SHALL THE NEGRO BE EXTERMINATED?
FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting:
The Negro now stands at the cross roads of human destiny. He is at the place where he must either step forward or backward. If he goes backward he dies; if he goes forward it will be with the hope of a greater life. Those of us who have developed our minds scientifically are compelled, by duty, to step out among the millions of the unthinking masses and convince them of the seriousness of the age in which we live.
From Adam and Eve
We are either on the way to a higher racial existence or racial extermination. This much is known and realized by every thoughtful race and nation; hence, we have the death struggle of the different races of Europe and Asia in the scramble of the survival of the fittest race.
As we look at things we see that the great world in which we live has undergone much change since the time of the creation. When God created the world, and all therein, He handed His authority over to the two beings He created in His own image; namely, Adam and Eve. From the time of Adam and Eve the human race has multiplied by leaps and bounds. Where we once had two persons to exercise authority over the world, we today have one billion five hundred millions claiming authority and possession of the same world that was once the property of the two.
The Tragedy of Race Extinction
When the Colonists of America desired possession of the land they saw that a weak aboriginal race was in their way. What did they do? They got hold of them, killed them, and buried them underground. This is a fair indication of what will happen to the weaker peoples of the world in another two or three hundred years when the stronger races will have developed themselves to the position of complete mastery of all things material. They will not then, as they have not in the past, allow a weak and defenceless race to stand in their way, especially if in their doing so they will endanger their happiness, their comfort and their pleasures. These are the things that strike the thoughtful Negro as being dangerous, and these are the things that cause us who make up the Universal Negro Improvement Association to be fighting tenaciously for the purpose of building up a strong Negro race, so as to make it impossible for us to be exterminated in the future to make room for the stronger races, even as the North American Indian has been exterminated to make room for the great white man on this North American continent.
The illiterate and shallow-minded Negro who can see no farther than his nose is now the greatest stumbling block in the way of the race. He tells us that we must be satisfied with our condition; that we must not think of building up a nation of our own; that we must not seek to organize ourselves racially, but that we must depend upon the good feeling of the other fellow for the solution of the problem that now confronts us. This is a dangerous policy and it is my duty to warn the four hundred milion Negroes of the world against this kind of a leadership—a leadership that will try
Race Faces Extinction Unless It Bestirs Itself SHALLOW-MINDED, SELF-SEEKING NEGROES, GREATEST STUMBLING BLOCK
Harmony and Unity Between Intelligent and Illiterate Groups a Crying Need
TRUE LEADERSHIP MEANS SACRIFICE FOR THE COMMON GOOD
to make Negroes believe that all will be well without their taking upon themselves the task of bettering their condition politically, industrially, educationally and otherwise. The time has come for those of us who have the vision of the future to inspire our people to a closer kinship, to a closer love of self, because it is only through this appreciation of self will we be able to rise to that higher life that will make us not an extinct race in the future, but a race of men fit to survive.
The Price of Leadership
Those of us who are blazing the way in this new propaganda of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to enlighten our people everywhere are at times very much annoyed and discouraged by the acts of our own people in that, consciously or unconsciously, they do so many things to hurt our deeper feeling of loyalty and love for the race. But what can we do? Can we forsake them because they hurt our feelings? Surely not. Painful though it may be to be interfered with and handicapped in the performance of the higher sense of duty, yet we must, martyrlike, make up our minds and our hearts to pay the price of leadership. We must be sympathetic, we must be forgiving, we must really have forbearance, so that when the ignorant and illiterate fellow who happens to be a member of your own race stands up to block the passage of some cause that you believe would be to his benefit and to yours as a people you will be able to overlook him, even though he fosters his opposition with the greatest amount of insult to your intelligence and to your dignity.
The excuse that some of our most brilliant men give for not identifying themselves with race movements is that they cannot tolerate the interference of the illiterate Negro, who, being a member of the same organization, will attempt to dictate what you should do in the interest of the race, when his act is based upon no deeper judgment than his like or dislike for the person he is opposing, or the satisfaction it would give him to embarrass the person he feels like opposing. Many an able leader is lost to his race because of this fear, and sometimes we must admit the reasonableness of this argument; but, as I have said, leadership means martyrdom, leadership means sacrifice, leadership means giving up one's personality, giving up of everything for the cause that is worth while. It is only because of that feeling that I personally continue to lead the Universal Negro Improvement Association, because, like every other leader, I have had to encounter the opposition, the jealousy, the plotting of men who take advantage of the situation, simply because they happen to be members of the organization, and that we may have to depend upon their vote one way or the other for the good of the cause.
Not that some of us care one row of pins about what the other fellow thinks, but when it is considered that we can only achieve success through harmony and unity, then it can be realized how much one has to sacrifice as a leader for getting that harmony that is necessary to bring about the results that are desired.
The White Race
We desire harmony and unity today more than ever, because it is only through the bringing together of the four hundred million Negroes into one mighty bond that we can successfully pilot our way through the avenues of opposition and the oceans of difficulties that seem to confront us. When it is considered that the great white race is making a herculean struggle to become the only surviving race of the centuries, and when it is further considered that the great yellow race under the leadership of Japan is making a like struggle, then more than ever the seriousness of the situation can be realized as far as our race is concerned. If we sit supinely by and allow the great white race to lift itself in numbers and in power, it will mean that in another five hundred years this full-grown race of white men will in turn exterminate the weaker race of black men for the purpose of finding enough room on this limited mundane sphere to accommodate that race which will have numerically multiplied itself into many billions. This is the danger point. What will become of the Negro in another five hundred years if he does not organize now to develop and to protect himself? The answer is that he will be exterminated for the purpose of making room for the other races that will be strong enough to hold their own against the opposition of all and sundry.
An Appeal to the Intelligentsia
The leadership of the Negro of today must be able to locate the race, and not only for today but for all times. It is in the desire to locate the Negro in a position of prosperity and happiness in the future that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is making this great fight for the race's emancipation everywhere and the founding of a great African movement. Every sober-minded Negro will see immediately the reason why we should support a movement of this kind. If we will survive, then it must be done through our own effort, through our own energy. No race of weaklings can survive in the days of tomorrow, because they will be hard and strenuous days fraught with many difficulties.
I appeal to the higher intelligent as well as to the illiterate groups of our race. We must work together. Those of us who are better positioned intellectually must exercise forbearance with the illiterate and help them to see the right. If we happen to be members of the same organization, and the illiterate man tries to embarrass you, do not become disgusted, but remember that he does it because he does not know better, and it is your duty to forbear and forgive because the ends that we serve are not of self, but for the higher development of the entire race. It is on this score, it is on this belief, that I make the sacrifice of self to help this downtrodden race of mine. Nevertheless, I say there is a limit to human patience, and we should not continue to provoke the other fellow against his human feelings, for in doing so we may be but bringing down upon our own heads the pillars of the temple.—From Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey.
TOMKEY MILTON VAN LOWE CONGRATULATES MEMBERSHIP ON THE SPLENDID MANNER IN WHICH THEY HAVE RALLIED TO THE SUPPORT OF THE BLACK CROSS NAVIGATION AND TRADING CO. NOW GO FORWARD WITH FIXED DETERMINATION
LIBERTY HALL, NEW YORK, Sunday Night, October 19.—The members of the New York local assembled at the regular Sunday night meeting in their usual large numbers and manifested the usual interest and enthusiasm which are ever present with them in all matters concerning the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its program for Negro uplift and African redemption. The spirit of loyalty and devotion which the hundreds of thousands of followers of the movement in all parts of the world are evidencing toward the cause is wielding a unseen influence not only upon the enemies who are relaxing their opposition and giving up in despair because of the hopeless outlook before them in trying to create a breach in the ranks of the membership, but also upon the minds of the natives of Africa, which is reflected in the attitude of unrest that prevails in almost every section of Africa, news of which is seeping through the highly censored channels, and shows that the propaganda of the Universal Negro Improvement Association of "Africa for the Africans" has wrought an awakening among them that is causing grave concern and alarm among the nations which have for years and years been exploiting them and their country. These happenings give hope to the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association that their efforts are not in vain and inspire them with courage and determination to push forward the work of the organization and lay the foundation for the future redemption of Africa and the Negro race.
The musical program that preceded the speeches tonight was highly enjoyable. Especially so was a song entitled "We're Hitting the Trail to Africa," composed and sung by Mrs. Wynn, a member of the motor corps of the organization, which made a decided hit, to the extent that it took several encores, and finally the entire audience joined with gusto in singing the chorus. Copies of the song were placed on sale and went like "hot cakes."
Among the executive officers on the platform were: Hon. G. E. Carter, the presiding officer; Hon. F. Levi Lord, Auditor-General, and Hon. G. Randall Smith, Third Assistant President-General, together with Hon. William H. Hammers and Attorney Milton Van Lowe. The speeches, though not always well appreciated, the speakers being Mr. Carter, Mr. Smith and Mr. Van Lowe. Following is the text of the speeches:

Tonight, daddy, take a package of WRIGLEY'S to the kiddies. Mother, too, will appreciate it.
Doctors and dentists say that WRIGLEY'S helps to keep the teeth clean and the mouth wholesome and sweet.
It is an aid to digestion, too, so convalescents are given WRIGLEY'S to stimulate stomach action and for its antiseptic effect upon mouth and throat.

Bex. Kudolph Smith was the first speaker. Having just returned from a speaking tour, he brought greetings from the South, where he said he had labored strenuously for the Universal Negro Improvement Association and for the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Co. Leaving New York about six weeks ago, he first visited Newark, where his campaign started and
where the people, though comparatively few in number, responded generously and made liberal contributions to the Black Cross Navigation Fund. Proceeding South, he visited the divisions, in Berkeley, Virginia: New Orleans, La.; Baton Rouge, La.; Natchez, Miss.; Memphis, Tenn., and Louisville, Ky. Throughout the South, Mr. Smith said, the people man-
Bored with antithesis toward the cause, and although of the present time they were passing through a rather trying economic crisis, they nevertheless contributed materially sometimes at great sacrifice to the funds for carrying on the work. We in the North, Mr. Smith said, do not fully realize the economic problems of the South. Negroes there are suffering more than ever before. They are being turned off the cotton fields and the sugar plantations and their places filled by white laborers, thus making conditions among the Negroes in the South rather deplorable in a financial way. The town of Natchens, Miss., said Mr. Smith, was particularly enthusiastic over the program of the U. N. I. A. There the people turned out in large numbers, both white and colored, and filled one of the largest churches, having a capacity of 1,500. Volumes of praise were accorded the work, which the organization was doing and the white people agreed that the U. N. I. A. was doing more for the Negro race than any other organization had done in the past fifty years.
Returning to New York, Mr. Smith said he visited the divisions in Gary, Ind., Indianapolis, Ind., and lastly Pittsburgh, Pa. In all these places the spirit of loyalty and devotion for the U. N. I. A. was manifested, and the people are standing by the hundreds and thousands fighting for the cause and prepared to do everything in their power to put over the program.
NeDroes Must Stand Together
Negroes must claim together.
This time has come, Mr. South declares, for Negroes everywhere to stand together under the banner of the Red, the Black and the Green. The Chinese, the Japanese and the Indians are more than ever banding themselves together and preparing themselves to fight if necessary in defense of their honor and repel any further invasion on the part of allen people upon their rights. It was time, therefore, for Negroes to follow, their example and get ready so that when the emergency arrives, they would be able to present a united and solid front. In America efforts were being made by the Ku Klux Klan to make things very hard for the Negro, and in the coming Presidential election the Ku Klux Klan from all indications was going to figure very conspicuously in whatever results that will be accomplished, and when the clans comes that while America turned its back on the Negro, we cannot look to China, we cannot look to India, we cannot look to Japan, we cannot look to Europe nor Central or South Africa, and it was gratifying to find from recent reports that the natives in South and Central Africa were preparing themselves to make a bid for black supremacy in Africa. In the north of Africa the Moroccan have whipped the Spaniards into submission, and in the fight for their rights they are supported by the Algerians. All Africa, Mr. Smith said, is now awake, and he added, that a white Englishman predicted just recently that in ten years the black people will come into their own in Africa. Black men have begun to realize that if they can fight the white man's battles on the battlefields of France and Flanders, so can they fight their own battles in the land of their forefathers—Africa. Black men from the East, black men from the West, black men from the North and South are coming together, 400,000,000,000, determined to put the program over.
HON. G. E. CARTER'S ADDRESS
Hon. G. E. Carter, Secretary-General, spoke from the subject, "It Is All in the Aim." He said: If you went out hunting large and ferocious animals and did not take proper aim and shoot the thing that was coming toward you, you would certainly lose. Suppose you went out hunting bears, and, though you had an excellent gun, you did not know where to hit that bear so as to stop him, you would be in a bad predicament. But the first-class hunter knows the vital spot and takes good aim and stops the bear. It is all in the aim. Suppose you are hunting lions; if you do not shoot the lion in a vital part of the body, that lion will get you. Suppose you are hunting the male elephant. He is coming toward you determined to destroy you, but there is one place about that elephant where a shot would stop him, however ferocious or angry he may be. It is all in the aim. If you aim right and hit the vital spot you may rest assured all will be well in the end.

