WIDE-AWAKE NEGROES SHOULD HELP TO MAKE THE NEGRO STEAMSHIP LINE A SUCCESS Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: There are times when we must be serious with each other. Such a time is now. We are serious because we have a serious program to put over in a serious world. The world in which we live is so serious that the life of races and nations amounts to very little. Men and races die and nations change; a process that has become eternal, yet in the midst of all we must prepare ourselves to live, and so the Universal Negro Improvement Association is working with might and main not only to make the Negro race live through its length of days as numbered by the Great Almigh but to resurrect from the ruins of the past our ancient glory and honor and establish ourselves once more as a national force. Rally to the Standard Tending toward this end, we call upon the four hundred millions of our people the world over to rally to the one standard, the standard of race love, of race pride, of race unity and of race independence; the standard that spells the emancipation of the entire race. It is such a program that we call upon you to support today Our fourth international convention has just risen. During its deliberation the delegates and deputies from all parts of the world decided that the most solid foundation the Negro could lay at this time was that of firm and secure industrialism. We decided that we would, through the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, lay such a foundation in industry and commerce as to guarantee the future economic existence of our race, and now we are calling upon you for the support necessary to make this possible. Need Money to Pay for Ship We are still in need of money to pay for our first ship. By the time this message reaches you we will be in need of $60,000 more. Another payment is to be made in another few days on the ship, and the corporation needs all the money possible to meet the obligation. It is for every Negro man and woman, and even child, to loan SHIPS TO TAKE FREIGHT AND PASSENGERS TO AND FROM AFRICA, AMERICA AND THE WEST INDIES BIG TRADE POSSIBILITIES FOR NEGROES EVERY NEGRO SHOULD LOAN CORPORATION FUNDS NEEDED TO START OPERATIONS BUILDING UP A STRONG INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL FOUNDATION to this corporation what they can afford. You can help us not only to secure the ship, but to capitalize our industrial enterprise by loaning us $20, $25, $50, $100, $200, $300, $400, $500, $600, $700, $800, $900 or $1,000, according to your ability for a period of five to ten years, bearing you an interest of 5% annually. This money that you loan, along with that of others, will go to capitalize the corporation, pay for its ship and start it off in business. We want our ship to be in operation by next month, to sail out of New York with its first consignment of freight and passengers. The S. S. General G. W. Goethals, to be rechristened the S. S. Booker Washington, will again open up for the Negro the opportunity to the new field of industrialism and commerce. Our ships are to convey the raw materials and produce of our people from Africa to the West Indies, South and Central America to us in the United States and to take back from the United States to those people our finished and manufactured products, thereby giving employment to our race in different parts of the world. Help us to make this first ship a success so that we can have others, and thereby build up a stronger merchant marine and expand our usefulness to the race throughout the world. There are fields yet to conquer for the Negro race in industry and commerce. The teeming millions of Africa are to be clothed, fed and taken care of with the necessities of life. Let us manufacture these things in the United States of America and the western world and ship to them, and let us take from them their raw materials, their palm oil, coffee, coca and hides which we can use in our factories, thereby insuring employment for the millions who in a short while will be thrown out on their own resources. Laying the Foundation of the Future We must lay the foundation now for the future. Don't wait until the future stares you in face with its hardships and difficulties before you realize what should be done. Realize what is to be done and do it now. If you have $100 loan $50 to the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. If you have $1,000, loan $500 to the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company so that we can lay a solid foundation, one of security on which the race can build. We are not millionaires, we are not a rich race, but if that we are capable of, then with the accumulation of the whole we can put over our big program. Let us defeat our enemies by making a success of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. The more ships we put on the ocean, the weaker will become the enemy and the stronger will become the race. The members of our own race who have been fighting us will realize their mistake and rue the day they constituted themselves stumbling blocks in the progress of our people. So let us go right forward and do the best we can to put over the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. There is much for us to do, and we must do it, and do it now. Don't let this appeal fall upon deaf ears, but, as you read it, send in what support you can by way of a loan to the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, 56 West 135th Street, New York, U. S. A. With very best wishes for your success, I have the honor to be Your obedient servant. Universal Negro Improvement Association. Detroit, Mich., September 9, 1924. P. S.—Members, branches, chapters and divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are requested to redouble their efforts in raising funds for the Association and in expanding the Association's membership. Our new convention year is one of work and strenuous effort to make the organization financially independent.

In this petition, the full text of which is given below, the help and cooperation of the President was asked in assisting the Negro race to establish in Africa a nation of its own, where it can be given the fullest opportunity for development. It also placed before the Chief Executive the sinister efforts being made to handicap the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association through persecution of its leader, Hon.

Martin 'LOST VIGOR RESTORED IN 24 HOURS "Glands Awakened in One Day" Is the Amazing Statement of a Soventy-six-Year-Old Veteran. Lost vigor, deadened glands and nerves, and that weak, worn-out, depressed and half-alive feeling need not be dreaded any longer since the discovery of a well-known chemist. Now it is possible for those who feel "prematurely old to become "rejuvenated" and begin a new life" youth often in a days time with Mandela formula, is the amazing statement of one who has taken the treatment. This famous discovery is bringing "renewed youth" and "strength" to thousands where everything else had failed. "I want to say that my 'lost vigor' was restored and 'glands renewed' in twenty-four hours," says D. B. Peake of Kansas City, Mo. "Today I am 76, but I don't feel a day over 40. Before I started taking the treatment I felt I was an old, 'worn-out' man, but now I was a remarkable 'gland restoration' and am 'remarkable' nationation is complete and permanent. May God's blessing rest on the discoverer of such a boon to humanity." This wonderful formula, prepared by one of the largest laboratories in the world and generally known as Mando, is easily used at home and seems to work like magic in its rap. lity on people who play the guitar. No matter how bad your condition, no matter what your age or occupation, no matter what you have tried, if you are lacking in "vigor" and the "vital force of youth" we are so confident Mando Formula will restore you that we offer to send a large $3.50 bottle for only $1.95 on 10 days free trial. If the factory and you are not more than pleased in every way, it costs you nothing. Send no money—just your name and address to F. L. Carlin, 606 Baltimore Blvd., Kansas City, Mo., and the treatment will be mailed at once. Use it according to the simple directions. If you have the 10 days you are not showing "wonderful" humor, just rejuvenation, just and it back and your money will be refunded without question.

