CRIME OF INJUSTICE TO NEGROES AND WEAKER PEOPLES
FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: There is no crime like that of injustice, and it is the cause that will ultimately bring about the ruin of the world.
The Crime of Injustice
Men in all ages have demonstrated against this evil, the responsibility for which has caused so many human changes. When we think of the injustice of Henry to John, we, without much difficulty, find the reason of the latter for practicing his revenge upon the former, and, so, right through the affairs of the human race, we can trace the cause for the perpetuation of revenge, one upon the other. But the crime is not traceable to individuals only, but to races and nations.
The history of the world will show that most, if not all, of the differences between races and nations have been caused through the infliction of injustice of the one race or nation upon the other.
The Injury Done to Others
In the family life the son will revenge the injury done to the father by the neighbor, and so on we go to the third, fourth and fifth generations. In the national life the free and developed nation will revenge the crime of the other when it finds itself strong enough to do so, as in the case of France now revenging Germany for the war of 1870, and so of the Germans revenging the French, or the French revenging the English, or the slave revenging his master.
The Peace of the World
Those who desire the peace of the world and the permanent settlement of all our human ills should not seek to do so by mere economic and political conferences, but first by the establishment of real justice to all men. Not the justice that is based upon the like or dislike of the individual, race or nation, or one's acquaintanceship with the individual, race or nation, but justice for justice's sake! There are but few, if any, of the people of the world who have and practice the true sense of justice.
Seeing Ourselves
If we were permitted to see ourselves as we administer justice to others, we would be surprised to realize, if we believe ourselves Christians, how near we approach hell in the exhibition of our supposed good virtues.
The World of Wrong
The world is full of wrong and injustice, the continuation of which will change our civilization and life beyond present recognition. We will go from Czarism, Kaiserism, Monarchism, Republicanism, Sovietism, to God knows what; all for the change of getting "justice." But, although the world in its political and social systems changes to meet the justice of man, we still find ourselves further and further from the ideal.
Political and Social Systems
If we take the political and social systems of England we will find the people divided into many classes, each fighting against the other, under the belief that the crime of injustice is practiced against it; and so also of France, Italy and America.
Struggle Among the Classes
As we witness the struggle of injustice among the classes, so do we have it among the races. No one will gain say the fact that the injustice of the one race to the Japanese makes them resentful, restless and revengeful, and the same injustice to the Indian and the Negro will ultimately drive them to a union of spirit that may yet develop a new civilization and a new ideal.
How Negroes Suffer
As Negroes, no one suffers from the infliction of injustice more than we do. It is practiced against us in every walk of life—politically, socially, industrially, educationally, commercially, judicially, and even religiously.
Voice Raised Against Crime
For three hundred years the Negro has cried out against the crime of injustice, and he is no nearer being heard today on his own account than when he first raised his voice. In the general order of things the weak suffers most from the crime of injustice. The strong man will be unjust to the weak, and the strong nation and race will in

like manner oppress the less fortunate. The whole situation, it seems, therefore, hangs on the developed strength of the individual, race or nation. It is the realization of this that causes the Universal Negro Improvement Association to preach the propaganda of "coming together" among Negroes.
We Must Be Strong
If we must have justice, we must be strong; if we must be strong, we must come together; if we must come together, we can only do so through the system of organization.
The Britons Were Weak
When the Britons were weak and scattered, they received no justice. When the French were weak and divided, they suffered in the same manner; but with unity, strength was developed, and with strength came national, racial justice.
Bringing Majority Together
When we can successfully bring together the majority of the four hundred million Negrees of the world, we will have not only racial, collective and individual justice, but national justice as well.
The best that we can do is to work and pray for the hastening of the time when we, too, will have become a united and strong people, able by our force of character and achievement to demand not sympathy but justice from all men, races and nations.
Breathless Appeals
Let us not waste time in breathless appeals to the strong while we are weak, but lend our time, energy and effort to the accumulation of strength among ourselves by which we will voluntarily attract the attention of others.
The Strength of Others
Jack Johnson, Harry Wills and Firpo attract the attention of other men because they have developed their bodies and muscles to protect themselves against the attack of their rivals. England, France, Italy, Japan and America attract the attention of other nations because of their powerful military and naval strength; and so the Negro can only arrest the attention of the rest of mankind in the quest for justice, for fair play, when we can produce to the world the "real stuff" that makes man feel, if he doesn't hear.
The Negro's Power
There can be no argument against the Negro's acquisition of strength and power. This is needed, not only in our racial life but in our national life. We must have a country and government—of our own. We must make our own impress upon a world of injustice and convince men by the same means or methods of reasoning as others by their strength do.
No Justice But Strength
Don't be deceived; there is no justice but strength. In other words, might is right, and if you must be heard and respected you have to accumulate nationally, in Africa, those resources that will compel unjust man to think twice before he acts.
Each Race Has Its Day
Our consolation should be, however, that each and every race will have its day; and there is no doubt that the Negro's day is drawing near. We may not trust to the abnormal strength and progress of others to believe that the world and humanity are settled, for in the twinkling of an eye all creation can pass away, and men, races and nations be no more. In a short hour Pompeii fell, and in a shorter time still Germany was crushed beyond the hope of immediate resurrection, to say nothing of ancient Greece and Rome. What has happened in the past to other races and nations will happen again, so let us work and pray, for surely our day of triumph and authority to mete out justice will come.
Africa's Lesson
Africa may yet teach the higher principles of justice, love and mercy, yea, true brotherhood.
Drunk With Power
Some of us become at times drunk with our power and authority, and, in the fullness of our narrow conceit, wreak our vengeance upon others under the guise of justice. Oh, how wanton is man! Irresponsible in his conceit! Vain in the realization of his power! Even vicious to the point of vengeance! But we glory in the fact that he is only man, and in the natural course of life will pass away, the wretch. with injustice written upon his soul, like the dog, to be unwept and unmourned; in the higher spiritual sense; to be another subject of hell, perdition and the dust from which no pleasant memory springs.
Some of us think that we live only in physical; but are we not really conscious of a higher If there is, and there is, then why die like the dog? my not die like a Christ, a John the Baptist, a St. Augustn a Caesar, even at the base of Pompey's statue; a Joan o Arc, even with the fagots around her; a Robert Emmet, with his head upon the block; a Terrence MacSwiney, in Mountjoy jail. Oh, what honor and glory we give to man for the service he renders unselfishly to his brother! With what disgust we curse the wretch who lives but for self, and for those of his kind around him; yes, he who has no knowledge of truth, whose soul is filled with irruption, bribery and injustice!
Choosing Between Right and Wrong
Negrees, shall we not choose between right and wrong? Shall we not pattern the lives of those men, races and nations that have prospered by justice? Surely we shall, for in so doing we will have removed ourselves from the curse of a heartless, sinful, unjust world, to a new temporal sphere, where man will live in peace and die in the consciousness of a new resurrection.
New Light of Progress
Such will be Africa's day, when a new light will encircle the earth, and black men lift their hands to their God and Princes come out of our country. For this we will not give up hope, but fight and struggle on, until the Angel of Peace and Love appears.
Support Organization
Support the Universal Negro Improvement Association and hold fast to your faith, yielding not to the influences of a corrupt and unjust world and human race, but holding to the truth by the light of liberty, freedom and independence.
With very best wishes for your success, I have the honor to be
Your obedient servant,
MARCUS GARVEY,
President-General,
UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION.
THE TOMBS PRISON, CENTRE STREET,
NEW YORK, August 21, 1923.
P. S.—I am depending upon the members, chapters, branches and divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to support the Parent Body, so as to enable us to carry on our work. Now the fight for our existence is hottest; hence, it behooves each and every member and supporter to rally to the call for help. Let us unitedly do our best to put the program over. Please send in your monthly reports and keep up to the constitution.

"Bishop Walter Henry Overs, of the Protantaat Episcopal Church In Liberia,
while on his way from Monrovia to Hamburg on board the 8. S. Watiche, cre-
ated a very singular sensation in the following manner, to wit: ‘The bishop met
a certain lady evangelist, who’ had been in Liberian and other West African
colonies preaching the word of God. This woman of culture, Influence and
good repute, with a heart full of love of her God 'and mankind, the bishon
refused to sit at meat with, and such was the sensation and disturbance ¢ere-
ated in the saloon that the captain was aroused from hia repose and came upon
the scene, only to find the bishop furious and indignant because of the presence
of thia lady at the table with him. What a strange contrast the apirit evinced
by Him who ate with’ the publicans and sinnern and prayef that thay be all
one, even as we'are one! We are informed that the captain interrogated tho
bishop to this end, ‘Are you a bishop?’ ‘Yee! ‘in Africa?” ‘Yes! ‘Is not ail
your flock black?" “Yes.' ‘And you refuse to eat at a table with x Christian
black?" The bishen_was mute. The captain rejoined, ‘Well, if that is Chric-

+, Liberty Hal,
That you have assembled to bid
farewell to our delegate who is to
attend”the forthcoming session, of
the Auvembly of the League of,
Nations M'Genéva, Switzerland, is
encouraging and befitting,
* As.you are aware, our.work at
the teague is still unfinished. Last’
_year_we petitioned the League, in
‘the name of the Negro’pcoples of
the world for the turning over to
ts" of the former German-African
colonies for the purpose of en-
abling our race to demonstrate our
Fitness to improve and govern our-
aclves. Tho petition in atill being
connidered, hence we feel it our
duty to return our delegate to thh
League until the matter has been
fully disposed of.
Our delegate will not only attend
the sessions of the League, but all
International Conferences in Eu
rope as the representative of our
ence. He has beon named and
Appointed the First Provisional
Ambassador of the Negro peoples
of the world to France? and he
shall take pp his residence in Paris
as our representative, (Applause.)
Let us work and pray for the
hastening of the day when “Ethio-
pin shall stretch forth her hands
unto. God" and our race be lifted
from the mire of prejudice and in-
justice to the. realm of freedom
and true liberty. (ApGtaune.)
With very best wishes, | have
tho honor to be.

