MARCUS GARVEY, President-General, Universal Negro Improvement Association; Greatest Negro Leader, Statesman and Orator Last Speech in New York Before He Leaves on His Nationwide Tour Congressman ROYAL H. WELLER and DR. MARIE LOUISE MONTAGUE, D. C., Two White Friends of the Race ADMISSION, 55 CENTS TICKETS AT OFFICE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION, 56 WEST 135th STREET, NEW YORK BIG MUSICAL PROGRAM Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: The trend of world opinion is toward racial unity. That is to say, every group, within the great human variety, is seeking, through organization, to find a way out to the accomplishment of higher racial ends. We of the Negro race are actuated by a similar desire; hence, the Universal Negro Improvement Association comes forward proclaiming its doctrine of a united race. To further concrete this ideal, we are now calling together the Fourth International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World to assemble in New York City from the 1st to the 31st of August, 1924. This international conclave will, more than any other, shape and direct the future economic, educational, political, social and religious policies of the race. For five years or more the Universal Negro Improvement Association has done more through its organizing force and power to bring together and create a serious vein of thought among Negroes than all the other Negro movements put together. World Sentiment We have succeeded in stirring world sentiment among the race to the point where we are now to assemble, and, in a practical way, make good our profession of seeking to build a stronger, healthier and more independent race. We have brought our organization up to the point where we have won the recognition of other races, and even nations, as a factor in world readjustment; and with this to our credit we are now going forward to the final realization of our needs. New Steamship Line As stated last week, the Association is now promoting, in connection with its African program, the establishment of a new steamship line, which is to supply the need for which the original Black Star Line was intended. It is being planned that, after the close of the convention on the 31st of August, providing the members of the Association supply the necessary funds, according to request, the first ship ALL NEGROES ASKED TO CO-OPERATE AND PUT PROGRAM OVER SLOGAN FOR 1924, "LET'S PUT IT OVER" RACE COMING TOGETHER EVERYWHERE BIG MEETING AT CARNEGIE HALL, NEW YORK, NEXT THURSDAY NIGHT of the new line will sail for Liberia with the first large organized group of colonists, to settle there as citizens of that country, to help in its industrial, commercial, agricultural and educational development. Entry Into Worldly Affairs The Negro needs ships to establish himself, not only in trade relationship with his brothers across the seas, but to also mark his entry into the world of big affairs. Ships are the most accommodating means of international transportation, and now, that the Negro is about to readjust himself as a national entity, he must not expect to be conveniently provided for by other peoples; but he must do in that direction for himself. The big white shipping concerns have established passenger and trade routes between certain points of the world for the accommodation of their own peoples. We find large passenger boats running between America and Europe, taking from the one continent year by year millions of emigrants to the new land, America, and taking back to Europe from America the wealth of that great country. So in a like manner should the Negro develop a trade route between Africa, America and the West Indies. Appeal to the Entire Race The need for it is now more than ever, and we appeal to the four hundred million Negroes of the world to rally to the Black Cross Naviga- tion and Trading Company and the Universal Negro Improvement Association in helping to put over the new program of 1924 and 1925. Our slogan for the present year is "Let's put it over," and we are going to put it over. We are going to put over every bit of our program that seeks to the higher development and progress of our race. We are going to do it with a spirit of fraternal love. We are going to do it with a spirit of racial comradeship. We are going to do it, notwithstanding the opposition within our own race and the opposition from without. Racial Emancipation The hour has indeed struck for racial emancipation; and we must all make up our minds to go the whole length in this direction. I do not falter by the wayside. Let us not f2/ to grasp the seriousness of the hour, but let us push ahead, having before us the grand objective of our race emancipated and our country redeemed. With very best wishes for your success I have the honor to be Your obedient servant. President-General. Universal Negro Improvement Association. New York, April 1, 1924. P. S. I cannot too often emphasize the need of members, officers and divisions of the Association carrying out their constitutional obligations to the Parent Body of the Association at this time. Now, more than ever, the Association needs the financial and moral help of all its members and auxiliaries. You can help to a great extent by paying in your annual tax, which became due from the 1st of January, as well as by paying in your regular dues to our local divisions, and see that your local secretaries make their regular monthly reports to headquarters. Help us to put over the program. Help us to work for the accomplishment of bigger things. WASHINGTON, March 11 (Correspondence of Ambassador of Denmark)—Josean Baptist Hammel, a lihang burglary, died recently on the island of Re, a convict prison, transportation to Davall's hunging to serve a sentence of twenty years. Had he lived a few weeks longer, pardoned and freed he might have been acclaimed in Paris as the hero of one of the most-dramatic episodes of counter espionage during the war, which brought to the French high command most valuable information. Early curfew laws and stern police regulations made it impossible to glimpse of hostilities made Paris undesirable to Travail in his chosen profession and he emigrated to Switzerland. While Alain Bern in learned that in the safe of the Austrian ambassador to Switzerland there could be found documents, which if in the hands of the French War Office would prove of invaluable assistance in fighting espionage within the French frontiers. Without consulting any one, requesting no assistance or protection, Travail gained entrance to the Austrian embassy one night and was confronted with one of the most modern safes to the door of which an infernal machine set to explode the moment it was tampered with had been attached. Travail simply turned the ground and went to work from the rear. Nitro-glycerine was out of the question and Travail had to work with drills, which he adapted to the electric light on the ambassadorial desk. Dawn was breaking when the patriotic burglar finally obtained possession of the documents and the caretaker was just entering to clean the offices. He sodded, a couple of bullets, through a rear window and it presented itself in charge of the French secretary in Switzerland a full list of German and Austrian spies operating in France and another of those working in Italy. Proved of Great Aid This occurred in 1917 and was greatly instrumental in causing the arrest of numerous spies and the breaking up of the German espionage system in France. Travail refused to accept any refinement whatsoever from the French Government. He also failed to turn over to the officer along with the documents a sum of 20,000 lire which had been in the Antibushador's safe. During the long trial which resulted in his conviction last April Travail, with great fortune, refrained from referring to the Bern episode. He kept the case under wraps, but bright initiative of his arrest in Jauanejo and his subsequent escape from the ship white lying at the Azores, when managed and chained he jumped through a porthole and swam ashore. It was only when the shadow of Levill's island began to loom that he decided to talk. His pardon was on President Millerand's desk and would have been signed in the course of a day or two when he died. Look After Your Health Do you want to live longer?

