The Negro World

XVI. No. 14 NEW YORK, SATURDAY, MAY 17, 1924 PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK SEVEN CENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE U.S. TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES FOURTH INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION OF NEGROES TO BE BIGGEST IN HISTORY FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: We are fast approaching the time when we will hold our next Annual International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World, at which the vital issues of our race will be considered and legislated for. It is known everywhere that the only serious world convention of Negroes is that held under the auspices of the Universal Negro Im- provement Association, where not sectionalism is discussed nor narrow-mindedness, but where representatives of the race from all parts of the world congregate to give information to each other about world conditions as they affect us as a people, and to legislate against them for our general uplift and improvement. It is fully realized that if the Negro is to be saved; it cannot be done in sections, but as a whole, and it is for that reason that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is linking up the 15,000,000 Negroes of America with the millions of Negroes in the West Indies, South and Central America, Canada and Australia. We believe that it is only by the congregation of this great scattered whole that we can help the scattered minorities as they exist among other peoples, abused, downtrodden and oppressed. Elaborate Program Our Fourth International Convention will surely go down in history as the greatest of all our assemblages, because thereat we are going to have presented to us, in an intelligent and elaborate manner, those important issues that we must decide before we can march ahead toward progress. This will not be a convention on paper nor a convention of men who speak only from their lips, but it will be a gathering, serious and determined in its import, which shall not fail to make its impress upon the thoughtful minds of the world. It is known everywhere that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is a serious organization, struggling not for a change of our racial complexion, but for the development of a strong racial character. We are unlike other Negro movements, because we are true to ourselves. We feel that the Negro's place in the world will be fixed by himself, and it will be one of no mean order. We are going to fix a permanent place of empire, an empire upon which other men will not heap scorn and abuse, but will take pleasure in respecting because of the reflection of its higher civilization, culture and humanity. The Negro Is Humane The Negro, as everybody knows, is a humane creature. He loves justice. He loves peace. He is ever ready to bestow charity; hence, the free and liberal world is bound to accept the Negro of the future with open arms into the confraternity of nations and peoples working for a higher ideal. As Negroes, we are setting our aims and objects high. They are as high as the mount of human elevation. We ascend where other men ascend. We climb where other men climb, and we shall rest where other men in the highest accomplishment of all that is possible to humanity shall rest. Not until then. Universal Negro Improvement Association Eternal Yet, the Universal Negro Improvement Association is eternal, because it seeks to take the Negro into the possession of those things that are desired by all mankind for NEW YORK TO BE SCENE OF GREAT GATHERING PEOPLE COMING FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD PROGRAM OF NEGRO INDUSTRIALISM TO BE DISCUSSED UNITING THE HANDS OF NEGROES ACROSS THE SEAS NARROW-MINDEDNESS OF DU BOIS AND HIS CROWD MUST CEASE man's happiness, for man's pleasure, for man's comfort, and that reaches to the end of time. Man seeks not comfort and happiness for a day, but he desires to perpetuate it even as long as life lasts. So, we are going to work for the accomplishment of this high aim, and we call upon the four hundred million Negroes to rally now behind this august organization and help us put the program over. The fellow who lacks backbone, initiative, purpose, racial stamina and character, like the Du Bois and James Weldon Johnson type, will naturally say that it is impossible for Garvey and his crew to accomplish the idea of empire. But why should we waste time about these improperly educated men who have not benefited by their knowledge of history? Races That Have Climbed to Empire The black race is not the first that has made an effort to climb the heights of and pinnacle of empire. Other races less favored than the Negro of today started to climb, and reached higher pinnacles than ever we aspired to. Didn't the Briton, the slave of the Roman, make an effort to climb, and did he not climb out of the clutches of the merciless and heartless slave master to the heights of British imperialism that now sways the world? If it were not impossible for the Briton to climb to the heights of empire, why should it be impossible for the Negro of the twentieth century to climb likewise? But these so-called intellectual and educated fellows who have been fooling the people and working for the advancement of their own selfish selves will now realize that the common people are looking at history in the light of modern intelligence, and will not take their instructions and information from those who cannot profit by the experience of the past. What is there impossible about nationalism for the race? Is nationalism impossible to the French? Is nationalism impossible to the Englishman, to the German or Italian? Then, why is nationalism to be impossible to the Negro? Has not the Negro the same feelings, passions and desires as other men? Surely so, and with these desires, passions and ambitions we are going to rise to great heights, and the Negro who says "No" may as well, like Du Bois, hang his head in shame and be satisfied to get out of the race and be what he wants to be, but a Negro. The Builder of Nations The working men of other races, not philosophers, have made their nations. The working men of the Negro race shall yet restore Ethiopia to her ancient glory. Among Negroes this is not the age for philosophers. This is the age for workers. Philosophers are naturally the luxury of a developed civilization. We cannot afford to indulge in luxuries now at the expense of our progress. The philosopher Du Bois may find a place among the people whom he loves so much, the great white race, because he can live in the atmosphere for which he trains himself. That atmosphere he will not find among Negroes of progressive intelligence. To us, moderns of the Negro race, we are not so much interested in the philosophies of Socrates or Plato as the "learned" doctor desires to impose upon us, but we are interested more in the philosophy of human needs. We are interested in the philosophy of feeding hungry men. We want, therefore, not so much the "literary philosopher" as the industrial philosopher. We want our Bismarcks, our Hugo Stinneses, our John D. Rockefellers, our Carnegies, our Henry Fords. Among us Negroes such men are worth ten million Du Boises, because they are men who produce not renows who consume, as the learned doctor. Industrial Leaders Coming So our convention for 1924 will bring to us industrial leaders who will naturally lay the foundation for the stronger and more secure Negro industrialism. With such leaders we will march on until we have successfully built up the world industrialism that shall not fail to bring all else with it. It is not so much our politics and our society as our industry. After a people have established successfully a firm industrial foundation, they naturally turn to politics and society, but not first to society and politics, because the two latter cannot exist without the former. So, instead of the conceited, self-important Negroes trying to think that they are socially better than any one else, and remaining in that farcical attitude, it is best that we all come to the one level and realize that our first duty is to get together and build a race that will appreciate itself, but not assume to be distinctive when there is no distinction. Members of the Race Should Help As members of the race, we are going to work everywhere to help make this convention a glowing success. Everybody can do it, and especially if everybody will contribute to the Convention Fund. Why shouldn't every Negro give $1, $2, $5 or $10 to the Convention Fund of the Association for 1924 and make it the biggest thing ever held? The Association needs money to push through its program, and now the call is made for each and every one interested to respond. Yea, we appeal to you all over the world. Let our appeal not fall to the ground. Let us put it over. With very best wishes, I have the honor to be Your obedient servant. UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION. GARY, IND., May 13, 1924. P. S.—Chapters, Divisions and members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association everywhere are urgently requested now to prepare, more than ever, for the forthcoming International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World. Get financial with your local Chapter and Division and pay up your annual tax which became due from the 1st of January, 1924, and get on the right side. Divisions and Chapters will only be recognized at the convention when they become financial with the Parent Body. Members will see that their Divisions and Chapters are financial. Americans are all immigrants and pass the red Indians, and if the anthropologists be right, even their migrated from Asia. There is no American race; there is not even the established claim of centuries to plead the primary right of any one stock. Missouri were the first whites to spy out our adjj; in Italian, selling under a Mishnah flag, rediscovered the con- tinued to which another Italian gave his name. Parts of our present coast line were first settled by Spaniards, plants by Frenchmen, parts by Dutch- men, and parts by Englishmen; German and Scandinavians first developed great areas of the interior. Of all our state names, only thirteen are of English origin; five are Spanish, three French, and the rest Islads. Whence came this myth that our country is the private property of some one racial stock? Whence come the arrogant an- sumptions, of those who, like the chair- man of the House Committee on Im- piration, want to preserve a 'racial homogeneity' which has never existed? Some extraordinary figures recently protected to the House of Representatives by one of its ablest new members. Meyer Jacobstein of Rochester, N. Y., are worth quoting: The percentage of foreign-born in the entire country today is exactly the same as it was in Lincoln's time. In 1800, the year Abraham Lincoln was elected, 47 per cent of the residents of New York City were foreign-born. Today only 28 per cent of that great city's population is foreign-born. When Lincoln took office 30 per cent of the residents of all American cities of 100,000 population and over were of alien birth; today only 24 per cent of the population of cities of 100,000 or over are not native born. You contend that the present foreign element is less desirable than that of forty, fifty, sixty years ago. I call your attention to a report made to the House by a select Congressional committee in 1835. It charged that the country is being brought with the entrance of the jails. Europe." It appeared that at the time the jail of the capital were filled with these foreign-born people. It described them as 'the most idle and vicious clauses, in personal appearance most offensive and loathsome.' "But who were these 'offensive and loathsome paupers and criminals?' Why, they were the scrappy Irishmen and Germans and British whose children today fear the influx of new 'foreign hordes.'" The war roused nationalist passions and hates long forgotten in America. We had given up the unpleasant habit of denouncing all foreign stocks; we were too conscious that we were all foreigners a few generations back. We were proud of the welcoming gesture of the Statue of Liberty; we hailed the simile of the "melting-pot" and believed that out of the amalgam of the races and the cultures of the world we were building something new, something greater than any of the races or civilizations of Europe. Perhaps we may still win back to that traditional Americanism and away from the medieval exclusionism of the proposed immigration bill. The old artificial difficulties in travel were rapidly vanishing before the war. One no longer had to procure a permit or pay a toll at every bridge or river-crossing, at every boundary-line and frontier. The amalgamating current of history and science—steamships and railroads, telegraph and telephone—seemed to be binding all the world together. In 1914 a man travelled without a passport from Punta Arenas to the Russian border. Only a few of the most backward countries on earth retained that anachronistic requirement. Today restrictions on free movement are everywhere; we are in the Middle Ages, and the United States is leading the backward movement. It is a tragic thing that this country, built on the sweat and aspirations of immigrants, should so soon be fencing (Continued on page 6) Genuine BAYER ASPIRIN INSTI!