“MARCUS GARVEY
'N Friday last, the 17th of August, the Negro peoples of the
O / “world-celebrated the thirty-sixth anniversary of the birth of
Marcus Garvey, Hundreds of telegrams and cablegrams
poured into New York City to a lone, courageous figure, at present a
- prisoner in the city of New York. Money and kind words were flashed
. over the wires from far and near to Marcus Garvey, an inmate of the
Tombs Prison, New York City, awaiting either his early release or
““nfore stringent confinement in Leavenworth penitentiary, Kansas,
according as a higher legal tribunal detidés,” Negroes the world over
jon the morning of the 17th of August, on bended knees, made special
‘supplication on behalf of Marcus Garvey. the man who, men would
- fainchave the world believe, has embittered the lives of these very:
suppliarits. .On Friday'last Negroes the world over set apart a holi-
day in celebration of the natal day of the greatest champion of Negro
"rights the world has ever seen. . :
‘We do not propose to dwell here pon the maloYorous plot which
has placed Marcus Garvey behind prison bars. We are as confident
of-his ultimate vindication a3 we have always been of the impotence
of the plot to stay the onward rush of the new Negro fo complete
emancipation and true liberty. Those who would vilify and gyve
Garvey we leave to the tender mercies of their own conscience, and
the condign judgment of posterity. We desire to'sing no hymn of
hate but to make this simple reflection. |
Six’years ago a man came from the island-of Jamaica to America
and, after a tour of the-country, settled in New. York City, and with
thirteen followers founded the Universal Negro Improvement Asso-
sjation. He had a vision—the vision of a free and redeemed Africa.
Eh velegdggreccedet to interpret to the world of Negroes. And
he wash ly. The result was that in a few brief years a
niighty organization grew into being, with supporters wherever
Negroes lived. The slumbering, desires of an enduring people were
aroused. Negroes everywhere became disgruntled and began to
hammer against the wall of prejudice and inequality which hemmed
them jn. The Fatherhood of God and the’Rrotherhood of Man be-
came their shibboleth.
And s0 today whenever the Black Man feels the cruel lash of op-
pression, his thoughts instinctively turn to New York City and to
“Marcus Garvey. To New York City, which witnessed the beginning
of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. ‘Io Marcus
Garvey, the only Negro leader with a worthwhile program,
Tt is fitting that the Negro’s cry for liherty, freedom and inde: |
pendence should radiate from Lincoln's land. It was inevitable that
in this age when, it seems, it is ordained of God that weaker peoples
should hike to self-determination, that a Negro should arise, with |
determination enough, strength cnough, courage enough to marshal |
Negroes, so that they too may join in the world-wide hike to destiny. |
There may be Alps to climb, avalanches may take their toll, but four |
hundred million Negtoes, strengthened with Garvey’s spirit, cannat
be gainsaid. . |
We wish the Hon, Marens Garvey. true patriot, many happy!
returns ofthe day, and we trust that the 17th of August, 1924, will |
find him filling the presiding officer's chair at the Fourth International |
Convention of the Negro peoples of the world, directing the work of
hewing astinder the rocks which stand in the Negro’s path to true
liberty. i

E have read with great interest some extracts from a hook
W of speeches and addresses delivered a few years ago by
President Calvin Coolidge. ‘These utterances, made by
the executive of this nation while he was president of the Senate of
Massachusetts and governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
reflect, in,a very positive dégree; his opinions on political, social and
economic questions.. His dissertation on.citizenship, law and order
especiglly claimed our attention, informative, as it is. of the tempera-
ment with which the new Chief Magistrate will approach the scandal
of the virtual abrogation of the civie rights of Negroes in these United
States. ~
In an address ateFaneuil Hall on December 9, 1916, Mr. Coolidge
declared, “The great aim of American institutions is the protection of
the individual. That is the principle which lies at the: foundation of
"Anglo-Saxon liberty. It matters not with what power the individual
is assailed, nor whether that power is represented by wealth or place
or numbers; against it the humblest,American citizen has the right
to the protection of ‘his Government by every force that Government
can command.” Ta :
, We are. pleased to find that the Chief Executive feels so Strongly
on. the subject of the protection of the rights of the individual. We
need hardly remind him that no cry is more clamant, more poignant
at this time than taat of the Negro-for the protection of his individual
rights, and we trust that, under his regime, this great principle under-
Iying Anglo-Saxon liberty will be fully applied in the case of the
Begro, The treatment of the Negro, against all principles of law and
eqety, is = blot on the fair name of the United States, and if Calvin
Cbtlbdge, in the exercise of his autimrity, sees that the laws of the

. VEN im the realm of sport the Negro is up against the barrie:
: of racial bate:and prejudice. Harry Wills, Negro, ever since
_ the time when Willard and Dempsey gningled at Toledo
Ohio, has Been steking a chance to earn the heavyweight champion:
ship crown, G. still the. shameless ‘determination to guillotine his
arabition:and deny him the chance persists, An. estimable young
man, clean-living, scrupulous, and a credit to the boxing game, Wills
has passed all the preliminaries sinister prejudice dictates. He is no
man’s toy. Bert Williams would. have begged his bread, was Wills
his only source of inspiration, For quite a long time-he has been
immensely popular with a sporting. public that, jim-crow fashion,
denies recognition to a Negro; onde has superabundantly demon-
strated his fitness. Wills. first contender for, Dempsey’s crown, is
today, perhaps, more popular. with the fans than is Dempsey himself,
The'public and-the sport writers weré forced -to give him their
unctuous O. K. And now, when he:stands ready and eager to scale
the topmost rung af the ladder, prejtdice from some dark corner cries
“Halt!” : as ©
Put Mr. Wills in a ring with Mr. Dempsey, and a ‘Negro once
again will be hailed as the foremost gladiator in the world, the man
capable of administering a thrashing to anything anywhere that walks
‘on two légs, And so the canons of true sport must be stultified. Jack
Kearns, ]empsey’s manager, tells Paddy Mutlins, Wills’s manager,
go see the Boxing Commission. The Boxing Contmission bids him
go see Jack Kearns.’ Kearns is afraid of his “meal ticket.” We sym-
pathize with him. The Boxing Commission -harkéns tc the voire
irom the corner. We pity them. The public want#\the match.
Dempsey says, “I am eager, so.eager to mect Mr. Wills.” It is to
laugh. In the meantime a raw recruit, one Firpo, is being dished up
for slaughter at the hands of the “peerless Dempsey.” “The scandal
stinks, and New York sport writers get busy eulogizing Wills, lam-
basting Kearns, ridiculing Firpo, haranguing the Boxing Commis-
sion—trying.to recover. fer New York State seme vestigp of a repue
tation for fair dealing.
Harry Wills could send Mr. Dempsey and this Mr. Angel Firpo
crashing to defeat in the same ring on the-same afternoon. This is ont
considered opinion, and it is the opinion of the many. It is time the
admission’ was frankly made in other quarters, Kearns knows it.
Dempsey knows it.” Wills and Mullins are confident of it. A fe
diseased minds fear it. i 7
Dempsey must cease masquerading as heavywsight champion of
the world or justify his all-embkcing claim by a meeting with Wills.
Truth sometimes hurts, but not desperately. These United States,
will not he one whit poorer through having one of its Negro citizens
-rowned king of the pugilistic ‘world. ~

As was to be expected, Marcus Garvey has been found guilty by a jury of white men of using the United States jails to defraud.
Many believe that the charge was only a sham to get Garvey with the hope of destroying his work. The whole thing seems to be made up of an international plot which will shortly expose itself. Several Negro men and organizations have been parties to what some regard as a "frame-up," but Truth shall have a hearing.
An appeal must be taken to the highest courts of the land to further test justice; therefore, every Negro of loyalty and manhood is asked to subscribe to this fund.
The fight for Africa's liberty is just begun; let us all help.