MATHEWS, Business Mgr HOROLOGY ASSN Delegation of Universal Negro Improvement Association leaving for Washington, D. C., to present petition of 4,000,000 American Negroes to President Coolidge Left to right, above: Rev. J. D. Barber; Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis; Hon. G. E. Carter; Below: Prof. D. H. Kyle, Sir William L. Sherrill, and Attorney Freeman L. Martin Left to right, above: Rev. J. D. Barber; Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis; Mon. G. E. Carter; Below: Prof. D. H. Kyle. Sir William L. Sheriff; and Attorney Freeman L. Martin and Rev. G. Exponsi Carter, secretary, was ushered into the office of the Hon. C. Bascom Slemp, secretary to the President. Here they met Senator France, of Maryland, and Secretary of War Weeks. Seven large rolls bearing the signatures of the petitioners which the delegation carried attracted considerable attention. The petition to the President was read very carefully by Mr. Slemp, his reading being punctuated with questions seeking enlightenment on some of the statements and propositions contained therein. These questions were an swered by Sir William Sherrill, chairman of the delegation, in his masterly way. "What do you mean by saying Garvey was wickedly persecuted by agencies of the government?" Mr. Stemp asked. And Mr. Sherrill replied: "We mean that government officials have allowed themselves to be used, knowingly or unknowingly, by others to unjustly incarcerate the Hon. Marcus Garvey, to ridicult his character and to hinder his work in Africa." "The Grandest Ideals" Mr. Slemp nodded and passed on remarking, as he finished reading the petition, that the things planned by the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the Negroes were the greatest ideals ever conceived and would be supported by him. Mr. Slemp then conducted the delegation to the President, as a buzzing signal from the President's private office announced that he was ready. The secretary of the delegation, Mr. G. E. Carter, was introduced to the President by Mr. Slemp, and Mr. Carter in turn presented the chairman and other members of the delegation, each one shaking hands with the President. Prof. D. H. Kyle, of Clarksville, W. Va., renewed his acquaintance with the President, who had recognized him as the introduction was about to be made. The chairman then read the petition and presented it. The President was all attention as Mr. Sherwin said, and, at the question, said that any organization with such a large following as the Universal Negro Improvement Association had must command the sympathetic hearing of the government. Agrees with the U. N. I. A. After remarking on the considerable work that must have been involved in securing so many signatures to the petition, the President said that while he was not intimately acquainted with the detailed working of the organization, he yet knew of its general plans, and what it stood for. He believed with the Universal Negro Improvement Association that Liberia should be a strong republic, where the colored people of that country, and those domiciled here who desire to return to Africa, might have an opportunity to develop themselves through their own efforts. His administration, he assured the delegation, would be willing to hear any such large group as represented by the Universal Negro Improvement Association in realizing their aims and objects in the direction of building up a strong republic where Negro culture might be preserved. The United States, he said, had always been in complete sympathy with Liberia and any measure which had as its object the development of that little republic would receive sympathetic consideration from the government. He thanked the delegation for the information it brought him, and wished them much success in their undertaking. While in Washington, the delegation took the opportunity to visit the offices of the Associated Press, and the office of the New York World, at both of which places they were given a coral welcome. Here, too, great interest centered on the seven rolls carried by the delegation. Accompanying the delegation to the White House was Mr. J. H. Stewart, attorney at Washington, and president of the Washington Division, Universal Negro Improvement Association. The petition which was presented to the President read as follows: TEXT OF THE PETITION Petition of Four Million Negroes of the United States of America to His Excellency the President of the United States praying for a friendly and sympathetic consideration of the plan of founding a nation in Africa for the Negro people, and to encourage them in assisting to develop already independent Negro nations as a means of helping to solve the conflicting problems of race. We, your Petitioners, representing four million members of the Negro Race, citizens of the United States, being mindful of the ever present race problem that exists in these United States of America, which has acted as a deterrent to the higher aims and aspirations of the Negro, beg to lay before you the following statement of facts, and hereby ask your help, and operation to the end that our race be assisted in establishing a nation of its own on the continent of Africa, where our members may be given the fullest SOCIETY FACE BEAUTIFIER Full Strength IT IS HARD TO APPLY. USE IT LIKE COLD CREAM. Instantly the skin becomes smooth, the face and complexion becomes good-looking. As the skin begins to brighten up you will be happy about the remarable change. Satisfy your DESIGN for a brighter skin. "Don't look old, wilfered, weighted up, shrivelled, muggy-faced! FILL out COUPON and MARK IT TODAY!" opportunity to develop themselves, and that such encouragements be given by you as to enable the race to assist in the development of already existing Negro nations, of which we may become a part. STATEMENT OF FACTS (1). The Negro was brought to this country much against his will from Africa, and held as a slave. (2). The averred purpose was to exploit his labor and incidentally to civilize and Christianize him. (3). He worked as a slave for over two hundred and fifty years. (4). He was emancipated fifty-nine years ago by President Abraham Lincoln of grateful and imperishable memory. (5). Since his emancipation, he has developed, and has become a part of American civilization, and a part of the Christian systems of our age, to the extent, however, that a new racial problem has been created. (6). The race now forms one-tenth of the population of the American nation. (7). In its effort to rise, there have been handicaps placed in the way on account of race and other prejudices which cannot be easily removed. (8). This has to a great extent bridged the higher ambitions of millions of the race, as far as aspirations to higher office and position are concerned. (9). The race's ambition, however, cannot be permanently bridged; therefore, it is felt that if sufficient outlet is not given to the rising ambition of the Negro, there are likely to be continued scenes of unpleasantness, harmful to both races in their rivalry and contact with each other, for the higher places of usefulness in the nation. (10). A large percentage of the Negro race now feels with your petitioners that with the civilization imbued, they are able to use it in helping to develop the land of Africa from whence they were taken more than three hundred years ago. Your petitioners, therefore, request that you give a sympathetic consideration to the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association of which we are members, which is that of creating for the Negro people, a nation of their own in Africa, and assisting in the developing of already existing information. Negro nations of which your petitioners could form a part. Your petitioners are mindful of the fact that great inconvenience may be caused in the immediate arrangements of the plans for the successful presentation of the object herein outlined, but the end to be served will more than usually such inconvenience and arrangements. We are petitioning that your excellency are your good influence on the State and other departments of your Government, to facilitate in every way the effects of those of the race who are dissatisfied of repatriation to Africa to assist in the development of such independent Negro nations as are now existing and that you further, personally, use your good offices to help us in establishing a nation separately and distinctly in Africa, where we may enjoy freedom among ourselves. Your petitioners beg to draw to Your Excellency's attention that our sole desire in this direction is to permanently improve and help the Negro race, and to lesson the terrible friction and evil that may eventually threaten American civilization, without a friendly, sympathetic and considerate settlement. We also pray that Your Excellency will be good enough to submit to Congress, at its next sitting, a message embodying the sentiment of this petition, and the desire of these, your humble petitioners. We also beg to inform Your Excellency that among the four millions of us who send you this petition, are numbered two million five hundred thousand voters. The rest of us are rendered voteless because of our domicile in States where we are not permitted to vote. We also beg to draw to Your Excellency's attention, that each epoch has its leaders, who have advanced the solution of vexing problems. We know and believe that no race problem is solved unless its solution brings lasting benefit to both groups, the majority, and minority alike. We have contemplated the future of the Negro in the western world and we have studied history and reached a logical and sensible conclusion, that no two races can reside side by side unless the stronger rules the weaker. We also know and believe that the majority race in America has done all that is possible to assist us as a minority; and that there is very little more that it can do to assist us further, and that the responsibility of any further progress rests upon our own shoulders. Realizing and believing this, make us determined in finding a solution for the problem, and our only conclusion is that a proper solution rests in our repatriation to our Motherland Africa, and we would look favorably to your helping us in the creating of an open door through the Republic of Liberia, which was founded through the efforts of liberal white Americans, who banded themselves together in the organization known as the American Colonization Society, which was founded more than one hundred years ago. Believing that the economic struggles between races will become keener in the United States of America, and that there is every promise and belief that the native white population will increase preponderantly, we feel that there can be no other solution of this vexing problem of race than that advanced by your petitioners, through the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We also bag to draw to Your Excellency's attention that the leader of this movement, Honorable Marcus Garvey, its President-General, has been wickedly persecuted by agencies under the control of your government, used as they have been by jealous rivals of our own race, and that any effort on your part in preventing any agencies of the government under your control being further used to unfairly handicap us in this endeavor of ours to solve the race problem will be highly appreciated. We further beg to draw to Your Excellency's attention the unfriendly attitude of two of Your Excellency's recent representatives in Liberia, Solomon Porter Hood and W. E. B. Dubeois, in working against the interest of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in that country, being members of a rival organization, and who used their official positions to create prejudice against our cause because of jealousy and rivalry. Believing that Your Excellency will take into full consideration that your humble petitioners are from diversified sections of these United States of America, and that it is our wish and desire that the things referred to in this petition be done, we your petitioners, therefore, representing millions of others whose names it is not convenient to herewith submit, do pray and evoke, and request of you His Excellency, Calvin Coolidge, President of the United States of America, in the name of God the Creator of all mankind, in the principles of Christianity, the advancement of civilization, and the enhancing of the Brotherhaad of Man in universal love, that you do take cognizance of this our petition, and that you further send a message to Congress embodying our sentiment, and using every power vested in you to assist us in building up in Africa a national home for our race, and for this and other considerations that you may give, we do humbly pray.