Allep of Monserrat in His Generous Efforts to Serve His Race By J. MILTON STEBER Editor the Dominican Guardia A case of extreme hardship, which should be of considerable importance to readers of The Negro World, but in particular members of the Negro race, wherever found, is that of my friend, fellow colonist and esteemed colleague, Mr. James T. Allen of Monserrat. This gentleman, who is a large lapped proprietor of the place, was, for some years, the proprietor and editor of "The Monserrat Herald," a little paper which did yeoman service— In the cause that lacks assistance And the wrong that needs resistance. To the little Monserrat colony in New York, whether individually or collectively, Mr. Allen's painful experiences should not fail to evoke genuine sympathy. The history in this connection which I could unfold is as long as it is painful, but tI fear trespassing too much on your valuable space, so I will endeavor to be as brief as I possibly can. Mr. Allen is one of our stalwart Negroes who has fought for his country and people as none other before him has done in these parts. A man of considerable intelligence, both as a scholar and otherwise, he had no sooner felt the many disadvantages and grave disabilities which the common people, all Negroes, of his little island home were laboring under than he thought incumbent on him to give them his protection. A gifted penman and plucky and courageous Negro, he made use of that little weapon which wicked men fear ever so much more than they do the thin edge of the sturge. And I may here add that the Negroes' knowledge of the Marsh laws also stood him a very good stead all along the line. In Friendlier Days At the onset of Mr. Allen's career he must have commanded the respect of the higher authorities to a considerable extent; hence, we found his patriotism supported by the general government, who accepted the offer of his services to attend the cotton conference held in England some years ago as the official representative of the Leeward Islands colony. He stood all the expenses of this most important mission. But, lo! only a short white after, my friend fell into the bad graces of the powers that be. And THE CALL OF RACE CONSCIOUS SPIRIT It Reaches Out of the Dead Ages and Beckons Us to Higher and Better Things To The Editor of The Negro World: Across the world like a sigh of winds awakened, none knows how or why or whence, comes this new call. Per- chance it was birthed in the thunders that shook the earth a few years ago; perchance it is one of those mystic reactions which God, in his divine providence, brought forth from the almonds of time upon a sin-cursed world. It is a call sounded a thousand times in a thousand different ways and places, and by millions of different voices. It is a call that has become the soul of song, story and verse. It is a call to the black race to reclaim the glorious heritage of pride and intellect and spirit which the past has held for them. Long have these black people dreamed that some uncharted path of earth might some day open to them and that they might find their way, without the bruising of feet and the torturing of soul. Hate and alien tradition placed upon their brow the curse of Calm, upon their minds the chains of ignorance and upon their shoulders lay the burdens of the world. But even to the oppressed there is never a star lost that did not rise again afar off, Time left a fragment of a dream in their aching hearts and racial love noirished a passion in their blood. They were bereft of visipns, but amidst their eternal wonderings crept glimpses of burred, but not forgotten glories of the fathers that made the black race what it was when the world was young. The white man's history is a tangled coll of charged electric wire, dangerous to touch, and his teaching a slumberous anodyne. But truth has tugged at the bruised and broken parts and facts are growing where expectation never breathed. Time is turning the tide in their favor. Why not take care of the advantage are too late? Faith and hope, assisted by useful work, will dispel the darkness. No face ever rose to power that did not love itself; no race can ever be itself that has no pride of race. CHESTERFIELD NILES. 120 Johnson street. Brooklyn. N. Y. Accuse Garveyism of Responsibility for Unrest Readily Traceable to the Bad Wage Conditions and Bad Government MR. WICKHAM'S OPINION The Demerara Chronicle of April 4 gives the following account, in part, of the fatal laboring rioting, which resulted in the death of ten people and the wounding of many: "Not since the riots of December 1905, has there been enacted locally so dreadful a scene as that which occurred at Rutkveldt shortly before mid-day yesterday—the fourth day of the labor unrest in the colony—when a mob of approximately 4,000 country folk, from various estates on the East Bank, who were marching towards the city, clashed with the military outposts stationed at River View Bridge, with the result that they were fired on by the police and sustained casualties numbering ten-dead and several wounded, only 17 of whom, however, were sent off to the Public Hospital Georgetown. "A little before 9 o'clock, word was received in the city from the police stations on the East Band that crowds of people from various estates there had banded themselves together and, armed with sticks; were again (as on Wednesday afternoon) on a march to the city. Reinforcements were rushed up to River View Bridge from headquarters, and the military cordon at that spot, considerably strengthened, awaited the arrival of the countryfolk. These arrived between 9:30 and 10 a.m. on the public road at Rulmveld, and the police were drawn up across the roadway there to block their onward march. The officers mentioned above approached the people and intimated to them that a state of martial law existed in Georgetown, and therefore a crowd of that size could not be allowed to enter the city. This information was greeted with cries. We want to see Crossby! We want to see Crossby! We are going to Critchlow! We want more money; and we must get it! The police refused to allow the mob to pass, and a parley ensued. The labor unrest which started in the city on Monday last had spread to some of the sugar estates on the East Bank. Laborers of Pins Providence and Farm on Wednesday marched on Pin Diamond and compelled employees to cease work. The presence of His Worship, Mr. C. H. E. Legge, and an armed guard, however, caused them to retrace their steps and return homeward and abandon their ultimate object—a visit to the city to interview Mr. Chirchlow. It is interesting to note that some of these malcontents attempted to disturb the peace and harmony of Pin Houton, but the employees, satisfied with conditions on the estate, stuck to their guns. The military authorities scented trouble, and early yesterday morning a guard, consisting of several infantry and mounted policemen, together with a squad of special constables and a detachment of artillerymen (with a machine gun) and a few infantry militiamen under Staff Captain Ramay, MC, (adjustment of the local forces). County Inspector Monland and Captain Sarle were posted at River View Bridge to maintain order and prevent mobs or bands from the country districts on the East Bank attempting to enter the city which was, and still is, under martial law. Commenting on the unfortunate labor robbing in Democracia and the general udrest of the laboring people in the West Indies, Mr. Clemnell W. Wickham, writing in the Babados Weekly Herald of April 12, says: For people do not riot without cause. It is all well to say 'they are mised by rogues and imposters. But there must be something for the rogues and imposters to point at. For ages men have been proaching addition in England; the English people have up to now refused to rise against the aristocracy, and they may never rise. Why? Because the treatment the English masses have received has not been as a general rule of the kind to make them thirsty for the blood of their richer folk. On the other hand, how quickly can a mob he got to do anything in Ireland. The "imposter" will get a hearing if the employee and the ruler provide the audience. Let the people be treated fairly and we can afford to snap our fingern at all the Bolshevism in the world. But if we rely on the volunteer force for the pound of cure instead of using the ounce of prevention, what fool we are! But the Demerara business is most sad and tragic. And who knows what the effect will be? I have a fairly firm opinion about some of the people, at any rate, who have been stirring up strife in that colony for a long time. There are people there who are always unseranging, at the common people, decrying their efforts toward bettering them, calling them Garvayesims every time they try to unite together for mutual uplift, and calling Garvayism the sum of all, wickedness in the world. This sort of thing maddens a people; it includes them to hatred, more effectively than any amount of propaganda can do. It makes them feel there is no virtue in being hostet, upright and indoors. and. If the most straight-forward and constitutional move is to be braced as the work of the gutter, then there is no use trying to be constitution. They feel that it is the settled policy of certain people to keep them under forever. And the impulse to good citizenship is lost. That is my private opinion. And I hope that Barbados will worthily follow England's lead and put no obstacle of any kind in the way of people uniting together. We may be sure they will not plot treason if they are let alone. In England, there, are all kinds of societies; every sort and condition of fanatic rallies at the street corners against King, lords and commons. Nobody is arrested. People take a good natured view of their activity and refuse to furnish them with real cause for hatred. And what is the result. Although England is the dumping ground for all the anarchists and international plotters of Europe, there is no country in the world where the ruling class is safer from physical interference. We want to learn this in the West Indies and in British Gulana. There is nothing which breeds class hatred, faster than the repression of a man's right to let off steam at times, and the stubborn refusal to listen and hearken to him. I hope the other West Indian colonies will profit by Demerger's example, and be more ready in the future to correct lilies when the people begin to grumble about them. Paul Robeson Climbs the Giddy Heights as Ira Aldridge in Other Days and Charles Gilpin. THE EMPEROR JONES SIR By ALEXANDER WOOLLCOTT In the New York Sun The whirligig of the theatre has brought suddenly and unexpectedly around a fresh opportunity for one and all to see that extraordinary play by Eugene O'Nelll, which is called "The Emperor Jones." Those to whom that title is only an odd and provocative name will find behind it in Macdougal street a singularly stirring play-wrought out of unshop-worn materials with a leaping imagination. Those to whom that play is already familiar will find it revived now with a greater guile and a fresher invention in production and they will see a superb performance in the role that was Charles Gilpin's when the play was new. For it was into the gap left in the Provincetown town by the enforced postponement of "All God's Chillium Got, Wings" that the Macduogal street tripmvirate thrust suddenly this new production of an old favorite—snapchatting happily at the chance to show us all how fine an actor was this Paul Robeson at the mere proposal of whose appearance in the later O'Neill play a whole continent crowded with silly people went audibly mad. It was a canny and a successful demonstration and one who admired exceedingly the performance that Glipin gave as Brutus Jones now rises in meeting to say that it was not so fine a performance as that which the stalwart and magnificently equipped Robeson gave last night at the Provincetown. For Robeson adds to his extraordinary physique a shrewd, rich appearance of the role and a voice that is unmatched in the American theatre. This glinky giant unleashed a great play provides the kind of evening in the theatre that you remember all your life. The scribe who serves as chronicle of the stage is who serves too timorous in his use of that highly indemnite adjective. The enviable man in the street can lightly and freely oust thus "Gee, that was a great show!" But your chronic dramatic critic has the vapor at the thought of parting with so lavish an adjective and is like to do with the word never spoken. Yet, surely if there is any American play of our time which does not rite around uncomfortably in the word "great" it is "The Emperor Jones." And when so authentic, no hold and so imaginative a work is produced with such sweep and vitality it is at once the duty and the rich privilege of the scribes to mount the stool in front of its theatre and beat the drum for all they are worth. To be sure, such bally-hoo seems to be unnecessary in this instance. A. over New York last evening there were empty seats like gaps in a batters' and toothless comb, but at "The Emperor Jones" earnest drama lover did hot battle with one another in their struggle for standing room. It is well. Hobbes brings to the play a more primitive strength, a broader stroke of tone and gesture, a greater tumult of the immemorial fears which this voodoo play invokes, from the deeps. Then he is backed up by a more carefully wrought production, with.Charles Ellis excellent as the jackal Smithers and with, certain of the scenes—notably that of the crap shooting specter and that of the ghostly slave market—produced now with a suave and a more ingenious stagecraft, than was vouch-safed the play when it was new and nervous in Macduogal street three years ago. It was a pleasure to see "The Emperor Jones" again and especially was it a pleasure to stumble once more on one of our favorite speeches in all dragonage literature. That is the reflection the tired but jovial and still frenetic emperor makes when he sits down for DR. DU BOIS RETURNS TO US REALLY CRAZY Thinks Others Are Because He Is and Jumps on Everybody and Everything Like a Bull in a China Shop From the Pittsburgh Courier For five months Dr. Du Bois was away from, these United States informing himself on Africa and the interests of the darker peoples. He returned to the home country some few weeks ago, accepted a banquet in his honor, and then set out to tell us what "terrible" things we have done during his absence. The official organ of the N. A. A. C. P. is the Crisis. Dr. Du Bols is supposed to somewhat supplement the work of the organization by what he says in the Crisis. He is expected, at least, to give publicity to the N. A. A. C. P. program, and to propagate the organization Idea. We cannot agree that he is devoting much attention to supplementing the work of the secretary of the organization. Indeed, we think James Weldon Johnson made more progress in his struggle for a larger organization while Du Bols was in Africa than has been made since the organization assumed its place as an advancement agency. An example of the Du Bois antagonism: The first issue of the Crisis after the return of its editor carries a bold statement of fact, without any qualification, that the Sanhedrin did nothing; that the "Negro Press Association" has issued a silly statement on organized labor; that Garvey is a lunatic and a traitor. This is about the extent of "opinion" for the May issue of the Crisis. Not a line of constructive suggestion to be found. Even Mr. Burleigh suffers for want of sufficient space to tell us of his achievement, as a musician. Tanner fures a little "better, but; Mr. Tanner is a Frenchman, and Du Bois is crazy about the "other fellow." Anybody but the Negro in America. Not a photograph published in the Crisis tending to show the attails attended by Du Bois while in Africa carries a picture of Du Bois. He is studiously "out of every picture." As dumb as Du Bois says we are, we have sense enough to notice his absence from every picture. We draw our own conclusions. Does James Weldon Johnson expect the members of the Sanhedrin to support the N. A. A. C. P. while Du Bols denounces the Sanhedrin as doing nothing! Does James Weldon Johnson expect his personal friends to give his efforts publicity while Du Bols uses the Crisis to criticize and minimize the importance and value of other agencies? Can Mr. Johnson expect of the "Negro Press Association" any publicity; any money, any moral support while Du Bols describes the organization as silly? Does Mr. Johnson expect a single Garvey follower to cultivate respect for the N. A. A. C. P. while the official organ refers to Garvey as a traitor and a lunatic? It may be that Garvey is crazy. It may be that he is a traitor. We doubt it more now than ever, since the Du Bols trade. But does not Du Bols, a man of education, know that we have arrived where we are today through evolution of one kind or another? Give us a chance. We will see the light in time. We cannot be rushed from one extreme to another. We cannot survive the transition if it is made too sudden. Do Bills should try to help, and not feel too big to help. He will some day learn to help, or he will find himself on the side lines. We need help not hindrance.