Suppose you are playing in game of ball and in the practice you learn to manipulate the bat in such a way that in spite of the manner in which the ball is thrown you are able to strike that ball it is all in the aim. And I have said that to say that: If you are not aiming in the right direction in the Universal Negro Improvement Association you may be sure that the avalanche which is coming forward by leaps and bounds will overtake you and crush you to powder. But if your aim is right, if your vision is fixed, if your purpose is clear, if you understand the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and aim for the putting over of those principles, you may rest assured the world will understand and know you have shot in the right place.
You must understand and know and realize that if you are to put over this program you have got to do something more than in an individualistic manner. It must be on a co-operative basis. You cannot put this program over by yourself. It is no one man's job. It is too big for any one man, but many men have to combine their efforts, and these men have to be supported by the many. It is the job of the masses. It is a job in which the classes simply are supported by the masses, and through co-operation of the classes and the masses you will have that which will be beneficial to all concerned in the end. It is my message to you that you should have a right aim.
ATTORNEY VAN LOWE'S ADDRE68
Attorney Van Lowe, at the outset of his speech, congratulated the members of the New York Local on the splendid manner in which they had rallied to the support of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. The enemy had again been disappointed and the payment had been made. This success could not have been attained unless they had rallied to the fight as loyalty as they had.
Continuing, he said: The Secretary-General has made a very noble and very pertinent expression when he says that this is not one man's fight, not one man's battle. A certain amount of individualism, of course, may be all right, but the man that fights and fights with the others by his side, going on hand in hand, going on in unity, facing the enemy, caring not who gets the most credit or whoever gets the most compliments, is the man with the true aim. We are after victory and not compliments. We should have one thing before us, and that is victory. I do not want any praise at all. Whatever I do, it is my duty. I want to do my bit, and my bit is a duty, a duty that I give humanity, my duty in the body politic. It is a duty we all owe society.
Let us take for instance George Washington, when he was trying to free America from taxation without representation. There was George Washington fighting all he could, and there were a lot of those same American people who had an abhorrence of the oppression that the English had been heaping upon them, and in spite of the fact, although they were moaning and groaning under the load of English oppression, still when George Washington started to fight to free them, to give them liberty, to give them independence, instead of co-operating with him and fighting against their oppressors, some of them started to fight against him by joining the British colors. And what is true of the Americans is true of the Germans, is true of the Haitians, of the Irish, is true of the Indians and of all peoples. And so my friends, pay no attention to those around about you who would try to discourage you.
I believe the same as many others, and particularly the Hon. Marcus Garvey. His aim is just to help the masses caring not a row of pins what the others might say. Let us go forward facing the enemy with one fixed determination, so that when he sees you on even terms, when he comes to attack and sees you united and strong, he would quickly become submissive and then retreat, and victory will crown our efforts. (Applause).

Are YOU proud or ashamed of YOUR HAIR?
There is no longer need for you to have a scanty growth of short, harsh, wiry hair, which you must be ashamed of, when thousands of our leading and successful men and women, like Miss Hartley, are making their hair long, straight, glossy and beautiful using PLUKO Hair Dressing. You can get PLUKO HAIR DRESSING from your druggist or merchant in town or city.

Will Be Staged at Ho-Ho-Kua, New Jersey, Election Day
NEW YORK, Oct. 24—Hundreds and probably thousands of persons who have never heard of Ho-Ho-Kua, New Jersey, will get the chance to see what little town looks like when the Afro-American Automobile Association, of Chicago, IL, stages its gigantic automobile race meet at the automobile track there on Election Day, Nov. 4.
The feature event on the program will be the fifty-mile auto darby, in which twelve of the greatest speed wiards of our race will strive for honors in the fastest racing cars in this country. Among the cars to be used are Dusenberge and Frontenace (foreign), the Lewis Special, R. and B. Special, and last, but not least, the Headen Special, a car that was designed and constructed by L. A. Headen, a Chicago manufacturer, the only one of the Negro face in the world.
Among the drivers who are scheduled to compete will be Malcolm Hannon, winner of the Indianapolis, Ind., 100-mile event, and William Carson, winner of the more recent 100-mile Auto Derby in Chicago, Ill. Thirty-five hundred dollars in prizes will be split up among the contestants. The winner of the feature event will draw down $1,500. The second and third men will also receive substantial sums. This will be the first time in the history of the test where all the contestants in an automobile race will be members of the race. There will be one exciting event on the program, when the ladies line up for the five-mile ladies' race. The winner will be crowned the lady champion driver, because this will be the first time that our ladies will have ever competed in an event of this kind.
Ho-Jo-Kus is easily reached over the West 130th street ferry by taking the trolley on the New Jersey side which runs within three blocks of the track. Over the same ferry is the direct automobile route. Special trains will be run every hour from Jersey City, via the Erie Railroad. The promoters of this event have chartered 300 buses to carry the crowds over from Harlem for a nominal sum. Don't forget the auto races Electlon Day, Nov. 4. First event will start at 12 o'clock sharp.
Seeking Out of Cuba
Here is a question asked by a subscriber of The Negro World and an influential man in our community: "Why is it that the official visit of Hon. Rudolph Smith, Third Assistant President General, at the Ciego de Avila Division, No. 78, does not appear in The Negro World?" As I am unable to answer the question, I am taking an opportunity through your columns to crave an answer which would satisfy him.
I take this opportunity to ask the Ciego de Avila Division, No. 78, why is has not made a report of the official visit paid by Hon. Rudolph Smith during the month of July, this year, a question also asked me by one of the subscribers of The Negro World?
Note.—The Editor of The Negro World published every article that reached him concerning the official visit of Hon. Rudolph Smith.—Ed. The Negro World.
HOW TO GO TO HO-HO-KUS RACE TRACK: Motor bus every few minutes, 138th Street and Seventh Avenue, to 130th Street Ferry; take Hudson River line trolley. Special Erie trains from Jersey City.

Holding Open Forum for
Debate of Public Questions
by Candidates of the
Several Parties
Equity Congress met in regular session Sunday afternoon, October 19, at Eike's Hall, 163-64 West 199th street, second floor front. Speaker Bailey called the meeting to order and after routine business had been attended to, the session enjoyed most illuminating and instructive addresses by Lawyers Abraham Obenstein, and A. K. Apperson. Several other speakers of note also made short talks, commending the organization on the good work it is doing, and extending the hope that it might continue to grow, and prosper and enlarge the scope of its activities.
Many of the candidates now running for office in the various Harlem districts have been invited to attend next Sunday's meeting and make addresses, stating their policies, and the stand they will take on questions of importance to the community and the State if elected. It is expected that a large number of the candidates will avail themselves of this opportunity, and a roaming and enthusiastic session is anticipated. The public is cordially invited to be present. Admission absolutely free.
Equity Congress is interested in all phases of the public welfare, and is exerting its utmost efforts for the betterment of racial conditions in Harlem. It is accomplishing substantial results under the effective leadership of Speaker Charles H. Bailey, ably assisted by Mrs. Winston, the secretary of the organization, and Rev. E. M. Simmons, deputy speaker. Loyal support is being given by all members, and the influence of the Congress will be felt in decisive manner at the coming election, as the organization is working as a unit in the support of the candidates it has indorsed.
Certain disbuntled elements have endeavored to set up an organization under similar name, with the intent of deciphering the public into the belief that it is the real Equity Congress. Beware of those masqueraders. There is but one Equity Congress, duly incorporated under the laws of the State of New York, and its sessions are held each Sunday afternoon at the above address. The Congress will institute legal proceedings to prevent the unauthorized use of its incorporated name.
Cooperation of Mascio Bodies Advised
BOSTON, Mass. — An offer of "internal co-operation" was extended last Wednesday by the Supreme Council, A. A. S. R. Mascona, Northern Mascio Jurisdiction, in session in this city, to the United Supreme Council (Prince Hall Affiliation), representing Negro Mascio in the United States. Although no official recognition was adopted by the convention, the Supreme Council voted its policy of co-operation after hearing a report on the legal aspects of the situation arising from the similarity in names of the two organizations which assisted until recently. The United Supreme Council changed its name in order to distinguish it from the organization meeting here. In appreciation of this action and to put itself on record for racial toleration the council decided to adopt an attitude of co-operation, which was generally felt would be advantageous both for the Negroes and the community at large. The work of the two organizations is said to be approximately the same, and the colored fraternity, which is chartered in Pensylvania, is a large and prosperous organization, having members. In all of the Northern States. Philadelphia is the Grand East for this organization.
A suit has been filed in the United States District Court at New Orleans, La., in an effort to court Walter L. Cohen from the office of Comptroller of Customs, to which he was appointed by President Coelidge.
It is charged in the suit that he cannot hold the high Federal office to which President Coolidge appointed him in recognition of his ability to hold such an office, on the ground that "he is a person of African blood and descent," and, therefore, cannot be a citizen of the United States.
The suit attacks the validity of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which gave Negroes the right to vote. Attorneys filing the suit say that three-fourths of the states did not ratify the amendment as required by the Constitution, and that it was not adopted by the required two-thirds vote of both houses of Congress.
It is an interesting fact that one of the attorneys who filed the suit is a former attorney of Washington, D. C., whose license to practice was rescinded there, and who later made his home in Atlanta, while another attorney is a lawyer from Lynchburg, Va. It is as well an interesting fact that the suit was filed in New Orleans, in a Democratic State.
The appointment of Cohen by a Republican President and the attempt to oust Cohen and invalidate the Fourteenth Amendment in a Democratic State by Democrats is one of the most recent instances of the widely different attitude of the two great parties rela-
Wedding Bells Chime for Young U. N. I. A. Workers KELLY-MILLER
On Sunday, October 12, at 3 p. m., St. Augustine's Protestant Episcopal Church, Marcy and Lafayette avenues, Brooklyn, of which the Rev. George F. Miller is pastor, was the scene of a very pretty wedding.
The contracting parties were Mr. Multon Kelly and Miss Ethel Henrietta Miller, both of Brooklyn. Miss Miller is the daughter of Mrs. Catherine Turner Miller, and the late Mr. James Thomas Miller, of Trinidad, B. W. I. She is a member of the East Brooklyn Chapter of the U. N. I.

