The Independent Vol. 7 The Value of the Architectural Digest A Newspaper Designed to the Interests of the Mexican People VOL. XV. No. 10 NEW YORK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1823 PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK SEVEN CENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE GREATER TEN CENTS IN NORRISBURG COUNTY NATIVES WHIPPED FRENCH IN AFRICA—SIGN OF THE TIMES To us has come the news of Africa's gradual awakening. The following bit of news but augments the steady growth of the new spirit by which we hope to conquer: Natives Wipe Out French Troops "PARIS, Oc.t 8. - A band of 300 native riflemen attacked a platoon of sixty French camel troops fifty miles north of Timbuctoo, annihilating the whole detachment after a seven-hour battle, said a dispatch from Dakar Monday. French Hypocrisy At last French hypocrisy has been unearthed in Africa, and the natives now realize that all European exploiters are the same, whether they be English, French or Italian. There is only one thing for four hundred million Negroes to do, exploiter and gospel-grinder hell in Africa. Religious Camouflage Under the guise of religion they have made their inroads into our native land, telling us of Christ, while they busy themselves looking for gold, rubber, oil, coal, diamonds and other minerals. Now, that they have discovered these things, they are endeavoring to establish themselves permanently on the land with the hope of making it another "white man's country." It is truly said that "fools rush in where angels fear to tread," and this can well be applied to Africa. The ancients have left Africa alone; all generations of men, with the exception of the present, have left Africa alone, but the present one seems to be gone mad for power and gold, and they will get all the hell they are looking for in Africa when the time comes. Crazy Europe The French, English, Italians et al. are crazy if they think that four hundred million black men are going to sit down and fold their hands for all time and allow them to rob and exploit Africa, their country. Mussolini, Baldwin and Poincare are drunk. They have forgotten their histories, but united scattered Africa may yet bring them back to their senses. International Robbers The League of Nations and the gang of international robbers may play deaf to the peaceful appeal of the Negro peoples of the world, asking that justice be given the black man and that he be restored to his country as a national entity; but the sin of retribution shall fall upon the heads of those who could have THE BLACK WORLD SHOULD UNITE FOR AFRICA'S REDEMPTION SELLING CHRIST FOR OIL, RUBBER GOLD AND COAL NEGRO NO LONGER BELIEVES IN RELIGION OF GOSPEL-GRINDERS, BUT IN THE REAL CHRIST AFRICA WILL REDEEM THE WORLD BY TEACHING LOVE AND JUSTICE saved the human race and failed to do so when the appeal was made. Arch-Plotters in Europe Again we warn the arch-plotters of Europe to stop their foolish game of plunder in Africa. It will profit them nothing to continue in the course they have adopted, for, indeed, they are piling up only sorrow and remorse for their children. The oil that they are going after today may be oil of tears in the future, for native Africans will yet speak with a voice that not even heaven and hell will forget: World Gone Mad The world is gone mad to think that black humanity has forgotten itself. We are here, and here to stay, and, like all other peoples, to create of ourselves a nation with pride and glory. It is sincerely hoped that no black French soldier will turn against his own at the call of France, or any other nation in Africa. The time has not yet come, but when Africa calls we hope to see four hundred million black men, women and children standing together. "Divine Confidence" Indeed, our cry has not fallen on deaf ears. At last we have succeeded in dislodging the "divine confidence" that the native African once had in the pale-faced missionary and trader. Thank God, Africa has awakened to see the deception of the centuries. We feel sure that the little incident of defeat for the French around Timbuctoo will help to lessen the awe of the black man for the "divine robber." Let all Senegal, Morocco, Gambia, Togoland and other French-African outposts follow suit. Keep up the propaganda and "give them hell." If oil, gold, coal and diamonds are good for Europeans, they are also good for the native owners and their brothers. Hunting for Trouble What right have France, England, Italy, Belgium, Spain and Portugal to be in Africa? These European robbers and plunderers are still on the path to war and rumors of wars. They are still hunting for trouble, and, by God, they will get it! "The race is not for the swift or for the strong, but to him that endureth to the end"; so that the black world is not afraid of the future, for God's own blessing falls upon us in the prophecy of His Psalmist, that "Princes shall come out of Egypt and Ethiopia stretch forth her hands." Appeal to America We would appeal, however, to democratic, liberal and great white America to save crazy Europe from the doom that awaits them in the continuation of their program of colonial robbery and exploitation. In fact, white America, yellow and brown Asia, and black Africa should unite to curb and prevent Europe from fermenting the greatest of wars that will wreck our civilization and destroy our humanity. 900,000,000 Darker Peoples Again I say, Europe is crazy, if they think that 400,000,000 black men and 500,000,000 yellow and brown people are going to allow them another quarter century of headway to steal and plunder in the name of Christ. Lloyd George would do well to tell his people to stop fooling themselves about the "guardianship of native peoples." These native peoples know them to be a "bunch" of sharks, plunderers and gospel grinders, and we have all lost confidence in you. You have sold Christ beyond the redemption of your own souls and we have purchased Him with the hope of light, truth and justice. Negro Needs Justice The Negro needs nothing more than the things that are his, and for these we now ask the League of Nations, Europe and the rest of the world. The Negro believes in and loves peace; hence, our appeal to reason, but in the name of God and our race we shall possess the land of our fathers. Natives of Africa The demonstration of the natives around Timbuctoo suggests to us that we need a great deal of scientific preparation, for the test of combat will be purely on scientific lines. Let every Negro prepare himself scientifically for Africa, for when hell is again let loose on earth we will have to hold our end in the Motherland. Let us praise God for this awakening, and let us march steadily on till Africa is free. With best wishes for your success, I have the honor to be Your obedient servant, LOS ANGELES, CAL., October 16, 1923.