Barber, Freeman L. Martin, G. Emmoi Carter, secretary. The Evangelical Christian denominations have been wont to congratulate themselves on the successful manner in which they have preserved the purity of their doctrines. Our Methodist friends once delighted to boast that Methodism was to compact, so unique in structure, so thoroughly organized and disciplined that it was impossible to divide a Methodist church into opposing factions. Time has proved this contention to be futile. The African Methodist Episcopal Church has about a half dozen split wings operating as "Independent Methodists" and the splitting tribe seems to be on the increase. The independent religionist is multiplying as rapidly as the independent voter. Our Baptist brethren with all their boast of denominational coherency and church inter-dependence, are facing the anomalous situation of local churches foraking the doctrines and deserting the faith which they contend was, once for all delivered to the saints. This tendency is alarming; it furnishes the Baptist leaders food for reflection. When once the anti-doctrinal tendency gets foothold it will be extremely difficult to stem the tide. Heresy, like other forms of evil, travels rapidly and with increasing pace. The Holy Writ makes it incumbent on the church to withdraw itself from those who teach or countenance the teaching of heretical doctrines. The religious mower has need to sharpen his Dampus blade; for the tide of heresy having, set in, it will go forward on its mission of dissension and strife, contention and bickering division and disintegration until its advocates and representatives have been given place and power and more loyal adherents have been elevated to their stations. Our loyal Baptist brethren, who wish to preserve their doctrines in their purity, are admonished to "get a move on them." They had better head this admonition. The Negro World does not knowingly accept questionable or fraudulent advertising. Readers of the Negro World are earnestly requested to invite our attention to any failure on the part of an advertiser to adhere to any representation contained in a Negro World advertisement. NOTICE TO READERS AND AGENTS From and After the Issue Dated July 5, 1924, the Price of This Paper Will Be 10 Cents Outside of New York City and Abroad The Paper Will Continue at 16 Pages THE MANAGEMENT LET'S PUT IT OVER THE FOURTH INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION A VERY GREAT ONE THE Fourth International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World has become history. It was a very great and successful convention. No other Negro convention was ever conducted with such singleness of purpose and with such uniform courtesy and fairness in its deliberations, discussions and final actions. As a deliberative assembly it reached the high water mark in the self-constraint, poise and dignity of its members, who appeared at all times to be thoroughly imbued with the high responsibility to their locals and the parent body with which they were charged. There were delegates from all parts of the globe, but they were actuated and deported themselves with the one purpose of accomplishing the most possible for the membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and for the Negro race. The convention was in session for thirty-one days. There was no flagging of interest from start to finish. And some of the days were missing hot, hot as New York only can be in August days. Finally in itself is an object lesson for the race everywhere. It should reach the white races that the Negro has at last come to the point where he can respond to his own leadership and his own organization in the same way that they do, and can do so without their advice and counsel and without their pennies and dollars. It is a far cry from the time when they could not do so to the time when they have done so. The membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association should take heart of hope and go on to higher and greater accomplishments for themselves and for the Negro race. What they have done in the past five years has been an inspiration and a hope to the race everywhere, and nowhere more than right here in the United States and over yonder in the West Indies. Large numbers of the race in Africa also have caught the spirit and seen the vision of race, unity and singleness of purpose in race, thought and effort for race protection and betterment. Marcus Garvey has accomplished that much in five years. What other Negro has done as much, or half as much, or one-fourth as much? And we are only at the beginning of doing things. LIBERIAN GOVERNMENT BIDDING FOR WHITE RULE AS IT IS IN HAITI THERE is not a Negro anywhere who does not regard Liberia, the only country in Africa, except Abyssinia, not controlled by white Europeans in one way and another, as a refuge from oppression they may be subjected to in other lands. Liberia was founded and its independence assured by American interests, under the auspices of the American Colonization Society, for the very purpose of making it a refuge for Negroes who desired to return to their Fatherland, and the American Government has always had a peculiar interest in Liberia on that account and served to that extent to restrain European governments from despoiling the country of its freedom or its lands. It was never expected that any Liberian administration would shut the door of opportunity in the face of any Negro seeking a home within its borders; or that it would do so to a considerable group of Negroes seeking such a home, and that after an understanding that such group would be welcomed by the government and the people. No one for a moment should imagine that the Universal Negro Improvement Association would have incurred the expense of sending more than one deputation to Liberia, and shipping much valuable materials to the country, with a body of experts to make ready for the coming of those who should make arrangements for going, without some understanding with those in authority that the association was justified in its purposes and large expenditures. That is just the condition of affairs. What influences brought about a change of front on the part of those in authority in Liberia? Let us see. The Liberian "News" for July, published monthly at Monrovia, carries the following news article: "We learn that representatives of the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, of Akron, Ohio, U. S. A., have arrived at an agreement with the Government of Liberia for the lease of 1,000,000 acres of land for the production of rubber and other agricultural products. It is understood that the conditions made by the Secretary of State, who conducted the negotiations on the part of the Government, were most liberal and not at all onerous. The scheme embraces, in addition to the agricultural proposition, improvements in the harbor of Monrovia, road construction and the utilization of the rivers for the generation of hydro-electric power. It is confidently expected that the results of this agreement will give a powerful stimulus to economic enterprises throughout the country. The Government, it is reported, is willing to grant leases to other responsible THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1924 menace or individual who may have capital to invest. The aim of cooperative concessions is closed. It is to be hoped that President King's policy, to the greater of confessions will be persisted in by encouraging administrations." In his front page article in The Negro World of last week, President General Garvey, in discussing the Liberian matter, said: "As everybody knows, we were preparing to carry out our Liberian colonization program during this and succeeding months. Every arrangement was practically made toward this end. Men were shipped to Liberia as well as materials to the cost of over $50,000.00. Two consignments of materials were shipped from New York, one on the 25th of June, 1924, and the next on the S. S. West Drmo, on the 25th of July, 1924, consigned to the Association, in care of Chief Justice J. J. Dossen, of Cape Palma, Liberia, in keeping with the understandings and arrangements entered into with the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the representatives of the Liberian government, and a local committee of Liberians, appointed in said government by the direction of President Charles King, all of which culminated in a higher industrial and commercial development of Liberia as a permanent home for the black race, in keeping with the constitution of that great little black republic. Unfortunately, after all arrangements had been made in this direction, our steamship secured to carry the colonists and all plans laid, these enemies of progress worked in every way to block the carrying out of the plan. For the purpose of deceiving the public and carrying out their obstruction, they tried to make out by the protest that was filed by Ernest Lyons, of Baltimore, with the government at Washington, that our Association was of an incendiary character, and that it was the intention of the organization to disturb the good relationship that existed between Liberia and other friendly powers. A greater nonsense could not have been advanced by any idiot." These are the facts. They place the responsible Government of Liberia in a very bad light. The trouble seems to have begun when Dr. DuBois appeared in Monrovia as a special representative of President Coolidge at the inauguration of President King. It is not assumed that Dr. DuBois was instructed to deal in any way with the colonization question as determined between the Liberian Government and the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but the presumption is that he did deal with it, and in such a way as to influence President King. As President Garvey has shown, and as the statement in the Liberian "News" foreshadows, the princely concession of rubber and other lands to the Firestone company, to be followed by other concessions, will so tie up the Government of Liberia by foreign corporation control as to threaten the independence of Liberia. Any concessions of lands of resources, such as coal and oil, as has been amply shown by past experience, as in Mexico, Haiti, San Domingo and Cuba, tie the hands of the governments as to leave the people very much at the mercy of alien landlords and exploiters. Experience is a hard taskmaster, but people and states do not always profit much from its teachings. Let us hope that Liberia may be able to retain its independence in spite of the 'policy of race exclusion and alienation of the public domain to outsiders who now appear to have the right of way. The work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will go on as it has been going on, arousing the race to its rights and interests and stimulating it to make the most of its thought and labor for itself and not for others. The Association stands for Negro rights, interests and opportunities, and the race will continue to stand for the Association, as it has been doing for the five years past. THE MAIN ISSUE IN THE VIRGIN ISLANDS CONFUSION In another column of The Negro World we are publishing some account-of the trouble the people of the Virgin Islands are having under the American administration of their affairs. We are keeping up with the tendency of administration in the Virgin Islands as a matter of principle and because we believe it one of the ways by which citizens of our small dependencies may be protected in their just rights. The tendency of American administrators, who usually are of the military or naval service, in the West Indies and in the Pacific Ocean in dealing with off-color peoples, has been to be of the high hand and long arm sort, such as we have in the Southern States, for the most part, in the relations of whites and blacks, and which provokes unrest and bad blood wherever the tendency goes far enough to become a running sore. Equality of American citizenship should follow the flag. Wherever it cannot be so the American flag has no defensible excuse for being and floating as a sign of domination. That should be the principle. It has not thus far so worked out. The Virgin Islanders, therefore, are within their rights in crying aloud and protesting against all acts of administration which affect them injuriously in their lives and property and their "privileges and immunities." It is only by so doing that the jewel of freedom can be kept alive. The Negro World believes in the power of agitation and of protest. Agitation is not only the breath but the life of reformation; therefore, agitate, protest, when wronged. WEST INDIAN LABORERS IN CUBA AND THEIR GRIEVANCES THE NEGRO. WORLD learns through correspondence between th: British and Cuban Governments, as published in the Barbados "Weekly Herald," that the British Government has been inquiring into specific cases of brutal treatment of West Indian laborers, subjects of Great Britain, temporarily residing in Cuba, and that the Cuban Government has given an explanation, in each case, taking refuge and pleading in extenuation the jurisdiction claimed by all countries of trying offenders according to local law or laws of the country, which is always all right when it is; that is, when the laws covering outsiders and the administration of the laws, with the public opinion of the time and place to be reckoned with, are just and considerate. Judging by the many complaints which have from time to time come to The Negro World from Negro laborers and others in Cuba as aliens, it has not seemed to us that the police and the authorities higher, up have given the proper consideration to such people as have violated the laws of the country or fallen under the displeasure of the police. It has seemed to us that the police were entirely too free with their authority and brutal in the use of it. The point we wish here to make, however, is simply that it is great gain to have the Government of Great Britain concern itself about the rights of its subjects in Cuba, with a disposition to inquire into their complaints and to protect them in their just rights. For a season it appeared that Great Britain was not so concerned. Its show of concern, although tardy, should serve to bring about better conditions of work and treatment of its West Indian subjects temporarily domiciled in Cuba. It is the business of every government to protect the interest of its citizens or subjects wherever they may reside. When Negro, Jew, Catholic and Foreigners Meet. By T. Thomas Fortune Most people, do not know where they came from nor where they are going, nor why they are where they are instead of in the place where they started life. They have to take it for granted. In like manner most people claim to be of this or that race without being able to prove anything about it, and have to dogmatize, which does not admit of argument or controversy. They don't know because they have been crossed and recrossed so often in their family and race lines as to be unable to trace their beginnings. How can he know what his ending is if he be ignorant of his beginning? It is to guess. Anthropologists all differ in their conclusions as to the origin of races. No two of them agree. Take the Jew, for example; he certainly did not come to type in what he was when Abram and his wife and his half brother Lot left Ur of the Chaldees. He started as a Hebrew at Paden Aram, became a Goshenite in Egypt and left that country as an Israelite, and then he became a Jew in the land of Canua. What is he now, after passing through Europe and fetching up in America? They don't know. Son: claim to be, Hebrews, some Israelites, some Jews. As a matter of fact, they are some of all, in the race-crossing of Ham and Shem and Japhet, although this latter is an elusive creature who does not know himself. He classes himself as a Nordic and a hundred other things that bar him out of his origin, descent and "enlargement" by the word of Noah. He has no spiritual philosophy of his own, having adopted that of the Ham-Shemites, with whom he is now disclaiming any kinship or part. He says he is a Nordic, with affiliated ethical differentiation and frills, but he has no inheritance in the spiritual descent from Noah as a Nordic. He has only an "enlargement," which must pass from him as Japhet if he does not make good in the law of the spirit. Has he done so? The signs are that he has not. When he sets himself up outside "the fatherhood and brotherhood" as the master of his brethren, with right to rule and rob them as their "keeper" he places himself in the place of Cain. And there is where he is. Let us see. I went out to see the baseball game between the Baltimore Black Sox and the Lincoln Giants at the Catholic Protective Grounds. There were some 6,000 people there; 4,000 of them were Jews and Catholics and foreign born. The teams were both black. The 2,000 Negroes and the 4,000 other mixed sort were upon the happiest terms. Then I went down to the Colonial Theatre to see the Sissle and Blake "Chocolate Dandies." The house was packed with Jews and Negroes, fareign born and a few Nordics. It is a black show financed by Jews. Everything went off in the most pleasing way. And then I considered, as I traversed anew the land from Central Park to, the Harlem River, and from the Harlem River across Bronx county to the Westchester county line, that the Negro, Jew, Catholic and foreign born have taken possession of both enormous divisions of territory, among the choicest in Greater New York, and have developed them as the most beautiful and desirable residential districts in the country—then I considered that when the Jew, Negro, Catholic and foreign born get together in the same district and work together, the Nordics and their differentiate become negligible, or get out. Harlem and The Bronx were not intended and built up for the Jew, the Negro, the Catholic and the foreigner, but they have come in and possessed the palaces and hovels and the splendid opportunities of the land in much the same way that the Israelites went in and took over the walled cities and other things of the land of Canaan. Is there any special significance in the manifestation? I think so? What think you? Sure, "God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform." Birth Notice Mr. and Mrs. Ressella announced the birth of a son, Monday, August 18, 1924. Mother and son do well. MISS BETTALLY SMITH Associate Secretary New Haven Division. --- WHAT WE BELIEVE THE Universal Negro Improvement Association advocates the uniting and blending of all Negroes into one strong healthy race. It is against miscegenation and race suicide. It believes that the Negro race is as good as any other, and therefore should be as proud of itself as others are. It believes in the purity of the Negro race and the purity of the white race. It is against rich blacks marrying poor whites. It is against rich or poor whites taking advantage of Negro women. It believes in the spiritual Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man. It believes in the social and political physical separation of all people to the extent that they promote their own ideals and civilization, with the privilege of trading and doing business with each other. It believes in the promotion of a strong and powerful Negro nation. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS The members of our group should not allow themselves to be longer the dupe of designing politicians that give the glad hand only at election time but fall us miserably when we need them most. The line of demarcation is drawn and try as we will or may the Negro cannot escape the fact that there are many who seek their suffrage and yet they are hostile to the aspiration of the Negro. Here we want it distinctly understood that the Negro is asking no special privileges because he is a Negro, but simply justice, because he is a man—California Voice. We cannot leave the people and expect them to respect and follow, we must live close to our folk, we must be glad to live with them if we hope to get the best results for the race and ourselves—Birmingham Reporter. A certain amount of opposition is a great help to a race as well as an individual. Kisses rise against the wind, never with it. Even a head wind is better than no wind at all. No man ever worked his voyage in a dead calm. Opposition always makes men stronger. —Nashville Clarion. Business growth is our business, and we cannot do to much in any place as individuals or as groups to aid on the good work. It is the only way to make for ourselves the place in American life to which we are justly entitled. Wealth properly accumulated and wisely used for living and developing purposes, is the greatest power in modern life. Wealth can create nothing, but it gives to them who create and wisely use it an advantage which can not be over-estimated. The race is beginning to understand this crucial fact and is being benefited accordingly. —Norfolk Journal and Guide. One of the unfortunate things about the race problem in America is the fact it keeps the Negro's attention centered upon himself continually. It seems that there is no time, place or condition where he is permitted to breathe the air of a free human being. He must always be concoctively trying to better his own racial condition, or to protect himself from those who would restrict him. Too much of his time is taken up with, self defense, protests and pleas. Much of this program seems necessary and may be helpful service. We grow by struggle and conflict rather than ease—Indianapolis Freeman. There is no possible doubt about the truth that the great majority of the youth of the land—without regard to race—is aiming to earn a living in dress suits. Overalls and grimy faces and hands are losing greatly of the people who use to delight in earning a living by the sweat of one's brow. You see it so often in the newspapers and periodicals that all the boys want to become professional men, and the girls are determined that they, too, must be let in on the jobs which do not fatigue the body; and so, the people will soon become too busy hunting easy jobs to give any time to help till the soil, and, therefore, produce the necessities of life—Newport News Star. All men are weak and are given to temptation. They are made strong by their indomitable will-power and, the encouragement they get from those who desire to see them succeed and hold out to the end—Charleston Messenger. Life. after all, is adjustment to environment. To put it another way, life demands the doing of these things which experience teaches us are essential to our comfort, safety and very existence—Louisville Leader. Our aim should be higher than to shine, in reflected glory. We should strive to shine in a glory of our own.—Star of Zion. crying like children nor fighting like dogs.—Warsaw Sun. The Jew is an indefatigable canvasser. He has learned how to "go after" what he wants. He goes from house to house to seek customers. Of the forty-two canvassers who came to my house during one month, fully a third were Jews, and there was not a single colored, man, among them—Cleveland Call. HEALTH TOPICS By B. S. HERBEN Of the New York Tuberculosis Association A Mistake and Its Results There was a young lady in the early twenties, who was known for her gerry outlook upon life, and wherever there was a party this fun-loving and fun-making girl was sure to be found. Her circle of friends was large, and she seldom had an evening which was spent alone. Boys and girls liked her, and they insisted that she "come along," or they sought her in her own home. The results of this popularity were not happy. The young lady had had a childhood which had, been spent in devotion to her father—who, like Lloyd George, made a companion of his daughter. The father, unfortunately had finally succumbed to tuberculosis. It is probable that the daughter had been infected with the same germ, and as she grew older and met the demands of popularity she overdid it. All night have gone well if in one winter month she had rested more and taken better care of herself. This is what happened. Almost every night was filled with social engagements, and the days were busy, for she was in college. She gave to the limit of her strength in work and play. One night she grew overheated in the room in which all the young folks were dancing, and stepped outside without her wraps for a few moments. It was just a thoughtless action! The next day she was ill with a severe cold—the "dui" they called it, and she let the matter drag on for a number of days, and then resumed college work when she was barely able to be around. The "cold" hung on for six weeks, and she no longer had the abundant energy to work and play. Her appetite departed, and she lost weight and was heard to remark that she was "fired all the time." Finally the doctor was consulted. Fortunately, he was able to make an early diagnosis. Unfortunately, the diagnosis was tuberculosis. The girl went away to the proper place and spent three months in bed and several months more on the porch in the "gure chair," and in the course of time returned—apparently well and her old merry self again to renew the old and happy life. This difference was noticed: she rested more and so planned her work and her play that she never undermined her health. She insisted that her friends should be more sensible also, and she never allowed them to do the foolish things, such as exposing themselves as she had done, and of letting "colds" go without attention. After her experience, she knew that nobody, is safe from tuberculosis infection, and the way to prevent the disease is to keep well by not overexaggering the strength of eating enough, by setting a diet, and by preventing colds and heat. In disease, if everyone would in fact obey the simple rules of health, there would be no breakdown. TOUSSAINT L'OUVERTURE, THE GREATEST MILITARY GENIUS AND STATESMAN OF HIS TIME The Santo Domingo Negro Who Headed the Only Successful Slave Rebellion in the History of Mankind—The Matchless Oration of Wendell Phillips To the Editor of the Negro World: Permit me to express my feelings through the columns of your most valuable paper; The Negro World, and to congratulate Mr. Arthur E. Williams, of New York City, for his ambitious spirit. It shows that he aspires to something higher. And, let me say right here, if the Negro race would only try to get the historical facts of ourselves, the race would not be lying in the dust under allen tyranny and oppression. On the contrary, it would have risen to the heights of our ambition. Reading the philosophy of Marcus Garvey (page 1, chap. 1), we find it recorded that history is the landmark by which we are directed into the true course of life. The history of a movement, the history of a nation, the history of a race, is the guide-post of that movement's destiny, that nation's destiny, that race's destiny. IF U DON'T C CONSULT DR.

