A., 56 West 135th St., or 133 West 129th Street, New York Fellow Men of the Negro Race: It became part of my duty as leader of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, while on a trip through the South of the United States, to visit Tuskegee Institute, the great institution founded by the greatest of Western Negroes-Booker T. Washington-for the industrial education and improvement of the race. Wonders of Tuskegee Tuskegee is a wonder, and reflects the highest credit on a man who has labored, suffered and died without being thoroughly understood and gratefully rewarded. Washington, the Great With all that has been said for against Booker T. Washington, to me he stands out as the ablest Negro born on American soil and the greatest in the Western Hemisphere, probably with the exception of Touissant L'Ouverture the liberator of Haiti. The Strength of One and the Weakness of the Other To compare Booker T. Washington with Du Bois is like the comparison of the weed to the giant oak. The one man was an originator and builder who, out of nothing, constructed the greatest educational and industrial institution of the race in modern times. The other, a bombast and iconoclast, has found nothing else to do but parade his own little intelligence and, with the vanity of the dude, try to attract the attention of the thoughtless and vulgar. The Builder and Originator The memory and name of Washington, the builder and originator, shall live forever in the thoughts of our race, for no one can look at the monument of Tuskegee Institute without learning of the struggles and difficulties of the great sage and industrial wizard. The Man of Conceit, Who Claims All Knowledge TUSKEGEE A MONUMENT TO THE GENIUS AND ABILITY OF AMERICA'S GREATEST NEGRO WASHINGTON LIKE THE OAK, DU BOIS LIKE THE WEED GREATNESS OF MEN IN THE IDEAS ACCOMPLISHED AND NOT IN CRITICISM AFRICA NEEDS MORE WASHINGTONS AND LESS DU BOISES ALL NEGROES SHOULD HONOR THE SAGE OF TUSKEGEE who claims all knowledge and the perfection of wisdom, he assiduously applied himself to the consideration of human needs, and by a practical application of his human love, drew to him the rich and the poor, who helped him to bestow upon his race a blessing that they sadly needed. Booker's Blessing to the Race Ask what Booker T. Washington has done for the race and I point you to the broad acres of Tuskegee Institute at Tuskegee, Alabama, with a wonderful system of education for our young men and women, where a trained and efficient staff of teachers are preparing ambitious members of our race for the higher life in the development of scattered Ethiopia. Yes, I can point you to thousands of happy Negro homes and farms all over the North and South of America and in other parts of the world, made possible by the work of Washington at Tuskegee and his teaching of less than half a century. If you ask me of Du Bois I can only point you to his vicious and malicious criticisms of abler men who had the ability and daring to do, while he prided himself in being able to drink tea with some white friend or dance at the Astoria or have dinner at the Astor with whites, whose social companionship he hankers after. The one FIRST EDITION GOING FAST THE BOOK AND OPINIONS OF SEND FOR YOUR COPY NOW man has been a blessing to the race; the other a curse and an affliction. Builders for Africa If we had a hundred Washingtons, when we have had but one, then this race of ours would have long ceased to suffer. We need now men of the character of Washington to build for Africa and make their contribution to the world. Room for Workers There is room and opportunity still for more Washington. We may not need many more Tuskegees in America, but we need a thousand of them in Africa. Booker T. Washington was worth more to the race and the world than two million Du Boises. We can get along without a Du Bois, but we cannot without a Washington. We must pray, therefore, to the Creator to give us more of the latter and less of the former We need builders for Africa, not conceited and vain critics. We need Negroes who are proud of their blood and race, and not that element that bemoans its black ancestry and glories in the accidental and improper blood blending with Dutch, French or Anglo-Saxon despoilers. The God and the Pigmy To see Tuskegee is to elevate Washington to the height of the gods; to think of Du Bois in comparison is to descend to a world of pigmies for companionship. As President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, I call upon fellow members of the organization and of the race everywhere to honor the name of Booker T. Washington, the Educator, the Leader, Genius, the Builder, the MAN. With very best wishes for your success, I have the honor to be, Universal Negro Improvement Association Washington, D. C., November 6, 1923. To the Editor of The Macro-World: It is always a pleasure to write you well and let you know what I am seeing of this great country, so here is to the plague. On the 5th of October we left Kansas City, Mo., for Portland, Ore., by the Union Pacific railway route, pass- ing through the States of Kansas, Colo- rado, Wyoming, Idaho and Oregon. For three days I viewed the grandeur of the West—miles and miles of grazing photographs in Kansas, fields of corn and vegetables, and stacks of hay. In Idaho I saw several hot springs, and for almost a day the scenery was con- fined to a plateau land, with stubby growth—trees only two feet in height; but everywhere that vegetation could thrive was well cultivated, and scienti- tically foo- The fields looked to me like perfectly finished pictures; there were no rough spots. Imagine a hill with sections in different stages of cultivation, from ploughing to reaping, but each section properly cared for and in proper rotation. All along the route I saw freight trains loading the products of the fields and carrying them to other parts of the country for consumption. In many sections much of the produce is manufactured. For instance, there are flour mills, grain houses, sugar mills (sugar in this part of the country is made from white beets), canneries, which can all the fruits and vegetables, sent away, in fresh form. These industries give employment to hundreds of thousands of people, and cause cities and towns to be built up, according to the volume of business done. Such is the foundation on which the white man builds—industry. Beggars Cannot Choose A town or city cannot exist on nothing. Its backbone is either the minerals of the earth or the vegetation of the soils. Either manufacturing or farming, or all three, uses the distribution play an important part. In cases or seaport towns and big railroad centers, distribution of goods of all kinds is an industry in itself. This is the white man's method, of providing for his own people. It is sound. It is practical, and he is not making any provision for Negroes in any part of this country. From the producer to the consumer he is keeping it all in the big white family. A few industrial magnates may employ Negroes, but that is only when they cannot get white men to till the jobs, and they pay the Negroes less than the white man. If Negroes don't like any m treatment and unfamiliar they receive in such mental jobs, then they can quit and starve, forNegroes must not be choovers. Where are our big industrial magnates to give us good jobs? Where are our producers and distributors? Where are our big thinkers who are laying an industrial foundation to save us from economic starvation? We have none. You may argue that the race has produced doctors, lawyers and dentists; yet but they do not provide employment for others; their professions depend on the earnings of the people, and the amount of money they can get out of the people. Let all Negroes in any city become penitless and lawyers, doctors and dentists would starve also. As of them, so of the preachers. What can any preacher do with a hungry congregation? He, too, would soon follow them into the great beyond. You may argue that we have business men in the race. Yes, but what kind of business men? Real estate dealers, barber shop and restaurant proprietors? All men with whom we have to spend money. Not business men from when we can earn wages and who can take care of our economic existence. For Argument Sake Friends! Let us step nicely. Let us get together and have our own manufacturing plants and our mills. Let us employ ourselves. Everywhere I go and ask about labor conditions, I hear the same old wall. "The white folks are tightening down on us, we can hardly get work now." What on earth will we do if white folks close their industrial doors on us altogether. Just suppose for argument sake that we woke up one morning and read a proclamation that all white people had decided to stop employing Negroes. How long do you think it would take before we would all be boarding in heaven and feasting on milk and honey?

These and other thoughts chased through my brain while viewing the great industries of the Western States, built up and run exclusively for white people, whether they be native Americans or poor European emigrants. All are welcome to enjoy the benefits of this great country as long as they are members of the white race. At Portland, Ore. October 11 we arrived in Portland, Ore. About 1,500 Negroes live there. There is no black belt in the city, as the Negro population is so small; but Negroes are not allowed to live in certain sections. If they happen to get in by some means or other they have an exciting time living there. A prominent wealthy lady of the race told us that she lived in a very fine white neighborhood, but she had to sleep with two guns near her pillow in expectation of the white mob. I admire her courage, but certainly fear her environment. The majority of our people own their own homes. The men are employed mainly by the Fullman company as porters and waiters on the trains; a few of them are tradesmen. Lumber, wheat, fish and fruit are the chief products. Much of the lumber and wheat is shipped to Japan and China. Sixty miles from Portland in the famous Hood River Valley, which produces the best apples in the country. It is said that California grows the prettiest apples, but Oregon grows the sweetest. Willamette Valley is famous for its logan berries, and historical because it was the early pioneer settlement of the State. One of the most delightful drives I ever had was along the Columbia River highway, a boulevard that skirts the Columbia River (from which we get our salmon) for miles, winding around the hills all the way. One views the most charming and picturesque scenery along this boulevard. The broad and spacious river below; above, massive rocks towar up to the sky, while over the cliffs from precipitous heights flow waterfalls. I had the pleasure of going quite near up to two of those falls, and was awed by the height from which the water flowed in seeming majesty to the rocks below, unchecked and unbridled. All around was misty and calm; one could hear the echo of one's voice against the rocks. Such are the glories of nature. City of Roses Portland is a city of roses. They bloom all the year round, cultivated and uncultivated, along the sidewalks and even in the gasoline stations they flown. Its roses, roses everywhere to charm the eye and perfume the air, fruit, too, is cheap. Driving along the highway I saw several little sheds in front of the farms with fruits and vegetables. Watermelon is sold at two cents a pound; ten cents for a budget of apples and five cents for a canteau. "Coming in on the train I saw the celebrated Uscade Locks on the Columbia River. They were built about thirty-five years ago at a cost of millions of dollars, to facilitate the traffic on the river, but since the railroad has been built and the freight trains do the hauling of produce the locks are not much used. I also saw the snow-capped peaks of Mount Hood in the distance. An old Oregonian told, me that the "black laws" are still on the statute books, whereby no Negroes can own land or vote. By the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution these laws are null and void, but the white people have refused to strike them from the statute books. They have no civil rights bill, either, in the State to protect Negroes. K. K. K. in Politics The Ku Klux Klan is very strong in politics in Oregon and Washington. They succeeded in electing Governor Pierre and Congressman Watson to office. The Western American is a weekly newspaper published by the organization in Portland. Herewith is an article which I think will interest some of my friends: The Klan Stands for These Principles "The tenets of the Christian religion, white supremacy, protection of our pure womanhood, closer relationship between American capital and American labor, preventing the causes of mob violence and lynchings, preventing unwarranted strikes by foreign labor agitators, the limitation of foreign immigration, the promotion of pure Americanism, upholding the Constitution of the United States; the sovereignty of our State rights, the separation of church and State, freedom of speech and press, education of worthy American citizenship, protection of the weak and innocent; defense of the helpless; relief of the injured and oppressed the suffering and the unfortunate; public education, the much-needed local reforms." "No Klanmanan or Klanswoman, worthy by the name, or true to the nacred vows, will spend a cent with a known enemy of our great, right." Bv N. G. G. T. Some of the most virulent attacks on the Universal Negro Improvement Association having come from a couple of irresponsible Negroes professing to be minor editions of Eugene V. Deba, socialist leader in the United States, but who, unlike him, turn capitalist now and then when coin is low, it was natural that we should peep in at the Commonwealth Casino, New York, on the night of October 30, when Debs was slated to address Negroes-Eugene Victor Debs, who suffered imprisonment at Atlanta, Ga., for being too outspoken during the war. Negroes in Minority It was an awful night, as far as the elements were concerned. It rained in torrents before, during and after the meeting. Blessed were they who anticipated a packed assembly, for they avoided taxi fares. At 2.1 p.m., when Debs appeared, putting an end to the preliminary oratory, there were about a thousand persons in the auditorium—about 800 whites, 175 Negroes and 25 policemen (white and black). I was somewhat disappointed. I had expected to see Negroes preponderantly in the majority. As I entered the hall I made a mental note that Socialism among Negroes was not weatherproof; either this, or that, as far as Harlem was concerned, it was a negligible quantity. The "Twins" had good reason to hike to the Pacific coast. The Prelude: The chairman of the meeting, a Negro, having introduced Mr. Debs, this venerable gentleman having kissed on the left cheek (or was it the right?) a little Negro girl and a little white girl (who brought him floral gifts), in the order named, whercat the audience grow ecstatic, I rubbed my hands and crossed my legs and primed my pen, waiting for the golden honeyed words soon to fall from the lips of the great orator. It was a splendid oration. I thoroughly enjoyed the unfavoring delivery of this game man, his poetry, his wealth of allusion, his eloquent imaginative flights, his wit, his superb gesticulation, his unsparing indiment of his conceived race. But to me, a Negro, his "Negroganda" did not ring true. Not Quite Clear He told his Negro "comrade" in one and the same breath that he became a Socialist, among other things, to bear witness to this cruel discrimination against human beings "on account of the color of their skin"; that they were discriminated against by "white folks not so much because they were black, but because they, the white folks, were ignorant; that there was in reality nothing in the world like "race prejudice," only "class prejudice"; that the white capitalist, Republican and Democrat, thought of white and black only in terms of service—they were just white "hands" and black "hands" to him; that the white capitalist was abysmally ignorant—shrewed but ignorant; that if 12,000,000 Negroes in this country stood together they would develop a power that would command respect; that he could not help the Negro—the Negro must help himself; that all the illions to which the Negro is heir would be dissolved if he stood side by side with the white worker. It was all very confusing. At one point in his speech I thought Mr. Debs was going to be frank and bid Negroes one and all, join the U. N. I. A. For if few moments I thought I was listening to Marcus Garvey. But I was quickly distressed. Not one word of Africa, or Garvey, or the U. N. I. A. He only bade Negroes unite, get self-respect, embrace education, act like real men and women; in short, do the things which the U. N. I. A. would have them do. Some Colored Spots Following are some excerpts from Mr. Debs' speech: "I am more than glad to see the colored people represented here tonight. From the beginning of my life my heart has been with them. I never could understand why they were denied any right or any privilege or any liberty that the white man had a right to enjoy. I never knew of any distinction on account of the color of the flesh of the human being. Indeed, when I have thought of what the colored people have been made to suffer at the hands of the supposedly superior race, every time I look a colored brother in the face I blush for the crime that my race has committed against his race. (Frantle anphause.) "Brothers and Sisters" "I do not speak to my colored brothers tonight in any patronizing sense; I meet them upon a common basis of equality; they are my brothers and disters, and I want nothing that is denied them, and if there is one of them who will shine my shoes and I am not willing to shine his, he is my moral superior." (Upoorable applause). That is one of the reasons why I became a Socialist. "I did it to bear witness to some of this 'cruel discrimination against human beings on account of the color of their skin. I never could understand it."

