-kneed captain said to the officers: "Keep her on the true course at any cost, don't slow her up, her machinery and compartments are 100 per cent genuine. Should any of the crew fall sick or desert their posts, get a man from within the crew and stop the gap, but keep on the true African route."
Brother Valentine told us how a Japanese crew stood by their post while their ship was going down and the band was playing the National anthem. They died for a cause. And we must also be prepared to die for Our cause.
We shall continue our bloodless agitation, by righteous propaganda, for the redemption of our Motherland, Africa, and our Tri-color shall never trail in the dust "under fire." Brethren, broadside we face the enemy; stand by your post; keep good steam, so the light will continue to shine, for the shot that struck the cruiser has not even pierced her armor plates and she has double steel plates from deck to hull. Mr. Valentine asked that we enroll new members, sustain the defense fund, scad in monthly financial reports and sign the petition. The speaker's appeal for the defense fund was well received and the response financially was good.
Mr. McLean also delivered an, inspiring address, which was well received by the audience. The, President, in his closing remarks, expressed his appreciation and thanks for the timely visit of Merrill McLean and Valentine, and, complimented the visitors on the splendid addresses delivered by them.
The meeting was closed*with prayer
and the singing of the doxology.
The Newark Division, supported by the much esteemed, Warren Kemp, is taking a fresh hold on the principles, aims and objects of this great and noble organization founded by Negroes for Negroes and led by the greatest Negro of the day.
It has been the aim and sole purpose of the officers and members of the Newark Division to prove to the enemies of Negro freedom in and around Newark that they have another thought counter to if they are under the impression that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is doomed to die because of the imprisonment of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. We mean to prove to all who think so that the organization is going to live as long as Negroes suffer segregation, discrimination and lynchings, and are without a government of their own. We are spreading the propaganda throughout the entire city, and such is our success that many of the doubling ones are enrolling.
Sunday, July 15, will go down in the history of Newark division as the day in which all of the ministers who could possibly get to the hall came along with a few friends and made spirited protest for justice on behalf of the Hon. Marcus Carvey. In the evening session the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Berry and the granddaughter of Mrs. Emma Brown, the lady-president, was brought forward nectaring on the Red, the Black and the Green, and carried by Mrs. Harriet Fin. The baby was consecrated to the sacred cause by the Rev. Clark, our beloved chaplain, and dedicated to African redemption by the parents. Newark sends greetings to all divisions.
WILLIAM H. HAWKINS.
MERIGOLD DIVISION'S MERITORIOUS WORK
Permit me space to let the world know that we are still on the map working for the uplift and the redeemment of our motherland, Africa. We are not a bit bothered or discouraged by the imprisonment of our great leader, but we are more determined than ever. We were blessed with the opportunity of having with us Hon. S. V. Robinson, our State commissioner, on July 20-23. We were, indeed, proud to have him. He brought to us a real message, advising us to organize and stand together. Our membership has increased 50 per cent. We raised $34.70 for the defense fund, also $12.05 for the Black Cross Nurses on their entertainment. We pray both day and night for deliverance of our honorable president from the Tombs.
MONTREAL NOTES
Renewed Interest Evinced in Local Affairs Is Astonishing Literary Club Holds Entertaining Meet-
Led by Mr. J. Mills, the celebrated pianist, the U. N. I. A. orchestra has made momentous strides during the last three months. Every Sunday marks the progress of their persistent work and determination in realizing their dreams. The orchestra deserves the compliments of the division, for in no other department of U. N. I. A. activity has such absorbing interest been shown. The personnel of the orchestra is as follows: Mr. Mills, pianist; Mr. F. Diggs, cellist; Messrs. Dyall and Davis, violinists; Mr. Tucker, clarionettist; Mr. I. Scaley, saxophonist.
A representative gathering assembled in the U. N. I. A. hall on July 17, 1314 Chatham street. Mr. William Trett, assistant chaplain, occupied the chair, and in his unique manner expounded the principles of the association.
