The Negro World

OF THE BLACK RACE TO SEE IT FIVE MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: It is said to be a hard and difficult task to organize and keep together large numbers of our race for the common good. Many have tried to congregate us, but have failed, the reason being that our characteristics are such as to keep us more apart than together. The Evil of Division The evil of internal division is wrecking our existence as a people, and if we do not seriously and quickly move in the direction of a readjustment it simply means that our doom becomes immediately conclusive. Unification of Race. For years the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been working for the unification of our race, not on domestic national lines only, but universally. The success we have met in the course of our effort is rather encouraging, considering the time consumed and the environment surrounding the object of our concern. Sentiment Against Negro It seems that the whole world of sentiment is against the Negro, and the difficulty of our generation is to extricate ourselves from the prejudice that hides itself beneath as well as above the action of an international environment. The Condition of Prejudice Prejudice is conditional on many reasons, and it is apparent that the Negro supplies, consciously or unconsciously, all the reasons by which the world seems to ignore and avoid him. No one cares for a leper, for lepers are infectious persons, because all are afraid of the disease, and so, Progress and Humanity Progress is the attraction that moves humanity, and to whatever people or face this "modern virtue" attaches itself there will you find the splendor of pride and self-esteem that never fail to win the respect and admiration of all. Respect of Angle-Saxon Race It is the progress of the Anglo-Saxon race that singles them out for the respect of all the world. When that race had no progress or achievement to its credit, then, like all other inferior peoples, they paid the price in slavery, bondage, as well as through prejudice. We cannot forget the time when even the ancient Briton was regarded as being too dull to make a good Roman slave, yet today the influence of that race rules the world. Progress of America It is the industrial and commercial progress of America that causes Europe and the rest of the world to think appreciatively of the Anglo American race. It is not because one hundred and ten million people live in the United States that the world is attracted to the republic with so much reverence and respect, a reverence and respect not shown to India with its three hundred millions, or to China with its four hundred millions. Progress of and among any people will advance them in the respect and appreciation of the rest of their fellows. It is such progress that the Negro must attach to himself if he is to rise above the prejudice of the world. The reliance of our race upon the progress and achievements of others for a consideration in sympathy, justice and rights is like a dependence upon a broken stick, resting upon which will eventually throw you to the ground. Self-Reliance and Respect The Universal Negro Improvement Association teaches to our race self-help and self-reliance, not only in one essential, but in all those things that contribute to human happiness and well-being. The disposition of the many to depend upon the other races for a kindly and sympathetic consideration of their needs, without making the effort to do for themselves, has been the race's standing disgrace by which we have been judged and through which we have created the strongest prejudice against ourselves. The Force of Success There is no force like success, and that is why the individual makes all efforts to surround himself throughout life with the evidence of it. As of the individual, so should it be of the race and nation. The glittering success of Rockefeller makes him a power in the American nation; the success of Henry Ford suggests him as an object of universal respect, but no one knows and cares about the Race Must First Respect Itself A DESIRE TO DRAW ALL NEGROES TOGETHER By Our Progress and Success We Compel Others to Respect Us, Says Garvey bum or hobo who is Rockefeller's or Ford's neighbor. So, also, is the world attracted by the glittering success of races and nations, and pays absolutely no attention to the bum or hobo race that lingers by the wayside. The Prejudice of the World The Negro must be up and doing if he will break down prejudice of the rest of the world. Prayer alone is not going to improve our condition, nor the policy of watchful waiting. We must strike out for ourselves in the course of material achievement, and by our own effort and energy present to the world those forces by which the progress of man is judged. A Nation and Country for Peace The Negro needs a nation and a country of his own where he can best show evidence of his own ability in the art of human Scarlet recognized part of alien nations and civilizations is but to demonstrate his imbecility and point him out as an unworthy derelict, fit neither for the society of Greek, Jew nor Gentile. Drifting Apart It is unfortunate that we should so drift apart, as a race, as not to see that we are but perpetuating our own sorrow and disgrace in failing to appreciate the first great requisite of all peoples-organization. The Power of Organization Organization is a great power in directing the affairs of a race or nation toward a given goal. To properly develop the desires that are uppermost, we must first concentrate through some sysem or method, and there is none better than organization. Hence, the Universal Negro Improvement Association appeals to each and every Negro to throw in his lot with those of us who, through organization, are working for the universal emancipation of our race and the redemption of our common country, Africa. The Respect of the World No Negro, let him be American, European, West Indian or African, shall be truly respected until the race as a whole has emancipated itself, through self achievement and progress, from universal prejudice. The Negro will have to build his own government, industry, art, science, literature and culture, before the world will stop to consider him. Until then, we are but wards of a superior race and civilization, and the outcasts of a standard social system. The Need for Workers The race needs workers at this time, not plagueists, copyists and mere imitators; but men and women who are able to create, to originate and improve, and thus make an independent racial contribution to the world and civilization. Monkey Apings of "Leaders" The unfortunate thing about us is that we take the monkey apings of our "so-called leading men" for progress. There is no progress in a Du Bois or Weldon Johnson aping white people and telling us that they represent the best in the race, for in that respect any dressed monkey would represent the best of its species, irrespective of the creative matter of the monkey instinct. The best in a race is not reflected through or by the action of its apes, but by its ability to create of and by itself. It is for such a creation that the Universal Negro Improvement Association seeks. The Best of Ourselves Let us not try to be the best or worst of others, but let us make effort to be the best of ourselves. Our own racial critics criticize us as dreamers and "fanatics," and call us "benighted" and "ignorant," because they lack racial backbone. They are unable to see themselves creators of their own needs. The slave instinct has not yet departed from them. They still believe that they can only be freed through the good graces of their "masters." Their slaves have not yet thrown off their shackles; thus, the Universal Negro Improvement Association "impossibility." Spirit of Dependence It is the slave spirit of dependence that caused the called leading men" (apes) to seek the shelter, protection and patronage of the "master" in their organization and so-called advancement work. It is the spirit of feeling secured as good servants of the master rather than as independents why our modern Uncle Toms take pride in laboring under alien leadership and becoming suprised at the audacity of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in proclaiming for racial liberty and independence. The Respect of the White Race But the world of white and other men, deep down in their hearts, have much more respect for those of us who work for our racial salvation under the banner of the Universal Negro Improvement Association than they could ever have in all eternity for a group of helpless ape and beggars who make a monopoly of undermining their own race and belittling themselves in the eyes of self-respecting people by being "good boys" rather than able men. Apes and Seasoned Buggars Surely, there can be no good will between apes, so soned beggars and independent minded Negroes who will at least make an effort to do for themselves. Surely, the "dependents" and "wards" (and may I not say racial imbeciles) will rave about the improvement Association that expose them to the liberal white minds of the world as not being representative of the best in the Negro, to the contrary, the worst. The best of a race does not on the patronage and philanthropy of others, but make effort to do for itself. The best of the great white doesn't fawn before and beg black, brown or yellow they go out, create for self and thus demonstrate the of the race to survive; and so the white race of America the world will be informed that the best in the Negro is not the class of beggars who send out to other piteous appeals annually for donations to maintain coterie, but the groups within us that are honestly stri to do for themselves with the voluntary help and apprion of that class of other races that is reasonable just liberal enough to give to each and every one a fair chance in the promotion of those ideals that tend to greater human progress and human love. Worth That Is Clean-Cut The work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is clear and clean cut. It is that of inspiring an unfortunate race with pride in self and with the determination of going ahead in the creation of those ideals that will lift them to the unprejudiced company of races and nations. There is no desire for hate or malice, but every wish to see all mankind linked into a common fraternity of progress and achievement that will wipe away the odor of prejudice, and elevate the human race to the height of real godly love and satisfaction. The Support of a Program Every Negro of character should support this program not only morally but financially. The burden of our association is that of the race; hence, we should all go hand in hand in clearing the pathway toward progress and the achievement of greater things. With best wishes for your success, I have the honor to be Your obedient servant. MARCUS GARVEY, President-General, UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION. TOMS PRISON, CENTRE STREET, NEW YORK, August 14, 1923. P. S. — Again I have to appeal to all members, divisions, chapters and branches of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to support the Parent Body by the regular monthly returns. Only those members who are seeing that their divisions or chapters send in their regular monthly reports are really helping the Parent Body and the organization to carry out its program. Remember, that the Parent Body cannot function or do anything worth while if the divisions do not live up to the constitution. There is absolutely no excuse for any division or chapter not to report monthly and help carry on the work. If success is to crown our efforts, then we must all work together and perform our respective duties. M.G. Keith Continues His Brilliant Series On Garveyism in America NEGRO TRYING TO BE A "LEADER" HAS BEEN GUILTY OF THE SAME CRIMES Joseph Garvey, Like a Good Marksman, Has Been Discovering Ahead at the Goal of Unity—Unity in Religion, Unity in Aim and Unity in Desertion; and His Success Was Rewarded With the Better Hate and Prejudice When are dreaming of two things in the world today—freedom and the state of mankind in subduing nature for the common good. Governments are building justly of their power; capital seeks more worlds to conquer; labor moves social and economic justice. Negroes have received the least consideration in the dreams of a united mankind. Governments of the world look upon Negroes as a subject people. Capital uses Negro labor indifferently, it displays little concern in Negroes as men. Garveyism has been accepted by thousands of American Negroes as the philosophy offering a future to the Nation of the world—an ultimate chance to live, work and enjoy the advantages and opportunities of human beings. Herveyism seeks unity of Negroes first—unity in religion, unity in aim and in destiny. Its founder believes the unity of the Negroes of the world necessary in world unification for the general good. He has made his idea the heartening dream of thousands of some of the finest spirits of the Negro race—not all fanatical and ignorant people as has been the claim of the enemies of Herveyism. These converts of the philosophy of Marcus Garvey are convinced that the kind of freedom and opportunity needed for the survival and fullest development of the Negroes can only be secured in a government of their own. Marcus Garvey has been charged with being a poor judge of human nature; with being such a dreamer that no dependence could be attached to any of his statements of fact. But there are many who look upon the U. N. I. A. leader's apparent poor judgment of human nature as evidence of his sincere faith in his fellowmen, the essential foundation of society. Fair-minded critics of Marcus Garvey took upon the man as a leader working truly, sincerely and earnestly for his preservation of human faith by their recognition and upbuilding of family not consider the failure of the Black Star Line or any of the institutions under the U.

"Move evaded certain issues on Ufor the good of the cause he But from first to last, Mar- Garvey has been shooting ahead a good marksman at the goal of aim—unity, Mental Empicipation, as Mobilization, Movement and Mountain. This constitutes his dream- his poor judgment of human m- and emblems all the rest of his times. But every Negro trying to a "leader" has been guilty of the "secrimes" in more or less degree, cause Marusc Garvey seemed bent on outdoing all the rest, he became mark of the envious and jealous, his body was hurled into prison. prisoned on One Massley Count of His Indictment the greatest evidence of the faith simplicity of the great majority of vexiles. In their leader has been hilled by the verdict of the jury victing Marusc Garvey upon one tally count of the entire Indictment. a verdict is no testimony of inju- sby the court, but it is additional sense that Marusc Garvey, like all BAYER ER Genuine other individuals of his race who dawn to do, has been betrayed by his own blood. In the same way L'Ouverture was betrayed by his people in Haiti. And every Negro of genius at whom a death blow has been struck during the progress of his career would doubtless acknowledge that one of his blood wielded the dagger. Nearly all unblessed Negroes in America today, who have watched and studied the career of Marcus Garvey, the progress of his movement and the methods of his enemies, believe that the jealous and envious enemies of the man willfully and maliciously contrived to bring about the present situation in the life and career of the U. N. L. A. leader and founder. This belief is the source of growing public disapproval of some of those in the spotlight because of their merciless warfare against Garvey. It A hearing was recently held at Washington before acting Attorney-General A. T. Seymour, with Assistant Attorney-General John W. Crim, representing the Department of Justice, and Assistant United States Attorney John E. Joyce, representing the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, in which Marcus Garvey was convicted, say the Washington Tribune. Mr. Garvey was represented by Henry Lincoln Johnson. D. E. Tobias, W. L. Sherrill and Robert L. Poston were present and demanded a Federal investigation into the conduct of Assistant United States Attorney Maxwell S. Mattuck, who prosecuted the case, and District Judge Mack, who presided at the trial. The argument was made for Garvey that the admission of allegations that his followers had, an arsenal and had threatened the lives of Judge Mack and Mr. Mattuck was prejudicial to the interest of Mr. Garvey, and was wholly irrelevant and immaterial to the question of granting bail and should not have been admitted. It is said that acting Attorney-General Seymur concurs in his opinion. But inasmuch as the granting of ball pending the appeal is discretionary with the court, just what action will be taken by the Department of Justice cannot be foretold. After the hearing Mr. Johnson made a statement characterising the denial of ball to Marcus Garvey as a traveety upon justice. He cited the facts that Bumma Goldman and "Big Bill" Haywood had been admitted to ball on offences far more serious than any crime even charged against Mr. Garvey. Mr. Johnson said: By every rule of law and reason Marcuss Garvey is entitled to ball passing his appeal to the Chrustt Court The Slogan That Is Drawing the Negro Together Is Telling An English correspondent writing to a West Indian newspaper on Carvayism says, among other thinners: "Although for the moment the fortunes of the Emperor of Africa are somewhat clouded, it must not be supplied that his fall will not necessarily mean the end of this agitation. Already many are clamoring to take his place, should he be compelled to step down from his high position among the aristocrats of the Negro race—for that is what the American Negroes are and their brethren over the world recognizes them as such. There are terrible potentialities in an all-black movement in Africa, and the nations who at the moment divide the great Dark Continent among them may yet have to combat a danger in respect of which any previous one would be a mere trifle. Everywhere, in America, Africa and 'Asia, there is a growing rift between the white and the black, and, if men like Garvey and his colleagues can do it, it will not be their fault if this rift be not torn into a gaping gulf, over which no bridge can span. 'Africa for the Africans' is a slogan that will draw together from the four quarters of the world a force well-nigh irresistible if led by men of the caliber of Garvey and his associates." has centered the minds of earnest, inquiring people upon studying Garvayism in a way to discover and appreciate its good impressions upon Negroes of America and throughout the world. The Good Coming Out of Garvayism. Some good has come out of every step in the development of the nationalist movement fathered by Marusus Garvay. Some good has come out of everything also relating to the progress and development of Negroes, it has come out of the progress of Garvayism in America. There is more to come. The public and the world are in an aggressive state. It is well, therefore, to summarize the good of Garvayism and prophecy regarding its future under present conditions and possible a fits in the program of the movement. If the judgment of Garveyism follows truly the laws of clear reasoning, taking facts into account, there can be no doubt of fairness in conclusion. Enemies have whole-heartedly condemned Marcus Garvey as a knave, an adventurer, a foolish dreamer, a liar, a fake and a criminal. They have criticized Garvey methods and acts they thought entirely out of harmony with intelligence, "culture," honesty and sincere interest in the advancement of the thousands of fine spirits, acknowledging the U., N. L. A. founder as their accepted leader and spokesman. Now it is time to survey the past in a search for good, for inspiration, for hope and help and strength for the future struggle of the Negro in America and the wide-world. Let us judge the work of Marcus Garvey with this object in mind, therefore, and summarize the good he has done thus far in his unfinished career. of Appeals for the reversal of judgement of the district court convoking him. "The denial of bail to Marcus Garvey is in largest measure produced by the admission of Illegal testimony; that is to say, the District Attorney produced allegations that Garvey's organization had an arsenal and weapons for offense, and that directly or indirectly his sympathizers had engaged in divers threats upon the lives of the trial judge and the District Attorney. None of this was proved, but was allowed to go in. "Emma Goldman was admitted to bail on for a more serious offense than Garvey's conviction. "Big Bill" Haywood was admitted to bail, and there is go earthly comparison between the thing for which Garvey was convicted and the enormity of the charge against Bill Haywood. "In my judgment, the denial of bail to Garvey in the circumstance in far more dangerous than all the crimes even charged against him." MR. V. E. SAMUELS Mr. V. P.

