The Negro World

THE DAWN OF AFRICA'S NEW DAY FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: The Negro has started in every direction to advance his own cause of independence during this new year. The reports that reach headquarters amply satisfy us of the new determination that our people are making to develop themselves as one of the independent forces among races and nations. This is encouraging, because it is a marked improvement upon the racial lethargy of a decade ago. Africa Being Stirred Africa is being stirred to the realization of her position among the nations of the world. The native peoples of South, East and North Africa are, without any apologies or compromise, shaking a finger of warning and correction in the face of the alien adventurer and aggressor who has for centuries ravished and despoiled the land of our fathers. When the natives themselves undertake such a responsibility as that of chastising the intruder it leaves us in this western world with no other duty than that of wholeheartedly going to their native assistance, and surely we shall not fail them in that respect? Anniversary of Emancipation We have just celebrated the fifty-ninth anniversary of the emancipation of the American Negro, and, retrospectively, we find that four million of untutored men and women of just more than a half a century have developed to become the natural leaders of their scattered race of 400,000,000 members. In the fields of art, science, industry and politics the American Negro holds a unique position, in conjunction with the same accomplishments of the West Indian Negro, and there is no reason why these two western branches of the race Afric should not unite with those of the motherland for the redemption of our common country and the establishment of a nation of security for all. Propaganda of Six Years the Universal Negro Improvement Association's propaganda of six years toward the welding together of the scattered units of the race is surely not in vain, because there are millions of the western world who are thoroughly imbued with the spirit of service to Africa. Week by week dozens of progressive men and women leave different points of the United States and West Indies for different sections in Africa. We are hoping that between now and the latter part of the present year sufficient arrangements will be made to undertake in a more practical and extensive manner the repatriation of hundreds of thousands of other well-meaning and industrious men and women who desire to help in the upbuilding of the old country. White and Black The whites and blacks who think progressively and without selfishness or narrowness of vision can see but one solution for the perplexing question of race, and that is to have each and every race develop in its own native habitat. More and more the Asiatics are getting to realize this as well as the Europeans, and so the Negro must realize that his one hope of salvation lies in the redemption of Africa. NEGROES THE WORLD OVER SHOULD GET TOGETHER TO HELP THEMSELVES PETITION TO CONGRESS OF UNITED STATES AND PARLIAMENTS OF ENGLAND AND FRANCE GREAT NEGRO ORGANIZATION FORGING AHEAD PLEA FOR GREATER UNITY The struggle for the survival of the different and respective human groups is becoming keener year by year. In another decade, one-half a century or one hundred years a different tale will be told to the unprepared and non-aggresive human groups who do not make efforts of themselves toward the goal of national racial protection. The Value of Nationhood Nationhood, as we say, is the only protection of peoples, and when a race is deprived of nationhood it simply means that its scattered members are about to be reduced to serfdom or slavery, such as we have been forced to undergo for the last three hundred years, and are still in a way undergoing in the different parts of the world. Grand and Glorious Day It will be a grand and glorious day when all of the scattered sons and daughters of Africa fully realize their oneness of duty. Slow it may be, but gradually we are getting to realize the value of unity. But for the misguided ideas of our leaders of the last quarter of a century we should have been further ahead in the great work of African redemption; but these leaders, being not of our vision but selfish of soul, placed themselves as stumbling blocks in the way of all progressive racial movements; hence, the Universal Negro Improvement Association had to undergo its trying time of opposition, when the so-called leaders fought it from every direction for the purpose of destroying the vision that was uppermost, which led toward liberty; but gradually we find these very leaders changing their opinions and outlook on the African question. Reactionary Negroes The reactionary Du Bois, the leader of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who for several years opposed the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, is now found advocating the things that we stand for. We find him issuing a manifesto in the heart of Europe declaring for a larger liberty for the African peoples. If we did nothing more than change the outlook of the reactionary Negro leaders we would have justified the existence of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but we are glad that we can report greater accomplishments. In six years we have stirred the sleeping world of Negroes to a consciousness of itself. We have lit the torch of liberty and it is burning today with greater brilliancy. It is only a question of time when the nations of the world will realize fully that the Negro's place must be fixed in the political sun of our civilization. The members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association all over the world and all human forces should glory in the achievements of the organization. The time, labor and money spent were not in vain, because we are now coming to the realization and benefit thereof. We are now preparing a petition of 6,000,000 signatures to be presented to the Persident and the Congress of the United States of America, asking for the necessary co-operation and assistance in helping to bring about the object of Negro nationalism in Africa. America, England and France America, England and France owe it to the Negro to assist him in the proper establishment of himself in his native land. When America thinks of her present glory, she will naturally remember the sacrifice and suffering of her slaves of 250 years. When England thinks of her wonderful imperialism, she will naturally think of the contribution made by the millions of blacks who suffered and died in her colonies to supply her with the wealth that did the pillars of her imperial structure, and France cannot be unmindful of the service rendered her by Afric's native sions, and, though we did not ask reward during the period of our service, now the time has come when we expect them to be at least grateful to the extent of assisting us to redeem ourselves. Work for 1924-25 We expect the accomplishment of much in the years 1924 and 1925; hence, we ask of those who are identified with the Universal Negro Improvement Association to cheer up and make another determined stand to see the program through. There is much to work and hope for. Let us go about it in a real devoted and patriotic way. UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION PHILADELPHIA. January 8, 1924. P. S. All members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are hereby reminded to pay the Secretaries of their local divisions the annual $1,00 tax which became due from the 1st of January. This tax must be paid up during this month. All members who pay this tax will be helping, according to the obligation of the constitution, in assisting the Parent Body to meet its general administrative expenses. The work of the organization cannot go on without the support of its membership, and this is the annual tax that the Parent Body depends on to carry on its administrative work. Secretaries receiving this money shall forward same immediately, with their reports, to the Parent The following article, reprinted from the San Francisco Chronicle, December 28, will prove of more than ordinary interest to Negroes. Special attention is directed to the reference, in the inter-departmental letter embodied, to the "inquiry from colored interests on the Atlantic Coast." We have more than a suspicion, liking the date of the letter into account, that the efforts of the Black Star Line, Inc., in it nascent stage, are allied to; Charges that the United States Flipping Board has adopted a policy of discrimination against the Negro race, and refuses to sell at any price or allocate its vessels to colored interests, were made here recently by Captain Harry Dean. Captain Dean, himself of African blood, but a native of Philadelphia and an American citizen, has for years been interested in the development of the black republic of Liberia. Believing that its future lay in foreign trade particularly with his country, he came with three years ago to negotiate with the shipping Board for a small craft of which he was to be master. He holds a master's certificate and formerly was skipped of the Norwegian ship Pedro Gerona. His efforts blocked and thwarted, Captain Dech says, he finally became ampleful of protestations on the part of officials that there was no discrimination against his race, and recently came into possession of an inter-departmental letter of the Shipping Board, which he claims completely proves his charges. This letter follows: Inter-Departmental Letter Mr. H. H. Ebay, District Director, Emergency Fleet Corporation, San Francisco, Cal. Appointed Harry G. Gouraues Allocation of Vessels. Dear Sir: I enclose herewith copy of letter addressed to Senator Jones and received through Commissioner Lissner. This letter is signed by one Harry Dean, who I understand is a colored man. I am enclosing also copy of my letter to him of October 15, which was written before I knew that he was of the colored race. In this connection it is probably needless for me to state that it would be hardly expedient for us to place any passenger steamers in the hands of colored people to operate, and I believe this applies with equal force to the advisability of giving them cargo steamers. They will probably want to combine both cargo and passenger traffic and, as the matter has been taken up with Senator Jones, it is quite necessary that the matter received our courteous consideration. I might add that we had a similar inquiry from colored interests on the Atlantic Coast for passenger steamers and it was considered by both-Mr. Smull and Mr. Love at the time that it would be inadvisable to charter any steamers to these people, as such steamers would get the name of having been used in colored passenger traffic and it would be difficult to place them in the regular passenger service thereafter. This entire matter is passed on to you for handling. By J. A. ROBINSON, Manager, Alloca tion and Contract Dept. October 24, 1921. A Subtle Policy "I am forced to the opinion that there is a subtle policy to keep dark skins off the sea," said Captain Dean, "and that there never will be an opportunity for black blood to get a nautical training. Although a freeborn American citizen, I had to go abroad to get my training. This policy is not only a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment, but is a violation of nature, because the sea is free and everybody has a right on the sea. "Although born in Philadelphia and educated here in Oakland, I went to Liberia at an early age. I know that (Continued on page 10).

From His Comm A telegram from London to the New York World, dated Jan- uary 6, mayer. "King George has intervened to prevent the removal of the King Tut-ankhamen from his mummy case. The World correspondent learns here that the King's request was made at an audience at Buckingham-Palace with Howard Carter before the 'discoverer of the tomb returned to Egypt. A study of the mummy will have to be restricted to an X-ray examination. "King George's command has caused much amusement here, where it is regarded as another indication of his regard or what King Edward used to call the trade union of kings, even if they have been long cataclys." According to Associated Press reports published in Southern newspapers, Negroes who have migrated to the North, where they hoped to find better economic, educational and political conditions, are returning to Dixie, the land of cotton, in large numbers because of the cold climate and because they failed to find the "promised land" which they had hope to inhabit. If Negroes are returning to the South in any considerable numbers there is a reason for it, just as there was a reason for their going to the North. Be if far from us to doubt the truthfulness of Associated Press news, but the whole story of returning colored migrants snacks more of "propaganda than facts." The Negro is leaving the South weekly at the present in large numbers, notwithstanding the fact that he has been told that the climate is too cold for him and that the people of the North are unusable and inhospitable Negroes, many of them, in North Louisiana are preparing to leave this week. We know of whole families that will leave before Christmas, which is only two days hence. The Negro is no longer the child he used to be; he is not afraid to MOVE, to seek better conditions for himself and family, regardless of the "tales of woe" recited to him by those who hate not sought to bother his condition when it lies in their power to do so. The Negro asks no special favor. He feels that as an American citizen he is due the rights and protection guaranteed by the Constitution. When these rights and protections are finally refused him, what is left, for him to do, but GOA. As other races, the Negro is learning to go to better conditions when the better conditions will not come to him. This means that he is coming to himself. Instead of continuing to play the "hackneyed game" of scaring or keeping the Negro ignorant, why not give him "justice and a square deal" as other American citizens, even foreigners, enjoy? He is loyal, patriotic and can be depended upon in the days that "try men's souls." If this is done, the Negroes who are still in the South will be glad to remain, while the thousands of those who have migrated to other sections will return to the South and make her blossom like the rose. The South needs the Negro and the Negro needs the South. Why can't they stay together in peace and work mutually for the development of the resources of this, the greatest section in the United States? Who is responsible for the migration of the Negro and who is working against the economic interests of the South? The Negro is NOT afraid of the cold Northern climate; he is not afraid of work and he will not return to the South in large numbers unless the white man of the South adopts the Golden Rule: "All things whatsoever ye would that men do to you, do ye also to them." South African Parties Unite Against Smuts PRETORIA, Union of South Africa. Jan. 4. The Labor party at its annual conference here today confirmed the agreement tentatively entered into some time ago between the Labor and Nationalist parties of South Africa, the avowed object of which is to join forces to oust General Smuts from the Premiership and to prevent the Smuts government from profiting by three-cornered contents in the next general election. The South African Nationalist Congress in September last ratified the pact between the Nationalist and Labor parties to unite in fighting the Smuts government. The pact was first entered into between the leaders of the two parties last April. Empire Building LONDON. Jan. 8.—With the object of making the British diplomatic service super-officest, Henry Laming, retired London merchant, has donated a quarter of a million dollars to Queen's College, Oxford, of which he is an honorary fellow. The money is to be used to found traveling scholarships to encourage and train men intending to enter the diplomatic con- POLITICAL GROWTH OF THE BRITISH WEST INDIAN NEGRO (From the Demerara Daily Chronicle. Dealing with the bankruptcy of the old system. Wrong says, "No social contrast could be greater than that between Canada and Jamaica, within the one a virile and politically minded population, and in the other a handful of white oligarchs, a similar number of colored demagogues, and a huge black residuum in a state of complete inertia. Emancipation had increased the white migration and vacated estates had in many cases been occupied by Negro squatters. In many of the smaller islands the whites were to be numbered, in dozens rather than hundreds; yet the franchise remained out of the reach of practically all the Negroes and of those who were qualified, both white and colored, only a fraction made use of their rights." Under the preceding circumstances it was inevitable that the Executive Governments demanded the abolition of those Houses of Assembly and Legislatures, which had ceased to be of any practical benefit, to their communities, and were nothing but a source of obstruction to Government. These plagues Prof. Wrong treats with sympathy and understanding. In British Gulana things never got so bad though they came tolerably near; and more by good luck than good judgment, its ancient and historic constitution has been preserved to this day. A constitution which shorn of the glories under the old representative system of King Lords and Commons is yet sufficiently suited to a democratic colony such as ours; though, of course, some amendments, to keep time with the march of progress become more and more desirable every day. Amendments which, however, we do not propose to indicate to-day owing to the space at our disposal. But as there was a transition from the days before slavery was abolished through the years which succeeded its abolition; so also has there been a transition to the days of the twentieth century as progress and enlightenment commence to grow to maturity in these communities. Dealing with conditions of to-day, Prof. Wrong says: "To deny that there is any racial feeling would be going much too far; but it is reasonable to say that such racial feeling as there does not at present constitute a bar to the fair and impartial administration of Government. The West Indian Negro," he continues, "is far from being a transplanted African savage, nor does he live on terms of perennial suspicion and ill-will towards his white neighbors. There is a colored intelligence, and below it in the social scale, much progress has been made in the creation of a new and natural civilization founded on pleasant proprietorship." Prof. Wrong concludes what we have before described as one of the best informed and delightful works both on West Indian Government and affairs, in the following pregnant sentence: "It will be many decades before the dream of a self-governing West Indian Dominion can come true, but progress is being made in that direction, and it is well that this should be realized. The idea is still current that the British West Indies are unimportant and worn out sugar colonies, people by lazy and degraded beings of molley shine. The facts are that the colonies to-day are more populous and productive than they have ever been before. It is true that their relative importance in the world has greatly declined; but they are still far from reaching their maximum of productivity even setting aside the huge unopened areas in the two continental colonies. Further, in them is being tried a great social experiment in the education of the Negro people, and though the economic conditions are far from ideal for its success, the political circumstances and the absence of a social hostility make them a testing ground from which hopeful results may be expected. Methodists to Try Pastor Who Lectured for Klan ST. LOUIS, Jan. 2—Announcement was made today by the Southern Methodist presiding elder, the Rev. Dr. Frank L. Wells, that Charles D. McGhee, former local pastor, will be brought to church trial. In the mean time McGhee has been suspended from the exercise of all ministerial functions. McGhee, as an active worker for the Ku Klux Klan, recently left his pulpit to lecture in Missouri and Illinois for that organization. His aggressiveness in behalf of the Klan led to criticism by Bishop W. E. McMurray of a local church, at which time a verbal altercation between the two culminated in McGhee boiling suit against the bishop. This suit later was withdrawn. ATHENE, Jap. 8.—The Bulgarian government gave ex-King Ferdinand permission to return to Sofia from Austria. The former king was responsible for plunging Bulgaria into the world, war on the German side. In the midst of the political strife which followed Germany's defeat in 1818, he abdicated in favor of his son, Boris. Disturbed Hellas ATHENS, Jan. 8. - Greece's revolutionary government was turned over to the newly elected National Assembly by Colonel Phinatras, head of the revolutionary committee, while the galleries shouted, "Long Live the Republic!"