Urges Virgin Islanders to Look to Calvin Coolidge for Economic Relief-Commends Fearlessness of Former Governor of Massachusetts in Staying Extradition of Southern Negro
By CASPER HOLSTEIN
President Virgin Islands Congressional Council
Ex-President Harding is dead and buried. And the Virgin Islanders have some cause to be sorry. For he stood pledged to visit the Virgin Islands and
Mr. Harding's Good Intention
For Warren G. Harding was a kindly man. And this was realized by everyone that came in contact with him. Whether in a personal or official way he wished no one ill and wished everyone well. And while he acted within the limits of his official character whenever he could safely do good deed he did it. If he had lived to inspect the present condition of the Virgin islands it is conceivable that he would have used his official power to urge upon Congress the abolition of the naval regime, the establishment of civil administration and such help
Mr. Coolidge's Fearless Stand
Mr. Coolidge has not been noted as a man of many words, but a man of action, as was demonstrated in his determined stand (while Governor of Massachusetts) against the extradition of a Negro from Massachusetts back into the south. The Negro involved was from a southern State and, as is the spirit of the south where Negroes
"You Intend to Lynch Him!"
On that memorable day—memorable because it saved a human life—Calvin Coolidge said, "Under no circumstances shall allow him to return. As you do not intend to win a fair trial, You intend to lynch him!"
As a result the efforts of the southern authorities were frustrated by the ruling of this fearless and Christian-hearted man, Calvin Coolidge. By his ruling in that memorable case Calvin Coolidge revealed his sterling qualities
Agitation Must Be Kept Up
And I believe that their waits and cries will be heard by our new President, who will do something to put their Islands on a prosperous economic foundation that will know no rattling. The people of the Virgin Islands must therefore bird up their loans and continue their agitation, looking to our new President and the Congress of the
Deplorable Economic Conditions.
The present state of economic affairs is pittable in the extreme. There has been practically no rain for nearly three years. The islands are volcanic in origin, having only a thin layer of fertility depends on the rainfall. There is some talk of artesian wells to provide a dependable water supply for the stock and crops, as well as for drinking; and of the construction of a system of public cisterns in which some

These are some talk of artesian wells to provide dependable water supply to live in fall, even though it elokes the ing; and of the construction of a system of public cisterns in which such population
The Dearth of Shipping
In addition to this, the new port regulations keep away four-fifths of the shipping, which would come to the harbors of the islands of St. Croix and St. Thomas, while tourists from the United States prefer under present conditions to go to the British islands and spend their money there.

as would result in a decided improvement of the present state of the poor people who make up the majority of the inhabitants. It was his intention to sail down the Pacific Coast to the Panama Canal, then to port Rio Grande and on to the Virgin Islands. Adequate reports of which had been asked for by him and were being prepared by the persons who were most concerned officially and otherwise. But such hopes as these that had inspired Virgin Islanders must not be deferred, for his successor is extremely likely to do many noble and generals deeds in regard to the Virgin Islands.

The southern authorities on learning of his whigrabeats went after him and appealed to His Excellency the then Governor of Massachusetts, Calvin Coolidge, to sign the papers of extradition in order that he could be taken back south.
and his true worth to the American nation. He realized that our nation includes black people and white people alike, and that their constitutional rights should be safeguarded. He believes in equal justice for the lowly Negro in the cotton fields of the south as well as for the highest type of the white capitalists of the country. This is the type of man who now guides the destiny of the American people and to whom Virgin Islands must now look for economic relief.

And in the immediate, although these sections of the United States Constitution which guarantee a democratic form of government are in advance, the 15th amendment, with the fargest adherence to the spirit of Mr. Volstead, is in full force, even though it chooses the best chance of work and ware for the population.

THE SAN FRANCISCO LITERARY AND DRAMATIC CLUB EFFECTIVELY REORGANIZED
The Literary and Dramatic Club of the San Francisco Branch 148 was reorganized July 17 before a large gathering. Mrs. Louise Brown Wright presided. The following officers were elected: Mrs. Louise Brown, president; Miss Kentish, secretary; Mr. McKenzie, treasurer; Mrs. Agnes White, dramatic instructor.
We have had three meetings since, and meet every Tuesday night. Quite a few of the club members are also members of the choir, and we are holding the club and choir meetings jointly. Mrs. Wright is a very talented woman and makes a wonderful president. We are all very proud to be guided by her. She is also organist for the choir and ranks among the best pianists of the city.
Miss Kentish, a young lady just recently arrived from Panama, is an efficient secretary.
Mr. McKenzie, the vice-president of the San Francisco branch, is not only the right man for treasurer, but is gifted with an excellent bass voice and sings in the choir of one of the leading churches of the city.
Mrs. Agnes White, a graduate of St. Anne Convent, Canada, acts as literary critic and parliamentarian. She is also a brilliant elocutionist and we feel that we have the right person in the right place.
Mrs. Maud Tullis, one of our most helpful members, has made her appearance on the concert stage at different times and keeps us well supplied with solos.
Mrs. Rice, one of the leading sepranos of the Baptist Church, is also the leading gopiano of our choir. Each meeting we give a program. We are also practicing for a large entertainment to be given in the near future. There are quite a few young men in our club and each man is doing his bit. Once each month we propose giving a program at the general mass meeting. We feel that we must do something for the progress of humanity, so we have resolved to be more useful in the future than we have been in the past. From the great law of progress we expect to derive at once our duties and our encouragements. Humanity has ever advanced urged by the instincts and necessities implanted by God, thwarted sometimes by obstacles which have caused it for a time to deviate from its true line, or seem to retreat, but still ever onward.
Amidst the disappointments which attend us, amidst the universal agitations which now surround us, we recognize this law, that whatever is just, whatever is human, whatever is good, whatever is true, according to an immutable ordinance of Providence, the golden light of the future must prevail. With this faith we place our hands as little children in the hand of God. We know He will guide us in the path of progress.

Editor Negro World, Sir: It was a pleasure for the while in Pittsburgh, from July 29th to August 6th, to visit a gentleman of whom I had heard so much recently, and who is expressing his views in a series of articles that has attracted so much attention on the unjust treatment of the Hon. Marcus Garvey and the fight his enemies are waging for the destruction of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. This gentleman is none other than Mr. Hardy L. Keith, editor of the Pittsburgh American, a paper with a wide circulation, and which in every sense is a newspaper mirroring public opinion, and known all over the country for its impartial declarations on public matters.
Mr. Keith, when Interviewed by me, was very anxious to explain how treacherous some Negro leaders are to any good cause started by members of the Negro race, who, because they are not connected prominently to any such cause, will use every scheme of the most deplorable nature to destroy its existence.
The Attitude of Mr. Hardy L. Keith at this time is worthy of commendation because of his fearless stand in seeking to help an earnest and ambitious leader of a fallen race in trouble, while trying to secure a national home for them.
His Attitude Surprises Enemies of the Cause
Opponents of the Hon. Marcus Garvey and the U. N. L. A. are leaving no stone unturned in trying to prejudice the minds of the people against the movement as well as against Mr. Garvey.
Mr. Keith was very often interviewed by these opponents, who applied every deceptive scheme to prejudice him against Mr. Garvey, but gentleman as he is, he just firmly informed them

Ever since the world began, and as long as it lasts, there will be tall folks and the taller than the tallest; and there will be stout folks and the stouter than the stoutest. At least so, they think—every one of them thinks they are prize takers in their own particular class; and they will continue to look with envy upon their more fortunate sisters (I am speaking of the sisterhood, of the species). Well, I am going to try and help you poor unfortunate by suggesting ways of camouflage that is possible in your dress, and if you try them you will thank me.
First, Miss Plumber-than usual, I am going to start telling you the very thing that the best books on child training say not to do, and that is DON'T don't wear loud colors. Avoid them like poison. Stuck to the more conservative colors. There are some colors that make me look slimmer. Any good book on dressmaking will help you along this line. Wear small stripes, a hair-line stripe is very good; and if your mind runs along the dotted line, let them be small also. Don't feel yourself into believing that large dots

that he is going to stand for right and give a helping hand to the Hon. Marcus Garvey, Negro martyr.
I consider Mr. Keith true and loyal member of the cause, who would not allow any one to turn him from right-ousness; so I'll say to Mr. Keith, go round, your reward shall come, and one day when the storm has subsided and a perfect calm is assured, when the exploiters of a fallen race shall be observed by those whom they exploited and a reaction sets in, then your name shall be written in golden letters as a faithful servant to a great cause of a struggling race.

The golden rays of early dawn Have tipped with radiance Afric's strand-
How glory-crowned is Kenia's peak!
How diamond-decked Zambesi's Falls!
Ken distant Kenyan, plenty's seat,
Has roused herself the dawn to greet;
For Liberty descends again
From heights supreme to claim her own.
And free for age her swarthy sons.
From rapipe, insult and from shame—
Her sword, the light of wisdom, sheeps
Refugient as the morning beams.
Now in her onward march she sweeps
Fond legends, superstitions vast.
From simple minds—anthems her fire:
The will to dare, to do, to die.
To stand prepared the for to face.
To live again the crowning race—
Yes, live supreme as in that age.
When first they caught the cosmic flow.
And science creeping stage by stage.
From gleaming Pharos cast her glow.