Professor Allan Carr lapply from Trinidad, presided at the organ. Mr. Henry A. Turner, uncle of the bride, acted as her sponsor, while Mr. Charles K. Kelly, brother of the groom, was best man. Miss Irene Miller, sister of the bride, acted as maid of honor. Other bridesmaids were Miss Sarah Woodley, Miss Ruth Watson and Miss S. Smith. Little Miss McNell and Miss Smith were flower girls, and Master Herbert Sherwood, page boy, carrying the ring on a soft cushion.
The ushers were Messrs. Herman A. Miller, chief usher and director; S. Miller, H. Miller, M. D. Miller, Wm. R. Miller, Frank Folks, S. Dalrymple and L. Dillon.
Among the guests were, Rev. Samuel E. Moore, Mrs H. A. Miller, Mrs W. R. Miller, Miss Rosa Brown, Mr. A. Waith, Miss L. Keey, sister of the bridegroom; Mrs G.

WASHINGTON, Oct.-The United States attorney at New Orleans has been instructed by the Department of Justice to proceed with the defense of the suit brought by H. Edwin Bolte, who seeks to enjoin Walter L. Cohen, Negro Comptroller of Customs at New Orleans, from discharging the duties of that office.
There was a conference here today between Comptroller Cohen and Perry W. Howard, special assistant to the attorney general, who consulted with C. Bascom Slemp, Secretary to President Coolidge and officials of the Treasury Department and the Department of Justice. The result was that the government assumed the defense

New York Tuberculosis Assn. And Harlem Dental Clinic.
An auxiliary to the North Harlem dental clinic, composed of thirty public-spirited women of Harlem, was organized Oct. 10 at the office of the Harlem tuberculosis committee, 302 West 189th street. The officers elected at this meeting were: Miss Eunice Hunter, chairman; Mrs. Mabel Doyle Kenton, secretary, and Miss Mabel Bickford, treasurer.
Dr. Joseph Joffer of Vanderbilt clinic, who is acting in the capacity of consulting dentist to the new clinic, spoke to the members of the auxiliary on the importance and need for the work which the dental clinic is now carrying on. He laid stress upon the fact that diseased or neglected teeth lead very

In order to aid the Christmas seals sale conducted by the Harlem tuberculosis committee of the New York Tuberculosis Association, watch takes place between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the members of the dental clinic auxiliary will later organized themselves into a senior seals sale auxiliary. Since the Harlem dental clinic is maintained by funds realized from the seals sale, the auxiliary is anxious that the sale of Christmas seals "go over big," so that this vitally important health work may be continued.
The members of the North Harlem dental clinic auxiliary who organised yesterday are: Mrs. Ernst Alexander, Mrs. J. R. Anderson, Mrs. Payton Anderson, Miss Mabel Bickford, Mrs. Elna Boutte, Mrs. E. E. Best, Mrs. Justin Bell, Miss Mabel Byrd, Mrs. I.

Professor Francis Bean, of Columbia University, and curator at the American Museum of Natural History, in an article entitled "The Question of Race Purity," published in the American Mercury for October, attacks the doctrines of race inferiority and race superiority and asserts that science has yet seen no proof that any race is superior to any other.
"I insist," writes Professor Boas, "that nobody has ever given satisfactory proof of an inherent inequality of races, and that the final solution of this problem still has to be found."
Professor Boas finds, that people of different races can adjust themselves about equally well to varying climates, and to different kinds of task, although there will be great variation among the individuals of any group. "The claim made for the superiority of pure races has never been substantiated," writes Professor Boas. "As I have pointed out, the purity of any given racial type is a debatable question, and the claim that only extreme types are pure is founded on a misconception."
Concerning the prejudice against Negroes in America, Professor Boas writes:
"It is particularly worth remarking that the current unfavorable opinion of the Negro is based largely on complete ignorance of African native con-
biodiversity in the world, the appearance of indigenous animals and especially in the white world, which they occupate in the power of human intellect and philosophy. We may say, with certainty that the types of a single race like the European are such as varieties that form evolutionary differences in mental characteristics between the types in a whole are most unlikely. We may say, furthermore, that cultural anthropology makes the existence of fundamental racial differences very improbable."
WASHINGTON, D. C. — Recognition of Dean George W. Cook's connection with Howard University, covering a period of fifty years dating from October 7, 1874, was taken by the officers and students of the university at the noonday chapel exercises on Tuesday of this week. President Durkee, in fitting terms, referred to the long-continued connection of Dean Cook with the university as student, teacher, as secretary, and now as dean of the School of Commerce and Finance, and to the spirit of service which has prevailed throughout all of the years of his connection with the university. Dean Cook made a very feeling reply to President Durkee's remarks and thanked the assembly for the ovation which greeted the president's remarks regarding his long connection with the

numerous special measures the Negro community of the best minds of the Negro social movement.
The Negro World believes that the race problem like all other problems will be worked out family for the greatest good of all, provided each one does his full duty in striving to prevent it from being worked out against his best interests. It is largely a personal matter. The most persons there are who work together in a compact organization, like the Universal Negro Improvement Association, for the common good of all the members, the more likely are they to succeed in a large way in helping themselves most effectively.
HELPING TO FINANCE THE PARTY OF YOUR CHOICE
THE Republican National Committee has worked out a scheme by which those Negroes who desire the election of Coolidge and Dawes may do so by contributing through an auxiliary finance committee of their own race. It is an interesting departure and one worthy of encouragement. If you believe in a party and its candidates and expect to share in such good things as victory wins, the reasonable thing to do is to back up your party loyalty and your expectations by your contribution, great or small, to defray the necessary expenses of the campaign.
It has come about that it takes a great deal of money to finance the campaign of any party or candidate. Those who help bear the expenses stand higher in the estimation of the party and the candidates than those who do not. That is reasonable, and that is why so many special interests get undue advantages in legislation. They have contributed heavily to campaign expenses in order that their special interests may be favored and protected. You may say that is all wrong and contrary to sound public morals, and, we say it, is, but we also say that much that is right is wrong, and much that is wrong is right, simply because law and custom allow of it.
Much of the bad condition in politics which has fallen to the lot of the Negro people is involved in this principle of asking much of the party and giving little in return, in a campaign, in a financial way. Those who have nothing to give and always want others to give them something are put on the charity list and after a white, when the joke has gone far enough, they become a nuisance and are stricken from the charity list. That happened to the politicians of the race, beginning in 1876, and came up for judgment in the Taft administration, reaching its climax in the administration of President Harding.
President Coolidge promises to restore the race to its former political status, as far as this can be reasonably done, and our politicians are banking on the promise. Contributing to the financing of the campaign in cash will go a long way towards enabling him to do so in part if not wholly. The political status of the race is bad enough in all conscience, and needs rehabilitation. That will depend largely upon our politicians, who have been bad and mercenary enough and can well afford to be better and more self-sustaining in matters of cash given for party success.
BRITISH MAKING WAR ON MIXED RACE RELATIONS
THE British Government has grown very sensitive over the outspoken independence of its African subjects against the policy of using them as subjects simply to exploit them, without giving them any voice in their government or adequate return for the labor exacted of them by favored monopolists of the resources of their countries, or for the exorbitant taxation everywhere imposed upon them to support the overlordship of them. There may be some who will claim that this indictment is entirely too sweeping. If it be so The Negro World is in no wise responsible. The native and European newspapers published in the West Indies, in Australia, in East India and in Africa, are responsible. We read them and get our information and draw our conclusions.
It appears to be the British policy nowhere to govern subject peoples for the benefit of those people, but for the officeholders and the traders, who work hand in hand to get out of the subjects all that is of value and to give them the least in service. A policy of this character is bound to provoke the despair and desperation of the conquered and ruled. God knows that The Negro World would that the policy were tempered more with the Christian doctrine of brotherhood-and fair play. As it is otherwise, no alternative than to resist it, and counsel others to resist it, is left.
Just now, in buttressing this policy, there appears to be a concerted movement in Great Britain and its colonists everywhere to cry out against the disposition of white officials and traders to "take up" with the women of the countries they rule and exploit, and to denounce the tendency to marry such women and to ostracise the white men who contract such alliances, and to make life a horror for the children of such unions. The urge to preserve the race type is strong in all races; so is the urge to contract clandestine relations with "strange women," and to leave the children to be cared for by the unfortunate mothers. We all know that the dumb creatures are more humane to the young up to the age of understanding than the articulate creatures whose morals we are discussing and condemning. Creatures that have no parental sympathy for their females and the offspring of them are too low in their morality to kick. The law and public opinion that sanctions such a condition is brutality run mad. We have too much of it even in the United States, where the alleged Nordics are making war on all other race groups of the citizenship.
We have just been reading an article in the Empire News by Sir John Foster Fraser, and another in the Evening Chronicle by Lillie Ross Clyne, the purpose of both writers-being to discourage the marriage of British white women to Africans and East Indians, because of the horrible social and legal consequences to both contracting parties. That is in Great Britain itself, and when the contracting parties return to the home country of the husband. When the white man "takes up with the strange woman," or marries her in his own country, and takes lier to his home country, they have the same social and legal horrors to deal with. Both races have helped to make the problem by a century or more of illicit relations, with but few marriages, and if the problem has returned to plague its guilty authors, it is no more than they should have figured on when making it.
WHENEVER the African natives make any expression or movement in favor of Africa for the Africans, the British authorities at once become greatly alarmed and promptly begin offensive operations against the rebels, as they are considered. They strive to maintain their domination of the natives by a show of armed force rather than the soft answer that turneth away wrath and the kindness that disarms vindictiveness. Experience has not taught this to be the better way. The efforts to make it appear to be so has fallen down flat upon its face in the Southern States of the United States, in the West Indies, in Africa, everywhere where it has been adopted and enforced. You cannot elevate people by degrading them; you cannot make friends of people by trying to force them to love and respect you. But the white races appear not to understand the principle as Jesus taught them through Paul. Jumhil Bengula, a staff correspondent of the New York Evening Bulletin at Cape Town, South Africa, under date of October 13, sent that newspaper the following:
Independent African chiefs have just sent a strong remonstrance to the South African Parliament protesting against the action of British armed forces that have precipitated war in Uganda just because a militant has been formed in that African state to work for a separate Africa.
The question was chosen at a convention that was attended by 124 representatives of different black African states. A British spy was caught while attempting to impersonate one of the Abyssinian delegates. Liberia was represented by George Johnson, a former resident of Harlem, New York.
There is expectation that some support will be received from a few of the members of the Afrikander party in the South African parliament, partly for South African nationalist reasons.
Free Arica for free Africans! The sentiment is growing among the tribesmen of Africa, because contact with white Europeans has taught them that they are no gods but demons, that they can expect no freedom, no independence, no adequate protection of life and wage and property, from white men. Experience has taught them that much.
Think of it, readers of The Negro World. 124 African chiefs protest against British armed force in Uganda and register their protest with the South African Parliament! That means much. The British do not like the movement of Africa for Africans and the 124 native chiefs do not like the British method of meeting their movement. What, then? When free men protest tyrants had better listen. History teaches us that much! The 124 African chiefs are free men. Machine guns cannot silence them. They contend for what the Universal Negro Improvement Association contends. Mark that.
NOW YOU SEE IT AND NOW YOU DON'T
WRITER in the Christian Science Monitor has the Nordic fever badly, but no more so than others who are afflicted with the Nordic chill. The one sees the Negro overrunning the land as the locusts overran Egypt, while the other sees the Negro boring in and eating himself up because he has no increase from anywhere, while the other race groups are being reinforced from all directions, although the latest immigration restrictions have got both sorts guessing. Neither side appears to give any thought to the fact that race problems have vexed mankind since we have record and are likely to continue to do so to the end of the chapter. A lot of people imagine that race problems, like other problems, are made in heaven and worked out on earth, while another lot imagine that they are made on earth and worked out in heaven.
The wise poet has told us that "there is a divinity that shapes our ends, rough hew them as we may."
The writer in the Christian Science Monthly says: "It is not a question of race prejudice; it is a question of common sense consideration of the practical state of affairs in the present development of human belief. In the highest state, of course, in the absolute, there is neither Jew nor Gentile, African nor Caucasian, but unless one wishes the amalgamation of the black and the white races in America, the proportionate increase of Negro population is a serious problem, and should be seriously and frankly considered."