There were several speakers. Among the prominent figures were Messra Ramsay, Chambers, Russel, Potter, Marshallleek, and Mrs. O'Brien. The president made a strong appeal for contributions to the Garvey Defense Fund, to which the members quickly responded. The meeting adjourned at 6 P. M.
The Literary Club
The Literary Club has been actively engaged in arranging the annual syllabus. Headed by a recently elected efficient executive, the club has already scored pronounced success in its literary output. The ladies are making a remarkable showing.
Last Tuesday was observed as "ladies' evening." A splendid program was rendered as follows:
Mrs. Clark; recitation; Mrs. Clara Deshield; piano solo and recitation; Mrs. W. Marshall; vocal solo; Miss Turner; address on "Comparative Poetry"; Miss Hall; piano solo; Miss Carter; address on "Paul Laurence Dunbar." Mr. Reddie rendered the journalist report and Mr. Trott acted as critic; Miss Annie Deshield occupied the chair. Refreshments were served at the close of the program. Next week Dr. Wills will lecture on "Hygiene." Dr. Chappe will deliver a lecture in the near future.
The Colored Political Club, of which Mr. Dean Thwaites is president, held a mass meeting on July 14 in the N. I. A. hall. The meeting was a triumphant success. The president was fortunate in securing the entire membership of the Woman's Club as members of his own club. Wedding Bells A pretty house wedding took place at 2 o'clock on Sunday afternoon at
MA. In the bishop's regalia, when Miss Gibson, of Malibu, was married to Mr. Simpson, of Marion, B. W. L. Tibbler reception was given last night. It was unique. The bride is a devout supporter of local activities. Mr. Simpson is well known and popular among a large circle of friends. May their lives be abundantly blessed.
BAXLEY DIVISION-ASK
SPECIAL DAY FOR PRAYERS
On Sunday afternoon, July 15, we assembled at the First Missionary African Baptist Church, Baxley, GI, and had a protest meeting against the injustice that has been done to our great leader, Marcus Garvey. A report went out that we were not going to be allowed to meet, and on this account the crowd was small. We made sure of two hundred signatures to the petition, and a small donation was given. I have not as yet forwarded the donation to the Relief Committee, because it is not at all what I desire it to be. Therefore, I am still asking for donations, and hope that we will be able to send in our bit in a few days.
Please, ank, through your, columns,
for a special day for prayer in behalf
of our great and good leader that he
may be brought safely from the
Tombs as Daniel was brought from
the lions' den, and as safely as the
three Hebrew boys were delivered
from the flames of the fiery furnace.
GARVEY'S NAME WILL ENDURE
Jonathan Mitchell, president, Heredias Division, Cuba, writes: "Earth as a garden has many plants, free shrubs, etc. Some are fit for food, others for medicine, and still others without any definite use, yet they help to beautify the world with flowers and green leaves and glorify their God with their fragrance.
"There are on earth the inferior and the superior animals, the latter being known as man, the first as the wild animals of the field; these live according to their kind and are used for different purposes as the plants. They all live without the institution of malice or envy one with the other."
"We come to the super being 'man. It is said by the poet that every prospect pleases God, but only 'man' is vile; 'man' from the early days of earth has always been the 'king of evil' and has stretched out his right hand in fellowship to all the evil things of the world.
"Bible readers and students know well that it was malicious envy that overruled the heart of Cain that caused him to stay his brother Abel. It was the grime envy which caused the suffering of the man of sorrows, which was the Christ. It was that malicious feeling that so conquered the hearts of his Jewish brethren that even when Pilate could not find him guilty of crime they cried in low tones, "Crucify him, crucify him."
"There are evilers today as in the days of Christ."
"The Negroes of the world today are quite sensible to 'know that the blow dealt to Marcuus Garvey was not dealt him merely because he was Marcuus Garvey, but because he represents a people who the selfish world thinks should not rise. It was dealt because he way vested in honor to be our leader, our Ethiopian law-giver and African redeemer. If he had put down his task for the fight for Africa neither Duibok, Dickens nor Dohman would have Marcuus Garvey, tell it was for the cause, oh! yes, to nullify the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, Marcuus Garvey the head was aimed at. Can Garvey's imprisonment stop the Negroes from freeing Africa? Will Garvey's imprisonment blot his name out of the minds of Negroes? The man or woman who thinks so is thereby fooled. The name of the 'man' we honor and love will be for ages to come and unto generations unborn cherished."

