A., 56 West 135th St., or Mrs. Marcus Garvey, 133 West 129th Street, New York It is well that we realize the war that is being waged and the conflict existing between certain elements of our race. This is unfortunate because, God knows, if there is a race that should be united in itself it is the Negro race. But there are certain people who so hate the blood of their mothers that there is no reason or appeal that will satisfy them in having enough pride as to fight for the perpetuation of their African stock, but to do everything that will obliterate it and to cause them to lose themselves among other races. Among the individuals and organizations subtly working for the destruction of the Negro race is W. E. B. Du Bois and his National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Some people may think that it is a personal spite that we have against this man and a hatred of his organization that causes us to make the statement. I desire to state to the contrary. I am not interested in the man more than that he forms himself a stumbling block in the progress of the Negro race, and his organization continues as a mischievous movement that seeks to undermine the existence of a strong and virile race for the immediate advantage to be derived therefrom by the few people who are seeking to escape the blood Afric. Discussing a Man and His Policy This leads me to a discussion of the intention of this man and his organization. From my study of Du Bois and his organization I have come to the conclusion that they are endeavoring in a subtle and underhand manner to import into American society a new order of prejudice, not so much between the white man and the Negro as between certain elements and the majority members of our race. The effort has been for them to approach the white race and to clandestinely represent to them that what is superior in our race is reflected through them, and if the whites will socially and economically recognize them as such, that they would constitute themselves as the middle element between whites and Negroes and that their moral, physical; and other strength would be used in conjunction with the white race to suppress the unorganized bulk of Negroes. In other words, Du Bois and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People are endeavoring to get the whites in America to give them the same kind of recognition that the British Colonial Governments give to the middle element between Negroes and whites in the Colonies. This is Du Bois's supreme intention as well as the intention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, yet they are not honest enough to openly tell us, the fifteen million Negroes of America, of their purpose, fearing that they would be defeated in their designs. But Du Bois has gone far enough for us to expose him and to warn the race against this terrible danger that confronts us, not only in America but in the entire world, through the restless effort of this man of Dutch-French-Negro origin. The Reason for Hostilities The hostilities between Du Bois and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the Universal Negro Improvement Association are caused through the exposure of the intention of these people in their effort to destroy our race. Some people would regard it as strange that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People could seek to do such a thing when they are endeavoring to stop lynching and other forms of injustice to Negroes, but this must be regarded as only a ruse to deceive the public of the Negro race so as to gain headway in fostering the program of racial destruction. The Negroes in America are not acquainted with the British Colonial system of ruling darker people, but Du Bois and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People have made a study of it, and are using their knowledge for the fostering of a similar program in America without arousing the suspicion of the great bulk of the race here domiciled. The British colonial system as well as the new French colonial system is as follows: Wherever the Negro forms a majority of the population and there are not enough members of the white race successfully to rule and guarantee their existence they create a buffer between themselves and the native Negroes, consisting of the very lightest element of the colored race and such Negroes as are exceptionally educated and prosperous. They use them to keep down the mass of Negroes and allow them certain personal privileges, such as intermarrying now and again within the white race and admitting them into social clubs and orders of the white race, this being done as an inspiration to others to seek the same privilege, which privilege can be enjoyed only when they completely lend their moral, financial, physical and general strength to the ruling faction of the white race in helping to establish the permanence of their administration over the great bulk of the Negro native population. By such a policy England is able to control the colonies of the West Indies and her colonies in Africa, and France is also able to control her overseas Negro dominions. In countries where the whites form the bulk of the population and the Negroes form a strong minority and where any danger is feared by the interference of a foreign enemy and where it will be necessary to use the combined strength of the white and black elements to protect the particular country, the majority whites FAILURE OF PAN-AFRICAN CONGRESS AMERICAN NEGROES SHOULD BE CAREFUL AND GUARD THEMSELVES AGAINST PLOT TO DESTROY AND OPPRESS RACE BY ITS OWN THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION DETERMINED TO SAVE THE RACE WATCH DuBOIS OF AMERICA, DE LISSER OF THE WEST INDIES, AND THEIR AGENTS TRYING TO MAKE EUROPE OUT OF AFRICA would also encourage the lighter class in the enjoyment of certain economic advantages as well as to deliver over to them as a common whole Negroes with whom they might be associated. It is such a program that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People along with W. E. B. Du Bois, is seeking to foster in America and all over the world, with the intention of securing for this element a similar privilege as that enjoyed by the colonials, to the detriment of the great mass of the people. That is why Du Bois is regarded as a dangerous man and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People as a mischievous movement to the Negro race in America. Sir Sydney Olivier, former British Colonial Governor, is an ardent advocate of the above stated British policy. He advises his government to encourage certain elements of the colored race to intermarry into the white race, so as to strengthen the control of the white native population. The Purpose of Pan-African Congress Herbert George De Lisser, the Jew-Spanish-Negro-Anglo Saxon, ardently supports Sir Sydney Olivier in this policy; therefore the world that we find W. E. B. Bois, in his efforts to promote a Pat. African Congress seeking the companionship of Sir Sydney Olivier in London, would have to the principal speakers and supporters in his so-called Pan-African movement. The Pan-African idea of Du Bois is but an international plan to address the above-mentioned policy, and that is why we are glad that the third sign has been a failure. How could it be otherwise? Any man who seeks to destroy the Negro race today is not only an enemy of man, but of God; and not only will not share a character, but even Providence will not overlook the design to break and destroy it. Du Bois tells us that he has been trying to make big Pan-African Congress for six years and that the third session was to be held in November. What is the find? Authentic reports from London state that only eleven people attended the so-called congress, the majority of them white, notwithstanding the published in the "Crisis" about the congress being a sincer False Report The "Crisis" for December carries a news item pertaining London, which is undated, saying: "Successful Congress, Sir Sydney Olsen, Harold Lacy, F. W. W. Gibbs Hunt, Kamba Simango, Bishop Vernon African Cinet, Countries, Six American States, Represented." Du Bois The information received from our representative in London who was to spot to watch the affairs of the congress, stated that only eleven countries were represented and six American States. The congress was supposed to be held two days, and during the two days thirteen persons from different countries domiciled in London but were not elected representatives of those countries to attend the Pan-African Congress may have looked in, but it is to be discovered whether the thirteen countries did not include America twice, with its six States stated in the cable of Du Bois. This is the kind of deception that our so-called leaders are endeavoring to foist upon the people. But how can they fold all the people all of the time? From Du Bois' cable itself we find that the principal speakers were white persons having peculiar ideas about the Negro, especially Sir Sydney Olivier and H. G. Well. Why a Pan-African Congress in such company? The three umboly and is bound to die the death of the untightens. The following is supposed to be a call circular for the holding of the third session of this congress. THE PAN-AFRICAN CONGRESS GRATIEN CANDACE, France President JASON BETON, France Secretary MRS. IDA GIBES HUNT, U.S.A. Members Executive Committee in charge of London Meeting Third Biennial Sessions The Pan-African Congress is an attempt to unite in periodical conference representatives of the main groups of peoples of African descent for purposes FIRST EDITION GOING FAST THE BOOK AND OPINIONS OF SEND FOR YOUR COPY NOW of information and co-operation. It aims to be an open forum of opinion, and it has no connection expressed or implied with other organizations beyond its general object. The Pan-African Congress held its first meeting in Paris in 1919; its second meeting, in 1921, held sessions in London, Brussels and Paris. The present sessions will take place Wednesday and Thursday, November 7 and 8. at 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. at Denison House, London, W. 1. A second session will be held in Lisbon, Portugal, the week beginning November 25. The Programme in London is as follows: Wednesday, 10 A. M.—"History of the Pan-African Movement." Dr. Du Bois. Remarks by Sir Sydney Olivier. Discussions and questions. Wednesday, 7 P. M.—"The Black World at Present." Dr. Du Bois. Remarks by Mr. Kamsay MacDonald, M.P. "The Colored Race and the League of Nations." Mrs. Ida Gibbs. Hunt. Discussion and questions. Thursday, 10 A. M.—"The American Negro." Dr. Du Bois. "Portuguese Angola." Mr. Kamba Simango. Discussions and questions. Thursday, 7 P. M.—"The Future of Pan-Africa." Dr. Du Bois. "Uganda." Dr. John Mcinder. Discussions and questions. Official Statement of the Programme of the Congress. During the sessions remarks are expected by Mr. H. G. Wells, Mr. Harold L. Larke, Mr. J. H. Tawny, and others. It shows in how loose a manner the congress was called and how unprepared it was. The most of the talking was done by Du Bois himself, as the program indicates. A splendid showing for the Pan-African Congress. French Negroes Turn Down Program Mr. Conlace and M. Isaac Beton of France, whose names were pished as president and secretary, respectively, had absolutely nothing to do with the congress in London. They happened to have discovered the intention of F. Bois, and withdrew from the association. Our representative in France stated to us long ago that Du Bois knew beforehand that there would be no congress and that the French wing had lost confidence in him, yet he insisted in advertising a Pan-African Congress, as if Pan-Africa is made up of eleven thirteen countries. All Negroes Should Unite The time it comes for all elements of the Negro race to fight a common battle is the time and not long enough to allow selfish individuals of the race to avoid the problems that arise for the purpose of earning advantages for themselves. The time is not the time of the race. The colonial system in the West Coast of America must be destroyed and it must not be permitted in America, home of the colonies, to the 15,000,000 Negroes in America and the millions of African Americans in the West Coast to look out for and guard themselves against the dangers posed by the Advancement of Colored People. We do not want to allow the Negro, African or Ethiopian to be able to hold power in the head of another fifty years or more. We must be able to control and save to the world. "We are a proud race of people who hold up his head throughout his life." Fight for Good of Race Can't Make Europe Out of Africa have a business what the world is doing, what the world is thinking about, that certain people are up to. The average Negro is the best man he ever knew, and he is going to earn everything and anything that he can make. We might be made for the experience of the time of ours, and well thought of while men will come with the Negro that the time is now for races to meet themselves in independent racial entities in the great power of Europe. We can't make Europe out of Africa and we can't make Africa out of Europe. We can't make Asia out of America and we can't make America out of Asia. Asia and the Negro must stand by them alone; America and the Negro must stand by themselves; Europe and the Negro must stand by themselves; and Africa and the Negro must stand by themselves. Now, let us look at the history of Our Bots and the National Negromen for the Advance of People to the century. We are going to look up and forward, join us, lead us with us, and an emblem to teach the highest thing in the height of ammon progress as any other race. We are going to register our people in the world and leave it on the path of history for all time. I trust no one will regard this in any other light than a desire to see a race of Negroes made up of all kinds, and not a race divided against itself on elements on top, keeping the other element down. This cannot be; it must not be if we must climb, we shall climb together. If we talk, we talk together. With very best wishes for your success, I have the honor to be. Your obedient servant.

Hence it is that tonight they gave an enthusiastic welcome to Hon Dr. A. H. Maloney, former Chaplain-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, who, although removed from active work in the organization by being exalted to the chair of psychology at Willberforce University, is nevertheless untimely championing the cause of the association and the race both with his pen and his tongue wherever he goes in an effort to bring to the attention of the world, especially the world of Negroes—the potency of its principle in molding the destiny of the Negro race and the feasibility of the plans for an African Nation. Speaking on the latter question, in a masterful and elephant speech, Dr. Maloney said the Universal Negro Improvement Association does not intend to take all Negroes back to Africa. Those who say so, he declared, lie and they know they are lying when they say it. But, he added, the association has the Intention—and so long as there is a God on high that intention is bound to be realized—to establish on continent of Africa cities of refuge for the Negro, so that wherever he happens to be, under whatever flag, whether it is the Union Jack of England, the tricolor of France, the flag of Germany, Russia, America or what not, when he is persecuted he shall have a city of refuge to which to go. He enlightened the necessity of work, a pooling of finances and the application of intellectual attainments to being about the advancement and enhancement of the cause. We must work, he said, to make our cities of refuge possible, and when we shall be able to establish on the continent of Africa a place that Latest Styles in High Grade Wrist Watches FREE An extra 18kt. gold-filled wrist bracelet with every watch.