With a certain guero, which is natural if not wholly justified, the Richmond Times-Dispatch comments on a threatened lynching in the streets of New York city. A man was barely saved from hanging at the hands of a mob, infuriated by his wanton assault on his own wife and daughter. The pleasure with which the Richmond paper records this incident is obviously born of sectional pride; the lynching spirit had flared up in the very times of more of the professional and politicalouth-baiters, then, any other city in the world. And it takes particular delight in painting out it on the

and a constant entry of European immigrants. Such an
same day the Richmond Chamber of Commerce was adopting resolutions expressing its sorrow at the death of a colored citizen of Richmond and its feeling that "He passing, is a heavy blow to this city in which he had spent his entire life." Far from recounting this display of acorn for Northern lawlessness and pride at Southern tolerance, the Nation is happy to record it. The more Southern patriotism comes to be identified with an effort to prove the South humane and humbly, the better for all of us. The spread of the Khan has shown how contiguous militant lawlessness can become, in the North and South alike. Perhaps a spirit of sympathetic tolerance on this ship will spur us far and far.
WE MAY FORGET THE SINGER BUT WE CAN'T THE SONG By T. Thomas Fortune
A race which has no history written by its members; a race which has no literature, written by its own members—such a race is poor indeed. A writer once said, "Let me write the songs of a people and who can may write their laws," or words to that effect. Another writer has said, "We may forget the singer but we can't forget the song." There is much truth in both sayings.
An old Indian was asked what he thought of the dime novels, the blood and thunder literature of the wild and woolly West, which had the right of way some forty years ago, in which the white man always killed the Indian just before he had scalped the white man. The old Indian grunted and replied in the short way Indians have, "White man write 'em; white man read 'em."
That is very true, but the old Indian could not see far enough through the blank spaces of his arrested development that the white man who wrote, made the white man who read see the Indian as the white man pictured him. The Indian wrote no history for himself, and the white man who has done it for him has done it from the viewpoint of the white and not the red man. The red man is a sealed book, a dead race, with only a remnant lingering in the overlapping civilization which he does not understand and which confuses when it does not amuse him. Where he came from, what he thought, what he accomplished—he did not make a literature for himself, therefore, when he finally sinks forever down the Western incline of the world his coming and going will be wrapped in as much mystery as that of the dead races of mythology. If they had left us one great poem we could afford to forget the singer of it.
When I was a young man I used to urge such of our men as Prof. Peter H. Clark, Dr. John P. Sampson, Mr. John Mercer Langston, and Prof. Richard Theodore Greener, and others who had had touch with the life of the race before the Civil War, "when knighthood was in flower," and in other things, to write their experiences, which constituted so much history, unwritten history, which will not now be written, because they have passed on into the shadows out which they come not who go in. I wanted them to write their experiences for the newspaper I then published, but they were locked up, arrested in their development, and could not answer to the call. The race is vastly poorer because it was so with them. Every magist is a history of his times. If he does not write it what he knows dies with him.
But the Negro is beginning to write his own history, to sing his own song, to make his own literature as he sees himself and others. He began way back yonder to do so, but only in a slow and cautious way, and he has grown but slowly. The literature he has made, however, and to which he is adding in a splendid way in our times, will give, as we go along, to the race the place it should have among the thinkers, the intellectual masters who rule the world—rule it in its statesmanship, its preachers, its literature.
Attorney J. H. Stewart, President of Washington Div., Claimed by Death
At a meeting of Washington Division No. 183, U. N. I. A., held in the city of Washington, D. C., Tuesday, October 14, 1924, the following preamble and resolution was unanimously adopted and ordered to be placed upon the records and a copy sent to the family;
Whereas, it has pleased the Disposer of all events suddenly to remove from this life Sunday, October 12, 1924, at 2 p. m., our president, Joseph H. Stewart, Esq., who has been for the last three years a member and president of this division, U. N. I. A., No. 183; therefore be it
Resolved, That in the death of Joseph H. Stewart, president of Washington, U. N. I. A., No. 183, has lost one of its most judicious and efficient members, the city one of its worthiest and most accomplished residents, the profession of law one of its ornaments.
Resolved, That we tender the family of the deceased our unaffected sympathy and condolence in this their most afflicted bereavement; that as a tribute of respect to the member of our lamentate associate and president—a tribute demanded alike by his eminent private and public spirit—we will in a body attend the funeral solemnization, which are to take place this day.
Dreamed bright dreams of happiness, all nummed with vague unrest;
Owl the scribe years of waiting, half in sorrow, half in joy.
The unfoldment of the filen, pure white filen in His breast!
Lo! Christ today triumphant; and your own new day at dawning;
But I wonder—will your "taken," echo, Jesus' kind and true!—
"Forgive them, God, this Spectral Cross, the hillside's fearful spawning,
them in joy and importance, all they know not what they do!"
EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS
But Negroes must require of their political leaders the exercise of more brains and less selfishness in their political maneuvering. For in fact the real test is not the Republican party but the Negro leader in the Republican party. This new Negro knows that parties GIVE no more than they have to give, and that is precious little. And leaders get no more than they have brains and character enough and backing enough to get. Up to the present Negro political leaders have not been too strong on these three elements. Today we believe they are somewhat improved. If they stand for the race, the race will stand for them and will force the party to do something—Christian Recorder.
And yet the 'race press does not receive the support it should. It is rendering a service that will some day be appreciated at its full value. Our Methodist friends are right. "Every self-respecting Negro should subscribe for and read a Negro newspaper. There should be a Negro newspaper in every Negro home." Not only this, but white people who keep in touch with the thought, aspirations and achievements of our people should read our newspapers. An increasing number each year does.—Omaha Monitor.
Your money is the only thing that can keep you independent. It alone can save you from the worst fever of modern life—poverty, dependence, the humiliation of trying in old age and under adverse conditions to make up for the folly of youth. Deny yourself now. Make the effort of will that is necessary and save yourself suffering and humiliation in the future.—Rocky Mount Voice.
Republicans hold to a certain position, and seek to justify it by argument, usually accepted as political Democrats take a position and employ the usual arguments commonly accepted as political. It is the justification of position that is sought by any party.—Pittsburgh Courier.

135th Street Library Notes
Art Exhibit—Special Notice—The general exhibit of work by Nogro artists held annually in the library will be replaced this year by a series of exhibits by individual artists. One has already been held of the work of Mr. M. Farrow, of Chicago. Mr. James Wells is now giving an exhibit on the third floor of the library. It is hoped that Mr. E. D. Braxton will follow with an exhibit on the main floor. Artists who have sufficient material for an individual exhibit and would like to show their work will please communicate with the library. Miss Marion P. Watson has charge of these exhibits, and working with her is a committee of local and other artists and art patrons. Boys' Reading Club—All boys between twelve and fifteen years of age, who are interested in reading and discussing books together in debating and giving plays, should join the boys' reading club at the 135th street-branch library.
The club plans to make trips, during the fall and winter, to places of historical and literary interest in the city, and through reading, acting and debating, gain a wider knowledge of books and the people who write them. The club leader will be pleased to talk to any boy who is interested and tell him about the winter's work. English Classes.—Lessons in "Beginning English" have been offered by the Board of Education free to the public, provided that thirty people apply. Leave your name and address at the library with Mrs. Latimer, who will give any further information desired.
Special Service for Students.—Attention is again called to the service offered by the Readers' Bureau, of the library, to individual students and reading clubs. Special service will be rendered in the making up of lists or planning of reading courses. Call at the library and make your wishes known.
The funds of our group must be pooled, so that our group will be able to finance the immense structures being constructed by us. The other races have been willing to a degree to assist us in buying homes, but they are not showing a disposition to advance large some of money for us to build churches, office buildings, hospitals, theaters and apartment houses. We must pursue the capital to build these edifices. Strengthen our financial institution by increased deposits on us to be prepared for the industrial era that our group is rapidly approaching.

It is as true, today as over that it is better that ninety and nine guilty persons go unpunished than that one innocent person should be punished, especially done to death by a mob. The courts and the jury system constitute one of the greatest bulwarks of our liberty and security. Mob law is a grave menace to the safety and security of incessant persons.—Columbus Standard.
We now have more government machinery and officialism than is safe and good for the country. That is to say, we now have too much government not only at Washington but at most of the State capitals of the country.—Norfolk Journal and Guide.

The Care of the Pneumonia Patient
Every patient suffering, from pneumonia must be given complete rest that is, he must be put to bed and must not leave his bed for any reason whatsoever. If he be extremely ill, he must be denied the eleightest, disturbance which may be caused by the entrance to his room by some one not concerned with his care. There must be no worry, no consultation with him regarding business affairs; there must be no talkative visitors or indeed any visitors allowed in his room.
The slightest turning of the body lifting of the head, or movement concerned in attending to the bodily functions, must be made through the medium of a nurse, not the patient. The taking of food should be done through a glass drinking tube or the patient should be fed by the attendant. Everything from the elimination of a wrinkle in the sheets or the blanket, to the change of position of the patient must be thought of and done by the nurse that the patient may have perfect comfort. Comfort is sometimes the deciding factor in the end result of a pneumonia case.
If possible, the patient should be outdoors on the sleeping porch in order to have the benefit of "live air." Even in the room in which several windows are open, the patient does not get the same relief from the fresh air as he would wore he outdoors in the moving air. Consider the patient's lungs are affected and anything, which makes breathing easier or which stimulates the intake of a greater amount of oxygen is helping to overcome the handicap. If the patient is fortunate enough to have outdoor treatment, then the nursing care is more than ever important, for he must be watched as a hawk watches a bird, lost he move his blankets away or do some little thing which may bring about chilling.
Outdoor treatment, while it involves greater care and more attention, will frequently be the cause of before heart action, less difficult breathing and a generally improved condition. If you have a friend or relative who is being treated for pneumonia, do not be alarmed if you discover that the doctor and the nurse are giving him outdoor or open window treatment. Instead, he gives that you have such wise medical advice.

As an enthusiastic meeting of the local division of the U. N. L. A., held at People's Methodist Episcopal Church, of this city, Monday evening, October 18, 1924, Mrs. Marcus Garvey charmed a large and appreciative audience with the clear and concise, and yet forceful presentation of her message: setting forth anew the aims and objects of this wonderful organization that has brought such bright hopes to the teeming millions of Negro peoples throughout the world. Time and again, Mrs. Garvey was interrupted by hearty applause as she delivered her stirring message in typical "Garvey Fashion." The local division, which had been practically inactive for some time, has taken on new life, all of which is primarily due to the visit of Mrs. Garvey to this city.
Dr. L. E. Moore, a practicing physician and head of the Lincoln Sanatorium of this city, was present, and followed the address very closely, and so completely captivated was he by the forceful presentation of the message, that, at the close of the address, he handed in his membership to the U. N. L. A., and made this public statement:
"I am delighted to have had the pleasure of listening to this impromptu talk by Madam Garvey. I've heard Messrs. William Sherrill and G. O. Marke's presentation of the program of the U. N. L. A., as well as that of the Hon. Mr. Garvey. I liked the present-

"Glands Awakened in One Day" is the Amazing Statement of a Seventy-six-Year-Old Veteran.
Lost vigor, deadened glands and wounds, worn-out, depressed and half-alive feeling heed 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 remain the "vital force of youth," and this is what makes mulia the amazing statement of one who has taken the treatment. This famous discovery is bringing "recovered youth" and "strength" to thousands where everything else had failed.
"I want to say that my lost vigor was restored and glands restored," Peake of Kansas City, Mo. "Today I am 16. But I don't feel a day over 40.