HAS GRAND PARADE
The Universal Negro Improvement Association is proving conclusively that it has come to stay until the race is uplifted and the motherland is redeemed.
The Fort Smith Division recently organised, had its first parade and it was a huge success. The prescension was headed by the Van Buren Ark.) Band, while the "Star and Stripes" along with our own Red, Black and Green was proudly displayed. The line of march was as follows: South to Garrison avenue and Tenth street, then to Garrison Third, back to Ninth and Garrison, thence to the American Legion Hall. As the procession moved steadily on it was received with hearty cheers from both white and colored people. At 5.30 o'clock the unveiling of the charter was solemnly carried out and will live long in the memories of those who witnessed it. The officers are:
A. C. Lurk, president; W. S. Whitney, first vice-president; Emma McCary, general secretary; Mack Ross, executive secretary; George Warden, treasurer; Maggie Ross, lady president.
PUERTO BARRIOS DIVISION EXPRESS THEIR SYMPATHY
PUERTO BARRIOS DIVISION EXPRESS THEIR SYMPATHY
We the officers and members of Division No. 34, Puert Barrios, Guatemala, beg to send you our united sympathy, asking you not to be at any moment discouraged. We know and feel the amount of sacrifices which you have made and are still making, and we also feel that all you are expecting of us is to keep together and put the program over, even if your absence from direct control be for the amount of years which it seems that to this date fate or might have condoned you to silence. There are still a few of us who will never lay down our banner until we see it wasing in triumph over the enemies. Our heart go out to you, words are not sufficient to explain our direct feelings over what we see and feel to be a travesty of justice, and it makes us feel that man tramples on his brother man, but God is ever sure that the great United States of America will not allow herself to be so disgraced as to show to the world that instead of law and justice the ruling in her broad domain she is only led by sentiment.
Our people here know full well that you are not discouraged, rare as the enemy may. As long as we will do our best you will have your satisfaction, for all have been made to suffer for the redemption of a race. We are with you through thick and thin and hope also to be with you when our objective is reached.
Our sympathy goes to Mrs. Caryy and pray that the Great Jehovah will guard and keep her safely and bravely through this time of trouble.

Most Subscribe Now to Test Whether the
Male Man Can Obtain Justice
As was to be expected, Marcus Garvey has been found guilty by a jury of white men of using the United States mails to defraud. Many believe that the charge was only a sham to get Garvey with the hope of destroying his work. The whole thing seems to be made up of an international plot which will shortly expose itself. Negro men and organizations have been parties to what was argued as a "frame-up," but Truth shall have a hearing. All appeal must be taken to the highest courts of the land to further test justice; therefore, every Negro of loyalty and manhood is asked to subscribe to this fund.
The fight for Africa's liberty is just begun; let us all help. Send in your subscription addressed to the Secretary, Marcus Garvey Release Committee, 56 West 135th Street, New York City, N. Y.

GETTING MARRIED EXPERIENCES OF
A friend—a clergyman, one who has tied many knots in his time—relates the following experiences among others which he has had in marrying people: The language of the Prayer Book is a trifle old-fashioned, you see, and an humble life there is a belief that it is unhucky to read the marriage service beforehand. So—"And therefore I plight the myth is the worst stumbling block. The bridgement has to say that, and quite apart from the fact that it is a bit of a tongue-twister even when said correctly "plight" and "troth" are words quite outside the vocabulary—and sometimes the comprehension—of a good many people.
A longhorman—an absolute fact this—smacked out. "And there two I'll fight for both!" He told me afterwards that it "sounded like that," and in a sense he was right!

THE INDISPENSABLE WEEKLY
Marius Garvey a few months ago made the prediction in the columns of The Nugget Times that George Harris' political days were numbered and that he would not continue as Alderman for the Married colon district much longer. The prediction has come true, and Harris, who will always be remembered as one of the "infamous eight," will remain in the political cellapse that has over-shadowed him—an obscurity from which Re will never emerge.
