The Negro World

LET'S PUT IT OVER The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Awakened Negro The Negro World Reaching the Mass of Negroes The Best Advertising Medium A Newspaper Devoted Solely to the Interests of the Negro Race MARCUS GARVEY ANSWERS W. E. B. DU BOIS OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF "CERTAIN" PEOPLE VOL. XVI. No. 13 Fellowmen of the Negro Race. Greeting: Fenlowen of the Negro Race Grouping. I had promised not to waste much more of the space of the Negro World on the cross-breed Dutch-French-Negro editor of the Crisis, the official organ of the National Association for the Advancement of "Certain" People, because it was like wasting powder on blackbirds, but this one-third Dutchman, who assumes the right to dictate to the Negro people what they should do and should not do, has become so brazen and impertinent that it leaves me no other course than to deal with him as he deserves. In certain society, when we meet individuals of this kind, we do not waste time arguing with them, but give them a good horse-whipping; but the decency of the Universal Negro Improvement Association prevents me personally from using the dog or horse whip on this individual who seems to think that he is so important as to be able in any way to influence or affect the sober conclusions of men of character and purpose. Space is given to him in this issue for no other reason than to present him before the members of the Negro Race as we see him, and believe him to be, so that the race may be guided and saved from falling under his sinister and wicked influence. A Fake Leader The man, W. E. Du Bois, has essayed for a long while to be a leader of Negro people, without having one ounce of respect for or real interest in his race, other than to deceive us into believing that he is one of us, when in truth his highest purpose is to be bewal his Negro blood and to work and fawn for association with the white race with the hope of being a "social exclusive," so much unlike the rest who have a drop of Afric's blood. He has skillfully maneuvered himself into a position that would in some way cause him to be recognized as a leader. Being in this position, he has used it to great personal advantage, and now we find that he is desirous of establishing himself, not only as a social "bug" but as Nobody Pays Any Attention It is fortunate, however, that nobody pays any attention to what this unfortunate cross-breed says or does. If they did, we would all be banished one by one from the domain in which this "great I am" rules. He has, however, declared that Marcus Garvey must be locked up or sent home. Du Bois is a joke. What would the sending home of Marcus Garvey do to ease the miseries that now afflict the leader of the National Association for the Advancement of "Certain" People? Marcus Garvey would expose him in Jamaica, Europe, Africa or anywhere else as he does in America. Distance doesn't make much difference now-a-days in handling men and measures. If Garvey were locked up, that wouldn't help Du Bois much. It would only lend greater force to the propaganda that he is afraid of and under which he is smarting. The man is in trouble, and it is because he doesn't know on which side he is, whether he is Dutch, French or Negro. When he discovers himself and becomes a real Negro, then I feel sure his miseries will depart, but not until then. Who Is Crazy? Du Bois is speculating as to whether Garvey is a lunatic or a traitor. Garvey has no such speculation about Du Bois. He is positive that he is a traitor. And why? Because of the things Du Bois has done and said. He has written enough in his "Dark Water" to let us know that he is not a Negro, and if there is anything Negro about him, it is an unfortunate accident. Surely, he is not of the Negro people, because the majority of us are poor, humble people struggling toward a higher objective. He himself, admits tat he hates the poor, so neither in race nor in condition is Du Bois with us. He says that he likes the rich, and truly, so he is now living in the atmosphere. Poverty and riches do not go hand in hand, therefore, with all his pretense to the contrary, we know that he is not with the poor, and, naturally, cannot be with struggling Negroes who are seeking to lift themselves out of their unfortunate condition. Whenever he writes of the lowly, and humble members of our race, he refers to them as "ignorant" and "theughted," and to their effusions as "hilth." Such is the man who wants to be a leader of the masses. Surely the masses have not lost their senses. Du Bois seems to believe that he is unfortunate enough to be picked up by good white philanthropists, cared for and kept in an atmosphere of wealth and culture, other people must fall before him and worship him. He is crazy. People are not thinking about him. The masses of the Negroes do not care any more about Du Bois than the devil cares about sprinkling himself with holy water. Why, the man is forgotten in the rush of the people toward the accomplishment of higher things. They do not calculate for Du Bois at all. Yet he tries to force himself upon the people as an advisor, and as a leader. From the many rebuffs he has received, he ought to be satisfied by now that he is not wanted by the people. If his friends try to boost him and gather a small number of people for him to speak to, before he is half through his discourse the people go to sleep on him, he is so "disinterested." It he had good judgment, he would know that the people do not want him. The people are not looking out for leaders of his kind, and it is because he cannot come into the open and face the people that he resorts to "closed door leadership"; the leadership that sneaks into the back door of the philanthropist's office and belies the real situation of the race; that leadership that tries to undermine the real movements of the masses that leadership that tries to misrepresent to those who may be interested the real facts concerning the Negro and his aspirations. That is where Du Bois has done so much harm, not only to the Universal Negro Improvement Association and Marcus Garvey, but to the entire Negro race. We are acquainted with his "closed door leadership." We are acquainted with a lot of what he has said to white men who have been in search of the truth What Du Bois Wrote When he made the following confession in the Crisis of May, he gave away himself. "1. No Negro in America ever had a fairer and more patient trial than Marcus Garvey. He convicted himself by his own admissions, his swaggering monkey-shines in the court room, with monocle and long-tailed coat, and his insults to the judge and prosecuting attorney. "2. Marcus Garvey was long refused bail, not because of his color, but because of the repeated threats and cold blooded assaults charged against his organization. He himself openly threatened to 'get' the District Attorney. His followers had repeatedly to be warned from intimidating witnesses and one was sent to jail therefor. One of his former trusted officials, after being put out of the Garvey organization, brought the long concealed cash account of the organization to this office and we published," etc. "For these and no other reasons Garvey was held in the Tombs so long without bail and until he had made abject promises, apologizing to the judge and withdrawing his threats against the District Attorney." The above reveals the fact that Du Bois was the genius behind the Garvey trial. He knows more about why Garvey was convicted and why Garvey was kept in the Tombs than anybody else, a part of which information he revealed in his May Crisis. How could Du Bois know why Garvey was kept in the Tombs if he were not a party to keeping him there? How does Du Bois know on what grounds Garvey was convicted if he were not a party to it. The man reveals such a lack of wit that he actually confessed that Garvey was convicted, not because of a crime, but because of his actions in the court, namely, "his swaggering monkey-shines, his monocle and long-tailed coat and his insults to the judge and prosecuting attorney." Was Garvey indicted for wearing a long-tailed coat or cutting monkey-shines or wearing a monocle, or was he indicted under violation of a section of Postal Laws? Du Bois has confessed the facts that Garvey knew long ago; that he was not convicted because of any violation of the law, but because of prejudice. But Du Bois claims that Garvey is a liar. Must we compare the two lars and see which is the greater? How He Lies We call upon all those who attended the trial of Marcus Garvey in the Federal Court of New York to state whether Garvey ever wore a long coat during the five weeks of the trial or not. Marcus Garvey has never worn a "PROFESSOR OF BUNK" EXPOSED IN HIS PART OF THE GARVEY TRIAL "PROFESSOR OF BUNK" EXPOSED IN HIS PART OF THE GARVEY TRIAL CONFESSES WHAT HE KNOWS ASSOCIATION OF OVER FIFTEEN YEARS HAS NEVER SUBMITTED ITS BALANCE SHEETS TO CONVENTION OF ITS WORKERS, BUT ONLY TO ITS OWN LITTLE GROUP LITTLE BODY THAT PERPETUATES ITSELF AT DIRECTORS' MEETINGS CRITICIZES BIG WORLD-WIDE MOVEMENT THAT GOES BEFORE THE PEOPLE ANNUALLY CAN DU BOIS' ORGANIZATION STAND INVESTIGATION? long coat, yet this lying "Doctor of Philosophy" and "bunk" in all seriousness writes in the official organ of his organization that Marcus Garvey had on a long-tailed coat during the trial of his case in New York. What does this liar mean about "swaggering monkey-shines"? I can understand about the monkey, but I don't know much about the shines, and, as far as the monkey goes, Du Bois seems to be nearer that species than Garvey. A monkey is a kind of human monstrosity, if we are to understand the meaning of Du Bois. He is nearer a monstrosity than Garvey, because Garvey is not a combination of Dutch, French and Negro, but only a Negro and proud of it. I suppose he means monkey-shines such as he kicked up in Europe at his so-called Pan-African Congress which amused Wells and Olivier, and all those white Europeans whom he thought were accepting him on equal terms. He doesn't know that he dined with Wells, not as an equal, but as a monstrosity cutting monkey-shines. How He Admits What He Did. Du Bois again, in the article referred to of May, admitted what we suspected long ago, that he and his association were in elusion with employees of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to steal its records and to undermine its success, because here we have it stated by himself in his Crisis that one of the former Garvey officials brought to him the "long concealed" cash record of the organization, which he published. The Jiar Du Bois. Who told him that the Universal Negro Improvement Association ever had any concealed cash account? It it were concealed, how could he have gotten it to publish, and since he published it, what harm did it do? All of the accounts of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are brought before the Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World every year. Nothing concealed about it, but every one attending the convention has a right to question anything pertaining to it. Can the N. A. A. C. P. Stand Investigation? Exposing Him for Truth This man must be exposed if the 15,000,000 Negroes in America are to be saved, and that is my duty to help save them. Du Bois lies when he states that Marcus Garvey's desire is to separate the American Negroes from America and deport them all to Africa. Why, there are some Negroes in America who would not be any good in Africa. Such Negroes as Du Bois himself. What could we do with them? We don't want black philosophers in Africa. We don't want any bums in Africa. We want industrious and hard-working men and women in Africa, and surely, Du Bois is not to be numbered among that class, therefore he should not make the mistake of stating that Garvey wants to separate all Negroes from America and take them to Africa. We want only American Negroes who have intelligence enough to think, see and realize the dangers of the future. We want only those Negroes in Africa who can think and see the time when the Negroes condition in America will be worse than hell. We want Negroes in Africa, who can build homes of their own where they can have peace, happiness and prosperity among themselves. What Does He Care? What does Du Bois care about the 15,000,000 Negroes of Americas, whether they live or die, so long as he can keep the company of white men and women and lord it over the rest of the people as a "Social God." This man is a disgrace to the Negro race in that every time he writes he humiliates us. Not very long ago in his "Dark Water" he bewailed his black blood. Not very long ago he went to the Astor or some other hotel in New York and danced with a few white people and he made a big noise about it in the Crisis. He went on a trip the other day to Europe and Africa, and among the first things he tells us in writing of his trip is that he dined with Wells and met other white government officials on equal terms. The thing is sickening. The man talks about going in white people's company as we would talk about going to Heaven and being with the angels. The Negro and Society The Negro who is dissatisfied with being in the company of his own race reflects the worst type of the race, and the mistake some white people make is to believe that the best Negroes are those who hanker after white companionship. No, that is the worst type of Negro. The best Negroes are those who associate with themselves and who do not go out of their way to dance and associate with white people. If the white people want them, they come to them. Du Bois is of the class of Negroes that is being lynched and burned d who comes in too close contact with the white people of the Southern States. It is no wonder he ran away from Atlanta and took up his permanent residence on Fifth avenue, New York. The "Doctor" With Cost Off Du Bois has taken off his coat. He calls Garvey a wretch. Before Garvey is through with him, he will take his shirt off. And this is the way Du Bois has deceived the 15,000,000 members of our race in America for the last twenty years. He tries to tell the Negro people that Garvey has written a letter to senators and congressmen, but he retains to produce the letter in its entirety. He calls from different points but stresses the letter with pilots, certain points that he believes could be interpreted in many ways and places that before the readers of the Crisis as that which Garvey wrote. That is the way the so-called intellectual fellows have deceived the people. Why didn't he reproduce all that Garvey, wrote so that the people could judge for themselves? He knew well that if he reproduced the entire letter and pamphlets that Garvey wrote he would have exposed his own weakness and strengthened Garvey's position. He not only didn't reproduce the letter, but he picked different sentences and joined them together for the purpose of deceiving the people. That is the kind of leadership we have been having all the time. A leadership of deception. The poor people not being able to analyze on their own account, accept what has been given them by these deceptive leaders and thus we have been dragging on for the last fifty years without being able to reach a given point. Garvey is determined to smash up this hypocrisy and lying farce. Marcus Garvey is going to make Du Bois "come clean" and "deliver the goods" as a Negro, if he wants to be a Negro or he is going to get out of the race and be Dutch or French since his thinks so much of that. Surely Du Bois is bitter with Garvey, because Garvey is spoiling his tricks and is going to spoil them some more. Abusing Other People He says in his May article that Garvey has ceased abusing or writing against the white people. Garvey is not a fool. Why should Garvey abuse and write against the white people continuously? What good does it do to be always abusing somebody? Has the man Du Bois done anything else for the last fifteen years other than abusing the Ku Klux Klan and all the white people who do not agree with him, and will not subscribe to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People? Yet he thinks that is going to help the Negro race. Garvey's intention was never to abuse the white people or to abuse anybody for that matter. Garvey's intention was, and is, to open the eyes of Negroes to their own interest and in the early days he had to point out the injustices done the race by the white race as a guide to the Negro to bestir himself to do on his own account, but that did not mean that Garvey had always to be abusing the white people or anybody else. The Negro and His Own Business The Negro has his own business to look after, and so has the white man. Instead of always abusing the white man, Negroes should get together and advance their own interest. That, Du Bois doesn't know. Du Bois doesn't know that the leader has changed according to conditions and environment. Once upon a time, between the war periods, the Negro could have said a lot of things, and he did a lot of things, but he has to be careful what he says and does now, if he means to help himself at all. What good is there in abusing the Ku Klux Klan to a point of retaliation, when one-half of the Negro population of America is employed by members of the Ku Klux Klan? What is the use of abusing all the white people in America, as Du Bois wants Garvey to do, when the entire Negro population of America is employed by the white race? If we have sense, we will skillfully and diplomatically engineer our program so as to help the Negro the best way possible until he can entirely take care of himself. That is the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association at this time, and that is why we have to dissappoint Mr. Du Bois and not continue, as he wants us to do, abusing everybody of the white race. But Du Bois has better sense than appears on the surface. He was always telling the white people that the Garvey organization hated the white race, and that was how he tried to get the white race prejudiced against Garvey and the organization, so hat the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People could have collected money from the white people to destroy Garvey, and pay salaries. Garvey is now informing the white people of the truths of and what his organization stands for. Du Bois and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People don't like that. They throw up their hands now and say Garvey is a traitor, Garvey is insane. But Garvey is not half crazy yet, and if Du Bois is crying out now, what will be the white Garvey is fully crazy? To repeat, whether Garvey is in jail, sent home that won't ease the troubles of Du Bois or the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The only time their troubles will cause it when they come together and meet Again I repeat, it is a pity to have in white so much spare of W. A. R. M. that because he is not worth it, but the man provides rest, and sometimes passes gets the better of us. Yet, what I have said is not in passion. It is merely explanation of what I believe of W. E. R. Du Bois. More than what I have written to the Billingham of Du Hoe in the Crown of May, 1924. With very best wishes, I have the honor to be. Your obedience serving "AFRICA FOR AFRICANS," NEGROES' SLOGAN Nailing Another Lie From the Lips of the Scandal-Mongers WHITE MAN CONDEMNS MISRULE IN NIGERIA THE SPOTLIGHT Twelve Earth Negroes May This and Lazy That After 100 Years Following Father's Testimony BY NORTON THOMAS Twelve Negroes were recently arrested in La Grange, Ill. we are told by the Lincoln News Service, charged with vagrancy (a very elastic offense) and convicted. They were put to work on the stance. As they were passing a mall entrance, James burst forth from the building. Leaving their guard, the men runed into the building and worked side by side with attendants of the hospital in carrying the helpless patients to points of safety. One Negro specially distinguished himself by dealing into a fanning corridor and rescuing an invalid white woman, while spectators observed his bravery. "You can't keep men like that in jail," said the La Grange chief of police, painting to the hero. The twelve Negroes were released with a 8' banner. "You can't keep men like that in jail." Vern can. Neither can you keep men like that in hoods, economic, political or social, forever. The Negro is a MAN, and must come into his own. It is only a matter of time. A great bus and cry was raised in Democratic, Liberty-leaving New York recently over the prospect of Paul Reagan, a Negro actor, appearing opposite a white actress in "All God's Children Got Wings." The exigencies of the play required that the actress kiss the Negro's hand. Heaven! This would never do! So the white newspapers got busy working up a Ku Klux sentiment. But white folks cheered when a Negro convict hugged a white woman—carrying her to safety. This fooler question is a very puzzling thing. Killing would say: "O it's lazy this, and lazy that. And Thangs him up, the bruise! But it's 'Hercules Mister Negro.' When the names begin to shoot." There has been another "riot" in British Ghana, South America. The "Riot Act" was read, so it is fit and proper to detail the happenings a "riot" "five people perman. all East Indians, as far as can be ascertained, were killed, and six were wounded. The shooting was the citizen's act of four-day demonstration by Mbago and most Indian workmen and soldiers pay—the one, besides the "riot" was killed or wounded, for the police, prison, then some of the "rioters" armed even a schoolboys "Dalai" all joined. The worker in British Guiana, as in the islands of the West Indies, has a very trying time. He is a starvation wage. When commissions sit to arbitrate between employer and employee, they assess wages from consideration of what the poor worker does, not what he, a human being, should eat; how much he pays for the begging-calling novel he is forced to call 'Bob'; not what he should be enabled to pay for habitable living rooms. Representatives of the people, honourable gentlemen of the Court of Justice, or the Legislature, or the House of Assembly, or some much Parliament, sometimes sit on those commissions. But they want to make history for the most they want to become King's Counsel (M. C. 'e'), and Members of the British Empire (M. B. E.'s), and Knight Commissioners of the Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George (M. C. H. G.'s). They must have their own polite. So they whiteswah the people's needs. Washington, on the northern coast of North America, is one of the oldest British colonial possessions, potentially. Ningty thousand square miles, in area, it has a population of seventy. A century of British rule, and eighty-nine miles of railroad, the railroad company obscure white Britishers.