Ms. Golde discovered of such a boon to humanity.

wilder appeal for more race pride and consciousness, the most hard-hearted doubling Thomas would change his views. I am, now, thoroughly in accord with the principles of the U. N. I. A., and I believe the bringing together of our people, discussing, as does the U. N. I. A., the problem of the Negro, whether he be British French or American, is worth the dues paid, if nothing more is accomplished. The U. N. I. A. would do well to put Madam Garvey on its "speaking list." Though a number of us belonging to other associations have, perhaps, unjustly criticised Garvey, we must take off our hats to him and acknowledge that he has done more to create race consciousness than any other Negro in America. Here's hoping that the U. N. I. A. will carry on.

On Sunday, the 17th of September last, a grand mass meeting was held by the Clero de Avil División, Brunel No. 18 of the U. N. L. A. The Liberty Hall was packed to its utmost capacity. The meeting was called to urge by the secretary, secretary of the Division in the people of Ms. M. B. Kerval, who was asking for the president during his absence. The opening ode, from Greenland's Ice Mountain, was sung, followed by prayer.
The following program was rendered: "Address" by Mr. R. Weby, "Our New Shipping Concern," pointing out to his listeners our great need of ships. He put special stress on the duty of all Negroes to support so worthy a cause. "Address" by Mr. T. H. Carbone. Song by the choir. Address by Mr. C. R. Brown, who very eloquently explained the aims and objects of the U. N. I. A.
We had as a visitor the Hon. Dr. Betruan, one of the highest judges in Cuba. He was presented to the audience by Mr. C. E. Brown, who spoke in Spanish and who told us of the doctor's mission. Dr. Betruan appealed to all of the members and friends of the division to uphold the doctrines of the U. N. I. A. and help in redeeming Africa. He said that he could assist in getting all English speaking people in his community to become members, but it would cost each member $1.50 per month to help him to keep a section of the hospital for the English speaking patients (who would probably, later become members) in and around Ciego de Avilla.
The choir then offered another selection and the meeting was brought to a close by the singing of the national anthem.

This division held a grand meet meeting on Sunday evening, August 11 at 3 o'clock, for the program of celebrating the national holiday of the Negroes of the world. There was present a very large gathering of people and the charismatic manifested in that celebration were commendable and well encouraging, and have never been since the organization of the division, Mr. A. O. Waite, who acted in the double capacity of chairman and chaplain, called the meeting to order, and to the accompaniment of the brass band which was in attendance all rose and joined in the slaging of the opening ode, "From Greenland's Jey Mountains." Prayer was then offered by the chaplain and an appropriate Scripture lesson read from the Acts of the apostles, 25th chapter.
The chaplain's sermon was taken from the 18th verse of the chapter reading, "O King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly calling." The speaker in his usual manner pointed out the three different callings of Saint Paul: First the call from darkness to light, second the call to service, and third the call to higher service. He said that in like manner the Honorable Marcus Garvey was called and brought to bear the burden of leadership of this race. His audience was interested in his discourse from start to finish. Indeed, it was a real masterpiece. The program opened with a duet, "They are waiting to welcome us there," by Miss R. Moore and another, which was well applauded. Next was a recitation by Baby Ingleton, three years old, entitled "Let's Put It Over." Then followed the reading of the President-General's message on the front page of The Negro World by the secretary, Mr. R. A. Vernel. Next was the hymn, "Shine On, Eternal Light," accompanied by the brass band, after which Mr. Daniel E. Allen, our noble coworker, delivered an encouraging appeal to go forward until the goal was finally reached. The following part formed the program:
Recitation by Miss S. Henry; recitation by Miss A. Flowers, "Advice to Young Men"; quartet, Mrs. M. Ingleton and others; recitation by Mister Hector Johnson; duet by Miss H. Thompson and another; address by Dr. D. E. Thorpe, which was delivered in a very eloquent manner; song by Mr. Bob Forest, "We Are Going Home to Liberla"; address by Mr. Hill, a representative from the San Juan chapter, who pleaded for Negroes to rally to the cause of the U. N. L. A.; song by Mrs. Walker; recitation by Miss Rose Ingleton, who spoke in glowing terms of her enthusiasm towards the great cause and her willingness to assist in putting the great program over; song by Mr. Bob Forest; a collection was taken up, during which time the band played the U. S. Boy Scouts March"; recitation by Master A. Relinford; recitation by Miss V. Johnson; selection by Miss Ethel Bennett, "When Garvey Comes"; address by Mr. George Goldburn, who expressed his satisfaction of so large a gathering and said he hopes for a bigger time in the division; recitation by Master Hector Johnson; song by Miss B. Moore; recitation by Master G. Patch; selection by Miss Henry, "Take My Hand and Lead Me, Father"; address by Dr. J. P. Bentillon vice-chairman of the division, who spoke on "Masterly Terms"; selection by the band, which was beautifully rendered; solo by Miss Holland; solo by Mrs. F. Henry; solo by Mrs. Moore.
The chafirman arose and thanked the audience heartily for the pathogen they had exhibited and the spirit with which they had so liberally contributed to the cause.
We owe much to Miss Moore, Mrs Wilson, Miss Griffiths, Mrs Ingleton, Mr. D. E. Allen and to our noble organist, Miss France, who displayed her great ability in the operation of that instrument. Special mention must also be made of our juror organist, Miss Diana Kelly, who did a noble part. We also take very great pleasure in mentioning Mr. P. Johnson who requested the chairman to have a certain song repeated. That song was composed and sung by Mr. Bob Forest, in honor of the Hon Maries Harvey, and after having been repeated several times it so enlured the audience that several dollars were added to the collection, and great applause rang through the hall when Mr. Johnson, who specifically requested the repetition, gave $6.25 in addition to the collection. The chairman thanked the many kind friends and members for contributing so liberally and begged that the same spirit be continued. The meeting was brought to a close with the staging of the anthem.

Martin. Solos by Mrs. Barnett from the Bocus division No. 44 and Mrs. Susan Edwards. Song by Dr. West, entitled "Garvey is Our Leader."
After a well selected program was ended the President Mr. N. Burke brought the meeting to a close with the singing of hymn No. 4 from our ritual, "The Day Thou Gavest Lord is Ended." Benediction was offered followed by the National anthem.

On August 24, 1924, the Akron Division of the N. N. L. A. held its regular meeting which was called to order by the vice-president, Mr. Auto.
Many members and friends came out which naturally resulted in a crowded house. They all rejoiced over the purchasing of a new ship for our race, which is to fly the Red, Black and Green. The program was excellent. Among the speakers favorable mention must be made of the Rev. Smillet of this division. He made an inspiring speech, which he illustrated by means of a sketch.
Rev. Wheeler, not yet a member, gave an interesting talk which held the audience spellbound.
Our chaplain, Rev. C. C. Hubbard, also spoke. The children did well in their contribution to the program.
The members of this division were rallying to the call of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. They are inspired to help to their utmost to put over the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. In spite of obstacles, the African division is thriving and living up to our motto, "One God, One Aim, One Destiny." The meeting was missed by our chaplain.

UNIVERSAL NEGRO POLITICAL UNION FOR BENEFIT OF ALL MEMBERS
OF THE
The time has come when the Negro must defend the honor and political reputation of his race. For long, and sorrowfully so, the selfish Negro politician has sold our race for a mess of pottage. We have been called upon by crafty Negro newspaper men and other political jobbers to vote for Mr. So-and-So, to the injury of the race and the enrichment of the Negro political grafter who sells his services for dollars and not principles. The old gang of Negro politicians has sold the race for ready cash and jobs for a few. The time has come to call a halt. We will vote for and support men for election to office, not for payment in dollars, but for principles and policies. If you receive pay for your vote, directly or indirectly through our so-called political leaders, then we may expect nothing in return, but when you vote for candidates because of principles and politics, then you have all to gain. The old Negro politician is crooked and self-seeking. He has no character and no soul. He sells the vote of his race for money. He doesn't of himself subscribe to party funds, but he hankers after what he can get from the campaign funds subscribed by others to sell the Negro's vote. The Negro must learn to support his own political principles or policies, not only with his vote, but with his money; hence, the Universal Negro Political Union supports candidates at its own cost and doesn't ask for financial return. Ninety-nine and one-half percent of the old Negro politicians who are now serving in the campaign are paid parrots who have no opinion of their own, but who are selling their conscience and vote for the highest prices. For one price they start out Republican and for a higher price in a fortnight they are something else. Everybody has found out that the old Negro politician is tricky and deceitful and nobody will believe him. He cannot handle a dollar straight.
We vote no longer under his instruction, but under the leadership of the Universal Negro Political Union. Let every Negro register and vote on the 4th of November for principles, policies and faithful men who are friends of our race.
The four million members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in America are being directed by the Universal Negro Political Union to vote for and follow the candidates and individuals we have recommended. Vote for and follow every one of the men we support, for they are tried and true friends of the race.
No true member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will fail to cast his vote on the 4th of November for the men of our choice.
Don't follow the old type Negro politician; he will sell you into slavery again.
UNIVERSAL NEGRO POLITICAL UNION
WILLIAM L. SHERRILL G. E. CARTER Leader, American Negroes, and Chairman Secretary
one of the independence of Africa by her lost sons and daughters, this work of the organization of this direction will be the only means of saving the Negro race eventually. The members of this great group feel that it is their duty to work despite dreadful odds, until Africa is rehabilitated as the national homeland of all Negroes, and to vast natural resources exploited by black men for the-benefit of their own race.
Quite recently the government of South Africa gave out a report that the whites were being crowded out, and made an appeal for more white settlers. The Colorado Springs Gazette, in an editorial comment on the statement, has given us much food for thought when it states:
"Those who have thought about it at all were generally under the impression that the white population in Africa was increasing.
"Coincidentally, the black race has been losing ground in the United States. Some predict the total extinction of the Negro in America within the course of a century or so. The white man is given twenty-five years more in South Africa.
"Both predictions are based on census figures, which naturally do not control the future. The past is more favorable to the Negro in America than to the white man in Africa, but future possibilities favor the whites in Africa. Whereas the Negro must depend upon his birth rate to increase his representation in this country, as Negro immigration will always be restricted, all Africa is open to white immigration and the future development of that continent may precipitate an influx of whites guaranteeing the perpetuation of white dominance."
As far as the extinction of the Negroes in America is concerned this is a matter that we should not pass over lightly, because we are not a race of employers but of employees, and when a people cannot employ their own and take care of themselves economically, they must be prepared at any time to be refused employment by those who are not interested in them. And when people are out of work, in due time they must starve and die. This is the method that will be used to relieve this country of its Negro population, if we do not make plans and carry them out to frustrate the designs of those who work for our extinction in America. Africa may be opened to white emigrants to foster the program of white predominance; but black men are determined that come what may. Africa must be for the Africans, those at home and those abroad. The editorial of the Colorado Springs Gazette closed with the following appeal to the white man: "The situation in South Africa as presented by the government is the warning that forearms and should stimulate the white man's exploitation of the natural resources of that country."
We bring the foregoing extracts to the attention of our readers to stimulate their efforts in the redemption of our motherland. If alien people can see the value of Africa to their future existence, how much more should Negroes feel the necessity of preserving the continent for their posterity. We have a sentimental feeling toward the homeland, our possession of its millions of square miles of rich territory will mean the placing of the race on an equal footing with the progressive nations of the world. With the possession of the material things that make nations fear nations, and men respect men, Negroes will then be able to live as men and restore the ancient glory of our forefathers. Africa is the natural home of the Negro, and caring not what plans nations make to rob Africa's treasures and exterminate her people, the Universal Negro Improvement Association swears by the blood of our enslaved ancestors and with the help of the omnipotent Father to redeem Africa for the scattered sons and daughters of Ethiopia.