At a meeting of the Colored Republican Captains' Club of the 21st A. D. held during the past week, a resolution was adopted at the direction of C. W. B. Nutchel, president, indorsing the candidacy of Dr. H. O. Harding for Alderman and John T. McNeil for Assemblyman.
The resolution stated that the selection of both candidates was the work of the captains, and that such action was in accord with the wishes of the majority of the enrolled Republicans of the district. The captains also pledged themselves to support both candidates and work for their nomination and election.
Prior to the adoption of the resolution it was pointed out that for the first time, in the history of the Republican organization colored members of the County Committee had been requested to indicate their views as to the most desirable candidate. The recommendation of Dr. Harding for Aldorman was presented to the entire County Committee of the district at an unofficial convention, and his candidacy was ratified, it was claimed, without one dissenting vote.
The candidacy of John T. McNeil for the Assembly was also the unanimous choice of both organizations of the 21st A. D.
quite an ordinary variation. One bridegroom—a dock laborer—snapped out as puzzled. "What's that, parsen?" when I had burden him say the words, and then when I had repeated them slowly and distinctly he initiated my voice to the life, and added, on his own, "Ty puten my neck in summat now, I bet."
Another bridegroom, who ought to have known better, said solemnly "And there, too, I plight the my troth." He looked at the bride most lovingly, too, as he said it.
"According to God's holy ordinance" may, to you, be quite understandable, but "ordinance" is not a word that humble folk use or hear except during a wedding service, so "holy ordinance" invariably becomes "holy as it is"—when it isn't "ordinance."
My experience is that the average bridegroom is so nervous that his wife depart. For instance, it was but the other week that I said to a pale-faced young man, "Say after me, please—and before I could proceed to tell him what to say I, John Alfred Brown, take thee, Mary Smith, to be my wedded wife, etc.) he intervened too early and too legally with "After me, please." I had a job to remain solenma, "Till death us do pard," has been more than once varied to "Till death us depart," and even that simple "I will" has to be varied to "yes," "Till do it" etc. To a tongue-broomed bridegroom who made no reply at all I said, "Will you say 'I will' please," and it made his bride sing—he quaveringly complied with "I will" please. He still has his big pulled about that pathetic "please."
WEDDING BELLS
A pretty little wedding was solenized at Ingenio, Rio Canto, Cuba, on Sunday, July 8, 1922, when Mr. Joseph Dalley, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Dalley, of the Parish of Hanova, Jamaica, B. W. I., married Miss Mary Carr, oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eustace Carr, also of Hanova. Both bride and groom are loyal members of the U. N. L. A. The bride wore a richly made dress of crope dehline, and was given away by Mr. Samuel Samsad. The ceremony was performed by Judge Jose Fernandez. The event took place in Liberty Hall, at 3:30 p.m.
LIKE PYTHIAS HE WOULD BE WILLING TO GO TO PRISON IN PLACE OF HIS LEADER SO HE COULD CARRY ON HIS LIFE'S WORK
Editor Negro World, Sir-You will agree with me when I say that we are engaged in a great work to bring freedom, liberty and justice to our race and country and we ought to feel prouder to-day of our condition than ever before, for to-day we have a view of what we want and what we must have. Herefore we didn't know what we wanted, and therefore, we did not seek for it, and they all told us that it wasn't any use, but our President-General and the Provisional President of Africa saw the needs through the burd of God of the Negroes all over the world. Yet knowing the task that it would take to bring the Negroes together and make them a nation, he took upon his shoulders a work for Negroes that no other man, black or white, would attempt.
This man, Marcus Garvey, in 1914 in Jamaica, either by himself or with the help of a few others, drew up a constitution for Negroes which would be our guide in an organization that was to be world-wide, and when he came to the United States we helped him to frame more laws. When he started he stood in New York on boxes and preached the Universal Negro Improvement Association with only thirteen followers, but he continued to preach until now he has over 6,000,000 members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. At the same time, while getting a goodly number of work with him, he picked up also his enemy. This rounds me of Jesus Christ when He was in the world. He met only a few followers with Him, and among that few to begin with. He picked up His enemy and His enemy followed Him until death and betrayed Him. Marcus Garvey did likewise; he picked up his enemy.