TRIP AROUND THE GLOBE WITH A WEST INDIAN LIVE WIRE SAILOR SOME INTERESTING PEOPLE OF KENYA, BRITISH EAST AFRICA Garveyism Spreading Among the Natives—Growing Disposition to Resent Injustice—West Indian in Africa Sends Message, "Keep Up the Fight; Africa Is Following On" By M. BRAITHWAITE (Government from last issue) That the white man's system of oppression in India is nearing its end, and is apparent to the most conservative traveller, cannot be gainsaid. This is also evident in our homeland, Africa, which a few incidents I will refer to later will prove. I can assure my brothers that in none of the countries I have visited, including Egypt, is the "paleface" looked upon with fear and trembling; no longer does it represent a semi-god; thanks to the awakening of the great mass of people through the clarion calls of the world's greatest humanitarians of the colored races, Mahatma Gandhi, Marcus Garvey, and we must not forget Zaghul Pasha, of Egypt. The last named was exiled for trying to free his people, but today he is restored not only to his native land but to power, being now Prime Minister in the Egyptian Government. Gandhi has been approached by the Indian Government, asking him to sit on a commission to investigate matters relating to the government. It only requires us of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to hold on a little longer when, we, too, will reap the first benefit of our programme. Kenya, Land of Big Opportunities Our next port was Mombasa, Kenya. British East Africa. Soon after our arrival two native gentlemen came on board on business. They spoke to me in the most friendly manner, and in a few minutes they raised the cry "Africa for the Africann." They had heard of Garegistan, but did not quite understand it and had never seen The Negro World, so I gave them what copies I had. One of them, Mr. Muse Mohamed, is a wealthy man, owns a large plantation and is also the proprietor of a very successful shipping supply business. He was educated in Germany and speaks German, French and English fluently. The other, Mr. Ahmed All, is in partnership with him. I think he (Mr. Ahmed All) also operates a rickshaw service. A rickshaw is a light two-wheeled conveyance, somewhat like the Victoria carriage, which is drawn by a man (or "boy," as they are called), who will run the entire journey—whether it is one mile or more. Rickshaws are extensively used in Africa, India and is practically all Eastern countries. The gentlemen are on the committee of two associations—the Coast Arab and Lami Malendi Takungo, having as their main object the elevation and settlement of natives. They are really working on the lines of the U. N. I. A. They were delighted to receive copies of The Negro World and promised to become subscribers. Before we left this port these gentlemen had sent copies to other parts, even to Zanabar, an island just off the coast. One of Mr. Mohamed's most prized possessions is our "Button." When he heard it was the button of the association and represented the African flag he asked for it and said "Thank God." There are West Indian professional men in Kenya, one of them, a lawyer, is also a landowner. Mr. All told me that good land can be purchased for just over $4 per acre. Mr. Musee Mohamed's business address is in Ship Chandler and Butcher, Fruit Market, Mombasa, Kenya. The following is an advertisement taken from the Cardiff Weekly mail, South Wales: "Bottle in Kenya; Wheat, Coffee, Cattle, Sheep, Maize, Flax, Fruit, Tea, sugar, Hemp—a land of big opportunities; fit place (or a white man to live in and make good); the colony where success equals enterprise and investment brings profitable business. A temperate climate, no income tax and a government anxious to help. Investigate the possibilities of Kenya." Native Nature Slow for Slow It is very gratifying to learn from responsible person of the naïve growing determination to defend them- self against the arrogance and exp- p�ion of their Canadian pastors. I will have a dishonor in evidence. A good way to in charge of his man- sion of the (also a native) was used for a mission to take him back to the world's outstakes. To be the best working for his people and their others. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 10, 1924 had to be postponed, as the European was then lying in hospital with a very much disfigured face. A native motor driver was refused his fare by a European and was treated in a manner similar to the above mentioned native. In this case, however, retaliation was immediate and the fare was paid. It is also the practice of some of the Europeans to engage a rickshaw and at the end of their journey dismiss the "boy" with a kick. The practice, however, a fast diminishing, as the "boys" are returning a blow for a blow. The men that load soda phosphate are gathered from different parts of the interior and live in compounds. They have not yet evolved the spirit of other workers who discharge and Editor Mitchell Says the Editor of the Negro World Has "A Long Head," and He Knows (From the Riahmond Planet) The editor of the New York Negro World has what we call in Southern vernacular, "a long head." This means that he possesses wisdom. We read with interest his comment upon President General Garvey's article expressing his determination to help Liberia and making a plea for all Negroes, who are dissatisfied to go there. He says: Liberia has a place in the sun already. It is an independent Republic. It is a member of the League of Nations. The government of the United States is peculiar interest the country, and so in many of its people as are of American parentage, whioh no other country has. The people speak the English language and are Christians and they have a splendid domain of agricultural general and other resource efficient for all numerous people and the basis of a splendid export trade in coffee, dyes, hard wood and rubber. They all await intelligent cultivation and development, and the people in it come to use them. They to go are encouraged to do so; those who do not want to go are encouraged to give their moral support to those who do. In the use of his language, the editor of The Negro World soars in the upper atmosphere above the zone of legitimate criticism. He concludes as follows: It is the duty of the members and well-wishers of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to help make Liberia a great Negro Republic. Their intelligence, industry and thrift, and their moral support will help do so. We must be generous and doubt there will be a generous and ceptance of the invitation by the dissatisfied Negroes of the United States, of the West Indies and of Latin America. Those who are not dissatisfied, and who want to remain in the countries of the world, are sympathetic and help those who are dissatisfied and want to go. The way is plain enough for both sorts of people and there is plenty of work for both sorts to do—work that will make for their satisfaction and benefit and for that of their posterity. Put your shoulder to the ground and help on the good and necessary work. We endorse every word penned by him and any justice-loving fair-minded citizen, irrespective of racial opinion, can do the same thing. These utterances, as before stated, are above legitimate criticism and show that truly the age of reason is at hand. FROM THE WASHINGTON PRESS Negro newspapers that headline crime and scandal to the exclusion of other news are greater enemies of the race than the most rabid Southern white paper. The white paper in headlining Negro crime is carrying out its principles of race prejudice, while the Negro paper that does it is a traitor and hypocrite. The Chicago Defender has the largest circulation of any colored paper in this country. It is sold on more white newspapers than any other colored paper and is no doubt read by more white people than all the rest of the colored paper. It is not fair to the race for the Defender, as the exponent of the race to beheaded, and print practically all of its front page in crime and murder. The Defender is not true to the race, which it is supposed to portray the better, side of and to defend against all adverse influences. On the contrary, it carries an awful indictment against the real evil time, time it leased with these criminal headlines of crime. AN ADVENTURER EXECUTED IN LIBERIA FOR MURDER DuBois Tries to Make American Public Believe the Criminal Was a Representative of the Universal Negro Improvement Association FACTS OF CASE AS TOLD BY A WEST AFRICAN In view of the fact that Dr. DuBois is trying to deceive the American public into believing that a representative of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in Liberia has been executed for murder, The Negro World sets forth the following facts anent the circumstances leading up to the execution of Milton J. Marshall in Liberia, as related to us by a native African, who was for some time a representative of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in Liberia: NEGRO IN A SICK WORLD MUST BE EDUCATED Educated to Respect Himself and Fortify Himself by Studying the History of His Own Race NATIONHOOD NECESSARY To the Editor of The Negro World: LOOKING over the pages of a daily newspaper my attention was attracted to an advertisement with this caption, "The Jew in a Sick World." This was the subject of a lecture that was to be given by a noted Jewish educator to his race. At the sight of this advertisement, the question came in my mind, "How about the Negro in a sick world," and what is he doing towards his readjustment in this great infirmary that holds so many people and races? If the Jew, with his powerful institutions, financial and educational, as well as his racial cohesiveness, needs to adjust himself, surely the Negro, who is very much an invalid in world affairs, needs adjustment badly. The Negro is the sick man in the world today. His case is so desperate that it requires careful study and manipulation in order that he may live. Embued with a feeling of incapability rather than confidence in his own inventive and indomitable power to survive, he is naturally the weakling of the world's racial group. A race without a country it can call its own, subjugated by almost every other group, he seems to have lost ambition, pride and racial progressiveness. Self-help seems to be the outstanding laxity of the Negro race. The belief that no member of the race can achieve anything seems to play a dominant part in the make-up of the race. Hence, the difficulty that is encountered by so many ambitious men and women in the race to successfully launch any enterprise of merit and receive loyal support and co-operation from the majority. This is very discouraging, as it thwarts the creative powers of the race and hinders its progressive march to wealth and happiness. How are we as a race to overcome this lack of confidence, support and cohesiveness of (Continued on page 8) AN ADVENTURER IN LIBER DuBois Tries to Make An Criminal Was a Represen Negro Improven FACTS OF CASE AS TOL In view of the fact that Dr. American public into believing the versal Negro Improvement Assocuted for murder, The Negro Wanent the circumstances leading Marshall in Liberia, as related to for some time a representative of ment Association in Liberia: Milton J.

The U. N. I. A. took steps to put an end to his operations, and, fearing he had placed himself within reach of the arm of the law, Marshall migrated to West Africa.

Barrow, and Others PETITION TO PRESIDENT One of the most largely attended meetings of a racial or political nature that New York has seen took place Sunday of last week at Renaissance Canino, when the Associated Virgin Islands Societies of New York turned out 3,000 strong to listen to the report of Hon. Charles E. Mitchell, of Institute, W. Va., and secretary of the Federal All-Negro Commission sent by President Coolidge to investigate conditions in the Virgin Islands. Held under the auspices of the Virgin Islands Congressional Council, of which Casper Holstein is president, the meeting was marked also by the speeches of Dr Hubert H. Harrison, of the Board of Education lecture staff, himself a native of Santa Cruz, Virgin Islands, and the Rev. R. G. Barrow, who, in the words of Commissioner Mitchell, was "departed from the Virgin Islands because he dared defend a slander against his wife." Rev. Barrow, who is a native of Barbados. British West Indies, was deported from the islands over a year ago. He is at present a graduate student at Northwestern University, and came all the way from Evanston, Ill., especially to address the meeting. Through the efforts of Casper Holstein. Rev. Barrow was able also to see his wife, Mia. Barrow, who arrived in New York a week ago on her way to address the A. M. E. Conference, which convenes shortly at Louisville. Ky. This was the first Barrow reunion since the reverend's deportation over a year ago. One of the features of the meeting was the presence of Louis J. Jeppe, an old patriot, who for twenty-five years had been a lending figure in the affairs of Virgin Islanders when these people were known as natives of the Danish West Indies. Roger N.

The U N I A authorities there promptly put a stop to his antics. Failing to have his coffees replenished through his illegal operations, Marshall induced one Edmund, also an American citizen, to go into business with him. With Edmunds he went into the heart of the native state and there he is supposed to have entered into business relations with Edmunds, hunting for monkey skins for export to America. Unfortunately for the victim, Marshall was aware that he carried large sums of money, amounting to some three to five thousand dollars. One morning he went a-hunting with Edmunds and returned alone. Questioned as to the whereabouts of his partner, he said they had separated. There were blood spots on his clothing, however, and questioned as to this, he said it was blood from a monkey that had been shot. The monkey was not forthcoming, however, and Marshall was arrested on suspicion and sent to Monrovia. The authorities at Monrovia started investigations, and Edmunds' body was found floating in a river. It was found that he had been shot in the back. Two native girls gave evidence of having seen Marshall dragging the body to the river and piling stones on it. He was tried and convicted. He appealed to the highest court, and the conviction was affirmed. At no time was Marshall supported by U. N. L. A. funds from the parent body, New York; or the local body in Liberia. It cannot even be ascertained that he was ever a member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. He was a common adventurer, who, after various vicissitudes of fortune, found his way to Liberia. So much for the entrapment canard being broadcast to Duba. TEARING THE VEIL FROM BRITAIN'S POLICY OF OPPRESSION IN NIGERIA SOME 18,600,000 NEGROES KEPT IN ECONOMIC SLAVERY Too Much Taxation and Too Many Parasitical Hangerson on Pay Rolls—Inconsistencies of Governor Clifford: Would Advance Native's Welfare by Denying Rights of Commerce By J. M. STUART-YOUNG (White Author and Post) The following illuminating article on British rule in Nigeria has been sent to the Negro World by Mr. J. M Stuart-Young, white author and poet who has traveled extensively, and lives in Africa. The Second Session of the Legislative Council of Nigeria may well become historic. But it will be known in future years as memorable, more because of Sir Hugh Clifford's skillful evasion of points at issue than for actual work done. Sir Hugh has once more proven himself heritor of the more stubborn traditions of circumlouction—How Not To Do It! Nigeria's taxation today is onerous. That fact is indisputable. Not all Sir Hugh's brilliant dialectic will drive the Truth away—that it is onerous because of official waste. We have been asking in vain during many months for a pledge of curtailment. Lord Leverhulme was sweeping in his generalizations. But we all know what he meant—that no community ought to be taxed among its masses to minister to the luxuries of its classes. This is as sound logic for Nigeria as for the British Sales or the United States. Whether the classes be members of the same race as the masses—or whether they be allen overlords—the dictum stands firm. What Sir Hugh said about seaborne traffic is certainly true. His reference, however, to Warren Hastings, and that first Governor-General's impetuation, is rather unfortunate in such a connection. For does not Sir Hugh evade a tremendous truth—that without imports or merchandise and exports of produce, Nigeria (mainly because of its kindly sun, its rich soil, and the natural contestment of its population) would never advance to Western levels of that intricate thing which we call "Civilization"? Can't Have it Both Ways I am not going to say whether it is desirable for the African to advance altogether on European lines! On that point I guard my own dreams. But Sir Hugh can't have it both ways. If he denies the Leverhulme-Batty postulate—the postulate that sea-borne traffic is essential to the advancement of our tropical colonies—the must then argue at once for a self-supporting native community, growing its own food stuffs, manufacturing its own wearing apparel, and mainly living in a sort of parochial self-sufficiency. To the eyes of every man of sense the picture is delectable. But will it work? And in those rustic circumstances, what becomes of Sir Hugh's wonderful bureaucracy"—that "cost of administration and development of the country" which is his argument for taxation? Would there, do you think, be the same need, the same justification, the same urge for "officials" to batten upon the revenue—whether that revenue derived from duties upon imports and exports, or from native courts? What, in such circumstances, about commerce? And what of the railways? Each district would soon be found living upon its own resources, and only nature's overplus (that is to say the produce not deliberately cultivated and harvested from the soil) would be open for shipment to Europe and America. What kind of picture is this to place before Messra. Leverhulme, Batty, Phillips and others?—the vested commercial interest! Obviously, also, the less produce exported, the less importation would there be of "white" manufactures. The cotton operatives of Lancashire would be the very first people to suffer from such a state of things; as everybody in West Africa nowadays, no mat what his rank or station, is belo-ocazed or bludgeoned into three times as much clothing to climate demands! Let us be logical, Sir Hugh, even if to be so we may, to appear aburd! For Governor Clifford makes the position of the world's supply of this commodity so uncomfortably clear that the African could not be blamed for a sudden revolution toward derision. He might very reasonably charge his shoulders and exclaim, "Why trouble to grow anything at all beyond my own belly-need?" By producing for export I am only seeking future economic problems of the most distressing blind—if not for my own land, at least for some other' Better for me, better for mine, if I attend to my own little acre of soil, eat my modest fill of home-grown produce and wear the minimum of clothing' Read the desolate picture Sir Hugs has painted of Trinidad,—The people producing something which could only be of value if they were able to dispose of it by export—a condition which has nearly brought to ruin the LET'S PUT IT OVER splendid estates, etc. etc." Is it really clear to us that world problems arise from this policy of putting all one's eggs into one basket? Is it not clear (according to Sir Hugh) that problems arise from having any eggs to take to market at all? Governor Clifford's Mistake The bedrock truth is that Sir Hugh takes its wide a view of economics for Nigeria's mental comfort. He discerned every man of color three years ago by his attack on the Negro dream of "Social Equality," for he the postulated as much difference between the African of Nigeria and African on the North of Tripoli as exists between Teuton and Gaul, Slav and Anglo-Saxon. He forgot that the Africa has only one slogan today. "Black is Black!" Here he is again painting an idealistic picture of self-supporting little states, in direct opposition to the admission that "revenue depends upon ocean-borne trade." We have to remember one thing. Sir Hugh stands toward Nigeria not the preposition of Guide, Philosopher and Friend, but as Governor. We may admire him for his versatility personality, but we want him essentially to govern. The community today is looking to ward him to solve its economic problems. And it feels, irritably, impotently, that those problems might more readily be solved if Sir Hugh would come a little closer to statistics and be less abstract in his vision. Nigeria does not ask for idealistic pictures of what might be, but for satisfactory explanations of what is If, as he contends, the 18,000,000 Africans of Nigeria are under British rule so that may enjoy their lives to the fullest possible measure and with the least possible interference, the community wants to know why it grooves under taxation in the way that it does? Bir Hugh has not yet cracked his nut. He has not accounted for the vast community of "hangers-on" and "parasite" of public life. I bag to say that I am using both terms in their dictionary sense; and with no intention to offend, nor am I advising dress to changes. The reader has only need to look at Russia to realise what an application of "revolution"介 in the way of suffering. But the community feels that there is waste in it.

May 4 — Liberty Hall, with its seating capacity for several thousands, was nearly taxed to the utmost tonight with an audience that waxed warm with enthusiasm over the instructive and enlightening speeches that were delivered by the executive officers that are carrying on in a creditable way the work of the New York local and the parent body of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the absence of the president-general. Hon Marcus Garvey. The liberal manner in which contributions were made to the general offering and to the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company for the purpose of establishing a line of steamships as part of the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association gave living testimony to the fact that the members of the New York local will yield to no other division in their loyalty to the movement and in their untiring efforts to contribute a major share of all that is needed to put over the program of the association. From Detroit came a telegram from the president-general sending greetings and briefly stating the enthusiasm existing in that part of the country for the movement. The message was heartily applauded. Hon. P. L. Burrows, acting secretary-general, spoke on the subject of "individualism," and in the course of a well-reasoned and thoughtful address drew out the importance of individual service as a necessary asset in the making of a race and the building of a nation. In this respect he emphasized the necessity of character building as a prerequisite towards the achievement of service for the good of mankind and especially towards the fulfilment of the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The association, he asserted, since it has come upon the scene, has developed a new inspiration and has shown the Negro the absolute necessity of creating for himself a character that will call forth the admiration of the outside world. He concluded with an exhortation to each and every one to realize what is required of them as individuals, and with that realization backed by determination the program of the association will be achieved. Hon. G. E. Carter, vice-president of the New York local, and chairman of the meeting, spoke on "The Task of Finding Ourselfs." In his talk he pointed out the mutual dependence that existed between the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its members and pleaded for unselfishness in the work of putting over the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Following is the text of the speeches: HON. P. L. BURROWS' ADDRESS The Hon. Percival L. Burrows, Acting Secretary General, was the 1st speaker. He said: The subject on which I shall speak to you for a few moments is one of vital importance to us as a race, and unless we apply it in our lives a good many of us, whether we are members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association or not, will become failures. That subject is "Individualism." The life of an individual plays an important part in his service to his race, in his service to his country, in his service to his community, and last, but not least, in service to himself or herself. While it is true that an idea of undue importance or selfish opinions of one's self lessens the value of service, we, nevertheless, should lay a certain amount of stress upon the important features of our lives as individuals. The Life of the Individual The life of an individual as a citizen plays an important part in his community from a political viewpoint. The life of an individual plays an important part in his religion from a religious viewpoint. The life of an individual plays an important part in his business from a business viewpoint. The life of an individual plays an important part in the development of that man or that woman in himself and for the good that he can do those around him. The development of an individual is bound up in his character and his reputation. we are our own character builders. No man living, whether he be prince or peasant, whether he be rich or poor, whether he is interested in anything in the world or interested in anything out of the world, can ever succeed unless he builds for himself a character. The importance of character building in the Universal Negro Improvement Association, not only collectively, but as individuals, rests with ourselves. Character Building A good many men and women have had good training in the home, but through contact, in some cases, through environment, they are adversely affected, and they claim they cannot overcome the evil. I believe THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 10, 1824 there is a certain amount of strength or will power in every individual that he can use to overcome obstructions and make of them stepping-stones to success. The building of character rests with the mothers of a race. It has been well said that the hand that rocks the cradle rules and dictates the polisies of the world. Therefore, the great men who have left their indefible imprint on the animals of history, who have left the impress of their lives on the minds of individuals and who have come down to us at the present day as ideals from which we can mould our lives, owe much to the mother's influence in the home. The poor, unfortunate boy, or girl, that loses a mother's training, that loses a father's training, and in spite of all the handicaps, succeeds in building for himself a character is well worth commandation. Reputation Built on Character On the other hand, the reputation of an individual is largely responsible for his influence in religion, in business, in science, in art, or in any other field of life. What is reputation? Reputation is that building from outside, that superstructure that is built upon the foundation of character, and that character built upon the corrostrone of virtue. The reputation of an individual, therefore, is also worthy of consideration. Some men get reputation, get notoriously by spending the major part of their lives behind prison here. We are not dealing with that kind of a reputation. We are dealing with the question from the better side of life, and we k.l. w. that from our contact with men and women, from what we do and say, from our actions we are measured. The U. N. J. A.'s Incentive The U. N. I. A.'s incentive Unfortunately for the Negro, in the majority of cases he is measured and has been measured for centuries by other races from the lowest standard. But today the Universal Negro Improvement Association has come upon the scene and it has developed a new inspiration; it has developed a new feeling; it has shown the Negro the absolute necessity of creating for himself a character, the point of view of developing that reputation or that character that will call forth the admiration of men on the outside. Man. build your reputation; build your character. You must first build your character in order that you may be able to accomplish the things in life which will build for you the reputation which you need. Individualism, therefore, plays an important part in the life of a race. Individualism plays an important part in the life of a nation. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is calling upon individuals to play their parts nobly and well. At this time we are called upon to play that part with greater determination, with more fervor, with more earnestness of purpose, and with greater sincerity than ever before in our lives or within the life of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The Influence of Individuals The influence of individuals Individuals have left their influence all down the ages, Buddha, Mohammed, and all the great reformers, such as Martin Luther, Jerome, Knox and others, who have done much for religion. In war and in peace, in business and in everything else, the life of the leader plays an important part in the fortunes of those whom he leads. The life of the individual within the Universal Negro Improvement Associa- . tion must be so ordered, so formed, so developed as to play the part which we are calling upon you to play for the benefit of the straggling members of this race of outra. You must remember that it is not the officers of the association that are accomplishing this great task, but it is you members that are pushing us, and as long as you push us to the front we must shoulder our responsibilities or get out of the way and let somebody else carry on. Conventions are passed; the convention is coming. Let us prepare ourselves to see into the things which, perhaps, we have forgotten, which we have lost sight of, which we have slackened about. Prepare ourselves at all times to speak the truth boldly and fearlessly. I have no use for cowards. And what is a coward? A coward is that man who stands in fear of man, is afraid to make the attempt to do something that he knows he is capable of doing. That is a coward in the truest sense of the word. Men fearless and bold are the men who will take a chance even if they fall in the attempt to do. The spirit of this association, the principles of this association, of this great cause, call for the individual development of the individual character, call for the development of the individual reputation, with the assistance of your outside brothers. They will watch you and they will mark you and measure your footsteps, and according to your ability, and according to your earnest efforts and according to your conscientiousness, they will be able to help you build and help you to prepare for the great work which you have got to do. Tonight, I believe, everyone of you is interested in racial uplift; I believe everyone of you is interested in the progress and development of Africa; I believe everyone of you is interested in putting ships upon the watera. We cannot become real pioneers in Africa, we cannot develop Africa, we cannot assist the backward tribes of Africa unless we put ships upon the ocean. Each one of you will realise, therefore, that the responsibility rests with you as an individual and with us as a whole. With your support, with your co-operation, backed with determination and earnestness, we will achieve success (applause). HON. Q. E. CARTER SPEAKS Hon G. E. Carter spoke on the subject, "The Task of Finding Ourselfs." The value of any man, he said, to himself, to a community, to a group, to an organization, to a race or to a nation is his ability to realize that he is an integral part of a whole. That he is a necessary integral part of a whole; that he is not the whole thing, but that he is part of the whole and that the whole cannot exist without his contribution. Therefore if he is a necessary part the whole is dependent upon him and he is dependent upon the whole; one cannot exist without the other. Part of a Great Whale When a man comes to that place in his existence that he realizes that he is this necessary part, then that man is in a position to be of service to himself, to be of service to the community, to be of service to his race and to be of service to his nation. In the scheme of life we may well consider that we are all a part of a great circle the center of which is the master mind, Christ, God or anything you want to call Him. We make up the circumference and each of us comes upon the stage of action equally distant from that center, whether or not we keep the distance that was given to us at the beginning depends wholly and solely upon the efforts that we put forth in the working out of the scheme of life. Some man forget that they are part of a whole and relegate to themselves the assumption that they are the whole, and in this assumption they are likely to set forth many things that looked at and read by the world will prove conclusively that they are nothing more nor less than selfishness in one human bundle. Let me amplify this: Recently somebody wrote under the caption of "Marcous Garvey a Traitor or a Lunatic." A traitor, why? Simply because he had the courage, simply because he had the foresight, simply because he realized the fact that he was an integral part of a whole and dared to stand up and say in the presence of men that "if you don't do certain things to better your economic condition in this country you will find when the struggle for meat and bread becomes keen the white man saving his own and pushing the Negro aside. A traitor because he dared to stand up in the face of every man and woman in the United States and say to them that there is a color caste even in the United States, and that the bright Negro in some instances is doing all that he possibly can to come to that place in his existence where he would like to solve the so-called Negro problem through amalgamation. A traitor because he dared to emphasize that thing with a great deal of understanding and foresight. Garvore Stand in Right Garvey's Stand in Right I know Mr. Garvey is right because it has my privilege this afternoon to represent him in a public meeting in a place which everybody in Harlem was supposed to have an opportunity. At this meeting was presented the boy candidate for Mayor to go to the pum of Jefferson to represent the colored citizens of Harlem, and nobody in the world could ever tell this boy was a Negro boy because of his complication. And yet, he was to represent us all. While I care little for color, yet it is evident that some of the bright Negroes who live in America are doing their best to promote their skilier per- pose. Marens Garvey discovered that This boy is not responsible for his color, it is true, but the people who BLOOD PURIFIER In your BEST RUN-DOWN, wink, tired! In your BLOOD PAIN, "peeweed" this, watery?

