No. 23 NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, 1924 PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK SEVEN CENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE U.S.A. TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES PREPARING FOR THE WORK OF AFRICAN COLONIZATION ow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: The Universal Negro Improvement Associa feels it its duty to prepare the minds of the people everywhere for those changes that are generally contemplated for the good of the race. keeping with such a duty, we take it-as a sure to announce to the race at large that it is to be a year of consolidated effort among people everywhere for the development and redemption of our country, Africa. Africa the Attraction of the World Africa, as every thoughtful person realizes, becoming the attraction of the world; her resources in mineral and agricultural products are be exploited by the aggressive and colonizing ces and nations of the world. For such a rea n Europe—France, Italy, Portugal, and Bel um—are endeavoring to strengthen their the continent. The pioneering and adventurous spirit of Europe is driving its people toward Africa. It is this mad rush that alarms the Universal Negro Improvement Association and urges it to unite the scattered sentiment of our people and direct it toward African redemption. If we, as a race, do not concentrate upon the redemption of Africa and the exploitation of its vast resources, it will simply mean that the continent in another twenty-five years will have become a new country for the European races where the Negro will find it as hard and difficult to eke out an existence as he does now in America and Europe. The Peopling of the World The fight of the Negro of the present is to prevent the European from making Africa his new home. The European has already peopled Europe, America and Australia. He made a strong bid for the peopling and dominating of Asia, but he failed, thanks to the activity and alertness of the Asiatic. Doomed Forever If Negroes sit supinely by and allow the European to prosecute his desires in the direction of Africa, then it simply means that we are doomed forever. The European has his plan of world conquest and domination. It is not likely that he will take the Negro into his confidence. It is for us to discover his purpose, and, as far as it affects us, to see to it that we are protected. This is the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Protecting Interest of Race NEGROES' FUTURE LIES IN CONTINENT OF THEIR FATHERS AFRICA THE LAND OF THE FUTURE AMERICA AND WEST INDIES TRAINING GROUNDS FOR AFRICAN SERVICE GAINING THE RESPECT OF OTHER RACES interest of the Negro race, and with such responsibility resting upon our shoulders we go forward advancing the banner of the Red, the Black and the Green, with the object of creating out of our united efforts the idea of African imperial redemption. The thing that we desire is to see a great and powerful African commonwealth where Negroes will have the same opportunity and privilege to rise to power and glory as the white man has in America, Europe and Australia. We are asking for the whole-hearted cooperation of the Negro peoples of the world for the accomplishment of the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Let us do everything possible to develop industrially and commercially the now existing Negro nations by strengthening their hands with our western intelligence and helping in their growth to political power. Respect of Other Races We must place ourselves in a position where the other races and nations of the world will not fail in their respect for us as a people. We want to stir the Negroes of America and the West Indies to the realization and the fact that Africa affords just at this time a glorious opportunity for colonization, and as the white man for centuries went from Europe to colonize and people America and Canada, so should the Negro from the West Indies and America turn toward the colonization of Africa. Our Western Education We should convey to Africa all that we have imbibed by the way of education and culture from the contact of three hundred years with western civilization. Africa needs scientists, mechanics, engineers and tradesmen of all kinds. Yes, she needs doctors, teachers, business men and captains of industry. America and the West Indies have been splendid training grounds for the Negro for the last three-quarters of a century. We have learned from the best universities of Europe, Canada and America, and we can now apply that knowledge for the development of our Motherland. Surely all thoughtful Negroes of America and the West Indies will dedicate themselves to the work of Africa's development. Preparing Ourselves Those of you who are preparing yourselves in the banking and other financial institutions of America be assured that we shall expect you to become the great financial magnates of Africa in directing the banking systems of the Mother Country. You who are in the insurance business of the United States of America, surely we are expecting you to preside over the "Metropolitan" and "New York" African insurance companies and corporations of the future. You men and women who are engaged in your little industrial enterprises, surely you are training yourselves to become the presidents and managers of department stores and other corporate enterprises of Africa. Surely you lawyers and other professional men who are experimenting in the United States and the West Indies are but getting ready for the bigger field of practice in the great Commonwealth of Africa, where you shall become leaders in statesmanship and in society. And you men and women who have had to labor by your hands, surely you are preparing yourselves to undertake the bigger task of building for your own race and laying the foundation for your own commonwealth. The contact and civilization that we have had in the western world will surely fit us for undertaking the big task of African redemption. Let us, therefore, focus our attention upon African colonization in 1924. Repatriation Boom Let us save our dimes and dollars and accumulate them so as to be ready when the great boom starts in repatriation. The Universal Negro Improvement Association hopes that in 1924 several hundred thousand families from America and the West Indies will be repatriated to Africa to work in its development. Duty of Members of Organization Members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association everywhere should redouble their energies and determination and push forward the program of the organization for this new year. As we labored six years to make this our movement the greatest organization in the world, so we should continue during 1924 and 1925 to see that a great part of the program is accomplished. With very best wishes for your success. I have the honor to be UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION. Washington, D. C., January 16, 1924. P. S.—I am asking that every member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association secure from his local division a copy of the new constitution that is now off the press. Members can only intelligently understand the working of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and their relation to the organization by reading the constitution. The constitution is the members' only safeguard in the proper conduct of the affairs of the organization. See to it that your secretary supplies you with a copy of the constitution. I also ask that every member pay to the secretary of his division the annual dollar tax which is now due. By the payment of this tax the Parent Body is rendered able to carry out its administration work. M. G. Apart from President Coolidge's Ad- ministration sending a commission, widely Robert Church, of Tennessee, as chairman, to investigate the economic conditions existing in the Virgin Islands. The Secretary of the Navy wrote Mr. Rothschild Francis, well known native journalist and legislator, as follows: Dear Sir: In reply to the inquiry in your letter of 5 October in regard to an engineer being sent to St. Thomas to study the water supply situation; I say that Commander R. M. Warfield (Civil Engineer Corps), U. S. Navy, sails for the Virgin Islands on the U. S. B. Kittery on 9 January for the purpose of investigating and reporting on the present tentative plans to increase the water supplies of the towns of St. Thomas, Christiansted and Fredericksted. The government of the Island of St. Croix has made available a sum not to exceed four, thousand dollars to pay the salary and other expenses of a Reclamation Engineer to investigate and report in the possibility and practicability of irrigation on the island of St. Croix. A Reclamation Engineer, nominated and loaned by the Reclamation Service of the Interior Department, will sail for the Virgin Islands on the Kittery in 13 February. Very truly yours. JANUARY 48, 1924. Mr. Francis Blinke that the idea of sending engineers to the islands to study the water problem is a good one. The Secretary of the Navy visited the islands last spring and admitted that the water problem was a serious one. The persons composing the commission to investigate conditions in the Virgin Islands, appointed by the President, are now follows: Robert H. Chuang, chiefman, Pennsylvania; Cornelia Richmond of Indiana, George H. Woodson of Iowa, Charles E. Mitchell of West Virginia, and W. H. C. Brown of Virginia. - Manhattan Newspapermen Congratulate President There was a reorganization meeting of the Manhattan Newspaper's Association at the offices of the New York News Saturday evening January 12.