Dr. Maloney's speech was full of the fire of one whose soul is enraptured in the movement and whose every word breathed forth an inspiration that made its impression upon those who heard him. Hon. Marcus Garvey delivered a thoughtful dissertation on "Aristocracy and What It Means." He dwell at length on the false claims to aristocracy which a few certain individuals of the race had set up and were prating about, and stated that the race artist 'aey was baged, not upon the accumulation of wealth through sources that tended to debase and degrade the race, but upon the measure of honorable service that was rendered to a country, a race or a nation. Announcement was made of a farewell meeting to be held in Liberty Hall on December 10 in honor of the departure of a delegation for Africa representing the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the Negro peoples of the world. Following are the speeches: "I want to assure you all it is indeed a pleasure to me to be with you again, for now and then the feeling comes over me that I must need come to the foundation in order to drink of the waters of liberty which will set my heart free and send me out again to preach the cause of Africa's redemption and the liberation of the four hundred millions of us throughout the world. So whether I find myself at Liberty Hall, whenever the opportunity presents itself to me to come here, I always regard it as an extreme pleasure and privilege to look in upon the countenances of these strong, valiant supporters of this great cause and to hear the voice of your matchless leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey. (Applause.) Two.Types "If I were to take a theme tonight—and I did not intend to, because I came rather to listen than to be heard. If I were to select a theme I might speak to you for a few minutes on the matter of the condition of the Negro at the present time in the United States of America. As I go from place to place I observe this fact which, I am satisfied, you will agree with me is correct. I see two things, two types of thought. Hitherto there was only one type of thought. Six or seven years ago there was only one type of thought, just one school of thought and action in this country with respect to our people—the four hundred, the 'blue bloods'; and there was another group that catered to the 'blue bloods', there was another group BAYER Demand The majority of the people were just simply treated by those who regarded themselves as leaders as the politicians treat the majority of the people today. They just simply squeezed from them at election time a vote and made promises never to be fulfilled. That is the kind of attitude that prevailed up to six years ago. But when the Universal Negro Improvement Association came upon the scene it made a distinct line of cleavage in the thought life of our people today, so that we have two distinct types. We have that same old type that is rather looking backward than looking forward, that type that is compacent, self-satisfied, that has no objective in life, that is quite content with its condition. It may be, they have a little means, and because they are satisfied they have absolutely no sympathetic feeling for those who are not satisfied. They are just simply living within their small, squeezed-up shriveled circle. They have, however, a group, a little larger than themselves, a group that is trying to gain the status that they already have, and they are living upon this group as parasites live upon healthy trees. Those who stand in the position of leadership are the parasites living upon those who are trying hard to gain a position and a status for themselves. They are endeavoring to put on respectability. Respectability "Now you know respectability is a thing that cannot be put on. It is inborn. It belongs to the Creator. It came with Him when He came into the world. When we think of putting it on, we think of respectability as the woman puts powder on her face. It can easily be washed off. I am an aristocrat by birth, and any man who is a real man, who has a feeling for mankind is an aristocrat. Do you know there is absolutely no difference between a full-helded democrat and a genuine aristocrat? They are one and the same thing. We cannot put respectability. It is inborn. And this large group is trying to gain a position of respectability, and in trying to gain a position of respectability they are catering to those who they regard already possess it, and they tell the vast majority of our race to go hang. Enemies of the Cause "Now the Universal Negro Improvement Association has come upon the scene and it is calling attention to this fact: that those who are living in compacency, those who are satisfied with their condition, those who have a sort of appearance of respectability, do not represent the Negro race. They are the enemies of the cause. They do not represent the spirit of the awakened Negro, they do not represent the two-fifth century Negro. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is calling attention to the fact that the submerged tenth, those who were beneath the consideration of the others, except when they wanted membership in their organization, that they are the real constructive thinkers of today. The Thinking Element "I dare any man to question my intelligence. Sometimes, you know, they say the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association represent the outsourcing, the lower element, the unthinking element, they represent the ignorance of the race. I tell them they are talking nonsense. They are fools and they do not know it, which makes them worse fools. I dare any man question my intelligence. Let him come and I will laugh him to scorn; let him come and in two minutes—I don't care who he is—I will make him look like a nickel with a hole punched in it. And you of the Universal Negro Improvement Association really today represent the thinking element in the race. Where there is no vision a person perish. The Rising Sun "I want to remind you of your great responsibility, because you have seen the light. I want to remind you you are to be torchbearers to bring the light to those who regard themselves as the respectables in the race. And we are making it possible for men to see the light and to follow in the wake of the light. I see on the horizon a sun rising, and when I question the name of the sun I am told it is the sun of Ethiopia. Rising Ethiopia is bound to find for herself a position similar to the other great peoples of the world, and the Universal Negro Improvement Association is blazing the trail, is pointing men out to this course, that destiny, that God Almighty, intends that the children of Ethiopia shall attain unto. Cities of Refuge "I remember reading somewhere in the Bible, I have forgotten just exactly where, that when the Jews went to the land of Palestine certain cities were provided for them, and those cities were placed at strategic points, some in the north, some in the center and some in the south. These cities were called cities of refuge. When an individual got into trouble, it matters not where he was, if he got into trouble and he was sufficiently fast to find himself in one of these cities of refuge, he dared any man touch him. No man could! touch him in the city of refuge. The Universal Negro Improvement Association does not intend to take all Negroes back to Africa. Those who say so, they lie, and they know they are lying when they say it. It is too foolish. But the U. N. I. A. has the intention, and so long as there is a God on high that intention is bound to be realized, it includes to establish on the continent of Africa cities of refuge for the Negro, so that wherever he happens to be under whatever flag, whether it is the Union Jack of England. land, the tricolor of France, the flag of Germany, Russia, America or what not, which he is persecuted he shall have a city of refuge to which to go. (Applause.) How to Attain "And which of us is so silly and so foolish as not to desire a city of refuge? William Picchen, you remember, declared for that in 1831, and, though he backtracked in 1832, that does not negative or vitiate the idea. We must have a city of refuge, a place to which we can go; and when we have gotten there we can look the world in the face and say, I dare you tamper with my integrity, my citizenship." (Applause.) Now for the attainment of that it means that we must pool or surplus resources, it means that our financial, our moral, our intellectual attainments must be brought to the advancement and the enhancement of this cause. We cannot sit down supinely. We cannot simply shout our way there. We must work day in and day out. We must work to make our cities of refuge possible, and when we shall be able to establish on the continent of Africa a place that shall be a means of security, a haven of rest, a point of reference, a home for our people, it is only then they will receive the courtesy and the consideration that belongs to human beings—cities of refuge for the scattered actions of Ethiopia all over the world, so that they may be able to come home, if they want to, to take refuge there, if they want to. A Positive Program "Is not that a splendid idea? But I tell you there is something more to the U. N. I. A than that. If it was simply that it would be negative and hardly positive. But I think it has a feasible program, an approach that is a positive one. I have seen and you have seen men who are not members of this race of mine' go all over this country and are respected as men, and I ask myself the question. How comes it that so many of us who are born here, so many of us declare we are citizens, so many declare we are full-fledged American.' I was talking to the daughter of a bishop the other day, and she said, I have absolutely no sympathy for Africa, for Negroes.' She said, I am not a Negro; I am an American.' I said, 'You are black as I am.' She said, 'My sympathies' are with America.' 'Are you satisfied?' I said. She said, 'Yes.' I said, 'Can your brother be President of the United States?' And she stopped. 'Answer me.' She said. 'I do not have a brother.' 'But suppose you had one.' I have a brother. When I speak of you and myself I am speaking of the race.' Opportunity "Under the conditions that confront us today, it at all we have any intelligence if at all we are sensible, we realize the fact we are not full-fledged citizens. Now the U. N. I. A. has come upon the scene to give us that which we do not have, namely, the citizenship status that is the equivalent of the citizenship status of any other individual on the face of God's green earth. I have a boy, and I want to tell you I love my boy, and any man who does not love his offspring has no right to have any offspring, and I do not want him to have as hard a time as I am having. I want my boy, if at all he has the intelligence—and he is my boy—I want him if he has the capacity and the ability. I want him to soar to the highest heights. I want him to attain to the full status of a man. I have a friend, a white man, who wants to school with me, and he also has a boy, and sometimes I visit him, and sometimes he visits me, and I look at his boy and I look at my boy, and I feel sad. You know why? Because I see in his boy the possibility of a great statesman, a great ambassador, the possibility of a President of the United States. When I look, my boy my heart falls me, and it is only the idea that has crystallized in the Universal Negro Improvement. A creation that lends me encouragement. I want to feel that my boy, if he is sufficiently capable, can become President of where? Africa. (Aplause). I want him to succeed the Hon. Marus Gavry, (Renewed Aplause). Do it the fourth, ninth, tenth or twentieth, I don't care which, but I want my son and your son to have the ability and the capacity and the privilege and the opportunity of being a President of Africa. And because of that fact do you know what I intend to do? I intend to work every moment of my life to see that this program he put across, and I intend to fight to the death any man who stands up in protest against this organization. A Third Eye "These so-called respectable people remind me of a question put to some boys in a class. It was asked, 'If you had the chance to have a third eye, where would you put it?' Most boys said, 'Behind my back, so that I could see behind.' Some of these so-called respectables are seeing behind. Some of them would put the eye behind their backs and march backward. But there was one who was the real boy. He had the sense of a boy, the vim of a boy, the imagination of a boy. He said, 'If I had an chance I would put it on the tip of this finger, in order that I might put it through a crack and see the baseball game,' (Laughter). That is just exactly what the U. N. I. A. is doing to us. It is giving us a third eye which we can use to peer and pry and finally find our way into the family of nations, so that we can watch the game of diplomacy, the game of statecraft, the game of government-ruling, government-conducting, the game of law-making. The U. N. I. A. is giving us that third eye, and the time is coming when that third eye shall not only pry through the crack but that these app shall have at least in the grandstand to see the game and take an active part in the rooting of the game. The U. N. A. is doing that same thing. Good News to Take Back "So I want to commend you for the splendid spirit you are manifesting. To see this magnificent audience here tonight, to see the wonderful enthusiasm being expressed, to see that your spirits are by no means abated, but that you intend by every indication to carry this program onward and upward. I am proud of you, and when I go back to the western parts I shall be able to carry the news to the other members of the association everywhere that the New York Local is still leading the way, the New York Local is still bearing the torch, the New York Local is still mounting the heights; the New York Local intends to continue to be the spirit, the guide, the inspiration and the ideal of the other many branches of the U. N. I. A. scattered over this continent, over Central America, over South America, the British West Indies and all other West Indian Islands, Europe, Asia, Africa and America. "Like a great big giant the U. N. I. A. has walked the globe. And sometimes I ask myself the question, 'How is it possible that this thing was done?' This man who came absolutely unknown, unheralded, his praises unsing, in the space of four and a half years or five, his name is more spoken of in the chancellories of the nations than any other man on the face of God's green earth. How does it come to pass, as a student of psychology and sociology, the question comes to me that a man out of obscurity could so impress the world that the world has added a new name to the English language, the world is considering Marcus Garvey on every hand. How? Because of the fact that this man is like Elijah of old; he has seen the sign of a man's hand in the skies. Elijah, you remember, called the prophets of Alaband after having shown them that were pregnant and false, he said, 'Come on Alaband, prepare your chariot and gird up your loins and set us out for jeopardy, because 'There is coming a blessen, of God in the form of a shower', 'And how do you know?' 'Because I see the sign of a man's hand in the skies', and wherever you see the sign of a man's hand in the skies you can rest assured that the tempest may rage, the storms and the billows may hurt, the enemies may rise up from everywhere, but they cannot sink that ship, the cannot destroy the movement, they cannot kill that spirit, because it is linked up by the sign of a man's hand in the skies. "This man has his hand linked up with God. God gave this program and man dare not take it away." (Loud applause) HON. MARCUS GARVEY SPEAKS Hon. Marcus Garvey spoke to followers. My mission for tonight was to亚洲和 When It Means I selected the subject for tonight because there seems to be amusing as a people a great deal of misunderstandings about things which should be corrected if as people we are to toward the goal of peace. What Is Aristocracy? To the people of Aristocracy is an well-paid job. There are some of who offer it a good both and pension or little money and both able to put it on good credit. Look into the nation and consider how well you assume and believe that everybody else around. There are some of us who believe that pay out and get some money and set it free and to have it in our possession is to be an asset and better in everybody. Now this is a false notion and a false opinion of aristocracy. Aristocracy Is Distinction Earned By. Service A mastery is a social order or a social distinction within a race or a nation, or a social distinction carried by a person to that race or service to that nation. If there were not something to distinguish an aristocrat from the common man, that somebody would be an aristocrat. Then what is that something? That something is not the liberal possession of wealth, the impersonal possession of wealth, or the unwilling setting of wealth, or the forking of one's self upon the people and assuming the right to be better than everybody else. But this thing called aristocracy, I say, is a distinction carried by service. The individual does not assume the distinction himself, but the distinction is conferred upon the individual by the appreciative care of those who the individual has served. Now that is the Universal Negro Improvement Association's definition of aristocracy. And, last week we heard a lot about aristocracy among the Negroes; and the white folks seem to have made a joke of it that Negroes should show themselves in that kind of way. Those of us who represent the race present the white people or anybody-thinking that the aristocracy of the Negro race are people who 2 TABLETS Every 3 Hours BREAKS THAT COLD Hill's Cascara Bromide Quinine will break your cold in one day.