Time! Order the selected him to represent the boys of Harim surely ought to have sense enough to know that some brown-skinned or black boy could have been chosen as well as that boy. Marous Garvey is a traitor because he had the courage to stand up against all those things. He saw a hundred years ahead of his day the condition where certain light men were concerned in their white ancestry and that they stealthily hoped to project a plan whereby they could marry off their black women to white men and get a race of byrids, and, if they could not get it in one way, to resort to some other means to achieve the desired end. Garvey discovered those things and told the world, and for this he is considered a traitor by some of those people. Christ Was Called Crazy Not only did they consider him a traitor but a lunatic. He is not the first man that has been called crazy. Every great man who has seen a thing and has had the courage to state that thing to the people has been called crazy. Jesus Christ discovered Christianity, and folks laughed at him and said "You have been going around here talking about saving others; why don't you save yourself? You are foolish; you are crazy, you cannot save others if you cannot save yourself"; so they laughed at him and Jesus submitted to their ridicule, passed off the stage of action and the truth which he came to establish lives on today. Columbus discovered that the earth was round and set out to teach people that common truth: people laughed at him; they said he did not have good sense; he is a lunatic. Columbus went from court to court until somebody became interested in him and he was able to put over a truth which he stood for and which hundreds of years ago has been accepted as the truth, and which scientists are pleased to set forth. Marcus (harvey) is not alone in being classed as a lunatic. There is only one step between genius and insanity, but oh! the markness of that step, and any man or woman who feels the call—the urge of the soul to go forth in defence of his people to bring to them that fortune for which we have longed and sought—that freedom which will enable us to be recognized by all the world—any man who exposes such a cause is likely to be called orsy; but we are glad to accept the teachings of such orsy people and follow them without wavering. (Applause) LET'S PUT IT OVER I know full well that if we realize that we are part of a great whole we will enter in and do the things he has left to our hands. We are an integral and necessary part of this great whole; and since we are a necessary part the Universal Negro Improvement Association cannot do without you, and you cannot do without the Universal. If you think you can do without the Universal, just go out after putting your money in it and make up your mind and say you are not going back to Liberty Hall, and just as soon as you see the folks out on the street making one parade you will come running to Liberty Hall (laughter). You just can't do without it. Some of us get angry at times and say, "I will never put a cent in those plates," I will never put a foot back in the hall; I know I have been mistreated"; but as soon as you sit down and reflect a little you will find yourself casing up on the outside; you want to see what is going or and then somehow you will find your way on the inside; you cannot stay away. (Laughter and applause.) You are a necessary part; you cannot do without the whole thing, and we cannot do without you. Because we know of our intrinsic worth, because we know of your value and because you are able to find yourselves you will be able to help us to put over the task. Let us forget individual efforts; sometimes when we are selfish—when we are of the dubious type—we are likely to forget and deal in personalities. When we do that we are depending to a low plane. No man who is an honest man—who is a good man—has a right to do those things. Let us put over this program and we will realise the fact that we are of value to ourselves, to the organisation, to the race and to the people we are willing to serve and very soon we will realise the desired wishes of our heart in seeing a free and redeemed Africa. (Applause.) WEAKNESS NERVOUSNESS ANEMIA TRED FEELING NEURALGIA Christ Was Called Crazy Interdependent dressed the opening meeting.

I was born free as Garvey; so were you: We three have fed as well; and we can all Endure the Tropic's 'teat, as well as he DuBols. (Nervously.) Another general shout! I do believe, that these applauses are For some new honors that are heaped on Garvey. Why, man, he doth bestride the world of Negroes Like a Colossus; and we petty men Walk under his huge legs, and peep about To find ourselves dishonorable graves. Men at some time are masters of their fates. The fault, dear DuBois, is not in our stars, But in ourselves, that we are underlings. DuBois and Garvey: What should be in that Garvey? Why should that name be sounded more than yours? Write them together, yours is as fair a name; Sound them, it doth become the mouth as well; Weigh them, it is as heavy; conjure with them, DuBois will start a spirit as soon as Garvey. Now, in the names of all the gods at once, Upon what meat doth this our Garvey feed, That he is grown so great? Enough, faithful one. (Sighs.) What you have said. I will consider; what you have to say. I will with patience hear: and find a time Both meet to hear, and answer, such high things. Till then, my noble friend, chew upon this: DuBois had rather be a Nordic. Than to repute himself a son of Ham Under these hard conditions as this time Is like to lay upon us. Well, DuBois, thou art noble; yet I see, Thy honorable metal may be wrought from that it is disposed; therefore, it is meet The noble minds keep ever with their likes. Let Garvey seat him sure; for we will shake him, though worse days endure. NOT BIG GIFT TO THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION It is great importance to the Negro people that they are divided and divided of wealth with plenty of race pride and public respect in the earth. It is important because a poor person is divided of a poor individual—they cannot help others with their needs without help. It requires one online wealth to create wealth and to wisely use it. Money is the coined blood of the individual, the race or the nation. It takes a dollar's worth of blood to make a dollar's worth of food. All races have not the money making and keeping genius; neither have all individuals, but such races and individuals as do not have it never occupy a very large place in the world's affairs. Sir Isaiah Emanuel Morter of British Honduras, Knight Commander of the Distinguished Service Order of Ethiopia, was a man of the race who knew how to make money and how to use it wisely. He never grew so rich as to get away from the Negro race. He kept in close touch with it; he sympathized with it and he helped it help itself. He believed in the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its work of African redemption and repatriation, and when he died recently he beueathed it between $50,000 and $100,000 of his abundance for the furtherance of its work. That is the first big gift that the association has had beueathed it. In his front page article in The Negro World last week President General Garvey said: "If other Negroes in America and the West Indies will follow the example of Sir Isaiah Emanuel Morter, in helping to make the Universal Negro Improvement Association what it ought to be, then, in a few years, not only will Africa be redeemed, but the whole Negro race will be elevated to a position of world recognition." THE MYTHICAL TEN GREATEST NEGROES I have watched with more or less interest the progress naming the ten greatest Negroes under the auspices of the American Federation of Negro Students, and we surprised at the outcome of the sitting process, because it shows the ignorance of Negro history of those charged with actions, and their poor judgment, especially in the five reasons designated, whom we do not need to mention by name. The Negro World, because we can never know in advance what living man, small or great, may not be imprisoned or hang, climax of his smallness or greatness, as the case may be. So to say that the living five do not represent the great men of today, not all of them, and perhaps only one of them, and George Washington Carver, the scientist, of Tuskegee Institution, the five dead placed among the ten are Frederick Doug's second place, Madame C. J. Walker, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Charles Young and Booker T Washington, the latter given a race. It would be possible to recast the list and replace it, led out with others greater than they, so that we should in the elimination only Douglass, Dunbar and Washington. Marcus Garvey is not a native-born American, but he has done to unify the Negro race and to arouse its sense of obligation itself, in the United States, the West Indies, Latin America, than all the living five have done bunched in their petites and the work they have accomplished. The ten greatest Negroes the race in America has produced it to be named. GREAT TO DEPORT EAST INDIANS FROM AFRICA MRS. NAIDU, the East Indian poetess, has been stirring the white people of South Africa in such a way as to draw from the Cape Times a threat that she should "a stern warning that any further attempts to create trouble white and black in South Africa will entail her immediate removal from the country which she has taken it upon herself." That is the intolerant and high-handed attitude of the man wherever he has the upper hand. "Think and do as I say, I thrust you out or hang you," is the way he goes about dealing with black and colored peoples. He has been having an easy fit with his strong arm methods, but he has come upon trouble times in which the black and colored peoples are protected petitioning and striking back, or threatening to do so. Mrs. Naidu had been calling South Africa "the Universal expression out of which Gandhi graduated," and in which her people been "treated worse than dogs," and she asserted that both East Indians and the European whites were "interlopers in a man's country." This was very hot stuff, and we can easily saw the little lady should rule the Cape Times and the white country by feeding them large chunks of it. It was in March that Mrs. Naidu was stirring up South Africa. April the Cape Parliament was doing the like thing by discuss the Class Areas Bill, in which many harsh things were said to Indians, who are to be segregated as the blacks are located with which measures of class legislation are stirring up trouble in British Government both in South Africa and East India. It denial of social and political equality asked for by the East Indians and stubbornly denied the blacks, is bound to become more troublesome for the British Government, the proper definition of the citizenship rights of black and colored and East Indians being a live one which will constantly clamor for a heir until it is finally disposed of one way or another. The oppressor everywhere and of every sort is finding the tough and uncertain, with protests and petitions fronting his very turn. I have watched with more or less interest the progress of naming the ten greatest Negroes under the auspices of the American Federation of Negro Students, and we are not surprised at the outcome of the sitting process, because it really shows the ignorance of Negro history of those charged with the selections, and their poor judgment, especially in the five living persons designated, whom we do not need to mention by name in The Negro World, because we can never know in advance whether a living man, small or great, may not be imprisoned or hanged as the climax of his smallness or greatness, as the case may be. Suffice it to say that the living five do not represent the great men of the race today, not all of them, and perhaps only one of them, and that one George Washington Carver, the scientist, of Tuskegee Institute. The five dead placed among the ten are Frederick Doug'ass, in second place, Madame C. J. Walker, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Col. Charles Young and Booker T Washington, the latter given ninth place. It would be possible to recast the list and replace those singled out with others greater than they, so that we should save from the elimination only Douglass, Dunbar and Washington. Marcus Garvey is not a native-born American, but he has done more to unify the Negro race and to arouse its sense of obligation to itself, in the United States, the West Indies, Latin America and Africa, than all the living five have done bunched in their personalities and the work they have accomplished. The ten greatest Negroes the race in America has produced have yet to be named. THREAT TO DEPORT EAST INDIANS FROM AFRICA MRS. NAIDU, the East Indian poetess, has been stirring up the white people of South Africa in such a way as to draw from the Cape Times a threat that she should be given "a stern warning that any further attempts to create trouble between white and black in South Africa will entail her immediate removal from the country which she has taken it upon herself to visit." That is the intolerant and high-handed attitude of the white man wherever he has the upper hand. "Think and do as I say or I will thrust you out or hang you," is the way he goes about dealing with black and colored peoples. He has been having an easy time of it with his strong arm methods, but he has come upon troublesome times in which the black and colored peoples are protesting and petitioning and striking back, or threatening to do so.

Marcus Garvey, in the eyes of the public. dent-General, the Hon Marcus Garvey, in the eyes of the public. Dr W E B DuBois, in a hymn of hate bellowed forth in the May number of the "Crisis," the organ of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, unblushingly declares that Marcus Garvey's "former representative now lies in jail in Liberia, sentenced to death for murder" Dr DuBois' mental aberration has, in recent years, become so marked that many people regard it as so much time wasted replying to his chortling, especially where the Universal Negro Improvement Association is concerned. The orgy of inaccurate detraction and vituperative abuse in which he and his henchmen are indulging occasions no more than a shrug of the shoulders from the thinking world of Negroes. So well may we let him pass. But now comes the "Pittsburgh Courier," giving great prominence to a news item in which it is stated that the "Head of the U. N. I. A. in Liberia was executed. Cause not known." The "Pittsburgh Courier" has been none too friendly in its attitude towards the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but we have always tried to give them credit for being honest with themselves and desiring to be honest with the public. The facts of the case, out of which detractors of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are seeking to make capital, are set forth in another column of The Negro World. We shall wait and see whether we are correct in our appraisement of the "Pittsburgh Courier." An analysis of the primary election returns, indicates that the "Mililimns from the South became inoperative when the State lilies was reached. the little corn mark on his ballot. But that was before the advent of Man is the unit of the world's thought, word and act. What he determines is the thing to be done. He may be right or he may be wrong, it little matters; he is the master. How he uses his unlimited power in his relations with his fellows and with the dumb creatures committed to his care, dumb creatures all of whom have a language of their own, is another question. As he sows he reaps. That may appear paradoxical. If he is the master what he determines and does should be final, and it is; but his thought and word and act must be wise and just and truthful, or he contradicts himself and must suffer the consequences. Why is that? Because the laws of the physical and of the spiritual world are much the same. We can't understand why it is so, except that it was so ordained in the beginning. And that it is which has puzzled the wisest and made them as little children in dealing with the phenomena. I have a knife and can cut my finger if I am foolish enough to do so. There is no law against my doing it. It is my knife, it is my finger. But I pay for violating the physical law by loss of blood, and much pain, and perhaps by death. The spiritual law evens the violation of the physical law. What mankind shall think and say and do is much a matter of education. So with an individual. There have always been schools of men who teach certain doctrines which become th. law o. the people and of the time and place. We style them in their generations as oracles, mystics, prophets, priesthoods, philosophers. It depends. Just now one part of mankind is dominated by the teachings of Jesus and his apostles and by Mohammed and his believers. They have conquered the thought of the world who have been educated in the doctrines which those two enunciated. Neither the followers of Jesus or of Mohammed are considered philosophers, nor as representatives of schools of philosophy. They simply accept without question certain systems of belief based in the teachings of Jesus and Mohammed. Just now there is much rebellion against the principle in both systems which raul has described as Faith, the substance of things not seen. Educated mankind are beginning to demand much more than that; they want a reason for the faith. With the doubting position in which the believers in all faiths are just now taking I have nothing to do right now, the point is to show that mankind are governed for the most part by the education they receive. As the twig is bent the tree inclines. If generations of people are taught to think in a given way they will be governed in their conduct by the principles they have been taught in the schools, whether of Church or State The education which the Negro has always received in the schools of the white races has been the white man's viewpoint of everything and the Negro's viewpoint of nothing. This has resulted in a depreciation of Negro manhood and capacities which the Negro has to unlearn before he can accomplish anything worth while He's beginning to do this in schools of his own not dominated by white principles of life and death. Even Premier Jan Christian Smuts of South Africa has reached the conclusion that the native Africans no longer "regard white men as gods." Why should they? As Paul told the Cretans, they are men the same as we are. The man who thinks for himself is a rare creature. Most people do not understand him when he appears on the scene and undertakes to do business as one of them. But he is the man in every community who blazes a way for himself and for those of his less fortunate brethren who are unable to do their own thinking and must have a teacher and a leader. So in the nation; so in the big world. How few such men are it is easy for each of us to determine Think for yourself. If you can't, then follow your neighbor who is willing to think for you.

A. not now requiring the Negro World regulating every week is asked to communicate immediately with The Circulation Dept. Negro World; 28 West 138th St. New York City WHAT WE BELIEVE THE Universal Negro Improvement Association advocates the uniting and blending of all Negroes into one strong healthy race. It is against miscegenation and race suicide. It believes that the Negro race is as good as any other, and therefore should be as proud of itself as others are. It believes in the purity of the Negro race and the purity of the white race. It is against rich blacks marrying poor whites. It is against rich or poor whites taking advantage of Negro women. It believes in the spiritual Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhod of Man. It believes in the social and political physical separation of all people to the extent that they promote their own ideals and civilization, with the privilege of trading and doing business with each other. It believes in the promotion of a strong and powerful Negro nation. It believes in the rights of all men. UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSN. MARCUS GARVEY, President-General January 1, 1924. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS ganda by contenancing a debate on the subject.—Washington Tribune. The tightening down on the social clubs and soft drinkeries have caused the opening up many private houses of a certain class for weekly struts and house dances, where women and men lead a thousand per cent more debaucheery than ever before. Cabarets in their worst way did not compare with the present evil of House Struts. The only similarity was when the segrated district was closed, and the people of that section were scattered throughout the city, but this is mild as to what is being carried on today Struts—and the law cannot reach them.—J. A. Ross in Buffalo Express. Mrs. Charles Guggenheimer, chairman of the Philharmonie Orchestra has announced that the study of Jazz will be taken seriously at the American Academy in Rome, and in the near future a chair will be established. Jazz music in having a distinct bearing on the work of the musical composers of the world and should be more recognized. This may appear satisfactory to the composers of classical music and people of delicate ears who would like to have "the wild harbariic sounds" attuned to their discriminating senses. but the dance devotees would much prefer to have their jazz untamed and untouched.-Boston Chronicle. The thoughtless and sneering slip of Bishop Clement's utterance in the Stair of last week did not harmonize with his caption. Of course Dr. Walls defended the position of the delegates who exercised their privilege in their own rights to satisfaction. The Bishop seems to be looking backward when he intimates that none but the Bishops should think and plan for the work of the General Conference. Years and years ago the delegates did wait for orders from the Bishops to direct their action and most of the ignorant and thoughtless preachers and delegates pulled and tugged at the coat-tail of the Bishops, asking them "what will you have me to do?"; then the Bishop would say "vote for this or that," and it was done. But this is a new day—this is 1924 and the men are thinking some for themselves—Progressive Messenger bandage over an extensive area which has been painted with iodine, as a blister may result from such a procedure.) A larger wound should be shown to your physician to receive at his hands the proper treatment. Always go to a physician for treatment when a rusty nail has punctured the tissues. Injuries received from firecrackers, etc., should be treated promptly by a doctor, as there is particular danger from tetanus in these cases. Never injure the tissue around the finger nails. If you have torn away a hang nail and open up the skin, treat that opening as you would treat a cut. The best treatment for it is to let iodine run down along the edge of the finger nail and into the open surface. Do not remove silvers with pins. Take a needle and heat it in a flame or sterilize it by boiling before using. If you must open pimples or blackheads, take a clean piece of linen and cover the ends of your fingers with so that the surface of the clean cloth comes next to the skin. Wash the skin carefully with soap and water after doing these things. Apply camphor water drying the skin. Never scratch the skin with your finger nails, as in the nails, no matter how clean they are kept, are accumulated various germs. Do not neglect trifling wounds. Remember that they may cause the loss of a finger, on hand, etc., or blood poisoning and death. If the all-wise Creator erected barriers for the preservation of racial integrity, why Virginia's latest miscengation law and other humiliating and ignomious laws designed particularly to stamp inferiority upon a race. The Suffolk News set up the implication that in a Republic citizenship and the right of suffrage may be entirely divorced. Any element of society that contributes to the support of society's government through the payment of taxes and spills its blood for the preservation of that government against its enemies is entitled to a participation in the affairs of that government, according to its ability to interpret governmental amenities.—Norfolk Journal and Guide. Many of our people who are loudest in their talk of race pride are found wanting when it comes to show their race pride by patronizing race enterprises. There's a vast difference between word and deed—Omaha Monitor When the Negro press speaks of the good it is doing indulges in no idle boast. It can point to concrete causes. It can even call upon its readers as witnesses. The power of the press is indisputable. The Negro press is an the watchman on the wall. No other agency or institution has as fully served the race in this particular capacity. Always sensitive always awake, always vigilant, always courageous, the race papers have exposed wrong, defended the wrong assaulted injustice, and plead for justice. They have spoken for those who could not speak for themselves and fought for those who were too weak or timid to fight for themselves. The necessity for doing this is so great that race papers cannot stop because of lack of appreciation, and the good they are doing is so satisfying that they must be excused for telling the public about it—Louisville Leader Sogregation in schools is gradually advancing Northward and should not be augmented by our leading universities' propaganda.