Prejudice and blased opinions have defeated hartefores the efforts of the native elements directed to throw light upon the real grievance of the Island, but they shall not avail when the true conditions are known to such leaders of the legislative branch of the Washington government as Brookhart, La Follette, Borah and Magnus Johnson. Can anybody do that the organic law (the "Jones law") now in force in Porto Rico is a sword of two edges that is working havoc with the mutual understanding in the island, and has converted the Porto Rican native from a quast contented being into a sullen, pessimistic and dissatisfied creature? Bad judgment and unfair, opinions are the curse of Porto Rico, and as on outcome of the confusion there is neither the time nor the desire to pay any attention to the idle thousands loitering in the towns and rural districts of the island. Of course, pointing, out the number of pupils attending the Porto Rican schools, and juggling with the statistics of trade to show a material advancement from which the island's worker it not getting his due share, will not down the fundamental wrongs and Congress should know that in all its worth. Facts are facts, and the majority of the Porto Rican people are perfectly agreed by this time that the Jones law is a fragrant injustice perpetrated against an island well disposed to her friends in Washington. Much more could be said further over the mistake which is being committed in Porto Rico at the cost of valable time and interest, and also the mutual respect of natives and "continental" Americans. Naturally, men of the high caliber of Governor Horace M. Towner might contribute to soften the present state of affairs, but the unpleasant feeling is already apparent with an haplus constitution which has outgrown its early usefulness, if it ever had any. Congress will have to do something to lift Porto Rico from her present plight. Filipinos Give. Gov. Wood the Cold Shoulder MANILA, F. I., Nov. 2.—Gen. Leonard Wood has found ruling the Philippines sometimes considered colored and sometimes not, according to convenience, a delicate and difficult job. The recent tight made on his administration by Manuel Quezon, Senate leader, and his followers is being continued, and racial distinctions are being raised more sharply than has ever been known before. The War Department is trying the big stick method of dealing with the recalcitrant political leaders. Last week Gen. Wood laid down the law as he read his annual message to the Legislature. As he entered the legislative chamber, accompanied by Major-Gen. Osborne, his aide, the members arose. Gov. Wood shook hands with Senate Leader Manuel Quezon and Speaker Roxas of the House, and then read his 6,000-word message in a calm, even tone. Not a sound of approval or disapproval followed its completion, and Gov. Wood and his companions marched out amid deathly silence. It is said Gen. Wood will make a lecture tour of the United States, speaking against the independence of the Philippine islands, if present plans which are being considered by high administration officials are carried through. Tuskegee Nurses Restored WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 1—Evelyn D. Robinson, Della Wood and Zelda H. Peck, nurses of the Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee, suspended by Col. Stanley, have been ordered to return to their positions. Investigation by the Veterans' Bureau shows that there had been no just cause for auspension. "THERE IS NO CITIZENSHIP EQUALITY THROUGHOUT THE BRITISH EMPIRE" (From the New York World) . LONDON, Nov. 1 - Premier Smuts of South Africa, in his speech at the Imperial Conference Monday, and made public this evening, on the political and economic status of British Indians in other parts of the Empire, made what is likely to prove a momentous declaration regarding relations of the component parts of the empire toward each other. He attremously resisted the Indiana claim to political and economic equality with citizens in other parts of the Empire, contending the claim arose from a fairly general "mis-operation" that will subject the Ming are equal. He continued: By A. J. McNAUGHT All close observers of international affairs will agree with me when I say that the death knell of the British empire was sounded on the declaration of war in 1914 and nobody knows the facts better than the British politicians themselves. Since that time the empire has been undergoing steady but marked disintegration. Ireland has won her fight against England for freedom after a prolonged struggle of more than 750 years. The Irish victory, when considered in the light of present day conditions, cannot be overestimated. It is one of the most tangible facts showing the inherent weakness of the mother country, as it has virtually made Ireland a republic in everything but name. Canada's Independence Since the armistice, and even before Canada has been clamoring to have its own representative in Washington. The British foreign office, sensing the spectacle of ultimately having five dominion representatives, excluding the ones from Ireland, which undoubtedly would pursue a policy hostile to England, has always refused to grant Canada's request, as to do so would lead to a complete smash-up of the empire. What was Canada's answer? She defied Downing street by quietly dropping in to Washington a few months ago and signing up a canal and waterway treaty with the United States over the protest of the British ambassador, even refusing to let him sign the document. The prince ministers of the empire recently sitting in the British Imperial Conference, in London, will pass a resolution at the close creating the "British Commonwealth of Nations," a term first used in the treaty with the Irish Free State, the successor of the British empire. The civilised world as large acknowledges the right of the self-governing dominions of Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa to be admitted into the family of nations, and we have it from 'no less an authority than David Lloyd George, Great Britain's war-time premier, who said in his speeches in Canada that their membership in the League of Nations is the "certificate of nationhood." At the present time India is seething with revolt, headed by Mahatma Gandhi's non-co-operation movement, and South Africa is hiding its time under the Boer, General Herogo, who (Continued on page 5) Mississippi Savages Try 10 HIDE LYNCHING CRIMES JACKSON, Miss., Nov. 2. Reports have been received here that as many as twenty-five Negroes have been murdered and lynched by white men during the past year. New of these lynchings has been prevented from reaching the country. Negroes having knowledge of them have been threatened with summary death if found guilty of reporting the crimes, against humanity and the law. Still Leaving Georgia ATLANTA, GA, Nov. 2—(By A. N. P.)—Georgia colored people still are going to Northern States at the rate of 1,500 a week, with no indication of a decrease in migration, according to an announcement by the State Department of Commerce and Labor. During the period July, 1927, to July, 1923, approximately 200,000 left the State, it was said. Agents of the department, have been continuing, their check of outgoing trains and it was stated that the estimate of 1,500 leaving a week was "very conservative." "There is no equality of British citizenship throughout the Empire. The newer conception of the British Empire as a smaller League of Nations and as a partnership of free and equal nations under a common, hereditary sovereignty involves an even further departure from the simple conception of unitary citizenship. "Each separate part of the Empire will settle for itself the nature and incidents of its citizenship. It will not only regulate immigration from other parts of the Empire as well as from the outside world, but it will also settle the sign of its citizens as a matter of domestic concern." BY LE VAN England and America have become very anxious lately about their mutual friendship—England more especially. Several European statesmen have made good-will tours to and throughout this country, each saying a lot about preserving civilization, saving the world, rescuing Europe, etc., by Anglo-American understanding and cooperation. Lloyd George, one of the principal figures in the recent world-melding, on sailing from the shores of America November 8 said, "The greatest cause on earth is the unity, and co-operation of the English speaking peoples for human welfare." On the same date George Harvey, retiring American ambassador to England, when asked the reason for his retiring, replied "It is better that I go home and work for the great cause of British and American friendship. If these two great countries don't hang together there is nothing left for the world." There is a deep meaning behind this talked-of unity and understanding left unsaid but thoroughly understood by those who read between the lines. Something is weakening. Strong, militant, aggressive, proud, haughty, self- centered. England of a decade ago with her absolute control of the seas and firm grip upon her outlying dominions and territories would never have wanted time today soliciting anybody's friendship were this not so. But with France the undisputed warlord of Europe openly defying her as she stands upon the neck of dying Germany; with Ireland determined, to paddle her own canoe or capsize it in her own blood; with Egypt and India twisting themselves loose from English domination, with awakened Japan, well fed, armed, ambitious and watchfully waiting while millions in Russia dream of world domination. England whose navy has been made a pile of junk by modern airplanes and submarines, works feverishly now to make friends with somebody—anybody. Again we hear the hypocritical cry "Save the world." GAS, HOT-AIR AND BUNK "Preserve civilization" and the like used by these gasbags to catch the unsuspecting. We've had enough of this bunk. The world is fed-up on this gas. We just sacrificed a lot of men, spent a lot of money and autocracy and make it safe for democracy. All we succeeded in destroying the German autocracy and made it a republic. If the destruction of autocracy was all they not throw around the young German republic instead of placing upon them the same load the backs of the autocrats had they negotiated per continue to this moment strangling the German.

After paying an enormous price we succeeded in destroying the German autocracy which was a menace. Germany denounced the kaiser and established almost over-night a democratic republic. If the destruction of autocracy was all the allies fought for, why did they not throw around the young German republic a strong arm of protection instead of placing upon them the same load they would have strapped to the backs of the autocrats had they negotiated peace with them? Why do they continue to this moment strangling the German republic to death? This talk of saving the world, making it safe for democracy, and so on, is nothing but a sham and a lie. It is nothing more or less than the age-worn struggle of families, tribes, clans, races and nations for lands, wealth and power. It is a vain effort on the part of England to stay the inevitable. She sees the hand writing on the wall. Her days are numbered. She must go down to bear mute testimony of the fact that there can be no permanence as long as the strong oppress the weak. Others are soon to follow in her wake. Assyria, Egypt, Greece, Rome, have all traveled this path, and England will soon go the way of those that are dead. Had Ambassador Harvey said the white world, must hang together or they will hang separately he would have said it well. AN UNNECESSARY COMMISSION Is it really true that the "good white folks" of Dixie don't know why Negroes are leaving the South? Are they genuine when they talk of making investigations and appointing committees to find out why Negroes leave. Is it necessary for them to spend thousands of dollars investigating and searching for the cause of the Negroes' exodus from the sunny land of the Klan? Are they honestly ignorant? If the activities of Colonel H. L. Remmel serve as an indicator, white folks don't know why Negroes are leaving. Of course the Negroes of Arkansas did not ask him, but, I suppose, his love for the good old darkies and his fear of losing their companionship led him to see President Coolidge in their interest. The colonel has asked the President to appoint a committee of five to find out why Negroes are leaving the South and the taking of steps to stop them. The appointment of a committee to investigate the cause, or check the onrush of Negroes North is a useless expenditure of time and money. The South and Colonel Remmel know why Negroes are leaving and know just Remmel know why Negroes what to do to check them. If they admit they do or feels.

Mr. Preacher, Mr. Lawyer what to do to check them. If they admit they don't they are both either hair or feels. What they are hoping for is the appointment of committees or commissions so that the Negro will be induced to take something a little less than the absolute abolishment of Jim crow, all segregation laws and the complete enforcement of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. But again lighthouse Colonel Remmel and the South are d——hars. The Negro will not be satisfied with less than every right enjoyed by whites in the South. Until these are guaranteed he will continue to leave in spite of the appointment of committees or commissions. He may not get in the North every light the white man enjoys, but he does enjoy a longer freedom and more security. This enables him to think clearer and make preparations for his next move. While we do not say what that move will be we can at least assure you that it will be in the direction of liberty, freedom and independence. It is in this direction the Negro's every move will be made in the future.

KLAN GOLD TABOOED LENINGTON, Ky. Nov. 2—By A. N. I. "The African Methodist Episcopal Church will never accept a cent of Klan money. It is tainted and would sally the Christian principles for which this church stands," said Bishop A. J. Carey, presiding over the Lexington district conference here this week. "Sand this money back to Ashland, and tell them we do not want it." Throughout this state the Klan has been growing increasingly and insistently active. It has invaded many places and won over many people whom the colored people of the section have in the past considered friends. Bishop Vernon Sails NEW YORK, Oct. 20—Bishop W. T.

FROM THIS FORUM THE MESSAGE GOES FORTH THAT IS AWAKENING THE NEGROES OF THE WORLD—THE PROGRAM OF THE U. N. I.

SMITH, CANDIDATE FOR ALDERMAN, SPEAKS IN LIBERTY HALL IN PRAISE OF GARVEY AND HIS ORGANIZATION—EXPRESSES HIS SYMPATHY FOR THE MOVEMENT AND PROMISES HIS WHOLE-HEARTED SUPPORT LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday Night, November 4.—There can be no doubt that The Universal Negro Improvement Association has brought to the Negroes of the world an awakened spirit which has created within them a desire to know more about themselves and the past achievements of their race which have for centuries been concealed from them with the design to keep them in ignorance and locking in the aspirations to better themselves and their conditions that would bring them in competition with the other races who are controlling the world. Coming at a time when the Negro had almost lost hope. The Universal Negro Improvement Association with its program of unplift industrially, politically and otherwise and its claim of Africa for the Africans, has given the Negro a new base on life. Smit wonder, therefore, that the Association has appealed to the millions of Negroes in all parts of the world, for it is the only Negro organization that has ever sought to link up the Negro peoples of the world, point out to them their true condition and give them the hope that by uniting together they can command the respect of the world and at some time in the future establish on the continent of Africa a government of their own, which will afford protection for Negroes wherever they may be. The speeches delivered to night were full of thought and inspiration. They inspired those who are already members of the Association to continue giving it their support and impressed those of the audience who were not members, with the fact that the Association is doing more to enlighten the Negro race than any other organization in existence. The speakers were: Hon. William Sherrill, Hon. Robert L. Poston, Hon. James O'Mealy, Hon. P. L. Burrows, Miss Mary Carver, and Hon. John William Smith, the Democratic candidate for Alderman in the Twenty-first Assembly District.