All local newspaper people are requested to be present. T. Thomas Fortune, J. A. Jackson, George W. Harris and W. R. Bain were appointed as a committee to draft an appropriate expression to President Coolidge on the appointment of an alliance commission to investigate conditions in the Virgin Islands, and the committee drafted and forwarded the following expression: Letters to the President New York, January 12th, 1924. To the President: Hon. Calvin Coolidge White House Washington, D. C. Sir-At a regular meeting of the Manhattan Newspaper Men's Association, comprising Afro-American newspapers of the Metropolitan district of New York and resident correspondents of Race newspapers throughout the country, we were designated to express to you our high appreciation of the appointment by you of a Commission composed of distinguished Afro-Americans to proceed to the Virgin Islands, recently acquired by the United States Government, for the high purpose of investigating the political, economic and administrative needs of the islands. It is the first time in the history of the Nation when a Commission so composed has been designated by the President of the United States and we desire to have you know in this way that your departure in this respect is regarded by us as a signal one of very far reaching importance to the people of the Virgin Islands and of the 12,000,000 Afro-American persons, citizens of the United States. We feel that you have done a splendid act in a splendid way. We further wish to extend to you the assurance of our hourly co-operation with you in any further purpose you may have to move for the betterment of the conditions of the people of the Virgin Islands, Porto Rico, Haiti and the Philippine Islands. With sentiments of high regard, we beg to remain. Very respectfully, T. THOMAS FORTUNE J. A. JACKSON. GEORGE W. HARRIS. WILFRED R. BAIN. Seven new agricultural colonies, four cooperative and three of the individual type, have been started in Palestine and will be in full operation soon, according to a report to the Palestine Foundation Fund by Morris Rothenberg, chairman of the fund's board of directors. The economic position of the Jews in the homeland gradually to growing stronger, Mr. Rothenberg said, and he thanked the American public for the support given. A large share of the $5,000,000 contributed by the foundation since the British occupation has been spent upon the development of agriculture. The report said the Jews are turning out to be good farmers, and employ modern methods of cultivation, in contrast to the native Arab. "The new colonies bring the total number of Jewish settlements in Palestine to more than ninety," said Mr Rothenberg. Tobacco growing experiments were successful and the tobacco acreage is being extended. Besides growing garden truck for the market, the colonies are raising oranges, almonds and other products for export. "PUSSYFOOT" JOHNSON GROANS WHEN AFRICA BECOMES CHRISTIAN Mr. "Pussyfoot" Johnson: just returned from a tour in England, South Africa, and Egypt, says the New York Sun and Globe, is more determined than ever to bring about universal prohibition, even if it costs him his remaining good eye. Conditions on the island of Zanzibar and other South African colonies showed a steady tendency toward prohibition. Mr. Johnson declared, There were some 203,000 persons, white and black, in Zanzibar, Mr. Johnson said. Of this number 3,000 were Christians. They were the only drinkers, he said, slim it was illegal to sell liquor to any one but Christians. The number of converts was, therefore astonishing, since wherever a native wanted a drink body enough he simply went and got himself baptised. But Mr. Johnson felt that as soon as the Government allowed local option things would improve. The Baltic, he said, was to believe in the NEGRO TENANT FARMER SHOT TO KILL AND SHOULD HAVE A MONUMENT I do not consider it, necessary to make any preliminary observations on the importance of the above subject, or on the propriety of submitting my views on it to the public, I must straight to my subject; and, to begin with, I must say that I truly realize the magnitude of it and know also that it requires a man of greater ability and experience to do justice, to it. I want to lay strong emphasis at the start of this point that we are living in a material age quite, different from those of our fore-fathers with whom these customs and institutions originated consequently our present day influences and environments must differ from theirs. One can see no reason therefore in the assertion that what was good for them in those dark days must necessarily be good for us now, who have had the benefit of the Western civilization and the glorious light of Christianity in these modern times. It is a common place that since the advent of Christianity to our shores a transformation has taken place as to the mode of living, as also the way of thinking. What wisdom is there in it for us still to stick to some of these institutions which, having been given trial in our generation, have been unmittenable? One generation may believe what another may not, and this is influenced by conditions and surroundings as pointed out before. I say therefore that many of these customs and institutions are things of the past and must now be consigned to the limb of oblivion; but, falling this organization then must take place. I shall come to deal with this point specifically later on. But this must not be interpreted to or in any way to suggest, that I am an advocate of denationalization; far from it. All that I am seeking to show is that institutions and customs are not made to last forever, but to undergo changes as time and circumstances call for or dictate. History tells us how one nation borrowed from another culture and civilization. For instance, Greece, the mother of liberty and Art, owed its culture and knowledge to Egypt, where we are told learning first planted its foot. Greece drank deep and passed it on to Rome—the great law-giver of all nations—and from there civilization and culture spread to Western Europe and then on to India, China, Japan and right on back to us in some parts of Africa. From this we see clearly that imitation is the law of progress and therefore imitation is no sign of degradation or disgrace as a good many of our people are inclined to think. On the contrary it is a safe evidence of adaptability and versatility. Anyone therefore, who tells us in West Africa that because we imitate modern civilization we are denationalized must have a very poor knowledge of history. They say so with an inductive purpose to discourage us from still making good advancement towards modern civilization. I now come back to the point that some of our institutions are not good to be still retained by us. To take them and deal with them situation will not do here, owing to space consideration. I shall therefore only cite one or two instances. Now take, for instance, our native marriage question and examine it closely. We will find to what a great disadvantage our poor women folk are placed. The husband, thinking himself superior to the wife, uses the latter as a tool and easily gets out of her by mere captain. This is repugnant and revolting to all modern sense of decency, right, and propriety, needless to say the principles of Christianity which teach equality of husband and wife, the husband being only a primus inter pars. Then take also the law of succession, which it is obvious has worked much havoc in Famil land and other parts of the Gold Coast. Think also of the severe and unreasonable order a widow or widower has to pass through whenever a husband of wife is lost; (I refer *(Continued on page 10)* From the Richmond Planet Joe Pullen, a colored tenant farmer residing at Drew, Mississippi, staged one of the most remarkable fights that has ever been recorded in this southern country of ours. He was not charged with any helnous crime, but seems to have been an industrious citizen, endowing to make an honest living. The charge against him was one in which a white citizen, who had called to collect a biff from Pullen, lost his life as a result of a disagreement. The exact facts in the case are unknown and probably never will be given to the public. Buffice it to say that Joe Pullen, who was a "dead shot," both with a gun and a revolver, killed nine white men, who were seeking to kill him, and wounded nine others, finally yelping up his own life as a slight compensation for the havoc he had wrought in a days' battle. Two more white men are expected to die as a result of his death. EX-TEACHER CALLED BY JAPAN'S REGENT TO HELM OF STATE TOKIO, Jan. 1. - MISQUANT Kiego Kiyoura, President of the Privy Council, was summoned today, by Primes Regent Hirohito to form a Cabinet to succeed that of Premier Yamamoto, which resigned following the attempt last week to assassinate the Prince Regent. From the humble post of schoolmaster to a barony and finally to the Premiership of Japan, the caretaker of Kiego Kiyoura reads like a work of fiction. He is more than 70 years old, having been born in 1880. He long held high honors in Japan, and, through his diplomatic work, has become favorably known in other capitals, than Tokio. His government activities began when he accepted a clerkship in a minor government bureau, later serving in clerical capacities in both the Home and Justice Ministries. In the former he rose to the highest place, holding the portfolio of the department twice, in 1898-1900 and 1901-1903. Thence he transferred to the Department of Agriculture and Commerce, holding that portfolio until 1906, when he resigned. Kiyoura was one of the trusted lieutenants of the late Marshal Prince Yamagishi and received his barony in 1902 for services in connection with the conclusion of the Anglo-Japanese treaty. Since 1917 he has been President of the Privy Council. MILLION DOLLARS AND MORE FOR NEGRO SCHOOLS ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 12.—What is believed to be the most elaborate and expensive Negro public school building program ever undertaken by any community is now nearing completion in this city. It embraces four magnificent new grammar schools, seating 800 to 1,000 each, and a high school seating 1,500, the five erected at a cost to date of $1,200,000, with more yet to be spent on finishing touches. These new schools are part of a general school building program involving a total of $8,800,000, and are in every sense equal to the best the city is erecting, representing the last word in construction and equipment. In addition to all the usual modern facilities, each is provided also with medical and dental clinics, where the pupils have the services of physician, dentist and nurse. The high school, which is named for Booker T. Washington, will carry the regular academic curriculum and in addition will provide training in wood work, carpentry, drawing, auto mechanics, sheet metal, plaster and cement, tailoring, pressing, sewing, cooking, child care and teacher training. The purpose is to give to the population all-round training for life and fit them for useful and remunerative employment immediately on graduation. A director of vocational guidance helps further to this end by personal conferences, lectures, bulletins and luntern slides. The Negro schools are sharing fully in the efforts of the administration to bring the city's public school system up to the highest standard of efficiency. Back of this building program is an interesting story of inter-racial cooperation. Atlanta having greatly outgrown its school system, several unsuccessful efforts were made to vote a bond issue for new buildings. It was found that the colored voters held the balance of power and had thrown it against the plan. City officials asked white members of the local inter-racial committee why this was so. The latter arranged a conference with leading colored citizens and the question was passed to them. They promptly replied: "Why should we vote—take on ourselves when we have no assurance that we will get any of the benefits?" The rest was easy. An agreement was readily reached that if they would help carry the next bond election, their schools should have approximately one-third of the proceeds. That agreement is now being carried out. All of this is most unfortunate, but it shows that the better class of white people are right in their attitude towards the colored people, for the "worm will turn." Pullen held off the posse organized to capture him for more than seven hours. A machine gun was secured in an effort to capture this lone Negro. Ordinary discretion would have saved and prevented this useless sacrifice of human life. Still it is now evident that even his enemies respect him in death. He sold his life an easily as possible and then "died with his boots on." These exhibitions of brute violence will not benefit the white folks or the colored ones. It is time to have an "Age of Pearson." Black men of the Pullen type should be encouraged and not exterminated. He was a tenant farmer. He was not a lawless character or a "boot-leger." He has paid the price of his valor and bravery and he has "gone the way of all the earth." RICHMOND, Va.—What is regarded as a very significant sign of the Negroes' political trend of mind is the great following lining up behind the proposition to form an organization to be known as the INDEPENDENT VOTERS OF AMERICA. The first public notice of the movement was given to the press on September 25, 1922, when the following appeared: "New Political Organization. There will be organized in this City (Richmond, Va.) in the near future what is to be known as the Independent Voters of America. This movement has no connection whatever with the tilt black Republican' movement." This notice was given out by H. H. Price, of Richmond, Va., who has since then, been working steadily on the movement. He feels that the movement is well under way and there will soon be enough States in line to call the proposed conference, which is to be held in some Southern city, probably at Raleigh, N. C. In discussing the matter a few days ago before a conference of representatives Mr. Price said: We have been wring quietly on this proposition for more than a year and we are thoroughly convinced that the only remedy for disadvantages which affect our group is to form an independent organization. The President, in his recent message to Congress, clearly sustains this view, and made certain the attitude of the administration and the Republican party when he said: 'But it is well to recognize that these difficulties are to a large extent local problems which must be worked out by the mutual forbearance and human-kindness of each community. Such a method gives much more promise of a real remedy than outside interference.' Now, if this is the case, then it is high time for broader thoughts of serious things. And as I see it our only hope is to develop a local sentiment that will give us some influence with those who make and enforce the laws under which we must live and maintain our numerous and varied industries. "The Republican party has had our loyal support for more than fifty years and the only reward is the placement of a few Negro politicians in some insignificant jobs, while the masses of Negroes continue to suffer dischievement and discriminations, even in the departments of the government itself. A colored man on the Republican National Committee for more than three years has not been able to assert any influence in behalf of the race, nor control affairs political, in the state he represents, is national committeeman, couldn't even land a little insignificant job for himself." "Now let us face the matter squarely. If you are elected a delegate to the Republican national convention, and seated without a word of protest, how much good would it mean to the community in which you live when you return? None in the least. First because the dominant political organization in this community is not Republican and, secondly, because the national organization maintains a policy of non-interference. "The day has come and the hour is at hand when we must hit the independent trail. If these difficulties are ever overcome they are going to be overcome by both races finding some line of contact, with a common aim and interest, each giving and taking, finally eliminate the differences." It will be remembered: that Mr. Price was the independent nominee for Congress from the Third District of Virginia in 1909. There were four white men in the race also, and the count of the ballots showed him to be close to second place out of the five. It is said that influences are at work to have the proposed conference held in one of the border states and thisigation may bring about a second conference in another section of the country. Bill Framed to Cut Immigration Quota (Lincoln News Service) WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.—Of special interest to Negro wage-carners is the new immigration bill to further reduce European immigration to this country by lowering the quota of each country to 2 per cent, instead of three, as at present. The effect of this message will be encouraging to Negro workers, who hope to make more permanent their places in the industrial life of the nation. Then again it may be that one reason why there is so much unemployment in Britain is that those who haven't anything to do can live without work on the money paid them by the government—On City (Pu.) Billboard. "Lynching," as Theodore Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, states, has been a stealth in the nostrils of all liberty-loving, law-dabbing Americans. It is also true, as Col. Roosevelt asserts, that "there can be no compromise on the Klan," which "strikes at the root of Americanism." But when Mr. Roosevelt recommends the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill to Negro voters as a remedy for both evils he is wide of the mark. The Dyer measure is political in origin and would have only a political effect if passed. When communities organize to commit and to conceal the perpetrators of crimes, the Federal Government is quite as powerless as State Governments to bring about prosecutions and convictions. The best remedy for lynching and for the Klan, as the figures for 1923 demonstrate, is Negro migration. When Negro workmen began to leave for the North in large numbers there was a sudden decline. In mob murders in the South. Once the Negro realizes the possibilities of this economic weapon, and uses it to the full, he will exert a more powerful influence against nightriding than would be exerted by a dozen Federal statutes. Just what the Dyer bill might be worth as a protection against lynching is accurately gauged by the impotence of the Fifteenth Amendment as an article of enfranchisement. White Strikers Getting a Dose Such as Defenseless Negro Tenant Farmers Got in the Philips County Rioting JUSTICE BLINDFOLDED The Negro World has received the following release from the Press Service of the American Civil Liberties Union, in New York: The conditions on which Vurlen Orr and Luther Wise, railway strikers, serving terms in the Arkansas state penal institution, for alleged sabotage, have been granted "Murroughs" by Governor Thomas C. McLaee, are characterized by the American Civil Liberties Union as "unprecedented in our labor history." The release of the two men was one of the points included in an agreement just reached at Harrison, Ark, between striking shopmen and the Missouri & North Arkansas Railroad; they were released on "furough" and will not get full pardons unless the terms of the agreement are kept by the Union. "The holding of hostages by a state government," Prof. Harry F. Ward, chairman of the Civil Liberties Union, and certainly unprecedented, in our labor history. "If the men are innocent, as the facts of their case indicate, they should be given full pardons. On what ground has their freedom been made dependent on the carrying out of a strike agreement? Assuming that the agreement were not adhered to, would Governor McKinley then jail two innocent men? "Since when has a governor been given the right to barter with the freedom of human beings to force settlement of a strike? What ever agreement may be reached by the parties to a strike, which is a purely private quarrel, it should have no bearing on the case of men charged with a specific crime. "Orr and Wise pleaded guilty because a mob—the same mob which had lynched B. C. Gregor the night before—was waiting outside the courthouse. Their sentences of seven to ten years would have been cut short long ago by any governor courageous enough to act on the simple and evident facts. Governor McKay has made himself virtually an agent of the railroad, and has condemned for months a shocking state of violence because it was organized in the railroad's interest." Porto Ricans Seek Home Rule SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Jan. 9 (Associated Press).—A commission of top members of the Legislature, accompanied by Governor Horace M. Towner, sailed for the United States today. The commission will attempt to secure from Congress modifications of the organic law of the island. Composed of representatives of the three chief political parties, the commission is united in the idea of promoting home rule for Porto Rico. —Editor Harry C. Smith and Alderman-Thomas Fleming, of Cleveland, will probably have Central avenues fixed up in large shape for the delegates and visitors who will look to that city early in June.

India to Continue Boycott Of British Goods Bombay, Dec. 17. The Committee appointed, following the Delhi Congress resolution to determine the feasibility of encouraging Indian goods and boycotting British Empire goods in particular, has issued a report saying that all British Empire commodities cannot immediately be boycotted. It must be a gradual boycott, excepting articles necessary for health, education and certain industries. The report is of opinion that a complete boycott of Empire piecegoods and leather goods, cycles, motor-cars, provisions, furniture, glassware and cutlery, in possible, and that the import of liquors, spirits, tobacco and other luxuries could immediately be stopped. The Committee recommends house to house propaganda by village boycott committees and the use of Indian or non-British articles in preference to Empire goods.