Nordic supremacy is beginning to find out that it can't take death into its body and have life more abundantly. The leaders of white expansion and arrogancy happened to be "from Northwestern Europe and are now characterized as Nordics." They got the start some four hundred years ago, and, having taken into their physical body some of the blood of all the races of Europe, Asia and Africa, they have just awakened to the fact that they are corrupt within and without, but insist to save their brazen faces by claiming that they are just as pure of blood in the ending as they were in the beginning. We doubt if they were pure of blood in the beginning. We know that they are corrupt in the ending. Israel Zangwill, the outstanding Jewish author of the world, has been telling the American people some truths they do not relish. He finds that we have "more cranks to the square mile than anywhere else under the heavens," we think we are "a country" when we are "a continent." and "America is overgoverned; that is her big fault." Again: "They say America is white and Protestant and must remain so. America is not white now Protestant. There are millions of Catholics, millions of Jews, millions of Negroes here. What do they propose to do—kill them off, disfranchise them, deport them? Of course they haven't thought." Professor Herbert A. Miller, of Oberlin College, writing in the New York World, sticks a two-edged knife clean through the Nordic and 100 per cent. American business, and the whole scheme of white superiority and supremacy. He says: "The present day ideas that have secured great and ominous prevalence are 100 per cent. patriotism and the inherent superiority of Nordic stock. They are undoubtedly the two most dangerous ideas in the world because they threaten to tear the world asunder and to destroy the attainments of civilization. Though both are fundamentally fallacious, they are tinctured with the sanctity of moral and scientific appeal." Again: "Both patriotism and race 'superiority' are primarily the result of the vice of group egotism. Social salvation must come through group conviction of sin. Unless it does come, both the great nations and the white race are face to face with the torments of hell, for pitched battles can result in nothing less." Again: "We turn now to the Nordic problem and find that the same psychological process explains the growing race consciousness. White domination is slipping away and to save it myths are being created.. 'The manifest destiny' of the white race to rule is proclaimed most loudly at the very moment when the colored races are turning against that rule. The Nordics are now losing their leadership and are becoming frantic to prove that it belongs to them." It was a fatal day for the Christian nations when they denied, in the Peace Conference of the Allies, the demand for racial equality made by the Japanese delegates. It has reacted as a declaration of war by the white race on the black and off-color people of the world, and the latter are accepting the declaration everywhere in the spirit of those who made it, and which should have been anticipated, but was not, by "the blind leaders of the blind." THOSE WHO WRITE PROSE AND VERSE FOR THE NEGRO WORLD NO reader of a newspaper can judge by what gets into its columns what is left out. An editor's mail bag is much like a mill into which all sorts of manuscripts come and are ground out, the grist being a very small percentage of the whole. And, we are persuaded, the editor grievous more over the large mass he must reject than he rejoices over the small mass he can use. This is so because the editor, although among the most sympathetic of creatures, and all embracing in his sympathies, must of necessity, be cold and unfreeing in accepting what is good and available and rejecting what is not. The editor of The Negro World appreciates beyond expression the wide-awake interest of members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and others in all parts of the world, who take the trouble to send clippings from their local newspapers, articles and poems. It shows their interest in the race and the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and it helps us all the more intelligently to edit The Negro World, which has come to be regarded as the greatest national and international newspaper the race has. Those who send us prose articles should write only on one side of the paper. They should write legibly, typewritten copy being preferred, with open spacing. They should have one subject and stick to it. And they should not use more than six hundred words to say all they want to, three hundred being a good number to stop at. We can't undertake to return articles we do not use, and if we do not use them it is because of some objection to the subject, treatment or composition. Those who send us verse, and there are many, are advised not to send us any unless they are familiar with the rules of versification. Most that is sent us is faulty because the authors are ignorant of the rules. Poetry is the highest form of expression, and no satisfactory impression will be got if the rules governing the expression are not understood and adhered to. We can correct a faulty sentence or paragraph of prose, but a faulty line or couplet of verse can only be corrected by rewriting it, and we cannot undertake to do that, and the author would not thank us for doing it. But those who write prose or verse for The Negro World should not be discouraged; they should rather be encouraged to master the machinery of prose and verse making, and to keep on coming until they have done so. It is only by so doing can they hope to make the expression in words which works for impression on those they hope to reach and influence.

THE ASSASSIN WHO LIES IS ALWAYS A COWARD of them has come into being. Some of them are suspiciously anonymous. We do not know where they begin or where they end. Most of them are supported by impersonal influences which have axes to grind. Very few of them are paid for their service by the newspapers that use it. Most of them jumble news information and editorial opinion in such a confusing way as to make it difficult to use what is news. The Preston Service is of this character. The New York Amsterdam News carried the Preston News Service last week, the major portion of the service being a brazen insinuation that Mr. Marcus Garvey favors the forcible deportation of the Negro people of the United States. An insinuation like that is common with assassins of the character of their betters. Mr. Garvey happened to speak in Washington the night a lot of crazy white folks waited upon three Negroes who had moved into what is termed "a restricted white district." Mr. Garvey restated his claim that "Africa is for the Africans," if the whites are to possess Europe and the Americas. Out of the address of Mr. Garvey and the most important Preston News Service sharp drew the following assassination conclusion: Thus we have a tragi-comedy enacted in our midst. Tragical —because if a man can be made to quit his home, he can be made to quit his city; and if he can be made to quit his city, he can be made to quit his country. Indicous—because here you have a simon-pure black man, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, a courageous leader, we suppose, at least in the minds of the "citizens" getting "members of the North Washington Citizens" Association, who is ready to "move out" provided the New York Courts do not interfere. When has Mr. Garvey advocated the forcible moving out of Negro people from their homes or their country? When has he justified mob Jaw and advised Negroes to accept without protest and manly resistance any mob action against them? The mob at Washington told the persons it warned to move that "We know the leaders of your own race agree with this proposition." We do not know of one Negro in the United States who would agree to any such mobocratic "proposition." When "The Cameraman" of the Preston Service singles out Mr. Garvey as such a man, when his whole life is a refutation of the insinuation, he writes himself down as an assassin of character with the malicious deliberation of the coward who conceals his identity behind a mask. THE NATION'S "LOGICAL DEFENSE" WE publish on this page of The Negro World today a communication from the Extension Secretary of The Nation and a letter she has sent to the Washington Tribune, drawn out by an article from the latter paper which we reproduced in The Negro World of November 17, headed, "The Right to Vote and the Right to Drink." The Negro World grants and emphasizes all of the fairness and service to the Negro people claimed by the Extension Secretary for The Nation. Far be it from us to minimize the fairness or the service of The Nation or to question the sincerity of its editor, Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard. We should not do so any more than we should minimize the sincerity, the fairness and the service rendered by William Lloyd Garrison, the grandfather of Mr. Villard on his mother's side, in bringing about the freedom of the Negro people in the United States. We could not do that. But the viewpoint and methods of The Nation on the race question are not always the same as those of The Negro World. We have our own viewpoint and methods in dealing with men and measures. Let us see. The Extension Secretary of The Nation, in the letter to the Washington Tribune, among other things, says: "There is no apology 'for Mr. Haid's appeal' for the enforcement of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments' as well as the eighteenth. There is a logical defense of the liberty to enforce one amendment at a time, which is as necessary for the friends of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments as for those of the eighteenth." We are unable to see it from that viewpoint. It is the business of the citizenship and the duty of the courts to accept and enforce all of the articles and articles of amendment of the Constitution at the same time. To sanction the nullification of one, or the violent and fraudulent overriding of one as is done in the case of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments by the entire group of Southern States, is to imperil the force and validity of all the articles and articles of amendment of the Constitution. And that is what has happened by the acquiescence of the nation in the non-enforcement of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments; it has made, enforcement of the eighteenth amendment difficult, if not impossible, upon the theory that if two amendments can be flouted, trampled upon and made of none effect, if in only one section of the country, a third amendment can be treated in like manner in all of the States. The Constitution is no stronger than the weakest article or amendment of the union of the former and the eighteenth of the latter. If one of them can be nullified and made of none effect, logically all of them can be. The Constitution does not function in its parts but as a whole and cannot be violated in any of its parts without impairing the union and effect of the whole.

The "Nation" Replies to Washington Trilogy, Austin, Copied in Negro World; Says It Is Logical to Enforce One Amendment at a Time The Nation, 20 Vesey, street, New York November 20, 1922 You will be interested in the enclosed letter which I have written to the Washington Tribune in connection with their editorial, which you reprinted in your edition of Saturday. As a matter of courtesy and fair play, I hope you will give it space in your column: Very truly yours, MARIAN TYLER Extension Secretary. The following is the letter of The Nation addressed to the Editor of the Washington Tribune: Dear Sir: "We were interested to see your editorial on Mr. Hard's recent article, "White, Protestant and Dry," as reprinted in The Negro World on November 17. Your conclusions from The Nation's editorial, comment, however, are rather unfair. There is no apology "for Mr. Hard's appeal for the enforcement of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments as well as the eighteenth." There is a topical defense of the liberty to enforce one amendment at a time, which is as necessary for the friends of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments as for those of the eighteenth. From the days of the Civil War, The Nation has stood unequivocally for racial equality and enforcement of the Constitution. Because of this policy The Nation has made thousands of enemies in the South, and lost a great deal of revenue. The Nation initiated the protest against the exploitation of Negro Haiti. It protests against every kind of discrimination, by some of the finest writers on Negro questions, have been copied by the Negro press throughout the country. Clement Wood's article on Alabama, for which The Nation secured book publication in the volume "These United States," was the frankest and most courageous discussion of the problem of miscegenation ever printed. William Picken's article, "Jim Croys in Texas," has brought country-wide attention to the disgraceful conditions on Southern railroads. It is unfair to The Nation and your readera if you let them get the impression that we are anything but wholeheartedly in sympathy with every step toward complete equality of opportunity. I hope that in justice to your own race and to all its champions you will make this clear. Very truly yours. Extension Secretary. FIGHTING THE WHITE PLAGUE The Harlem Tuberculosis Committee of the New York Tuberculosis Association has moved to the new home of the Urban League, at 202 West 136th street, according to an announcement issued by Mrs. Mabel D Keaton, secretary of the committee. The Health Information Bureau, which was established by the committee on a permanent basis last year, is attractively situated on the ground floor at its new location. The bureau has been temporarily located at the Abysma Community House, 132 West 138th street. The Health Information Bureau gave personal service to 1,062 persons from August 1, 1922, to July 31, 1923, giving information and advice and answering both telephone and personal questions. The Harlem Tuberculosis Committee, which was organized in 1922 by Harlem citizens upon the invitation of the New York Urban League and the New York Tuberculosis Association, has been conducting an active local campaign for the last year against tuberculosis in Harlem. The main emphasis in the work has been preventive and educational. It has served in the capacity of a connecting link between the public health resources of the city and community, the volunteer and professional services of physicians, the interest of local laymen and the general population of Harlem. Dr. James Alexander Miller, president of the New York Tuberculosis Association, in a recent statement attributed the success so far achieved by the Health Information Bureau and the work of the Harlem Tuberculosis Committee to the splendid efforts of the committee and to the universal cooperation received from physicians, clubs, churches, and other organizations in the community. The activities of the Harlem Tuberculosis Committee, which are steadily growing, are supported by the sale of Christmas Seals. Mr. Garvey Captured Critical Louisvillian (From the Louisville Leader) Marcus Carvey, the much-talked-about man, has been here and gone. The people of Louisville are a very papular people.