and wide striped material make you look small. They gell louder than the ballyhoo men at Coney Island: Step up, everybody, and look at me, the biggest woman in the world!
Of course I know you have already found the lab over front closing of your dress more becoming than the straight down the front row of little buttons, but there is in the new fall fashions a very pretty V-shape opening down the front that is very becoming to all stout toes. The new coats have them also, and Paris styles show them on all their coats. I were you, I would stick to the straight up and down silhouette, to plain skirts, though in your dressy frock of soft soils you may wear a side drapery. When drained right the side drapery has a most sleuerizing effect. For your cloth dresses make your sleeves tight and long. In your coats and suits, there is a very pretty sleeve that fits tight to the elbows and hangs loose from there down.
And don't wear bright colored hose and shoes. If your feet are small, it only tends to accentuate your large.
THE DAWN
This is the very latest, and there are some very pretty styles in the latest fashion books. In coats, you should wear the cape. For evenings a three-tire silk cape can be worn to quite an advantage; and for your winter coat I would suggest one with a cape or a deep handing of fur at the bottom and a large cape collar. Your coats should always be full and roomy. Now hats for the tall one. If your neck is long and full and your face is not too small, wear a picture hat. A small hat is nice, too, with 'big feathers and bears. And just as I told Miss Plump, get in front of a full-length mirror, see yourself as others will see you, and be your own judge of what suits you best from the toes up, not from the waist up—that's the way we see ourselves most of the time, but the rest of the world don't—believe me! And shoes—wear any color you want, any style you want. If you want to wear, high heels, wear 'em. Low heels don't make you look one mite shorter. Cuban heels are better for your health, though.
Now just a word or two as to what they are wearing in general. For hats this fall, feathers hanging over the brim or wrapped around the crown or around the brim. A pretty hat from Paris was made of chocolate colored wool brocade, with a slightly turned-up brim, trimmed with a glycerlined ostrich feather of a darker shade of brown. The feather is bunched up on the right side of the crown with the ends hanging down on the shoulders. Another pretty one was made of molle, with a daring tilt to the brim over one eye, trimmed with a six-loop molle ribbon bow on the right side. To the girl with pretty eyes this is very charming. A very pretty hat, too, is the black velvet hat. The one I have reference to had a turned-down brim all the way around, with three smart tailored bows across the side front, each one above the other and about five or six inches long, of black velvet ribbon two inches deep — very smart. The velvet soft hat is worn, too, mixed with a gay color, as orange, cherry, or a twist of silver ribbon, and the effect is very chic. Another pretty hat of velvet was made of a soft brown, velvet, a sort of poke shape, with a deep draped band of georgette in a lighter shade, or a burnt orange. A draped band goes over the top of the crown also, ending at the side with a large crushed rose made of the same georgette, and which certainly looks very dressy.

ness otherwise. Of course, if they are large, I don't have to tell you not to wear them, for you won't. Now as to hats. They mar or make. No matter how well the dress, shoes and hose look, it's the hat that will either put on the finishing touch or kill the masterpiece. So here goes another "don't." Don't wear picture hats; stick to the small hats and turbans; a brim that turns up a little on the side is good; and always heighten your trimming on one side of the hat, not too much, to look like a mad hen, with ruffled feathers—y, I know. Just one more don't and I am through. Don't buy or allow any milliner to sell you a hat unless you see your whole self in the mirror with the hat on. So many hats look good from the waist up, but when viewed from the tops up que is tempted to throw it in the ash can. This piece of advice applies to all the sisters. Even Miss Venus can look like a fright with the not-right hat.
Now, Miss Talter-than usual is generally thin. She has a problem that is. a little more difficult than Miss Plump's. I think. Somehow she always feels like a bean pole, and when she is out walking in the street she is nervous for fear she will get tangled up in the telephone wires or accidentally knock into an aeroplane. So she generally stoops, thereby getting round-shouldered. Don't, my sister. It's bad for the health. Look up and brace back. Here is your fairy godmother, if you do as she suggests you'll feel more comfortable, look more pleasant, and thereby folly will forget how tall you are. First, don't be Miss Prim, and wear the plainest of plain clothes. You'll look worse; and don't overdo the frills and flounces. There are so many things you can do without overdoing any of them that I hardly know where to begin. You will look better in a three-tired skirt than a six, and two-tired ones are being worn this fall, too. Another skirt which you can wear with case that your more fortunate sisters can't is the popular fall style of broken lines; that is, the skirt is of one material down to the knees and another below the knees; in a striped material, with the stripes running up and down one way and crosswise another, this should be very becoming to you made in this fashion.
Another specialty for you is the bustle. This you can wear with impunity. I saw a very pretty style; the underskirt was plain, with a plain drape overskirt in the front, caught up in a bustle in the center of the back, with the ends hairy, loose, forming almost a second bundle. This makes a very pretty evening dress, fashioned of more of heavy crepe. You should avoid all soft silks or clinging material. You can wear the heavier materials to much better advantage, and when taffeta is the fashion you should always wear at. Another new fall style that was made especially for you is the flare silhouette with the flounce below the knees.

THE NEWS AND VIEWS OF U.N.I.A. DIVISION
YOUNG DIVISION MAKING WONDERFUL STRIDES OVERCOMING PREJUDICES AND BUILDING UP A FINE FOLLOWING
Report From Kingston, Jamaica, B. W. I., Reflect Great Credit on the Efficiency, Ideal and Tactfulness of Officers Directing the Work There
KINGSTON, Jamaica, B. W. L. July 20. The recent trial and particularly the incarceration of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, founder and leader of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, has been, indeed, the great incentive of bringing many into the fold of the above division as well as considerably 'increasing its already numerous friends and sympathizers. Everywhere one turns about this city one hears the doctrines of the organization propounded in no uncertain manner. The person who receives his news and views from the columns of the Gleaner and allows himself to be guided by the prejudiced editorials of its editor is likely to regard the U. N. L. A. very unfavorably, but should that same individual visit our Liberty Hall and get in closer contact with the workings of the local, and the aims and the objects of the U. N. L. A., he would not long remain outside of this noble organization.
For the sake of Jamaicanus abroad let me介绍 the Liberty Hall of the above division—Liberty Hall, the cradle of Negro liberty — Liberty Hall, the place from where comes the inspiration and fire that now permeate the minds of the Negroes of this city, is located at 75 King street, a couple of hundred yards from the eastern entrance of the Victoria Park. Above its entrance is a large sign, "Liberty Hall Universal Negro Improvement Association and African, Communities' League." Suspended from this is a small sign indicating the offices of the division. On the left is a large notice board on which can often be read "Big Mass Meeting To-Night." On the right are two other signs, viz. "U. N. L. A., Laundry" and "Registered Office of the African Communities' League People's Co-operative Bank, Ltd."—a bank run under the auspices of the association for its members.
Truly Tropical
This property, for which £800 ($4,000.00) was paid, has a frontal of about 75 feet and extends right back to the lane (Love lane), about 150 feet. It is paved with bricks, upon which benches are strewn in the open air for the meetings. Some 50 feet in from the entrance is a building which is used for the office, above mentioned, the veranda serving as restroom. From a flagstaff off on this building floats the Red, the Black and the Green. The buildings in the rear serve the purposes of the laundry, etc. Briefly, this is the Liberty Hall that is occupied by the members and friends and undoubtedly, a danger to the health of its enemies. There, night after night, and more so since the conversion of the Hon Marcellus Garvey, increasing crowds throng and demonstrate, both by their presence and support, a determination to carry on the public walk and to prove to the world that Neapolitan are in the field. Like other people for freedom and independence and will not relinquish the fight until the redemption of Africa is achieved under the tripolio, the Red, Black and Green.
The news of the inauguration of our President General proceed this afternoon by cable: "Carvey performed to five years' investment and $100,000 and that night witnessed Liberty Hall filled to its capacity with a crowd composed of local members and persons who are in sympathy with the movement and the principles it advocates for the race and also a few spies. That night will go down in the history of the Kingston Division. Never will that night be forgotten by

those who were present. Almost every face gave expression of real sadness and dismay as the terms of the President-General's imprisonment was discussed. The opening formalities having been gone through. "God of Our Right Our Battles Flight" was sung with a fervor and depth expressive of the feelings of determination that prevailed notwithstanding the sorrow at heart.
This was followed by a couple of prayers from the audience for the protection and deliverance of the greatest of Negro leaders; then came the exhortation of the second vice-president, Mr. J. W. Allen. "The clash was unexpected," he said, "as we were all optimistic of the result of the trial, but 'might' can conquer 'right' and having commended our leader to the care and protection of the Great Omnipotent who has chosen him from the millions of Negro men to deliver his people from the iron heel of the oppressors, we will now gird our joins as never before and show the world that a spiritual movement packed by determined people can never die, but go on forever, whether its leader be incarcerated or not."
This was met with an uproarous applause and cheering that brought in. At the close of many inspiring and encouraging addresses the treasurer, U.A. Lee Grant, made a membership drive which resulted in adding 20 more workers to the cause of African redemption. Dr. Bruce Forbes, executive secretary, followed with a Defense drive which was liberally responded to.
Night after night whether at Liberty Hall or at the meetings on the streets the tenaciousness to the cause, and the blunt refusal of yielding to the evil influences that would turn them from the pathway of the movement and especially its leader, Hon. Murcus Garvey is demonstrated. Indeed it must be a marvel to the enemies who figured on the smashing of the association with the imprisonment of its leader when they behold this manifestation of enthusiasm and loyalty. The association is stronger today than ever, and adversity is no deterrent to its membership, but on the contrary infuses them with greater determination to carry on the work of the emancipation of the race and the redemption of Africa, and greatest of all their unshaken confidence in their president-general which was manifested tonight by an audience of some 700 persons when they unanimously carried the following resolution moved by Dr. Trina Hughes, executive secretary; seconded by Mr. U. A. Leo Grant, treasurer; and supported by Rev. S. M. Jones, president; Miss Eva Albed, lady president; and Mr. Chas. D. Johnson, field worker;
Confidence Unshaken
"Whereas, The Universal Negro Improvement Association, an organization founded by the Hon. Marquis Garvey for the unification of the Negro peoples of the world and
"Whereas, Through its program the false leaders and exploiters of our race are being exposed, and
"Whereas, Sold Garvey leaders and exploiters having allied themselves together, have had false charges against the Hon. Marquis Garvey, and
"Whereas, Through said charges the Hon. Marquis Garvey has been tried before the courts of the United States of America and convicted even though no charge has been proven against him, and
"Whereas, Such conviction is felt keenly by members of the organization and the race.
"To it resolved, That we the members of the Kingston Division No. 196 of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in news meeting assembled, pledge our unshaken confidence in the president-general, in his honesty of purpose, and further pledge our unstinted financial support in the fight to have him ultimately freed from the conviction and to uphold the principles of the N. U. L. A., and to stand solidly for the cause of a free and redeemed Africa."
Every effort is being made to make the five day (1st to 5th) local convention during the coming month a humber time. The following is the program:
PROGRAM
August 1—Divine service, 5-7 a. m.; business session, 11 a. m.-2 p. m.; "Alms, and Objects of the Organization"; great demonstration, 3:30-4:30 p. m.; concert, 7:30 p. m.