Were I to tell you the story of Washington I should take it from your hearts, you, who think no marble white enough on which to carve the name of the Father of his Country. But I am to tell you the story of a Negro who has left hardly one written I am to glimpse it from the relict to teach many of Britons, Frenchmen, Spanish-men who desplaced him as a Negro and a slave, and hated him because he had beaten them in battle. All the materials for his biography are from the lips of his enemies. Let us pause a moment and find something to measure him by. You remember that Macauley, says, comparing Cromwell with Napoleon, that Cromwell showed the greater military genius. If we consider that he never saw an army until he was forty, while Napoleon from a boy was educated in the best military schools in Europe Cromwell manufactured his own army; Napoleon at the age of twenty-seven was passed at the head of the best troops Europe ever saw. They were both successful, but, says Macauley, with such disadvantages, the Englishman showed the greater genius. Whether you allow the influence dr, not you will at least grant that it is a fair mode of measurement. Apply it to this Negro. Cromwell never saw an army till he was forty; this man never saw a soldier till he was fifty. Cromwell manufactured his own army—out of what? Englishmen, the best blood in Europe. Out of the middle class of Englishmen—the best blood of the island. And with it he conquered, what? Englishmen—their equals. This man manufactured his army out of what? Out of what you call the despicable race of Negroes, debased, demoralized by two hundred years of slavery, one hundred thousand of them imported into the island within four years, unable to speak a dialect intelligible even to each other. Yet, out of this mixed and, as you say, despicable mass, he forged a thunderbolt and hurled it at what? At the poorest blood in Europe, the Spaniard, and sent him home compelled, at the most warlike blood in Europe, the French and put them under his feet, at the pluckest blood in Europe, the English, and they skilled home to Jamaica. Now, if Cromwell was a general, this man was a soldier. I know it was a small territory, it was not as large as the continent, but it was as large as that Attica, which with Athens for a capital, has filled the earth with its time for two thousand years. We measure genus by quality, not by quantity. Further, Cromwell was only a soldier, his time stopped there. Not one line, in the statute book of Britain can be traced to Cromwell, but one step in the social life of England finds its motive power in his birth. The state he founded went down with him to his grave. But this man no longer put his bind on the belim of state than the ship steadied with an upright keel, and he began to evince strenuity as marvelous as his military genus. He was a Negro. You say that his was superstitious blood. He was uneducated. You say that makes a man narrow minded. And yet—Negro and slave he took his place by the side of Roger Williams and said to his committee, "Make it the first line of my constitution that I know no difference between religious beliefs". Now blue-eyed Saxon, proud of your race, go back with me to the commencement of the century, and select what states man you please. Let him be either American or European, let him have a brain the result of six generations of culture, let him have the richest training of university routine, let him add to it the better education of practical life, crown his temple with the silver locks of seventy years, and show me the man of Saxon lineage for whom his most sanctine admirer will wreathe a laurel rich as embittered foes have placed on the brow of this Negro share military skill, profound knowledge of human nature, content to blot out all party distinctions, and trust a state to the blind of its sons. Antipating Sir Robert Feel fifty years, and taking his station by Roger Williams before any English or American had won the right. And yet this is the record, the history, of rival states, made up for this inspired black of St. Dominique. Above the lust of gold, pure private life, generous in the use of his power, it was against such a man that Napoleon sent his army, giving to General Leclerc (the husband of his beautiful sister Pauline) thirty thousand of his heat troops, with orders to reintroduce slavery. Holland lent sixty ships. Eng everything about the children of Israel under the Egyptian houdage, but when it comes to ourselves, our forefathers and African "Ob: cut that out; we are not concerned that way"—always trying to argue that we are Jamaicans. St. Lucians and the rest of them; because we were born there. But, friends, remember that the children of Israel, though they spent about 200-odd years in Egypt, and hundreds and thousands were born to them, so that they became a great people in numbers, they were still Israelites and not Egyptians. I say to the members of my race, wake up. Get the spirit of Mr. Williams. Go back to history. Find out where you can get the true history of our race. And when you shall have found the truth, you will be free, because you will get to know yourself. I am sending full text of the oration of Wendell Phillips.