REMARKABLE TRIBUTES TO ROLAND HAYES, FAMOUS NEGRO TENOR, ON SECOND APPEARANCE IN NEW YORK A LEADING NEW YORK NEWSPAPER CANNOT FIND ADJECTIVES TO DESCRIBE THE "INEXORABLE APPEAL" OF HAYES SINGING The following unprecedented tribute to Roland Hayes upon his second appearance at Town Hall, New York, Thursday evening of last week, appeared in the New York Sun and Globe: "Another capacity audience, divided as to color in almost exact proportion, came to the Town Hall last night to hear Roland Hayes, the colored tenor, give a second song recital. Almost the only critical capacities to be put to use in reporting the concert should be applied to one a free authoritarian, which otherwise would run riot over the tenor's inexorable appeal and flawless finish of style. The program ran what is usually known as the gamut of musical demand. There was a Handel aria and a Berlioz legend, there was Beethoven's "Adelaide" and Schubert's "Du bist Dritk," with the "Fororelle" as an encore; there was Dupare and there was Cancel, and everlastly there were Negro spirituals and Negro secular songs, both printed upon the program and announced from the stage. "Of adjectives there was likewise a store. Among them one must mention first of all "human," profoundly and sincerely; one must add "Anlised" as a matter of course, with "easy," "liquid," "effortless," soon after. And long-before one has exhausted the collection one must fling up one's hands with the confession that the only explanation of such siding, its only adequate description, is a personal witnessing of this strange phenomenon, the combination of artist and universal neighbor. Heywood Broun, in his famous "It Seems to Me" column in the New York World, writes a sympathetic, discriminating estimate of Mr. Hayes and his work worthy of the best work Mr. Broun has done, and that is saying a heap, Mr. Broun says: Roland Hayes sang of devotion and it seemed to me that this was what religion ought to be. It was a mood instead of a creed, an emotion rather than a doctrine. There was nothing to define and nothing to argue about. Each person took what he liked and felt whatever he had to feel, and so there was no heresy. And, as for miracles, music itself is a miracle. For that matter, I saw a miracle in Town Hall. Half of the people who heard Hayes were black and half were white, and while the mood of the song held they were all the same. They shared together the close silence, one emotion enwrapped them. And at the end it was a single job. "He never said a mumbling word, sang Hayes, and we knew that he spoke of Christ, whose voice was clear enough to cross all the seas of water and of blood. It was inevitable that the newspaper reports the next day should speak of Roland Hayes as "a Negro singer." In an important sense this is not quite Development (From the Detroit News) General conditions in Africa were discussed by the Rt. Rev. W. H. Oyers, Bishop of Liberia, in a sermon broadcast from St. Paul's Episcopal Cathedral by The Detroit News station, WWL. Bishop Oyers is in this country on a leave of absence. "Africa today is owned by five great nations, Great Britain, France, Belgium, Italy and Portugal, and government of the continent, in a large measure, is commercial," said the bishop. "Conditions are improved, but there remains much to be done. It is the richest continent, the paradise of the man of commerce, and the land of opportunity. "In Africa a mighty black military machine is being built up, which some day will bring distress to the whole world. In Liberia alone in there true self-government for the African, a government founded by freed American slaves, a government which is an exact copy of our own. "Liberia is a territory of great possibilities. It is about the size of Pennsylvania. It has no railroads, no highways and only a small commercial fab truthful, for he is essentially "a slinger." Literally, there can be no quarrel with "a Negro singer." Mr. Hayes makes one of the favorite devices of us Nordies quite impossible. It is customary to say that when races mingle all the worst in each strain comes out and yet when any Negro of note appears the comment is made, "Oh, of course its his white blood which accounts for his ability." To and Hayes is very dark bronze, indeed, and his hair clings tight upon his head. No Nordie credits can be allowed in this case. This manifestation of grumbling belongs to Hayes and to his own people. There is no doubt that Hayes is, head and shoulders, the greatest singer of his race, but he is not an accident. Before him there came others preparing the way. First, there was the tradition and then there was Hayes. Negro missionaries in America have studied and trained themselves not only in their own music, but in the music of the world, and for the first ten years of his career it was from Negroca that Hayes learned and from Negroes that he received the appreciation and understanding which enabled him to go forward. I had never heard Hayes until Thursday, and almost all my preconceptions were wrong. I expected to hear a voice of great natural power and vitality, with a few rough-edge hero and there and a distinctly rugged, earthy quality. As a master of fact it is rather a small voice and the singing of Hayes is thoroughly so sophisticated. I am not using "sophisticated" as a term of reprehensible. There is no sense in using it that way, I mean that to me the acquired skill and knowledge of Hayes is greater and more noteworthy than his natural equipment. In the buzz after the concert I heard very often the comment: "Of courses he songs Negro spirituals man, naturally." A man does not necessarily know how to sing Negro music simply by being a Negro. Deems Taylor prompts me to say that one of the best Italian singers in the world today is a Canadian. I have even heard it said that almost everybody songs Italian music better than the Italians. But this is a side issue. The point I have in mind is that Roland Hayes didn't do his best singing in that half of his program devoted to Negroes. As a secular songs. His best number was Bellezole "Le Repos de la Sante Familia." However, I must admit that he sang spirituals very well indeed; and, for my part, I would rather hear spirituals than almost any other music. And yet there is one particular trick into which spiritual singers fall which nearly drives me wild. They will persist in acting as if they were funny. Hayes, of course, knows better than that.

Dec. 8.—The Special Service Squadron on its empire cruise arrived here recently. The foreshore and streets leading to it, were lined by an enthusiastic crowd, which cheered as the squadron steamed into the harbor. While a salute was being fired by King Tom Battery, Rear-Admiral Sir Frederick Field and the other officers of high rank landed and called at Government House, the governor subsequently returning the visit. We had always felt and proclaimed that missionaries were as much or more needed in some of these United States as in far-off Togoland. We are not by any means alone in this opinion. We reprint the following from the New York World: Savages at Home To the Editor of The World: As I sit here writing I can hear church bells calling to the people to attend worship. How many of them are really serious in their religion? A few days ago I read in your paper of the lynching of a Negro in a town in Oklahoma. How many or these people who go to church on Sunday read that article? How many of them gave it a second thought? It was considered just news by most of them and then forgotten. Charity starts at home. Would it not be better to contribute to funds to convert savages within our own great nation than send missionaries to distant lands? Teach our own savages within our great Nation to love their fellow man, instead of lynching him because he is a Negro. Let them show these savages the power of love and dispel the hatre which now fills their hearts. Send missionaries to Oklahoma and elsewhere in the United States where savages dwell.

HAITIAN PEOPLE SMARTING UNDER OPPRESSORS' LASH Elections Said to Be Forbidden by the High Commissioner Military Display in Progress in Portau-Prince-Machine Guns in Position The Negro World has been furnished with a copy of a letter addressed to President Coolidge, by Mr. Joseph Mirault, the New York correspondent of the "Courler Haitian" organ of national defense, which is as follows: "Mr. President:—I am writing through the medium of the press to inform you that I have been requested by the PUION Patriotique d'Haiti and the Haitian people as a whole to bring to your attention the following fact: "Six weeks ago Mr. Borne, the de facto President of Haiti, had an edict published in the Montreal" official organ of the government, saying that, after exchange of views with the Washington government, he had decided there would be no elections on the 10th of this month as provided in the constitution written for the Haitian people by the Washington government. "Knowing that such a decision could not have come from Washington, as he (Borno) claimed, some of the nationalist leaders brought the question to court. "Judge Leon Pierre, who tried the case, tendered a verdict in favor of that constitution, declaring Mr. Borno has no power to prevent the people from applying it. "Since then Mr. Borno, backed by the occupation, has been very busy throwing the motions in jail. And he declared that if the people attempt to go to the ballot box, as they intend to on the 10th of this month, they will be fired upon. "For the last three weeks a great display of force has been staged in Portland, Prince and some other parts of the country, machine guns being posted at strategic points. The people are wondering if those demonstrations are merely to scare them, or the forrunner of another wholesale killing. Anyway, they thought it best to advise you of the herein mentioned facts, confident that you will take immediate steps to prevent any further bloodshed on the island. The operations are under the direct orders of High Commissioner Russell and General MacDougal. "Messie, Jollibhs Filis, Elie Guerif, Antoline Pierre-Paul, Georgea Y. Itt Savain, Lemaire, who have been unjustly thrown into jail, have not been released. I beg to remain, Mr. President, your devoted servant. "JOSEPH MIRAULT." British Minister's Mission To Africa Deferred From the London Times It is announced that Mr. Ormaby-Gore's mission to the Crown Colonies in West Africa has been "deferred." As Under-Secretary for the Colonies, Mr. Ormaby-Gore had announced his intention of making a visit to these colonies on the same lines as Mr. Edward Wood's mission to the West Indies last year, and had his original plan held good he would have sailed from Liverpool recently. A comprehensive program had been arranged, and the people of the several colonies were looking forward to the opportunity of laying their constitutional and industrial problems before a direct representative of the Colonial Office. WARD S. S. LINE GOES INTO RECEIVERSHIP The New York and Cuba Mall Steamship Company, better known as the Ward Line, was placed in the hands of a receiver in equity by Judge Augustus N. Hand in the United States District Court late yesterday on complaint of the Wendell P. Colton Company. It has been rumored in Wall Street that the company was so hard pressed it would default on payment of bond interest due today. Judge Hand appointed Francis G. Caffey, former United States attorney, as receiver, under bond or $50,000. Mr. Caffey went to the general offices of the line, Pier 13, East River, and took charge. The complaint of the Colton firm, which has a claim of $14,191, sets forth that the steamship line has large assets in excess of liabilities, but says it is without cash to meet finance obligations on current bills or floating indebtedness. The complaint, drawn by Satterlee & Canfield, attorneys, of No. 27 William street, also alleges that some creditors are pressing the company and threatening to bring suit to libel the lineships and other property. It explains that a receivership is necessary to prevent a race between creditors for preference. The steamship company, in an answer filed by Ehrich, Wheeler & Walter, attorneys, of No. 67 Wall Street, admitted all the allegations in the complaint and joined in asking appointment of a receiver for protection of creditors and preservation of assets. The total indebtedness of the company, one of the oldest and best known American lines—it dates from 1811—is estimated at $7,000,000 in the complaint. Of this sum $5,102,000 is in 5 per cent. first mortgage bonds, which are not due until 1932. A semi-annual interest payment is due on the bonds today, however, and in addition to this interest the company owes other sums totaling about $2,000,000. It had been generally known that the shipping industry was hard hit by the world-wide post-war depression, but until the appointment of the receiver was announced only those on the inside were aware that the Ward Line could not squeeze through without outside aid. The complaint asked that an injunction be issued restraining any creditor from prosecuting claims against the line, and that the receiver be empowered to sell the property of the company, in whole or in part, as may be found necessary by the court. Judge Hand's order recognized both requests. The company is capitalized at $10,000,600, consisting of 200,000 shares of stock at $50 par, and, according to Poor's and Moody's Manuals, has a funded debt of $5,400,000. It was incorporated as the New York and Cuba Mail Steamship Company in 1907 in Maine to acquire the property of a company of the same name, which had been organized in New York State in 1811. The old company was generally known as the Ward Lino. Of the $10,000,600 capital stock $9,474,100 is owned by the Atlantic, Gulf and West Indies Steamship Lines. The line operates eighteen steamships, and also owns six tugs and twenty-nine lighters. Its ships ply between New York, New Orleans and Mexican Central American and West Indies parts. None of the line's officers or directors could be reached last flight.

Free Offer to All Truss Users LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday Night, January 6, 1923.—The futility of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill as a means of solving the race problem, bringing about a better understanding between the races in America and putting an end to the diabolical crime of lynching, was plainly put, and discussed before an audience that paved Liberty Hall to sight to the doors. The discussion was invoked by a meeting held earlier in the evening at a public meeting place in Harlem under the auspices of another organization when the speakers immediately with a flourish of fine words and phrases sought to impress the gathered people of New York that the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill would be the panacea for all their aims and address for all time the "gentle" pacture of lynching indulged in for over fifty years—since the emancipation—by the "large-hearted," Christian-minded" Southern sentry in America. To counteract these force, what misapprehensions pau, have been created these state while lovers of the Negro, the position of the Universal Improvement Association, in respect to the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, was clearly and pointedly stated in Liberty Bills to night by some of the leaders of the Association. Hon Rudolph Smith first touched upon the subject, declaring that there was no necessity for the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, since the Constitution of the United States was strong enough to give protection to every man irrespective of race, color or creed. The Negro as a part of the American citizenry was entitled, he said, to protection under the terms of the Constitution and all the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bills in the world would not give him any more protection. Taking up the role of the previous speaker, Hon. Marcos Garvey prefaced his remarks by stating frankly that the scattered world-wide membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association heartily endorsed and supported any measure that would render assistance and protection to the Negro. "We are for every measure," said he "that seeks to bestow benefit or advantage upon this race of men; but we are against hypocrisy, whether it comes from the public or any law moving around trying to deceive the Negro race." Mr. Garvey then set forth the reasons which made thinking Negroes dubious about the sincerity of the sponsors and proponents of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill in advocating the measure for the best interests of the Negro. He looked upon it as another trick designed to fool the Negro, and he warned Negroes to "beware of Greeks bearing gifts." "You can't catch human prejudice by law," he declared, "and there is no law in the world, divine, moral or legal physical or human, that can emblish the prejudice of man toward man." Therefore the Dyer Bill meant nothing, and Congressman Dyer, himself, knew well that it meant nothing. These are no justice but strength, and grace is no law but power, and Mr. Garvey, and he warned Negroes if they had sense and wanted justice, to get power and get it quick. When they shall have gotten power on their side there will be no more need for Mr. Dyer to come to Harlem or go anywhere else and talk about an Anti-Lynching Bill. "Not the kind of power that will come us to be hewers depending on others to do things for us, but the kind of power that will put initiative in our hands - initiative to do for ourselves, or die in the attempt."

