No. 7 NEW YORK, SATURDAY, MARCH 29, 1924 PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GRAFTS SEVEN CENTS BLACKWELL TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN 1924 CONVENTION OF NEGROES OF WORLD AT NEW YORK. AUG. 1 TO 3 Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: And now we have come to another turning point in the history of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Our delegates whom we sent to Europe and Africa have returned to us. We sent them there for the purpose of negotiating for the repatriation of those of the race who desire a larger freedom and better opportunities in a country of their own in their fatherland. The delegates have brought back the news that our brothers in Africa are glad to receive us with open arms to assist them in the industrial and commercial building up of the country that they have held intact for years, The Hour Has Come The hour has come for all of us to get together and build up the country of our fathers We want to make Africa a land worthy of the Negro, and so we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are bending our energies and efforts toward a realization of this purpose. The great black republic of Liberia extends a welcome to all industrious and progressive Negroes who desire to help in her industrial development. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, mindful of this, desires to encourage its members and all Negroes to, under proper organized supervision, go to Liberia and there help to improve and develop that great country. Plans are now being laid by which the organization will be able to properly advise and help those who desire to go. No one should undertake of himself or herself to go to Africa without the advice of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. It is necessary that proper arrangements be entered into so that no one would be unprotected in seeking to find a home in the new land. The Association will throw around its members and all members of the race the kind of protection necessary to UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION CALLS UPON NEGROES EVERYWHERE TO PREPARE FOR GREAT CONCLAVE SHIP OF COLONISTS TO SAIL FOR AFRICA TO HELP BUILD UP LIBERIA IN SEPTEMBER EVERYBODY UNITING TO MAKE PROJECT GO enable them to become an asset to the country and to themselves. The Association is now mapping out a proper system of emigration and will hold itself responsible only for those who seek its advice and travel under its auspices. Annual Convention in New York The Association is also preparing to hold its annual convention in New York from the 1st to the 31st of August of the present year. All members and divisions are requested to start out immediately preparing for this great convention. The 1924 convention in New York will be the biggest of all conventions held. An open welcome will be extended to all societies, organizations and churches to take part in this, our forthcoming convention. Subjects of deep interest to the race will be discussed, among them the economic future of the Negro. First Ship to Sail for Africa Arrangements are being made so that the first ship of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company will sail away from New York for Africa on September 1, immediately after the close fo the convention, at which time the firest group of organized colonists will leave for their new homes in Africa. Working Together Let all members and Negroes work toward this end, for it is only by co-operative and concentrative effort can we put over the big program of race improvement and national recla- mations. All divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association should now start out to prepare the membership for a strict application to the program that is now before us-that of a big convention and the carrying out of our emigration plan for the industrial development of Liberia. We want industrious, thrifty and hard-working men and women to go to Liberia; people who are anxious to throw themselves into the plan of developing a country of their own race where railroads and parochial roads are to be built; where streets are to be laid out; where the land must be tilled to produce the crops that are desired in abundance; where the mineral and agricultural resources must be developed for the good of the race; where commercial and other industrial institutions must be developed for the good of the nation and its people. Such is the work that our pioneers are called upon to perform for the good of the black republic. Let us all throw ourselves into it and help the best we can. With very best wishes, I have the honor to be Your obedient servant; MARCUS GARVEY, President-General, Universal Negro Improvement Association New York, March 25, 1924. P. S. Again I have to emphasize that all members and divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are requested to pay in immediately the annual tax which has become overdue. No one, as already stated, will be regarded as entitled to any benefits of the Association or any consideration who has not paid in the annual tax. It is only by members becoming financial with the Parent Body through its division can the Association recognize them and carry on its work for the good of all within the organization. The first duty of each member is to be financial. Get financial now. See to it that your secretary makes you financial on your dues card and writes down your annual assessment tax. M. G.

Hon. N. G. G: Thomas, Second Assistant Setretary-General. + As the sonorous voice of His Lordship, the Primate, intoned the words,“ am the Restirrection and the Life,” the huge congregation rose simultaneously to their feet. Througly the long aisles the procession moved, to halt before the catafalgue placed under: a bower of choice flowers. Gently the pallbearers, officers of the Royal Guards and the African’ Legions, lid thereon their. precious burden. The floral pieces carried hy twenty female members bedecked in white dresses. and of most artistic design, were placed in position, ‘The Colonels of the Legion’ and Royal Guards, with their staffs, stood at guard in honor of the departed Sir Knight, while His Grace intoned “ Lord, Thou hast been Our Dwell- ing Place frori All Generations.” ‘This ended, the choir sang “Nearer My God To Thee," the procession continuing to the platiorm of which was already seated over seventy-five prominetit persons of the race and the Association. The Burial Office of the Universal Negro Ritual, com- piled by Bishop McGuire himseli, was then performed by him. Besides the, petitions for the absolution and repose of the faithful departed chieftain, he made special prayers for the welfare of the Association and the safety and prosperity of its peerless leader, The First Lessoit was read B¥ Very Rev. FA, Toote, and the"Second by Rev. Dr. Bushell of the Baptist Communion, Then followed the grand old hymn, “Jesus. Lover of My Soul,” in which the assembled thousands joined in tribute. “The singing ended, His Grace intoned the Invocation “In the name of the Father, and of the Son, ana of the Holy Ghost, Amex,” and announced as his text for a’brief sermon, 2 Samuel, 3:18, "Know ye not that there is a prigge and great man fallen this day in Israel?” . ‘The Sermon coneluded, Mesdames King and MeLean rendered a duet. “He isnot Dead, but Sleepeth,” and then the Rev. Dr. Carter proceeded | with the official State programme, After the reading of the resulutons and the delivery of an oration by Sir William L. Sherrill, the moment for wliich all had been waiting was arriving. Just preceding that moment, however, the Supreme Deputy and Acting Potentate canie forward to the speaker's stand, and, by the: authority vested in him by the Negro Peoples of the world assembled in| inignational convention, raised Sir Robert Lincoln Poston from the. rank of Knighthood to Prince of Africa, the first of Ethiopia's sons to be thus honored. ‘The moment arrived.

Vicar General, the Actipg Chaplain. | General and his attendant, proceeded from the platform to the catafalque ; on the main floor. As His Grace intoned "Man that is bor1 of a woman| hath but a short time to live,” the military units stood at attention. At! the words “Earth to earth, dust to,dust, ashes to ashes,” six officers of rank, with eréssedl sivords over the casket hidden by the State colors, the | Red, the Black, and the Green, clashed weapons three-times, Taking his’) Crozier in his leit hand, and raising his right hand, His Grace gave. his, blessing to the audience, the choi responding with the Sevenfold Amen. | As the “Dead March in Saul" pealed forth, the Pielates, the President: | General and his Cabinet marched slowly around the open casket and | sadly viewed for the last time the composed features of their fallen! comrade, Ther came the bereaved wiie, brother and close friends, fo! | lowed by the choir and congregation. At the westémn end of, Liberty! Hall, with the high officials standing on either side‘of the President!

Another interesting feature of tonight's meeting was an oral report of the delegation recently returned from a mission to Africa, which was delivered by Hon. Milton Van Lowe, secretary of the delegation. To say that the report was encouraging is putting it mildly, for it far exceeded the fondest hopes of what was expected it would accomplish, and proved a doubt that the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is accepted into by the Africans who are working zealously to put it over, and that the name of Marcus Garvey is as familiar to them as it is to the Negroes of the Western world. Speaking with all the earnestness of assurance which he could, after having been on the spot and seen for himself, Mr. Lowe said that the Universal Negro Improvement Association stands firmer and more certain and positive of its position today than it has ever done in all its history; "I have been, I saw, and I know," said he, "that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is so impregnably positioned that if I were an enemy and were going crazy is the only way that I would try to attack it or say anything against it; because it is too far gone now and it is embedded in the hearts of the people; it has become part of them; so it is just as well for the enemies to quit." The other speakers were Jon, William Sherrill, who spoke on the subject of "The Responsibility of the Western world Negro to the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association," and Hon. Marcus Garvey, who gave an outline of the plans for the drive that is now on for the re-establishment of a steamship line to be conducted under the direction of the association. . SIR WILLIAM SHERRILL'S ADDRESS ST. William Le Van Sherill, second assistant president general, speaking on the subject "The Responsibility of the Western World North to the Program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association," said: There is a tremendous responsibility which rests upon those of us who happen to find ourselves domiciled in the Western World to the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, a responsibility greater than that which rests upon any other group of Negroes domiciled in any other part of the world, a responsibility that the Western World Negro cannot very easily ignore or take lightly, a responsibility which, if shirked by those of us who have come in contact with certain conditions and having lived in a certain environment that enables us to know and see things that the majority of the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world cannot see, which, if shirked, I say, will cause coming generations to curse and damn our very existence. How Responsibility Increases Responsibility, as related to an individual or a group, increases in proportion as the knowledge and experience of that individual or that group increases. To illustrate my meaning, let me do so by bringing to you this. If I call upon one of you at your home and you are sick with some kind of a disease and I attempt to do my best and then go out neglecting to do something which would have, perhaps, saved your life, I would not be responsible for your death. But if I were a physician, having had the experience and the knowledge of medical science and medical practice, and should I go to your bedside and neglect to do that which would save your life, I would be held responsible because my responsibility would have increased with my knowledge and experience in that field. The twenty-five million Negroes in the West Indies and America who have been brought from their homelands, brought to the big house of the white man to speak where he has had an opportunity to come in contact with him, where he has had an opportunity to study him, where he has had an opportunity to become a part of his civilization and learn his way of doing things, the Negro who in the Western World has come in closer contact with this man, that now dominates the world than any other group of Negroes, the Negro who has, by close observation and study, learnt those methods to the extent that he is now able to employ those methods and to use those systems and schemes in his own freedom, upon the shoulders of this Negro rests the greatest responsibility of the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. It is this responsibility that I am anxious that the Negroes of the Western World will see with me tonight. More than three hundred years ago you were brought from your land to the house of the white man. You have been here now more than three hundred years. You have been in close contact with him. You have been in closer contact with him than the majority of Negroes on the great continent of Africa. You have studied his ways and methods, you know his schemes and designs, his way of doing things, you have watched his courage and valor, you have seen how he has raised himself from the lowest depths, how he has started in America with a wilderness and has made a wonderful country. You have seen how he has built for himself monuments of glory. He has set an example. He has taught you not only by precept, but by this example. Upon your shoulders, with this knowledge rests a great responsibility. You having been educated and graduated from the white man's school of "big things"; there now rests upon your shoulders the great responsibility of carrying back to your more unfortunate brothers a programme, formed, perfected and outlined which will free them all. The White Man's Sympathy You have not only learnt the white man's methods, but you have had an added opportunity. You have also been the recipient of his sympathy to the extent that the Negro in the Western world has been enabled to make more economic progress than Negroes domiciled in any other part of the world. The Negro in the Western world has been able through the sympathy of the white man first, to reduce his illiteracy to a lower percentage than that of any group of Negroes domiciled in any other part of the world. He has been able even under the handicaps, even over the obstacles placed in his way to place himself on a high economic basis. The Negro in the Western world has shined the white man's boots and cooked his meals and washed his clothes, until today he has accumulated two billion dollars which is placed to his credit in the various savings banks of the country. I am speaking now particularly of America. He has been able to build hundreds of thousands of homes owned by himself. The Negro in America owns more than six hundred thousand farms, paid for. The Negro in America today, through the sympathy of the white man, has been able to organize more than thirty eight insurance companies which have an annual turnover of millions of dollars. The Negro in America has been able to organize and operate eighty-four banks that have an annual turnover of millions of dollars. He has been able to build up a gigantic economic strength in this country unbound by any other group of Negroes in any other part of the world. Sympathy Does Not Go Far With this enormous amount of financial strength and power comes an increase in this Negro's responsibility to the Negroes in other parts of the world. While we have been able on account of our suffering to enlist the white man's sympathy, sympathy does not get you very far. There is only so far his sympathy will go. There is a breaking-point for his sympathy. It is to that breaking-point that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is trying to direct your gaze, that the Negro in the Western world might see and take advantage of his strength now during this time of unrest, during this time of upheaval, when races and nations, are adjusting new boundary lines, when there is a more attentive ear to the cry of awakened and oppressed people. During this time we are trying to bring to the attention of the Western world Negro the necessity of his realizing the tremendousness of his responsibility and stepping forward in his intellectual strength and his financial strength to help put over the big part of the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Part Western World Negro Must Play part of this construction, of this time we need the Negro of the Western world. Some have asked the question, what it was that Marcus Garvey started his program, or, rather, came to America to carry on the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Some critics have said why didn't he carry his program on in the West Indies. Marcus Garvey came, to the West Indies for the same reason that the Jews came to America to carry on their program for the redemption of Palestine. (Applause.) Marcus Garvey came to America, for the same reason that the Irish people came to America to carry on their program of Irish redemption. The Jews who are fighting for the redemption of Palestine, they are not carrying on their fight so much in Palestine. It is being fought here with the pen, it is being fought here from the platform. The Irish people fought the major part of their program in America with the pen and from the platform. It is because America, great America, offers the largest economic opportunities of any country in the world, not only for black folks but all people. Offers that opportunity to pull over big programs that call not only for big brain and big genius, but which need other stipendous contributions. Realizing that the Negro, especially in America, has been able to accumulate an enormous amount of wealth, realizing that the Negro, especially in the Western world, has had the opportunity of having a very unique experience, has had the opportunity of learning and seeing and coming in contact with what, the majority of our brothers have not come in contact with, there is no more logical spot to carry on such a program than in America, than in this great metropolis. New York city. (Applause.) The 1924 Contribution We are saying tonight, realizing your responsibility, realizing that you have had greater opportunities, realizing that you are able to see now, perhaps, further than your brother; realizing that the propaganda of the Universal Negro Improvement Association can more forcefully be put to you than to the millions of our brethren in the valley of the Nile, in the valley of the Congo and the house of Africa, and realizing that the Negroes of the world, the Negroes in Africa, are looking toward the Western World Negro to lead them out of this chaos and are waiting, willing to follow in whatever direction you lead. It is high time that the Negro in the Western world, and especially that Negro lined up with the Universal Negro Improvement Association, realizes the stupendousness of his responsibility and make up your minds in 1924 that notwithstanding what you did in 1920, notwithstanding what you did in 1921 or 1922 or 1923; that you are lined up with a program that calls for you to do and to do again until the job has been finished, that you will start out in 1924 to see to it that no individual in this great organization takes advantage of any more opportunities to make their contribution, that no individual takes advantage of any more opportunities to write their names in the historical ledger of this great association than you. Renew Allegiance We are appealing to you, those of you who have the privilege, those of you who have the opportunity, night after night to drink in from the very lips of the Hon. Marcus Grevy this glimpse that is thirst after in every part of the world. Those of you who have the privilege of sitting at the foundation head, who know distinctly what the Universal Newer Improvement Association wards and is trying to do, those who are able to see from the depth to the very height of success and fame, we are calling upon you to renew your pledge, to renew your vow, to renew your allegiance to the Universal Negro Improvement Association, realizing that the race is not given to the swift, the race is not given to those who started out running last in 1920 it is not given to those who say "I did in 1921" it is not given to those who say "on the chairs and talk about what they did in 1922." The race is given to those who started out in 1917 and ran through every year and are determined to run on through 1924, 1925, 1926, 1927 and on until the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is put over and the light is brought to the four hundred million Negroes of the world. My appeal to you tonight is to renew your courage, renew your vows. My plea tonight is to renew your allegiance and make up your mind that whatever it takes to carry over your responsibility, whether it be the colonization of Africa or the floating of ships, you will shoulder the responsibility with a determination to do or die. Whatever it takes to carry forward and over this great responsibility which rests upon your shoulders that you will endeavor in spite of hell, in spite of obstacles, in spite of the very legions of the devil himself, that you will continue on in the fight of the Universal Negro Improvement Association until the African has seen the light, until Africa has seen freedom, until the four hundred million Negroes of the world take their places alongside the other great nations of the world. (Applause.) Hon. Marcus Garvey, before introducing the Hon. J. Milton, Van Lowe, secretary of the delegation just returned from Europe and Africa, outlined the 1924 program of the association as related to the starting of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. In order to carry out the colonization plan in the spirit of the concessions, granted the delegation, practically steps, he said, had to be taken to make the venture a success, and among the things necessary were ships and more ships. He then explained in detail the manner in which the necessary capital for the new company would be raised. LADY DAVIS TELLS OF AFRICA Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis, a member of the delegation that was sent to Africa and Europe in the interest of the Negro peoples of the world, made her first public appearance since her return at Liberty Hall, New York Tuesday evening, March 18. A special meeting was convened for the purpose and Liberty Hall was filled to the doors with an audience whose enthusiasm was somewhat chilled by the sad news of the death of the chairman of the delegation, Sir Robert L. Boston Honorable Marcus Garvey, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, presided, and with him on the platform were his wife, Mrs. Amy Jacques-Garvey, officers of the High Executive Council and several distinguished friends and visitors. The chairman introduced Lady Hengtia Vinton Davis to the assembly and called upon her to make her unofficial report, explaining that the official Report would be made to the High Executive Council. Lady Davis, as she went forward to the speakers' stand, was received with By DR. B. S. HERBEN Of the New York Tuberculosis Association A Question All Mothers Ask All mothers are interested in the problem of how to prevent children from catching volks. The first thing to do is to build up a resistance against all infection. This is done by: 1. Getting enough good wholesome food (fruits, vegetables, cereal, butter, eggs and milk, and a little meat) (every day); 2. Sufficient amount of rest in the day and sleep at night. A grown person should average about eight hours a night and children should have at least ten or fourteen hours, and a nap after lunch or *school*. 3. Fresh air in the sleeping rooms is absolutely necessary if the blood is to be kept healthy enough to kill the germs which are unavoidably taken in during the day. Open the windows wide. If you wish, you can pin the blankets over the child's shoulder so as she sees if that he will not kick off the covers and get cold. 1. Sunshine and exercise in the fresh air is essential to good restition. Keep the child out doors all you can. A very important thing of primary education is that the force should be held together with the body should have of heart to bath it’s a week or every day if it be possible. Care of the teeth is the very important because it not only preserves them, but it also helps and the mouth of growth which might remain to start a consultation or “cold.” See that you even and your child’s heads are warm if you’re eating or even tending food. Washing the neck and chest with cold water every morning will help to prevent colds. See to it that your child is kept away from stalk children, and adults. Do not allow him to put fingers, pencils, toys, etc. in his mouth. Under moderate circumstances permit him to put into his mouth an object which has been in the mouth, of any person, even yourself, or the toilet. Do not let a child use an adult’s underwear. Do not let anyone kiss him on the mouth. Avoid people who cough and sneeze without vomiting the mouth with a handkerchief. Continuing sneezing and expectorating improperly are the means of spreading all sorts of infections from colds to pneumonia, tuberculosis, diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles (which has been known to cause the death of 10,000 people in one year), whooping cough, mumps, meningitis, influenza, etc. Teach your son to be careful in such matters and see to it that he grows up with decent habits. Teach him that well people sometimes carry in the nose and mouth germs of dangerous diseases, and can spread sickness and death to others. Mr. Garrett Returns From Southern Trip Mr. John Garrett, formerly superviseing engineer of the Black Star Ling, has just returned from a pleasant trip in the South, especially Placquemine, La., where he visited his mother and other relatives, and reports that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is going strong in that section.