Carter, vice-president of the New York local. The musical part of the program was furnished by the inventor, who is called them City, in exploded memory of the old and unknown Mr. F. Foster, E. H. C. inessil at work, which was much used. The great news is that Hon. Thomas W. Anderson, president of Iowa and notch, may be sent to Samantha Drew, the first woman in an institution which has survived with courage for the generations from the South and leading them out of employment. The Rev. Drew seems to some length of time to be a characteristically musician and the enclave in a lively model with witty remarks which, however, she chose home the points we wanted to make. The Hon. Richard Smith, third assistant president general, who was also stated to speak informed the matter, that he would deliver his address during the week since the following Sunday he was engaged to speak to the members and friends of another division. Mr. Anderson, who spanned first made an appeal to his audience to do more than just. Applause and enthusiasm, he said, would not bring about the realization of the aims and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. His clearly showed he said, that liberty was never obtained without a struggle, and the people who were not prepared to struggle for the attainment of liberty were not prepared to resist the struggle for it. As usual he was greatly impressed on his hearses, and he have come to rejoice his lifetime. Key from a letter he received was a signed round of applause as he drove home his troubles with art illustrations. There were days on the property. He took the pleasure of the GAS IN THE STOMACH IS DANGEROUS Recommends Daily Use of Magnesia to Overcome Trouble Caused by Fermenting Food and Acid Indigestion Gas and acidic stomach acid can propel by abrasion the feeling after eating of cheese, certain evolution of the presence of excessive hydrochloric acid in common eating called "food indigestion." Acid stomachs are dangerous because too much acid irritates the delicate stomach lining, much often leading to gastritis. To instill acid in such acidic foods, food indigestion, food fermentations and soups, creating the distressing gas which disends the stomach and hampers the normal functions of the vital internal organs, often affecting the gizzard. It is the worst of folly to neglect such a serious condition or to treat with ordinary digestive aids which have no neutralizing effect on the stomach acids. Instead pet from any bristlegrass a stick of fruit or a shell Magnesia and take a teaspoonful of quarter glass of water right after eating. This will drive the gas, wind and bleat right out of the body, sweeten the stomach, neutralize the excess acid and prevent its formation and there is no soreness or pain. Dissuaded Magnesia (in powder or tablet form — in milk) is harmless to the stomach, magnesia is the best form of magnesia for stomach aches. It is used by thousands of people who enjoy their meals with no more fear of indigestion. As a special inducement we will publish announcements of weddings, births and obituaries for $1.00. Send us any such matter with the necessary amount and service will be given. Let the world of Negroca know what is going on within their group. Yours for happiness. ADVT. DEPT. 56 W. 136 St., N. Y. C. association he steadfast in their faith and loyalty and support to the Universal Negro Improvement Association, its success, he asserted, would, redoubble to the eternal credit of the Negro race and its failure would leave them discredited before the world. Of criticism and knowing they must not be afraid, for these things must be. As far as he was concerned, however, he felt that men who spoke all of the Universal Negro Improvement Association was an enemy to himself and to the race. He paid a tribute to the founder of the movement the Hon Marquis Garvey, and bade the Negroes of the world follow him with unsweeping faith "And when he is dead," he declared, "do not abandon Brown's body lies a mould-crust in the grave, his soul is marching out by them shy. Marquis Garvey's life is mediating in the grave, but its work is gone on." Returning to the exodus of Negroes from the Southlands, the speaker said he required to find that the Negro at last was pursuing the path of wisdom. The South was waking up to find that the Negro was after all necessary to the South. But he was gladder still that Negroes the world over were still the internationally and that, under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, they determined to found a government of their own on the continent of Africa. He had always felt chagrined when in Washington, where he has been laboring steadily for the last twenty years, the flag of forty-eight legations, and nowhere else of a great African republic. And if any man thought that it was impossible for the Negro in the near future to be numbered among the nations of the world, he but came to Liberty Hall and drink in the inspiration that was being freely dispensed. He made an appeal for Negroes to bury their senseless petty陷ues that spring from local considerations of place of birth, West Africa, American, African, all亚洲, men and the same. Unity must be the watchword of Negroes if my multi-racial splenda goal in front of worlds the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the greatest mouth of Negra leadership in twenty three years was at present. HON. T. W. ANDERSON'S ADDRESS I consider if we as a people realize what serious struts, what a serious rush, we are engaged in an effect to secure liberty for a peace? It is a serious effect that we should take seriously. No people can ever expect to throw off the plained therem on another one and first throws off the chains that it has placed on itself, superstition to one of each other, hatred of each other, our inability to work together, our inability to hurt our petty enemies and dishies for a larger, a burger more important cause. It is tragic but not insignificant. As serious as this cause is, as ardently as some men and women work toward the realization of the dream, the plan, there are some of us who are no more sincere about it than we would be about going downtown and jumping off the Brooklyn Bridge. Even before we are those who do not take this cause more seriously than a newborn baby, and if our dream was to be realized we would be as much surprised as if Jesus were to come back of earth tomorrow. Facts: that is what we want. Learn to Think "We will have no any place until we learn to think. The man who thinks rules, the world! In a house, between man and wife, the one that thinks is the boss. Whether it is the wife, the husband or the child the one that thinks is the ruler. It always has been so. It always will be so the brains will rule. We cannot put this program over by applause. We cannot put this program over by enthusiasm alone. In Ireland there are 1,000,000 Irishman. In America alone there are 15,000,000 black men and women. The 4,000,000 Irishman are free; they have a country, a government, of their own. Fifteen million black people have not where to lay their heads. Jesus Christ must have been thinking of the Negro people of the world when He said. The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man hath not where to lay His head. It is true. Human Rights and Human Laws "The struggle for human liberty has been a horrid one through the entire history of the world. It was so in the days of Greece. It was so in the days of Rome. It was so in all of the days of the early empires. It was so in the Middle Area and it is true now. Human rights. From whence are human rights derived anyhow? Our Declaration of Independence among other things says three words. You student." THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, 1934 of history will pardon me if I give a free reading of this particular passage. Among other things it says that mankind is endowed with certain inalienable rights and among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We cry out the Constitution says we are created equal and are endowed with certain inalienable rights. That is all right. But read. Human rights. The struggle for human rights was the cause of the first revolution. They were first spoken of by Rouisseau, the great French philosopher. Our human rights are fleeting with no wipe, intangible somethings. Human rights are not derived from human consciousness. Human rights are derived from edicts and laws. So that in the early struggle of England the people in order to get the Magna Charta to be wrest it from the hands of King John. The edict of Nantes during the reign of Henry IV those who obtained it had to wrest it from the hands of the monarchy. The Declaration of Independence had to be torn from the hands of King George. And you and I in our struggle for liberty must realize that in order to get that liberty we have got to be united, we have got to, be of one mind, even as all people had to be who obtained liberty or the slightest modicum of liberty. Be Ready to Struggle "As it has been in the struggle for human liberty politically, so it has been to obtain religious liberty. All wars, all great struggles after all have been caused because of the effort of mankind to be free both in mind and in body. And any people who are not prepared to struggle for their liberty are not prepared for the liberty which they are seeking. My message to you is to start a-thinking a little more. A man in order to become great or in order to be good must feel that he is the instrument of God Almighty. Some of us are afraid to speak of God and the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the same breath. I don't know where we get it. The motive of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is one God. We believe firmly in God, and any people, any leader who does not believe in God has already failed, for there is a destiny which shapes our end, rough-hew them as we may. And a man and a race must be sight of itself if it would obtain that which is worth obtaining. Such is my brief message to you. Please it may not sound, but true it is. (Applause.) REV. DREW SPEAKS Rev. Simon P. Drew was the next speaker. He said among other things that he was lost for words when facing such a large and enthusiastic audience and after hearing the beautiful program which had been rendered. He was convinced of the faith of the membership in the organization. For their presence indicated that they had unbounded and unbounded faith in it and interest in the race. He admired the spirit which was displayed toward the organization, for said he "you have not had the smooth sailing that organizations of other races have had. Your organization has not had flowers, beds upon which to travel." This, he continued, was not unnatural for every man who started any organization among the race anywhere in the world looked for criticism, and many a time given his best friends turned against him; but he added, "you wouldn't be strong if you did not have some "Thompson." He was glad to find that with our short comings and all the setbacks we had as citizens of this country we were going forward, and there is nothing that is going to keep us back but our selves, and what we had to do as a race is to get together. He appealed to the mothers of the race to train their children in the home, that they may carry on the work when the other ones become incapacitated. Continuing, he said. "When the Irishman lands in America it is not necessary for him to know the streets, it is not necessary for him to know where the City Hall is, for somebody will take him down there, because he has Irishmen like himself here. When a Jew comes to America he owns part of the land and part of everything before he gets here, for members of his race group control the interests of the country." He urged, therefore, that the same spirit of co operation he taught among Negroes, and it will not be very long before the race problem is solved. The solution of the race problem is left with the Negro himself. As long as a race will allow another race to load it and think for it, that race will never amount to anything. We have got to learn to add ourselves. And he was pleased to note that this great race problem which is so much discussed in the newspapers, in the报刊 and in the home is being gradually solved by the Negroes themselves all over the world. "There must be no limit to our friendship," he said. "It makes no difference where a man was born, whether he was born in Charleston or South Carolina; if he is a block man, he is a black man, whether he was born in Cuba or in the West Indies or in America, it made no difference, for in the eyes of the white man we were Negroes just the sam." Organizations That Have Failed to Lead What we need to do is to get together and solve our own problem and stop all this jealousy among ourselves. There is too much jealousy among the Negro himself. Perry Negro cannot lead. "You will find," said the speaker, "that it will take years and years for one Negro to introduce an organization that is able to hold any large number of Negroes together. We have had the Masoule organization for years; we have had the Pythians; we have had the Odd Follows; we have had the True Re- MASS MEETING In the Interest of Sending the First Ambassador of the Negro Peoples of the World to England Come and See and Hear the Ambassador, Who Will Sail in a Few Days to Take Up. His Residence in London Chair Will, Be Occupied by Hon. Marcus Garvey, His First Appearance After His Short Trip to the South The Universal Negro Improvement Association Will Also Send an Ambassador to Japan, and One to Germany and Russia formers; we have the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; we have the National Equal Rights League; we have the Urban League; we have the Race Congress, and we have the Sanhedrin, organized by Professor Kelly Miller, and yet all these organizations have failed to lead our people, and you must give credit to a man who can foster a movement that leads the people like the Universal Negro Improvement Association is leading them." He had seen other organization start to lead but before they had gotten far their followers had all gone back. But in the Hon. Marcus Garvey, Negroes had a leader whom they were following. The Negro Like a Rubber Ball "The Negro has had so much fighting and criticism against him that he is like a rubber ball. He has been knocked and kicked around from Georgia to South Carolina; from South Carolina to New York; from the West Indian Islands to America, to Cuba to Spain; now he is being kicked around in France, and after a while he is going to be kicked where he wants to be kicked—on top—and he is going to stay on top when he gets there. If the Negro ever gets on top he will never come down. (Applause.) The Negro will get up there. The reason he will get up there is this: The white man has had the world so long that he has got tired of it. The colored man has never had it yet and he is trying to get it; he is not tired, he has been working all the time trying to get it and just as soon as he reaches up his hand and puts his hand on it he is going to hold it. All we need is a chance, we never had a chance yet, to do very much; what little chance we have had was taken from us because we did not understand how to keep on living together. But forty years of living and burrowing in the Southland—adventures of the most brutal land perpetrated in America on the black man in the South—has displaced God, and in a time he is belonging Negro together. Honor Yourselves Negroes must be taught to honor themselves and honor their race; they must be taught to understand that the failure of any movement of their race is a failure to the entire race. The speaker called attention to a report which appeared recently in the newspapers of the failure of a large steamship company, but of which nothing much has been told about it. New theles, as soon as the Negro made a little failure with one boat the whole world is talking about it. In South Dakota a national bank failed with a loss of $500,000 and nobody heard about it; but just as soon as John Mitchell made a failure in Kansas and he was put in jail because he was a Negro. If one Negro falls it is a failure in the family, and somebody else will get the benefit of it. If an Indian man falls the Irs have will get the benefit of it; but if one Negro falls we get mad and want to kill because one Negro made a failure. The failure comes about because the project support was not given, but when it comes the blame is put on the leader. The truth is that the whole organization was working against the leader. He advised was to work together when you do not feel like working, work when you are not pleased and work when you are pleased; keep on working and then you will be doing something. The man or woman who speaks against the U. N. J. A. is a traitor to his race and himself. Carry Your Own Burden "After all, you and I need not look for any man to carry our burden; you must carry your own burden upon your shoulders; be no longer the "white man's burden," but carry your own burden. Bring your children into this organization; bring your husbands into this organization; bring your wives into this organization; stand up for it; if it goes down you will go down with in. (Applause.) Another thing I ask you to do and I hope you will do it: Do not allow anybody to come to your house and run this organisation down as long as you are a member of it. (Applause.) I am told a member of my church in Washington that she was cooking for a family for thirty years. The family had already made their will, leaving her so much, but they spoke about this organization and she stopped cooking. The family sat at the table waiting, but this woman told them she could not cook. They inquired the reason, and she told them if they talked of one Negro they would talk about all. She demanded that they apologize or she would leave their kitchen, which they did, and thereafter stopped talking against the organization."

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, 1924 FILIPINOS DEMAND SELF-GOVERNMENT benevolently "assimilating" Cubans, Dominicans, Porto Ricans, Haitians, Virgin Islanders, and Filipinos, all of whom it has overlainship of, and none of whom are satisfied with the sort of rule they have and have been getting. All of them are fighting mad and protesting all of the time against the sort of government imposed upon them, in which they have little participation, and the administration of the government which is said to be of the worst sort in Haiti, the Virgin Islands and the Philippines. Where there is so much smoke there must be some fire. The trouble appears to be that the average white American administrator, civil, naval and military, has no respect for Negroes or off-color people, and triangles upon their rights and feelings with brutal disregard of consequences. We found this so when we were visiting Hawaii and the Philippines some years ago, and from the protests which have since been constantly lodged against American over-lordship, we judge there has been no change for the better. Just now the Filipinos are in revolt against Governor-General Leonard Wood, declaring that "the theories and principles underlying Governor Wood's actions are utterly repugnant to the policies that go to make up the cornerstone of Philippine autonomous government," and insisting that "the time for Philippine independence has come." A Philippines commission is now in Washington striving to get from the President and the Congress what they want. They haven't got an easy job. ARKANSAS JUSTICE OF THE MIXED PICKLES SORT WE read with interest reports The Negro World receives of the efforts of the American Civil Liberties Union to protect white persons who get tangled with Federal law by exercising too much freedom of thought and conduct outside of law. Radical editors and riotous labor union people appear to have the entire sympathies of the Union. We publish in another column of The Negro World today an article headed, "Arkansas Justice of the Mixed Pickles Sort," which will interest thousands of readers of this newspaper who reside in the Mississippi Valley, and who are made the victims of the laws and the public opinion of the States in which they reside, at the caprice of law enforcing authorities and mobocratic public opinion, and whose cause, as in the Philips county Arkansas, outrages, when a mob, led by officers of the law, provoked a riot in which more than a hundred Negroes were made the victims, for quietly and paceably assembling to protest against the tyranny and extortion of planters and storekeepers, has not been championed by any white Liberties league, as far as we have seen. The American Civil Liberties Union is much wrought up over the way the authorities of Arkansas have handled the riotous railway strikers on the Missouri & North Arkansas Railroad. The two who were convicted and sentenced for sabotage have been "furloughed" by Governor Mackay, and the Union puts up a loud, long wail about it, whereas, if they had been black, they probably would have been hanged dead by the neck or heels by an irresponsible mob. We are glad we have about reached the point where white men cannot get justice in the South because justice is denied to the black man. The white mob has turned on the white suspect, and, as it is easy to suspect any white man, all white men in the South are beginning to feel uneasy in the security of their lives and property. When all of them become of such fear, lawlessness will be frowned upon in such a way that law and legal process for blacks and whites alike will become the rule and not the exception. And what a nasty mess, for the whole Nation has been developed by the lawlessness of white men in the South since 1870!. It has disgraced the Nation and made it a by word and hissing among the Nations. INDEPENDENT POLITICAL ACTION ADVISED A far back in history as 1884 the editor of The Negro World advised independent action on the part of the race in politics. There were then no Jim Crow laws, nor disfranchisement laws in the Southern States. We could not see then, and we cannot see now, why the politics of all Negroes should be known by the color of skins any more than the church denomination to which they may belong. Neither his politics per his religion should be indicted by the color of the person. We did not consider "the Republican party as the ship and all else the ocean" then and we do not consider it so now. We do not believe that parties make men but that men make parties. They make them to serve their best interests, and when they fail to do so they become unworthy and dangerous servant. That is conspirion about parties. Of course, we are Republican in politics, but upon the principle that the party belongs to us and that we do not belong to the party. When it is faithful to us we are disposed to be faithful to it. Think of a member, or group of members, of the Universal Negro Improvement Association supporting a party, or a bunch of men, that takes their votes year in and year out and gives them sucers and jeers and contempt for their votes? The thing is not to be imagined, but it has been done for fifty years. In another column of The Negro World today we publish an article seafy by the Independent News Service of Richmond, which will be read with interest, we believe. It says that a Conference will soon be held in a Southern City to consider the political status of the race, especially in the South, we suppose, and to devise ways by which that status can be bettered. It should be a conference with far reaching results for good, but it will fail if black, nireclings of the Republician or Democratic parties, or a lot of white folks' Negroes, are allowed to take part in it. Mr. H. H. Price of Richmond, a reputable business man of the race, who ran for Congress in the Third Virginia district in 1920, and who came out second with four candidates, running, appears to be heading the movement, upon which he has been working for quite a year. He says that "the day has come and the hour is at hand when we must hit the independent trail." The situation calls for wise consideration and judicious action, and we shall see if we get these out of the Conference.