The habits and life of people were governed by' the necessities of their particular environments, hence the difference in their civilization. Mr. O'Meally spoke interestingly on the subject, "Live Free Or Die"; Mr. Burrowes' spoke on the subject, "The Time, the Place and the Man," and Mr. Smith spoke in terms of praise' of the organization and its leader, the Hon. Marceau Garvey, who he characterized as the greatest living Negro, having been able to organise as he has Negroes in all parts of the world into one organization and caused them to be thinking in one direction. He promised that if he was successful' in being reelected to the Board of Aldermen, he would do nothing that would retard the progress' of the race and, especially would he see to it that if the Universal Negro Improvement Association again sought the permission of the Board of Aldermen to hold a Tag Day he would support the measure and do all in his power to have it passed. Announcement was made of the return to New York of the Hon. Marcus Garvey and his intention to speak in Liberty Hall on Thursday night of this week. Following is a text of the speeches: HON. WILLIAM SHERRIL SPEAKS Hon. William Sherill said: "We are indeed glad to welcome you in Liberty Hall tonight. We hope that you will be repaid by the receiving of inspiration, information and encouragement along the lines of racial progress and uplift. It is a wonderful thing to be a member of a great organization like the Universal Negro Improvement Association. There is something about this organization that gives one courage, hope and determination to go forward. Organization Telling the Truth "The Universal Negro Improvement Association is an organization that is telling the Negro the truth. We have got a lot of organizations among Negroes—political organizations, church organizations and fraternal organizations, but there are few organizations among Negroes that unindirectly and uncompromisingly tell the Negro the truth. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is an organization that is endeavoring to tell the Negroes the truth, both about themselves and about conditions in the world affecting themselves. The information came to me today that Mr. Howard Carter, the gentleman who is reopening the tomb of Tutankhamen, has postponed the reopening until he settles the question about the giving out of the news regarding the disclosures that will be revealed. The Egyptian Government holds that they should also give out the news regarding the findings in the tomb, and Mr. Carter is fighting in in order that his expedition, which controls certain papers, might have a monopoly on giving out the news regarding the finding in Tutankhamen's tomb. But he has waited a little bit too late. I see in that an effort to carry on the same old methods of covering up information which would tend to prove the past greatness of the Negro. What little information the Negro has received about himself, up to the present time, has been received by laborious study and research over piles of literature in order to get one bit of truth about his past achievements and accomplishments, because everything about the Negro has been carefully covered up and concealed by the other fellow. Titero has been a little talk about Tutankhamen's color, and many suspect that Tutankhamen was a black man, and that when they find him they will find that he had woolly hair, a broad nose and large-sized lips, which would establish beyond a reasonable doubt that the past greatness of the Valley of the Nile was brought about by degrades. I think that Mr. Carter is a little bit anxious about these things, because if he happens to find what he hopes he will not find, he is afraid the Egyptian Government will give it out just as he finds it. If he can keep it from them and give to his own papers only what suits him, he will dish out to the world only what he wants it to know. But the Egyptians are wide awake, now and will see to it that they themselves participate in the giving out of the news regarding the findings in the tomb. Our other hopes lies in the fact that a Negro representation is on this commission, and we don't think his lips can be scared. The Universal Negro Improvement Association in tryl... re keep wide awake on all such things in order that Negroes the world over may keep abreast with and be informed as to all movements that are made to discredit and keep them down. The association, therefore, throws open its doors and welcomes all Negroes to come within its folds. (Applause.) SIR ROBERT L. POSTON'S ADDRESS "Some men were sent to a frigid climate and they were given skins that were adjusted to that climate, and they called them Eskimos; and other people were sent to a torrid climate and they were given skins and digestive organs and a general machinery that would fit that kind of a climate. Then some men were sent to a temperate climate, a climate such as the United States of America, and they were given physical being to adjust themselves to the particular climate that God wanted them to live and to function in. Environment "You will find people living in some parts of the country that talk with a rather droll accent. If some of you have ever traveler *Southern* or *West*, you will find the people in those sections have a *whole lot of time*, and they talk to you like they have a *whole lot of time*. The people in that part of the world where I was born, when they see you early in the morning they say, 'Hello, John,' begin at Mary and inquire about every person in the family. They have a *whole lot of time*. You don't do it here. The climate in different. It makes you a little more snappy. You walk brisk and talk brisk. There is that difference. But difference in civilization does not represent superiority in civilization. If the people near the North Pole walk with a swagger and the people here in New York walk more brisk, if the people talk faster here in New York than they do in the *Southlands*, there is no indication that one civilization is superior to the other—it only represents a difference in civilization. If a man lives in a skyscraper in New York and flies to his work in an aerospace and a man lives in a cave in Africa and foots it every day to his office it does not mean that the New Yorker is one bit superior to the African, but only in so far as the New Yorker excels in those refined characteristics which really distinguishes the civilized from the uncivilized. Need for Effort Now the white man who was placed in the temperate zone in places such as the United States of America and who did not have a fertile soil that he could till and which almost overnight would yield him plenty, so that he might have certain delicacies in the winter time that he handles all the year round, he had to build large manufactures where he could can good and various things of that kind; in order to keep his body warm he had to develop the furnace, and in order that he might make room for a congested population he had to put more buildings on buildings and have skyscrapers—a difference in civilization and not a superior civilization. Why work all day where the climate is hot, if with a little exertion under a climate like that the native African can get the necessities of life? What is the need of him building a skyscraper or even thinking of a furnace? So, not always does a difference in civilization represent a superior civilization. A Comparison "Now, the white man in his various civilizations develops an appetite faster than he develops a power to get the maximum enjoyment out of what he has, and, consequently, he has an unnatural ambition that leads him to want to monopolize the entire world; and to assist him in doing this he is developing an army and he is developing a navy. But what would you think if I were to tell you that this white man who is developing machinery, this so-called superior and civilized white man, commits more murders in six months here in New York city, with a population of seven millions, than in the whole of Nigeria with a population of seventeen millions? They commit more murders here, in six months than in the whole of Africa, in six years. And consult your divorce courts, consult the general condition of the masses, the ordinary common man, white or black, in this civilization and see if you have anything here to lord it over the natives. Only, as I said, when your civilization comes within and affects your life so that you in your relationship to mankind function in ways peaceful and for the betterment of mankind can you boost of your high civilization. Satisfied with Too Little But whilst the white man has developed an unusual appetite for the things about him, the Negro's appetite has gone undeveloped, and consequently, the Negro here in New York and the Negro in Africa is satisfied with too little. God has placed the diamond in the earth for a purpose and the gold for a reason, and the coal and all of the minerals and material have been placed in the earth for a purpose. If we do not beatir ourselves and utilize that for the good of humanity and for the development of a civilization of our own, we must not complain when those whose excited appetite, whose desire for these things lead them into ways, into places which are by birth our own, consequently we are appealing to the colored people throughout the world to develop yourselves, not to be satisfied with no little. You need an army and a mary, too; not for the aggressive work such as the white man carries on, not to conquer the world; but you need an army and a navy for the protection of a land which you live in order that in peaceful ways you can develop a civilization that will excel this chasm and camouflage that we call civilization in the United States of America and in strife-ridden Europe. Pointing the Way The Universal Negro Improvement Association points the way. Our critics may criticize, but there is nothing like this program. It gives mankind independence; it puts starch and backbone in you; it gives you something to live for, and it makes you not afraid to die. (Applause.) They criticise us and say, "Well, we will join an organization that is all Negro, but they make so many mistakes." Why, this government makes mistakes, but you don't stop supporting the government. It makes a mistake every time it lynches a colored man and every time it micromills him, yet you never refuse to pay your taxes. And if Uncle Sam gets in trouble he will send you one of these nice invitations to join his army that you cannot well refuse. And yet you find the critic-standing on the outside and criticising the only organization that means to bring to the black man a genuine freedom, a real opportunity under the banner of the Red, the Black and the Green. (Loud applause.) Sir James O'Meally spoke on the subject, "Live Free or Die." He said: "The spirit which animates the subject races, and especially the Negro race, and causes them to agitate for and work toward complete emancipation and self-determination is not an artificial, or initiative spirit, as the white man would have us believe; neither is it born of the blood, the tears and the cruel sufferings of our ancestors. But the spirit which pushes us on toward liberty and freedom is natural to every human being. Looke, the philosopher, says. The natural liberty of man is to be free from any superior power on earth and not to be under the will or legislative authority of any man. Such an extent is this understood and appreciated among the whites that they have never failed to lend their material assistance and moral support to white groups seeking to throw off the yoke of oppression and to share God's greatest gift—liberty. The White Man's View "You will observe, my friends, that when I was speaking of the help extended to groups struggling to obtain their liberty I used the word 'white' before the word 'group.' The reason is simple: It is because what is regarded as a virtue and a sign of progress, to be encouraged, when seen among the whites, is looked upon as a vice or misinfluence when exhibited by Negroes. The regretable fact that Negroes have given but scant attention to their complete enciancement and the demanding of their rights as men, preferring to live on the charity and tolerance of the dominant races, satisfied with liberty in theory and to be but scars in practice, does not infer that liberty is foreign to his nature, but only that his soul bruised and torn, crushed in him by the cruel white man has presented him from asserting himself in the manner which the Creator intended. The Will to Live "One of the speakers made mention of the fact that our ancestors did nothing for us. True. Sometimes we felt that our ancestors should have done more toward obtaining a greater measure of freedom and liberty. Sometimes we believe that they should have given up in one mighty upbravel and cut their way to dietary or death, but when we draw back the skill of time and see the anguish and suffering, the bell and hate they had to endure, the discontent under which they labored, we realize we must bless them for having exerted the will to live, hoping, hoping that one day their descendants would repay. (Aplauspe) Is it not wonderful to think that men and women could have passed through that valley of death, even though their souls were crushed within them, and persisted to live on? Surely, God friends that this suffering race should be the instrument to repair the wrong committed against them by a cruel people!" Liberty a Heritage NON. P. L. BURROWS SPEAKS. Hon. P. L. Burrows was the next speaker. He pursued his promise of seeing the increase in the attendance, at Liberty Hall and said it made him glad to know that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is on the upward-path. He believed that there will be no time in the history of the organisation that it will to backward. It has come to stay, and instead of going backward it would keep on going forward and the time was not far distant when the Universal Negro Improvement Association will be able to make a treaty with some of the other so-called Negro organisations in order that they may get recognition among the Negro peoples of the world. The Time, the Plato and the Man The Time, the Places and the Man His subject for the evening, he said, was "The Time, the Place and the Man." It has been said that—nothing happens before the time. We take it for granted that that is so and in many cases there are evidences to back that statement up. The time for the delivery of the children of Israel did not come until Pharoh was inflicted with a serious malady—toothache they say. If toothache Pharoh to let the Children of Israel go as some people believed, the time is not far off when some ache will cause the Negroes of the world to also be free. The time has come he said, for the Negro to demand a place in the sun and the man who realized that time had come was Hon. Marcus Garvey. He was inspired by God to sound a chirion call throughout the Universe to gather our people together in order that they may find a place in the sun. The time came when this call was sounded, but it was hard to find a place throughout the countries of the world where the Caucasian resides, for working out the destinies of the Negro. The United States of America was the only place where this program could be launched—this colossal program that today does not only affect the Negroes throughout the world, but it has affected the white man in his own habitat. He believed that when the time does come that Africa is redeemed, the Negro will not forget that the United States has been his best friend. Having found the time and the place, the man was found in the person of Homo. Marus Garvey, the greatest Negro that the world has ever produced, he had no fears in saying that because he believed that no one man neither white, black or yellow—has ever found an universal call before for the bringing together of his people. (Others have done it nationally locally and in small groups, but no man has ever dreamt of sounding a clarion call that would resound throughout the length and breadth of the universe. The call of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is entitled the world and notwithstanding the fact that there are some who soiled at the movement, it was nevertheless working in the interests of Negroes in all parts of the world. Its program is aiding them; there is no segregation or discrimination in the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Every Negro man and woman is offered the opportunity to any, thitherwise. At the movement, the men are on who are working day and in it at a time. The time it now be concerned the place is here and it is up to every Negro to join hands with us in order that we may shake the foundations of this great universe and a life bound and no place that God gave us the same. The movement involves the time and the time is coming when every Negro must keep up whether they like it or not. The ultimate solution of the past lies in the Universal Negro Improvement Association, there is choice but the organization. By program is a sensible one and is working of the consideration of every person man, and it was up to each and every Negro to bring a moral, intellectual and physical way if necessary to demean our motherland. (Applier.) HON. JOHN W. SMITH SPEAKS he would promise. He would not promise the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association the Woodworth Building, but he did promise that if it became necessary for them to ask that the Board of Aldermen pass a resolution granting the organization permission to have a tag day he would present it and carry it through in order that they should have such a festival. he neglected that a member of the face should retard the progress of any Negro organization in the United States, and that is one of the things that gave him the determination to put out of office his predecessor (Mr. Harris) through whose opposition the resolution granting the U. N. L. A. permission to have a tag dity was lost. Referring to Hon. Marcus Guray, Mr. Smith said he considered Mr. Guray one of the greatest human beings that the Lord had ever put on earth. Regardless of the fact whether he agreed with him or not, in his opinion he (Mr. Guray) has accomplished something great in bringing the Negroes in the four corners of the earth together and thinking in one direction. It is, he admitted, a hard job to get a large number of Negroes to think one way, and he could really sympathise with Mr. Guray in his trials and tribulations in trying, to bring black people together, and he hoped to see the day when this organization will put itself on a self-sustaining basis. He hoped, to see the day when instead of having upon this site a one-story building, there would be a colossal ten-story JOYZONE RED TONIC Get this tonic and watch yourself become stronger, more powerful, full of life, feel, enjoy.

Civilization and Christianity "The colored man has just as much in him that is potential and capable of development as the white man has (coerulous applause), and all he needs is a chance; that is all; he has never had it (Renewed applause). I am sometimes surprised to think, of the claims that are made in the name of religion and the very much valued Christian civilization that has everything in it but Christianity. (Applause and laughter) Even in the great Christian church the colored people have got to see about (A voice: "Next to Heaven!") and I have had many and many a heated argument down in the Southern States and sometimes narrowly avoided trouble, making the contention that the colored man was a human being and had some rights that the white man ought to respect." The Negro's Duty "I have a word to you workers, you colored workers, about your duty in this campaign, your duty to yourselves, your families, your class and to humanity. I am not here asking for anything for myself. I want to speak to you very plainly to night, especially you colored people, and have you minded, and that it is not in my power to do anything for you but to take my place side by side with you. That is all I can do. (Applause) But while I can do nothing for you there is nothing that you cannot do for yourselves. (Applause) That is one thing I want to express upon your minds to night and that is to request for yourself. As soon as you are willing to be the one and the second and the power of the whole people that is what you will be (Applause) You have to decide that there are 12 months of you in this campaign, and if you will enter and share together all to each other you will develop a power that will command respect. (Applause) As long as you are interested in as many as you are satisfied, as long as you draft in your imagination, you will invite contests and receive. But when you should be treated to your manhood and womanhood, close up the room and hand them, you will command your power and consideration and you will receive a cloud app plan. It is the only way you ever will receive it. Everything depends upon your selection. You have a chance you can develop a capacity for clear thinking. That is a duty you owe to yourselves and your class to your race and humanity. (Applause) That is the appeal I am making to you tonight. The Negro's Monopoly This is the season of the year when the frost is on the pumpkin. They building and he would use his efforts in whatever way he could to help to accomplish this. He hoped the day would come when the members of this organization in this section of the country would realize that they have problems to solve, and one source through which they can be solved is through the ballot box. If the voting strength of Negroes in Harlem was combined we would be able to send a representative to the Congress of the United States, and he hoped the day was not far distant when this would happen; then it will be that Negroes will be able to demand what they want and will get it. (the politicians) do not discriminate against you colored people at this time. On the contrary, they are glad to look into your intelligent faces, and they tell you that the beads of honest sweat that glisten on your manly browns are more precious than the jewels that blaze and flash in the corouset of a queen. (Laughter.) But they don't decorate themselves with that kind of jewelry. That is the one monoply you possess. And they tell you they are so greatly impressed with your intelligence—if you were really intelligent you would get what you work for. But after the election is over, they fold up their tents and, like the Arab, they slowly fade away. Least We Forget "How many of you are aware of the fact that the first drop of blood shed in the revolutionary struggle was shot by a Negro, colored man—Gelpun-Attucks, to whom Boston has now erected a monument? He was the first human being shot down by the British soldiery in that struggle. He was a Negro, the man whose blood was first shot for American independence. But you do not read that in the school histories, do you? (Applause). No Negro gets any credit for that." AFRICA'S WEALTH GOING ASTRAY ANTWERP, Belgium, Nov. 1 (A. N.—N.)

The Universal Negro Improvement Asn. has nothing of the group and group leadership weakness about it. It is national and international organization. It has concentrated leadership that makes for mass rather than group action. It has the only kind of organization and leadership that makes for power and respect. And why not? It stands for the redemption of Africa from white rule, for the establishment of a Negro State in Africa and for the betterment of the social, civil and economic condition of Negroes in all lands where they are citizens or subjects. Millions of people in the United States, in the West Indies and in Africa believe in the Universal Negro Improvement Association and in Marcus Garvey, the founder and leader of it, because they stand for the idealisms, the vital things in life, without which they are poor indeed. And there is no other Negro organization in existence that stands for the things, the idealisms in life, for which Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association stand. No other Negro has gained the confidence of the Negro masses as Marcus Garvey has gained it and made it a power for good for the white race. WEST INDIANS ALL COMING TO NEW YORK WHILE Secretary Davis of the Department of Labor, at Washington, and labor organizations and civic societies are urging more drastic restrictions of the immigration laws, which will be considered by the next Congress, all of the people of Europe who feel the heel of governmental oppression or economic distress are looking forward to a letting down of the bars that keep them out of the United States. The Jews are especially clamorous, as they are the most oppressed of the race, groups and nationals of European States, and powerful agencies are at work in this country to favor them, if possible, in the revision of the present immigration law. The distress of large masses of the European people, especially of the poorer groups, appeals to all that is best in us, but self-preservation is the first law of nature in the bread and butter question and the proper sort of government needed to protect that bread and butter from being reduced in quantity or quality. As long as the question of unemployment remains with us as it is with Europeans, as long as there are more mouths to feed than there is employment to supply the wherewith to feed the mouths, the demand for adequate immigration restrictions will remain as positive and insistent as it now is. The shifting of half a million Negroes from the Southern States during the past year, to meet the demand for labor more satisfying than the wages of labor in the Southern States, while working for a more equitable and satisfactory distribution of the Negro people throughout the country, all shows that the urge to better political and economic conditions by moving on is upon our group, in our own country, and for the same reasons that it is upon the race groups in Europe. There appears to be a widespread urge among West Indians to come to the United States, and for the same reasons that Europeans and members of our group in the Southern States are moved by, and the West Indian urge is beginning to attract unusual consideration of the thinkers of the islands. We gather as much from publications in the Barbados Weekly Herald the Port of Spain Gazette, the Dominica Guardian and the Barbados Standard. All of these newspapers are giving consideration to the disposition of the islanders to go to New York, for that is what it amounts to. It is estimated that some 5,000 have left Trinidad alone. The Barbados Weekly Herald sums up the situation as follows: We are very sensitive in Barbados over this question of emigration. It is perhaps regrettable that with the West Indies and British Guiana full of undeveloped resources it should be necessary for nationals to seek employment elsewhere. But people must eat. And it is unfair to expect all the self-sacrificing patriotism to be found in the poorer classes alone. If some of the people of these colonies, who have amassed such huge fortunes, were blessed with the smallest vestige of patriotism, enough money could be found without looking abroad to secure lucrative employment for as many people as the West Indies is likely to produce in another fifty years. But who is to blame the ambitious, but near destitute, emigrant who goes forth to find what he is not likely to find at home? We yield to no one in our understanding and appreciation of the excellencies of the British flag but we cannot shut our eyes to the fact that in the present state of affairs emigration to America is, indispensably, necessary to the West Indies. It is fair to the Gazette to state that the remedy it proposes is the adoption by the Government of means to encourage the young men to stay at home, and not the unwise course of endeavoring to prevent them from taking advantage of the superior opportunities which America undoubtedly offers. It is due to the West Indians in New York to say that they are trying to make the most of the economic opportunities they find in New York, and the other parts of the United States. They came to this country for the purpose of bettering their condition and they are doing it, for the most part. They have the disposition to combine among themselves for the accomplishment of social and business advantage and to pool their money and stand together in a helpful way, and are not afraid to trust any of their number who show capacity for management of their affairs of whatever sort. In all of this they have served as an inspiration and a hope to their American brethren, who have not generally the disposition to stand together and to trust to leadership of their own but they are fast learning, with the Universal Negro Improvement Association as a compact organization and Marcus Garvey as a self-centered and courageous leader as a rallying point and inspiration.

DISFRANCHISEMENT AND THE REMEDY THE Southern States disfranchise a large part of their citizenship "because of race, color and previous condition of servitude," although the Federal Constitution says that "no State shall" do it. Strangely enough the Federal Supreme Court says that it can be done and has sanctioned so much of it as has been appealed to it for judgment. Dr. DuBois insists in "The Crisis" that Southern "representation in Congress must be reduced," presumably because we are ruled and taxed without representation of our own by those who have disfranchised us and who benefit in the apportionment of representation in Congress by our numbers. But how will reduction of representation in Congress benefit us? We are first, of all "citizens of the United States and the States in which we reside." If Congress should enact a measure reducing Southern representation because of our disfranchisement, it would legalize the right of a State to disfranchise us, and the Supreme Court would very probably uphold such legislation. If it should do so, the right of any State, not only of the Southern States, would be affirmed, to do so. Do we want that? We think not. It was not intended by its promoters that a clause in the fourteenth amendment should be sufficient to nullify and make of no effect our right of suffrage by the action of any State or decision of the Federal Supreme Court, the fifteenth amendment making this mandatory in the following: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude." That is plain enough. If we insist upon Congress reducing representation because of our disfranchisement it will transfer our grant of the suffrage from the Federal Government and place it at the discretion of the several States. That will be dangerous for us. We had better let the matter stand where it is. We shall grow into the power to vote in the States where we are now deprived of the grant if the right of a State to disfranchise us be not authorized by the Congress and upheld by the Federal Supreme Court, while retaining the right in the States where there is now no dispute about the question, but which, if they had the power, might follow the example of the Southern States. It is to our best interests to let the Southern reduction of representation business alone. Time will remedy it. GROUP LEADERSHIP AND MASS ACTION MASS action with group leadership is an impossibility. At this time, in all parts of the globe, the Negro people are dominated by groups and group leadership. Strangely enough these groups, although they may have a common objective, and necessarily must have, appear incapable, as our church denominations are, to adopt any concerted policy for the common welfare. Each has its hobby, if we may call it such, and has no patience with the hobby of the other groups. Even when they affect to stand for interests that concern the race generally they do so as a group, dominated by group leadership, and they must necessarily be hampered in whatever they undertake to do. For example, can you imagine a race gathering which could harmonize its race policy and submit to a leadership composed of Kelly Miller, and his come-on Sanhedrin, Monroe Trotter and his Equal Rights League, DuBois and his Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Owen Randolph Philip Chandler with his Socialist Invisibles, Cyrilaughie. Briggs with his observant Blood Brotherhood—can you imagine these notable worthies, with delegates of their groups, getting together in one place and adopting a common policy and a common leadership for the good of the race? They might patch up a policy, but on the question of leadership they would burst wide open in the middle. "Twas ever thus from childhood's hour," or since the sword of Grant and the pen of Lincoln gave us the right to have groups and leadership of groups. Our esteemed contemporary, the Pittsburgh Americap, sees that there is something radically wrong with the situation. It says: Education continues to be the one big need of the Negro. Ignorance and suspicion are creatures of darkness. They are still instructions to the progress of the race in every community. NEWS NOTES OF INTEREST We have the literate ignorant and the illiterate ignorant impeding the forward movement of the race. Misunderstanding and intolerance are widening the gap, between the two groups. This gap must be closed to further the better interests of the Negro. (Lincoln Services) Dr. Urlah N. M. Murpay, brilliant colored physician of Boston, Mass., was one of the few successful candidates at the recent examination held for certificates granted to physicians and surgeon of this city. Dr. Murray cried second to the highest honor eligible, and by virtue of his certificate won in this examination is entitled to practice anywhere in the British Empire. He is a graduate of Loyola University Medical School and the Harvard School of Public Health. There is a growing disposition in nearly all organized bodies of the masses to decry the competent and intelligent men and women who display the least disposition to work and help. It is approaching the point of bitterness and persecution. This spirit cannot help, but it can impede the progress of the entire race. Some church, lodge and civic organization members fight bitterly any effort to recognize and advance the competent and intelligent of their membership. They appear to believe that education and competence are crimes and no member fitted by education and intelligence to lead and guide must be considered. These loyalty disorder and finally chaos in many of our Negro A tablet brought to light in removing the bones of Gen.