To the Editor of The Negro World: In keeping with my promise to send you a weekly letter of my impressions while on my vacation, I send you the following, as I am unable to write my numerous friends and well-wishers who would like to hear from me. Sunday night, September 30. After an impressive and enthusiastic meeting at Liberty Hall, New York, we dashed off for the Pennsylvania Station, just in time to hear the familiar shout, "All aboard." It was midnight, and although we tried to observe the rules of the sleeper by being "Quel, Quel." our porter could not help breaking same on recognizing my husband, by "exclamation, "Mr. Garvey, himself—My, my, I—never thought I would have seen you again. Yes indeed, the folks in Pittsburgh are looking out for you." After being rocked in the cradle of a Pullman berth for half a night I woke up to see if I was all there, and, if not, to pull myself together. No sooner had I made my toilet and sat by the window to enjoy the feeble morning sun in its effort to penetrate the mist, than a wafter came along with dignified steps, and, as it were, chanting these words: "Lost call for breakfast! Dining car in the rear." We went into the dining car, and after having breakfasted, I said to myself the meal was worthy of that sygnacoid chant. Colored porters and waiters have certainly built up a reputation for Pullman cars. At about 10.30 we reached Pittsburgh. An usual Pittsburgh had all her furnaces lit, and her chimneys smoking, some belching forth flames. The smoke hung thick and low in the skies like rain clouds. This town controls the coal and steel mines of the outlying districts; it refines and moulds steel articles for local consumption and more particularly for export to all parts of the world. Negro laborers got from fifty to sixty cents per hour, working eight hour shifts. Some of the large plants employ negro foremen. The influx of immigrants from the South has not affected the labor market, but it has affected to a great extent the housing conditions. Driving from the station, I noticed large placards, with the inscription, "Propare for the Ku-Klux Klan." On enquiring; I learned that the Klan was expected any night to parade through the city. In the afternoon the Local Division had a large parade, which was well attended by the uniformed ranks of the Organization, and members in automobiles and on foot. At 8.30 we arrived at "The People's Tabernacle," where 2,000 people crowded the building, with hundreds on the outside who could not get in. Some came from East Liberty, Duquesne, Braddock and others from West Virginia. Cheers after cheers rent the air when my husband mounted the platform, and it was with difficulty that the crowd was kept from surging up to him in order to shake his hands. Mr. H. L. Keith of the "Pittsburgh American" was Chairman of the meeting, and graciously and tactfully handled the program. The keynote of his remarks was, "Make it Snappy." Mr. Hunter, the banker, gave a welcome address, and drew a picture of the practical application of the Diving Command, "Launch out into the Deep." I am not attempting to write up the meeting, as Mr. Kolth promised to send a diagonalographic report to you; I am merely giving you and my friends snatches of what I saw and heard. "Only a Negro." Mr. R. L. Poston, our worthy Secretary General, was present, immaculately dressed in a herring bone pants, and what my Dad used to call a scissors tail coat, with patent leather shoes. He certainly did cut a pathetic figure when he said, "You know, friends, I journeyed from New York to Pittsburgh on the train, and observed that no one paid any attention to me. There I was all dressed up, and looking as good as I could under the circumstances, without attracting the slightest bit of attention; but when white men came on the train everybody observed them, and I began to figure this thing out, and came to the conclusion that the reason why those white men attracted attention was because one might have been the President of the Railroad Company or the President of the Nation; but everybody seemed to know me, I was only a colored man, and they might have thrown me off the train, and all you would have read in the newspapers is that a Negro was thrown off the train." It was a humorous way to give home a truth, and to illustrate the need for a government of our own to protect us, and a Country of our own where we can develop along all lines of endeavor, in order to get the respect and command the attention of other races and nations. My husband apologe for more than an hour. He described the two schools of thought in the race, and showed how the New Negro had evolved a philosophy of his own and refused to apply white men's philosophy to the needs, yearnings and ambitions of black men. He drew a vivid and realistic picture of two competitive races (black and white) lying side by side in this country, and showed that the future hooded ill for the weaker of the two if no provision is made now, as this weak and unprepared race is bound to starve and die, through economic pressure. In closing, he expressed his deep gratitude and appreciation to the members of the division, who in conjunction with the other members of the organization throughout the world made it possible for him to be released, by their splendid example of loyalty and devotion. Such conduct, he said, has caused the world to have a new estimate of the awakened spirit of the Negro, and made them realize that we are a force to be reckoned with in the future. I was deeply impressed with the earnestness and devotion of the members and added my thanks to those of my husband's on introduction by the chairman. So passed the first day of the month, a busy but interesting day, and the morning dawned with its army of inquiring friends and reporters. I had quite an interesting ten minutes with Mrs. Fodora Reeves, city editor of the "Pittsburgh American." She told me of her work on the paper and her efforts to change the views of the women of the race from the sentimental to the material side of life. Not the same Garvey Two thirty p. m., found on boarding the train for Youngstown, Ohio. Arriving there at 4:55 p. m., we were met at the station by Mr. W. Vaughn, the president of the local division, from whom I inquired the reason for the newspaper reports to the effect that the mayor of the city would prevent my husband from speaking there, and had called on the police to enforce his order. "Why," said Mr. Vaughn, smiling, "we got some cheap publicity, A. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1923 Africans Massacre French Garrison DAKAR, French West Africa, Oct. 8.—The massacre of the garrison of a French post sixty miles, north of Timbuktu was revealed today. Armed natives with an estimated strength of 300 rifles surrounded the camp on September 29 during the absence of its commanding officer, who was away reconflortering, and, after a seven-hour siege, exterminated the garrison, consisting of sixty soldiers and one native non-commissioned officer. The French Governor-General of West Africa is organizing an expedition to proceed against the rebels. WHAT THE NEGRO IS UP AGAINST HICKORY, N. C. Oct. 2. Mountaineers, for miles around the little hamlet of Spruce Pine got word that a "nigger" would be lynched and, when they had filled up on the intoxicating liquor known in this section as "white musk," they rushed into the town, using every conceivable means of conveyance. The bolsterous drunks were dis- appointed and, determined to engage in rioting, they invaded a Negro camp where a hundred Negroes were engaged in road building and proceeded to drive the laborers away. Bitter opponents to A. N. Fuller, recently elected mayor of Spruce Pine, took advantage of the opportunity to intimidate the mayor, especially after he had sent a wire to Governor Morrison requesting that he send a company of the State militia to preserve order and protect the law-abiding Negroes who were engaged in work for the State on the highway through the town. Two units of the National guard were immediately dispatched to the town, and the crowd of hoodlums that assembled on the outskirts were dispersed. Negro laborers who hurriedly left the place were sent word that they could return and that they would be protected, are now at work as the soldiers are patrolling the streets. The report that a Negro had attacked an aged white woman gained circulation the latter part of the week. John Goff, a young Negro who had just finished serving a workhouse sentence was accused of the crime, although no evidence was offered the mob that Goff was the guilty party. The mountains were searched, but no trace of the Negro was found. He was later arrested and sent to State prison for safe keeping. As the mob of mountain drunks paraded through the streets of Spruce Pine, armed with shotguns, rifles and pistols, they assembled in a block of one of the main streets and posed for a photograph. Judge Bisay, of the Superior Court, said today that the Mitchell County grand jury will be asked to return indictments against the men who participated in the mob activities and that the photograph would be used as evidence. East Tennessee News. NEWS FROM LONDON Boycotting of Negro Seamen A London correspondent sends The Negro World the following news item: Negro World the following news item The Seamen's Union and the Board of Trade are hoycotting black men in London, Southampton, Liverpool and Hull. The shipping companies are also discriminating against carrying black men as sailors, and this has caused untold hardships on the Negroes in England, and the 4,000 in London in particular, the majority of whom are seamen. Negroes are being treated very discouragously in England and made to feel that they are not wanted. A black girl in Healing, although she was willing to do almost any sort of work, was unable to obtain employment on account of her color, and rather than go on the streets she committed suicide. Our brothers in the West Indies should boycott the English and refuse to unload British ships until they carry black men. When the British discriminated against the East Indians the latter boycotted, the English until they carried Indians on the crew. Our West Indian brethren must unite and help us, realizing that if we stand solidly together we will wield a powerful force, but if they ignore the cry for help when it is sent out by black men in distant lands, then we must perish for our self-hiness. We trust that this matter will be brought to the attention of the labor leaders in the West Indies, and especially to Mr. Bath Avieh in Kingston, Jamaica, and we earnestly pray that they will assist us by taking up the matter with the proper authorities in London. BRITISH ATT1TUDE TOWARDS U. N. I. A. AND MR. GARVEY Duty Great Britain Owes Her Colonists and Her Own Selfish Interests Conflict at Every Point Prof. Arnold H. Maloney, of the Department of Philosophy and Psychology at Wilberforce University, has sent the following interesting letter to the London Times: Sir-Negroes the world over have been watching; noting and studying the attitude of Great Britain toward Marcus Garvey and the movement known as the Universal Negro Improvement Association, of which he is the organizer and President; general. That attitude has been characterized. first, by frenzied excitability; secondly by studied hostility; and, finally, by serene contempt; but never by an honest desire seriously to understand either the man or the movement. In the economy of providence, Great Britain has been charged with the great responsibility of bearing the lorch of culture and civilization to the less advantaged peoples of the world. This responsibility she has hone with honor, dignity and credit. But has she not been a rather unnatural parent? That father who would block the pathway of his child in his strivings after manhood, self-sufficiency and self-dependence proves recrent to his trust. As with individuals, so with nations; it is their to foster the maturing spirit of youth rather than to ignore or thwart it. The phenomenon of Garveyism represents the spirit of budding manhood on the part of the Negro people of the world. The lot of the Negro in the present world order is a hard one. On every hand he is regarded as an interloper and treated as such. His rights are not allowed; his immunities are not granted; his ambitions are prescribed. Mr. Garvey feels that this distressing lot would be altered if the Negro, like other racial groups, could assemble his scattered civilization and focus it upon the objective of self-government. He believes that the Negro peoples of the world have reached that point in their racial evolution when such means as are adequate to self expression are imperative. Mr. Editor, is that an unhappy emotion? In the upholding of His Majesty's empire N-geens have played their part right nobly and well. They have responded to every call for patriotic service in the past, and they are ready now to do so should the occasion arise. But, like the Son of Man, they saved others; themselves they cannot save. Hence, they are asking the nations of the world in general, and Great Britain in particular, to give them a foothold in Africa. They say Africa because Africa is their ancestral home. They might have said anywhere were it not for those ethnological, geographical and sentimental reasons. Great Britain, France, Italy, Belgium Portugal and others have presented Africa. Imperial expansion, the safeguard and protection of the helpless natives, these have been advanced to just and sufficient reasons for annexation, parching but and conquering. They have pressed "the brother's keeper" idea into over-time service. But at last the brother is asking for the right to be his own keeper. The statesmanship of the world is in quest of peace; but, Mr. Editor, how can peace be gained whilst Islamah in the wilderness weeps? That voice cannot be hushed with palpatives. Daily does it grow in volume and in reach. Unheeded, it may some day turn out to be the blood of Abel crying from out the trained earth. But it is not too late. The dream of the Negro can yet come true. And, by virtue of her unique position among the nations, Great Britain can contribute materially toward this consummation. This she can do by relinquishing part of her trusteeship in Africa, permitting the natives with the help of their fellows from the western world to build up for themselves upon the foundations already laid a national habitation. A national point of reference and a name. Such a turn in diplomacy would elicit the gratitude of Negro colonists who will forever remain, such as well as crown great Britain with the laurels of international altruism. As one of the spokesmen of the Negro race I am pleading at the bar of British justice for a rational consideration of the claims of Africa's sons at home and abroad. A. H. MALONEY, M. A. The Knoxville committee is working for better housing and health conditions. The city attorney had granted a bill which makes it unwelcome to rent out unassigned houses. Moorish Tribesmen Resume Fighting MADRID, Oct. 5—An official statement issued today shows that there has been a resumption of fighting between the Spanish forces and the Medieval tribesmen in Morocco. The statement says: These we have with us always, people who continually see coming nothing but calamity of some kind. Every winter to them is going to be harder than the last. Every coming year they prophecy work is going to be scarcer. CALAMITY HOWLERS "A convoy was attacked by the enemy near our positions at Tia-alesza. ... Lieut. Col. Antonio-Pastor and a soldier of the artillery lost their lives in the skirmish. food dearer and taxes higher. According to them crime is on the increase, and pestilence lurks just around the corner. They lament the going of all young people to the dogs and long for the good old days when people were gander and healthier, when winters were not so severe, work and food more plentiful and all was well in Denmark. "Our aviators have reconmeitered the front lines of the enemy and bombarded them. "One of our seaplanes engaged with other machines in reconnoitering at Alhuemba returned in a damaged condition," All has never been well with the calamity howler. Every generation has its howlers who see everything at present going to pieces and look for the good old days. Yester- day's generations had those who saw everything on the brink of rupture and longed for the good old days when all was well. The generation day before yesterday had its crop of howlers. Today we still have these with us in abundance. The good old days seem always just behind to those who see nothing but calamity ahead. If disease, famine or all the disasters prophesied had visited this old world, every time the howl of calamity went up, Washington would have never crossed the Delaware, Joan of Arc would have never raised the siege of Orleans, Caesar would have never crossed the Rubicon, and Jesus Christ would have never been whipped up Golgotha's height with a cross upon his shoulder, because the world would have passed away long before any of these came upon the scene of action. Every age has had its prophesies of sudden disaster. From the beginning the howlers of calamity have always told us that the end was nigh. We have those today who have seized upon the recent earthquake in Japan and rumors of war in Italy as positive proof that this old world is nearing its end. The world will pay but little attention to all this rot and bunk. Humanity has heard so much of this, age in and age out, that it has about reached the point now of being calamity-proof. That is, the prophesying of calamity affects it but little in its onward march toward perfection. In spite of the many prophesies, the world goes on growing better, bigger and more human each day. WHAT MIGRATION MAY ACCOMPLISH FOR US Ignorance the Common Heritage—Must Be Overcome, or We Perish White supremacy is being put to a severe test in America in these times. Negro migration from the South might be the straw that will break the camels back. In the light of the world's historical social failures one can but wonder why the South persists in its stupid maintenance of its filmy "color problem." That there is a social problem everywhere about us no one will attempt to deny. It affects all the elements of the nation and it is the basic reason, why we are all seriously engaged in effort to keep alive the spirit of the democracy upon which the government was founded. Ignorance prevails all too insolently among the Negroes. But for that matter ignorance obtains all too blatantly among all the elements which go to establish the presence of the American people as a fact of American social existence. The world today is better than ever. It feels more its brother's care than it did one thousand, five hundred or one hundred years ago. In fact the world is practicing more Christianity today than it did when Jesus walked and talked with men. We have more free hospitals, free BETTER brother's care than it did one thousand, five hundred on AND one hundred years ago. In fact the world is practicing more Christianity today than it did when Jesus walked and talked with men. We have more free hospitals, free medical service, asylums and libraries than any age yet. Homes to take care of aged people and orphan children, schools for the blind and the deaf, housing for the poor, worn and wayward outnumber by many thousands those of any previous century or age. Man wish the weapons of science in his harde has less to fear from disease, hunger and pestilence today than he did yesterday. Humanity feels itself more a great family, and we are approaching nearer the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man than ever in the world's history. What one nation or people suffer is no longer simply their "hard luck," but the world is aroused and rushes more quickly to the aid of suffering humanity anywhere than ever before. "Every day in every way the world grows better and better." The white South is not lagging behind anybody in the race of social ignorance. One of the chief troubles is that the South has kept its eyes and gills closed to the truth. In the more general way it will not heed the signs of the times. A "New South" and a "New Negro" are equally present. The intelligent world is widening, "Nordic intelligence" is almost new to greeneries. If the reawakened intelligence of the Negro was less virgin in aspect we could well afford to stand by and enjoy a hearty laugh at the expense of our brothers-in-white. But thanks be to the fates there is more serious business at hand to do. Whatever the white man makes up his mind to do we must steady our heads and set about creating higher standards of intelligence than has marked our social progress up to this time of American history. We have immediately before us the work of adapting our tropical natures to the impressions of a temperate zone of civilization. We have neglected to take into sensible account the more important fields of temperate zone life. It does not matter that the white man is lamentably ignorant of what constitutes the basic forces of his own civilization. If there were no Negroes in America, who knows but the white man would still be worried with problems of social ignorance and questions of social health. It is our duty to go him one better and go seriously about the work of giving to the world a character of civilization that will be truly civilized in all social particulars. Nothing less than this will answer. Our race is composed of splendid elements of character and notable powers of mental ability. Yes, it is true that there is in the world today much hate, prejudice, strife, and ignorance. We know that corruption is rife throughout many nations. Right and justice, upon which new character and greatness are built. are being neglected on every hand. Constitutions are interrupted to serve the selfish designs of unscrupulous men, religious thought is fossilizing and losing its power to control. Privileged classes and aristocrats push the democratic spirit to the rear. The world of nations is being centralized in the hands of a few. Political parties serve the purpose not of the people, but of captains of industry and finance. Irrelevant disregard for authority which manifests itself in the K. K. K. and organizations of similar character is spreading everywhere. Luxury, extravagance and idleness are sapping the life of society. Sensationalism, nervousness, and hysteria in literature, religion, fashions and reform have taken the place of the cool, calm, steady, same methods of a few generations back. Money, territory and political power have set the world mad. Man enslaves, exploits, robs and crushes man in his struggle for mastery and power. Nations today stand on the verge of destruction. All seems dark and gloomy. Yet in spite of all this, the world is better today and in a more hopeful position than it was yesterday. All of this is but the clouds and fogs which rise in the path of human progress. Because we hear waker people everywhere crying for larger liberties and self-determination: because we see India refusing to be the foot mat of the British Empire, and hear Africa declare that she will be free, if she must wade through her own blood to be so, does not mean that the world is going on the rocks. It does not mean that human progress has broken down; it simply means the birth in the world of a new order of things, and with all birth there is pain. The suffering and pain which the world is undergoing at the present time is that which always accompanies the birth of a new order. Man will not give up because the fogs rise and the way becomes cloudy. In his moments of inspiration and light he has seen the whole way and, although the clouds obstruct his view at the present time, he will struggle on until the way becomes clear. The clouds will soon pass and humanity will see again the shining sun. Man will be true to his ideals whether he can see clearly today or met. He will maintain an attitude of faith, courage, hope and determination in order that he might survive the storm. He will not go down because some, instead of giving courage, constantly howl calamity. We must quit scratching the surface of life. I am constrained to believe that the "migration" fever has a deep social significance. The present temperate zone blood has done about all that it is capable of doing for the general social good of the human family. It needs to be freshened again by warm infusion of tropical blood. I know that it is holding up its hands in the holy horror of a strong protest against this sort of social procedure, but Nature will have its pound of flesh no matter what might be the blacker the white say concerning what shall be done to preserve the human species of life. Six or seven great civilizations have tried their hands at wild social experiments. They each have failed. Therefore, I conclude that the precedents they have left to us have small social value. They have historical significance, yes, but no final social value. Ignorance is the prevailing social order of the day. As I have already intimated, the Negro must arrive to become truly intelligent, no matter what the white man thinks about the question either for himself or for others. Less vanity, more hours for genuine social work. Power generals, more private soldiers in the tanks. Yes, we have very little social wisdom.—Denver Star. The man or woman who always expects the worst to happen is not worth much to the community, the State, the world, nor himself or herself. This kind of people can at most be called "non-eastern citizen." Those who NON-ESSENTIALS happen is not worth much to the community, the State, the world, nor himself or herself. This kind of people can at most be called "non-essential citizens." They always see calamity just around the corner. They are constantly expecting to be sick, break a leg, lose a job or meet with something unpleasant in some form or other and they generally get what they expect. They see nothing but failure. Everything to them is going on the rocks and as far as they are concerned everything is. The people who move the world are the ones who visualize nothing but health, growth and success. They hunt for nothing but success. They look for nothing but the good and the pleasant, and that is what they generally find. They forget their misfortunes, mistakes and bad feelings, which may be many, and they think constantly not of their nor the world's short-comings, but the long-comings. Their chests are full of courage, their hearts full of hope. It is this attitude which-pushes the world along. DO NOT NEGLECT YOUR EDUCATION!