GREAT YEAR FOR THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION HONORABLE MARCUS GARVEY, President General of the Universal Improvement Association, has said that he expects the year upon which we are just entering to be one of the most memorable in the history of the Association. That should be the sentiment of each member and each local. That is the way to make the statement come true. One of the marvels in Negro history has been the splendid way in which the membership and the locals of the Universal Negro Improvement Association have stood shoulder to shoulder in the past five years for the accomplishment of high purposes of the Association. There is nothing else like it in Negro history. It has been a revelation to all the vast host of enemies who have believed that it was impossible for Negroes to create and maintain with enthusiasm and financial support an organization of their own; to select a leader of their own and to follow him with loyal and unswerving support in sunshine and storm. They have been taught that what the Negro can do in an organization like the Universal Negro Improvement Association he can do in an African State of his own. It was necessary to teach them that. They are taught. The Negro World is the best and most effective missionary the Universal Negro Improvement Association has. It makes opinion. It creates respect. It keeps the membership of the Association in touch with each other. It should be the business of every member of the Association to boost the Negro World. We want to double its circulation. It can be done if each reader will induce a friend to subscribe to it. Will you get busy on the job? We think you will. It is your job and we are sure you are going to get busy on it at once. REMARKABLE THRIFT SHOWING GREAT many people do not understand the fact that money is blood. We have not seen the fact advanced by writers on finance, or economics. But it is easily demonstrated by the simple statement that it takes a dollar's worth of food, say, to produce a dollar's worth of blood, of life, and, reversely, that it takes a dollar's worth of blood to make a dollar's worth of food. If workers or those who live on incomes, spend more than they receive, they will soon be physically unable to produce anything on the one hand or receive any income, and must needs begin to eat up the principal, which is the straight road to poverty and want. A great many people, wage earners, waste the hours and the money in riotous living, after working hours, that should be conserved in order to give them the necessary physical rest and food to do their work. Such people burn the candle at both ends and have a funeral, often at the expense of the public, sooner than would have been the case if they had taken the proper rest and eaten the necessary food. By parity of reasoning, the money of the nation is the coined blood of the people. When administrators squander in ill-advised ways, the money of the people, they simply squander the blood of the people. That is what makes high taxation, which makes possible high rentals and high cost of food and clothing, and the like. The person who uses these things, and does not own them, has to pay for them when they get them of others. For example, those who buy of a grocer pay his rent and the keep of himself and his family and the replenishing of his stock of groceries and the interest on the money he has invested in the business. The grocer pays nothing. So it is with the tenant; he pays all of the costs in taxes, repairs and investment of capital represented in the tenement. The owner pays nothing. The average person in France and Dutch Holland is said to be among the most saving people in Europe. The people of the United States are not noted for their thrift, for their saving habit. They are good spenders. They make more than other people and they spend more in necessary living expenses and in luxuries. But the bank showings of the last year indicate that the people of the country are becoming vastly more saving than in former years. It is a healthy sign. Take the showing made by the Christmas Fund savers for the past year. Some 5,500 banks throughout the country distributed checks to 5,468,000 members, aggregating $216,000,000, of the face value of $12.50 to $1,000. It is estimated that some 48 per cent. of this aggregate was spent on holiday celebration, while 28 per cent. was redeposited, the remainder being spent for payment on mortgages, taxes, and the like. We have not the figures at hand, and perhaps they could not be got, as much of Negro money is on deposit in white banks, but that Negroes are largely represented in the Christmas Fund memberships is shown by one of the four banks we have in the Norfolk, Va., district that distributed more than $125,000 to its members. The Negro World is certain that a large number of the members in the Norfolk district, and all over the country, are members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. That is as it should be. Practice the saving habit. It is a real life saver. President Coolidge: being a "silent man." Also out of the South comes an Autt-Ku Klux Klan organization; open to every American without reference to sex, religion, nationality or race. The three Kerford brothers of Atchison, Kan., own a stone quarry in which they employ 27 men. Recent improvements include a $35,000 machinery equipment. Negro veterans of the World War appear to be more interested in adequate and conveniently located hospitalization facilities for their wounded "buddies" than in the proposed bonus legislation. There was a drizzling rain falling; charged with icicles. It was a good Sunday night to remain indoors, and hug the register. Thousands of people had a like mind, I doubt not. And I am not afraid of cold and rainy weather, although I came out of the subtropics a great many years ago. And I have seen the gorgeous magnolias bloom high in the trees they affect, and acres on acres of oranges with their suffocating blossoms filling the air before the fruit came and eat them up to make oranges, and I have plucked the sweet shrub and revelled in its perfume, all where they are native to the soil, and I have listened to the mocking bird thrill all the place with incomparable melody the while, the air being warm and soft and soporific—but that was long ago and far from Harlem. The Sunday night was such an one as people like to spend by the register or stove or fireplace. But the urge to go to Liberty Hall, the black man's free forum, was upon me and the bad weather could not hold me within where it was good and pleasant to be. What a mysterious thing the urge is! It just takes possession of you and leads you whither it will. And it is responsible for much of the troubles into which we are led—the still small voice which we do not all hear, not all. And I went out into the dark and the rain and into Liberty Hall. It is said that Liberty Hall will seat 6,000 people. I did not expect on such a night to find a great many people there, but the hall was crowded, as usual. It was 9 o'clock, and the land was playing, and the High Officers, Black Cross Nurses, the battalions of the Legion and the splendid choir, were all marching, clothed in the uniforms of the Auxiliaries, of the Universal Negro Improvement Association all marching, and making such a striking exhibition in appearance and movement as are seldom seen anywhere else. It was several minutes before I could make my way to the platform and face the thousands of expectant faces focussed on Erminie Carter, the First Vice-president of the New York local, 11,000 strong, who had charge of the exercises for the moment. The audience listened to the program as it unfolded, with music and song, all attuned to the purposes of the Association, but it listened in a sort of restless way that I could not understand, with an endless crining of necks towards the tar entrance, as if the coming of some one was expected. Mr. Carter noticed it, and felt constrained to announce that President Garvey, who had spoken at Burlington in the afternoon, was expected any moment. Then I understood. We were leaving Hamlet with Hamlet left out, and the big audience was not satisfied. The program dragged along in a hunadrum way, with no enthusiasm, but with a wistful looking to the far entrance for the coming of the chief. What a tremendous thing it is to be able to in spite the love and admiration of millions of people, who are not satisfied when you are gone and overwhelm you with affection and attention when you are with them. Only a few men in history have been so blessed, marked men, who have changed the map of the world or the philosophy which had shaped the destinies of mankind. And, then, as if he had come right up out of the bottom of Nowhere, Marcus Garvey appeared on the platform and faced the assembled host, clothed in the robes of his office, and the vast gathering broke into applause, which sounded like the rush of many waters. 135th Street.Library Notes The second "Book: Evening" of the year will be Thursday, January 10, at the library.

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 Brotherhood 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. January 1, 1924. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS Let us as a race watch closer and do more to safeguard our interests in the community and not be led astray by the empty promises of men who only ambition is to gain political favor for their own selfish interests.—Omaha New Era. The political doings of our group in other sections of the country are convincing proof that we understand the game of politics a great deal better, and we have no especial love for any party, or men who are the candidates of parties, who refuse to accept us as citizens and seek us as men.—News Star. Why should colored voters support the Republican party candidates in this State? This is the question being asked by many loyal supporters of that party. The question is unanswerable except the old, worn-out chestnut; the Republican party freed the colored people Portland (Ore.) Advocate. We talk a great deal about migration and "star lecturers" of both races have almost worn the topic out. Some of their utterances have had the effect of developing the star-gazing habit among a class of the race. Star-gazing is not a profitable pastime. Landless people are always powerless. While star gazing, Negrias must never target the advantages in land ownership. It is a stabilizer. Land ownership always provides opportunity for any people to live and enjoy the privileges of life which are the direct results of property holding. Ownership of the land is one of RESIDENT COOLIDGE'S MESSAGE TO THE NEGRO Pays High Tribute to the Progress of the Race in War and Peace, Beating the Historic Record President Calvin Coolidge, in a letter addressed to Cleveland G. Allen pays a remarkable tribute to the progress of the Negro since emancipation. In his letter, written in that straightforward manner so characteristic of the President, he says that no race has made such a record in such a short time. The letter was sent to be read at the emancipation exercises held at Salem M. L. Church on Sunday afternoon, December 30. The President's letter is as follows: "My Dear Mr. Allen: Thank you for your letter telling one of the arrangements by the colored citizens of New York to hold emancipation exercises on December 30. The occasion is a most appropriate one for a survey of the marvelous progress which the colored race in America has made in the historically every brief time since it achieved liberty. It has been said often, but it is so true that it is worth repeating many more times that there is no historic record of such accomplishment by a race of people in so brief a period. Measured by their material achievement in the acquisition of property and substance or by their advance in education and equipment for the full duties of citizenship; or by their participation in the great task of uplifting and defending the nation of which they are a part, the colored people of the United States have made a record which they may well regard with profound satisfaction and the utmost gratitude. "Most sincerely, 'CALVIN COOLIDGE.'" --- the first step in production. No race can get far in the world without producing and marketing its products. -Pittsburgh American. Let him who will claim the credit for causing the National Republican Committee not to lower the Southern represen-tation in the National Convention, this much stands out clearly: the Republicans do not fear today the neig-hip. Negro vote in the Southern States, which will stand in the Democratic columns, no matter what is done. However, they are on pins and needles about the Negro vote in other States like New York, Illinois, Ohio, Penisylvania, Maryland, Kentucky, Michigan, and two California, where black voters far from being pleased with the administration. -Baltimore Man-American. The other day we were talking to a prominent business man who is tremendously interested in our race in this city. He knows a whole lot about our weak points and our strong points. In the course of our conversations he said: "I have been informed that the credit rating of the colored people in this city is much lower than it ought to be, because while some are very prompt in paying their debts, others are slow, and as a result the average is low." Here is something readily to think about, and if any who read this are curious about meeting their obligations and paying their debts, we wonder if they will not see the wisdom of improving their credit rating — Omaha Monitor.

He does not realize that there are a million creeping, crawling things doing better than that in a minute. Mass business among us is intertwined with the success secured by the force of circumstances. Means and methods of results attained have been matters deferred for future consideration. Management has taken its hundred to one profit at the expense of the guts of the business and continued to thrive, but the reckoning is near at hand. Trained brains will no longer be secured for position. Profits unlimited can only be garnered by teh use of them, and your future success, Mr. Business Man of National Scope, lies in your ability to see the fallacy of the hundred to one basis and the installation of methods that will be conducive to the morale of your business.

You cannot expect this attitude of your force unless you are making provisions for their that are conducive to their best efforts. I mean, by that simply this: Volume of business is simply embryonic of what it will be ten years hence in our group; and the man or set of men who see the future potentialities with relative values as regards production will be these that will control the situation. Twenty years hence values of our group will not be measured by church ownings. Scope, breadth and depth of business houses will not be measured by city blocks or counties.