MASS MEETING In Inspiring Address Mrs. Naidu Bids Negroes Be Proud of Their Black Skin —Praises African Courage and Chivalry—Says Christ Was Not White, but Colored —Urges Africans to Stand by Leader, Marcus Garvey, and Uphold Principles of U. N. I. A. When Mrs. Sarojina Naidue, M. A., and Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, reached Cape Town, South Africa, March 19, the following address was delivered to her by the four divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association: Dear Madam: We, the undersigned officers of the combined divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, do hereby extend to you a hearty welcome in our midst, and assure you of our great appreciation of the noble work you have undertaken on behalf of your compatriots, resident in the Union of South Africa. Knowing that whatever measure of success may be achieved through your Indefatigable efforts will not only redound to the amelioration of the sufferings of the Indian community, but will also tend to improve the status of the black population of this sub-continent. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, being an association striving for the manhood rights of the African at home and abroad, does hereby pledge its sympathy with the noble cause with which you are identified. We sincerely trust that your mission to South Africa will be crowned with unbounded success, and may God grant you health and long life to carry out the good work so nobly begun. And, on return to your native home, you will have taken from South Africa pleasant memories of this, our, Motherland. We have the honor to be, dear madam, yours, W. O. Jackson, president, Cape Town division; H. S. Davids, president, Goodwood division; J. Herbert, president, Cluremont division; M. E. G. Johnson, president, Woodstock division. This address was given at a public meeting in the City Hall, Cape Town, convened by the Indian Community; to welcome Mrs. Sarophia Naidu, Indian patriot and poetess. U. N. I. A. Meeting in Cape Town Mrs. Naidu addressed the Cape Town divisions of the Universal Negro Im- provement Association at the Nati- onal Theatre, March 31, the following report of which has just reached the Negro World: Sunday, March 30, was a red letter day in the annuals of the Capetown division of the association, when hundreds of people in the city and from the surrounding suburbs flocked to the National Theatre, William street, to see and hear the most distinguished woman of any race that ever set foot on the shores of South Africa. Long before 3 o'clock, the time fixed to commence, large crowds besieged the closed doors and stood speculating on the good time they had come to have. The doors were opened at 2:30 p.m. and was a very short while the hall was filled to capacity. Seated on the platform were the president, W. O. Jackson; members of the executive council, members of the Cape Indian Council and many other members of the Indian community. W. B. Chaswell, treasurer, had charge of the musical program. At 3:45 our distinguished visitor arrived, and was escorted to the platform by the president, almost thunderous cheering and chapping of hands. The meeting was immediately opened by the singing of the ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains," the president reciting the universal prayer. After formally announcing the visitor, Mrs. Sarojin, the president gave a very forceful and masterly exposition of the slims and objects of the association, which has been so wickedly misrepresented by its enemies. The meeting was, then turned over to the master of ceremonies to carry on the musical part of the program, which was as follow: Anthem, "The Lord Is Good," choir; piano, solo Mrs. J. Thomas; song, "Friend o' Mine," Mr. Jacobs; short address, J. Gremb (honorary advisory board); song, "Rose of Pleardy," Mr. Van der Byl; song, "Vivar of Bray," Mr. Gilbert. Address of Hon. Marcus Garvey on return to United States from the West Indies and Central America, rendered on gramophone; presentation of flowers to distinguished visitor by Miss Fraser; song, "Load, Kindly Light," Mr. Petru; anthem, "The Lord is King," choir. The president, W. O Jackson, with some very fitting remarks, then introduced the guest of the afternoon, Mrs. Borolini Naidu, who, on rising, received a great ovation, lasting several seconds. MRS.

I have also thoroughly enjoyed the on the musical program. I want to let you know, friends, that I have not come to South Africa in the interest of my countrymen only, to fight against the Class Areas' Bill, now under discussion in parliament, but I feel it my duty, also, to assist the Africans. (Applause). From the time I set foot on the shores of Africa and saw the condition of the natives I felt I owed a duty not to my people alone but to the native peoples of Africa.

In East Africa the natives were so enthused over the message I gave them that they called me Mama Akell, and whenever I went they would shout Mama 'kill' come speak to us.

Remember that, African from the land of Ab, as was chosen to call Mumu, to pop over fifteen hundred years, so; therefore, the Africans, allotted to the children of the world today, have a past history to be proud of. I would appeal to you to cultivate those non-characters which are more precious than gold or diamonds, and remember that if you are even dressed in latest the life of European men, you are no better than your less intimate brother in the forest, with the skin of wild animals as his clothing; are just the same for whatever affects him; he affects you.

In all of these move- ments the Negro is expected to accept as little of justice and fair | play as he can get along with and the white man is expected to J yield as little of these as he is compelled to. * But the white people who are engaged in organized efforts to bring ‘about better relations between the races should not be con- founded with the politicians and employers and exploiters of labor and the preachers who are silent when ‘great wrongs are festering under their noses, and who preach to the pocketbooks rather than to the souls of those who occupy: the pews. We belicve that most of the white people of the South who are engaged in promoting better relations between the races are sincere and honest and self- sacrificing, and deserve all of the support we can give them. Theirs isan ungracious task, to say the Ieast. They do not’ expect the ‘blacks to yield everything oF justice and fair play in the effort to secure better race relations while the whites yield iothing. “The new Governor of Mississippi is a broad, fair-minded man, in his inaugural address he pleaded with the people of his State to treat their Negro fellow-citizens justly and fairly. Soon after his plea a delegation of ‘intelligent and influential Negroes appeared before the Legislature and made an earnest plea for ‘reform of certain grievances and for justice and faif play. After mature deliberation the Legislature turned fheir pleg and that of the Governor to the wall, They rebuked them and denied their plea. At the fifty-sixth anniversary exercises of Hampton Institute] Governor E. Lee ‘linkle of Virginia made a strong plea for justice and fair play for his Negro fellow-citizens. “1 am for secing that justice is done and a square deal meted out, under every condition and every cifcumstance.” That-is the way the Hampton News Service réleised Governor Tinkle’s talk, There is nothing to indi- caté that the Governor went in the air and said things he should not and shocked the students and a hundred or more Northern visitors who heard him, A reporter for the Norfolk Journal and Guide was present, however, and says: "The Governor started his address in a felicitous manner and was greeted with an ovation befitting the chief executive of the State. After he had been talking a few minutes he suddenly exclaimed that he ‘did not wish to be misunderstood.’ He was ‘a Southern white man,’ ‘he said, and believed that ‘God ereatrd me to fill one sphere and the Negro another.’ Following this with an assertion ‘that he did not believe God intended the Negro to ‘cross the line of demarcation and come to the white man’s level.” He had pre- viously remarked that ‘any one who considered himself better than another was:a focl.’" One of the most perplexing queers in buneu life is that so many’ small men manage t get into such large places of responsibility and honor, ‘The liberal policy in educational appropriations for Negro schools, emphasized by Governor ‘Tinkle, are paid out of the taxation levied upon the Negro workers, consumers and land owners of Virginia, and the Govérnor knows it. ‘The same Legisla- ture witch made the appropriations also enacted -legislation which aims te draw more finely the artic distinctions between the white and black people of Virginia, which has no warrant in the Constitution ef the United Stites. 7 What the white Sony wants to do is to broaden its viewpoint on the relitions of the races. ‘That viewpoint is defined by the Constitution of the United States, and cannot be restricted by the Legian? of Virginia and is not measured hy Governor ‘Tinkle’s interpretation of justice andsa square deal “We are reasonably | es EDITORIAL OPINIONS OF THE NEGRO PRESS P Teased and ediesed at the highest toargls cand caspat flere ef atwane how te appreriste hie tsterds oa daimn Isis enemies, Hee dues net care whether the predtutived recwzuize his Diwsence ar net. we te mts the rhzhts and privileges eC eopal mpin “harity to de canid tos dare, He Ieee thassangtey Iosenod that. deapoteetie tet that seine peowle bath chia oat act tert there fo ce monepaly oan, been aed ts ree quttant attenuates 7S ampwavebent, Progress aad adsaiement thar “alt ingen sire created free cand cam ak and hip whiner ty fife bo the neem nt the Welle amd cultivation he pats an the enerey atl detertnnation te makes fo change and ineprave his condition t.