NEW YORK WORLD PUBLISHES THE LIFE STORY OF MARCUS GARVEY IN WHICH HE TELLS OF HIS STRUGGLES AND HIS AIMS FIGHT HE HAD TO MAKE FOR HIS IDEALS The Black Man Should Have a Country of His Own Where He Should Be Given the Fullest Opportunity to Develop Politically, Socially and Industrially Under His Own Government, He Clearly and Logically Points Out The New York World in its Sunday edition of the 5th Instr. featured on the first page of its second news edition the life story of Marcus Garvey, told by himself, and which we reproduce for the benefit of our thousands of readers, both in America and abroad. The story is told with a simplicity and power that holds one with a grip and cannot fall to be an inspiration to every Negro whose aim and ambition is to see a place carved for the race in the gun. "I was born in the island of Jamaica, British West Indies, on the 15th of August, 1857. My parents were black Negroes. My father was a man of brilliant intellect and daships courage. He was unafraid of consequences. He once had a fortune; he died poor. My mother was a sober and conscientious Christian, too soft and good for the time in which she lived. She was the direct opposite of my father. Of this strange combination I was born 36 years ago and ushered into a world of sin, the flesh and the devil. "I grew up with the other black and white boys. I was never whipped by the inside them all respectfully. I had them." "I got my education from many sources—through private tutors, two public schools, two grammar or high schools and two colleges." A Printer's Apprentice "I became a printer's apprentice at early age, white still attending school. My apprentice master taught me many things before I reached 12, and at 11 I had enough intelligence and experience to manage men. Between school and work, at 14, I had under my control several men. I was strong and manly, and I made them respect me. "To me, as home, in my early days, there was no difference between white and black. One of my father's properties, the place where I lived most of the time, was adjoining that of a white man. He had three girls and two boys; the Welsh minister, another white man, whose church my parents attended, also had property adjoining ours. He had three girls and one boy. All of us were playmates. We romped and moved together. "As a child I went to school with white boys and girls, like all other Negroes. We were not called Negroes then. I never heard the term Negro used even once until I was about 11." "At maturity we black and white boys separated and took different courses in life. I grew up then to see the difference between the races more and more. My schoolmates, as young men, did not know or remember me any more. Gots a Good Post "At 15 I had a new position as manager of a large printing establishment having under my control several men who were old enough to be my grand-fathers. But I got mixed up with public life. I started to take an interest in the politics of my country, and then I saw a world of injustice done to my race because it was black and became disafflicted on that account. I went travelling to South and Central America and other parts of the West. Indies to find out if it was so elsewhere, and by God, I found the same situation! I set sail for Europe to find out if it was different there, and to and behold. I found the same stumbling block: 'You are black.' "I read of the conditions in America. I read the "Up From Sluvery" of Booker T. Washington, and then my doom—may I call it so—of being a leader dawned upon me in the city of London, after I had traveled through almost half of Europe. Immediately I boarded a Royal Mail steam packet at Southampton for Jamaica. It was in late June of 1914. The ship was stopped at many ports between the West Indies and Colon, Panama, but I arrived in Jamaica around July 16. The Universal Negro, Improvement Association and African Communities (Imperial) League, was founded and organized five days after my arrival with the program of uniting all the Negro peoples of the world into one great body to establish a country and government absolutely their own. Saw Name in Vision Where did the name of the organisation come from? It was white speaking to a West Indian Negro who was a passenger on the ship with me from Southampton, who was returning home to the West Indies from Baskitland with his Basutó wife, that I further learned of the horrors or native life in Africa. He related to me in conversation such, horrible and pittable tales that my heart bled within me. Returning from the conversation to my cabin, all day and the following night I popped over that conversation, and at midnight, lying that on my back, the vision and thought came to me that I should name the organization the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities (Imperial) League. Such a name, I thought, would embrace the purpose of all black humanity. Thus to the world a name was born, a movement created, and a man became known. I really never knew there was so much color prejudice in Jamaica, my own native home, until I started the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. I was openly hated and persecuted by some of these colored men of the South, and I wanted to be classified as Negroes, but as white. I got in touch with Booker T. Washington and told him of what I wanted to do. He invited me over to America, when he promised he would speak along with me in the South and other States to help my work. I arranged to go over to America in the spring of 1916, but Washington died in the fall of 1915. I was disappointed, but nevertheless I came and arrived in America on March 23, 1916. Comes to America On my arrival in America I came in contact with a new and different problem that called for the same consideration. I immediately clipped some of the so-called Negro leaders. I found out after a close study of them that they had no program, but were more opportunities who were living off their so-called leadership, while the poor people were grouping in the deck I traveled through thirty-eight States and found the same condition. I returned to New York and organized the New York division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. After instructing the people in the aims and objects of the association, I intended returning, home to Jamaica to perfect the Jamaica organization, but after we had enrolled about 800 or 1,000 members in the Harlem district and elected the officers, a few Negro politicians started to corral the membership for politics. They wanted to turn the movement into a political club, come for the one party and others for the other. I saw that they were about to destroy my ideas, so I had to put up a light to get them out of the organization. There it was that I made my first political enemies in Harlem. They fought me until they smashed the first organization to about fifty persons. I started again, and in two months built up a new organization of about 1,000 members. Again the politicians came and divided us into two factions. They took away all the books of the organization, its treasury and everything. On the second split in Harlem three-four of the members met me and requested me to become President for a time of the New York organization, so as to save them from the politicians. I consented and was elected. By this time I had the association incorporated, so as to prevent the other faction using the name, but in two weeks the politicians had stolen all the people's money and had smashed up their faction. Starts Negro Páper "I started The Negro World. Being a journalist I edited this paper free of cost for the association and worked for them without pay until November of 1920. In 1919 we had about thirty branches in different cities. "By my writings and speeches we were able to build up a large organization of over 2,000,000 by June, 1819, at which time we launched the program of the Black Star Line. "We succeeded in making the Universal Negro Improvement Association no forgiable in 1919 that we further encountered the hase of our political De Omnibus Rebus By Le Van It is all over.

Whatever magnificence of soul or spirit we attain while imprisoned in this earthly erust we retain on our departure therefrom. Whatever excellence of soul we lose while in this earthly frame we find ourselves minus of when we depart. Harding is not dead. He has simply passed from one stage of life to another. The earthly frame which imprisoned his spirit has now been shaken off, leaving it free to rove, see and know, not the whole truth, but a greater portion than when on earth. Death may have brought his physical frame as low as follow that it brought the real man.

What would this brought his physical frame as low as any other mortal frame, but it dos not follow that it brought the real man. Harding none of us have ever seen. Whatever breadth, depth or magnitude of growth the real man took on while confined and hampered by the flesh he carried with him to the unknown to continue, where he will, free from this fleshy handicap. He has simply passed from the cloudiness of an uncertain world to the sunlight of a more glorious world, where growth continues. If his soul was little, narrow, prejudiced, while imprisoned in this earthly temple, Harding knows it now, for he sees and knows. If he failed to use his earthly opportunities to render the greatest amount of good, he regrets. If he was too small a soul to speak out fearlessly, in defense of right, truth and justice regardless of the cost, he now bemoans his going out and hopes for a similar opportunity, which he may some day get further down the stream of time. If his successor could hear him speaking now, he would hear Harding say, "My son, be just, true, clean and fearless, on the side of right. That is all that counts out here. You may conquer cities, bring kings and queens before you on banded knees, you may bottle lightning, bridle steam and pile up wealth until it kisses a noon-day sun; all the world may chant thy, name and shout thy fame far and wide, but all will count for naught when you pass through death's open door, if your activities have not been true, just and fearless on the side of right." What would this old world be, if among us mortals there were none who had the courage to step forward and plead the cause of Truth and Justice? What would become of both church and state, if once in a while we did not accidentally elevate to high office a man who, in spite of public opinion, precedence or applause, is willing to throw aside the mantle of fear, caution and conscience and take a stand for justice and the battle of interest from among such souls now. Men who allow nothing cars be turned and scorns and criticize though their hearts sometimes yearn for out for a bit of earthly glory, who struggle on and on toward the goal of immortal things. Truth and justice, they never given birth to nor will they hidden from view by falsehood, buried upon the scaffold, but they can never and always will be. They shine in and echo from every valley.

The fight raises the mantle of fear, caution and conservatism, dare the very brink of the precipice and take a stand for justice and truth, and write his name indelibly upon the face of immorality. How ever a world decade in need of such souls now. Men who allow nothing to turn them aside, who defeat cars be turned and scorns and criticisms handed them in abundance, who though their hearts sometimes yearn for little appreciation and their souls cry out for a bit of earthly glory, who though the path is rugged and thankless, struggle on and on toward the goal of truth and justice. Truth and justice are immortal things. Truth and justice, the only things which live forever. They were never given birth to nor will they be claimed by death. They may be hidden from view by falsehood, buried in the trash of ignorance or placed upon the scaffold but they can never be destroyed. They have always been and always will be. They shine in every star, burst forth from every rose and echo from every valley.

Lies, and unfairness, what irregularly shaped monsters they are. They pass over the earth like flames from hall, leaving death and destruction in their wake, and then pass off forever. They may place behind prison bars right and leave wrong to rove the earth. They may place upon the head of purity shame and cover the hero with cowardice and dishonor; they may degrade and imprison a Garvey and exalt a Pickens or Du Bois; they may wreck organizations, blast hopes, break hearts, corrupt courts, throw judges off their course and make tools of prosecuting attorneys, but they cannot live forever, for there is nothing permanent but truth. And one day, whether soon or late, it will get a hearing. The fight raised by the Philippines against General Leonard Wood should be but another indicator to the white world that the dark races, together with oppressed people of other races, are determined to go not backward from but forward toward the goal of complete freedom and independence. In 1916 a bill was passed by the United States Congress giving the islands almost complete free- independence.

Notwithstanding the fact that the Jones bill passed by Congress in 1916 gave the islands almost complete local government, General Wood, in the space of two years, has almost succeeded in taking from the Philippines what little measure of freedom this bill gave. He has not only attempted to curb their political liberties, but according to reports of Alfredo Samson, secretary of the Philippine Press Bureau at Washington, has made an effort to strike an economic blow at the island by trying to force the government to turn 'ta railroads and banks over to New York capitalists. In the light of Governor Wood's record, it would appear that his mission in the islands is to crush out of the Philippines the spirit of independence and deliver to American capitalists the resources of the island. Under the leadership of Manuel L. Quezon, of the Philippine Independent Movement, the Philippines have protested vigorously for the removal of Governor Wood. They have not only protested, but have employed a weapon more effective than those of beginning, petitioning or appealing, in the form of boycotting all American goods. This weapon, if rightly handled, will bring the most powerful to their knees. This move on the part of the Philippines will be a blow just above the heart and will be felt by the Giant America, if delivered with enough force and power. COOLIDGE READY WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.—With less than three weeks remaining before the country will be in the grip of another anthracite coal strike, unless a wage contract is signed, important steps by the government, with a view to bringing about a settlement between miners and operators are expected shortly. President Coolidge recognizes the gravity of the situation not alone by reason of the general apprehension expressed over it but by reason of the fact he is from New England, where there is the utmost fear of a repetition of test winter's troubles. His intimates express confidence he will do all the Administration can do to prevent a strike and that. I one comes in snite WARREN G. HARDING NOT DEATH BUT TRANSITION TRUTH AND JUSTICE. IMMORTAL THINGS THE PHILIPPINES INDICATE RACE PROGRESS of this, he will take vigorous action to insure coal to the public and prevent suffering. Already the President has talked the subject over with various advisers, including some members of Congress. He has gone into it with Secretary Hoover, with some of the members of the Coal Commission, and with Joseph B. Eastman, of the Interstate Commerce Commission. Further conferences will be held this week. The first move on the part of the government will be to bring pressure on miners and operators to resume negotiations, preferably in Washington. Miners and operators, unless they are spadely on their own account and resume negotiations, will be urged by the Coal Commission, backed by the President, to adopt a settlement both for their own and in the public interest. ARE YOU SICK? WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.—The forlorn roll of a muffled dream marked the passing from the White House of Warren G. Harding today, never to return. The body was taken from the vaulted stillness of the East Room to the wide avenue, where sorrowing thousands waited. A simple service of prayer preceded his going. His brave widow followed him on his last journey. If her heart was breaking, her courage held intact. Other men and women wept. She tightened her lips and carried on. Two former Presidents—Wilson and Taft—rode immediately after the casket. The new President, Calvin Conlidge, followed Mrs. Hardling. A stately procession of dignitaries, men who had called Mr. Hardling their chief and friend, followed with howed heads. Justices of the Supreme Court, diplomats, Senators, Representatives, Governors and personal friends, symbolizing the judicial, legislative and executive life of the nation, left, the White House carrying with them the memory of Warren Hardling's peaceful profile as he lay at rest, free from the cares of state. Look Their Last on Chief For two hours before the casket was moved a ceaseless stream of visitors circled the East Room for a last glimpse of a well-loved President. It began with the employees of the White House—the officials, attendants, clerks, stenographers of the first floor and the cooks, mugs, gardening, darkies, and mammies—simple folk from the basement who filled by just as they were, come with, souled hands, others wearing aprons and mop cap, but their grief none the less sincere for that. Then the gold face and silk hat of the diplomat, and statement supplanted the humble procession for an hour an unbroken stream of cars rolled up and left small groups of two and three who were ushered into the White House by commissioned officers of the navy. All filled reverently by the casket in the flower-filled East Room, looking their last on their leader. Mrs. Harding's wreath of red, yellow and white gladiol lay at the head of the coln and near it three wreaths that summed up the President's official life. One was from Mr. Coolidge, representing the executive function of President, one from Chief Justice Taft representin, the judiciary, and a third from Congress, representing the legislative phase of his life. White waiting for the process to start. President Coolidge office doing possession in the treasury and preparing waited alone in the treasury Room. The diplomat, removed on the Blue Room, the family and friends in the Red Room and Senators and congressmen in the late dining room President Wilhelm alone of all the mourners, because of his illness, did not enter the White House. He and Mrs. Wilhelm were among the earliest arrivals. It was exactly in oak (Standard timber), where President Coolidge can show up and he entered the White House, looking strained and pale. A simple service was held over the burial in the East Room. Mrs. Coolidge came down from the arm of George F. Christensen, Jr. Only the President, members of the Cabinet, justices of the Supreme Court and immediate relatives attended. Dr. A. Froemer Anderson, acting pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, prayed and then the Loyal Prayer was reported over the casket while Mrs. Harling stood supported on one by Bingham General Sawyer and on the other by Mr. Christian. After one intering look at the still face, she retired upstairs until the caisson got under way ARE YOU Are you RUN,DOWN, WEAK, TIRED, WORK OUT? Are you SICK, due to PALE, POOR, BAD BLOOD?