G. E. CARTER'S ADDRESS Mr. Carter took as his subject "Freedom Through Truth." He said: "Somebody said, 'You shall know the truth, and that the truth makes free is free, indeed.' So if we are able to come into possession of our liberty through a knowledge of truth, I am sure that liberty is the kind of liberty that will stand the test of the ages. First, we ought to know the truth about ourselves. That is the individual truth. This is a very pleasant task, and you will find it worth while, instructive to investigate yourself, for in the investigation you will be able to disgive many things of practical benefit to yourself, and you will be able to contact humanity in general and you will be able to make that humanity you contact better for that contact. Know yourself. You must discover that you possess within your own lions the making or the unloving of yourself. You must understand and know that no real help can come from the outside that will be of material benefit to you unless the development first comes from within. You have got to come to that place in your experience where you must know and understand that each of you possesses a potent power, a power waiting to be awakened, and when this power is sufficiently awakened it will be of vast importance to you, and certainly the world will be made better because of your realization. Not only will freedom come to you by knowing your individual strength, but you will be able to be of practical benefit to this age and generation, if you will know the truth, and to your race. History of the Race Surely you cannot be blinded to the fact that this race of which you are a part has achieved many wonderful things in the past. Surely you must be abreast with the times and must know something about the recent discoveries made by Leopold Caramarvon and still pursued and carried on by Howard Carter from this country. Such splendor, such magnificence and such wonderful contribution, the like of which has never been seen before, has been discovered in the tombs of the Pharaohs in Egypt is that truth about a black people worthy of your knowing? Does it serve as an incentive to us to push forward? I hear you say that in the history of your life in the western world you know very little four years ago of your history, save in fragments, but today each of you who have come within the parks of the Universal Negro Improvement Association for five long years has grasped and understood more about the black people throughout the world than you have known in all of your history before, and this is due to the fact that we realize that in the setting forth of a truth this truth would bring freedom to men not only in a physical sense, not only in a mental sense, not only in a spiritual sense, but it would bring industrial freedom, it would bring economic freedom, freedom in every sense of the word, the kind of freedom that is calculated to make men and women take a stand and defend that stand, if need be, by giving their very lives. Know the Truth And not only I advise you to be interested in knowing the truth about yourselves and about your race, but I want you to know the truth about the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its great founder. I would have you know and realize that our work stands for very little if the word "Africa" is left out of it.

You can help the law of going through life without the drudgery of a bungling trust. You can do the same. You can capture and want instant relief, send your name and address to E. H.

So, if you are captured don't run the trap, put up a fence--don't delay, but at this time give advantage of Mr. Scott's generous offer. all we do and all we say, and every movement that is being made and every doctrine that is being preached, all is driving at one great conclusion—that in the end Africa shall be redeemed, and that there shall be a mighty movement on the part of black men and black women, and those who have been prepared shall return to the motherland, and those that have not been prepared can stay right here and get the hell that they deserve. For we must understand and know that when a great truth is preached in your midst—and this truth has been preached without adulteration, this truth has been preached fearlessly, this truth has been preached at the expense of much suffering on the part of the individual who came and gave it to us—if you are blinded to that truth, when the day of judgment comes—and I am not talking about the time when you shall stand before a great white throne—when men shall demand of you certain things, and when you are not able to meet the demands, when that great day of judgment comes, if you are still blinded, great will be your wrath, and somebody will cause you to sit up and take notice, because you were blinded to a great truth that is calculated to make men free. Therefore, if you will grasp the truth you can come to that true liberty, to that greater freedom, to that place in your experience where you will be able to stand and look the world in the face and say to the world. I have striven to keep the mandates handed down to me, and I have been so thoroughly imbued with the great truth that my whale soul as on her, my entire being is obsessed and possessed by this mighty truth, and because of its potential influence I shall be able to go forth by leaps and bounds, and as the new year comes in you will be able to talk, and sing, and run, and leap for joy, for truly the desired good must be accomplished, and the necessary steps have been taken that this year shall bring to us greater liberty in the pursuit of truth. (Applause.) HON. RUDOLPH SMITH SPEAKS Hon. Rudolph Smith was the next speaker. The Negro today, said he, is creating more interest among the nations of the world than any other race of people. He would go so far as to say that the Negro race is the most important of all races today because the Negro constitutes the greater portion of the human family. Of the 1,762,000,000 people that inhabit the earth, about 400,000,000 are Negroes. It was regrettable, however, that these 400,000,000 people have not got a government to protect their interests in every part of the world. It is true he said, that Liberia, with its 42,000 square miles and population of 2,500,000 people, and Haiti, with its 15,000 square miles and nearly 200,000 people, have a government of their own, but they constitute a small part of the Negro population, and even then they are threatened by European capitals because of the great potential wealth they possess on their native land. A. Change Effected The war of 1911 to 1918 brought about a complete change in world affairs. The thought was expressed that there must be self-determination for the world people. That was the universal cry held when the armistice was declared. The Indians, with them 500,000 people, made possible for India to secure its government, and a Mohitna Gandhi was produced to lead the Indians to self-government. They were heard in every part of the world and the entire universe became glammed, great Britain became alarmed and sent over Sir Edward Grey to see whether the situation could be changed, but nothing could be done. The Turk was awakened with a spirit of self-defernation and told the world that she was ready, and the Arabs did likewise, but 400,000,000 Negroes scattered in every part of the world, locked around and made the footsteps of other people and other governments, did not know in what direction to go. However, a great spirit began to move. A great change began to appear and the Negro said, "No longer shall I be a surf and a peon; no longer shall I be the other fellow's suspicious; no longer shall I run his elevators; I am going to make a change in world affairs." And the Negro sought in every direction to pick a leader to help them along. Suddenly a change came—the Negro must have a government. Some Negroes said a government for Negroes could never be accomplished. The American Negro said, "I am an American and I am going to remain and make my vote winning for the race." The British Negro said, "God save the King, and the King is going to make it better for us, and I am going to stand by King George and hold up the Union Jack." The French Negro said, "Wise in France," and held aloft the Tricolor of France. But now Negroes were dissatisfied and, "No longer shall we fight another battle; we have fought and strugged; we have given our lives back; we have carried their flag; we have won victory for others, and after the victory was won they sent us band and tynched us and assaulted us just the same; they kicked us around and made conditions more favorable even for their enemies who had fought them." And the new Negro said something must be done. Just at that time somebody came in the person of a little man. This little man walked around Lenox Avenue while this laughter at him with his little book under his arm. He spoke from a soap box on Lenox Avenue and Fifth Avenue and then in this great hall. In 1918 this man issued a call to Negroes to get together and when the armistice was signed the world had a problem on its hand. When they talked about a League of Nations this black man sold to the world "the fight is on, and if you are going to effect a League of Nations you have got to have the Negro in there with you." This black man told the world to get ready; he was shot because he made this demand, but he became bigger and bigger until now he may be regarded as the resurrected King, Tut-ankh-amen. He blew the trumpet and Negroes began getting together and to let the world know that they intended to form a government of their own equal to any government in the world. The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill Referring to the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, Mr. Smith said, this country had no right to have a Dyer anti-lynching pill. The Constitution of the United States, he said, is strong enough to give protection to every man, irrespective of race, color or creed. The Negro had a perfect right to be protected, but the Negro is black and because of his color they do not care to protect him, and all the Dyer anti-lynching bills will not give him protection. The only saliva he could see for the Negro is to fall in line with the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The most bell for Negroes to get behind is the position that the Universal Negro Impro- ment Association was no asking them to sign to make it possible to extend Africa. There is only one movement that will be instrumental in bringing about a government for Negroes, and that movement is the Universal Negro Improvement Association. HON. MARCUS GARVEY SPEAKS Mr. Garvey says my subject for tonight is "The Struggle for Power." The world is an eternal battleground where men enclose themselves in conflict with one another for the survival of the finest human group. This struggle continues through the centuries right down to the last minute of our existence. Whereever you and humanity you will find this eternal conflict—the eternal struggle. We have reached the point of our human history where we have divided ourselves up into groups having group interests and group desires. These group interests and group desires prevent the one group from being directly or even politically involved in the other. Twentieth century evolution has brought us face to face with a materialism so existing that a group feels that its supreme duty to protect its own interests is to protect the interests of others. Human Friendship and Fellowship When we talk about human friendship and human fellowship they must not be interpreted to mean a friendship or fellowship of the one for the other. It must be interpreted to mean friendship and fellowship within the race and for the members thereof. Any other interpretation placed upon friendship and fellowship is wrong in the twentieth century civilisation and twenty-th century materialism. It provides me as part of the Senior group when other members of my race try to impress me that other people are so interested in us as to leave their business undone to attend complete and thoroughly to ours. We have had so many of these problems in the face of the material problem. The treat myself every day as I am charged with the absolute responsibility of doing after itself, and when members of other groups try to impress the world that they are as much interested in the activities of another group as their own it is only to be interpreted as one of the means and method used by that race to deserve the other patterns of the world.

Signing of petitions of six million persons for creating a Government for Negroes. BIG NEW PROGRAM FOR THE NEW YEAR COME AND HEAR Be early to get seats from the individual race that desires to deceive others to whom they make those wonderful and beautiful statements. Among the many agencies used to convey these beautiful sentiments to the world has been Christianity. Christianity has been one of the most abused morals in the world. For hundreds of years certain people resorted to the beautiful moral and ethical truths of the Christian religion and used them to deceive the other portion of the world and the rest of mankind. When the other fellow wants to deceive you he tells you about Jesus; he tells you about heaven; he tells you about the beautiful things of the Christian religion, which he himself will preach to you but will never practice himself. He preaches them to you because he believes it is the easiest way to reach your emotion and appeal to your sentiment, and deprive you of that which he wants. Such a subterfuge the white man used in Africa. Such a subterfuge the white man has endeavored to use on all the unfortunate peoples of the world. He sends out his priest, his bishop and his missionary to foreign lands to foster the desire that he has—that of colonial domination or exploitation of native peoples and those lands. In the modern analysis of things we regard that as a subterfuge—the subterfuge by which one people is able to deceive others and take into power. That is responsible for the assig- nancy of certain cases over others at the present time. The rage that wants to get somewhere to the disadvantage of the other will adopt subterfuge by whether it does or other faces ther- ey acquire the rights that it de- feres to derive. Such a salient issue is being tackled up to the very minute and in our very mind. We are the Universal Negro Japonese Association, as we have often said and declared, love all humanity. We hate none in the great creation of God, but we realize that our first and greatest duty is loyalty to ourselves. In this presentation of the unity we become, therefore, we lessons of what is good and done to affect our system. We do not hate the white man. We regard and respect the white man as we respect and regard all humans, but we have reached the point where we are not going to die. White men are not yellow men and red men are not brown men. They have done their part in the creation of humanity because we have discovered ourselves in a soulless, heartless, material world. Dyer and His Anti-Lynching Bill I understood that congress in Dyer were around this neighborhood in New York today talking about his Dyer Anti-Lynching bill under the purposes of the National Association for the Abolition of Colored People. I want to see this frankly and openly that you measure that world peder- senter and protection to the Negro hit by slavery and supported by the scattered world wide membership of the University Negro Improvement Association. We are here every time that someone to seek to be brought to an arm upon this issue of care, but we are not going to play the role of the central force in new laws moving around trying to deceive the Negro community. My intention is that he does not not merely protect the Dyer Negro Lynchings bill. He does not mean it more than the deal implies to me that civil rights for all prisoners which they come to be pursued (Lynchings). Mr Dyer knows that he is but playing the trick that he has played for so turns trying to introduce the same compromise to the same hypocrisy that the same subjugation in Lexington conceived to Africa is the minima process to Africa and indeed to Asia. He is not speaking this propaganda of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill in the same way the white man spread Negro Emancipation of Newport News, Virginia, EAR er.

Evening Post, and will put into it the broad and liberal Americanism which characterizes his ownership of the Philadelphia Public Ledger, the Saturday Evening Post, and other high class publications. Mr. Curtis is a great deal more than a newspaper merchant; he is an American after the high and inspirational ideals of Joseph Pulitzer; who founded the New York World on service of the highest and best to the Nation and humanity, and whose sons have builted wisely, faithfully and successfully upon their father's foundation. Mr. Curtis will blaze his own way in the Evening Post, but it will be the high and noble way he has already blazed in the Philadelphia Public-Ledger. In the first issue of the Evening Post under its new management we find the following editorial paragraph which discovers the policy the paper will pursue towards the Negro people, as follows: As encouraging as the complete cessation of race riots in recent months is the extraordinary decline in lynchings during 1923. The total is given as 26, against 61 in 1922, by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The figures furnished by Tuskegee Institute are, respectively, 29 and 57. We are safe in saying that the ordinary number of lynchings in recent years, sixty or more, has been cut to less than half. In 1919 the total rose to 82. Nor is there reason to doubt that the improvement is due to permanent causes. One is the growing national reprobation of such crimes, which has brought about the agitation for the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. A second is the activity of agencies now promoting better race relations, some of them called into being by the post-war race riots. Most important of all is the renewed exodus of Negroes to Northern industrial cities, which has warned the South that it must treat its colored population better or lose an invaluable labor supply. Our observation and experience teach us that the white man is not disposed to be just to others, where he has the advantage, unless his interests are affected by being unjust. The Negro never has got in this country any measure of justice and fair play, in war or peace, unless it served the white man's interests to concoct it. It is a hard thing to say, but it appears to be true of the English speaking people in all of their relations with the Negro and other off-color peoples. It may be true, as the Evening Post says, that the lull in the lynching business and the falling off in the number lynched the past year may be due to agitation against lynching, to the agencies working for the promotion of better relations between the races, and to the migrant movement; but if the lynchers had not turned upon white folks, and the planter had not felt the loss of labor, there would have been no agitation against lynching and no concerted movement for better relations between the races. It is even so in the West Indies, in Africa and in the East Indies, and it does not in the least strengthen our respect for and confidence in the disposition of English speaking people to do justice by and give fair play to the Negro people anywhere. And they are the chief beneficiaries of Paul's apostleship to the Gentiles and are responsible to their Spiritual Lord, who is not unmindful of them and their doings.