For the world is divided as to the value of the individual inheritance passed on from fathers to sons, for in more cases than any of us care to count, the sons, not knowing how hard the fathers had to work in order to accumulate the inheritance, have not known the value of the heritage; and many times it has been squandered by irresponsible, easy-going children, and often turned over into other hands who knew not the original founders. Our race is just beginning to receive inheritances of large amounts from individual ancestors. But we have in the African Methodist church a spiritual and social heritage far greater than any individual inheritance that has passed down from father to son. We of this generation, have an inheritance of $20,000,000 worth of property, which is a slow accumulation begun with the purchase of the blackamish shop in Philadelphia in 1794 by Richard Allen. We have, with their excellences and defects, the best system of schools which any organization of color operates, having hundreds of teachers, and thousands of scholars, and wielding an incalculable influence in their communities. We have a yearly income of more than $4,000,000 paid to our ministry kind for the upkeep of our church. This could not possibly have been accumulated in this generation. Our bishops are receiving good salaries in the church founded by Richard Allen, who as a bishop, never received as much in a year as one of our bishops receives in a month. No bishop on the bench, if he had not received this inheritance, could have had the honor, dignity or emoluments which he now has. We have general officers, including the editor of the Christian Recorder, whose positions could never have been created by themselves, but are the growth of years of inheritance of the fathers. There are large pulpits in which eloquent preachers serve, but not one in fifty of these preachers could have created in his life time that church with its prestige and power. He has the heritage of the fathers. Whether it be Mother Bethel in Philadelphia, Big Bethel in Atlanta, Metropolitan in Washington, St. Paul in St. Louis, or any one of thousands of others, we are what we are because of the heritage of the past. Not only did our fathers hand us down the material organization which we enjoy, but there is a peculiar AF- storm devastated upon which his life would end. He sought where the hope would find. The Allan married on 21 St. George's Church until today—the spirit of all respect, and a sense of hope in his 100th anniversary. In his life he had and loved his beloved daughter, whom he loved, and with whom he have contributed to make the world a better. What shall we do with this horticulture in the question. We do not hesitate to answer this question. We shall pass it back, increased and improved, to our children, so that they may be able to feel toward us as we feel toward our fathers, a sense of gratitude for their quailish labor. We must create in this generation that which will put our stamp upon our organization, so that people may know that it passed through our hands. That stamp must be a stamp of improvement and ennoblement. In many organizations there comes a time of stagnation, deterioration and sometimes debasement. Those who study history of the church know that it had its "Dark Ages," just as the LET'S PUT IT OVER secular civilization about it had; when men were more interested in getting office than doing service; more interested in having titles than honor; more interested in self advancement than advancement of the kingdom; when offices were sought for gold, and when the women of mystery sat behind the throne and pulled the wires of power. The church has known these sad days, and many of the governments of the earth have known them. Only revolution or reform has saved the church. So we read history. Fortunately the African Methodist Church has not come upon such bad days. We have not yet had a reaction from the spirit of Allen. The forces of corruption have not yet had a strangle hold upon our church, as they have had upon other organizations, religious and secular. There are those who think we are nearing the edge. We believe that the strength of our heritage is such that we may ward off any impending calamity. God has always had a remnant among his chosen people. And so today we do not stand in fear that we shall go downward. We believe that the more we-think of li, the more we are convinced that ours is a great heritage which we must preserve and improve. There is not one chance in ten that our church will be ruled by politicians or that corrupt men shall control it. There are hundreds of men who are going to follow the Bible and their consciences, and going to preserve our heritage. African Methodism has a peculiar psychology; in that, no matter what may be our differences, at the proper time we rise to the occasion and settle them. Detroit leads all other cities in the number of colored iron molders, founders and easter, and is followed in the order named by Chicago, Cleveland, Indianapolis and Birmingham. (From the Norfolk Journal and Guide) "It is worth while to have a President who sees clearly the needs of the people and keeps his head clear and his courage unimpaired while partisan politicians would compromise the national honor abroad and squander the people's resources at home, as they do, who would stir up strife with Japan and Asia and who would spend public monies in ways not comprehended in the budget based upon the needs of the government economically administered. In his address to the members of the Associated Press and their guests, in New York, Tuesday of last week, President Coolidge placed himself on record as being committed to the principles of service, service to home and country, honesty in dealing with others and economy in the expenditure of the people's money. On this vital question of service, which appeals to each of us in our personal relations as well as in our relations to the government, President Coolidge said: "The principle of service is not to be confounded with a weak and impractical sentimentalism. It does not mean that either the individual or the nation is to assume the burdens which ought to be borne by others. It is warranted in considering self to the extent of recognizing that it is justifiable to accumulate and hold the resources which must necessarily be used to serve ourselves, our own household and our own nation. But it does not stop there. It recognizes also the necessity of serving others, and when the need arises for meeting a moral requirement, of making individual and national sacrifices sufficient to maintain the cause of righteousness:" Again, the President said: "Teils for us and now to keep in the right direction—to remain constant to the right ideals." Again: "The danger to America is not in the direction of the failure to maintain its economic position, but in the direction of the failure to maintain its ideals." We have a grand country and a grand people, but they can only remain so and grow in grace by constant practice of the principles of service, industry and thrift in the person and the government, and in sustaining in our dealings with ourselves and our relations with others the high ideals of the republic, with thoughtful recognition of the privileges and immunities of others with ourselves in all that makes for citizenship and neighborliness. —Word comes that Hon.

Moncorvus is not altogether an out-of-the-way place, but having in his local executive chief an official who is a sort of "jack-of-all" one could all imagine the frequency with which what is often described as abuse of power on the part of petty officials "dressed in brief authority" occurred in that little presidency. Today it was a petty police officer exceeding the limits of his powers; the next day it was a road overseer or inspector at ducks and drags, to the detriment of the taxpayers' interests; again it was a crown law officer aiming his ignorance of the law at the expense of the liberty of His Majesty's humble subjects; then there would be a "green" magistrate exhibiting his crass ignorance on the bench, who was moreover the commissioner (administrator) and, as I said before, a sort of monarch of all he surveys, albeit he may be a big ignorantus and not infrequently the victim of cliquism. Not even the Judge, going there on circuit, is immune. So here we have both the King's good name, the high principles of the British Constitution, the Englishman's Bill of Rights—the glorious Magna Charta — being ruthlessly trampled upon by petty public servants in these small British possessions who, dressed in a little brief authority; An Unpopular Governor Now it so happened that, some time in 1910-13, the then Governor, Sir Bickham Sweet Escott, one of the biggest hypocrites who was ever sent out by the colonial office to govern the Leeward Islands, would not admit of the freedom of the press in these parts as exercised by Mr. Allen as editor of The Monserrat Herald, and your humble servant, this writer, as editor of The Dominica Guardian. We were considered too free in our criticisms of his malevolent administration and the mindeds of his hirelings, and this petty despot thought fit to enact laws for the gagging of the local press, which, with the votes of his officials and certain gubernatorial barnacle he got passed into the local council of the different presidencies of the colony. In this connection, we gave the Governor some very hard knocks, but in these small colonies "Might Is Right." Sir Bickham evidently hated Mr. Allen for his "high cheeks," and worked his revenge upon that gentleman in a most vindictive and unworthy manner for one holding the high position of His Majesty's representative. Eventually, Sir Bickham left the colony the most exerced Governor who ever left its shores. His cruel persecution of my friend constitutes a chapter too long to complete, therefore I pass over them here. But, most importantly for Mr. Allen, his troubles did not end with the exit of His Excellency. Bigger ones were to follow. The proprietor of some five or six thousand acres of excellent lands at the northern end of Monserrat, Mr. Allen, after the forced closing up of his paper, betook himself to improve and develop his properties, which have now become the cynosure of envious and coveting eyes, albeit the HILLIARD R. PHELPS, of Graymont, Ga., is suing his wife, Lillie Mie Phelps, for a divorce. His lawyers are Gayson S. Powell and C. Powell. (Signed) H. R. PHELPS. admiration of all unbiased visitors to the place. By dirt of Industry, and perseverance he has erected what is certainly the finest sugar factory hereabout, and there is also a splendid machinery for the ginning of cotton, for which crop the soil is also most suitably adapted. Mr. Allen has also been going in largely for subsidiary industries, such as coconuts, bananas, nutlings, etc. Indeed, his prospects are excellent, all but for some financial embarrassment of a temporary kind which his friends hope to see him get the better of soon. His activities are worthy not only of emulation, but also, and more so, of every encouragement. But my friend is a Negro, and those white residents who would make his island home a happy hunting ground for themselves and their families—many of them after having failed to make good in their own homeland—have to all appearances, combined to ruin and crush him. They will not have him to make good in the land of his birth. Forced to the Wall Through failure of his crops on the one hand, and the heavy fall in prices on the other, Mr. Allen became hard pressed for ready money. In this, it may be that he fell into "good company," since it has been the order of the day with most planters hereabout of late. Like others he had recourse to the Royal Bank of Canada for relief, but, owing to circumstances over which he had no control—low prices for his crops in particular—he has not been able to meet this liability. Then send birth date those who covet his properties and envy his success are making every effort to get the "screw" put tighter on him. He is nevertheless fighting a game battle, but the sinnes of war are wanted with which to get the top of his enemies. His is a case which requires to be known both for the stern lessons which it reads and as a means of securing for him the practical sympathy of his fellow countrymen and other West Indian-readers of The Negro World. I close this article by subscribing myself a close friend of that highly esteemed gentleman, and an ardent believer that in the end, justice will prevail in his case.

While we bar human beings from our shores we build makes, countries into granting American capital privileges alien to their national interests. We force Mexico to revise its oil laws, tell China how to use its customs, ask Russia to reconsider its view of private property, and everywhere proclaim the "open door"—for American capital—as an American policy. "Equal rights and opportunities, for capital, all over the world"—what a bitter slogan for America when a hungry peasant from South Italy, a persecuted Jew from Rumania an Armenian whose home is a heap of ashes finds the door to America slammed in his face! Two years ago we adopted an "emergency" percentage-restriction law, which allows the admission to any one year from any country of only 3 percent of the number of persons born in that country who were present in the United States in 1910.

This year an even worse bill has passed the House. It would admit only 2 per cent of the number of foreign-born persons present in 1890. That virtually bars Jewish, Italian, and Slavic immigration. It is a forthright attempt to establish racial exclusion. The Senate may make the quotas lower still. If Americans had still the national ideals of pro-war days, instead of a second-hand version of Old World nationalism, the Senate would demand a forward move to the LET'S PUT IT OVER census of 1920, and raise, instead of lowering, the present quotas. Even the original purpose of percentage restriction is lost. We are today excluding not merely Italians and Syrians and East Europeans, but Germans, Frenchmen, and Scandinavians. In the current year 1923-1924 all quotas except those for France, Ireland, and Estonia have been exhausted—yet they talk of still further exclusion! The unobblish standards of a country club or of a New England private preparatory school are being established as America's. More than that, the new bill makes unnecessary discriminations against the Japanese which can serve no purpose except to irritate that people.