B. B. HERBEN Of the New York Tuberculosis Association Short Cuts to Heaven Of course, you folks in town do not have any chance to slash your hands with skidles, or cut off toes with the lawn mower, but you do get cuts and you do run pins and needles or nails into yourselves. A pin prick or a small cut may be just as much a manace to your life as the more spectacular accidents, because into any opening of the skin may go dirt and germs. These, in turn, may invade the tissues and the bloom stream and start what is known as "blood poisoning." It so happens that the index, the middle and the ring fingers are somewhat shut off at the wrist joint from the rest of the arm and infection finds it more difficult to travel up the arm than it does when it starts from the thumb or little finger. Therefore, injury to the three middle fingers of a hand is not quite so menacing as injury to the outside members. Nevertheless, any injury should receive appropriate attention. Small cuts or pin pricks should be thoroughly washed with soap in warm water and then painted with iodine. It is wise to cover cuts with collodion to protect them from further contamination. (Never put a TEARING THE VEIL FROM BRITISH POLICY OF OPPRESSION IN NIGERIA (Continued from page 9) reprehensible waste; and it cannot but be angered by Sir Hugh's bolstering up of expenditure. "It is above all things else our business," he says, "to advance the native's welfare in every way." Splendid! Quite splendid! But how? By denial of the rights of commerce, and by the increase of a benevolent bureaucracy? Reader, if ever in time or eternity, returns to mankind that ideally Golden Age of which we have dreamed, it must not be because men are lazy, and indifferent, but because they are simple-living and content. It must not be because men are self-indulgent; but because they have learned gladly how to deny themselves. It must not be because competition is too strong for mankind, but because mankind has grown too reliant and confident to be harassed and worried by competition. That Golden Age (which Sir Hugh dimly adumbrates in his opening speech to the Legislative Council) must be a sign that men are too good to tolerate evil, too strong to endure tyranny, and too gentle to live under aggression. This may sound like a schism in morals. It is not so. Simply, I am seeking to prove that exteial conditions of the most onerous kind may be endured when every member of the community has learned to play the game. A lot of people today are not doing so' Change Must Come Sir Hugh's picture is wonderfully stipulating—"The Nigerian pensive occupies a position of every complete independence," but why did not Sir Hugh add that every single one of us might honorably be the same, if we would cease to take out of life more than we put into it: There, reader, is the crux of the whole position of Burucracy. The general public of Nigeria, many of them inarticulate to say what they mean, feel one conviction in their bones—that there are numerous people in the administration, in commerce, in agriculture, in all departments of public life, who are enjoying privileges and advantages that they have not satisfactorily earned. "The cost of administration and the development of the country on right lines" is admirable; but there exists a condition which Sir Hugh ought to change. Yet—to our bitter distress—he evades the issue by a flight of brilliant rhetoric, and by a sortie into realms of idealistic word painting. A change must come. And it must come because Government has itself realized its wastefulness, and not because the public has pushed it into a change of policy. "It is necessary" declares Sir Hugh "that the Government should raise a certain amount of revenue." Granted. But it is also necessary that Government should spend that revenue in an economic manner, to the direct advantage of the people whose taxation it represents, and for their development and advancement alone. If this sounds selfish it is only an elaboration of Sir Hugh's own explanation of the Briton's duty—"exercising a trust on behalf of the African population." We are now at the root of the whole trouble. This principle of "trustship" should exist quite apart from the controversy whether there will be always Rich and Poor, Great and Humble, White and Black. If—or when—Government officials retort that the laborer is worthy of his hire, the rebutter should be "That depends upon the rate of the hire, and the amount of work performed for that hire." Our editor has made his strong point over and over again—that no post in Government service should be filled by a white man that can be equally well filled by a man of color. Let us take no dental—the existing state of things in political and administrative circle is anachronistic. It is indeed endured. But it is not only endured in the sense that it is tolerated it is endured today in the very real sense that it is challenged. I have yet to meet the African who will admit that he is receiving a straight deal in social economy when brought directly into touch with European and YOUNG BLOOD How I Keep Feeling Young and Vigorous at Near Sixty "I am near 40 years, but I feel as young as I did at 30.

But we white folk continue to drag the African into the front rank, to educate him, to make him wear European clothes, and to impose upon him our own standards of living. He soon becomes one of the millions of oceans in that gigantic wheel which Sir Hugh defends — "ocean-borne trade." But henceforth the African, moreover becomes a problem. For it is not that he is inadequately paid, so much as that his white contemporary is more than adequately paid. That is the educated African's grievance today. The public ask that Government shall be a little more spontaneous. Improvements should come from headquarters with hearty goodwill, and not with stubborn reluctance!

SOUTH AFRICAN NATIVES AND THE MINES If the Coalition Came Into Power From the African Voice Briefly, Mr Stewart's resolution is a well-planned scheme for ridding the mines of our labor. The Nationalist-Labor coalition claim that if the mines were to be cleared of all "Kaffirs" that would give employment to the white worker—of course at ten times the value per individual. At the present time for to them the question of dividends or of the development of the country is of secondary importance, a narrow and short-sighted policy which no native can encourage. Now, if this resolution were passed it would automatically change our position, and perhaps it would be then that we would realize the false position in which we have been placed, as every one knows we have good and bad seasons. During a good season we have no time to leave our homes for the mines. This, therefore, brings in nicely and fits in well with the emergency schemes of General Smuts. If we are not able to come to the mines this season, he says, in the meantime your places will be filled by Portuguese East African native labor, and when you return they shall be sent home and your places will be open for you. On the other hand we have Mr. Stewart and his Socialist friends who, should we fail to work the mines, shall introduce legislation forbidding us in the mines, as "Kaffirs are lazy," and the mines will be flooded with white workers, most of whom cannot choose a pick from a shovel. We have reason to sympathize with the honorable member for East London, Mr. J. Stewart, in the position in which he is placed. Perhaps Mr. Stewart, as Mr. Stewart, may be taken for his word and it may be honestly concluded that what he does, what he has done, has been done consciously and in the best interests of our people and the country as a whole. His position, however, is a most difficult one, and how much he may avoid to dance to the time of the Socialist party, now known as the Nationalist-Labor party, some other methods will be adopted in order that he dances to the same tune with his leader, Col. Cresswell, who needs no introduction among us. Take, for instance, the resolution which Mr. Stewart attempted to move in the House last week. It is not only an insult to our intelligence but clearly indicates the trend events would take when the Coalition is in power. That is the position in a nut shell. These clever tactics should make each one of us wake up and realize that behind the sweet flowing of the tongue is a motive, and the motive of the Socialist Party, at least the Nationalist-Labor Party, is to damn the native; and perhaps the future of the country to them is but a secondary matter Mr Stewart, honest as he may be, is in bad company. In him, should he remain in the unholly Coalition, we shall have no confidence. We will take it for granted that "Birds of a feather flock together." GERMAN BACKERS OF DAWES' PLAN WIN IN ELECTION (From the N. Y. Daily News) BERLIN. May 4.—As a result of today's elections throughout Germany, the plan of experts headed by Charles G. Dawes for the payment of reparations probably will be accepted by the Rechstag. The Marx government, which favors the Dawes plan, seems to control the Rechstag by a majority of sixty-five votes. At midnight the foreign office gave out the following statement: "In the results to the present, a terrific increase of Communist votes is seen. Although an increase in Nationalist votes is observed, they are within the expected limita. The Voelkheim party—Fasciesti—have not reached the numbers expected. The parties of the Middle seem able to hold their property within the essential border." From the government's official figures, the coming Reislagst lapse is expected to be as follows: Socialists, 100; Communists, 60; Nationalists, 80; Democrata, 40; Catholics, 78; People's Party, 50; Fasciesti, 30; Lavarian People's Party, 50. The Reislagst membership is based on one for sixty thousand votes, but the membership does not necessarily indicate that a complete vote has been cast. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 10, 1924 How Certain People Would Solve the Native (From The African Volee, March 13) We wonder how many ever care, among those Gen. Hertzog coddle, to make a reflection upon his twaddies. Rarely is the leader of the Nationalist-Labor Coalition in form that when a question affecting us is tabied in the House. Recently, however, scarcely has he had that opportune occasion, and therefore the exploration of fresh grounds was made in order to draw us into questions which were not intended for us, and in which we figure as the fourth man on the wheel. At any rate so far he succeeds, and an expert in painting gloomy pictures with regard to the future of South Africa. This he does at our expense, to the horror of a terror-stricken House. This is vicious and filthy, and therefore it cannot always pass away without meeting a challenge from us, helpless as we are. Once more during the debate on the Women's Enfranchisement Bill fathered by Gen. Byron, the honorable member for Border, he indulged in high politics and rhetoric. He endeavored to obstruct the passage of the bill "because the Native Question in this country has not been solved, and because the Colored question has not been finally settled." Before the Coalition of the two parties we have always known the Nationalists Party to stand for "South Africa First," and the Labor Party for Socialism. What their policy is now, however, can be clearly detected from the leader's speech which carries along with it his conviction that the only way to solve the Native question in this country is to disfranchise the Cape Native and economically segregate him. There should be no more a colored question. The Colored man must be absorbed and the Native must form a reservoir of "scephesalis" who will be at the disposal and convenience of the farmer, at least as predestined by God. That is the policy of the new party, and that is the view it shares on the Native question. This is how they realize the responsibilities on whom, by good fortune, Divine Providence has placed. To comment is unnecessary, but it is and will be a sad day for this country when any man will dare to stand against the evolution of a people. But among our legislators are to be found men with a vision, men who are deeply sensible to their duties and the responsibilities entrusted to them. Owing to this fact the bill has been read a second time, and with the influence of Gen. Smuts behind it we have no doubt that it will finally be read a third time and then pass as an act. Since the war nations have found it necessary that the position of a woman should be otherwise defined than a chattel whose activities should only be confined to her domestic duties. In other words, it has been deemed fit, in other countries, that the time has come when a woman should make her voice heard and be a potent factor in the solution or otherwise of questions affecting her country. In this spirit is the bill coached, and claims that the time has come when the woman should have the vote. Ever since it was introduced to the House it has had our blessings. We have realized what an injustice it is to the womenfolk, and for obstructionists to demand that the women should wait until the native question has been solved is to frankly refuse them their right, for that question is a permanent one. Mr. Nicholls, the honorable member for Zululand, is afraid that it might give rise to agitation on our part for franchise in the north should this bill pass through. This statement, painful though it is, may mislead some of the members who happen to have had no opportunity of coming into closer juxtaposition with the race. On this question, native opinion is one, and that is, women must be given the right to have a direct say in the affairs of the country of their birth and domicile, and that we do not propose to make capital out of that. The introduction of new arrivals into the House or high politics will be a happy augury for the future of the country. There may be less supplication on one another; there may be less recriminations.

FOURTH ANNUAL FASHION SHOW AT LIBERTY HALL Gala Event on May 29 One of the most important entertainments given this spring at Liberty Hall will be the fourth annual Fashion Show, given by the ladies of the Royal Court of Ethiopia, with the kind cooperation of the matrona, Sabies and Juveniles of the New York local, on Thursday evening, May 29, 1924, in interest of the mortgage fund of Liberty Hall. The cast of characters in the show reads like a brilliant social register of the names of early Ethiopians. Mme. M. M. Sharperson-Young is the originator of this annual contribution to the organization, which is always near and dear to her heart. Miss Marion Wallace is a most efficient secretary, and the entire membership of the Court of Ethiopia are 100 per cent loyal to the principal. As a token of esteem and high appreciation for the always unselfish cooperation of the Universal African Royal Guard, under the command of Colonel Wattley and his staff, a part of the program of the evening will be evening, as they are in the role of the regimental colors, to the guards, with fitting military ceremonies. The Universal African Royal Engineers will come in for their share of that gala evening as they are in the role of the military escorts of Homem, under the command of Sol. S. A. Lord and staff. Many distinguished guests are already looked for on this occasion, and no pains will be spared in making this an evening long to be remembered in the history of the Ladies of the Royal Court of Ethiopia. Tickets are on sale at the office of the New York local, at the table at Liberty Hall, and can also be obtained at the door on the night of the show. Unless you forget, a committee of the Ladies of the Court, under the direction of Miss Marion Wallace, Mira Hannah Nicholas and Miss Ethel Collins, have arranged to sell poppies, the flower of the season, to help swell the treasury of the benefit. If you are not wearing the "Poppy of Flanders Field" on Decoration Day, you will show a sign of forgetfulness of the supreme sacrifice made by our boys in the World's War. 135th Street Library Notes May 7—Dr. Goldenweiler, a second lecture on "Race and Culture."

KING TUT'S TOMB DISCLOSES HELEN OF TROY AS REAL Chicago, May 4.—Helen of Troy was a real girl. That's the discovery, announced now for the first time, that has been made from recent excavations in Egypt and Asia Minor. Dr. James H. Breasted, head of the Oriental languages department of the University of Chicago, said as much. Dr. Breasted has just returned from Egypt, where he has been deciphering manuscripts found in the tomb of Tutankh-Amen. In the tomb are manuscripts that will fill out and amplify all the history of Egypt now known, he said, and will also throw a light on ancient Grecian history. For example, there have been found documents to show the serious effect Tut-ankh-Amen revolutionary belief in freedom of thought and individuality bad on the politics of his time. They supplement the vague information regarding the frantic efforts of his girl widow to save her throne by an alliance with a prince of the Hittites in Asia Minor. It is in this ancient correspondence that Dr. Breasted has discovered documents supplementing recent discoveries in Asia Minor, showing that there was a Trojan war, and that Helen, the lady for whose sake ships were sunk and battles raged, was a real woman and not a figmert of the imagination of a roving Greek minstrel.

Thunnis and M. Hymana, returned to Brussels this morning, thoroughly optimistic after a week-end conference, which is considered here to have been of vital importance in the adjustment of the allied views of the reparations problem. It is known from authoritative sources that the Belgians brought a proposal from Premier Poincare which represents one of the greatest concessions the French premier has made—a proposal to evacuate the Ruhr completely in exchange for alternative sanctions. Premier Polincare's suggestions for such sanctions is a blockade of German ports by the Allied fleets in case of any default of reparations payments. Such a blockade should go into effect automatically upon the default, and the Allies should unitedly tell Germany so. In the verbal message which the Belgians will transmit to Premier Polincare, Prime Minister MacDonald declares he wishes to give France the necessary security, under the machinery of the League of Nations. He will not allow technical details to become an obstacle. The proposals which, it now seems, Polincare and MacDonald free on are: Ruhr and Rhineland railways to be Boys' Blouses and Shirts All colors, fancy stripes and well-made. $1.00 EACH A cool blouse for summer use; size $ 10 to 18.

The 10,000 French and Belgian railway men now employed on the lines to remain. Military evacuation of the Ruhr, if the alternative sanction mentioned above can be made effective all allies participating. On the vital question of the surrender of pledges Premier Poincaré declared that France can only give up the economic administration of the Ruhr and Rhineland to an organisation formed by the experts' report and not to the German government under any circumstances. He places the date of this whenever the reparations commission officially declares the experts' scheme is in full working order.

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.

We all exercise some influence. Every man, however humble his station or feeble his power, exercises some influence on those about him for good or for evil. If this influence were all for good, how much of happiness there would soon be in the world! But, unfortunately, there are others whose constant influence is downward. There are no neutral characters who are neither good nor bad. No human being can come into this world without either increasing or diminishing the sum total of human happiness. This will be true not only of the present age, but for all time to come. There is no action of a man in this life which is not the beginning of consequences that no human providence is high enough to give us a prospect to the end. Influence is exerted in all the varied relations of life. The specific influence of husband and wife, of parent YOU CAN Learn b human mi actions.

(The Tombs.) and child, of brother and sister, of teacher and pupil, united and harmoniously blended, constitute the home influence. This influence commences with our birth, goes with us through life, clings to us in death and reaches into the eternal world. It is great, silent, irresistible, permanent. Like a deep flowing stream, it moves on in silent but overwhelming power. It strikes root deep into the human heart, and spreads its branches wide over our whole being. It holds the empire of the heart and rules the life. It is traditional. It passes down the current of life from generation to generation. It keeps up a continuous stream of home life and feeling and interest degree; and when we come to reflect on the friends and relatives and neighbors about us, think how many we meet with and speak with, and thus influence from year to year all through our lives, and then calculate the amount of influence we exert upon the world, we begin to see what an important thing human influence is. It would indeed be difficult to over estimate the influence which the lives of the great and good have exercised upon the elevation of human character. The biography of a good man is a reunion with existence in its most excellent state. It is not easy to read such without being unconsciously led and uplifted by it and growing insensibly tal to his own benefit you. Others as he is all his boon city, a burden as you would. Be not missed his wilt, or his live habitually become necessary disciple. When contrary with our ourselves in imor, at least, loss of our faults. As wife and in her most sad acter As such The influence of home begins as the little child is able to take notice of the objects around. It does not take it long to tell the mother's countenance from all the rest. It soon discovers that hers is the countenance that ever amies upon it, that hers is the form or sorrow, in weal or in woe; she is soon the first object of its thoughts. The influence she thus guills never dies. The impression she is able to produce never dies. They are indolible, and durable as life. Compared with them, other impressions are like those made upon sand or wax. These are the deep boring in the flinty rock. To erase them we must remove every strata of our being. The influence of home is important, because it is woven with the wood of childhood, and given color to the whole texture of life. Early impressions are not easily erased, the virgin wax is faithful to the signet, and subsequent impressions serve rather to indent the former ones. There are but few who can receive the honors of a college education, but all are graduates of the heart. The learning of the university may fade from recollection, its class lore may be lost upon the halls of memory, but the simple lessons of home, enamelled upon the heart of childhood, defy the rust if yours and outlive the more mature, but less vivid pictures of after days. So deep no lasting are the impressions of early life that you often see a man in the imbecility of age holding fresh in his collection the events of childhood while all the wide space between them, that and the present hour, is a forgotten waste. It is not at all necessary that we should be some public personage in order that our influence should be felt about us. A person in such a position may wield a power more apparent to others, but it is not more positive and sure than that of one of obscurity. Our looks, our words, our actions, even our silence, speak of our character. We are improving ourselves upon others. All about us, our superiors, our equals, our inferior, are receiving impressions of our character. breathing a silent but strong influence into many a soul which goes directly from our character. Action and reaction are no less equal in the moral world than in the physical one. Not only so, they produce like effects by the influence of example on those who are the subject of them. This must impress all thoughtful minds with the importance of influence and the necessity of exercising it in a right manner. Our characters are not for ourselves only, as far as their influence is concerned, they are for others also. If they make us happy they produce a similar happiness in the minds with whom we associate, differing only in ROUGH RIDER $11.65 Regular Price $35 Dead or money Infant and most or adults in N.Y.C.

The biography of a good man is a reunion with existence in its most excellent state. It is not easy to read such without being unconsciously led and uplifted by it and growing insensibly nearer to what he thought and did. And even the lives of humber persons, of men or faithful and honest spirits, who have done their duty in life well, are not without an elevating influence upon the character of those who come after them. There are men whose lives are far more eloquent than their speeches, whose personal influence is far greater than their deeds.

WRITE FOR INFORMATION OFFICE: West 135th S w York, U. S 56 West 135th Street New York, U. S. A. WEEKLY SERMON Subject: "The Principle of Preparation." Text: Psalm 51:6, "Behold, those desireth truth in the inward parts." Life—as men have been deeply, painfully conscious—life is a journey. The deeper the sense of supernatural facts, and the keener the pressure of temporal trouble, the more has this solemn simile possessed the imagination and the heart. The great Puritan of the seventeenth century drew the figures of the Pilgrim's Progress as the figures of wayfarers, from his own rough but masculine thoughts, and real and precious sorrows. A later English post dwells amidst a life of calm serenity on the philosophical aspects of the fact. The greatest of all, the genius in whose world-embracing grasp the ancient and modern world, the world of myth and music, of philosophy and physical experiment, is gathered up and comprehended, felt most keenly, and wrote most incisively, the sama. A modern traveler, climbing in the glimmering light of the morning the rugged rocks of Falterona in the Arno Valley, is struck with the accuracy of expression transferred from the experience of nature into the mystic vision of human life and destiny by the great post of the Middle Ages. It is true. The sad fortune of a sad life forced the man with mind the deepest and moral earnestness the most intense into the actual trials of a pilgrim. It is true. Precision was given to the expression of Dante's thoughts by the experiences of Alpine crests, and gorges of the Apennines, of rugged paths, and grim and giddy preclices, of the sound of headlong torrents, and the solemn moaning of the distant sea, the expression was rendered more picturesque and more precise but the fact was only illustrated by the poet, not made Life is a journey.

It is not merely that the form and face, the hand and brain, are passing from the freshness and the bloom, the vigor and the beauty, of those earlier years, those happier years." It is not merely that others have been, also! too evidently passed and left behind, and that their graves, green and quiet, though moistened with such bitter tears, are the clearest milestones on a pilgrim's path. It is not merely that the mind has passed through changing phases of thought, or the heart through fluctuating tides of feeling; but rather that immortal spirit, the being's very self, tracking long, varying ways of experience—in thought, in feeling, in strength, in act—has—(to borrow a thought of the traveler I have spoken of in his mualings on Dante's journey) has known the weariness of the climber, the momentary pause of the breathless, the extraordinary effort of the wayfarer in extraordinary difficulty, the short rest of the weary, the eager inquiry of the pilgrim who has missed the path, the keen enjoyment of the wanderer, hot and struggling, who gains a passing glimpse of out spread landscape, a fleeting breath of invigorating breezes, the sharp scrutiny of the observer who watches by day the height of the sun, by night the path of stars—it is that the self, the soul, has passed through experiences, hoarded, treasured, nay, submitted to their influence, and thus they are their away; that slowly they have had helping to color, mature, and fix the character Life is a journey, and the training of the soul by the toils and changes of its pilgrimage is, as we have seen, expressed by the law, that the char- LET'S PUT IT OVER acter undergoes a gradual preparation, and that that preparation is subject to an apparently sudden close. Alas' how often things that may be the best and brightest are checked, distorted, changed to purposes of sorrow. In the march of the mist from its home in the ocean, the heavy weighing of our smoky clouds may check its progress and leave us whole summer mornings here in New York shrouded in depressing fog, or it may rise to the higher atmosphere to add fresh beauty to the sunlight on a dreamy, hazy day. So the advance of the soul it may be wrong. There is a constant possibility that we are not growing better, but growing worse; it may be right; and if it is, that is another way of saying we are going forth to meet the bridegroom. Now the Psalmist in the text indi- cates the fundamental principle submission to which we are guided to a right use of the law of prepa- ration. The 51st Psalm is the result of an agonizing mental struggle, whose deep throes of life-giving anguish are rendered clear by the light of an inspiring mind. So deep does it penetrate to the springs of human nature, that it has for centuries, since it first was written, expressed, more exactly than any other formula of religious thought, the trouble of a soul awakening up to the dreadfulness and darkness of sin to its unsatisfying gifts and its fatal allurements; but awakening in the tender light of a deep and loving penitence The 51st Psalm, therefore, is a storehouse of principles, for principles are the fundamental truths, which express necessary conditions of the life of every living soul, and of its relationship to the source of its being, and no truths relating to man's life are so deep and so serious as those which are brought to light when he is aroused to the real fact of holiness and goodness, and the infinity of misfortune involved in any outrage done to them. And so each principle in the Psalm is a ray of supernatural illumination. What a dispelling of darkness is here. Here is a witness that the one ground of sorrow is to have offended God. Alas' how is it that we dread pain of body, dread injury to our good name, dread sudden change of circumstances and do not dread sin? Acknowledging, for the most part a hideous power, we do not revolt from it. What is the meaning of it all? Surely, a witness to a mysterious and miserable darkness, spreading over our mental and moral vision. But when the darkness goes by the light of the Sun of Righteousness!—O the clearness of the heavens! O, the shining of the stars! This Psalm is the record of the passing of the darkness, though in showers of sorrow. It is like the outburst of a sheen of sunlight, from a sky-country of burning noonday, on a world long gripped before in the fangs of fierce and hungry fost. And for this reason (to dwell one moment further on this splendid prayer, or splendid poem), for this reason, it is intensely drenched in the interior, the personal spirit; it is all God and the soul. For indeed it is a note of true religion, that stands ever marked in Christianity, that it makes much of the individual. The ancient world, as you know, dreamt about, or acted on, a morality based upon an idea of the paramount importance of the State. True religion has recalled man to himself, has taught him to "possess his soul." Why is this? Why, because it points persistently to a future account, not of all merely, but of each. Hints of this are found in the earlier revelation; hints as contrasted with the clear statements of the gospel, and the powerful evidence of the resurrection of Christ; hints which helped the wayfarers of the earlier Israel to bear life onward weekly, under the burden of those apparent injustices, which could not be accounted for, or adequately justified to human conscience, without a belief in a future. Of all these, the text is a remarkable example; and it brings two points of truth out into distinct relief: first, the minuteness of the divine scrutiny, and next, the searching thoroughness required in preparation. This last point recalls us to the next step in our inquiry. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 10, 1924 SIR ROBERT LINCOLN POSTON By ETHEL TREW DUNLAP His sleepa, the African son we love.