HILL CO. rounds of applause, and after expressing her great pleasure at being once again at Liberty Hall, the cradle of liberty, gave a detailed description of her trip to Africa and of her sojourn there. She spoke in glowing terms of the splendid hospitality accorded the delegation by the people of Africa wherever they went, and nowhere more splendidly than in Monrovia, Liberia. She spoke of the splendid work the association was doing in Africa and of the enthusiasm of all classes for the movement. Africa, she declared, was waiting with outstretched arms to welcome to her fold Negroes of the Western World. A few other happy speeches were delivered by officers of the association, after which the meeting was brought to a close. Lady Davis and Abe Hon. J. Milton van Lowe are now on tour, speaking before other divisions of the association, reporting the success of their work in Africa.

Prof. Keir arranged with Superin- tendent Cook of the Pullman Company to release Ford for the trip, assured the porter he would receive an honor- arium for the lecture and reserved ac- commodations for him at the college inn, which entertains the college's of- ficial guests.

He was a real Negro. He was always Negro. His highest ideals were for the salvation of the Negro race and the redemption of our common country, Africa. For this he lived, for this he worked, and we know for this he died." This is none too high praise, coming from the President of the Association, who had worked in closest relations and sympathy with him and knew him for all that he was—a real man, a real Negro, a devoted worker in the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the uplift and betterment of the condition of the Negro people everywhere and for the redemption of Africa. As a member of the editorial staff of The Negro World, Mr. Poston endeared himself to his fellow-workers by his amiable and genial manners, for he was Chesterfieldian in his conduct always, and by his earnestness and sincerity. He was a radical of the radicals in his attitude towards the white man's government and religion, not only in the United States but everywhere, and he has faith in neither the white man, his government nor his religion, and he wrote as he thought, as the readers of The Negro World will readily recall. In his short life of thirty-four years he so labored to write his name indelibly in the history of the Negro race and be honored in his death as a Prince of Ethiopia who in his life had been one of the noblest of the Knights Commander of the Order of the Nile. As long as the Negro race can father such men as Robert Lincoln Poston we need not despair of the highest service and greatest achievements for race unity and redemption possible in human aspiration and hope. His brilliant life of service and achievement emphasizes the thought of the poet, which should lift us all in our strivings for the higher and better things in living, that "Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time." TS ANSWERED THE TRUMPE March 16, will long be memorable in reral Negro Improvement Association, with a strong suggestion of snow in t THE HOSTS ANSWERED THE TRUMPET CALL SUNDAY, March 16, will long be memorable in the annals of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. It was a raw, bleak day, with a strong suggestion of snow in the air, but the hosts of the association answered the trumpet call from far and near, quite filling the massive Madison Square Garden, all full of the enthusiasm of loyalty which is a marked characteristic of the membership of the association. Where else in Negro organization will you find the like loyalty and enthusiasm, the like singleness of devotion to the association and the chief of it, and the like disposition to serve and to sacrifice that the purposes of the organization may be exalted and advanced? Tell it not in wrath; publish it not in the streets of a skeleton. The person who failed to be one of the Madison Square Garden hosts, and to witness the wonderful gathering of the people, and to listen to the addresses and the sermons and the music, and to be inspired and enthused by it all, missed what may not be possible to him again as an opportunity. And those who were there will not forget it; it will always be to them an occasion to be remembered. What a precious thing it is to have a cause to rally around which is world-embracing in human interest! What a precious thing it is to have a leader who has but to speak the word and the hosts gather at the sound of his voice! Only those who possess these things know how precious they are and how like "a man, the noblest work of God," they make him feel. DISCONTENT AMONG BRITISH COLONIALS THERE is so much discontent with civil and economic conditions in the British colonies, in the West Indies, in Africa, in Asia, among the natives as to lead to the conclusion that, as far as the natives are concerned, British rule has reached the parting of the ways. In all of the colonies the natives outnumber the white residents so disproportionately as to make them quite negligible except for purposes of office-holding at high salaries which the natives pay, with but small voice as, to the tax levies, and for protecting British business men and planters at the expense of native producers and consumers, whom they exploit without conscience, and who have no protection and redress in the courts. The economic distress is so great in British Honduras, Jamaica and St. Kitts, we judge from our newspaper exchanges, that the workers, the wage-earners, who can get away and find employment in other parts are doing so, but they are doing so with the opposition of the colonial government, which imposes a heavy tax on those who leave, together with a quarantine tax for those who go to Cuba, and are given to understand that they will not have the protection of the British consuls in the places where they ge. We have many letters from West Indians in Cuba who complain of the lack of protection by their request to which they should be entitled when aboard by Cuban officials and planners, and, if the facts are as alleged, it is Very discreditable to the British Government that such abuses exist, as well as the fees required of laborers on leaving the Island and for quarantine charges when they have reached Cuba, the quarantine accommodations, it is alleged, being breeding places of sickness and death. In Africa, not only are the natives, especially in South Africa, crying out lustily against oppressive administration and taxation and restrictions on personal rights which amount to a form of slavery, but white and black workers alike are laboring for a mutual understanding by which they may receive better wages and living conditions. The outspoken stand of the Johannesburg International, the organ of the Communist Party, for a mutual understanding and co-operation of black and white workers, is taking firm root in the Union of South Africa and spreading among the natives not in the Union. Premier Jan Christian Smuts, who sees white without blinking, may yet be made to recede from his inhuman position that the black natives of the Union are good only to rule and tax, while the white mine owners and planters are protected in the right to enslave and rob the workers of both races. It amounts to that. The natives are being aroused to the fact not only by their own labor leaders and editors, but by the insistent and vitriolic preachments of the International and The Negro World. In East India the civil and economic distress of the people is so great that the atmosphere is surcharged with revolutionary possibilities. All the factions, of which that of Gandhi is the most numerous, if not the most aggressive, are moving towards the same point of understanding, driven by common grievances, where the British Government will have to give the people a larger voice in determining their own affairs or face revolution. This rapid survey shows that discontent among British colonials is co-extensive with the British Commonwealth of Nations, and is based on the same grievances, making a common cause for all those concerned, and a concert of action that would affect in one way and another a very large part of the peoples of the globe. We believe that the Negro and off-color subjects of Great Britain are moving towards this crisis, as they are convinced that the British Government has no respect for them as persons, and therefore denies them the least possible self-determination in the government of their affairs. An international convention of these dissatisfied British colonials is something that may be expected in the future. It is needed. THE LOWEST FORM OF JOURNALISM VERY few readers of a newspaper have any idea of the labor it requires to plod through a hundred or more articles and select from the mass the few that can be accepted and published. And the editor of The Negro World has a special liking for the reader way off yonder who has a thought he thinks would be of general interest and takes the time and patience to write it out and send it to us for publication. We may not be able to publish it; there may be something about the thought or the composition of it that makes it unavailable, but we sympathize with the writer of it none the less and grieve because we cannot use it. We are as much disappointed about it as he is, but he does not think so, perhaps, and often thinks, unjustly, that we have shut him out for every reason except the ones we have stated. We have a similar weakness for our exchanges. We like to see what the bright editors of bright Negro newspapers are thinking and writing about. We often read through a hundred newspapers and find only a baker's dozen sentiments worth reproducing in The Negro World. Sometimes it requires as much as a whole day to cull so many items for our column, "Editorial Qpinjons of the Negro Press." It was that way with the batch that we published in The Negro World of March 8. We were much surprised and taken back on turning to the editorial page of the Amsterdam News, of March 19, to find that the lazy editor of that newspaper had taken bodily our gleanings, under the heading, "Expressions by Contemporaries," and given the "Thanks to the Indianapolis Ledger," one of the race newspapers we do not have on our exchange list. Which is responsible for the theft and mix-up of credits, the Indianapolis Ledger or the New York Amsterdam News? If the Ledger is responsible, the fact remains that both editors are too lazy to read and cull the bright things from their contemporaries, and a lazy editor is in a class by hignself, as the slowly person is. If the New York Amsterdam News is responsible, it shows that the editor is not only too lazy to read his exchanges, but that he does not read The Negro World, which would be a reflection upon his intelligence unthinkable. Anyhow, the lowest form of journalism is that which takes the good news and opinion of its contemporaries and neglects to give them credit, or deliberately makes a mistake in the credit by giving it to those to whom it does not belong. The Indianapolis Ledger and the New York Amsterdam News owe The Negro World an explanation and apology. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS We submit that agitation and protestation are not pleasant tasks, but there are times when this uninviting work is a necessity, and it should be faced unflinchingly—Portland Advocate. The Negroes of Columbia must awaken to the need of the hour. It is time to lay aside all petty jealousies and pull for a bigger and better understanding among us. There is no reason that we should not have one big department store, two or three good reliable banks, and other business places which could be run on a profitable basis and pay dividends to the investors. We have never gotten to the place where our business capacity is so developed that we could conduct a business that, aside from making places for our boys and girls, pays dividends to the investors—Columbia (S. C.) Standard. The Negro Sanhodrin has met and those who constituted the initial gathering have tried hard to find a reason to continue the meetings each year. Just what phase of our existing conditions this particular organization will take charge of remains to be seen.—Newport News Star. —We have not been better than other people in the past and we are not better now. To be as good as other people in all that makes for Christian manhood and womanhood should be the aim of all of our strivings. We shall always fall down when we fall below the highest standards of living, judged by the best people in our community. There are only two courses in morals—the best leads to life and happiness while we are here as citizens, and the worst leads to death and unhappiness while we yet live.—Norfolk Journal and Guide. —The sentiment as seen at Atlanta at the Bishops' Council and Connectional Council is that we are sold for the church. No one man, whether bishop, general officer or layman, is sufficiently strong to break the ranks of the African Methodist Church, and no one evil is sufficiently great to cause in the church any great dissatisfaction. While there is a greater discussion now than ever before, this merely indicates a greater interest than ever before. But the rank and file from the bishopric down through the ministry to the humblest member is stronger for the church than any day since the days, of Richard Allen.