Saturday, 19TH JULY CHRISTMAS 1914 American Preparations Aide and Abroad British Imperialism It is no longer a truism that one half of the world dogs not know how the other lives. Steam and electricity combined with the grievances of modern civiliated life, have long relegated that dictum to the limbo of meaningless verbiage. I have been induced to make the foregoing remarks through reading a strange communication which appeared in the New York "Daily News" of October 29, under the caption, "African Natives, Garvey Victims, Scorn His Plans." This message, which purports to be a special radio to the "Daily News" dispatched from the British colony of Sierra Leone, West Africa, by Floyd Gibbons, opens with the starling announcement that "there are people in the world who do not want to be free." According to Floyd Gibbons more than a million such people live in Sierra Leone, a country almost as large as Ireland. In close proximity to the black Republic of Liberia, they nevertheless, famously accept taxation without representation. After telling us in one paragraph that these black British subjects have no say in the making, and enforcement; of the laws by which they are governed, this veracious newmonger proceeds to inform us in the very next paragraph that 'among them are college graduates, both men and women, engineers, editors, lawyers, doctors and—strange to say—judges concerning whose particular role in the economy, of government he has omitted to enlighten us. Paternal Albion! Again, although these complacencies helots of British West Africa "have no sympathetic interest in his (Garvey's) plans for a black steamship line"; nevertheless the same people "are anxious to know what to do about the alls of white paper they received in return for their money collected three years ago by Garvey's agents for the promotion of the Black Star Line." Moreover, a paternal British governing institutions of the welfare of these people "will maintain a close censorship on all Americans for colored people reaching Sierra Leone" to "prevent the saddening of more money" for "a black steamship line in which the Negroes of that country "have no sympathetic interest." The Real Sierra Leone I have no doubt that Floyd Gibbons will, in time, develop into a tolerable propagandist. In this instance he is but trying his 'prentice hand. His gucherle in the manipulation of data manufactured with the obvious purpose of discrediting Garveyism, disqualifies him as a competent student of Baron Munchausen. Truth to tell Floyd Gibbons knows as much about conditions in Sierra Leone as we do about the chemical composition of the coptoplasma of spiritualistic sources. Sierra Leone, enugolized by King Crown, is 'an ancient and loyal colony' in the intellectual centre where radiate the commercial, political and intellectual activities of British West Africa. Her sons and daughters are to be found in every habitable quarter of the globe, actively engaged in the pursuit of literature, literature, art and commerce. Her intelligent sons may be found in every walk of life, wherever the British flag flies among the West African littoral. We find them as competent engineers, civil as well as mining; as distinguished educators whose intellectual outlook is world-embracing; as learned engineers expounding a complex juridical system to the satisfaction of their fellow citizens, black and white; as medical men, administrating gelto to the suffering on the basis of scientific treatment; as leading commercial magnates, whose integrity and industry have earned for them a competence at which a Rockefeller would not sneeze. Among these师傅 would not be mentioned. Mr. Peter Thomas, a coat-black Negro whose multifarious activities give employment to black and white alike and, who as a distinguished member of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, faithfully interprets to the business world of Europe the needs and aspirations of commercial West Africa. Halcyon Days In the days of yore when British magnanimity knew no bounds, when the Englishman's word war his bond when British imperialism was a meaningless terminology and worth counted irrespective of creed, caste or color, the good people of Sirierre Lecone came by their own. Those were the halcyon days when the gifted Dr. Farrell Emmon, as principal medical officer, commanded the respectful obedience of his colleagues, black as well as white, in the African medical staff service. When he the arduite Surgeon-Major Davies leaves and elbow to the commissioned rank and elbow in West African army and his 'Western' African colleague, Surgeon-Major Horton published his monumental work on "Discases of the Tropics" which, for decader, was accounted a classic by the medical world. More malignant, nous ayons change toul cels. An Illustrious Brigand : The first serious break in the continuity of the enlightened policy that realized such happy results synchronized with the advent at the colonial office in Downing street, London; of the Rt. Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, the arch-appointed from the school of British republicanism. This statesman it was, publicly admonished the British people to "think imperially." He it was who inscribed the British people with the grounding idea of their "unemployed citizen" meaning the theory of Napoleon's vineyard on the African continent. Consistently with their previous doctrine, Chamberlain's treatment in Africa proceeded to lay foundations. In my last article I said the power and authority of the state is potential and for teaching—Since the state is the creator of the state, it must hold that the things created cannot be greater than its creator. Political freedom is a power formed in external limitations. It is constituted in the formal relations of the individual and the nation. Mr. Emerson says: "It is the largest liberty compatible with the liberty of every other man." "The government," says another eminent author, "is the representative of the will of the people as a moral person has its strength in the will. The strongest government in that which there is the higher assertions of人性; i.e. the realisation of the will of the people. The development of either the individual or the nation is in go for the condition of the higher development of the other that the ages of their higher development have become coincident." They become associated in the spirit of the people, in the life of the nation and the very name of its members, in whom there has been the higher personality, become the synonym of its strength. Thus, Dante becomes identified with Italy and his name becomes a sign of its national hope; and Shakespeare with England, and Luther with Germany, and in the struggle for national life their names become the symbols of national unity. The development of Negro citizenship in America has been considerably hindered, retarded, by the persistent, determined and bitter antagonism of an element in the body politic which has insistently and arbitrarily refused to acknowledge the right of the Negro to share in the benefits and responsibilities of citizenship, because of his race and color, and this is now one of the most, if not the most, vital questions to Negroes before the American people. Organized wrong and injustice is more openly arranged against us as a race than ever before, and only the feeblest efforts are being made by State and national governments to check these forces of civil and error in their declared purpose and studied plan to eliminate the Negro entirely as a full participant in the blessings and benefits of American citizenship. $ x - \sin x + y - 8 $ The denial of this right raises both a moral and a legal question about neither of which the agencies now bushy engaged in attempts to nullify his WAY OF THE WORLD WAY OF THE WORLD By N. G. G. T. Lloyd George. Welsh "wizard," politician extraordinary, is in the mighty main, homeward bound by his magnate-on the good ship Majestic.

Oh! What a grand thing it is to be a pleasant, plausible, eloquent hypothetie: Words. Words Sum up the message or appeal or blandishment, call it what, you will of His Majesty King George (Lloyd) in a few words, and here you have it "America and England alone can preserve civilization. By agreement not by alliance, by co-operation not by contract." Fiddlesticks Whenever a politician, especially one with the reputation of a Lloyd George, starts to make these nice distinctions in words, I get suspicious. Words, crafty words, spitting of hats are the weapons of the invigorer. The Thin End : But the gracious Lloyd made a great hit. There must be some entente, paradox me, an agreement, he says, between the two great English-speaking nations to reclaim humanity, and wicked, worthless Europe in particular. Some day, if he lives long enough, he will proclaim, America and England must stand together, joined by more than moral bends, brothers in arms. Just as Prussia and England stood shoulder to shoulder to check Napoleon, as France and England stood together to crush Landordef. The thin end of the wedge has been driven in. What's in a name?

To Be Continued. legal trial and right to citizenship are the last conceived, since they are accomplished by subtle and vicious propaganda and the economic club to reposition the role of Negro citizenship beyond the level of the running German mark. The question is framed with the greatest importance of the command force in this country, which is now a trial before the pathos of the world. The destiny of the Negro is the problem to be solved by the white man, not the Negro and the white man is going to try solve it, by declaring in favor of white supremacy on every foot of territory on this continent within the scope of his power and control. Nothing is so means more certain. The attitude showed the forces now secretly and opaibly engaged in undoing the work which was done fifty years ago which inspired the Negro with confidence and filled his soul with noble aspirations in a straw showing the direction of the wind, which is aimed to blow the Negro out of the running. An employment agent in a neighboring city told me a few days ago that he had a telephone call from a house wife, requesting him to send her a maid of all work, and that he sent a reliable and trustworthy colored woman to her. She was sent back as not wanted and told that "she would employ no Negroes. Jews or Catholics in her household." Has this an allusion? There are more ways to kill a cat than by stupping it with butter. The confidential printed circular, with its column of damaging statistics concerning the Negro and his social aspirations, is one of the weapons which is being used to poison the minds of white employers of domestics, and it is quite successfully used in rural sections, where it is quite easy to arouse the fears and suspicions of employers of domestics as to the reliability, honesty and morals of Negro employees. Tom dixon and his fellow conspirator, d. w. griffith, began with "The Birth of a Nation" to spread the poison openly, brazenly defiantly and maliciously. The K. K. K. is working under cover quietly, persistently, subtly to change American sentiment against the Negro and to make him more and more an alien, a soujourner and a stranger in the land watered by the sweat and drained by the blood of his forefathers for three centuries to minke the white man the power he intends to continue to be white old glory floats from the masthead. That's all. she must bid England cease oppressing the weak, turn from her lying and hypocrisy, from her thieving and robbery.

Let us read the newspapers Strange People All the way from across the Atlantic, from the western shores of Africa, one Floyd Gibbons, an Englishman, I have no doubt, radios the greatest United States newspapers telling America of a strange race of people in Africa, to wit, in Sierra Leone, who do not wish to be free, who just adore England and her methods, who the very name of Garvey and the I.A. and anything that makes for farcid redeemption. The radiogram arrived before Floyd George left these shores, because Garvey's case is still before the courts, and, doubles, more radiograms will come twinkt now and the time the appeal is heard. In this a foretaste of the agreement between England and America of which Floyd George speaks? I wonder. 135th ST.

Marcus Garvey has been criticized severely and his program ridiculed yet some, good things have been said about Marcus Garvey and many favorable comments have been made upon his idea of Negro progress. Some of the good things said about Marcus Garvey should interest readers. These things have been sold by some of the best and most intelligent members of the race in America. Marcus Garvey has been credited with awakening racial consciousness as no one has ever been able to do before; deepening racial pride; inspiring racial confidence; encouraging the instinct of self-help; encouraging racial unity and self- respect; quickening the courage and initiative instinct of the race and revealing the slumbering desire for self-government by Negroes. So much of his work. What of the man? Columns have been written about his work. Even his bitterest enemy must admit that it has been successful. He has inspired thousands. What of his spirit it occurred to the writer to seek a personal interview with Mr. Garvey during his recent engagement in Pittsburgh in order to give Pittsburgh American readers who have never met him an opportunity to learn something about the man from one who has met, conversed and studied him with no axes to grind. This article is the result of the writer's interest in Mr. Garvey—not Mr. Garvey's interest in publicity. Musa Psychology Mr. Garvey on the public platform always the masses because he understands mass psychology. He could not mobilize mass following otherwise. He has made the most complete, quantitative and quantitative analysis of the Negro of any leader who has ever stepped upon the public platform. This is proved by the fact that to has more followers than any one Negro has been able to marshal in the history of the race. This is certainly not an accident, and it is an important element of consideration in the study of the man. Our meeting was set for 10 o'clock in the morning. We met promptly. The simplicity of the man was evident in his greeting, personal appearance and speech. Nothlag about him indicated pomp, cermony, vanity, conceit, arrogance, or any of the other faults of human nature which have been charged to him. He gave me a firm and manly handshake and said how glad he was to see me. I said, "I want to get acquainted with you so that I may tell my readers something new and personal about you." Mr. Garvey replied, "I appreciate your in- jenset. Ask me whatever you wish and I shall reply, in the best way I can. It is interesting to note that although Mr. Garrigues' name was clean and diverse when he said this, his embarrassment was plainly visible. It would not have taken a scar to discover that this was a very novel experience for him. To the writer, his embarrassment was a plain indication of the modesty of the man. A Sound Plan It is the writer's belief that most people who have studied the Universal Negro Improvement Association with an impalpable eye have wondered if Mr. Garvey was sincere and, if so, what contributing cause or causes prompted him to inaugurate this movement. Many American Negroes looked upon the U. N. I. A. or "Back to Africa" movement as it has been called, as a huge joke. Its program seemed impractical. Mr. Garvey's calm and thoughtful explanation of his reasons for incorporating certain polioides into his plan left no doubt in the mind of this writer as to the basic soundness of the plan itself. When he was asked, "What inspired you to begin the Universal Negro Improvement Association," Mr. Garvey felt. "After reading widely and studying diligently, the thought perished that what my people needed the world over was an entirely new program. A plan original in design and modeled to fit the peculiar problems which confront our people the world over. Since this has always been my thought, originality is the basis of the U. N. I. A. I have endeavored, to inspire within my people the desire to create because I believe that our salvation will depend in a large measure upon their ability to make and carry out a plan that will fit their special needs as a race. Create. Not Imitate "This thought is constant with me, and when I read nothing interests me except as it bears upon my original idea of presenting to the world a new program. I want to be a creator rather than an imitator. The Negro has been an initiator so long that he has almost lost faith, racial consciousness. I was born in Jamaica and received my early training at St. George's College there. At the age of sixteen, I left my home and went to England. In 1914, the opening of the great world war, found me in England studying at Burke College of the University of London. During my stay there, I enjoyed the friendship and association of many broad and liberal statesmen, among whom was John Burns, the first labor member of the British cabinet. It was at this time that the idea became fixed within my mind that the black peoples of the earth would have to formulate their own plan and work out their own destiny. I returned to Jamaica and founded the U. N. I. A." Earnest and Sincere Earnest and sincere 'And when Mr. Garvey says, "Universal Negro Improvement Association," his voice has in it all of the love and fondness that a father displays when he speaks of his only child. His quiet, convincing and earnest manner would leave no doubt in the mind of an unprejudiced listener that this movement of his is very near to the heart of its creator. On the platform, Mr. Garvey is all action, the brilliant and convincing prator, the enthusiastic leader. In the quiet of his home, he is the eerie and thoughtful student of men and affairs viewing with calm deliberation the many problems confronting his race and discussing dispassionately and critically his efforts to find a solution for those problems. Mr. Garvey went on in a reminiscence tone of voice, "Of course, our movement has had its failures as well as its successes. The fact that we have launched an entirely new programme means that we shall have made some errors before our plan is perfected. It is no easy task to link the members of our race together and educate them to think for themselves. My inspiration has been a desire to see our men and women become socially and economically independent, so that they might command the respect of other races. Many of the humiliations that the Negro suffers are a direct result of economic dependence. Realizing this, I have put the greatest emphasis upon the necessity of the Negro creating and maintaining something of a substantial and permanent nature which shall be purely his own. Success Sure "Because of this desire and aim I have been called prejudiced. My enemies have based many of their unjustifiable attacks upon this one part of my program. There is no absolute solution of any human problem. No one organization at this time can solve the Negro problem any more than one organization can solve all of the problems of the white race. We have many organizations and most of them have some good in them. The very fact that we have many organizations shows that the Negro, is not asleep and makes it seem more certain that something will be done some time. 'One organization may be doing a particular good along one line; another performing special service along an entirely different line. This fact, some leaders have never seemed able to see or willing to admit. I have not wish to put the final stamp of disapproval and condemnation upon any movement which aims to uplift and batter the condition of my people and encourage racial unity. I am not intolerant; I do not believe that the U. N. I. A. has or is obsolete upon all that is helpful and wise in solving this great problem which confronts us, but when I am attacked, I must of necessity believe myself and my movement. I believe in the program of our organization. and have also done some work in protecting it. I have interviewed some of the people I met with some years ago during imprisonment. I have seen one then take into consideration the mistakes that they have made and what comes are pleased to call the imperfections of his program." There is no doubt to me what the Delaware is the New York state and among the New Jersey and Arkansas the word. This question of an early death, the sounder and more practical policies of the movement are destined to take a farmer hold upon the Negro race as time goes on. & Mr. Garvey's personal impression upon me was good. There is nothing in his department to give to one the disagreeable and contemptuous feeling that one often feels after having come in contact with the near-great, the man who feels important and who by his pompous manager seeks to improve you with it. Nothing he said or did during our interview left a disagreeable impression. His sincere and simple manner perhaps explains in what why Mr. Garvey has such a large following. He seemed to be broad-minded, sympathetic, firm in his convictions and not easily discouraged. Open-Minded A very noticeable and remarkable thing about Mr. Garvey is the absence of bitterness toward those who have opposed him. His words and attitudes are respectful and commendable. He says nothing to disapare or cast personal reflection upon his enemies. He stuck to issues and avoided discussing persons. He even picked out the good in other organizations and showed the possible benefits to the race from certain lines of activity by some organizations whose officials have opposed him bitterly and ridiculed his program upon every possible occasion. His very open-mindedness makes him formidable to his enemies because a man of this type will certainly grow. The Need It is expected to me during my interview with Mr. Garvey that the reason many of our most intelligent people decry his program is because they have failed to acquaint themselves with it in its entirety. The basic idea of the Universal Negro Improvement Association should appeal as strongly to the most favored class of Negroes in America as it does to the mass. It is reasonable to believe that if the educated Negroes of this country would help to work out some plan that will harness up and put into action the great force which lies dormant within the ignorant, the untrained members of our race, we will solve our own race problem. Mr. Garvey has the people. What he needs is more men of his degree of intelligence to help put over and perfect his program. A Prediction Intelligent and trained leadership is essential to success in any effort at race advancement or uplift, but intelligence must have something to lead before it can do any work for the progress of the race. In the same way, the masses of the race can get nowhere without the sympathy, co-operation and leadership of the educated and trained members of the race. The U. N. I. A. is growing daily and, somewhere down the road, the higher type of Negro leaders in America will be compelled to seek a basis of co-operation with the leaders of the Garvey movement. If they do not, they will have no work to do because the mass of Negroes are likely to be swayed by the program of the U. N. I. A. or some similar organization. Represents the Masses Marcus Garvey has the following and it is growing every day. The majority of his critics have no following. Whatever his appeal may be, the fact remains that he attracts more attention and draws a larger crowd than any Negro on the public platform in America. We are all agreed that the masses of our people really need improvement and intelligent leadership to guide and direct them. The U. N. I. A. represents the Negro race because it represents the masses. The salvation of the race lies right within that great crowd. They are crying for mental, social and economic freedom. The U. N. I. A. is a manifestation of this great longing. The U. N. I. A. needs the cooperation of those who have been fighting it. Those who have been fighting the U. N. I. A. need its cooperation if they ever hope to work effectively.