The Versatile Porter (Lincoln News Service) Several smokers looked up with surprise when they heard the porter conversing in a foreign tongue with a gentleman who seemed to be on terms of close friendship with the railroad man, and when he had gone forward to answer a ring from number eight an inquisitive gent, with the emblem of a Greek letter fraternity in his coat lapel, turned to the porter's friend and said: "I see that your porter friend is a foreigner? Where is he from?" "Oh, no; he's a real American," was the dry response. "Well, may I inquire what language you and he were converging in?" continued the curious one. "Portuguese," was the curt reply. "Pardon me," continued the Greek letter man, "and I hope you will not think that I mean to be impolite, but it merely seemed to me that the language sounded a bit strange. French, German, or even Italian would have seemed to be in more common use among real Americans." "Well," responded the porter's friend, "Jim speaks those languages also; but we chose Portuguese just then because of the confidential nature of our conversation, knowing that we were more likely to encounter travelers who understood French or German, than we were to find those who could understand Portuguese. Even so," he added with a laugh, "you may not have any doubts that English is still our preference." The Greek letter man resumed his cigar, but it was very apparent that his curiosity was far from satisfied. He fingered his watch fob for a while, and then, after the porter had come back and spoken a hasty sentence or two, this time in German, turned and asked. "Where's the porter from? I never knew but one colored man who could speak German as fluently as that; and he was a college baseball player against whom our team refused to take the field when we came North about six years ago. His team, and especially the captain, stood by him, and the game was called off; but not until he had said some pretty hard things to our coach, who was from Germany. In his own language. And even though I was pretty sure myself at the idea of a colored man playing on a university baseball team, which had booked playing dates with the best colleges in the south, I could not help from admiring his versatility of speech. "Well," replied the generous conversationalist, "this is the same colored man whom you met on the baseball field." "I see," replied the Greek letter man. "And that goes to show the foolishness of it all, for with all his many languages, which he doesn't really need, he's still only a railroad porter; and, in fact, is much more useful in that capacity than he would be in any other." "No, you're quite mistaken," responded the porter's friend, with a sarcastic smile. "Jim's an interpreter at the Port of New York, at an excellent salary, and he was given special permission to make this trip, as a porter, to assist me in writing a feature story which the Pullman Company is going to publish in its advertising pamphlets. To make everything realistically true, each of us is filling the rôle of an actual character, and we're taking close observations of all the passengers whom we are meeting on this trip. Watch the papers and you may see something about yourself." "But, who are you?" gasped the Greek letter man in astonishment. "I'm advertising specialist for the Pullman Company—and, by the way," he added, with a revengeful smile. "I'm the former captain of that same baseball team which you refused to play against six years ago." And I quickly raised my newspaper before my face to keep the Greek letter man from seeing me laugh. An Inside Story of The Fundamentalists Alice has taken a trip to "Literal-Land," the source of the Fundamentalsists' creedal complex. The Rev. John F. Scott, of Providence, thinks that "the war in the churches' can better be stilled or assuaged by a little humor than by much pounding and roaring," and in his delightful essay in the May Century, "Alice in Literal-Land," he instills a little humor into the battle. He tells us that as Alice listened to the sermon Sunday morning the minister flow right out of the pulpit and took her for a ride on his back to Literal-Land, where they were invited to a theological tea, witnessed a heresy trial, and visited the Cave of Controversy. Dr. Scott writes. "Hardly had the doors closed behind Alice and the minister in the Cave of Controversy, when Alice was seized violently by two wild-eyed men, one on each side, pulling her in opposite directions. She was so startled that she couldn't say a word, and, besides, she didn't have a chance. "This way to salvation!" shouted the one on her left. "Nice, quiet, and comfortable: all your thinking done for you by experts; no effort required." "Come with me!" cried the other, pulling at her right arm. Til show you how to blaze a trail of your own. Don't listen to that other chap; he's all wrong. I can prove it." "You're a cubkool! shouted the first one, growing apoplectic. "You're a coward!' the other retorted. "You're a traitor!' "You're a liar.' "Alice, very much confused, looked up and saw the grinning head of the Cheshire cat. "Remember what I told you in the wood on the way to the Marsh Harvaf' cried the cat, 'Well, it's the same horn.' "Oh, ye,' said Alice, after a moment's thought, I remember. We're all mad here!"

DIVISIONS SOLA, CAM., CUBA Never in the history of the Universal Sigma Improvement Association has the Sola division played such an important part as in the magnificent "Silver Tree Service" which took place on Sunday evening, April 28. The program rendered on this occasion was considered the best of its kind in the history of the Sola division. The above function was held for the purpose of aiding us in the building of a Liberty Hall, and the Sola division can heartily boast of the 100 per cent Sarverites that loyalty contributed to the program. The procession started precisely at 5 p. m., headed east, turned north and back west to Liberty Hall. The hall was packed to its utmost capacity, which caused many to turn away with concern. --- Among the most inspiring speakers were: Mr. Roper, treasurer of Nuveitas division; H. Angua, executive secretary of the Camaguey division, and Mr. James, secretary of the Cespedes division. The service began by singing hymns Nos. 83 and 76 from the association's ritual, and the repeating of the Lord's Prayer. The thirty-first Psalm was read, followed by the twelfth chapter of Saint Luke's gospel, verse one to ten. The president of the division then escaped the chair. In making his introductory address he carefully emphasized to the members the cause for which they were gathered, and exported them for a stronger and more loyal support to this grand and noble cause. The speaker seemed to have been very enthusiastic and deeply interested in the propaganda and future development of the association, and highly commended our president-general, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, for his fortitude and determination to bring together 409,000,000 Negroes of the earth. We cannot too highly commend Mr. James, the executive secretary of the Caspede division, for the eloquent manner in which he delivered his address, thereby inspiring the audience and holding them entirely spellbound during his discourse. It was then announced that a fifteen-minute intermission would be given, after which we would reassemble for mass meeting, but the crowd manifested such great enthusiasm that we were not permitted to do so. It was then that we saw where Negroes had given the lie to those who always make use of this destructive phrase, "Negroes will never come together," and for this reason we, the officers and members of the Sola division, wish to tender our thanks through the medium of the columns of the Negro World to the refugees and well wishers of this community for their splendid spirit manifested on this occasion. And we sincerely hope that the time will not be far off when all Negroes will come together and weld themselves in one sound and massive body and help to support our great leaders in our onward and upward march for the complete emancipation of this downrise race and the redemption of our Motherland, Africa. IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL DIVISIONS and CHAPTERS OF THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION, ESSPECIALLY THOSE LOCATED IN THE REPUBLIC OF PANAMA: This is to officially inform you that the Parent Body of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League has revoked the charter of the Colon Division No. 18. S. A. Brooks, and his associates, notably C. A. Reid, John Pilgrim, and Maude Detty, to cease operating in the name of the Association. We beg to advise the public not to have anything to do with these people if they approach you posing as representatives of the U. P. PARENT BODY. 58 West 182d Street, New York City. April 4, 1984. FLORIDA, CUBA Sunday, the 20th of April, 1924, was a gala day for the Negroes in Florida. All gala turned to the liberty hall on Easter Sunday to join in the splendid program which had been prepared. The charter which was to be unveiled had been received. The procession was arranged to begin from the second street above the liberty hall, the hand of the Salvation Army and it's captain leading in front, playing the hymn "Onward Christian Soldier." The two photographs of Hon. Marcuss Garvey were carried under cover by the president and lady president of the division. The flag of Cuba and that of Ethiopia were carried by Brothers McCook and Mitchell. Then came the charter carried by Brother Vanderpool and Sister Malcolm, lady vice-president, then Mr. Septy Sinclair with a banner Behind these came the uniformed ranks. On entering the hall, the Ethiopian antham was played. Mr. Stewart, the LET'S PUT IT OVER president from the Ciego de Avila Division, was introduced after the opening ode was sung and prayer offered. He was chairman for the evening. The chaplain took his lesson from the "Book of Joshua." Then came the unveiling of the charter. The lady president and lady vice-president held up the charter when a verse of the hymn "Oh, Africa Awaken," was sung. Little Miss Luna Gordon and Winifred Reid who stood on the right and left of the charter, respectively, recited each a verse, and while the third verse of the Ethiopian anthem was sung the little ladies slowly lifted the veil from the charter. The Rev. Ewart was asked to read what was written on the charter to the congregation. The anthem was again sung. the vells were lifted from the Hon. Marcus Garvey's photo from the president and lady president. This closed the program for the afternoon. LOS ANGELES, CAL Movements may come, and movements may go, but the U N. I. A., which was founded by the Hon Marc Garvey, shall live forever. Any person doubting this declaration, need only pay a visit to our liberty hall, at the corner of Central avenue and Adauns street. During the month of March we made many converts to the cause of Garveyism. Surely the oak, which is called Garveyism, has taken root in this city and will ultimately bring forth one hundred fold. The usual mass meeting of the U N I. A. of the Los Angeles Division, Nov. 186 on Sunday, April 6, 1924, was called to order by our Chaplain, the Rev R. A. Garrison. The opening ode was sung with the prayer of the organization following Our president, the Hon. J. J. Stafford, delivered the opening address for the occasion He flayed our critics and doubling Thomases in this city. In short, he said: "It was easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than any man to stop the onward rush of Garveyism." There was a short program, arranged by Mr. Jim Megann, as follows: 1. The singing of the national anthem of America, also the Universal Ethiopian anthem of the U N I. A. 2. Song by the choir. 3. Brief remarks delivered by Mr. M. Sullivan. 4. The reading of the "Aims and Objects of the Association" by Mr. G. W. Nixon. 5. Song by choir. The reading of the front page of the Negro World, by Mr Tom Hall 7. Remarks by Mr. J. W. Coleman. 8. The closing of program, also the presentation of the speaker of the evening in the person of Dr Venable. Dr. Venable proved himself a brilliant speaker and carried the audience THE NEGRO WORLD.

The meeting was opened in the usual way, with the singing of the opening ode. "From Greenland's Icy Mountains," followed by prayer. The chaplain took for the evening lesson the forty-ninth chapter of Geneais, which he handled in his usual able manner. After the spiritual part of the ceremony was concluded, the president, F. B. Van Roman, in his opening address, congratulated the officers and members on the prompt way in which they had obeyed the order to turn out in full mourning on the occasion of the memorial services held for the fallen Secretary-General. The president entrusted the officers and members to be loyal to the colors of red, black and green. The second speaker was Miss Grace A. Gala, who delivered a splendid address to the ladies of the division, which was received with prolonged applause. The third speaker was Sigismund Brown, who appealed to the parents and guardians of the children to do a little more reading, in order to teach our children the benefits to be derived from unity, and also the past glories of this noble race. Several other dresses of an inspiring nature were delivered and the meeting brought to a close with the singing of the anthem. MANCHESTER. ENGLAND On April 8 there was special gathering of members and friends at Liberty hall. Pritchard street, to receive and listen to the Hon Dr Tobitt, who arrived here at 4:30 p.m. The president of the division. C Humphreys, in presenting the Hon. Tobitt, said in part that he was proud to be able to present to the members of the Manchester division such an able representative of our race, who had come to England on a special mission. Sir Richard, on being presented, complimented the members on the spirit which was urging them to combine and become a powerful factor in the affairs of the world. His speech was sane, tactful and eloquent and held the audience spellbound. At the night meeting, before a large gathering at the Onward Hall, Deansgate. Sir Richard made his second appearance. He was received by loud and prolonged applause from the mixed audience, for the word had gone round that a high representative of the U N I A. would speak that evening and many whites attended. Sir Richard surpassed himself in his second address and delivered one of the most. If not the most, powerful address yet heard at this hall. He delved into history and took us back to the days of the ancient Egyptians, and gave us a glimpse of our former greatness. The meeting will live long in the memory of the Negroes of Manchester. This meeting was brought to a close with the singing of the anthem. On Thursday, April 10, the meeting opened in the usual way, with the president occupying the chair, followed by the re-election of officers and the enrollment of members. J H. Hart, as first vice-president, and Edmund Clement Austin, secretary. The first speaker was Mr Hart, who spoke with every confidence on the new spirit and courage with which we have again started to make Manchester division a success. He also impressed on the members the welcome words of Dr. R. H. Tobbit: "Bear no ill-feeling, forget the past, get together and work for the success of the division." The president then spoke, and in his courageous way said that he felt happy within himself that he was once more able to be among the old brothers of the division; he also expressed that determination—for which all credit is due to him—to prove to one and all his wholeheartedness for the welfare of the division, and, most of all, to prove—as long as breath remains in his body—that he, as president, will carry on and on until he has achieved his one aim, "a standing division." He then appealed to the members to prove their loyalty. On Sunday, April 12, the meeting opened as usual, the president occupying the chair. The secretary, Mr. Austin, made a few announcements, after which the chairman called upon Mr. Hart, who spoke on the great and strenuous efforts made by the president, G. Humphrey, in building up the division. He also urged the members to pay more attention to the women of our race, reminding them that the hand that roses the creature rules the world.

The enthusiasm of the members is as strong as ever. On April 14, at the Triumph Church, the Hon. W. A. Wallace spoke to a large gathering and delivered an eloquent address. He dealt chiefly with the work of the delegation over in Africa, and urged upon his audience the necessity of putting over the program. There were several other speakers on the program, who spoke out of the fullness of their hearts on this important subject. A few songs added to the program contributed wonderfully towards making the evening a pleasant one HAVANA. CUBA The Havana division of the U N. I. A. held a very enthusiastic meeting on Sunday, April 20, which was well attended by the members and friends. We had an election of officers, which resulted as follows. F Walton, president. Mrs. S. Mitchell, lady president; E. S. Myres, secretary; J. Prott, treasurer. We hope that with the co-operation of the members we shall be able to build up the Havana division and work with the other divisions in this republic. ST. ROSE. LOUISIANA The people of Saint Rose division are exhibiting much interest in the work of the U N I A. A fine Easter meeting was held at the Mount Zion Baptist Church. The meeting was conducted by the president, and we had a rousing address from Charles W Jackson, executive secretary of the New Orleans division. We trust that we shall have the pleasure of again having with us for a longer period this eloquent speaker. The meeting was bought to a close with the singing of the anthem LADY DAVIS VISITS MONTCLAIR DIVISION The Montclair Division has just closed a series of meetings, which lasted four days, beginning April 20 and closing April 24. Each night the meetings were opened by the singing of the regular opening ode, "From Greenland's Icy Mountains," after which there was a selection by the choir, prayer by the chaplain and a few remarks by the president, Mr. Wm Duncan. The principal speakers were Lady Hortense Vinton Davis, fourth assistant president-general of the U N I A and her secretary, Mr A Bryant Dr W V Cholmoncyll, Ph D, was also present and spoke to the division. The audience was very much interested in the addresses delivered by the speakers. The curiosities shown by Lady Davis attracted much attention. Montclair was also favored with a very agreeable surprise to have Mrs. Amy Jacqueline Garvey in the town. We regret very much that on account of her health she could not attend our meetings, but we are extremely glad that her health has improved. This alone brings much joy to us and we hope she may be soon restored to her good health. Mrs Garvey is staying at the home of Mr. and Mrs. L.

Education has been and still is the most powerful factor in changing the attitude of a race. The Negro needs to be educated. Not educated in the knowledge that he is receiving, or has received, but the kind of education that will teach him his duty towards himself and his race. An education that will remind him of his past as the Jew at Good Friday has the Passover as a reminder of his deliverance from Egyptian bondage, and which he always keeps in mind and works to prevent a recurrence of that horror. Do must the Negro be reminded of his history, that he may strive to prevent a recurrence of the horrors of slavery Nationhood, like the Jew, is the Negro's salvation, and he must turn his thoughts towards it if he expects to adjust himself in a sick world. No better use of our churches can be made than to educate our people in its history. They would be doing greater work by showing the race the glories of a people who have suffered and who, if they expect to rise, must strive to fulfill the efforts of those who fought and died that the rest may live. Surely the teaching of Negro history is easier than grappling with the mysteries of Biblical history, which even the interpreters themselves failed even to understand correctly. The proof we have is in the diversity of opinions on every phrase of their interpretations. Every race perpetuates the history of its past, because it is its duty to inform its future generations of the suffering their forefathers had undergone in order that those living may enjoy the things they now have. America commemorates the 4th of July as a reminder of the overthrow of British tyranny, France, Bastille Day, to commemorate the end of the Louis' tyranny. It inspires their "children" to "go on" So much the Negro youth be inspired, lest its condition become worse than its forefathers' This must never be. Give our youth the history of their race, so they can help to lift the black man from the world's infirmary of invalids to civilization's plumage. J E HUNTER. 151st Street New York.