MORRISON Lugueno, No. 8, Florida Prov. de Camagüe, Cuba. land promised by a special message to be neutral, and the black lookout on the whole civilized world marshaled against him. America, full of slaves, of course was hostile, only the Yankees sold him poor muskets at a very high price. Mounting his horse and riding to the eastern end of the island, Samana, he looked out on a sight such as no native had ever seen before. Sixty ships of the line, crowded with the best soldiers of Kidighue, rounded the point. They were soldiers who had like Cesar's, had shaken Europe. Soldiers who had sealed the Alps and planted the French banners on the walls of Rome. He looked for a moment, counted the flotilla, let the reins fall on the neck of his horse, and turning to Christophe, exclaimed, "All France is come to Haytt; they can only come to make us slaves, and we are lost!" He then recognized the only mistake of his life—his confidence in Bonaparte, which had led him to disband his army. Returning to the hills, he issued the only proclamation which bears his name and breathes vengeance: "My children, France comes to make us slaves, God gave us liberty. France has no right to take it away. Burn the cities, destroy the harvest, tear up the roads with cannon, poison the wells, show the white man the hell he comes to make." "And he was obeyed. When the great William of Orsane saw Louis XIV cover Holland with troops he said: "Break down the dikes; give Holland back to the ocean!" And Europe said "sublime!" When Alexander saw the armies of France descend upon Rusia he said: "Burn Moscow; starve back the invader!" And Europe said "Sublime!" This Black saw all Europe marshaled to crush him, and he gave his people the same heroic example of defiance. Some doubt the courage of the Negro. Go to Hayert and stand on those fifty thousand graves of the best soldiers. France ever had, and ask them what they think of the Negro sword, and if that does not satisfy you, go to France, to the splendid manoeuvre of the counts of Rochambeau and to the eight thousand graves of Frenchmen who skullled home under the English flag, and ask them. There never was a slave rebellion successful but once, and that was in St. Domingo. Every race has been, some time or other, in chains. But there never was a race that, weakened and degraded by such chattel slavery, unaided, tore off its own fetters, forged them into swords and won its liberty on battlefield, but one, and that was the black rice of Santa Domingo. I would call him Napoleon, but Napoleon made his way to empire over broken paths and through a sea of blood, this man never broke his word. "No retaliation" was his great motto and the rule of his life. And the last words uttered to his son in France were these: "My boy, you will one day go back to St Domingue; forget that France murdered your father." I would call him Cromwell, but Cromwell was only a soldier and the state he founded went down with him to his grave. I would call him Washington, but the great Virginian held slaves. This man rushed his empire rather than permit the slave trade in the humblest of his dominions. You think me a fanatic tonight for you read history not with your eyes but with your prejudice. But fifty years hence when truth gets a hearing the mise of history will put Phoenix for the Greeks and Brutus for the Romans. Hampden for England. La fayette for France, choose Washington as the bright consummate flower of our earlier civilization and John Brown the pipe fruit of our good day, then dipping her pen in the sunlight, will write in the clear blue sky above them all the name of the soldier, the statesman, the martyr, Toussaint Louverture.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1984 "The Chocolate Dandies," New Musical Comedy at Colonial Theatre, Opening September 1st "CHOCOLATE DANDIES" HAS COLORFUL PREMIER Splendid, Dazzling Scenery and Varied and Splendid Artistic Surprises and Success Mark Opening Sissle and Blake and their company of associate funnakers, songbirds and heavy of bewitching brunettes, the fastest stepping chorus in captivity, and by far the most colorful presentation seen locally in years, continue their limited engagement at the Colonel Theatre in their very newest, up-to-the-second musical comedy classic, "The Chocolate Dandles." The opening night, September 1, was a splendid success in every way. The audience was large and appreciative, noticing with liberal praise all of the good and high points, and there were many. The scenery, the costumes and the acting were of a very spectacular and fetching character. Julian Mitchell, who staged the production, has embellished even the Zingfeld Folles' in the original dance creations. Noble Sisle and Lew Payton have furnished a book that tells a story replete with witty dialogue and ludicrous stunts, while Eubl Blake that master musician, not only so skillfully conduct the new famous Sisle and Blake symphony orchestra but, with the assistance of Noble Sisle, supplied the many titlating musical gems with which the offering abounds. Besides the featured members, Stain and Blake, the large supporting cast and chorus of over a hundred and twenty-five performing pedalists include Low Evanton Johnny Holdings, Russell Smith, Irving H. Frowning, Charles Davis, Lester Goe, Valada Snow, Elizabeth Welch, Josephine Baker, J. Mardell Brown, William Grundy, Fred Jennings, Eldie Robinson A. W. Rawn, Lee J. Rendel of Curtts Carpenter, George Jones, Jr. Amanda Randolph, Ines Clough, Adelson Carey the Four Kings of Harmony, W. H. Berry, Joe Smith, Romance Opera House Band and three more. Popular paired matrices are given on Wednesday and Saturday. The Negro is the organist of modern jazz. This is the assertion of Eubie Blake of Stain and Blake, new recognized as America's favorite society untoaters, new current at the Colonial Theatre for a limited engagement in their newest Divine musical class. The Chocolate Punches. "Unless a white man has been coerced in the South with the blacks and knows them throughly, he could give even a medical imperfection of a Negro minstrel" says Blake. "The distinctive traits are racial and must be born in one. There are hundreds of Negroes in the South with wonderful voices and talent for dancing but they do not have opportunities to show the whites what they can do; their chances to develop are limited. We feel that we are giving the blacks and American folk songs and dances that will go down with the years as destiny."

(Special)—George Whipple Hubbard, founder and president emeritus of Mebarry Medical College, died in this city at 5:30 o'clock Friday morning. Dr. Hubbard was the leading spirit in educational lines of this city. He had labored sixty years in Nashville for Negro education. The funeral services were held Sunday afternoon in the Mebarry Auditorium. Dr. W. F. Tillett, dean and director of the School of Religion at Vanderbilt University, delivered the funeral address. Dean Tillett had been personally acquainted with Dr. Hubbard for forty-two years. Prominent business men of the city took part in the program. Dr. George Whipple Hubbard, fourth son of Jonathan B. and Annie (Whipple) Hubbard, was born August 11, 1841, in Charlestown, N. H.; and was educated at New Hampshire Conference Seminary and New London Literary and Scientific Institution; delegate of the Christian Commission in the Army of the Potomac, and also in the Army of the Cumberland in 1864; taught a regimental school in the 110th U. S. C. I in 1865-6; principal of the Belleview Public School, Nashville, Tenn., 1867-74. He graduated in the Medical Department of the University of Tennessee in 1876, and in the Medical Department of Vanderbilt University in 1879. In 1876 he was appointed by the Freedmen's Aid Society of the M. E. Church to organize a medical department of Central Tennessee. This department has been known as Mehray Medical College. He was dean of this college since its organization until it was reorganized in 1916, when he became its first president. He retired in 1921, having served forty-five years as head of the institution. He was married to Miss Annie A. Lyon, of Allegheny City, Fa., December 24, 1869, and they lived happily together till she was called to her reward three years ago. The direct descendants of the Hubbard family remaining are: Mr. Harry Hubbard, of Kansas City, Kansas; Dr. George W. Hubbard, Mineral Wells, Texas; Rural Hubbard, Mrs. Allie Hubbard McLeod, Los Angeles, Cal.; Dr. Joanne Hubbard Bowles, of Denver, Colo.; children of his brother, David Hubbard. Also Mrs. Esther Hubbard Chellis, of Claremont, N. H., daughter of his brother, Henry Hubbard. To use the words of Julius Rosenwald: "The notable career of Dr. Hubbard, the founder and long time president of the institution, his work and his spirit of devotion will be perpetuated as the college develops in the future years upon the foundation he laid so well and in the lives of the many students whom he trained. He won and deserved the confidence of the Negroes by his uniting efforts to promote their professional education. He gained the respect and approval of white people all over the land by his fidelity to the task to which he devoted his long useful life. His monument is Meharry Medical College."