I have got the degree of his personal acquaintance, and I am interested to learn that a reader of The Negro World has sound a solution of the problem which many of us still believe in as unbelievable as it was when it was first developed. I take it that the writer is a young man who is yet to be disillusioned. The letter follows: Mr. J. E. Bruce. Dear Sir: I am a constant reader, of The Negro World and have always enjoyed reading your column. In reading your article on citizenship in the issue of September 12, I and much that might be interpreted as merely the principles and propaganda of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The Negro as a citizen of the United States has all the rights and privileges enjoyed by the other citizens of Caucasian birth. He has only to assert, his rights to them. Instead of possessing himself of what is rightfully his, the Negro has been cringing and begging. No one respects a beggar. Let us stop begging and o about taking what we want. Let us stong crining, and stand "four square" to the world. Let us look conditions in the face and become "go-getter". Let us better our conditions here, that we may be in a position, to better conditions abroad, "Charity begins at home". Let us stop wondering, what the city, State and national governments are, going to, to do for us, and make them do, for we are a part of them. The races who are the acknowledged leaders of the world attained their position through the might of sword and brain. When the Pilgrims came to this country they suffered untold hardships, and because they were men in every sense of the word, they survived and accomplished their purpose. They had initiative. This is a trait which the Negro must cultivate if he is to take his place in the affairs of the universe. Yet, the lack of initiative is not the lack of citizenship. It is rather the lack of a realization of the Negro's power as a citizen. The will to do for one's self and race must be cultivated, also more race pride, more race unity. Let us be more courteous, more partial to our own race and more faithful to one another. Yours truly. GEORGE A. LATIMER. 202 West 148th Street. New York City, Nov. 23, 1923. Mr. Lalimer, like a good many others, I fear, has failed to make an intensive study of the psychology of the dominant and gallant race in this country, and to learn therefrom that his solution of the problem is unpracticable and impossible. The Negro does not possess, as he admits, all the We have done some stepping since "Uncle Abe" made us, we certainly have, and no telling what qur speed would have been if all of us had just stepped together—Tampa (Fla.) Bullet- Whatever might be the feeling on Mr. Underwood's position respecting secret orders, this is the one to be followed by every statesman and certainly a majority of the administrators of the law, if our nation is to remain substantial and progressive. Any other position indicates destruction and a collapse of our government. There is far too much disregard and disrespect for the law in our Southern communities. Our people need to be taught more of the fundamental principles of government, the rights of men and citizens. We cannot as a nation, after years of struggle and toil, prosperity and goodwill, try a secret form of operation. It is but a trilist, and an expensive one. It means chaos, troubles of all sorts, lack of confidence and the creation of disrespect for men and races. Our Constitution is sufficient, our laws are an aplenty—Birmingham (Aln.) Reporter. The trouble with a multitude of people today is they are ever looking for a principally chance of acquiring riches or fame or wealth. We are dazzled by what Emerson calls the "shallow Americanism" of today. We are expecting mastery without apprenticeship, knowledge without study and riches by credit. precedent, received by an audience that has never been equated by any two of the most outstanding leaders of the race of America since our sojourn here. And regardless of what others may think of the President-General of the Universal Improvement Association in other cities, Louisvillians have now seen and heard Garvey, and are in a position to form their own opinion, and that is something more than ridicule and disrespect of him. It is honor and respect, an appreciation of his intelligence, his courage, his vision, his earnestness, his fervid magnetism and his great convincing power. Two thousand people of color, with a white face here and there, were there, many out of curiosity, others to have more criticism to offer, few as admirers and supporters of the man, but after such an obsession of facts and figures, hooked up with imperative thought and reason, expounded with a monochrome elegance, all accustomed his program and his great man. Whether Marcus Garvey has made a mistake in his business program is not the topic of today in Louisville, neither is it about his guilt or innocence of fraud, but about the sincerity of his purpose, his interest in the absolute emancipation of black peoples throughout the world. About how he has been misquoted and misinterpreted, Garvey is entitled to a hearing from black people whatever he goes. He got it here and of a hearing manner. figures and privileges of American citizenship except on paper, and he is in no position to demand the enforcement of the constitutional guarantees. If he is a full-fledged American citizen, why is it necessary for him to organize to demand recognition, which Mr. Latimer asserts he already enjoys? There can be no conflict between equals as to the right of either to enjoy what is equally their own. The propaganda of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, to which I cheerfully admit I am unlawfully committed, is opposed to the assumption that a man is a citizen of any country, who does 'actually not enjoy the full right of his alleged citizenship. Whenever he is called on to fight for his rights of citizenship, it is pretty good evidence that his title is cloudy, despite the fact that the constitution says that he is a citizen and the equal of any other citizen. The power that awards him citizenship should be sufficiently potential to protect him in the exercise of his right of citizenship. But is it? Does it? Up to date the National Government has not given its Negro citizens a demonstration of its power or of its good intentions in this respect by making either a gesture or a declaration of its purpose to enforce the laws by appropriate legislation, by which the citizenship of the Negro will be made as secure and effective as that of the white man. It is not the business of the Negro to resort to Mr. Latimer's plan and become "go-getters." That, of course, is easily said; but its practical application will be found to be somewhat difficult of accomplishment. The other highfalutin language employed by my correspondent to show the Negro how easy it is to possess himself of all his rights, etc., in as Mr. Bert Williams used to say, "All talk; dat's all." Mr. Latimer is either a very young and inexperienced man, or a native of one of the islands, where this kind of thinking and talking is induged in by some with regard to conditions in the United States. Let Mr. Latimer turn "go-getter" and try out some of the advice contained in his letter, and he will discover that what he advises is easier said than done. I still maintain that the Negro, being of a non-assimilable race, is not a full-fedged citizen of the United States; never has been and never will be. In America it is still true that: Arnought's a nought, A figger's a figger, All for the white man All for the white man And nothing for the "Nigger." Any Negro who attempts to put into execution the Latter restraint and not be long in discovering his mistake. Because the politician acquires power by bribing the caucasus influence by standing in with the divekeeper, wealth by fraud, and immunity from conviction by packing the jury, we are conceived into looking at life through a distorted lens. These are opportunities to be shunned like the cholera. They appear to rest upon a solid foundation, but they lead to infamy and crime and harmfulness to mankind and sometimes suicide—Western Appeal. President Coolidge, if he was unfamiliar with the troubles and problems of his colored constituents, has by this time had an earful or two, for every few days a delegation of colored men and women call at the White house and tell him in no uncertain terms the trouble the race experiences as the result of the infringements of citizenship rights and the many discriminations handed to us. The President may have some silent hours of reflection to give us many reliefs sought. If he does we will say in one accord: "All Hall Silent Cal, he has solved our problems."—East Tennessee News. All organizations must co-operate for the purpose of securing respect for the race. Every individual right for justice must be a race fight. Those who suffer for their stand should remember that all just causes have their marriages. Some must suffer in order that those coming after them may have a peaceful and happy place in which to live.—Northwestern Bulletin. 135TH ST.

DREAM DAYS IN SUNNY GOLD COAST TOURING THE BEAUTIFUL LAND IN A FORD FLIVVER CAR Mining of Cocoa Most Profitable—Essentially the Black Man's Land—Jimboy, the Ashanti Chauffeur, Strictly on the Job-A Dance and Such Music-Epidemic of Suicides By J. M. Stuart-Young Author of "Chips, from West Africa," "Meelys Negrass," "The Soul Slayer," etc. There is far more hustle on the Gold Coast than anywhere else in West Africa. Yet it remains essentially a land of promise, rather than a country of achievement. The Negro's watchword is still one of "tomorrow!" Apart from being the one El Dorado that has supplied during several generations, the Gulf of Guinea is the centre of the world's largest cocoa supply, a region that abounds in opportunities for the acquisition of wealth. It is essentially, however, black managers. It may never be colonized by white folk. There are small native landowners here, who hang on by the very eyelashes to their hereditary rights, insmith as they never know the hour that gold may be found in the vienna of their holdings. Meanwhile, the farming of cocoa is infinitely more lucrative than the cultivation of the palm, despite that tropical trees liberal gifts of edible oil. Cocoa returns more profit per hour than any known West African product; hence this portion of the coast has suffered heavily from deforestation. In more than one public speech, the present governor, Sir Frederick Gugginsberg, has warned, Gold Coastians that they have erred in thus placing all their eggs inside one basket. I have been touching at Gulf of Gambia ports for over twenty years. But a knowledge of the interior was still far to seek. It was from me, therefore, emulated the suggestion of a motor tour along the foreshore. The notion was cordially received by my two fellow-passengers on board the Dutch steamer Pedestra. My plan did, indeed, seem feasible. We had, already taken a fortnight to coast from French Saincambia to the last of the Liberian ports. Going ashore at Anmine (the last of the French Ivory coast ports), a modest party of three, my idea was to cover by car as much of Gold Coast territory as was practicable, inside a full week of leisure. If the facts proved propitious, and we could obtain reliable relays of the ever-popular "fillyor," we might at last obtain something more satisfying than the usual casual peeps afforded by steamer passages, at the numerous 633 East Sixth Street, Cincinnati, Ohio.