(From the GARY Sun) BACKWARD CONDITIONS IN BRITISH HONDURAS There Are 44,500 Blacks to 500 Whites—Poor Schools and Practically No Development of Colony's Splendid Resources BELIZE LIBERTY HALL BY ISABELLE LAWRENCE In compliance with a request from the Editor of the Negro World, I am giving a brief account of conditions as I see them in British Honduras, especially Belize. British Honduras, situated in Central America, boasts of a population of 45,000. Of the 45,000 inhabitants there are about 500 white persons. The entire upkeep of the colony depends upon its exports, which consist of mahogany, cedar, logwood, chicle, banana, coconuts, etc. Transportation is done chiefly by water, since the entire colony boasts of but one railway, twenty-five miles long. Timber has to be floated down stream, a distance of about fifty to 100 miles, raking from five days to two weeks, sometimes longer, according to the current. The colony is altogether undeveloped and abounds with wonderful natural beauties. Helize, the chief town of British Honduras, has a population of 12,000, of whom about 250 are white persons. From the foregoing account I need POOR MAN'S DOCTOR THOUSANDS GET WELL From all over the world I get letters from people who were sick, telling me how much my Bulgarian Herb Tea has helped them. It is the poor man's doctor because it is simple to prepare, its cost is very small and it surely does the work. Don't feel like a victim of the hookworm. Get back your pep, vigor and energy. Start right in now and take Bulgarian Tea. Yes sir, it will make you feel fine. You know that you can not be happy when your blood is full of poison and disease. Start in right now to become afraid and healthy. Don't wait. The rich, invigorating moss beowed from Bulgarian Herb Tea should make you feel too in thirty years younger. See your drugstreet for a package today — tell him you want Bulgarian Herb Tea compound in the red and yellow box like no imitations. In case your doctor cannot supply you I will send you my large box postpaid for $1.00. Address me, H. H. Von Seilick, President, Marvel Products Company, Dept 100, Marvel Building, Pittsburgh, Pa. not add that the system of representative government obtains here. The public offices are not such as one sees in other British colonies. The public office, for instance, is a terribly unhygienic building, with dust and colwebs everywhere. The wonder is that the personnel of this office are able to use their brains, but, perhaps, the Negro's brain is peculiar to himself and can withstand all kinds and conditions of crises-crosses, made by the spider without any ill effect. His hardihood and virility, the accounts for no positive ill effects physically. There are no government owned schools in Belling nor in the whole of British Honduras. A grant is given by the government to the churches, which own and operate the schools. The school children must pay a fee of five cents per week. In spite of this antiquated school fee condition, there is a system of compulsory education (?) for which, when violated, a penalty must be paid, subject to the discretion of the District Commissioner. The average laborer receives $1 per day for his labor. Imported food-stuffs such as rice, flour, outmeal, macaroni, canned-meats and fish, are much more expensive here than they are in the cities in which they are manufactured. Still Preparing for Death On the whole, living conditions for the majority of our people here are deplorable. The churches are no better than elsewhere. The "shepherds" are forever on the job preparing the souls of their various flocks for the grim harvester. The young men of Bellis unfortunately have not joined forces with the U. N. L. A. in large enough numbers, for fear, I am told, of losing their fat (?) government envelopes at the end of the month. So, you see, the white man's bluff is still working strongly in some parts. The Division here is doing, fairly good work and the officers and loyal members deserve commendation, for they have been working against fearful odds. Their Liberty Hall is being enlarged and renovated. A successful industrial exhibition was held there by the division on December 19-21. The Black Cross Nurses also held a baby health competition on December 21, the first of its kind held in British Honduras. The primary object of the baby health conference is to stimulate interest in child health, a sadly neglected affair, as attested by the expelling infant death rate. With the dawning of the New Year, dear friends, in the fold of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, let us rededicate our lives to the cause that spells liberty, freedom and happiness. And to our dear friends outside of the fold, we say: The object we have had in view Must we again relate to you?

SUBSCRIBE TO THE NEGRO WORLD THE INDISPENSABLE WEEKLY AN APPEAL TO REASON By HUBERT J. COX There was a time when constructive criticism was in order; then it was that no definite steps were taken to understand, say, how to overcome the handcuffs and obstacles found in the lives of Negro people the world over. Time has changed. It is not too much to expect criticism to be along new lines. Definite steps have been taken to understand ways and means contrived and now acted upon to erase hardcuffs and obstacles that stand in the way of Negro progress, wherever the need exists for changes and reforms in the interests of the people concerned. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is in a position, through the honesty of its efforts, to broadcast some astounding truths that cannot help showing up the strange contracts found in human nature. A Determined Mind Any man or body of men acting in the best interests of all parties concerned, adjusting, his or their plans to meet the personal wishes of individuals, is doomed to certain failure. If that were the only condition that had to be met a good deal of money, energy and material would be saved for other purposes. A determined mind discovers people who want things done; it also finds out that these same people stand in the way, holding up the work and contributing, sometimes with the best of intentions, against the successful end of the thing to be done. Stranger still is the fact that those people refuse to help after an opportunity has been given them by a favorable consideration of their views. Gradations in Intelligence Nature is not a composite of the various forms of life and material found in the world. Each portion of her vast empire represents the best in its particular line and scope. The variety is a pleasing ensemble of the scheme of creation. Likewise, there will never be a complete assent by any one group about and for the carrying out of any plan. The gradations in the intelligence of men, moving in harmony, give telling its full measure of usefulness. A strong leadership, a mass of followers, is the best background on which an enduring structure can be erected. However, subversion has taken such a strong, hold on people that they fall to be considerate of the aims and purposes, going so far in reactionary measures as to declare themselves anything but a part of what nature intended them to be in their own right and might. Neutrality a Lle After explanations have been given, statements investigated for the available proof, in hasty many people try leaving the wayward ones alone. Weak people are a drag on the strong ones; strong people are a menace to the weak ones. Neutrality is a lie. A decision for or against is the proper course. In other words, we are at the place when each unit counts in the upward and onward march to freedom of person, protection of property, pursuit of happiness, organized opinion through TO READERS OF RO WORLD Newspaper.

It shows their interest or curiosity on the one hand; on the other it shows intelligence and the desire to have someone else shoulder the workload. Shirking a duty is not common with our people, they require to be told to do it often, and why, when, how and where. This writer does not believe in hounding, narging or complaining. It is plain as daylight. I dislike this sort of writing more than you do. But the proper way is to find out what is to be done, then do it. He knows best to command who, can obey. Another thing, our general disposition is too even to justify the name shirker. All together, pull hard and swiftly against the hidden rocks in what used to be life's uncharted sea. The Voice of the People The press and its allied branches constitute a great institution for the preparation and dissemination of information hard to heat. Every community that has a small printing office must become a central figure in the new uplift work. The men who make, up our news articles, editors, books and special features, as a rule, are a body of clean and logical thinkers, high-minded, cultured and resourceful. They are in a position to interpret the needs of the hour with a sure opinion, based on their insight, experience, travel, understanding, spirit for co-operation, helpfulness and sincerity to an ideal. If there were no shortcomings in the moral fiber of our communities, if life in its various manifestations had failed to give man a free hand, all efforts would be useless in articulating the needs of the oppressed. On the contrary, we find each day new food for thought, new things to be done in a more efficient way; we see that all life radiates a persistent onward effort, inherent to itself, giving a more progressive spirit to the backward, also reaching out to distant lands where, perchance, perfection lies. The ultimate goal of the human family no man living will ever be able to determine. We can only keep going on, and on. In doing this, "we do not know in that day what we shall be like." We can be certain, however, RHEUMATISM If you are sick with Rheumatism, Swimming, Lunch-Bago, Lame Back, Gout. If you are suffering with Mackenzie, Steep Muscles, Sore Knee Pain, Joints Aching Bones.

When a man falls, a party lays, an organization disbands, an enterprise or business goes into receivership or bankruptcy, only the people in the immediate guidance and on whose shoulders the trust was imposed know the heartache and the deathwound that has started. Far removed from the eye of mortal friends, relatives, and even those rallying to one's assistance is the gall, and wormwood that must be drunk by every man in the course of his natural life. We know, too well, that time calls for honest discontent, on which the future must hang, avoiding an far as possible negligence, attention, love of case that must be resolutely fought to gain a sure footing on the ever-changing stage. When failure comes, it is no time for sadness and folding of hands; it is no time to find someone to blame; rather it calls for all the courage, tact, initiative, interpid determination and iron will to start again and keep on. The spirit of the Western Hemisphere that does not acknowledge defeat is the greatest inheritance of the twentieth century. Every defeat when it must be faced is a course of training that will stand anyone in the ring for new conflicts, a guide and counsellor to avoid, at least, that old kind of error. We have come SPECIAL WARNING In view of the fact that many persons are representing themselves a being sent put by the Universal Negro Improvement Association but bear no credentials, take warning that In the future "no person or persons must be entertained without having in their possession proper credentials signed by the President-General and Secretary-General of the Association."

The New Outlook The professions of medicine, law, theology, art, sculpture, music, literature and stage, serving their purposes, must make way, for or get in team work with economies, commerce, trade, business, agriculture, shipping, railroading, manufacture, production and invention. Everything counts in the world and it is for that reason that our one-sided development must change almost minutely, taking care that we extend ourselves in these new fields of wealth, position, influence and power. A mental revolution has taken place in the lives of colored people all over the world, and when the team work of brain and hands starts to make its force felt, mumps will chance, treaties will be rewritten, new understandings arrived at with the consent and approval of all the interested parties. These things are told to you because the confusion of not knowing what we are really after has been a way of escape for those finding it a means to their own self-interest. Enthusiasm in Adventure The Universal Negro Improvement Association marches on to its righteous objective undaunted, unafraid, unconquerable. It declares in language easy to understand its purpose and the scope of its work. It has the courage to dare; the enthusiasm to attain, the will and the people behind it to bring about a favorable acceptance of its high purposes. The appeal to reason goes forth in favor of those watching us more than in defense of its unique position. 12-Cent Tax on Dancing To Feed Berlin Poor BERLIN, Jan. 8.—(By the Associate Press.)—Dancers in Berlin cabaret and restaurants are to one-step foot into the mouths of the poor and destitute. Under a ruling of municipal authorities each dancer is to be taxed approximately 12 cents for the privilege of following about the melodies of the jazz orchestra, so that the revenue of each dancer will provide food for at least two empty stomachs a day. Relle workers estimate this revenue will feed from 15,000 to 13,000 persons now dependent upon charity. EAST AFRICA'S BIG CROP ARE YOU GROPING IN DARKNESS?

TARA STUDIO, 1123 Broadway, Desk 36, NEW YORK From the London Times Weekly The Colonial Office has wisely thought better of its somewhat hasty decision to dismantle the railway line which runs from Vish, in Kenya Colony, to Tanzania, and then across the boundary to Kahe, in Tanganyika. The announcement of this apparently retrograde step earlier in the year provoked the strongest protest from settlers in the districts served by the railway. In spite of the representations made on their behalf, however, the Colonial Office seemed determined to abide by a decision which was in direct contradiction of the recommendation made by its own experts two years before. Fortunately wise counsel have prevailed; the matter has been reopened, and, as a result of negotiations with the men on the spot, it is now announced that the Government of Kenya will take over the responsibility of the line. The "lively satisfaction" at the news which is described by our Nairobi correspondent will not be confined to the settlers who will derive immediate benefit. The line, in proper order, will serve to carry the produce of the fertile districts around Moshi and Kilima Nairobi to Kikilindu Harbor, where the existing natural advantages have been still further improved by heavy expenditure, instead of taking it to the far inferior port of Tanga, with its shifting sandbanks and primitive arrangements for loading cargo. Those who are familiar with East African affairs, however, will realize that the news has an even more important aspect. The crossing of the arbitrary boundary between Kenya and Tanganyika by a continuous railway line, administered by the Kenya Government, yet helping to carry the produce of the two territories to a common port, is a most notable advance in that policy of mutual co-operation which is so desirable. Nor is Uganda to be excluded from the partnership of those territories whose interests and industries have so much in common. A few days ago an announcement was made of the decision to extend the Uasin Gishi railway line from the proposed terminus at Eldoret, in Kenya, to Jinja, in Uganda. There is something ironic in the fact that the Ilie from Mombasa, politely described as "The Uganda Railway", should, after traversing nearly 600 miles of Kenya territory, come to a full stop at Kisumu, on the eastern shores of the Victoria Nyanza and about 100 miles BISHOP I.