Examinations are made on the fourth Wednesday of each month from 2 to 4 p. m. STOMACH TROUBLES ARE DUE TO ACIDITY Tella, Safe, Certain, Speedy Relief for Acid Indigestion So-called stomach troubles, such as indigestion, gas, sourness, stomach-scheduled nausea and vomiting, a barely nine case out of ten simply evidence that excessive secretion of acid is taking place in the stomach, causing the formation of gas and acid indigestion. The stomach and the stomach acid that full, oppressive, burning feeling sometimes known as heartburn, while the acid irritates and inflames the digestive tract, causes pain and causes entirely in the excess development or secretion of acid. To stop or prevent this souring of the stomach and acid neutralize the acid, and make it bland and harmless, a teaspoonful of Bisulfated magnesium, a good and effective director of acid stomach, should be used. Acid stomach should be acid water after eating or whenever gas, sourness or acidity is felt. This sweetens the stomach and neutralizes the acidity in a few moments and is a perfectly humilious and insensitive remedy to it. An antiflock, such as Biorated Magnesium, which can be obtained from any drugstore in either powder or tablet form, contains the stomach to do its work. In the form of a liquid, it is called Biorated Magnesium, comes in liquid form, so be certain to ask for and take only Biorated Magnesium, which is especially prepared for the HAFFIAN JOURNALISTS ABUSED IN PRISON TO THE BANNER OF THE NEGATIVE WORLD. For the edification of your readers and that of the American people as a whole, I am writing to inform you of the following facts: Six weeks or so ago a few American reporters went over to Haifi for the purpose of investigating conditions in the island. But the Haifians, not knowing anything about their intended visit, could not send a committee to welcome and take them around to see the havoc the American occupation has wrought in everything pertaining to the very life of the nation. They were, instead, O. derision, cliceroned by the very officers at whose hands we have suffered so much, and who have shed the Haifian blood with so much profusion. No use telling you that the reporters were not shown what would have provoked the ire of the American people, in whose name so many crimes have been committed. Today the reporters were to visit the prison. Messara Jolibols Fils, Elie Guerin, Antonie Pirese-Pau, Georges Petit, Sainav and Lemair were locked in their cells so they could not talk to them: Anyway, on noticing that locked door, one of the reporters asked who the prisoners behind it were. Gen. MacDougall and Lleut. Johnson, who were showing them around, answered: "They are politicians who, during the war, took up arms in favor of the Germans" Mr. Pierre-Pau, who understands and speaks English, heard the conversation, and realizing what it was all about, yelled out: "It's a lie! Come over here, journalist, come over here, and we will tell you all about our crimes" and with the door between them, Mr. Pierre-Pau told him how, for having denounced, In the "Courier Hatlain" and other papers, the misdeeds and exactions of all kinds of the occupation they were thrown in jail, over six months ago, where they are experiencing all kinds of sufferings and humiliations. It was after the reporters had left that Leut. Johnson, enraged, beat the prisoners and exposed them naked in the yard of the prison under the hot, tropical sun, hoping they would die from its effects. How long is the Washington government going to allow its representatives to treat the Haitians in such a barbarous and unclevized way? Once more we appeal to the American people to sweat us from the brutal hands of the occupation, which are crushing us to death, so as to prevent any stains to be brought on the fair name bequeathed to them by Washington and Lincoln, the fathers of democracy. Yours very sincerely. JOSEPH MIRAULT. New York, March 29. EGYPT'S CONSUL ARRIVES Representative of King Fuad to Promote Commerce Ties Between U. S. and Egypt Ramses Chefey arrived here from Egypt yesterday as the first Egyptian Consul to New York under the new ruler, King Fuad I. He shortly will open an office, employing a native staff, in an effort to promote commercial ties that link the United States and Egypt. The Consul, who prefers to be called Mr. Chafey, received reporters in his suite on the twelfth floor of the Valdorf-Astorin shortly after he arrived on the Belgienland. He is a tall, distinguished-looking man and is a Mohammedan. He admitted that he had never heard a radio. He spelled out in English the correct pronunciation of King Tuts' full name as "Toot-ankh-Amon," with emphasis on the "ankh." He of course did not recognize the name "King Tut," but seemed to like the American abbreviation, and also stated that he liked the American designation of "movies" for motion pictures much better than the English term "cinema." He said from the little he had seen of New York he had been impressed chiefly by the significance of its buildings. He said he had 11,000 Americans, mostly tourists and 11,000 Americans, winter and told how Americans in his country were taking a leading get in the extension thereof of education. (He pointed out that cotton was the chief product of Egypt and spoke of plans being made to harness the cataracts of the Nile for industry. Mr. Chafey" said he brought the greetings of his compatriots in Egypt to the people of this country and he helped to develop closer relations. He said he had been sent to Europe for a commercial education, and that after being a professor at the Government commercial schools in Cairo he had lectured in business science and had become an inspector of commercial education. Mr. Chafey is still in Egypt and will join his husband later. They have a three-year-old son. The two brothers, the Conauca office will be El-Said Mohammed, who is called "chief of office" and Mahmoud-Badi. HOW BRITISH SUBJECTS IN THE WEST INDIES ARE 'SATISFIED' NOT British Minute in Honduras Shown by a Native Journalist to Be Crushing the Life Out of Black Subjects—What's the Matter With Scallow? WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH THE CRY OF "AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS"? To the Editor of the Negro World: Mr. Clarence F. Sealey informs the American Negro through the "Amsterdam News" that West Indians are satisfied. A blacker lie was never told. Permit me to uncover some facts for Mr. Sealey and the American Negro relative to the treatment meted out to members of the race by the British mercenaries. I am a witness by accident. I am foreign correspondent for "The Bellz Independent," an all-Negro weekly newspaper, and "The Methodist Record," a religious monthly publication. British Honduras has an area of 8,538 square miles, aid a population of 45,000 (census of 1921), only 50 of those being whites. It is a Crown Colony, and an such as a damnable disgrace to British colonial rule. The government is administered by European despots, with four high-brown Negroes as lackeys. The present governor is Sir Eryre Huston, K. C. M. G. an ill-mannered tyrant. "Coming events cast their shadows before." When Sir Eryre was appointed governor of the colony he was Governor of the Fill Islands. A few weeks before he arrived at Bellize, the customs authorities met His Excellency through the arrival of several cases of whisky addressed to him. His regime has been one of sorrow for the poor Negroes, who are taxed beyond their capacity to pay. The usual manner in which he has squandered money has brought the colony to the precipice of bankruptcy. His term ends. In December of this year, and agitation to have him recalled is well under way. This writer is taking an active part in ousting this tyrant, and has recommended a Negro to fill the vacancy, the Hon. Hector Joseph of Kingston, Jamaica, assistant attorney general. The administration of British Honduras is guided by the selfish influences of a handful of European merchants and landowners, with the United Fruit Company in the van. There are three dictators in British Honduras bent on enslaving the natives. They are, the French, the British, the Colonial Treasurer, and Mr. Agar, District Commissioner, now acting attorney general. Industrial Slavery Here are some atrocities perpetrated on the natives that will illuminate Mr. Scaley's grasp of conditions in the West Indies: The chief sources of employment are the mahogany and chicle industries. The wages of these woodcutters and gum bleachers range from $12.00 to $30.00 per month. Their ration consists of flour, corn and pork. The conditions under which they labor reduce them to the level of peons. They are no better than the helpless Negroes who are chained to Marse Charles' farm down in Georgia and Mississippi. Farmers and agriculturists have no means of getting their products to the markets. Transportation is by water, always dangerous and uncertain. There are no roads nor highways. Overland journey is made by horseback, with miles as carriers. There's but one railway, 25 miles long, in the Stann Creek district. "Religion a Farce" Religion is a force. Negro ministers use the faithless of the displeased to fear the faithless of the displeased to The New York "Tattler," of March 35, in the course of a leading article, makes some apposite comment on the cry of the Negro, "Africa for the Africans," as follows: "It is the aspiration of all people worthy the name to govern themselves. Irishmen like Mayor Hylan are predominating influences in American politics, finance and industry, and we dare say they intend to remain in this country and make the most of the splendid opportunities it affords them; but they have given freely of moral support and their abundance of wealth to make the most of fighting and hoping, and they are ready and willing to further spend and be sparer if Ireland should have need. They have won the long-drawn-out fight of Ireland for Irishmen, and memorable victory it has been in the history of mankind. Now, then, what about Africa for Africans? Why is there so much opposition among Negroes to the cry of the soul for free Africa? Millions have no desire, to return to Africa; they are satisfied in the places where they are; but they should have the spirit of the Jew towards the 'redemption of the Holy Land for Jews and the Irish Free State for Ireland, and they should contribute freely of moral sentiment and money for missionary uplift, so generally operated by our churches, and for propaganda intended to arouse the Negro everywhere to bear potent potentials as a man, with possibilities in the dangers of unnavigable rivers, creeks and lagoons. They must keep company with the mosquitoes, anakes, alligators and flies, while their white brethren remain in the capital and on the seacost. Their only recreation is a trip to Bellez during the annual Synods of their denominations. They are seldom permitted to sit with their white colleagues or grace a program when the government officials are in attendance. "Education a Myth" Education is a myth. Loyola College Catholic, is exclusively an institution for boys from the neighboring republics. Only natives of color and foreign blood are admitted. The Wesleyan High School, and the Diocese High School for girls (Anglican), prepare native boys and girls for the Cambridge local examinations. If successful, they are dumped in the government service to slave the rest of their natural lives. Education is elementary and secondary. The churches attend to the former for a consideration. The latter is a private undertaking in connection with some religious body. School teachers are employed at starvation wages. Those in the country are forced to till the soil in addition, to keep the wolf from the door. Degrading Negro Women European morality as it affects native women is 'on par with Arthur Brilbane's brothers below the Masony-Dixon Line. Negro women are but "carral conveniences" for young Englishmen. Some years ago a native girl of a "compleptus family" became the wife of an Anglican priest. A child was born. The priest was assigned to duty somewhere in England. He went, but not his wife and child. I can name a dozen native women in Belize who have been betrayed and degraded by uncouth and treacherous Englishmen. A German wilfully alienated the affection of the wife of a respectable native, a member of the civil service. He got away with it for $500. This particular case, which is on the records of the Supreme Court, reads like a tale from the South Sea Islands. A bank manager bequeathed a pair of boys to a native girl, a neighbor of ours. He got away with it for a song. Teaching the Boss The native civil servants are the uncrowned heads of the government departments. Their duty is to teach their European houses and stay in their places. Recently, the position of Colonial Treasurer became vacant, Mr. Vyvyan Grey-Wilson, a proficient native official, was next in line for the post. He was passed, for the second time, and Gerald Smith, the dictator appointed to the position. The same thing occurred in the Audit Department when the former Tennyson another proficient native official next in line for promotion. He was passed for a European, Gerald Smith was Postmaster before his appointment to the Treasury, Mr. H. D. Beaumont, another proficient native official, was appointed in his place, but the Governor reduced his salary. When Mr. Agar, acting Attorney General, assumed his position at District Commissioner, his first act was to impress the natives that he was lord of his realm. There's a law that all vats and barrels, water receptacles, (Continued on page 5) himself to build States and govern himself wisely and enjoy a reasonable part of the wealth created by his labor and which now enriches others for the most part and leave him poor indeed. "There are plenty Negroes who believe that Marcus Garyey is an enemy of the Negro people who should not be allowed to breathe the same free air they breathe, because he has raised the contention, "Africa for the Africans" to which Negroes in all parts of the world are responding. "The day before St. Patrick's Day, Sunday, March 16, Hercules staged an afternoon and evening meeting at Madison Square Garden, which was attended by thousands of people, some of whom want to go to Africa when conditions are ripe for it, and some of whom, perhaps, the larger number sympathize with the world-movement to save Africa for the Africans, and are ready and willing to give freely of their moral and financial resources to further the movement. It is the proper spirit. It will accomplish much for the betterment of conditions for the Negro people everywhere. We are prepared to hope that the day will come when they can rejoice because Africa is free; but deep-down in the heart of every thinking Mongol, we believe there is an inperducible desire that Africa will wake up from her long sleep and secure her place in the sun. That is the way we feel about it." THE LATE SIR ROBERT L. POSTON "A Princely Gentleman." Says Noted Pittsburgh Editor The Universal Negro Improvement Association his my sincere sympathy in the loss of such a splendid officer, strong supporter, militant defender and loyalist. I have had the pleasure of personal acquaintance with Mr. Poston and was an admirer of his sturdy qualities, congenial disposition and courage as man, citizen and worker. For the cause of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. He impressed me as a princely gentleman, entirely worthy of the respect and confidence of his friend, associates and the many he was seeking to serve on the mission which took him to Liberia. I have ended my connection with the Pittsburgh American and am no longer related to it in any manner whitethoever. The Commonwealth Spokesman—Negro National Monthly—which I am now editing, has been born in keeping with certain ideas and principles by which I have been accustomed. The first number is out this week. However, if the matrix is received, I will interest myself in placing the matter before the American management. Very, truly yours, HANDY L. KEITH. The Commonwealth Spokesman. 804. Wylie avenue, Pittsburgh, Pa. Detroit Has a Sense Of a Personal Loss To the Editor of the Negro World: March 18, at about 5 p.m., the official news of the death of Sir R. L. Poston, secretary-general of this association, was received and was a shock to our entire audience. As Sir R. L. Poston was the product of the Detroit Division, we cannot but grieve for the loss of so brave, so gallant, so loyal, so particle and so uncompromising a son of his race. Words are inadequate to express the feelings of the members of the Detroit Division, who were killed this morning, when during his affiliation with the Universal Negro Improvement Association, proved to the world and to the Negro race especially that he believed in the higher development of his race. Long before his affiliation he fought through the medium of his newspaper, the Detroit Contender, and the municipal courts of the city of Detroit for Negro rights and freedom. But seeing and knowing that the Negro, to attain those previous gifts for which he (Sir A. L. Poston) was fighting, must have been a great pendence and nationhood, knowing the alms, and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, he became a member of the Detroit Division. Subsequently he attended the 1921 convention in the city of New York and the president-general, Hon. Marcus Garvey, who knew men when he, sees them, procured for this young man an elected position at headquarters. In this young man was ever betrayed, for he proved his worth. Negroes, four hundred million stong, should consider the death of Sir R. L. Poston, a just cause for continuing the night for African redemption. Dear Sir:—Kindly permit one space in the columns of your valuable paper to say a word in tribute to our secretary-general of the U. N. L. A. and A. C. L. Dear brothers and sisters, how can we attempt to be comforted in this bitter affliction which has befallen us? Words are but empty things at best, and I feel for more than I can say. I heartiest I. Boston wants to the U. N. L. A. one of the highest treasures. He has left us, but we yet hope to see him again where sorrow and parting are no more. Yet, trust in God, dear fellow men, and, hard though it may seem, remember that He deeth all things will. Your memory of him will be as an indecent, unquoted soul. He has escaped the weariness, the tolls, the struggles, and temptations of this chequered life and who shall say, sorrow-laden as we are, that it is not better so? That a higher than human power may console and support us under the heavy stroke is my earnest prayer. A. H. BISPHAN. A. H. BISPHAN. Cambridge Division, Mass.

He endured himself to this division by his gentlemanly bearing and sweet disposition, when he visited the division at different times. His earnestness in the work of the missionaries in his pervasive manner and friendly ways, full of the highest dignity, always won for him what his chief sent him out to accomplish. No wonder that his mission to Europe and Africa was such a signal success. Brother Ponton, we mourn your demise. We miss your good advice and council. Your labor in the field of racial usefulness has been short, but the results have been great. You have written your name high on the scroll of Negro fame, which will never be erased. Generations yet unborn will know of your work, in the interest of this rejuvenated race. Yes, we shall erect monuments to your name and glory on the banks of those great rivers in our motherland, Africa. No. departed brother, we shall never forget the service you have rendered to this race in its initial fight for a place in the sun. Sleep on, beloved, sleep, and take thy re t.

Poston, secretary-general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, as a brave, as honest, as an able and as brave man, the race has produced, fell fighting for a cause In which he sincerely billed, Mr. Poston was a Garveyville and he was no "foreigner" (West Indian) either. He was from an honored and respected family in Kentucky, but allurement to say, intell- gent though he was, he was convinced that the salvation of the race lay in going back to Africa. We differ widely from Mr. Poston's views, but we freely admit that he was one of the most brilliant men Marcus Garvey had at his command. And Poston was trio his chosen allegiance. For that we respect him. We regret his death—Lloyd J. Calvin in the Pittsburgh Courier. Teach the Little Children Let us not be discouraged by the death of our brother and co-worker, Robert L. Poston. Let us strive to be as high as he. Let his work and his life be an inspiration to us. When ever the day seems dark and dreary, let us think what Robert L. Poston would have done. Let us teach our children, to do the same. Keep the image of Poston constantly before them; just as they revere and respit the great men of other races. Teach them to respect Robert L. Poston. He died for his race that we may one day be recognized as a race. He is dead, but yet he lives. Let us follow faithfully in his footsteps and teach our children to do so.

PLEA FOR A UNITED SYRIA Arab Patriot Asks American Aid Toward Independence—Attacks French Oppressors Plea for American support to establish a united and independent Syria was made on March 27 by Dr. Abdulrehman S. Shabbender of Damascus, a Syrian patriot, who spoke at a dinner given at the Hotel Astor by the National Independence Party of Syria in New York and the Fabastine National League. Dr. Shabbender attacked the French oppressors of Syria and the Zionists as a small minority seeking to impose their will on the Arab population which vastly outnumber the Jews in Palestine. He said that the national government organized in 1918 gave Syria the happiest period in its history. "But," he continued. "France was only too eager, to render its support to Syria more substantial and effective. Hence, she gave $5,000 troops, three-quarters of whom were black Senegalese, to scolish the national government and suppress the representative council and to put in its stead a ruthless military government and a council against the formation of which the whole country protested." "Today Syria is torn into three separate parts, governed by three different governments, each using and teaching a separate language and a separate civilization—Prasan being in the north, England with the Zionites in the south and our kriegmen in Transjordania. "Let me say here that great Britain is not more sincere with the Jewish cause than she has with the cause of the Arabs, and that we believe she is using the Jews as a buffer between the French in the north and, the Jews Canal in the south." (From the New York Times.) WASHINGTON, March 28.—The Philippine independence situation has assumed a new phase through the action of the Senate Committee on Territories and Inular Possessions in adopting tentatively a plan proposing a plebiscite of the Filipinos in 1935 on the question of granting complete self-rule to the islands. This plan has been drafted in the form of a bill based on a measure introduced by Senator King of Utah, and has been submitted to Secretary Weeks to obtain an expression of his views. President Coolidge and Secretary Weeks conferred on the new plan today. The King bill provides for a general election in the Philippines of delegates to a constitutional convention drafted for the institution for an independent government. Six months after independence is proclaimed by the President of the United States the military forces in the islands are to be withdrawn, according to the terms of Senator King's measure. Senator King said this evening that he was not present when the Senate committee voted to recommend that an independence plebiscite be held in 1835, and he was opposed to that provision. The action of the Senate committee is important, as it indicates that the question of Philippine independence will be brought to the front in the present session of Congress, with a view to testing sentiment of the Senate and the House. In the Philippine the independence and anti-independence elements are both anxious that some definite declaration in regard to the islands shall be made by Congress in May 1835. In Philippine take the attitude that as long as Philippines take no positive declaration by Congress the agitation of Filipino politicians for independence will continue, with the certainty that investments in Philippine enterprises will be discouraged and the economic situation will remain in its present unatisfactory state. This view is held also by Americans in this country who have investments in the Philippines. Chance for Expression by Congress The proposal to have a plebiscite on a fixed date, even if eleven years in the future, is regarded as being sufficiently definite to furnish opportunity for a positive declaration of Philippine policy by Congress. Should the committee bill be defeated, that course might be interpreted as showing that the opposition to the independence of the Philippines must mediate future, but it probably would not be considered as such an effectual stop to political agitation as an affirmative declaration against granting independence within a longer period, or the adoption of a definite plan for the future government of the islands under American supervision. The proposal has not cauled President Coolidge to modify the views as to Philippine independence which he expressed in a recent letter to Speaker Roxas of the Philippine House of Representatives, who was in Washington as the head of an independence mission, that letter the President made known that he believed independence for the Philippines would be detrimental future would be detrimental the interests of the Filipino people, politically and economically. He rejected as unworthy the frequent suggestion that, as the Philippines were of no benefit to the United States and a constant source of danger to the interests of this country, they should be abandoned as a political liability.