We might need to deviate infant a score or two of miles, whenever we met a large river: 'Either we could take the car across, or we could abandon the one in use, and then hire another. The captain "guessed" that we might rejoin the steamer at Aome, which is the capital of the ex-German colony, to the south of the Gold Coast littoral. After being embroiled, cabined and confined inside a three-thousand ton cargo-boat for nearly a calendar month, the prospect of seven days and nights of liberty on shore was distinctly fascinating. We felt like three schoolboys unexpectedly released from tellious lessons. Moreover, as the Pedestra had still to call at over a dozen ports, and to spend the greater part of a day at each, before reaching Toulouse, we knew that our Dutch mentor, had not been untidy liberal in his estimate of time. So we carried with us only the necessary two or three changes of underwear, toilet accessories, and a single case of provisions. The food consisted mainly of milk, butter and flour. We well knew that money would be so acceptable, even in the chest of the Bush, and that a modest few pounds sterling would readily see us through our enterprise. Our first tilt bille was a typical old Ford. It consisted of more noise than energy, and its springs were far from being up to the mark. The driver, however, compensated for the car's shortcomings. He was a story and merry-faced Negro of middle age from Ashanti, and soon proved himself a past master of the Ford's crude anatomy. He gave his name as James Boyce; and this we promptly abbreviated to Jimboy. By this title he was known throughout our escapade. During that first day there were more break-down than were really pleasant. But the chauffeur took them all in such good humor, that the interruptions to progress imperceptibly became subject for jest. There were many unneeded rests and pow-wows at the side of the road. We three passengers were able to bring forth sundry bottles of oil and beer thought in the town of Aslille, ere we started; or our Thermos flask of ice coffee, and then lounge beneath the shade of a coconut grove. The weather was delightful, the end of the rainy season, when the air is fresh and cool and sweet. Flies chirped blithely; butterflies fitted like gaudily-colored threads of silk through the green, mesh of the foliage. The white road, its surface lightly metallized, wound in and out, up and down, but generally within a very few miles of the enclosed-tinted sea. Overhead shone the top sun of a golden mid-Septerm. Our first night was spent at Half Asshit. This is British tenor, although Asshit proper is French. We had not yet accomplished much in the way of distance. But Jumby Claimed that he was "just beginner" to understand the lyre muscles of the ear, and he promised us a clean hundred miles spin away, to the interior on the morrow, curling downward. In the direction of Aixin, toward Evening. Soon we touched at a charming little down called Attainte, and then the road seemed to take heart of grace, and to run fairly level for a few miles. But suddenly it began to climb and climb. By noon we had a panoramic view that was well worth journeying to see. Mr. Newchum, a young man in the early twenties, and trailing his maiden visit to the coast, commented upon the cinema-like effect of the somber, Novadayz everything is seen through the medium of the movies: Love, romance, adventure, even death itself. It was just as though an endless red reed was being masslessly unfolded before our uncurtained gaze. The third of our party, Mr. Oldenaster, snorted in dexion of my explanations of delight, and said that he had seen far better effects on a tippery colored postcard. But he was immensely interested in the cocoa farms through which we passed, and openly deplored that the Negroes of Nigeria, toward which colony he was traveling, did not take "anything like so much palin," with either preparation of the soil or preservation of the beans. We stayed in one village over an hour, to watch the process of fermentation. Duly and patronizingly we admired the patience, energy and skill with which the whole family (man, woman, boys and girls) and even tiny toddlers), attended to their work. The sun was beginning to set in crimson splendor as we descended to the beach. But our place of rest for the sight could not be reached for some time, as we all needed a bath and a change of clothing. So the car sped along at about fifteen miles an hour, while the dusk gathered inward from the sea. The small villages through which we passed seemed to be wholly devoided to fishing. Pine trees, large enough to hold buildings, drew position, lay on the sand, most of them richly decorated in a variety of embroideries. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1922 desphas. Stalwart Negros, stripped to the joins, scabbed vigorously both sides of the wood, with sand and grass. On the wide expanse of golden beach we could see younger four bushy occupied with the mending of nets. In the doorways of the ramshackle houses, pot-bellied babies, quite naked, staggered happily and to fro; while older children danced a saraband or chased each other in and out of the surf. Tall-coiffed women, their billocks of hair wrapped from slight in swathes of gaudy alk, bent rhythmically over fou-fou bowls. Sometimes a large-eyed child would be precariously suspended on the mother's back, its tiny head cuddled within the hollow between her dusky shoulders. We alighted in the last village and went to just such a typical hut for a rest. The fisherman made us very welcome, while the woman continued her preparation of the evening meal. As she thrust backwards and forwards over the hollowed receptacle, the wooden pounder rising and falling with the precision of a piston, it was comical to see the child's head swaying to the movement. One had fears for its safety until one realized how harmless the whole procedure was in actual fact. We obtained necessary supplies of water and enjoyed our abutions behind the hut. Meanwhile the baby had been laid upon the ground, while the mother flipped to and fro attending to our needs of food. Judging from the little one's howls of remembrance and discontent it would have prefereed the pendulum-like movement high in the air to the temporary security of terrp flung. After re-dressing we accepted each a portion of foufou and a modest quantum of peppersoup from the woman, in recompense of the shilling which she was otherwise reluctant to accept. I, for one, enjoyed the slight repast, and voted it splendidly cooked. This method of boating the inbittious tuber of the Coast (yam or cassava; boiled to the consistency of our familiar potato), is known everywhere in the tropics. It is indubitably the best manner of making such a constipating diet easily digested. For natives, who live on practically nothing beyond fish, fruit, sturgeon vegetables and doubtfully clean water, it will readily be conceded by the reader that variety does not make the spice of life. Against such uniformity of diet there appears little chance of digestive adaptability, the adaptability exemplified by the Harrow boy of anecdotage. He rushed, one broiling summer's day, where youth in crowds were clamoring for attention during the interval between matches to the counter of the refreshment pavilion. "Strawberries and 'ream!' he demanded. "Sorry! Sold out!" "Right-o! Give me a large liver and bacon, instead!" Twice on the following day we met herds of cattle, wildeyed and gaunt, on their way to the nearest market. There would be a breathless moment of suspense, before our car zig-zagged its way through the phalanx of threaten-horns and hoisterous hooves. At only one place did we encounter any shadow of inhospitality. This was at a small government station below Seccoueade (in modern spelling, Seckond). No hungalow had hoved in sight for many miles, until we suddenly encountered a small rest house. As there was no ostensible occupant we considered ourselves justified in using the place to cook a mid-day snack, and to enjoy a sesta. In the midst of our fun, however, a Brass Hat arrived from the unknown. He was followed by a long cortege of servants, bearing his camp kit, cooking utensils and trunks, the dismaving hare and penalties of the very youthful official, who likes to throw his weight about. Had he been a man of longer const experience he would indubitably have (kruffy), but heartily) invited us to share pot help with him and to make ourselves at home for a period. Before we parted we might have discussed with him all known creation—from London to Largs, from New York to New Zealand and from Trinidad to Timbuco. Instead of the anticipated Walt Whitmanism, however, there were distinct frowns. We were likely and politely invited to vamoose on the ground, that "the rest house is only at the disposal of casual travelers when not needed by the government, and, after a formal application has been made to the nearest district office." We lost no time in pursuing the even tenor of our way. Our sleeps that afternoon was enjoyed in the shade of the car, with an improvised canopy, mido from a torn tarpaulin and our crumpled and travel-worn "Macs." Between Axim and Sekondi there were numerous trees, in full blossom with flame of the forest. The scarlet leaves lay on the ground like a carpet of velvet. And the wide branches, so walthily reminiscent of the Oriental willow, fervently interlaced overhead, with their sweet-hate of red against the rich harmonies of blue in the sky, seemed to evoke "thoughts that do lie too deep for tears." Oh! the wonder and glory, of the flower that we know as Pride of Barbados, Flame of the Forest and Bush Jewel! Is there any superlative in our cold English tongue that can possibly overate its enchantment? Night had now fallen. We knew full well that we should meet plenty of Europeans in Sekondi, because it is the base of the railway. Passengers, both outward and homeward, are always to be found in the hotel. In the period that lay behind us, since the Pedestra's siren had blared forth its au revouir, et bon voyage, we had not only about a score of other cars. We had not too frequently been able to make these gestures. Larges there had been in greater number. The rapidity advancing Gold Coast has recently disowned head transport. Its period of "tolting" or carrying loads on the head is nearly over. After Sekondi, and on both sides of Aocra, we anticipated meeting motor lorries by the hundred, conveying bagged cocoa to the shipping depots. Meanwhile, such cars as we had encountered belonged to "itinerating" farmers and planters. During the cocoa season, the larger landowner does a fair amount of travel. Generally his entire family accompanies him. In these parties it was easy to discern father and mother, an aged or two aged parents on one side or the other, and half a dozen happy kiddies. All were well dressed and amply provided with food. Grandmamma seemed eternally to be offering bonne-bouches to the little ones. Contentment was the keynote of the whole group. On the Gold Coast one is impressed at every turn by the fact that the family is a real social factor. The Fantee, Acra or Ashanti does well to speak of "family", lands, and to cultivate the local "stool" of chicotainship. Children here are privileged persons. Nest-eggs are waiting for practically overly one of them, no matter whether father owns one, ten, a hundred or a thousand acres of farm land. (To be continued) (Lincoln Service.) PORT AU PRINCE.—In marked contrast to the conditions prevailing in the majority of islands of the West Indies and the Latin-American countries of Central America, the end of the fiscal year in Haiti, which is under temporary American control, shows gratifying and substantial progress. The fiscal year that closed on September 30, according to the annual report submitted by the American high commissioner to Haiti, showed a total income of $6,496,889 from the collection of customs and internal revenues, on an increase of $1,195,998 over the previous fiscal year. Haiti is essentially an agricultural country. Because of marvelous fertility of the soil and the ideal climatic conditions, anything with life in it will grow. It has been reported by those who have investigated the agricultural possibilities of Haiti that shrubs and small trees shoot up out of the walls of ruined buildings, nourished only by mortar between the bricks, the Air, and dew, and the rain; that a riot of vegetation is seen in the un cultivated portions of the country, and that persecuted fields are speedily covered with a thick growth of tropical verdure. All tropical fruits flourish—the orange, the shaddock, the pineapple, the mango, the alligator pear, the plantain, and the fig banana. It is claimed that Haiti is one of the best banana countries in the tropics. Although Haitian cotton brings a much higher price on the European market than ordinary cotton, the cultivation of this plant has been sadly neglected. Sugar cane flourishes whether it is cultivated or not, and grows on almost indefinitely without being replanted, reproducing itself year after year. The great staple product of Haiti is coffee. It supplies the bulk of the revenues of the government and the measure demands of the simple pennantry, which constitutes about 95 percent of the population. Women and children gather it and take it to the soup tents on their heads and the backs of burros. Although an effort is now being made by the American Government to make a market for this coffee in the United States, practically all of it is shipped to European countries. The cultivation of coffee, however, not unlike cotton, has been greatly neglected by the natives, except in small patches around the cottages. Most of the crop is the result of the reproduction from fallen berries, and the crop has varied from year to year only through influences like a variation in rainfall. Since the American Intervention in 1915 there has been a revival in agricultural pursuits and a careful survey has been made of the need of agricultural instruction. Highways are being constructed and reforms established that will rapidly develop Haiti morally, socially, politically and economically. According to the select committee that made an inquiry into the American occupation and administration of Haiti and the Dominican Republic, sew of the Haitians had ever seen a plow before the American intervention. The peasant class had never seen and did not know how to use a shovel, and when a load of road-building machinery, including six wheeled barrows, was docked, the natives carried them on their heads instead of wheeling them to the place where the roadbuilding was in progress. There can be no question as to the benefit to Haiti of a temporary American occupation. With the development of her natural resources, with the establishment of thoroughly equipped public schools, with the revival of agricultural pursuits, the building of a railroad, the construction of hospitals and the suppression of the revolutionary proponents of the political leaders. Haiti will eventually be the garden spot of our Western occupation. Subject: "An Old Persian Law Operant Still" Sertio: Hale Hale (Continued) Text: Ether IV: 3 (Concluded). IV. This statute of ancient Persia meant "Denial of Sucor to the Needy." Surely his afflicted subject had a primary claim upon the kings. But the black-robed man keep clear of the court. "None might enter the king's gate clothed with sackcloth." It was equivalent to saying, "No sucor for the needy here." We too often make a similar denial, not always in words, not even intentionally, but practically. If no help was to be of the king, where in ancient Persia could the sorrowful go. And if we who profess to serve Christ do not give asylum to the sons of want, where may they expect to find "surcease of sorrow"? Do not drive away from your gate those who are clothed with sackcloth. Better be deceived in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred that ask your help than spurn one case of real necessity. Paul wrote of Phoebe as "A succourer of many and of myself also." O. that we might merit similar description! If those clothed in sacrilege be our fellow-Christians, be specially careful to succor them. Paul helped "the poor saints," and so must we. Christ served men, and so must we. True liberty is in self-renouncing service. V. This Persian impost represents "A Vain Effort After Happiness." The one idea of the king was his personal happiness. Necessity mattered not to him. Conscience was nothing to him. Humanity he needed not. Happiness he must have, and it would overcast his gladness to have those who were clothed with sackcloth in his palace. All that menaces happiness must rigorously be banned. What expedients men adopt today to secure happiness! The expedients are as ineffectual as those of King Ahasuerus. He did not succeed in finding real happiness, nor can anyone who today seeks it by such methods. Happiness is not the chief end of life. *Ahauserus thought it was*, and many in our day are possessed of his sophisticated idea. Character is infinitely more than happiness, and character is life's destined end. Knowledge is greater than happiness. Self-sacrifice is nobler far than happiness. Let none set his heart on mere happiness as the goal of life. He who seeks happiness for its own sake will never find it. The fitting epitaph for every happiness-hunter is "Thou fool." The Persian monarch's effort after happiness was vain because he sought it in outward things. He aimed to secure happiness by happy surroundings. None clothed with sackcloth may loom upon his laughing eyes. But the error was great! You may banish all sad appearances and yet have no true happiness. It is not in the visible to give real joy. Socrates was derided because he said he did not know whether the King of Persia was happy because he did not know his character. But Socrates in that saying touched the very spring of happiness. Appearances are proverbially deceitful, and they are specially so in regard of happiness. It is not what I have, but what I am, which makes me happy. Character determines permanent happiness. There is an old Italian proverb to the effect that we need not live on the Plaza to enjoy the sunshine. Certainly we need not live in superb conditions of life in order to realize true happiness. Are we making the mistake of the Persian king? If we have found our salvation in Christ, we may have sackcloth before our eyes, but our joy shall be full and everlasting. There may be men clothed with sackcloth within our gates, but those gates shall be praise. VL The debarring of those clothes with sackcloth from entering the king's gate is a hint concerning the perversion of institutions. It was a gross abuse of the royal palace. The king's gate should have been a sanctuary for the distressed, but instead of that, it was a haunt of luxury. Institutions are not infrequently thus perverted. What is meant for all is reserved for a few. Where there should be general hospitality there is the carnival of a privileged clique. All great institutions have been so debased. Homes have. Our houses are often scenes of selfish pleasure when they should be temples of safety and consolation for the troubled. States have been repeatedly perverted. They should be enormous ameliorative and philanthropic forces; yet, they often refuse to do the works of mercy the people' need. I rejoice in recent suggestions of State aid for the industrious and aged poor.

We set up class distinction with far less warrant than the pagan Kings of Persia had. Alas, the gate of the sanctuary is not always freely open to the man clothed with sackcloth. Still, as in James' day, "off raiment" has the preference. We should facilitate the entry of those who are clothed with sackcloth. When the Saviour was incarnate here He gave more tender attention to the man clothed in sackcloth than to him who wore gay apparel. Do thou likewise. God save us from perverting the church. Let it answer God's eternal purpose that it should be the home of the lonely, the poor, the sorrowful, and the city of refuge for all who desire the great salvation. May the church's duty be its delight. VII. In this edict of ancient Persia, I see also "The Folly of Perpetuating Unworthy Laws." Doubless Ahasuerus was—not responsible for the existence of this heartless law. The law of the Persians changed not, and the stagnant water often stank. Ahasuerus was responsible, however, for maintaining this invidious law. He found it, but he need not have left it to his successors. How absurd to perpetuate such a law! The world has had a trick of doing this, and too often the church has acquiesced in it. Judge laws by their fruits, and let them be abolished if unworthy. Plants our heavenly Father hath not planted must be rooted up, What a curse are ignoble laws! Do not let us buttress laws which make it difficult to do right and easy to do wrong. Do not let us perpetuate venerable abuses, for venerableness is not necessarily a virtue. No legislation should abide which prevents the establishment of the good and the right. And now let me apply this old Persian law, which, as we have seen, is operant still. There is the king's gate which is open to all who are clothed with sackcloth. Jesus, the King of Kings, welcomes all god and sorrowing souls. Let such ever hasten to His gate. Sackcloth is the penitent's dress. O. penitent, if thou comest to the King's gate thou shalt enter in, despite thy sackcloth!

We shall come to it one of these days. Clothed with the sackcloth of earth's sins and sorrow, we shall be received at the gates of pearl. We shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. Blessed gates! By faith they flash upon us now. When we enter those gates the King will greet us, and, removing our sackcloth with His own nail-plered hands, He will clothe us "with scarlet and other delights." Don't be a beggar of life. Stand up.

Queens Mall Order House O. JAMAICA, N.Y. LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY The Secretary-General, Sir R. L. Poston conducted a fourteen-day campaign in this division which was successful in adding several new members and in increasing and improving the financial condition of the local Mr. Poston brought new hope and enthusiasm to the Negroes of the city of Louisville. During his stay he visited, also, with the secretary of the local several churches, schools, and many other places where the pastors and principals gave him the opportunity to explain the objects and aims of the U. N. I. A. The members pledged themselves to remain faithful to the association and to assist in every way possible our worthy president, Dr. W. Rattiff. At the close of the meeting a banquet was given in honor of the Secretary-General by the lady president. Immediately following the visit of the Secretary-General we had with us the Hon. Marcus Garvey, who spoke at the Jefferson, County Armory before an audience of several thousand, who came from all parts to hear our matchless leader, President Ware, of Cincinnati, came over and brought with him a strong force of 85 Legions and Black Cross nurses and took a prominent part in the parade which was led by the Western Union Band from the Liberty Hall to the armory. After the opening of the meeting several addresses were delivered by distinguished visitors who were specially invited to the meeting. Among the visitors were Dr. C. H. Paris, the Rev. A. J. Dodd, L. Willis-Cole, editor of the "Leader." The Hon. Marcus Garvey was presented to the audience by Dr. Rattif. When Mr. Garvey came forward he was received with thunderous and prolonged applause. He delivered one of the most inspiring addresses we have had the pleasure of listening to. Several ministers and professional men who were on the plr form said that the program of the association had been misunderstood and that no race conscious Negro could fail to support such an association. Several of the prominent Negroes who were invited to speak were unable to do so as Mr. Garvey had to leave on the next train. The Hon. Marcus Garvey has made a great impression on the race in Louisville. Prejudice Growing In the French Kongo Paris, Nov. 15—Rene Maran, a state employee in the Kongo, has just arrived for a series of lectures in which he will plead for better fellowship between blacks and whites, that French prestige in Africa may not vanish. Maran host your attracted attention by winning the Gomoutl prize with his novel "Datoutl," where in he described with remarkable precision the native traditions and culture. Assigned by the colonial ministry to study conditions in the Kongo, he now complains that the government's white employees, as a result of contact with their British and American colleagues, are beginning to treat even educated Negroes as inferiors, restaurants refusing to serve them at the same tables with whites, and railways not allowing them to enter carriages until all white Frenchmen are seated comfortably—New York Heald.