It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success. The prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview of the subject, made the astonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are in danger of being trouble is so common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applications are not expected that they have the disease.

When Woodrow Wilson spins the biography of "self-intervention" and "make the world safe for democracy" he arounds the passions of compassion humanity everywhere and they are defending that those sacred pleasures to the world be kept now. And now, we repeat, why is it that the empires on which the proud Englishman justly boasts "the sun never sets" is slowly but surely tottering? The answer to such a question lies in the fact that the world is unhinging in a new order of things, which will be built on the rules of the old, therefore, the entire structure of the old must precede the advent of the new. As we turn back, looking down through the pages of history, we find that, ever since the British nation hovered in sight as a world power, her statesman have laid down "divide-and-rule" as the policy of their country. They have played rival nations against each other, thereby retaining to herself what is commonly called the "balance of power." By such a method has she maintained her position as the super-nation of the world. The world war, leaving France with the greatest military machinery in peace time, has altered the situation in Europe. She (France) has been belting the continent with a ring of armed states, including Poland and the "Little Entent," a large army in the Ruhr and Rhineland, not to mention the great air forces which could destroy London in twenty-four hours. In such a situation as this Great Britain stands with the two nations reaching at each other's throat. Losing Prestige She finds herself and her voice with little or no influence whatever, and it would seem to me as if to crown the diplomatic failure with consummate defeat. France, under Poincaré, is attempting to present her with an accomplished fact of a Rhineland republic. Clemenceau fought hard at Versailles to have the French frontier extended to the Rhine. He lost, but Poincaré has taken up the fight where he left off and is carrying it to completion by other methods. Will the onrushing march of world events affect us Negroes? If so, how? At the present time no one can give the answer. Time alone will tell. Yes, will tell, if we possess the stamina and acumen of which great races and nations are made. In the meantime, we should work hard to reach our goal, for we may be on the threshold of the Negro's emancipation. Who can tell? Organize and wait. A. 633-East 51th Street, Cincinnati, Ohio.

I tried remedy after remedy, but such relief as I obtained was only temporary. Finally, I found a treatment that cured me completely and such a pitiful condition has never returned. I have given it to a number who were terribly afflicted, even bedridden, some of them seventy to eighty years old, and the results were the same as in my own case.

MEN AND STORY Some Books and Some Phrases Why Every Person Should Read Them If not present once one has the pleasure of following one after the other for复习 in the same week two such interesting books of "Unconquered Abyssinia in It Is Today," by Charles K. Hear, and the "Conquest of Coomassie," an epic of the Mashanti nation, by Mr. A. P. Byer (Alderbaran), just off the press of the Worth While Publishing Company, of, Long Beach, California. Both books are particularly interesting to the Negro. The "Conquest of Coomassie" should find a place in the house of every person who is interested in the literature by the race, on the past achievement and grandeur of ancient Ethiopia and the "Mighty Men of Addisheba line." What do most of us know of *Abyssinia* or *Cosmoseia*? Those of us who have read anything of *Abyssinia* know, among other things, that the mails of the mobs played on the dulcimer at some date unspecified, and that the mobs, but no long ago, defeated the Babylon army—the soldiers of one of the few great powers of the earth today, at Abomei. The author of, "Abyssinia Today," is an Abyssinian, and of all nations the English is least likely to attach signi- papage to the distinction of an ex- peditionary force of white men in dis- tinction mountains. It has suffered the the old ottoman and at the hands of men of darker haze. "Adowa, therefore, would not refuse to put the Abyssinians except from other African peoples as a means to be reckoned with. The first new pages of Mr. Rey's book, however, prove that they are a virile race and show that the native African can, with the own resources and governed, by himself, achieve what other races have done. Adowa was not the accident the average white man regards, and for this reason it does not stand out as an unqualified achievement in Abyssinian history. For the Abyssinians have a history; a history in which a long succession of public events is established, connected, and -recorded. Abyssinia, an African country that is independent today, was "powerful when the Book of Genesis was written" and, what is more significant still, "it was Christian when the white man still worshiped Thor and Odin." The theme is a great one and the author has risen to it. It is tempting to dwell on the early history in the pictorial legendary form in which it is illustrated by *Abyssinian*. They admit to some little doubt about the name of their first king; it was either *Orl* or *Aram*. He was one of the thirty-five of Adam. By 1000 B. C. we are on our ground. The name of the queen of that day was Makeda. She was the Queen of Sheba who visited Solomon, and she returned with a son, Menelik is the founder of the dynasty now on the throne. A genealogical tree that the antiquity no white reigning house, from the few that remain of them, can point to. Christianity, admittedly established by the fourth century, is said to have been adopted during the childhood of Christ by divine inspiration and without the aid of any missionaries. No missionary, says the author, has convinced the Abyssinianians that he had much to teach. They are as tonacious of their faith, the monophylla, as of their political independence, and in due course they repudiated a religious invasion of the Roman Catholics as they repudiated, after a desperate struggle, the Mohammedans, in the sixteenth century. The Abyssinian, then, has always succeeded in protecting his institutions against foreign attack. He lives in a mountainous country which lends itself to defense by a race of warriors. We learn, therefore, and with some gratification, that in Abyssinia, "the country belongs to the native; he is the dog-bop; all power is in his hands; the white man is an immigrant" and for reasons given, not highly thought of, at that. The Abyssinian, the author tells us, has remained African in many things. He presents various aspects modern, feudal, and primitive. But the outstanding feature of the book is the lesson it brings to the western Negro, viz.: that the native African is not what he is generally imagined to be. That, with organization and leadership, he can do great things, and that, as in the past, they could govern themselves and are still doing so, as in the case of Abyssinia, the future of a free and redeemed Africa is not so much of a Utopian dream after all. CONQUEST OF COOMASBLE The "Conquest of Coomassile," says George G. Grant, in the preface to the book, "challenges the western civilization; reveals its paucity of purpose; and prophesies its downfall. . . ." Affording the basis for a deeper self-respect, which will command the respect of others, the book fills a long-want; and its beauty, its imagery, its magnificent harmony, together with its freedom from mechanical jarr, stamps it on the epic of the century." There is no doubt about it that the author of this the finest epic by a Negro that we have had the privilege of reading, has handed his subject with remarkable understanding. He has succeeded in getting into stirring stately meter and manuminted outfitting of a son of freedom in brave, industrious and productive people. He has combined skills with intelligence and those of his own something of the history of the American, their skill and in war, their diplomacy and their power of strength and expedition, their power of intelligence and expedition, which has been the most fortunate of all the Great Books in which of nine time almost played them as the master of the whole Madhani country and queen. The epic tales of their lakht King, Pramoya, who was treacherously taken by the British on the 15th of July, 1900, and called, bringing to a close the history of the Ashtani (or Madhani), as an independent African nation. It was but the Russ of the dread Crimes. It was not the Dans from the frozen set: Not the dark-haired Frank, nor arrogant Boor That bristled the mane of the Lion o'er. That ruffed his Pride and brought him to bay And challenged his right to the king's highway. From Africa's embattled jungle-fief, Came the bold defn of Coomarsie's Chief: King - Prempey, chief of a war-like tribe. Had scorned the proffer of England's bribe: He would not barter Mashanti Land To the White King's mercenary land And the story goes on to tell that, although he knew the might of the British and the prowess of their fighting men, King Prempey marshalled his brave black men and led them forth against the pick of the British. 'The story that Prempey told his men is depicted in beautiful English, at times so picturesque descriptive, at others so airing, as to make the senses thrill with emotion at the appeal of a strong but simple soul. And when he told them of all that their ancestors had fought and died for, of the mighty kingdom they had built, of how the labored earth gave up her gold, for choicest gems, of worth untold, of her beautiful women "gorgeous as a day new-born," he appealed to their manhood thus: Ye men of Ethiop's lineage true. Who dwell 'neath Africa's skies of blue. Where balmy sunshine fills the air With tropic-scented perfumes rare! You till this verdant, fecund soil. As free man life, an free man toil. In thankfulness for heaven's down. That joys our land with fruit and flowr. Your father's gods gave you this land; And shall you not with mighty hand Redeem the heritage they gave; Or fill a patriot-warrior's grave? Arm. Afric's mon: For-freedom light; For know you battle for the right; And if you fall in Freedom's name? You'll reap a warrior's deathless fame. And children's children shall behold. Your deeds in shining letters told. And in the same stately measure both as to content and as to form the post tells the tale. It has been said that like the Jew, the Negro is a remarkable people in that their prayers are logic and their songs are philosophy. In Mr. Byer, we have a Negro poet in whom this blending is peculiarly evident. His philosophic tendency reaches its highest degree in this marvelous masterpiece which cannot fall to appeal and awake a responsive chord in the breast of every colored man in any part of the habitable globe in which the blood of African flows. Exited 'mongs: stranger peoples now. Their proud sons to injustice bow. And bigot men who dread their power Oppress them in their fallen hour. The charlots of the mighty now Ride high over Ethiop's prostrate brow; And clouds of darkness compass them. And dwelling by the tents of Shem. With bodies wet with heaven's dew. They drink the gall and bitter rue. For centuries you've borne the cross, For Christian nations, reaping drowsy; For centuries their thorny crown Your torn and bleeding, brow pressed down, And nails of impckery and pride Have Christians driven in your side. But, like a great refining fire, Purges the gold from filth and mire; Thy chastened soul, O Bishop great! Undmended by their amptious hate, Shall in their creoset-glory rise, Resplendent on the starry skies, And burning like a meteor's glare Shall write thy nation's glory there. The epic contains some profoundly beautiful lyrics, and I quote this as a splendid example. The poem is pa- dionate in its expression of the mast- ical love of man who is overwhelmed by the omnipotence and infinite mercy of his God. Ecstatic, super-rational is the love expressed in these lines: God of our land, Thee we adore! God of our land Bundu Ka-Gore Thine ancient rites Great Ethiop knew 'Ere Moussa's aire The vulture slew! Now hear us call! Prostrate we fall! Sakro—Bundu! God of us all. The Sakro-Bundu, it may be here explained, is an African secret order whose origin is lost in antiquity. Its obligations are so binding that no European has been able to learn any of its secrets. It is a semi-religious, civilic order similar to the Ancient Order of Free and Accepted Masons. The power it wields in civic, economic, moral and national affairs is dreaded even by Europeans. So much for this epic. We confess it has given us a thrill of racial pride and to members of the U. N. I. A. particularly there runs an appeal, a hope and a promise; and even though in the port's heart there, at times seems to dwell a feeling of weariness and despair that too long the Lord has left unprotected the prince in the midst. By JAMES O'MEALLY While I am actively engaged and am devoting my time and energy to the uplifting of my group, still I am interested in any reform movement which will improve morally, intellectually, physically and economically the human race. Hence, I was particularly interested in the lecture given by Mr. Edward Morrell on "New Era Penology." Three years ago, in a debate at the Y. M. C. A., I defended the advocates of the abolition of capital punishment and the institution of a more humane system of treating our criminals, but at that time my interest in the subject was merely academic. In fact, I was not even very much interested in racial matters. The vision had not yet come. Can crime be prevented? What is the best method of decreasing the volume of crime and treating criminals? Would society benefit by the a-lition of capital punishment? In spite of all the attention given to these questions, crime still remains one of the most populating and obnivilate of social problems. The subject is too important to be properly dealt with lightly. The subject is one which should interest every citizen because of the large amounts of money spent each year on our prisons and in the conviction of men who violate the laws, as well as from a humanitarian standpoint. Some people believe that harsher methods of dealing with offenders against the law should be adopted and that punishment alone will prevent crime. One thing is certain, however, and that is, punishment alone cannot end crime; it may partially check it; neither can punishment transform criminals into honest citizens. In fact, punishment is really to satisfy public justice upon those who violate the law. Improved economic conditions tend toward the lessening of crime, but since the rich as well as the poor are addicted to crime this of itself cannot be the remedy. Speaking personally, I believe that swift and contigent punishment does act as a wonderful deterrent. I am forced to this conclusion by observations and comparisons made during my soljour in foreign lands and in my own country. I have observed in the Latin-American republics, where the law is slow and lax, especially in offences committed against the person, that crimes of this class are very prevalent, and the mild punishment meted out to offenders seems in no way to act as a deterrent. There are those who, perhaps, would attribute the frequency of such crimes to race—hot Latin blood—but it is worthy of note that the West Indians, living in these countries, appeal more readily to the violent method of settling their affairs, where the punishment is slight and the prison a comfortable place to live in than in the British West Indies, where punishment is swift and the prison anything but a comfortable place of abode. In general, then, we may take it for granted that the moment a prison is made a comfortable place to live in it becomes useless as a safeguard against the criminal. In the case of capital punishment some people hold that it is wrong and serves no useful purpose for the State to take life by legal process, since the execution of a murderer does not restore the victim of the tragedy to the family and contributes nothing to the support of the needy dependents who must eventually become a charge upon the State. They claim that provision should be made so that the murderer would be compelled by his toil in prison to support the relatives of the deceased. While there are many good points in the scheme outlined above, in that it provides for the support of the relatives of the murdered, and is humanitarian in its outlook, I do not believe that the number of homicidal cases would decrease, but would rather increase. The advocates of the abolition of capital punishment have to face this fact; that, in England, where the murderer is quickly tried and sent to the gallows, the number of homicide cases in comparison with that of other countries is remarkably low. The French, after abolishing capital punishment, became alarmed at the increase in the number of murders committed and were compelled to revert to the guillotine; since then, it appears that there has been a decrease in such offenses. For the present, therefore, while I am in favor of reform methods, I cannot advocate the abolition of capital punishment. * Some of the measures which I think would go toward reducing crime and reclaiming those not too far steeped in crime are: More tenency, toward first offenders in trivial offences; the reformation of those who, through peculiar circumstances, have committed a crime and who, although not properly fitted to be useful members of the community, could, in the opinion of the experts in criminology, with proper training be made useful members of the social group; the complete and permanent isolation and detention and also the sterilizing of hardened criminals and mental defectives; the abolishing in America of politics and party interests in the police force, and better discipline; one standard of justice for rich and poor alike; better economic conditions and environments for the poorer classes. hands." Nevertheless, it strikes a fundamental chord in the human heart that vibrates in an appeal to the Negro to prosec on more closely in the race the Negro has been guilty of. And musical evidence, the Conquest of Coomassi's calls to every Negro, Go, get the book you'll find you need it: read when you're got it. Read it! — ROBERT K. BY G. EMONEI CARTER (Consolidated next issue) Subject: "An old Persian law operant still." Text: "None might enter into the king's gate cloaked with sackcloth." II. This old law of the Persian deserts illustrates "A Refusal to_Contemplate the Dark Side of Life." Ahasnerus does not want his peace of mind to be disturbed. He deprecates an awakened conscience. All that betokens the dark side of life must be rigorously excluded. He will not see the gray side in life's sky, only the ruddy glow, the luscious artistry. No sorrowing figure shall shadow his gaily tessellated floor. "None might enter into the kings' kate clothed with sackcloth." What a mad policy! Yet it is the Policy of many in our day. Full many refuse to contemplate the dark side of life. They dread to study sorrow. Some will not consider their own personal drawbooks. It is the old Persian fallacy repeated. There are those who will never face dark facts. No sackcloth for them! A large augmentation of the world's brief springs from this course. Trouble contemplated may be trouble diminished. A man's health is unsatisfactory. Ugly symptoms speak, but he will not listen. It is naught, he says. Why not take medical advice? Know the worst if it be a worst. But, not! No sight of sackcloth for me, he cries. And too late he realizes his mistake. A man's business is a worry. Things have been going wrong for some time. Why not face the situation? Why not check the downward course at once? No. He does not like to face matters. He drears those tell-tale hedges. Arrive sackclothed figure! he cries. And crat-while he is a ruined man. A man's character is deteriorating. His soul is wrong. He does not like to own it. He hides it from himself and others. He degrades himself self-examination. His religious zeal has cooled. His temper gets the better of him continually. 'The love of money grips him more and more. Strong drifting mercuriously overpowers him. But he refuses to contemplate his condition. O man, behold the sackbath!' We are foolish as the Persian kings. If we exclude from our view the dark side of life and character. (b) Some will not contemplate the disadvantages of others. I am sure you scorn Ahasuerus. You say he was a puppet, and not a king to ban the entry of those who were clothed in sackcloth; you doem it inhuman to have shunt the royal gate upon them. Yes. But we are apt to do the same. "One half the world does not know how the other half it is," yet it ought to know. I beg you do not refuse to let the sack-clothed within your gate. Center, plate the dark side of life. Surely, for example, the world's poverty. It is a dismal spectacle. Fell, lothsome, rotten poverty. Did God ever intend such poverty in a Christian land? Earl Shaft: note years ago: "The poor shall never cease out of the land that we know; but the poor of London are very far different from the poor of the Scripture. God contenness" poverty, but Ho Ha: ordained in a Christian land an overwhelming mass of foul, helpless, severity. We must face such poverty, arrest not until it is relieved. Ignorance, sickness, death, wickedness must all be considered thoughtfully." This refusal to behold the dark side of life is a bar to a useful effect. They who would 'good physfelsians must diagnose many a loathsome disease. The great philanthropists and reformers first contemplated the sack-clothed at their gate. This refusal to note the dark facts of life is ineffectual to remove those dark faits. Poverty, sorrow, vice, death, exist whether we face them or no. We miss an educative influence when we are denying ourselves the sight of sick-clothed figures. The dark aspect of life is a great teacher. Life's paths and tragedy is life's culture. The sad side of life has inspired the noblest literature. Dante's "Inferno" is greater than his "Paradise." Milton succeeded wordlessly with "Paradise Lost," and comparatively failed with "Paradise Regained." The finest art has represented the dark side of things rather than their bright side. Are not the sad books of the Scripture the richest? You cannot be all a true man of woman ought without the disciplinary influence of a study of the dark things of this so shadowed world. Refusal to study life's dreary elements will not give us escape from responsibility. God has told us how sternly He will deal with those who say, "I knew it not." concerning the troubled ones around them. Job declared that the cause he knew not he searched out. That is the noble policy. We can by no means shuffle out of our own responsibility towards those who are clothed with sackcloth. If we shut our eyes to the world's sorrow, God will send the bill to us. III. The old Persian represents a Policy of Selfshness. "None might enter the king's gate clothed with sackcloth." How utterly solitist? So long as he could live a life of comfort the king cared not for the trouble that begomed his empire. He is so given up to self that no sable-clad man must appear in his court. selfishness is very ancient and very modern. All this, secluding ourselves from out of sight of the world's sin and grief is rank selfishness. So long as we are at ease and quiet we hardly give a thought to the "sad music of humanity" in any of its "wailing minors, discords strong." Beware of exclusive selfishness. If the Christ had held aloft from the sinful world where would have been the world today? In unselfishness service for a needy world our Divine Redeemer "Let us an example that we should follow to his name." He hadn't "hit," he told me, but his clear, friendly eye flashed everything but envy. We were boys together, and thirty years had gone since we met. The berths were made down and the Runt stopped a while in the smoker to talk old times with me. No, he hadn't "hit." He repeated it, but he had kept a line on the boys, he said, as his face lighted up, and he was proud that many of them had done things in the world of endeavor. When Skimny Jackson wrote his musical comedy he laid over in New York and bought a seat in the front row to witness Skimny's triumph. And he reviewed the careers of Piggie Jones, Swagger Petworth, Millie Mays and Sallie Watson, who were genuine bigwigs in the race's doings. "I meet them now and then," he said. "Some of them are glad to see me, and some of them are not, but if they happen to be on my car I always pick the best linen for their berths and give an extra whine to their shoes. It's a homely little tribute I love to pay to days departed. Dobbie Wilson was on here last week, going to some conference. He's a big lawyer now out in Cleveland. He tossed me two bits when I brushed him off. I put it in the "has been" fund, where all of such tips find their way. Somehow I can't spend the cash of my old friends in the regular way. "I reckon the fates are against me," the Runt continued. "I just couldn't hit, I've been to, the bat many a time, but I either built, you! or strike out. You know I was never smart in school. I had a barbershop down at Ithaca, but the Dagos opened a tonoril parlor in that town and got most of the students' trade. And then I started running on the road and have been here ever since—twenty-eight years. Time goes on whether you do or not." The passengers hiel zone to bed and, after taking several heavy drafts on my pipe I remembered. Mary Masterson, with whom the "Runt" used to attend parties and two-step in the old days. Mary was brown, with beautiful hair and skin like polished bronze. At school she insisted upon writing her name "Marie." "Runt," I said, thoughtfully, "What became of Mary?" "Mary Masterson that used to be. Oh, she's at home. We live at Syracuse, you know. Got a comfortable place out on Onondaga Lake. If it wasn't so late when we get to Syracuse she'd be down to the train. I felt like a criminal when I asked her to marry me, but I couldn't let you follow take Mary like you had taken everything else in my life. She's had faith in me all along and that's the reason I regret that I have never hit. It's tough for a girl like Mary to be tied up to a Pullman porter, when she might have had a live one—a lawyer or a doctor or something. "Come near losing her when Jim, our oldest boy, died. Promising youngster graduated from Cornell—killed in France Armistice Day. His mother put her hopes in Jim and she moped around for a long while when he died. But she taken on new life now—finding something to interest her. The next boy, Frank, graduates in law at Harvard in June, and my baby girl, Nellie, goes to Willberforce the year. Thought I wanted one of my children to attend a Neuro school to get a broader view of life. "Yes, Mary's well. She is going out to Willberforce so she can be near the kid and look after her while she is in school. She said maybe she'd take a wack at that Domestic Science stuff out there, since she'd be doing nothing." Humph! Jim from Cornell, Frank in Harvard, Nellie at Willberforce; "I'll miss Mary right, smart, too," the Runt resumed. "She is a great cook, I'll tell you, and when I get home off the road we have some great times. Then, she always collected the rents. Now I'll have to turn this over to a real estate firm." "What rents?" "Oh, I thought I told you that we've got an apartment house in Syracuse. Pretty good place, too. Four street business stores—and, of course, I haven't hit—" "Haven't hit!" I couldn't stand any more of Runt's blues. "Cut that 'haven't hit' stuff! Bald Ruth's a piker beside you, Runt, you demmed imposter!"