SECCION EN ESPAÑOL por La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra 54-56 Oeste, Calle 135, Cludad de Nueva York, N. Y. PROF. M. A. FIQUEROA. Editor Donativo del honorable Isaiah Emanuel Morter a la asociación universal para el adelanto de la raza negra en pro de la redención de Africa—El verdadero hijo de Etiopia presta su ayuda al mas grande de todos los movimientos de nuestra raza—Nuestro elemento honrará la memoria del gran benefactor—Lealtad de los miembros de la organización El honorable Isaiah Emanuel Morter, Caballero Comandante de la Distinguida Orden de Etiopia, otro Príncipe de Africa, ha fallecido. El, para nosotros como raza, ha muerto físicamente, pero espiritualmente, aun vive entre nosotros. No todos los seres que vienen a este mundo viven eternamente; la ausencia de los millones que pasan por este planeta es generalmente muy poco observada, debido a la ineptitud de sus hechos en beneficio de la humanidad, de la nación ó de su raza; solamente pensaron en su beneficio individual. No ha acontecido así en el caso del honorable Isalah Emanuel Morter de la ciudad de Belice, Hondura Británica, America Central. En él tenemos un gran ejemplo; hijo de padres pobres, creció luchando en contra de las oposiciones y de las dificultades que generalmente rodean a todo aquel que nace en tales circunstancias, hasta elevarse el mismo al punto mas alto en el servicio de su raza y de su pals. En su edad madura, luego de haber acumulado con el sudor honrado de su frente alguna riqueza, se identificó con movimientos en pro del adelanto de su raza, entre los cuales figuraba el nuestro, del cual fué siempre un gran soporte. El, completamente distinto a la mayoría de nuestro elemento que acumula riqueza, nunca persiguié relación social con ninguna otra raza, sino que siempre estuvo satisfecho de confinar el éxito a su raza y dar a ella el crédito por todo cuanto el realizara. La mayoría de nuestro elemento en esta parte del globo que acumula alguna riqueza, busca disipación ya ligando sus vinculos con la raza blanca, ya persiguiendo su sociabilidad, cuyo resultado es generalmente la deprivación de su riqueza antes de ser aceptados como iguales en su fraternidad. El honorable Isaiah Emanuel Morter fue sincero para con su raza y ha estampado su nombre en las páginas de la historia como aquélla clase de nuestro elemento que venera su descendencia y su relación con los demas miembros de la misma en el universo entero. Poco tiempo ha el honorable Morter vino a esta ciudad con el objeto de recuperar su salud, siendo nuestro huesped durante su permanencia en esta. En ese periodo de tiempo fué cuando nuestra organización se vió mas acosada que nunca por sus enemigos, en el célebre proceso judicial en contra nuestra Las injusticias cometidas con nuestra organización y la intención de sus enemigos fué tan marcada, que el Honorable Morter, como todos aquellos siguieron el proceso al pie de la letra, se dio cuenta de que se habia establecido una lucha, no en contra de un individuo sino en contra de una raza, y con tal motivo se vió mas impresionado con la labor y utilidad de nuestra organización. Apesar de haber experimentado una gran restabilidad durante su permanencia en esta, salud fue decayendo de nuevo despues de su regreso a Bellice, su pueblo natal, y al cabo de varios meses la parca aterradora le envolvió en sus alas. El honorable Isaiah Emanuel Morter ha muerto, sí, pero su memoria, como la de otros ilustres fenecidos, viviría eternamente en el corazón de todos y cada uno de los miembros de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra. Antes de su muerte demostró siempre gran interes en los principios de esta organización y como prueba de su identificación con el movimiento y su deseo en cooperar a él, se convirtió en el primer gran benefactor de la causa de la redención de Africa. En su testamento dona a nuestra organización las dos terceras partes de su riqueza total, lo cual media entre cincuenta y cien mil pesos, en pro de la emancipación incondicional de la madre patria. Este es el primer gran donativo conferido a nuestra organización, y ello demuestra evidentemente el sentimiento de lealtad del elemento que patrocina este movimiento. Siguiendo nuestro elemento en las antillas y en el continente americano el ejemplo del Honorable Isaiah Emanuel Morter, en muy pocos años veríamos no solamente a Africa redimida sino a la raza en general elevada a la posición que demanda el reconocimiento universal. Antiguamente nuestro elemento pudiente moría y sus amigos blancos o sus instituciones disponían de fortuna; en muchos casos ellos no hacían testamento y su riqueza pasaba por consiguiente a engrosar las arcas del tesoro del estado. Millones de millones pertenecientes a nuestra raza han sido perdidos de ese modo, debido a la poca lealtad de gran parte de nuestro elemento pudiente, quienes prefirieron dar sus fortunas a miembros de otras razas, antes de donarlas a instituciones 6 movimientos de la suya, los cuales laboran por el progreso de su propio pueblo. El honorable Isaiah Emanuel Morter, hemos de repetir, ha dejado por sentado un ejemplo práctico; el Africa redimida nunca ha de olvidarle y la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra grabará su nombre en las páginas de su historia, en prueba de reconocimiento. Honremos la memoria de tan noble alma y oremos con gran fervor por su descanso eterno. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 10, 1824 El representante Fairfield de Indiana ha presentado un contraproyecto a la camara en el cual pide se conceda a las Filipinas la autonomía pero no la independencia, en oposición al proyecto del representante de Wisconsin, Cooper, sobre el cuálva a informar un subcomité del comité de asuntos insulares del cuerpo. Fairfield propone para las Filipinas un gobierno analogo al de las colonias o dependencias británicas, en que si son casi independientes en su régimen interior, el rey británico, que en este caso seria el presidente de los Estados Unidos, puede suspender todos los actos ejecutivos o legislativos de la colonia. Este sistema viene a resolverse en definitiva para el soberano en algo más que un protectorado, pues que bajo el pueblo protegido tiene incolune su derecho a la independencia, mientras que bajo el sistema británico continua parte del territorio del soberano y de el no puede desprenderse sino por medio de una rebelión triunfante. Los filipinos tendrian derecho a elegir su propio gobernador, pero los poderes ejecutivo y legislativo quedarian bajo el control de un comisionado residente nombrado por el presidente de los Estados Unidos para que lo represente y le de cuenta. Todos los cuidadanos filipinos deben jurar adhesión a los Estados Unidos y todo miembro de la comunidad jurará, de entre entrar en ejercicio de cualquier cargo, que reconoce y acepta la autoridad suprema de los Estados Unidos y defendera su constitución así como la de la comunidad. En el proyecto de Fairfield se provee por la libertad religiosa absoluta, que toda propiedad de la iglesia quedaría exenta de impuestos, que las relaciones comerciales se regiran exclusivamente por la ley de los Estados Unidos, que la comunidad no podrá contraer empréstitos sin la aprobación del presidente de los Estados Unidos y que la constitución que se de a la comunidad tiene que ser aprobada por el presidente y por el congreso de los Estados Unidos. Como el congreso de los Estados Unidos, se comprometió solemnamente, de acuerdo con los tratados celebrados sobre Filipinas, a decreter la independencia de las Filipinas una vez que el pueblo filipino estuviera apta para ello, a lo cual cooperaria, el proyectista cubre la materia propioniendo que al cabo de treinta años los filipinos pueden pedir un plebiscito para decidir si quieren continuar con esa forma de gobierno o se deciden por la independencia. En una de las numeros asambleas reunida en Manila, se protesto solemnemente contra las versiones contidades en el cablegrama Wood sobre la situación de las Filipinas con el único objeto de impedir que se garantice la independencia al pueblo filipino y cuyos términos constituyen una ofensa al buen nombre, carácter y dignidad del pueblo filipino. Controversia de fronteras El presidente de Haiti has designado los delegados que van a negociar el protocolo de limites con los delegados de la república Dominicana para someter la vieja cuestion fronteriza entre los dos paises al arbitrase del papa y son Camilo León, ministro del exterior y Félix Magliori, exministro del exterior. Los delegados dominicanos llegaran a la capital haitiana dentro de poco para comenzar las negociaciones. Haiti acepto en principio la propósición de la república Dominicana sobre el arbitrato escogido y esta nombre delegados a su minister del exterior, señor Angel Morales, y el señor Garcia Mella, los cuales dirigirán a Puerto Principe a emprender su tarea tan pronto como se havan hecho los preparativos. En el protocolo se estableceran con gran precisión los poderes que se confieren al arbitro. Hace años que el papa no quiso aceptar igual monarriamiento debido a que se le mouserion muchas restricciones. desees que transcurriar algunos ces antes de que se hayan conciido la negociaciones del protocolo. El hecho de que las negociaciones hayan sido emprendidas por el gobierno provisional de la republica dominicana no impediría que se consuma el arreglo arbitral con ait ni afectarkt al valides y crese que cuando se encargue el nuevo gobierno de la primera republica, que será casa de ses meses, aceptara cualque arreglo que se haya llegado en la dos gobierno. 4 controversia limitrofe entre n los pales data de más de medio y se hizo una tentativa para mover un tratado que solucionara la cuestión. La cuestión se sometió luego al arbitraje del papa en 1895, pero este pidó mayoras poderes que los encuestados y como se le negaron desistiu de ser el arbitro. En 1911 ambas republicas pidieron los buenas oficies de los Estados Unidad y enviaron aqui sus delega- dos a discutir el problema con los funcionarios de este gobierno, paro como no pudieron entender se regresaron. a sus respectivas pales, continuando sus gestiones aql los respectivos ministros de entonces. Dr. Francisco J. Peinado, por la república Dominicana, candidato ultimamente a la presidencia de su país y el extinto Solón Menos por Haiti. La linea limítrofe fuíjada primaero por el tratado de Aranjuez entre España y Francia en 1777, estando la isla en posición de ambos pales, tratado que fuí reconocido por ambas repúblicas en 1874; pero suscitante diferencias respecto del trazado de la frontera; no pudiendo extenderese sobre la expresión posiones actuales, por la que entendían los haitianos el territorio verdaderamente ocupado de hecho por los dos gobiernos, mientras que los dominicanos alegaban que debía tomarse también en cuenta la cuestión legal de la propriedad real de la tierra. En algunos puntos se trazó la linea, en otros no y cuando los Estados Unidos ocuparon a esas dos repúblicas hicieron un trazado temporal para los efectos de la recolectión de derechos 6 impuestos aduaneros pero no con carácter de limitación de froneras. Valor Nipón La extracción del submarino japonés 43 que se habia hundido en la bahita de Sasede y el encunetro en la cama interior del submarino de las cuarenta y cinco victimas de tan triste suceso, ha demostrado una vez más el patriotismo de los japones que esperando la muerte de un momento a otro no piensan en si mismos y dedican sus ultimos esfuerzos a alabar y honrar a su emperador y rogar por sus familiares. Cortos mensajes que se hallaron escritos en la paresdes, en el suelo y en pedazos de papel, demuestran la valentia con que los marineros del submarino esperaban la muerte, tratando hasta el último momento de salvar la nave. Uno de los mensajes deicia: El agua nos has llegado a los pies, emperador; no me discoplo; pero aun después de la muerte protegeremos nuestro palis. Otro de los mensajes lela: Tratando de evitar la entrada del agua, pero es imposible. Todos haciendo lo más que pueden en el cumplimiento de su deber. Nuestros marinos son bravos, estoy satisfecho. La respiración se hace difficil. Viva el emperador1 Nada puede haber más glorioso que perecer con nuestra nave. Veviremos nuevas en futuras generaciones y dedicaremos nuestra vida a la zacca en nuestro emperador y esperamos que su majestad se mueveré benevolo con oficiales lo mismos que con subalternos. Compaflies de colegio y camaradas, por favor, cuidad de nuestras queridas familias. Estamos ansiosos por saber la suerte de nuestro comandante Kuwajima. La respiración se hace difficil. Mientras se hallaban a vientisita brazas bajo el mar, oliciales y ni marineros del submarino esperaban el ultimo momento demonstrando su patriotismo y su amor al emperador. Los cadáveres de las victimas de la catastrofe fueron cremados y a los funerales celebrados asistió un gentio enorme, estando presente en los servicios funerales el almirante de la escuadrade. Manifestaciones de Protesta en Tokio La manifestación popular de Tokio proyecto tres días de protesta en todo el territorio nacional contra la medida de la exclusión japonesa. Los oradores acusaron al gobierno de diplomacia débil en sus protestas ante los Estados Unidos. Más de mil graduados japoneses de veintiium colegios nortamericanos enviaron protestas al secretario Hughes y sus consejeros. Evidentemente que los nacionalistas japoneses están detrás de las manifestaciones populares diarias. Representa un grupo distinto y cuenta entre sus filas miembros del ejército y antiguos estadistas. Proponemos aumentar nuestra inmigración, dicen los dirigentes, a Sud América y Méjico, penetrando asi pacificamente al territorio sobre el que se ha aplicado hasta aqula la doctrina Monroe. No aceptamos la doctrina Monroe y declaramos que podriamos haber actuado en el continente americano, así como los causacios, si los japoneses hubieran despertado más temprano como miembros de la familia de las razones. Temblores en el Hawaii En la población filipina y japonesa del distrito Punta, y a seguidas de fuertes temblores que ableron grietas de diez pies de profundidad en los caminos cerca de Kapone, se produjo un gran panic al pumo que tumeron huyendo desapovidordes de la localidad. Los alambres, telefónicos cayeron a tierra y se suspendió el servicio de trenes. Las ultimas noticias dicen que en el distrito, de Punta se contaba con una ola de favas. Luego de las actividades en relación con la exclusión japonesa, habriase supuesto que el Senado habia hecho bastante en una sesión para destruir la confianza pública en su sentatez. Pero nada de eso. En la cuestión del bonel en Senado ha insistido en ser no solamente insentado sino al mismo tiempo insincerno. Asi ha suplementado la ley de exclusión de los japonéses, que es peligrosa e innecasaria, con un llamado bono que es un desinflarro. El plan de seguros que han aprobado el senado y la camara no sirve para nada de lo que el bono se supone que sirva. No concede a los teteranos ninguna "compensación proporciónada" para vencer los perjuicios económicos sufridos a causa del servicio en las fuerzas militares. Los de una poliza de seguro sobre la vida, sobre la cual, comentando por el tercer año a partir del actual, pueden obtener en préstamo cantidades insignificantes de dinero. Asi siete años después de la guerra se halla, bajo la ley llamada del bono, en la capacidad de enduadarse por una uma insignificante, que aumenta con la antiguidad de la poliza. El congreso que voto para el veterano esta piedra de oro, sabia que era simplemente eso. Sus directores llegaron a un convenio con los embajadores de la American Legion para burlar a los veteranos a expenses del contribuyente, por dos razones; para ganar votos para los congressistas y para fortalecer la maquinaria de la American Legion. Los directores del congreso y de la American Legion, ante el vet presidential, prepararon este plan con el simple propósito de presentarse como amigos de los soldados. Los directores de la American Legion insistieron en obtener algo, llamado bono, que pudiera usarse como prueba de eran capaces de obtener resultados del congreso. Y el congreso, al darles algo que asciende a nada procede con el mismo elevado motivo Asl, el senado para asegurarse de que este juego no se detrueta mientras hay votos y empleos que conseiguir, el Senado en su sabiduria aumentó una enmienda que mantiene el problema del bono vivo para la campaña y hara que continué en el próximo Congreso. En esta forma los congresos partidarios del LET'S PUT IT OVER bono y la American Legion han atendido a si mismos. Han puesto las cosas en forma que el bono puede ser continuado, como las pensiones de la guerra civil, como una cuestión permanente en la política de los Estados Unidos. En el bono, como en la exclusion japonese, la locura y la insinceridad estan equitativamente distribuidas entre los dos partidos. De hecho tal es la intención deliberada, porque hace más seguro el voto individual. De todos los que votaron en ambas cuestiones, sólo un puifado tenia la convicción de que era la cosa debida la que hacían. El resto tenia la convicción de que era una cosa peligrosa que no debia hacerse. Votaron por la afirmativa porque tenian miedo de votar en contra, y la mayoria de ellos muy contra sus deseos. Lo más proximo a la venidad declarada, una acitud semejante del congreso es lo calculado para crear el desprecio del público. Ciertamente que no se adora al congreso. Ciertamente no se le admira. Rápidamente va de dejando de ser respeptado. Tampoco es ninguno de los grandes partidos tenido en gran afecto, admiración o respeto. ¿Cómo podia ser de otra manera? ¿Ha la política, tal como se ha exhibido, practicado recientemente en Washington, offreciado al ciudadano ninguna noción de vida pública en la que personas con una colarante convicción y procediendo bajo directores de imaginación y valor pongan, digamos, el cincuenta por cloento del tiempo, los intereses de la nación sobre los suyos personales? Panamá y Estados Unidos Los funcionarios del gobierno de Panama y los de los Estados Unidos estan reticulos respecto al estado de las negociaciones que han ido en progreso en los últimos dos meses entre las comisiones especiales de ambos gobiernos sobre la nueva convención que substituirá al daminamiento acuerdo Taft. Las negociaciones han progresado la más rápida posible. Expressas dada de que el tratado simplemente del tratado original del casal se liato ya para la firma, para el primer de mayo, fecha fijada por esta gobierno al annuncio a Panama si expresión del acuerdo Taft tiene varios meses. Se declaró que en el hecho sería virtualmente imposible llegar a un acuerdo sobre todos los términos de la nueva convención. Además, hizo notas, la convención debe que ratificada nos los congresos de ani- bos gobernza y tener lugar el cambio de ratificación, a menos que se dictara una especial provision para poner en vigencia el tratado immediatamente después de firmado por los plenipotenciarios de ambos países, lo cual sería contrario a todo precedente y no en capasco. Debido a eso, el gobierno solicita la prorroga del acuerdo Taft y crese se que notificara al efecto al gobierno de Panamá a fin de que las relaciones de negocios entre los dos gobiernoes y con otros países en zona del canal de Panamá puedan continuar en la forma normal. Da no hacerse esto, habría gran confusión respecto al status de las importaciones y exportaciones a través del canal y las personas empeñadas en tales negocios quedarian en la incertidumbre respecto de la conducta que han de observar. Tílenes entendido que ciertos intereses comerciales en Panamá así como otros que pudieran estar afectados por cualquier cambio en los reglamentos actuales, han expresado su apresión respecto de lo que sucedería al primero de mayo no estuviese preparado todavía el nuevo tratado. El gobierno de Panamá les ha asegurado, según se tiene entendido, que no deben tener y que las relaciones de negocios entre los dos países continuarán sin interrupción. Uno de los alegatos del gobierno de Panamá en el memorandum presentado a este gobierno, antes de comenzar las negociaciones actuales, fue que la jurisdicción fiscal de la zona del canal, desde el punto de vista internacional, en cuanto concierne a las importaciones de la república de Panamá y las exportaciones a la misma, nunca fue cedida por el trado del canal. Hay otros puntos que se desan incorporar en el tratado que se negocia, siendo el deseo de este gobierno llegar a un acuerdo final sobre todas las cuestiones pendientes entre los dos gobiernos, algunas de las cuales han sido en el passado motivo de desacuerdo entre los funcionarios del gobierno panameño y los de la zona del canal. Uno de los más importantes es la determinación final respecto de la cantidad de terreno que los Estados Unidos pueden necesitar en el futuro para la protección adecuada del canal de Panama y la manera del avaluro. Al mismo tiempo, existe otras cuestiones recientes que el tratado tratará de fijar, inclusive la cooperación entre los dos gobiernos en el programa de construcción de rutas que Panamá ha iniciado y el derecho a construir puentes a través del canal en varios puntos para facilitar el uso de estas rutas y hacerlas de mayor valor para Panamá bajo el punto de vista comercial, así como el derecho de Panamá a traficar en aeroplano con propósitos commerciales a través del canal de Panamá. Si bien no puede decirse que se ha llegado a un desacuerdo entre los dos gobiernos en sus negociaciones, los que están en contacto intimo con la situación admiten que no han procedido tan rápidamente como se habia esperado. Cierto número de cuestiones están por ajurarse y si b'en algunas de estas pueden solucionarse con celebridad, hay incertidumbre respecto de otras y la terminación del tratado para la firma. Restricción del opio La Liga de Naciones está preparando un memorandum para la celebración de dos conferencias sobre el opio que se reunirán en noviembre próximo. La última de ellas pondra a prueba la capacidad de las naciones cuyo puito de vista e intereses son al menos temporalmente diversas, para ponerse de acuerdo en un programa que acabó con el tráfico del opio. Hay dos objetivos inmediatos bastante definidos, uno de los cuales se propone a catudio en la primera conferencia y el otro se deja para la segunda. El primero es la reducción y el último la supresión del uso del opio por fumadores en las colonias de la Gran Bretagna. Francia y Portugal de la Gran Bretagna. Francia y Portugal en Siam; el segundo es la limitación de la producción de opio en bruto y cocina en hojas a la cantidad requerida para proposiones medicinales y científicas, con limitación consigniantes al total de morfina, herina, cocina que han de manufacturarse e importarse. Se informa que la India se hailla dispara a reducir hacer el punto de la prohibición total la exportación del opio, a las colonias, tan pronto como desata se hallen dispaetas para prohibir, de modo efectivo el fumar opio; pero que no lo ha hasta que el mercado se halla cerrado, porque o distribuirá resuilaria ni puede simplemente en entran el comercio a Punjab y Turquía. Pero el mal se elimina solamente cuando se hailla limitado la producción del comercio del estado.

KITTS NEWSPAPER LEADS FIGHT AGAINST INFAMOUS EMIGRATION ACT Editor Says Liberty Is as Dear to West Indian Natives as Englishmen—Colony Cannot Be Half Slaves and Half Free 10 From the Union Messenger "Only the actions of the just small sweet and blossom in the dust." We make no apology to our readers again bring to their attention the subject of "The Emigrant Laborers Protection Act, 1924." No. 9, of 1924, recently passed by the Federal Legislative Council. Side by side, we have repaired the act and the draft which was first intended to be passed, and we have done this as a means of furnishing convincing proof of the intention and purpose of the originators of the act. Our readers will note that, the first draft, marked No. 1, sets out as a preamble that it is "An Act to regulate the emigration of laborers" whereas in No. 2, which has received the Council and has received the consent of the governor, the probable states "An Act for the protection of emigrant laborers." If our readers will take the trouble of comparing the sections of both, they will discover that there is no material difference between them and that, although an attempt has been made to disguise the intention and purpose in view by such substitutions as "An Act for the protection of emigrant laborers" and omissions, as the interpretation of the expression "Dependent" and sections 8 and 4 of the first draft, yet and in, fact, that intention so clearly seen in No. 1 but disgusted in No. 2, is strongly evident throughout No. 2 if the reading is done carefully. An Ounce on Laborers' Liberty The reason for the sudden attempt to disguise the intent and purpose is well known to us and, if the present Secretary of State for the Colonies will take the trouble to turn over the files of the Colonial Office, he will certainly and some minute papers dealing with the same draft, by one of his predecessors. With the day, was it a little minister. Now that we have brought our readers and the community face to face with the participation of the original and final draft, is for them to decide whether (1). The act of not an outrage on the liberty of a particular class of the population. (2) Class legislation carries out the principle of equality before the law and courts of justice. (1) If these be so, what guarantees have the "classifier" exempted under the provisions of this act, that interference with their liberty is not contemplated and that such interference will not soon be the subject of limitation. Buffing the People It is the principle of the act we are sitting and, though there are some "issues" not directly affected by the provision of this act, yet the men who endeavor to keep even a "dog" in the guitar will find, to their disgust, that they cannot easily carry out their intention without also remaining in the mind. We cannot preserve this cajery intact with half slaves and half free. We need not conceal the fact which by now is patent to all, that his emolency has made an effort to befriend the employers at the entire expense of the laboring "class", and we desire for Eustace Flannes to know that we know that he cannot bluff all the people all the time. Section 8 of the act is the worst bit of legislation we have hit upon anywhere. What is to prevent the Governor (with the approval of the Secretary of State, of course) from declaring the whole world, except Redonda, out of bounds, and what will this mean to you and us? What is meant by "otherwise" in the expression "their ill-treatment or otherwise"? What Liberty Means We wonder if the baronet governor of the colony realizes that "liberty" has the same meaning to us as it had to his Norman ancestor to whom King John surrendered the liberty of the British world of that day at Runnymede in June, 1215? We would be surprised to learn that his excellency has forgotten his own history or at least this portion of it. If our past experience is to stand us in good stead, we ask the people of St. Kitta-Nevia LET'S PUT IT OVER not to forget the Fiennes finance ordinance of 1932. May Enslave Planters Next We ask the planters who will be the beneficiaries of the latest legislation to appreciate that when the Governor attempts to enslave the laborers, he is also attempting to enslave the planters, and we must remind everybody that the better way to protect the laboring "class" is by inducing them to remain at home by legislation to improve labor conditions in the colony. We feel the "hand or hate" in the measure to which his excellency has affixed his signature and we regret to have to say that any crown colony, cicularly a governor of a crown colony, should be as hard to arrest as an institution so ill-conceived, short-sighted and unprincipled.

Dr. Scott Boosts Negro Education in Delaware DOVEL, Del.—"The educational redemption of a State is the high purpose and measure of the generosity of Mr. Pierre S. du Pont," said Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasury of Howard University, Washington, D. C., in an address on April 26, at Dover, Del., before the convention of the Colored Parent-Teacher Association of Delaware, in speaking of the great educational program being carried out in the State of Delaware, made possible by the gifts of Mr. du Pont. "Testifying to the largess of Mr. du Pont," Dr. Scott continued, "is the splendid and most complete Booker T. Washington school building at Dover, Del., costing a total of $64,955.47. The opportunities for service which it offers in the giving of life and direction to the activities of the colored people of this city are numberless. You have within the State of Delaware, according to the recent census, approximately $23,003 people, and of this number $0,525 are colored. This means that the colored population of the State of Delaware is approximately one-seventh of the whole. They are going to prove a halp or hindrance. They are going to make Delaware a better State or a worse State. These $0,525 colored people possess within themselves undiscovered gold mines. It is because man like Mr. du Pont appreciated this fact that they so lavishly poured out money and brains to open the way for education of all the children of the State, irrespective of race or color."