Anguis in Herba
When Garvey started with the Negro Improvement Association a few called wise Negroes saw that he had an organization that was worth while therefore they came to him with desuit, for they were friends just like a snake. No doubt Mr. Garvey talked with them on some facts, but upon the facts that he gave them they had him to know that they were going to strap by him no matter what happened. And when they began to get warm they too commenced to crawl and stretch themselves to determine whether or not they were sufficiently warm enough or able to do the evil that they desired to do. They have followed him, they have done everything that they could do to him, shot him, tried to bespoke his character, tried to break down his energy and his power and his move with which he was to bring about liberty and freedom for the Negro race and have continued with him until today they have called him to be in the Tombs. And they think that because they have him in the Tombs the Negro Improvement Association will get work and therefore go toough. But I am saying that the end of the Negro Improvement Association than weaker. It is stronger today than ever before. Garvey is not the only one that has to go to the Tombs for prison for everything or any form, for there are thousands and thousands that have to suffer like ourselves. Today, if I could, and they would grant it to me, I would leave Pittsburgh, go to New York and take the place of Mr. Garvey in the Tombs and stay in prison for the years or longer if necessary and let him take my place and give to the world the thing that he desires to give to the people. But since I cannot, I am raising to stay out here and for my bit, wud if it is necessary for me on account of the truth to go to the Tombs or any other place of punishment I am willing to go just as he has done. Mr. Garvey made a statement through the Negro World on July 7 in the fourth paragraph saying that the enemy is still at work to discourage you. I agree that that is true.

NOTICE Extraordinary!
To the Members and Friends of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
It has come to our knowledge that unscrupulous persons have been circulating among our membership application blanks to subscribe to stock in an alleged Liberian Development or Exploration movement. Please be warned that we know nothing about the matter, and that it is apparent that a list of the membership of our organization has been stolen from the office. Look out for all new circulars and letters sent by persons asking you to buy stock in such enterprises as Exploration Companies and steamship enterprises.
UNIVERSAL NEGRO, IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION
but there are some Negroes in the Negro Improvement Association that no one can discourage, though hell, itself will come upon them, for I myself have no fear at all.
So I would like to have him know that some of us know that the enemy is more at work now than ever before. The enemy is trying to sneak upon you in every hand, he will come to Liberty Hall to hear what you have to say. He hasn't got nerve enough to talk, will meet you on the street or come to your home or at your work place and take advantage of you if you are weak enough to let him do so.
Hon. Marcus Garvey is asking us to be loyal, for he says we can do him more good by being so than we can in any other way. Now in doing this we will have to obey the laws which are laid down for us. It is being sold throughout the country that some of the laws ought to be changed, but I want to tell you that whether the laws be changed or not they are there, and we should go by them, and stop fighting each other and these laws and get together other get strength so we can gain ground enough so that we can say we are on the solid. Then, after we do this, we can take the wrong and make it right, and put it with the right
that we have already, and I will make us a stronger and better sample. At present, we have no time to fight the constitution of the Universal Negro Improvement Asso. Therefore I am offering a resolution that if think should be paid to this noted man, Marcus Garvey, for his work and, for his service that he has rendered and is rendering now, as I only know of one that did what he is doing now, and that I, Jesus Christ Himself.

RISING OF THE BLACK CLOUD AND WHAT IT PORTENDS DEDUCED FROM A STUDY OF THE SCRIPTURE
Garvey Depicted as the Watchman in Nebuchadnezzar's Dream and the Writer Proceeds to Give His Interpretation of the Vision
God's appearance in the earth came in 1914. When God, revealed the vision to gather the black people of the world in one great body and prepare for a kingdom of their own, as of ancient days.
He is on time, according to the 25th chapter of Leviticus, 8th to 11th verse. The 8th verse reads thus: "And thou shall number seven Sabbaths of years into thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven Sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years."