A. "The difference between men who succeed and men who fail is that the men who succeed use all their power, the men who fail don't," said Prof. W.J. Ferrie, in one of his illuminating lectures at a meeting of the New York Local of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. One need not agree with Mr. Ferris as to the reason why men "fall in order to agree with him that success requires the use of all the power of which anyone is capable. Falling to use all one's power, man is but a mere weather, vane, pointing to no one course, yielding supinely to pressure. So much has been written and talked about men and women credited as successful in all pursuits of life, that aspiring young men and women have been trying to find out from among the various reasons given one standard or a set rule conforming to which the chances for success will be certain. Education The writer has an abiding faith in education, and it is because the men and women who have and still are contributing to progress are educated. Their developed minds, ploughed by constructive thinking, discover the inner self, the driving force distinct from the physical body. This is the key which opens the door to success and by its inherent qualities fits the character to withstand the strain on the way to the desired goal. True learning is then the power to understand and the ability to adjust the individual, with the least friction to his various mental vagaries, to engage in new work optimistically, to enter new enterprises with self-assurance; to realize that time is an arbor that holds the scales of justice evenly. In short, "Know Thyself." Environment This is the age of material advancement and conditional service. Men and women are concerned with the quantity of their possible attainments, in that their acceptance in the world depends upon their wealth, position and influence. Bringing into play all the power to achieve results is a great factor in the seeming unrest of our times. The changes represent the will in action, sereching and applying principles, methods, plans, discoveries to determine beyond a doubt where success lies in its relation to the individual and the elements that compose him as a rational being, swayed by all the great issues which engaged the attention of man from time far distant. Whatever may be the hopes or aspirations of those who would achieve success, it is a basic principle that the mind should become the guide and mental free-lom the executive that assists at all times. The senses and their impulse must be held in check that the hurry and bustle of life, together with the exacting cares and duties, clashing ambitions, cross purposes and antagonistic interests may not sway the issue or detract from the course mapped out. The cheating will 'o' the wisps, the over-valued pleasures indulged in too often destroy the capacity for enjoyment, the immediate speculations that look more timely than the real investments of the future must be shunned. Personality Success itself is not reducible to a given denition, it is like the chameleon taking its quality (color) from the character of the individual in contact with it. The genius, talent, intuition, will, strength, courage, together with the possibilities in the enterprise engaged in, receives popular assent as representing success. Men and women create themselves successes by force, by appeal, by will; also through service and vision to interpret the subconscious needs of great groups of people. The intentness with which they pursue an ideal, the steadfastness in their purpose, the zeal with which they grapple with burdens, their knowledge in knowing when they want and how they intend to get it, their unrelenting and persistent efforts always in the same direction, are the steps taken to achieve results. Personality as a means to success is an aid in that sweet whisomence that makes a young lady the center of attraction at social gatherings; it gives to men that helpfulness which makes them welcome guests in any home and the directors of the affair of others. Guide to Success We achieve success a necessary requirement is to understand the fundamental laws that guide to success and in themselves become positive attributes of success. Thought is essential, for without the constant application of definite ideas aimed, at the accomplishment of success, the distance to be covered appears more than human endurance can stand. The mind is first focused, on ideas and ideals that have a stimulating effect on the body; the mind is placed in command directing the performance of an act or duty. Words that are inherently powerful form the foundation on which the building success is to be erected by an object that represents the thought in eminence. The cumulative effect of these constant repetitions—ideas, ideals, powerful words, the creation of an enterprise, the pursuit of a purpose, the assimilation of everything, toward and tending to bring about the reality of the object in view—gradually change the situation to your liking, the actual use of forces at your disposal and in which you have supreme confidence, upon the psychic life to the seeker. A calm security, poise and power emanate from the individual at this point. Kava of Power In this campaign as you hurt defiantly the great blows destined to insure the success you attempt to attain, Faith and Hope must be to your realities that will sustain your assault under the most crucial tests. Energy and Determination assist your attitude in being ever on the alert to do and to dare. Cournage and Enthusiasm help to overcome the hardships found in the way of overcoming physical fatigue, Confidence and Inspiration in the forces within you make for sustained effort. Work as a master of some gainful occupation. Practice thrift as a necessity. Look the world squarely in the eye and stand firm to every wind that blows. Always deliver the goods. Whenever you strike, strike hard. Perfect physical sight, good mental understanding, love and honesty, backing up the use of all your power, make success reasonable. Successful Organizations Successful Organizations The Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Community League, of which you are a member, by and through the use of these powers in the men and women that direct their affairs, stand on basic principles and are making good use of the fundamental laws of success herein outlined. Attendance at meetings and lectures will put you more in touch with forwardlooking officers who will be initiative and example suggest your progress and the way to attain it. In overcoming barriers or handicaps the laws that fit the particular case or situation are applied. In the unusual cases that may arise the whole battery of laws plus the successful dominant personality sweeps a clear path to an objective thunderdisputed hero. The reward from the labor expended will make more successful men and women who use all their power, and by the very nature of the thing itself "nothing succeeds like success." Texas cotton fields are in need of pickers, according to officials of employment. bureaues who assert that the demand is far greater than the supply. Unwillingness to work for the wages offered is causing the shortage. It is said. Between 200 and 300 laborers are going into Dallas daily. It is said, and employment agencies are experiencing great difficulty in placing them in jobs because of wages demanded. I Will Credit You It Matters Not Where You Live D.

Hair Seed Magic Wonder Hair Grower $500 Reward If I Fail to Grow Hair Tells of His Harrowing Experiences Behind Prison Bars — Says Prison Are Hotbeds of Crime, Disease and Debanchery On Sunday evening, October 28, the members and friends of the New York local were invited to listen to a year interpreting and instructive lecture by Mr. Edward Morrell on "New Era Penology." The chair was taken by Mr. James O'Meally. Among those on the platform were Mr. G. Emomel Carter, first vice-president of the New York local; Rev. Davy Said chapain of the American Crusaders, Inc.; Mr. Gimbel, secretary, and Dr. Raymond Ward, treasurer. The meeting was called to order at 3:30 and was opened with the singing of "From Greenland's Ice Mountains" followed by prayer by the Rev. Davis. The chairman made a brief address in which he welcomed the visitors to Liberty Hall and reminded the audience that it was their duty to pay careful attention to what the speakers had to say, as they may have to make use of some of the methods advocated here in dealing with the criminal element when the U. N. L. A. had established its government in Africa. Mr. Carter was then called upon to introduce the field chaplain who would in turn present the speaker of the evening. Mr. Morrell. Mr. Carter in his usual forceful manner assured the visitors that they would find a different type of Negroes in the U. N. I. A. from that which they were accustomed to see. "The Negroes continued the speaker, "In this association are men who have ceased to lean on the white man for support and believe in doing things for themselves, therefore, there was no need for the visitors to throw out any of the usual stuff generally handed down to Negroes." Dr. Davis was then presented and soon captured the audience by his striking personality and forceful manner of address. He said in part: "I admire the members of the association, because they believe in self-help and that is the only If You Were LUCKY, HAPPY TELL YOUR SECRETS Happy in Friendship SPELLS OF ALL KINDS R Medical Preparations for Cm LOVE APPLES I High John the Conquer All kinds of highly appreciated roots and CASH OR I Will Credit You It Matt D.

Liberty will not come to you for the many angry, rather can you be for it; liberty comes to those only who seek it, so if you want liberty—go get it!" "Mr. Morsell was then introduced to the audience by Rev. Davis. A great deal of interest was shown in Mr. Morsell. Every one wanted to get a glimpse of the man who had passed through five years of the cruisest torture that any prison could inflict. He was sentenced to life imprisonment when seriously more than a boy for being a member of the famous band or California outlaws formed as an aftermath of troubles between the settlers of the Mussell Slough and the Southern Pacific Railroad of California. Mr. Morrell's Address Mr. Morrell spoke with the eloquence of a man who has suffered and with the practical knowledge of how the criminal feels, thinks and suffers. He knows the effect of the present prison system upon the prisoner and upon the public at large. He held the audience spell bound as he graphically described how he was put to work to punch a hole through the center of a ten-ton rock in the parching rays of a southern sun, and when this punishment was unable to break his spirit, he was beaten and suspended by his wrists until blood from his kidneys had stained the flagstones. He spoke of his experience in a gas chamber where he was thrown, and of how he became unconscious when overcome by the cruel fumes; of the maddening silence of solitary confinement, and of the horrors of being sewed up in canvas and the cruelty of prison wardens. He made a plea to all those who were interested in humanity to support the American Crusaders who were working to reform the prison system and do something towards rescuing those who for some reason or the other had committed an offence against society. The prisons, he said, were just hotbeds of crime and debauchery, disease infested, foul, immoral, stonchridden dens, where those confined had little to do other than to trade information regarding how to commit more crime, where abnormal conditions pervaded all those who came under their painful influence.