Detroit Life Insurance Company Seeks to Bar Colored People From the Protection of Life Insurance — Publisher's Statement "No Negro Risks Wanted"
ATLANTA, Ga., Aug. 20.—"No Negro life' insurance risks wanted" is the decision of the Detroit Life Insurance Company, of Detroit, Mich., according to an article appearing in The Indicator, an insurance journal published in Detroit, Mich., issue of July 20, 1923. The statement of this company, according to the article, is as follows: "In order to discourage the writing of Negro risks the Detroit Life Insurance Company, through its actuary, Earl C. Wightman, has notified its agents that no compulsions will be paid on such business." According to the laws of the State of Michigan, colored people must be treated the same as white people in the matter of insurance, but to get around this legal requirement the Detroit Life Insurance Company will pay no commissions to its agents who present applications from colored people.
Officers of the Standard Life Insurance Company, the first, old-line legal reserve life insurance company, among colored people and located herd at Atlanta, in discussing the subterfuge reported to by the Detroit Life Insurance Company in a statement, issued this week said that while the colored people of the State of Michigan should use every means possible to combat the setting-up of such of a vicious precedent they (the colored people) are not without opportunities for securing life insurance protection, as there are now a number of well-established insurance companies operated by well-known and capable members of their own race.
THE CAMAGUEY DIVISION HOLDS INSPIRING MEETING
THE CAMAGUEY DIVISION HOLDS INSPIRING MEETING
The Camaguey division under the able leadership of President Aubrey Jones is making rapid strides and the members and supporters are growing more enthusiastic as time rolls on, still firm in their unshaken faith of the association to put over its programme. Since the incarceration of the President-General, several meetings have been held, and at each of them new members have been enrolled who have pledged themselves to remain true to the principles of the U. N. L. A. and to work hard and earnestly to a free and rejoiced Africa.
We had a large gathering on the 29th of July, when several visiting friends from other divisions in Cuba were present. Among the visitors were Messrs. R. Barrett, president of the Johabo Davison; Murray of the Banes Division, Williams of the Guantanamo Division, Poarth of the Casa Mumbi, and Francia of Marmi, all of whom took part in the meeting and delivered powerful and inspiring addresses.
An excellent musical program was rendered, at the conclusion of which three cheers were given for all divisions throughout the world, for the Executive Council, and last, but not least, the Hon. Marcus Garvey.
NEW DIVISION IN PORT LIMON IS MAKING RAPID PROGRESS
NEW DIVISION IN PORT LIMON IS MAKING RAPID PROGRESS
New Castle Branch recently organized in Port Linnon is making rapid progress in the fight for the emancipation of our race. The members are true and loyal and determined to lay the foundation of a government strong enough to protect and uphold the dignity of Negroes everywhere, realizing that a start must be made even though it may be a humble one. Our meetings are well attended and the spirit displayed by the members is encouraging to the officers to push on with this glorious task.
At a recent meeting a note of sympathy was passed for the Hon. Marus Garvey, and a note of confidence for the Executive Council, and the members are constant in their prayers that the President General will soon be out and again take his place as President General of our great and noble association.

The air of sadness had vanished and the usual mirth and enthusiasm reigned supreme. Garvey's spirit lives in prison or death:

MON5. JEAN JOSEPH ADAM
We give the place of honor this week to Mona. Jean Joseph Adam who sails on the French liner La France tomorrow (Wednesday, 22nd inst.), as our first pleningtentiary to one of the Great Powers of the World.
Mona. Jean Joseph Adam was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and received his early education at home, completing it, as most Haitians do, abroad. He is a Laureate in history, and speaks French, Spanish and English fluently.
Mr. Adam came to the United States to study conditions at Tuskegee Institute under the late Booker T. Washington. He had planned to return to his native land and build an institution to run on similar lines as at Tuskegee, but on account of the political situation in Haiti at the time, he decided to remain in this country.
After doing educational work in the West, three years ago, the call came to this talented son of the race to cash his lot in with the Universal Negro Improvement Association. It came about in this way. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People were—or at least they contended they were—fighting for the liberation of Haiti. Mr. Adam carefully watched their methods, and was not long in realizing that the N. A. A. C. P. could no more bring about the liberation of Haiti in the way they were doing it, than they could stop lynchings in this country which they had been out to do all these years, but which found them no nearer achieving than when they started out. Their program, he was convinced, was not the best to solve the Negro problem and better the conditions of Negroes in Haiti or throughout the world.
So he threw his lot in with the U. N. I. A. Its militant aggressive program appealed to him. He saw that the liberation of the Black Man must be accomplished by himself. The redemption of Africa was the only solution to the Black Man's independence and return to power. And having known what it meant to be one's own master in one's own country, and having felt the iron heel of the oppressor as the white man took away that full, free independence from his native land which his forefathers had wrested by force of arms and which they had enjoyed for so long a period—he threw himself with zeal into the work of the U. N. I. A.
A man of his outstanding ability was not long in attracting attention. Within a year after his admission to the organization he was president of his division. He was sent up by his division—the San Francisco branch—as a deputy to the third international convention convened in New York. Here he attracted the president-general favorably, and when it was decided that a delegation should go to Geneva and ask that the former-German colonies be handed over to the U. N. I. A. on behalf of the Negro people of the world, to sell off their own government and work out their own plan of redemption, it was only natural that Mens. Adam should have been selected to go with the delegation as its secretary and official interpreter. This year Mr. Adam returns alone to complete the work in adamably begun. With his special knowledge of what was accomplished last year, with his undoubted ability, loyalty and diplomatic judgment, much is expected of him and we feel sure he will rise to the expectations of the organization that is sending

A SIMPLE SERMON
There's only one method of meetin' life's test:
Jeal 'keep on a strivin' and hope fur the beat.
Don't give up the game and retire in dismay
'Cause brickbats are thrown when you'd like a bouquet.
This world would be tiresome, we'd all get the blues
If all the folks in it held just the same views;
So finish your work, show the best of your skill—
"Some folks won't like it, but other folks will."
If you're leadin' an army, or buildin' a fence.
Do the best that you can with your own common sense;
One small word of praise in this journey of tears
Outweighs in the balance 'not a car-load of sneers;
The plants, that we're passin' as commonplace weeds.