Standard Products Company 438 Lenox Avenue New York (From The New York Evening Bulletin) A Bulletin reader wants to know if man will ever learn to "fly like a bird?" Yes, and women, too. Human science usually gets off on the wrong foot. The inventor of the locomotive was certain that trains would have to run on cog-wheels and cogged rails to prevent them falling off the tracks. The wire was at first deemed essential to telegraphy. Then, along came the young Italian, Marconi, who "cut" the Hertz waves and introduced wireless. Marconi felt sure that the breaking of the wireless wave was the one way to send wireless messages, through the ether. Poulsen, the American Scandinavian, proved Marconi wrong long before the Arlington station, near Washington, sent its first dispatches by the continuous wave. Man's will to fly is older than the recorded history of the world. Thus came the first conception of the winged angels who arouse the fire of the modern scie tists because, they say, "the wing is just the forefoot-of the feathered creatures and birds can't grow wings on their backs." Unluckily for these scientists, research has disinterred from fossil graves absolute proof that strange creatures of old did grow wings on their backs and these wings were never forefeet. The actual reptiles that suggested the far-famed Chinese dragons lumbered along the land and sailed through the air with wings that flapped from their backs. Man first tried to fly on kites. That was the beginning of "heavier than air" flight. Then, many centuries later, the balloon was invented, the "lighter than air" precursor of the dirigible of today. Man ascends with a balloon because a balloon and its pilot are lighter than the air they displace. That is the "lighter than air" principle of flight. The "heavier than air" principle is based upon power, and speed and wing spread. The airplane indicates that flying man is getting back to the bird. Yes, you will fly, as safely, as freely as a bird; because inventive man will not rest satisfied until he has completely conquered the known natural elements. Flying will be cheap and as common as crossing the street. Possibly, some poor boy or girl who may read this will solve the problems, enable the poor as well as the rich to soar at will among the clouds and—make more millions than Henry Ford. All things are possible. Some are certain. It is absolutely certain that, in time, the flight of the bird will be accomplished by man. Lafayette Theatre Reopens In New Interior Costume After being closed for the month of August in order to make ready for the present season, the Lafayette Theatre threw its doors open Labor Day, to accommodate the amusement seekers of Harlem. The management of this theatre intends to furnish their many patrons with a first-class vaudeville and meeting picture show all this season. The bill for next week will consist of eight big-time acts, along with first-run photoplays at popular prices. There will be no need, therefore, of going further downtown than 131st street and Seventh avenue for a first-class performance. Just stop in at the Old Reliable, and enjoy a most pleasant evening.

UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION FOR 1924-BIG GATHERING OF NEGROES FROM ALL PARTS OF WORLD The Universal Negro Improvement Association is now appealing to the members of the organization and members of the race everywhere to do their best to make the convention of 1926 the greatest of all any world conventh. This year the organization is to discuss at its convention all those vital problems that affect the race and to lay down a solid base for the industrial development and development of our people.

After plotting to discredit him through the Black Star Line in which they did not succeed, they again planned to have completely rendered him unpopular among Negroes by trying to indict him at the very opening of the Fourth International Convention on the charge of false income tax report. The same group of enemies who once said that Garvey had sent his sister away with all the Black Star Line money now comes back and says that Garvey has no sister, so that when he made out his income-tax report, it was false to mention that he had a sister.

Mr. White's book is the story of a crime. The crime began in the Black-border days and is still being perpetrated. There have been curatives offered, but they haven't worked. At first the crime was confined to the territory south of Mason and Dixon's line. Then came the exodus to the North, and straightway the citizens of East St. Louis and of Chicago showed their Northern sympathy and understanding of the Negro problem. "The Fire in the Flint" is actually the story of a lynching. It is an unusual lynching, not the usual drunken white men, drunken black man' affair, with a blue-sigel gun and a Saturday night night followed by a pile of charred bones in the town square. Mr. White tells of a young Negro, a fine doctor with an army record, who returns to South Georgia to work among his own people. It is a hopeless story, told with scrupulous attention to detail and carrying with it the best portrait of the small Southern town that I know anything of—and I know something of the small Southern town, too. Central City, Georgia, is a town much like Valdeza or Waycross, a small community comprised of newly rich-piney-woods parvenus—which hasn't so much as a breath of interest in the outside world.

If you recall the reception tendered Carol Kennicott's ideas, you can imagin- that given Dr. Kenneth Harper at Central City. To this picture add a black skin, the Ku Klux Klan, and you have the bitter reality of "The Fire in the Flint." Mr. White is not restrained in his book, nor is there any God's reason on earth why he should be. He passionate, bitterly so, against his scene. He doesn't hesitate to show both sides of the record. For example, he can be as bitter against the charlestan who bellows fundamentally from the pulpit of the African church as he can be against the soundr who controls the local K. K. K. He indicts the small-town forces, just as every young novellist has indicted them since Sinclair Lewis revived a mode. He shows the hopelessness of a liberal, whether black or white, in such a community. Through it all he manages to weave a story, a melodramatic story, garbled and hysterical. But how else could he have told his story of a double lynching? One sigh that he did not have the power of, E. M. Forster in "A Passage to India." But there is only on Forster when dealing with the misunderstandings and crimes of moral difference. As a first novel, "The Fire in the Flint" is a significant book. An any novel at all it is worth while. It is so timely. Few novels have been needed more. As a Southerner this reviewer can not question a single statement "The Fire in the Flint," as assertion that most lynchings can provoked by white women to their face after yielding to a Negro. I doubt its truth. I never saw a Negro snatched from a mob for the crime of rape who was not a defective, most beastly dug, plainly degenerent. I have talked to many such, too. Mr. White has been an investigator lynchings. Perhaps it is true. I would he supply me the data. Yet, the assertion prove unfounded, such a novelist can be spared any overstatement. His case is so fiery a sort of truth—his hatred of Anglo-Saxon hooliganism—that overstatement is almost necessary to a fighting book. "The Fire in the Flint," you should be read to every Southerner. Oh yes, and to Gen. Dawes, of wadown South in Chicago. --- FOR over two years the brave Riffians on their own native soil have repulsed and beaten the best armies of Spain in the latter's attempt to subjugate them and exploit their country. We are proud of these brave African warriors, who have revived the ancient valor of Hannibal and other Ethiopian soldiers of historical fame. All Europe has been stirred by the inability of the Spaniards to conquer the Moroccans, and a few days ago the United Press gave out the report that there is every possibility of the French and British uniting forces with the Spaniards to conquer the Riffians. How unfair and unjust! The Riffians did not make war on the French or British, they are merely defending themselves and their lands from the invading Spaniards. How can there be world peace when nations and races know no law of justice and equity, but only the law of force and power? We are more than convinced of the hypocrisy of these heralders of "World Peace and emocracy." France and England are afraid that if the Moroccans expel the Spaniards for all times, the former may go a step further and, with the co-operation of other tribesmen in Africa, oust them and overthrow their colonial governments of exploitation and subjugation. With this fear in view, they are determined to unite and annihilate the noble sons of northern Africa. But General Rivera, the Spanish dictator, is afraid that if he allows these foreign governments to help him in this war his government would be overthrown. Providence moves in a mysterious way. We, the scattered sons and daughters of Africa, pray that our gallant brothers may be strengthened physically and spiritually to hold that portion of Africa, their native home, against all invaders and usurpers. IT'S UP TO YOU! Again we appealed to the women of the race to send in contributions to this page. Because of the repeated requests of some of our readers we have allotted a page to the women, to afford them an opportunity of expressing their views on all questions affecting home and public life. We find that the few contributions we receive are not of sufficient literary merit to warrant their publication, and, although many highly educated women write expressing their appreciation of this page, yet they make no effort to maintain it by weekly contributions of articles, news items, poems, etc. We would like to know of the activities of our women in all parts of the world and publish the same in order to counteract the propaganda levelled against us, as a race, that we are lethargic, and impotent to the onward march of civilization and progress. The editor of this page is giving her services to maintain this space for women, although handicapped by prolonged illness, and will certainly feel encouraged if the women will respond to this appeal for their own benefit and to enlighten other races on the merits of black womanhood.

To be-shot by explosive bullets Or to retchedly starve and die; And where the beach-comber harries The isles of the Southern Sea. At the peak of his hellish vessel Tis the English fla., flies free. "The Maori full oft hath cursed it With his bitterest dying breath; And the Arab has hissed his hatred As he splits at its folds in death. The hapless fellah has foared it On Tel-el-Kebir's parched plain. And the Zulu's blood has stained it With a deep indelible stain. "It has floated over scenes of pillage, It has fainted over deeds of shame. It has waved over the fell marauder As he ravished with sword and flame. It has looked upon ruthless slaughter, And massacre dire and grim; It has heard the shrirks of the victims Drown even the jungle hymn. "Where is the flag of England? Seek the lands where the natives rot: Where decay and assured extinction Must soon be the people's lot. Go! Search for the once glad islands, Where diseases and death are rife, And the greed of a callous commerce Now fattens on human life! "Where is th flag of England?