Lt- beria offers those of us individually who plan to.take-part in it individu- ally the opportunity''for building that Sig business necessary to make the race respected everywhere: Libera, with her 40,000 square miles of rich. alluvial land—Liberia, with her vast Umber foreste—Lideria, with -her-aing. her coal, her copper* and _ diamond mines—with her'oil fields and her 350 miles of coast line—Liberia, with Ler vast, untouched resources, offers to the ambitious, energetic, capable Ne- ty-tor -tecom-= Ing a man. Her 350 miles of coast line beckon and call for harbors, ware- houses and docks; her mines ere simply waiting for the touch of acien- tific apparatus to exploit her untold treasures. Hor forests awalt the touch of the axe and the buzz of the saw- mill. These untouched resources in Liberia are simply awaiting the genius; the ability, and the finance of Ne- gtoee who are able to take advantage of them. Liberia calls for Negroes with ambition—Negroes wlo are able t» work and see the mountains not simply with Its woods and rooks, but who are able to see shafts sunk deep into the bowels bringing to the sur- face precious mincrals for export to the various countries -of- the world; men who are able to stand in: the for- ents and see in their mind's eye those giant trees turned into beautiful hommes and cottages; those giant trees made Into every concelvable thing that you can make out of wood; men who are able to see with their mind's eyes its harbors dredxed, docks bullt; men who can go to that vast, untouched terri- tory of Liberia and see there a mighty nation, of flourishing cities ‘and see thers great corporatiéne and centers of industries, Become Producers . + Liberia offers to the race that op- portunity of becoming not only. con- sumers in the world, but becoming the producera of those things we must consume. You know, we as @ race today are simply a race of consumers. As Mr.-Garvey said to me @ couple of days ago, practically everything that we of the. raco have bullt up fn America which we boat of Is consumed, tn our-banks, our Insurance companien, our grocery stores, Dost of our prog- rons as much a3 you want, but all ix on tho end of consumption.

Name: sisisuniwacestces vations) Address .-- ems esrereeces cece Oe of Mississippi. The Nation, on April 2, says: "A group of Negroes has been faced artificially and courageously enough to voice his wrongs; a white legislature has listened to some unpleasant home truths; if Mississippi is not made a fit dwelling place for colored men and women, they will leave, and the economic life of the State will collapse. These facts seem to offer some hope for Mississippi." What The Nation concludes as to Mississippi may be reasonably concluded as to all of the Southern States that are grievously feeling the loss of their Negro labor in the migrant movement. The American Cotton Association's attention is called to this phase of the subject, in which the boll weevil is made entirely responsible for the loss of labor in the cotton fields. Yes; the South needs its Negro labor; but it can't keep it unless it treats it better than it has been doing in all the things that make life worth living. We believe the South is beginning to see it in this way. THE MOST POPULAR AND LEAST READ OF BOOKS It is considered the proper thing among Christian people to have a Bible in the house, "The Family Bible," in which are recorded family marriages, births and deaths, but it is not considered the proper thing to read the Bible. If it is considered the proper thing it is seldom done. Most people talk glibly about the Bible, Shakespeare, Milton and the Constitution of the United States, but comparatively few have read either of or all of them from cover to cover. It is difficult to give a reason for this disposition, to exalt without knowing much about the things which we exalt. In the old days the reading of the Bible was considered more of a duty, and Sunday school and Church attendance more of an obligation, than is now true. The average person is not so devout as he used to be, and the disposition to become less so appears to be a pronounced tendency, not only in the United States but in Europe, among Protestants, Catholics being as devout and regular in church attendance as they ever were. The American Bible Society distributed during the past year 2,130,000. Bibles in the United States and more than 4,000,000 in Central and South America, which leads the Christian Recorder to say: "This shows that no book is as popular today as the Bible, and no book has ever been as popular in the history of the world as the Bible." But how far this extraordinary circulation depends upon free distribution, made possible by the subsidies of those who can afford it and who desire that the Bible shall be in the hone of every family, should not be overlooked. And the fact that so many people have the Bible and that so few read it, is significant. It is the same way with the creed of the church which a person may join; he does not often read the creed and cannot always give a reason for his faith based on his creed if put to the test. It appears to be true that the Bible is the most popular and widely circulated and yet the least read of books. This in the face of the fact that the American people are among the greatest readers of books and periodicals in the world. This may be true because Protestants do not take their religion seriously; they take it and use it to serve their purposes without knowing much about it, and their purposes are not always consistent with Christian philosophy; in fact, most of their purposes are not, and that it is which is troubling Christian peoples everywhere today. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS The Negro World does not knowingly accept questionable or fraudulent advertising. Readers of the Negro World are necessarily requested to invite our attention to any failure on the part of an advertiser to adhere to any representation contained in a Negro World advertisement. NATIVE AFRICANS NO LONGER REGARD WHITES AS "GODS" THERE has been a marvellous awakening among the British subjects of Africa during the past five years. During the life of the Universal Negro Improvement Association those people, like the Negroes of the United States, West Indies and Latin America, have been aroused to the fact that they are also people and entitled to some of the advantages of civil and ecclesiastical administration and economic production which hedge them about and which are for the most part dominated by white Christians, the statesmen of which, at least, proceed upon the base principle laid down by Chief Justice Roger B. Taney, of the Supreme Court of the United States, that "It is held to be good law and precedent that the black man has no rights that the white man is bound to respect." When dead people wake up live people who have wronged them naturally feel uncomfortable about it, as they are uncertain as to the accounting that will be demanded of them. What part the Universal Negro Improvement Association has had in awakening the dead Negroes of the world is a matter of record which the who runs may read." Upon the visit of a deputation of the London Missionary Society to South Africa, quite recently, a banquet was tendered them at which Premier Jan Christian Smuts was the most prestigious speaker. Among other things, Premier Smuts said: "Our institutions we were looked upon as gods by the Natives. Unfortunately that is not the position any longer. We are not looked upon as gods any more. Perhaps it is better so. I believe in truth, honesty and sincerity, and no man or woman should be put upon a higher pedestal than he or she deserves." That is a great deal for Premier Smuts to say, and it must not be overlooked that he said it after and not before the Natives ceased to regard the whites as "gods." He things "the tendency is to go too far in the other direction," and "to look upon the white men as enemies to be destroyed," along with the "white man's religion." But his idealism is to "found a great white civilization on this Continent, not only for ourselves but for the 100,000,000 blacks who are living there." The Filipinos who have been told they are not ready to have their independence granted, them do not like it at all and threaten to introduce Mahatma Gandhi's policy of non-cooperation with the Americans in anything as the best way to win what they want, as the East Indians appear to be doing under Gandhi.—Norfolk Journal and Guide. American Negroes will never be appreciated as fitted for the duties, responsibilities and obligations of citizenship until they rid themselves of the handicap of political office brokers pretending public interest. It is pitiful that after fifty-saving years of freedom and nominal citizenship the race has not yet produced more leaders of large mental and moral calibre. There was never a time when the race was in greater need of leaders who can mount a broad platform of public duty without the selfish thought of political office and financial gain. We truly have too many out and out ward-heeled and peanut politicians pretending national political leadership. Spare us, Good Lord, spare The people and forsake us not during this time of our dilemma. — Pittsburgh American. But the blacks are beginning to show that they want their own civilization, in the development of it, and their own religion, in the evolution of it, and what they want and what Premier Smuts wants are not the same, and will not develop along the same lines, not by far. It is this fine but radical difference which the Universal Negro Improvement Association emphasizes and insists upon and which distinguishes it from all of the existing race organizations we have in the Occident and the Orient, and which our African contemporaries are more and more stressing as the main things to be contended for—the development of an African civilization and philosophy in keeping with the African temperaments and needs. Words, and expressions like money have values. It requires care and caution to use the proper words in the proper place. Big words have no value nor meaning because of their sound or size.

"The white god myth" is exploding itself everywhere among black and off-color people it rules and robs. THE SOUTH SAYS IT NEEDS ITS NEGRO LABOR THERE is a movement on foot in Atlanta among those who "take the position that the American cotton crop is the Nation's most valuable staple" to discourage migration and to encourage white and Negro workers to remain on the farms and learn how to overcome the boll weevil menace by scientific methods," by a "comprehensive program to rehabilitate, the cotton growing industry and reconstruct the purchasing and debt-paying power of the 2,000,000 cotton planters," and by locating and operating 5,000 cotton demonstration farms of five to eight acres each. "For the most approved, and successful methods of cotton culture and boll weevil control." And we are told that "selected intelligent and energetic white and Negro farmers will operate these demonstration farms." If it is true that Roland Hayes, the distinguished colored tenor, is to be married to a wealthy white English woman, he will, in doing so, be a great disappointment to many of his race in this country. While we believe in absolute equality of races and believe that a man and woman should follow the dictation of their hearts, under normal circumstances, yet until the interpersonal problems have become spiritually and medically solved, we think it best for all concerned for one to marry in one's own race—Portland Advocate. Now, all this sounds good and encouraging to us; but it does not go far enough. The American Cotton Association can easily strengthen its position and do much to save Southern labor, both black and white, from migrating, by adopting and insisting upon the carrying out in the administration of the laws the recent recommendations of Governor Whitfield of Misslssippi in his inaugural address. Negroes make up slightly more than one-half the population of the State, and the Governor says that "any plans for a new era, any change in our economic life, any reorganization of our agriculture or industry which leaves them out is doomed to failure." He thinks they should have better safeguarding of their health, education and justice, and that "wise leaders among the Negroes must be encouraged in their splendid efforts to aid their own people." He calls upon the police power of the State to prevent lynching, and upon employers of tenant and other labor to see that justice is done, that "the life and property of Negroes be safe guarded." Until the recommendations of Governor Whitfield become the policy of all of the Southern States they will continue to lose under Negro labor. Why not? We speak of adults as though the untrained exocrits of the males make men happy. Not so. The text of hapiness is plainly applicable to duty. Men can be roughly divided into three classes: those who dislike duty and refuse to do it; those who desire it and drive themselves to it with reluctant Consent; those who do their duty and thoroughly enjoy it. Representatives of the last class are far too scarce. One of the sadest facts in human life is the general infatuation which has everywhere obliterated duty is grim, hard, forbidding, and that 4f one wishes to be happy he would better break away from it.—Nashville Clarion.

Corveyism a Dynamic Force From the Illinois Conservator Carveyism, understood: Is a dynamic force of great potentiality. Knowledge is truth that cannot be overthrown by any process of testing ONE PLACE WHERE THE NEGRO IS THE WHOLE IT. By T. Thomas Fortune There are two sorts of people everywhere. They seem inseparable. In all of such history as we have we find the two sorts in the same situation, each pursuing their way; each, apparently, fulfilling the purposes of their creation, although we are not always able to determine what those purposes are and are seldom able to control them for the common welfare. The one sort are composed of those who build who create something; and the other sort are composed of those who tear down what others build, who destroy what others create, when they are strong enough, when they are subtle enough, to do 4t. We call it affirmative and negative force, which when the positive force is absent, as is often the case, works all the horrors of a World War, which may threaten the civilization of the times. Builders, Creators, have always been held in the highest appreciation. They write their names in the Book of Life who make something, who create something, worth while. On the other hand, those who go about rearing down and defacing and defaming the good works of others write their names in the Book of Death and are generally execrated by their fellows. That is as it should be, and as it was in the beginning, when God created and made everything, and "saw that it was good," and destroyed nothing nor advised any of his creatures to do so. After the Christmas Holidays, in 1921, I found myself at Mound Bayou, in Bolivar County, Mississippi, the guest of Hon. Eugene P. Booze, the splendid son-in-law of Hon. Isaiah T. Montgomery, whose death has just been announced. Mr. Montgomery was an extraordinary character. All the more so because he had been educated in the hard school of American slavery. And he was educated. He was trained in the management of large affairs and in working in sympathy and cooperation with large bodies of men. He was of the pure African type. He laid the foundations and built the superstructure of Mound Bayou, a town with 1,500 householders and a country population of more than 30,000, all of whom regarded Mr. Montgomery as their father, as their reader, and came to him in all of the relations of life and always found him sympathetic and helpful. He was indeed the Patriarch of his people. I felt in Mound Bayou as if I were in the one place in the United States where the Negro is the whole it. There are no white people living in the town, it is owned and uled by Negroes, and they are so law-abiding as to make police supervision negligible. Laws are hardly made for decent and orderly people. Such a people are those of Mound Bayou and its immediate neighborhoods. The unmistrate, the postmistress the station and express agents, the telegraph and telephone operators, the bankers, the store keepers, the teachers in the $100,000 school house, the owners and operators of the cotton, oil gin, one of the largest and finest in the State, the preachers and the editors, the hotel—everything is owned and managed by Negroes. What Isaiah T. Montgomery and his associates accomplished in laying the foundations and building the Mound Bayou community and making it a power for good in the life of people, others can do, and should do, if they wish to live their own lives, in their own way, and derive all of the advantages of self-government uno, to control their own business and industry. Working for Better Race Relations ATLANTA, Ga., March—Dr. T. J. Wooster, Jr., secretary of the Georgia Race Relations Committee, announces the employment as colored associate secretary of the Rev. J. W. Jackson, former Baptist pastor and for ten years field worker in Georgia for the General Missionary Baptist Convention. He will work especially with the colored committees throughout the State, organizing, strengthening, and assisting wherever his services are required. The State Committee has long felt the need of a competent colored secretary for this phase of the work and feels that it is chosen, wel, in getting a man of fine spirit, many years experience, an minister and missionary worker, and wide acquaintance throughout the State. The object of this committee, is to bring about better understanding between the races, eliminate fraternity, correct injustices and promote community cooperation for the common welfare. There is nothing a man knows in grief or in half no bitter as to think that it might have been. WHAT WE BELIEVE It believes that the Negro race is as good as any other, and therefore should be as proud of itself as others are. It believes in the purity of the Negro race and the purity of the white race. It is against rich blacks marrying poor whites. It is against rich or poor whites taking advantage of Negro women. It believes in the spiritual Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhod of Man. It believes in the social and political physical separation of all people to the extent that they promote their own ideals and civilization, with the privilege of trading and doing business with each other. It believes in the promotion of a strong and powerful Negro nation.

