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.

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.

GARVEY TO SPEAK IN LIBERTY HALL ON THURSDAY NIGHT OF THIS WEEK—JOHN W. 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.
Mr. Poston made a thoughtful address on the subject of "civilization" in
```markdown
```
which he pointed out that the difference in habits and modes of living of the various peoples in different parts of the earth was no indication of a superiority or inferiority in their civilization. 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.

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

the way over from starvation, disease, ill-treatment and the rest of it, put upon auction blocks and sold to the highest or lowest blinders; and then through the years that followed designedly kept in ignorance and then deplied and persecuted and punished because of their alleged inferiority.
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 Ethiopian Empress, Zadiquit, recently paid a visit to Albert, King of Belgium. This is considered to be a repetition of the act of the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon. Empress Zadiquit sent rich gifts, which consisted of a collection of precious stones found in the Abyssinian hills and valued several hundred thousand francs.

froni the Southern States during the past year, to mect the demand

bution 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. fn 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 Enropeans
and menibers of our group in the Southern ‘States are movéd by, and
the West Indian urge is beginning tg attract unusual consideration
of the thinkers of the islands. We gather as much from publications
in the Barbados Weekly Heralg. thé Port of Spain Gazette, the
Dominica Guardian and the Barbados Standard: .All of these news:
papers are giving consideration to the disposition of the islafiders to
go to New York, for that is what it amounts to. It is estimated that
come 5,000 have left Trinidad alone. The Barbados Weckly Herald
sums up the situation ag follows: si
We'are very sensitive'in Barbados over this questfen. of emi-
gration.: 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-sacrific-
ing patriotism.to be found in the-poorer classes alone. If some
of the people of these coloriies, who have amassed such huge
fortunes, were. blessed with the smallest vestige of patriotism,
enough money‘tould 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 |.

find what he is not likely to find at home? We yigld to no one |
in our understanding and appreciation of the excellencies of the ,||
British flag but we cannot shui our eyes to the fact that in the |.
present state of affairs emigration to America is, indispensably, |)
necessary to the West Indies. e | |!
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 en- |!
deavoring to prevent them from taking advantage of the superior |:
opportunities which America undoubtedly offers. :

DISKRANCHISEMENT AND THE REMEDY
a HE Southern States -disfranchise a large part of their citizen-
“FE —ship “because. gf race;-color- and'previous-condition of servi-
K* tude,” although the Federal Constitittion says that ‘‘no State
~shall” do it. Strangely enotigh the Federal Supreme Court says that
it can be done and hag sanctioned so much of it as has heen 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
tepresentation in. Congress by our numbers,
But how will reduction of representation in Congress henge us?
“Wetare first,of- all “citizens of the United States and the States in
which we reside.” If Congress should enact a measure reducing
*Southerit representation because gi our disfranchisement, it would
legalize the right of a State to disfranchise us, and the Supreme
‘Gaurt would very probably uphold such legislation. If it should
— dos; the Tight of any-State; not-only-of the Southern-Stateswontd:
_ be afirmed, to do so. Du 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 makipg this mandatory in
the following: “The right of citizens of the United States to. vote
-shgll not be denied ot abridged'by the United States or by any State
onmaccount of race, color or previous condition of servitude.” ‘That
is plain.enough.
Af we insist npon Cotigress reducing representation because of our
yafranchisement-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 nowy no dispute about the question, but which, if they had the
power, might follow the example of the Southern States. It is te
our best interests to let, the Southern reduction of representation
business alone. Time will remedy it.
GROUP: LEADERSHIP AND MASS ACTION
ASS action with group leadership iy an_impossibility. At
M this time, in all parts of the globe. the Negro people are
dominated by groups and gresip leadership. Strangely
enough these groups, although they may have a common objective.
and necessarily must have, appear inicapable, as our church denomi-
nations are, to adapt any coucerte’d policy for the common welfare.
Each has its hobby, if we may cali it such, and has no patience with
the hobby of the othe? groups. ven’ when they affect to stand for
interests Uhat concern the race generally they do su as a group, dom-
‘inated by group leadership, and they miuat ueiessarily be hampered
in whatever they undertike to,du.
For example, can yen imagine « race yathoring which-coukd har-
“Mionize its ree policy and submit to a leadership composed of Kelly.
Miller. and his come-on Sanhedrin, Monroe Trotter and his Equal