—Christian Recorder. —Murder was never more popular in the world than it is today and still we say that we are more civilized now than ever before. Something is wrong with our civilization—must be. Murder of the most horrible kind is read of in almost every paper that comes into one's hands. It seems that there is no way to check it. No one has been able to put over that "Thou shalt not kill" program. Some man some day may be found who will accuse the nations of the world in the extent that they will writhe and put a stop to the taking of those lives that none can give back again. The sooner this is done the better it will be for all of us. We do not like to be going about not knowing what moment we may be shot down by some person who thirsts for our blood when we have done no wrong—Tampa Bulletin. DOGS AND MIGROES NOT ALLOWED IN SOUTHERN PARKS By T. Thomas Fortune In all of the large cities of the Southern States parks are maintained at public expense and for the benefit and enjoyment of citizens, just as they are in the Northern and Western States; but in the South the privileges of the parks are restricted to white citizens and those who think they are white and can "pass" as such. Negroes are not supposed to enter these parks, except as park laborers or-as servants in charge of white children. Once; a long time ago, when in Knoxville, I read a sign at the entrance of one of the largest of the parks of the city, as follows: "Dogs and Negroes Not Allowed." I confess the sign jarred ne. It was told me, when I was in Memphis some three years ago, that there were some thirteen public parks in the city maintained by the tax-payers, many thousands of whom are not white, but that Negroes were not allowed in them except as laborers and servants. I found this to be true also in Atlanta, when I was there many year ago, and I suppose there has been no change, as race prejudice and segregation have grown in bulk and venom in the Southern States during the past two decades, and I have a mind that it has done the same thing in the States outside the Southern group, but not in as mallgrant form. A Negro living of traveling in any part of the South has a hard time of it to keep his temper and self-respect on good terms with each other. The chances are always in favor of his losing the one or the other. The Norfolk Journal and Guide is calling attention to the fact that the large Negro people of that city are not expected to avail themselves of the advantages of the City Park, as it is set aside for "white folks only," and that, unless the city fathers supply the deficiency soon, one-third of the city's citizens and tax-payers "will go through another season of scorching days and sultry nights without the much-needed breathing space—a recreation center." The like lamentation could go up from all of the large cities of the South. It is a crying shame, from which there is no appeal. The victims will have to grim and bear it until "time makes ancient wrong uncouth." How long will that be? That is an easier question to ask than to answer. I have found that white people are very sensitive about their "immunities and privileges," but are often utterly regardless of those of others. And that may be their undoing, as it is contrary to the law of their Spiritual Lord, which they are not only guilty of in their own lands and tongues, but which they are striving to hitch upon Africans and Asiatics in their lands and tongues. It is easier to escape the laws of man than the laws of the Spirit, but no white Christian or white Christian nation allows that fact to stand between them and any wrong they may care to do, their neighbor, who may possess that they desire of things spiritual or material. But, at stated times, the Spirit makes them pay, even though they may not be conscious of paying. But Negroes do not have to be discouraged anywhere. Discouragement leads to death, not life. Let us continue to fight for what belongs to us in the places where we are, which we should enjoy in common with others in the like citizenship and time and place, and in Africa, which the white man has invaded and where he has established in some parts his sor. of overlordship, which guarantees him everything and the Negro nothing. It is a one-sided arrangement, which pleases the white man, but I think he is traveling for a fall, especially in Africa, which is beginning to wake up from the slumber of the double night of ages. "Dogs and Negroes Not Allowed!" We shall see about that as we go along towards God's Even. Ohio Negro Klan Organizes As Loyal Legion of Lincoln YOUNGSTOWN, O. March 21.—Ku Klux Klan leaders here hold the belief today that a "Negro Klan" which celebrated its organization here last night with the burning of a fiery "L" is the first one of its kind to be formed in the country. The organization is known as the "Loyal Legion of Lincoln." A Negro, who said he was the Rev. Paul Russell, D. D., of Atlanta, Ga., has charge of the organization. In an address he said Lincoln, who freed the Slaughter, was a Protestant, and so the organization would use Lincoln's name. THE Universal Negro Improvement Association advocates the uniting and blending of all Negroes into one strong healthy race. It is against miscegenation and race suicide. It believes 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. BRITISH MISSIONARIES WORKING IN JAMAICA Native Correspondent Thinks They Should Rather Be Doing Missionary Work at Home-A Cool Reception From Masses At this present moment our island is infested by a company of six missionaries of the Church of England Society, who have been invited down to Jamaica to help revive the last interest in our white brothers Christianity. Some of us have gone to those missionary meetings and have satisfied ourselves that this missionary babble is one of propaganda to keep the Negro in his place. This is a rather quiet old English fashion to deluge a discontented people with Bibles, hymn books and missionaries. This is just the case with Jamaica today. We need no missionaries. In fact, we are more interested in Christianizing than most of our missionaries, who have always proven to be moneyhunters and propagandists to assist the British Government to keep the Negro "in his place." There is no absence of that policy in our present intruders. They never fall to extol the virtues of the British Empire, and advise their hearers to help maintain the dignity of the Empire. They do not preach the "brotherhood of man," that brotherhood that would make us (the Negro) their equal, or would give us an opportunity to rise to the greatest heights in the Colonial service. Not; it is just the same old story, in the dry old fashion of a love which they prefer to give away than to keep. At one church the preacher, as the service ended, went to the door to shake hands with all his hearers. Another English "dope." But it did not work. Why? The Jamaican Negro knows that he can't trust his white brother He views him with suspicion. He says it is winter in England and these would-be tourists could not pay their way to the West Indies and keep themselves, so they come as missionaries. Our people know that, and act wisely; viz: There was no time that our outdoor political meeting was so well attended as on Wednesday night last, when the Rev. (Everything) from England was at the Kingston Purlin Church nearby preaching for all he was worth. That shows the spirit of the new Negro here. We delight in the "Fatherhood of God," but we equally delight in the "brotherhood of man." Our white preachers, and some Negroes, too, preach the former, but they give no consideration to the latter. Why is it so? The reason is not far to seek. The West Indian and other Colonial Negroes must be kept in servitude so as to allow Mr. Anything (white) to come down and set the softest jobs at fancy prices. They say that God cursed us at the flood and we should not be aspiring, but Hon. Marcus Garvey and the U.N. I. A. have so knocked the flood curse theory to pieces that they do not know how to start again. The Negro who thinks right knows that he has no hope to be a real man in a British Colony. He knows that Livingstone and the rest suffered, labored and died, in Africa and other countries so as to provide jobs for their ever increasing white posterity, at from $1,500 to $125,000 annually. He knows that, and he is prepared to assist in establishing for himself a government of Negroes in Africa where he will have the chance of rising to the heights of his ambition. We have not that chance in Jamaica. Our present assistant attorney general, a negro, is the best authority on Jamaican laws, yet our attorney general is many times his inferior, but he is white. I could quote many other instances of the same nature, but space would not allow. We are certainly not such "good niggers," and our missionary brothers know that, too. They don't have to be told that we are discontented; they see it just by looking. Our voices are being heard in every corner. Even in our local parliament, yesterday. Hon Marcus Garvey's name was to be heard Missionaries can neither soothe our sorrows or heal our wounds. Our English brothers might as well know that we want expansion for our rising and ever increasing intellectuality. We want relief from hunger and poverty, and we want the big jobs, too, for we have to pay the taxes. In the missionaries' days we kept both eyes on heaven and "watched and prayed," but today we keep our eyes on the things material and just "work and pray." Negroes all over the world should shape their own destiny. But no confidence in missionaries who would be better employed curing the vices of their own homes, but take up the African cause from an African viewpoint and bring to realization for the blessing of a down-trodden race the complete emancipation of the Negro race and actual emption of Africa. If our missionaries will in future come to help us to be a happy issue of our afflictions, let them come, but if they come to pilot us to heaven, they'd better stay at home, for all Negroes can pilot the way safely. I am yours for Africa's cause. Chas. D. Johnson, 82 Oxford St., Kingston, Jamaica. British West Indies. March 7, 1824. Must Learn to Value The Jobs to Keep Them Negroes of this country cannot be told with too much emphasis of the importance of settling down to business everywhere and in every capacity. For many years before the world war we were competing with cheap labor from across the seas. Indeed, it may be said that we could not compete. Foreign labor took the market and held it because the American Negro could not live up to American standards on the same daily wage the foreigner was pleased to accept. But the war brought a change. The doors of American have been closed to indiscriminate immigration from European countries. It is well for the American Negro that the doors have been closed. We say "well" with the proviso that the Negro accept the opportunity offered him by the closed gates at our many ports of entrance. American industries need us, and we need the industries. Our great host of laborers must have work. The industries must be kept going. Negroes are expected to keep them going. The opportunity is at hand. Work is plentiful everywhere. The man without a job now is the man who spends his time evading work. Let us go to the machinery of the country and take hold of it. Let us give to the mills, the industries, the factories—every plant that gives us employment a full time card showing efficient service. Let us work every day, not every third day. Let us return to the job after pay-day, and the fourth day after pay-day. The work is sure for the asking. Let us mean the machinery of the country and make ourselves the best type of labor in earth.

John J. Davis Secretary, releases the following summary of findings of the report of Federal Commission to the Virgin Islands, consisting of George H. Woodson, Iowa; Cornelius R. Richardson, Indiana; Charles E. Mitchell, West Virginia; W. H. C. Brown, Virginia; Jefferson S. Coage, Delaware. Location: 40 miles east of Porto Rico; 1,440 south of New York City; 1,025 northeast of Panama Canal. Area of three largest inhabited islands, 132 square miles. Population—26,000 (Colored 24,100; White 1,900); density 200 per square mile. Education compulsory between 7 and 13. Attendance, average, 3,000—or over 28 per cent of possible attendance. Illiteracy less than two per cent. Language is English. Water supply depends on rainfall caught in cisterns. General health compares favorably with Southern States rural districts. No epidemics. Birth rate 32 and death rate 25½ per thousand. Climatic conditions with a minimum of 65 degrees and maximum 92 degrees insures low cost of living in way of clothing, housing, and food fat. Trade winds prevail.

Fosse year 1921-22; exports, $764,729; imports, $1,836,567. Total, $2,581,296. This marked loss of trade is largely due to our general policy of treating the Islands only as an outpost of defense for Panama Canal. Federal prohibition which crippled the bay rum industry of the Islands. Serious droughts which almost eliminated crops last three years. St. Thomas, although one of the finest ports in the West Indies or the world, is no longer used as a port of call by the steamship lines using the Panama Canal and sailing to and from Atlantic ports of South America. This combination of conditions creates an appalling large per cent of unemployment and already evidences of under nourishment are apparent. Leading industries: sugar cane, 12- 000 acres; cotton, 2,000 acres; grasses Over 5000 Cans Sold Every Day! Just think of that-Over five thousand packages sold every day and the demand getting bigger and bigger all the time for HAIR DRESSING This is because Pluko Hair Dressing not only makes the hair long, straight, silky and beautiful, but also perfumes the hair, makes it easy to dress in any style wanted, and makes it stay that way. No expense is spared in getting the finest perfume for Pluko Hair Dressing because it is made ESPECIALLY for MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE LEADERS—Men and women who are willing to pay any price for the best, knowing that their appearance has a great deal to do with their success. If you want your hair to be long and beautiful and look its best, start using Pluko bait); including fishing, hunting, trapping, fish for human feeding (with thereby our own available). Woman's occupation is 50 to 60 cents per day; fishing is frequent; dealing vices, 50 per hour, 80 cents per day, and only two days per week. Shooting of worms. Large one-room house with occasional lean-to kitchen. Food of worms largely "Fungus" (a means of corn meal and fish). Cost of living as per above outlined conditions is naturally very low, but unless something is done to improve the opportunity for work these people must migrate to avoid sliding to an economic level abbreviated to our American ideals. Native population is clean, bright, general, peaceful, intelligent; 88 per cent can read, and write! honest and very polite. Very little crime, and that largely in the seaport town. Recommendations: Installation of a water supply and irrigation system to meet agricultural and domestic needs. Rainfall generally, ample if conserved. This will insure more regular employment as well as more and better home grown food supplies. Restoration of St. Thomas as a port of call with the same right of foreign vessels to seal their wine, etc., lockers as when passing through the Panama Canal. Develop water supply to meet needs of all ships. Institute a study of preparation of bay rum that will restore its market standing without violating our Prohibition laws. The Bureau of Standards of the Department of Commerce could materially help in this study, as well as that of the Bureau of Chemistry of the Department of Agriculture. While the native population through their long custom of "Consentual Marriages" are as moral as any in the West Indies, yet it is very advisable that all marriages should conform to our standards of marital relations. It is not fair to these people to classify their children from "Consentual Marriages" as illicitimate in the broad sense that we often use the term. The fact that over two-thirds of the children are the product, of these "Consentual Marriages" shows the necessity from some education in the moral code of our American standards. As an aid to the development of the preceding ideal of American standards we strongly urge that a system be arranged between the public schools of the Virgin Islands and the leading Colored colleges in the United States for an exhange of teachers and scholarships for Island students of from one to one hundred each year in order that the educational systeming be stimulated and true American ideas and ideals be assimilated and encouraged on the Islands as well as on the mainland of the United States. The citizen status of the inhabitants of the Virgin Islands should be cleared up, as much confusion now prevails over the different interpretations of the following supposed guarantee quoted from the Purchase Treaty with Denmark, proclaimed January 25, 1917. Sec. 6: Those who remain in the Islands may preserve their citizenship in Denmark by making before a court of record, within one year from the date of the exchange of ratifications of this convention, a declaration of their decision to preserve such citizenship; in default of which declaration they shall be held to have renounced it, and to have accepted citizenship in the United States." We suggest that the Department of Commerce make a special study of the manufacturing and commercial possibilities, and the Department of Agriculture of agricultural possibilities, so that these people can feel that their homeland under our Government is receiving a living consideration other BLACK AND WHITE PRICE 40 CENTS Pluko WHITE HAIR DRESSING FORMERLY BLACK AND WHITE Makes The Hair Grow Long Soft and Glossy, Removes Dandruff.