THE NEGRO WORLD SATURDAY, AUGUST 28, 1988
La predisposición americana en Paris se está haciendo aguda. Para solucionarla a satisfacción de algunos de los turistas que viajan al extranjero, el gobierno francés puede verse obligado a dictar un deceto sumario requiriendo, que las leyes, prinipios y hábitos del pueblo francese sean radicalmente transformados cuando quiera se trate de personas de epidermis obscura.
Una Apelación a la Conciencia de Nuestra Raza—El Prejuicio Como Condición Creada Por Nosotros Mismos—Ambición de Atraer Todo Nuestro Elemento Hacia un Ideal—Debemos Respetarnos—Por Medio de Nuestro Exito y Progreso Adquiriremos el Respeto de los Demás
Hace pocos dias se trató de varios visitantes americanos que protestaban energicamente contra un grupo de jovene oficiales franco-africanos que ocupaban asientos en un autobus público en Paris. El ministerio de relaciones exteriores se apresuro a publicar una admonición de que la ley y la costumbre no toleran que se erigieran contra los negros las barreras que los americanos habian asumido el derecho de ordenar que se establecieron. Ahora, tal vez en forma de represalia contra el ministro, un grupo de americanos en un club nocturno de Moptmartre se afirma que obligo a que fueran expulsados violentamente del establecimiento dos franco-africanos, sobrinos de un ex-rey del Dahoney, uno de los cuales es abogado del foro parisien, para vindicar la dignidad de la raza blanca. El proprietario del establecimiento y su ayudante van a ser llevados a los tribunales, aunque los americanos podran dranir los inconvenientes y muestias de comparecer en la corte a causa de su intervención en el asunto.
Se ha dicho de antemano que es una tarea árdua y diftcultosa el organizar y mantener unidos gran número de elementos de nuestra raza por el bien común de ésta. Muchos han intentado nuestra conglomeración pero han fracasado en su noble empresa, por el hecho de que nuestra idea característica tiende mas bien a separarnos que a mantenernos unidos. La maldad interna de división está destruyendo nuestra existencia como pueblo y si no tratamos el asunto seriamente en la dirección de un reajuste, nuestro fracaso es inminentemente conclusivo.
Por varios años nuestra organización a venido laborando en pro de la unificación de la raza, no solamente en lo doméstico o nacionalesino universalmente. El éxito obtenido en el curso de nuestros esfuerzos es alentador, considerando el lapso de tiempo consumido y el medio ambiente que rodea el objeto de nuestras aspiraciones. Tal parece que un sentimiento universal conspira en contra nuestra y la gran dificultad de nuestra presente generación estiba en extraernos del medio de prejuicio, que se oculta baio la acción de una práctica internacional.
Los franceses son tardos en adquirir ideas sobre el extranjero. Por al paso actual pronto han de fener que verse forzados a confesar cuan extensamente se los ha despojado de su concepción acerca del respecto por la igualdad de derechos humanos y en el deseo de ser fieles, los idales americanos. Esjos en el extranjero deberán aprender como cuestion de respeto a si mismos y de orgullo nacional a observar en su conducta la decencia que se espera observen los frances en este pais.
El prejuicio es condicional por muchas razones; tal parece que conciente o inconcientemente nuestra raza provee todas las razones por las cuales el mundo nos ignora y hasta nos detesta. El progreso es la atracción que mueve a la humanidad y a cualquier pueblo o raza que a esta virtud moderna se adhiera, veremos en ella el esplendor de orgullo y estimación propia que conquista el respeto y la admiración de todos. Es el progreso de la raza anglo-sajona que le significía por el respeto del mundo. Cuando esa raza no poseía crédito de progreso, como todas las demas razas inferiores, pagó su precio con esclavitud y prejuicio. Recordamos el tiempo cuando, el antiguo británico era considerado muy torpe para ser un buen esclavo romano; hoy dia la influencia de su raza predomina en el universo.
Cruzó a Nado.el Canal de la Mancha
El conocido nadador argentino Enrique Teraboshi llegó a Dover, después de haber cruzado a nado el Canal de la Mancha en diez y seis horas y media, superapado a todos aquellos que han intentado el cruce. Dicho canal mide veintiuna millas en sus puntos mas cercanos.
El progreso industrial y comercial del pueblo americano es la causa de que Europa y el resto del mundo sientan apreciación por la raza anglo-americana. No es por el hecho de que ciento diez millones de habitantes constituyan los Estados Unidos de America; el mundo presta su atención a la república con gran reverencia y respeto, reverencia y respeto que no se demuestra a la India con sus trescientos millones ni a la China con sus cuatrocientos millones. El progreso de cualquier pueblo es un factor que influye en la adquisición del respeto y consideración de sus semejantes; tal influencia es la que debemos y tenemos que adquirir, toda vez queramos elevarnos por encima del prejudicio universal en nuestra contra. La dependencia de nuestra raza en el progreso de los demás para una consideración en simpatia, justicia y derecho, es como depender de un bastón roto para sostenernos en pie; al fin seremos derrribados.
La temperatura y la calma del mar favorecieron grandemente a Teraboshi cuando se lanzó al agua a las ocho de la noche, en el cabo de Griz-Nez.
La Atmósfera Politica en Filipinas
El ataque que se ha hecho contra el general Wood por un representante filipino debe ser mirado con un cierto grado de gratitud como exposición del verdadero carácter de la campaña que se esta llevando, a cabo contra el gobernador, y como una fuerte indicación de su fuente de origen. El representante Mr. L. D. Blanco reconoció que el general Wood habia procedido en todo momento dentro de sus facultades legales; no obstante insistió en que debiera, a causa de sus actos oficiales, ser leve de su puesto. En otras palabras, la objection no es personal central el general Wood, sino dirigida contra el gobierno americano y sus leyes.
Nuestra organización predica a la raza ayuda propia, dependencia propia, no esencialmente en uno sino en todo aquello que contribuya a la felicidad humana. La disposición de muchos en depender de otros para una consideración bondadasa de sus necesidades, sin hacer esfuerzo alguno para ayudarse a si mismos, ha sido la desgracia permanente de la raza bajo cuyo punto de vista se nos ha juzgado y por medio de lo cual hemos creado el mas poderoso de los prejuicios. No existe fuerza mayor que la del éxito y por ello el individuo compenetrado de tal potencia se esfuerza durante su vida para rodearse de dicha influencia; como al individuo, tal disposición afecta del mismo modo a la raza y a la nación.
Esto es por si mismo respuesta unicente a las demandas de la comisión filipina de Independencia. Es también una suggestión de lo más iluminadora sobre el mal que causó la administración de Francis Burton Harrison como gobernador general de las Filipinas. Se recordará que cuando se persente alli-encontró que los filipinos deseban la forma canadiense más bien que la forma americana de gobierno. Es decir, descaban que fuera el como gobernador general, no un autorizado pro-consul del presidente de los Estados Unidos, sino un simple representante simbólico, como el gobernador general del Canadá, con la verdadera autoridad ejercida por el primer ministro responsable solamente ante la legislatura nativa. Pero la ley loy prescribia tal solución autamericana. Por el contrario, subrava la autoridad independiente del gobernador general sobre la de la legislatura. Asi Mr. Harrison declaró que este era uno de los defectos del sistema americano y emprendió el interpretar y administrar la ley tanto concreto posible a la manera canadiense más bien que a la manera americana.
La raza tiene que erguirse y ejecutar para si siempre que intente destruir el prejuicio de que cs objeto. El ruego y la política de espera no ha de conducirnos a ninguna parte ni ha de mejorar en manera alguna nuestra condición actual. Por medio de nuestro esfuerzo y energía en el curso de realizaciones materiales, tenemos que presentar al mundo aquellas fuerzas por la cuales es juzgado el progreso del hombre. Nuestra raza necesita una nación y un país propio donde poder demostrar mejor la evidencia de su propia ability en el arte del progreso humano. Diseminados retrocederemos por no poder apreciar el gran requisito de todo pueblo-ORGANIZACIÓN.
La organización es el gran poder que dirige el destino de una raza o de una nación hacia sus aspiraciones. Para llegar propiamente a la realización de tales deseos debemos someternos a algún sistema o método eficiente, y ningun otro a de superar al de organización. Por tal concepto la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra apela una y otra vez a todos y a cada uno de los elementos de la raza para que con nosotros, por un medio organizado, laboren en pro de la emancipación universal de nuestra raza y la redención absoluta de Africa.
No puede haber muchas dudas sobre el que fuera esta asombrosa conducta de Mr. Harrison la que ha inspirado y alentado a la facción separatista de los políticos filipinos en su presente campaña ve en su demanda extraordinaria de que sea relevado de su empleo el general Wood por proceder entaramente dentro de sus derechos legales. La dificultad estriba en que el general Wood es un americano que interpreta y administra una ley americana según los principios americanos, en tanto que su predecesor prefería el sistema canadiense y estimuló a los filipinos a clamar por su adopción en vez del americano.
Ningún elemento de la raza, ya sca éste norteamericano, europeo, antillano 6 africano, será considerado y respetado hasta que ésta no constituya su propio gobierno, su propia industria, su propia cultura. La raza necesita de sus hijos de determinación; hombres y mujeres capaces de crear, hombres y mujeres de iniciativa, aportando con nuestra contribución independiente a la civilización moderna y así podernos descartar del prejudicio que nos ha convertido en el blanco de las otras razas.
Un acto generoso y realmente transcendental de los jeses de froniciones políticas en el senado de San Juan, ha logrado, en hora bendita, la union, para ciertos problemas generales del pain, de todos los partidos de la isla. Los directores han convenido solemnmente en aunar sus esfuerzos para obtener del gobierno de Washington determinadas mejoras y concesiones para la administración local portorriquena de las que los portorriquenos todos, sin distinción de matices políticos benefician.
Tal acuerdo, notable por su sentido práctico y patriotismo, constructivo, está llamado a marcar una nueva era en la vida de la bella isla antillana. Bajo la conjunción de esfuerzos, que hasta ahora a pesar de tender al patriotico mejoramiento del régimen nacional, se perdian en una estéril diversificación de tendencias, sería posible que la energía de la opinión publica se reuna en un solo punto, ante la resistencia adversa. La Casa, Blanca, de cumplirse el acuerdo, no tendrá ya que tratar con personalidades aisladas y contrapuestas de determinado sector político: sino con Puerto Rico entero agrupado solidamente en apoyo de sus aspiraciones fracionales.
Es el buen camino, si se sigue con la vista puesto en las realidades inclusibles, en las limitaciones del presente politico ya en las lecciones del pasado histórico. No valdria de nada, por ejemplo, la unión pactada si a favor del entusiasmo legítimo despertar por ella olvidarse las imposiciones básicas en los problemas portorriqueños.
Puerto Rico tiene una situación especial de facto, cualesquiera sean sus aspiraciones de derecho y los vinculos históricos, raciales y espirituales de su noble pueblo con los demas de su origen. Ignorar esto sería como pretender abrir bracha cuena roca ingueque con el solo cuenco de una palabra florida. Los portorriquenos luchan por la obtención de mejoras y ventajas positivas, immediatas y tangibles, que les permitan desarrollar y continuar su civilización y sus existencia dentro de lineas propias, con las garantias debidas a una colectividad culta, verdaderamente soberana por al grado de cultura de su pueblo y la efectividad de sus recursos locales. Este es y debe ser el primer objetivo y nada debe distraer a los portorriquenos de el.
Dor eso, los residentes en Nueva York, que son muchos millares y tienen una percepción del problema mucho más aproximada que sus compatriotas residentes en el terruño, deben cooperar a todo trance para que la union se lleve a cabo. Y ya que se logre esto, para que el propósito de ella no se desnaturalice y se pierdan las posibilidades de exito, por errónea actuación de los encargados por el pueblo de presentar el problema en Washington o por equivocada orientación a la corriente de aspiraciones populares.
Los portorriquenos de Nueva York, a quienes se trata de unificar ahora, tenen si su una mission importantísima de supervisión y de orientación de sus compañías que vengan a defender las aspiraciones de la isla. Por eso, doblemente importante y necesaria su union inmediata. La Prensa, N. Y.
Méjico y su Reconocimiento
Los gobiernos de este país y de Mejico han pactado un tratado de amistad y comercio, como la nota final de las negociaciones internacionales hacia el reconciliamiento del gobierno del general Obregon. El anuncio oficial del reconciliamiento se hará tan pronto como dicho tratado reciba la aprobación del departamento de estado.
Las negociaciones llevadas a cabo entre los comisionados norteamericanos Warren y Payne y los representantes del gobierno mejicano Roa y Rosa, fueron satisfactorias y el tratado redactado soluciona todas las diferencias entre estos dos países.
CAPT. GAINES IS ABLE TO BE ABOUT AGAIN
The many friends of Capt Gaines, Commander of Legion, will be pleased to hear that he has so far recovered from his recent attack of illness so as to be able to resume his activities again. Capt Gaines developed a thematic attack while out on the field, and was forced to return to the city for treatment. He has been confined to his home for nearly a fortnight, but the pain has relaxed to care and right treatment. We join his many friends in wishing him a speedy restoration to his wounded good health.