To the Editor of the Women's Page.
I am a member of the U. N. I. A. and am interested in its program.
I can hardly wait for the arrival of The Negro World because it is the only paper that reveals the truth on all subjects. I enjoy the reading of your paper.
I want to compliment the Richmond Division for sending in the wonderful speech made in their Liberty Hall, "The Meek Shall Inherit the Earth." Truly, the reporter who sent in this speech and the way he introduced it is a poet himself, to say nothing of the speaker.
I would like to have been in Cincinnati, Ohio, when the monster parade was staged. This was also a wonderful report.
But the former left an impression upon me I will never forget. I know the reporter was a Christian as he said. I am in my early teens. I don't believe I know what a Christian really is, but his report made me believe he was

one. The spirit of Christ and the U. N. I. A. was in him, or he could not have written it so wonderfully. That's why I know he was a true Christian.
Opposition makes one stronger and brings forth great orators. The more the oppressor fights the U. N. I. A. the stronger it gets and brings forth greater men.
There is a new civilization dawning upon the face of this earth, and Marcus Garvey has found it, and it is coming to stay forever.

People of the World has adjourned
let us for a moment turn our eyes
and briefly review its work and the
benefits we have derived therefrom,
especially as it affects women. The
convention is heralded on all sides as a
howling success. The discussion of
Jesus and the Blessed Virgin Mary
as being members of the Negro race
was very keen. The consideration
with which it has met is clean and
square. Unfortunately, however, there
are many, who scorn the idea. The
editor of the Jamaica Glenner, in his
editorial, believes that Garvey, instead
of finding a new heaven, will find a
new hell. That is where the difference
comes in between Mr. Garvey and the
other no-called leaders and editors of
the race.
Mr. Garvey, I am sure, is neither in search of a new heaven nor a new hell. What Mr. Garvey wants to instill in the minda of his followers is that there must be a visible resemblance between a father and his child, where color is concerned, and "as it on earth, so it is in heaven." Hence each race which accepts Christianity imagines its invisible heavenly Father after its own image.
Building Heaven Here
I may venture to say here that Mr. Garvey is conscious that his heavens is within him. He knows that the materials that contribute to the building of his heaven must be hewn out of his every-day life. With Truth, Justice, Love and Mercy as his companions in the strife, he goes forth in service for his race, caring not for earthly blessings. Thus he builds his heaven here, so that when he gets over yonder Peter will be denied the use of "Go to the other place." But what of these ill-famed race leaders and editors? They pride in idle recklessness here and yet expect to taste the joys of heaven without being quarantined on repentance ground.
They are filled with desecit, camouflage, injustice and hatred toward their own race simply because fortune smiles on them. Here they are waiting in bifurcled ignorance for the day when a Negro shall sit in King's House, Jamaica, as Governor. In America they are still awaiting the day when a Negro shall wend his way to the White House as President, with black men galors in Congress and as Governors. Gooh! what flattery! Englishmen gave freely, of their blood and lives to make Jamaica a British possession; therefore when it comes to the Governorship of Jamaica, Englishmen will come and Englishmen will go, but the Negro remains a paid or a mental slave forever.
As to a Negro in the White House of America, it is so absurd that it does not merit comment. Negroes, if you wish to be Presidents, Governors and everything worth while, then get together and make a united sacrifice of life and service in redeeming Africa from the usurpers. Be courageous as Rodney, be adventurous as the Pilgrim Fathers.
God in Our Image
Before dismissing the subject let me express my personal appreciation of it. I highly appreciate the picture of Jesus, my Elder Brother, as a member of my race. In the same breath I adore the Virgin Mary, blessed among women, as my kith and kin, being the Mother of Him whom I accept as my Saviour.
As to the attributing of color to God, the Supreme Dilety, it is very near idle, but since other races claim that He is of their color, must not Negroes follow suit? Let the world understand, that we are conscious that God is a spirit, and is therefore free from color or form, but in communion with Him spiritually we apply the organs of hearing and sight imaginarily.
When we imagine Him as black, surely it is with an air of pride. Like father like child. What pride could a black mother exhibit when in showing her child its father, whether in

person or picture, who points to the magnificent form of the crown of the white rose? Negro whites.
White men who are mindful of themselves and their race do not seek to polish their race.
Negro women, keep up with the flag of purity, move so, racially. If you allow your mistakes to go over the race bounds, then your offspring, the product of your felty, will have a bitter time in the clash of the races.
Hence, when our leaders wisely decided to conceive God as black they hand down to unborn generations a spirit of pride that can never be faced by the ages of time, drawing their references from their earthly fathers.
Destroy Humiliating Books.
Mothers, it is your duty to see that your children do not handle or read literature which has a tendency to destroy their race pride. Keep humiliating pictures and books out of the house. Never relate to them those stories or lies about "riding into heaven," the man who went to heaven and returned and did not see a black man because he went not to the kitchen" and all such stuff. If they are to be told, then have them reversed.
Lest the Negro be the wiser man.
Mothers, remember these are only propaganda work, skillfully planned by the white man. When you repeat them you help to spread his work of evil doctrine. Forget them completely. Stories and pictures of a humiliating nature make a deep impression on the youthful mind. They speak in unspoken languages a host of bitter curses. Children soon begin to ask why father and mother are not white, since there's no good in being black. By reverting these pictures and stories you will be able to get every element of pride and appreciation out of your children, both for themselves and the race at large.
The Possibilities of This Age
Now for the social side of it! Truly the fulfilment of the prophecy is fast approaching. Princes are coming out of Egypt and by their side we see their dark-skinned queens and princesses. Let the scorners and scoffers say as they like and do as they please, but we of the Universal appreciate our ladies in the same manner or light bility of England, or of France, but the social possibility of an awakened Africa. Let us women of the race, wives, mothers, sisters, sweethearts and daughters leave, no stone unturned in contributing to the social and moral status of our race. After all, what a glorious age to live in, just as one was feeling despondent! Gosh, ladies! Life is worth living after all.

Suggestions to Housewives
To save time when you are ready to iron, sprinkle the clothes with warm water instead of cold. Roll them up tightly in a damp towel, and in ten minutes they will be ready.
An old fur coat that is no longer serviceable on the street will make a good, warm and serviceable robe for baby's carriage.
When you have a number of handkerchiefs to iron, save time and electricity by ironing all without folding. Then turn off the heat, fold and press. The iron will retain heat enough.
Hold tomatoes over the gas flame for a few seconds before you peel them, and the skin is easily removed without tearing the vegetable.

Many Come From Hawaii, Where Labor Conditions Are Unsatisfactory—How They Are Employed Many in the Schools
While in the Philippines, I have been reading articles depicting the Filipinos on the Pacific Coast of the United States as misrepresenting the country which gave them birth. In order, if untrue, to determine a more well-based information and, if true, to find the actual cause of the situation, I left Manila four years ago with the vision some day to be able to furnish the Philippine public the right impression concerning them. I shall herewith endear, therefore, to relate the real conditions of the Filipinos now in question, as I saw it, not as I want it to be.
Seattle, the rapidly growing metropolis of Washington state, has, roughly speaking, more or less five hundred Filipinos, both students, and non-students—probably about two-fifths composed the former. The University of Washington stores no less than fifty out of them; the many high schools of the city accommodate almost one hundred and the rest attend either private institutions or other public schools.
"The only occupation the Filipinos are recognized as capable in this city, said a friend to me, 'are school boys bus boys, waiters, dishwashers, porters, janitors, and other odd jobs (without intellectual qualification), although you may seldom find some holding responsible positions." "Sometimes I think Americans are very kind in giving us only such jobs," he continued, and when I asked why he retorted that "because in that case it will only be impossible to forget the country so dear to us all." I find that these statements are applicable to all Filipino students on the Pacific Coast, although in some cities I found more of those holding responsible positions. Among the cities in which Filipinos are in great number are Seattle, Birmingham, Cosmopolis, Hoquam, Portland (Oregon), Corvallis, San Francisco (California), Berkeley, Oakland, Vallejo, Salinas, Palo Alto, Stockton, Sacramento, Los Angeles and San Diego. In all of these cities students and non-students are living in perfect harmony.
The contention that Filipinos are divided into two so-called headquarters (students and non-students) is, I am glad to say, unfounded and misrepresentation. The distinction obtainable between them is that students live not far from their respective

schools, where as non-students they are forced to get their enjoyment in the China district of the city, where all; regardless of race, are treated equal.
The main occupation aside, from those already mentioned in which non-students are found working are in box factories (in Cosmopolis and Hoquam); and on ranches in Salinas Valley and Stockton, Cal. Many are also engaged in private business as in San Francisco, Stockton, Salinas, Los Angeles and Seattle.
The University of Washington, Corvallis Agricultural College, Stanford University, University of California and the University of Southern California, are among those thickly populated by the Filipinos. High schools (Practically all) are loaded with Filipino students.
It is estimated that there are about ten to twenty thousand Filipinos on the Pacific Coast of the United States. Most of the non-students came from Hawaii where dissatisfaction among the laboring class is now wide-spread.