THE STRONG ARM OF THE BRUTAL SOUTH THE mask was never pulled off the face of the Southern white man and his brutal treatment of the Negro people exposed more mercilessly than Mr. Howard Snyder has done it in the North American Review for January, under the heading, "Negro Migration and the Cotton Crop." After enumerating all the forms of Jim Crow legislation, mob terrorization, robbery by planters and storekeepers, and the absence of any appreciable social, church or educational life that could make living worth while, Mr. Snyder says: "Nowhere on earth among civilized nations are such atrocious outrages committed against human beings as are committed in the South against the Negro," and he cannot understand why the whites could expect the Negroes to put up with all these crimes against them "when a twenty-dollar bill will carry a man beyond" such. Mr. Snyder makes the answer to those Southern whites who labor under the impression that the Negroes who have gone away will straggle back to the death-life of the cotton fields and huts, that, "the fact is they are not doing it, and my conviction is that they will not do it." Why? Because they have found better things in the places where they have gone and are adapting themselves to the new and better things. We are sure that wherever a member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association comes across one or more of these migrants running away from the strong arm of the brutal South he will give him assistance according to his means. It is a brotherly duty. 775,000 Negro Women Are Now of Voting Age (Lincoln News Service) WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.—The 710- 000 Negro women of voting age who live in the northern and border states will be interested in the following general statement recently made by Mrs. Harriot Taylor Upton, the noted woman loner who is serving as Vice- Chairman of the Republican National Executive Committee. "In the coming national campaign," said Mrs. Upton, "women will play as important a part in the ranks of Republican organizations as men. They will be held accountable for results in whatever fields of the organization they are placed. Women are Republicans for the same reason that men are, and they should appreciate the fact that they, in common with the men, reap benefits equal with men from any policy which operates to the prosperity and welfare of the country, and they suffer equally with men from any policy which, because it is unconeconomic, or short-sighted, brings depression to business, illness to industry and unemployment and hatred to the hearts of the people." And we all need to strive on more and more zealously for the time when we shall have a State of our own in Africa where the Negro fugitive from oppression and wrong may find a safe asylum. THE BRITISH COMMONWEALTH OF NATIONS SHAKEN IN THE STORM IT is the proud boast of the British people that the sun never sets upon their Dominions and that their drum beat is heard around the world. There is much truth in that saying. And wherever this statement is true there are readers of The Negro World and members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association who are vitally interested in all that happens and that necessarily affects their welfare in the British Commonwealth of Nations. The development of the Dominions and the transfer of power to them from the mother country has perceptibly weakened the British central authority, and pretensions as an imperial influence in the affairs of mankind is very generally understood. The British Parliament no longer legislates for the whole British people and Downing Street no longer directs the affairs of the whole nation. The Dominions and Crown Colonies make their own laws. Canada even asserts its right to deal directly and make treaties with foreign States. What Canada insists upon now the other Dominions will insist upon in a short time. The more self-government they have the less dependence will they have upon the mother country and the less power and influence on them and on world affairs will the mother country have. This statement will appeal with force to the 170,000 colored women, who are gainfully employed in the manufacturing and mechanical industries, in trade, in professional service, in clerical occupations, and by the transportation systems of the country. And it will also influence the thousands of colored women voters whose husbands have found steady employment in industry through the curtailment, by a Republican administration, of the flood of European immigrants who for years have stood in the way of the industrial advancement of colored wage earners. African Labor Party Moves To Oust Jan Smuts The dismemberment of the British solidarity and hegemony seems as certain as that of Spain, which came about, after centuries of decline, in the Spanish-American war. No nation has prescriptive right to world domination. They have to take their turn at ruling. The British appear to have had their turn, having had the upper hand from the Protestant reformation of Martin Luther and the destruction of the Spanish armada, with its memorable periods in the reigns of Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria. PRETONIA; Jan. 4.—The Labor party at its annual conference here today confirmed the agreement tentatively entered into some time ago between the Labor, and Nationalist parties of South Africa. The avowed object of this is to join forces to oust General Saints from the premiership and to prevent the Saints Government from profiting by three-centered contests in the next general election. The pact was first entered into between the leaders of the two parties, last April. The British system of government is a limited monarchy. It is administered by parties, as in the United States. There are usually two great parties in both countrys. When there are three they get in each other's way and make all sorts of mix-ups and trouble. In the late British elections the Labor party forged to the front and now divides power with the Liberal and Conservative parties, with a working alliance of any two of them a difficult if not impossible matter. But the King has decided to ask Ramsay Macdonald, the leader of the Labor party, to form a ministry, and the fact has thrown Liberal and Conservative Englishmen clean off their feet. They never dreamed that despised labor would ever gain sufficient political prestige as to be called upon to administer the government. It remains to be seen if Mr.-Macdonald will be able to form such an alliance with the Conservatives as to enable him to carry on the government. The right of the King to dissolve Parliament is one of the deciding points in the situation. Mr. Macdonald contests the right. Indian Congress For Asiatic Federation Foons, British India, Dec. 31.—The Indian National Liberal Congress, after a lively debate, by a vote of 775 to 205, accepted, subject to reference to a committee, the Indian national pact calling for a federation of the Aesthetic peoples "for the emancipation of Asia." The congress rejected a Bengal Swarajist (home-rule) Hindu-Moslem pact. Author of "Onward Christian Soldiers" Dead The ascendancy of the labor parties in England, Germany and Soviet Russia, as an outcome of the World War, promises to have as far reaching influence on the destiny of mankind as the ascendancy of the proletariat of France and the establishment of the French Republic as an aftermath of the Napoleonic wars. LONDON, Jan. 2.—The Rev. S. Haring-Gould, famous author and composer of "Onward Christian Soldiers" Right to Vote Cannot Be Denied by Any State (From the Kansas City Call.) Those who disagree with the action of the Republican National Committee in retaining the present representation given, Southern States, and those who have advocated it cutting down of their number of members in the lower house of Congress, because of disfranchisement, have not chosen the best solution for the problem. It is wrong for citizens to be denied the right of franchise by subterfuge. The people of this nation made the supreme sacrifice to establish the present and political freedom of all, and crowned it with equality and citizenship. The Southern States, which have brazenly disregarded the intent of the majority and have made clear their bad motives, may be willing to surrender power in convention and in Congress in preference to obeying the law. The reduction of representation suggested by friends of justice in the North is, therefore only a palliative not a corrective measure. Respect for law is America's caring need. Simple acts of individual misconduct, mass crimes, wholesale disregard for the Constitution and its amendments, these all have the same origin. Having said that citizenship shall not be denied to anyone on account of race or color, the government should not permit it to be done at a price. Law enforcement is the short road to respect for law, and no pollination should be attempted. We prefer to see "rotten bough" system, under which one Southern white man is the equal of five Northern ones, continued until the righteous sentiments of the majority-compel law-breakers to desist. We would not bargain with them for a thing so vital, so sacred as law observance. Sun Yat Sen Threatens To Take San Francisco PEKIN, Jan. 4. "Within a decade China, India, Germany, Japan and India will join hands against those now dictators in the world." Sun Yet Sen, dictator of South China, declared in a speech to Christian students at Canton today. "How will you feel when the Chinese: I capture San Francisco?" he demanded, adding: "This alliance of which I tell you is already in the making." Sun Yat Sen is warring on the Pekin government and is greatly disappointed that American and Allied warships have prevented him from looting the Canton custom house. Railway of 4,000 Miles Soon Open in Australia MELBOURNE, Dec. 21.—One of the longest railroad lines in the world, from the City of Perth, Western Australia, to Cairns, North Queensland, a distance of 4,000 miles, will be opened in 1925. A final link of ninety-five miles, connecting Presperine and Mickey, Queensland, is under completion. New Year's Day was celebrated by more than 3,500 immigrants by putting feet on Ellis Island. The majority of the allens were from Germany. THE WORLD OWES EVERY MAN A LIVING CHANGE. By T. Thomas Fortune In his address before the Virginia House of Burgesses in defense of the right of the Colonies to secede from the mother country, Patrick Henry, a man of small reputation, leaped to fame by his appeal in which two sentences have made a marked impression upon the minds of those who have come after him. They are: 1. "Give me liberty or give me death." 2. "It is natural for man to indulge in the illusions of hope." indulge in the illusions of hope." And the Salvation Army people have a saying after this wise: "A good man may be down but he is never out." Then, again, we have with us always the old saying that "The world owes every man a living." All these sayings may be true; but it is also true that they envisage philosophical idealisms which do not always square with the facts of life. Only the very heroic prefer death to life when deprived of liberty. And what person in our civilization is not a slave to law, to customs, to public opinion and to the law of "eating his bread out of the sweat of his face"—when he cannot live by oppressing and robbing his neighbor. And if the world owes every man a living chance why are there so many men who may be considered as down and out, who have no visible means of support and sometimes have no place to lay their heads? Did they fail in the test, or did the test fail in them? And, if so why so? I have found that "the race is not to the swift, nor yet to the strong, but to him that endureth unto the end." Mostly. And I have found that the honest man is safe until he falls into the hands of thieves, escape from whom with his life he may regard himself as fortunate. The world may owe every man a living chance but it will not give it to him if a stronger man than he comes along and grabs it. It may even it up with the strong man as he goes along, but that does not much help the man despoiled. It is much like the justice of the law which sends the rogue to the penitentiary but does not give to the victim the goods he was despoiled of nor mend fits bruised or broken bones. The chance the world owes every man is the chance that he seizes and makes the most of and keeps out of jail while doing so. It is bad philosophy and very demoralizing and much to be deplored, but it is the philosophy which governs the conduct of individuals and of nations. "The master hath need of it," as Jesus said, and they proceed to take it if they have sufficient cunning or strength to do it. Those of us who strive to live the idealisms of life are always in danger of being despoiled by those who strive to live the facts of life, the stubborn facts upon which Jesus based the statement "unto him that hath shall be given and unto him that hath not shall be taken away even that he hath." Yet, "contentment with little is great gain," and it is better in all conscience to strive to get the living chance the world owes by fair and just ways than to get it by force or fraud. The average person does not reason in that way, and the world is no better place than it is off that account. But I quite agree with Shakespeare, and I hope you do, that "corruption wins not more than honesty; still, in thy right hand carry gentle peace to silence envious tongues withal." Yes; imagine that the world owes you a living chance and strive in all many ways to collect the debt as occasion arises. But all life is struggle, and he who cannot struggle will be knocked down and trampled upon by the surging, soulless mass, seeking selfish advantage. Prince of Wales to Visit South Africa LONDON, June 2- The Prince of Wales, who will leave May 2 on a trip to South Africa, is expected to visit all the principal centers south of the Zambesi River. He will engage in a shouting expedition in Northern Rhodesia before he leaves Africa for home. He will be absent from England for about four months on his tour. The Prince will travel this time on one of the regular lines instead of on the battle cruiser Renown, on which he made his voyage to Madagascar is being reconditioned for further service with the fleet. New York Labor to Open Fourth Bank in Year The fourth labor bank to be established in New York in a year will be opened next Saturday, at Fifth avenue and Twenty-first street, by the International Ladies' Gargant Workers' Union the United shirt Hot and Cap Makers' Union and affiliated bodies. WHAT WE BELIEVE THE Universal Negro Improvement Association advocates the uniting and blending of all Negroes into one strong healthy race. It is against miscegenation and race suicide. It believes that the Negro race is as good as any other, and therefore should be as proud of itself as others are. It believes in the purity of the Negro race and the purity of the white race. It is against rich blacks marrying poor whites. It is against rich or poor whites taking advantage of Negro women. It believes in the spiritual Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhod of Man. It believes in the social and political physical separation of all people to the extent that they promote their own ideals and civilization, with the privilege of trading and doing business with each other. It believes in the promotion of a strong and powerful Negro nation. It believes in the rights of all men. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS Much is being said of the return of the colored man to the South where once he was the mainstay as a laborer on the cotton plantation. Many are returning and we trust that they will find better working conditions and wages than those which they left and which encouraged such wholesale migration. If the Negro can succeed in bettering his condition in the South he has no objection to residing there, but any one must admit there is much room for improvement. The increase in the price of cotton should help both plainer and laborer. If such only helps the plainer he should have a hard time to secure labor until he is willing to share with him.—East Tennessee News. We readily admit that any careful study of the Bible will show that the great thing which Jesus Christ emphasized was simple neighborliness, love, fellowship, good-will: "The pure in heart shall be God"; "Love your neighbor"; The peacemakers are blessed; are some of His simple doctrines, and these are far more important than any questions of His personality—important as such questions are. We wish the world would have accepted this teaching apart from His personality, but it did not. The question narrowed itself down to accepting Jesus rather than his teachings. And, today, the question of Jesus Himself is far more important than the question of His teaching; for the one is the foundation of the latter. Discredit Jesus, undermine His authority, and His teachings topple to the ground.—Christian Recorder. We suggest that these lower minds, these smaller mentalities, these weaker vessels, announce once and for all that their chief ambition in life is to howl, and howl, and howl.—Pittsburgh Courier. One is volunteering evidence of his inferiority when he practices servility or arrogance. Most Negroes who display arrogance toward their own people do so from fear that politeness may be taken as acknowledgement that one is better than himself. In the case of the arrogant, educated Negro, it is the result of self-esteem, having no foundation in true merit or culture. It will be good for Negroes of all breeds and classes to cultivate the habit of treating all men with equal politeness.—Pittsburgh American. Negro leaders are predicting that President Coolidge has such an excited sense of justice that he maintains that the Negro should not only be accorded the right and privileges which the law vouchsafes him, but that he should help to discharge the responsibilities of the government through the discharge of public office. He has the chance to win back the Negro's friendship and gratitude, and we trust he has the courage to do the right. Newport News Star. The Republican party is rent by dissection as never before. The Progressive, and the Stand Patters have been waging a battle in both the Senate and the House of Representatives, and with a small working majority, the party has had a hard-time putting on its program; and the outlook for the party at the polls in 1924 is not what it should be. The Progressives, are lighting for strategic points, and the regulars are just as determined that they shall not succeed, and while the battle rages, the thinking men and women of our group are watching the three foremost questions that must be answered before the Negro will line up with any party or faction.-Dakota (Cul.) Voice. The Birmingham Negro must change his program. It may, not necessarily start with the labeling Negro; it could be with the professional and business Negro. These groups and this kind must radiate to the less fortunate the inspiration that magis profitable intelligence and worthy citizenship. Let us have a better program for 1924. Let us have a greater race, a greater community. Let us dare to do a complete service and attract the attention of the man who toils with his hands, who earns with his muscles. He must be inspired by the elevated, by the beauty of evolution and the marked examples of Intelligence.—Birmingham (Ala.) Reporter. Editor Vann is a politician. But if it requires the spelling out of the race in order to secure political favor, then the race will be better off without such political sleevades. It is reported in Washington, that he is seeking the position in the Labor Department left vacant by the death of Phil H. Brown. Editor Vann is financially strong enough not to care for a cheap job of that type. Therefore, he should be all the more able to realize that his position, as editor of a strong racial paper is higher, more responsible and more honorable than any of the few political jobs that the administration does out to the Negro—Washington Tribune. Yes, Editor Vann" of the Pittsburgh Courier "is a politician," a very cheap politician. There must be a full awakening of national conscience throughout the entire country which demand the rapid application of the stern hand of relentless justice in all cases involving those who participate in Lynching Bee. If not, then it is not far overreaching to imagine a day when disaster must accept over the country as a result of tolerated unlawfulness. Nexro Star. The professional beggar has no place in the affairs of any city. He contributes nothing to better affairs. He is a parasite and underserving of assistance. Steps should be taken to rid every community of undesirable. Who hope that with the clean-up now underway will relieve us of some of the prevalent professional beggars. Northwestern Bulletin. Lincoln Sought Hebrews' Creed, Says Mr. Zangwill (From the Daily News) CHICAGO, Dec. 30.—If the Jews had been good advertisers Abraham Ibn-Colm might have joined the Jewish Church," said Israel Zangwil, novelist and playwright, who spoke today at Sinai Temple. In substantiating his declaration Zangwil read from a statement once made by Lincoln in which the latter said: "If I ever found a church which has for its creed 'thou shuil love the Lord God with all thy heart, soul, mind and strength and they neighbor as thyself,' I would join it." "If the Jews had been good advertisers," said Zangwil, "Mr. Lincoln would have known that this is the Jewish creed." "This is the first time," he began his address, "I have been in a pulpit and it may be my last. I do not regard the pulpit any more sacred than I do the theatre, nor is the theatre any more sacred than the pulpit." Italians Lynch Church Robber ROME, Dec. 31. A mob of several thousand persons stormed a jail in the Celano district; near Avessano, a dispatch from the latter town announces, and removed and lynched a prisoner who was charged with having stolen from a cathedral in the district a number of valuable receptacles containing relics of the saints. (From the New York Tattler, Jan. 6) Timothy Thomas Fortune has been an outstanding figure in Negro journalism for forty-four years, and he was never more active than at this time, in the sixty-seventh year of his age. This is shown by the fact that he is editor of The Negro World, which has a more national and international circulation than any other race newspaper, as the official organ of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, whose master spirit is Marcus Garvey, and that he is a contributing editor of The Hotel Tattler, among the brightest and best, and of the Norfolk Journal and Guide one of our most influential newspapers of light and leading. Mr. Fortune was born at Marianna Jackson County, Florida. October 3, 1884. His father, Hon. Emanuel Fortune, was an outstanding character in the reconstruction period, serving in the Constitutional Convention and the five sessions of the Legislature following the adoption of the Constitution, which is still the Constitution of the State of Florida. The elder Fortune moved to Jacksonville, Duval County, because of the activity of the Kui Klux Klan, which threatened his life, and sacrificed all of his accumulations, which were considerable, in doing so. For five sessions Timothy was page boy in the Florida Senate, and thus grew up in the atmosphere of reconstruction politics. And they were warm politics. Timothy worked in the office of the Massachusetts Courrier before leaving that town, and continued the work in the Jacksonville Courier after moving to that city, where his father became prominent in politics and real estate development. His opportunities for getting an education were of the most limited character. At Marianna he attended for a short time a school conducted by two soldiers, Sergeant Smith and Mr. Devenport, both splendid men, and at Jacksonville he attended two sessions of the-Stanton Institute, conducted by two devoted Massachusetts women, the Misses Williams, two finer characters than whom never lived. About this time Timothy received an appointment as office boy and paper clerk in the port office and a year after, at the age of 16, he was appointed mall route agent between Jacksonville and Chattahoehic. After serving a year in this position he went to Washington for the purpose of entering Howard University, but was given an appointment as a special agent of the Treasury Department, to serve in Delaware, by the good friend of his father, Congressman William J. Purnum of Florida. After six months in this position Mr. Fortune returned to Washington and entered Howard University. He had deposited his savings in the Germania Bank, and very soon after he made his deposit the bank failed, and young Fortune had to give up his school work and go into the Treasury as a messenger in the internal revenue service. Mr. Fortune was a student in the normal department of Howard University under the inmasterful charge of Miesa Martha B.