We especially support that this historic think of the Governor are related well to more kindling than the shorter and more memorable sequel in office. (Not) Steven Gopershak in about three points. Perusal of value of longer service is obvious that under the Governorship of present incumbent who although he has held office only four months, yet has brought about several changes of material benefit to the better well-being of the people on these islands. Seasonal labor competitions from adjacent alien islands deserves immediate consideration, as it generally interferes with the limited opportunities available to the natives, and largely explains the extremely low standard of wages. Lastly, we respectfully suggest that the resolution passed by the joint session of the Colonial Council of the Virgin Islands and approved by Governor Phillip Williams on the 15th day of February, 1824, deserves the serious investigation and consideration of the Congress of the United States and the departments of the Government which more or less handle such problems. Persian Republic Ends; Infant Named as Shah LONDON, Maych 23.—The Persian Parliament has abandoned the idea of a republic, but, has deposed the Shah and has decided to install his infant son on the throne, according to a Teheran dispatch to the Daily Mall. The new Shah is two years old, and a regent will be appointed to act during his minority. Sultan Ahmed Mirza, Shah of Persia, succeeded his father, who abdicated in 1809. He has been living in Paris, and much antagonism to him developed because of his long absence from his own country. Recently the Crown Prince moved from the palace to a residence outside of Teheran.

C. The system of the administration of northern Tangshan is military. I cannot say whether that of the southern is civil. Then, for 29 years Togland has been continuously ruled by militarism, first by the Germans, for 30 years, and the French now for nine years. Forced labor has always been associated with the north and its introduction to the south is a little over a decade. The German-African soldier in his day was a terror in these parts, but the French soldier is a god, that must be adored. In addition to the existing chiefs, the Obaros, the French created a large number of them. Accordingly, a whole district is divided and sub-divided and within a radius of a mile circumference as many as ten or more dandas and policemen are posted in almost every cottage or village and attached to the local Obaro or Chief. The dandas need to be in no particular uniform. The fax answers for all. But, if he is fortunate, he may enhance his position by letting himself in either a frock coat, evening dress, morning coat or ringed jacket. No one is particular about the kind of trousers to be worn as the French are not particular to solve the problem of police uniform at headquarters. It is a case of any cry doing for the burial. The business of the dandas is to be ready at all times to get the number of men required by the government—and to get food, water, and wood supplied to the dandas from headquarters and the soldiers who frequently visit these parts. The local dandas receives no pay. The title is sufficient in lieu of remuneration. But a strict order has recently been passed, that no chief or dandas should receive any presents from his people and one of the former is already in goal for transgressing the law. All the chiefs and a number of the dandas maintain horses. As I have said, the whole north is a government department, but the servants are paid nothing. The chiefs, however, at the end of the year receive certain percentages on the taxes collected. The highest I know paid to a chief was £30 and another £6, others lower, according to taxes collected in a district. "EGYPTIAN SECRETS" for Man and Beast by Albertus Magnus.

So in the readjustment of nations and peoples. A Hebrew must bring the Hebrews out of Egyptian bondage. A Man, even "the Son of Man," must bring salvation to man. And Africans must save and redeem Africa. Ye men of Ethiop's lineage true, Who dwell 'neath Africa's skies of blue Where balmy sunshine fills the air With tropic-scented perfumes rare! You tell this verdant fecund soil, As free men live, as free men toll, In thankfulness for heaven's dowr That bless our land with fruit and Your father's God gave you this land! And shall you not with mighty hand Redeem the heritage they gave Or fill a patriot-warrior's grave? Arm Afric's men for freedom fight! For know you battle for the right! And if your fall in Freedom's name, You'll reap a warrior's deathless fame. And children's children shall behold Your deeds in shining letters told. O Thou who spread's at the desert sands To mark the bounds of Ethiop's lands! Whose emblem is the vulture bold, Whose throne the purple realms of gold. Great Bundu! In Thine august might We call upon Thine ancient name. Now, then and evermore the same! When Re thy sacred honor loved. Her throne oer nations ruled unmoved; For then Thy temples decked the land— And Ethiopia's pillars stand As witness to the rule she bore. As tokens to her pride of yore. But, when their kings forsook Thy shrine, And called on other aid but Thine, Thou madst them as an easy prey To nations not so strong as they. Return Great Bundu! We implore Thy name, and at Thy shrine adore! Great Bundu, come! Thy people walt Thy blessings, and the nation's fate! The ancient gifts which Thou dost love See! Great Creator, from above Lie on Thy smouldering altar now. And all around Thy votaries bow! Then hasten, Lord, to Salem's King! Accept the three-fold gifts we bring! And grant Thy worshippers the power To view Thy presence in this hour! I slay the sacrifice of blood! Implore Thee for Thy people's good! And in Thy nine-fold holy name Invoke Thine oracle again. When Kasper went from Africa's land To Journey o'er Indie's sand, The guiding star that shone on high Was kindled first 'neath Mulian's sky. The holy light o'er Christus' head Was by her Magi's wisdom fed; Whose cryptic scrolls and cloistered word Did him a heavenly power afford. Metchizidek the Priest of God— He who with Salem's glory shod. Revealed to quick discerning cars. The secret tale of endless years— By Midian's mettle altars wrought The truths sublime, by just men rought. sought. But they forsook the ways of God. And on the law of justice trod. The poor and weak they did oppress And gloried in unrighteousness. Then brother's blood to brother cried And lo! 'no answering voice replied; For clothed in jewelled raiment fine. Puffed up with power and drunk with wine. They built their towers up on high With proud intent to climb the sky And league with powers of the air To storm the Courts of Heaven fair. They trapped on God's Holy Name And mocked at Bindu's sacred fame. See now where Karnak's glory shone— The vulture's nest in grumbling stone! Where Ethiopa's pillars stood The baleful cubra spawns her brood! Kuch, Thebes, Midian—a name! And for the evil they had done Their hearts were made as like to stone; Their blinded vision velled from sight The horror of the coming night. Which swept like Moloch's thund'ring car Upon the wings of stained war. With souls begirl with bands of brass. Till seven times should oer them pass. He drove them from the haunts of men. Beyond the pale of human ken. Like plowing ox and lowing kine. Because they mocked the Power Divine. Exiled 'mongst stranger peoples now, Their proud sons to injustice bow. And bigot men who dread their power Oppress them in their fallen hour. The charlots of the mighty now Ride high o'er Ethiop's prostrate brow And clouds of darkness compass them; And, dwelling by the tents of Shem, With bodies wet with heaven's dew. They drink the gall, and bitter rue. For centuries you've borne the cross For Christian nations reaping dross; For centuries their thorny crown Your torn and bleeding brow pressed down. And nails of mockery and pride Have Christians driven in your side. But, like a great refining fire Purges the gold from filth and mire. Thy chastened soul, O Ethiop great, Undaunted by thy impious fate, Shall in its crescent glory rise Resplendent on the starry skies. And, burning like a meteor's glare, Shall write: thy nation's glory there. Then, mighty as the days of yore, From Saba to the Great Sea's shore, Shall Crescent Flag of Ethiop wave O'er your oppr asor's silent grave! And long as the sun flames in the sky. Or faunts the prophet's flag on high The Christian nations shall not apoll Great Ethiopia's sacred soil! Wake, for the lust of nations now Has writ the doom upon their brow! Mercy and Truth forsook the land, And Greed at Justice's altar stand! Strike! For your presaged day has come! Strike! 'Tis the crumbling nations' doom! doom! Best not content beneath their feet. Feeding on crucigs of stark-deceit! Wake, mighty men of Ethiop's line. Nor grovel in the mire like swine! For hell no loathsome soul contains More bans than the slave who hugs his chains! Once more on Midian's sacred god Shall men invoke the Living God; Ohe more the earth shall hear your tread. By mighty kings and captain's led; And when the new-born crescent moon Spreads o'er the field her silvery shoon The muzzin's call shall girl the land, And Afrie's sons, a numrous band, Shall worship, as they did of yore. By Saba's sacred sunlit shore. The Mighty God's stretched out right hand Rida Ethiopia's children stand; And ye shall rule in righteousness— With Truth and Right the people bless. The richahkah not oppress the poor, But each, as each, from bourseous 1006 Shall share the goodness of the land And bless a Just Creator's hand! From savage war's accursed decree Your righteous nation shall be free. And Ethiopia's remnant hand Shall build, with highness. Shall build a highway through the land. A jewelled land...of joyous ways. A golden age of ancient days; For on the palm of God's right hand Their graven names eternal stand! Ye shall not sow while others reap. Nor tell building where others keep; Nor shall you need the sun's bright ray. To open the radiant gates of day; For softened clouds of dew and rain shall create your pregnant fields with grain. And golden domes and jeweled spires shall light your land with living fire. Oh, Golden Karnak, excellent name, where Ethiopia's kings enshrined their fame. Thy lions-columned temples rise like gorgeous spires of Paradise. Thy seas and daughters love thee still—Each marmalad plain, each verdant hill. To them thy moonbeams seem to shine With radiance more than half divine. For God has decreed, and He cannot lie "From behind the rivers of Ethiopia my suppilants, even the daughters of my dispersed shall bring mine offering." And then "Ethiopia shall haste to stretch forth her hands unto God, and kings and princes shall come out of Egypt." ZAGLOUL PASHA By ETHEL TREW DUNLAP Too long Egypt's hosts have been sleeping. Too long have her innocent wept. While allens dishonor were raeping. And justice, dishonored, has slept. The Empire that rules like a Nero. Has roused Egypt's martyrs to wake. And kindled the rest of the heroes. The noise shall continue for some Who ne'er shall their country forsake. The tyrant would tremble, retreating— And desert would "bloom like a rose." The servile peace base bondage offers Is worse than a snake in the grass; It fills up the proud despot's coffers And brings her inad dreams all to pass. On, on Zagloul Pasha, grand hero! Thy way shall be freedom's alone! Better to leave with a Nero Thy blood than pawn freedom's throne! What thio an exile's lot pained thee? What tho an Empire grim frown? The biroling's gold never has stained thee Nor cast thine ideals high down! The path that you pass, ne'of forgotten By hearts patriotic and true. Shall bloom (when fruits tyrants grow rotten). Renewing fond memories of you! 733 Ramsay at., Watts, Calif.