This JOYZONE Red Tonic There was some delay in getting started. Outside, the sun was beating down pitilessly on the White House. Great crowds strained reatlessly against the railings, women in mourning, men with hats off, watching for the coming of the casket. Two solid rows of blue-jackets and marines fronted the portico. It was sweltering hot. Up the driveway rumbled the noisy caisson, its six horses breathing heavily under the heat of red saddle blankets. A bugle called attention—once, and then again. The roll of a drum caught at the heart strings of the waiting throng. Through the door the flag-draped casket was borne, with Mrs. Harding's wreath resting alone upon it. Today's procession was the first in which four Presidents went down the historic avenue which connects the national capital with the White House. The revered Mr. Harding, still in death, was followed by Mr. Coolidge, who takes up the Presidential burdens so abruptly show from the shoulders of his beloved friend. Immediately behind the Chief Executive rode William Howard Taft, out of the White House ten years, and now the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Then came Woodrow Wilson, whose eight years in the Executive Mansion left him a beaten man, physically, but whose courageous light for health seemed today practically won. Long Wait for Mrs. Harding Long Wait for Mrs. Harding The leaden chords of "The Dead March From Saul" accompanied the slow tread of the military guard that hone the mortal remains of Warren Harding down the steps of the White House to the canyon. It took some time to strap the casket into place. First in line came the honorary polite letters and the Cabinet ministers. Secretary of State Hughes rode with Secretary of War Weeks. Attorney General Patrickly accompanied Postmaster General New. Secretary of the Interior'Work was with Secretary of the Navy Jenby. Herbert Hoover, Secretary of Commerce, rode with Secretary of Agriculture Wallace. There was a long wait before Mrs. Harding appeared. Eventually she came, leaning on the sims of Brisadier General Sawyer and Mr. Christain. From the street came the echoes of "Onward, Christian Soldiers." Straight and calm, her slender form moved forward with low, deft Date step. Come up to followed her dead from the White House. Her front could not be seen through the heavy veil veil that fell from her wide hat to the top of her suit. The cushion of her car were drawn and only a shadowy allegory of her veiled figure could be seen through the front of the car. Mr. Christain and General Sawyer rode with her. President Coulson stood with bareheaded on the White House step until Mr. Haldin's car got under way. He lowered his eyes and kept them fixed on the ground. Next came Chief Justice Taft, who waved his hat and bowed repeatedly to former President Walt Whitman as he entered his car. Behind him rode Mr. Wilson, fanning himself with a palm leaf ¹³ cm, oiled with creepy, and raising his hat as he was greeted on all sides. Passing the White House door he saddened noteworthy. With him were Mrs. Wilson and Admiral Crayon. Accompanying, Mr. Taft was representatives of the Supreme Court were Associate Justice McKenna, Butler and Sanford. Diplomats, Senators, and Representatives followed each other in rapid succession, the uniforms of the diplomats supplying the only touch of color to the mournful procession. Garvey Sends Greetings to Coolidge on Behalf of U.N.I.A. By R. L. POSTON On Tuesday, Aug. 7, at midnight, the Hon. W. L. Sherrill and I left New York, as representatives of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, to participate in the funeral procession of President Harding. The many people on the trains headed for Washington told us before reaching the Capital that the death of our President would bring to the Capital city many thousand sorrowing souls to pay their last respect to our fallen hero. We arrived in Washington at 1 a.m. After spending a few minutes at our hotel, we were again cut on the streets to mingle with the throng which had been drawn to Washington because of this sad occasion. The city itself bore marks of what had happened. Flags everywhere were at half-mast and things generally presented the aspect of mourning. Even the little kiddies in the street tripped lighter than usual and a calm hush which crept over the city made one unquestionably a part of the great drama, being enacted. President Harding, in spite of his shortcomings, was truly a great American, for only a great American could have elicited the heart-throbs of this great nation as he. Given a Place in the Line We returned to our hotel where we were soon joined by Attorney Joseph Stewart and Mr. Lionel Oxley, president and secretary, respectively, of the Washington Division. With these gentlemen, we soon found our way to the officer in charge of the parade. Lieutenant Colonel, Sherrill, (no relation to our Assistant President General), who having been informed before, said that we would be in the city, had prepared a place for us in the line of march. Commanding the military accord, war General John J. Pershing, hero of the late war. With him were $000 Marines. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, chief marshal of the civil procession. Following close after this was the hearse, which bore the remnants of our ex-President. On the right of which were Speaker Gillette, members of the cabinet, and six members of the House. On the left were Senator Cummings, president pro tem of the Senate, members of the cabinet and senators, all of whom were honorary pulleversers. On each side of the line of honour, pulleversers was the guard of honor consisting of three general officers of the army and three admirals. They came the family and relatives of the late President. They President Cummings, with his military and Chief of the Taft and aid, and former President Wilson, and Foreign ambassador and so on followed. Colored People Well Represented. So long we the procession it seems that every state city and hamlet had sent a delegation to represent them at the president until we were more than three hours getting from Columbia Circle to the State United. As we here our way down Pennsylvania gave the high form to which our President was held was clearly shown. Here men, women, and children of all races were assembled with bowed heads as the procession slowly passed. I have never in all my life seen such a large gathering of people for any occasion. The street were literally jammed with people. The office buildings seemed crowded and the great burden of persons viewing the procession from the windows. We were not able to see how many colored organizations were represented in the parade, but from a position we saw a car bearing a delegation of Negro Masons and one other car bearing Negro employees of the various Government departments there at Washington, but in the streets the colored people were well represented and their faces showed the same kind of concern as marked the physiognomy of the many thousand white persons assembled. When the body of our President reached the Capitol, there was a great effort made by the many thousand persons to view it. Many of them were no rewarded, but many thousands had The following telegram was sent by Marcus Garvey, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, to President Coolidge on behalf of the Universal Negro Improvement Association: "Having laid our deceased and lamented President to rest amidst the honor due him as one of America's truest and most devoted sons, the two and a half million members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in America, and the millions in other parts of the world who joined in sympathy and condolence, beg of you to accept their best wishes on your assumption of the Presidency. As citizens we pledge you our loyal support in upholding the principles of our- Thirty Thousand Looked Their Last on Calm Face Lying Peacefully at Rest People of every race, creed, color and station in life waited patiently in the long lines, trailing under the searching sun for blocks which converged at the catafique in the Refunda, to catch a last glimpse of President Harding as the body lay in state. It was a perfect companion of all the crises-crosses of life that make up the back-bones of the nation. Statesman and derelict perpired and rubbed elbows, as 30,000 people filed past the bier. The mortal remains of Warren Gamaliel Harding rested on a bank of flowers and through closed eyelids seemed to gaze far above him. On his face was the expression of a happy dream. There, under the dome of the Capitol, a new and bright sun was rising over the "E Pluribus Unum" borne by a group of winged, celestial figures, the central motif of the famous fresco. He appeared intent upon this, as though seeing some immeasurable fulfillment of the national motto, "Out of Many, One!" NEGROES TO ASK COOLIDGE AID IN TUSKEGEE FRACAS WASHINGTON, Aug. 2—An appeal will be taken to President Coolidge on the decision by Director Frank T. Hines, of the Veterans' Bureau, to continue a white commanding officer and appoint two white assistants for the federal hospital at Tuskegee, Ala., built for Negro ex-service men. This decision was announced in press dispatches today from Tuskegee, with the statement that the white Tuskegee committee had accepted. The result was a storm of protest from Negro leaders, who insisted President Harding's policy was for a complete black control. As President Coulledge dedicated the hospital at Tinkergo early this summer, he is believed by the Negroes to be thoroughly conversant with the mission in the Abuja community. They maintain that the white officers will claim credit if the hospital is successful and will lay the blame on Negro subordinates if it fails. A request for an appointment with President Coulledge will be made after the funeral services. He will be asked to overrule the decision by Gen. Hines, name a Negro physician as commanding officer for the institution and send federal protection for the Negroes from the Ku Ku Klu. to be turned away is disappointed, some who had travelled so far to California for this special purpose.

Harding Will Be Missed We touched over in Washington motel Thursday morning following the inaugural ceremony. We found the city slowly returning to normality, and we feel sure it will be many weeks before it will return to the state where it was when Almighty God, in His infinite wisdom, saw it to remove the nation's fool. At 11 a.m. we went to the train from Washington to New York, contemplating, as the man of steam and steel how we homeward, what a mighty thing it is to be great and what a most responsibility is upon greatness. Hundreds of thousands came to participate in the services of our great President because in a way or other, his life touched those. If the touch has not been what he wanted it to be, he will never have an opportunity to correct the error. If on the other hand, it has been what his conscience approves, great as he among Angels! I do not exactly agree with the psalmist when he says, "What is man, that thou should be mindful of him!" The president Harding will be missed. Glorious Constitution, and we shall pray God's blessing upon you so that you may ever see the right integrating the affairs of state. The other millions of Negroes of the world shall also pray for your success and hope that your vision on international matters will be so clear as to lead you to be just and fair to all mankind. The world still awaits a champion for the cause of humanity, irrespective of race or color, and we pray God to find such, in you, who have been called to lead our nation and point the world to a sober adjustment of our human life. "Long live President Coolidge! Long live America! in the prayer of he Uni- versal! in the Improvement Association." COOLIDGE ATTENDS OLD CHILDREN ON FIRST SUNDAY AS HARLEM IS HUSHED AND DAY OBSERVED AS ONE OF MOURNING There was a pause on Wednesday in the rush of the city's business as a mark of respect for the beloved national leader, whose body was being carried, at the moment, on the gun calsson from the White House to the Capitol at Washington. Simultaneously with the pronouncement of a brief eulogy as President Harding's body lay in the rotunda of the building, where he had served as United States Senator, simple services were held in many places in New York. The tolling of church bells caused multitudes on the streets to uncover their heads, murmuring silent prayers to the man to whom good will and peace on earth meant more than the mighty weight of power. The residents of Harlem added their title of sorrow to the mighty weight of grief that have down upon every citizen last Friday. Every commercial enterprise was stopped; every form of entertainment was foregone; every resident passed in his daily routine of tasks to pay silent tribute to the memory of the departed Chief Executive. Memorial services were held in every place of worship, would institutions gathered in their members to mourn the presence of their leader. Even political organization, forgot the petty differences in life in laws of the omnipotent personmaker, death. As all that was mortal of the fallen Chief was be buried in its final resting place, at Meadow, every activity was suspended, and more than Sunday quiet prevailed on Harlem on Friday. Departed buildings, as well as private apartments, displayed emblems of good faith half must, and the portrait of the late President, draped in cloth. The trees were practically cut.

Harding will be fulfilled. President Calvin Coolidge renewed this pledge this afternoon in an informal conference with newspaper men, strongly indicating that he intends to strike vigorously to carry out the Harding schedule of legislation. While Mr. Coolidge did not go into detail, he knew that his listeners were acquainted with Mr. Harding's announced plans—the World Court, consolidation of the nation's railroad system, co-ordination of State and Federal prohibition agencies, and alteration of the Volstead act to relieve the government of its present embarrassment with foreign nations. The World Court proposal was foremost in the Harding scheme. In a message just before the closing of Congress, the late President suggested that the Senate officially authorize the American Government to participate in the operation of the World Court of Justice at the Hague. It is presumed, therefore, that Mr. Coolidge's pledge involves, thus, the very crux of Mr. Harding's program. Mr. Coolidge's announcement came after a day of conferences, with his Cabinet members, the same who were selected by his former chief. He is directing just thought to preserving the personnel and principles of Mr. Harding. He wants Mr. Harding's friends to be his triumph, and Mr. Harding's government to govern The Probable Program In view of this desire and his activities as President this year, it is conceived that the probability will be the Coordige program. 1.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11—It was in the First Congregational Church where President Garfield made his last public appearance in June, 1898 that President and Mrs. Coolidge, described as followers of the "old thirst religion," attended services last Sunday day morning. A Sabbath calm hung over the city and there were few of the curious ooze side the edifice at 10th and G streets to see them arrive, but 1,500 of the fellow worshippers packed every available seat inside and more stood in the side aisles and at the rear. President, Coolidge's automobile reached the church just before no clock, and the congregation stood while the President and Mrs. Coolidge accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Stearns of Boston, were ushered down the right altar to their seats in a pew near the altar, formerly occupied by the late Senator Murray Crane of Massachusetts. The services started immediately after their arrival and the minister Rev. Jason Noble Pierce, flier of the President, fellow Amherst alumnus, and former chief chaplain of the Second Division in France, took his text, "Love is near." After the doxology came the opening prayer, in which the Rev. Mr. Pierce expressed his gratitude for the Christian character of the late President, but gave thanks that his leadership had fallen upon one of "strong Christian faith," who will "look unto God for his guidance and support." "As we are gathered here," said Rev. Mr. Pierce, "a train is on its from the Pacific to the Atlantic bearing all that is mortal of him was our Chief Magistrate. Our sympathy and our comprehend love goes out to the loyal wife, constant companion, the lover a part of his life." "It is in the inscrutable wisdom God," the sermon continued, "these events of sorrow come, but does not desire them or plan although he permits them. God is law and justice but greater." "A few days ago you could found people all over the country would have criticized the Chief A. Hartee. All that is forgotten and day there is one common sorrow the heart of America. The chief attribute of America is love. It is never absent. It is love that will not fall Mrs. Hardy the Colonel members, the aged fall in his home State, the brothers owe that love will not fall American people, for we have come chance that the civil will guide the destiny of America." Memorial services for President Hardy were held in the same church at the cemetery service. Warren (4) Hardy died in "martyr to duty."

THE POWER OF DEATH Wednesday the nation spoke its formal farewell to nominal homage to President Harding in a memorial stakably majestic.