WHITE WOMEN RULE TOWN IN IOWA (From the New York World) Columbus Junction. Ia—The new Iowa idea. A town ruled entirely by women. A woman Mayor, a woman Treasurer, a woman Assessor, a woman Council. Columbus city is a thriving city in Southeastern Iowa. It was established July 4, 1841, by a hardy group of pioneers who drove out the Musquakee, Fox and Sac Indians and claims now to be the first town in the world to elect an entire personnel of women city officials. Grandmothers of the new order fashioned the rude log cabins into homes and reared the mothers of the new officials on prairie bedstands—but few of the present generation know what a prairie bedstead is. "I Told You 80" Seasoned politicians who fought woman suffrage tooth and nail now have their innings and are walking about the streets of this Iowa city with that air of satisfaction which says plainly enough. "I told you so." They are already thinking of how they are going to like it when a woman assessor asks them how old they are, at how much they value their best horse and how much money and credits they are going to report. The men of the city held their convention. They left their convention hall and went down to Kern's store where some one suggested that a woman's ticket be placed in the field. A ticket was arranged. The women consented and the ticket was filed with the City Clerk. Election day came. People flocked to the polls. A 50 per cent larger vote than the average was recorded. The women won—in a walk-away. The new administration has authorized fully the policy it will pursue. The city—just as the state with which it is dry, but the new Mayor might be classified as somewhat damp. She believes in the use of liquor for medicinal purposes. "But we will not tolerate bootlegging or any other form of law-breaking," she declares. "Who will clean the streets?" she was asked by one of the disappointed men. "They will be cleaned," was her prompt reply. Who Are They? The Mayor, Miss Eva Brets, has taught school for twelve years. She is five feet two, has a determined chin, a vigorous personality and a general bearing that radiates efficiency. She is against hobbled hair and cigarets for woman. She asserts that she really was surprised at the result of the election. "However," and she set her determined chin a little higher and snapped her black eyes just a little quicker, "we are going to do the best we can." She was photographed with broom in hand. Miss Mary Moora the new Treasurer, also is a school teacher and superintendent of the United Presbyterian Sunday school. Miss Nellie Moore, the Assessor, is a school teacher and a cousin of the Treasurer. Of the Councilwomen, Mrs. Minnie Richie is the wife of a hardware merchant and undertaker. He opposed her on the ticket, but she defeated him by twenty-sv votes. Mrs. Grace Robertson is the wife of a real estate dealer and stockman. Mrs. Bessie Jameson's husband is the Rev. R. W. Jameson, pastor of the United Presbyterian Church. She believes that more man will no longer be permitted to monopolize the attention of history and of the world. Mrs. Elise Allen is the wife of Joe Allen, local housemover and stone mason. None of the new officials has bobbed hair. BEAUTIFUL NEW SUIT DRESS of Longwear Serge $3.98 FRENCH ROUND Send No Money INTERNATIONAL MAIL ORDER GO boston, massachusetts THOUGHTS ON MATRIMONY Beware of Bickerings; Woman's Devotion Will Not Survive Neglect; Same True of Man Comparing the important with the trivial, marriage has a most remarkable likeness to the game of "tit-for-tat." In other words, we get a very great deal of what we give—and, putting it backwards, we fail to receive much of that which we do not givel. Whether we are cheated or blessed by the lack of such giving on the part of those who are presumably our life partners, depends upon the nature of the thing withheld. And, worse luck, just as surely as bad news circulates more rapidly than good news, so do the undesirable words and moods and acts which married people give to each other seem to come back with much greater speed than those achieved by the good given out, in more or less changed form, or disguise, to the original offender! Indeed, it is as though at the wedding ceremony the clergyman presented each of a blushing couple with two of those primitive weapons, boomerangs, one harmless, even beneficial (if that is not stretching the simile too far) and the other deadly. Upon the presentation the rage clergyman can be imagined as saying, "My child, here do I present you with the power of giving good and evil to your helpmate. The good and evil are represented by these boomerangs. You may fling them from you again and again, and they will come back to you, sooner or later, and with more or less force." Think Before You Speak For several very excellent reasons it is rarely ever wise to voice our first thoughts—without at least silently conning them over—in the matrimonial exchange of comments. Not all these reasons are what might be called purely philanthropic. It is, of course, commendable to refrain from saying very many things for the sake of one's partner in the matrimonial game, but a further argument that should carry much weight is that while even caustic comment may, to one's own mind, be deserved by the erring one, that caustic comment certainly gives the other fellow carte blanche to return said caustic comment or, if any, equivalent to it. Not infrequently there swims into our ken women who treat their husbands rather abominably and get away with it. If we could by some magic visualize the engagement period of these women we would probably see the women giving the men the same treatment—and they got away, with it, the men being simply crazy to win them. And yet, some day such women are going to be old and their shrewish, calculating, ultra-feminine "catty," in other words), dispositions by that time will have made them most unattractive spiritually, mentally and physically. That day, I thoroughly believe, will see a reckoning. Unhappiness cannot but roign over such a woman's household, and the average man will seek, openly or clandestinely, an atmosphere where he is appreciated. Nor will the devotion of a woman long survive neglect in these days when wifely duty and devotion under any and all circumstances is mercifully considered pass. No, even the rather orthodox type of wife now has no compunction in at least turning to her children when she does not receive from her husband the affection and desirable treatment and consideration which would warrant her in giving her own best in return. Beware of indiscreet Remarks "Beware of bickering," some sage woman has said in regard to matrimonial give and take, "for once begun it seems to have no end." That is true. If one partner of the matrimonial contract passes an indiscreet comment, the other promptly feels that the way has been opened for such an indiscretion on his own part. "What she has done to me I am privileged to do her," thinks the hurt man. "Well, he has been the first to break the alliance of courteous restraint in our mutual life. Why should I not follow suit?" bitterly asks the hurt woman of herself. And soon she proceeds to do so. In other words, the deadly boomerangs presented to such a couple upon the day of the ceremony begin to circulate. Soon they are whirling at a terrific rate, and the kind little boomerangs (if there be such things) stay safely at home for fear of getting unmercifully wacked in transit.—Philadelphia Inquirer.

PITTSBURGH EDITOR GIVES GOOD ADVICE TO LOCAL WOMAN'S ORGANIZATION Mrs. F. V. Reeves, Editor of "Pe-iscope," Official Organ of Pittsburgh Council of Negro Women "I congratulate you women upon the organization of your Pittsburgh Women's Council and your commendable effort to establish and conduct your own publicity organs. They are needful and will surely be helpful factors in the upbuilding of the people and community. "Replying to your request for some words for your Everybody's Opinion column. I am writing them for the benefit of your Women's Council—a few lines of advice for them to ponder over. It may be helpful in shaping the organization, making it useful in the development of Pittsburgh women "I hope that the Pittsburgh Council of Negro Women will shun the decadent and igno.ant habit of choosing officers to disregard the lowest in ink. The custom of our organization is evidence of stupidity that reflects upon both officers and members. It is more often that not a sign of preponderance ignorance in a community. "An organization with any reasonable measure of brain power, competence, character and ambition among its members ought to be able to produce a new head, willing and anxious to have a new head now and then at least. One composed of dummier, plain matter with no brain about it will never have a new head. The honest-to-goodness ignorance of some and general cussness of others prompt them to choose officers on the 'until death do us part' plan. So the organization and its members get nowhere, accomplish nothing and finally rot out like all matter of earth. "It does not necessary follow it because one individual is the initiator of an organization this man or woman should die a sudden or natural death as its head. Only the most ignorant of the "jungle" type commit themselves to such a notion. Only a stupidly ignorant individual, one puffed up with arrogant selfishness, would be foolish enough to wear the crown of 'glory' offered by members too senseless and spiritless to improve themselves and have ambition of their own. "A change of officers from time to time is a sign of healthy growth and progress of which no organization should be ashamed. It should rather be a matter of pride among members to know that their organization had more than one individual capable of leading it. It is also a good sign of breadth of mind and spirit when the membership of a body can recognise merit and elevate one of their number ungrudgingly and unselfishly. "I hope that your organization will give young women a chance, members keep their eyes and ears wide open for the discovery of new talent and shun the habit signifying poverty of intellect. I hope it will avoid the timeworm policy of choosing officers for life." I trust that its members will begin and continue to escape the certain monotony which will retard the organization by seeing only one individual fit for an office.

It may become stagnant if its members fall or refuse to make changes when changes are necessary and desirable. If the Pittsburgh Council of Negro Women fulfills its mission, does the work it has set out to do, it will be done because its members have more than one individual capable of heading it and working heartily and sincerely for the purposes of its existence. If the Pittsburgh Council of Negro Women is anything or becomes anything more than it is, it will be because the organization and its objects are far more consequence than the personal or public fortunes of any single member of the body.

Avec mes meilleurs souhaites, j'ai Sir Isaiah Morter, Chevalier-Commandeur de l'Ordre Distingué d'Ethiopie, et un autre prince d'Afrique, est tombé. En ce qui concerne l'home terrestre, ce grand Commandeur n'est plus. Au point de vue de l'esprit, Sir Isaiah n'est pas mort; il est toujours vivant. Dans l'ordre natural des choses, nous acceptons comme un fait accompli l'absence de ceux dont la mission dans ce bas monde est terminée, et qui, au trépas, laissent pour l'éternel séjour des bienheureux, sans même nous rendre compte de leur disparition. La raison en est que leurs actes ne sont enregistrés nulle part. Ces millions de personnes ne vivaient que pour elles-mêmes; tel n'était pas l'ideal de Sir Isaiah Emmanuel Morter, de Bélise. Honduras Anglais, Amérique Centrale. Né d'une parenté modeste, Sir Isaiah eu pour devoir de combattre contre les difficultés et les oppositions qui contromont cette naissance dans la patrente dans l'obecurité. La service de un payement race, par une application incessante et avec un dévouement qui n'est s'est jamais démentis, le défunt a travaillé par une violente émulation, de toutes les manieres dignes de l'honnête homme, et par tous les moyens qu'on ne saura trop apprécier, jusqu'à l'heure où il déposa ses armes de vaillant guerrier. Sir Isaiah s'était identifié avec la Universal Negro Improvement Association après avoir acquérit une certaine aisance. Contrairement à la majorité de ses congénères, M. Morter ne cherchait pas le haut patronage d'une race opposée à la sienne; il se contentait, au contraire, de partager son succès avec la race à la quelle il appartenait. Sir Isaiah Morter fut un vrai patriote, et le premier à écrire son non comme le prototype des bienfaiteurs de sa race. Peu de temps avant sa mort, Sir Isaiah etait à New York pour cause de senté, à cette époque il fut l'hôte de l'écrivain. Pendant son court sejour aux Etats Unis le défunt eu l'avantage de constater l'utilité de l'association, et de voir, par contre, la haine implacable de nos ennemis. Impressionné parce qu'il voyait de l'activité et de l'utilité de la Universal Negro Improvement Association, son intérêt et son zèle se sont augmentés, et enfin de compte Sir Isaiah devint le plier inebranlable de l'Association qu'il etait jusqu'à sa mort. Malheureusement sa santé a été fortement altérée, et après une maladie de longue haleine, il succouba le septième jour du mois d'avril. Sir Isaiah Morter est mort, mais dans le souvenir affectueux des membres de l'association il est toujours vivant. Avant sa mort le défunt voulait aider l'organisation à laquelle il s'était voué avec un dévouement incomparable, ce bienfaiteur de sa race dans son testament a legué à l'Association Universelle pour l'Avancenent de l'Ouvre de la Rédemption Africaine, près de deux tiers de sa fortune, savoir une affaire de $50,000 à $100,000. Ce don testamentaire est le premier legs important laissé a la Universal Negro Improvement Association. C'est une preuve tangible de la loyaure des membres de l'association à la cause qu'ils ont épousé. Si nos congenières des Antilles et d'Amérique voulait suivre le brillant example de ce grand bienfaiteur de sa race, pour faire de l'Association Universelle pour l'Avancement de la Race Négre ce qu'elle doit devenir, ici quelques annuées non seulement que la redemption africaine sera un fait accompli, mais aussi l'ensemble de la Race Négre sera mis en relief et occupera une position où le monde entier sera mis en demeure de nous accorder la place conquise. Autrefois le Négre était disposé, en mourant, de leguer ses biens aux institutions et aux amis blancs; aujourd'hui il n'en est rien de cela. Malheureusement notre race a beaucoup perdu par cette déloyauté de ses enfants qui, ayant des fortunes, ont micux aimés les leguées à d'autres races étrangères. Sir Isaiah Morter, dis-je nous a tracé un example notoire et singulier de loyauté raciale, et la mémoire de ce qu'il a fait restera un souvenir ineffacable dans l'estime de la Universal Negro Improvement Association et dans la chronologie de la littérature africaine. Le nom de Sir Isaiah sera gravé en lettres d'or sur la mémoire de la postérité Nègre. Ne devons-nous pas ériger des monuments pour perpétuer la mémoire de Sir Isaiah Morter? $50.000 a $100.000 dans à la Universal en ce moment pourra beaucoup pour aider la cause qui nous êtes chère, et cette valeur nous mettra à même de poursuivre l'oeuvre de la reconstruction de Liberia. Au moyen de cet argent les colons pourront beaucoup pour réaliser l'objectif qu'ils se sont proposés. La Universal Negro Improvement Association fait un appel général aux Négres du monde entier, d'honorer et de révérencer le nom de Sir Isaiah Emmanuel Morter. Il fut, ce brave lutteur, non seulement un ami de la cause Noire, mais il était un patriote et un royaliste de premier ordre. A l'heure présente nous faisons appel au contingent de la race dias miné par tout dans le monde, de nous aider à faire l'expédition de notre premier navire qui emmenera les premiers coulons qui vont mettre la main à l'oeuvre de la reconstruction économique et industrielle de la République de Libéria. Avec mes meilleurs souhaits, j'ai l'honneur d'être. Votre dévoué serviteur. MARCUS GARVEY.