CAMAGUEY, CUBA The members of the Camagüey division are devoting much time and energy to the training of the boys and girls. They realise only too well that Africa may never be redeemed by the present generation and in order to hasten the day they believe in training the children in the principles of the U. N. I. A. so that they will be ready to take their places in the great struggle. Sunday afternoon was given to the juveniles, who were responsible for the program, and they certainly rendered a varied and an interesting one. The program was as follows: Song, "We Gather in the Children," by juveniles; opening address, Stanley Becert; recitation, Francis Asher; song, by juveniles; recitation by Irus Angus; several other songs, recitations and addresses were rendered by the juveniles and visitors. The meeting was brought to a close after an address by the president. TORONTO, CANADA The Toronto division had its usual mass meeting on November 11, which was opened in the regular way. The speeches delivered were of a high order and inspiring. Mrs. Robinson said that she was proud to be living in the era which witnessed, the sending of a deliverer to this raid and the beginning of the great work of redeeming a continent and uplifting a people, and it should be the duty of every true Negro to support the program of the U. N. I. A. The next speaker, the Rev. Mr. Henderson, also spoke encouragingly on the subject. Mrs. M. E. Anderson in the course of her address said that, although she was a member of the A. M. E. Church, she did not find it contrary to the rules of her denomination to be a loyal supporter of any organization which was working for the uplifting of this race of ours. The music was up to its usual standard. The meeting closed with the singing of the national anthem. PRICHARD, ALA. Judging from the reports which reach us from Prichard Division, Garviesism is making a rapid sweep in the community and planting itself firmly in the hearts of all manly Negroes. A most enthusiastic meeting was staged on November 11, when a large crowd gathered to enjoy the beautiful program which was prepared, for them. Prichard has always been lucky in obtaining the services of willing members of the race to contribute to the program, and on this occasion they had with them the Bettel Quartet of South Mobile and the Union Star Quartet of Plateau. The selections rendered by the above-mentioned quartets are worthy of special mention, on account of the harmony and expression with which they were rendered. The audience applauded each number heartily and also enriched several others. The lesson of the day was read by the president and was followed by a few remarks by Mr. J. J. Thomas, Mr. Thomas scored the ministers who were keeping their members in darkness, preventing them from seeing the light of racial consciousness. A recitation was then given by Miss Zubelin Lemon, which will be sent to the Negro World for publication. Several visitors were introduced and delivered interesting addresses, after which the meeting was brought to a close with the singing of the anthem. DANVILLE, ILL. The DaVille Division of the U. N. T. A. is about to put on a two weeks' membership drive. Up to the present the drive has been very successful and we are enrolling new members every day, and a few of the old members who had fallen out of line are once more entering into the ranks. We have held interesting mass meetings, which have been well attended. Our ex-chaplain has been a tower of strength in these meetings, and his eloquence has drawn many into the fold. MITCHELL BARNES.

After several weeks of thorough preparation for the unveiling of our charter we were well repaid by the enthusiasm exhibited and the support given to us by the members and friend of the chapter. Invitations were issued to...the District Commander of the U. S. M. C. the Dominican Civil Governor and many friends and members of secret societies. At about 1.15 p. m. the meeting was opened by the president with the singing of the processional hymn, "Shine On, Eternal Light." This was sung by the audience, with the robed choir marching up the right corridor of the theatre, led by Chaplains' Thomas and Thwaites, also robed, of Division No. 26 and Chapter No. 53, respectively; then in order of their respective offices followed the male and female officers of the chapter. On reaching the rostrum, which was provided with seats for the officers, the choir entered their forms on the lower side, and after all were scaled the president, Boo Abram Labeba, made a fitting address of welcome in which he dwelt at length upon the alms and objects of the association, and concluded by thanking the administration, Messrs. A. Bass and E. Kilbourne, for their kind moral support to the organization in allowing it to function freely and unmolested on this plantation. He formally entrusted the meeting into the hands of the chaplain to perform the religious part of the program: Prayer as per ritual; chant, "O. Be Joyful in the Lord"; Scripture lesson; "God of the Right"; song; duet, "Ora Pro Nobls." sung by Mitson Peterson and Messrs. Wattley and Bridgewater; hymn, "God Bless Our President," choir. The meeting was again handed over to the president, who announced that the charter would be unveiled. The ceremonies began with Master Arture Parrott reciting a short poem, after which Miss Josephine Lahega (both of them members of the Juveniles) pulled the strings which controlled the veil of the charter, saying at the same time, "In the name of the Universal Negro Improvement Association I do hereby declare this charter unveiled." The orchestra played the Ethiopian anthem while the uniformed units stood at attention. The Addresses The collection for the day was next taken up, during which the choir sang "O Africa, Awake." Then followed the program addresses. Senior Don Edwardo Martinez C. was the first speaker, and took for his subject the alma and objects of the association as conceived by him. (Senor Martinez is director of the Consulco Spanish School), and said in part that he took upon the organization not as one for pleasure or dress, but as one that is seeking to revolutionize the race. He spoke on the various races from the time of creation and upon the theories presented to the world by various scientists and concluded by saying that he believed in the theory of Marcus Garvey—that of awakening the Negro to a due sense of race consciousness and to rise and do the things that other races have done, and lost but not least, to secure himself by establishing a government second to none upon the great Continent of Africa. (Applause.) The next speaker introduced was Senator Don Ramon Avila, who like the first speaker, spoke in Spanish, and in a forceful and intelligent manner explained the association and its objective. Then followed in order Bros. V. A. Burnett, executive secretary; Thos. Dumpl, first vice-president, and Theophilus D. Nichols, acting financial secretary of Division No. 26, Macreres, whose arguments not only showed their love for the cause, but their implicit and unswerving confidence in the principles of Garvyslum. Next was Bro. Chas. Dagley, chairman of the Board of Trustees, Chapter 53, who quoted scriptural passages to support his statements regarding the organization. Next was representatives of local societies. The Energic Society's was represented by Mr. Emellus Gibbs, the Execelsis by Manassa Michael and the Y. M. T. A. by Goffrey George. These persons said that, though they were allied with other societies, they always believed in the U. N. L. A. as the king of organizations, and that they further believed it to be the only instrument by which the race will be made secure. Procession The president then made the necessary announcements for the remainder of the day, after which the choir sang "One God! One Alm! One Destiny!" and the meeting came to a close with the playing of the Domingan can Anthem by the orchestra. Upon reaching the street a procession was formed and we marched to our Liberty Hall with the orchestra leading, playing "Onward Christian Soldiers," followed by Brethren Durley, Wattley, Lewis and Benjamin supporting the charter, then the chaplains, the choir and friends, members and well wishers. Our Liberty Hall was gaily decorated to suit the occasion. Collection for the day amounted to $6.65. The frame of the charter was made by the President Abram Labega and exhibited a third specimen of workmanship. It was made of mahogany and yellow sandalwood with gold gilded edges; the lower part was divided into three sections, the right bearing the portrait of the male officers of the chapter, the center "Pro Deo, Africa, or Justitia" and the left the female officers. It stands six feet high and four feet wide, with the extreme top carrying the American flag on the right. The Dominican on the left and the U. N. L. A. in the center, and still below that inlalde with abony was the Star of Ethiopia. The motto of the organization, and on each lower corner stands two flower vases glided in gold, bearing bouquets. Bocas Division installed its officers on November 4 with very impressive ceremonies, which will live long in the memories of those who witnessed them. The first part of the meeting was conducted by Rev. R. S. Whittaker. The processional hymn, "Onward Christian Soldiers," was sung while the officers marched from the dressing room wearing their sashes of red, black and green, followed by the chaplain in his robes of office. The meeting was opened with the singing of "From Greenland's Icy Mountains" followed by prayer. The program was as follows: Sankey, 581; Scripture lesson Psalms 23d; Sankey, 287; the offering; Scripture lesson, Kings, chapter 5. The installation of officers was then entered upon. First the hymn, "All Hall the Power of Jesus' Name," was sung, while the president and the lady president marched up to the rostrum, where they took the oath of office, after which they were escorted to their proper places. The vice-presidents were next to be inducted into the office with the same ceremony. Sankey 761 was sung while the secretaries were taking the path. Then came the treasurer and trustees, who were inducted while the choir sang "Yield Not to Temptation." At the close of the ceremony several addresses were rendered, the meeting being brought to a close with the singing of the Doxology. The division also gave a rally of the tribes of Africa which was very well attended. The persons who represented the different tribes looked well in their picturesque costumes and received thunderous applause as they came forward. The first prize was won by Mrs. McLeary, second prize by Mrs. M. Bernard, third prize by Miss. Alma Buchanan Naggs. Great credit must be given to Professor Jackson, who presided at the organ for the beautiful selections with which he favored us. LA AFRICA, COSTA RICA On October 9 we had a visit from the High Commissioner, the Hon. C. H. Bryant, the popular and loyal commissioner for Central America. On his way to the La Africa branch Mr. Bryant contracted an attack of chills which seriously affected him, but owing to the prompt attention of Mrs. McDonald, he recovered sufficiently to keep his appointment with us. The meeting was called to order by the president, Mr. D. Howard. In the usual way and after a few preliminary remarks by the president, and the singing of the lymn "God Bless Our President" the chair was turned over to the commissioner. The commissioner then delivered an inspiring and encouraging address which was listened to with rapid attention by the audience. We wish to thank the high commissioner for his visit to us and the interest he displayed in the affairs of the local.

Yesterday Mrs. Irene Jullian delivered an address taking as her subject, "Man Know Thyself." This lecture was well received and reflected great credit upon the speaker. Mr. Chambers spoke on "Voice Production," followed by a lecture by Dr. Willis oh the "Tonsilla." Several recitations and vocal selections formed part of this interesting and instructive program.