Having married Miss Caroline Caraway Smiley of Florida, in the meantime and finding the going rather scrooby in Washington, Mr. Fortune went to Florida and taught school for two years in the counties of Madison and Duval. He was asked to come to New York by the late William Walter Sampson, who was working on the Daily Witness as a compositor. It was only a short time after joining Mr. Sampson that George Parker, who had been conducting a high class newspaper which he called Rumor, and got in financial difficulties. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 96. 97. 98. 99. 100. asked the young printers to join him in the publication. They did so. It was at this time that Mr. Fortune first signed himself as T. Thomas. The change had its significance. Mr. Fortune did not like the name Rumor and changed it to The New York Globe, which in the course of the years became the most famous newspaper the race ever had. In the struggles and changes that come the name was changed from time to time from Globe to the Freeman and then to The Age. From 1852 to 1900 Mr. Fortune was the only national leader the Negro people had. In 1884, as president of the Afro-American Press Association he delivered an address to the Association at Washington, on "The Negro in Politics" which attracted national attention and discussion. We then had no separate law legislation. Soon after he published a pamphlet entitled "The Negro in Politics" advising independent voting. Later he published, through Ford, Howard & Hulbert, a study in racial, civil and economic relations, "Black and White," the first study of its kind by a man of the race. Subsequently he published a volume of poems, entitled "Dreams of Life." For the period between 1879 and 1907, when Mr. Fortune, because of nervous troubles and financial difficulties, due to Dr. Washington's interference in the business of the paper, disposed of the Age and resigned from seven national organizations which he created or helped to create, he was the only national leader the race had. The organization of the National Afro-American League, in 1800, was the first great civic organization the race had, and it was the outcome of Mr. Fortune'sitation for a closer union of the race in matters which concerned it. During eighteen years Mr. Fortune was in daily touch with Dr. Booker T. Washington as friend and adviser and edited all of his books and magazine articles and public addresses and suggested most of his political appointments made by Roosevelt and Taft upon the suggestion of Dr. Washington. The meeting of the Negro Business League at Boston in 1890 was at the suggestion of Mr. Fortune on the promise of Mr. James H. Lewis of Boston that he would defray the expenses of such a meeting. Mr. Fortune, turning the matter over to Dr. Washington because he was supporting in part or wholly more national and State organizations than he could afford to, remained chairman of the Executive Committee until 1907. Mr. Fortune organized the Republicans of New York State and secured the appointment through Senator Platt of Charles W. Anderson to be our committeeman-zi-large, and he has held public office since on the strength of that; he also led the contention for mixed schools in New York and secured these during the gubernatorial terms of Grover Cleveland and Theodore Roosevelt, with Dr. P. A. White and T. McCants Stewart on the school board through his agitation and efforts, and he held the basis of the 16th Regiment in a regiment organized and financed in the Spanish-American War, which he and Mr. Stewart supported and which Governor Frank Black of New York and Secretary of War Alger refused to admit because the condition of acceptance was made that the regiment should have Negro officers. Mr. Fortune delivered an offer of the THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 12, 1924 Liberian mission under President Harrison, because he preferred his independence as an editor, and accepted a special mission to the Philippines in 1900 from President Roosevelt as a matter of service, and came out of the job heavily in debt because the per diem allowed was insufficient. President Roosevelt offered Mr. Fortune the collectorship of Internal Revenue for the Newark-District at the time Mr. Anderson was appointed to the lower New York district, but the matter fell through because Mr. Fortune opposed the understanding between President Roosevelt and Dr. Washington to give such commanding positions, a half dozen, to Northern Negroes in exchange for giving liberal Democrats all of the offices in the South in the hope to split the Solid South. Mr. Fortune could not see it then and he does not see it now. The friends of Dr. Washington freezes o. Mr. Fortune after he lost control on the New York Age through the direct convince of Dr. Washington, after there appeared to be a break between them, which Dr. Washington, for his purpose, was responsible for, and not Mr. Fortune, and the friends of Dr. DuBois freezed, on him because of his friendship for Dr. Washington and his policies, and between the two Mr. Fortune has often come nigh being crucified in his head and butter, but he has always remained on the fire line and is very much on it right now. And the Old and New Negro have tried to blot out the leadership of Mr. Fortune from 1880 to 1807 by studiously ignoring the work of agitation and organization and the literary work that he did in newspapers, magazines and books, but they will fall utterly to do it. Because Mr. Fortune is still and has been very much on the job and will see that they do not do it. In fact, no sufficient history of the Negro race in America can be written which ignores the agitation and constructive work of Timothy Thomas Fortune. This view of the matter may shock Dr. DuBois, Dr. Carter G. Woodson, Mr. James W. Johnson and W. S. Braithwaite, with Mr. George W. Forles and Mr. Fred R. Moore thrown in for good measure, and other historians, anthologists and publicists, but it is truth and can't be rubbed out. When history is made to serve the purposes of hatred and vindictiveness it becomes fiction, and much of history is of this sort, especially Negro history, so little of which we have. Note—The publication in the New York Age of December 29, 1923, purporting to be a "Brief History of the Growth and Development of the New York Age from 1850 to 1924" as for as it relates to Mr. Fortune and his development of the paper from Rumor to the Age, is a tissue of falshood and no history at all—T.

VOICES FROM ARABIA By ETHEL TREW DUNLAP Often Jethro raises gently from the past and beckons me Where the posture lands of Mollon Spill their fragrance by the sea; And on wings of happy fancy To romantico lands I fly. (Where Jethro worshiped Moseo, Viewing it with splendid eye. Sable forms rise up to greet me, Shepherdess Zipporah sweet; Moses, with the fleck he tendered, Face to face with them I meet, And Zipporah's tender glances In historic well I see; Moses bonding fondly over he; Jethro, too, looks back at me, In their company, so noble, I ford the cares of day; Moses' bark goes lightly sailing.

Then I see the white acorn, Flaming on the desert sand, Hear the voice that counseled Moses. To return to Zipporah's land; View the porting so hard— For affection's to was long.

Has Been Discovered LUXOR, Egypt, Jan. 4 (Associated Press).—With the discovery of the colossal sarcophagus of Tutankhamen, enclosed in a nest of four wondrous shrines, the question whether the mortal remains of the Pharaoh lie in this mortuary chapel has finally been decided. The sarcophagus has remained intact through thirty centuries, unyolated by the sacrilegious hand of tomb robbers. Yesterday was one of the great moments in Egyptology, bringing fruit to so much toll, reward for so much dis appointment and crowning a long and great effort. Howard Carter, when by the light of his powerful lamps he loosened the seals of the fourth golden casket to gaze on the outline of a huge stone coffin of pink granite quarried at Assad, must have felt something like Brugesch, the German Egyptologist, at another great moment in the annals of Egyptology, when by candle lights in the Deir-El-Bahari sophiarch some years ago he read the cartoons of more than thirty Kings and Queens of ancient Egypt hidden there. Here was definite confirmation that for the first time in history the unviolated sepulchre of a Pharaoh of ancient Egypt had been discovered. Here, in a coffin of graven stone, of workmanship rivalling the greatest masterpieces, must unobtrudely lie, inclosed in magnificently decorated mummy cases, the body of the King as the precess had him to rest more than 3,000 years ago. Mr. Carter now is sure that upon him develves the task of revealing to the world how a King during one of the greatest art periods of Egypt was laid to rest, and the imagination here and elsewhere is aroused over the treasures which probably will be contained in the huge stone coffin. In the Valley of the Tombs of the Kings today hope was high that, when the sarcophagus and its mummy cases are opened, the royal mummy will be disclosed surrounded by the full patency of the King's royal and sacred office. Owing to the vast dimensions of the outer canopy, which is quite dwarfed by the proportions of the sarcophagus with some surprise. It was included in the fourth of a nest of four shrines, an arrangement different from anything yet discovered. All the shrines are profusely gilded, and the fourth, like the preceding ones, is abundantly decorated with cartoons and the figure of the King. The great stone box, glamourably in the electric light amid all this blaze of gold, produces a most profound impression upon the little group of privileged spectators. Owing to the size of the sarcophagus and the cramped dimensions of the mortuary chamber, possibly it will be sometime before the Lolon can be raised to examine the contents, especially as a preliminary to this will be the removal, at least, of the roof of the second, third and fourth shrine. Mr. Callender of the Metropolitan Museum, New York, was busy this afternoon in the well of the tomb sawing off specimens of loss from partitions and the hotel of the socied doul for examination. Despite their age some of the beams are extremely gold. Each successive stage of yesterday's proceedings was photographed for record purposes, and the photographer was in the tomb again this morning taking pictures. Gems in Rich Profusion Set Around Sarcophagus LONDON, Jan. 1. According to a dispatch to the Exchange, Telegraph from Luxor exquisite gems are set in rich profusion around the sarcophagus of Tutankhamen. Pharaoh's Casket of Red and White, Luxor, Egypt, Jan. 4. (Associated Press). The sarcophagus of Tutankhamen has been brought to light after remaining hidden for more than 3,000 years in the tomb in the Valley of the Kings. The long sought for treasure, carried from phikshik granite, probably Assouan stone, lies within the fourth casket of blazing gold—a casket even more brilliant than the other shrines enclosing the sarcophagus, its doors covered with LIVELONG Feel 10 to 30 Years Younger If you feel like a victim of the HOOK WORM, if your meals don't taste good, or you don't sleep well, you are losing your pep.

Marvel Building, Pittsburgh, Pa. touches of the dead Pharoh, surrounding a figure of the monarch. The sarcophagus is elaborately carved and there is reason to believe it will prove to be—of even greater artistic value than the pink sarcophagus of Hirmahlb, or the famous alabaster coffin of Seti I. in the Soane Museum in London. Following up yesterday's discovery of the fourth casket, the search was proceeded with, and in the presence of Professor Percy E. Newberry, the noted Egyptologist, and the other members of his staff, Howard Carter, in charge of the exploration, abolished the doors of the fourth shrine, disclosing the sarcophagus and finally establishing the fact that the last resting place of Tut-ankh-Amen had really been discovered. News of the opening of the second and third shrines in the tomb yesterday led to an exodus of visitors across the Nile this morning en route to the Valley of Kings in the expectation that, as was the case last season, they might have the privilege of seeing trays laden with the treasure of the eighteenth dynasty brought once more into the light of day. It is unlikely, however, that these aspirations will find fulfillment, for Howard Carter's investigation of the next of the shrines is still in the reconnaissance stage. It is thought probable that he wishes to satisfy himself if possible as to whether the body of the Parahoe is actually in the last case within the golden shrines before he proceeds to the less exciting but indispensable labor of dismantling completely the outer shrine.