What shall we say then? In He on time? Yes, the seven times seven years, from 1863—the years of the emancipation of slavery to the year 1914, the beginning of the Hon. Marcus Garvey'sounding throughout the West Indies.
Cry of the Voice for Liberty
Gry of the Voice for Liberty
Thus reads the 9th verse: "Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land." Tenth verse: "And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout all the land; unto all the inhabitants thereof; it shall be a jubilee unto you, and ye shall return, every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family. A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto you."
Yes. Indeed. It was a day of jubilee unto the Garveyites to hear the voice of Garvey crying "Liberty." And we shall cry like infants for liberty, until the Hell Angels turn loose.
We see Garvey as the second Moses, with the rod of power, when Moses was before Pharaoh in the contest with the power of God and the devil. When Aaron cast his rod before Pharaoh, his rod became a serpent; then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers, now the magicians of Egypt; they also in like manner came with their instruments, for they cast down every man his rod, and they also became rerpes.
But Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods. So we see Garvey with his rod in the form of the U. N. I. A. We realize all the rods are before Pharaoh which represents the Governments who see
Signs of the Time
We see Garvey in the interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar's dream. Daniel fourth chapter. We see him as the holy watchman, that he saw in his dream crying, "hew down the tree." We see the free as the unjust power of humanity. Garvey in 1914 came out on the sea of time, crying, justice must come to 400,000,000 Negroes of the world.
At that time, the axe began to how down the tree, which was the world war; he also saw the fair leaves and much fruit of that great tree, yes, we saw it, too; the leaves were white men, who fell on the battlefields of France, until the white man took back what he said at the beginning of the war, that it was a white man's war
And we saw the fruit of that great tree, which was money; it fell during the war as it never fell before. We also witness the fall of the great tree on the eleventh hour, the eleventh day, and the eleventh month of 1915. The whole world heard the noise of that great tree. He also saw the stump left with a hand of iron; we know that iron is black; and, also a brass band was left, we know that brass is yellow. Open your blind eyes, we blind men of the Negro race, and know what the two hands meant to us.
Prince shall come out of Egypt: Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hand unto God'—which means power. This is why the white man and the cat-paw Negroes are so stirred up about the U.N.I.A., because it is that black cloud rising, which we have never seen. We have never seen danger in a white cloud, but when the black clouds arise, every living creature looks for shelter. The same in war, with the white man, as long as they are in front, there is no victory, but when the black man fronts the little victory comes.
From the New Testament
John the Revelator, saw Marus Garvey, with a great chain to bind Satin for a thousand years, and the U.N.I.A., being the chain came and bound the white man on the outside and his shoot-shiners with him. That is why he is so distressed, that is why Garvey is in prison, but let time roll on, the power of God will win.
We see the E. N. L. A as the kingdom that Jesus taught us to pray for "Our Father. Who art in Heaven hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come." And it has truly come as we prayed, but because it did not come through a white man, some of our people do not desire, "He came unto His own and His own received Him not." The same people that prosecuted and crucified Jesus for a just cause, which, the Elders and Scribes of the Gentile powers, they are the same people to-day, who prosecuted Marcus Garvey, and are trying to crucify the movement.
They did not know John the Baptist, as they did not know Marcus Garvey, so they wanted to know what authority he had to prepare a kingdom. The same applies to-day in regard to the Son. Marcus Garvey,
what constituted authority has he to prepare a government for his people? As they prosecuted John the Baptist, not knowing that it was the will of God for him to prepare the people for a kingdom, the same as with Garvey, to-day, they think they are prosecuting Garvey, but let time roll on, time will prove the truth.

SITUATION AT TUSKEGEE
By DR. E. A. ABBOTT
The situation at Tuskegee is no more a local question or race issue. It has become a national problem which must be solved, and solved soon, by the United States Government, as the "Invisible Empire" has already undertaken to solve the problem by trying to bluff the government and intimidate the race.