IS GIBRALTAR OF NEGRO FREEDOM LIBERTY HALL, NEW YORK, Oct. 14.—That the propaganda of the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been instrumental in awakening in the western world interest in Africa and bringing about a perceptible change of sentiment regarding the African people and African affairs is manifested by the attention that is now being given to Africa by the press, the pulpit and the public generally. With especial reference to Western Negroes it has aroused sympathy among them for their African brothers and caused them to recognize their kinship with them, which herefore was almost denied. Where prior to the coming into being of the Universal Negro Improvement Association Negroes were wont to look with disdain and contempt upon their unfortunate brothers in Africa as savage and semi-civilized creatures, separate and apart from them, they now regard them as brothers in arms, having mutual interests, mutual hopes and aspirations. And this change of sentiment urges them on to a furtherance of their support of the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, since the goal of its activities is centered on the freedom and redemption of Africa. phase of the speeches in Liberty Hall tonight evoked more enthusiasm and spilled applause from the large gathering present than the allusion made by Hon William L. Sherrill to the fact that the natives of Africa had through the Universal Negro Improvement Association, been brought to a sense of unity among themselves and a realization of the fact that whether they be in North, South, East or West Africa, they were all one, defying for the same cause their freedom and the emancipation at their institution. In this accomplishment lies the practical good which the U. N. L. A. has wrought in the short space of five years and the possibility of the fulfillment of its program, gigantic and impossible though it may seem, to reclaim Africa and restore it once again to the race to whom Providence has decreed it should belong. The audience in Liberty Hall tonight was also cheered by a student from Hon. Marcus Gurray, extending his good wishes and the greetings of other divisions throughout the country to the New York local, and announcing that he would return to New York and speak in Liberty Hall on November 9. A splendid musical program was rendered tonight and the speakers were Hon. William Sherrill, First Assistant President-General; Hon. P. L. Burrows, First Assistant Secretary-General; Mr. J. Eary, Chapkin of the Brooklyn Division, and Hon. James O'Mealy, High Commissioner of the N. I. A. The speeches were of an inspiring character, and especially that delivered by Mr. Sherrill, who thrilled the audience with his powerful choreography and his wonderful percussion in de- GAS IN THE STOMACH IS DANGEROUS Recommends Daily Use of Magnesia to Overcome Trouble Caused by Fermenting Food and Acid Indigestion Gas and wind in the stomach accompanied by that full, bloated feeling after eating, are almost certain evidence of excessive acetic acid hydrochloric acid in the stomach, creating so-called "acid indigestion." Acid stomachs are dangerous because too much acid irritates the delicate lining of the stomach, often leading to ulcers. The most common stomach ulcers. Food ferments and soils, creating the distressing gas which distends the stomach and hampers the normal functions of the vital internal organs, often affecting the heart. It is the worst of folly to neglect such a serious condition or to treat with ordinary digestive aids which are not effective on the stomach acids.

It is also safe with no risk of hypersalinity. plitting the past achievements of the Negro and the potentialities of the program of the U. N. I. A. in again enabling the Negro race to present to the world a civilization that shall equal and epilogue that any mankind has ever seen. "The program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association," he wound up by saying, "is one that should inspire hope and courage and determination in every black man." I cannot understand," he continued, "how a black man who has lived in America under the cruelties of segregation, disfranchisement and lynch law; how a black man' who has lived in the West Indies or in Africa, where injustices of all kinds are inflicted out to Negroes, can hear of a program like this of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and not have his heart to burn, not have the passions in his soul around. The U. N. I. A. is calling all black folks in Harlem, the U. N. I. A. is calling all black folks the world over to a consciousness of themselves, for we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association have sworn that we will not stop—we will not let the Red, the Black, and the Green touch the ground; we will not let this great organization cease in its struggle towards its objective until Africa has been redeemed and four hundred million Negroes can sing "Home Sweet Home." Following is the text of the speeches BON. P. L. BURROWS ADDRESS Hon. Perval Burrows, First Assistant Secretary General, then addressed the meeting. At the outset of his speech he referred to a recent visit to the Perth Amboy Division, where, he said, he found the people determined and firm for the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. He compared the spirit he met at Perth Amboy with that at Liberty Hall, New York City, and declared that, with none of the advantages of the New York Local, the Perth Amboy Division was just as loyal to the cause and enthused over the work of African redemption. Proceeding, he said the Hon. William Sherrill had said Liberty Hall had become a monument of New York city, but he would go further and say that Liberty Hall had become a world monument. Liberty Hall was known throughout the world as the Gibraltar of Negro freedom, the cradle of Negro Liberty and the place where the thought of a free and redeemed Africa was given birth. The Universal Negro Improvement Association and its program stood out today as the Gibraltar of the Negro, and Liberty Hall was the cornerstone of this monument referred to. For five years the U. N. I. A. had progressed, with-training the shock of the enemy, and it had done this through the determination of an inspired people who were wiling not only to redeom Africa but to see that after it is redeemed it is held inviolate forever and a day by the Negro peoples of the world. Only a heaven-sent institution could have stood the test the U. N. I. A. had stood, and with the continued support of its members it will continue to work out its destiny. Nothing to Be Ashamed Of The speaker then made an appeal for unity and a perfect understanding of the alms and objects of the association. If only members would appreciate and understand them as well as the nations of the world all would be well, he declared. The world was worrying about the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association because they saw its potentialities, and yet some Negroes professed to be ashamed of it. The U. N. J. A. as a matter of fact, was teaching the Negro among other things that he had little, to be ashamed of. The Negro race had played its part in the history of mankind; it had done more for civilization than any other race. Many of the things today regarded as inventions were commonplaces in Negro civilization thousands of years ago, he was convinced. Mr. Burrows ended his address with an appeal to his audience and to the Negroes of the world to take themselves more seriously. The U. N. I. A., he said, a serious proposition, and the nations of the world seemed to realize this more than some Negroes themselves. Maruse Garvey was the eycnopure of all eyes because in him was seen the emancipation of the spirit of the new Negro who was not contented with begging and pleading for the things that belong to him. Black men must wake up and shoulder their responsibilities and be dissatisfied until the Red. The Black and the Green was hobbled in the motherland. (Applause.) HON. WM. SHERRILL'S SPEECH Mon. Wm. W. Sherrill, said his remarks would be very brief and that he would refrain from saying anything if it were not for the fact that the audience here at Liberty Hall—at Liberty Hall audiences always do—has thrilled him to the point of speaking if only for a short while. "It is indeed encouraging," he said, "to note that night after night hundreds and thousands of people crowd Liberty Hall. You are here tonight by the thousands, you will be here next Sunday night by the thousands, and on and on throughout the year you come crowding Liberty Hall. When we see such demonstration as this it is not necessary for us to glean a reason; it is not necessary for us to ask any questions at all. Tonight you could be, perhaps, at some show; you could be at some church service of your preference; tonight you could be enjoying a friendly chat with some of your friends; you could have spent tonight some other way, but of your own will and volition you have chosen to spend tonight at Liberty Hall. What: Does It Mean? "What does it mean? This demonstration night after night simply means that the Negro is anxious now about himself—that the Negro has now found himself; that the Negro has now come into possession of a new ambition, has now come into possession of a new ideal, is now looking forward to a new goal. Have you stopped to realize that it is an absolute necessity for the Universal Negro Improvement Association to live and continue its work? Have you stopped to realize that the Negro has reached a point in his racial development which makes such an organization necessary? Have you stopped to realize that if the Universal Negro Improvement Association in some way were to suffer disruption that there would immediately come on the scene another organization of similar character? The Negro Must Have an Organization "The Negro has reached the point where he must have an organization like the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The Negro has reached the point in his development where he has thrown off the old order of things and is looking forward to the ushering in of a new order. These demonstrations Sunday night after Sunday night simply begreak the fact that the Negro is tired of the old, that the Negro stands at a point in his development where he wants a new civilization. The Negro is tired of a civilization that believes in crushing and damming and enslaving a whole race of people at the expense of others. The Negro is tired of a civilization that believes in giving some Illinois of a country certain rights and denying these same rights to other citizens. The Negro is tired of a civilization that believes in lynching and burning certain portions of its citizenship and agonizing and elevating others. The Negro today is restless, is impatient and wants a civilization that believes in all men up and no men down. The Change Wrought by U. N. I. A. Propaganda You can tell by reading the newspapers the change that has been wrought among Negroes by the influence of the propaganda of the Univer-sa Negro Improvement Association. The Negro as never before calls for a change, years for the new. Negroes having begun to learn through the Universal Negro Improvement Association something of the greatness and splendor of the achievement of their own race, hunger for more. Negroes today who know but little of their history are beginning to read history not only on the link, but between the lines in order that they may know more of what Negroes themselves have contributed. Negroes are tired of the old history which tells only of the white man's achievements. They want something that is new; they want a history which when it begins to tell of great men, will tell of great men among the black man. Negroes, today not only want new history, but they want a new Bible. The Negro today manifest by his restlessness that he wants a new order of things; the old order has come very near discouraging the black man. I do not know what the Negro would have done had it not been for the war of 1914 and what it has meant to the race, the more I am convinced that it was a war of Providence; that it was one of Providence's ways of opening new avenues for a race; for out of that avenue the Negro has given birth to an ambition he would never have dreamed of, perhaps, for the next fifty years. Before the war of 1914 every group of Negroes was trying to work out its own destiny under the particular government where it happened to find itself. In the West Indies they had their own racial movements; they had their own movements; they had their own newspapers. Before the war the West Indian Negro thought but little about uniting his fight with the American Negro; he had his own clubs and moved in his own circle. Before the war the African Negro thought nothing of uniting his organization with the American or West Indian Negro. They had their own African congresses, their own organizations on the continent of Africa, and had no particular concern about the American Negro or the West Indian. But this great war, which I believe was providential, awakened in the Negro a new ambition—not the ambition of being a part of the great British Government; not the ambition of being some little public official in the West Indian or some Little political benechman in America, but that of being a full-Sedged politician, on the continent of Africa; an ambition has been awakened in the Negro to be a part of nobody's government, but to be only a part of a great movement of Negroes themselves. (Applause.) The Path to Nationhood Since this ambition has been awakened in Negroes there is no need for enemies to antagonise or try to disrupt the Universal Negro Improvement Association. If they would succeed in destroying the Universal Negro Improvement Association this new ambition among Negroes would manifest itself in an organization of similar character; perhaps it might take on a new name, but it would be the same organization in assistance, for the Negro must have an organization that preaches nationhood. The Negro is determined to take the path that will bring him this nationhood; that is the path of suffering, not the path of boggling and pleading, but the path of sacrifice, the path of work, the path of blood. This is the path that all races have trod. The Negro knows no other way to go about getting his freedom than along the same lines other races have traveled. If we knew some other method; if some other race or nation had set another precedent, perhaps we would follow that if we thought it would be a little bit easier. But if we require to attain freedom we must be guided by the same laws other nations have been guided by when they struck the road for freedom. If I am going to raise corn I must obey the same laws the farmer across the way obeys if I am to get a healthy crop of corn. If Negroes are to reach the point of nationhood they will be compelled to travel the same path their predecessors have traveled toward the goal of nationhood. If you look back down the path others have trod you will find that path is payed, with money, hedged about with suffering and sacrifice, every milestone spawned with the blood of any who attempted to stop them in their onward march. Have Counted the Cost The Negro is just determined. Do not think that those who lead the organization have not counted the cost of their leadership. The Hon. Marens Garvey has said he himself before he launched this movement counted the cost and every Negro who comes to that table and puts his name on the roll of membership counts the costs and is willing to pay even if it be his own life. The Effect of Garveyism in Africa "The Effect of Garveyism in Africa "Mr. Browne, said that nowhere were coming here to find out whether we are serious or not. Statesmen do not have to come to America to find out whether the Negro is soelic, travel to the continent of Africa and see what a changed man the African is from what he was in 1914 (Applause) (Great Britain recently sent an investigator to travel throughout Africa to find out what effect Garveyism was having on the native African, and the investigation came back reporting that everywhere that he went in Africa he discovered that the putty knew something about this Universal Negro Improvement Association. He even heard the interviews in their conversation of work in the shop, and on the cooforms and in the interview about this man Garvey and asking one another if they had had a real about him. He heard Negroes telling one another this: "That man Garvey in America is black man all over." Black man in West Africa is black man in North Africa; that black man in East Africa no more black man in South Africa; we all one." Black man in South Africa does not exactly understand as fully as you understand but the Negro World is going there the Negro World is going to have every week; we have our means of getting it interpreted. We have our means of getting the information on the continent of Africa to the native. He had a very vague idea of what we doing, but he is beginning to understand one soela, fact, and that is that Garvey said the black man is one U. N. I. A. Has Made the Negro One "You talk about ways and means of redeeming Africa. When we get the native African realizing everywhere that the black man is one, we can do even spot on the great continent of Africa (Applause). That is what the Univers. Negro Improvement Association has done in the past four years. You cannot calculate that in dollars and cents. You talk about what the Universal Negro Improvement Association has done? The Universal Negro Improvement Association has awakened as never before the great continent of Africa and is preparing for the final march to real nationhood." The Federation of Governments of the World "We hear a lot of talk today among the great aidesmen of the world about federation of the governments of the world. H. G. Wells, who has begun recently to write in the Heurst papers is a great advocate of the federation of the nations of the world. Lord Robert Coel advocated the same thing at the League of Nations last year. What do they mean? They say the world should be federated and there should be developed a great superstate; that is, that this superstate will be applied will have ammunition and soldiers, battleships and submarines and aeroplanes at its command and will hold the same position in a federated world that the capital, at Washington holds, in the United States Government. . . That to bring about peace all that is needed to be done is to take from all nations their arms and ammunition, their weapon of warfare and centralize them into one big place—it may be the League of Nations, in order that if France starts trouble, just like they send Federal troops from Washington to stop trouble in any of the States of the United States, the troops of this federation would be sent to any part of the world to stop disturbance. "Now, the while man is cunning. He has begun now to talk about a federated world; but the Negro is not in any position to talk about a federated world. What does a federated world mean to the black man in his position now? A federated world would simply mean that that federation would be nominated by those powers that dominate the world already—England, France and America would dominate any federation that was brought about in the world today. What can the black man expect from a federation dominated by England, France and America? It means this federated world will make international laws. These laws will be so made as to prohibit him from making certain developments on the continent of Africa. Not Anxious Africa Must Be Rentored We tell Lord Robert Coul and H.G. Wells that four hundred million black men, in there will be no more until world there will be no more until Africa has been restored to the children of the one-third. Aphrodite.