d'unercer les fonctions de Cottrobrur du dimanche de la Nouvelle Oblanche. Jdt La Timer-Pléomyne. Ge professe s'il était gagné, surrait pouser offre de démarronchair politique tous les noirs des Etats-Unis. La petition balle qu'elle est publie, accuse Cohen d'avoir fauconnent alliguer qu'il est cien du EEUU. lors de sa presentation de serment. On y déclare que la défendant n'est pas un citoyen de ce pays; qu'il est d'origine africaine, par conséquent frappé d'incapacité inherente à devoirir un citoyen des EEUU.
Ce procès est intenêt au nom de Mr. Edwin H. Bolte, avecat du baureau de Washington, D. C., d'après le journal qui déclare que le point sur lequel est basé la petition, n'a jamais encore été soumis à la decision d'aucun des tribunaux de l'Union. La pétition fait remarquer que les ¼ des Etats n'avient pas ratifié l'amendement en question; pour la bonne raison que, à ce moment-la, ils étaient inconstitutionnellement depouillés de leur suffrage au Senat; que cet amendement n'avait pas eu à bénéficier des ¼ de voix de la session plenière; que six autres Etats furent contraints de le voter par coercion; et que le Senat étant sans pouvoirs et sans mandat y relatif s'étaient autorisé a déclare le dit amendement à la Constitution, adopté et devenu partie integrante de celle-ci. Quant à Cohen, on prendte sa prestation de serment est entachée de nullité étant basée sur les dispositifs de ce prétenu amendement à la Constitution des ERUU. Pour ces raisons, la pétition-Bolte demande qu'une injunction soit lancée interdistant à Cohen de continuer à-exercer les attributions de Controleur en Douane et d'en toucher les emoluments.
Cohen depuis le moment de sa nomination à ce poste, à été l'objet d'une opposition incessante. A l'occasion de sa nomination par feu le President Harding, le Sénat avait refusé de ratifier la mesure, disant que Cohen était personnellement insupportable à toit le personnel louisianais. Le President Harding modifia alors la commission de Cohen en "recess appointment," et Cohen exerca les attributions de cette charge plusieurs mois sans toucher de salaire. Arrive au pouvoir, le President Coolidge envoya à son tour la nomination de Cohen à ce poste, et, comme aparavant, le Sénat la retourna en déclinant de la ratifier. Eventuellement, cependant, se grand Corps finit par ceder au voeu de l'Executif.
La nouvelle ci-dessus, publiee par l'Associated Press et dissimine sur tous les points du pays à la date de 6 Octobre, révèle un état de chose des plus alarmants. Le noir doit apprendre à discerner quand et comment lutter pour ce qu'il désire. Lorsqu'on est petit, faible, chétif, on ne doit pas provoquer à taurreau furieux ni agacer un lion quiient déjà votre bras dans sa gueule. C'est manquer de bon sens. Cette lutte obstine que Cohen a la livrée en vue de contenter sa vaincre et son orgueil personnels va coiffer cher à toute la race. C'était mal comprendre les choses. Peut on se figurer par exemple qu'une personne qui aurait construit une maison consente à la remetre au premier passant venu uniquement percequel celui-la est capable de soulever un vacarme? Nous le repétons, le noir aura accès a ces sortes de charges et à d'autres beaucoup plus importantes encore, lorsqu'il aura eu édifier un fondement economique qui command le respect. Méditez cette parole.
C'est dans ces sentiments que j'ai l'honneur d'être,
P. S.—Nous renouvelons a nos membres, branches, chapitres et sections de la U. N. I. A. de faire tout leur possible en faveur de la Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company en y souscrivant des emprunts et en envoyant régulièrement leurs rapports mensuels à la section-mère ainsi que tous les fonds qu'ils detiennent à son intention. La section-mère a besoin de tous les fonds possibles pour pouvoir exécuter le program de 1924-1925. Envoyez tout ce que vous avez sans delai. M. G.
La prediction de Marcus Garvey commence a se realiser des leaders irréfléchis tuent la race—ils recherchent leur avancement personnel au dépens de toute la race—Nous n'avons rien perdu en Afrique, disent-ils. Mais ils veulent s'approprier le double ici
Il semble qu'il n'y ait que les moyens extraordinaires qui puissent reveiller la conscience somnolente du noir. Vous aurez beau lui décrite les dommages et les desaitres occasionnés par un volcan ou par une perturbation sismique, il n'entendra rien de ce que vous lui dites tant qu'il n'aura lui-même victime de l'un ou l'autre de ces catastrophes: alors seulement aura-t-il la notion des suites facheuses dont s'accompagnent ces phénomenes.
Ainsi, depuis six ans près nous sonnons le tocsin de l'alarme aux ereilles des noirs d'Amerique pour les averties des dangers qui les menacent dans l'avenir tel qu'il ressort d'une analyse approfondie du développement politique et industrielle de la nation américaine, comme de celle des diverses races qui s'y coudoient. Depuis six ans pres, nous efforcers de démonstrer que le Noir n'a pas de domicile permanent dans l'Occident; qu'il n'y est qu'un intrus (squatter), que les races plus fortes s'emprasseront de deposséder des que leur besoin d'expansion sera devenu plus urgent.
Lorsque, pour la première fois nous avions lancé cette prédiction, des leaders noirs irréfléchis, s'étaient moqués de nous; nous avaient mène traité de fou pour avoir dit que la salut réside, pour le noir, dans la redemption de l'Afrique et la creation d'une nation indépendante. On a dit que nous citions des fou, dignes de revétrir la camisole de force; mais depuis, il n'est pas une année, pas un mois de notre existence sur ce sol, qui ne s'est chargé de nous donner raison, en amenable des incidents et des développementes qui justifiient nos prévisions et prédisposent les personnes pensantes de la race à tenter une action universelle en vue d'observer à ce peril.
L'Association Nationale pour l'Avancement, du Peuple de Couleur qui dirigent MM. John Weldon Johnson et W. E. B. Du Bois, fait, comme nous l'avions précédemment affirme, un tort calculable aux Noirs d'Amerique en menant une agitation perpétuelle et irreflechie pour des avantages qui ne s'obtiennent par des voies purement constitutionnelles et politiques. Il résultat aujourd'hui de cette façon, de procéder qu'une réaction a commencé à produire tendant à faire perdre au Noir non-seulement ses droits civiques, mais aussi d dignité d'homme. Les gens dont la mentalité ne s'éclaire pas au contact de l'histoire et de l'experience sont des faibles d'esprit indignes de vivres. Les peuples qui sont parvues au faite du progres sont ceux qui ont su mettre à profit et les expériences d'autrui et les enseignements de l'histoire. Le Noir, pour son malheure, ne paraît se soucier de mediter ni l'un ni l'autre. Ceux qui trouvent ridicule d'entendre répeter que l'Amérique est un pays des blanches vont se réveiller un de ces puites matins sans foyer, sans asile, au couble de la deception et du desespoir. On en voit qui se plaissent sans cessé prochaîner que nous disposons de droits constitutionnels formellement acquis. Cette reventation semble assez raisonnable au point de vue d'une interpretation equitable du texte de la loi; mais e-t-il permis d'oublier que la Justice n'est pas de ce monde; que le materialisme et l'inquité sont à l'ordre du jour; et que pour un gain oui l'espoir d'un avancement personnel l'homme uphistera pas à tuer son frère? Et, sachant cela, le Noir sera t-il toujours assez pour penser que la majorite des autres races de la terre sera disposée à commetter contre elle-même l'injustice de ceder aux peuples plus faibles ce que'elle convive pour soi?
Saint Marc
La ville de Saint Marc, Haiti, a une population de 85,000 habitants. Elle est située dans le Département de l'Artibonite, où coule le fleuve du même nom. On y a conservé le souvenir d'un groupe d'Emigrants noirs qui avaient laissé les États Unis pour aller s'y foyer.
O! l'agréable chose que le souvenir! Comme il fait bien revivre les jours que l'on a aimés! Quel plaisirate! Aussi, avant de le déguster, je le savoure avec enchantement et voudrais le prolonger aussi longtemps que possible.
Comme la plupart des Port-au-
Princiennes, je ne m'aïts presque
janais déplacée et lignorais comp-
plément ce que c'est que la province.
Or voilà que d'après des nouvelles récentes, certains éléments cherchant non seulement à restreindre les avantages industriels et sociaux des Noirs, mais aussi à ravir leurs droits de citoyen. L'entrefilet que nous reproduisoin ci-dessous interressera sans doute ces noirs qui, tels des ballons creux, se vantent à tout propos de la sécurité résidentielle qui leur est assurée et s'obstinent à ignorer l'urgence qu'il y a à redimer l'Afrique pour le Noir. Nous visons les gens tels que: Roscoe Conklin Simmonds, Robert Abbott, Fred R. Moore, George Harris, W. E. B. DuBois, William Pickens, John Weldon Johnson, Chandler Owens, A. Phillip Randolph et Robert Bagnall. Si ces messieurs étaient seulement en mesure d'entrevoir les choses telles qu'elles sont, et s'ils apportaient à la cause du repatriement des Noirs l'énergie que, par ailleurs, ils prodiguent si mal à propos, nous ne serions plus comme des naufrages dérivant au hasard des flots, mais nous serions une nation imbue d'un ideal propre et poursuivant, à l'instar des autres peuples, un objectif nettement déterminé. Nous voulons averitir les noirs des Etats Unis que ce n'est plus qu'une question de temps pour que nous soyons déponiller des droits politiques et sociaux ainsi que de nos opportunités industrielles. Le noir confronte actuellement la période de la critique de son existence dans l'Ocident. S'ils ne s'evertue pas à s'assurer un abri sur, érigé par ses propes moyens, il suffira d'un siècle environ pour qu'il disparaisse, écrase sous les bottes de ceux qui sont décidés à se maintenir coute que coute dans un monde fait de rivalité et de compétition matérielles.
En Juillet dernier, fatigué par le travail de l'année scolaire, je voulis me reposer, mais loin de Port-au-Prince. A cette nouvelle, mes amies se récrierient croyant que j'allais nourrir d'enniu dans un "trou de province" comme elles le disaient; elles m'exhortèrent à aller passer la saison des chaleurs à Pétion-Ville. Je refusai, car j'avais une grande envie de connaître d'autres villes de la République.
Enfin! me voilà un soir déharquant dans une petite ville de province, Saint Marc. Devant la gare que de gens! De tous côtés, on appelle des voyages, on se presse, on descend les bagages. Je reconnais parmi les curieux de la gare des Port-au-Princiennes et des Pout-au-Princiennes. On est heureux de se rencontrer et déjà on sent qu'on ne sera pas isolé, et puis c'est une promesse d'amusement. Il fait noir, bien qu'il ne soit que six heures. Il n'y a pas d'électricité; c'est la première chose qui frappe; mais bien vite on s'en console, en se disant qu'il est de même à Pétion-Ville et qu'on s'en passa. Dès que, la locomotive qui a aménée les voyageurs s'est un pen loignée de la gare, a leurs yeux éblious söffre une magnifique rade en forme de fer à cheval. Les flots som agités et la musique de la vague qui vient mourrit sur la grève vous captive de je.
Les hommes du type dont nous avons parlé, son cause que le noir a perdu, dans le sud, le droit de voter. Ces mêmes types travaillent actuellement à le lui faire perdre dans le nord également. Il n'y a pas longtemps nous disions étant à Liberty Hall, que l'agitation stupide et indiplomatique de la N. A. A. C. P. serait cause qu'avant longtemps les noirs du nord serait dépouillés du ballot et réduits au même plan que le noir du sud. Des efforts progressifs se sont produits dans ce sens et voilà au aujourd'hui nous en voyons la manifestation directe.
Le noir est simpliste et à la vue courte. Il ne comprend pas que pour qu'il puisse obtenir des fonctions gouvernementales élevées il importe qu'il pos auparavant le fondement qui est à la base de l'idée de gouvernement; et ce fondement-la, c'est l'industrie. Tant que le noir m'aura pas édifier une tour industrielle, il n'a pour ainsi dire rien à diriger, rien à gouverner. D'autre part, les peuples qui ont édifier pour eux-memes de pareils fondements ne sont pas assez sots pour permettre à ceux qui s'en relèvent manifestement incapables, de venir gérer leurs affaires. Voilà toute la chose.
Saint Marc m'a beaucoup plu, et je vais essayer de vous diré quels sont les charmes qui ont opéré sur moi. C'est d'abord sa mer, vritable magicienne qui, quand elle vous a captivée, ne vous lache plus tant elle vous berce et vous charme avec ses chansons tantôt sourdes, tantôt agiées. On passerai la journée entière à entendre le bruit lointaim des flots ou, le mugissement furieux de la vague qui, parfois, vient se briser jusqu'aux pieds des promeneurs attardés sur la plage. Quand le ciel est convert de gros nuages et que l'orage gronde, la mer est furieuse et est vraiment demontée, aussi on
Le noir est très religieux; il a beaucoup d'instruction et infiniment de rhetorique; mais il lui manque chose essentielle qui constitue le principe du gouvernement et qui, plus que toute autre chose, rend les races-ou les petulpes respectée. Cependant, dites au noir de construire des voies ferres, d'établir des lignes de navigations, des ateliers et des usines, de fonder un pays indépendant, il vous rira au nez: mais conseille-lui d'aspirer aux fonctions de controleur de douane, de Secretaire d'Estou ou de Secretaire du Gouverneur, chez autur, il est tout heureux et vous affirme que c'est son droit constitutionnel. Les esprits averitis savent qu'elle est la limite des droits constitutionnels du noir dans les pays crées par les blancs, nonobstant les vantardises omiques de Roscoe Conklin, Simmonds et W. E. B. DuBois.
La validité du 14e amendement est attaquée dans un procès à la Nouvelle Orléans (La.) Ce procès qui sera plaide par devant le Federal District Court de cette localité, sera présent sous la forme d'une tition tendante à empêcher Mr. Walter L. Cohen, un noir, a continué
pourrait dire avec Marguerite Durand:
Et crache à leurs soinmets l'écume de sa rage.
La nuit tombe apeurée, une cloche au village.
Tinte, en vain elle oppose au fraacs de l'orage
La paix de son clocher.
Ce spectacle d'une mer très agité est bien étrange à ceux qui ont habitude de contempler le grand calme de la rade de la Capitale.
Pour admirer toute la splendieu de la plage il faut longer la coite en partant de Freycineau pour arriver à la Grosse-Roche. Alors, cheveux aux vents, chapeaux flottants, on court sur le sable, on recueille des coquillages; puis on s'assied pour goiter. Les enfants rieurs courent parmi les roches, jouent avec la mer et guettent ses approches et l'imprévu de ses flots écumens.
Puis . . . on se met à penser . . . à rêver . . . on voit comment auwait pu être cette ville ; partout des tentes multicolores , un casino jettant gaiement les notes de sa joyeuse musique ; des villas coupettes hordant le littoral ; des baigneurs et des baigneurs et cendus sur le sable faisant entendre leurs rire frais qui irait se perdre dans les flots.
Si on savait utiliser ce que la mature nous a-si générusement départi, que de belles choses on ferait l... Qui pourrait empêcher que Saint Maré devienne comme Deauville en France, la grande plage à la mode en Haiti, ou chaque été un fort contingent de touristes et de viliégiaturistes raient se refaire à l'air vivifiant de la mer. Mais il n'en est point ainsi; il le faut abandonner sa réverie, se l'avert pour reprendre le chenin de la maison, car on n'a pour s'abriter contre les rayons du soieil que quelques ombrelles et non pas ces jolies tentes qui font la laie des viliégiaturistes des villes d'eau. La mer n'est pas l'unique attrait de Saint Marie; il y a au aussi la campagne riante et belle, toujours parée de verdure et environnée d'eau c'est à dire de belles rivières qui roulent paresseusement dans leur lit et qui donnent à tout la campagne un air de fraieure et de poésie. La température est fraie et invite aux longues promenades, aussi est-ce avec plaisir que l'on chevauche à travers la campagne pour admirer les beaux paysages qui ont la molasse des nuages mais avec plus d'éclat.
Quand les dernières lumieres s'éteignent, comme tout est calme dans la ville! mais si calme que l'on perçoit les moindres beuits: la chanson des arbres, le sifflement des oiseaux, le son loaintain d'une cloche qui rappelle que le temps fuit et qu'il est peut être très tard. Ce calme est si complet, si reposant que l'ame se sent apaise et viens devant toutes les beautés qui soffrent à elle.