THE BENEMAGO STUDIOS 112 Fifth Avenue, Bldg. 168, New York To the Editor of The Negro World: We in Cincinnati have received a new thrill. It came upon us when we read "Race Leadership," the new book by Dr. A. H. Maloney, professor of psychology at Wilberforce University. It is no small maitar to describe the particular thrill we received for, like all thrills, it is something that can only be appreciated by the mind. The least we can say is that "Race Leadership" filled us with a new courage and a new resolve to fight on in the war for justice for the Negro race. In attempting to do justice to this outstanding work of one of our eminent leaders, we will refrain from committing the error of the average reader of books who tries to express an opinion on the work he has read. We will quote little and opine much. To begin with, the book is delightfully free from the monotonous and useless axioms with which the serious modern writers, especially political economists, scourge their patient readers. To even a casual reader it becomes at once apparent that Dr. Maloney is anything but doubtful about his own race and class consciousness. In this connection, it would be well to caution the prospective readers of "Race Leadership" that "class" and "race-consciousness" lose their everyday significance as a result of Dr. Maloney's treatment. The terms become almost interchangeable in this work, and after reading the book, one feels like broadcasting the news that here at least is one of the higher race types who does not dissect hairs in discussing injustices committed against the race by the mechanistic "superior Nordics." One feels this keenly in the chapter, "The Cry for a Larger Life," where the author fairly shouts; "I love life." I would hold on to it with all tenacity. And when I find my life being attacked, I want all the old that all the healing arts and sciences can give. I don't care whence comes the desired boon; from the old school, the new school, or no school at all. All I want is life. And what I want for myself, I want for my race. I want for my race the more abundant life, here, there and everywhere. That is the meaning of the cry, "Africa for Africans; those at home and those abroad!" Although we promised not to quote much and leave the reader to enjoy the full flavor of this refreshing little book, we will take the liberty of quoting the paragraph in which this virile race leader shows us that he fully realizes the lessons of history, and is prepared to accept the responsibilities that the practice of such knowledge would bring. "Nowhere in the history of the world," declares Dr. Maloney, "is there an instance to be found where the stubborn persistence of a dominant group in its disregard of the basic humanities when supplied to a dependent group been removed by preachments, petitions, vilifications, or recriminations. Dependent groups have always had to match force against force, or else move out and create an environment and a nationality of their own, or die ethnically." The author of "Race Leadership" is no watery cosmopolitan or pink internationalist on the subject of equality. In the chapter on "Logic and Equality" with rare simplicity he clarifies the subject for us for all time by stating, "We must quote this, though it be our last quotation. If A is equal to B the relationship is complete, and no qualifying addenda would be necessary to clarify the relationship. To preamble such, would be a prima facie denial of the validity of the idea itself. In the very nature of the case, therefore, 'equality' as an instrument. In ideaation is within its rights only in the field of discourse." And elsewhere in this herole chapter "Can the word 'equality admit of adjectives' or modifying, epithets or phrases? When men speak of 'social equality', 'political equality' or 'industrial equality', are they not under the yoke of a type of sociology analogous to the effete compartment, psychology? Sundering of parts for one as for the other can be only for the purpose of scientific analysis, but not for the reality of life." Well, we have very nearly overstepped the space provided for us in this one-sided discussion, but we are certain the editorial staff will well with us in this instance. It is such a great relief to read a book of this kind, a book which we will make so hold as to prophecy will remain a classic of Negro thought, that we could go on in this fashion until all publishing space is exhausted. We can not urge our leaders too strongly to read this clear, fresh, virile book by one of the great minds of our race. We are sure it will prove to be the inspiration it was to us. WILLIAM WARE. Colored Women Organize To Improve Conditions EVANSTON, Ill.—A society known as the Co-operative Trust and Community League was recently organized by a group of our most progressive women. Its purpose is to improve living conditions in homes, wherever needed, and also to co-operate with the parents and with the public schools in regard to the conduct and neat appearance of the school children. (Continued from page 8) it is secure. During the coming ages the lovers, not only of African liberty, but of liberty, will seek his resting place and bow before his holy groom paying homage to a heretic soul which struggled for the freedom all men love. Robert Lincoln Poston, the man, is dead, but-Robert Lincoln Poston, the exponent of African redemption, will live forever. He has passed into history, and when the confusion and misunderstanding in our race has given way to sincerity and conviction, he will take his place with the renowned of the ages. The good attempted by him for his race will forever live. His example and work will influence black men everywhere. He was a charming companion and friend, a sincere leader, a super statesman, a dauntless figure, a noble idealist, a lofty soul. He has made a matchless contribution to his race. His going will be mourned by millions of Negroes the world over. At the bier the Universal Negro Improvement Association bows in reverend mood and genuine sorrow for the loss of so noble a soul. Knowing with what intensity he so much desired to see Africa, amid our grief there is a feeling of happiness, that he did not die until he had seen that land he so much loved—Africa, for which he had suffered and for which he made the supreme sacrifice. In his passing, though we loved him, we bow sublimely to a power stronger than ours. To those of his bosom who mourn—his wife and those bound by ties of blood, let there be in your hearts no revolt against or bitterness for the great and divine cause of your loss. Life and Death Are Kings We live in a world where both life and death are kings. There must come to all of us disappointments, losses, defusions, deaths. These are as much a part of our environment as the air or breathe, or the sun which beats down upon us. If we would have the police and peace of mind with which to carry on, we must learn the secret of adjustment to the will of the Divine. From the tree of life, whether it be today or tomorrow, all fruit must fall. This is inevitable. Then, why should we be graved at his going out? Who knows whether it were better that Poston should have lived than that he should have died? Which to, him was the greater blessing, life or death? Some can answer this. Who among us can say that death is not good? Death may be but the door to larger life and to greater opportunity. He has done much for us in life, but who can say that he will not do more in death? We do not know which is the more fortunate, the Poston lying here before us on his bier, or the Poston running the whole length of life's uneven path, wading her streams of sorrow, climbing her mountains of danger beset with host, confidence, blasted hopes and broken beals. Death at its worth is only perfect worse than ours. Where he now lies, we all must be. Whatever his fate will soon be ours. We are all poor helpless mortals, struggling for we know not what, going we know not where, feeling we gone. Who among you would bring him back? He now sleeps. Who is there would distract his sweet run? Here he lies, a weary warrior, broken in battle for the freedom of his people, for the cause of his race. We can only say, "May the God of Peace at his soul." OBITUARY The obituary notice, which was read by the Rev. Dr. J. E. Carter, follows: Robert Lincoln Poston, the son of Prof. E. and the late Mary Cory Poston, was born in Hopkinson, Kentucky, February 25, 1890. He received his preparation for his life's work at the M. & E. College, Hopkinson, Ky.; Walden University, Nashville, Tennessee; Howard University, Washington, D.C.; and Emerson School of Expression, Boston, Mass. Upon the completion of his course, he engaged in teaching at the M. & E. College, Hopkinson, Ky., for four years. When the call came for men to serve in the world war he answered and served, with credit. After the war he and his brother, U.S. Boston, founded the Hopkinsville "Contender," and, after championing the rights of his people in that city in such strong teams as because the displeasure of the forces of evil, he and his brother founded the Detroit "Contender." It was here that they learned first of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its founder, Hon. Marcus Garvey, Mr. Boston aligned himself at once on the side of right and fought the cause manfully for the Universal Negro Improvement Association. He was a busy man and served as contributing editor of the Louisville "News." He also wrote extensively for some of the leading magazines and newspapers of the country. While editor of the Detroit "Contender" he secured the first conviction for violation of the Civil Rights Law. While in the army he sacrificed a commission to bring about needed reforms. While fighting the battles of the people in Detroit through the columns of the "Contender" he met the Hon. Marcus Garvey and came to the convention of 1921, where he met with signal honors and was elected second assistant secretary-general of the U. N. I. A. He was attentive to duty and was appointed on the staff of The Negro World. New York soon knew R. L. Poston as a bold, fearless writer of truth and the cause of right, especially earnest in scoring the shams of life. He was signally honored again for services in the U. N. I. A. and became Sir Robert L. Poston, K. C. of the Nils. He was elevated to the position of secretary-general. He served with credit and honor in this port, and while serving here he was called to serve the 490,000,000 black people an chairman of the delegation most abroad, entrusted with a special mission to Europe and Liberia. He so-compiled the things assigned to him and was an route home to report, when the hand of death arrested his brilliant career and summoned him unto his stern home. He was prepared for such a sudden end through the profession of faith in the Baptist church, to which faith he was consistent. He leaves to mourn his loss a wife, father, three brothers, sister, relatives and a host of friends. Were a star quenched on high, For ages would its light Still traveling downward from the sky Shine on our mortal sight. So when a good man dies, For years beyond our ken The light he leaves behind him Upon the path of men. DR. CARTER'S ADDRESS Dr. Carter then wound up with the following address: "One Day Neaker Home." If we pause in the mad rush of life and notice keenly what home is, we, perhaps, would be able to find for ourselves a meaning that is satisfying. Surely home is not a mere place for our existence. Surely it cannot be a place of rest and rest only. But what is home? Home in the truest sense of the word is a place where we find absolute freedom, all restraint is moved, all shams are lifted, and we have complete relaxation of mental, physical and moral forces. Home, whether it is a physical home, a mental home or a spiritual home, we will find in that home freedom. And as Poston was en route back to America and to those he loved heat in the home, he would repeat morning after morning. "One day noarer home." Surely there was the voice of a prophet moving him in such an utterance as this. Not only to the physical home, where he would be welcomed by a loving wife, not only to the physical home, where he would be welcomed by the thousands that come to Liberty Hall, but one day noarer that home where there is complete freedom, where there is no discrimination, where there is no segregation, where there is no prejudice, where there is no injustice, where all mankind are free to stand and proclaim out of the fullness of their souls that in the light of freedom and truth I have a right to stand before the King of Kings and Lord of Lords and be at home indeed. One Day Nearer Home One day nearer home, and we find him disabling himself of all this material. Boston as he went to his final home knew full well that to most men, the average man, I may say, life is but a mere slum. Only one in a thousand realize the real purpose of life. Boston was one of the thousand that realized for what purpose he had been born. He realized that if the world was to be made better, if humanity was to be helped, it home was to be reflected in his life, his must be a life of service, and he gave it willingly that life may be expressed in its best form. Oh, friends, you can do well in emulating the example of Robert Lincoln Poston. You who come to Liberty Had time after time, sir, and get the wonderful expressions coming from this custum, be encouraged with the fact that this hisgiven as a ransom, given as a sacrifice, is replete in good deeds, is replete in service a service that can be understood, a service that can be accepted, a service that will send its inspiration down the ages until black men wherever they live will understand the full meaning of what Robert Lincoln Poston meant when he said, "One day nearer home." One day we shall all enter into that home, and in keeping with the most excellent thought advanced by the Hen. Marcus Garvey one day nearer home he had to answer the call. For out of the New York Local and out of the many divisions all over the country and throughout the world one by one stomach members have entered into the eternal home. But there 'was no executive head, God knew in His wisdom and His mercy in His infinite love there must be a directing influence, a great gift of inspiration standing before His throne with those who have gone before. And Robert Poston stands with them as the genius directing them and saying, "Lord, how long, how long FROM FACTORY TO YOU 10 Factory Price, $6.98 14K HOLD GOLD filled case nicely graved, Platinum finished, warranted 25 years.

The present is the righteous awaith much, and we shall assist in making a home for the men and women in which they will have an equal chance, and that has surely must Africa. One more thought and I shall conclude. In a home we must be certain that it is located in that place where the environment is most conducive to the freedom for which we live. If there is anybody here who will assure me of the fact that anywhere in the western civilization the black man or the black man can boast of the fact that they have a home secure from all the wishes of this world, I will eat the Bible Aye, it is a thought I want to send home. It may be crude, but hear me, any home anywhere in western civilization may be imposed upon at any time: whenever the stronger race feels inclined to enter the most sacred precincts, they will come in and depoll and tear down and we will have to be the sufferers. I plead, then, tonight that we continue our footsteps in the direction of that place and that land where we can have a home, where the enemy dare not come, for the mighty force and power represented in black men and black women shall have its telling effect in presenting any efforts that may be put forth to despair or to destroy our home.

THE NEWS AND VIEWS OF U.N.I.A. DIVISIONS GOSPELON, JAMAICA Successful Open Air Mass Meeting the division is still making steady progress and our members are still working together. Our field work is supporting splendidly and meetings are extended by very large crowds. The meeting or any report is an open meeting held at the Kingston racecourse on Sunday, the 9th inst. A association of officers, members, Lagoon, Black Cross Nurses and Boy and Girl Guides, under the able leadership of Major S. Gibson, commanding officer of the U. A. L. and headed by the band of the association, started from Liberty Hall our local headquarter, at 3 o'clock p. m. The units made a great showing and highly impressed our friends and would-be enemies of the organization, who lined the streets as the procession passed by. The procession was met at the racecourse by the Hon. Rev. S. M. Jones, organizer and general supervisor of the local divisions. Among those present were Hod: S. M. Jones, president; Messra: G. P. Llewelyn and W. N. Allen, vice-presidents; Messra: G. T. Allan, general secretary; A. B. Sterling, Major S. Gibson, Capt. D. Adamson, Mrs. Gertrude Jones, lady president; Messrae Ada Jones, E. G. Grey, H. E. Lowin and Misses Sterling and L. Huey, our local nightingales. The meeting was opened by the singing of "From Greenland's Ice Mountain," followed by prayer and short opening address by the Hon. S. M. Jones. The first speaker was Mr. J. H. Allan, second vice-president, who emphasized the necessity of caring for the body as well as the soul. He said that the duty of every Negro was to work unceasingly to accomplish the great aims of the U. N. I. A. as fostered by the Hon. Marcus Garvey. Being our local authority on history, Mr. Allan found it quite easy to adduce many historical facts to support his argument. Well does he deserve the title of "Our Historian." Major S. Gibson followed and in a loud, clear style he told of his travels in England and America and how his contact with the white man in his own country made it possible for him to grasp the program of the U. N. I. A. at sight. He spoke of the aims and objects of the Universal African Legion and pointed out why it is necessary to be prepared for African re-remption. He wring great applause from his hearers when he said: "Make the world fit for Negroes to live, for millions now living 'will now die.'" Mr. H. L. Lewin, late of New York.

She exported her heart to be adored in their efforts to put the program over. She said that many picture postcards misrepresenting this section of the race were on sale in New York, and advised her hearers to desist from posing for the cameras of our foreign white visitors, whose only aim is to hold our people up to ridicule. Mr. G. T. Allan was next introduced and said, later alia, that much more could be done by us as a race to reclaim ourselves from slavedom and servitude. Opportunities were always knocking at the human door and every man alike should do his best to live up to a recognised standard. Said he: "When the brotherhood of man is welcomed by us as we do the Fatherhood of God, the redemption of Africa will be an easily accomplished fact." Other speakers were Mr. G. P. Llewelyn, third, vice-president, and Lieutenant Chas. D. Johnson, field secretary. The presiding officer, the Hon. S. M. Jones, dealt on the intricacies of politics. He pointed out how England used her greatest weapon, diplomacy, to subjugate such people as the Aahantis and others. He quoted his authority from a book which he took with him, and read how Sir Baden-Powell said that instead of being allied to Great Britain, as certain African tribes wanted, they were reduced to the status of subjects. He dwelt at length on the righteousness of the cause of the U. N. I. A. and advised all non-members to join up and rally around the Hon. Marcus Garvey to put the program over. The band under the direction of Bandmaster Thomas supplied splendid music. A splendid evening was brought to a close by the singing of the Ethiopian National - Anthem.

Inspiring Address by Dr. Maloney At the People's Tubernacle on Sunday afternoon, March 16, members and friends of the Pittsburgh Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association were favored with a very eloquent, instructive and inspiring address by Rev. A. H. Maloney, professor of psychology at Wilberforce University, and author of a recently published book entitled "Some Essentials of Race Leadership." Prof. Maloney spoke on "World Politics and the Negro." The address gave evidence of broad and deep knowledge of the Negro question, both in its national and international aspects. He emphasized the fact the World War had awakened the Negro from his number of centuries and caused him to face the world with determination to be free and independent. He also stressed the value of serious thinking on the part of Negroes and the need of world unity of the race. "If we," said he, "can get 400,000,000 Negroes of the world to think together and act together the problem will be solved." Prof. Maloney clearly expounded and vigorously defended the doctrines of the U. N. I. A. and paid, a glowing tribute to the Hon. Marcus Garvey, its founder, and president general. In the person of Prof. Maloney the U. N. I. A. has a very able and uncompromising defender. He inspired the audience with zeal for the cause of the U. N. I. A. and loyalty to Marcus Garvey. In the evening of the same day Prof Maloney delivered a soul-surviving sermon at the Rodman Street Baptist Church, of which Rev. O. S. Sims is the pastor. Rev. Maloney selected as his text the last clause of the sixth verse of St. John, V., which reads: "Wilt thou be made whole?" He said that just as Christ showed His sympathy for the suffering man by asking this question, just so should we manifest the Christ-like spirit by beling those who are offering and in need. The last part of the sermon was devoted to the Negro race in particular. Jesus said to the sick man: "Take up thy bed, and walk." Rev. Maloney urged Negroes to get up out of their bed of frivolity, indifference, dishonesty, disloyalty and disunity. Without calling the person and organization by name, Rev. Maloney made a strong plea for loyalty to Marcus Garvey and the U. N. L. A. and from the expressions from the congregation it was evident that this appeal was met with approval. "Those men who are striving to unite our race," said Rev. Maloney, "and are pointing us the way to liberty, independence, and powers deserve our sympathy and support." Following the sermon a minister in his prayer asked God's blessing upon Africa and Marcus Garvey. It was through the influence of Mr. Frank Mays that permission was obtained for the Rev. Maloney to speak in the church, and we appreciate very much the action of the Rev. Sims, who threw open the doors of his church in order that the truth might be told to the members of his race. If the other Negro ministers would emulate the example of the Rev. Sims we are certain that the progress of the race would be accelerated. OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA Sunday afternoon, March 8, at Carpenter's Hall, Oakland, Cal., the members and friends of the U. N. L. A. were privileged to hear a splendid address delivered by one of our local ministers, in the person of Rev. Collins the pastor of Park's Chapel A. M. E. Church. Rev. Collins won a lasting place in the hearts of his hearers when he admitted that the logic and wisdom of the preamble to our Constitution was sufficient argument for any Negro to enroll in the noble work advocated by the Universal Negro Improvement Association. He further stated that until someone could produce something better and greater than what he understood the U. N. L. A. to mean he would always fight for its principles. The speaker then gave a wonderful revelation of our Libical history and ancestral relationship to Egyptian civilization. A strong plan was made for the co-operation of the elgyri and the U. N. I. A. To help put our race in its proper position with other races of the world. Statement that the time for all ministers to make a decided stance or against the movement that we may know them and protect ourselves accordingly was emphasized and warmly applauded. The climax of the speaker's remarks was reached when he forcibly denounced our present psychology and declared the necessity for a thorough "unteaching" of our present beliefs and ideas before we could properly understand and appreciate the doctrine of Garveylam. Arthur S. Gray. Reporter. NEGRO WORLD NOTICE Any division of the U. N. I. A. not now receiving the Negro World regularly every week is asked to communicate immediately with The Circulation Dept. Negro World, 56 West 136th St. New York City Miranda Division is setting a pace which the other divisions in Cuba might find it hard to follow. At a meeting recently held by this local the attendance was of a record breaking character. Several visiting officers claimed that although they had visited many divisions throughout the island of Cuba still they had never witnessed such a record breaking crowd before. The Negroes of this community are among the most loyal and enthusiastic for the cause Afric and are determined to do everything in their power to put over the program for 1924.