No man ever held a man than did he. he is going to his last resting place to await us up its dead. LAST Wednesday the nation spoke its formal farewell and paid its ceremonial homage to President Harding in a manner that was unmistakably majestic. The whole drama of the nation was echoed in that last ride of a dead President to the great white dome upon the hill. The nation's power by land and sea was represented. The greatest figures in the nation, a President and two men who had been president, added distinction to the scene. Between ranks of millions of his countrymen the body returned to the home of his last years to be laid finally to rest. He was no longer President. His voice was stilled. Yet men and women rode for miles, from cities, from one villages, to wait-hours, all night if need be, to utter a brief "hail and farewell." The grief of a people for a beloved leader was poured out in a way that caused the official mourning to be forgotten in the simple sorrow for the man—for a character that shone above even his great office. It is the truth that the rare fineness of Mr. Harding, the true greatness of his character, was revealed to the many in his death. By the sacrifice of his won for himself and for his cause a respect and admiration for many a record of accomplishment waits long in vain. It is no new truth that death can thus be mightier than life. Sacrifice over a great and moving spectacle. To the supreme sacrifice there is answer in physical power as the army of martyrs bears witness. The tire Christian faith, the propelling force of the Western world, was it on the greatest of martyrdoms, was made possible by death. It is strange that fate should couple the smiling, modest man who President Harding with such words as sacrifice and martyrdom. Yet spirit of service was strong in him. No man ever held a more devoted of duty than did he. And now, he is going to his last resting place to await the day when grave gives up its dead! Now the laborer's task is over; Now the battle day is past; Now upon the farther shore Lands the voyager at last. DRAWING THE COLOR LINE EGRO WORLD has sometimes been accused animosities, of widening the breach but which on this continent have been thrown. World, it need hardly be repeated, never. But if it is meant to be charged that we in THE NEGRO WORLD has sometimes been accused of fanning racial animosities, of widening the breach between the two races which on this continent have been thrown together by late. The Negro World, it need hardly be repeated, never entered upon such a task. But if it is meant to be charged that we invigilently against the pernicious hatreds and prejudices to which the Negro heir; that we condemn, for the vicious propaganda it is, tall of the ultimate amalgamation of the races; that we try to make the Negro realize he must be sufficient unto himself; then we plead guilty. We shall always, regardless of criticism, here issues affecting race they arise, however unpleasant the operation may appear to the hypo- the ways of the sycophant and the wheeled are distasteful to us, we narrow-minded employer in some city or town or village may "fire" Negro help because he wears in his buttonhole the Negro tricolor - red, Black and Green. Some obscure political job may pass by some likely obscure would-be Negro leader. But these terrible things must the Negro's lot is to be reclaimed. We prefer always to take the view, to scan the horizon of the world, rather than circumseribe tolook with a city's or even a nation's limits. y white citizens of this glorious republic are clowning in Paris- inglorious manner. Some citizens of Georgia, or of New York, ing to France a social custom. It is their that Negro citizens ing to France a social system. It asks them that Negro citizens France are free to enter public places at their will, and so they are amping to institute the "color line" in Paris, as they have in Cuba and or two South American countries. So once has the situation become at the French Foreign Office has just issued a communiqué to American artists through the press, saying: "Guests of France must respect their atoms and not object to the presence of colored persons from the French colonies in public places. In the event of renewal of certain incidents, penalties will be exacted." It is understood that the penalties may be the form of revoking of passports of the offenders. In other words, white Americans who, as guests of France, insult her sons will be led on board ship and sent sailing back to the Statue of Liberty. "The Paris police," a recent dispatch says, "have closed the Montmartre dance hall, whence Prince George Tovaleon, son of the former colored King of Dahomey, was ejected on complaints of Americans." M. Daigne, Negro Deputy of France, commenting on the recent incidents, said: "Americans must learn they cannot impose their barbarous customs here. If they don't like our ways, they can stay at home. Too many Americans are running loose on our boulevards trying to enforce customs on French guillotine of color." And so the Negro IN the course of his memorable three-hour speech to the jury, Garvey characterized some of the witnesses for the prosecution, former employees of the Black Star Line, Inc., as "Crooks, sharps and sharks." These three monosyllables hit hard. Ardent apologists, skeptical of the truth of the saying, Quit excuse, excuse, sprang up not only in defense of those to tersely labeled, but of all who were ever in the service of the Black Star Line, Inc., or the Universal Negro Improvement Association. First, they declared with a touch of sarcasm, he should have known their character when he hired them. Second, it was Garvey's way so to accuse those who disagreed with him. The apologia, however, cannot survive inspection. Its falsity is as complete as the truth of the characterization. When men go job-seeking they do not tag themselves "wolf." They pad their hoofs and sheathe their claws, smite their breasts and, with eyes upturned to heaven, make their vows. In this wicked world, so long as human nature remains what it is, officials will graft, politicians will fatten their purses, generals will deliver, their armies into the hands of the enemy, the law dealing with treason and corruption will justify its existence in the legal code—men will continue to betray their trust, shrewdness in choosing and insight into character given to great leaders notwithstanding. The second part of the apologia has been so often repeated that it has come to be believed. But nothing is more divorced from the truth. Marcus Garvey, we grant, found his faith in his fellowmen rudely shaken by his early experiences. He soon reached the stage, unfortunately, where he was almost forced to hold men under suspicion until they had unquestionably demonstrated their probity. But in reality no man is more willing to shake hands and be friends after a clean fight than the great leader, no man more ready to appreciate faithful service well rendered than he. A born fighter, he is at his best when facing an able opposition. And if men with tawny purposes, weaker in intellect, unblessed with courage, go down in defeat why throw stones at the victor? As well rail at Cesar because he bestrode his narrow world like a Colossus. There was never a venture launched but that it attracted wolves in sheeps' clothing. The Black Star Line, Inc., and the Universal Negro Improvement Association, from which it sprang, cried out for black men worthy to lead: And among those that rallied were wolves, mild-mannered and meek. Mistaking the great venture for just another lamb, meet to be shorn they came. Some soon realized that a new and clean chapter in the history of the Negro was about to be written, and abruptly skulked away from the strange environment. Others, more subtle, more enduring, remained until the camouflage was torn from their limbs and their deceits revealed to the world. And when, crestfallen, they returned to their lairs, it was natural that their hungry brood should cry out in anguish. But these cries will deceive no one. The Black Star Line, no less than the U. N. I. A., has had its "crooks, sharps and sharks." Peters will be found encoured in the midst of great evangelists. But their shift will be short. Because it stands for right, justice and truth, a Divine Providence has promised the U. N. I. A. special protection. Crooks, sharps and sharks there have been; crooks, sharps and sharks there must be. And even though their enemy, Garvey, is in a prison cell, the U. N. I. A. will still withstand their shocks and write, as it is destined to do, a justi- tary page in the annuals of Negro independence and true liberty. ENRIGHT AND THE "SPEAKEASY" ALL right-thinking citizens will welcome Commissioner Enright's recent pronouncement on prohibition enforcement in New York City. The Commissioner has just issued a departmental eclic making officers in charge of districts personally responsible for sweeping the pernicious "speakeasy" from the streets of his district. Not only are precinct commanders ordered to place all their available forces on the job, but the Commissioner commendably goes one step farther, and makes it known that headquarters will institute a system of check, under which commanding officers will be personally brought to account in cases where "speakeasies" are still found plying their trade under the eyes of the police. This edict, drastic though it is, will be indorsed by everyone who has but a passing interest in the life and welfare of his community. Ever since the Volstead act went into effect the prohibition ukase, as for a New York is concerned, has applied only to good and harmless liquor. No difficulty in seeming good whi lv or good beer has ever been experienced by the thirty edition with a fat bank roll. Only the poor working man has been hard but. To suitify a life long habit he was forced to imbibe vile concessions which, in the stomach of any normal, healthy child, would act like a strong dose of evade. With the repeal of the Mulhan-Gage act all seeming restraint on the part of vendors of the death potions was banned and the term "speakeasy" became a misnomer. The conditions before and after prohibition became practically identical, the nature and quality of the stuff handed over the counter marking the only change. Drink friends clamored at barmen for their dope. There was no attempt at concealment, and the vile trade flourished and grew. Perhaps nowhere in New York City has this public danger stalked more brazen and unafraid than in Haflem. It is no exaggeration to state that between 125th and 145th streets along Lenox avenue, the Black Belt's Broadway, there are at least one hundred "speakeasies" innocent-looking delicatessen stores, cigar stores, drug stores and dry goods stores where at almost pre-prohibition prices the thoughtless may linger and slowly or speedily poison their systems. The unlicious odor of other nauseates the passers-by, but the murdeous boo-legger enjoys an amusing immunity. Commissioner Furight's order has come none too soon. Haflem it literally drinking itself to death. However much one may long to hold Volstead in an iron grip and exact revenge, Haflem must cease committing suicide and paralyzing the brain of children yet unborn, and cooperate with the police in stamping out this serious, glaring menace to health and happiness. LEADING JAMAICAN LANDED PROPRIETOR COGENTLY EXPRESSES THOUGHTFUL VIEWS * Editor of The Negro World, Sir. In the matter of the trial of our rehabilitable Kidda, the Hon. Marcos Garvey, one of two things must happen as a result of his conviction, either the white man must surrender his permanent and unfounded claim of superiority mental and moral, to the black man, or stand convicted himself of the gravest injustice. Because, and the white man knows it, the elementary principles of justice are at once violated when he indicts, tries, convicts and punishes, as he has been at palms to prove, the unfortunate, irresponsible, inferior black man, by his higher moral codes, superior mental standards and finer intellectual endowments—self-attributed! Surely it does not need the chopping of any technical logic to show that the white man cannot, with justice and hope of merit, charge, try and convict inherent black inferiority by the higher standards and codes capable of practice only by his white inherent superiority. And it is the test and failure of his claim to superiority and proof of his equality when he does not. Equality must not be admitted. established before trial cap he conducted and punishment imposed with justice. If we are an inferior people, which we do not for a scintilla of an lota of a second admit, hence we are so lawabiding till forced by legitimate reasons to be otherwise, then justice demands that we be tried by an inferior code of morals and judged by lower mental standards, and if convicted, punished according to our consequently lesser responsibilities! Tried by the white man's standards is, to put it plainly, taking a mean advantage of us, and justice is thereby outraged! So that when Marcuss Garvey is sent to prison he goes, either as an inferior victim of white oppression (or ignorance?) or a rightly convicted equal of the white race—which will the justice-dispensing white man accept? Is he inferior as a social being and only equal for correction and chastisement when charged and convicted by white superiority (or is it supremacy)—which? As to the charge that Mr. Garvey had to defend himself against, it is my opinion, that apart from the rightness or witnesses of the actions, the liability or liability of the United States government judge's decision, you have in this case a fierce and deliberate conflict between massed white 'Anglo-Saxon power and the soul of one brave black man in the defense of the poor persecuted people of his race—nothing the white-rise need be proud of, and the government that prosecutes its good and conscientious 'reformers' because they will not agree to participate in the employment of 'said government's legislation as a guise for instituting social reforms which only tend to mark off the poor black wage-carner as belonging to a definitely service class—such a government cannot lay claim to political healthiness, or the favor of honest men. For who is the aggrieved party in this quarrel, I ask again and again without getting 'a reply—is it white or, is it black? What grievance has white against black? Let those who can answer me! Now what is the signal lesson to be leasen by, the black race from the results of this conflict that must some day end in disaster? Is it that the black man must recover possession of, or have restored to him, his native land —African, from which he was forcibly taken, there, according to the constituted forms of his government, authorized by God no less than that of the white man's whatever it may be, to be charged and tried and convicted and punished by his peers, which in the spirit of pride and conceit the white man says he is not and which in the spirit of charity I say he is, but that he cannot try him, as he is blinded by prejudice and not competent to give him justice, for it seems to me that the white man has wiltfully included in the list of what are crimes in common law any act of justice to the black man. I often ask myself how much more prejudice shall the white man exhibit for the black man, and how much more injustice inflict on him to convince us of hate and dislike of us, protest the white man never so loudly that he loves us with an abiding and an abounding love, to prove which he punishes us by his persecution of us individually and collectively, deservedly and undeservedly! Not to resent this unmerited persecution is to embolden the white man to contour in his civil ways with maybe dire results; for there comes a time when it is the bounden duty of an oppressed people to rebel; yes, it is so, let those who can contort it, and woe to those who before God create that rebellion and then pretend they are the innocent victims of it. Remember that hypocrisy is the national characteristic of the Anglo-Saxon race, and some of those whom they govern, body and soul, have imbibited it. Let us, therefore, be wise and right now put our black heads together and determine to prevent the infliction of any further impressions on us and work closely together to try and bring to a speedy end those we now so patiently endure. Come! Corporate organization is our only salvation! Yours for racial equality for justice's sake only. ARNOLD J. LECERNE. Berg Walk, Jamaica, B W L. July 31. CHARACTER AND COMPETENCE TELLS he will continue to be Devoted one in the world in pre- ference to those who then or after they pay to be anything less than a person in the mind of whose people he who loves the multitude will cease the foot before the will will be disposed. Negues who hope enters the respect of other people will have to prove by their work and so that they love themselves or burden homes with the character and capacity to give continuing proof of their self respect to mankind everywhere and at any time. Only a dignate notorius will do otherwise, and the bird does not deserve the respect of anybody on earth. Chalk white, cool black, high brown, orange yellow or red Negroes of America are all in the same boat. They must row up stream together, forgetting color as a bar to achievement as a race. They must think of themselves as Native Americans according to the interpretations of the white man, but should never forget that they are human beings; one they are a group of many colors and bloods. Color means nothing without character and competence behind it. Neither can money change a race or any individual of a race. All races of all colors and all races must go up or down together in America, only the foolish think otherwise. Any individual resting his hopes of happiness upon the social inferringing of the races during this generation is a mental wanderer. And any deciphering themselves in believing color is a mark of virtue, character, fitness and competence are committing the rankest of all mental follicles—self-deception — Pittsburgh American. SIGNIFICANCE OF A: NAME Editor Negro World:—As a boy I used to enjoy enthusiastically the pros and cons of the theory of "what is in a name?" and it is only now as a young man that I have begun to understand its true significance, especially since I read those two speeches of the Rev. Dr. Moses. For some time in the history of the Negro the letter S seemed to have held the greatest symbolical significance. It stood for Savvagery, in which state our overlords boasted that they found our ancestors and were able to successfully bring them into Slavery, seemingly without the least resistance. The second stage seemed without a doubt to have been worse; and our Sufferings were such that we, wondered if there would ever have been any Salvation. And God in His infinite mercy and His great desire to us the fullness of His blessings which He intended us to have from the beginning, and which His most wicked children had deprived us so long, and since He knows that the en- BRUCE CRAFT'S COLUMN Despite the fact that the dog days are upon us, Herr Dean Pichotts, the delightful four-and-seven man of the Alphabetical Association, continues to struggle with the truth with pessimistic frugality and a guffaw, touching upon and appertaining to the Universal Negro Improvement Association and Marcus Garvey. His recent fulminations in an obscure magazine, which seems to be hard up for reliable news, is almost as full of inaccurate statements as a colander is of holes. But Pickens is glutton for notoriety, and he does not seem to especially care for facts any more than does the University of Copenhagen "doctor," who is often afflicted with a diarrhoea of words, and seems to have forgotten that the Good Book says: "He that exalteth himself shall be abased." "Old Doc. Cook." of Arctic fame, knows how it feels to have laurel wreaths jerked from the brow of a conquering hero—who also is a conscious liar, and to be compelled to return gold medals struck in his honor in commemoration of fame never performed. It must be a "great and glorious feeling" to be a corn doctor minus the parchment to prove one's claim. "Dr. Harrison has brains enough to make his way in Harlem and the Wall street section as an intellectual phenomenon without taking a title which he cannot successfully defend, and of which there is positively no record in Copenhagen. Hubert, "go alm at litter hearts, thy skill is baffled here." If the maxim false is one thing, false in all, holds good, what does this make Hubert but an ass in a lion's skin? --- And ye shall hear of wars, and rumors of wars, see that ye be not troubled for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet (St. Matt.) For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be famine and pestilence and earthquake in divers places, see that ye be not troubled, for all these things must come to pass, says St. Mark, confirming Matthew's statement. How then can we have peace and disarmament of the nations if we must have wars and all the horrors attend upon them? Matthew and Mark both in agreement upon the subject, and it is a safe guess that we shall continue to have war and rumors of war until war becomes a reality from which there will be no escape. ```markdown ``` I have recently found great pleasure and profit in perusing three practical works of a Boxbury poet, George Reginald Margeson, a brilliant young West Indian gentleman, who has a wonderful breadth of vision, and a masterful command of the king's English. The first of these brochures is a thirty-five page pamphlet entitled England in the West Indies; it is a strung appeal to England in the West Indies as a "neglected and degenerating empire," for a full measure of justice to the islands who; Long, long our sufferings at thy feet hive laim. Still do then linger to relieve our pain. Long last thou housed and fed thy neighbor well. And let thine own dear children taste of hell. The American style of the room, and the author's tone, with its use of often abrupt and product of tyranny and compulsion, him to read on Mr. Margotton in a point of indignation or humiliation. England, hast thou forever turned thy mind. Against thy strife in child whose strength shall die Thy royal crown with fortune whose flowers That placed the foremost in the ranks of powers. Will then not stop to hear thy subject speak. Cannot then not recognize its pallid check. It is thine own thy long forsaken child. Thy negligence its beauty hath deplored. "England in the West Indies" is a strong, victorious, clean out argument of the mother country for its one of omission and commission in the lands and a bitter protest against a contempt of the worms and impurities which its people have suffered of the hands of alien overcrowds and masters for hundreds of years. It is a meaningful poem and one does not need to inquire why the protest. A non-affordable population in any country need not look for, nor expect. slavery of the body tends to crush the very soul which He sent His Son to redeem, it seems expedient that to complete the task which man has so heaped upon Him that He should hand down to us and to posterity that "I" which comes in the personality of Marcus Garvey the precious gift of God" as a liberator to the most oppressed people in His world. Yours etc. R.H. 135TH ST. LIBRARY NOTES An "Evening of Song" will be held at the library Friday evening, August 17, at 8:30 o'clock.