Que el Presidente se pronuncice contra la llamada ley Jim Crow, en vigor en casi todos los estados del sur, virtud de la cual las compañías ferrocarrileras estan obligadas a construir departamentos seprirados para los de color. 3. Que médicos de la raza negra sean nombrados en la dirección del hospital de los veteranos en Tuskegee, Alabama. 4. Que po puede obligada la separación entre blancos y negros en las oficinas federales. 5. Que los de color sean admitidos en la escuela militar do West Point y en la escuela naval de Annapolis. La tercera intentona de un congreso pan-africano en Londres sufrió el fracaso, consiguiente, y después de varios meses antes de admitir el no haber podido reunir suficiente número de personas interesadas para constituir quorum, estos señores críticos han demostrado con ello la poca cooperación de que disfruta su propaganda-malsana. Con quince millones en Norte America, los millones en las Antillas, en Europa y en Africa, no hubieron veinte individuos con deseo de asociarse a-estos señores para llevar a cabo tal empresa. Al darse cuenta exacta del caracter del referido congreso, los pocos que a ellos se asociaron reusaron luego continuar siendo los puntos de soporte de un programa, cuya tendencia estribaba en destruir la pureza, la integridad y el honor de la raza. Ahora vemos de nuevo a estos señores, después de haber celebrado conferencias con blancos como Sydney Oliver, ex-governador colonial cuya opinión sobre nuestra raza retrocede cuatro siglos, haciendo manifestaciones de ir a Africa con el objeto de unir los pueblos de aquel continente, tratando de jugar con fuego. Y agrega el cable que el Presidente oyó con atención, pero contesto con vaguedad. Esto por una parte. Leamos por la otra la memorable declaración pronunciada por e celebre abolicionista Abraham Lincoln, en la convención republicana celebrada en Springfield en el año 1858, que entre otras cosas dice: "Cinco años hace que se inicio la política encaminada a poner fin a las agitaciones esclavistas, y lo unico que se ha conseguido es hacerlas aumentar en vez de disminuirlas. Por mi parte, anadio, que no cesarán hasta que llegue la crisis y pase del todo. Una casa llena de grietas no puede so持久en en pie por mucho tiempo, y es mi opinión que un gobierno mitad libre y mitad esclavo no debe subsistir. No espero que se disuelva la Unión; no espero que se derrumbe la casa, pero creo que cesará de estar dividida. No tengo intención directa ni indirecta con la institución de la esclavitud en los Estados Unidos, en donde hoy existe. Creo que no me asiste ningun derecho legal para intervien, ni me hallo dispuesto a hacerlo, ni es tampoco mi animo introducir la igualdad política y social en la raza blanca y la negra. Hay en las dos una diferencia física que, a mi juicio, impediría esternamente que vivan juntas al pie de la mas perfecta igualdad. Y como es absolutamente necesario que haya alguna diferencia, me hallo en favor, lo mismo que el juez Douglass, de la raza a que pertenezzo y que ocupa una posición superior. Convengo también que el negro no es mi igual al menos en el color y quizas en las facultades morales e intelectuales; pero en cuanto al derecho de comer, sin permiso de nadic, el pan que gané con el sudor de su frente, es igual a todos los demas seres del gérnero humano, y debe gozar, de todos los derechos naturales que se especifican en la declaración de la independencia." No sabrán ellos que el nativo africano esta muy orgulloso de su raza y de su color y reusará ser asimilado por el blanco para la creación de un nuevo tipo o de una nueva raza? Por cuanto mas tiempo creerán ellos que podrán continuar engañando a los pueblos Negros del mundo? Todos sabemos cual es la intención de un congreso pan-africano y de un viaje al continente africano. Este último quiere afectuarlo para contrarrestar allá el movimiento de emancipación de nuestra organización, introduciendo un programa confuso soportado por la clase de dinero que de nada sirvió a Judas Iscariote depués de haberlo recibido. Aquellos que son usados como instrumentos para minar la nueva esperanza y ambición de nuestra raza, correrán la misma suerte del hombre de antaño, quiénes tendrán que colgarse del árbol mas cercano, para escapar del castigo de la Providencia. En medio de toda la decepción practicada sobre nosotros como pueblo, debemos estar satisfechos de poder descartarnos gradualmente de aquella vieja psicología que ha intentado destruirnos y por medio de nuestra propia percepción poder ver y conocer a los traidores que tratan de convertir la raza en una institución comercial. Los que hacia arriba miramos en pos de adelanto estamos satisfechos con nuestra propia descendencia; no queremos asimilación de ninguna especie ni introducción de ningún nuevo tipo, cuyo resultado final será la destrucción de la raza del presente. Todo Negro que se respete a sí mismo ha de afianzarse al orgullo de su raza y ha de vivir lo suficiente para laborar en pro de su propia salvación entre las otras razas y naciones del universo, llevando en su mente las sagradas profecias de que él no será por siempre el hombre despreciado, sino el etiópico reconocido. Como elementos de una raza, sostengamos su estandarte muy en alto; elevemos nuestra esperanzas a la altura de las estrellas, y así como las grandes constelaciones hacen su circunvalación alrededor del astro Rey en el gran uniyerso; ascendamos hasta llegar al olimpo de la ambición humana, para satisfacción nuestra y para satisfacción de nuestro Creador. Sesenta y cinco años hace que espaladin de la humanidad y emancipador de los esclavos del norte, pronunció esas frases que la historia tiene grabada en sus páginas de oro; y yo pregunto, no se han convencido aun nuestros hermanos el norte de la triste situación por que atravesan, y no tienen presente esas vaticinadoras frases del Presidente martir, que deben ser cumplidas con exactitud y rigor por las generaciones que se suceden? Qué hacen mis hermanos de alla con estar haciendo el inocentado papel de solicitadores de cargos y gerarquias, a base de igualdad, equidad y justicia, cuando no han de-obtener nada que favoreza? No se dan cuenta del desden con que se les trata, el desprecio de que son objeto en todo tiempo, la poca consideración y el bingun respeto de parte de los que siempre se hari creido superiores y por tanto no se consideran iguales? Porque vivir a la sombra de la bandera de un pais en donde son tratados menos que visitantes, pues no se le reconoce ni el derecho a la vida por el hecho de tener la pici oscura? Porque pedir al que nada ha de dar? La situación es propicia y el problema estará resuelto si se detienen un instante y piensan en una libertad efectiva, con derecho propio reconocido, con hogar formado y gobernado por si mismos, desde donde puedan constituir un gobierno en una republica respetada por propios y extranjos, sin ser molestados en ningún caso y si solicitados por los que hoy les desprecian. La oportunidad es presentada por la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra que preside el Hon. Marcus Garvey, ciudadano, prestigioso, digno e inmaculado, quien ha encontrado alli un campo abonado para la realización del trinfo de su causa, que es la causa de todo negro que se sienta libre y con derecho a vivir como los demas seres que pueblan el universo. Vallamos a nuestra Africa, fundemos nuestra nación, organicemos nuestro gobierno, profesemos el amor y la hermandad a base de moral cristiana y dispongamonos a vivir en paz. Con esa medida no estorbarem en ninguna parte, ni viviremos haciendo el triste papel de pobres aventureros, y se pallaremos para siempre el desprecio, el ultraje, el atropello y el crimen de que por tanto tiempo hemos sido objeto. FELIX MACHADO. Santiago de Cuba. Filipinas y la Independencia Una información llegada cablegráficamente de Manila anunciada en términos sensacionales lo que se describia como un verdadero movimiento de los políticos principales filipinos encaminado a la rendición incondicional al general Wood. Nacabe dudar de la transendencia de la información. Representantes independentistas de la talla de Quezon y Osmena, almorzando con representantes del gobernador en busca de un arreglo armonioso, aparecian, así como el puente para salir del actual conflicto. Y la salida una posible, en esas circunstancias, era la sumisión al general Wood, el reconocimiento renovado de la soberana de los Estados Unidos y el abandono de todo ideal de secesión por el presente. How informa el cable, en cambio, la laconica decision de la Camara de Manila, autorizando al presidente del senado y la Camara, señores Quezon y Rojas, a solicitar del presidente Coolidge reconiende al Congreso en su proviso mensaje la concession de la independencia a la Filipinas. A decir verdad, lecciones nuestros filipinos nos manifestation resuelvenmente desde un principio que la primera información era Simplemente propaganda antiseparista. Los acontecimientos pares en demostrarlo. No es compreensible que Quezon y Osmena iniciaran negotiations de reindicción veintiintiato horas antes del categorico y desinicio acuerdo de la Camara. Por lo pronto, que, la maniobra que pudiera propone el centro que la lanzara el rumor del aminuto entrego bucado por los niños, ha frascado. Pero que odella un tratar visible, que denuestra que esta en juego una violenta propaganda contra los separatistas filipinos, por medio del cable americano. Cabe en vista de ello, se cree mueras invenciones y se puede dede ahora presumir que se han utilizado todos los resumen temas tísecos caso. Lo discutible y realmente hipotélicos es que sean eficaces. El pueblo filipino parece cada día más unido en una apiración de independencia, que ha pasado de la etapa idealista y poro objetiva en que se forjan estos movimientos, a la esfera de los acontecimientos reales y efectivos que enanzan la marcha de los pueblos. Filipinas, por todos los antecedentes, no siente contra la Unión sentimientos adversos de ninguna espejo nor el contrario le manifiesta reconciimiento y admiración que le son debidos. Pero Filipinas se siente capacitada para el gobierno propio y demanda el derecho a gobernarse por si misma. En esta coyuntura, cualesquiera sean el criterio y las conveniencias de los políticos americanos, pareceria absurdo toda tendencia y toda procedimiento-que pudiera convertir a un pueblo de diez millones de habitantes, hoy cordial y respetuo para los Estados Unidos, en una masa adolorida y combatiente, anhelante de una ocasion para obtener, por cualquier medio, la libertad y la patria independiente. La prensa anmericana en materias de propaganda no tiene maestros. La gran guerra lo demostró. De un puichlo neutral y hasta desafecto a los aliados hizose en pocos meses una nación vibrante antialemana. Pero fuera absurdo utilizar ahora aquellos procedimientos contra Filipinas. Filipinas desa la in- dependencia y lucha por ella en forma correctísima, civica, patriótica. ¿Para qué envenenar una controversia que sólo resolveran la razon y la templanza y nunca el agnosiamiento y la injusticia?-La Preusa, N.Y. Restringiendo la Inmigración El presidente Coolidge dio su acentimiento a un proyecto de ley del representante Johnson, de Washington, para emendar la ley de inmigración. El proyecto irá al congreso como medida pedida por el gobierno. En dicho proyecto se fija la cuota de inmigrantes tomándose como base el censo de 1890, en vez del 1910, y la proporción de dos por ciento en vez de tres. El número de inmigrantes que pueden ser admitidos por la presente ley alcanza alrededor de trescientos cincuenta mil mientras que de atención al proyecto, el número se reduciria a trescientos cincuenta mil una diferencia de sólo diez mil. En el nuevo proyecto hay también provisiones para la selección de la inmigración, que el secretario Davis juzgá de gran importancia. Esto acabará automaticamente con los Jude seables y se hará un examen físico y mental preylo del inmigrante.

COX The visitor will see starting from the center of the roof of the T1st Regiment Armory, Thirty-fourth street and Park avenue, long streamers in colors that blend—yellow, red, blue and black—the decorative plan for the first Advertising Exposition held in America directed by the Advertising Club of New York. The growth of publicity in this field is one of the most sure signs of industrial progress and meticulous achievement. It brings to the public a message of its needs, not only considered, but the serious efforts being made to give them the best products manufactured in handy and convenient packages, bottles, containers, pleasing to the eye and useful in the home. Therefore, it is a mark of honor that President Coolidge opened the exhibit on Monday evening last. Mr. H. C. Charles is president of the Advertising Club. Over 100 Exhibitors There is no limit to the scope of advertising. This is seen as each booth represents some feature in education, travel, industry, commerce, agriculture, science and invention. The exhibit of the Underwood Typewriter Company, under the direction of Wm. P. Oswald, is impressive. The typewriter has changed the physiological control of writing from the wrist to the finger point. This company specializes in giving their new and improved models of machines for office work and general writing every possible advantage to overcome handicaps that in the past held against good manners. Students are more than wise in giving the Underwood typewriter machine first choice. The exhibits not only suggest mediums for placing before the public goods for sale, but are also immediately helpful. A new lettering and stencil outfit, while it takes time, gives anyone the chance to make up small cards, in colors at his discretion. The fundamental basis of advertising is grouped in six classes, all of which must co-ordinate to receive maximum results. The advertiser, whether he be the producer, manufacturer, distributor or retailer, must understand and then cater to sides of the allied branches. A short summary will show the relation between the buying public and the goods offered for sale. "Product . The merchandise you sell or the services you render must meet a reasonable acceptance before you can create a selling plan that eliminates overhead expenses, giving to the consumer more goods or better service at corresponding cost. Market The field of place must contain purchasers, or there will be required only minor sales, because a good exist for the goods procured. Prices The cost should take the money at the disposal of buyers. This calls for efficient manufacture without waste and efficiency and equitable transportation. The quality must be low, the prices NICE SURPRISE for LARGER WOMEN PAY NO MORE FACILITY PRICES Wanted, the following pioneering adventuaries to associate themselves with a company going ahead: (1) Mechanical Engineer, (2) Electrical Engineer, (3) Civil Engineer, (4) Architect, (5) Chemist, (6) Agriculturalist, (7) Scientist, (8) Medical Doctor, (9) Surveyor, (10) Lawyer. Olive names and write to J. E. Locke, Coyo Mambi, Oriente, Cuba. should meet the approval of seller and buyer. Miscellaneous Advertising has been reduced to an exact science. It is easy and economical to have a planned campaign and proper selling ideas. The channels through which the good reach the public must create confidence and influence action. The Press Printing and the allied branches is a historic development, registering the advance of civilization; also its setbacks. In addition to magazines, booklets, periodicals, trade journals, posters, show cards, etc., the leading factor is the one that reaches the public every day most conveniently. Newspapers Wide-wake, aler', intelligent, understandingly, newspapers chronicle events and contemporary history each day, fresh and undoried. As epics of life, they carry us through weed and woe, laughter, and tears, love and tragedy, progress and advancement. Guided by lofty ideals and that ecligated self-interest that worships at the altar of service, they have become reliable guides, through the bold initiative and broad humanity' of the men who control and manage them. 'It is not only in news, editorial' feature articles and general interest must they appeal, they must serve the public in an increasing economic way, for they know the purchasing power of a dollar as it really is, Industrial progress and business are the big issues today. In this field they must meet New demands. The Negro World A big local circulation and an international outlook gives to the advertising columns of this paper a news and financial value hard to duplicate. It brings to its readers new educational advantages and at the same time introduces the advertiser and his goods to the best advantage. Newspapers hold a unique place in the business world on account of the facilities at their disposal for reaching the public and the masses everywhere. Among the slogans in use, such as "It Pays to Advertise," "Impersonal Salesmanship," "Send Your Message Every Day"-the Negro World adds, "Tell It to the World." The Editor Should Have An Open Mind Always Newspaper men don't try to punish people, through the colonies of the paper half as often as the public thinks. There are newspaper men who have their enemies. In fact, it is the rule they do have their enemies, for its hard to keep from making them if you work around a newspaper, but there are but few newspapers that use their organ to settle a private grudge. This is not always understood, often when things go wrong in a newspaper office, it is told to some one on the paper. It was done purposely. It was to help one and injure another. That's what is said, but it isn't often so, and newspapers don't often try to explain away mistakes of that kind. Another comes up right away anyhow. THANKSGIVING TIME (continued from page 1) in themselves and go lead the way to a longer future. Commerce and Industry In spite of obstacles, the commercial and industrial progress boke fail to a stronger growth; this is an event that holds the key to world ag- tention; then, too, we are thankful that business careers and industry in our ranks an increasing amount of students each year; it is not very far to that turning point, which will see constructive plans and more efficient methods take the place of population. In addition we are confident that the more advanced members of the pro- gram will give their talent in order own highest development and to the populations next follower. Ideals Thanksgiving is in the exam. A lot of an ideal deep in the roots of people who acknowledge the sovereignty of man and his relation to nature. The harvest season in the old world corresponds to our harvest time. Family we gather by home tea and immediate fellowship with members of the family who can find it possible to present into communal praise, adding and partaking of a symposium dinner. To our friends and acquaintances we send gifts and are taking appropriate to the occasion. Africa Once again it is part of the ceremonies or perhaps in our chambers, like trump, we commune in gratitude of heart, so sacrifice of righteousness and trust in God" that a greater family rejoice on and a Thanksgiving worthy of a people who came to the aid of Christ will promote our being that every difficulty will be only a greater nine towards our birthright and the satisfaction of the deeds of our noble but heroic dead. To my comrades in arms who did not pass on to glory and those who sleep, in the poppy fields of France, for democracy, for justice, for liberty, I again 'dedicate my life, I WILL NOT BREAK THE FAITH that carried us there; and all who enjoy the fruits for 'which other men 'have labored and died must give that greater THANKS, in making the world a better place for having been in it. # MR. GARVEY IN OAKLAND (Continued from page 2) us that he counted the cost when he set out to lead his people, and when he spoke of his incarceration as calmly as one would speak of a pleasure trip, we said, surely this man of the hour, this greatest of all Negro leaders, is possessed with the indomitable spirit thus spoken of in the language of the poet: Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not wined nor cried loud. Under the bludgingon of chance My head is bloody but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath, of tears, Looms but the horror of the shade And yet the menace of the years, Finds and shall find me unbridal. It matters not how strait the gate. How charged with punishment the scroll. New Era of Endeavor Just as after Christmas comes the New year, with its regrets, with its hopes, its resolutions, so our President General's coming has meant a Christmas season for us. If we do not carry out the season, beginning now a glad New Year with sincere resolutions, his coming and lavishing of gifts would stand for naught. Not resolutions made to break, but sincere resolutions to keep; having always in mind the Redemption of Africa, and realizing that the promise of the goal is in the attitude of the soul. Those of us who have tried in our weak way to carry on after receiving such new inspiration should resolve to do more and greater things for this great cause. Those of us who have fallen out of line (as we are, sure you top, received your share of gifts) should pick up where we left off and come stepping back in line. Those who have never linked up with the Universal Negro Improvement Association, we hope, now realize that this cause is yours as well as those who you watch from day to day struggling on with the burden. The task would be easier if each one would come and take his rightful place. Our greatest aim, the redemption of Africa, would soon be accomplished. It is needful that we keep up the spirit; so let this great inspiration which our leader gave to us be ever kept as a sinee New Year's resolution, resolving from new on to do, to dare, to sacrifice, to suffer, if need be, to help our leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, to carry on the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League. Time to Be Serious Let us change that girl saying 'be the white man that "The Negro is always happy but never serious." Let us show him that, we can be serious as well as happy; and being confronted with the biggest job Negroes ever tackled, it is time to be serious. Let us show him that we are capable of doing great things as well as he; and we will be happy indeed if we but realize the strength there is in unity, which is necessary to put over the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. There is much work for the women in the various auxiliaries of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and you are especially needed to take up the Black Cross training. The Lemons, the Juventudes, the chair all wonderful auxiliaries of this organization, are in need of your co-operation to carry on this work as outlined by our leader. If you have one drop of Neuro blood in your veins your place is in the Universal Neuro Improvement Association, and the coming of our leader should inspire us all to get busy. Had we been favored with a farewell address by our leader I am sure his advice to us would have embodied somewhat this thought—that we should be strong; we are not here to play, to dream, to drift; there is hard work to do and loads to lift. Shum not the struggle—face it. The God's gift. REACHING THE MASSES Socialists Seek $100,000 to Start Daily Paper The State executive committee of the Socialist party on Nov. 15 at No. 7 East Fifteenth street took up the matter of the publication of a Socialist daily newspaper. Former Assemblyman Louis Walshman said: "We are now congruent with the collection of a $100,000 fund. We want to raise the money in installments of not less than $10,000, from each union plecking support to the fund." Plans for a Socialist weekly paper to take the place of the New York Coll and the Leader, shall recently suspended, are also under consideration. Josina Lieberman, executive secretary of the party, has announced that money considered sufficient to cover a year's possible deficit in publication had been subscribed and that it was expected the new paper would appear within a few weeks.