On the 25th of February we held a very enthusiastic meeting which was attended by a large number of friends and members.

The program was as follows: Recitation, Miss Harriet Porter; paper, Miss Lona Boli Ayers; recitation, Miss Lizzie Porter; recitation, Miss Eliza McFarlane; Miss Allen Young; song by the choir; paper, Miss Allerbe Armstrong; recitation, Robert McFarlane; recitation, Nolen Patrick. The lady president, Mrs. M, L. Young, delivered a splendid address full of inspiration and encouragement.

The meeting was brought to a close with the singing of the anthem. U. N. L. A. & A. C. L. Editor of Negro World, 56 West 153th Street, New York City, N. Y.

Yours for service, MISS EDNA HAYNER, Executive Secretary, Sunflower Division No. 123 SYDNEY, NOVA SCOTIA Owing to the industrial conditions this division has not been as prosperous as the officers would like it to be. Recently, however, the division has taken on a new life and especially among the ladies of the division. The women of this community are determined to throw in their lot and help the men to push the program of the U. N. L. A. The male officers of the local after giving them a hearty welcome and receiving them as co-workers in the association turped the meeting over to the ladies for them to proceed with the election of their officers.

Veinte y cinco años más de dependencia El comité insular de la cámara se reunió en sesión ejecutiva, pero el subcomité nombrado para preparar el proyecto de ley independencia para Filipinas y el informe a la cámara no establa listo para el caso debido a la renuncia de su presidente el representante Knutson, habiéndose nombrado nuevo subcomité con el representante Kiess de Pennsylvania para presidente y anadíndose otro miembro republicano, Beedy, de Maine. Los miembros demócratas son William, de Tejas, y Kent de Pennsylvania. El comité del senado, que ha concluido sus audiencias sobre el proyecto, probablemente celebrara una sesión ejecutiva, para considerar la decision que ha de tomar. Honorable Roberto L. Poston, secretario general de la organización, fallece en alta mar—La raza, enlutada por la gran pérdida, le recordará para siempre—Su espíritu una importante influencia en nuestro desarrollo Industrial—Primer diplomático de la raza que adquiere un éxito completo en su peregrinación por Europa y Africa Se ha dicho ciertamente que en el dulce sendero de la vida caminamos a la par con las amarguras de la muerte, y lo vemos de nuevo verificado en el fallecimiento de uno de los grandes paladines de nuestra causa, el honorable Roberto L. Poston, secretario general de la organización, y electro recientemente secretario de la nueva corporación de navegación. Si bien hay posibilidad de que la caimara apreueb el proyecto de independencia para las Filipinas con enmiendas, la opinión de las autoridades mejor informadas es que hay poca probabilidad, de que el proyecto sea adoptado por ambas camaras, especialmente en vista de la conocida opicio del gobierno. Roberto L. Poston nacio en Hopkinsville; Kentucky, Estados Unidos de America, en 1890 y a la edad de treinta y cuatro años llevó a la realización un gran número de sus aspiraciones, dejando a su retaguardia. un nombre que vivirá impercecedero en la memoria y en la historia de toda nuestra raza. Omitiendo su brillante carrera desde su juventud hasta la época en que ingreso en las filas de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, en donde en poco tiempo escaló las gradas del consejo ejecutivo, con honor hemos de manifestar que consagró todas sus energias en pro de los intereses generales de su raza. Según estas mismas autoridades, lo mas que podria esperarse en esta sesión del congreso la aprobación de un proyecto que fijaria un tiempo determinado de unos veinte o veinte y cinco años para reconocer en el futuro esa independencia, es decir, otros veinte y cinco años de ocupación, la cual congenio, como se sabe, el 13 de agosto de 1898. Existe mucha especulación respecto al resultado de la conferencia celebrada hace varios días. en la oficina del secretario de la guerra, en la cual estuvieron presentes cierto número de norteamericanos promiñentes interesados en negocios en las Filipinas, entre los cuales figuran el exvicegobernador de Nueva York Gilbert, actualmente abagado en ejercicio en Nueva York. J. G. White, president, y j. A. Pardee, vicepresidente de la J. G. White Company. Créese que como resultado de esta conferencia, puede que algunos miembros del congreso presenten un nuevo proyecto, que fije la fecha futura en que se concede la independencia, garantizando, mientras tanto, a los filipinos mayor grado de gobierno propio en preparación para la eventual independencia. Aparte de sus actividades como oficial de la organización, siempre alerta como buen piloto y salvandola, cual barca, de las rocas enemigas, en diciembre de 1923 fue nombrado presidente de la delegación que visitó a Europa y Africa, conferenciando alli con varios gobiernos para la condución de los planes de repatriación y colonización, por medio de los cuales nuestro elemento en el hemisferio occidental se ve posibilito para ir a la madre patria y establacerse, en unión de la otra parte de nuestro elemento alli domiciliado, como un pueblo libre e independiente. Por medio de su advocación a la causa, el ilustre fenecido condujo al pie de la letra el programa de la misión que le fué encomendada, representando como embajador no solamente a su organización sino también a su raza, con mayor interes tal vez que cualquier otro, representante de cualquier otra raza o nación. La nota mas triste en tal fatal desenlace estriba en que la noche antes de su desembarco, para dar personalmente al pueblo que le envió cuenta de su experiencia en el otro lado del atlantico, fallecio, recavendo naturalmente en sus compañeros de viaje el manifiestar sus realizaciones, lo cual a él correspondia y por las que trabajo con gran aninco. Las elecciones de Santo Domingo Al parecer, éSanlo Domingo ha llevado a cabo en perfecto orden sus elecciones presidenciales. El nuevo ejecutivo consagrado por la voluntad popular marcara, al tomar posición del elevado encargo, un nuevo paso hacia la restauraction total de la soberanía de la república. Nuestro elemento universalmente y bajo la dirección de nuestra organización estará de luto por la pérdida irreparable; la Aociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra ha perdido un hombre difícil de reempleazar, y en tojas sus actividades en coneccción con la organización, no hubo un sólo instante en que se dudara de su entereza de caracter. El fué honrado y leal; sus mas grandes ideales fueron la salvación de la raza y la redención de la patria; con ese propósito vivia, con tal propósito laboraba y sirviendo al mismo propósito murió. No es precisa una evocación de laazarosa sucesión de pruebas que Santo Domingo ha tenido que pasar para verse, como ahora, en franca via hacia la normalización de su existencia constitucional de pueblo libre. Lo de menos, al fin y al cabo, han sido hispaniades y quegrantos físicos, por doloros que sean. Lo más transcendental es la averia moral irremediable que acontecimientos como la gepacuimiento militar extrajera produce en el espiritu de un pueblo. Si hulteramos podido llevar al pincel los pensamientos de Roberto L. Postan al exhalar su último suspiro, habria mos visto en eilos un panorama de esperanzas y de buen deseo para su raza. En el mundo físico aquel noble ser ya no existe, pero en el espiritual vivirá por los siglos de los siglos; sus servicios prestados a la raza servirán de inspiración a centenares de nuestro elemento para continuar hacia adelante en esta grande y santa causa. Como demostración de profundo sentimiento y gran reconocimiento, todos los miembros y todas las divisiones de la organización guardarán luto por treinta días, respeto a la memoria de nuestro maestro, colega, hermano y compañero fenecido. Santo Domingo ahora pude mirar hacia atrás para recorrer las capas lamentables de los últimos años. El presente parece asegurado y el porvenir con garantías satisfactorias de seguridad. El destino del pueblo vuelve a estar en manos del pueblo mismo, que no debió jamás haberseó dejado arrebatar por otros. La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, como un sólo cuerpo, extiende a su apenada esposa y demas familiares la mas sentida condolencia; a ellos nemos de manifestar que los servicios a su raza han sido grandemente apreciados, que su raza nunca le olvidará, y que no solamente le llevaremos grabado en nuestro corazón, sino que cuando Etiopia se ensize en su gloria, nosotros, los que con el laboraramos, hemos de advertir a nuestras generaciones venideras que Roberto L. Poston fué una de las palancas mas fuertes en la restitucion de la patria a su puesto correspondiente entre los pueblos y naciones del universo. Pero para que lo pasado no torne a repetirse, con consecuencias aun más deplorables y termino descoñcido, la generación de políticos que intervino en los sucesos originadores de la ocupación extranjera debería, de ser posible, eliminarse expontamente. O a lo meos cedar el paso gradualmente a nuevos elementos enteramente limpios de responsabilidad y rodeados, ante el pueblo, de la aureola de no haber tenido contactos o transacciones con el invasor, para llegar a la actual situación. Mientras que con gran pesar lamentamos su fallecimiento inesperado, estamos para entrar en una nueva era de prosperidad, resultado práctico de sus actividades, y fijamos nuestra vista hacia el renacimiento en el programa y objeto de nuestra organización. Estamos actualmente reorganizando en todas partes para poner en práctica nuestros planes de colonizacion, la ejecución de los cuales estaba encomendada al honorable fenecido. El los delineó esplendidamente; hizo su trabajo preliminar a satisfacción, y sobre su fundación de cimientos sólidos hemos de construir. Una de las más perniciosas influencias que puede actuar sobre nuestras masas hispanoamericanas es la nación de que sus governantes han legado al poder, se mantienen en el o esperan conquistarlo, excisivamente como prolongación de la autoridad adquirida por unos y otros medios ante el gobierno de Washington. No es que se trate ni se desea siquiera abrir el paso en nuestros pueblos a hostilidades injustas contra los Estados Unidos. Todo lo contrario. Hay que rodear a los hombres de gobierno te Hispano América de un ambiente de absoluta y soberana independencia en relación con la Casa Bianca y el Departamento de Estado, para que la cordialidad lógica y necesaria que exhijan desde su cargo, no parezca imposición extrana sino convictión patriótica. Cuando los cancilleros do toros A su llegada a Liberia, segun nos informó uno de sus compañeros de viaje, dijo que nunca en su vida se habia sentido mejor y mas feliz; en salud habia ganado considerablemente y se sentía un hombre nuevo. Salió de Liberia lleno de ambiciones y esperanzas y, desdichadamente, a su viaje de regreso, y la noche antes de su desembargo, dejó de existir. Hemos de decir adios al honorable Roberto L. Poston; pero no adios para slempre; su alma llegó a tal grado de adelanto que su influencia en nuestra causa será impercedera. Oremos por el descanso de su alma; oremos, si, para que tenga inmediato acceso en el neino de Dios y allí. Requiescat in Pace Cuando los cancilleres de todos nuestras republicas, pusdan presentarse como líderes y yales amigos de los Estádio Unidos, sin que haya ni la sombra de una sopacha en torno a la buena ley de esa actitud, los pueblos que hoy desconfian y recelan mirando hacia el Norte, perderan toda apresión. Y quienes ahora miran servilmente hacia Washington buscando exequatura eligitimos de un poder extrano para elevarse a la gobernación de su propio pais, sabran que ni, es necesario ni posible tal procedimiento. Santo. Domingo entra ahora en una etapa doblemente crítica de su historia. Puede echar a andar de nuevo comio una república independiente, sencilla y cordialmente independiente de toda influencia ajena. Y puede, insensiblemente, encontrarse al cabo de algn tiempo con el ambiente enrarezado y viciado de los pueblos en que se vive en una ficción nacional, mientras de fuera llegan los verdaderos impulses y las verdaderas ordenes.—La Prensa, N. Y. Alrededor del mundo aereoplano Pará el vuelo al rededor del mudo de los aviadores americanos hay jalones a través del Atlántico, en Islandia y Groenlandia; a través del Pacífico, en las las Aleutian y Kuril, que conducen al Japon. Las largas horas de sol estival del Lejano Septentrion favorecerán estas etapas. En su recorrido total de treinta mil millas el vuelo aislado más largo es de ochocientos sesenta millas, desde el grupo de las Aleutian y Kuril. Esia distancia esja bien dentro del alcance de vuelo de los modernos aviones. El cruzar los dos grandes mares presenta asi menos dificultades que los muchos vuelos que deben ser emprendidos al largo de costas desconocidas y sobre terrenos inexpiorados donde los aeroplanos aun hoy en dia son una novedad. El arreglar con meses de anticipación lo necesario para más de cinquenta aterrizamientos, suministrar uno solo petroleo y las provisiones habituales sino aeroplanos de recambio, pontones y motores donde sean necesitados, es una tarea a proposito para la más inteligente organización comercial. Hay razon para esperar más bien que simplemente conchar que en este empeño los aviadores americanos tengan éxito, donde los britícones y franceses fracasaron. La razon está en la experiencia que los americanos han tenido en vuelos a través del territorio, sobre largas distancias compreendidas dentro del ampli limite de los Estados Unidos. L aviadores del ejecerto, así como pilotos del servicio postal, han sido ejercitados en vuelos a través del país bajo toda clase de condiciones -mater-ficas y sobre breve bravo- y han desarrollado la inventiva para aterrizamiento forzados en parade descomocidos, tanto por lo que comos los aviadores de cuenaquier oposis. El mayor Martin y sus ayudantes han sido elegidos para su mision a causa de su experiencia en vuelos a través del país. La que es tal que pocos aviadores extranjeros han podido tener parecida. Los pilotos contarán con los excelentes arrojadores, guijuelos por instrumentos de posición que les sujo por encendidos hasta el nivel de insuperable por medio de la coopération con los hombres de ciencia. Con todo lo que la previsión y la libertad para gastrar pueden sugerir para equipar a los tentadores de la Avenura, es razonable adentar que el esfuerzo americano por circundar el globo por el aire terminar en un exito. Es una empresa que atirae le imaginación aun en una época desorzonada por la relación de nuevas maravillas constantas. El vaco bordarce las trocas de olas de Alaska; pasará los poco visitidos volcanes americanos de las islas proximas a Alaska; atravesura el Japon en toda su longitud y seguira la populosa costa de China; cruzará al largo de Burma, Siam, Bengala, Persia; como sobre la magica alfombra se volara sobre Bagdad y Aleppo; se atravesarán los Ballanes, vivero de guerras, y se desfilará ripidamente sobre los países de cultura de la Europa occidental, antes de desgender de nuevo hacia las regiones subarticas del norte del Alfantico y pasar ante el blanquante Labrador para entrar de nuevo en este país. Una nueva enmienda El senado gprobó la enmienda constitucional propuesta por el senador. Norris adelantando la fecha de la reunión del congreso y la inauguración del presidente de la república. En la enmienda se provee que el congreso se reunirá el primer junes de enero después de las elecciones de noviembre y que el presidente se encargará el tercer junes de enero. Después de la-fabulosa riqueza aurifera de la California, después de la diamantifera del Africa del Sur, no menbs fabulosa, anunciarse ahora que en la region del Kasal, al suroeste del Congo, han sido recientemente descubiertos importantes yamientos diamantiferos, que empiezan a ser explotados. El primer minúsculo diamente de esta región fue encontrado por casualidad en Octubre de 1909. El descubrimiento fue la iniciación de una serie de exploraciones realizadas en 1912 y 1913, todas con el fin del hallazgo de diamantes en diversos puntos del territorio explorado. En 1913 fue realizada una exploración más minucesa en Cikapa, en les orillas del gio Kasag, que desde entonces es el centro de las exploraciones de los yacimientos dianantiferos. Suspendidos por la guercra en 1914, al año siguiente los trabajos entraron en la fase industrial que la paz desarrollo, de tal modo, que los diamantes del Congo ocupan hoy dia un puesto importante en el mergoundo mundial. La producción que en 1914 era de 23,877 quilates metricos de doscientos millíramos, en 1920 llegó a 318,779 quilates, esto es, del 12,5 por ciento con relación a la del Afrika del Sur, el mayor centro diamantifero del mundo en estado de exploitation. En 1921, año de crisis, la producción del Congo solólo llegó a 280,653 quilates; peródo la del Africa del Sur hajo de 2,545,00 quilates, a 806,643 quilas es, es decir, una proporción mucho mayor. La industria diamantifera del Congo apenas iniciada y el territorio de Kasay, explorado el más vasto campo diamantifero sus principios consistuye ya el del mundo.