The transport of Uganda cotton to the coast, and thence to the market overseas, is therefore a matter involving a series of transshipments. The ginger, for instance, who buys his cotton from the native grower in the rich Bhusoga district is at present compelled to load it on the useful little railway which runs from Namasagall to Jinja, at the junction of the Victorian Nile and the lakes. There it is transferred to one of the steamers which play around the lake, or to lighters in tow of a tug, and carried across the water to Kisumu, where it may lie for some time before a train leaves for Mombasa. The extension of the Lastin Gishu railway to Jinja will make this expensive and tedious system of transshipments unnecessary. It will give the eastern portion of Uganda, which produces 60 per cent. of its cotton, direct access to the coast; it will get free large numbers of natives who are present employed as carriers, and enable them to turn their hands to the actual production of cotton; it will help to open up the fertile country through which the line passes, thereby adding materially to the development of an industry in which lies the chief hope of the future prosperity of Uganda. The importance of the cotton crop in East Africa cannot be measured, however merely in terms of the prosperity either of the colony itself or of the individual cotton grower. Practically the entire crop in Uganda is produced by natives. The advance guards of British administration are the agricultural agents, who have taught the untrained traderman to lay aside his spear, to abandon his allegiance to the which doctor, and to devote himself instead to the cultivation of the little quarter-acre plot around his hut. Gradually these quarter-acre plots have merged into one another until isolated villages being in mutual hostility have been united in useful agricultural communities. Every penny, therefore, that is spent on the improvement of transport and communication is spent for the benefit of the natives no less than of the white settler whose courage and enterprise have taken him so far ahead, and of the workers at home who depend for employment upon his output. Will England Go Dry? Economic Value Considered "The land of the free—where a man can't get a drink!" the British's favorite sneer at American prohibition, is fast fading, as the one constant assertion that Britons never, never will suffer life without beer sounds more and more like a graveyard whistle. Charles Edward Russell has been in Europe studying the prohibition question. "In his article, 'Is the World Going Dily?' in the Century Magazine for January, he says that England is slowly but surely steering toward prohibition. When the British Parliament Is in session hardly a day passes without discussion or mention of the subject, and in England alone there are 207 societies working for prohibition. Prohibition in America has not been a moral triumph, but an economic necessity. It was not the marvelous organization of the Anti-Saloon League that put prohibition over, writes Mr. Russell. Big business realized the tremendously increased figures of British production when the kick was taken out of the workingman's beer, and rushed the eighteenth amendment into our Constitution. American prohibition has been such an eminent success economically that it has already upset the well-established balance of producing conditions upon which international distribution was adjusted. There is at present danger of American production flooding the world. European industrialists look with wry faces at the new feature in American success. They realize that industrial Europe will shortly be forced to adopt prohibition in self-defence. In fact, Germany and Japan are already making notable progress toward prohibition, and the Italian and French grape growers are studying other uses for grapes than to make wines. Immigration Quotas of Many Nations Exhausted WASHINGTON.-- Prior to the admission of immigrants January 1, there was a total unexhausted quota of 39,000 for all countries for the fiscal year which ends June 30, next. The total quota for the year is 527,503. Up to December 5, 514,223 had been admitted, leaving a balance as above stated. The nations which had completely exhausted their quota by December 5 were Belgium, the United Kingdom, Greece, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, Palestine, Syria, all the African countries and all of Asia outside of Turkey and Russia. The unexhausted quota of the majority of all countries was so small on December 5 that probably the complete figures for January will show that very few countries will be entitled to admissions, from now on until June 30. Let Me Tell You, FREE! THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, 1924 BEDTIME STORIES IN A PULLMAN SMOKER "Well, I see from the Paris papers that another French amarchist has been sent on the long trail," said a fine-featured traveler, who looked as though he might be a college professor. "He didn't believe in God, and how could he believe in Government?" continued at professorial gentleman, as he blew, a Tew smoke rings from his perfecto and looked intently at his companion, who, to my surprise, was our old friend, the Wandering Jew, doubtless on his way back East. Before the Jew could reply an angular looking gentleman, who had been silently enjoying the contents of a big meerschaum, intervened, "Served him darned right," said the owner of the meerschaum. "Those ginks that want to run the Government single-handedly must be shown where to get off—and quick, too. There's a lot of 'em over here in America, and no kind of punishment's too severe for 'em," he continued, with an emphatic gesture. "Did he have a fair trial?" inquired the Jew, mildly, as he turned to the professor. "Oh, year; and his lawyer exhausted every effort to see that he was justly dealt with. Nevertheless, he went to the guillotine with curses on his lips, and with no visible sign of repentance." "He ought not to have had a trial—anarchists aren't entitled to any" sputtered the mercershaum's owner in an appending tone. "But you believe, in law and order, don't you?" the Wandering Jew asked, as he folded up his newspaper and settled down to the discussion. "Sure, I believe in the law. I was in the State Legislature myself for over two years. But when you're dealing with anarchists the law doesn't count a pitywave. They don't recognize, law, and the law ought not to recognize them," responded the angular one, as he briskly struck a match. "So you were a lawmaker?" continued the Wanniering dow, who seemed to have warmed up to the debate. "And were you active in any particular legislation during your term?" he asked. "I sure was," responded the angular one curly. "But if I ever voted for any measure which gives any consideration to anarchists then I want to apologize to the people of my State," he concluded, with a look of pride. "In your opinion, what is an anarchist, anyhow?" insistently inquired the dow. "Any one who wages war against the law of both God and man," promptly responded the owner of the meerschaum, in a tone which indicated great self-satisfaction. "I quite agree with you on that" powered the law, with a smile "That's just why I wanted to feel that our minds were together before saying what I have in mind. I'm sorry you did not proclaim that belief in your state Legislature. I'm sorry still that you are not where legislation on that definition is really needed right now. Last year the National Congress tried to an appropriate way, to get at some anarchists in this country—right in the State where you doubtlessly reside. They tried to make a law to prevent some anarchists in this country from lynching American citizens from executing them without trial and without any resource to law and order." "That'a quite different," interjected the morguehaunt's owner. "If you only knew..." "Different! Where's the difference?" retorted the Wandering Jew. "You go right on down home and make up a working list of those amateurs, and I will help you prosecute them in a legal way. And if you don't feel like doing that you help me to legislate against them, and you'll be able to cheat better," snapped the Jew. Just then a long, loud laugh was heard outside the door of the smoker. "Who's that?" asked the owner of the morgeschau, in a suspecting tone. "Oh, that's the Negro porter," replied the professor, as he throws away his cigarette and departed for his berth. THE EDITOR AND THE POETS From the New York World. [In days of old when rhymes were hot] And ballads held their sway. The poems would swing like anything, And souls were brave and gay. In olden times when verse had rhymes And poetry bad fetters. Those were the days of roundelays And bards in love with letters. I see no longer simple song, And lyric limitation. "Dunn everything." the moderns sing, "Including punctuation." "Let freedom ring!" the moderns sing. "Our verse is free and winging!" It fails to fly, and rarely飞 I don't object to intellect. (I wrote the ninth dimension). But use a rule the modern school Is past my comprehension. I like to read the rhymes unfreed! I crave 'em. I demand 'em. Till death I'll fight for those who write So I can understand 'em. School Enrollment of Indian Children WASHINGTON.-The total number of employees of the Indian bureau is 5,499. Of this pumper, practically one-half are instructors and other employees of the Indian schools. During the last year the Bureau of Indian Affairs educated 61,413 Indian children, the highest school enrollment of Indian children yet attained in the history of the bureau. (From the New York Tribune) January 4: Word was received yesterday at the local offices of the French Line that the usual nine-day camel-back journey across the Sahara, between Tougourt in South Algeria, and Tozor in South Tunisia, had been reduced to three days of comfortable travel by automobile. This successful experiment was conducted prior to the opening of North Africa to tourist travel by the French Line. Last year a party of French engineers crossed the Sahara from Tougourt to Timbuco by automobile, a feat never before accomplished. The motor cars used in that expedition, however, were of the caterpillar-tractor type and the road traversed was over hard sand, which makes up the greater part of the North African desert. The distance between Tongcourt, and Tozeur, the district of the great dunes, constantly shifting and rising to heights of from fifty to sixty feet, made travel extremely difficult except by the dependable trotting canoe, or mehari. A party headed by Jey Dal Plaz, president of the French Line, and including a number of steamship officials and newspaper men, traveled in a specially constructed Renault automobile, having six sets of double wheels. M. Dal Plaz and his party inaugurated the new motor service as part of the extensive North African Motor Tours under the auspices of the French Line. According to the cable from M. Dal Plaz, the trip was made without fatigue to the pioneers and the highest dunes were easily climbed while natives in passing caravans stared in wild-eyed wonder at the spectacle. will be made a regular part of the Algeria-Tunisian itinerary of the North African Motor Tours, and the camel route will be abandoned, except for those tourists who prefer the long, ambling gate of the melart to the more rapid but less thrilling transportation afforded by the automobile, which will maintain an average speed of thirty kilometers an hour. As herefore, on this part of the itinerary a stop of one day will be made at 11 Oued, an oasis paradise one-third of the way between Tougour and Tozour. But, this stopover included, the entire trip of 235 kilometers may now be made between the morning of one day and the evening of the third day. Furthermore, though the Tougour-Laghouat route is yet to be covered for the first time either by the motor tours camel train or motor cars, the cable received definitely is assumed that regular motor service will also be established over that line.

"The Libyan Desert, the most inhospitable portion of the Sahara, which an Egyptian prince plans to cross to establish a route between the Nile and the Western Sahara, is the home of the song of the sands," according to a bulletin by the National Geographic Society here. "This is a distinctly musical but very faint sound given out by the sands of the desert, which sometimes seems to be composed of two distinct parts. One desert traveler described the one part as resembling the sighting of the wind in telegraph wires, and the other as a deep, throbbing sound that strongly resembled the after-reverberation of the chimes of a large clock. It took place after a steady downpour on an almost cold day, followed by frequent vivid summer lightning, and was explained by him as probably being caused by the sand pouring over a low dissivity somewhere, in his vicinity. "It is hard to realize that an utterly barren desert could be haunted by queer sounds and people with abundant animal life. When one treads upon the hard crust on the top of the sand it breaks with a hollow, almost bell-like" sound, and it is said there is a place on a plateau near Kasn Dakho which gives out a musical note when struck.

The Fraternity hall was well attended by the members, friends and visitors. The sermons delivered by the Rev. Moses Robinson of this city, and another minister of Kansas, were soul-stirring and reached even to the depths of the hearts of the little children. Certain it is, this division will long remember these two sermons. The excellent program which followed was of a high order and reflected great credit on all those who contributed to it. A splendid and appetizing dinner, prepared by the ladies of the division, did much to make the event a success. The orphans and the needy ones of the division were made happy. The evening program was full of inspiration and made us feel that the U. N. L. A. is here to stay until it has fulfilled its task.

The meeting was called to order by the president, C. E. Stewart, and then turned over to Brethera John Mulling, who conducted the service in a glove mumps. He directed a very eloquent sermon in which he compared the work of Christ with that of Marcus Glover, and collected his hearts to be standard because in the same way that the teachings of Christ had spread to the four quarters of the world, the feelings of the Hon Marcus Glover would also spread and become a pussy in the world. On Sunday night, there were well-pressed priests, consisting of the holy saints, Christmas anthems and addresses. All those who took part in the premium acquitted themselves well, but special mefion must be made of Miss Ruby Verge, Hollette Douglas and Miss Alberta Sydney. On New Year's eve a special watch night service was conducted. The hall was packed to its utmost and everyone prayed "For God's blessing on the movement for the coming year." CAMAGUEY DIVISION No.239 The growing determination of the members and well-wishers of the local has caused the officers to look forward to great accomplishments in the New Year. Our watch night service was extremely well attended by an enthusiastic gathering. The program was well arranged, and consisted of ad dresses and a seminar. Great attention was paid the speakers and the words which fell from their lips hate inspired and created new enthusiasm in the program of the organization. They realized the strength of determination and are not afraid of consequences when it comes to Negro liberty, freedom and redemption. We are certain that the members of the local will support strongly the program of the U. N. I. A. for the year 1924. The following gentlemen spoke: Mr. C. W. Jones of Havana, Mr. H. Woods of Havana, Mr. A. Jonos, president of the division, and Mr. Angus, secretary. An excellent program was rendered and our hand played some splendid selections under the baton of Mr. Selford. L. ANGUS. BATON BOUGE LA. The Baton Rouge Division is holding very enthusiastic meetings, which are well attended by the members and friends of the local. On January 4 the meeting was called to order by President Robinson and opened with the singing of the opening ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains," followed by prayer. The first speaker of the evening was Mrs. Lissie Pora, lady-president, who exhorted the members to get ready to go back home, for in spite of what might be said, Africa was really their home. Her address was brief and encouraging. The second speaker, Mrs. Clara, Anderson, lady-secretary, took as her subject, "Watchman, What of the Night?" and delivered an inspiring address. The last speaker was the president, Mr. Robinson, who took as his subject the thirty-seventh chapter of Ezackel. He made a comparison between the words tikon from the Bible and the task of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, he said, had been sent by God to wake up the four hundred million Negroes, and that God would eventually lead them to the promised land, where they would be His people and He their God. After refreshments were served the meeting was brought to a close. MUSKOGEE. OKLA. Recent reports from the Muskogee division indicate that the local is making rapid progress. Professor W. C. Serruzgs or Sapulpa paid the division a visit and delivered a very inspiring address, which fired the members of the local to work harder this year than they did the year before. The people of Muskogee read with a great deal of interest the speeches and the doings of those at headquarters, especially the weekly message of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. They have among them a member who saw service in France during the war, and who is now engaged in business. He has one factory and one store in this city. He manufactures flavoring extracts, vinegar, bluing and toilet articles. The name of this young man is J. E. Stevenson, and he asks us to go to Africa whenever the U. N. I. A. is ready to make use of his services. Muskogee division is calling upon all of its members to pay up their dues and to support the association as much as they can because they feel that the parent body needs the money if this great work is to be carried on to a successful issue. REPORTER CINCINNATI DIVISION Sundayclosing the first Sunday in the year 1924, the members of this division assembled in large numbers in their Liberty Hall, which is situated at 230 George Street.

THE MARCUS GARVEY APPEAL AND DEFENSE FUND The Expected First Blow Has Been Struck at the Race's Liberty Everybody Must Subscribe Now to Test Whether the Black Man Can Obtain Justice As was to be expected, Marcus Garvey has been found guilty by a jury of white men of using the United States mails to defraud. Many believe that the charge was only a sham to get Garvey with the hope of destroying his work. The whole thing seems to be made up of an international plot which will shortly expose itself. Several Negro men and organizations have been parties to what some regard as a "frame-up," but Truth shall have a hearing. An appeal must be taken to the highest courts of the land to further test justice; therefore, every Negro of loyalty and manhood is asked to subscribe to this fund. The fight for Africa's liberty is just begun; let us all help. Send in your subscription addressed to the Secretary, Marcus Garvey, Release Committee, 56 West 135th Street, New York City, N. Y. I, MARCUS GARVEY., have appointed Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey, Mr. William Sherrill and Mr. Clifford Bourne, as a committee to receive and disburse all moneys for my Appeal and Defense Fund.

Dr. Lee in his contact with society. First, it is a problem for mothers. The mother of the home should, so establish the principles of love, of kindness, justice and gentleness among her children that that home would always seem sweeter and more peaceful, than any other home. I contend that every home should be a Humane Society, with Love, Peace, Kindness, Justice and Fairplay as its guiding star. At the International Humane Conference held in New York City last October, the Rev. E. Rivers, Earnwell, field worker of the American Human Education Society, presented a paper on "Humane. Work Among Colored People in the South," in which he said: The school is a potent factor in our humane education. Our greatest handicap here is the lack of proper sympathy on the part of the teacher. The child is most wonderfully and beautifully responsive; the soil of its little heart and mind is so well prepared for the planting of the seeds of kindness that it only needs a little bit of sympathy and tact on the part of the teacher to bring the moral lessons to the child. The pupil should be taught that the dumb animals have rights to be respected; that in proportion as he is kind and thoughtful of the dumb he will be kind and thoughtful of the human. Hithamio education should be taught as a fundamental principle of right living to every member of the Negro race. I confess that it is the fundamental need of all races if we are to live in this world as a civilized people among ourselves and, in association with the dumb creatures whom God has so graciously given to man for his comfort and help in so many ways. The Negro is very receptive of human education. He is naturally sympathetic and, responsive, and a message of love, of kindness, of justice, and tail play reaches the very core of his heart and helps him to hope for brighter things. Most of his cruelty is due to ignorance and thoughtlessness rather than to real meanness of heart or purpose. And you will realize that his early training, teaching, and examples did not contain much of love. WHY NOT BE LUCKY? In marriage, money, business power and health.