"The blame for this regrettable affair must be laid at the feet of the principal of Tuskegee Institute, who offered the ground for the present hospital "Major" Morton knew very well that the South was no place for such a hospital. And what's more, it has been proven that Mr. Morton promised the white folks a white personnel in getting their consent for the hospital.
The white folks of the South claim that the Negro is an inferior being; and, therefore, unworthy of and unwitt for "social equality"—whatever that is.
The Negro wants to be left alone in order to "work but his own salvation!" This social equality bugbear does not interest him. "All he asks is a chance an opportunity to make good—equal rights which are guaranteed him as an American citizen under the Constitution."
Hospital Superfluous
In the first place, there should be no colored veterans' hospital, for our boys fought nobly and well, side by side with their white comrades to make America safe for "democracy." Democracy knows no limitations because of race, color or creed. The colored veterans should have been admitted to the various veterans' hospitals with their white "brothers in arms," with the same equality they were admitted to the United States army. Our boys moved, not inferior, but superior fighters in the war for democracy. Why should they, broken in health and strength, disabled, fighting for "democracy," be given an inferior democracy at this time? But we have a Jim Crow hospital for our Jim Crow, disabled veterans, and I suppose we will have to be satisfied! But we will never be satisfied with a white personnel! We have thoroughly prepared and well qualified physicians, surgeons, dentists, pharmacists and graduate nurses of our own race who are willing and ready to take charge of Tuskegee and do their best for their disabled black brothers.
Can the proud, haughty, arrogant, Anglo-Saxon do for the disabled Negro soldier what his own race could and would do for him?
Then why should the Southern gentleman and lady insist on taking care of him?
Why All This Fuss?
Is it not a fact that Southern white folks advocate and practice segregation and Jim Crowism? Is it not a fact that right in the State of Alabama there is a law that prohibits white nurses from nursing Negro patients?
Well, then! If this is the attitude of the white folks in Alabama toward the Negro, why in the name of conscience are they raising such a pumps about Negroes manning a hospital built for Negroes?
The white South is not true to its "social ideals." They do not practice what they preach. They ought to be ashamed of themselves, making such a fight to nurse and handle black folks. For white doctors and nurses to attend and nurse colored, patients in a strictly colored hospital is surely practicing "social equality," as the social contact between doctor and nurse on the one hand and patient on the other can not be avoided.
We demand as an integral part of our government, that the United States Government main the hospital of Turkegee from top to bottom, with an entire Negro personnel), or turn the hospital entirely over to the white folks, and rather make room for the disabled Negro veterans in the various veterans' hospitals throughout the country, or build another hospital for them in some other part of the country more friendly to our race.
FIRPO AND WEINERT
Luis Firpe the demon South American, who is at present engaged in the pleasant pastime of rocking to sleep a lot of second and third raters, has been matched to meet Charlie Weintner of Newark in the main event of eight rounds at the National League Baseball Park in Philadelphia on the right of August 13.
THE NEGRO IN POLITICS
The Negro race, acting as a unit in politics, is a detriment to its own progress and the progress of the political party it espouses. The thing for the Negro to do is to get out of politics as a body, and vote for man and measure regardless of partisanship. The Negro
The Negro should quit voting as a race and for special favors. He must take a broader view of politics, and submerge racial demands into the demands for the common good of all the people. When the Negro does that; when he works for his community regardless of race or color, then he will begin to take a stand as a citizen and be able to wield an influence of substantial proportions.

will never be able to put over special legislation as a race issue. It will have to find its destiny in, and seek what ever relief rightly belongs to it, through one of the old parties. In some counties, in some States it may be to the best interest of the community for the Negro to vote the Republican ticket; in others it will probably be for the public good to support the Democratic ticket.

Three men are convicted, two white and one black. One white man was convicted on July 15, 1923, in Brooklyn, New York, for fraud to the extent of $610,000. He was found guilty on thirty-four counts, each count carrying a penalty of five years each and a fine of $5,000, making an aggregate sentence of 170 years and $170,000 in fines. After the jury returned the verdict of "guilty," this man was given bail in the amount of $15,000 to appear for sentence. When he was sentenced a few days after, he was given two years and fined $2,000 with bail on appeal. His crime was committing fraud on a bank in which thousands of people placed their savings.