Group of Our Eusiness People to Tour the South The group of men and women who are planning a Southern tour, including a visit to the famous Tuskegee Institute, returning via Chicago, are looking forward to their trip with great enthusiasm. In addition to those who shall go from New York City business men and women will gather here from Boston, Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Chicago. An especially large group from Chicago led by Mr. Phill A. Jones, business manager of the Defender, and Mr. Clint A. Barnett, director of the Associated Negro Press. Plans are being made by the Association of Trade and Commerce and other business men of New York to entertain the group from Chicago and other cities who will assemble here, preparatory to starting on the trip, Monday, April 7. Reports come from each of the Southern cities, from Baltimore around the circle to Louisville, that the business men and women are making large preparations for the entertainment of the touring party. The local business men of Baltimore, Washington, Richmond, Durham, Columbia, Savannah, Atlanta, Birmingham, Memphis, Nashville and Louisville are making plans to enable the group to get an insight into every substantial business in these cities. At Tuskegee Institute elaborate preparations are being made to entertain those on the trip.—Mr. Lee, who is responsible for the management of the trip, is especially anxious that other New York business men and women shall join the party.

HERBEN of the New York Tuberculosis Association Ella had a fine new baby and was as proud as—you are yours. This new baby had a healthy father and Ella had never "known a sick day in her life." The child weighed eight pounds when it arrived and was as perfect an infant as you ever as, eye upon (except your own). It dimpled and Ella swore that it smiled at her the first time it was brought in to her Of course, I don't believe any such story as that, but it certainly was a splendid youngster—when it arrived. Something happened after that. I never did find out just what occurred Ella suddenly got an idea that her milk did not agree with the baby and she weighed it. Cow's milk is all very well if a baby HAS to have it. It is not a perfect substitute for the natural food for new babies which mothers so wisely provide. Ella's baby met the first thief Nature's only perfect food for her was stolen from her. Cow's milk didn't really make her sick, but she stopped growing so rapidly. She began to have colic and wake up in the night time to make life miserable for dad and mother. Then she picked up colds and caught whooping cough from the neighbor's boy. Whooping cough is terribly dangerous for an infant, and Ella's baby almost met another thief, Death. Finally after a struggle, Eliza's baby grew to be about three years old, and instead of getting whole milk to drink, she was given milk out of a bottle from which the cream had been poured for her father's and mother's coffee. Another thief had stolen from her the food necessary for her best growth. So it went. Thief after thief came around to keep her from blooming into girlhood and young ladyhood with laughter around her lips—kept her from having vigorous muscles and an active brain. I cannot say that all this come about because Ella failed to nurse her baby. But I do know this—that a healthy baby needs with every chance for normal development is the best foundation that can be life-for future well-being and an abounding interest and delight in life. So many thieves—yes, more than forty—lurk around to snatch health, or life itself, from these babies of ours that it is best for us to take thought and plan to do everything we can to safeguard them. The best thing a mother can do for her new baby is to nurse it. Don't give it the bottle unless the doctor insists that it is the only thing you can do. A New Tenor Mr. Lawrence Lomax, origin from New Orleans, is now gaining far in the musical world. After studying in Chicago he made a vaudeville to broadcast the central Praises on KKC Ime. Present indications are that he before long he will be one of the foremost stars of our race. This young tenor recently came to New York city and has made several records for the Okeh Company. His latest releases being, "Open Your Heart" and "Old Fashion Love," both from the "Runnin' Wild" musical comedy, and "Nobody Loves Me but My Mother," and "Shell Be There, Mother Nine," two new ballads. (Continued from page 29) As for the principal to be the Philippine vote in 1886, on the question of independence, the President would be willing to assist in that plan of settlement if assured the people would be sufficiently advanced toward self-rule to justify giving them opportunity to determine whether they desired independence. This attitude of the President is regarded as indicating that he doubles that the Filipino will be ready for independence in the next eleven years. He is inclined to subscribe to the contention that it is of no material advantage to the United States to help the islands, but is credited with qualifying this, in his conviction that such an adjustment does not quite fulfill the requirements of America's duty toward the islands and their people. The thought appears to be uppermost in the President's mind that the United States would be evading a solemn responsibility by abandoning the islands to their fate merely because there is a widespread sentiment in this country that they are more trouble than they are worth. Impressed by Responsibility The President's mind is understood to go back to the circumstances of the acquisition of the islands after the war with Spain, and to feel that they would have been cast adrift, with an invitation to some great power to seize them. If the United States had not assumed the responsibility of ownership and government. That this responsibility still appears to impress the President is evident from the statements of those acquainted with his views that he has not receded from the position he outlined in his letter to Speaker Rozas. For one thing, he is represented as feeling that the islands would suffer greatly in an economic way if free trade with America should be withdrawn, as it would be if independence were granted, and that a great burden would be put on the independent government by the necessity of requiring it to guarantee bonds of the present insular government outstanding in this country. In a hearing by the Senate Committee on Territories Secretary Weeks said he had come to the conclusion that "the time had not arrived when complete independence should" be given" to the Philippine. He did not see, he said, how any measure of independence could do any good, although he would be quite in favor of any extension of self-government that would be practicable. He did not see, however, how there could be any such extension short of independence "unless the governorship is turned over to the Filipinos, and I do not approve of that being done." Mr. Weeks explained that, "substantially speaking," the only American officials in the insular government were the governor general, the vice-governor, the insular auditor and some of the justices of the Supreme Court. The legislative branch of the government, he said, was entirely composed of Filipinos. "If I were entirely responsible for the Philippines and for the action of this government," said the Secretary of War, "I should say that we ought to arrange for a definite date to get out. We have been in there twenty-five years. I should say that we ought to stay twenty-five years more. I think it would be for the benefit of the Filipino people, and there would be a certainty as to what was going to happen, and no American or other investor would find any fault if he were caught there with investments. May Pay for Mission Here Inular Auditor Wright recently ruled that payments from the Philippine Independence Fund, appropriated from the Insular Treasury, should not be made for propaganda activities in the United States in behalf of Independence. This ruling has been modified so as to permit members of the Philippine independence mission now in the United States to continue to use the fund for expenses. It has been determined, however, that all the members of the mission now in Washington, with the exception of Speaker Roxas and a secretary, shall return to the islands. The annual appropriation for the independence fund is 1,000,000 pesos ($500,000). This fund is administered secretly by officers of the Philippine Legislature. When originally authorized it was provided in the legislative act that 1,000,000 pesos should be appropriated annually without the usual specific annual authorization. While the legality of this proceeding is challenged, the issue has not been drawn and Governor General Wood is prevented from passing on the annual allotment through its inclusion in an appropriation bill presented to him for approval or disapproval. Filipinos Reply to Coolidge MANILA. March 28 (Associated Press).—A draft to the Philippines official reply to President Coolidge's letter addressed to Manuel Roxas, head of the Philippine Independence Mission in the United States, in which the President set forth the reasons for his opposition to independence for the islands at the present time, has been made by the Independence Commission. The draft says that the United States should either grant independence now or once for all withdraw all its promises that such a step will be taken ultimately. It is yet to receive final approval, which may be accorded at a meeting of the commission Monday. "We have carefully read President Coolidge's letter, to Manuel 'Roxan', the reply says in part, "and we cannot find in it any satisfactory solution of our complaints and petitions. President Coolidge seems to forget the present status of our relationship with the United States and the inevitable logic of events that the American government With an regular administration such as we have at present we feel we cannot be happy nor secure in the enjoyment of our own life as a people for which we hope. We believe it is our imperative duty to urge the concession of our independence by the American people." Mr. N. R. Bradshaw, N. D., official lecturer of the New York Anti-Vivisection Society, one of the most humane of our national organizations, addressed a large and appreciative audience at Liberty Hall, Friday evening, February 29. Mr. Marcus Garvey presiding, in which he said, concerning the inhumanity of vivisection: "I have the honor of representing the New York Anti-Vivisection Society, whose object is to apose public opinion regarding the awful atrocities perpetrated upon animals and men known as vivisection, which is carried on in the chambers of medical colleges in this and other countries, with the object of having such atrocities regulated, restricted or abolished by legislative action. "Vivisection is cutting to pieces the bodies of live animals, with or without an anesthetic, not for, the benefit of the organism operated upon, but for the benefit of medical science, with the hope of incidentally discovering a remedy for human or animal disease. "A careful study of vivisection as practiced in the medical laboratories justifies me in stating that vivisection is both an immoral and unaccientific pursuit of knowledge. "I give utterance to a tremendous thought when I tell you that our civilization is just as much blighted today, as civilization has ever been, by institutions that have been devised to trample on moral law, on the sublime principles of order, truth, justice, humanity and temperance. "We are ruled by a hundred or more organizations, of which vivisection is merely one, each of which is composed of three categories, viz. 1: The ruling hierarchy which makes it its business to falsify facts, and broadcast in the public press tons of propaganda matter with which it rules the masses of mankind, in whose minds the thought of their masters become incarnated as servile thought. 2. The masses who do not think for themselves, who would rather die than think, and in consequence will promptly swallow a faecelihood just as a fish swallows a piece of red flannel that conceals the hook that captures it. 3. The third category is few in number, but it includes the reformers, the ministers, the missionaries, the saints, the 'redeemers of mankind. They ever cry out in the names of justice and humanity for the wrongs inflicted upon the masses of mankind. "The method of action is very simple on the part of authority. Calling attention to the fact that the rulers operate by virtue of birth, legal enactment, so-called Divine authority, election to office, wealth, or by reason of intellectual attainment, and having discovered that they can rule the masses much easier by appealing to the superstitions of those they would enslave, they make it their particular business to enlarge, stretch, exaggerate, falsify, minimize, suppress and deny the truth. "Vivisection exists, chiefly because the anpathy of the masses has made an atmosphere wherein it is not punishable by either law or public opinion. It is a product founded on human philosophy, which is ever antagonistic to Divine philosophy. Unless human philosophy is grafted upon Divine philosophy it is a thing of dust and ashes. Divine philosophy requires no emendations, whereas every philosopher who directly or indirectly tries to explain the riddle of the universe, antagonizes every other philosopher, and tries to prove his own system the only correct one. As God says, "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My thoughts higher than your thoughts, and My ways higher than your ways." "God is love, and being love, it is impossible to think that He would allow an angel in heaven to skin a dog alive within the precincts of the great white throne for any purpose whatever, if such a thing were possible, and Christ endorses this phase of the Father's will as having complete domination on the earth, also when He says, 'Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.' "St. Paul was one of the foremost expounders of Divine philosophy that ever lived. He says concerning love. Though I speak the tongues of men and of angels and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal. And, although I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and, all knowledge, and though I have all faith so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing." "What does human philosophy think of vixection? Here is what Dr. Warbasse of Brooklyn says about it in his book, entitled, The Cure of Disease by Animal Experimentation." Man's power and interest constitute his right to torture animals." He also says, "We be arrested questioned. The downward brought against a family of delinquents, and Agar gave them the full penalty of the law. But this was only the beginning. During Christmas week, 1921, Mr. Matthew G. Phillips, son of a reputable family and a candidate for the mayoralty, in the last election, wah held, before Agar on a charge of assault, growing out of a family affair. The doctor sentenced Stephen to a week in prison, the maximum punishment. There was a near riot and Agar's head was only saved through the timely interference of the Governor, Mr. Frederick Phillips, noted colored attorney, and the loyalty of the mob. Stephen was freed as "a Christmas gift" to his family and friends by the Governor after a few hours in prison, while Agar was elevated to the position of acting Attorney General. Riot After the War When the boys returned to Belize in July, 1819, from the battlefields of Egypt, Palestine and Mesopotamia, a pl� took place. Martial law was proclaimed and a contingent of sailors landed from a British warship to protect the white subjects of His Majesty the King. A mass meeting scheduled to take place at the Cills Theatre was turned into a second pl�, by the drunken sailors who bayoneted and roughed the poor, defenseless natives merelessly. Mr. Claude N. Smith, the agitator, was roughly handled and placed behind the bars. Several of the boys, still wearing the King's uniform, were tried in the district court and sentenced to prison for long terms. At no time, during this tense period were the natives disorderly. Their every move was peaceful, yet, they had to bow to the British lion. A commission of inquiry, headed by Sir Frederick McKenzie Maxwell, Bt. K. C., practically indorsed the conduct of the sailors. A True Clergyman's Fate And, yet, another recent atrocity, that, reported by the, "Belize Independent" and admirably condensed by Miss Isabella Lawrence, who was on the spot, in last week's issue of The Negro World. The issue was that of the Rev. E. Seller Salmon, a Negro clerkman, and the Rt. Rev. Bishop Dunn of the Anglican Diocese of British Honduras. Rev. Salmon proved himself to be a real son of Africa. His courage, his ambition, his interpretation of practical Christianity, were too much for the bishop and his liko he forced him out of his charge. The all-Negro jury decided in favor of the Bishop just to demonstrate how well the Bishop and his gang has succeeded with their religious teachings. Several unsuccessful attempts have been made during the war, and after, to suppress publication of "The Bellie Independent," the only Negro newspaper in the colony, and the sole champion of the people's cause. The fearless editor, Mr. Hubert Hill Cain, whose rise to fame is as thrilling as that of the redoubtable T. Thomas Fortune, editor of the Negro World, is battling against terrific odds. His greatest opponents are Negroes, of course. If Sealey Went to Honduras Now, Mr. Scaley says that we are satisfied. If he's game, let him go to British Honduras and tell the Negroes what he asserts in his letter, and if he gets away with it I'll pay all his expenses in connection with the trip. Every week ship loads of Negroes are leaving British Honduras for the Central American Republics and the United States. Will Mr. Mr. Scaley kindly tell us why? Two-thirds of the 300 boys who returned from the war have left the colony. Why, Mr. Scaley? I have in my possession scores of letters from friends who are all set to come across during the summer. One says: "I am fed up with Belize." And another: "The Government service I know today is no place for a young man who can dream and see vignettes." What have you to say, Mr. Scaley? The British Honduras Taxpayers Association is lining up with the people for a grand march to London, looking towards a change in the political constitution of the Colony and a larger measure of representative government. The Negro press and the people are raising hell in British Honduras, due in a large sense to the influence of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. But Mr. Scaley says we are satisfié. Don't laugh. gentlemen, this is something serious. You're very truly. G. A. HAYNES. 20 Walker Avenue, Berkley, Va. March 13, 1924. cannot extend the Golden Rule to animals.