James Mackaye, Economist Enunciates Strange Philosophy on Happiness "Science, applied to material ends, has brought us opportunities which we don't know how to use. "Science must now be applied to the manufacture of morality and happiness just as it has been applied to the manufacture of steel. "Moral engineers, using scientific methods, must replace statesmen and politicians." Code of Happiness 1. We must go about the production of happiness in the reasonable, commonsense way that men go about producing soap or tannages. 2. Science must be applied to the maximum production of happiness. It must use evidence in achieving the end precisely as it would use it in achieving the end of maximum money or wealth. 3. The standard of happiness is the only standard which can provide right code to guide conscience. 4. Happiness and unhappiness are the only known things of ultimate interest. 5. The code of maximum ultimate interest to all mankind is the code of utility. It rests, like the code of probability, on a foundation of science not of conscience or conviction. 6. A technical applied science of usefulness would be the most effective instrument available to man for acquiring and applying knowledge of the means to be adopted for attaining happiness.

PERSONAL Code of Happiness A second blow has befallen the Stakesby Lewis Hostels—one more serious than the raising of the valuation of their properties by £4,000 over and above purchase price. After ten years of successful work, the Stakesby Lewis Hostels have suffered a terrible blow in that the police have ordered all the native men at Cyrene Home, excepting three, to leave for Ndabent, on the unbound that only registered voters may reside in Cape Town. From the very beginning when the the Mayor, Mr. John Parker, opened our Native Men's Hostel at 32 Napier street, on May 19, 1915, it was clearly understood that we were authorized to lodge Christian and civilized natives irrespective of their possessing the vote or not. For no men coming from the Transvaal or Free State have votes, nor have civilized Christian visitors from places beyond the Union such as the Congo, Mozambique etc. The tenacity and Christian character of such men are clearly demonstrated by their desire to stay at the Stakeshe Lewis Hostels instead of holding their temporary occupations are rife. Surely the first we can do is to provide them with the passing accommodation they require. And what about the moment to up from the "President" Adjunct Society to means or a night, an amputation? Very few of them are voters. In 1910 to 1920 in reply to an inquiry from the High Commissioner's Office in London, the Native Affairs Office of the Union replied that the hospital were deserving of great or amputation having proved of great or amputation in the housing of native choirs, delegates and witnesses attending the university Select Committees, etc. In 1914 the Admiral station, in opening the Strike by Lord Lovell, called boazar, said: 'the most strange thing that we Europe have to hotel, all over the place and that we are anxious to keep content open, where coloured and native men can get strong drink, under certain restriction, such as that they have to be registered with, yet when the canteen, we all of these men must go into the street, and there have to be for them to go out, or friends.' "There are no hotels for them and no place to keep them away from the content station, and the demand with which it is largely unpaid." I welcome the hostels. They are true charms in the streets of Low Hotels. I may undertake only the presents, as they do not pay the new way, the new heart, and should be supported in all these the support charity institutions.

CHICAGO IS AMERICA BECOMING IMPERIALISTIC? Nation Magazine States Some Interesting Facts About Occupation of Haiti (From The Nation) Haiti is too small to stay in the headlines. The juggernaut of American Imperialism is rolling on, crushing the life of the proud Negro republic, and the American people are unaware of the bitter crimes being committed in their name. We, the American people, conquered Haiti in 1915. There has been no legislative, no legal government in Haiti, since Smedley Butler, now settling the affairs of Philadelphia, appeared pistol in hand before the Haitian Senate (too boldly patriotic to be the conqueror's will) and dissolved it. No elections have been held. A puppet government has held power, ruling in the interest of American economic development, and ruling brutally. One branch of the government remained in Haitian hands—the courts. The Americans on their puppet government might issue decrees muzzling the press and forbidding criticism of the conqueror's acts; the courts almost invariably refused, as patriots should, to hold Haitian editors guilty. Again and again the complaint has been made that the courts were partial and preferred Haitians to marines. Naturally, what Haitian would not? Now this last bulwark of Haitian freedom is being destroyed. On July 28, by decree, the Illegal Council of State abolished the permanent tenure of the magistracy. Henceforth, insubordinate judges can and will, be removed by executive that. Doubtless we shall read in navy publicity that the courts were corrupt and the magistrates ignonant; the fact is that the magistrates are being dismissed because they were too patriotic. Elections should, constitutionally have been held last January. Without sanction by the marines or the puppet government many Haitians insisted on exercising their constitutional rights and voting. A Senate was elected. This Senate, although never sworn into office by the powers that be, has just met. It was particularly aroused by the action of the American authorities in negotiating, in behalf of Haiti, regarding a frontier dispute of long standing between Haiti and Dominican Republic. It is reported that traces of oil have been discovered in the disputed territory, which makes the negotiations particularly interesting. Faced with the possible allenation of their land by their conquerors the Senators drew up this protest: "The Republic of Haiti is still under the military occupation of the United States and the government which rules there is not the free expression of the people's will. It is the duty of the Senate to protest against the initiative of this government in underwriting, in the present circumstances, to settle the Haitian Dominican dispute. "The Senate, in the name of the people from whom it obtains its power and under reserve of the authority of the High Court of Justice, declares void and of no effect any act which transfers Haitian territory to a foreign state, company, or individual without the formal consent of the authorized representatives of the nation, and declares that any citizen participating in such an arrangement is a traitor to his country. "(Signed) Cauvin, Cézar, Charmant, Honore, Sandra, Telemuse, Sykam, Glemand, Hudicourt, Senators." Americans applaud such courage and independence when little nations display it against other great nations. As they blind and dumb when a weak people attempts to preserve its integrity against their own race. OUR LETTER BOX To the Editor of the Woman's Page.

American institutions are admirable indeed, and the Fillipinos have learned a vast deal from them. But no one will seriously contend that the type of progress of the Fillipinos should be American before they can stand alone in the world. For one thing, such a development cannot come about, and it would be sheer folly for the Fillipino to strive for it. We hope we have shown that it is high time for the American people to redeem their pledge of freedom. The Fillipino people are grateful to America for what she has done for them, but they would be infinitely more grateful to her should she now let them work out their own destinies.—Manuel L. Quezon, in Current History. How Strong Nations Treat Weak Ones Five Mexicans are killed every month in the United States—at least that in the average of a six-year record. Mexico has not, therefore, broken diplomatic relations, demanded apologies and indemnities, or filled the front pages with scare headlines. Mexico is small and weak, and we are large and strong. So whenever one American or Englishman is killed in Mexico we are faced by an "international incident." The recent murder of Mrs. Evans, the Texan widow of an Englishman whose spirited—and violent—defense of her ranch against nationalization was at the bottom of the British-Mexican incident of a few weeks ago, might not to create more international exponent than the death of a Polish miner at the hands of a Pennsylvania mine guard - The Nation. "Society is not an organism and cannot evolve. Man is evolving, but he may have to go back to savagery in order to continue his evolution." "Savagery produced great men. It weeded out the unit and only the greatest survived. It was in the jungle that man developed those qualities of leadership which made it possible for him to establish civilization. "But it cultivation made it possible for the workings to survive. Eventually it needed to destroy leadership. We OS Worn in Place of Corset # transferred authority to the work and unintelligent and called the "old democracy."—Albert B. Wiggins—in New York, World. If there is one thing that children need, aside from food and shelter, it is personal affection and attention, and even in our present important civilization, those men and women who have been deprived of it, in other words, of a happy childhood, have a spiritual warp which rarely straightens out. They look back upon their childhood with resentment and bitterness, and lack, therefore, that normal 'attitude toward life which is the first factor not only of happiness but success.—Gertrude Atherton, in New York American. "All of our learning and science, our culture and our arts, will be of little avail, unless they are supported by high character. Unless there be honor, truth and justice, unless our material resources are supported by moral and spiritual resources, there is no foundation for progress. A trained intelligence can do much, but there is no substitute for morality, character and religious convictions. Unless these abide, American citizenship will be found unequal to its task."—President Coolidge. A THOUGHT When the soul is filled with beauty. When the heart is filled with love.