"And this white man that is telling us what to do and when to do it and where to do it—who is he anyway? Who is this white man that rules practically the whole world? Who is this white man that tells Negroes so far and no further? Who is this white man that tells us on what street we shall live? Who is this white man that tells us in what town we shall live and what town we shall get out of? Has he always been the powerful man he is? Has he always been able to enshure and exploit, to drive and run? Who is he? Turn, back your pages of history and you will find out this same white man that drives you and kicks you and buffets you has not always been civilized; he has not always had kingdoms and armies and battleships. He was one or savage himself. He once roamed through England, marrying and scarring his body with stains of wood, making burial mounds to gods of stone and practicing cannibalism. He has now grazed himself from the lowest depths of degradation to the highest pinnacle of fame. He was not only a savage but a slave. Clever tells us in one of his letters to Aitous that the ugliest and stupidest of slave came from Britain. This same white man has worked as a slave to the West Indies, and history tells us, Palgayre, I think, tells us that Grover Cleveland's grandfather was an Irish slave in Connecticut. He has come through slavery himself. If he has done this, carewet we black men made of the same flesh and no more, the same lives do the same thing. We believe we can.

George Washington, beyond Christopher Columbus, long before Cleopatra ever wrote his De Senectute or Homer ever sang. Turn back long before Rome ever rose from her seven hills or Greece ever boasted of her civilization; turn back 5,000 years before God Almighty saw fit to send His only begotten Son into this world, and you will find that thousands of years ago black men in the valley of the Nile were smelling from, and acquaintling feats that are still buffing the scientific minds of the twentieth century. "And when you get back, if you will turn and face the Sphinx you will read there the handy work of your forefathers. If you will turn back and gaze at the Pyramids you will see their glory. The black race has been one of the greatest races the world has ever seen. But the world has not yet seen what the Negro, can achieve and accomplish. Wait until four hundred millions awaken to the propaganda of the Universal Negro Improvement Association; wait until Africa is redeemed, and then you will see come on the scene a mightier race than the world has ever seen, a more scientific age greater achievement and greater accomplishment. You will see four hundred million Negroes taking their places beside the nations of the world and making their contributions to civilization and to progress. (Applause.) A Call.