All good and good advice to Royal Chemical Company JAMAICA NEW YORK (Premium full pages) We find that a number of members are paying their dues in divisions and their secretaries, whose duty it is to send this money to headquarters and doing so. The members are thus by no fault of their own accord to become diligent with the parent body. This is unfortunate, and to avoid this it is necessary for the members to see to it that each month the secretary of the division make a report to the membership of all financial transactions in the division, including mandy sent to the parent body for dues and depth tax. All members who are alive to their interests will see to it that this is done. ROBERT L. POSTON, Secretary-General prevailed there would be no necessity for taxpayers to support two million people at the staggering cost of eight billion dollars annually. After stating the aims and objects of the association, he invited the audience to ask questions of the methods of reform and their practical application to criminals. Several persons availed themselves of the opportunity to question the speaker, after which the meeting was brought to a close. Elections on Nov. 13 The members of the Philadelphia division are determined that nothing shall disturb the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. All hearts are opened, and eyes turned to November 13, when officers will be elected for this division's next term of administration. The confidence placed in Dr. Lonely A. Francis, president, and Miss Mazie King, general and financial secretary whose terms of offices will expire November 13, was demonstrated on last Tuesday night, October 30, when a business meeting was held at Liberty Hall, 604 South Seventeenth street, to consider the coming election. The method used was unique in the history of the U. N. I. A. Nominations were called for, then a nominating committee (elected by the membership) reduced the nominees to a minimum, and submitted the names to the general membership for approval or otherwise. This state will go on printed ballot for the votes of the body on November 13. This method permits a square deal for all. Dr. Lonel A. France was the only one nominated for president, which shows the work that he has done in three years: is highly approved of, Miss Maze King, reliable, honest, and energetic, as she proved herself in the present term, had one opponent who gracefully declined in her favor. TORONTO, CANADA The members of the Toronto Division have taken on new inspiration and are rapidly moving on in the fight for racial uplift. We have reorganized our units and have got into closer touch with the parent body. Without touching the funds of the local we have repaired and renovated our hall in order that it may reflect the new spirit which has taken hold of the division. On October 21 the Juveniles hold a special meeting at, which they rendered an excellent program. Miss Myrtle Braithwaite, 12 years old, presided. The meeting opened with the singing of "From Greenland's Ice Mountains," followed by prayer by the chaplain, Dr. Myers. The children acquitted themselves well and in a manner which reflected great credit on the training which they received from the officers of the division. Miss Braithwaite took as her subject "The Want of Spiritual Food," and handled her subject with the skill of a seasoned orator. Several colos, recitations and short addresses were given and heartily applauded by the audience. After the chaplain had pronounced the benediction the meeting was brought to a close. F. ALLENKNE CENTRAL FRANCISCO, CUBA On October 8 the Central Francisco division, No. 640, was honored with a visit from Mr. Barrett, president of the Jobabo division: A special meeting was called to welcome the visitor. The meeting was opened in the usual way, and as an act of courtesy and appreciation the president of the local, after a brief address, turned the chair over to Mr. Barrett. An excellent and interesting programme, consisting of songs, recitations and addresses, was rendered, after which Mr. Barret delivered an eloquent address in which he exhorted the members of the local to stick to the tricolor, the Red, Black and Green, and above all the principles of the association, which will lead us to a free and redeemed Africa. Mr. Stephen Pitkin, vice-president, then thanked the visitor for the splendid words of encouragement he had given to the members of the local and assured him that they would be found loyal and ready to sacrifice for the cause Africa. The meeting was brought to a close with the singing of the Ethiopian anthem. E. CLARKE. On Monday, September 8, a large and enthusiastic gathering assembled of the Liberty Hall of life division for the purpose of celebrating the fourth international holiday of November. Owing to the fact that most of our people are employed by the United Fruit Company and the day on which our national holiday fell was a busy day for them, the executives of the division decided to hold the celebration on September 2 instead of on August 21. At 11 a.m. a gubernatorial parade of the Juveniles under the command of Mr. J. H. Collins, the Black Cross purse in charge of Miss Wilhelmina Robertson and the Motor Corps was the chief attraction. The units made a splendid showing and after a thorough inspection were highly complimented by Commissioner C. H. Bryant. At 2 p. m. the members again gathered at Liberty Hall to attend the mass meeting which was presided over by Commissioner Bryant. The first speaker was Miss Iris Samuels, a member of the Black Cross Nurse unit, who extended a hearty welcome to all who were presented. Miss Samuels said that if the men were afraid to go forward to battle for Africa then the women would gladly take up arms and do so, because Africa must be redeemed at any cost. Mr. E. E. Gale, the next speaker, gave a vigorous and encouraging address, in which he told the members that they should be proud to belong to the greatest organization the world has ever seen and which was destined to be the ark of salvation for the Negro. The other speakers were Miss E. G. Gordon, Mr. J. R. Barrett, Mr. Daniel Roberts and Commissioner Bryant, who in his usual clear and gane style delivered the closing address. At 7 p.m. a grand bazaar and fancy fair was held in the spacious hall, where a variety of articles were exposed for sale. On Tuesday evening, September 4. a garden party and dance was given by the division. G. E. WELLDINGTON. Death of a Worker We regret to announce the death of Mrs. Roxana Miller, who departed this life on the 16th day of September. Mrs Miller was an active member of the Fort Limon division and worked assistiously to help build up the division and organize the Black Cross Nurses. She died like a loyal member and in her last moments she requested that the Ethiopian anthem be sung, in order that she might die with the words ringing in her ear, "Let Africa Be Free." The funeral service was held at the St. Marks Anglican Church, where the deceased was a member of the choir, and was attended by a large number of friends and associates. The Rev Bishop Jackson conducted the service and preached the sermon. He said in part: "I am pleased to know that the deceased was a member of the U. N. L. A because it proves conclusively that a loyal member of the U. N. L. A can also be a good church member, although quite a few persons are of the opinion that they can not link up with the U. N. L. A because they are connected with the church. The U. N. L. A is for the purpose of building up a powerful government on the continent of Africa, while the business of the church is to attend to the spiritual side of man, hence no right-thinking minister of the gospel would or should prevent any of his members from joining the U. N. L. A." The local made a spiced showing especially the 'unformed ranks' who made a great impression on the non- member. G.J. WELLENFON.

SPECIAL NOTICE TO DIVISIONS IN VIRGINIA Certain Divisions and Chapters of Eastern Virginia have formed themselves into a union or league, known as, of to be known as the "Tidewater Union." This union is looked upon with disdain by the Parent Body, as it is contrary to the Constitution of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, thereto illegal. All Divisions and Chapters constituting this union, or interested in some are CLEARLY INSTRUCTED to abide by the membership and support from said illegal union, and use their influence to disband same forthwith. Further, all other Divisions and Chapters of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are also warned and instructed to disband all leagues and unions organized among themselves without the written consent of the Parent Body forthwith, and no expected to attempt no such action, or to take no part in any such effort, without the written consent of the Parent Body. SECRETARY-GENERAL, Universal Negro Improvement Association SPECIAL WARNING In view of the fact that many persons are representing themselves as being sent out by the Universal Negro Improvement Association but bearing no credentials, take warning that In the future "no person or persons must be entertained without having in their possession preper credential signed by the President-General and Secretary-General of the Association." Only these signatures must be recognized. By order of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. More and more the Negroes of the Consulado plagiatation are spelling the significance of the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association as presented by His Excellency Hon. Marcus Garvey. Those who so appalled, did not have faith in our program, some weeks ago, have now begun to change their minds as Chapter No. 18 pushes onward and upwards, in spite of opposition from within and without, do her duty in this great cause for race liberation. Great interest in the chapter was displayed when the program for the month of August was published. The holding of a local convention, which convened on Sunday, August 17 and 18, and to which the various other divisions of the Republic were invited, as also many other local societies attracted much interest. The topics on the agenda were: (a) Local political status of the Negro; (b) Local religious conditions; (c) Local educational conditions; (d) Framing by-laws for local use. These items were discussed in a masterly way by the delegates assembled. The impression created at this convention was significant and its effect was better seen when several new members came forward and enrolled their names. At both sessions a short literary, and musical program was rendered, when several addresses were delivered befitting the occasion. Chief among the speakers were Brn. A. Labogn, president; Charles Thwaites, first vice-president; Jabah Lewis, assistant chaplain, and T. D. Nichols. Division No. 26. Macoris. The chief rendered some excellent selections, while the orchestra did credit to Messrs. Dallason and Peters, who are responsible for its instruction. At the close of the meeting refreshments were served, and all went away feelings they had spent a profitable and pleasant evening. SECRETARY. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA On September 15 in the Los Angeles division held a very interesting meeting before a fair gathering of member and friends. The "Opening Ode" was sung after which the president gave the opening address, followed by the reading of the front page of the Negro World by Captain of the Legion. We had with us two visitors from the motherland, Rev. and Mrs. Sishuba of Quenstown, South Africa, who gave us a very interesting talk on Africa and also sang in the dialect of the tribe of which they are members. A telegram was read from the Hon. Marcel Garvey requesting us to obey a place to hold a meeting upon his arrival. The announcement was received with cheers. Spider Carpenter, of the San Francisco division, who happened to be in town paid us a Vale and gave us a few words of encouragement. On the 23rd we arrived with a very successful meeting. The attentive men were large and extremely enthusiastic. The president after opening the meeting vacated the chair which he turned over to the second Vice President, Mr. David J. Stafford, who concluded the meeting in a very able manner. The proclamation consisted of several social code abbreviations and addresses. "Among the speakers was Mr. William Posey a brilliant lawyer who spoke on the Negro and the Fourteenth Amendment." He handled the subject as a masterly way which made it the human and we are sure that members know about the fourteenth amendment that these all before. Mr. Smith, President of the Confirmation Division, was also a visitor and made a philological analysis of the final paper article of the Negro World. The meeting was closed with pts. and the closing of the Ethiopian anthon. SPECIAL NOTICE IN VIRT Certain Divisions and Chapters of selves into a union, or league, known a Union.

There was an enthusiastic gathering of symphony and jazz of the Winston-Salem Division of the U. N. I. A. at its weekly mass meeting held at Symphony Hall, to listen to Mr. Theodore Bassett, a student of Howard University. Mr. Bassett took his subject, "The Awakened Negro," and delivered a strong and inspiring address. He said in part: "The Negro is a sleeping giant who will be aroused by the program of the U. N. I. A., and made to realize his wonderful potentialities. The Negro has demonstrated again and again that he is capable of meeting the white man in the field of sports and defeat him, to meet him in the classroom in competitive examinations and obtain the highest marks, and black men have shown that courage and fighting spirit are not exclusively the possessions of any one race. Many, Negroes, who like to imagine themselves as belonging to the aristocrats of the race, have opposed the U. N. I. A., not taking the trouble to investigate the thing they so readily criticize, but deep down in their hearts they know and I believe that the program of the U. N. I. A. is the only solution to the problem." REPORTER. BASE LINE, BOCAS A very interesting meeting was held at Farm 5, Bass Line, on the evening of October 17. For about a year and two months we were prohibited from holding meetings owing to the wilful misrepresentations of our enemies to the Alcabie. Thanks, however, to the determined efforts of our worthy Commissioners. Hon. Charles Bryant, the members of the division are now more privileged to hold their meetings. The spirit of Gargesyum, however, was never killed and the members are now more determined then ever to go onwards and upwards in the light for a free and relegated Africa. The meeting was opened with the sitting of the opening ode, followed by an address by Mr. Whittaker, supervisee and field assistant of the Committee. There was an election of officers and members of committees to look after the working of the division. Several songs and addresses found part of the program which was an interesting one. The meeting was brought to a close with the singing of the Ethiopian anthem. J. J. SMITH.

The bungalows are pretty, plourgeque and foreign in appearance. The styles of architecture are borrowed from all countries in the world, and it is not surprising to see in one block twenty bungalows, each of a different style, each with some peculiar oddity; whether in the roof, walls, windows or in the general structure. For instance, I saw a shingled roof, painted in light blue, green, red and brown. That is, each shingle was painted in one of these colors, and yet the whole seemed to harmonize. The other parts of the house were painted white and a green, well-kept lawn made an unique little home. Another roof that attracted my attention was an uneven roof painted green that had the appearance of a lake shadowed by a green hill and slightly rippled by the wind. Some of the windows of the houses are high, with irregular and man-colored panels of glass, like church windows. The Spanish style was very much in evidence, and in some cases only needed the olive tinted beauty at the iron railed windows to complete the setting. The weather was delightfully warm. It was the first snap I got after leaving Kansas City and thoroughly enjoyed a sun bath before boarding the train.

Many believe that the charge was only a sham to get Garvey with the hope of destroying his work. The whole thing seems to be made up of an international plot which will shortly expose itself. Several Negro men and organizations have been parties to what some regard as a "frame-up," but Truth shall have a hearing. An appeal must be taken to the highest courts of the land to further test justice; therefore, every Negro of loyalty and manhood is asked to subscribe to this fund. The fight for Africa's liberty is just begun; let us all help. Send in your subscription addressed to the Secretary, Marcus Garvey Release Committee, 56 West 135th Street, New York City, N. Y. 1.

The following address was delivered by Grace Abbott, chief of the Children's Bureau of the United States Department of Labor, at the annual meeting of the National Urban League for Social Service among Negroes, at Kansas City, Mo. October 18: In 1921 the infant mortality rate: that is, the deaths under one year of age, per 1,000 live births, for Negroes in the birth registration area of the United States was 105 as compared with 72 for whites. For that year, then, the Negro rate was 50 per cent, higher than the white rate and the white rate is more than twice what it should be if what is now known about the prevention of infant mortality were practiced by communities. In a series of studies of infant mortality made by the Children's Bureau, we have found that poverty is the baby's greatest enemy. The baby death—both white and colored—occur in largest numbers in families in which the father's wages is the lowest. in families in which the mother goes out to work during the period before the baby comes and while the baby is still of nursing age; the death rate is higher among children born in rear houses or houses on alleys than among those born in houses on streets. It is, therefore, to be expected that the Negro rate will be higher than the white rate. But these handicaps of poverty can be overcome if there is made available for the mother information as to (1) what constitutes good care for herself before and during childbirth, and (2) what constitutes good care for the baby. Poverty and ignorance Poverty may be accompanied by ignorance, but there is little reason for believing that maternal ignorance is much greater among the poor than among the well-to-do. The well-to-do mother can purchase the intelligence of the skilled doctor and nurse. When communities have undertaken through well-baby clinics or child health cen- pea to make available for all mothers information as to proper care for children, the death rate has promptly been reduced. And long before the present inequalities in wages and in housing conditions under which the Negro suffers are done away with, we can and should reduce the infant mortality, and morbidity rates. Much progress has already been made since the rate for Negroes has been reduced in a six-year period from 181 to 108 deaths per 1,000 live births. The National Urban League is especially concerned with the urban child. In 1921 the urban infant mortality rate for whites was 75, for colored 128; in rural areas the infant mortality rate for the whites was 70, for the colored two. In the last five years the urban rate for all children has been reduced more rapidly than the rural rate because organization of educational work among urban mothers was so much easier with the same expenditure of time and money than among rural mothers. But the Negro baby in the country enjoys an advantage over the Negro baby in the city. In a study made of the infant death in Baltimore during 1915, the Children's Bureau found the death rate among babies with native white mothers was 95 as compared with 105, among the babies of colored mothers. In eight cities in which studies were made by the Children's Bureau of more than 22,000 babies, the rate was practically the same 154 for colored as compared with 108 for white babies, and 94 for babies with native white mothers. The Negro rate was not the most serious death rate in Baltimore—the rate was 4 points higher among the babies with Polish mothers. A Comparison Since 1915 the rate in Baltimore has been higher and lower for both colored and white babies than in that year; in 1921, the last year for which the final figures are available, it was $0 for CHRISTMAS!! 10 Pretty Negro Dolls Special bargain sale of high quality colored dolls at rock-bottom stores.

In Baltimore, for deaths due to gastric and intestinal diseases, which is an indication of the intelligence or lack of intelligence in feeding, especially as to whether the babies were or were not breast fed, the Negroes had almost as low a rate as the native whites; in the deaths due to respiratory or to early infancy diseases the rate was higher than for any other race or nationality group. The United States Maternity and infancy Act, which makes possible Federal, and State co-operation in the reduction of infant and maternal mortality, has been accepted by forty States—all except Maine Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Louisiana, Illinois and Kansas, and that in several of the States accepting, a very large part of the money being expended in work among Negro mothers. In all the States, the funds made available under this act are being spent for educational work, especially in the rural areas, and we expect in a few years to have something concrete to report in the way of results. There is one other factor in child health in regard to which educational work among nothers is greatly needed. It is generally estimated that about 75 per cent of the children in the United States have rickets during the first two years of life and that among Negro children the rate is much higher than among white children. By this I do not mean that 75 per cent of all the children of the country have extreme curves of rickets which are recognized by the seriously bowed legs and big heads that all of you have seen in the poorer districts of our cities. But 75 per cent of the children have had rickets currently enough to have affected the bone arrupture permanently, causing foot, chest deformities and other deformities and making the child, throughout its life, less able to resist disease than it would be if it had not had rickets. We now know that rickets is caused by inadequate diet and lack of sunlight and if we can work out some way in which we can be sure the babies get A the necessary vitalities in their diet and can persuade mothers to let the sun have a chance to do its preventive work. rickets can be eradicated. During the past year the Children's Bureau made a study of rickets in Washington, D. C., which included both white and colored children. The material secured in the course of this investigation is now being tabulated. The Bureau is now following this by an intensive study of a district, in New Haven, Connecticut, in which the children are about one-third colored. Here we hope to have a demonstration of how to prevent rickets. This demonstration must be made over at least a two-year period, but with it completed we shall hope to have help in the educational work with mothers in other parts of the United States. Hopeful of the future. I am personally very hopeful that we shall see great improvement in the health of Negro children in the immediate future. The colored rate in the United States Birth Registration Area has been a few points higher than the rate for Kansas City (100 in 1922) for both whites and colored. It is not suggesting the impossible, indeed not even the impractical, when I say that it ought to be possible to reduce the urban death rate among Negro babies by one-half during the next ten years. We sometimes meet opposition among some doctors to a preventive health program, but we have found Negro doctors eager to help; we have found the Negro midwife easier to deal with than the white midwife, and the Negro mothers can be more easily persuaded to adopt good methods of child care than white mothers of the same educational and economic levels.