I suffered as only those who are thus afflicted know, for over three years. I tried remedy after remedy, but such relief as I obtained was only temporary. Finally, I found a treatment that cured me completely and such a pitiful condition has never returned. I have given it to a number who were terribly afflicted, even bedridden, some of them seventy to eighty years old, and the results were the same as in my own case. I want every sufferer from any form of muscular and subacute (swelling at the joints) rheumatism to try the great value of my improved "Home Treatment" for its remarkable healing power.

Irvin C. Miller, who wrote the book of "Liza," still heads the large cast and supporting him in its comedy will be seen Billy Mills and Dee Dee Green, the rest of the cast contains such well known artists as Ethel Ridley, James Thomas, Aurora Greely, Bianche Thompson, Al Fenderson, Lidy Hollins, Lloyd Mitchell and a host of others, also the chorus of creole beauties, who have been noted for their fast dancing, both in individual and ensemble numbers. The musical score of the play has had many new songs added to its list and also many new comedy scenes have been incorporated into the play so that "Liza" is today bigger and better than ever. When "Liza" last appeared at the Lafayette Theatre many hundreds of people were turned away being unable to secure seats, as the house was sold out at every performance, so the management requests an early purchase PROMIN RACE M to VIGO METHODIST PASTOR GIVES THANKS FOR "REJUVENATION" Mississippi Preacher Tells How His Energy Was Restored REV. J. P. WATSON The Reverend J. P. Watson, greatly loved pastor of the Deer M. E. Church at Oxford, Mississippi, is giving thanks to God for his remarkable rejuvenation and quiet, rejoicing of his youthful years after he had endured a long period of suffering. Without going to the expense of a gland operation and after having spent considerable money without success in search of his strength, he says that he had about given us hope when one morning he read about a wonderful method that others had they were following with great success. He decided to give it a trial. Now he says, "Thanks he to God I did try it. It is the best ever used and it is a pleasure for me to recommend it to my suffering people." The method the Riverside Watson adopted was the recently discovered korex compound. He says that he secured it by writing direct to the American distributor of Kansas City, Missouri. IS SAVED FROM "LIVING DEATH" Misery Confined Buffalo Man Two Years—Now Vigorous Again Mr. A. Board, of Buffalo, New York, and one of the most active and vigorous citizens, also makes a similarly amazing report about a rapid recovery from premature old age and lack of vigor. For two years, Mr. Board had a misery that confined him to his bed most of the time, according to his own statement. "All my neighbors thought I would done cash in," is what he says about it. "I was so weak I could scarcely walk two blocks without being exhausted. I tried specialists and various treatments and finally lost all faith in medicine. I just about gave up hope, when I read about korex compound and what other sufferers said it was doing for them. So I tried. Be fore finishing the second box, I felt ready to go back to work. Today I am strong and vigorous. I am doing very heavy work, working from 10 to 12 hours a day, and haven't lost a day in nine weeks. That's what korex compound has done for me." Many who have felt themselves losing their hold on life, who felt old age coming on rapidly, and were generally coming to terms with it, who were seeking a corrective for an haunted glands and nerves, praise korax compound for its effect upon them. Anyone may try korax with a mollykid guarantee; by filling out of tickets so as not to be disappointed in seeing good seats.

S. A. meetings was staged at Trinity Baptist Church May 4, by Mr. S. Ovens, first vice-president of Neo Division, for the purpose of presenting the program of the organization to the people of that section. Beautiful cases were rendered by Mr. A. Lipscomb and Mrs. H. Torrell, after which the flooddale gave a welcome address, which was very timely and in order. N. C. Drew responded to the address and also acted as Master of Ceremonies, Mr. S. A. Ovens' address on "The Radical Negro" was in part as follows: Master of Cordovanies, ladies and gentlemen—As I stand before you this afternoon and look at the dial of the clock, I can surely state that at this present moment there are, thousands of Negroes standing on platforms somewhere throughout the various countries of the world, expounding the doctrine of the Universal Negro life government Association and pledging the racial unity for the benefit of a down-trodden people. There was a time when this Negro race was not taken notice of by any one because it was a most humble and peaceful race, and for that reason it became the burden bearer of the world. So the Negro kept on suffering, believing that some day some kind white man would take pity on him and relieve him of his troubles. This Negro who was brought to the Western Hemisphere as a slave lost all of his manhood when he left Africa; and he was not possessed with a radical spirit, because it takes a vallant-hearted man with red blood in his veins to be a radical. But, after returning from the battle fields of France and Flanders, the Negro stood four-square to the wind and told the world that he wanted long pants on, because he had now grown to be a man and did not care to be a boy any longer, and in order for him to accomplish certain things he had to be a radical, for the world today only takes notice of you when you get strong enough to knock somebody down. We have seen some Negroes who have a wishbone where their backbone ought to be, but it's the stairwart giants of the ages that accomplish things, so that's why we pay great tribute to Marcus Garvey and hall him as our leader, because he has stood the test, And just as Sir Roger Cusenment gave his life on an English gallows for a free and redeemed Ireland, and Macdoney fasted seventy-five days and became a martyr for the establishment of a free Irish Republic, even so that the Negroes are proud that Marcus Garvey went to the Tombs for the benefit of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and the Negro race at large. Through his sacrifices, his statismanship and ability, we firmly believe that some day he will accomplish his dreams, and establish somewhere a government for Negroes. Some people call Garvey a dreamer, but do you know who dreamers are? Dreamers are men who peer into unborn days and present such greatness to the world that elevates the present civilization that we enjoy. IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL DIVISIONS and CHAPTERS OF THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION, SPECIALLY 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, A. Brooks, and his associates, notably C. A. Reid, John Pilgrim, and Maud Betty, to cease operating in the name of the Association. We advise the public not to have anything to do with these people if they approach you posing as representatives of the U. N. I. A. PARENT BODY, 56 West 133th Street, New York City, April 4, 1921. I have seen in various papers where one member has bequeathed $100,000 to this organization, which proves that there are Negroes who long to see a free and redeemed Africa and willing to send her some of money to assemble this. The address was well received, after which Rev. L. K. W. Johnson, pastor of Trinity Baptist Church, was presented, who was to speak on the subject, "The Past Three Hundred Years and the Future Three Hundred Years of the American Negro." Dr. Johnson announced hat he had changed his mind as to this subject, and directed his hearers to read the 39th, 39th and 31st chapters of Enokiel. His words were of a general nature and gave his audience much food for thought. He stated that every nation turned homeward except the Negro. And he further stated that God moved in a mysterious way, and that we were only here, perhaps, to learn something, learn who God is; learn how to work in a more advantageous way, that we are getting busier all the while and soon we are going through the door and go home. In the next three hundred years we will be moving home; we will be sending ambassadors here to represent Africa. There will be monuments in Africa and other places of the world and they will be in the name of "Marcus Garvey." LET'S PUT IT OVER PRICHARD, ALABAMA To the Editor of The Negro World: To the Editor of the george world. Please reserve space in your paper for a few words pertaining to the Prichard Division, No. I. On Sunday, April 27, 1924, we assembled in a mass meeting. The house was called to order at 3 p.m. by the president, J. J. Thomas, who introduced the master of ceremonies, in the person of Mr. A. D. Brown. The chair then led in singing of the regular ode, after which we joined in the universal prayer. Next, Scripture lesson was read by the chapkin from Gen. 1st. The welcome address was rendered by Mrs. Altha F. Harris and the name was responded to by Mr. Bernard Anderson, a member of the Gulfport Division. Mr. J. J. Thomas, who was the next speaker, said that "There is nothing that makes my soul as happy as the privilege I have to participate in the Garvey movement." Our greatest struggle is to get the principals that he has laid before us, in the hearts of the masses of our people. Mr. J. D. Monday was introduced and spoke on the principle of the movement. Mr. Coleman said that the calling together of all Negroes and forming a government on the continent of Africa will be the only safe way to liberty, and liberty will give us a free access to all just functions in public life. The following speakers also delivered enthusiastic and inspiring addresses: Mrs. W. Edwards, Miss Annie Bell McGrue and Rev. William Phillips, the Bishop of the Salants; Mrs. Emley Clark, Rev. C. H. Davis, Rev. E. Edmondson and Prof. E. D. Reddix. The hall was packed to its capacity, with an eager throng who listened carefully to the several speakers in order to learn more about Garveyism. REV. W. S. EDWARDS, Reporter. REV. J. J. THOMAS, President. Wedding Belks in Camaguey, Cuba An enjoyable wedding was solemnized at the Roman Catholic Church in Ciego de Avilas April 20, when Miss Evelyna Morgan, from Kingstown, Jamaica, was joined in holy matrimony to Mr. Joseph King, a native of Barbados. The bride was neatly attired in a crepe de silk dress. The couple after spending an enjoyable time, motored to Jaguayal to spend their honeymoon. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 17, 1824 NOTICE TO DIVISIONS Prepare your articles with great care so as to be easily read and handled by all concerned with the printing—the editor, composer and proof- reader. On Easter day this division surpassed its previous efforts in the religious festival entitled, "The Rally of the Twelve Tribes of Israel." For many weeks the members and friends spoke of nothing else and when the hour arrived at 2:00 p. m. a crowd numbering several hundred packed the building and its immediate vicinity. The spectacle produced by the "Twelve Tribes" in their march to the hall will long be remembered. The chaplafn opened with the ode and prayer after which he introduced Mr. J. Burnett as chairman for the proceeding. At the same time he assumed the role of Jacob. and proceeded with the blessing of his sons. Reuben's tribe came marching in the hall with his sons behind, and presented the offering. then came Simpson, Levy Jadah, Zebulun, Issachar, Dan, Anas, Naphatt, Joseph, Gad, Benjamin in the above order. The competition was keen and interesting. The attendance showed great interest, and had we a hall twice the size there, still standing room. Of the twelve, tribes, Judah came first and Reuben second in the contributions. From the attendance one could see the true spirit of achievement and by this success we hope in the near future to have a liberty hall of our own in Banes. There were several songs and solos all of which were beautifully rendered. We have to thank the friends and visitors for the splendid contribution. It stands a record for local divisions. This made us feel as if we too had a Madison Square Garden in Banes, although the population of Negroes is very small. We have also to thank the Advisory Board for their interest displayed in staging a rally of this kind, which will go down in record for its success. We again congratulate the president, Mr. R. F. Blake, whom we find to be a faithful and a tactful leader and an able defender of the cause, Africa. His interest is of a high order which, if followed, will give our membership an intimate knowledge of the position we now occupy. Mass Meeting At 8:00 p. m. our regular mass meeting was called by the chaplain and was conducted in the usual manner. Mr. R. F. S. Blake, president, expressed his happiness and congratulations to the audience on behalf of the division for the great success achieved. The speaker said it makes a feel encouraged to carry on the work and, seeing the place we occupy in the world, we will have to do or die, as our journey will be over when we reach Africa. Then we should take off our hats to the red, the black, and the green. At this time four new members received their certificate. A short address by Mr. W. J. Minott, first vice-president. His topic was "Knowledge and Understanding." The program was very interesting and highly appreciated by the audience. Mr. Egbert Newton, the next speaker, also expressed his high appreciation at the support of the audience to the rally, and that he, at this time, was proud to be a Negro. The speaker continued: "Why seek ye the living among the dead," and referring to the resurrection of the Negro race, he said do not seek the Negro in the grave, for he is awakened. Mr. Bartlett, Mrs. Moodie and Mrs. Minott rendered some beautiful solos and duets. The announcements were made and the chaplain dismissed the meeting with hymn and prayer, also the national anthem. Carnival Monday. April 21 On Monday, April 21, the Convention Corps staged a carnival in aid of the delegate to the convention. We had costumes. Members of the corps dressed in different colors, according to the countries they represented. The countries were Africa, Japan, India, China, America and Cuba. Each country with their King and Queen as required. Again we could see the true spirit existing among so small a population. We have to thank our supporters for such united efforts. The support shown to us in this division by the members, friends and visitors contributed to the success of the program. Concert at 8 P.M. At 8:00 p. m. same day the corps had a concert. The program consisted of songs, recitations, dialogues, duets and quartets, all of which were beautifully rendered. This also was well attended. One cannot but feel at this moment that Negroes are uniting themselves for the carrying out of the program. We have to tender much congratulations to the corps for their skill and efforts devoted in the carrying out of such a beautiful program. We sincerely hope that such spirit will continue among the Negroes of the association. PETER SAMUEL JAMES BERMUDA. B. W. L. May 6 commemorated the fourth year day of the organization of the local division of the association in Bermuda, or Summers-Island, Sunday, April 12, 1924. The Juvenile Branch paraded at North Shore and proceeded to Shelly Bay, where divine service was held at Bethel A. M. E. Church, the Rev. Dr. C. A. Stewart officiating. A large gathering was present to welcome the children. The band, under the supervision of Bandmaster Mark Williams, and the chor, led by their instructor, Bro. C. F. Smith, joined in the processional march "Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God, Almighty." The usual opening hymn, "From Greenland's Icy Mountain," was sung, followed by prayer by the Rev. Dr. Stewart, after which a short program was rendered: (1) Duet by Sisters Gumbs and Warren, "A Plaintive Plae"; (2) Recitation by Susan Morris, "The Penny You Meant to Give"; (3) Solo, "Some Happy Day," by Miss Carrie Tobitt, the eight-year-old daughter of Sir R. H. Tobitt; (4) Solo, "Where He Lends," by Miss Dorothy Seon; (5) Solo, "The Star of the East," by Miss H. Pilgram; (6) Selection by band and choir. The Rev. Dr. Stewart followed with the lesson for the occasion, to be found in Psalm 18, Verse 29. "For by thee I have run; brought a troop; and by my God I have leapt over a wall." A lesson that could not be excelled. Nearing the end of the service the Rev. Dr. Stewart explained that he would not consider the service justly closed if the voice of Colonel Morris, the organizer and director of the children, was not heard. Col. G. A. Morris, in a few well chosen words, thanked Rev. Dr. Stewart for his kind thoughts and the officers and members of the church for their cordial welcome of the juveniles at the U. N. I. A. to the church, also the parents and guardians and friends for having turned out in such large numbers to welcome the men and women of tomorrow. In continuing, he said, let us hope that God will bring about a reformation in the near future, let us hold fast to that which is good and God will fight our battles. Today, four years ago, the first meeting of the association was held at St. George's High School, then in charge of the Rev. R. H. Tobbitt, principal, and, in spite of all of the organized forces and obstacles with which we have had to contend, thank God, I am to find yet the force to conquer us. Let us, therefore, thank God and pray that we shall see the time when the Red, the Black and the Green will be flying over the hill, tops of Africa. Major T. G. Gordon was then introduced by the Rev. Dr. Stewart, who said, "I am not personally acquainted with Major Gordon, who was to be a speaker this afternoon. Owing to time, you will not be favored with his address. But you shall, on a later date, have that privilege. Major Gordon of the U. A. L. and member of the London, England, Division of the U. N. J. A. was then asked to stand. This brought the service to a close. "God bless our president" was the recessional march. Long Lost Tablets of Moses Found in Part VIENNA, May 5. (Gewish Telegraphic Agency).—What are declared to be remnants of the original tablets bearing the Ten Commandments written by Moses, have been deciphered by Prof. Huhtert Grimme of the University of Muenster. "I was taken out of the Nilus by the Egyptian Queen," is the sentence written in the almost forgotten old Hebrew at the head of one of the tablets, which were found some time ago on the Plateau Serabit El Chadam. in the southwestern part of the Peninsula of Siani by the English scholar Flinders Petrie. The tablets contain also the names of Joseph, Menassa and Moses. In an article published in the Vienna Morgan Zeitung, Prof. Grimme, who deciphered the tablets from photo- Where Sir William Sherrill Speaks During the Months of May and June Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights, May 13, 14, 15 and 16, at 8 o'clock, and Sunday, May 18, at 3 o'clock and 8 o'clock.