said, "there was many criticism and laughter, but he knew that great men had been laughed at before. When Fulton first placed on the bloom of the water his little stewardship man laughed at him. When Watt began experimenting with the kettle on the kitchen fire men laughed at him. When Calumbus began talking about unknown continents men laughed at him. But these men who were laughed at were applauded by those same men who at first answered and criticized, and future generations sang their pleasions. So in like manner when history comes to be written, Marcus Garvey will be given his place. In its annals as the father of Martin freedom, the father of African redemption." (Applause.)
Garvey's Unselfish Leadership
Proceeding, Mr. Sherill said: 'When Marcus Garvey started the Universal Negro Improvement Association, much bunk was heard. Some said he was simply starting the U. N. I. A. for his own personal aggrandization. Marcus Garvey started the Universal Negro Improvement Association, handled millions of dollars of the people's money and built up an organization that caused the world to take notice; an organization that has caused the statesmen of Europe to shake in their boots; an organization that has caused a great European nation to take measures to curb Marcus Garvey's influence in Africa; an organization that has caused the world to understand that there is in the world concerted action. Marcus Garvey started this great organization and gave it to Negroes, to become the heritage of the sons of Ham. And today Marcus Garvey sits in the Tombs prison, suffering because of his great ideal. And when he went to the Tombs prison, after handling millions of your money, he hold $3 in the bank. A man like that did not start the Universal for personal gain, for his own selfish ends. Look at other leaders, riding around in their cars! But Marcus Garvey walked and rode in street cars and in taxis, as you and I. Marcus Garvey came forward with an unselfish purpose, and a desire to serve a leader, but at this time, when the Ku Klux Klan was fighting at Tuskegee, he is talking somewhere in the North, and afraid to show his face (Applause).
His Courage and Manhood
"Marcus Garvey as a man is an ideal leader for the Negro race, because he comes forward with the courage the race needs. He has given the black man more courage than he has ever had in the history of the world. I call Marcus Garvey came, Negroes did not have the backbone and manhood to stand up and say what they thought. And that I have reason why the Negroes of this country have accepted him as their leader. He has come forwrd and had the courage to say the things you thought he was afraid to say tonight, because he had the courage of his convictions, because he had the manhood to stand up and plead your cause under any conditions, in any circumstances, he is in the Tornils, because the powers that he understand and know too well that something must happen when 400,000 Negroes realize their strength. But they cannot do the impossible. Although they have

"They said that his plan was impossible. But white men do not concern themselves much with talk of the impossible. They say it can never be realized. If this is so, why is it they do not allow the Negro World in Africa? The only place to which the Negro World goes legitimately in Africa is Liberia. But the Negro World gets to all other parts of Africa. Why don't they want it in Africa? It is because they know that if Garvey's principles get rooted in Africa and take hold of our millions of brothers there they will stand upon their feet and free the homeland. They know the program is not impossible, but that it can be put over. It is because of the feasibility of this great program that they are putting forth every effort to try to stop the Universal Negro Improvement Association in its onward march. They say he is a dreamer. Marcus Garvey may be a dreamer, as I have told you before, but that in itself in compulsion enough for Marcus Garvey. Let us say that he is unable to materialize what he is talking about. Let us say that he is not able to do the things that might place this organization on the basis those who profess to think it very material terms think it should be on. Suppose it is only a dream; it is for good Negroes.
The Architects of Greatness
"Do you know what dreamers are? Dreamers are the architects of greatness. They are not the ones who drive nails or mix mortar. They draw the plans. They conceive the thoughts, for their vision is within their souls, and enables them to peer through the clouds of doubt and darkness which would stop you and discourage me. Dreamers! Everything given to the world was given by dreamers. The land upon which we live was given to the world by a dreamer. The reforms we enjoy were given birth in the minds of dreamers. Dreamers! They tunnel mounts, bridge streams, link space. Dreamers called sea that had never been shaped, they called mountains that nobody dared scale. Let the enemies of the organization say of Marcus Garvey, "Dreamer!" But some day they will awaken, when they hear the onward rush of 100,000 Negroes, to the sad realization that they were fast asleep. (Apause.)
Complete Emancipation Inveitable
against impostures past, contemptuous and lying to Satire. Matthew was also attempting the impossible. When others Marus Garvey for his father anyhow? Protestantism did not grow until Luther was burned. Christianity did not sourish until Jesus Christ was crucified. Crucify, Garvey, and what he has yielded up, his life, that you will see a movement. (Applause.)
"It is in memory of this great, and courageous character that you have assembled here tonight to enjoy yourselves. It is in memory of the great work he has done. It is in memory of the 15th day of August, the day that gave birth to Ethiopia's noblest patriot, Marcus Garvey." (Loud and prolonged applaud.)
Fort. Smith Division 887 rendered a very creditable program Sunday, July 8, 8:30 p. m. at American Legion Hall, at Ninth and G streets. The attendance was very good. The following were the speakers for the occasion: George McCrary, "Why Africa Should be Redeemed"; Rev. P. Gray, "How Can Africa be Redeemed," and Prof. E. I. Ellison, superintendent of Shorter College, Little Rock, who took for his subject "Africa." He said in part that black folks should get together here in America and prepare to go to Africa, for, in spite of the many false statements concerning Africa, this was certain that Africa was not the uncivilized land that the white man would have us believe. He also spoke on the need of having more race pride and looked forward to the day when Negroes would have more love one for the other.