Bane! tin Wes tase Soa, Th Te: pipe mDis In Western Civilization a Failure?—White Man in His Conceit and Utter Disregard of Outside Opinion Cannot Understand That Others Can Reject His Civilization From Choice—Has Penetrated African Soil, Must Now Seek the African Heart By ROBERT L. POSTON (Secretary-General, U. N. I. A.) They say I am a descented of the savage African. This must be so, for 300 years of Western civilization have left me "uncivilized." What is, perhaps, even more startling, it has left me not desirous of being "civilized." Civilization, to me is not something to seek, but something to shun. Even now as I write I am in the midst of it—skyscrapers, subways, hurrying youth, halting old men, sweet, laughter, tears, prefense, emptiness—all! I do not love it. I hate it. I have no wish to preserve it. My one consuming destre is to see it over. It may seem presumptuous that I, who do not boast of a civilization of skyscrapers, subways and large business, should criticise one so great as this; but this I do—perhaps another savage indication of my ancestral connections. But why shouldn't I Are large buildings, which do not breed large hearts, and large promises which fall short of fulfilment, the end of life? Keeping the Faith I have faith to keep with my conscience. I would rather run the risk of being dubbed a foot than to have the consciousness that I live a lie. I will not longer keep silent. The most cruel and heartless civilization in the world today is that of the Western world, whose highest exponent is the white man. I do not pick my standard to measure it by. Measured by any standard it is least desirable. Whether we compare it with that of the Orient or even with the vagaries of savage Africa, it presents the greatest void. It is man's most pungent enemy. Laughter is at a premium. Only the simple hearted laugh. Others are occupied in things of greater moment things steel, lingly, material. The sad old men with their millions to the saddest story of Western failure. These sold themselves at the market, only to learn that the swallow's shrill or the rose's bloom cannot be purchased with anything on earth. But their revolting plight, does not serve to stay the ninety and nine out of a hundred youth who are headed in the same direction as fast as their blind ambitions will carry them. "Christianity" Will it be said that the curse of this Western world is Christianity? There may be great miracles for this religion to perform, but it must be admitted that so far it has failed in practice. When war wants an ally, who is more ready to respond? When oppression needs expiation, whose kind office is volunteered? Africa today is awaiting deliverance from Christianity, and India, too, has long been an object of grace. The world has a perfect right to ask whether the thing parading around as Christianity has any connection with the man who was supposed to have given it birth. The goal of the heathen, whether he is represented in stone or a cricket, is consistent. But the God of the Westerner is his convenience—good and ennobling when all is well, but crooked and deformed when all is not, as when they wanted to get the Hun. There is something about Christianity which can make men cool and systematically cruel. Just recently at the League of Nations after that August body had opened its session with prayer, France prepared to ask this venerable body for the right to kill a group of citizens in Africa, whose civilization, according to French standards, is so low as to endanger that of France—France who has just emerged from the incomplete task of exterminating the Germans "in the interest of humanity". We used to shudder at the reports of cruelly and barbarism in Africa, but a little investigation will prove that more people can be slain in a week with modern equipped war machinery in the hands of a single civilized nation, than the African would be able to kill in a year, if they did nothing else but engage in the killing business. We no longer go into hysteries at their reported cruelly. We could understand the cruelly of the white man, even if we could not justify it, if it made him happy, but to be both cruel and sad is the curse of the race. The End and the Means We are at a loss to find the cost of the white man's civilization, the purpose, if there is any. If the white man's aim is to better the world, we cannot harmonize the aim with the practice. If his object is to destroy the world, he is equally at fault on principle, for it takes a just man even to destroy. If it is right that the Japanese should live in California and that the Negro should vote in Mississippi, any effort on the part of anybody to block it would but hasten the realization of the thing. It would appear, that his history would teach him that. But there again we have a strange fact to deal with, when we consider the white man. His history and his philosophy have little to do with directing his conduct. While it is true that he will ravenously devour Emerson, it must be remembered that Brann's "iconoclast" is to him just an dear. If he taken into his system a good and humanizing thought he is almost sure to expell it presently with one most cruel and diabolical. White Man's Concern What I here write of the white man will not affect him in the least. His greatest curse is his utter disregard of debate opinion. To him, the Jap, the Siamer and the Chink are but neces- sary evils to be tolerated until he can get along without their labor, and then if a kind providence has not removed them, he will proceed to do it himself just as he relieved the Indian of the burden of living in American. He is incapable of realizing that other races are thinking too. He takes their failure to accept his civilization as evident stupidity on their part, justifying his position in walking rough shod over them. It never occurs to him that these people reject his civilization from choice. He reasons always that it is done because of their inability to approach it. If he knew that what these races want is not his charity, but to be let severely alone, it might deprive him of some of his conceit, or at least, it might cause him to study his divorce and murder record. Even in cases where he is charitable enough to give the other fellow credit for doing a little thinking on his own account, he mars this by the most disgrant violation of the principles of justice, when that thinking runs counter to some preconceived notion of his. To justify himself in doing this he will tear out every page from Emerson, if need be. The Negro's Philosophy I am American trained, and in so far as my African blood always revolting against certain customs has not been able to prevail, I can be safe to be truly American. I love a symphony, can appreciate a football game and feel a hurt. Recently, at an affair with a young lady friend, a big, burly white man with less than average intelligence, proceeded to monopolize my sunlight. My American training, mindful of my rights, revolted, my African instinct, equally around, protested. I had in me a little Japanese I presume it too would have condemned it. My first impulse was to handle this man who brutally obstructed my view. I had no misgivings about my ability to do this, for whatever other failings they assign to me, even my bitterest enemies acknowledge the strength of my right arm. But, on second thought, I concluded that it would not be wise to use force. There were several hundred other persons present of the same race of this gentleman, and though many of them were highly trained, some of these would not have stood lily by while I administered to this ruthenian the beating he deserved. They would have argued that white supremacy was at stake. Yet, if the scene shifted and this ruthenian obstructed the view and of this dozen of white gentlemen of culture, any one of them would have administered him a beating with the assistance of the others, if it was needed. Color changed the complexion of white philosophy in a case of this kind what was there left for me to do? I trained myself to make out with less sunlight in order that this ruthenian would be confounded by more than his share. This is the story of the average Negro in America. Having little, he trains himself to get the maximum out of that, while his over-injudged white brother is sad with excesses. Each Negro is necessarily a philosopher, but his philosophy is a reaction against a civilization toothed at heart and ready to be junked. A Paradox Whether it is best to oppress or to be oppressed seems yet a problem with man. White the rate of the tormentor may be more attractive on the surface, those who patiently bear are not without their reward. I firmly believe that the Negro occupies the most enviable position. His opportunities for cultivating those refining characteristics which really distinguish man are double those of his tormentor. Who knows? The role of the white man, who seems more a machine than a human being, may be to erect palaces for those more capable of occupying them than himself. If the present state of upheaval in Europe has any lesson at all for the world, it is to confirm this belief. The white man has proven himself utterly incapable of living together in peace. The success of the so-called "inferior" races will depend upon their ability to keep alive until this wartime white man has eliminated himself as a possible competitor through civil strife. Lessons from Life The person who argues that his civilization must be best, for no other civilization is quite so powerful, does not be wilder with his logic. The Lion is admittedly the king of the forest, but he is fast giving way to the common heir, who has a better way of serving humanity. Nor is the overworked argument that he has done more to develop science given him the right to call his civilization superior. It is not a question of how soon I get to 'where I am going, but what is my business after I get there. It is true the airplane has added speed to travel, but it must not be forgotten that it has also added terror to war. The world has moved very fast, but it has not and must not go far away from God's inscrutable law of justice, love and mercy. If these can be found in a palatial home, in a breast adorned with satin, then let us have them; but if they happen to be found, in a savage's cave, in a breast untouched, by clothes, we must not ignore them there. Arriba the Hope. The world which has looked to the white man for guidance must now look to some other source. For not only is the white man unable to help the world, but it would appear that he stands most in a speed of the world's help. Japan would have made a wonderful substitute had she not, while learning the white man's knowledge of machinery, learned his ways of oppression. The Chinese today distrust the Nippon and 400,000,000 people, disapproving of the leadership of a group of people, practically eliminated it as a world leader. Nazapeth must again be called upon. The hope of the world is in Africa. Science has now about gone her limit. Soul must take up and carry on. The kindly sons of Ham must teach the world how they have been able to bear so patiently without striking back. The world needs a baptism of this more than any disarmament conference or League of Nations. Civilization has not kept pace with non-civilization in a few of the essential things of life. The savage can laugh and love. Until we can do these we have no superior claim to civilization. But civilization is not without its benefits. It has at least taught me to hate it, and that is in the direction of complete recovery. There may yet come a day when the native innocence and savage simplicity of the African race be as eagerly ought by the white man as he now seeks the diamonds of Kimberly. The Test of Courage There is no question that the white man needs a glitter. God, how he needs it! But it needs to light up from within rather than from without. He has penetrated the African soil: now let him seek the African heart. Let him sit in the counsel of the Zulu and learn what real courage is, for it takes more courage to live in the company of a white man than it does to live in the fear of the lion. For, blinded by an unnatural ambition and shorn of all restraint, even that which comes from God, he has set out to cower the world. But will he succeed? Read the latest reports from Europe, and, with me, pity him.

Or if you are entertaining special preferences for women you can have Negro females build your new house, with the exception of the plumbing and gas-fitting. There are in the United States thirty-four Negro women who are designers; three brick, and stone mason, twenty-six carpenters, three plasterers, eight painters, glaziers and varnishers and eleven paperhangers. After it is finished you might have it insured by any one of the 476 Negro female insurance agents. That stubborn and insurgently stone lodge which obstructs your view of the street—remove it. How?

MARCUS GARVEY 133 W. 129th Street, New York City Agents Who Desire to Handle These Pictures Can Also Communicate With Above Address To the Editor of The Negro World: White Americans, after having been censured by the French government and given a gentle hint to leave their racial prejudice outside of the three-mile limit, received quite another shock when a Parisian audience failed to show any appreciation for O'Nell's "Emperor Jones," an American play which pokes fun at the Negro-and pictures him as an inferior. The cable dispatch reads in part: "French newspaper critics who gathered for the final dress rehearsal were absolutely incapable of reconciling American and French views on the Negro problem. Throughout the performance there was only an occasional applause and then only when the audience appreciated the difficulties. Maurice Bourgoble had had in translating American "cuss words." Tonight American society turned out en masse to hear O'Nell in French, but the French portion of the audience "Romained as unimpressed as during the repetition generate." Our American friends are doing their best to transplant their damnable race prejudice into Latin and Gaelle countries, especially into France, where colored men enjoy absolutely equal rights and privileged with the white Frenchman. The Anglo-Saxon cannot understand and does not appreciate the Latin's attitude toward the colored man. It would appear as if the Latin race is better able to understand the meaning of the words liberty, fraternity, and equality, and is neither so selfish nor so ignorantly proud as to endeavor to make these the exclusive rights of any one race. In the old slave days, the Anglo- Saxon had no compunction about using a black woman to satisfy his desires but his hard heart and pride would not allow him to acknowledge his half- breed children, who had to follow the condition of their mothers. On the other hand, while the Latin did not exercise any more restraint upon his passions than the Saxon, he generally acknowledged the children, took them under his care and protection and, in many instances, sent them to Paris, Lisbon or Madrid to be educated, and he certainly did everything possible to make life easier for the black mother of his children. I am glad to see that the French are not allowing the few dollars which the American Bourgeois spend with them to influence their liberal and just attitude toward the black man. I am firmly of the opinion that eventually the close contact of the white Americans with such a highly civilized people in the French will in time subdue the grade and objectionable members which they display when in foreign countries and will give to them that real culture and polish which are the hall-marks of civilization. To the Editor of The Negro World:—I read, with much interest, in the "Boston Traveler" of October 24, an article said to be part of an address delivered by Dr. H. W. Evana, Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan explaining the attitude of the Klan toward Negroes, Jews and Catholics. After stating that the cause of the Klan is "True Americanism" he goes on to say: "Our destiny is the common welfare upon a plane high above any mankind has ever known." Now, if by "True Americanism" is meant loyalty to the Government, obeying its laws, loving its institutions, supporting its principles and endeavoring to live in peace and harmony with the different race groups, of which it is composed, then I have this to say:— The Negro, brought to this country against his will and forced into chatel glawery, gave his manhood in the development of these United States. After his emancipation, and in spite of the brutal and inhuman treatment which he had undergone at the hands of his oppressors, his love for his adopted country remained unchanged. He tilted the land in spite of whiplings by organized bands of the former Ku Klux Klan. He felled the trees of the forests and built the roads of the cities in spite of sneers and curses. He sweat and labored from morn until night, sometimes without food, sometimes without skoar, and his love of country did not abate, his capacity for forgiveness of his enemies was not lessened. In spite of lynchings, in spite of being Jimcrowed, in spite of segregation, in spite of all the hellish ingenuity of his oppressors he has stood by Old Glory; guarding her president without betraying his trust, rushing to her aid in days of strife, giving his life, his all, without hope of reward. If that is "True Americanism" surely the Negro stands qualified at 100 per cent. American and will indeed raise the "common welfare to a plane higher than any mankind has ever known." But this "Imperial Medicine-man" goes on to say: "There is the Negro-ten and one-half million, they have not, they cannot attain the Anglo-Saxon level" Biology and anthropology prove it. The low mentality of savage ancestors is inherent in the blood stream of the colored race in America." Really such ignorance is refreshing. Dr. Evans seems to have read history with his prejudices. History tells us that the early Biblical (Odessa) blood predominated. In the Anglo-Saxon race were deshred by their Roman ancestors and masters to be so obeque that it was doubtful, whether they would ever make good slaves. History also shows that with all the institutions of learning, of culture, art, architecture, and the great governmental system of Rome as examples which he may may follow or improve upon, it took the "high mentality" of the Anglo-Saxon race over four hundred years to evolve the "Margna Charla" of English liberty; it took five hundred years before its poetry was of such quality as to gain recognition, and seven hundred and fifty years before its literature merited, a place among the world's greatest. Its rulers were, for the most part, a miserable lot, noted more for their eccentricities or vulgarities than for any effort at worthy achievement or high mentality. The Negro, taken from the land of his forefathers and brutally held under degrading conditions, through the depravity of some who may have read of the treatment accorded their Anglo-Saxon ancestors by the Normans, for 350 years, has, during the fifty-nine years since his epicanthropy, proved that color is not an index of one's humanity. During these fifty-nine years he has made many contributions to American civilization. I will just mention a few in passing. In literature he has produced Phyllis Wheatley, the first poetess of either race in America, Paul Laurence Dunbar, William Stanley Braithwaite; in art, Henry O. Tanner; scientific inventions, Benjamin Banneker, John Tur Every Man Who Has Force of You Scientist Makes Wonderful Disco Years Shou Every Man Who Has Lost the Vital Force of Youth May Be Restored RHEUMATISM Why suffer with Rheumatism, Gout, if impure blood, when you can be relie SCHAPIRA'S Money refunded for first trial bott use nothing and gain your health.

There have been, and there still are forces at work seeking to bring about a nullification of the thing you long most to see—a United Race with "One God, One Aim, One Destiny" as its motto. As a compensation to the Hon. Marcus Garvey for all the suffering he has undergone and is still undergoing for his ideal of a United Race, we are embarking on a special campaign to increase the circulation of the Negro World by 50,000 before the end of the year.

It was said that the Negro race could never predate a single individual who could contaminate a Greek verb, but Professor William S. Scarborough wrote a Greek tert-book, and "The Thematic Vowel in the Greek Verb." The Negro therefore has nothing to be ashamed of. Give him equal opportunities for development, and he will surprise the world. He has helped to make this great government what it is today. It is because of its heterogeneous peoples that this has become the greatest democracy on earth. "I feel sure that if more of the "thirty-five million 100 per cent. Americans" (number, computed by Dr. Evans), would try and emulate the spirit of the Negro, the laws of this country would be more respected, and all of its citizens would be profiled thereby.