HOOK WORM By G. EMONEI, CARTER Subject: "Forgetting and Reaching." Text. Philippians, 11, 13: "Forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forth unto those things which are before." The Apostle Paul was in the Maritime prison when he addressed these memorable words to the church at Philippi. The expression is somewhat paradoxical, for it is difficult to forget the things which urge us to reach forward. Yet it can be done, and I will try to set forth briefly how we might succeed. I. Paul tried to forget the unpleasant past. It is ever thus with one who is conscientious, when there is something dark in the past that we are anxious to forget. Paul recalled the scene, when, as a young zealist, he stood by and held the cloaks of those who were putting to death St. Stephen, because he dared to capuse the cause of Christ. Paul remembered how he had done his best to persecute the Christians and to ridicule the Christ. And now that he had changed his conduct, his attitude and mind toward the Christ and the cause, he was anxious to stone for every wrong committed in the past. This is a very difficult thing to accomplish. All nature attests this fact. Look at the great Mississippi River; we cannot forget the summer rain and winter snows, the streamlets, rivulets, brooks and rivers that contribute to make her great. We behold the giant oak, towering in all its glory, contributing to man's need in more than one way; yet we cannot forget the little acorn which held such a splendid life. We gather the ripe, luscious, mellow apple and eat with real joy, but we are made aware of, the death incurred by the little seeds which cling to the heart of the good fruit. So it is with us, when we decide to do right, the wrong past ever looms up; but we can overcome it if we understand the law of memory. Memory serves us at its best when the mind is idle. But when we are busy with the things of the present or even speculating for the future the ghosts of the past cannot disturb our course. Paul know such a law, and therefore he was successful in reaching forward. He knew and realized that niggy, real life was not in the past or even in the present; but that the future held for him its true frultuition. He crowded into the present every desire for real atonement, and redoubled his efforts by devoting his entire life in undoing the miserable past. He did not stop to pine over the past nor to regret its happenings; but rather, he understood its $500 Reward If I Hair SPECIAL PRICES TO DRUGGISTS AND AGENTS 1924 Program for Ne A Call to the Negro People of TO HE.

When in the past some mistake has been made and we realize our blunder, then the "pressing forward" is a great urge. A life without mistakes is a life without effort. It is a life that is indolent and without trial. The future holds much for every one. It is your big job to reach for its holdings. In proportion to the effort you put forward to obtain, so will you achieve your desired goal. There is joy in the reaching when the anticipation justifies the effort put forward. Such real joy is to be had in crowding the present with deeds of mercy, love of sacrifice and absolute determination to succeed in your chosen line of right doing. There is joy in reaching after the fuller things of life, knowing full well that its holdings are real and lasting. The crown of honor, glory and power is yours, but it rests in the future. Your forgetting the past, laboring in the present and reaching for the future will bring it to sit with becoming grace on your sable brow. Let us in this new year forget the unpleasant things of the past and reach forward to the goal of our ambition. Let us crowd out the dingy past by doing in the present the hard things that come as duty; in this we may assure the future as worthy of our reaching.

SPANISH TOWN, JAMAICA Insland Supervisor Conducts Charter Unveiling Bantiago de la Vega, as it is known to the older inhabitants, or Spanish Town, as the younger generation calls it, woke up to the fact that the U. N. I. A. is now firmly established in its midst. It has been a hard fight to get conservative and proud St. Jago to take kindly to the progressive and aggressive spirit of the association, but by perseverance all things are eventually accomplished. The unveiling of the charter of the Spanish Town division, No. 709, was fixed for Sunday, December 18, 1923. Fine weather prevailed and everything went off without a hitch and, according to the arranged program. The fine band of the Kingston Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, composed largely of ex-bandmen of His Majesty's West Indian Regiment, headed the procession, which started promptly at 3:30 p.m. . The procession formed up in front of Liberty Hall, No. 29 Hanover street, under the command of Captain Gibson, U. A. L. of the Kingston Division, who was also in charge of the legions who came over to assist the units of the Spanish Town Division. The legions made a fine show, as also the eight Black Cross nurses from Kingston. The Spanish Town Division was represented by the officers to be installed, twenty Black Cross nurses, fifteen Day Scouts, and five Girls' Guide. The unveiling ceremony was conducted by the Hon. S. M. Jones, commissioner for Jamaica. The meeting opened with the singing of "From Greenland's Ice Mountains." Mr. W. Manning presiding at the organ. The commissioner read the prayers from the ritual, after which an address was delivered on behalf of the Spanish Town Division. Miss Sterling, a promising young equestrianist, and a member of the Kingston Division, received "The Sail" which was received with great applause. The commissioner then announced the unveiling of the charter. This was done by two juveniles, Misses Mignott and Jarrett. The Ethiopian anthem was played by the band, every one standing to respectful attention. The IHan. S. M. Jones then announced that the division was now officially a part of the greatest association in the world. Dr. Bruce Forbes, executive secretary of the Kingston Division, then addressed the audience. He delivered a brilliant speech, full of fire and inspiration, which held his audience spellbound. The following officers were well awoken: L. W. Hall president; Reginald Lewis, first vice president; Jacob Smith, second vice president; R. R. Nobile, secretary; C. V. Mowatt, secretary; Robert Cambers, chairman of the trustee board; David Porter, secretary of the trustee board; Messrs. Charl E. Bowman, Enstance Sammon, Captains Snow, trustees; Mrs. Sarah Mignott, lady-president; Mrs. Enaza Mignott, lady-president; Mrs. Matthews Henry, second lady-president; Mrs. Catherine Miles, third lady-president; Mrs. Retina Wright, lady secretary. After the swearing in of the officers the meeting was brought to a close with the singing of the national anthem. C. B. NELSON. COLORED. DOLLS Special Presence in Drugs and Agents by the Grass or Dove AT YOUR DRUGGIST OR DIRECT FROM NUEVITAS, CUBA The officers, members and friends of the above division met at our Liberty hall on Sunday, 16, to render thanks to God for his tender mercies. The hall was well attended and the meeting started at 4.45, the president being the chairman. After the usual opening a lesson was read from St Luke 21 and 15, followed by the singing of the hymn, "O God our help in ages past." The president, who also acted as chairman, preached an eloquent sermon, taking his text from 2nd Cor. 9 to 16th. After the religious part of the meeting was ended the president handed over the meeting to Mrs. Doldon. The program was as follows: The first speaker was Mr. H. Vander Pool, then Mr. J. J. Cooper; recitation by Master C. Archer, "Lesting the Tiger Loose"; recitation by Miss E. Miller; recitation by Misses Cooke and Smith, "Melae. Redeemed"; recitation by Mrs. McDonald; recitation by Miss L. Bailner; musical program: Chloe Anthem, Thanksgiving, Anthem, "Shannon Tenderly Leading"; quartet, Mrs. D. Smith, Miller, Mr. Becket and L. Discorn; solo tenor, Mr. L. Blake; tenor solo, Mr. G. Reahood; solo contralto, Miss E. Miller; duet, Miss Baxter and Mr. Becker; dupt, Miss Palmer and J. N. Hamilton; bass solo, Mr. L. Discorn; quartet, Miss Truneman, Dixon, Miller and Bocket. During the singing of, "We Plough the Field and Scatter," the envelopes were taken up and a good sum was gathered in for which we render thanks to the infer of good and perfect gifts. After the announcements were given out the secretary called the names of the financial members, and our Thanksgiving meeting came its close. PALMARITO DE CANTO December 2 will long be remembered by the members and friends of the Palmerito Division and will go down in the history of the local as one of the outstanding landmarks in the progress of this determined division to move up in the vanguard of divisions which are moving on toward African redemption. The enthusiasm exhibited by those present was extremely encouraging and of a helpful nature and proved conclusively that the U. N. L. A. is rapidly growing in spite of the enemy's propagand. The Black Cross Nurses rendered yeoman services and made a fine showing in their uniforms. Great credit is due Mrs. J. L. Stewart, who acted as musical director. The procedures started with a procession from the home of our treasurer, Mr. R. Christie, and marched through the principal streets of the town. A beautiful banner presented to the head by the Black Cross Nurses was carried at the head of the procession. This banner of our division here, the inscription, "Africa Must Be Free," the charter number of the division and four links. The letterer was done by Mr. J. B. Williams. The thesis of the U. N. L. A. Cuba and the United States were also carried through the procession. Several delegates from other V. N. L. A. divisions were present; Mr. R. S. Blake, president of the Banes Division; Mr. C. Primus, Mr. J. Plummer, Mrs. W. Turner, lady president of the Marrane Division; Prof. A. Bollom, organist Minzilu Division; Prof. A. Bollom, organist Minzilu Division; Mr. V. Roblquez, president of the Sanfargo Division. The meeting opened with the singing of the opening song, "From Greenland" by Montana; Mr. E. J. Watson, chapman of the Miranda Division, was specially invited to act as chairman for the occasion, and certainly filled the post with credit and satisfaction. The speeches were full of enthusiasm and inspiration and were of a high order. Special mention must be made of Mr. R. S. Blake, and we take this medium of congratulating the Banes Division for having such a fine president. His mode was calm, masterful and to the point, and was the means of convincing men who were outside the fold to join the movement. The meeting was brought to a close with the singing of the Ethiopian anthem. BELOW FAR FROM STUBBORN BLOOD DISEASES?

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 12, 1994 Enthusiastic Mass Meeting On Sunday, December 17, the Banes division had the usual mass meeting. A procession by the uniformed units, commencing at 7.30 p.m., took place. There was a large gathering. The meeting was opened by the assistant chaplain, Mr. J. Mathis, who gave a very inspiring address. He next introduced the chairman for the evening. the president, Mr. R. F. S. Blake, on taking charge of the program, struck the gavel and the entire audience arose and justly sang the first verse of the national anthem, after which he gave a forceful address. His subject was on three G's. The first G he said, meant gold. The writer of the hymn said he cared not for riches, nor silver, nor gold; but the new Negroes want gold, for, without it, we cannot get along. The second G means the Gospel as proclaimed by Christ, when he declared, "Render unto Caesar the things' that are Caesar's," and to God the things that are God's," and that we need more John the Baptists' in the U. N. I. A., as the treatment noted out to us was caused by God for us to concentrate our thoughts on Africa. The third G means Garveyism," and with these three G's the New Negroes mean to carve a way to success. The items rendered were a quartet by four members of the choir, which was beautifully rendered. A 'Juvenile, Master Leopold Donaldson, gave an address on the life of Booker T. Washington, when a slave boy. A duet by the chapplain, Mr. C. M. Clark, and a lady, entitled "Pressing On," this was well rendered. Mr. B. A. Simms also gave an inspiring address on the things that are most necessary for the achievement of the Negro face. A clarinet solo by the musical instructor, Mr. F. Evans. The division was favored with a visit from the president of the Santiago Division, who, on being introduced, gave an address of his personal experience of the treatment acted out to Negroes on the quarantine grounds at Santiago and that his vault to Banes and other divisions of the U. N. I. A. was intended to draw the attention of Negroes to form what he named as the West Indian Defense Club so that through this club they will get the officials of Cuba to assist in abolishing the cruel and unjust treatment to Negroes on the quarantine grounds. The second lady vice-president, Mrs. Adina Jones, gave a rousing address. She spoke of liberty or death. She said the Lord had given Moses to deliver the children of Israel, and so we have in our midst today a Moses in the person of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. A hymn and prayer for Mrs. M. Mattis, a member of the A. B. U., who was leaving for Jamaica, after which the assistant chaplain closed the meeting by moving the last verse of the national motto. This closed a well conducted meeting. MARIANAO, CUBA --- The Marianoño division of the U. N. I. A. held a Christmas morning service, Dec. 25 at 6 A. M. The service was well attended and the people were in a good and cheerful spirit. After the singing of the openingode and the National anthem, the chapel led the congregation in prayer. The following officers were present: Mr. E. L. Dugan, vice-president; H. G. Smith, executive secretary, and W. Chance, general secretary. We have to thank Mr. and Ms. Purcell and Miss Palmer who assisted in making the event a success, rendering some really fine vocal selection. Mr. I. Williams acquired himself with credit at the piano, also Mr. Graham who played during dylive service. On Christmas evening the division had a Christmas tree party; this affair was also well attended. Several attractions were prepared by those responsible for the evening's entertainment. The cake stall was in charge of Mrs. E. Pirelli, the beauty parlor under the management of Miss Palmer received a fair share of patronage, while the post office was in steady demand all the time. The school function, which marked the ending of the Christmas term, was a huge success and the children who took part in the performance certainly did great credit to their teacher, Mr. R. A. Perrin. CINCINNATI, OHIO Helping the Poor at Xmas The members of the Cincinnati Division No. 146 are very interested in their fellow men. Every stranger that comes to the division for help receives something, no matter how small it may be. Two weeks before Christmas, the president appealed to the members for a donation to help the poor. To this the people responded. There were 150 kaketa sent out to the poor on Christmas Day. Among the many things that were donated were oranges, apples, coffee, Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes, sugar, lard, flour and meal. Rev. Edward Gray, first president of the Cincinnati Division No. 146 of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, was appointed president of the Dayton, Ohio, Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Rev. Gray is a hard and earnest worker. The Cincinnati Division were very sorry to lose such a worthy man. The Division gave him a healthy send-off. DAYTON, OHIO The members of the Dayton division are determined to do more and better work in the cause of Africa in the coming year. We hope to make such progress as will cause the Parent Body to appreciate the help which we shall give them in their 1924 program. We intend to devote much of our time and energy to the training of the young members of the division, as we fully realize that the real work will fall upon the coming generations and it is important that they be taught the doctrines of the Association from a tender age. On the evening of Dec. 26, the Legions of our Division served a turkey dinner which was a great success. After the dinner a splendid program was rendered, and everyone seemed pleased of the able manner in which the different numbers were presented. Special mention must be made of Mrs Dora Drake for her untiring efforts and the success which she has attained in the training of our little ones. She is a real face, woman and the Dayton Division is extremely proud of her. Several interesting speeches were made urging the people to prepare themselves to go to Africa, where they would be able to build up a Government in which Norroes would be able to rise from the lowest to the highest positions. The meeting was brought to a close with the singing of the Ethiopian National Anthem. CENTRAL FRANCISCO, CUBA A mass meeting was held at the above-mentioned place on Sunday, Dec. 2, and was well attended by the members and friends of the local, Mr. Alexander S. Brown, chapain, opened the meeting, and after the singing of a hymn from Sankey, he delivered an inspiring sermon, taking for his text the 18th Chapter of Isaiah. He handled his subject in a mastery manner and held the audience spell bound during his entire talk. Mr. John Samuels, possessed of the division, gave a powerful address, which aroused great enthusiasm among the members and friends present. He said in part: "If the Negroes of the world were to come together and give of their blood and money we could form a government so strong that only God Almighty could amach. We must be prepared to care, since our very lives if needs be in order that the coming generations might not suffer the same disadvantages as we are suffering." The other speakers were I. Bashul Bulkan, M. C. Williams, M. E. Perrigo, who spoke on objects and aims of the Association, and Mr. Richard Brown, Several roles and positions were tendered and the meeting brought to a close with the signing of the anthem. While our meeting was in place, a few misguided Nervous attentions to disturb the proceedings, and were asked to quit the building, which they refused to do. The president then called in the Cuban police, who arrested them, and they were used $10 each, and made to respect the color of the organization as we are required under the Cuban government.