THE BRITISH.EMPIRE IS DEAD IT will be of general interest to a host of readers of The Negro World to learn that the British Empire is dead. The growth of British colonies scattered around the globe is responsible for the growth of the British Empire, one of the most potential aggregations of peoples under one government since Rome gave law and Greece gave letters to the world. The World War is directly responsible for the momentous change. Since the Paris Peace Conference the former British dominions have insisted that the Versailles treaty, with the exception of India, make them nations. They signed the treaty as individual States, and under its provisions gained membership in the League of Nations. Announcement has been made from London that the Imperial Conference, now in session, has decided to substitute as proper the British Connionwealth of Nations for the British Empire. The difference is radical and far reaching. Downing Street is no longer the last resort and despair of the wronged and oppressed colonist, with appeal to Parliament; he must look for that to the government of his Dominion. That places the wronged and outraged native peoples of the Union of South Africa, for example, at the mercy of such an intellectual brute as Jan Smuts and his Dutch advisors, although, if it had not been for the loyal support of the native blacks included in the present Union of South Africa, the British may not have conquered Oom Krueger and his Dutchmen of the Triansvaal. Rebellion against the tyrannous government which the Union of South Africa, with the authority of Premier Smuts, is the last resort of the despiled and defrauded and outraged natives. And it will come to that. Such government, as the Dutchmen have imposed on the natives of the Union of South Africa cannot prevail and survive. It must die. The British Empire is dead. How long will the British Commonwealth of Nations survive? That is not a problem in mathematics. The British Empire died because it did not keep faith with the natives under its rule in the colonies; the British Commonwealth of Nations will die if it fails to do so. Do we expect it to keep the faith? We do not. "Perfidious Albion" only keeps faith with the strong. IS THERE ANY SUCH THING AS "THE WHITE SOUL OF AMERICA? THE editor of The Negro World has received the following letter from Mr. A. Muldaun, of 251 Fifth avenue, New York: Sir—Mr. Garvey's appeal, perhaps, might have been more effective, were it made to the white soul of America rather than the soul of white America. As a member of the white race, I admire his frankness toward my own race as well as his own, but I question his solution. Mr. Garvey predicts the crowding of America, more workers than jobs, and the white man rioting when he sees the dark man take his job. A year ago I saw the same sort of rioting in Poland. Polish workers fought for jobs held by Germans and Jews. I also saw riots in England where English workers fought each other for jobs. The color or nationality of the men holding the job that you want, might truly make the riot more intense or call it out coser, but hunger does not even respect the laws of race distinctions, and hunger there will be under an economic system that suffers by its very production. I do wonder whether the anomalies of such brave man as Mr. Garvey and others of the dark race, could not be used to a more permanent solution of the problem, if they were applied towards the office that is now univariable, namely, the freeing of economic slaves regardless of color and relationship. I may be wrong in thinking so. As a white man not suffering so much as men do I would naturally look for two different a solution. All I want to accomplish with this letter is to give another angle of the situation which gives the dark race must not overlook. We have an almost frank speaking and a brave front are neces- many of all people who have the heel of oppression upon their necks and are held in so many words by famous dreamers who live the life of the White Man's Burden" (The White Man's Burden) and who are the dreamers and those who see visions, such as Rud- der's vision, the English speaking world desires to honor, their faithful defenders to dominate as a mollusk of them and their hopeful and their aspirations, English statesmen who have the Killing attitude of insults for Many recent civilizations and the associated and numerous issues deal with people wherever they are a part of the national systems in which they live, as in the colonies of the United States and Great Britain. And has the United States no colonies? Perhaps not. But do we not treat the people of Haiti, the Virgin Islands, Porto Rico and the Philippines as if they were dependent colonies? Even so. Yes; the Negro needs to think broadly and speak frankly and to have the courage of his convictions wherever his lot may be cast among the nations of the earth and in his native Africa. Is there any such thing as the white soul of America? And what are the constituent attributes of the Soul? The wise men of the ages stammer and stutter here. However, if we accept the theory that the soul is the higher consciousness of the breath of life, we shall not be far amiss if we say that the white soul of America represents the whole people, the Government, and that the soul of white America represents the individual American. While we have received much from white individual contention for political economic justice for us, we have received mighty little from the Government, the white soul of America; which the soul of white America forced the Slave War. upon its protest and against which it has been striving by fire and sword and class legislation to make of no effect ever since Lee surrendered his sword to Grant at Appomattox. It has come to the point where the soul of white America, the Government, and the white soul of America, the individual citizen, are equally deaf or indifferent to our appeal for civil and economic justice. Class legislation and discrimination in the apportionment of representation and common taxation and mob rule have the right of way at this time. If there is any soul in either of them which responds to constitutional guaranty of equality of privileges and immunities, with Christian commandment of brotherly love and consideration, it is provokingly in the minority and is heard but indistinctly, in spots. Both in Christian Europe aid the United States, civil government and the economic system upon which it is built and which sustains it, is on trial; its life is in the balance. The economic system is basically wrong, but unless it can be so reconstructed as to meet the modern requirements of owners, laborers and consumers of their products, it will go to pieces and carry down civil government in the smash. That is threatened now in all Christian governments, ours as well. We can see no advantage in changing from government by capitalism to government by trade unionism, neither of which cares a rap about government by the people, in which the rights of capitalists and laborists are measured by the same rule, and not by special rules, as the rights of those who are neither capitalist nor trade union laborists. We do not say that laborists receive more than they should for their labor, but we do say that capitalists receive a great deal more than they should, while consumers of their products pay for it all, when they have the price demanded. The struggle for "a crust of bread and a place to sleep" is the logical reduction of existence in the competitive industrial slavery. Unless Christian governments prove that they are able to harmonize the conflicting claims of owners and managers of public service utilities, wage earners and consumers, they are not going to endure. They will crumble as autocratic Russia crumbled, and as imperial Britain is admittedly crumbling. And what will be built upon the ruins? Where is the prophet who knows? Mr. Garvey, therefore, will stick to his program as being the wisest and safest; that is, of contending for the redemption of Africa from white domination and exploitation of the liberties and labors of its people and the development of their own governments, and for the largest possible civil and economic justice for Negroes under whatever flag they may serve and strive and hope for higher and better things in living. PROF. LOCKE AT KING TUT'S TOMB WHEN Howard Carter, the co-worker of Lord Carnarvon in the discovery of the tomb of King Tut-Ankh-Amen, at Luxor, in Egypt, which interested mankind everywhere, and which caused the death of Lord Carnarvon, opens the tomb so far as to reach the remains of the king, which it is not purposed to disturb, we understand, the Negro race will have a competent representative on the spot to see what there is to be seen and to report it on his authority as a student of anthropology. The fortunate circumstance was made possible by the foresight and generosity of the Negro Society for Historical Research. The Society for Historical Research, in July last, sent Dr. Alain Leroy Locke, of Howard University, abroad to be present when Mr. Carter should open the tomb again. He has been spending the time in Berlin studying upon Egyptology and conferring with his old German professors and friends, and will be ready to proceed to Egypt at the psychological moment. Our patrons who want to know about the matter should read what Sir John Edward Bruce has to say about it in this issue of "The Negro World," in "The Passing Show." The Negro Society for Historical Research has placed the race under obligations by sending sp scholarly a person as Prof. Locke to be on the spot when further opening of King Tut's tomb shall be made. We want to know the truth from one of our own, and Prof. Locke is capable of grasping and giving it to us. NEWS NOTES OF INTEREST — Harmony between the races by interpreting the one to the other is to be the keynote of the annual meeting of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, to be convened in Atlanta, Ga. on the 25th and 26th of this month. "Ye shall know the truth and the truth will make you free," has been exemplified in this effort to publish to the world the significant achievements of the Negro contrasted with the beat elements of the civilizations of other races. Dr. C. G. Woodson is the director of the association. — The National Urban League will hold its annual conference in Kannan City, Mo. October 15-19. — Mr. G. N. Nicholia, writing from Guatemala City, advises of the death of Mr. Rufus Carmichal, a faithful member of the division of that city, who leaves a widow and many friends. — We use the Lincoln Services. — There are more foreign-born whites in Guatemala. Southern States, than there are Negro people in all of the southern States combined. - Interested parties both white and Negro, are studying plants for the solution of housing problems which are confronting the Negro people of Baltimore, Md. Negro people in 1924, with the Elks, Odd Fellows, and Shrimers holding their respective conventions in the "Iron City." — From the figures contained in the first financial report of the Prudential Bank of Washington, D. C. that institution is moving forward rapidly and successfully, with a steady stream of incoming deposits and other resources. — While a $33,500 penny case was in litigation in the Federal Court at Norfolk, Va., a Negro band, playing "Yes. We Have No Bananas" on the street, he took the court room, so the jury drowned the证人 of the attorneys-and witnesses that the presiding judge notified the bandmen to select another location for the dispensation of their melodies. —Ohio is the only State in the Union with a constitution that says that all voters must be white. That constitution, today, says that to be a voter one must be a white male citizen of the United States of the age of twenty-one years. This restriction, of course, is enforced by the United States Constitution, which, in "Article XV," the amendment adopted in 1874, grants equal rights of suffrage. The last effort to abolish the State Constitution was unquestionably made in 1912, when forty-two women were submitted. The one eliminating the word "women" was deposited by a vote of 265,662 to 242,735. MILITARY MILITARY Nation... Invaded... and Rebbed, Will Yet Throw Off the Yoke of Alien Oppression By A. H. N. Under the covenant, "Great and Humble" you published what I may call a very appropriate and soothing criticism of Sir Edward Grange' mk-representations of facts regarding the attitude of the dominant races toward the subject races when he states that Great Britain extends her imperialism on behalf of the subject races which she rules. These remarks certainly provoke a smile of decision. Does Sir Edward think he can fool everybody? It is evident that the sceptre of white supremacy is haunting him. I think he made a bad hit when he tried to justify the occupation and exploitation of the British Colonies. Does he think because he happened to be talking to an American audience that everybody has forgotten the exploitation practiced under the Union Jack all along the line? I say they have not. Some of us still remember the Anglo-Bourn war of 1899-1902, when Great Britain waged war against the cruel tyranny of Gom Paul Krueger, with the object of liberating the "Oppressed Native" from their outward affection; this "righteous war" was only with the object of capturing the rich gold fields of the Rand, as in the end what did the oppressed natives get? How were they roped for all the sacrifice they made in blood and treasure? Let me recount: The natives of Cape Colony and Natal were told that the war was beaten, waged to overthrow the menace of Boer trynancy in South Africa, and many believing, that the day of deliverance of their kinsman had come joined the British army in all possible capacities, and poured out their life's blood without measure. When the Union JACK was hoisted in the Transvaal and the Orange Free State the enthusiasm with which it was welcomed by the natives was as warm as that with which it was welcomed in other military offices. The pubilation on the entrance of Lolob Roberts into Johannesburg and Pretoria is still fresh in my memory. Without recounting the conditions under which the natives of the "Transvaal" and the Orange Free State lived during the regime of Paul Kruger, I will proceed to say something about the treatment the natives received at the hands of Great Britain, who had waged this war of righteousness and justice for three years. In 1909 secret conventions were held by the white inhabitants of South Africa; and what is now known as the Union of South Africa was the outcome. The constitution which brought about this Union was framed in secret convention and was eventually forwarded to the Imperial Parliament for its approval. It contained the "colon bar clause" and for the first time in the history of British colonization a discriminating constitution secured the approval of the British Parliament. This constitution gave white South Africa power to enslave and exploit the natives; not as in the olden days as the slaves were sold in open markets to the slaves were sold in open markets to the slaves bidden, but by means of legislation with the interference of Downing Street, but by the protection of the British army, passed which made it impossible for them to obtain trading licenses even as cating house keepers for themselves. Railway regulations made it impossible for them to travel on any of the South African ranching systems with comparative comfort and cash and without the consent of the conductors; and all this after having been dispossessed of their country. Following the passing of the natives land act in 1913 a state of affairs was created by the plum-ring wars of Toshaka, Mzilikha and Manthatishe in the early century, and the native people of the Transvaal and the Orange Free States were rendered helpless and homeless wanderers in the land of their ancestors the people. Things are taking a charge now, however, and it is obvious that the Negro is beginning to realize that the time has come for him to take his place among the other peoples of the world. Abyssinia has just taken her place among the League of Nations and it is only a question of a short time when the other Negro peoples all the world over will, in the Providence of God, come into their own. As far as the dark races are concerned, it will be the first fly in the ointment of the League of Nations of color raised by the Japanese amendment, which was opposed by Sir Robert Cecil in difference to Colonial and Dominion settlement. The League has undoubtedly many sponsors, but, each is unfortunately obsessed with different ideas as to the mental make up, organic constitution and final purpose; and, therefore, no bed of roses seems destined to line the path of this concrete product of President Wilhelm's exhuberant imagination, but every avenue seems to bristle with thorns and thistles. But the reason is not far to seek; for man is an ecological animal, whose brave and prejudices die hard. They are lurking in the old places, and the great powers and warring nations have not yet, given the "Old Man" the cold shoulder. After all his aid and done the paraplying out of African lands and peoples was without and against their wishes, and Georias. This state of things cannot postulate indemnity. The Negro gurwurwes in opening his eyes to the fact that he is entitled to his own in the sum, and by performance before his eyes nothing daunted he is bound to achieve it. The doctrine proclaimed by Mageus Gurwur has taken root all over the world, wherever the Word opens from Mr. Howard Tiger, who is in charge of the entertainment of the tomb of King Tut-an-ahm-Amen of Luxor, that he will open his will and marmor in a museum what has been left by the tomb, of time of the body of the King. This is all right. Joseph, what the world, especially the black world, is parcially concerned about. Was Tuth-ahm-Amen a black man? The opening of his tomb will very possibly decide that question one way or another for all time. The opinion among Negroes very generally is that he will be shown to be of African origin. 'We can, therefore, readily understand why Mr. Howard Carter has decided, as reported, not to place his mummy in a museum. The Negro Society for Historical Research will have a representative on the ground at the opening of his tomb in the person of Prof. Alain Lory-Locke, who left this country under its auspices in July last, and who will be sure to make a faithful and accurate investigation and report of what he finds and what he has done. We have all believed and what the white world has somewhat reluctantly believed as to the King's racial identity will be fully established and confirmed by Prof. Locke's report. The Negro World will from time to time keep its thousands of readers throughout the world informed of what is going on in Egypt, and especially in the neighborhood of King Tuts' tomb, during Prof. Locke's sojourn in that part of the land of the sphinx and pyramids. The Negro World will have the exclusive right to the use of all photographs and special articles contributed by Prof. Locke during his stay in Egypt. I have consented to act as the special American representative of the new Gold Coast publication, The Gold Coast Leader, published at Seconde, Gold Coast, Africa, and of which my warm personal friend, Hon. Casey Hayford, one of the leading African barristers and counsel for one of the powerful African tribes on the coast, is to be the presiding genius. The Leader is to be the official mouthpiece of Africans on the West Coast, who heretofore had no language but a sigh. The awakening of Ethiopia has begun in earnest, and soon all Africa will be aroused and fully awakened as never before. Just as the Garvey movement is arousing and awakening Negroes in other parts of Africa and the world. Let the good work proceed. I shall soon have copies of this powerful African journal, and will immediately announce its arrival here for the benefit of those who may wish to know what our bestmen-in A MIGRATION REMEDY A MIGRATION REMEDY The "Louisville Leader," in its issue of Oct. 8 prints the following editorial: — President Coolidge is reported to be greatly interested in the suggestion of H. L. Rommel, Republican National Committee from Arkansas, who recommended to the President that a commission of representative Southern Negroes be created to advise members of the race in the South to remain in that section rather than emigrate to the North, in an effort to stem the tide of the migration which has resulted in a labor shortage which has rapidly becoming serious. Mr. Rommel's heart is perhaps right, but his head is wrong, even though the President favors his suggestion and appoints the commission. The minute any present day representative Southern Negro leader accepts a place on the President's commission, if such is to be, and attempts to advise Negroes to remain in the South by simply telling them that their best_friends are South, and it is the best place for them to live, that very minute those Negro leaders will cause to be representative in the eyes of those Negroes who are yet thinking about leaving the South. In a measure this has been tried before, and several Negroes have gone in bad with the Southern Negroes, and have incurred the disfavor of the powerful-nightful leadership in the race, because speeches made in the South telling Negroes that it is the best place for them, their friends are there, and they should stay there. The Negro has not jumped to conclusions and made a hasty decision in his program of migration North. He has given careful and considerable thought to the matter, and with inducements of a膛ance of economic advantages he has concluded that going North could not be any worse than the life that has been his south for so many years with no improvement in sight. However, if a commission of Negro Paders is to be duly representative of President, Cooleidge and the American Government and can guarantee the Southern Negro that he will no longer be denied his rights as citizens in the South the plan might do some good. But, unless the Negro of the South has good reason to believe that his life in that section in the future is to be something like that he enjoys in certain Northern cities, the Remmel plan will turn out to be a poor remedy. To get the Nerro back South or to keep those there that yet remain in Nerro caesares, and, although I will hope to see it, I feel dread that the affliction of the Nerro, U. M. I. A. will not be in vain. "Highest among the sea" is in the latest chapter of the Nerro race, and every deny child of the group. Contient is now new horizons to the wicked will of Ethiopia to themselves ag men and thus quenches the prejudice and prejudices of the pastor of all civilization. Africa are often and may be invoked in the Day of Africa's inquisition and expropriation. The Civil Court Judge is the authority of the West African Congress based on the West Coast same thing ago. Mr. So Tolkien, who served Louis XIII of France, was one of the most expert word writers and best showers in the diplomatic service of the 18th century, as set forth the following extracts from a letter, written from Vienna to his King, with the suggestion that the King make a gesture of war in order that a certain and toward which Talleyrand was aiming might be more easily and readily be accomplished. He says: "It would silence all this foolish talk and put an end to the present state of insultation if your Majesty would, in a palpitate addressed to your people, after having made known to them the principles which your Majesty has commanded to adhere to, and your firm resolution never to depart from them, allow it to be seen that the just cause would not be left without support. Such a desire, conceivable, and a shall presently admit, and as to your Majesty, would not lead to war, for which nobody wishes, but it would bring those who have pretensions to moderate them, while it would give courage to bethers to defend their own interests and those of Europe." Foxy old Prince: The diplomacy of Europe has undergone but little change since his day. Its diplomats are still experts in the game of bluff. Only a few weeks ago we had an exhibition of the Talleyard style of diplomacy by Premier Baldwin of England, who issued what, practically amounted to an ultimatum to France in the Ruhr controversy. France apparently anigled and sat tight. England recorded from its hostile attitude. The premier evidently bit his fingers and began to incubate another plan to meash France. This time it is a huge loan to France by England. But neither bluff nor nify seems to influence France. She is in the Ruhr to remain until the which she entered it is accomplished. The occupation of the Ruhr by France is a bitter pill for England to swallow, and yet it does nothing except to fight, and this dare not attempt, for obvious reasons. The commercial greatness of England is under a serious handicap; her power on sea and land commercially is waning. Her glory, like Ichabod, has departed. France, virile progresiva, aggressive, defiant, stands at the crossroads of Europe and perilous Albion hesitates to advance. Bluff is an interloving game to a looker on Europe has played it with more or less success for several centuries. an effort to save the wipes, and finally the South, the Negro must know that he is no longer to be subjected to political aerodrom, that he is to be given a fair deal before the courts, treated fairly and squarely in his dealings with landlords, that the institution of poguage is to be destroyed, that his children are to be provided with equal educational advantages; and facilities, and the one thousand high schools in a state of practically equal population for whites, and only one for colored is to be a thing of the past. The Negro must know that his womanhood is to be respected and protected, that his daughters are not to be insulted and abused at will, that his property is not to be ruthlessly taken from him and his life is to be safe from the lynchers, and the Klan, and not taken with impunity at any time upon the slightest pretext or provocation. The Negro is no longer sound asleep with his eyes open. The longer he lives the more he thinks about the life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness due him, and if he can't get it South he is going to the place where he can get as much of it as possible, and the advice of a commission of Southern Negro leaders will be of little avail unless it has a mighty punch. 135TH ST.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AND INDUSTRY 56 West 135th Street, New York City MARCUS GARVEY To New York After Six Weeks' Campaigning for the Cause of Negro Rights on the Pacific Coast and in the Southland 120 West 138th Street, New York City Hear the Greatest Leader, Statesman, Patriot, Martyr and Orator on the Subject: "The New Call to Africa's Sons and Daughters!" Tuesday, September the 25th, will long be remembered by the colored people in Columbia. At 5 o'clock the street parade started at the corner of Champion and Mt. Vernon Avenue. Through the courtesy of the Chief of Police of this town three mounted officers were supplied, and these led the parade. A Lincoln car, in which were Mr. Isaac Kellum, acting President of the Columbus Division; Mr. William Ware, President of the great Cincinnati Division in his uniform as Brigadier General; Mr. George A. Weston, President of the Cleveland Division; Rev. E. G. West, former Commissioner of Panama and Mr. G. Rupert Christian, Executive Secretary of the Columbus Division, who worked very hard to make the day a success, followed. Behind the car came the Universal Cincinnati, led by two mounted officers—Col. Greenlow and Major Resec. Then came the splendid band of the Second Regiment in their new uniforms which lent a picturesque touch to the parade. The Black Cross nurses of Cincinnati and Columbus and the Motor corps brought up the rear. Thousands of members and well wishers followed the procession on foot and in motor cars. The great Memorial Hall was filled with negroes to hear the man who has stirred the entire world with the cry of a "national home for the Negro people of the world." At 8 o'clock sharp the meeting was passed in lieu of General Nathaniel, and Captain J. Pruss who was the commander. Short speeches were directed by Meston, Kelman, Johnson, Ware, Wain, Warden and J. G. Burrowen. The speaker of the evening, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, was then succeeded by Mr. Weston of the Cleveland Division. The Hon. Marcus Garvey received a great ovation. He gave a long and stout adoring address. He said in part: "This is a white man's country, we do not want it, we cannot get it, but we want the 12 million square miles of territory in Africa that belong to this great Negro race." He also said that the Negro should not waste his time fighting the Ku Klux Klan. He should get together as the Klan is doing so as to make Africa a black man's country, just as the Klan is organizing to make this a white man's country. The Klan's business is to make a better America for the whites, and the business of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is to make a better Africa for the blacks. We shall ask for it twice—once politely, once sternly. Then, if they refuse, we shall take it. The meeting was well attended by the leading ministers, business and professional men who went to hear this great race orator. Reporters from the three daily white papers were present, and the next day several reports of the meeting were published in these journals. NASHVILLE, Tenn. Oct. 8.—(Special.)—Tennessee continues to make fine progress toward better-race relations and improved conditions for its Negro population, according to the reports of J. D. Burton, and R. E. Clay, white and Negro secretaries of the State Inter-racial Commission. On Sunday, the 20th of August, a monster mass meeting was staged at Pax Hill, one of Nassau's popular districts. The meeting was opened in the usual manner with the singing of the ode "From Greenland's Ice Mountains" and prayer by Rev. Davis who acted as chairman. We were favored and greatly assisted by two choirs, one from the Union Baptist Church, and the other from Mt. Zion. The object of the meeting was to raise funds for the Defense Fund. An interesting and varied program was prepared, and helped to make the evening an enjoyable one. The speaker of the evening was Mr. Brooks, who delivered an exceedingly interesting address on the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Mr. Brooks is a member who believes in spreading the doctrine of Garveyism wherever he goes. He took the "truth" to British Guiana in 1920 and was nearly imprisoned for preaching the doctrine of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in that country. He called to Barbados and encouraged the members of Westbury and High Street Divisions to hold fast. From there he went to Liverpool, England, but did not remain in Liverpool for long. Hearing that there was a division in the West End of London, he proceeded there and gave excellent service during his sojourn in England. Leaving London he went to Hamilton, Bermuda, and was given a hearty reception in that Division controlled by that great little man President Grimble. From Bermuda, he went to Kingston, Jamaica, there he set Liberty, Half on fire and earned the name of the "Belching Cannon." He soon found his way up country to Southern Manchester, and in three months helped the Resource Division to build a Liberty Hall. Mr. Brooks is a forceful and powerful speaker. His description of the different Divisions which he visited were graphic and impressive. The meeting was brought to a close with the singing of the Doxology followed by Benediction. REPORTER.