"Their discovery would be a greater contribution to the history of mankind than the unearthing of King Tutankhamn-Amant's tomb," he declares. He adds that he is certain further invasions would locate three Mesozoic documentations which would prove that the word "Jehovah" is derived from the name of the Egyptian god "Jebus" and that the Hebrew name for God, "Shadel," is derived from the name of the Egyptian god, "Kaptu." PUERTO CORTEZ The Puerto Cortes local division of Charter 187 has undertaken a successful reorganization. The following officers were duly elected: Thomas A. Ford, president; Philip Good, first vicepresident; Thomas V. Ramos, secretary-general; Austin Staine, financial secretary; Mrs. Edith Valpy, assistant secretary; Alfred Cain, treasurer; John Callum, chaplain. The installation of officers took place on April 18, the officers taking their oath and were only sworn in in the presence of William Reneau, ex-chapain, and Mrs. Fermina Gentle, ex-lady president of the said division, assisted by David Uriah Nisbett. Each officer promised most solemnly to stand by the principles of the association, "come what may." The meeting was opened with the singing of the opening hymn from the association's ritual precisely at 7:30 p.m., followed by the reading of the Bestitudes, page 5, in the ritual. A prayer was offered from page 9 in the ritual. Then the motto 'of the organization was repeated by the congregation.' "One God, One Alm, One Destiny." A hymn was next sung from the ritual, page 81, followed by the reading of a Scripture lesson taken from the Acts of the Apostles, chapter v, verses 2 to 8. A prayer was offered invoking God's help and guidance, at the conclusion of which another hymn was sung, page 65 in the ritual. At this stage, David Uriah Nisbett, the chairman pro tem of the meeting, gave in address, stressing on the importance of true and sincere loyalty to Charles 187, William Reneau, ex-chapain, gave a short but rousing address. Hymn 11 was then sung from the ritual, while the officers marched up to the rostum, each officer occupying his seat according to rank. At this point David Uriah Nisbett, in an able manner, thanked the audience for its support, emphasizing that, through the co-operation of each one, the installation had been brought to a successful conclusion. He advised the president, Thomas A. Ford, to use keen discretion with the power he now had to the successful working of the division. Each officer returned a vote of thanks to Mr. Nisbett for the kind assistance he had rendered the division during its struggle for reorganization. Hymn 86 from the ritual was sung and the meeting brought to a close by the singing of the doxology. A new member, John A. Hopkin, was enrolled. THOMAS V. RAMOS. Secretary-General DR.

If one feel and to see women, try to inform men; permit themselves be known into the whirl of men's stature, where the spirit of love a justice plays but little part. Women's Position in Japan "We have in Japan today women, sitting of the so-called newly educated,ying for things, not knowing that they are the very things which they are suffering from because, they have am. What they really need are the images they could inherit from their sisters which they either refuse to accept or leave through their own neglect, often wonder If these young, apparently, well-educated women had already good mothers to look after them." The Ambassador, stated this in his likk on "Women of Japan of Old." veen in New York recently as one of a Leonten lectures of the Y. W. C. A. "The position of woman in Japan" was on to say, "was for many centuries more prominent in comparison that of man, perhaps, than in any Will It Remove These Hair Bumps?