Send all money by money order to Rebeldes, y gobiernoistas mejicanos, en poco gallarda pugna, comentan oficial y extensa y sonoramente en estos días la decision de Washington de vender armas al gobierno del presidente Obregón, como si se tratara de una batalla decisaiva que hubiera ganado uno de los bandos. El incidente es lamentable para Méjico; no digamos ya para obregonistas y huertistas. El gobierno, la revolución actual y, por ende, los destinos futuros del país misuno, aparecen según textos oficiales mejicanos decidiendose por el gloro que de a una plumada el secretario de estado de los Estados Unidos. La Aurora de un Nuevo Dia Para la Tan Anhelada Patria —Necesidad Imprecindible de la Unión de la Raza en Beneficio General de Sus Mfembros—Requiriendo la Cooperación Del Congreso de Los Estados Unidos y de Los Parlamentos de Inglaterra y de Francia— Esfuerzos en Pro de Mayor Unificación Nuestro elemento adelanta en todas direcciones su propia causa de independencia durante este nuevo año. Los informes recibidos en las oficinas generales de nuestra organización nos satisfacen ampliamente de la nueva determinación de nuestro pueblo, para convertirse en una de las fuerzas independientes entre las razas y las naciones. Todo esto es alentador, pues demuestra mayor grado de adelanto sobre el letargo de la raza en los últimos diez años. Juridicamente, al parecer por lo menos; nada hay que se oponga a la venta de armas de este gobierno al del presidente Obregón. Este ha sido reconocido por la Casa Blanca y nada más natural que un gobierno amigo autorice una operación de esta indole, destinada a que una administración domine a los perturbadores del orden. Legalmente, pues, el caso carece de importancia. De hecho la tiene decisiva porque presta al general Obregón recursos poderosos que le permitiritar combatar energicamente la revolución. La madre patria empieza a darse cuenta de su posición entre las naciones del-universo; sus pueblos del norte, sur y este; sin dar explicación alguna, indican al aventurero y al agrestor, quienes por siglos y siglos han desyastado la tierra de sus antepasados, que es hora ya de corregir la práctica de su política. Cuando los nativos del continente toman la responsabilidad de disciplinar al intruso, nos colocan en posición en este hemsferio occidental con no otro deber que el de recurrir a su asistencia, lo cual hemos de-realizar a toda costa y con la mejor intención. Esta se halia ahora en la misma posición en que los revolucionarios liberes cubanos que caudillara en 1916 el general José Miguel Gomez, se hallaron ante el apoyo de Washington al presidente Menocal. Prácticamente quedaron convertidos en enemigos de los Estados Unidos. Y el peso enorme de esta situación moral, más que la offensiva de las tropas leales al presidente cubano, acabó con la revuelta. Acaba de conmemorarse ha poco el quincuagésimo noveno aniversario de la emancipación en Norte America y vemos al presente que varios millones de nuestro elemento, en poco mas de medio siglo se ha convertido en los verdaderos directores de los intereses generales de la raza. En el campo del arte, de la ciencia, de la industria y de la política, nuestro elemento en este país y en las antillas ocupa una posición de importancia y no vemos razón por la cual-estos dos elementos del hemisferio occidental reusen unirse a sus hermanos en Africa, en pro de su redención y del establecimiento de un gobierno para protección de todos. No crecimos que los revolucionarios mejicanos, ni por supuesto el gobierno, se complazcan en comparar su caso actual con el de Cuba en 1916. Pero el hecho es inegable. La passion política de los candidatos presidenciales ha presentado a Méjico ante el mundo, como un país en que las revoluciones que se declara alientan el ideal vindicator de las libertades publicas, y los gobiernos que afirman mantener la normalidad constitucional contra el caudillaje político, están a merced del secretario de estado de Washington. Si este decide dejar ir armas al gobierno, la revolución es derrotada; si esta loga convencer al secretario de que no veida armas, el gobierno se derrumba. La propaganda de seis años de nuestra organización hacia la unión de las unidades de la raza diseminadas por el universo no ha sido vana, pues existen millones en esta parte del globo con un espiritu de servicio hacia la madre patria. Semana tras semana docenas de hombres y mujeres progresistas de la raza, parten de este país y de las antillas con dirección a diferentes puntos de aquel continente, lo cual nos alienta en la esperanza de que en el transcurso del presente año se tomen medidas más prácticas y eficientes para el traslado de aquel elemento, industrioso y de buena voluntad que desee cooperar a su reconstrucción. Los blancos y los negros quignes imparcialmente consideran el problema complejo de raza, encuentran solamente una solución, y esta es el que cada raza se desarrolla y evolucione en su propio medio ambiente. Tanto el asiatico como el europeo empieza a darse cuenta de la posibilidad de tal solución, y del mismo modo, debemos nosotros realizar que nuestra única esperanza de salvación descansa exclusivamente en la emancipación absoluta del continente africano. La batalla por el resurgimiento de los distintos grupos humanos se acrecienta de dia en dia; dentro de diez; cincuenta cien años más nueva historia será narrada, a quellos grupos sin preparación, quienes tal vez inconcientemente no hicieron esfuerzo alguno en tal dirección. Mejico, el Méjico popular, la mama, la tuerzas productoras, no tiene interés en esta revolución ni lo de muestra tampoco por el gobierno. Esa es la mejor demostración de escepticismo que han sembrado al tanto años de agitaciones políticas, personalistas y sin principios. Es un dolor que en las alternativas de ellas la soberania de la república pierda ginones. Es es un incidente que no solo Méjico laumenta algún día, sino que todo nuestro mundo hispano debe deplorar y condenar desde ahora.—10 Prensa, N. Y. La nacionalidad es la única protección de los pueblos, y la raza que se ve privada de tal protección, correrá el riesgo de verse sometida a esclavitud y servidumbre, en cuya lastimosa condición hemos estado por mas de tres siglos. Será para nuestra raza un día de gloria cuando sus hijos e hijas realizen el cumplimiento de su deber. Los reacciónarios quienes por varios años se han opuesto tenazmente al programa de nuestra organización, empiezan a cambiar de parecer; les vemos publicando manifestos en el corazón de Europa advocando la causa de la libertad de los pueblos africanos, cuya actitud nos llena de satisfacios completa. Los Descubrimientos y la Ciencia Los rayos X modernos van a decir dentro de poco el secreto de la tumba de triaje siglos del rey egipcio Tut-Ankh-Amen en el valle de los reyes, según se ha declarado por la comisión que preside el egiplogo Mr. Carter, sucesor del celebre Lord Carnarvon, que falleció el aljo pasado de una misteriosa infección contraida durante las excavaciones y que dio lugar a toda clase de teis religiosas. En el periodo de seis años hemos despertado a nuestro clemento del letargo de tantos siglos; hemos encendido la antorcha de libertad y esta alumbra cada dia con mayor brillantez. y será simplemente una cuestión de tiempo cuando las naciones del universo realizen la imperiosa necesidad de la asignación de nuestro puesto en el sol político de la civilización contemporánea. Mr. Howard Carter cree que la monia del rey est contenida en el sarcófago descubierto, pero con toda seguridad se emplearan los rayos X antes de remover la tapa del mismo. Carter espera poder abrir el sarcófago para mediados de mes. La tapa del sarcófago no se tocara hasta que las relujias de granito que protegen la urna no hayan sido completamente desmanteladas. Los trabajos conenzarán inmediatamente para temover las diferentes capas en que está encerrada la urna de piedra y que son de granito pintado en blanco y rojo. Los miembros de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra deben estar vanagloriados sobre los esfuerzos y realizaciones de la organización; el tiempo, la labor y el dinero invertidos no han sido en vano, pues pooo a poco vamos recogiendo su fruto beneficioso. Preparamos una petición la cual ha de ser endosada por seis millones de firmas, para ser presentada al Presidente y al Congreso de los Estados Unidos de America, solicitando la cooperación y asistencia necesarias para la realización de nuestro objetivo—nuestro nacionalismo en Africa. America, Inglaterra y Francia, adeudan a nuestra raza tal cooperación en el establecimiento de su propia nacionalidad; cuando America piense en su presante gloria, debe recordar los sacrificios y sufrimientos de sus esclavos de doscientos cincuenta años; cuando Inglaterra piense en su gran imperialismo, debe recordar la contribución de los millones de negros en sus colonias, proveyendola con la rtqueza que colocó los pilares de su estructura imperial; y Francia no podra menos que refrescar su memoria con los servicios a ella rendidos por los nativos del Africa, tantas cuantas veces peligro su propia nacionalidad. La salud del egipteologo ha comenzado a dar muestras de la tENSION a que ha estado sometido desde que se abrió por segunda vez la tumba. Sus amigos le dicen que debe preociparse de su salud y le recuerdan a ese efecto la muerte de lord Carnarvon, descubridor de la tumba y según los superciosios, caída bajo la nialdicion de los faraopos. La cancilleria inglés admira quas las diferentes capturas de buques británicos por las autoridades de la prohibición en los Estados Unidos está caudando mucha aguijada y poniendo en peligro las negociaciones para el proyecto tratado sobre el trafico de liceos. Los funcionarios dijeron que las mejores relaciones existen ahora entre Londres y Washington y que el tratado en perspectiva seria promo ratificado y puesto en vigor. Sin embargo ellos calificaron las continuas capturas de buques británicos como actos ilegales que han provocado considerable irritation en los circículos del gobierno británico. Este sentimiento de resentimiento, alegase, no se confina a Inglaterra sino que se propaga en todo el imperio británico. Londres cree que las capturas no fueron ordenadas por Washington sino el resultado de celo de parte de los oficiales federales. Los funcionarios dicen que los dominios estan estudiando actualmente el tratado y hacen hincapie en que cualquiera miembro del parlamento en uno de los dominios impedir la ratificación del tratado. El tratado se refiere tanto a los dominios como a Inglaterra y si algunas de dichas posesiones lo desapueban. Inglaterra tendrá que rechazararlo. Abogando Por Independencia En una resolución conjunta presentada en la camara de diputados por el representante Randin de Mississippi, se pide que se otorgue la completa independencia a las islas Filipinas. Y son varias las resoluciones que se han presentado en ese sentido lando en la camara como en el senado en las actuales sesiones, entre ellas la del senador democrata King, que pide la independencia mediata y la del representante republicano de Wisconsin Mr. Frear. Ignorare el partido que tome sobre la materia el presidente Coolidge, quien se decía presentaria al Congreso un mensaje especial sobre el panto, a fin de que este cuerpo decidiera lo que creyera conveniente. Por otra parte, el conissido residente señor Guevara en un informe vigoroso expuso ante el congreso so reciente los azones en que se funda para pedir tal independencia para el archipiélago, entre otras que más ganaran los Estados Unidos con una Filipinas independiente que con una Filipinas esca-vizada, en concepto de que así afirman su autoridad moral en los principios de la soberania popular en el archipiélago a la vez que el congreso consolidará la contienda en el depositala cuando promete al pueblo filipino en declaración solemne que la otergaria al cumplir los requisitos pantidos en la ley Jones, de decir que el pueblo filipino. Nadie duda ya la capacidad de ese pueblo en el sentido indíduo en la resolución y los espíritus desinjados y que vean lejos en los Estados Unidos estan porque se requiere esa independencia, como la que comprobó por las recientes resoluciones presentado en el congreso. Cuando los respectivos congresos informen sobre estas resoluciones se presentan oportunidad a ambas clamitas para dar su opinión en la materia. Mientras tanto, los diputios, al ver que reconen cuanto han hecho por ellos los Estados Unidos en el camino por alto el objetivo de su lucha de hace lógos, que e la completa independencia.

GOVERNMENT BUDGETS IN SPLENDER SHAPE Year Closed With Balance of $276,842,518 — Secretary Mellon Prodicts Prosperity for the Country in This Year TAXATION TO BE CUT WASHINGTON.—The calendar year 1923 was the best in the history of the United States Treasury department. When the books were balanced they showed an income during the calendar year of $1,164,905,600, which is $600,000,000 more than was received by the United States government in 1922. The expenditures for the calendar year were $2,888,063,082, which left a net balance to the credit of Uncle Sam of $278,822,518. The increased receipts came from two sources—income taxes and tariff. The revenue collected by the tariff at the customs houses for the calendar year, aggregated $382,380,000, which is $125,000,000 more than has ever been collected in the history of the United States by tariff: The tariff collections during the entire calendar year of 1923 averaged more than $1,500,000 a day. The other large source of revenue was the income and profits tax. During the calendar year $1,568,698,442 was collected from this source, as compared with $1,501,604,092 for 1922. In sprucing of the showing of the year just closed find the prospects for the coming year: Secretary of the Treasury Melton said: During the last year this country has made a remarkable recovery from a severe industrial depression. It has become increasingly evident that, with business on a sound footing and fairly balanced relating between industries, our own country can enjoy stability and a moderate degree of prosperity, even when unsatisfactory conditions prevail abroad. The result should not only inspire confidence for the future, but justifies the belief that the year immediately ahead of us will see continued progress, if the drag of an unsound basis of taxation is removed from business and industry. "Much depends upon the continued nature of the country to keep the mineral house in order, holding down expenditures and following sound policies and making new regulations." "The government has succeeded in closing the fiscal year 1923 with a surplus of about $310,000,000 above all expenditures chargeable against ordinary receipts, including the smoking fund and other debt retirement to watch the government's expansion under the sound policies of observing the budget and guidelines including the policies. Enter the year 1923 to the Treasury Department to complete the annual budget for the fiscal year 1923.