The meeting was opened with the singing of "From Greenland's Ice Mountains." Brother Williams occupied the chair. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed, after which the correspondence of the division, which was, of paramount importance, was brought to the attention of the members. Several interesting speeches were delivered. Mr. Lindoo was the first speaker for the evening and delivered a very scholarly address on "The Nature of Man." Mr. Hart, also gave a very spicy talk on things affecting the Negro and the darker races in general. The chairman urged upon the audience the importance of embracing Carverley and said that he regretted that the Negroes in the East End of London were so aptate in those things which so vitally affected them. The president of the division spoke in high terms of the Labor party who had assisted materially the unemployed Negroes in the district. The meeting was brought to a close at 9:39 with the singing of the Ethiopian anthem. OLD HARBOR, COSTA RICA On Monday evening, October 1, 1923, a meeting was called to order by Col W. A. Fraser, a military instructor of the African legions, for the purpose of reorganizing the units. This meeting was approved by the president. After the slinging of the opening ope, pray it was said, followed by the reading of the fourth chapter of James, which dealt with the fact that if the sling oppress the weak confession and war will mark the path of humanity, Col Fraser, who is an eloquent speaker, after giving an encouraging address, announced himself in task of reorganizing the auxiliary was assigned to him, but that he could not understand it unless the meditations would give him their heart support. His intention was to introduce the erotic discipline in the ranks and give the division a Why Be Unlucky? ```markdown ``` MAGNIS MAGIC WORKS 12 W. 16th St. New York, Desk NW.

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

The personnel of the delegation was named and evoked great enthusiasm and satisfaction. The 1924 program of the association will be announced immediately on the return of the delegates from the motherland. All members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are requested to be as conservative as possible in saving and preparing for the African repatriation boom of 1924-1925. The following persons contributed to the meeting toward the delegation fund: THE U. N. I. A. AND THE DYER ANTI-LYNCHING BILL my course in life. I have lost complete interest in Mr. Dyer, and I want that to be conveyed to him. I have lost complete interest in him because I know he does not mean what he says in his presentation of the so-called Dyer Anti-Lynching bill. How could he mean it in the face of conditions and circumstances and environments that them him in. He is just a white man like the rest of the white people of this country. His supreme interests must be that of the white race, and if he tells me to the contrary I will tell him, to his face that he is mistaken. Every white man in this country that is conscious of himself is bound by law morally, legally and in every way to think of himself first before he thinks of others. Otherwise he would be a rebel and a traitor to his race. And when Mr. Dyer comes and tells me to tell fifteen million Negro people of the United States of America, that his intention is to pass a bill that will permanently and for ever stop the abuses to Negroes in the South and other parts of the country, I tell him that he is a camouflage and a deceiver. He wants probably to pass the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill, true: I wouldn't doubt him in that. I believe Mr. Dyer wants to pass the bill, but before Mr. Dyer presented that bill, Mr. Dyer made cockure that that bill, would not solve the Negro problem in the way the Negro wanted it solved, and that there would be nothing to the bill. He made cockure before he drew that bill that the bill would mean nothing to the Negro if passed. Mr. Dyer had already contrived this as a method of fooling Negroes: "Pass the bill, and let them believe that that will settle the question, and we will adopt some other method to fool these Negroes." There are many ways of killing a dog without putting a rope around the dog's neck. Some say it is inhuman to hang the dog and great agitation is being made about hanging the dog with a rope. My supreme desire is to kill the dog somehow, but public sentiment is against --- June 21; 1923. Black Cross Nurses, Newark, N. J. Roll, Newark, N. J. Newark, N. J. Waynean Lynk, Newark, N. J.

(Laughter) New Negro Cannot be Fooled New Negro Cannot be Fooled By Mr. Dyer thinks he has sense enough to fool all Negroes he makes a mistake. There lie those Negroes of the Universal Negro Improvement Association who it will take hell and all the world to fool. We did not go to school for nothing. My great-great-grandparents did not get those lashers on their hands for the years for nothing to give me that intelligence that I have now to make other men fool me in the twentieth century. They will have to come cleaner and better than that. They have to deliver the real goods and do not come with all this camouflage, beating their breasts and turning red and throwing their hands up to heaven and talking about how "we love the good colored folks." Let me tell you there was never a white man in the world who ever truly loved colored folks. No Supreme Love for the Negro Now I am saying that, and I am saying that with the authority of hundreds of years of information and knowledge behind that, Victoria who signed the emancipation proclamation that set at liberty hundreds of thousands of West Indian Negroes, never had any supreme love for the Negro. Abraham Lincoln, who signed the emancipation proclamation in the United States of America that set free four million Negroes, never had any supreme love for the Negro. Your Lovejoys, your Wilberforceers, your Clarkson's, your Buxton's, your Garlison's never had any supreme love for the Negro. On the public platform they make beautiful statements, beautiful speeches against the Injustice of slavery, the iniquity of slavery. It is true; and their agitation freed the slave, it is true, but if you go into the private lives of each and every one of those men you will find them saying things that will prove they never had any supreme love for the Negro. One of the greatest philanthropists, one of the greatest encyclopedias was approached in his study one day by a friend, another white man, and the friend said to him, "What all you, Bill! You look very ruffled in your manner today." And he says, "I am disturbed. A horrible thing happened to me." "A black just came in sight of me." That man was an abolitionist. He was working for the freedom of the slaves, and he was ruffled and apolied in the spirit of the day because a black came across him. Yet he goes down in history as a great lover of colored folks. And there is not one of them that comes on the platform and professes their love who does not feel the same way in their drawing rooms and in their private chamber. If you doubt it, you, Mr. Negro, dress yourself up, put on the best Sunday clothes you have and call at Mr. Dyer's home and ask to see somebody. I hate this, hypocrisy. I hate this hypocrisy; I hate this lie. You can't serve two masters. You can't serve the white race and the black race at the same time. Therefore, what does Mr. Dyer mean? Is he serving the white race or the black race? That is how I get at my friends. I want to know your motive, your son and purpose, for coming around me. Now, if you love your race more than mine, what are you doing among mine? Any time you see a fox around a coop he is looking for a chicken, believe me. With all the profession of Brother Fox, "How I love the chickens!" whenever you see brother Fox get out of his company and come around the chickens he is looking for a chicken, understand that. And, as I said, I adhere the beautiful sentiments of Mr. Dyer, his desire for a Dyer antlynching bill. It is a beautiful thing, but how can we accept him, "Beware of Greeks bearing gifts"? Mr. Dyer is one of the leaders of the community. He comes from the great Negro Congressional District of St. Louis, where Negroes form the majority of the district in that district. Mr. Dyer fails to realize that in St. Louis in his Congressional District a Negro can't drink a soda in a dirty Greek drug store, can't eat a meal in a dirty Greek restaurant. In the very Greek district that he comes from—and that is not the heart of the South, now; that is just St. Louis—a Negro can't drink a soda in a white drug store, a Negro can't eat a meal in a white restaurant. Mr. Dyer has allowed that to reignish and has come all the way to New York to tell us about the Dyer antlynching bill to prove how much he loves colored folks. Brother, love commences at home. Charity begins at home. If he had no love for the Negroes in St. Louis, by God he could have no love for the Negroes in Mississippi. It is a force and a lie and a patch and a password for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to collect some more dollars and gather in from the colored people, as they have been doing for fourteen years without even having anything to show. The most that the N. A. A. C. P. has had to show is without the last five years since the Universal Negro Improvement Association got after them, got after them. That is the first time in their fourteen years' of existence they started to get busy, starting to find some program to show how much they were doing. From Caesar to Caesar "They will never be able to pass the Dyer anti-liveth bill with the result they talk about, and they don't mean it anews." What bill can we pass in the United States that is going to help Negroes when white folks are the persons against whom this legislation is passed? It is like appealing from Caesar to Caesar. The thing looks foolish and ignorant and illogical, notwithstanding the great so-called intellectual leadership of the N. A. A. C. F., with its Harvard professors and its Berlin graduates. Have they not enough sense to know it is an appeal from Caesar to Caesar? "Could not but Bois sit down and drag his intelligence for a few minutes to realize and see this, that you can curb human prejudice by law?

It is only the direct interference of God Himself that can regulate that. If I hate that woman and refuse to take her to my heart as my wife and love her as such, there is no law between heaven and earth to make me love her. If I hate you, if I hate that man, there is no law in the land to compel me to love him. You can pass a million laws, I will knock him down every time I see him. Therefore, Dyer knows well that the Dyer anti-lychnin bill means nothing. As Mr. Smith said & while ago, it is not necessary to pass more laws to protect the Negro. The Constitution of the United States is enough to protect all its citizens. It is not the law. It is the Mob. The mph is the law. Strange philosophy. But it is the truth. The mob is the law. Wherever you find a majority group of people and that majority group has certain desires, those desires are the law of the land irrespective of how many laws are on the statute book. Government gets its existence from the people. Modern democracy says that the majority rules. Therefore, Government is at the mercy of the majority in a democracy. And if a majority hates a minority there is no law in that community to compel that majority to respect the rights and wishes of that minority. Tell Du Bois to go and reason that out. Tell Weldon Johnson to go and reason that out, and they will find they are wasting time asking for laws to be made in Congress or anywhere else to curb the mob spirit of a race that is prejudiced against another. "Justice Is Strength." There is only one protection for the individual who suffers from the prejudice of another, and that is power, that is strength. There is no justice but strength. There is no law but power. Another strange philosophy, nevertheless it is true. If you are stong you have justice on your side. If you are weak you are at the mercy of the disposer of justice. Haiti is weak and America has overrun her shores with American marines because she keeps up little troubles in the Caribbean and violates the principles of the Monroe Doctrine, she says. France is at large in Europe menacing not only the peace of the Caribbean, but France to-day is a momen to civilization and to humanity. France, by her inhuman conduct to Germany, is fomenting the greatest war ever contemplated. But America wants at all, because France is reputed to have several thousand modern airships. France is reputed to have a stairing, army well equipped and immediately available. And America and England wank at France's outrage and threat against civilization because France is strong. But because Haiti is weak, everybody says, "Go into Haiti and settle that dispute and keep them quiet." Get Power. I repeat what I said a while ago, there is no justice but power. Negroes, if you have sense and want justice, get power, get it quick, get it anyhow. (Applause) When you shall have gotten power on your side there will be no more need for Dyer to come to Harlem or go anywhere else and talk about a Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. Your acroplains hovering over cities will talk (or you). Your submarines sailing under the seas will deliver your messages. When you get to think in terms of modern thought, which is based upon racial consciousness, racial self-preservation and racial self-protection, then you will be on the right track to redeeming yourself, redeeming your race and redeeming your country. (Applause). Yourself Your Own Friend It is my desire to warn the Negrites of America and of the world of threatening dances.

Una revista internacional con el agua blanco de mililuna de Muyeneca en China, es la profesa del director Max Kemmerich, de Muyeneca que se ha hecho famoso por la preciación de sus predicciones en el pasado, basado en las loyes causadas de la historia, que dice ha descubierto este profeta a quien se ha llama el profeta histórico. Es doctor en filosofía y de numerosos teólogos sobre la periodideidad, analógia y recurrencia de la historia. El Dr. Kemmerich dice que la razas de color de la mayor parte del mundo se rebelarán en los proximos tres, años contra el hombre blanco y tratarán de sacudir su dominación y hacerse libres e independientes. La lucha será larga, agrega, y una de las más sangrientas de la historia y tendrá su centro en la India. Una Raza Unida Susentando un Sole Ideal En el Anhelo de Nuestra Organización en Eto Nuevo.