Propaganda Everywhere Europe is organised to destroy Africa. Europe is gradually tearing apart the soul of Africa. I say, not only through politics, not only through industry, but through religion. They have all united to destroy you and to destroy me. We have often used that word. It was again used in this hall on Friday night, and I wanted to speak on that word, but it was too late, because the gentleman spoke very lengthily and the hour, was very late, the word, propaganda, on which I have delivered so many discourses. Let me tell you men propaganda is scientifically organized among the other peoples of the world, and it is through that medium that they are going to destroy us if we do not meet propaganda with propaganda. It can be your newspapers, it can be your weekly journals, it can be your monthly magazines, it can be your latest books from the publishers, and after you have read them all, it can be from prayer books or rituals, and even after you have consumed them all it can be from your Bible. You will find propaganda from the Heaven newspapers to the latest, version of the Divine Scriptures, the Holy Scriptures, propaganda engineered by the higher intelligence that rules the world to keep the rest of the world in darkness and under foot and crush its rising ambition. That propaganda is being used for the subjection of Africa and the subjugation of Africa. Cuts Both Ways It is no wonder they say Marcus Garvey is a fool.

It is no wonder they pump out millions of copies of such stuff and give to you to poison your minds against the creation of an idealism within your own ranks, but if you were intelligent you would answer criticism with criticism and propaganda with propaganda. (Applause.) It seems foolish for, "Marcus Garvey to wear a robe as President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. How ignorant, then, for the Pope to have on an abundance of fine garb. (Applause.) on it is foolish for Marcus Garvey to put on a military uniform as Provisional President of Africa. If it is foolish and laughable, how damnably more so for a King George of England to put on all his regallas (applause) and open on the Parliament of Great Britain. If it is foolish and laughable for the Universal Negro Improvement Association to create, knighthood and make a Sir Robert Lincoln Poston and make a Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis. If it is preposterous and ridiculous for the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the Provisional Government of Africa to elevate Sir Robert Lincoln Poston to the rank of prince, how more ignorant and foolish and preposterous for the King of Italy to elevate D'Anunzio to the realm of a prince. (Applause.) How foolish it sounds for us to have a Prince of Wales, if we cannot have a Prince Robert Lincoln Poston of Nigeria or Busutoland. What is the difference from being Prince of Wales, His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, and from being His Royal Highness, the Prince of Nigeria. They sound both just as good They have the same rhythm, the same euphony. The Best Coffee That man said last Friday that when he was a child his mother used to send him to buy coffee and she used to impress upon him. "When you go to buy 'coffee,' don't buy that black Liberian coffee, but take me the other kind of coffee." The poor woman did not understand what she was saying. And the poor boy did not know until he grew up to be a man. But he brought out splendidly the propaganda effect of the thing. At the time when coffee was largely consumed, when coffee had become one of the great commodities of the world and everybody was eager to drink coffee, Liberian coffee was said to be the best coffee in the world. But Liberia was in the hand of a few black men. It was a black country. If white men had accepted the best coffee in the world from Liberia, they would have assisted in building up Liberia as a great commercial center, because the world looking out for the best of everything would have only bought the best coffee in the world, and that would have enhanced the coffee trade of Liberia and made her one of the most progressive nations of the world. The white man, therefore, so as to stifle the commercial growth of Liberia and to keep her back, went into his own regions, in the West Indies where the English had colonies, and other parts of the world, and took the bad coffee and dumped it on the market and said, "This is the beat of coffee," and scattered the propaganda that the Liberian coffee was worthless, so that nobody would ask for Liberian coffee, nobody would want Liberian coffee, so that the Liberian coffee trade would die and Liberia be kept back as a commercial nation. That was the white man's propaganda of the last twenty years. It is the propagation by which they have kept us back and stiffened our growth, and Just take a dose. It is very pleasant.

Meet Propaganda with Propaganda It is for you to meet propaganda with-propaganda. And the Universal Negro Improvement Association, so long as Marcus Garvey lives, so long as the spirit of Marcus Garvey lives in the Universal Negro Improvement Association, though he is dead and gone, the Universal Negro Improvement Association is going to systematize and make scientific the propaganda among Negroes that will take the legions of hell and all God's angels to stop it.

SOUTH AFRICAN UNION TO MINT OWN COIN LONDON: During the recent sessions of the Imperial Conference in London a plan was put forward for the establishment of a uniform British Empire currency, but this fell down due to the opposition of Canada, which as a close neighbor of the United States finds a dollar currency super convenient. The tendency in the compartment seems to be in the opposite direction to that of the scheme, for it is now announced that South Africa is starting a new currency of its own. The Union of South Africa is making elaborate preparations to mint its own money and a new bank to deal with it. It will attack the Precorta mint. On the obverse the stand- ard pattern of the king's effigy is used in common with all the coinage of the British Empire. The reverse of some of the coins shows the arms of South Africa, and of those of lower denominations, the ship of Van Riebeck, the first Dutch governor of the Cape of Good Hope. The British currency units are being maintained in preference to the introduction of a dollar currency, but gradually the imperial money is being superceded and withdrawn in the Union. South Africa's example in minting its own money probably will be followed by the newest of the dominions, the Irish Free State, as soon as political conditions there are stable. —N. Y.

LOUIS, Mo. - A jury in the Court of Justice of the Peace Martin returned a verdict for Miss Gernice Wheeler, a teacher in the public schools here, for $400 damages against Seruggs-Vandervoort and Barney Bank last week, charging that she was annoyed, humiliated and damaged by the bank, who attempted to collect $52 from her, claiming that she had overdrawn her account in the institution. When the case was brought for trial in her counter-claim Miss Wheeler alleged that the bank had made an error in her checking account, thus causing her checks to be returned dishonored, thereby damaging her credit, and that the bank officials had threatened her, with the school board, by whom she was employed, and treated her discontinuously. Miss Wheeler says that she withdrawn her account from the bank. One of the leading dry goods firms of this city is operated by the same corporation that operates the bank. and as a matter of expediency, when credit or confidence is established and one of the concerns it is not questioned by the other, hence, the school teachers, for convenience, have become regular patrons of both the bank and the store.

Many believe that the charge was only a sham to get Garvey with the hope of destroying his work. The whole thing seems to be made up of an international plot which will shortly expose itself several Negro men and organizations have been parties to what some regard as a "frame-up," but Truth shall have a hearing.

I suffered as only those who are thus afflicted know, for over three years. I tried remedy after remedy, but such relief as I obtained was only temporary. Finally, I found a treatment that cured me completely and such a pitiful condition has never returned. I have given it to a number who were terribly afflicted, even bedridden, some of them seventy to eighty years old, and the results were the same as in my own case. I want every sufferer from any form of muscular and subacute (swelling at the joints) rheumatism to try the great value of my improved "Home Treatment" for its remarkable healing power. Don't send a cent simply mail your name and address and I will send it free to try. After you have used it and it has proven itself to be that long-looked for means of getting rid of such forms of rheumatism, you may send the price of it, one dollar, but understand I do not want your money unless you are perfectly satisfied to send it. Isn't that fair? Why suffer any longer when relief is thus offered you free? Don't delay. Write today. MARK H. JACKSON No. 269-K Durston Bldg. SYRACUSE, N. Y. Thirty Years in Cairn He Hears His Masterpieces Rendered; Sees Many Moved to Tears (Brom The New York World) Harry C. Burleigh, a Negro, for thirty years harbitae colonist, in the choir of St. George's Episcopal Church, had his reward yesterday, when at the 4 o'clock veer service a crowd of Easter morning also and severance came to do him homage. Half an hour before the service began, the church was filled, and standing room was gone long before the first peals of the organ rolled down the darkening nave. Hundreds who came later were turned away, and many of them stayed in the hope of greeting the Negro musician after the service. People well known in exclusive social and business choles sat in the same pew, or stood by side, with people of Burligh's race. Singer Called to Pulpit The service had its climax when the Rev. Dr. Karl Reiland, rector, at the close of a brief address, called on his "faithful co-worker, devoted friend and inspiring companion" to join him. Out of the choir strode the musician, a small man, gray haired, not very dark, but distinctly Negroid, wearing insignia of the degree of doctor of music over his white surplice. He mounted the John Pierpont Morgan memorial pulpit and he and Dr. Reiland stood there a moment with hands clasped. Earlier, at the close of morning prayer, the vestry made Burleigh a present of a purse filled with gold. It was a musical service and all the music was by the Negro from the first chant of the choir heard from the distance, a setting of the words "Lead me, Lord, lead me in Thy Righteousness," to the last prayer. The processional was Mr. Burleigh's, and to it the pageant of the church, led from end to end of the thronged nave, by the flag with its red cross glowing on a white ground, proceeded solemnly. Then came the real Burleigh. Then came the real Burleigh. Singing without accompaniment, the choir did his settings of several Southern Negro spirituals. There was "Nobody Knows de Trouble I've Seen," and "Weepin' Mary," and "Deep River." Burleigh himself sang the solo part in "Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray." But it was just after he had stepped down from the pulpit and he was quite hoarse; his big voice had lost momentarily the resonant clarity with which it had sounded above the whole choir when he marched in with the procession. Moves Many to Teare Straight music from a shoal that has sung the noble old, anthems of the masters; music with a barbaric richness of color that gripped the congregation. Sometimes it would be hummed, sometimes there was a humming accompaniment to the words. When the last chord of "Deep River" shaded into silence more than one handkerchief mopped wet eyes. Dr. Reland's brief talk was on the contribution of the Negroes to music—a "wondrous, limpid, delicate, spiritual song." He recalled that in the neighborhood of St. George's Church Devorak was living when he wrote his "Symphony From the New World," said to be based in part on the Negro spiritual "Swing Low, Sweet Charlot." And Burleigh gave him assistance in the writing of this work. Dr. Reland said. "Thirty years ago we took into the choir a good man with a fine voice." Dr. Reiland continued. "We did not know that he would become, as he in now, the leading creative gentus of his race in music, as a composer and as an interpreter." Among those who paid their tribute to Burleigh yesterday were Mr. and Mrs. Theodore M. Tatt. Mrs. Lorillard Spencer, Willim, Fellowes Morgan, Dr. George E. Brewer, Wolcott G. Lane, William Rand and Theodore H. Price. Former Leader of Texas Voters Enters New Field BELTON, Texas, April—Dr. J. C.