New Books For the young folks: Not much for the older people has come in during the past week, but many good books for children and young people are on the shelves or in preparation. Parents, sow is a good time to visit the library with your children. to get justice at the hands of a great man and powerful ruler, as in thief and tradition. To it the ary justice is the colonies of Great Britain is atriving in India, in Africa, in the West Indies and wherever the Union Jack floats and the white man rule. The underdog will ever strive to reach the top, but—as in America, so in Great Britain. East will be East and West will be West and "never the twain shall meet" on terms of equal and exact equality. The men and women in Britain and America who are not of pure Anglo-Saxon origin are different, and can never hope to attain to relative position with the governing and controlling race in either country between whom and themselves there can never exist the feeling of true brotherhood nor the mutual desire for social equality. Mr. Marsetson has wrought well in his England and the West Indies; it is the sorrow song especially of the black West Indies, the burden bearers who, in the halcyon days, made these islands to blossom as the rose, and the plantera to dream dreams no mortals ever dared to dream before. "Song of Life" is the title of another of Mr. Margeson's offering to the refined tastes of all lovers of good poetry. Of this book: the Boston Transcript, the most literary of all the literary publications in New England, says: "There is a modern note of realism sounded fh this remarkable volume which shows courage as well as imagination . . . we unhesitatingly commend these poems to the reader's attention and promise him that he will find in them a unique delight." I can add no merit in commendation of this collection of readable and clever verse other than to say that there are 56 of these poetical gems and that each of them is well worth the time given to its perusal and study. Some years ago round Boston way, there was organized a society called "The Poetry Society," which was to be exclusively for the use and benefit of real poets. Its founder was to be the judge of the qualifications of its members, being himself at that time a sort of wet nurse for all the budding poets who split the atmosphere with their early spring offerings, or their heart balm, put up in allopathic doses, or in loose packages. This literary censor appraised and set a value upon these "fugitives" and each year assembled them in cold type in solemn conglave and following the old Roman custom, bestowed upon the worstest among them the sauriel wreath which victors sometimes grave and win for deeds worth while. But the censor, it appears, was over conscious; he was partial and only considered as worthy those who had broken through the barriers by his grace, and who had regarded him as the lord high knanbam of the English verse, the Grand Swatter of Swatters of the King's own; on these he bestowed his gracious favor and a smile, which begot for them the immortality which endures only for a period of years. One day a poet applied for membership in the Charmed Circle, submitting with his application a poem, and was rejected by the censor and crises. This got the poet's dander up and caused him to write a poem memorable for its little language, wit, humor, choreography and for having chided the climate of Massachusetts from amitrigid to tropical in the coldest month in the year. The Boston Transcript, the Detroit Free Press, the Boston Traveler and Rev. Chas D. Martin speak of the poem in the highest terms. The Transcript compares it with the work of the 18th Century English Satirists. The Detroit Free Press says: "Written in the Baroque manner." The Boston Traveler saying: "The Fledgling Bard and the poetry society," a goulish of poems by George Renald Margaret, but received and always to be treasured, but the truest of modern poets, bestir' poems may have been written, but few have been written with more sublime disdain for the monthly traditions of art. Free Verse has at last a worthy competitor. In the last verse of the prelude to this autobiography work the impudent author cavil: Oh if I were a critic learned and great. An exponent on literary art. And held within my hand the author's fate. And know how every theme should end or start. I would improve the author a thankless part. By placing on his words my lowest stamp To cheer the unhappy lot of hard or poet tramp-- This is the refinement of frony and will give the general reader some idea as to what kind of literary provender this little red-headed messenger has in his bag. I have read Dean Swift's prose, and poetry, and I am often reminded of a certain poem by him called the "Upstart" when I contemplate our literary geniuses, who have merely been dipped in a weak solution of accomplishments, and I have read every line of this poem, the Fledgling Bard, and the Poetry Society, and I confess that I found difficulty in deciding which of these artistic phrase majors most to admire the Dean or the Deacon. Both of them are past masters of the art of conveying in language the thoughts and feeling which occupied their minds when they set out to address a few pointed remarks to the party of the second part who had given them cause to take the offensive. Dean Swift's "Upstart" and Deacon Margetson's "Fledgling Bard and the Poetry Society" will endure to the resistible generations and will stick closer than Neesau's shirt to the Upstarts and Poetry Society of the University.

BRING TO NEGROES RIGHTS LIFTING THE BARRIER OF SERVITUDE By Miss Hilda Llewellyn cover our eyes, and the ends hanging down the back. Another way is to drape the veil loosely across our faces just below our eyes, covering the lower portion of the face and leaving the eyes exposed. The veil is caught up on each side of the hat just over the ears. Another way, if by chance we don't like that mode, is to gather the veil in a knot in the back of the hat, on the end of the blim, and let the front hang loosely under the chin, covering the neck. If your neck is inclined to be sunburned, or you are afraid of having sunburned, the latter is a very useful suggestion to wear a veil. Saahes are again being worn. All colors, and long. In the early spring, we were the string sash to pull our loose jackets and heavy wraps in with, but on our summer dresses they are of crepe de chine, satin, and sometimes velvet. The crepe de chine and satin mostly are worn in the same color as the sunder slim. They are dled in a loose bow with the ends hanging almost to the end of the skirt, either in the front or on the side. The side is most popularly worn, as it can be depended upon to look the best. Again we note the Egyptian effect in the small drapee urbana made of Egyptian colored silk or handkerchiefs. Some of them are very pretty—but be sure you look good in it before you wear one. --- Gloven as well as shoes show much originality this season, and it is a strange woman who cannot find a style to her liking. White kid ones with turned back gauntlets, faced with dark blue moire embroidered in a lighter tone of blue heads; fawn color, with gauntlets cut out to show the white leather lining; silk with embroidered cuffs, are but a few of the many seen. Another pretty conceit, which we see very much worn on the avenue, is the not allogather useful vanity cane. They come in all colors, to match the The development of one group of the human race has reached the highest point in the exercise of those powers generally conceded to man. The present century has seen, in every field, the highest achievement of man. The inferior groups of the human race marvel at the world's achieved by their rival. The high-powered railroads, auto-cars, expensive buildings, steam-run mills, aeroplanes, all pertain to recent growth and wonderful effort. Colored people who marvel at these products are to a certain extent duly impressed with them, and not a few believe this in due to a higher intelligence. It is a universal fact that immigration is the cause of civilization. When we pause to regard the works made by man it is hardly synonymous with the thought that in ages gone long ago there was nothing potable to man's account on earth. In those strictly primal times the provailing life was tribal government and the Ethiopian race on the whole is curious us to how this early form of government concerned us. Most of us are familiar with the story of the progress of the world as it had reached at the time we hear of the prowess of the Greeks. The Ancient Greeks This ancient pation was nothing else but a union of tribes from the hills and plains. The manner of dress was a great skin for the men and a simple drapery for the women. Tribes being nothing but a group of people in a settlement, all nations have had at some time or other tribal settlements in their countries. All tribes were headed by a chief, and upon the union of the tribes a king now ruled. The form of dwellings in these early periods was simple little huts, managed in a very crude fashion. Water was got from wells, grain was cultivated for sustenance, meat was got by hunting the wild animals when round the forest, and their skins went to keep warmth in winter, the children were no clothing. The immigration of one settlement to unite with another, for better food perhaps, or more safety from an enemy, caused these people to become friendly, with their new friends. Naturally, there was intermarriage which brought an exchange of customs, a uniting of ideas, and a general advancement, due to everyone wishing to give his neighbor as much useful information as he could. The great number of tribes thus uniting formed nations, one advancing with sure progress, perhaps, than another. There were no knives and forks, only common cooking utensils and digges being used, and if no other were to be not the ordinary mud flor r would suffice in these huts. The dwellers were usually provided with little low stools for chairs. There was always a little opening left in the legs of the but for the window. The Same Old Story This tribal form of living interests us as having existed in our own race as well as others. The same huts for dwelling, the same outdoor manner of living, the same crude customs, have prevailed with the Negroes in Africa as much as they have in Asia or Europe. Why, we ask, is not the African continent in the same magnificent advanced state as are the white races? The answer to this includes all the epochs in human events. A visible truth is that the continent occupies a part by itself in southern waters and is nearest Europe at the Isthmus of Suez. In those early times there was plenty of land in costumes, and the tops are receptacles for one's rouge, powder puff or lip salve. They are very smart, with a walking costume—of course one would not carry a cane with an evening gown. But, "mirabils dictu," I have been told that such an exhibition of bad taste has been seen in Black Broadway—or, to give it its municipal title, Lenox avenue. Have you a dress that looks sort of old to you, but yet perfectly good, or just won't look good anyhow? Try the new vesteau, or collar and cuff sets which are made of organdie and velle. Some of them are very pretty. I saw a particularly pretty set made of white organdie, the collar was shawl-shaped and fitted closely in the neck. Puritan fashion, extending over the shoulders, with wide muckketor cuffs, pigot-edge, with black grograin ribbon half an inch wide running through a beading in the center of the collar and cuffs. And another was made of white volle with a vestee of a succession of little frills down the whole front. Indeed, they add to an unattractive dress. Try it and see for yourself. And in the way of heads, colored heads are still very much the vogue. They remain large but are not worn as chokers, the new ones being very much longer. The reason, one beauty expert says, is because it is not becoming to all women; only the very beautiful can wear them with satisfaction. And, last, but not least, is another fad—the vanity case. Last season saw all kinds of shapes and styles. But the fad this season is a barrel-shaped vanity case covered with dull-patterned silk, with a mirror of generous proportions—and then—when fashion has said and we have done—the dainty, all-black shoe worn with lustrous, matching hoes is the most perfect footwear of them all, since it is always the perfection of good taste. Even perfection in harmony can be no more. TO NEGROES RIGHTS BARRIER OF SERVITUDE Wilda Llewellyn the European continent, and more than enough room for tribes and settlements to spread and grow, so the group of people inhabiting Europe devoted their primitive years to its progress. But this method of culture was kept from the blacks because there were none of the race inhabiting any other part of the globe to carry any ideas to the mainland of Africa. The Primitive Period Neither were there any black races outside of the continent to come and units in intermarriage. The great necessity, sufficient land to house everybody, was not felt in these, the early days of Europe. This makes apparent the fact that in this primitive period there were no foreign groups inclined toward moving to Africa. No intermarriage, no innovation of ideas by foreign tribes, and Africa has been left far in the background. It is the delight of earnest and patriotic colored people to connect some of the fine exploits of Egypt with the ingenuity of the black people of that era. It is stated as an historical fact that many of the successful ventures undertaken by the ancient Egyptians were brought victoriously to an end by their help. The splendor of Egypt has been widely spread as she ranked in the olden days. Egypt was governed by a mixed race. She did not influence the tribes of the continent to any great extent, with the exception of a few nearest her, as Nubia. These countries are cut off from the more southern ones by the Great Desert of the Sahara. The valley of the Nile has always been a gathering place of the nations. At this time was the one center in the entire continent that gave off any advancement who it was brought into contact with the small nations around, as A suan, Ethiopia, Nubia, etc. These surrounding black tribes received to a great extent the culture of Egypt. As this Egyptian land was to the north, it was only a few days' journey from the extreme south of the adjoining continent to cross to her over the narrow strip of land forming the isthmus. Her continued exchanging of customs and habits with her steadily increasing merchants, who came in great numbers to dispose of the war wars, kept her at first height among the nations. We can readily see that these black countries which had the beneficial contact with I sold out; send me another order at once, is what all our agents are saying.

The Wonder Man of Today The situation is apparent that owing to the hindrance caused by the inability to cross the desert, those many and roaming black tribes of the South received none of the advanced life of the North. Now the defenders of Negro bravery and glory have these accomplishments of which to boast. Certainly Egypt would never have obtained her heights in fame and glory did she not have the hand of the black man to help her. The style of Egyptian buildings combined with their preponderance in structure shows well the activity the blacks played in this civilization. It was these simple workers who in their endeavors used the natural rock to continue their tasks, and who it is quoted carried these rocks uphill, when it is the wonder of man, of to-day how it could have been done without the well devised crane and other needy accessories. This advancement unluckily was not carried across the border. When Rome at that time brought Egypt long maintained power it end, to the exact time it brought to an end and the onward progress of the nearby black countries. It was not until recently that whites in need of labor, turned their eyes toward unoccupied black men and taught them agree and there how to adapt the requisites of civilized life. These men today are interested in the new world around them and have through burdens and mighty problems come to the present day when all of us are trying to see which is the best life to emulate. There are many Negroes who are proud of their record in this country. How many men in their conversations do not point with pride to the brave exploits of colored men who were present at so many engagements.

We may say we should have a school advocating social arts and other refinements, instead of one which teaches our children to wash and scrub. The time and place must be taken into consideration. This school, which taught many to labor in this way, has not been much out of the way, because many colored girls and youths, getting, a sincere educational program, finish up their learning by pulling an elevator rope or doing a "day's work." It is absolutely clear to everybody that such an education is not needed to do these trades. Join the U. N. I. A. The colored people of today have higher ambitions than they had in the past. The avenues and fields of competition engaged in by the white races have given them desires to enter the same. Wide-awake, alert and earnest people are turning their efforts toward greater achievement; these are the people whose determined unity will lead us to the goal. Those of you who are anxious to contribute your hit toward the stabilizing of racial strength and power are urged to join the Universal Negro Improvement Association. This group of brave and courageous colored people are uniting their efforts to obtain these gifts for their race. No past movement of any kind ever brought up before Negroes has ever included in its entirety all the desires and objects of this race. There is not one desire or aspiration that any colored person may have of any kind that is not included in this timely attempt of colored people to better their position now and all through the future. It is the first organization ever having made the attempt to bring to Negroes those rights and privileges which will lift them from the barrier of servitude.

Splendid Gatherings, Stirring Speeches and General Enthusiasm Mark the Proceedings in This Oversea Branch of Our Great Organization What may be truly regarded as the most unique and significant parade that ever took place in the City of Hamilton or in the Colony of Bermuda, at that, in so far as organized associations are concerned, came off on Thursday, Aug. 3, when the local division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League staged its first parade. Wednesday, August 1, was devoted to thanksgiving and dedication services, and to a local convention held at the Church of God, at which Rev. E. B. Grant, general president, is pastor. During the morning delegates came from all centers, and a most attentive gathering of members and friends listened to a most instructive and inspiring sermon on the subject "Training for Service," by Rev. E. B. Grant. The convention followed closely upon the morning service, and brilliant addresses were delivered by the Hon. High Commissioner, Dr. R. H. Tobitt; Edward Burgess, president of the St. George's Branch; Mrs. W. Payter, lady president of same; Seward Smith, president of the Crawl Branch; Miss A. L. Burgess, ex-lady president of the St. George's Branch, and lady president of Brooklyn Division, New York, and others. The U. N. I. A. choir, under the direction of Charles Smith, choirmaster, furnished the music, and rendered same in a very creditable manner. Miss Bell presided at the organ. At the evening session the church was crowded to its utmost capacity with members, friends and sympathizers of the U. N. I. A. At this session the beautiful banners and ensigns seen next day in the parade were solemnly dedicated in the midst of a serious congregation by Rev. R. H. Tobitt, who wore his Episcopal robes on the occasion. Triumphal Parade Thursday, August 2, dawned beautiful and bright, the sun shone out in resplendent beauty, gliding the east with beneficent splendor. In the foremost members from the Eastern and Western districts were seeth wending their way to Hamilton City, the center of attraction. By a pre-arranged program, all concerned were in marching order at 1:30 p.m. after having previously gathered at Alaska Hall, which was too small to hold the members who had come together. ... The line of march was Court Street via Front, Queen, Church and Burnaby street, Along Codar, avenue to the Antillean Creeke Field, where the grand street was built and decorated with the Union Jack and the Star, and Stripes, with the U. N. L. A. flag, the Red. Black and Green, in the middle. The. Procession Heading the procession was the commander-president, Rev. B. H. Grant, uniformed and mounted on a fine bay charger, next came the artistic lore green silk banner, beautifully framed and draped with the colors of the U. N. L.

Bermula Division No. 61, 1920-1923. This banner was the handiwork of Mrs. R. H.

Miss Goater, Mrs. Lowe, Mrs Frederick, Mrs. Morris, the Misses, Tobitt and others willingly assisted with the smaller banners.