The other white man, a minister of the Gospel, was co-Colorado, on July 25, 1923, on two counts, for forging permits to rich residents of his city. The penalty for the crime on years' imprisonment, and a fine of not more than $10,000. July he was sentenced to two years in Federal Prison for concurrently, without any fine. He was released on bail appeal. This was an unnecessary and unusual crime at individual.
The black man, Marcus Garvey, was framed-up and trick of prejudice, in New York, for the alleged use of the mal sale of stock to help his race start a steamship Limo for 1 commercial improvement. All the money collected was spent of the company that bought three ships. The case lasted It could not be shown where Garvey got one penny of the for his personal use, but on the contrary he was the largest loser in the unfortunate failure of the concern wiles of his enemies. He was indicted on eleven counts of one count on the 18th of June, in an atmosphere of pre penalty on the one count was a fine of $1,000 or five years, or none. After conviction before sentence, he applied for bail pending sentence. His application was denied. When brought for sentence, three days after, he was given the maximum of five years and a fine of $1,000. Application for bail pending appeal was denied. He is still in jail. Three other applications for bail were made and all denied.
We have three cases, one a bank commercial fraud for personal gain; one an unnecessary and unusual violation of law; the other the effort to help a race by an experiment, in fact, that teaches self-help and self-reliance. The first two are given the fullest opportunity to prove their innocence; the latter, unfortunately, a black man, in a white country is deprived of every opportunity of proving his innocence and especially that he tried his own case as counsel.

Priest Convicted of Forging Permit to Get Rum For Rich Parishioners
DENVER, Col., July 25. The Rev Walter A. Grace, pastor of a Catholic church at Arvada, a suburb, tried in United States District Court on charges of forging a permit for an application to ship liquor into Colorado, was found guilty today. The jury degrated only ten minutes. "The judgments of God are not those of men," was Father Grace's only statement when the verdict was announced. The defense filed motions for new trial and arrest of judgment. The court is to rule on these Saturday. The penalty for forging liquor permits is one to five years' imprisonment and not more than $10,000 fine.
The Rev. Walter A. Grace was accused of obtaining fifteen barrels of old bottled in bond Early Times whiskey, ostensibly for the Mullen Home for the Aged, but actually for his friends.
Father Grace was pastor of one of Denver's show places, the Shrine of St. Anne, and he was deeply indebted to a number of prominent citizens for aid in building it. Prohibition agents alleged he forged the name of the Mother Superior of the Mullen Home to a permit for withholding whiskey and later altered the permit to calling for one barrel it carried for fifteen.
It was charged also that the priest obtained the money to finance the deal
from one of his parishoners. Mrs. Katherine O'Connor, daughter of the millionaire for whom the home was named. It was asserted Father Grace got the money by telling Mrs. O'Connor how much occasional toddlers would be relished by the old men at the home. But very little, if any, of the liquor got to the home, it is said. Mrs. O'Connor also is accused of conspiracy to violate the Volstead act, but is to have a separate trial.
Priest in Rum Case Gets 2 Years in Jail
DENVER, July 26. — Father Walter A. Grace, Arvada priest, was sentenced to two years in Federal prison on each of two counts for forgery of application for liquor permits this afternoon. The sentences are to run concurrently.
He was granted a sixty-day stay of execution pending appeal to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals and bond was fixed at $5,000. The priest spent last night in jail.
STILL ANOTHER CASE
But still there is another case recently disposed of that makes interesting reading. Dr. Edward A. Rumely, B. Walter Kaufman and Norman R. Lindheim, all white men, were convicted and sentenced in December of 1928, to one year and a day at Atlanta Federal prison for conspiracy to defraud the United States Government. They were immediately granted ball on appeal in the amount of $10,000 each. Their appeal was heard and decided on July 27, 1923. Their conviction was upheld, but they will appeal to the United States Supreme Court. Thus against the opportunity has been granted to the convicted persons to prove their innocence. But what of Garvey, Kill, he is a Negro.