WE LOCATE MISSING PERSONS Phones: AUD. 9120 Days, BRAD, 8300 Night Communications to all missing persons of the world Passing of a Notable Character Who Was Favored by Jefferson Davis, President of the Southern Confederacy, With His Confidence MOUND BAYOU, March 7—Iusiah T. Montgomery was born May 21, 1847, on Hurricane plantation, in Warren county, Mississippi, the property of Joseph E. Davis, elder brother of Jefferson Davia. His parents, Benjamin Thornton Montgomery and Mary Montgomery, were Virginians, the latter having been among the first children born on the great 4,000-acre plantation when it was being cleared in the virgin forest. Benjamin, the father, was purchased at Natches, Mims, a boy of 13 years. He had learned the alphabet from his young master in Virginia. He had a thirt for education which was encouraged by Mr. Davis until Ben possessed a good library, and became business accountant of the plantation, keeping a record of all births, marriages and deaths, and all cotton picked. The same was ginned and billed to factories in New Orleans or Liverpool under his supervision. Benjamin also had charge of all machinery and carpenter work, was a good architect, civil engineer and mechanic. He built up a considerable merchandise business, beginning with chickens and eggs, from the Joe Davis, Jeff Davis and neighboring plantations. He handled for Mrs. Davis her surplus butter and the extra fruit grown on the plantation. Two sons, William Thornton and Isaiah Thornton Montgomery, and two daughters, Mary V. and Rebecca C. Montgomery, were reared by the family. Ben instructed his children in the rudiments of an education at an early age. At nine years of age Isaiah was put to filing papers and letters that had long been accumulating in Mr. Davis's large office. He continued office work, copying, and carrying the mails several times each week to and from Ashwood Landing. He became an expert careman, having Jefferson Davis frequently for a passenger. He also looked after the personal comfort of Mr. Davis while he remained on the plantation, and thus was formed a very intimate friendship that continued throughout his lifetime. During the war, 1861-65, Isaiah was taken with other slaves into the interior of Mississippi, after Grant had entered Northern Mississippi, but later returned to the plantation and assisted his father in caring; for the property until April, 1863. When Admiral Porter, having gotten part of his Mississippi squadron past the batteries at Vicksburg, landed at Hurricane to investigate the sunken wreck of the gunboat Indianola, in making his inquiries, he became acquainted with Isaiah and persuaded his parents to let him enlist as his cabin boy. This relation continued during the cruise up Red River, until the capitulation of Fort De Russy and throughout the memorable siege of Vicksburg, finally terminating at Mound City, Ill., in October, 1863. Isaiah had lost his health, and he was sent to his parents, who had moved to Cincinnati, through the kindness of Admiral Porter. Immediately after the war Joseph Davis resumed connections with Benjamin Montgomery and by 1867 had perfected plans to sell his plantation and that of his brother, Jefferson Davis (Hurricanes and Briarfield), 4,000 acres, for the sum of $200,000, with interest at 6 per cent. These places were kept and operated by the Montgomery's father and two sons, for thirteen years, after which they were surrendered to the heirs of the Davis estate, each one receiving his allotment according to the decree of the chancery court, under deed from the Montgomerys.

It was the dream of Joseph Davis the plantation keeper, together, making the home their permanent home. Catching the vision of the master, the young orchardist, bookkeeper (Isiah T. Montgomery), immediately, began steps to carry out the dream of Mr. Davis. And in 1887 Major George W. McGinnis, land commissioner of the L. & N. O. and Texas railroad, sought the aid of Isaiah in peopling a million acres of land owned by that company in the great Yasoo Delta. Montgomery agreed to take hold of the work, provided he found a suitable place to locate. Mr. McCarty, a civil engineer, was placed at his disposal, and after several days research Mound Bayou was selected, where Montgomery took over approximately 20,000 acres; associated with a cousin, Benj. T. Green, they purchased 1,000 acres outright, and the laborious process of settling the remainder with purchasers was begun. Montgomery moved his family to Mound Bayou early in 1888 and built the first dwelling. The situation was a rank wilderness of cane, briers and big timber, without any open land prepared for cultivation. Many hardships were undergone, and numerous difficulties overcome, but the settlement continued to grow, and now the now has a population of over 1,000, surrounded by an agricultural settlement of 2,000 people occupying 30,000 acres. During the spring of 1890 Mr. Montgomery headed a committee of Negroes from the Yazoo-Mississippi delta, that appeared before President Harrison, Speaker Thomas B. Reed and the Senate River and Harbors Committee; before this latter body he summed up the evidence brought out at the hearing and cited eminent engineers in a manner that made a very favorable impression. He was the only colored member of the Mississippi Constitutional Convention, which convened in Jackson, Miss., during this same year. There he delivered a notable speech on the adoption of the new Constitution, which has often been referred to as a classic of its day. At the suggestion of Dr. Booker T. Washington, Mr. Montgomery was selected to follow President Roosevelt in delivering a brief oration on behalf of the emancipated Negroes at the unveiling of the Lincoln monument at his birth place in Hodgensville, Ky. He assisted in founding the National Negro Business League at Boston, and became one of its earliest life members. He was considerably interested in planting. He operated a gin and saw mill, was president of the Farmers' Co-operative Mercantile Company, the BEATING MUG TOWEL, SOAP, SHAVING BREATHING MUG TOWEL, SOAP, SHAVING POWDER, BRUSH AND COMB A COMPLETE TOILY OUTPUT GIVEN AHOLSTERED FIRE TOILET BREATHING MUG TOWEL, SOAP, SHAVING JOB ANY MAN TO BE WELL Groomed - What are your chances in life, your future prospects, happiness in life, friends, enemies, success under which you might sign your birth? the farm and the town. He was also a member of the many local business and he was well known for his purpose of the people of the colony to meet a need building, especially outwork at an apprehension cost of $11,000. He drove a large portion of his time to the further development of驿站 in Hallowen County, and had, but not sport, he was instrumental in establishing the Mound Bayou National Farm Loan Association, of which he was property treasurer at the time of his death. It was through the working of this organization that many farmers of this and other communities were able to secure government loans and thus tide themselves over during the years of crises and financial disasters.

He died Thursday, March 6, 1926, at 14 a.m. The life and work of Isaiah T. Montgomery will linger long upon the memory of those who knew him. This marks the end of a well spent life. Bishop Coppin-spoke last Monday at the Philadelphia preacher's meeting. It was his first appearance since his illness. He was given a hearty reception by the men, with whom he is justly popular.

The man who has a sincere friend is blessed. He can't have many. EATARRH GERMS Here is glad news to sufferers from hawk-eyed cataracts.