It is only within relatively recent times in our history, that is to say, within perhaps three to four hundred years before the restoration of 1667, more especially during the last two hundred years of that period, when the feudal regime was absolute all over the empire, that the position of woman took its more modest and less prominent appearance in Japan's national life. I say adversely 'appearance,' because in reality it was the women who kept homes—the headquarters of families—sacred during those feudal ages. And in my country the family and not the individual has from time immemorial been the unit of national and social organization. Legend of Imperial House "In the first place, let me remind you that the original progenitress of the Imperial House was, according to our legend, the sun goddess, Ama-terasu, whose descendant, Jimmu-Tenno, was the first Emperor of Japan. Curtis Hidden Page tells us on the authority of a good old Japanese encyclopedia, that it was Ama-terasu's mother, the goddess Iza-namino-mikoto, who, meeting the god Izanagno Mikoto, her later consort, exclaimed at once: "What joy beyond compare? To see a man so fair! "The masculine genius was much displeased because he felt he was outwitted. I suppose, and said: I am the make. It is but reason that I should speak first. How should a woman speak before the man? 'Tis not to be thought of.' "Thereupon they decided to go in opposite directions round the great central column. So they met again, god and goddess. This time the male genius spoke, first: "What joy beyond compare To see a maid so fair! "So these words became the origin of Japanese poetry, we are told. And so that is, we are told also to believe, the origin of courtship, which has been conventionalized to its present form, where woman is not expected to take the initiative. "Coming down to the later ages of more authentic history, during the period extending over more than a thousand years since the time of the accession of the first Emperor Jimmu and preceding the golden ages of Nara and Helan, which roughly covers the period 600 B. C. to 600 A. D. in western history, we see women figuring very prominently in war, politics, religion, art and poetry. "Names such as Jingo-kogo, who supposedly about the time of Chudusl II. marshaled a fleet and with miraculous assistance of waves and fishes crossed to Koren, which she subdued, and the famous Empresses Suiko and Jito, and beautiful Princess Sotohori, suggest only a few of them. Militants and Authors "History also tells us that in those days there were many women chiefs of the militant tribes in the Island of Kushu, one of the principal islands of Jannu. "Thus the sex sometimes described as the gentler does not seem always to have deserved the adjective. At all events, it occupies a pre-eminent place in the early annals of Japan. And for several centuries following through the ages of Nara and Heian, which are celebrated for the glories of their civilization, and even since the usurplifting military potentates came into power, women continued to stand high in Japanese history not only as acknowledged leaders, in learning and literature, but even as factors in politics and in combat of arms. As lately as the end of the tenth century the novel form appeared in Japanese literature, from a renowned authoress known as Murasaki Shikai, who was of the famous Fujiwara family. The work is called the Benji Monogatari, and has fifty-four admirable chapters. "It was followed by the Makurai no soil by another woman, Sel Shonagon, which is a collection in twelve volumes of essays and aphorisms, an entertaining and informing miscellany. Period of Retirement From Public Life. "It was only about the end of the sixteenth century that there began the period that can be said to connect ancient and modern Japan. It was characterized partly by the end of all intercourse with the outer world, partly by the spread of Chinese scholarship and ideas, mostly those of Confucius, and partly by the strong consolidation of the clan or feudal system, which had been growing for the preceding three centuries. "From the beginning of this era women disappeared from public life and ceased to figure so prominently as their mothers did even in the world of literature. The woman's first duty became that of implicit obedience to her husband and her complete absorption in the service of his family—this characteristic subjection, or more justly I should say, willing self-sacrifice of woman, has continued into our own time. "Under this appearance of submission to men the women found the satisfaction of being de facto, if not de jure, masters of their homes and households, and, above all, supreme guardians of their children. If they were not the real masters it was nobody's fault, but their own." The New Order of Things "Since the short space of seventy years, since the latter half of the last century, Japan has undergone and has apparently emerged unhurt from an almost miraculous transformation from a system of fuselalism, most highly developed by centuries' trailing or force of circumstances, into a modern constitutional form of government, and the consequent new order of things in the social and industrial life of the nation. The secret of it all is, in my opinion, that the old foundation stone of society, the family, has retained its massive strength, chiefly because of the women who have been the real guardians of that social unit. We have in Japan a class of young women in over-growing number, whose mothers and older sisters enjoyed a THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 17, 1924 WOMEN OF NEGRO RACE!

BOBBED HAIR BANNED BY FAMOUS WHITE WOMEN BOBBED HAIR BANNED BY FAMOUS WHITE WOMEN Tall Women Look Ridiculous With Shorn Locks From the World's Bureau LONDON, April 18.—It would seem that some of the most beautiful of London's aristocrats and of actresses, artists' models and mankins have been reading the First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians, xl., 15: But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her for her hair is given her for covering. For certain is it that many charming women have come to regard the fashion of bobbing or of shingling the hair as a menace to the true English type of pulchritude. They are confessing sorrowfully and publicly in interviews that they tried bobbing with disastrous results, or that they ventured into the ranks of the shingled—then in deep repentance let their hair grow again as fast as it could. One of the most emphatic in condemning the short-hair fashion is the Hon. Helen Montagu, daughter of Lord Montagu of Beaulieu—on the stage Mrs. A. J. Clark Kenhedy. It must be said that this lady's hair is long and fair and remarkably fine in texture. "Short hair might suit a very young girl," says the aristocratic actress, "but it certainly should not be worn by any girl who has grown up. Bobbing and shingling ruin the whole effect of the truly English type of beauty. This type to be perfect demands long hair. If a woman wants to make her hair look short there are ways of doing this without using the seisiora." When Miss Ethel Warwick, the actress, heard the word "shingling" she shuddered and said: "I think that any tall woman who cuts off her hair makes herself look ridiculous. Many a woman who has become shingled would, I am sure, have been saved from such a tragedy if she had tried on a wig first and seen the effect of the short style. "The only type of girl who can possibly look well shingled or hobbled in the petite girl. But even she runs the risk of looking too boyish." Miss Nettle Grossman, the film actress, who has long black hair, said that some time ago in a weak moment—"just for the sake of fashion"—she had it shingled. "But never again!" she laughed: "The effect was dreadful, and my closest friends could scarcely recognize me. Shingling undoubtedly makes weak hair stronger, but it mins the natural wave in one's hair and makes it coarse." Matrimonial Prospects "Prioner," said the magistrate, "you have already been sentenced eleven titimes for vagrancy, violent assault, embezzlement, theft, and so on." "Would you mind not speaking so loud, your worship?" was the reply: "My intended father-in-law is in court, and you might damage my prospects." —The Beacon. AMAZING OFFER SLENDERIZING Aristocratic Dotted VOILE DRESS $2.98 Stout and Regular Sizes 32 to 53 Best Send No Money on Purchase MODERN CLASSICS SHOULD TAKE PLACE OF VICTORIAN IN STUDY Children Should Read Novels Which Describe Present Conditions, As asserts Dr. Smyth Dickens, Thackeray, Scott, George Elliot and other Victorian classics should be made to "move on" in favor of Edna Ferber, Booth Tarkington, Fannie Hurat, Anila Yesjerska and other present day fiction writers, in the opinion of Dr. Clifford Smith, editor of the "Literary Digest International Book Review," who, in the May issue, contributes an editorial on "The Tyranny of the Classics." Dr. Smith contends that the classics in the public schools are performing the service of intellectual straight-jacks. He believes that children, instead of having to devote study, to novels that describe conditions in past generations, should be encouraged to read novels which deal with present conditions—such as Tarkington's stories of life in the Middle West, Miss Hurst's "Lummox," Miss Faber's "So Big" and Miss Yezelaka's description of the foreigners in America. "Dickons and his contemporaries were well enough in their time," said Dr. Smyth, "but the conditions which they described no longer exist. Why, then, should children be required in the public schools to analyze books which have ceased to have any vital relation to life when there are books being produced with just as great literary merit and with the additional advantage that they describe the vital things of today? Why should 'Sillas Marnes' tyrannize over the mind, of a child when there are books freshly written which would stimulate rather than stultify?" Dr. Smyth in his editorial calls upon educators to awaken to the "classics" which are now being written. "If the practical educator could devise some method by which boys and girls in the literatury classes of our schools would select their own reading and at the same time not be wasting their studies over worthless matters, we would be a long way on the road toward that literary emancipation that must underlie all true appreciation and love of books," says the editorial. Suggestions to Housewives For a change, flavor the rice pudding with lemon and cinnamon. It is very tasty. When you scorch a white article in ironing and are in a hurry to remove stain, dampen a cloth with peroxide of hydrogen and lay it over the scorched spot. Run a hot iron over the stain and it will disappear instantly. This should be done quickly. Often the spot will, disappear if merely rubbed with the cloth dampened in the peroxide. A tea basket of wicker with nickel tea kettle and alcohol lamp, and cups, saucers and plates for four, will prove a comforting adjunct to the motor trifle. WHY WAIT? Don't withhold you appratiation Till the parson makes graze. As he lies with snowy, dries On his brow.

Do not wait till life is over And he lies beneath the clover. For he cannot read his tombstone When he's dead. -J. H.

Women and the League of Nations The principles of equality with men in all positions in the League of Nations having been recognized in the convenant, says a Geneva correspondent, women have pushed this recognition to a practical application until they have succeeded in invading vultually every activity of the league. The only two of the league organizations which they have not yet succeeded in breaking into are the League Council and the Permanent Court of International Justice at The Hague. It is in the secretariat of the league, however, that woman has gained her greatest recognition. Of the 350 employees in the secretariat representing some thirty different nations, nearly half are women. Their nationalities cover all of the leading nations, including the United States and Japan. All of them speak from two to half a dozen languages. LONDON, May 1.—Difficulties arising from the American law providing that women retain their own nationalities on marriage, thereby clashing with the laws of most other countries under which women assume the nationality of their husbands, were called to the attention of the Commons this foremonth. The home secretary, Arthur Henderson, said he was prepared to make overtures to America to have the anomaly removed. Under existing conditions a foreign woman marrying an American becomes a woman without a country. The American rule, it was said, makes it impossible for English girls who have married Americans and gone to the United States to obtain passports for visits to their former homes in England.

Address all mail and money orders to Royal Chemical Company JAMAICA, NEW YORK Gardeners' paper If the discouraged mother of a group of promising children, worrying about their future, could know that all four of them were to be prosperous and rich some day, she would be better able to endure these days of plain meals and patched jackets and scanty pennies. If, on the other hand, the rich women of the moment might occasionally and wholesomely reflect that their children—following the law of nine out of ten children of rich parents—may very probably know what actual poverty is, in the next thirty or forty years, we should really have a much happier world. To the poor mother, would come the braving sense of accomplishment, of building into those penniless young creatures the habits of the thrift, of service, of industry and enery that will make them valued and appreciated citizens. To the rich mother might come the faint suspicion of a need for making friends for her little aristocrats of inculcating just a little less arrogance and surety, against the day of their need and their humiliation. And the moral, perhaps, if there is one, is that it is a mistake to get into a set fashion of thinking yourself as belonging either to the class of the rich or the poor. If you happen to be rich at the moment, it is probably only a leisurely breathing spell between the poverty of your grandfather, and the poverty of your grandchildren. If on the other hand, you happen to be poor, you have only to study the rich families of your neighborhood or your town to realize that wealth has come to them as an entire surprise. In other words, everything changes—especially in America—except this particular law, that everything changes. Englishmen Barely Escape Being Lynched MARILA, May 2—Refusal of two British subjects to permit the Filipinos to eat the same table with them in Holio has led to interim legal proceedings. The British consul general have admitted yesterday that he was preparing a complaint to the governor-general regarding treatment later accorded the Britons. Governor Montinola of Holio has reported that a flight followed the British refusal to share their table and that only the intervention of the chief of police prevented their lynching. The report to the British officials said that the Britons, after becoming involved in a quarrel with Filipinos while attending a carnival, were attacked by other Filipinos, arrested and detained several hours before their release on bail. Chief of Police Lacosa said that he intervened, when one of the Britons struck him, declaring that he recognized no authority but that of the British consul. The Briton was held on a charge of resisting arrest. WEEKLY TEXT You are bought with a joke; be not yo the servants, wi main—Corn; vii 23. Please send me your Society Face Beaconifier.

LET'S PUT IT OVER setting weights the race carries is that many of its leaders function only at times their service is not greatly needed. They seek dominant positions only, to falter at the crucial moment. They seek to carry honor during a recess of the vicissitudes of activities only to hide when the real battle is being waged. Each passing the duty to the other; each fearing the reaction of a step made, even in the proper direction, there is a grand scramble of leaders, in name only, to secure stellar positions when others seek to accomplish that which the 'leaders' failed to attempt."—From The Black Dispatch.