Additions of small and plainer units to Royal Ornamental Company JANARA, NEW YORK (Station 400, power) Fearlessly Protecting the Rights of Negroes Taking Peonage Case Under Its Wing True to the spirit of the U. N. I. A constitution, which provides that the U. N. I. A. shall establish commissionaries, or agencies in the principal countries and cities of the world for the representation and protection of all Negroes, irrespective of nationality, the Philadelphia division, under the leadership of Dr. Lionel. A. Francis, has been training every nerve and making every effort to see that justice is meted out to Negroes in his community. A few weeks ago a Mr. Thorn of 112 Mifflin street, this city, who had recently migrated from the South with his family of a wife and eight children, in search of better conditions, was routed from the neighborhood by a lawless band of "foreign" whites, who burned his furniture. This organisation immediately got on the job, and by means of the able service of Attorney J. Auxtin Norris and the publicity of the Negro periodicals, and a few white dallies was able to make the court see the advantage taken and the injustice done one of our brothers. Mrs. Martha Thorn, wife of this man, came to our meeting on Sunday, October 7, to thank the division for the work they did and to assure us that they are now happy and doing well. Hardly had we finished this case when, through the alertness of our president, the case of James R. Miller ignored up. We reproduce the following from the Philadelphia Public Journal: "James R. Miller, wife and four chil- Scientist Produces an Invigorator Superior to Gland Treatments—Wonderful Power of a Bark From Africa Have you lost your youth, vigor and life? Do life, seem dull and work be poorly? Do you need a new formula said to be superior even to the much discussed gland treatments? Many men and women are now quickly and easily regaining vital vim, vigor and vitality in the course of modern life. The principal ingredient is an extract from the bark of an African tree. It is said to be a most remarkable inductor. Combine it with it are other compounds of proved merit. In many cases the compound produces marked improvement in 24 hours. In a short time the vitality is usually raised, the circulation improved and the glow of health is felt more. The laboratories producing this new vitalizer, which is called Re-Bil-Tabs, are so confident of its power that they offer new customers a large $2 supply for only 11 and guarantee to refund the cost and fully fail to give results in one week. Any reader of this paper may test the treatment without risk. Send no questions to the Re-Bill Laboratories, 218 Gateway Station, Kansas City, Mo. and a full 23 treatment of Re-Bill-Tabs will be issued. On request, pay the postman only 11 and postage is lighted with the results notify the laboratories and your money will be refunded in full. Do not hesitate about using this offer, as it is fully guar- anteed. A dive, now lying at 438 Washington avenue, recently arrived from Cleveland, B. C. The state of South Carolina is狭窄 every nerve to get him back to return to the state of slavery from which he escaped. Miller can not listen read nor write and was a tenant on the farm of a large land owner in Chesterfield, working his employer's crops on the share plan. While waiting for the crops to ripen and during the dull winter months Miller bought his groceries on credit from the store owned and operated by his employer. No matter how thrifty Miller might be, as is usual in such cases, and being unable to flog, he could never get out of debt to the man whose tenant he was forced to become. Last spring, after garnering his share of the crops and disposing of the same, for which he received checks as payment, he immediately cashed them, and, realizing the slavery to which he and his family were done, left his three horses and farm implements, and with the money came to Philadelphia, bringing his wife and children with him. Somehow his former employer found out where he was, and is now trying to have him returned to the clecious system of slavery from which he escaped. He is charged with the arrethy of $263, the amount of the checks received as a reward for his industry, and which checks he cashed before leaving. The organization, has been able to stay the extradition of the man back to South Carolina, and already plans are in progress to release him on ball, still still further plans are being made to light this case to a successful finish. We are living up to our constitution, to our ideals, to our principles, racial uplift, improvement, advancement, our motto. To reclaim the fallen, administer to and assist the needy, our object. To bring about the establishment of a government of Negroes, for Negroes, by Negroes on the Continent of Africa, our goal. Every man, woman and child in Philadelphia now has the name Marcel Garvey on their lips, and we are reminded of the days when the Black Star Line's Yamaha made its appearance in this city. A few months ago, Philadelphia was considered a burden of rest for the Negro; today, due to the rapidly increased population, it is little better than Georgia, or Alabama. In this not exactly as the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been pointing out for five years? The white man lives with the Negro in large numbers. He is afraid he will lose his bread and butter. He is afraid that the Negro will be a power politically. In short, he will a him a menace, and, therefore, bring every pressure to bear as a means of discontent. The writer of this article some time yet, probably never, but he praises God we had in Africa for some time yet; probably never, but he praises God we had in Africa (the only located place) at this moment, a government. By a government I mean a responsible body of men and women; fair, equitable, just, organized and running their own affairs, yet strong, enough to command, and if they fail to do that, demand "justice" for Negroes under any flag and every flag. The day of retribution is not far off, however, if some of us see world affairs right. Negroes everywhere, now is your chance, now is the time for you.

We can prove it. we get together and play together for your own preservation. We were pleased to have with us on Sunday last Mr James A. Offley High Commissioner General from the Patient Body Men York. He was appointed a hearty welcome, and gave us a touch of his splendid oratory. We argue, that he had to hurry to be at Liberty Hall, New York, that night. Among other things he says: "I must congratulate your president, for the enthusiasm and real displayed in this division, and you, the members, for your work in the cause of a free and redeemed Africa." Commenting on the hymn just sung, "Blessed be the tie that blinds," he said that the U. N. A. was the tie that blends the Negroes of the world; speaking of the peonage case, he said that his heart burned within him as he listened to the tales of slavery to which all of our people one way or the other, are subjected. Today we face a world in arms, a world against which we have to fight, because mistreatment of the Negro is all over the world. There is a deep plot of the whites to destroy my race. Today however, with our backs to the wall and our faces toward the foo we shall unitedly take the stand for liberty or death. Compare our program with the N. A. A. C. P! The fact is, they have no program. They have no aim, no object save the amalgamation of the races. They desire, that in time there will be no Blacks, because they are too lazy to save themselves, and any race too lazy to say itself should not be amalgamated, but should die as a race, since they can never climb the heights. Du Bois, Pickens and the rest of them are just tools to lead us astray, and have no policy for the race. Marcus Garvey stands out as the greatest Negro the world has seen, because he seeks to have the Negro stand-on his own feet and drop the crutches given him by the white man. He is the Negroes' Negro, and not the white man's Negro." Among the visiting friends was Mrs. Johnson, of Baltimore, now a member of the Motor Corps of that division, and at one time-head of the Black Cross Nurses. REPORTER. PORT LIMON DIVISION HOLDS CONVENTION PORT LIMON DIVISION HOLDS CONVENTION In accordance with instructions issued by the President-General, the Port Limon Division No. 110 held its local convention, which lasted from the 27th to the 29th or August. The proceedings were carried through with order and docorum and will long be remembered by those who attended. The convention opened on Monday, the 27th. The following divisions sent delegates to represent them: Port Limon, Siquirre, La Africa, Pacuaria, Madre de Dios, Lutina, Estrada, Colon Creek and Caluilla. The convention was opened after the manner of the International Convention of Negroes. The delegates of the various divisions, headed by the chair, marched from the ground floor to the platform while the hymn "God Bless Our President" was sung. A fine musical program was rendered and was well received by the audience. At the close of this program the commissioner gave a brief but pointed address well suited to the occasion. The Hon. C. H. Bryant was sworn in as speaker in convention, Mr. S. L. Gordon as registrar, Mr. J. Gibson secretary and Mr. G. E. Wellington associate secretary. At this stage the report of the business of the African Communities League was read and received. The stockholders agreed that the stock be recapitulated and that the business be done on a larger scale so that the A. C. L. can do its own importation. The session was brought to a close with the slinging of the Ethiopian National Anthem. On Tuesday, the 28th, the convention resumed its slinging. The same form of procedure was adopted. The agenda was long, so the speaker advised that the matters of paramount importance be taken up first and disposed of. Several resolutions were passed which have been submitted to the Parent Body for their approval. MORON. DIVISION. CUBA On Sunday, September 23, the third anniversary of our division was celebrated and the event will long be remembered by those who were present. At 3 o'clock sharp the president called the meeting to order, and a fine musical program was presented to the audience. We desire publicly to thank those who contributed towards making the meeting a success, but especially Miss Adelaide Henry, Mr. T. B. Reid, Mr. Dacosta, Mr. George Edwards. Our indebtable executive secretary, Mrs. C. A. McCatty, worked hard to make the evening a pleasant and profitable one. The report of the executive secretary shows the division has made great improvement in spite of the fact that certain disorderly and disloyal members have done their best to destroy the organization and these have retarded the progress of the division in no small measure. Before-closing the meeting the president thanked the choir and the various representatives from the Icagas who were present at the meeting on a special invitation from the local. The singing of the Ethiopian Anthen followed by prayer brought the meeting to a close. INVESTORS Have you a mechanical or electrical idea which you will developed?