They had by special the appointment of the apprentices of the Ministry of Agriculture over 400,000,000 and the appointment of over 800,000,000 of War Savings collation. The year just closed but also witnessed the funding of the debt owed to this colony by Great Britain into blues; augmenting $1,000,000,000 with satisfactory arrangements for their gradual retirement. "As a result of the present favorable condition of the government's finances, the Treasury has recommended a reduction of taxes." In the letter that the country should be relieved, so far as may be possible, of the excessive burden of taxation which has been borne so uncomplainingly during and after the war. The Treasury has accordingly recommended to Congress that legislation be enacted which will distribute the benefits of tax reduction among all classes of taxpayers and release for investment in productive, enterprise funds which are necessary for the country's expansion and future healthy development. "I am convinced that, if the tax proposals are enacted into law and the sound policy of retrenchment in expenditures is continued, the coming year will witness a steady improvement in the favorable conditions which have already begun to make themselves felt, and this country will enjoy prosperity in 1924." Farm Wages Higher in 1923 Than Since War Time WASHINGTON.—Farmers were required to pay higher wages for farm labor during the last year than at any time since the peak of wages in 1928. The average monthly wage of farm hands in 1932, in addition to their board and lodging, was $33.18 a month. In 1914 the average monthly wage on the same basis was $21. Day wages for harvest labor, including board and lodging, were also higher in 1933 than in any previous year with the exception of 1920. The average daily wage to harvest hands, including board and lodging, last year was $2.45, as compared with $1.55 in 1914.

THE PEOPLE'S FORUM Name and Race Of the Negro To the Editor or The Negro World: Now, when thinking or speaking of treachery, stealth and chicanery, poor Jadas Iscariot, Benedict Arnold and Timothy Webster, generally came into our minds. But when using either of the historic three as a comparison, some of our modern so-called Negro leaders have them beat beyond death. For instance, let's consider the arch trattor. He had been with his Master and seen many manifestations of His power! had seen Him heal the sick, cleanse ten leppers at one shot, open the eyes of the blind and raise the dead, Judas loved gold, and when the priests offered him good gold he saw himself in possession of it through treachery, but he hadn't dreamed of the son of God hopelessly bound or crucified. When the real truth dawned upon poor Judas he carried the stuff back; he wanted no gold, and when the priest refused it, poor fellow, he threw the mess away and went out into the night and committed suicide. Now the point of difference between these soundtracks, is that these Negro leaders keep the gold to buy houses, lands and automobiles and would sell more Negroes to get more gold to buy more plunder. As a climax, I learn that, after having hartered their trust and prostituted their manhood, I learn that there are some left who, unable to find a purchaser, would dump the race inside overboard and henceforth be known as "Americans." The acme of nonnausea. This reminds me more of childish play than anything that has happened of late. No; the Negro wants no change of name, but he demands a change of conditions. The old Negro is good enough for me. Should any one desire to know who the Negro is tell him that he is a man made in the image of God, just a little lower than the angels, with all of the potentialities of other men. So old that some of them are now before the historian had written his first stroke. The sun of the Negro civilization was shining in all of his splendor before King Tut of Egypt reigned. By the way, where is the Egyptian as a race? Where is the Assyrian, the Moor, the Persian, the Greek, Roman? This man—Negro is almost as mysterious as his God. He was first and shall be among the last. Yes; "Hesed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth." C. R. URQHART Philadelphia, Pa. Native South African Appeals for Nationhood To the Editor of The Negro World: Allow me source in your valuable paper to state how we are placed in the horizons by the council by laws. The best day to be holy to searching native homes, pulling them out of beds, investing men and women for passive beer, teens of native women and men for sentiments every Monday. We have no contempt in these in Christian laws of faithfulness and oppression by the whites. All Negroes are that the whites are, wolves in sheep's clothing, our adversary. With our aid we will come home, children of Ethiopia, to your mother land. We hope and pray to God for the Universal Negro Improvement Association to succeed building up nationality for the recognition of artifice. Your truth.

THE ELECTRICITY A Gary Preacher Accepts Klan Money A A. ends the following news item to the Negro World, and says that Preacher McHenry gives the Klan the privilege of meeting in his Church: "A great deal is being said, about Rev. McHenry, who recently accepted a $800 donation from the K. K. K. for his church. "The Gary Hernitic citizens are up in arms against the reverend. A Gary Sun reporter interviewed Rev. McHenry and he declared that he did not know it was K. K. money until he had spent it. "Whether or not he can make the Gary citizens believe this we do not know. The clergy of his denomination say that the right hand of fellowship must be taken from him, and that he is no longer fit to lead free people." "The Bird Migration Of the Negro" To the Editor of The Negro World: There has always been prejudice and discrimination among races and there always will be as long as different races inhabit the earth. From the very dawn of history tales come down to use of these shiftings among the tribes of the earth. Abraham, with his people, left the land of the Challengers and pitched their tents in Taman. The Children of Israel turned their backs on the land of bondage and from the high lands of Central Asia came wave after wave, sweeping over continents, changing history in their course and breaking at last on the distant coast of the Atlantic. tion of the Negro of the Southland. I do not adobe the Negro to flood the over-crowded cities of the north and east, but they should buy tracts of land in different sectories where the whites are friendly toward them and build Negro cities and concentrate their minds on a national life for Negroes and think in straight lines with the different groups of Negroes all over the universe. When the Negro realizes the value of freedom, when he has fully taken on the spirit of manhood, when he has returned to his motherland, he will stand in the regions of the Nile and kiss the Red, Black and Green, and say, "Africa, my Country, let it be always right, but, right or wrong, My Country." PETER M. EASLEY Chicago, Ill. Author of "Onward Christian Soldiers" Dead LONDON, Jan. 2. The Rev. S. Barrenz-gould, famous author and composer of "Onward, Christian Soldiers," died today. The Rev. Barrenz-gould was born in Exeter, North Devon, England January 25, 1834, the son of Edward and Charlotte Sophia Bond Barrenz-gould. He began his writing at the age of twenty and published works of fiction, history and folklore, as well as travel, religion and mythology. His last book, "A Demon Churchman," appeared last June. He was for many years one of the most influential advocates of the High Church movement, and some of his pamphlets were powerful weapons in the cause. His sermons were equally effective. In 1861 he became curate of Hertford, Yorkshire. Where he wrote his family's living, "Onward Christian Soldiers." When Mr. Bering found wanted to have his now famous Bymn sing in his own church his bishop, who was of the Low Church, objected to the two last lines. "With the cross of Jesus going on before." The author therefore changed the last line to "Left behind the door" which so angered the bishop that he displaced him from his place as vicar. Gledhstone at once presented him with the far better position at East Mersey in Essex. NOTICE TO READERS OF THE NEGRO WORLD Two more pages will be added to this paper commencing with the issue of February 2, 1924.

Mrs. Amy Jacques-Garvey will edit the page devoted to the interests of the women of the Race, and become assistant editor of the paper. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, 1924 History was made here this week, when a group of race financiers headed by W. H. C. Brown, investment banker of Newport, News, Va., and Washington, D. C.; Dr. A. J. Strong, treasurer of Metropolitan Bank of Norfolk, Va., one of the race's largest banks, and Dr. Norman Lassiter, pointen dentist and capitalist of Newport News, Va., from the Tidewater section of Virginia, purchased through sealed bids the entire town of Truxtun, Va. While the exact amount paid for this town could not be learned, it was hinted that the price was around $141,000. Truxtun was owned by the United State Government and was operated through the United States Housing Corporation. It was built by the government during the war to house the colored workers at the navy yard at Portsmouth, Va. The government, in line with its policy of getting rid of its wartime activities, ordered the town, for sale, Sealed bids were received at the office of the Housing Corporation, here Wednesday, January 2. A number of bidders (mostly white) from Norfolk, Portsmouth and the Tidewater section presented their bids. At the time of opening the bids it was found that the only race bidders had topped the list, much to the surprise of the white bidders, who did not entertain the slightest idea that Negroes had enough money (especially since it was a cash proposition) to outbid them. When the bidders assembled Wednesday afternoon to hear the report, the Housing Corporation Committee announced that race men had been awarded the property as the highest bidders. Trustun, Va., was built by the Government exclusively for Negro workers. It is located just over the city line of Portsmouth, Va., within one mile of the U. S. Navy Yard. It is served by the Portsmouth electric line; railroad facilities are furnished by a belt road that connects with all the trunk lines entering Portsmouth and Norfolk. The town is composed of 252 houses all modern; each house consists of five rooms, bath, hot water, electric lights and street sewers. Besides the above, each house has a large front yard for flowers and a back yard for a garden. In addition to the 252 houses already constructed, there are 70 vacant lots. The streets are wide and improved with hard gravel. In the middle of the streets are planted flowers and shrubbery. A modern ten-room brick school building is also, owned by the town. This school building is equipped to meet all community needs, having a spacious auditorium for concerts, picture shows and dances. The school rooms are of the most modern type known. Truxtun is one of the most beautiful spots in the Tidewater section. The town cost the Government over $1,000,000 to build. Of the 253 houses there, 143 have been sold and are now occupied by colored citizens. The syndicate which now takes over these equities and properties, will at once reduce the Government purchase price, ranging from $1,000 to $2,600 by 25 per cent, to these home buyers. All of the 105 unsold houses will immediately be placed on the market on the basis of the game generous reductions. The payment of these houses will not exceed $1 per cent. a month. They have also arranged, at a cost of about $10,000, to paint all the houses constituting the town. It was authoritatively announced here that the new owners plan to develop a regular town and give the race an opportunity to govern itself. While Negro towns are not a new experiment the progress of Truxtus will be watched with interest. It's easier to succeed by honesty than by dishonesty. Farmers Going Bankrupt WASHINGTON.—More than 81/2 per cent. of the farm owners in fifteen corn and wheat states lost their farms between 1920 and the spring of 1923. In addition to these, 15 per cent. of farm owners were insolvent, but permitted to remain on their land through the leniency of creditors. WHO WERE ANCES Mr. Black Man!

HERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY Scientist Makes Wonderful Discovery-Says No Man Under 100 Years Should Feel Old A new discovery is said to have been made by a scientific study of Serbian mountain people, who scientists say live longer than any other people. It is said the discovery should add many years to lives of people in all parts of the world and quickly restore many strength, youthful vigor, grace and beauty lost by neglect or abuse. Scientists agree that the secret of health and vigor lies in the internal glands and if these glands are stimulated and kept in normal activity, man might live forever and all-moose such as tired, worn-out feeling, weakness, inability, saline complexion, loss of weight, poor memory, irritability, scrawy skin, restlessness at night, pain, headache, malaise, depressedness, stiffness and disapper. The difficulty encountered by the medical world has been to find the right navigator for the glands. This new discovery is simple. --- To gain the higher things of life? No; the Negro will never die.

Then, also, examine our funeral customs, and the nonsensical waste of time and money in connection therewith. Now, on examining our family life as a custom, what do we find? The father belongs to one family, and the wife and the children to another. What is more absurd than this? And this, in my opinion, has been one of the contributory causes, if not the night one, of many unhappy homes. And to what sequel does this lead? Very often the father, knowing that, according to custom, the wife and the children do not belong to his family, looks on them with suspicion. Such is the undesirable state of affairs in regard to our family life. Conscience itself revolts at such a thing, what logical reason, therefore, have we to allow such things to go on till the break of doomly? By observation it seems HERE YOUR STORS?

I say this may be a suitable creed for the illiterate and the unintelligent, but surely is no gospel for intelligent, vigorous, and aspirational minds. I have great respect for those of our institutions which do not in effect counteract Christion influences; and these we should retain and encourage. We live in an age in which there is a great demand for the spirit of enquiry and probing into things; no more taking things for granted now at this stage of the world's history. Our young and intelligent citizens must: keep up instructing and acquaint themselves with local problems and conditions; so an enable them to eliminate the essential from the non-essentials. The church; it appears, has been somewhat helpless in coming to the rescue of the country in this and situation of affairs. The state is the mother of the church, and, therefore, what may seem somewhat difficult and impracticable to the child may well be accomplished by the parent. These two are divine institutions for the correction of wrongs and the bettering of human society. I throw the suggestion to the Aborigines Rights Protection Society, and ask respectfully, that the tpocis form part of their discussions at the next conference with our natural rulers. If we must rise and win the admiration of others, as I am sure we are gradually but surely doing, it is proper that we should be making good our set-backs and disabilities which are daily impinging our political, social and moral progress and aspirations. I repeat at this stage of the world's history, nothing is too trifling to merit proper attention. And, allow me to say that very often what we consider unimportant are the most important. Says a learned doctor: "Elementary truths are the hardest of all to learn, unless we Making Good Grow Hair Madame Rhoda, founder Rhoda Beauty College, Nashville, will send world-weary fellows hair, dry, lightning scalp, hair bald- ness, tetter, bandruff, Hate to barbers, hair-dresser, hairstylist, straight- ness, hair dryer, hairdresser, $1.59; grower 60c, Special, $1.00, four- teen, articles, mife, razor, bump lotion, oatmeal, hair dryer, hairdresser, Diplomas to graduates, Pressing combs, witches, wigs, Supplies for sale, Branches, St. Louis, Chicago, Way- cross, West, Missouri Address: MADAME RHODA 130 West 130th Street, N.

This supports the view why we should pay strict attention to elementary as well as principal things, to minor as well as to major questions and problems. Our political aims must not so engross our minds to the detriment of our social questions, they must not take the monopoly in our struggle for advancement, but both our efforts socially and politically must be given equal prominence. While the national Congress of British West Africa is engaged in the noble and unique call of watching our political interest, the Aborigines Rights Protection Society with our Natural Rights may give also our social questions a more serious consideration, and this to my mind will be a right move in the right direction and not until then will there be the full consciousness of a real advancement. $5.00 a Month No Interest 79.00 Redwood From $128.00 New West Indian Rolls and Records Just Received, ALL LATEST HITS: Records 50c.