REAL ESTATE
WAS ADDRESSING CAMPAIGN MEETING
Bayonets Keep Friends From Rush to Free Him
ENNIS, Aug. 15.—Eamon De Valera, "President of the Irish Republic," is in the custody of the Free State authorities.
Mr. De Valera was arrested here today as he was starting an election speech to his constituents. He had boldly announced his coming and, when he took his position on the rostrum in Market Square, Free State troops threw a cordon about him.
The crowd that had gathered had given Mr. De Valera a tumultuous reception, and he had just started his address in Gaelle when a shout arose, "The soldiers are coming." Simultaneously armored cars mostly rattled up to the vicinity of the platform.
where they would not have to play second part in someone else's government, but where they would play first part in their own government, and first part in the affairs of the world.
Garvey Gave the Negro a New Spirit
But there came on the scene a man who now is incarcerated in the Tumba bringing the light and. Negroes today alongside Indians — Negroes today alongside the Irish people; Negroes today alongside the Egyptians crying in the language of Patrick Henry. "I must have liberty; I must have independence; I must have a巾hood, and I will accept death." And
Volleva Stampedo Crowd
Volleys Stamped Crowd
The crowd, made up of men and women, fled in all directions as the soldiers fired several volleys over their heads. Many of the women fainted. As several soldiers rushed toward the platform, De Valera was seen to sway and then to collapse. At first it was thought the Republican leader had been shot, but it turned out he had only fainted, probably in consequence of a blow he received during the stampede.
When he recovered, Mr. De Valera was assisted down the steps from the platform by troops. He waved aside a number of persons who made their appearance, seemingly desirous of attempting to rescue him, and surrendered to an officer who received him with a kindly "come along."
Bayonets Calm Ugly Crowd.
When the panic had subsided the people who had been about the platform returned to Market Square. Many of them hurled insulting epithets at the troops, and for a moment the situation looked ugly. The troops, however, took things calmly, fixed their bayonets and soon restored a degree of order. Then, with a large crowd followed, De Valera was taken to the County Jail. He offered no resistance.
When he arrived at Market Square for the meeting De Valera was accompanied by his young son and a priest. In the few remarks he was able to make before he was arrested, Mr. De Valera said.
When we could not come to you to tell you the truth, they said we were Anarchists, out for destruction. I came here to tell you I never have stood for destructu
Opposed Internal Strife.
"I never have stood for the enemy game, which is to invite one party to fight another party. Since the beginning I have perched one gospel which is the gospel I perch to you today. The arrival of the military cut off further remarks.
Together a dozen persons were treated for injuries in the local hospital. Two of them suffered from bitter wounds and the others from cuts or bruises, received in the stumpede.
According to report, current here, the Free State council, equally divided over the widow of arrear De Valera. A strong feeling prevails that the day event will impede by election to the lead.
(Continued from page 5)
this ambition; it is a new thing among us, just about five years ago, the greatest ambition that the Negro people of the world had was to be a part of the government under which they lived.
The West Indian Negro's Ambition
About six years ago the greatest ambition of the West Indian Negro was to some day get money enough to go to England to become a barrister got some little British title, go back to the island and to be a tool for the British government in subducing his own people. He could not see anything Negro! he thought if he could get some little initial behind his patience if he got a J. D. attached to his name that would be the height of his ambition (daughter), that was the biggest thing black men thought they could look forward to. Negroes in the West Indies were not thinking about nationhood, were not thinking of governing themselves, were not thinking about making it possible to occupy from the lowest points in their government to the highest point. They were only thinking of being good imitators of British culture, of British influence, of British civilization.
The Influence of the American Negro
A little over six years ago the American Negro thought just about like the West Indian Negro. He was not thinking of nationhood; he was not thinking of building for himself; he was only thinking of becoming a part of the great American government; if he could get to be a little ward politician or political henchman—that would antitify his burning ambition. He did not hardly think or dare think that it was possible for Negroes themselves to build a government of their own
GARVEY AND DE VALERA MARTYRS IN JAIL FOR IDEALS
where they would not have to play second part in someone else's government, but where they could play first part in their own government, and first part in the affairs of the world.
Garvey Gave the Negro a New Spirit
But there came on the scene a man who now is incarcerated in the Tombus bringing the light and, Negroes today alongside Indians — Negroes today alongside the Irish people; Negroes today alongside the Egyptians angry in the language of Patrick Henry, "I must have liberty; I must have independence; I must have nationhood, or I will accept death." And that is the new spirit that has come out from Marcus Garvey for the Negro peoples of the world and compelled them to join hand with other oppressed people in their fight for freedom.
U. N. I. A. Laying a Foundation
The Universal Negro Improvement Association in this fight for improvement is now engaged in foundation laying. You know there are some of us who become a little bit discouraged sometimes and we wonder what have we done; we have been an organization for about five years; what have we to show? what has the U. N. I. A. accomplished?
Cannot Be Computed in Dollars and Cents
I want to say at the outset that what the Universal Negro Improvement Association has accomplished for the Negro peoples of the world cannot be computed in dollars and cents. The Universal Negro Improvement Association for the last five years and even at the present time is simply clearing off for the purpose of laying the foundation. We have not actually begun laying the foundation yet. The Universal Negro Improvement Association in the last five years has been changing Negro sentiment. The Negro sentiment in this country has been greatly changed by the propaganda of Marcus Garvey.
Garvey's Propaganda Has Changed Negro Sentiment
If you look back about six years ago you will see that the periodicals and newspapers of N. Africa were paying but very few things about Africa and especially but very few commandable things, but look at the Nero press today, and in almost every point you will see them making some favorable comments on Africa. That has not only happened, but you will find printing up all over the country by the trading company endowing to treat in trade with the West Indies some of them with South America and come with Africa.
interest in Africa Due to U. N. L. A. and Garvey
From where came this new idea of leading with Africa. Some do not want to have the credit to the Universal Negro Improvement Association and to Morus Gargery, but it is simply the spirit that has been permeating the members of this great organization that has burst out from beyond the bounds of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and is beginning to take hold of Negroes everywhere. (Appointed.)
The "High, Yallahs" and the African Blondes
I give you another idea of this chance of sentiment that has been caused by this organization. I was in Washington just two days ago. I stepped at a street show where they were demonstrating some kind of medicine. There was a colored girl in that show and one girl was talking about her beauty. One of the girls made the remark that she was a "churn vallah" and the other girl retorted. I am got a high vallah but I am an African blonde." (Applause.

SPECIAL PARENT BODY NOTICE TO ALL DIVISIONS AND CHAPTERS EVERYWHERE
To the Officers and Members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association:
It has come to our notice that since the incarceration of the President-General a few designing officers and members are trying to create strife in the divisions in order that they may put over the things that they could not put over when the President-General was actively in harness.
As loyal members of the association we are calling upon you to discredit such individuals wherever they show their heads. Inform us of their activities and they shall be expelled from the association. We are firmly resolved to keep inviolable the principles and aims of this great organization of ours and will do all and everything to continue the work as if the President-General was not temporarily deprived of his liberty. We desire to affirm that Marcus Garvey will remain President of the U. N. L. A. so long as he lives.
His opinion is more respected today than ever by the four hundred million Negroes of the world, and when these plotters attempt to embarrass the Committee which he has left to carry on the work during his temporary absence they are enemies to the Honorable Marcus Garvey and the great movement he has founded.
This warning comes from the Committee of Management as appointed by the President-General to "carry on" in his absence and we propose to "carry on" in spite of the few designing persons within and without the organization, who are wolves in sheep's clothing. These particular busy-bodies are active in the Universal Negro Improvement Association for reasons very clear. But them down as the enemies they are and "prey on" in the night for a free and redeemed Africa.
Beware of them! Keep us informed of their activities.

and laughter.) She did not know it, but I will bet that is the first time a theatrical girl used that expression.
The Negro All Over the World Taking The Spirit of Garveyism
The Negro unconsciously in America and all over the world is beginning to take up the spirit of Garveyism, and when she said she was an African blonde those who were standing around—principally Negroes—clapped their hands, which meant that Negroes are beginning to see that African blondes are better looking than "high yallahs." (Great applause and laughter.)
U. N. I. A. Hes Established Educational Centera
Not only that, The Universal Negro Improvement Association in the last five years has established educational centers for Negroes. Every division in every part of this country is an educational center for Negroes, educating Negroes along lines of race pride and race love. It has cost the association hundreds of thousands of dollars to establish these centers; it has cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to create this new sentiment. The Universal Negro Improvement Association in the last five years has established an organization of six million Negroes that is waking the Negroes of the world everywhere and making the world understand that Negroes can no longer be dealt with as in the past, but must be given due consideration in the affairs of the world.
The Cost of Propaganda
If has taken money to do this, it has taken propaganda to do this. Do you know that propaganda is a costly thing? Do you know that when the German government was waging war against the Allies, not only did they spend millions of dollars for guns and ammunition, not only did they spend millions of dollars for military equipment, but they spent millions of dollars for propaganda alone. They spent millions of dollars simply to tell the world that their cause was right, they spent millions of dollars for literature; they spent millions of dollars paying speakers to go through the world and make the world understand that Germany's cause was right. Propaganda is a great weapon. Not only did the German Government spend money, but the English Government and the American Government, realizing what a tremendous force propaganda was, began to expend millions of dollars themselves. The
American Government spent millions of dollars to pay men to go all over the country speaking in the theatres and in churches, telling the world that America's cause and the Allies' cause was right, because they knew the powerful and driving force of propaganda.
U. N. I. A. Has Spent Thousands to Spread Its Propaganda
During the last five years the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been spending hundreds of thousands of dollars simply to put throughout the world its propaganda. Some of the critics of the organization point to our Black Star Line; they point to our grocery stores not running; they hark at our laundry and our tailor shops, which are not running, and they say "What has the Universal Negro Improvement Association done?" When is your laundry? Where are your tailor shops and grocery stores? Where is your Black Star Line?"
The Fundamental Program of the U.N.J.A.
But, friends, the fundamental program of the organization is for a free and redeemed Africa. The Black Star Line was only a means to an end; the grocery stores and laundries were only means to that end. We starred these things in an effort to show Negroes that commercially they could do big things in commercial lines. The Black Star Line is not running, the grocery stores are not going, but the sentiment created by the starting of these grocery stores and the Black Star Line has been a tremendous driving power that has driven Negroes together, and just the idea alone of knowing it can be done is holding Negroes together in one solid band. If the U. N. I. A had nothing to show but this change of sentiment every nickel spent in this organization has been spent to good effect. If the U. N. I. A had nothing to show but these educational centers, if the U. N. I. A could point to but one thing, and that is that, through the propaganda of the U. N. I. A and the starting of business enterprises by Negroes of the world, have been turned around and made to realize the mighty powers which the quexcent in them we could say that the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association up to the present time is well done (Applicare). There are many things that the U. N. I. A has got to learn. There are many things that we are going to be compelled to learn from experience only. The Negro is not experienced
in the lines of big business, and if the Negro does not make an attempt to start big business and fail and start big business again and fall and start big business again and keep on starting until he succeeds he will never succeed in the line of big business, for he is not going to be able to learn big business at the expense of anybody but himself. The white man is not going to give you an opportunity to learn to do big business at his expense. When you go to work in his shops there is so far you can go and no further. You can start as janitor and 40 years from today if you stay there you will be janitor. A white man can start alongside of you as janitor and perhaps 15 years from today—not that long—five years from today he will be your boss or perhaps a junior partner in the concern. He has an opportunity to start in the white man's business and learn big business from the ground up and then when he goes into his own business he knows big business. The black man is not going to be given that opportunity. The black man would never be given an opportunity in the steam-hip business to learn the steam-hip business from the ground up. The only way the black man is going to learn the steam-hip business is to engage in that business himself and if he fails he must learn and profit by that experience and then make a try at it again, and if he fails he must start again and make another try; and members of the U. N. L. are determined to try again at another Black Star Line, and keep on trying until they build it. C. line which will touch the sunny shores of Africa (Vociferous appliance). They are willing to try again on chain stores; they are willing to try again at tailor shops because they have learned many things by their training and we are going to keep on trying until we have enriched time as a program of destruction. When I speak of a destructive program I