Se hacen otras recomendaciones The President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association on his tour of the nation, has been approached by hundreds of loyal members and well-wishers of the Association in complaint against the treatment they have received from several of the various departments of the Organization at headquarters, and from individual officers and employees at headquarters, as also against the conduct of certain Executive officers whilst on the field. The Attendant-General is grieved of the many complaints and hereby begs to announce that a Complaint Department is now established and attached to his office. All persons having complaints to make against any department or officer or employee of the Organization will please write to: COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT P.

Triunfo del derecho de un pueblo Los progresistas de la alianza nacional, han obtenido una victoria abrumadora en las elecciones de la República Dominicana. El mensaje de Summer Welles, conisionado de este país en la república declara que los registros indican que el general Vásquez y los candidatos del partido de la alianza han ganado una victoria abrumadora, al punto que dicho partido tendrá once miembros de los doce que componen el senado, más veinticineco de los treinta y uno de la camara de diputados. El despaño agrega que la alianza obtuvo también el noventa por ciento de los puestos municipales. Los funcionarios de Washington se mostraron complacidos en la noticia de Welles de que no habían ocurrido desórdenes de ninguna naturalza durante las elecciones. La policía habia tomado todas las precauciones, se declara, para que el orden y la paz prevalecieran y que en toda la república no se hizo un solo arresto. En todas las provincias que visitan, dice, hubo completo orden y cordialidad evidente entre los miembros de los partidos opuestos. De ante mano se habia indicado que el partido de la alianza, formada por el partido nacional, dirigido por el general Horacio Vázquez, y el partido progresista, dirigido por el señor Federico Velázquez y Hernández, tendría mayoria en las elecciones; pero lo que no se habia previsto que su victoria fuera tan grande. Habiendo sido tan satisfactorio este paso importante hacia el restacimiento del gobierno constitucional en la República Dominicana, crece que los pasos restantes para la retirada final de las autoridades de ocupación de esa república por lo Estado. Unidos, procederan en forma ordenada y rapiada.

Universal Negro Improvement Association approached by hundreds of loyal association in complaints against the ST. LOUIS, Mo.—The criteria of secrecy surrounding the hardships of an overworked, underpaid girl wage slave in a scab hotel were drawn aside in circuit court here this week. Those patrons of the check room at Hotel Statler who have been liberal with their tips in the belief that all they gave went to the check room girls now realize that they have been deceived by one Charles Neuberger, who stands behind the curtain and cheerfully pockets his swag in the form of the tips which he takes from his girl slaves and banks to his own credit. This man Neuberger operates the check room concessions in Statler hotels throughout the country. He has found it a profitable business (for Neuberger) if his system here is a criterion. Neuberger resides at Cleveland. The girls work long hours to make big profits for the boss, and their toil is rewarded at the rate of $70 a month. The girls are said to be instructed, when hired, to answer in the affirmative when check room patrons ask if the tips go to the girls to whom they are given and for whom they are intended. These facts came to light when Miss Cecil Patridge filed suit to recover $1,401.95 which she says she collected in tips during the six months she worked at the Statler, and which was embezzled by the boss. She testified that she was hired with the understanding that she was to retain her tips, which would bring her merger pay nearer to a decent standard. Neuberger's only reply is that Miss Patridge was paid a salary and therefore not entitled to her tips. Rebels When Boss Steals Earnings "That's my money, I worked the lines of men that stood before canes and umbrellas, I smiled unrolled in. Then they fired me and the tips. All those smiles for no Charles Neuberger gets all the their coats, lugging heavy article ruin anyone. I was paid $70 a live decently on that? "I left one night with a kill was fired.

"To the lines of men that stood, before the counter recovering hats, coats, canes and umbrellas, I smiled until my face cracked, and the money rolled in. Then they fired me and told me I could have no share of the tips. All those smiles for nothing; six months of grinning and Charles Neuberger gets all the money. Helping old men on with their coats, lugging heavy articles around, the hours were enough to ruin anyone. I was paid $70 a month. Who is the girl who can live decently on that? "I left one night with a killing headache, and the next day I was fired. Many times I missed the car at one o'clock in the morning. When I did catch the car I was so tired I barely was able to drag myself aboard. One time one of the girls had lost an old man's coat before I had come on duty. He came up and handed me the check, the coat was gone and he began to yell for money. My boss compelled me to pay sixteen dollars—one-third of the cost of the coat." A nonsuit order was entered on account of an alleged error. This permits Miss Partridge to file a new bill, which she will do. In the meantime behind the counter of the Statler check room the $70 a month victims of Neubergerism smile out their "Thank you, sirs," as the clink of dimes, quarters, halves, dollars, supplies sweet music to the ear of one exploiter among the many who profit and wax fat from the helplessness of unorganized toilers. All Hope Abandoned It was past midnight, and a young man sat huddled in a chair in the club smoking room. A friend came in. "Hello, Freddy!" he asked. "Not going home yet." "No," muttered Freddy hopelessly: "I daren't!" "Why, what's the matter?" "Oh, everything is finished—absolutely finished! I'm ruined." "Good heavens!" said the friend. "Betting or stock exchange?"

Mother's Gentle Hand The little boy in this story from "Touche a Tout" was evidently a firm believer in the old adage, "Of two evils choose the less." Turning a corner at full speed he collided with the minister. "Where are you running to my little man?" asked the minister, when he had regained his breath. "Home!" painted the boy, "Mats going to spank me." "What!" gasped the astonished minister. "Are you eager to have your mother spank you that you run home so fast?" "No," shouted the boy over his shoulder, as he resumed his homeward flight, "but if I didn't get there before pa, 'hell do it!'"—Pittsburgh Christian Advocate.

Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtainth favor of the Lord. - Prov, 18, verse 23 To assume the position of motherhood is the highest and greatest privilege that can come to any woman in this age, and to the Negro woman in particular. To her have come the privilege of carving the destiny of a race handicapped and persecuted for generations—and it is for her to bless or curse the future generations by her conduct. Enough Negro children have been born under bad and careless conditions and we have reached the point where. If we wish to compete with other races, physically, economically, and intellectually, we must stop, look, listen, and see to it that we no longer bring forth children who are physically, mentally, and morally defective and unfit for life's struggles. We must produce 100 per cent children. What Children Inherit As a Negro mother looks down into the face of her newly born babe, realizing the prejudices and scorn with which it must come in contact, she wonders what its life will be and begins to plan that she will train it for a doctor or school teacher or some other profession, that it may escape the hardships she has had to endure—but does she stop to think that she is willing to contribute, nay, more, what she herself has already contributed to that fresh, young life? If you should ask her, she would tell you over and over again that she is willing to lay down her life for her child, to make any sacrifice for it; but has she, before its advent into this world, realized that inherited tendencies have a great-influence over the life that is to be, and has she been particularly careful of her own habits and temperaments and customs heretofore? Has she practised self-control, read good books, and entertained only clean and wholesome thoughts and habits that she might bequeath to her child, and even her child's child, all that would tend to make a better and stronger race—a race that can battle side by side with any other race? The Influence of Home Life And when, at last, that little life is here, does she do all in her power to keep it pure in body, and pure in soul and protect it from all the pitfalls of life? I realize too well that in a busy and congested metropolis like New York, with its crowded streets and its over-crowded apartments, much of the real home atmosphere is lost and it is very hard to guide and direct the young life in the way we would wish it to go, but does the Negro mother do all in her power, as limited as it may be, for her child? Why will she persist in wheeling her child up and down Lenox avenue, with its heat and congestion, or sit chatting on the front stoop with her neighbors while her child romps and rummages among ash cans and the filth of the streets, when, by walking a block or two, her child could roll on the green grass, under God's blue sky and laugh and skip and jump and come in contact with nature, as is every child's right. An Example of Neglect On entering my house one evening last summer, I noticed a little boy about six years old sitting disconsolately on the steps. I said to him, "Lawrence, what are you doing out here at this time of night. Where is your mother?" He replied to me, "Mother is, in the movies." Yes, it was true. Mother was in the movies at 11 o'clock at night while her child wandered anywhere his childish fancies carried him and where he was learning any words of the street which might catch his childish ears while "Mother" was in the movies thrilled by Douglas Fairbanks' daring feats. On observation I found out that was just what took place in that home every night—father went to the poolroom, mother went to the movies and baby played in the streets until 11 or 12 o'clock at night. Wouldn't it have been fine if mother had spent her evenings reading to her child about Frederick Douglas, Toussaint L'Overture, or Phyllis Whilsty or lustering into that young mind the ethics of right living and thinking, which would tend to the development of a better equipped race. "The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world," and until Negro mothers are willing to sacrifice the movies, the dances, and the card-parties and spend some time in moulding the young minds our race will make no progress. Baby Imitates Mother Where is that old-fashioned courtesy, that childish chivalry that used to be so predoimphant in the child's life and actions—why the decay to such a noticeable extent? I will tell you. The grown-ups are living examples for children and the mothers in particular. If mother practices gentleness and refinement in the home as well as outside of the home, baby will do the same; but if she goes about using rough and abusive language, never fear, baby will imbibe the same habits and customs. When baby is two years old and can just lisp a bad word, mother laughs, and thinks it is so cute. When baby is six years old and uses the same bad word, mother looks at father, and shakes her head and says "Baby is getting rude, I don't know where she learned it," but when a baby is twelve or fourteen years old and again uses the same word, mother knocks her over the head for it. Now, when you stop to think about it, is that really fair? Couldn't NOTES OF INTEREST "Do not fear that the woman of today will forget her home and family. She will be, an inspiration to her husband and a comrade to her sons and daughters. We can be what we will to be—and the American woman has decided to be a world power. Time and education will do the rest. "One of women's biggest faults is their inability to stand criticism. They should understand that the man or woman who has never been criticized has never achieved anything. Men know how to take criticism. But women harbor it with personal resentment—and fall to learn. "Women, by nature, are particularly fitted for leadership in the world's work. They are naturally sincere, they are honest and they care more for an appreciation of their success than for monetary returns. Besides, they bring-with them the qualities of the home. They have brought up children, and, therefore, have an intimate understanding of human nature. "On the other hand, they have not been trained in the school of experience. They have much to learn and must keep studying. They want to reach the top of the ladder in one leap. But it cannot be done. Each rung must be climbed separately." —Grace E. Gunn in New York American. Egyptian Civilization "You Occidentals are too apt to confuse progress with civilization. Here you have progress, but in Egypt we have civilization even without the electric lights and fast train service and swift elevators. We have a civilization that is manifested by our hospitality and our customs. "Yet the progress of the ancient Egyptians probably was greater than yours is today. When I entered the tomb of Tut-Ankh-Amen and saw the wonderfully beautiful drawings on its walls I realized that 3,300 years ago the Egyptians had, if not electricity, some other means of lighting of which we know nothing. "For the walls of the tomb are still a snowy white. And had the artists of those days used an open flame to light the inside of the tomb if would have left its mark on the white walls." — Bishara Nahas. American War Profiteers You know, of course, that this country spent hundreds of millions on flying machines that didn't fly. When our men got over to Europe we had to borrow machines from other countries to send them up in the air. We killed a good many men in machines that were good for profiteers, but not good for flying. You know also that this country spent hundreds of millions at least a billion, on wooden ships that never left their docks. Six hundred, million dollars' worth of ships in one single lump, built by those patricioteers, would sell now for $10,000. Pray heaven that we may not get into another war, for our profiteerpatriots make them a little too expensive, to say nothing of intelligence and danger—New York Journal. Religious Emotion We have altogether too much religious emotion in this country today. It is doing tremendous harm. The amount of harm that it is doing will not be realized until the day of reckoning comes. We have churches meddling with politics. We have preachers talking about economic questions, which they do not understand. We have religious movements that try to interfere with the popular tendency. These are all manifestations of religious emotion. They interfere with the struggle of 115,000,000 people to establish a same form of government. They infect hysteria and prejudice into problems which require only common sense for their solution—Bruno Leessing in New York American. Home—the Backbone Of a Nation "No one but a woman can make a home, and the home is the backbone of the nation. Men need it, children need it, the woman herself needs it. The whole world today needs it and is beginning to suffer from the lack of it. If there is one tendency of our modern civilization that is really dangerous, it is the tendency to be impatient of the home. Besides, it offers a woman far more power than she could require anywhere else. There is no end to that power."—Mmc. Galli-Curcel. Suggestions to Housewives If a handful of common salt is added to the rinsing water, clothes hung to dry in the garden will not freeze. A little soda dissolved in the blue water when washing clothes will prevent any blue stain remaining on the garments. Never soak rice or macaroni before cooking it. Wash well, the former but not the latter, and place both in boiling water to cook. When baking a custard, warm the milk before adding the egg and no water will settle in the bottom of the dish. Keep your kitchen tools sharp and you will save much time in the course of a year. mother have avoided this last action by correcting the first?