Mounted on a grey charger was Colonel Morris, of the Legiona, who was the marshal in charge of the parade. The main banner, carried by officers Astwood and Mills, men who stood over six foot three, flaunted in the breeze while the cords to keep it in check were held by the Misser Butcher and Grant. Next came the Boy Scouts and Girl Guides of Hamilton and Warwick, under Lieut. Gordon, from the London (England) Division, and Signal Master Prince of the Bermuda Division. The U. N. I. A. Silver Band, in their unique uniforms, came next and were immediately followed by the most appealing picture in the parade, the Black Cross Nurses of Hamilton and Warwick, under the respective leadership of trained nurses Lindsay and Smith and bearing a beautiful white-satin banner trimmed with black and bearing the motto in black letters, "We Live for a Purpose." This banner was made by Mrs. Hammond Tucker, of Warwick branch, and borne by the secretary of the nurses, Miss May Tobilt. After these came the honorable Advisory Board and the trustees, the latter bearing the charter. The general membership, on foot, was next in order, carrying white ensigns with significant mottoes, such as: "In God We Trust, and By Him We Live." "God Gave Us Africa." "Africa Gave Civilization to the World." "Africa Shall Be Free." "Ethiopia Is Stretching Forth Her Hand to God." "We Educate and Uplift the Masses." "We have buried the Old Negro with His Wishbone." "We Have Raised the New Negro with a Backbone," etc. The Juvenile Corps carried the motto: "We Are the Men and Women of Tomorrow." In the van were also carried the following mottoes: No. 1. "God Save the King." in the middle of a life-sized portrait of H. M. King George and a large Union Jack. No. 2. "God Bless Our Leader, Marcus Garvey." in the middle of a life-sized portrait of the Hon. Marcus Garvey and the Incorporated national flag of the Negro race, the Red, Black and Green. No 3. *Long Live America* between a life-sized portrait of the late President Lincoln and the Star Spangled Banner. After the members on foot came the curruages bearing the highest official, the Hon. R. H. Tohitt, High Commissioner of the Provinces from Bermuda to South America, and the local officers. The parade, after passing the ground, assembled in perfect order on three sides of a square before the stand, when a few brief speeches were delivered, after which the procession returned to the hall for dignitary. A Fine Closing The evening soiree and band concerts was a great success, and the hall was literally filled to overflowing with a happy throng. The speakers of the evening were the Hon. H. G. Hill, M. C. P., and the Hon. Commissioner Tobitt. Among the invited officials to the stand in the evening was the American Consul, William P. Kent, Esq., but prior to his leaving for the field the sad intelligence of the death of President Harding reached him by cable. The Bermuda Division takes this opportunity of offering their sympathy to the American nation for their great loss. Mr. Hill's speech was highly appreciated and was full of enthusiasm and encouragement for the members of the U. N. L. A. Commissioner Tobit said that the U. N. I. A. was determined to go on because the race was now fully awakened to their potentialities and realized that they were endowed with certain malenable rights among which were liberty, life, and the pursuit of happiness. The meeting was brought to a close with the singing of the national anthem. CESPESEDES DIVISION REORGANIZES CESPESEDES DIVISION REORGANIZES August 7, 1923.

WUPPERMANN 12 East 40th St., New York City Distinguished Workers Whose Names Will Adorn Our Honor Roll THE NEW YORK TIMES WILLIAM WARE, President Cincinnati Division With a view of infusing greater interest in the divisions of the organization, we propose publishing in each issue of The Negro World portraits of Presidents and other leading officers along with a short biographical sketch of their work in adagining the cause of the U. N. L. A and its aims. We start this week with the Hon. William Ware, President of the Cincinnati Division. Mr. Ware is a man worthy of the respect and high esteem in which he is held, not only in the Middle West, but also in the Eastern States. Of a striking personality, a sound thinker, and an unassuming manner, he impresses all those who come in contact with him with his sincerity and profound faith in the ability of the U. N. L. A to carry out its principles. The Cincinnati Division was organized by Mr. Ware in September, 1929, at his residence, 927-Barr Street, and 47 members were enrolled at that meeting. Under his capable leadership the number now stands at 6,500, and with the exception of two or three, the officers remain unchanged from the inception of the work. Thus, the Lion Division is known and diversely so as the parent body of the West. President Ware has been a tower of strength to us, and whenever his assistance has been required by the parent body he has always given with a beautiful hand. His division is a thriving one, whose business methods are as sound as they are successful. And for that there is a reason. "The Negro is part of the great people of the world, and he has been recognized by all, leading future from the creation. Many of our supposed leaders are fighting for the aliphantic dollar and to get on the payroll, regardless of the manner in which they get there. Some of our people love to have money, love to die well, and love to be in society but are very little for their character and the way they act in man. To make a successful leader and lead to victory you must be trained from your mother, womb and be born again and with right up before you, and get an education and use it in the right place and the right time. In education had not been of any importance and that is why we would have more trouble today. The trouble today is that we haven't men and women enough to stand for our rights and for the rights for the women, but we must make the opportunity we have and walk right up before people, and this will be the core of bringing our people to a higher standard of life." This present thought then gives an utterance of Mr. Wade has for it: "Knowside, 'Character.' And it is by high character, the character, something strangement washes, and a character that makes him the able leader he deserves and can overcome a position that I possess."

HIGH COMSA TABITT ON VISIT HERE GETS WARM WELCOME Tells of Good Work Being Done in His Territory Overseas The Right Hon. Dr. R. H. Tobitt, High Commissioner of the Eastern Provinces of the West Indies and South America, with Colonel G. A. Morris, of the Bermuda Legions, who is on a visit here, were at Liberty Hall last Wednesday night, and in a speech with telling effect eulogized the loyal and constructive work of the Bermuda Division, which he had the honor to organize in March, 1820. When on Tuesday night the presiding officer, the Hon. G. E. Carter, announced Dr. Tobitl to be the speaker of the evening on the following night, expectancy and interest ran high, for many realized in him one of the most loyal, efficient, sacrificing and courageous leaders of the organization since its early existence, while others had read and heard of his achievements in his field of operations in the cause Africa. In the absence of Rev. Carter on Wednesday night the Hon. P. L. Burrows, late of Trinidad, presided. He made known the request of the Hon. Marcus Garvey that Liberty Hall should be draped and everything done to pay respect to the memory of the late President Hailgard on the part of the U. N. I. A. Each speaker paid tribute to the American chief, in who passed to the great beyond. Among those called upon to deliver preliminary addresses was Colonel Morris, of Bermuda. In his remarks he touched upon the grand parade organized and held in Bermuda on August 2. by Lee High Commissioner, Dr. R. H. Tolstoy, and had the audience in good humor when he stated that for the first time in his life he rode a horse with full confidence in his safety under the auspices of the U. N. I. A., although prior to his becoming a member of the organization he rode a donkey, which gave him a most disgraceful fall before high officials of the colony. He complimented the Liberty Hall audience for its splendid decum, and said he had found them generous in giving him a headdress, although he was no orator. Mr. Morris paid high compliment to the Hon. Marvin Garvey, of High Commissioner Tobtit, and President Grant, of the Bermuda Division, and the people of Bermuda as a whole. The speaker of the campaign, the Hon Dr. R. H. Tebbit, was then introduced and presented the speech. Actually, leading the warm welcome, he proceeded him, the speech of the audience, with muscular feel of motion, and that he stood before them. He continued to speak, still full of excitement to the brow of the face. American women in the heart of the country were in a constant time a watch when the President of the United States held a speech, the series of the world, percolate in the second matter of the day, seconds with record to the last that the brave pro- motion of American women and the commitment of the U.

He mentioned the fact that since the imprisonment of our leader the membership in Bermuda and other parts of the West Indies has increased by千里 and bounds. The commissioner then gave a graphic picture of the grand panda, held on August 2, of the psychological effect of same on the people, irrespective of race or color, to the advancement of our cause. The various meetings on the ensigns and banners were sermons in embryo, and went to prove the full determination of our people to carry on the work despite the many obstacles thrown in the way by enemies of the organization. In concluding his address Dr. Tobit threw down the gauntlet to the enemies of the U. N. L. A. and A. C. L. informing them that when they find it possible to bail dry the waters of the vast ocean or to stop its circulation around the globe, when they can count the sands upon the seashore or number the myriads of stars in the heaven, when they can weigh the mountains on scales and the hills in a balance, when they can hold the mighty wind in their fists and still the raging storms, yes, when they can quench the fiery dark of hell, then, and only then, they will be able to destroy the Universal Negro Improvement Association and quench the spirit of Garveyism. He then called upon the audience in token of their determination to put the U. N. I. A. program, as given by the Hon. Marina Garvey "over the top," to join him heartily in the "U. N. I. A. Caj." instituted by President Pettiford, of the Detroit Division, at the convention last year. No sooner said than done, and Liberty Hall, the forum of New Negro thought and Inspiration, echoed and re-echoed the call: "U. N. I. A., U. N. I. A., onward, upward, of the top. Garvey!" Dr. Tobitt, who is scheduled to speak again on Sunday night on his way among the Bush Negroes and aborted of Dutch Guiana, retired amid leaf-ening applause.

WORK BEING DONE IN CHICAGO E.H. W. KIRBY AND A LOYAL, ABLE GROUP OF HARD-WORKING OFFICERS Women's Work in the Division Has Also reached a High Standard of Efficiency Under Mrs. Lambert and Her Coadjustors The Chicago Division is making rapid strides to put the program over in that city. This division is being led by H. W. Kirby, formerly of Washington, D. C. Mr. Kirby, who is a Howard University man, was from boyhood a strong believer in his race. He contends his race is the equal of any if it will only seize the opportunity and get things that make equality, namely, government, wealth and power. Hence, when the Universal Negro Improvement Association came on the scene he gave up his government position at Washington and became a delegate to the first International Convention of Negro Peoples of the World and was among the first to sign the Bill of Rights at that convention. Mr. Kirby able championed the cause of the U.N.A. in Washington, and with his program invaded all phases of Negro life. He built up a central division and three chapters raised the circulation of the Negro World from 30 copies to about 900. Mr. Kirby was transferred to Chicago in November, 1921, because of the turmoil in Division No. 23 at that time, and because of Mr. Garvey's faith in his ability to bring order out of confusion. He united two or three factions which had kept away the good members of the organization. The debts were simply staggering and amounted to more than $23,000. Mr. Kirby immediately reduced the overhead expense to about 50 per cent, adjusted, the contract of their property. Since which time he has paid $8,000 on the property and taken title to same in the name of the U.N.A. & A. C. L. Mr. Kirby did not change a single officer of the division. He simply went in and convinced them that he had come to take their advice and to the best of all concerned. that time there have been great peaceful changes among the officers, and Mr. Kirby boasts of having the best group of officers to be found among the many officers of the organization scattered all over the world. With these he is determined to put over the program in Chicago, and hopes that all other divisions will do likewise. Mr. Kirby holds that this is the only way that Africa can be redeemed, with these bases of operation Mrs. B. J.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 18, 1923 RUDOLPH SMITH SCORES A SUCCESS IN PITTSBURGH, PA The visit of the third-vice-president, the Hon. Rudolph Smith, to Liberty Hall, Pittsburgh, was a great treat to lovers and contenders for Negro liberty. Large crowds turned out to hear him every night of his eight-day stay. The largest and finest auditorium in the city was secured for him on the afternoon of Sunday, August 7, where an audience of about 1,000 was held spellbound during the program. The Hon. Rudolph Smith speaks in its own way, which differs from meat speakers. All who heard him say he speaks bravely and sincerely and with great pen and ginger. In fact, he goes about it in such an earnest way that many say he is one of the hardest workers for the cause coming this way. He not only made the Negroes of the city burn with patriotism, but he taught us many things that we have never known concerning affairs of different peoples of the world. His knowledge of current events and human affairs show him to be a man well informed as to the political, social, and economical conditions of all races. Mr. Smith pointed to the critical race problem confronting the world, the part that the Negro plays, and the part that the Negro will play in the new world after the weaker peoples have fully asserted themselves. He showed the great works of Marcus Garvey, his hardships and his triumphs. The meeting was attended by many opponents of our great leader, but after carefully showing and explaining the true side of Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association, it was plumply seen that the sentiment of those who have rejoiced at the unjust frame-up and persecution of the greatest Neo-CO leader the world has ever known had been changed. Rudolp. Smith has done Pittsburgh a great good, and we highly appreciate a man of this land, who does not work on the ordinary characteristics of the Negroes, but teaches them some good, common sense. Referring to Mr. Smith's work, the Pittsburgh American the leading colored paper of Penguins, had the to-day: The Honorable Rudolph Smith of world travel and teacher of international reputation. He is familiar with the history, religions, social and economic conditions of Negroes the world over. This is the first time Pittsburgh people have ever had the opportunity of seeing and hearing one of the most interesting Negro speakers of international note, and most of theirism is being manifested throughout SPECIAL PARENTS TO ALL DIVISION TERS EVEN To the Officers and Members of the Plant Association: It has come to our notice that President-General a few days ago designed to create state in the department over the things that they consented-General was actively in harm.

The complaint is based upon conditions alleged to exist in the apartment house at 434 West 16th street, which is leased by the William Cooper Realty Company, a corporation composed of Negro stockholders. It is charged in the complaint that conditions in the sixteen apartments of the house have made the rooms almost uninhabitable. The association claims the roof leaks, plumbing is in very bad condition, painting, papering and cleaning needed, walls and ceilings in danger of falling, and that there is not sufficient water pressure to flush the toilets. In one instance, the complaint states, a door in an apartment fell from its hinges, severely injuring a Mrs Anderson, who lay there. The letter claims there are 100,000 worse cases of official negligence in Greater New York, especially among the houses occupied by colored people. The house mentioned in the specific complaint is also rented by whites. The demand for compensation, Money, removal says in part: "There is no desire on the part of the association or myself, as its chairman, or as president of the Federation of Tenants' Associations of Greater New York, representing through its allied association some 3,000,000 tenants, to embark on your administration modality for any act of omission IT.

It would vividly compure up danger of international relations: being affected in a manner threatening—to use the words of the eleventh article of the covenant of the League of Nations—to disturb international peace and the good understanding between nations upon which peace depends." $500 Reward If I Hait SPECIAL PRICES TO DRUGGISTS AND AGENTS NOT Extraor To the M Friends of the Negro Impro sociation.