SUNDAY AFTERNOON WITH CINEMATHEH SUNDAY Impressive Meeting The Cinema! Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association put in its regular meeting Sunday afternoon, October 7. The meeting was called to order promptly at 3 a.m. The precessional song, "Shine On, Eternal Light," was sung, followed by the opening ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains." Praer was offered by the chaplain, Rev. Handy McQuinn. President William Ware made a few brief remarks. He mentioned that the first Sunday of each month was regarded Women's Day, but since the incarceration of the Hon. Marcus Garvey the day has been devoted to matters concerning him. The president then stated that, this being the first Sunday in October, it will again be turned over to the women. Before doing this, however, he made a few remarks concerning an article in the Times-Star of September 29, and said: "I want to clear the minds of the members of Cincinnati division as well as its well wishers. The article was published without my knowledge, and I made no statement to the reporter of the Times-Star whatever." Mr. Ware further stated that he could not understand why such an article appeared in the papers, and he hoped the members would not feel offended and think he prompted such action. He stated that the wolves were trying to fet into the fold and that, instead of feeling hostile toward anyone, the organization must become more firmly united. At this point the president presented the gavel to the lady president, Mrs. Maggle Scott. Mrs. Scott made some brief remarks. She stated that every woman in the division should be willing to take part in all their undertakings and in the rendition of the program. Mrs. Creamie Sanders, one of the participants on the program, gave us a very interesting talk. She mentioned about the superstition of the old folks relative to the fact that it is bad luck to sweep dirt out of the door after sundown. She said, instead of the old folks being taught something uplifting, they were taught these old superstitions. She said now is the time for Nogroes to think, and what other women have done the Negro women can do. A solo by Mrs. Bryant, one of the choir members, followed. The vice-president, Mr. Eddie Gray, rendered a solo, which was well received.

After taking the offering the president regenerated everybody to come vire, saying that something was going to take place this afternoon that has spur happened in the hall since the organization was established. Everybody became very curious to know just what was going on. The president then announced that there was going to be a wedding, but did not name the parties. For one-quarter of an hour the audience was spellbound until Miss Athe Arnold, the daughter of Mr. Arnold, one of our members, and her fiance made their appearance. The bride was attended by a bridesmaid, the best man and flower girls. It was indeed a beautiful sight. The Rev. S. M. Earl, the worthy chapel of the division, performed the ceremony.

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.

Evidentemente no habia, mantera de salvarse de una posible revuella más que con la suspension de las garantias constitucionales y el establecimiento de una direccion militar suficientemente rigida para mantener a la república unida hasta que pasara la tempestad. El hecho de mirar retrospectivamente hacia la profundidad de la cual surgió esta gran nación americana, nos inspira confianza y esperanza en la realización de lo que actualmente es calificado como un sueno, el que surja en el futuro una nación africana poderosa sobre la cual las futuras generaciones han de mirar con tanto orgullo y satisfacción, como mira actualmente el ciudadano blanco norteamericano a su país. Decimos ciudadano blanco norteamericano, porque el honor y el orgullo a el pertenecen, y cualquier contribución que nosotros como raza-havamos aportado-al progreso de America, ha sido generalmente forzada por medio de las circunstancias, y si bien es verdad que en casos muy raros hemos voluntariamente contribuido con nuestro óbolo a la gloria de esta nación, sus ciudadanos blancos no lo conceptuan como un título a los derechos que reclamamos, basados en el espíritu de su Constitucion. Es mucho mejor para Alemania que la dictadura provenga del gobiern que el que se produzca en posición a el. Porque si Stressmann y sus colegas fueran lanzados del poder, no hay seguridadades de que les sucederian algo menos capacitados para sacar al país de sus actuales dificultades. Stressmann habria convencido por lo menos a la mayor parte del mundo de que Alemania estaba haciendo lo más que podía por poner fin a la trajedad del Ruhr. Un nuevo gobierno nacido de la revuelta, podría deshacer cuanto se haya logrado recientemente en la dirección de un ajuste de paz entre Alemania y Francia. Ellos han declarado explicitamente que America es un pafs exclusivo para blancos, descubierto, explorado y desarrollado para beneficio de sus propias generaciones. En la faz de este sentimiento presentamos nuestro reclamo, pero, con una fuerza de competencia preponderante en contra nuestra, presentimos la derrota y por tal razón, la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra ameniza el programa de la constitución de un país en un sitio adecuado, en donde, lejos muy lejos de toda oposición, de toda competencia y de todo prejutecio, nuestra raza tenga la oportunidad de desarrollo y progreso en todas las esferas. Es desconsolador para el mundo, y especialmente para Europa, que exista una situación tal como la presente cinco años después del armisticio. No obstante es el resultado logico de los procedimientos seguidos después de la guerra para llegar a la paz del mundo y a la buena inteligencia entre las naciones. A menos que se de a las naciones una oportunidad para existir, la anaquia o la dictadura son inevitables. Al contemplar al través del continente el panorama de un nuevo mundo, en las realizaciones de una nueva generación; al contemplar las maravillas de esta civilización americana, eregida por medio del-genio y perseverancia del blanco, nos sentimos seguros de que en no lejano dia y en posesión de las mismas dotes, podemos duplicar esta civilización en nuestra tierra patria el continente africano. El aspecto del gran número de ciudades progresivas de esta nación nos inspira la construcción de otras ciudades con igual ó mayor progreso en nuestra propia nación. Destruyendo Antiguas Tradiciones Miss Grace Li, agraciada hija de Li Ytang Hung, presidente de la república china, rompiendo con las antigunas tradiciones de su país, que problemen a las mujeres de calidad el vijar sin sequito, ha llegado a Wellesley, Mass. acompañada solamente de una amiga, Miss Harriet Chou, y han tomado anbas en alquiler un pequeño cuarto en una casa de huespedes. Las muchachas han ingresado a la universidad para seguir el curso de economia política. Miss Li es partidaria del sufragio femenino y declara que ya no se acostumbró cotar el matrimonio de las niñas chinas quando estas se hallan todavía en la infancia. Ella es soltera, porque, dice, no ha encontrado hasta ahora al hombre a quien ha de aniar. En la persecución de tal objeto habrán much problemas que resolver, por lo cual todo elemento de la raza amante de su progreso debe procurarse un sitio en el seno de nuestra institución. Nuestro programa es suficientemente extenso y abarca todas la fases de las actividades humanas, habiendo en él un puesto adecuado para todos y cada uno de los cuatrocientos millones de nuestra raza. Con un propósito uniformado podemos marchar hacia adelante, causando una gran impresión ante un mundo observador, al colocar nuestra propia estrella en la inmensa constelación de lo acontecimientos humanos. Los que formamos parte de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra abrigamos grandes esperanzas y nos sentimos satisfechos de vivir en esta era de evoluciones y de progreso. Mientras elementos de otras razas se esfuerzan por promover sus intereses por medio de los cambios requeridos por el caso, nosotros también estamos determinados a promover un cambio que nos cleve al trono donde la humanidad progresista mora. Las Elecciones en Filipinas La repudiación del gobierno del general Wood y el apoyo de la actuación de la conisión filipina por la independencia, el pedir su retiro, se ve en la elección del excaláceo Fernández de Manila como senador filipino por el cuarto distrito electoral. El senor Fernández, candidato de la coalición, fue uno de los funcionarios filipinos que renunciaron recientemente en protesta contra los alegados métodos arbitrarios del general Wood. Su opositor fue el juez Sumulong, candidato del partido democrata. No es de esperarse que hemos de realizar todo a cuanto ambicionamos sin afrontar resistencia y oposición; las buenas obras han sido siempre realizadas por medio de la perseverancia de aquellos con un propósito determinado. El progreso y la felicidad de otros pueblos adquiridos por su ingenuidad organizada, se presenta ante nuestra vista como un ejemplo práctico y un aliciente a la vez, para los que como ellos, luchamos al presente por la realización de un cambio en nuestra situación actual, escalando la cúspidé de un bienestar solidificado. En la declaraction hecha por la comisión por la independencia en Manila y cablegrafada aquí a la oficina de la prensa filipina, declara que ha sido la elección más discutida que hubo en el archipiélago, resultando Fernández elegido por una gran mayoria. El grito de combate del vencedor fue Wood contra la autonomía filipina, dice la declaración, añadiendo que el candidato de la coalición triunfo a pesar del apoyo del general Wood y de los norteamericanos residentes a los candidatos onositores. Nuestro objetivo deberá ser estampado en nuestra mente y así laborar insensamente por su realización. Nuestra organización abriga la esperanza de un renacimiento en nuestra raza, el cual nos incluya como un pueblo entre los progenitores nacionalistas de las actividades del universo. De ese modo nuestras generaciones futuras heredarán nuestra gloria, dando a la raza una prepetuación de tal honor, producto de los elementos mas abiles de la gran familia humana. - El juez Sumulong, dice la declaración, habia calificado de ridicula, frivola y ficticia la acción del consejo de estado filipino al poner su renuncia. EJ resultado de la elección se toma también como repudiación de la actitud de Sumulong al profesar que la independencia económica de las Filipinas debiera preceder a la independencia política. El resultado significa por sobre todo la repudiación del general Wood en su chaque con el consejo de estado y de toda tentativa de aplazar la independencia. La elección de Fernández significa que el pueblo del cuarto distrito apoya la resolución de la comisión pro-independista pidiendo el retiro del general Wood El sinnúmero de millones de elementos de nuestra raza diseminados por el globo, pronto muy pronto han de obtener un reconocimiento general, debido a los esfuerzos supremos de nuestra organización y de la influencia que esta pueda ejercer universalmente, poder por el cual nuestra raza se vera emancipada, nuestra patria se vera redimida y un gran imperio con el gobierno más democrático nos servirá de escudo protector y seremos objeto de la consideración y del respeto a que, como parte integrante de la familia humana, somos acreedores. Todos aquellos de nosotros con una visión tal hemos de continuar en la lucha, en la esperanza de que por medio de nuestra determinación, nodamos ver coronado el fruto de nuestra labor. como gobernador, al como la acedad de las ejecuciones del grafene y el concurso de estado. La declaración esta luego las quejas específicas contra Wood, agregada que de siguir la campaña existencia de Wood seria ruinada para el blastar pernuncias del pueblo filipino; que el gobernador habla repetidamente velado modidas de la legislatura filipina relativas a materias puramente locales, que establa llevando a cabo su campaña para cambiat las leyes actuales en interés de los monopolios y corporaciones que desean entonces concesiones de tietras filipinas para la exploction y que no tiene el gobernador abolitamente ninguna simpatia por las aspiraciones del pueblo filipino a ser libre e independiente. Cualidades Naturales de Mejico Ya que Méjico ha sido reconocido por el gobierno, los encantos y las ventajas de Méjico pueden ser reconocidas por el pueblo de los Estados Unidos. Ningún país del mundo tiene paisajes más hellos y ofrece mayor atracción a los turistas. Pocos paises tienen mejor clima que Méjico. Pocos paises poscen tan vastos recursos naturales, esperando el mágico estimulo del capital. Pocos paises ofrecen mejores ocasiones a los jóvenes ambicionsos y emprendedores. Méjico y los Estados Unidos, si sólo trataran de entenderse mutuamente, debieran pasar a las páginas de las historia como una páreja de vecinos prosperos y felices. Los Autografos del Presidente El Dr. Celso Cuellar, hijo político del presidente de Cuba, Dr. Zayas, visita el Casa Blanca durante su estancia en Washington para celebrar una entrevista con el presidente Coolidge y rogarle que autografía tres grandes forografías suyapa para el presidente Zayas y otros dos amigos. La audiencia no fue concedida. Y lo que es más, las fotografías han sido devuelta por el departamento de estado sin los autografos. En momentos de más suspicacia, esto pudiera haber tomado hasta la característica de un incidente internacional. Muchos de los presidentes procedieron siempre en la hipótesis de que era un honor que se les solicitara un autografo, o por lo menos en la idea de que incumbir al presidente firmar su nombre en esos casos si descaba mantener su popularidad. Lloyd George Augura un Nuevo Conflicto Lloyd George, el expresor habitante, quien actualmente viaja por los Estados Unidos y el Canada, ha pronunciado un discurso en la ciudad de Toronto, el cual ha causado gran sensación. Los periodistas lo contientan como tendencio y dirigido exclusivamente contra El nista, que ha creado la mquina militia más poderosa que jamás haya exitado en el mundo. El expresion hizo resalar el iminente peligro de nuevo conflicto europeo a métos de que los países de habla se unan para evitarlo.