TELEPHONE SERVICE. 9 West 136th Street CALL AT HOTEL OFFICE or Phone Harlem 0628 (Continued from page 3) make any mistake about aristocracy for the simple reason that if you get the idea that any fellow who gets a little money whether morally good or morally bad, legally bad or good, and accumulates it and uses it, is an aristocrat, then you may get the idea that you can knock somebody down on the street and get some money—as much as you want, and next day use that money and be an aristocrat. We do not want to make that mistake. We want you to have in your mind this aristocracy is a distinction conferred upon the individual for service rendered to his race or to his nation. As, for instance, within the German empire, within the French empire within the old British empire and the present British empire, and within our own American commonwealth. In Great Britain it is not every fellow who makes his millions out of pork or tea or herring that is regarded as an aristocrat of the British empire. In Germany it is not every fellow that makes his money out of beer or whisky that is regarded as an aristocrat of the German empire. In America, in the highest society of the country, it is not every fellow who robs the other fellow down in Wall Street or the bootlegger is an aristocrat; but when we speak of aristocracy in the British empire we speak of men like Arthur, Duke of Wellington; we speak of men like Horatio Nelson; we speak of men like William, Earl of Chatham; we speak of men like Gladstone and Chammerlain—men who laid down their lives for the good of their race and for the good of their country. Horatio Nelson, who, at the battle of Trafalgar, said: "Today England expects every man to do his duty," and fought his way to victory. for the glory of England; and Arthur Wellesley, who on the battle plains of Waterloo, met Napoleon and defeated him signally for the glory of his empire, and when he returned to his country he was singled out from the common people and made an aristocrat because on the fields of Waterloo he had rendered a signal service to his race and to his nation. You speak of Bismarck as an aristocrat out of the German empire, not because Bismarck made a million from some hair-straightening stuff for the German people, but because Bismarck, known as the Iron Chancellor, planned the solution of the problem of uniting the scattered Prussian states and made a pauperized Germany and a pauperized Prussia a great industrial and political nation in Europe and held her so until his death, and because of that he was singled out from the common people of Germany and made Prince Von Bismarck, one of the leaders of German aristocracy. Not Something Assumed Artistocracy, I say, is not something nominated by the individual; artistry is a distinction conferred for service rendered. And in our great American nation we revere the name of George Washington; we honor the name of Abraham Lincoln. They were numbered among the artisocrats of this country, and coming down the line their children will also be numbered among the artisocrats of this country for the service George Washington rendered to his country and for the service Lincoln rendered to a race. We speak of Woodrow Wilson as an artisocrat, not because Wilson is the head of some system by which he jobs and exploits the people, but because Wilson has made his valuable contribution to American civilization and American democracy through education and statemanship. We refer to Roosevelt as an artisocrat among the white people of America, not because Roosevelt had money, but because Roosevelt in his time made his contribution in statemanship, in art and letters to the American people and to the American nation. And that distinguishes Roosevelt from the common lot of all white men in the Bowery; that distinguishes Roosevelt from the common lot of men who walk on Broadway, because of the service he rendered to his country inside of the country and outside of the country; because of the service he rendered to his country as a statesman and as President and as a soldier in the Spanish American War. Those were the things that distinguished Roosevelt from the common herd of white men in America and made him an artisocrat in American society. If we are to have aristocrats therefore we must measure them and appreciate them in the same way other races measure their aristocrats and confer an honor upon them and not allow any wrong responsible Negro to say "I am an aristocrat" and let the world take it at that and let it remain at that. The new aristocracy of the Negro race must be aristocracy based upon service. (Apiause.) Any thug can get money; any thug can go and knock down somebody; any thug can commit highway robbery and get half a million dollars, and because he has half a million dollars to spend and make some big spread would you call him an aristocrat? (Cries of No!) Opportunity for All Opportunity for All So I want you to be directed in the proper way about aristocracy and this show that some people are making of the race talking about they are aristocrats and leaders of the race. They have to stop that stuff because they must realize that they have a new race and an intelligent race to deal with, and we appreciate aristocracy only from service and not from assumption. (Aplause.) We have within us the making of the best and the greatest people of the twentieth and twenty-first century. There is a chance and opportunity for every man who wants to distinguish himself just at this time. We are presenting the opportunity for every man who really wants to be an aristocrat to be an aristocrat. You can become so through service; you can become honorably distinctive, not notoriously distinctive. I can go out and make a big noise and a big show and become distinctive by motority, but that would not give me the kind of respect that is desired to make a man an aristocrat within the race. We say the opportunity is given to every one now who wants to do something, to go out and do something distinctive—honorably distinctive—and this race of ours will be too willing and be too glad to reward you with whatsoever honor that is due you as men of distinction among us. Degrading the Race As I said, races and nations do not elevate individuals among them to the highest order in society for doing something that debases that race or debases that nation. That is why I say that whatsoever distinction we create it must be honorably done and not moritiously done. England and Germany and France and America do not honor men for anything that they do that degrades a nation or degrades a race. They pass such people up. England, America, Germany and France honor their men and their people for things done in honor of their race and for the sake of the nation. If some person in America were to discover something here that would reduce the self-respect of the American people in the eyes of the world and make ten billion dollars out of that thing, the American Government would not look upon that individual as a good citizen and a person to be honored and respected even though that person had a billion dollars because that person has his or her billion dollars by doing something derogatory to the race or to the American people or to the American nation; but the American nation would honor some one who discovered something that is of great benefit and upholds the self-respect and honor of the American people and the American nation. Such a person would be mentioned for a place in the Hall of Fame. In Columbia or some of the universities of this country. The universities of this country would rival each other to center upon that person the title of Doctor of Laws or Doctor of Philosophy or some honorary degree, because of the distinctive contribution that that person has made to the American race or to the American nation. Thus in appreciation of the service that individual has rendered that individual will be elevated from the common people and be made an aristocrat among the race and within the nation. That is the understanding and interpretation of society. Aristocracy, to repair myself, is earned by singular distinction of service-service to the race, service to one's people or service to one's nation, and when you are to elevate your men or your women and to confer upon them the honor of aristocracy and to make the individual an aristocrat you must for a question yourself and say what has this individual done in service to the race, in service to the nation for him individually and for all of us to confer upon that individual the distinction of being an aristocrat and being a member of the aristocracy.

Every mistake you make adds one more stumbling block in the way of achievement you desire for yourselves, and especially in the singling out of people and elevating them to the aristocracy. I trust you know what that means. I have explained it so that you can understand what it means. When a man is an aristocrat and is referred to as an aristocrat it means that he represents the creme de la crème of the nation and race; he represents the highest, the best, the worthiest and the loftiest in that race and nation. That is what aristocracy means. Therefore it is a thing that cannot be assumed by the individual. It must be conferred upon the individual by the people of that community or the people of that race or the people of that nation. So don't make the mistake of having any other interpretation of aristocracy. Therefore when one asserts that "I am an aristocrat" he has taken into himself or to herself a great responsibility and the world watches a race and a nation through such persons, and that is why I am jealous, of my reputation as a Negro, that is why every Negro in New York and every Negro in the world must be jealous of what is his or her reputation. When a Negro goes out and says "I am an aristocrat, I am the elite of my race," the question must be asked "who made you so? you cannot make yourself so; you must be made by the common approval of the people." And we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association do not approve of any kind of aristocracy that is as Every Man Who Has Force of You Scientist Makes Wonderful Disco Years Shout A new discovery is said to have been made by a scientific study of Serbia in which mankind is more than any other people.

You will understand, therefore, that a stand must be taken, and I am speaking not only for Liberty Hall but for the entire nation. I am speaking for the world of Negroes, because some Negroes are making the mistake that by getting a little money from hair straightening they can become better than anybody else within the race. It is a false idea; it is a false notion. The aristocrat of the Negro race individually, in the future is going to be the fellow who can single out himself in service and deeds like George Washington in America; like Patrick Henry in Ameriet; like Abraham Lincoln in America; like Bismarck of Germany; like Lord Chatham of England; like Nelson of England, or Lennine and Trostky of Russia. When they can so single out themselves if they are men, and when as women they can single out themselves like Joan of Arc of France, or like Florence Nightingale, then of us will take our hats off to such Negro men and women and say, "Indeed, you are true aristocrats of our race; you are true patriots of our race." But any man who thinks he is going to assume aristocracy and be an elite among the people without the approval of the common lot of us makes a tremendous mistake, because we are not going to pay any attention to you. Therefore, we want the white press of America, and especially the Negroes of this country do not give their approval to any Mistocracy that bases itself upon the accumulation of wealth and not upon service rendered to the race and to the nation.