Invisibles, Cyrilaughic. Briggs with his ohscurant Blood Brotherhood
—can.you imagine these notable worthies, with delegates of their
groups, getting together in one place and adypiing a common policy
and_a common Jeadership for the good of the race? ‘They might
patch up a pclicy, but on the question of leadership they would

‘And when Mr. Garvey says, “Unt-

love and fordness that a father dis-

the mind of qn unprejudiced listener
that thix movement of hie tn tery near

A Prediction
Intelligent and trained leadership te
essentfal to success in any effort at
race advancement or uplift, bug intelli-
gence must have something to lead
before it can do any work for the prog-
reas of the race. In the sume way,
the masses of the race can get no-
where without the sympathy, co-up-
eration and leaderalilp of the cducated
and trained members of the race. The
U.N. I. A. 1s growing daily and, some-
where dawn the road, the higher type
ot Negra leadera in America will be
compelled to seok a basis of co-opefa-
ion with the leaders of the Garvey
movement. If they do not. they, will
have no work to do because the mas
of Negroes ate likely to be swayed by
the program of the U. N. I. A. or some
similar organization.

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.

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!"
MY FUTURE IS WITH YOU
By CHARLIE MILLER
Some of you may be in wonder, as you
Sit there with a smile;
Wondering what advice or lesson
Can be given by a child.
Well, the first thing I will tell you.
And I'm mighty glad to say:
I belong to one GREAT movement,
Known as the U. N. I. A.
Now, unto you older members,
Who are claiming to be true.
Please be careful what you're doing.
For my future is with you.
When you have your business meetings
Make a record grand and true;
Just remember, when we grow up
We are going to read of you.
I can only sit and listen.
I have got to await awhile.
I not counted in those meetings—
'Cause I'm just a Juvenile.
Oh, press on, redeem our country!
Let no conflict come between
After you have won your victory
Plant the Red, the Black and Green
Some day I'll be old as you are and
Great children with a smile; then
I shall recall my childhood.
When I was a Juvenile.
Gerry, End.

UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION
80 WEST 130th STREET
NEW YORK, N.Y. 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.

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

things which will emphasize them. 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. With a different prison system from that which today

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sacramento has not taken an amph of the commercial appearance of the average American city. To see it resembles Key West, Florida, it many ways. 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.

THE FUND SUBSCRIBERS WHOSE LIBERALITY WE GRATEFULLY ACKNOWLEDGE
Everybody Must Subscribe Now to Test Whether the Black Man Can Obtain Justice
As was to be expected, Marcus Garvey has been found guilty by a jury of white men of using the United States mails to defraud.
Many believe that the charge was only a sham to get Garvey with the hope of destroying his work. The whole thing seems to be made up of an international plot which will shortly expose itself. 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.

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

white babies; and 123 for colored babies.
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.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP-ROOT
Thousands of women have kidney and bladder trouble and never suspect it. Women's complaints often prove to nothing else but kidney trouble, or the pain of bladder trouble. If the kidneys are not in a healthy condition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased. Pain in the back, headlight loss of addition, in resuscitation, are often symptoms of kidney failure. Kilmers Sevenmoor, a physician's prescription, obtained by any drug store, may be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions. Get a medium or hardy six-bottle bottle of Kilmers Sevenmoor. However, if you wish to drink this great potion prepared for you to Dr. Kilmers & Co., Emporium, N.Y., for sample bottles. When writing be sure and mention this paper.

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.,