RACE BUSINESS GROWTH IN PAST TWO DECADES Silver Jubilee of the National Business League Celebrated at Chicago Extracts from Address of President Moton CHICAGO, IL. Aug. 21.—More than 6,000 people gathered in the apacious auditorium of the Wendell Phillips High School Wednesday evening to hear the annual address of Dr. Robert R. Moton, president of the National Negro Business League, which is celebrating its silver jubilee and twenty-fifth annual meeting in this city. Dr. Moted put a glowing tribute to the memory of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, the founder and first president of the National Negro Business League, declaring that "the inspiration which he gave to business development and the results that have been accomplished in the years following cannot be adequately measured." The speaker pointed out that the present need in Negro business "is to stress the need for honest, capable, expert management as a basis for credit and a warrant of confidence on the part of the business world in the ability and the competency of the American Negro to handle financial and commercial affairs, corporate and otherwise, in a thoroughgoing, genuinely efficient, business-like fashion." In speaking of the progress which the Negro has made in the past twenty-five years, Dr. Moted said: "There is no need today for discouragement; rather there is every reason for hopefulness from whatever angle we may view our situation, notwithstanding the back currents and eddies in our political and social progress. The Business League has had a very large share in the astounding progress that the race has made. Let me give a few concrete examples of this progress. When the league was organized twenty-five years ago there were in existence about 20,000 Negro business enterprises, little and big. Now there are quite 70,000, Twenty-five years ago there were 250 drug stores; there are today more than 900. Then 450 undertaking establishments were conducted by Negroes; there are today 1,555. When the league was organized there were but two banks; now there are seventy-four. We boasted, and properly, twenty-five years ago, of 10,000 retail markets; we can boast today of more than 25,000. In 1900 we paid taxes on property valued at $800,000,000, our reality holdings alone today are worth $1,700,000,000, and if we should add the value of church property and educational institutions owned and operated by the race and for the race, and the progress in education in all of its phases, including music, art and literature, we can properly say as the prophet of old, with the pro- Every Man Who Has Lived Force of Y Scientist Makes Wonderful Discovery Years Should A new discovery is to have made by a scientific study of Forbidden mountain people who scientists say, live longer than any other people.

The mother further urged the members of the National Negro Business League to pool their resources for the commercial development of the rate; referred to the great buying power of the race and explained the manner in which the National Negro Peace Corporation, which was recently formed with a capital of $1,000,000, would be one of the foremost agencies in the economic development of the Negro in America, and declared the need of such an organization was shown by the rapid sale of the stock which was put on the market about six weeks ago and $100,000 worth had already been sold. The text of President Moton's address is as follows: "Twenty-five years ago 'Bocker T. Washington, whose name we delight to honor and whose memory we deeply revere, called together at Boston a group of business and professional women with whom he visited ways of attaining by which they could fix attention, not loss on the moral and intellectual development of the Negro race, but at the same time on the importance and the absolute necessity for greater business progress. "There was organized at that meeting 'the National Negro Business In and out of season, sparing neither time, means nor energy, the great Founder of this organization with his prophetic vision preached the gospel of business development for the Negro people as a fundamental necessity to their general development. His great personality drew to his aid always many of the leading spirits of the race. The inspiration and impetus which he gave to business development and the results that have been accomplished in the years following cannot be adequately measured. "There is no need today for discouragement; rather there is every reason for hopefulness from whatever angle we may view our situation, notwithstanding the back currents and eddies in our political and social progress. The Business League has had a very large share in the astounding progress that the race has made. Let me give a few concrete examples of this progress.

Twenty-five years ago, there were 250 drug stores; there are today over 800. Then 450 undertaking establishments were conducted by Negroes; there are 1,558 today. When the league was organized there were but two banks, now there are 74. We boasted, and properly twenty-five years ago, of 10,000 retail merchants; we can boast today of 25,000. In 1900 we paid taxes on property valued at three hundred million dollars; our reality holdings alone today are worth one billion seven hundred million dollars, and if we should add the value of church property and operated by the race and for the race, and the progress in education in all of its phases, including music, art, and literature, we can properly say as the prophet of old, with the profoundest reverence and thankfulness, "What Hath God Wrought!"

I knew of one simply where the wife and children knew that the father had at heart six thousand dollars. He was taken in and went out one night, telling his wife he was going to hide it. They had good reasons to believe he had a good deal more hidden, away somewhere. He died the next day and though they acquired the place inside and out, they were never able to locate that money. Buying Power of Reach It is also estimated conservatively that Negroes have in banks not owned or operated by colored people, between seventy and a hundred million dollars. Upon a great deal of this they draw no interest, it not being in the savings account. Suppose half of this money were deposited in Negro institutions, what a big difference it would make in furnishing employment to Negro boys and girls. This would mean no loss to white institutions because most of our own banks, for obvious reasons, carry large accounts in white banks. There is another thing this league should do in the future in a larger measure than we have in the past, and that is, emphasize the importance of thrift for our people, young and old. Let me quote some figures from the United States Treasury Department based on taxes collected by the Internal Revenue Bureau for the year 1921. The Negro race constitutes one-tenth of the population of the United States. Basing our estimates on this fact, the figures of the Internal Revenue Bureau show that in the year 1921, Negroes spent for luxuries alone the following sums: For cigars, cigarettes and tobacco, $8,000,000; for perfumery and cosmetics, $16,000,000; for toilet soaps, etc., $14,200,000; (personally, I would not put toilet soap down as a luxury. I think it a necessity); for moving pictures, theatres and cabaret, $65,000,000; for soft drinks and ice-cream, $20,000,000; for candy, $71,000,000; for jewelry, $25,000,000; for chewing gum, $3,500,000; planes, organs, phonographs and other musical instruments, $20,000,000; sporting goods, cameras, electric fans, photographs and pictures at least, $20,000,000 more. "Now if the league along with all the other organizations of the Negro in the country, including churches, Sunday schools, secret and benevolent societies and the like, could set up a continuous joint campaign, say for five years, a crusade, as it were, with a view of getting the race to save, not the entire amount, that would be impossible—but without curtailing in any appreciable degree our pleasures and recreations, to set aside an aggregate of ten percent, of the amount we spend for luxuries which would total at least STOP WHISKEY Wonderful Treatment Helped Faithful Wife to Save Husband When All Else Failed The Happy Reunion Golden Treatment Did It Golden Treatment Is Odorless and Tasteless —Any Lady Can Give It Secretly at Home in Tea, Coffee or Fond You Can Try It FREE "simple cherry to win the smile of business," he wrote.

We must help in co-operative buying and selling, in up-to-date methods of bookkeeping and inventories; in neat, orderly, attractive places of business and courteous service. We must take away from Negro business enterprises the all too characteristic car marks of shiftlessness, disorder, discourtesy, uncertain weight, ubusinesslike as well as unethical methods of dealing with customers. In other words, we must, in business parlance, sell the Negro merchant to his own race as well as to other races. "We need also to establish a central bureau from which may be sent the latest information regarding 'Negro business and corporations, a sort of clearing house of helpful information on worthwhile enterprises." Given Security for Life and Property, Thrift Is Easy WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—Negroes who have migrated into Northern sections from the South are called upon in an "address to the country," adopted at the closing sessions of the Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission Convention, "to deport themselves in such a manner as not to be bring reproach upon the race." It urges that they "refrain from spending their money on luxuries and pleasures and buy homes, erect business houses and strive in every way to make good, law-abiding citizens of themselves." Membership in labor organizations was recommended, with a warning against those having "anarchistic and Soviet tendencies," and enforcement of the Prohibition laws was advocated. The society also pledges itself "to contend for a maintenance," of American non-membership in the League of Nations. Why Be Unlucky? Why Be Unlucky?

We have very little about him preaching or teaching in the usual places of worship. But he did his work wherever there was necessity. As last Sunday, he gave forth his great spiritual sermon on the new birth to an audience of one, so this Sunday he gives a great social sermon to an audience of one. Jesus and the Nice Question Jesus "must have go through Samaria." He did not have to go because he could not go any other route. As a matter of fact, most Jews went another way so as not to pass through Samaria; for the Jews and the Samaritans had no dealings with one another. The Jews looked down on the Samaritans, for they did not regard the Samaritans as pure blooded. Originally Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and their sons had occupied the whole of Palestine, "from Dan to Beerasha." This land had been divided between the twelve tribes of Israel. David's and Solomon's Kingdom extended even beyond this famous boundary. But after Solomon's death the land was divided between Rehoboam and Jeroboam. Ten tribes under Jeroboam established their quarters in the north and were known as the Kingdom of Israel. Samaria, about thirty miles from Jerusalem, became their capital. The Kingdom of Judah retained Jerusalem as its headquarters and Rehoboam as its king. About 721 B. C. the Assyrians invaded the Kingdom of Israel and took the ten tribes captive and led them away. These captives became the ten lost tribes of Israel. In their place the Assyrians sent colonists of another race of heathen. These colonists intermaried with Jews who remained and tried to adopt the Jewish religion, sacred writings and rites, and established a temple at Gerezim where they aped the worship of the Jews at Jerusalem.

The Jews, knowing their own identity, refused to identify the equality of the Samaritans during the time of Jesus, there was considerable petty hostility. The woman at the well in this lesson, beheaded to give Jesus a drink of water, knowing him to be a Jew. But Jesus completely ignored the racial difference and punished to her a common man on the water of life. Jesus by this act emphasized that the salvation he brought was for every one: "Whoever drank of the water that I shall give him, shall never thirst." If Jesus had been talking to an orthodox Jewish woman and said "whoseover" he might have been interpreted as meaning "whoseover among the Jews," but he was talking to a Samaritan and he meant exactly what he said: "whoseover," anybody of any race, any color, any olime. How, different in Jesus from those who try to limit his religion to some particular race or nation! There are those who try to fence in the Christian religion on a basis of race. They are not following their Master; they are not Christians except in name. For with Jesus the benefits of the everlasting life was to "whoseover." Then Jesus taught social equality. He was willing to drink out of the vessel of a Samaritan woman. He here forever discredits by his action the notion that Christianity stands back of the foolish ideas of social inequality for which certain people try to get religious sanction. There may be a certain type of religious sanction, but it is not Christian. Human beings are human beings to be known by their character, not their color. Jesus Does Not Uphold Religious Bigotry Doubtless every Jew felt the only place to worship was Jesus, and in his childhood Jesus had in all probability been so taught.