JEWS MAKING SIMILAR EFFORTS AS NEGROES IN COLONIZING HOMELAND "Judaism is doomed to destruction unless Palestine is built up as the great spiritual center of the Jewish people." Dr. Joseph Silverman, Rabbi Emeritus of Temple Emmanuel El, for over twenty years a leader of Reform Judaism in America, made this declaration at a public reception given in his honor by the Palestine Foundation, Fund, upon his return from the Holy Land, where he made an extended investigation of the work of rebuilding the Jewish Homeland. The meeting officially launched the 1924 campaign of the fund to raise $3,000,000 for constructive enterprises in Palestine. Thrilled by the Jewish achievements he had witnessed in Palestine, Dr. Silverman, for many years a spokesman for non-Zionists in America, declared that "the success of the Jewish Homeland movement is assured because of the marvulous accomplishments of the Jewish pioneers." Anti-Semitic Propaganda in London "Palestine was once the Promised Land, flowing with milk and honey," he said. "It is today the land of promise, already rich enough in achievements, due to the persistent endeavors of the Palestine Foundation Fund and other laudable organizations, to justify the most radiant hopes of the leaders of Zion and the sure expectations of Great Britain and the League of Nations. Some may still call these hopes chimerical dreams, but let me here set it down, without malice or bonus that at the present juncture at Palestine restoration all sneers at Zionist dreams, ideals and performances are but the swan song of the hard对手." Dr. Silverman characterized as "un-sound, inaccurate and misleading" all presumistic and unfavourable reports on the movement to rebuild Palestine. "But for outside sinister influences there never would have arisen any autonomy on the part of the Arabs against the Jews in Palestine," he said. "The seat of antagonism against the Jewish Homeland is not in Palegine or Arabia; that in London, with those selfish individuals who are either anti-Semitics or for political reasons are opposing the very best interests of their government. The great masses of Arabs are friendly to Jewish aspirations, they work side by side with the Jews, they know already that the more Jewish activities going on in the land, the better off they will be, with increased wages and better living conditions." To Build Great Temple at Mt. of Olives Dr. Silverman advocated building near the Hebrew University on the Mount of Olives, which stands at the head of the Jewish advocational system in Palestine, a great united temple. "In a measure it would replace the ancient Temple of Solomon." He explained, "a great religious center for the entire Jewish world. What Rome is to the Catholic, what Mecca is to the Moslem, Jerusalem, in a similar sense, will become to the Jew. It is folly to enter into argument with those who charge that the places sacred to Christians and Arabs would be desecrated by establishing a Jewish Homeland in Palestine. The Jew never in the past, nor will he in the future, lay hand upon any spot sacred to the adherents of any other faith. And it is one of the fundamental principles of the Zionists that the sacred shrines of the Christians and Moslems in Palestine he guarded with as much care as those held dear by the Jews." "Back to the Land" Blogan of Zionists Describing the new Jerusalem which the Zionists have built up outside the old walled Holy City, and for which he predicted a population of 500,000. Dr. Silverman said that he found there an up-to-date city of modern European houses, with the same appointments and comforts he had in his own home in New York. "In this New Jerusalem, the capital of the New Palestine," Dr. Silverman continued, "the Jews have build up more than fifty settlements of neighborhood groups of houses, beautiful little suburbs, which are part of the constructive plans of the Zionists to erect permanent and attractive settlements for the large immigration that is bound to come in the ensuing years. The 'country and not the city' is the backbone of Jewish colonization work in Palestine. 'Back to the land' is the slogan of the Zionists, and it is surprising to note the marvelous accomplishments of these city-bred pioneers, most of whom are university trained, in building up thriving agricultural colonies on barren sand wastes and Please send me your Society Price Beautifier.

STORY OF A MOTHER WHO TAUGHT HER BOY NOT TO FEAK "What I fear most," said the, mother whose whole life had been influenced by dreads and fears of all kinds, "is that my boy will grow up to suffer as I have. I do everything I can to make him courageous, and I never let him see fear in my eyes or actions. It takes histrionic ability, but so far I believe that he does not know the meaning of fear. "To tell the truth, I do not believe that the fear ingredient was about when his mold was mixed by the gods, but there is no telling what he might not develop, if I am not very careful." Just then the little chap under discussion cime into the room. Two years old, with large eyes, and manly, if unsteady, tread, the little chap looked every inch the man or two he was. And his poise and self-command were remarkable in one so young. Ae he stood beside his mother a terrific thunderstorm brome, the lightning flashed in quick succession and the thunderbolts seemed to strike in front of the house. Kissing his mother, the little chap ran onto the porch. The mother smiled, a brave if frightened smile, and continued: "I am terrified of thunderstorms. This is just one of the times I must use the utmost control. I want to hide in the darkest closet I can find. But I don't. I sit here with my hands clasped tightly together. I don't call him; he loves the storms so. I don't even tell him it is safer within doors than on the porch, because I don't want to implant any fear in his being. But, oh! the strength of character it takes to be wise in motherhood when one is a nervous, fearful person like me!" The storm continued for some time. The mother never moved. Outside on the porch a golden headed youth stamped his little foot as hard as such an uncertain, diminutive foot could be stamped. Whatever the game, he was immensely delighted. As the storm dwindled and the thunder ceased he returned to the side of his mother. Looking up into her eyes commented for approbation: "Muuu, dear, just I a good boy to help God make the funder?" And as the mother patted his hobbled hair the smile she gave him of understanding did not hide from the guerr that in a way it was a smile of victory. —Sun and Globe.

Their principal equipment is their ideulism. A practical American farmer would never consider cultivating some of the land that these young Zionists have restored to its ancient fertility and richness, following centuries of neglect at the hands of the Turks and Arabs. There are now over eighty agricultural colonists in Palestine, with a population of 30,000 and an area of 20,000 cultivated cres. This feat is one of the great miracles of the age. The funds which have made this miracle possible have been supplied chiefly by the Palestine Foundation Fund. Palestine to Trade with Egypt Palestine to Trade with Egypt "This passion to rebuild Palestine, not for a day but for all time, has resulted in the establishment of a splendid and complete system of Jewish education in Palestine, which equals anything I have ever seen in America. At the basis of the system is the ancient Hebrew language once more the everyday language of the people, as it was in Biblical days. I heard arithmetic, geography and astronomy classes reciting their lessons in Hebrew. In another school Maculay's "Lays of Ancient Rome" was being read and explained in perfect English, better English than I am used to hearing in New York. The teacher explained that the older pupils are taught English, French and Arabic. In addition to Hebrew, because they are being educated for the greater Palestine which will do business with Syria, Mesopotamia, Egypt and Europe—even France, England and America." Dr. Silverman, in describing the remarkable accomplishments of the Jewish pioneers in ridding the country of malaria by draining the swamp lands and other sanitary measures, said that he never saw a mosquito all the time he was in Palestine. "If a mosquito makes his appearance in Jerusalem now we call out a company of soldiers and arrest him," Sir Herbert Samuel told him. "Palestine, whose agricultural and hostile cultural prospects are so encouraging, has valuable stone, clay and lime supplies to provide for all its building accessories. Waste Lands Turned Into City Waste Lands Turned Into City "Petroleum beds" have been discovered and the presence of subterranean oil fields has led the Standard Oil Company to prospect for oil near the Dead Sea. There are rich mineral deposits in the Dead Sea, and enough potash to supply the entire needs of the world for the next ten years. Copper and gold have been found there, enough to warrant further exploitation in the hope of opening up rich deposits. Many industries are already flourishing, but Palestine needs capital so that many other industries can be established on a credit basis, and so that more railroads and automobile roads can be built. "Judaism lives in Palestine: as it does no place else in the world," Dr. Silverman concluded. "In Tel-Aviv—that 100 per cent.

Ce méme sentiment a été Goquemment exprimé par Hon, John P.

This message played from a gramaphone recorder. Part of the message read "Chill be loyal to your king and com- always remembering to serve oth- birds you serve your selves." our subjects should be loyal to their land and country, but I am against that argument of serving others before my special on the term in which he used. I am of the opinion, as many other men are, that self comes only serving others before ourselves could only bring us results of being real means and verbs. A diligent lesson is being taught the majors of Cuba. They were taught that self comes first, and they generally practice this lesson on us, as they see we are lacking in its tuition. A Cuban will give a foreigner a job only when he has given all his country men jobs and work still remains. If a foreigner goes to his grocery to purchase, he will serve him only when he has served all his countrymen. I was living near a mine estate in this province, where two men were employed doing the same work, working six hours each, one a Jamaican and the other a Cuban. The Cuban got $2 for six hours, while the Jamaican got $1.75 for his six. This is to show the sort of lesson the Cubans were taught in comparison. A Chinaman may leave China with the intention of going to Jamaica to be a magistrate; an Indian and a Cuban may leave their respective homes for Jamaica with the same intention, but a Jamaican needn't leave Jamaica for Cuba with any other expectation than being a laborer, even if he has clerical training. It is no wonder we have to close away from our respective homes If leave space for foreigners: The Hon. Marcus G-ruvey has shown us and to the whole universe of Negroes the right lesson, one that if we only study will bring us good results, one that will redeem for us our true native land with a government that will protect us. A. A. HAWKINS, Cascades, Camaguey, Cuba. To the Editor of The Negro World: I have read with interest what our great leader, Hon. Marcus Garvey, has said about holding on to Black Star The stock. I am a stockholder, and I hope yet to see our ships again on the high seas and our flag floating to the sea, and our leader's program put through. ALFRED G. MORRIS. CROSS OVER THE BRIDGE TO SUCCESS If you are on the side of the bridge that spells failure, get on the side, that spells success. The only cause for failure in business is lack of publicity given the articles you are selling. It is very hard for one to know what you are marketing unless one reads about it, or someone who has read about it tells the other one who has not. NOW— In order to give publicity too, and get before the people the articles you are trying to sell them, you must first select the medium that will best serve the desired purpose. THE NEGRO WORLD is rated as being the best carrier in the newspapers; therefore it can help you. Place an advertisement in this medium and test its pulling power. Do not delay your crossing over the span between failure and success. Phone or call or write for our special early-year advertising rates. Do so today. Do not wait on time; for it will only mean a harder climb. Harlem 2877 56 West 135th Street NEW YORK CITY H G. SALTUS, Adv. Dept. To the Bittner of The Negro World: Allow me space in your valuable publication to add to your contradictions of Mr. Clarence P. Sealey's article. Who is this Mr. Sealey and from what source has he derived his knowledge of West Indians' satisfaction under the present system of British rule? Such claims can only come from sophisticated Negroes, those who are cornerstones of British oppression in the islands. The gentleman's article is an affront to his intelligence. Is his presence in America for, the purpose of recuperating from a bed of illness, or for the enjoyment of recreational partimes? If so, why has he confined himself to the city, with its polluted oxygen? The Catakill Mountains offer a vigorating atmosphere to convalecents! Also the pleasure resorts of Florida welcome all recreational speakers! My guess is that Mr. Scalley was a resident of a requestered village in one of the smaller islands, so, therefore, is unwise to the trend of current opinion in the islands of importance. If the gentleman would read, the Port of Spain Labor Leader, the Barbados Herald, or any of the all-Negro publications of Grenada; and St. Kitts, he would find the prevalent dissatisfaction among the inhabitants of the island which he says does not exist.

West Indian Seeking Work Have Hard Time of It To the Editor of The Negro World: Please permit me space to make a statement on the existing conditions that our people have to contend with through our protesting government in our so-called home, Jamaica. Our people, who travel from place to place seeking a livelihood, are confronted with the following obstacles. First, they have to leave £5 in the government chest and 7s. to somebody for quarantine fees. After they reach Santiago de Cuba they, whether sick or not, are sent to the workhouse, as I must call it, and not quarantine. There they are starved for 15 days or more, which causes more sickness than anything else. Why I call the attention of the readers of The Negro World to these facts is to show why we of the U. N. I. A. want a government of our own. You will notice further that if a white man or woman should sail on the same ship and pay the same fare they are set free, but the Negroes are sent to this workhouse to spend time. So I am appealing to the race to stick together for the good of ourselves, for what men have done in the past men can do now. As you are fully aware, all these regulations are only for us Negroes. R. G. MURRAY. Camaguay, Cuba. Every One Has His Job To the Editor of the Negro Woman: Every young man is a sower of seed in the field of life. The bright days are the seed time of life.

God never intended that man should expect Film to do for him that, which he should do for himself. After the creation, and after man was given possession of the world, the Creator relinquished all authority to his lord except that which was spiritual. The Negro has for the last five hundred years been in the position of being commanded. Our race has been without a will without a purpose of its own, and because of that we have developed but few men who are able to understand the strenuousness of the age in which we live. A man to succeed must possess the necessary equality to conceive an idea, the capacity to frame it into some tangible shape, the ingenuity to put it into practical operation, the ability to favorably impress others with its morita. In order for man to fill the great scope that God has given him charge ogar in this world, he must have a purpose, fixed, then let his motto be "Victory or Death." The man who weeks one thing in life, and but one, may hope to achieve it, but he who seeks all things wherever he goes only reaps from the hopes which around him he sows. What man has done man can do. Strong men have will, weak ones, wishes. There are many things for our people to learn. First, to be a whole man in whatever you undertake; second, will power, directed by a mind that is often replenished to accomplish the desired result. Third, it takes pluck to stem an unfavorable current. We all can see that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is now steming a very unfavorable current and will do so until the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world will understand one another. A gentleman asked a child who made him. The answer was: "God made me, so long, measuring the length of a baby, and I grew the rest." While the little fellow made a mistake when he left God, out of his growth, there is something in his meaning. So it is with man.

It is up to him what he means of himself. If a man has ability reinforced by energy, the fact is manifest. We see this in the effort put forth by Most Marcos Garay, who when the vision of the Universal Negro Improvement Association was revoked to him, was not included with the revolution himself, but the manifestation of this great vision has startled the world today. The fortunes of mankind depend so much upon themselves that it is entirely legitimate to inquire by what means each may make or mar his own happiness. We, as Negro men, descendants of Africa, a race oppressed by every known nation on the globe, let us awake to the responsibility of man, shoulder our part of the burden of man, and achieve success by redeeming Africa, our motherland. To redeem Africa, let us join hearts and hands with the Universal Negro Improvement Association, whose purpose is "One God, One Alm and One Destiny." Kansas Court Rules Colored Children Cannot Be Barred From High School COFFEYVILLE, Kan.-The question raised here by the action of the school board in excluding Negro children from the junior high school has been definitely settled with the serving of a pre-empty writ, from the Supreme Court, directing the school board members-and Superintendent of Schools, A. I. Decker to at once admit Negro children who are qualified to enter. The court's order stated that the board's action in excluding Negro children was illegal. The court's branding the board members' acts illegal, it was said by a prominent lawyer yesterday, may throw the costs of the case on the members of the board as individuals, instead of the Board of Education. The costs of the case were estimated at about $1,000. When Supt. Decker was seen he said Sciatica, Neuralgic Pain and diseases revised by using S ANTIDOL tittle, if not satisfactory.