Si el señor Quezón, presidente del senado, viene a los Estados Unidos a presentar su caso ante el presidente tendrá que confesar un persistez esfuerzo de parte de los políticos-filipinos, por nulificar la ley Jones que regula el gobierno del archipiélago. Ese esfuerzo contaba con la plena simpatia del exgobernador general Harrison, que tenía patias-independentistas y estimulaba a la legislatura a tratar de reformar la ley Jones y de usurpar el control de la administración insular. Nuestra Raza Lamenta Universalmente la Muerte de un Gran Leader Americano—El Fué Nuestro Amigo é Hizo Cuanto Su Medio Ambiente le Permitió Hacer—Su Discurso en Birmingham, Estado de Alabama, Será Para Nosotros un Recuerdo-Impercedero—La Voz de Dirección Debe Ser Espiritual Si Esta ha de Beneficiar Permanentemente a la Humanidad Bajo el régimen Harrison la legislatura aprobó una resolución declarando que la ley Jones, cuando afirma en su cláusula 21 que el gobernador general, tendrá la supervisión y el dominio general de los departamentos y negociados del gobierno de las islas Filipinas en cuanto no sea contradictorio con las prescripciones de esta ley le quiere decir que ese control habría de ser ejercitado solo en asuntos de policía y no habia de extendirse a la administración efectiva. Según los independientes el gobernador general habia de reinar pero no gobernar, manteniendo así una situación análoga a la del gobernador general del Canada, que esta gobernador por un primer ministro y un gabinete de consejeros bajo el sistema parlamentario. La mano irresistible de la muerte se ha llevado de nuestro seno a Warren Gamaliel Harding, Presidente de los, Estados Unidos de America, y aquella voz clara que repercutió alrededor del mundo, se ha enmudecido para no ser escuchada jamás. Harding fué, a nuestro entender y apesar de opiniones contrarias, un verdadero amigo de la raza en cuanto respecta a las simpatias de que seamos objeto, de parte de miembros de las razas opuestos. Su discurso sobre la cuestión de razas en la ciudad de Birmingham, estado de Alabama, reveló su profundo sentimiento y le significó como un gran pensador sobre la psicologia universal. Mr. Harrison accedió ante este punto de vista. Pensó que la ley Jones mejoraria con una interpretación semejante. Se formó de consiguiente un consejo de estado, consistente de miembros del gabinete y de los presidentes del senado y la assemblea. Si el Presidente Harding no hizo todo cuanto su bondad de sentimiento le dictara a favor nuestro, fue por el hecho de haberse visto obligado a un sistema que le hubiera tomado una determinación extraordinaria, con la intención de impartir igualdad justificable. No solamente Harding, sino que cualquier otro Presidente ó director que prefiera complacer a sus intimidades y circulo en que rodee, en preferencia al deber humano manifestado por el oprimido, actuaria del mismo modo en todo cuanto afecte al derecho, a la libertad y a la justicia, sin detenerse a realizar el error en que hubiera incurrado. Este es el organismo que reunio io recientemente. Es desconocido para la ley Jones y es plenamente extralegal. La legislatura filipina no tiene autoridad alguna para alterar la ley orgánica aprobada por el congreso del Estados Unidos. La ley Jones se anuló a la constitución de los Estados Unidos muy estrechamente en su distribución de los poderes gubernamentales. No concede a la legislatura poderes administrativos de ninguna clase. Afirma en la clausilla 22: Harding no fue un Roosevelt, quien hubiera hecho lo que creyó materialmente justo, sin preocuparle la actitud de todos cuanto le rodearán. El Presidente Harding fue sumamente bondadoso, gentil y considerado para inteligente resentir la opinión pública con la introducción de cambios. Para hacer bien en general es imprecindible ofender la opinión pública. Ningún otro ejemplo podrá superar al presentado a la humanidad por el Cristo, quien n una vida de actividad pública, nos demostró que hacer bien era ofender y sufrir por constiguiente las consecuencias. La legislatura filipina puede en adelante por medio de leyes adecuadas aumentar el número o abolir alguno de los departamentos ejecutivos, o hacer tales cambios en titulos y atenciónes de los mismos que crea conveniente, y establecer el nombramiento y destitución de los jefes de los departamentos ejecutivos por el gobernador en cuanto, todas las funciones ejecutivas del gobernno esten directamente dentro de la decisión del gobernador general o de uno de los jefes de departamentos ejecutivos bajo la supervisión y control del gobernador general. Harding poseía un gran sentimiento de amor humano; su deseo era ver a todos los hombres libres y felices; el amaba la paz y la justicia; pero, no fue un Cristo; no fue un reformador. El fue un director en este siglo de ambición al derecho humano, sin arriesgarse a desatar los lazos establecidos por la opinión pública. La creación del consejo de estado violaba la clamalta anterior. La tolerancia por el gobernador general Harrison de la violación no la legalizó. Es esta flagrante usurpación la que el señor Quezón viene a tratar de explicar y justificar a los Estados Unidos. Si Dios es el autor de la creación; si las criaturas en el universo son sus hijos; si nos determinamos a dirijir por el hecho de que veamos algo mas lejos que aquellos que pecan y sufren, entonces es nuestro deber no solamente actuar como seres humanos, sino actuar como el Cristo, impatiendo justicia, amor y misericordia hacia todos aquellos que ven en nosotros los representantes del Gran Ser, quien ha de rigir por los siglos de los siglos por medio de sus agentes, sus hijos. Basta de Silencio Para que el hombre, elevado a la posición de director, maestro o ejecutor de la ley, teniendo bajo su jurisdicción a los hijos del Creador, no sepa que sus actos al regularizar el destino de sus semejantes deban ser basados en el alma y la conciencia de un Cristo, le hacen muy poco apto para servir a la humanidad y representar la divinidad de Dios. La carrera vertiginosa de los hombres hacia el alto pedal del trinfo no les permite detenerse a amabilizar. Hoy, cuando delemos dar nuestros pllos con mayor precaución, encontramos que a un hombre de gran determinación se le priva del derecho a su libertad, por el hecho de hacer en pro del adelante y bien estar general de su ataque. La dirección es un asunto que requiere gran seriedad y mayor responsabilidad; todos podemos ser guiados, pero todos no podemos guiar. Cristo fué el mas grande de todos: el vino al mundo en una nueva era y dió el ejemplo que debicramos seguir. Aquellos que dirijan después de Cristo, fracasarán, toda vez que no sigan las prédicas de su santa doctrina. La premia nos trae la infinita notation de que un juez de una nación quese prociama respetar la libertad de su juicio de todo cuidado con el prijeón al honorable Marcos Garvey, acosinde de baler defraudado a los elementos de su suzio. Donde estan los millones que pertenecen a la Aociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raz Negra? ¿Qué han hecho dosilos solute el particular? Porque no demostran a los que le acusan lo injusto de tall acusación? En la dirección de los asuntos humanos no dehemos confundir la vida espiritual con la vida humana. No podemos amar y odiar al mismo tiempo; no podemos ser misericordiosos y vengativos; no dehemos quitarle a Pedro para darle a Juan. Todas estas irregularidades podrán ocurrir si no hemos de dirijir, pero si tal misión es encomendada a nosotros, esta dehe ser ejecutada con toda la lealtad que el caso requiere, de lo contrario hemos de prepararnos a sufrir las consecuencias. En la batalla de la vida no siempre adquiere la victoria el más fuerte o el más activo; tatde o tempameneve aquel que se reviste de determinación. Abrigamos, el presentimiento de que muy pronto hemos de pase de un estado o condición a otro más favorable, y con el deseo de hombre entre los hombres, constituyimos comio, parte activa en el gran concierto de la vida. Wilson y Harding, en la dirección del pueblo americano, interpretaron a su mejor modo de entender el espíritu de la doctrina cristiana. Ambos llevaron la cruz a cuesta, pero temieron a la crucifixión; el uno desmayó al final de la jornada y el otro, por el hecho de que su vida y labor estaban en la mano del Creador, paso inesperadamente de esta vida a la otra. No cabe duda de que el Presidente Harding intentó grandes cosas en beneficio de la humanidad como director, pero su alma no se asimiló la del Cristo siendo justo a todos los hombres. Hoy se nos ha puesto otra interrupcion mas en nuestro camino de progreso; apartemoslo y continuemos por el sublime sendero hacia la felicidad. Ignorenos a nuestros enemigos gratitos que saborean el triunfo efimero de su villano proceder; ellos tendrán que venir sumísos haeia, nosotrio, conulgando antes en el altar del arrepentimiento. El encarcelamiento de nuestro honorable Presidente General en nada ha de afectar nuestra, aspiración de obtener una patria libre; una nación, gapaz de protejer y representar dignamente a los cuatrocientos millones de élentientes de la raza en el universo. Su encarcelamiento, he de repetir, en nada ha de afectar aj ideal de nuestra organización, cuo está sostenido muy en alto por su Cuerpo Directivo, bajo la instrucción directa del honorable Marcus Garvey, ha de llevarnos La responsabilidad de dirección en un mundo moderno después de Cristo es excesivamente grande y ninguno de nosotros, por nuestras imperfecciones, podrá ver la gloria de tal labor. En nuestros pecados de omisión, causados por la preponderancia de nuestro ser humano sobre nuestro espiritu, destruimos la bondad de nuestra labor, planteada indudablemente con el mejor desco de servir imparcialmente a la humanidad. Si hemos de ser justos para con nuestro semejante y así ganar el amor del Todopoderoso, la dirección en esta época contemporanea debe ser basada en el sentimiento espiritual; debemos siempre tener presente al Hijo de Dios y como El ser justos. De ese modo la mano de la justicia se extenderá hacia toda la humanidad en la muerte de nuestros directores, no solamente el hombre se condolecerá, sino que los angeles se regocijarán al ser admitidos en el reinado de una gloria eterna. avantes, impulsado por la fe y revestido de determinación y por verancia.

Condolencia del Comité Pro- Cuba por la Muerte del Presidente Al constituirse en Nueva York el comité Pro-Cuba que tan entusiasta laber de propaganda realiza en los Estados Unidos en defensa de su país, dirigióse directamente al entonces presidente Harding comunicándole su constitución y expresándole los deseos del comité cooperar al acercamiento de los dos países. Tres días más tarde recibía el presidente del comité, senior Leoncio Serpa, una comunicación -firinada por George B.

They sought the influence of the District Attorney's office to put us out of business. Edwin P. Kilroe, at that time an assistant district attorney, started, on the complaint of the Negro politicians, to investigate me, as also the entire association. His investigation led to many conflicts of words between us. "For eight or ten times Mr. Kilroe would constantly and continuously call me to his office for investigation on foreign and extraneous matters without coming to the point; the result was that after the eighth or ninth time, I wrote an article in our newspaper, The Negro World, against him, which was interpreted as criminal label, and for which I was indicted and arrested and subsequently dismissed on a retraction. "During my many trips with Kilroe the question of the Block Star Line was discussed. At that time we were collecting donations from the members of the Negro Universal Improvement Association to start the line, not knowing that it could not have been done legally that May. We had then collected about $200,000 or $100,000. "By Kilroe's threat we made investigations and found out through our attorney that it we deferred to run a staircase line we had to incorporate a separate company from the membership organization of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We therefore incorporated the Block Star Line of Delaware on June 1, 1920 immediately after that we acquired ship in September. We had to obtain it and digitize it. We found the original owner of the ship Mr. Hamm and a friend of the board held in the board." Mr. Hamm was appointed president of the association. ```markdown ``` $20,000 VERDICT FOR HIS DEATH Widow of Negro Railway Postal Clerk Gets Record Verdict Against the "Southern" ATLANTA, Ga., Aug. 2.

Jamaica Factory and Office LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday Night, August 12—The members of the New York Local, realizing that the eyes of the world are focused on them with a view to gauging the stability and permanency of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, are playing their part gamely and proving to the world that the association is here to stay, and that the principles of the movement propounded by the Hon. Marcuus Garvey have so permeated their hearts and minds that nothing can turn them aside from performing every age that will perpetuate the association and send the name of Marcuus Garvey ringing down the ages as the man who gave to the Negro an awakened soul and pointed him to the destiny which awaits him, united the world over into one solid confraternity, he can make a successful bid for complete freedom and autonomy on the continent of Africa, which is his by divine providence and inheritance. The unabating interest and enthusiasm which the thousands of people who throng Liberty Hall Sunday night after Sunday night is such as to convince the most skeptical that the Universal Negro Improvement Association wields the most potent influence for good among the Negroes of the world today, and that by it and through it the Negro race will once more come into its own and be reckoned with among the other races of the world. From all parts of the country and the world-comes the joyful, news that the inspiration radiating from Liberty Hall has been caught by the members and non-members of the association, with the result that the work is being carried on with more zeal than at any other time in its history. Small wonder, then, that the great leader, Hon. Marcus Garvey, though confined in the Tombs, Prison, temporarily removed from active participation in the work to which he has devoted his life, is cheerful and maintains a remarkable polite which evidences itself in the inspiring messages which emanates from him weekly, bidding his followers to take heart and carry on the work which he has given to them. His message read tonight by his wife Mrs. Amy Jacques-Garvey, as as follows: Garvey's Weekly Message Conveying Hope and Counselling Patience August 12, 1923. The Tombs Prison, Centre Street, New York City. To the Members and Friends of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, Liberty Hall: Gratefully do I thank you for the wonderful spirit you have shown in continuing and promulgating the work and ideals of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Nothing in the world affords me greater pleasure than learning of the spiritual earnestness of those of you who pledge yourselves to "hold the fort" of our ideals until our generations rise in their consciousness to the salivation of their own souls and the redemption of their own country. The wait seems long, and the distance is far, but nothing worth while is achieved in a day. Have patience, be strong and firm, and as surely as the night changes into day, so also shall our condition of oppression and wrong change into liberty and justice. Real members and co-workers of the association, as you are, make me feel that our time, energy and sacrifice are not in vain, but, a meagre contribution to a noble cause that shall live when all human opposition will have crumbled and the ashes of our enemies mingle with the duat. Time is eternal and the Everlasting Watchman, who stands at the Gate of Eternity, beckons to us; and we, in humble obedience, stretch out our hands as our "Princes rise from the dust of past ages." Why be sad? Have you not heard the news? It is not today, it is not tomorrow, but God knows when, and the time shall come when Ethiopia will be free and our race, redeemed. Carry on the work of love! Hold high the banner of the red, Black and green and stumble not until the Cape's silvery waters roll back the echo: "Ethiopia, thou Lord of our Fathers." Carry on! Carry on! Carry on! Is the wish and prayer of Universal Negro Improvement Association. The speakers tonight were Hon. William L. Sherrill, First Assistant President-General; Hon. R. L. Boston, Secretary-General; Hon. Thomas Anderson, Minister of Labor and Industry; Hon. P. L. Burroughs, First Assistant Secretary-General; Hon. G. E. Carter, Vice-President of the New York local, and Hon. R. H. Tohutt, Commissioner of the Eastern Provinces of the West Indies, Mr. Tobutt, who has just returned from the field of his activities, brought heartening news of the wonderful progress that the movement was making in the West Indies and South and Central America, where he said that the spirit of Garveyism prevailed, and the people were at one in their efforts to put the program over. A almost pleasing feature of tonight's meeting was the splendid response given to a call for funds to meet the expense of a delegate from the Universal Negro Improvement Association to represent the Negro race at the League of Nations conference to be held shortly in Europe. Announcement was made tonight of the celebration of Friday, August 17, as Garvey day, in honor of the thirty-seventh birthday of the President-General. The idea was heartily endorsed by the membership, who gave indications of their intention to celebrate the day in a manner that will give begging token of their respect and loyalty to the President General, Hon. Marcos Garvey. Following is the text of the speeches. THE NEGRO AS AN UNKNOWN QUANTITY "The first speaker was Hon. Peretval V. Burgherrn, Second Assistant President-General, who spoke on the subject: "The Negro as the 'Unknown Quantity in This Present Day Civilization.' As far ran it we could remember or trace back, he said, it was found that the Negro has played his part in the positive as well as in the comparative civilization of the world but in the present civilization today the Negro is an unknown quantity, having become so through the instrumentality of the indeterminate and inured leadership of Hon. Marcus Garvey, who has had the nerve to open the eyes of the Negro and not only the Negro, but the eyes of the entire World. The Negro is an unknown quantity because he has never been given the opportunity to prove his ability or his qualifications in the arts, in science, in literature, in romance, and in any of the branches, which other races have been permitted. But even with this limited scope once in a while we found individuals among us who had chiseled out little naches of fame for thgmselves in science, art, letters, etc. But today we are pushing, the old ideas of the Uncle Tom Negroes aside and are forging to the front. Marcus Garvey has made it pos- able for every human life, women and child to use their ability to the best advantage, and we are able to prove conclusively to the world today that we have men who have climbed the highest ring of the ladder in medicine, law, ministry, in politics, in art, science and every branch of human endeavor. A new civilization, the speaker predicted, will soon dawn upon the world—a superlative civilization; and since the Negro has played his part in the positive and comparative civilization of the world, he is capable to carry on and take care of the superlative civilization which shall soon dawn upon mankind. The world is beginning to realize that the Negro has not yet been tested, because when the test would have been made on the battle plains of Metz, when 175,000 Negroes were Cabout to be annihilated, the armistice came along. The world is awake to the fact that not having the opportunity to test the Negro, he becomes to them an unknown quantity. Let us then realize, he concluded, that each one of us has a certain task to perform in order that we may better prove to the world that the Negro, as an unknown quantity, will be able to present to the world a new and better civilization which will embrace the principles of the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God. HON, R. L. POSTON SPEAKS Hon. R. L. Poston was the next speaker. He had just returned from a visit to the Detroit Division and narrated his impressions of that division in regard to the work of the U. N. L. A. The division, Mr. Poston said, received him with open arms, and assured him that Detroit was 100 percent behind the movement. He loved the Detroit Division because the people in that division show you in all ways that they are behind the movement. If there was any fight in the division they put it aside upon that occasion; everybody seemed to be working one united whole for the realization of the arms and objects of this great organization. They not only showed it by their talk and by their actions, but they showed it by their finance. His recent trip to Detroit, said Mr. Poston, from a financial standpoint, was the most successful he had ever had since coming into the There was one thing that impressed him particularly during his recent trip and it was the speeches of some of the members they met on the field, and particularly the speech of a young attorney in Detroit by the name of J. Milton Van Low. Mr. Van Low brought it to his attention and to the attention of the audience that every colored leader in the world today who is fighting for the freedom of his people is in jail. He started off by mentioning Mr. Mc Gandhi of India, and then he mentioned Said Zagouf of Egypt, and last but not least, he mentioned the matchlea leader of the U. N. I. A., Hon. Marcus Garvey. (Applause.) That should mean something to us, and Mr. Pooston. We should receive that and give it more than a passing thought. Every honest effort to get for the colored race a place in the sun is interrupted by the scheming and exploiting white man who is determined to keep us at the foot of the ladder. Why We Follow the U. N. I. A. We follow the Universal Negro Improvement Association, he said, not because we feel the plan is a perfect one—nothing started by human agency is perfect, but we follow it because it is the only plan to exist in order to get our people absolute freedom. We do not even claim that our leader is perfect or his plan for redeeming Africa cannot be improved. But suppose we do not accept his plan, there is no other plan among Negroes or among the critics of this great movement. So that should encourage us to get behind the Universal Negro Improvement Association and make it what it ought to be—a great force for the liberation of the 100,000,000 Negroes of the world. He was very much encouraged to learn of the earthship manifested in Liberty Hall. There is one thing that he noted that, outside of New York, wherever the Negro World goes into a city the people devour trying to find out what is going on here at the New York local, and each time the members of the New York local deported the moctesque local and devout members of the Universal they sent the program just that far, because the rest of the world is looking up to New York for light and leading (Appehuse). NOTICE! To All Members and Divisions of the Pursuant to the authority vested in me as President General and Founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and because of my inability to attend the meetings of the attaches of the Association through my imprisonment, I hereby notify you that I have named and appointed the following person to office as the Executive Committee of Management of the Association until its next International Convention, when the proper election and nomination place will be held.