La delegación enviada a Europa y Africa se halla de regreso entre nosotros; les enviamos allá con el objeto de estudiar condiciones y negociar el mejor medio para la repatriación de aquel elemento de nuestra raza, que aspira a mayor libertad y mejor oportunidad en un pals que puede llamar el suyo propio, constituo en la madre patria, cuna de sus antepasado. Los delegados nos han traido la buena nueva de que nuestros hermanos en el continente africano nos han de recibir con los brazos abiertos, toda vez que vayamos allá con la intención de asistirles en la construcción industrial y comercial del país que ellos han dominado por varios años, mientras nosotros hemos permanecido en este lado del Atlantico, en la casa ajena, laborando como sirvientes; como peones y como esclavos de otras razas, siendo calificados como inferiores, y con la baja renumeración del insulto; del linchamiento y de la segregación. La hora ha llegado para que unidos todos, reedificuemos el pais de nuestros primitivos; queremos hacer de Africa la tierra de mayor valer para nuestra raza, y con tal motivo, los que fomamos parte integrante de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, aportamos todas nuestra energias y todos nuestros esfuerzos para la realización de este propósito. La gran república de Liberia extiende su bienvenida a todo nuestro elemento industrioso y progresista, con el buen deseo de cooperar en su desarrollo industrial, y esta organización compenetrada de ello y bajo una dirección propia, aconseja a sus miembros el apoyo en tal sentido, ayudando así al adelanito y a la prosperidad de aquel gran país. Nuestra organización tiene en proyecto sus planes de información y ayuda para todos aquello interesados en la empresa, siendo de suma importancia el entrar en la propia delineación de dichos planes, con el objeto de obtener mayor protección para todos los que anhelan un hogar propio, y facilitando los medios que reducen en beneficio para el país en general, y para ellos en particular. Ella ha de adoptar un sistema de emigración adecuado, haciéndose responsable por todo aquel que se someta a sus reglas viajando bajo sus auspicios. La próxima convención internacional de los pueblos negros del universo tendrá lugar en esta ciudad, durante todo el mes de agosto del presente año. Toda división y todo miembro de la organización debe empezar inmediatamente a prepararse para esta gran reunión de la raza, la cual será la mas importante de las hasta ahora celebradas en Nueva York por nuestra organización. Una cordial bienvenida será extendida a todas las sociedades, organizaciones y asociaciones religiosas que deseen tomar participación en esta nuestra convención internacional venidera. Puntos de gran importancia serán sometidos a discución y a la consideración y sancion de la asamblea, entre los cuales figurarán el futuro económico de la raza. El dia primero de septiembre, inmediatamente después de la clausura de la convención, saldrá la primera embarcación de la nueva corporación naviera, la cual conducirá a sus nuevos hogares el primer contingente de colonos de nuestra raza. Laborem todos con este fin, pues solamente por medio de esfuerzo cooperativo, podemos llevar a la realización el gran programa del adelanto de la raza y de sus reclamaciones nacionales. Adaptemos, por consiguiente, una estricta aplicación del programa que ante nosotros se presenta—la gran convención internacional de los pueblos negros del universo y la ejecución de nuestros planes emigratorios, en pro del desarrollo industrial de la república de Liberia. La Asociación Universal no el Adelanto de la Raza Negra anhela allí la mayor parte de nuestro elemento industrioso v ecónómico; hombres y mujeres ansiosos de independencia, los cuales vayan a contribuir al adelanto de un país de su propia raza, en donde toda clase de vias de comunicación han de ser construidas; en donde el terreno será cultivado para que produzca la cosecha que es el deseo en la abundancia; en donde los productos minerales y agricolas han de ser explotados; en donde las instituciones comerciales y otras instituciones industriales serán desarrolladas, para beneficio general de la nación y de su pueblo. Tal es la emprensa que nuestro elemento progresista está llamado a llevar a cabo en pro de aquella república. Entremos de lleno en la ejecución de tan grande obra y cooneremos del mejor modo posible. Los miembros de la comisión central provisional nacionalista, los docentes miembros o más que compañeron la magna asamble nacionalista de ese partido dominicano, han hecho circular un manifiesto expresando la posición del partido nacionalista dominicano en las nuevas elecciones que acaban de verificarse en esa república y que culminaron en la elección para presidente de la república del general Horacio Vásquez y para vicepresidente del general Federico Velasquez, de acuerdo con el plan Hughes-Peynado celebrado en Washington en junio de 1922. Este partido, se abstuvo de votar en esas elecciones, de acuerdo con la creación de la Junta de Abstención electoral en junio de 1921, reunida en la fecha en Santo Domingo, o sea "la consigna del nacionalismo en toda la república." El manifesto es una protesta vibrante que rebosa de amor por la patria dominicana y sus firmantes se declaran energicamente opuestos al plan de liberación. En el se hace una historia completa del proceso de ocupación de la república, que comienza el 19 de noviembre de 1915 con la nota dirigida por el ministro nortesmericano Russell al gobierno dominicano y que culmino el 4 de mayo de 1916 con el desmarcar de las tropas de infantería de marina de los Estados Unidos al mando del contralmirante Caperton. Aparte de una enumeración de hechos sobre las circunstancias que precedieron y siguieron a la ocupación, el partido nacionalista no acepta el plan Hughes-Peymado en virtud de las siguientes consideraciones: La república perderia con el su independencia, porque el les garantiza a los Estados Unidos, por tratado, el reconocimiento de la validez de los actos de ocupación, el derecho de intervención, el control sobre las rentas internas y sobre las fuerzas militares. El tratado de validación previsto en el entendido, convertir la convención de 1907, de instrumento económico, en instrumento político, además de perpetuarla con los empréstitos ya realizados y con la imposición de otros nuevos, para la imposición de los cuales, el entendido faculta tacitamente a los Estados Unidos. El pueblo no podria discutir y rechazar el entendido en el congreso, porque la ley electoral, curiatura de ese instrumento internacional, atribuye carácter plebiscitario a las proximas elecciones, en el sentido de que el voto significaria la aceptación del entendido; y porque instituye, además, un mandato imperativo, para los diputados y senadores, en virtud del cual los representantes del pueblo no podrian discutir ni votar en contra del entendido en el seno del congreso. Luego de continuar el manifesto relatando las causas por las cuales se aconseja al partido abstenerse de votar, los nacionalistas concluyen en estos terminos: Creemos sumplir un deber sagrado al declarar que jamás reconocemos voluntariamente a la ocupación militar norteamericana la calidad de juez y parte que en la solución del conflicto creado por su propia violencia se attribuye, con menosprecio del principio americano de arbitraje y creenos, finalmente, cumplir un deber sagrado al declarar la necesidad y propósito nuestro de convertir el nacionalismos dominicano en escuela vivo de democracia que permita organizar el estado, inmediatamente después de obtenida la liberación incondicional de la república, sobre bases firmes y realmente republicanas que nos aseguren el orden dentro de nuestras fronteras y fuera de ellas, el respeto de las naciones civilizadas. Demandando un derecho Las naciones iberoamericanas y las indias occidentales están siguiendo con profundo interés el desenvolimiento del pueblo de Puerto Rico y el tratamiento que recibe bajo el pabellón de los Estados Unidos como la prueba de la actitud de este país y sus interciones hacia sus vecinos de la raza latina, declaró el comisionado residente de Puerto Rico, senor Cordova Dávila, en la audienza final ante el comité de territorios del senado a propósito del proyecto de ley que concede al pueblo de Puerto Rico el derecho a elegir su propio governor. Fue esta la replica dada a la exposición reciente del secretario de guerra Weeks, el cual se opuso enérgicamente a que se concediera este derecho a Puerto Rico. El comité de la camara habia informado favorablemente el proyecto, pero dando al presidente de los Estados Unidos el derecho a deponer al gobernador elegido por el pueblo portorriqueno mediante causa justificada. El mundo entero continua Cordova Dávila, observa la política de los Estados Unidos con conexión con Puerto Rico v los países ibetoamericanos, para determinar cómo tendrá éxito el experimento para establecer una perfecta inteligencia entre las dos grandes familias que habían el hemisferio occidental, los anglateronas' y los iberoaméricas. Si es que vais a destruir las interpretaciones y prejuicios que por tan largo tiempo, han existido contra vosotros y a desarrollar una unión fraternal, sincera y permanente, que hao deseable la posición geográfica de vosotros vecinos republicanos en Sud y Centro América, entonces el fundamento de tal política debe elharse en Puerto Rico. Conmemorando una fecha La histórica ciudad de St. Augustine desea se hueresp del rey Alfonso, y la reina Victoria de España. Una invitación oficial al monarca ha sido ya enviada por los conductos protocolares debidos, para que coopere con su presencia y su influencia al fausto de la celebración de la memoración de la herica hazaña de Juan Ponce de León, que descubrió la Florida en 1513. La invitación es para que el soberano español concurra a las fiestas commemorativas de Ponce de León que comenzarán en dicha ciudad el día 7 de abril próximo. Se honrará al mismo tiempo y como una de las fases de la commemoración, a Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, fundador de St. Augustine. A peticion del senador de los Estados Unidos Duncan U. Fletcher, las invitaciones al rey y a la reina han debido ya ser transmitidas por conducto del departamento de estado de Washington. Anunque no se cree que el rey y la reina asistantan a las fiestas, por ser conocidas las dificultades que embarazan su partida de España por el presente; se cree que el monarca español designar un representante oficial que lleve su nombre en todas las fiestas de la conmemoración. Más de dos mil personas, en trajes de época, tomarán parte en la magnifica procesión civica que será uno de los acontecimientos más senalados de la celebración. Se producirán en carrozas alegóricas episodios de la "legada de Ponce de León a la Florida, las carabelas históricas, la fundación de St. Augustine por Menendez y etapas de la vida de la ciudad bajo la dominación española, francesa, inglesa y finalmente al traspasar la sobrania a los Estados Unidos. En la preparación de las fiestas que ha sido larga y en extremo cuidadosa, ha se hecho una minuciosa investigación para hallar datos históricos autenticos. Miss Emily L. Wilson, de la St. Augustine Historical Society, en representación del comité de la celebración, ha descubierto nuevos capitulos de la historia inicial de St. Augustine, la primera colonia europea en el territorio de los Estados Unidos de la actualidad. Con la cooperación del gobierno de España y de investigadores en Sevilla. Miss Wilson ha encontrado por medio de escrituras pertenecientes a la corona, los probables colaterales de la familia de Ponce de León. Una asignación mínima La consignation por el congresso de tres cientos veinticinco millones para reparaciones de la estación de inmigración de esta ciudad no suficiente. El establecimiento se halla, según se reconoce, en un estado abominable. Los edificios están en pesimas condiciones y son inadecuados. El despacho de los asuntos se dificulta por la falta de facilidades requeridas. Sin atención a las opiniones sobre inmigración, persiste en pie el hecho de que personas de otros países que han de convertirse en ciudadanos americanos, deberían ser comodamente alojadas y bien tratadas mientras se halla en espera de admission al país. La mayoría de los edificios pueden ser escasamente mejorados por medio de reparaciones provisionales. Deberían ser destruidos y substituídos por modernas construcciones. Una entrada tan importante de la nación, debería hallarse en relación con la riqueza y la dignidad nacional. Homenaje a Bolivar En la reunión verificada en el hotel Ansonia, de esta ciudad, a la cual asistió un numeroso grupo de venezolanos, se nombró la junta directiva y aprolo el programa, que se publicará más tarde, para el homenaje que se prepara al padre de la patria, Libertad Bolivar, el próximo 19 de abril, en el Parque Central de esta ciudad. La junta organizadora del homenaje quedo constituida en la siguiente forma: Presidente, señor Amenodoro Penso; vicepresidente, señor Luis A. Hernández; 2o. vicepresidente, señor Jose M. Dávila; secretario, señor Roberto Hernández; tesorero, señor Telésforo Silva Lorca; suplentes: señores Enrique Hernández, R. Martínez Matos y Alberto Sánchez. Por ser Negro El Especiador concenta y crítica la injusticia que se constate con el aprovechado joven Rafael Castillo, negándole el ingreso a la Escuela Milkar, no obatanta haber ganado el concurso lealmente, por la olla causa de ser Negro. -Diario del Comercio, Barranquilla, Colombia. La prohibición y los buques extranjeros La sensacional y reciente confiscación del trasatlanticano ingles Orduma, en el que los agentes federales decomisonaron importante cantidad de licores, es solo un episodio de la lucha entre introductores de bebidas y los empleados de la prohibición. Según testimonia oficial, anclados, fuera del limite de las doce milles, hallanse frente a la costa de New Jersey y New York, verdaderas flotas de buques cargados de licores y que, fraudulentamente, pero seguridad, van penetrando en territorio americano en muchas y diversas formas. en un secreto a voces, declarado publicamente, que la industria de importación, de bebidas crece y aumenta y los líquidos prohibidos abundan en el mercado hasta a precio razonable. En estas condiciones, apenas puede pretenderse que la confiscación de un trasatlanticón en pleno puerto y la amenaza de semenjantes medidas contra otros buques anclados en la bahia; es el más serio y eficaz, esfuerzo que las autoridades lavailable para imponger la observancia de la ley Volstead en este aspecto. Hace tres años la situación empeora constantemente. Y no se ha sabido, podido o querido encontrar medios adecuados para dominarla. Ahora, después de cada medida sensacional como la del Orduña y las similares que puedan seguirte, es espiritu público reacciona en forma muy diversa a como fuera de descarse desde un punto de vista de respeto a la ley. Se habla y documenta tanto sobre las inmoralidades enormes a que ha dado nacimiento y seguirno desarrollo la prohibición, que cada nueva medida es aceptada concepticismo. En ciertos medios se descuentía inmediatamente en valor La ley se viola en masa por ciudadanos de toda categoria. De hecho, existe mercade material y espiritual para los contrabandistas. Para acabar con ellos lo primero, y io único eficaz, seria extinguir la demanda de licores ilegales. Levar a espíritu de la ciudadanía la sequedad constitucional decreta. Mientras no se consiga, serían vanos los esfuerzos artificiales por acabar con el contrabando. Este es reflejo del deseo del pueblo de ignorar la ley Vol-steel. -La Presta, N. N. Pio XI como arbitro Según telegramas recibidos en el departamento de Estado, procedentes de la República Dominicana, la prolongada controversia entre esa república y la de Haiti se sometida al Papa actual, Pio XI, para que la decida como arbitro. Al afecto, el gobierno provisional de la República Dominicana, ha nombrado una conisión compuesta del señor Angel Morales, ministro de Relaciones Exteriores, y el señor García Mella, para dirigirse a Puerto Principe, Haiti, a negociar con el gobierno haitiano un protocolo, en el cual se provea el sometimico de la cuestión al arbitraje del Papa. En los ultimos tiempos la preuna y algunas personas prominentes de ambos países haun estado laborando por un movimiento, más que de amistad, de cordialidad, que contribuyó mucho a borrar, las antigunas rencillas que de vez en cuando se agitaban en los dos pueblos frontrizos, dueños de una sola isla. Utilimamente ha habido excursiones de dominicanos a la república de Haiti, habiendo recibido una acogida excepcional, no tanto de parte de las autoridades, sino que también de la ciudadanía, especialmente de la prensa, que habia expresado de antemano la conveniencia de tal intercambio social entre las dos naciones. Fué este intercambio como la preparación del terreno mientras las autoridades de los dos países cambiaban ideas sobre la conveniencia de zanjar de pua vez por todas la vieja cuestion de limites, descartando así para el futuro toda-posibilidad de guerra. El paso dado por el gobierno dominicano al nombrar la comisión Cuadro de color el que componen estas gentes abigradadas, de fuerzas trasos, de lineas bien marcadas, de viyta-ondulante, de pintorosco lenquaje, de nomada existencia, y, sin embargo, cuantas sombras y tristezas hay en torno suyo, en esa propia vida que parece libre como el vuelo del pajaro en el aire, y que, sin embargo, está encadenada a la fatalidad, que es la única y constante compañera de esta raza, nacida Dios sabe donde y extendida por todos los lábitos de la tierra! Existencia errante, fe y creencia dentro de lo suyo, apartamiento y soledad para la vida de los demas seres que se ajustan a las leyes, a las costumbres y a los usos que atan y encadenan dentro de la sociedad, sease de la clase que se sea. ¿Son los gitanos esclavos y malditos por algo que han de pagar eternaimeite? ¿Qué les impulsa a que persevere la leyenda del Judio Errante a trayes de los siglos y de los cambios de costumbres? Bellos y pintorescos aparecen agrupados en todas las partes del globo; con ellos van sus casas, sus jesus, sus autoridades y hasta el mandato imperativo a que deben obedecer. Cuando llegan a una ciudad la hallan bella, siienten el perfume de sus vida y el calor de su vida; pero parecen malditos de maldición eterna, porque apenas han gustado de algo de aquello a lo que tienen apego todos los mortales, huyen, se alejan con rápido caninar con si sintieran vergüenza o se vieran impulsados a que tener que suspender un jugo para ellos convertido en tormento terrible. Sombrios y fieros los hombres, bellas y adustas las mujeres, la raza gitana pierce poseida, como imico fin de su pensamiento, del afan de establecer distancias, de crear vallas y barreras entre ellas y el resto de la humanidad. Las mujeres, plenas de bellez clásica, son indiferentes al amor que puede nacer en el pecho de los hombres que no sean de su raza y su alma no siente la menor vibración espiritual si ésta no se la brinda el que también es descendiente de Faraon. Los gitanos, los hombres y las mujeres, son poscidos, son seres que se han reconcentrado en sí mismos, para hacer que su vida se deslice por entre las demas si suffir el menor contagio, ni aceptar la menor de su inimicioses. Amar el cido, admirar al sol, reir, cantar, amar y morir son para los gitanos las normas de su conducta, y creen privados de todo cuando algo de esto le falta. Raza extránea, seres incomebibles viven para ellos ni mismos, para amar limitado número de cosas, entre las que figura el alfan del colorido. Vesid a una gita una con tus obscuros con sayas o paloones sombritos es condenaria a una pena insufrible para ella; es privada de la alegría y de la salud del alma. El sol africano, aquel esplendido, afilado, refugiante que amabilmente a sus mayores lo que de continuo contient en la retina de sus bello ojos. No es raza que puede vivir en cuatro ambios ni desarrollarse jinto a libreras paráedes. El ají florese, los naves de la solar sin sus sus animales elementos, porque los gijones son plantas trashumantes que nacen y se creen ayudados por la naturaleza y por sus elementos. Amar a los suyos, vivir su vida siempre la misma, la que viene sucediendo años tras años, siglos tras siglos, es el impertérito afan de esta raza que ama y mure fieramente, pero que ha puesto silla las rejas entre ella y los demás seres portales. Que curiosidad y que interes tan grande delen despertar estos miles y miles de criaturas que, le parramados por el mundo, se aprovechan de la parte externa del mismo, sin intentar más que a la fuerza averiguar nada de lo que puede existir más allá de sus propias convicciones! Bellas mujeres de moreenos rostos, almas pueriles para los encantos de la vida moderna, aman v sienten cual si en el mundo no existen teneada nana, absolutamente nada fuera de su ambiente; seres aisados hermeticos, corazones, pasiones indomables, merece que se os cante como a diosas de la mitología o como estrellas que despuése de aparecer por breves instantes en el momento crepuscular desaparecen sin dejar huella. Asi son las gitanas estrella fugaces, y asi hay que admirarlas, como algo incomprensible, y cuyos misterios y ayes no nos sera permitido descubrir. Faración goie y proteja. Vuestro rastro de colores es algo fuerte que queda impresionado por breves momentos en nuestro espiritu, pero que luego desaparece y se estuma. A. R. Bonnat. El judahero va cumplir de la trificación a mímes que簿筐, recoldeánda como el algn cuerpo el ritual del pueblo hielar—en donde el doctor José Silverman, delante por cuatro años de la reeducación de dáica en America, en una reunión dada en su honor por la asesinación de los fondos de fundación de la estina, a su regreso de la tierra su grada en donde hizo una extra investigación de la labor reconstructoriva. La reunión inicio oficialmente su campaña del presente año para recaudar tres millones de pesos, los cuales serán utilizados en grabajos reconstrucióva. Satisfecho por las realizaciones que observó err Palestina, al doctor Silverman manifesto que el éxito del movimiento por el restablecimiento de la patria hebraea, se debía al agitir determinado de aquel pueblo, siendo hoy dia no la tierra prometida sino la tierra de promisión para aquella raza, debido a las actividades de sus asociaciones que algunos aún podrian considerar estas esperanzas como sueños quiméricos, pero todas estas conjeturas dimanaban de los pesinistas que se opoen abiertamente a tal movimiento. Un castigo original Después de haber estado fuera de casa durante seis días y habese corrido la noticia de que tal vez hubiera sido asesinado Vicente Huierdor, agregado a la legación chilena y escritor notable se presentó en su casa y dijo que tres ingleses le habian hecho prisionero y le habian obligado a escribir miles de veces la frase Inglaterra y los Estados Unido son las naciones más poderosas del mundo. Este castigo se cree que haya sido por un libro que escribió chileno en el cual anual la ruina del imperio británico para dentro de cierto número de años.