MARCUS GARVEY. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 10, 1824 Revue des Journaux Nous avons eu le plaisir de recevoir les journaux suivants: LE LIBERB. Ce journal est le "Tribune du Peuple Malgache" et une véritable sentinelle qui est sans miséricorde dans ses dénoncistions des méfaits qui sont indignes de ceux qui se reclament du nom d'avant-garde de la civilisation moderne. Nous admirons son courage civique et son franc parler. D'après le "Libérér", les Malgaches ont été déposés des terres qui les font vivre. Il nous est difficile de comprendre comment la Déclaration des Droits de l'Homme et du Citoyen est méconnue de la sorte, en territoire français. Si pareille situation existait à Georgia où l'homme Noir n'a aucun droit, cela se comprendra sans peine; mais des méfaits semblables en territoires français, "c'est la mort de Jules César en plein Sénat romain." L'ACTION COLONIAL. Cet organe indépendant, dans son numéro du 25 mars, donne la photographie de S. A., le Prince Kojo Tovalou Houenou, avocat à la Cour d'Appel de Paris et Président de la Ligue Universelle pour la Défense de la Race Noire. Dans sa défense de cette race, ce journal est un avocat intransigant des droits de l'Homme Noir. Nous accordons a ce confrère un accueil cordial et fraternel, avec promesse de reprodire aussi souvent possible les articles qui touchent le bien-être de la Race Noire. COMOEDIA. Journal de la Comédie et de musique. *Le Comedia* consacre le quart d'une page au génie du grand ténor americain noir, Roland Hayes tout en reproduisant la photographie d'un buste par Mme. Renée Vautier. Dans un prochain numéro nous ne manquerons pas de donner de la place aux talents musicales de ce price noir qui joue son rôle parmi le grands musiciens contemporains. LA SOLOITR DES ARTISTES de la Guadeloupe. Cest avec plaisin que nous publions (L'Artisteonymale, edition de Paris), l'article qui a trait à cette Société des Artistes Antillais de la Guadeloupe—colonie française. Jusquici nous n'avons pas eu l'avantage de voir l'organe officiel dont il est ici question. Connaissant, cependant, les difficultés diverses aux quelles les journaux litteraires sont aux prises, surtout une publication artistique de ce genre, nous souhaitons, de tout coeur, à la Société des Artistes Antillais, un résultat heureux, de joie et d'utilite publiques — consquence d'une vie semipertnelle. — Editeur. LA SOCIETE DE ARTISTES ANTILLAIS (Communique) Le second numéro du Bulletin de la Société des Artistes Antillais annoncé pour novembre parait ce soir — Nous prions nos abonnés, les membres de la société et nos lecteurs d'excuser un léger retard et d'acceuir avec bienveillance ce premier essai de publication artistique à la Guadeloupe. Pour la première fois il est fondé un journal de ce genre aux Antilles et ce n'est pas sans peine que nous avons pu, avec les éléments trouvés sur place, le réaliser. S'il s'est encore glissé quelques imperfections nous férons mieux et nous arriverons à la parfaite présentation qu'on est habitué à trouver dans les belles revues françaises. Grâce à la bonne volonté, à la perévérance de notre imprimeum M. A. Lauric qui accepte toutes nos exigences avec le désir d'arriver au but que nous poursuivrons ensemble, nous sommes assurés, d'un résultat heureux dans l'avenir. La plupart des dessins qui figurent dans le Bulletin ont été gravés à la Guadeloupe. Nous espérons que le public appuira les efforts des artisans guadeloupeens en leur contant les travaux qu'ils peuvent exécuter aussi bien qu'à l'étranger. Ce serait pour eux un encouragement à augmenter leur outillage et agrandis leurs entreprises. Ils apporteraient ainsi plus de gout dans leurs travaux et arriveraient au perfectitonnement qui en découle. Cela au grand bien de tous et de la prosperité de notre pava. Puisse la Société des Artistes Antillais créeer ce mouvement heureux ! GERMAINE CASSE. Présidente de la Société des Artistes Antillais. Les dettes interallées A la séance de mercredit aux Communes, M. MacDonald a dit que la question des détails-interallies n'a fait récemment l'objet de conversations d'auxcune sorte entre la Grande-Bretagne, la France et les Etats-Unis. Par S. A. le Prince Kojo Tovalou Houenou L'Action Coloniale, Edition de Paris Mesdame et Measieurs: Je regrette beaucoup, au moment où la France traverse une période critique, d'être obligé de dresser un violent requisitoire contre la politique coloniale qui englobe aujourd'hui presqu'en sa totalité le problème de la Race Noire. C'est une seconde bataille de la Marne que la France est en train de livrer. Elle est au temps de paix, donc pacifique; elle est financière; donc, économique; mais elle est apre, acharnée, et nous ignorons quel en sera le sort. D'ores et déjà, je désolidarise entièrement la France d'avec la politique de quelques-uns de ses enfants. Nous qui avons été élevés dans la Métropole, nous la connaissons et nous l'aimons, et nous avons en elle une confiance inébranlable. Mais les mandataires qu'elle envoie dans ses colonies, j'ai le regret de la dire sans ambages, ne font pas leur devoir; plus que cela, ils trahissent l'intérêt de la France, et par là, compromettent son avenir; ils trahissent l'intérêt de l'Afrique, et par là aussi, compromettent l'avenir d'un peu qui a droit à l'existence Ma sympathie, mon affection, mon amour pour la France, ne sauriat faire aucun doute, puisqu'aux heures critiques de 1914, sans aucune violence extérieure, spontanément, j'ai assumé le devoir de tout citoyen, et j'ai exposé ma vie comme tous les Français. (Applaudissements.) D'ailleurs, voilà bientôt vingt-quatre ans que j'habite la France. J'ai veu de toute la vie française; mon enfance, ma ignisseuse, se sont passées au milieu des camarades qu'aujourd'hui, possède un jolot, sont couches pour toujours, la-bas sur le champ de bataille, et qu'on s'est empresse d'oublier après l'armistice. C'est dire que j'y ai des attaches profondes, sincères, et que si, pendant la période du danger, du grand risque, j'ai eu le courage militaire, aujourd'hui, à contre-coeur, malgré l'inopportunity de mon intervention, je veux avoir le courage civique, et déclarer publiquement, que, dans les colonies, les enfants que vous nous envoyez de la Métropole vous trahissent, compromettent votre avenir, amassent de telles rancoeurs, de telles haines, qu'il n'est pas juste et équitable, qu'elles éclatent un jour et blessent à nouveau la France multiéuse, si belle, si grande et si génère. Et vous savez qu'à l'heure présente où vous êtes entourés d'ennemis de toutes parts, à l'heure où les Alliés d'hier, par l'équivoque de leur attitude, vous suscitent des difficultés innombrables dont vous ne rasurez pas la portée, vous avez tort de renier et de torturer des étres simples, rudimentaires, aux coeurs ardents et fidèles, qui s'attachent à votre sort et veulent vivre votre vie. Depuis qu'ils ont perdu leurs patriarches, les anciens rois détrônes et exilés, ils ont cru ingénement que les gouverneurs seraient pour eux de bienveillants tuteurs. Quelle amère et cruelle déception ! L'Europe a inauguré dans les colonies l'ère de la veritable sauvagerie et de la vraie barbarie, celle qui est faite avec science et prénéditation, avec tout l'art et de raffinement de la civilisation. Les malheureux indigènes ont confondu leur sort avec le votre, ils sont préts à lutter toujours à vos côtés, ils sont vrainent le capital matériel et moral sur lequel vous avez le droit de compter, et qui ne vous faillira pas, si vous savez, au moment précis, rompre avec ces intermédiaries qui vous trompent et les trompent. (Applaudissements.) Les orateurs qui m'ont précédé de devaient poser le problème de la Race Noire, et mon rôle, à moi, était d'en trouvez la solution, en posant des conclusions pratiques. Par suite d'une indisposition facheuse de M. René Maran, M. Alfred Auronasseau avec toute sa ferveur lyrique, est intervenue pour prendre la parole en son lieu et place. J'ai moi-même supplédé M. René Maran, à la seconde conference annoncée. J'ai étudié le problème de la Rase Noire, que seuls les Européens ont posé, puisque nous autres, Noirs ou Nègres, nous lignorons parfaitement. Les races sont toutes les bienvenues comme une magnifique floralisou de la Terre. Nous ne comprenons pas que la couleur intervienne dans un exposé intellectuel ou moral; nous ne comprenons pas que la couleur intervienne même dans les questions économiques; nous ne comprenons rien au but. égoliste et barbare que veulent atteindre certaines civilisés qui croient que la civilisation ne peut reillement parvenir à son sommet qu'en mecommaisant les lois originelles, en abaisant, en asservissant les hommes qui ont le droit naturel de vivre, d'évoluer et d'atteindre le plein eponouissement de leur être. Nous ignorons tout du problème, aussi ne vous l'ai-je point exposé; je me suis contenté de faire l'historique de ses phases successives, en Europe et en Amérique. Je me suis contenté de vous dire très rapidement et très succintement que le problème surgit au moment de la découverte de l'Amérique, lorsque les Européens, enivrés de gloire, d'aventures, et surtout de rapine, ont voulu conquerir des terres, qui ne leur appartenent pas. Ils detruisirent les aborigènes, ils exterminèrent, et puis, effrayés du vide créé, incapables de travailler eux-mêmes, ils eurent recours à des mains-d'oeuvre. C'est l'Afrique qui fournit le contingent aux travaux forcés, cette Afrique dont vous ignorez la douloureuse histoire, et qu'un jour, un de ses fils vous retracera en traits de feu, monument de honte pour cette civilisation dont vous vous enorgueillissez. Hors de l'humanité, pas de civilisation. Si les monstres perdus de vices, imbibés d'alcool, tarés de syphilis, que vous nous envoyez, n'ont d'autres bien faits que ceux qu'ils nous ont apportés jusqu'à présent, eh bien, gardez-les pour vous et laissez-nous nous replongeur dans notre misère et notre bararie. Toute la fatalité qui pase dans les tragédies eschyliennes, n'approche pas de la noirceur de la tragédie africaine. Sous couvert de cilivisation, on traque les hommes comme des fauves, on les pille, on les vole, on les tue. Et ces horreurs sont présentées cunique dans de beaux morceaux d'oelquence comme des bienfaits. On ajoute : ocristie et la fourberie aux crimes. Puisque malgré les Africains, malgré les Noirs, beaucoup plus civilisés en cela, on a posé le problème des races, et en particulier celui de la Race Noire, quelle en peut être la solution? Que souhaitons-nous dans les colonies, nous autres sujets, ou par une faveur spéciale, dispense avec parcimonie, devenus des citoyens? Nous souhaitons que ces lois qui consacrent et codifiient l'airbiraire soient abrogées. Il n'y a pas de moyen terme; il faut à la colonie une nouvelle charte. Lorsqu'un membre est gangrené, l faut intervenir rapidement: section du membre, amputation, — volla ce que fait le chirurgien. Il arrive qu'il hésite, atermie, tattonne, le mal saggrave et gagne du terrain, alors un ignorant audacieux prend le bistouri, sectionne l'organe malade, blesse l'organe sain. C'est ainsi que le gouvernement, qui devrait aider à l'évolution du peuple, car l'évolution suppose le mouvement en pelle liberté, pousse à une intervention ignorante, inhabile, et meladroite, a ce qui, après tout, est la première émpe de l'évolution à la révolution. Et dans l'exercice de cette révolution, dans ce droit du peuple d'agir en lieu et place du technicien, il se produit des actes regrettables. Nous devons les empécher, parce que nous devons prévoir et arrêté des gestes néfastes, funestes pour la collectivité. Or, si nous ne prenons pas garde, dans les colonies il se produira des actes regrettables. Les conclusions que nous devons tirer de l'examen de la situation actuelle des colonies sont les suivantes: tout d'abord, il faut aux colonies la possibilité de faire entendre leur voix dans les affaires du gouvernement. Ce que je dis des administrateurs pourrait sembler exagéré, maïs M. Augagneur Gouverneur de l'Afrique Equatoriale, est intervenièl maintes fois au Ministère des Colonies pour signaler les abus quotidiens de la politique coloniale, et surtout de la politique dis de l'indigné. Cette politique est une course de vexations perpétuelles. Puer, nous en donner un exemple : l'Eropéen passant dans la rue pent est tirer un indigne, et il infliger quinque jours de prison, pour l'unique ralson qu'il n'ote pas son chapau. Vous me direz que ce sont la des faits insignifants; mais l'arbitalire va beaucoup plus loin. Le pouvoir de l'Administrateur est en forme. Contrairement à ce qui pousse en Europe, c'est le quinquièd de tous les pouvuis; c'est le quinquièd du pouvois législatif et exécutif; c'est le quinquièd du pouvois judiciaire militaire; c'est le pouvois des politiques contrele. Quelquefois l'Administrateur — souvent un rupture violente, il l'yure à toutes les faitsales soldières qui lui traverent l' imagination. Ces actes, l'auto vous m'ai MI. René Maras dont on a tant critique la Présace de "Batouala" — vous les racontat lui-même, parce qu'avec sa vision netté, et aurout avec son style réaliste, il aurait su les dépendre dans leur horrible crudité. Je n'approchai pas de son réalisme, et je ne veux pas m'attarder à des tableaux repoussants. It me suffit de dire qu'aujourd'hui encore, dans les colonies, il y a des administrateurs qui posent, en guise de suppositaires, des cartouches de dynamite aux derrières des indigènes, les font courir, et tout à coup la dynamite saute, et l'indigène est volatilisé; ceel ce passe dans les colonies françaises. Voyez-vous, je regrette de dire publiquement ces choses. Et il y en a tant d'autres! J'ai assumé une tache pénible, il me répugne d'insister. (4 quires) S. A. LE PRINCE KOJO TOVALOU HOUENOU Avocat a la Cour d'Appel de Paris President de la Ligue Universelle Pour la Defense de la Race Noir Par XAVIER DE THEILLES L'Action Coloniale, Edition de Paris Tout republicain qu'on le sait, il faut bien convenir que la science et le travail ont largement qualifié la noblesse d'un prince de Monaco, d'un prince Bonaparte, d'un duc de Broglie. C'est le cas de M. Kojo Tovalou. Son palais natal fut une case en terre de barre, recouverte de clame. Humiles que habitera casas. Il apparaît aujourd'hui à cette élite, mais c'est à cette case qu'il attache sa plus grande fierté. Il rive d'y accrocher un jour tous ses parchimina. Docteur en Médecine, et avocat à la Cour de Paris, il est aussi professeur de philosophie et de linguiastique à l'Ecole Interallée des Hautes Eutides. Ce descendant de Béhauzin pourrait jouer les princes charmants de Scheherazade et les monarches en exile. Il prefa s'assimilier en quelques années le fruit de quelques siècles de notre civilisation. Avouez que ce ne sont pas la d'ordinaires ieux de prince. Dans les salons on il fréquente, derrière le barreau, devant sa table d'opération, partcut il apporte un admirable mélange de correction et d'intelligence, de sagesse et d'erudition. Il est distingueu au sens le monis salonard et le plis humain de ce mot. Ceux de notre race qui l'appellent "maitre" lui manifestent la même admiration que les sujets de Béhazin accordaient à leur chef et roi. Il appartient à cette ancienne famille des Forgerons (Ayatos), qui voulait instaurer au Dahamey le règne de la Paix. Aucune noblesse du Gotha ne poursuit revendiquer un but aussi haut. Il demeure celui de M. Kojo Tavalout. N'étant pas de ces princes qui oublient leurs sujets sitôt la supression de leur liste civile, il rélame cette Paix, et aussi la Liberté pour ses frères—qu'il furent de 1914 a 1918 ses frères de combat. S'il manifeste aujourd'hui quelque amertune, quelque exigence, quelque colère contre nos méthodes coloniales, c'est avec les raisons d'un ancien combattant et d'un Universitaire. Peut-être a-t-il aussi les droits de deplorer que le scope ravi a Béhanzin soit parfois transformé en trique. Mais il alme trop la République pour la rendre responsable d'un mal dont il commande les compailles, et qu'il denonce aujourd'hui. Les fêtes du contenaire de Bryce ont commencé mercredi matin par l'imaginaire d'une plaque memorative poised sur la maison de "Madeleine" 0 étalent aussi contrife, quelles chiffres de l'opposition.

ALGERIE L'importation des voitures automobiles en Algérie L'importation des voitures automobiles en Algérie est en progrès marqué, qui est d'alléaure en rapport avec le développement pris par le pays. En 1902, les achats d'automobiles s'élavait à 862.00 fr. en 1905, achats étalent de 2.857.00 francs et attaient à 8.528.00 fr. en 1910. En 1913, la valeur des importations s'élevait à 23.225.00 fc. Apres avoir fléchi légèrement de 1915 à 1920, le trafic a progressé depuis sensiblement. En 1921, le nombre des automobiles importés en Algérie s'élevait à 1.477 pour une valeur de 51,978.00 fr. En 1922, 1.500 voitures ont été importées représentant 68,487.00 francs. La Revolution en Mexique D'après les dernières informations reçues les troupes fédérales seraint en possession de tous les points d'appui récemment encourus aux mains des rebelles. Les communications seraient rétablies et le pays reprendrait son activité normale. Le générale de La Huerta, che des rebelles, aurait débarqué à Key West (Floride). et se serait renou dans l'intérieur des États-Unis. Le resident anglais à Mexico, M. Barley, dont on a anoncé l'après-t tion il ya quelques jours, sera jugé par les autorites civiles. Sa demande de mise en liberté provisoire sout- caution a été refusée. Le ministre de l'intérieur aurait fait savoir que l'arrestation de M. Barley aurait amené la déconverter d'un complot contre le général. Obregon.

Bavannah, Ga. Wants to Drive West Indiana Out of Cuba To the Editor of The Negro World. Please permit me space in your valuable paper to say a few words to the sleepy Negroes, and principally to those who are resident now in Cuba, as I am. Three months ago, the periodical "La Discussion" of Havana, was extremely rigid and furious in its attack in editorials on British West Indians in Cuba. The nervous editor of that paper classed us to be undesirable elements, insignificant, and direct causes of epidemics. Where he obtained such "truths" from cannot yet be infounded. The rantings were quite absurd and amusing. However one of our West Indian brothers answered him conclusively through the "Havana Port." This week "El Mundo" took the off-ensive and launched an attack on us. But much excuse must be given the latter; when reading between the lines you find he wants to make Cuba white. In concluding the article he says: "We are entering truly into our time of prosperity; it is estimated that the population must be 10,000,000, so we won't have to feel for labor, but alas! we see that that amount will be made up of West Indiana. We can as well do without them" "El Mundo" also strongly appealed to Congress to close the door on Asiatics. Eye hath not seen, ear hath not heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of all Negro men, the things which Garveyism is teaching and preparing for us. Our undisciplined, selfish, and quits all right impulses are too strong. We need not flatter ourselves too much that we shall have no difficulties out here. It is in the air. We look at it narrowly and look at it well, too. The Ku Klux Klan of America wants America white. England must be white, Australia is being made white; alas! Cuba wants to be white also. The words of the great Marcus Garvey are coming truer every day. Oppression and stagnation caused us to leave our island homes. Soon Cuba's door will be closed on us. Antiqua (M. W. I.) has passed its first lingering death law. There is but one solution. We are now in the time when the greatest message and invitation is sounding to the sons and daughters of Africa. The provision is now being made for us. "Let's put it over." Our liberties will no more be restricted. Let's fall in line so as to carry it to its final fulfillment early. With an insoluble determination, let's make Africa black. A NEW NEGRO. Camaguey, Cuba. BISHOP L. E. GUINN one more sturdy screen, chestnut, Owl Dealer in Pure Negro Literature.

The Edward Wilmot Blyden Political Club has sent communications to Senators Hiran Johnson, McLean, Copeland and several other Senators and Congressmen, requesting that they urge the passage of Bill B. 2786—To provide a civil form of government for the Virgin Islands." This bill had its second reading in the Senate, and is now in the hands of a committee Wood Resolution Proposes Negro War Memorial WASHINGTON — Representative Will Wood Republican, of Indiana, has introduced H.R. Resolution No. 245 in Congress, "to create a commission to secure plans and designs for and to erect a monument or memorial building in the city of Washington to the memory of the Negro soldiers and sailors who fought in the wars of our country and the late World War." — There are 35 Negro builders and building contractors in Columbus, Ohio. — Our young ladies in Oklahoma City have organized a business and professional Girls' Club.

It is said this discovery should add many years to lives of people in all parts of the world and quickly restore many strength, youthful vigor, grace and beauty lost by neglect or abuse. Scientists agree that the secret of health and vigor lies in the internal glands and, if these glands are stimulated and kept in normal activity, and mild live forever and aliment such as tired, worn-out weakness, nervous debility, shallow completion, loss of weight, poor memory, premature senility, scrawny rebelliousness at night, pains, headache, melancholy, dependency, etc. should disappear. taken in the privacy of the home. It was brought to the attention of the Atlas Laboratories, who, after careful research, have such great faith in its restorative power that they make it possible to make it known to Vim-Eta, and is said to produce almost immediate results, first indications being imputed appetite, nerves turned up, restful sleep, and health to test it without the slightest risk.

Address all orders High Commissioner General Office UNIVERSA IMPROVEMENT 54-60 West NEW YO (Continued from page 2) American Civil Liberties Union, who was unable to be present, sent a message as follows: "All of us who are concerned with the principles of civil liberty, on which this nation was founded, are deeply interested in seeing them applied to the Virgin Islands. We will stay with you until victory is won in the night for a civil government for the islands and for the full rights of citizenship for every Virgin Islander. We will continue to use our efforts against the exploitation of the islands an their domination by officers of the Navy. I speak for a large number of American citizens in extending to you our greetings and our assurance of continued support in our common task." Without the shadow of a doubt it showed that the people of the Virgin Islands are solidly behind the program enunciated by Casper Holstein, as the meeting this afternoon proved conclusively that leadership of the kind that is characterizing the Holstein administration is bound to pay large dividends in the end. When a man by the most rigid exercise of honesty and sincerity, can bring so many people together under the banner of a single cause, and for four hours subject them to a serious discussion of a vexed political and racial problem, such as is confronting the people of the Virgin Islands today, certainly must have something in him out of the ordinary type of men. Mr. Holstein has brought to the cause of the Virgin Islanders intelligence, loyalty and service, spending and being spent in the hope to make the work a success. When Mr Mitchell was introduced by Chairman Jeppe he received an ovation. Among other things, he said "It is impossible for me to thank you in words for the honor that this society has conferred upon me in inviting me to speak, and I know of no way in which I can so well attest my regard and appreciation as to respond cheerfully, even though, as is necessarily the case, my words must be few and very simple "To gladden your hearts with a flood of oratory is not my intention.

The sheaf of wheat is indisolubly wedded to the ship in the increase of American power. We Negroes are all one people, one in origin, one in race, one in country, one in destiny. "He, there, is far from wise today who asserts, in the press, or anywhere else, that one part of our country is ordained to rule all the rest, and who is seeing by the artful appeal of the demagogue to urge on the time when class shall be arrayed against class, section against section that the party of discord treachery and mob-law may ride on the whirlwind into the high places of power "What did the people of Continental United States want with the Virgin Islands?" This is asked over and over again, and just, as if no satisfactory answer could possibly be made to it, and yet no question can be more easily answered. We want the Virgin Islands just as we want anything else that we can make useful to ourselves. Who can doubt that the possession of these islands within six days sailing of New York City, commanding the entrance to the Caribbean Sea abounding in excellent timber dye woods and cabriot woods of the finest qualities, producing sugar, cotton, tropical fruits and plants, may not prove advantageous to America? So long as land and productions are valuable at all they will be as valuable to the American people as to others, and no painful question as to what we want with them will be allowed to obscure the fact that their strategic location may yet prove highly beneficial to this country. If America is really in favor of freedom and free institutions, if we would be, as a nation a grand civilizing force among the nations of the earth and bless the world as well as ourselves, we want the Virgin Islands as an instrument of power in carrying out that beneficial mission. Mon do not live by bread alone. Nations should be something more than rich and comfortable at home. It is sometimes said that America has enough to do at home without looking abroad but I think it will be found that that nation which is most earnest and active in setting the country right at home will, at the same time, be most sensitive to the claims of justice and liberty abroad." Mr Mitchell then gave. In a most interesting way, a running account of the people and conditions of the Virgin Islands, incorporated in the report of the Commission, which has already appeared in The Negro World. There was splendid music by Finlay's trass band, recitations by Miss B. Emith and Miss Naomi Estelle Branker, a child prodigy from Brooklyn; a solo by Mme. A. Frazier Roberson, who responded to an encore, and a fine address by Dr Hubert H Harrison. T. Thomas Fortune, editor of The Negro World, was introduced to the audience, but declined to make any remarks. It was a very brilliant and successful gathering TRIP AROUND GLOBE WITH LIVE-WIRE SAILOR (Continued from page 2) load general cargoes. I learned from no less an authority that the stevedore (white) who had charge of the loading that they (whites) have had to change their attitude toward he native. He also explained a case that had happened recently on a ship, discharging general cargo. Something went wrong on one of the lighters—the managing stevedore went on he lighter and struck one of the men. This man was big enough to have knocked him down, but he refrained. The entire gang ceased work and refused to continue until satisfaction was obtained in the way of an apology and money. Our next port was Durban, where I again met old friends and found them more enthusiastic than ever. I also met a West Indian who has been twenty years in Africa, speaks several African languages, and travels about the country. He is an ardent Carvoyte, gets his papers (in a way of his own) regularly. I obtained some copies from him, also a glowing report of the spread of Carvoyism in Africa. His message to the parent body is 'Keep up the fight. Africa is following on.' We next went to Santos, Brazil There is no West Indian community in this district, and the U. N. I. A. is very little known among the masses. I have been told that in Rio Janeiro, capital of Brazil the Negro World is on sale, and that Garveyism is well known, also that there are quite a number of West Indian residents in that city. I should like the numerous readers and members of the U. N. I. A to imagine the glorious feeling of breathing the air of a country where liberty and freedom, political, economical and social, is enjoyed, regardless of color. In Brazil it is not uncommon see black ships' officers, wireless operators included; military cadets, customs officials and black men sitting in the best resturants and on any seat in train, car or theatre. What an odious comparison our native land Africa is to this! Well, may our souls cry out for a hastening of "The Day." I discovered a young Portuguese, who was working discharging the cargo, to be very in interested in the U. N I A. He had been at one time a sailor and traveled about the world somewhat. His collection of books and newspaper clippings shows that he has a keen desire for knowledge. He is endeavoring to raise himself above the status of a dock worker. When I informed him that the Negro World could be bought in Rio Janeiro he immediately sent an order for it, through a local news agent. He was most profuse in his thanks when I presented him with a few copies. He returned on the following day and similarly, but earnestly, said, "Reading the Negro World is like eating a piece of bread." He also said he had lent a copy to a customs officer, another to a school teacher and would pass Any Man Can I Look Young Eminent German Science Discovery for Restoration Vitality Can Can Feel Your Young and Be German Scientist Perfects Library for Restoring the Power Vitality of Youth. Any Man Can Feel Young, Look Young and Be Young Discovery for Restoring the Power and Vitality of Youth. EVERY MAN OR WOMAN who has grown old "too soon" may be rejuvened and again enjoy, but the difficulty is prosectionally or in ousness the thrills of renewed vigor, strength and vitality as in the days of youth. An eminently successful German scientist, after years of research, has discovered a simple, unscandalous treatment for arousing, stimulating and developing the mysterious Endocrine glands that affect practically all of the vital functions of the human body. The Endocrine Laboratory was so enthroned in the early days of the report of eminent physicians that they have arranged to make this treatment easily available to all who realise that they are "too old" for their years and feel the need of a more arduous rejuvenating visit. This treatment, is based on its quick, direct, selective action, is called GLANOTONE, comes in tablet form, is inexpensive and can be easily taken by any one. THOUNDS. Thousands of the most immediate results have been caused at the almost two years of the time, frequently within two or three days, and astonished to feel the vigor and strength of youth returning to them so soon. The great success of the LOROFTON is the most important of the total of the total of the total of the GLAND and AFRICAN RARE treatment together with other powerful best harmless ingredients for stimulating both gland and nerve centers to normal activity, causing ailments to disappease and vigor, health and power to return. This dreading and wishing to avoid painful, dangerous and expensive operations was sent to the Endocrine Laboratory to name, K. St. Louis, U.S.A. and they will send you by mail a full $4.60 treatment for the advertising price of $2.00. In arrival pay the postman only this small sum and a few new Government postage.

Of all the places I visited, this was the only one in which I met open hostility. This was not so much against the movement as against the Hon. Marcus Garvey. Furthermore, it came from one of the race. He keeps a small clothing business, and in the course of our conversation he denounced Marcus Garvey. Suffice it to say that all knowledge he has has been got from the "Chicago Defender," and other such publications, of which he has some on sale. He w. unaware of Marcus Garvey's release, as the "Defender" is now dumb on anything concerning the U.N. I. A. He was surprised to learn that the "Defender" was the first paper that the Hon. Marcus Garvey brought an action against for libel and won the day. At the end of our co-operation his belief in our president general's guilt was somewhat shaken, as he conclude "by saying 'We need such men.