Luego de varios años de laucha y muchos exitos en el primer periodo, el conocimiento técico y la ciencia del hombre blanco, según Kemnerich, saldrán victoriosos sobre el mucho mayor número de razas amarillas, cobrizas y negras. La verdadera lucha por el donito del mundo entre las razas de color y la raza blanca ventrá después y entonces la raza blanca será vencida. Para nosotros el nuevo año es, por consiguiente, un año de labor y de esperanzas. Como amantes del progreso, hemos de limpiar nuestras conciencias de todo odio y de toda intriga, y unidos en un sólo haz como un sólo pueblo, marcharemos hacia adelante sustentando y defendiendo el estandarte de libertad, correspondiente a todo ser humano. En contemplación de una nueva era de progreso y de prosperidad para la madre patrla, realizada por el esfuerzo combinado de los pueblos negros del universo, ella ha de salir del abismo de las intrigas internacionales y resurgir en la atmósfera de la cmancipación, ideal a que aspira todo pueblo. Con esta revuelta colonial sobrevendra una guerra entre el Japon y los Estados Unidos. No cree que terremoto japonés pueda retardar esa guerra. Interrogado sobre el resultado de esa guerra, el Dr. Kemmerich contesta. Mis calculos históricos no revelan cual será el resultado. Pero sin embargo no debemos olvidar que los Estados Unidos no son un país sino la mitad del mundo, en capital, recusos y energía. Alemania, agrega, vijira en un estado de revolución y guerras civiles por otro periodo de diez años. La monarquia de Hohenzoller volverá al poder, pero para desaparecer dramáticamente y el nuevo kaiser o-rey será ejecutado. Francia trata de realizar el stiejo de Napoleon y fracasar como Napoleon mismo. Según el sistema histórico de Kemnerich, será una nación de segundo orden entre 1933 y 1935. El imperio británico no se viniendo abajo como algunos creen. Sus calculos no revelan que el poder mundial de la Gran Bretaña se desvanecera pronto. Si actual actitud de debilidad hacia Francia la considera como un episodio temporal en la historia británica. A la conclusión del año que acaba de transcurrir, llegaron hasta nosotros noticias de que Francia, la mas sufrida que glorificada, intenta adoptar una nueva actitud social para con nuestra raza en los confines del continente europeo; y por insinuación de un grupo de blancos franceses domiciliados en París, se harán esfuerzos para disciplinar y separar de los blancos al elemento de la raza que convive actualmente en aquella capital. Todo esto es simplemente una confirmación de las profecias de nuestra organización, al manifestar algún tiempo ha que Francia finalmente no nos trataría mejor que este país o cualquier otro país de blancos, y que su actitud en el pasado tuvo su justificación, por el hecho de que ella nunca tuvo tal problema doméstico. En la expresión de nuestra opinión sobre el particular, en 1918 y en 1919 manifestamos que si Francia hubiera anido en el territorio de la república un contingente de diez ó quince millones de nuestro elemento, hubieran ocurrido allí tantos ó mayores abusos que los acaccidos en este país, le cual corrobora el que no existirá paz en las comunidades donde constituyamos la minoria de la población, por haberse arraigado en ellas la semilla de la rivalidad. Porqué continuar entonces invirtiendo nuestro preciado tiempo en sueños irrealizables? El Comisionado Filipino en el Congreso El señor Pedro Guevara, uno de los dos conisigados residentes de las Filipinas en el congreso de los Estados Unidos, pidió en su discurso pronunciado en la cámara de representantes que se otorgue la independencia al pueblo filipino, a fin de que sea feliz, util al mundo, siempre agradecido de los principios de justicia para todos los pueblos. El conisionado pide al congreso de los Estados Unidos el cumplimiento de la promesa solemne hecha al pueblo de las islas Filipinas en la denominada ley Jones de 1916 y que establece en su preamble que era el propósito de los Estados Unidos retirar su soberania de las islas Filipinas y reconecer su independencia tan pronto como pudiera constituirse alli un gobernable. Debemos realizar que existe una eterna diferencia entre blancos y negros, ya sean estos nativos de Africa, de las antillas, del continente americano, de Europa o de cualquier otro punto del globo. Opinamos el que no existe diferencia alguna entre el blanco, francés, el blanco americano y el blanco inglés, en lo que a raza concierne, por la sencilla razon de que ellos son todos hijos del mismo origen; pero cuando se establece el parangón entre el blanco y el negro, la diferencia es tal que no puede ser sanjada ni por sentimiento ni por amor espiritual. Los destinos de los dos pueblos son separados y distintos; porqué no admitir la verdad de los hechos y laborar de un modo unisono por el mejoramiento de nuestra propia raza? El orador expuso que es tiempo de cumplir con la promesa y que ha terminado la prueba a que se sometió al pueblo filipino; que el pueblo de los Estados Unidos tiene derecho a sentir orgullo del propreso realizado en las islas y que el pueblo filipino está pidiendo que se concedir la independencia, que sea gobernado por y con su juicio y consentimiento a fin de que el gobierno del pueblo y para el pueblo no perezca en la tierra. Los que constituiimos esta organización no estamos sorprendidos ni irónicos con el francés al declarar la separación de razas en Francia; es una lección práctica para aquel elemento de la raza que en cierta ocasion manifestó ser francés primero y negro después, realizando, al afrontar esta nueva actitud en el país al cual se creyeron pertenecer, el haber cometido un gran error al hacer manifestaciones de tal naturaleza. El blanco se stente un miembro genuino de su propia raza antes de formar parte de su propia nacionalidad; de ese modo debe discurrir no solamente el negro sino todo elemento de toda raza. Guevara aseguro que el actual status politico de las Filipinas no se compadecía en absoluto con los principios americano. Declaro al congresso que no importa cuán liberalmente intente tratar y sin constidración a lo generoso o al altruista de la intención, mientras no exista en las Filipinas un gobierno basado en la voluntad popular, el pueblo filipino ho habra desatado las cadenas de la eselavitud. Nos. abriga la esperanza de que en este nuevo año los cuatrocientos millones de nuestra raza no han de incurrir en error alguno, al realizar que unidos hemos de marchar hacia la meta de todas nuestras aspiraciones raciales; que exista un espiritu de mayor harmonia entre las distintas razas que pueblan el universo; que el blanco se compenetre de que solamente respetando el derecho de los demás será respetado el suyo propio; de que el mundo tiene un sitio apropiado para cada cual. Con entendimiento tal no vemos razones por las cuales el nuevo año no nos proporcione paz abundancia y satisfacción. MORON, CUBA Beyond expectation the Christmas tide was very bright in Moron. All sorts of entertainments were on, beginning December 23 to the evening of the 26th, closing with a wedding, when the friends and families of Mr. Thomas Ellis and Miss Louise Davis, both of the Parish of Manchester, famalica, gathered around their festive table and toasted them in the most befitting manner. The tables were afterward cleared, the band struck up, and everyone joined in the pleasantry of dancing, and this ended the Christmas tide. Con Europa sancionando sus propios asuntos; Ameri ca velando por sus intereses internos y dando a Asia la oportunidad de progresar, no existe razon humana para que se coharte a Africa de sus derechos y privilegios, en la persecusión de su propio desarrollo para beneficio de sus hijos.

El partido laborista ha llegado a la Camara los Comunes con casi doscientos puestos y tal es la expresión exterior de la revolución inglesa. El defiende el progreso en Inglaterra, la adopci de nuevo procedimientos y reacus, que son revolucionarios, y el partido y su programa han recibido un tremendo apoyo de la mama electoral. En cualquier país que no fiera Inglaterra el éxito-de los labofistas significaria simplemente el cambio en la opinión y en el agrado del país hacia su antiguo gobierno, pero en la conservadora Inglaterra lo ocurrido asciende a tanto como una verdadera revolución. Durante siglos enteros Inglaterra ha sido conservadora en su política y el pueblo ha votado candidaturas liberales o unidistas porque era lo debido. Ahora la opinión inglese se ha orientado en forma revolucionaria y personas cuyos antepasados han venido votando a favor de los unionistas han dado un verdadero salto y han votado a favor de los laboristas. La razón de esto ha sido la falta de trabajo que aflige al reino. Durante cinco años, los trabajadores ingleses han venido careciendo de bastantes ocupaciones para todos. Centenares de millares no han podido obtener trabajo en muchos meses de espera y miseria. Las privaciones han ido aumentando y el resultado ha sido que las grandes masas del pueblo han perdido su vieja fe en las clases gobernantes, dando nacimiento a una nueva política que va a goberna por la fuerza de su peso popular. Tres gobiernos posteriores. a la guerra han-fracasado en sus tentativas por solucionar el problema de la falta de trabajo; fracasó el gobierno de la coalición con Lloyd George; fracasó el de Bonar Law, y finalmente el de Baldwin. Las masas no han esperado muves experiencias y han votado unidos a favor de los laboristas, que nunca han gobierno y son por tanto muves en el poder. Ahora los laboristas son los que tienen el dominio del parlamento, y seguramente antes de que transiran muchos meses habran llegado al poder, instaurado un verdadero gobierno revolucionario del imperio británico. Sus directores sienten el espiritu de rebeldia que se extiende por toda Inglaterra y saben que si han de tener éxito de deber recurrir a proedimientos y medidas radicales y realmente revolucionarias. Los jefes políticos que no se aperebieron de este espiritu y conliaron en la docilidad de las viejas masas adictas a los partidos históricos ahora comprenen su error. Los meses venideros verán de derrumbarse en Inglaterra muchas de dus más viejos tradiciones. Las clases gobernantes, tal como las han conocido siglos enteros de política, se reconstruirán siguiendo línea extraordinariamente avanzadas serán definitivamente descartadas Sólo medidas de radicalismo y energía verdaderamente revolucionarias podrán detener la corriente rebelde del pueblo. Y sólo un gobernó la laborista está preparado para tomarlas. FREE·LUCKY COIN "Good Luck!" Enterrante Pamela B. Browne Director de China International Bank of China Depart. N. W.

Luego de expresar aún mejor la posición que defende, que parece ser la del gobierno, agrega: Existen cientos de millones de chinos en las vastas regiones de Asia que estarian encantados si pudieran constituir su hogar en los Estados Unidos. Cual sería el resultado? Las normas de vida de los Estados Unidos pronto se reducirían al nivel de las de los coolies. Incluir usted los chinos en su clasificación de aquellos para quienes los Estados Unidos debería ser una madre?

ADORTE SU OJEROLO PARA EL GRAN MOVIMIENTO DE TODAS LAS EPOCAS POR LA REDENCION DE AFRICA Y EL ADELANTO DEL NEGRO EX TODAS PARTES WARNING UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION It has come to the knowledge of the parent body that occasionally self-seeking and unprincipled individuals or officers of divisions would make effort to induce the membership to promote or start new corporations or enterprises separate or distinct from the U. N. I. A. for the purpose of serving their own personal ends, under the guise of speaking disloyally against the parent body to win the sympathy and approval of such local membership in their schemes. All members are, therefore, advised to keep a watchful eye to see that no new enterprise is put over by any one among the membership and that all matters involving the investment of money be first approved by the parent body. Please remember that it is only when all the divisions get in unions, according to the constitution, can the parent body carry out its program. Watch for persons who desire to use the local membership for their own personal benefit and not for the program of the U. N. I. A. By order PARENT BODY Universal Negro Improvement Association. The President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, on his tour of the nation, has been approached by hundreds of loyal workers and well-wishers of the Association in complaining against the Treatment they have received from several of the various departments of no Organization at headquarters, and from individual officers and employees at headquarters, as also against the conduct of certain Executive Officers whilst on the field. The President-General is grieved of the many complaints and hereby begs to announce that a Complaint Department is now established and attached to his office. All persons having complaints to make against any department officer or employee of the Organization will please write to COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT P. S.-If you love the Organization and desire to see it improve its service to the race, then you will not fall to report any irregularity on the part of officials, officers and employees of the Organization, caring not whom the person be if he or she has done anything improper or unintentional, report it.

The impersonator, father, the interpreter of the motherbird. A very important function, and stage on Sunday, December 12. When the Christmas concert took place at our library hall, the following was the program: Anthem "Sweet Day, of the Lord," by the choir; recitation. Miss Bima Walker; anthem "How Beautiful" Upon the Mountain," by the choir; dood, Prodigal, by Mrs. Oliver and Miss Nathan; solo, "Lead, Kindly Light," by Mrs. L. A. Osborne; recitation, Sonerita Morales; dialog, by the Misses Osborne; solo, by Miss Adaldea Henry; recitation, Miss Doris McLaren; anthem, "Cast Thy Burden on the Lord." Choir; address, by Mr. McKenzie. Several other, recitations and musical numbers, were rendered and were highly appreciated by the audience. The meeting was brought to a close with the singing of the Doxology. MRS. WILLIAMS CENTRAL MACARENO, CUBA In spite of the efforts of our encloces to check the progress of the U. N. L. A. we are moving rapidly and the doctrines of the association are spreading even to the remote parts of foreign countries. Our brothers in Central Macaucarum heard the call of Africa and immediately set about organizing in order to contribute their quota to the demise of the motherland. On account of certain circumstances it was necessary first to get the permission of the administrator to organize on his 'Pince. A 'committee was formed and the administrator interviewed. He immediately granted our request and promised us that he would do all in his power to help us. The administrator gave us a very interesting talk on the life of Booker Washington and also of Liberty. The first meetings of this group A very enthusiastic meeting was held in the Liberty Hall of this division on Sunday, December 18. The meeting was called to order by the chairman, and after the multimurray were gone through, the president made his opening address. He said that Christmas was of great significance to the members of the U. N. L. A. marking, as it did, the coming into the world of a redeemer who would save it from sin and release it from bondage. He compared Mr. Garvey's work to that of the Messiah and said that it was, the noblest work any man could undertake, because the redemption of a race and the 'uplifting of people were the work of a God-inspired man. The choir rendered some beautiful numbers, which were well received by the audience. We had with us two visitors, Mrs. Mollie Franklin, a member of the Cleveland division, and Mr. Affo Jones, of New Jersey. Both visitors favored us with addresses which thrilled the audience and encouraged the members to keep on with the fight until Africa is free and Negroes are respected everywhere. Mr. L. D. Maryeeth welcomed the visitors to the division and also gave a splendid address. The meeting was then brought to a close with the singing of the national anthem. DO YOU GET UP WITH A LAME BACK?

Passionate Plea For National Life Editor of The Negro World: I am a member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. I just recently joined the New York division, but my ideas are just as loyal and patriotic to the cause and principles as any five-year-old member, standing ready and willing to give it my moral and financial support. A māh's country is not a certain area of land, but a principle, and distribution is loyalty to that principle. The secret sanctification of the soil and symbol of a country is the idea which they represent, and this idea the patriot worships through the name and the symbol. So with passionate heroism, of which tradition is never weary telling, the Universal Negro Improvement Association has gathered into its bosom the sheaf of foreign spears. So Hon. Marcus Garvey, disdainting no service that duty demands, with no other friend than God and the satisfied sense of duty. So through all history, from the beginning, a noble army of martyrs has fought fiercely and fallen bravely for their unseen mistress—their country. So through all history to the end, that army must still march and fight and fall. But countries and families are but nurseries and influences. A man is a father, a brother, a German, a Roman. barrassing and frequent bladder problems day and night, irritation, sediment, etc. Lack of control, smarting, une acid rhumatism, bleating, may be loss of flesh, shallow complexion.

Regular, medium and large size bottles at all drug stores. Don't make any mistake, but remember the name, Dr. Kilipets Swamp-Root, and the address, Ringhampton, N. Y., which you will find on every bottle. In their vast march the van forgets the rear; the individual is lost, and yet the multitude is but many individuals. He faints and falls and dies. Man is froggot, but still mankind moves on still worlds revolve and the will of God is done in earth and heaven. So we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, with our soil sanctified and our symbol glorified by the great ideas of liberty and religion, love of freedom and love of God, are, in the foremost vanguard of this great caravan of humanity. To us rulers look, and learn justice while they tremble; to us the nations look, and learn to hope while they rejoice. Our heritage is all the love and heroism of liberty in the future, and all the great of the New Negro are our teachers. Our faith is in God and right, and God Himself, through Hon. Marcus Garvey, is, we believe, our guide and leader. Through darkness, and @sometimes shadows, our national sky, though con- fusion comes from error and success breeds corruption, yet will the storm pass in God's good time, and in clearer sky and purer atmosphere our national life grow stronger and nobler, namely fled more and more, consecrated to God and liberty by the martyrs who fall in the strife for the just and true.

In the year of 1893 I was attacked by Muscular and Subacute Rheumatism. I suffered as only those who are thus afflicted know, for over three years. I tried remedy after remedy, but such relief as I obtained was only temporary. Finally, I found a treatment that cured me completely and such a pitiful condition has never returned. I have given it to a number who were terribly afflicted, even bedridden, some of them seventy to eighty years old, and the results were the same as in my own case. I want every sufferer from any form of muscular and subacute (swelling at the joints) rheumatism to try the great value of my improved "Home Treatment" for its remarkable healing power. Don't send a cent; simply mail your name and address and I will send it free to try. After you have used it and it has proven itself to be that long-looked for means of getting rid of such forms of rheumatism, you may send the price of it, one dollar, but understand I do not want your money unless you are perfectly satisfied to send it. Isn't that fair? Why suffer any longer when relief is thus offered you free? Don't delay. Write today.