WOMEN and WHAT THEY THINK-Edited by Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey 7 in the best analogy that can be drawn of life. We are ushered into this world as on a stage. The curtain goes up and we then the footlights, of criticism and censor. Our every act is indisposed, and, whether we are conscientious actors, or merely entertainers, who act because of circumstances, only the Great Director, who acts and knows all, is the real judge. Our fellow actors will criticize our actions, and the player who produces the best talent and helps to make the Drama of light a success is the player who is beloved by his fellow actors, and while exit from the world's stage is regarded as a calamity. The Great Director who stages the Drama of Life watches specially the conduct of each actor, and sometimes when a player shakes the aenith of his career, though young in years, He singles him out for the Immortal Drama in Heaven, and removes him from this earthly stage. We as fellow actors question among ourselves the act of our All-wise Director. Why should one be taken from us whose acts enhance our scenes, and whose laurels were ready to be laid on his brow? Couldn't another have been taken in his stead, one whose career was fast coming to a close by the onward rush of years? But the All-powerful Director replies, "Why question ye among yourselves? The Divine Stage must be occupied by the best actors; the Immortal Drama must be acted by those whose talented contributions excelled on the earthly stage. He who has been taken from you has been but transferred to play a bigger part." As we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association mourn the loss of our esteemed Secretary General, Sir Robert Lincoln Poston, let us console ourselves as we recount his noble deeds in the interest of our race. His was a brief life, but a long history of achievements, and his name shall be indelible on the hearts and minds of the millions of members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association for whom and with whom he labored. Poets shall write of him: streets and avenues in Africa shall be named after him; institutions of learning shall bear his name, and Negro mothers shall teach their boys to live the life of service to race that he lived. The spirit of Robert Lincoln Poston will live again in millions of young Negro men, and the race will be benefited by their achievements, inspired through the sacrifice and contributions made by our dead hero. We do not know how soon we may be called upon to take our exit from this world's stage; then let us so act that when the curtain falls upon our last act we may be missed by our fellow actors and given a place among the Immortals of all Ages, and the Great Director may say, "WELL DONE," and the Angels echo back, "AMEN."

But there was no happy ending to this Cinderella's story—perhaps because it is real life and real life stories are not always happy. The little girl is dead now. She lived in Oklahoma, where $5,000 Indiana are herded, supposedly the wards of the nation, but actually given over to be the prey of greedy schemers. The little Choctaw baby was scarcely five years old when, like Cinderella, she became fabulously rich, magically rich. In this, her experience was not different from that of hundreds of other members of "the Five Civilized Tribes"—the Choctaws, Chickaws, Cherokes, Creeks and Seminoles—who were granted government lands in Oklahoma, lands which afterward were suddenly discovered to be oil lands and, therefore, productive of more wealth than gold mines themselves. County Courts in Control of Indians When, in turn, both her father and her mother, died, the property became Cinderella's. She still lived with her, grandmother, an old Indian woman; and her niece, a kindly man with several children, in a little wooden shack, dirty and falling to pieces, back in the Oklahoma hills, miles from any city. Millions were beneath their feet, but they did not know it. Her uncle had been appointed her guardian by the county judge. Fifteen years ago the government of the United States parted with the control it had exercised over the affairs of Indians through the Department of the Interior, turning this control over to the count's courts of Oklahoma. Since then nine out of ten of the Indians who took these land grants have sold them—and in most instances have been paid nothing like their worth. But delegations from Oklahoma insistently demanded of Congress that it give the Oklahoma courts this privilege—and Congress yielded. Wealthy Girl Compelled to Live In Poverty Cinderella's Indian uncle was appointed her guardian before oil was discovered on part of her land. Doing as best he could, he had sold some of her other lands for $2,000 which he had placed in a bank and from which the county judge allowed him to take $10 a month for the little girl's support. This, in fact, was about all the whole family had to live on. They existed in dire poverty, without proper food and clothing and surrounded by fifth and dirt. Then white men discovered her oil land. They got busy at once. By threatening, pleading, and finally deceiving her simple uncle, he was induced to resign as her guardian. The man who succeeded in thus getting him out of the way was a local attorney who represented the leading financier in the county seat—a friend of the county judge. The judge made the financier the guardian of the child. The guardian, well knowing the value of the old lands, still allowed the family only $15 a month. They were actually half starving. Chicanery of White Guardian For two years this went on. The guardian did nothing to make them more comfortable, or to educate the little Indian hores, although her twenty acres of oil land had been opened up and were producing. Then he attempted to sell ten acres of the land. The ten acres were appraised at $00,000. But he planned to sell it to a friend of his, telling the little girl's uncle that he could get $2,000 for it. Luckily, his scheme was defeated. The little girl's allowance was increased to $200 a month—which came into his hands, as her guardian. He continued to allow them only $15 a month, in the form of credit at the store. Five Weeks of Hope The family continued to starve, the gushing wealth of the oil wells mocking them. After struggling through the winter, the little girl and her grandmother managed to get to the county seat. The child was so sick that her life was feared for. They came to town carrying all their clothes, a bundle of faded rags, in a flour sack. The Little Cinderella was a pitiful sight. She was so wasted away from starvation that she weighed only 47 pounds. Her body was filthy and covered with vermin. The doctor who examined her said she was undernourished and poisoned by malaria. For five weeks she was given medical treatment and nourishment and in that time gained eleven pounds. Her health was better, and an employee of the Government Indian Service sent her to an Indian school, where she might continue to grow better. Her old grandmother went back to the shack in the hills, happier than she had been for a long time. 'Back to Misery. But her guardian was not satisfied. He did not like the idea of the school. He demanded at once that she be returned to his care, and in twenty-four hours he had taken her away. A month later word was brought to the hovel on the hills that the child was dead. The old grandmother had not heard a word of the shr.'s illness and the sudden news stunned her. and the sudden news stunned her. She was still waiting, in her dumb grief, for the child's coffin to arrive, when, the very next dawn, white man began drifting up to the wretched but They jostled each other in their greediness to get first chance at the oll lands, which, by the death of the wretched little Cinderella, would come to the grandmother. Death: Ends All The old grandmother walled feebly over the little body. Its appearance horrified her. The lips had turned black. The fingertips had turned black. The breast had turned black. The old Indian woman shrieked that the child had been polished. She pleaded that an autopsy be performed. But the child's legal guardian refused. "Bury her; it's all right," he said. Soon the County Judge appointed a guardian for the grandmother, the child's heir. She protested wildly. She had had enough of guardianships. But she could not escape. The law closed around her. And around her riches—which have brought her nothing—a ring of men like wolves sit watching greedily. Three Organizations United In Defense of Indians Now, this story is not the only one of the sort. It is merely one example of thousands of cases in which white men have shamelessly treated the Indians of Oklahoma. An exhaustive study of the plundering which has taken place under the protection of the County Courts of Oklahoma has just been made by representatives of three organizations—Gertrude Bonnin of Washington, representing the Indian Welfare Committee of the General Federation of Womens' Clubs; Charles H. Fabens of the American Indian Defense Association, and Matthew K. Sniffen of Philadelphia, secretary of the Indian Rights Association. Report of Committee: Shows Scientific Explanation Their report; the fruit of five weeks' first hand investigation in Oklahoma, has just been issued and laid before Congress. Its picture is so terrible that a resolution calling for a Congressional investigation, by a special joint committee of Sonators and Congressmen, was at once introduced. These are some of the report's startling findings: "The estates of the members of the Five Civilized Tribes are being, and have been, shamelessly and openly robbed in a scientific and ruthless manner. "In many of the counties the Indians are virtually at the mercy of groups that include the County Judges, guardians, attorneys, bankers, merchants—not even overlooking the undertaker—all regarding the Indian estates as legitimate game. "In most cases elsewhere, the cost of probating an estate is not over two per cent. Our investigation of 14,000 probate cases in the six Oklahoma counties where the Indian population is largest, shows the average cost of administration to be 20 per cent., and in some instances it has been as high as 70 per cent. "To these grafters 'the quick and the dead' are all the same. On one occasion they literally waited at the bedside of a dying woman, and hardly had the breath left her body when her thumb was pressed upon an ink pad and an impression of it made on an alleged will, which was offered for probate. Other Abuses "One attorney, by order of the County Court, received $5,000 from a wards' estate and never appeared in court. "Frequently in disposing of tracts of Indian land the purchase price has been four-tenths of its actual value. "When oil is atruck on an Indian's land it is usually considered prima facie evidence that he is incompetent and, in the appointment of a guardian for him, his wishes in the matter are rarely considered. "Every effort made by the Federal authorities to safeguard the interests of these Indians has been thwarted." Among cases cited in the report are two which the committee declare show the determination of the exploiters to have guardians appointed for moneyed Indians, with or without reason. FOTTSVILLE, Pa., March 15.—John M. Harner pleaded guilty to selling liquor in Hegins rather than take his chances with a jury of twelve women. Harner had pleaded not guilty and sat confidently in court until woman after woman was accepted and then, when the final woman juror was selected, leaped from his chair. "I change my plea to guilty," he said disgustedly. He paid $300.

THE IDEAL WIFE The Woman Who Winds Herself Into the Rugged Recesses of Her Husband's Nature, and Supports and Comforts Him in Adversity The occasion often arises when one's attention is arrested by the courage with which women sustain the most overwhelming reverses of fortune. Those disasters which break down the spirit of a man and leave him prostrate in the dust seem to call forth the energies of the softer sex, who was once like a blossom blown before a breeze, and give such intrepidity and elevation to their character that at times it approaches the plane of grandeur, where so prominent are the qualities that they inspire awe and wonder. Nothing can be more touching than to behold a soft and tender woman, who had been all weakness and dependence and susceptible to every trivial roughness while treading the prosperous paths of life, suddenly rising in mental force to be the supporter and comfortor of her husband, who is almost broken down by the awful and implacable approach of doom, and abiding with unshrinkable firmness the bitterest blasts of adversity. Woman the Vine and Man the Oak As the vine which has long twined its graceful foliage about the oak and been lifted by it into the sunshine will cling around it with its caressing tendrils and bind up its shattered boughs when the hardy plant is riffled by the thunderbolt, so has it been beautifully ordered by Providence that woman, who is the ornament of man in his happier hours, should be his stay and solace when smitten by sudden calamity. It is no uncommon occurrence to find the ideal wife winding herself into the rugged recesses of a husband's nature and duly supporting his drooping head and binding up his broken heart. If one is prosperous, there is the ideal wife to share in his prosperity; if otherwise, there she is to comfort you. It is an indisputable fact that a married man falling into misfortune is more apt to retrieve his misfortune in the world than a single one, chlichly because his spirits are soothed and relieved by domestic endearments, and his self-respect kept alive by finding that though all the world is darkness and humiliation yet there is still a little world or love at home of which he is the monarch and supreme ruler; whereas a single man is apt to run to waste and self-neglect through feeling that he is abandoned and neglected. In every ideal wife there is a spark of heavenly fire which covert in the broad daylight of prosperity, but which kindles up and burns and blazes forth with heavenly refugence during the dark hours of adversity. As man's inspiration One hardly knows what a ministering angel a woman is until she has gone with him through the fiery trials of this wicked world. Even sometimes during one's adventures in the world the ideal wife lends such inspiration to the husband that his every effort is crowned with success. Many times Pain or dull ache 'in' the back is often evidence of kidney trouble. It is 'Nature's timely warning to show you that the track of health is not clear. Danger Signals If these danger signals are unheeded more serious results are sure to follow: kidney trouble in its worst form may lead to poor health. Thousands of people have testified that the mild and immediate effect of Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder medicine is soon realized—that it stands the highest for its real-world benefits.