Du Bois de V’Association Nationale peur V’Avancement -_ de “Certains Peuples” Concitoyens de la Race Négre, Salut: : = Jravais promis de ne plus perdre mon temps avec ce mélange d hollandais-frangais-négre-ce métis rédacteur du Crisis, organe officie de I’Association Nationale: pour V'Avancement de “Certains Peuples” mais puisque ce tiers-point hollandais qui s'arroge le droit de.dicter aw Négres ce qu’ils doivent et ce quiils ne doivent pas faire, il n'y a pas d moyen terme; il s'agit de traiter Dis Bois suivant ses mérites. Dans cer tains milieux lorsque nous rencontrons des personnes de la catégorie di W. E. Du Bois il n'est plus ternps de tergiverser ; il s'agit de les houssiner sans miséricorde. Le décorum de la, Universal Negro Improvement Association, mempéoke,. cependant, de me servir personnellement de 1 houssine ou du nfartinent sur cet individu qui s'estime d’une telle impor. tance qu'il croit pouvoir influencer les conclusions des hommes de carac- tére. 2 W. E. Du Boif'a, pendant longtemps, tenté d’étre un conducteur du peuple Négre, sans cepersdant, posséder une once de respect pour la Race ct ses destinées, si non de uous tromper et nous faire croire qu'il est des notres, quand & vrai dire, son but avéré est de déplorer le sang Négre dans ses veines et de faire de la cajolerie pour I’Association Nationale avec la race blanche dans I'espoir d'étre de la classe‘ exclusive en con- traste avec tous ceux qui ont une goutte de sang africain dans leurs yeines. Du Bois a su se créer une situation od il a une semblance d’étre Teconnu Gomme an-coaducteur de son peuple. Heureusement que pezsonne ne s‘occupe serieusement-de ce métis; si l'on s‘occupait de lui nous serions il y a longtemps banni du domaine de ce “grand Je Suis.” Il'a déclaré, non obstant, qué Marcus Garvey doit “étre incarcéré ou déporté: Du Bois esi une lugubre farce. Que fera la déportation de Marciss Garvey pour soulager les miséres dont est affligé le “Ie’ider” de a National Association for the Advancement of Colored People? “En Amérique, en Europe, & la Jamaique, en Afrique, comme partout aillears, Du Bois sera toujours exposé par Marcus Garvey. Dans sor article dans le Crisis pour le mois de mai, Du Bois a fait l'aveurde ce que nous avions toujours pensé, savoir que Du Bofs et son association étaient en conniv:nce avec les employés de Ja Universal Negro Improve- ment Association ‘enlever les documents de Ia dite association ct de miner son succes. Du Bois lui-méme déclare qu'un des antiens officiers de Garvey lui apporta l'extrait de la caisse de Ja. Universal Negro Improve- ment Association qui a été longtemps caché, Ce menteur de Du Bois! Qui & jamais dit & ce Du Bois que la Universal a jamais eu des comptes cachés? Les comptes géntraux de I'Association sont annuellement sou- mis aux Peuples Négres du nionde. Nous posons la question & Du Bois A savoir, des deux Associations, laquelle se sert de la chambre noire pour détourner ses comptes, Ia N. A. A. PC. ou'la U.N. I. A.?- Si toutefois il existe des comptes. ou des balances de comptes secrets—Solde Débiteur, ou Solde Créditenr—qui ont été frappés, ces dits comptes et ces dites balances se trouvent dans les bureiax de ts Nationale Association for the Advancement of Colored People. ; Si organisation du Du Bois a été soumise & la moitié des vérifiea- tions sévéres et rigdureuses comme celles dont !a Universal Negro Im- provement Association a été objet, sans doute la prison serait le sort de plus d'un de ses membres. Du Bois doit rendre des actions de graces 4 Dicu et remercier le cict que grace A la politique, Vinvestigation dé la National Association for the Improvement of Colored People a été pré: venir. Cet homme Du Bois doit éire exposé si toute fois les 15.000.000 de Négres en Amérique doivent étre sauvés. C'est 1A mon devoir. Du Bois ne fait que dénaturer la vérité quand il annonce que Garvey cherche 3 influencer ‘tous les Négres américains et les faire abandonner les Etats Unis pour les deporter en Afrique. Nous exposons ici une grande faus- seté de la part dé’ce Du Bois. Il y a des Négres-en Amérique qui intrin-| séguement n’auront aucune valeur en Afrique, aussi ils ne seront d’aucune utilité & la race. Point de place en Afrique pour des ‘philosophes pares- seux. Nous avons besoin des hommes de peine et non des paresseux en Afrique. Noys n'avons point I'intention d’y transporter tous les Négres d’Amériqué. .< Sus avons besoin des Négres américains qui sont _assez|| intelligents pout ‘calculer, voir et sentir les dangers qui menacent la raée|' Jans l'avenir.

To the Editor of The Negro World: I kindly give me a little space through this great paper to say a few words to Mr. Scaley, who spoke of the satisfaction of British West Indians, who made him an advocate? I am one of the many thousands of West Indians captured throughout Central America for the reason that we are not satisfied with conditions in the home islands. Why is Mr. Scaley? If he is contented to remain in his puddle, why not keep quiet? What is he croaking about? If the West Indians at home are seeking to a betterment they are not satisfied with present conditions. They are enrailed; and that is the fruit of the Universal Negro Improvement Association's influence, which Mr. Scaley is pitifully blind to, see and to admit. He is marked down as one of the many asses braying at Marcus Garvey. R. D. SAMUELS Germany, Costa Rica, April 11. Classes and Masses Needed To a Successful Whole To the Editor of The Negro World: In reading this week's Negro World I run across Bishop Brooks' address at Norfolk. Among the many things he said was that Africa will be redeemed by the classes and not the masses. That's like a collection of army officers without a command. It will take both classes and masses to redeem Africa. Among the masses right here in this city we find Negroes who can do anything: build a house, let it be of wood, stone, brick or concrete; build a mill and grade the roadbed; go in the woods, out the tree down, flew out the tie. Put him in a steel mill, he will make the rail, raise and line the track. We find among the masses the Negro who can sink the mine shaft and earth whatever there is to be brought out. The farmer is the making of every country, and the Negro is numbered among the best farmers. The above is what it takes to build up a country. We need the clauses, too, but the redeeming faction will be the masses. 2316 East 33rd street, Cleveland, O. BISHOP I. E. GUINN F. H. I. C. R. 632 East Sixth Street, Cincinnati, Ohio.

I believe that by the help of the Lord and the work of the association they will put over their program. I also enjoy reading those inspiring Liberty Hall speeches and especially the Hon. Marcus Garvey's. I feel that we need a home because we have been working for the other races, and it is time to start working for ourselves. I am a well wisher in Christ. JAMES NUNNALLY. Marlunna, Ark. To the Editor of The Negro World: In the April number of "Current History" there was an article by J. Murray Clark, entitled, "Canada's Leaders in Science and Research." There were photographs of twelve picked representative scientists who have given Canada a high place in modern scientific activity. One, to all appearances, is a Negro, but the writer of the article did not say if the scientist is white or colored. Plaskett is a member of the Royal Society, director of the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory of Canada, Victoria, H. C., discoverer of the great star 6, 209, which was named, after him, Plaskett. Now, as a reader of The Negro World, I would like to know if Plaskett is a Negro or not? Preferring White Workers In These Steel Mills To the Editor of The Negro World; The Weltron Steel Company, in which I am employed, have just turned off thirty-six Negroes. They have been employed by the company more than five years. Some are well experienced in manufacturing nickel steel. Some have large families and are left idle to rove the Ohio Valley from town to town, in search of employment. Their places were filled with newcomers, all white, unskilled. The whites are coming in from the farming country, and the steel companies are laying the Negroes off, and taking the whites on. ALBERT H. CARBETT. Weltron, W. Va. To the Editor of the Negro World: Everybody longs, for something Some are anxiously watching and waiting for the second coming or Christ; others are longing for the day when they'll have the privilege of becoming principals in governmental affairs in lands prepared and governed by other races; not noticing the games played on them. In the same manner a child will hold something in its hand and beckon to another to take it and each time will put it back, having a good laugh. After a number of attempts it may succeed in getting the article from the other child, leaving that child displaced. Who is satisfied with that style of getting things? Some are longing to be white, so as to have a place in Heaven beside the angels. I say, if the Negroes, like the whites, Every Man Who Has Le Force of Yo Every Man Who Has Lost the Vital Force of Youth May Be Restored Scientist Makes Wonderful Discovery—S Years Should Feel O Scientist Makes Wonderful Discovery—Says No Man Under 100 Years Should Feel Old A new discovery is said to have been made by a scientific study of Serbian mountain people who, scientists say, live longer than any other people. It is said 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, you live forever and alliments such tired, worn-out feeling, weakness nervous debility, sallow completion, loss of weight, poor memory, premature senility, scrawny neck, restlessness at night, pains, headache, colic, bloody, despondency, 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 knowledge that indications being imputed appetite, fever, turgid sleep and return of youthful vigor. The results obtained by scientific tests were so wonderful that the Atlas Laboratories have arranged for an intercourse in the last life, youthful vigor and health to test it without the slightest risk.

Address all orders Canada a Negro? Baltimore, Md. Going in Cuba would endeavor to make a Heaven on earth, then, when they get to the expected one above, there won't be anything strange to them, but with the present way of living, where housing and feeding are concerned, they won't be fit for the one above. The average white man makes his Heaven on earth. On Sundays, while the Negro is in church praying for an increase in wealth and Heaven after death, the white man (his employer) is on his veranda reading newspapers and novels and planning a reduction in his wages. Brethren, this is no time for condemning any Negro movement. Get in them, drag in others, exercise the influences that you so often emphatically boast of. In so doing you are complying with the laws of nature, you are preparing happiness, a happiness that will place you in the true Heaven. Blind, absolutely blind are those who fail to see the necessity of a country owned and controlled by Negroes exclusively. A Negro with all his education and military experience in the British West Indies is not permitted a rank higher than that of a sergeant-major, neither in the police force, nor in the army; and here you have one of the most obvious experiences. On an electric car a Negro will think it an honor to stand, giving his seat to a white woman, while, the white man except being an acquaintance) would never leave his seat for a young Negro lady. Here in this country, like most others, the law is for one and all, yet it's hard to get your rights. In many barber shops a Negro will call up for a trim, but the very barber will inform him that the barber is out. You go in some cafes and dining rooms and the waiter will loaf and dodge around till you get in a disguise and walk out.

A truthful organization, which is bringing millions out of darkness, from their slumber, from cowardice into a state of conscious personality.