ON A TIP FROM MIDDLE TO COAST (Continued from page 3) gopher and some of his congregation, being jealous of our success, made rep- presentation to the mayor that Mr. Gervay the mayor and show that he was present upon him and critic. When the mayor had shown that he was present at the meeting at which Mr. Gervay spoke the first time he was in the city, and welcomed him to Youngtown, the proceed, without the least hesitation, told the mayor that it was not the same Gervay meeting this time; it was an other man. The mayor, to satisfy himself, sent for me and when I ex- plained it all to him, he was surprised at the hyperbole practice "on him and readonly should to attend our meeting." We had two hours to rest and eat support, and then off to the meeting at the Oak, Hill Augustiorum. I learned that it was the first time that Negroes had held a meeting there. On our arrival the musical part of the program was gone through; and my husband was called on to speak. There were many white persons in the audience, and by the change of emotion on their faces one could easily see, that they were deeply impressed with the aeroseness of our program, and were perhaps a little surprised at the unvarnished truths leveled at them during my husband's speech. He made them see themselves as they really were in the contact with us, and exposed their future plan of slow extermination and further subjugation of our race. Then he pointed them to a true solution of the vaxing problem of the races, to be achieved through following the divine apportionment of the earth; that is, each race to its native habitat—Europe for the Europeans, Asia for Asiatics, America for the white Americans, and Africa for the black peoples of the world. He felt sure that America, the greatest democracy in the world, would be large-minded enough to help us establish a national home of our own in Africa, even as we labored and worked in this country for over 300 years to help them build up this republic and make it what it is today. At Farrell, Pa. "Yours truly" was next introduced, and I got off lightly with a few remarks, as we had to leave immediately for Farrell. Dr Judge Hartman (white) was describing the growth of his country and the wonderful progress black men had made since a generous and large-heated member of his race freed us, when we had to leave by motor. We arrived at Farrell in an hour. The Negro population 1,600 and the hall, in which the meeting was held, was jammed, with about 600 people, and hundreds were outside, and could not set in, but were waiting patiently just to see my buddy, As Mr. Askenshek, the local person, said to me, over the long distance phone earlier in the evening. "The folks will sit here until 2 o'clock in the morning, but they never see the President himself." Such is the loyalty of the Farrell division of the organization to the cause, and typifies the spirit, of the members all over the country. Their loyalty was gratifying and my husband, though tired, spoke to them for three quarters of an hour on the principles of the organization, as it was his first visit to Farrell. Mr. Sherill, Assistant President General, who had conducted the trip meeting until my husband arrived journeyed with us to the Shannon Rail road Station, where he enlisted for New York city, and we continued on BUSINESS BUSINESS Men and Women!

ART PUBLISHING CO. Dept. C. 2193 Seventh Avenue New York City PARENT BODY. Every Man Who Has Lost the Vital Force of Youth May Be Restored Scientist Makes Wonderful Discovery—Says No Man Under 100 Years Should Feel Old WEST AFRICAN CONDITIONS DESCRIBED Traveller Records His Impressions Gained From Trip to West Coast of Africa By Gifford L. Lord To the average man in the street, the West Coast of Africa is almost an unknown country. He may talk of Cape coast Castle, Sierra Leone, or even Lagos, and say something about the white man's grave, or quote the old rhyme concerning the dead fingers of the Bight of Benin, but beyond this his notions of the coast are somewhat vague. I knew little more than this myself before going there, but having gone there I have found out many realizable facts about our brother natives, and my ideas concerning that region have been considerably enlarged. In the first place, the West Coast of Africa is not such a deadly place for Europeans as it is usually believed to be. Except you make it for yourself, it may not be exactly a health resort under present conditions, but it is a more desirable climate than in many other countries, especially during the winter months or the hot, burning summer days. It is the real honest-to-God climate for physical superiority. The moist heat induces free perspiration, which is good for your health, acting as a safety valve very, much like a Turkish bath does in the cold countries. Sierra Leone Talking about Sierra Leone, the sea is seldom if ever rough. You will find the most exceptional weather around there; it has the Pacific skinned a mile for its smooth velour. I feel convinced from my own observations and from what natives as well as some experienced white men have said to me that the fever among whites on the coast is not so much the fault of the climate as of the way they live. There is more good living than is good for the people in a tropical climate. Meals of several courses are served, consisting mostly of some preparation of flesh. In a climate like that of West Africa a diet consisting of fresh foods is most irrational. Vegetables are very plentiful, but mangoes, oranges, bananas, paw-paws, plapples, yams, peanuts, avacado-pears, rice, coffee and cocoa are abundant. I want to call your attention to the native grown rice in West Africa. It is of an excellent flavor and more nourishing than the imported rice. I know, because I am a great lover of rice as a food. The Discriminating Mosquito It is no wonder that the natives say that white men get fever out there. On the question of mosquito bite-causing fever, there seems to be a great diversity of opinion. Whatever the truth may be, I cannot help thinking that mosquito bites are not so likely to cause fever in a person whose blood is in a pure and healthy condition; but if through wrong living it becomes loaded with impurities then the malaria germ will find a happy hunting ground therein to increase and multiply. It appears to me that the mosquito knows the Afracoon from the white man because, in my stay, I can only remember of three mosquito visits, and they were friendly, merely whispering how-do-in my ears and returned from whence they came. That is to show you that even the mosquito is glad to see an old dependant return to his mother's country. Native Industries Suffer It seems to me that West Africa appears to be merely in order for cheap European goods of all descriptions, to the discomission rather than the development of native industry. This represents for example Artistic bowls known as country pots are made of a smooth hard ware and used for cooking, but non pots are imported from England for cooking purposes. So with cloth, the native or country cloths are highly esteemed, but scarce, and cheap printed cotton imitations take their place. Native traders in logs of maltobac and other native products complain of the way they are related by forms of foreign countries, where their raw material is shipped in exchange. I had the pleasure of speaking to one of the most enterprising men of our race on the West Coast, and he said that many natives have exported maltobac and other materials, but received in exchange a long bill for freight, cartage, warehousing and commissary, and the small balance due him was paid by a collignment of cheap cotton and crockery that were 'no use to him. Just let us think for once of unity and co-operation and A new discovery is said to have been made by a scientific study of Bergen mountain people, who scientists pay live longer than any other people. It is said this discovery may help people in all parts of the world and quickly reduce many strength, youthful vigor, grace and beauty lost by neglect or abuse. Rohla, a German woman, is one of the inside glands and if these glands are stimulated and kept in normal activity, men might live forever and all women would be happier. Norwegian debility, yellow complexion, weight, poor memory, premature age, beauty neck, telophasis at night, and unhealthy, unhealthy, dependency. In further discussing West Africa let me say this—the cultivation of fruit might be encouraged and extended with advantage. Many large and fine flavored oranges are grown on the Gold Coast at Diggrove. It is a fashion of the Caucasian to call the black man lazy, but the wants of the West Coast natives were few, simple and easily supplied in by-gone days. Nature is bountiful to the black man in West Africa, for she does not force him to struggle with her to obtain a living. His food grows plentifully and with little cultivation, and in that warm climate he seems to have nothing more to care for. But he is a different man on the West Coast today. For instance, he is looking into cultivation for wealth; also civilization; the spirit of commercialism is a terror to his brain that keeps him on his daily study of being an independent Negro. Fine Specimens of Marinood What impressed me more than anything on the coast was the fine muscular development of the natives and the aplendid work that they perform. Their dorsal muscles stand out in well-rounded masses, two inches or more beyond the spine on both sides, forming a deep hollow between their arms and shoulders, a picture of muscular strength that would delight the heart of the sculptor. This muscular development, covered as it is with a dark skin, rounds one of the Greek and Roman bronze statues of athletes. The West African natives lend themselves well to adornment with ivory, gold, and silver. Natives are sometimes seen wearing heavy bracelets of ivory, about six inches deep and half an inch thick, often mounted with silver and with their names engraved thereon. This is particularly the fashion with the headmen on the French Ivory Coast. It is interesting to note the different paddles used by the boatmen along the coast. The most common kind has a thick heavy stem with a broad three-pointed blade, like a webbed foot, all cut out in one solid piece. Sometimes a boat crew will be seen with all the blades of their paddles painted a pale blue; it is pretty to see them rising and falling in unison as the crew paddles along. On the Ivory Coast a smaller paddle is used, the blade curving outwards and inwards, ending in a three-cornered poli and painted with gaudy designs of red, white, blue, green and black. In the Sherbro district the paddles are longer in the handles and the blades are somewhat of an elongated heart shape. The status of the black man on the west coast of Africa, as regards his interoffice with the whites, is rather different from that of the black man of America. We are looked upon almost with loathing in America; so strong is the prejudice against color that we are scarcely considered fit to breathe the same air as the white man. But on the coast the black man is rather differently treated, although even the Canadians and Americans carry with them the strong race prejudice to which they have been accustomed in their own countries. No matter how well educated and gentlemanly a native may be, or what position he may hold, his color is enough for them; he is a nig- - and to shake hands with him or to sit at the same table with him is to them a sore degradation. This prejudice against mere color seems to me indifferent and more heathenism. I have been asked this question more than once: "Do you think that you are as good as a white man?" and I have replied: "What is meant by good—good at what, or in what respect?" In many things a black man is as good as a white man; in others he is better. Physically, taken as a race, he is superior to the white man, especially in West Africa, where the climate is too warm for much physical development for whites. The black man there is certainly the better man, for he is best fitted to the environment, the best fitted to survive. And if you are speaking of mental superiority, that is a matter of education and training. Many instances have proved that the black man's brain is capable of higher training. Morality, too, is a question of custom and education. Remember that if a man has been brought up to consider theft as wrong he will regard thieving in quite a different light than the man who has been brought up to look upon theft as a meritorious act. So, you see, that there is no reason why the man with the black skin should not be just as good as the man with the white skin, for it is only a matter of training and education in either case.' Blind and heaten prejudice is totally unscientific. I have educated natives on the west coast of Africa whose mentality, manners and speech have made it a pleasure to converse with them. The greatest study of mankind may or may not be man; it may be astronomy, geology, theology or what not, but at any rate the natives of West Africa offer a wide and interesting field for anthropological study and research. It would be a delightful task to follow up. (CLIFFORD) L.

Dr. Tobitt, on being asked why he became a member of the U. N. I. A. replied as follows: "I believe I inherited race-consciousness from my parents, and I began to know myself when, between the age of 9 and 10 years, I read the book, 'Uncle Tom's Cabin,' by Harriet Beecher Stowe. Later on, as an educator, I took a keep interest in 'unearthing' and teaching Negro history in the various institutions where I taught. "It was while giving a public lecture in St. Paul's A. M. E. Church. Hamilton City, Bermuda, on the subject, 'Is Education Necessary to the Negro' that a copy of 'The Negro World' was placed in my hands, for the first time, by a new Negro, a traveler, Mr. Roberts, of Barbados, B. W. I."

Without delay I got to work to organize the Bermuda Division of U. N. I. A. in early March, 1980, and when, as a deputy to the First Convention, I was elected leader of the Negroes of the West Indies, etc., I counted the cost, signed the Declaration of Rights for the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world, and left the court of Pharah, choosing rather to suffer affliction with my people than to dwell in the land of Goshen." Dr. Tobit has played an important part in revolutionizing the educational system of Bermuda, and has been held in the highest esteem by, the various governors under which he served. When His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales visited the Bermudas in October, 1920. Dr. and Mrs. Tobitt were among the few Negroes who received special invitation from the Governor-in-Chief, General Sir James Willcocks, G. C. M. S., K. C. M. S., D. S. O. I., etc., to welcome the Prince and to banquet with him at the Government House. On the outbreak of the great war Dr. Tobit enlisted, but was not called up for active service. During the "flu" epidemic he was appointed on the Sick Committee for the District of St. George's, Bermuda, in which capacity he rendered great service to the afflicted. POPULATION OF SOUTH The population of the South as a whole forms 30.9 per cent. of the population of the United States. Of the 33,044,445 inhabitants of the seventeen Southern States, including the District of Columbia, a trifle more than one-fourth, or about 26.9 per cent., are colored. In other words, in each group of 1,000 persons living in the Southern States 731 are white and only 269 are colored, a condition that makes a joke out of the vicious cry of "Negro Domination" by ignorant politicians. Prior to the present migration, Mississippi and South Carolina were the only States in which the colored population constituted 50 per cent. or more of the total State populations. The colored population of Georgia was 41.7 per cent. of the total, that of Louisiana 38.9 per cent. Alabama 38.4 per cent. and Florida 34.0 per cent. In no other Southern State, including the District of Columbia, does the colored population form as much as 30 per cent. of the State populations.