I have the honor to be. Your obedient servant. MARCUS GARVEY, President-General, Universal Negro Improvement Association. MON T. W. ANDERSON SPEAKS Hon. T. W. Anderson said: The papers recently have been filled with news concerning our late President Warren G. Harding. We all bowed our heads in grief when we heard of his passing. Of course, he had to pass, as we all must pass; but we grieve that he was stricken down in the noonday of his life, when his opportunity for usefulness had just come to him. The papers are now full of information concerning his successor, Calvin Coolidge. I want to draw your attention to the method of the white man. When one of his race is advanced to a high position, the first he does is to seek out his history and to find all the good things about him he can, and bring these good things to the attention of the world. He wants the world to realize that he is the best possible man for that job. The Negro, unlike the white man when a Negro is elevated to high position—especially the leadership of his race—the first thing we do is to look up his history and find out all the bad things we can about him and bring them to the attention of the world; we want the world to believe that he has no business leading, that there is something in his life that makes him unfit for leadership, although we may not be able to present a leader as capable as he is, we still insist upon his leadership being rejected. No wonder we do not get any further than we are and we will never get anywhere until we learn at least to emulate the white man in that respect—in making ourselves and others believe that our lenders are the best possible men in the world. Don't you suppose that Mr. Coolidge has some enemies? Yes, he has, but they forget that entity when he is advanced to the position of leadership, and we hear Senator Borah saying, "Give him a chance to make good." God grant that shall be the slogan of the Negro peoples of the world from now on: "Give Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association a chance to make good." All Races and Nations Have, Organized Most of the great nations and races of the world have had to organize to protect themselves. Going back to arent times we find the Jews in an organization known as Judahism. They had to organize because they were surrounded by other races and they had to organize to protect themselves, and they did it successfully. Rome had to organize in order to protect Rome and she did it so successfully that wherever a Roman went he was respected and looked upon as a force and power and every one bowed before the advance of the Roman people. The Grecians had also to organize to protect themselves and they organized so forcibly that when Xerxes came upon the plains of Marathon with his army, made up of all the races of the world. Greece was able to withstand him and hold on a few years longer. A few years later a new Negro movement came on the scene, founded by a man known as Mohammed for thirteen years no one believed in his movements except, he, his wife and his nephew, but finally his fellowmen began to believe in his movement and 100 years after Mohammed had died Mohammedism had conquered almost all of Europe, Asia, and was fast advancing into Africa and today no movement has as many followers at the Mohammedian movement. The English had to organize to protect themselves, the Russians had to organize to protect themselves, the Americans had to organize to protect themselves and at the Negro, after waiting for 30 ANNOUNCED EXTRAORDINARY Univer- Negro Impre- Association's The League BE A LIBERTY 120 West 130 NEW Y TUESDAY NIGHT At 8.30 To Attend Monster Mass for the Delegates to the Leagu Switzerland, Who Will Repr Universal Negro Improvem Negro Peoples A BIG NIGHT FOR EVER HEAR!

COME AND HEAR! COME AND SEE! BE EARLY TO GET SEATS years, a man came forth—a black man—and gave them an organization. The man was Marcus Garvey, the organization was the Universal Negro Improvement Association; and what other movements have done for other races this movement is going to do for black men, and we are asking you to have faith in the Universal. Negro Improvement Association and believe in it. In conclusion, Mr. Anderson made a plea for the support of Negro organizations and industries. "Develop your industries," he said; "make them worth while; that is what we are asking you to do. You cannot expect the movement to go forward and do nothing to make it go forward. The time is past for talk in this organization; we don't want big talk, we want big work, we want big deeds. We don't care how much you have done for the organization or how long you have been with it or what you have put in it, or what you once did for it. We want to know what you are doing for it now. We don't care what you did for it two or three years ago; we are calling on you now to do your duty, and we expect you to do it. HON. WM.' L. SHERRILL SPEAKS Hon. Wm. L. Sherrill was the next speaker. He said he was beginning to feel a little bit of the burdens that Marcus Garvey has felt for the last two or six years. He was beginning to understand more fully ever before that the job that Marcus Garvey has is indeed a big one. Although there are three officials carrying the same load, that Garvey carried himself, he (the speaker) felt his part of it. The task of leading the Universal Negro Improvement Association is no plaything; it calls for a real big man—not a man who says he is big or thinks he is big, but a real big man, and Marcus Garvey was that big man. "Lots of us" he continued, "think we can easily fill Marcus Garvey's place, and lots of its think we can easily fill Marcus Garvey what to do and how to do it. I want to tell you that Marcus Garvey has tackled a job that is too big for the average man; the men for such jobs as this must be made to order, and God makes them. (Applause.) I am afraid we do not know or appreciate as we should the value of Marcus Garvey to the race. I have been able to become more intimately in contact with Mr. Garvey himself since his imprisonment in the Tombs than ever before, and I have been more able to understand the greatness of the man and to read the deep sincerity and earnestness in his heart. I have high the privilege of going several times to the Tombs to see Mr. Garvey, and when I go in the Tombs he does not bemoan to me his fate—he is not worrying about his condition; he does not solicit the pity and sympathy of myself or anyone else who goes down there. Marcus Garvey is fervently and earnestly thinking, talking and working in the interest of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, although he is behind the bars. (Applause.) His biggest thought is: "How can I best serve my race while in the Tombs?" As I see him with all of his papers spread out on the table before him, just as used to be at 56 West 133th street, I wonder to myself what manner of man is this, who, although bound in chains and looking in the face of death perhaps, is thinking not of himself but thinking of the people God sent him to serve. I want to tell you that you will have to look a long way before you can find another Marcus Garvey. Men of his type come once in a long period of time. The best thing you can do—those of you who want to help Marcel Garreau— ACCEEMENT ORDINARY Universal improvement the Delegate to of Nations AT BAY HALL 388th Street YORK T, AUGUST 14 Sharp Meeting and Farewell to que of Nations at Geneva, present the Interests of the ment Association and the of the World ERYBODY. COME AND E AND SEE! --- COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT Universal Negro Improvement Assn. NOTICE! NOTICE!! NOTICE!!! The President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, on his tour of the nation, has been approached by hundreds of loyal members and will wish to the Association in complaints against the treatment they have received from several of the various departments of the Organization at headquarters, and from individual officers and employees at headquarters, as also against the conduct of certain Executive Officers whilst on the field. The President-General is grieved of the many complaints and hereby begs to announce that a Complaint Department is now established and attached to his office. All persons having complaints to make against any department officer or employee of the Organization will please write to P. S.—If you love the Organization and desire to see it improve service to the race, then you will not fail to report any irregularities the part of officials, officers, and employee of the Organization, serviced whom the person be if he or she has done anything improper or untidual report it. If you have any complaints send them in and don't wait until it is no later. is to keep up the great work that he started; to carry on the faith he entrusted to you; keep alive his spirit that is now roaming about among you, for if the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, for whom he has spent his energy and spilled his blood, turned back from the goal to which he has pointed you; it will be enough to grieve him to death in the Tombs. It is up to you to stand fast and hold fast to the organisation in order that when Garvey cones back again with flying color he can pick up this organization and go on toward a free and redeemed Africa. There are lots of critics who are trying to enlighten the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association as to what ought to be done, and what must be done at the time. There is a deal of information being given not only here in New York, but all over the country; and there is even in the organization some individuals who were hollowing "Garvey" when Garvey was out of the Tombs and able to defend and protect himself, who now think that they have the confidence of the people and are taking advantage of that Garvey's confinement to exploit the people for their own selfish purposes and gain. I want to say this to all the leaders and members of the U. N. I. A. : The people who have placed their trust in you have not placed your trust in you because of any particular faith or confidence they have in you; they have placed their trust and confidence in you because they think that you are absolutely loyal to the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Assn. and especially at this particular time to Marcus Garvey. The reason why the people support this President or that President, the Committee of Management or Members of the Executive Council in because they be- new you be willing to be the best of the organization and in harmony with Marcus Garvey. When they find out that you are not working in sympathy with the U. N. I. A. and in harmony with Marcus Garvey, the people are ready to let you down and out. (Applause.) I say that because I have just come from a tour over certain parts of the country and I find that there are some who have mistaken the people's confidence in them to be a personal compliment to themselves, and I want those who are managing the affairs of the organization in all parts of the world to know and understand that the individual members of the U. N. I. A. to a man are behind Marcus Garvey, and if you want to be on the right side, you had better stay with the Universal and Marcus Garvey. The Negro has implicit confidence in Garvey. A lot of these leaders who are attempting to take advantage of Garvey's imprisonment were here before Garvey came to America and had not done anything, but now they tell you what they can do. They are not going to do anything and the people know it. I had the pleasure of riding in company of Mr. Poston and the President and the Secretary of the Washington Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Assn in the funeral procession of the late President Harding at Washington. Perhaps you do not know it, but there we are excellent final design sent as a token of sympathy by this organization. We also took our place in the procession. The U. N. I. A is ready, willing and anxious at all times to do its part toward the great government and pay its respects to the Stars and Stripes. As has been said, we the members of the U. N. I. A are not amateurs but beholders, new resolutionsists. We are simple men and women who in spite of everything have deeded to cry out against the wrongs done on our race and bring to the attention of the world the fact that there has been born within us a new nation, which will not submit to the old regime which will not submit to the old methods, but must have an outlet and if we cannot get this outlet in America, if we cannot get this outlet in Europe or Asia, we are determined that this outlet shall be our former being, the great container of Africa (Applicant). We need our response to Mr. Harding as President of the United States, because we felt that although he might have fallen short of fulfilling many opportunities that would have written his name in history alongside of Abraham Lincoln and Douglas, that he only tried to make use of those opportunities because of human traffics. Our only hope is that Mr. Coolidge who has now assumed the President of the United States, will take advantage of the great opportunity placed before him by the people; that he will take advantage of the great trust that has been given him, to stand fairly and squarely, uncompromisingly and fearlessly, on the side of truth and justice for all citizens of the United States, caring not what the color of their skin may be nor from what section of the country or the world they may come. We feel that the Universal Negro Improvement Association at this particular time is in need of the cooperation of any who would attempt to lend their sympathy and support to this great program, and we solicit the support and co-operation of all who believe in racial freedom and racial redemption. Hon. R. H. Tobitt Speaks Hon. R. H. Tobitt, Commissioner of the Eastern Provinces of the West Indies, was the last speaker. Owing to the lateness of the hour he could not go into all the details in connection with his work in the West Indies. He said, however, that the spirit of Garveyism throughout the islands of the West Indies and in British, French and Dutch Guiana is the same as the spirit that permeates Liberty Hall in New York—the forum of New Negro thought. Spirit of Garveyism Previews in West Indies "I wished you to be assured of the fact," said Mr. Tobitt, "that despite the evil machinations of the enemy within the last few months in order to plot the downfall of our great leader—despite the combination of diabolical forces, I want to say to you that in the past few months the people have come together more ably in that part of the world and are joining the association more than they have for the last two years. If it was a test of the stamina of the New Negro, if it was a test of the qualifications of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, verily it will go down in history that Marcus Garvey in prison or Marcus Garvey dead will be stronger than Marcus Garvey alive. (Applause.) Having on a previous occasion given a glimpse of the work in Bermuda, Mr. Tobitt gave the audience a brief insight into the work of the U. N. I. A in the Island of St. Kitts. In that little island, he said, you will find that the spirit of Garvoyism prevails, but on account of the prevailing conditions you find there that the work is not very strong under the name of the U. N. I. A as in some other places, but those who have the Garvoy spirit are working on a plan that by and by will light a torch that will spread throughout the Island of St. Kitts. Referring to the work in Britt Guiana, Mr. Tobitt said that some of the men into whose hands were entrusted the work of the association had proven disloyal, but that he had succeeded in securing the good will of the government and the police authorities and the work was now going strong. In Dutch Gulana, Mr. Tobit sall, the U. N. I. A. is on a good footing. He was royally welcomed in Parramarre and given the freedom of the city by the government authorities. Conditions in Dutch Gulana, Mr. Tobit declared, were extremely favorable to the association and the people there are filled with enthusiasm over the movement. In Templad, where the work has received great opposition, Mr. Tobit said that the U. N. I. A. was progressing very favorably and where formerly there were only two or three divisions, there are now thirty-two divisions going strong, and, despite the fact that the Negro World is banned there, it gets there anyway. In conclusion, Mr. Tobitt said that no matter where they went they always had a tender spot for Liberty Hall, New York, and every time he came among them, he received new inspiration to carry on the work that was before him. He was pleased to see that, despite the fact that our great leader was not here in body, his spirit has been permeated Liberty Hall that they had not lost the interest they had four years ago, but that instead thereof they were determined to put the program over and that those who have been out in the forefront of the battle took themselves backed up by the people in this country in putting the program over and in so spreading Garveyism that the time may come. When, Nigroea shall not fail to know that they have a part to play for the establishment of a race that has a history.