Muy apreciado señor mio:
En mi carácter de tesorero del sindicato organizado en esta ciudad,
permitione informar a Ud. que se le han enviado a su orden la suma de treinta y ocho pesos paráel pago del Charter en este Cuerpo Directivo,
y se autorice de mejor manera a nuestra Division con todas las formalidades, requisitos y reglamentos necesarios.
Nuestras profecias se ven cumplidas—Las llamadas destoores destruyen las agrupaciones de la raza—Befusen para privar al negro del derogio al sufragio—La Mujita de nuestro pueblo debe eliminar a los vivideros para que cese la injuria—Dependen de la bondad y confianza de la raza para llevarse una vida regulada, sin importarles quienes sean los sacrificados
Séame permitido además presentar a ese Cuerpo Directivo mis respetos y a la vez que con el homenaje merecido, ponga mis servicios a la orden de nuestra noble causa en buena hora organizada. Ardua será nuestra tarea, pero confiados en Dios, llegaremos a lo que nos hemos propuesto y nuestra raza en no lejano dia, senir la girnalda de su ventura.
La filosofía ordinaria no es materia convincente para despertar la aletargada conciencia de nuestro pueblo. Podemos explicar detalladamente el terrible desastre de un terremoto, pero él no se compenetrará inmediatamente de su significancia, hasta no haber observado personalmente le erupción de un colcán o haber experimentado la sensación desagradable de un denomeno sismico.
Con sentimiento de altas consideraciones, soy de Ud.
Muy consecuente y seguro servidor
Por más de seis años nuestra organización ha venido profetizando los grandes peligros que nuestra raza ha de afrontar en el futuro en esta parte del globo, según previsión dimanada de un análisis ciudadoso y de un estudio minucioso del crecimiento social, político e industrial de las naciones y de las razas dentro de esas mismas naciones. Una y otra vez, y con razones convincentes, hemos manifestado que nuestra raza no tiene un sitio determinado para su estabilidad en el hemisferio occidental, porque medida que las demas razas se desarrollan, requieren mayor espacio para su comodidad, reduciendo a cada instante nuestro radio de acción.

MANUEL COIMBA A.
PUNTOS DE VISTA
Costa Rica en la Liga de
Naciones
Posiblemente el Gobierno de Costa Rica tomará la determinación muy atinada de retirarse de la Liga de Naciones. Fuera de que las razones económicas que asisten Costa Rica para tomar esta determinación son muy justas, existe también la de que en verdad no deducimos ventaja ninguna al permuecer dentro de la Liga en la cual, con no estar todas las naciones del mundo adsteritas, a ella, su importancia resulta optimista y hasta teoría. No cabe duda, que cuando se cumplan las aspiraciones del Derecho Internacional que propenden a que se establezca una Liga de Naciones tan amplia y formal, que pueda evitar que un setenta y cinco por ciento de los casos de guerra y atropellos internacionales, permanecer dentor de esa Liga, no solo seria conveniente para los países que viven precisamente al amparo del decreto, sino obligatorio.
Al hacer tales manifestaciones, las cuales creemos razonables, muchos de los tal llamados directores de la raza se burlaron de nosotros y nos calificaron de locos demagogos, particularmente cuando expusimos la razón de que la única salvación de la raza estaba en la redención absoluta de Africa, en donde pudiera aquella establecer su propio gobierno: Dijeron que el manicomio nos estaba ya hechando de menos; pero desde hace seis años, cada dia, cada mes, cada año de nuestra existencia que transcurrre, nos hace experimentar ciertos hechos que a continuación justifican nuestra idea en preparar a la raza universalmente para su propia salvación.
El malestar que ocación la agitación poco conciente de cierto de nuestro elemento, por adquirir aquello que no pueden obtecer por mera demanda política, esta causando una reacción tal, que finalmente privará a todo negro en America no solamente de su ciudadania sino también de todo derecho humano. Todos aquellos pueblos que se han elevado a la cúside del progreso nacional y racial, son aquellos que se han beneficiado de la experiencia de los acontecimientos históricos. Nuestra raza no parece prestar atención alguna a esta gran maestra. Todos aquellos que intenten ridiculizar la idea de que America es un país exclusivamente para blancos, han de notar su grave error cuando se vean sin derecho, sin patria y sin hogar, pues no hemos de pensar por un momento que la mayoría de las otras razas ha de ceder a los pueblos débiles aquello que tanto codicia—su estabilidad.
La Liga de Naciones que actualmente existe y dentre de la cual existen desde hace algunos años, es posible que teñan probabilidades de pro-perar en el sentido indicado pero no nos toca a nosotros, los mispequenos, ser sus manteñones cuando no se sabe si reúnente la teoría de un supremo tribunal internacional es una heurto teórica para la vida de los pobres.
Adena, si alguno nos pide de derivar de la Liga de Naciones algn beneficio, ese país no es Costa Rica.
Bien, pues, no parece la probable determinación del Gobierno de girar tse de que organismo y principal a pagar en deducción de honor que en tan buenas condiciones se le baja bien dado verificar.
Vienna, para esie asunto, de peñas las frases de don Ricardo: "cuando la ganancia no es seguridad, la pérdida está cercana."
Notamos recientemente que no solo se pone barrera a los privilegios sociales e industriales del negro, sino que se hacen grandes esfuerzos para privarle de sus derechos como ciudadano. H. E. Bolte, abogado de la ciudad de Washington, sugín noticias publicadas por la prensa asociada, a presentado una petición a la Corte Federal de Nueva Orleans para que esta anule el nombramiento de Walter L. Cohen, elemento de nuestro raza y Collector de dicho puerto, quien ejercen en tal capacidad. Si esta acción tiene éxito, privará a todo negro en los Estados Unidos del derecho al sufrágio, pues está basada en la enmienda décima cuarta de la Constitución, la cual según la petición no ha sido lo suficientemente esclarecida por el Congreso, y este sin autoridad 6 poder la declaró ley.
Si nada hacemos en la Liga de Naciones, entonces para que seguir pagando por más tiempo muestra permanencia en ella. Si acaso tuvo vieramos necesidad de arbitrario o de que se nos haga justicia, y esta tenga que ser hecha por jueces extranjeros, allí están los Estados Unidos, de los que no podemos dular ni un solo momento. Pero si la justicia tenemos que hacermos por nuestra propias manos, la Liga de Naciones dentro de su funciónamiento actual, jamás podría evitarlo.
¿A qué pues, seguir pagando innecesariamente un servicio problemático? Y aún sin paga, ¿para que permanecer dentro de una sociedad en cuyos manejos no podemos contribuir?
El presentar tal petición revela, la actitud del grupo de la mayoría, y debemos tomar esto en consideración si nos queda aún algún sentido común. Para conocimiento en general hemos de manifestar además que no solamente será posible que el negro se vea privado de su voz politica, sino que inmediatamente después de la actual campaña electoral, ha de verse sin ocupación como recompensa de su cooperación, al dejarse influenciar por los vividores de la raza, quienes a cada instante agravan más y más nuestra condición actual debido a su actitud de servilismo.
Bajo todos los aspectos, desde todos los puntos de vista, el Gobierno procederia muy bien al retirarse de la Liga de Naciones. La Tribuita. Costa Rica.
Contra la ley seca
El señor Claro Rector, dirigente de la minoria en la camara de diputados filipina, ha protestado ante el departamento de Estado por la aplicación de la emienda decimo octava de la prohibición a las Filipinas en concepto de que se menoscabat la autonomia filipina y los poderes de la legislatura del archipiélago, en asuntos locales, autonomia que le concedió el Congreso.
Debemos realizar cuando hemos de luchar y como debemos hacerlo para obtener lo que anhelamos. Es poco cuerpo el hondear una bandera roja en presencia de un toro salvaje, o el colocar la mano en la boca de un león provocando así su bestialidad. Esta es la actuación de los politicos de la raza con el objeto de adquirir lo que aspiran, dejando la raza en general expuesta a los graves peligros que como consecuencia le amenazan. Afrontamos uno de los periodos más dificiles de nuestra existencia en este hemisferio occidental. Si no luchamos por obtener un sitio para nuestro establecimiento, nos hemos de ver, de nuevo bajo la planta del mas fuerte, quien está determinado a conservar su estabilidad y vivir en un mundo de rivalidad y de competencia material.

moral does not fully recognize that the Negro man is a man, or a human creature of the Creator. If the Negro had been recognized as a man, a human creature of the Creator during the infancy of this government, slavery would have been abolished when the Constitution was adopted and would have saved the government from the Civil War. Justice was awakened from slumber by the Civil War and wrote the fourteenth amendment for the Negro to see himself. The Negro has seen himself through the fourteenth amendment as being a human creature of the Creator. The alleged filing of a suit at New Orleans attacking the validity of the fourteenth amendment is only a "Scare-Crow," Scare-Crow days are gone forever with the Negro.
Every war brings the Negro closer to liberty and freedom. The next World's War, according to the Bible, will bring the Negro, a government of his own in Africa, and a complete redemption of Africa. The hand writing is on the wall, and the Negro has interpreted the writing. JAS. M. WEBB.

"WHAT WORLD
REWARD
IN 24 HOURS'
"Glenda Awakened in One Day" is the
Amazing Statement of a Seventy-
six-Year-Old Veteran.
Lost vigor, deadened glands and
nerves and the 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 "pre-
pared" to suffer from the "vital force of youth",
often in a day's time, with Mando Formula,
is the amazing statement of one
who has taken the treatment. This
famous discovery is bringing new
thought" 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 Mande City, Ohio, but it I didn't do over 48. Before I started taking the treatment I felt I was an old, 'worn-out' man, but now I am enjoying a remarkable 'gland restoration' and am convinced my rejuvenation complete. I compile the Gloe blender 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, will work the magic in its rap, lily on people of all ages and sexes.
No matter how bad, your condition, no matter what your age or occupation, no matter what you have had, and no matter what 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 $1.85 on 10 days' free trial. If the year is 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 Bldg., Kansas City, Mo, and the treat-ter according to the simple directions. If at the end of the 10 days you are not showing "wonderful improvement" and "rejuvenation," just send it back and your money, you receive without regard. This offer fully fulfills your no write today and give this "remarkable formula" a trial.
THE PSALMIST SINGS!
BY CHARLES C. MOULTON
If heathen rage and idolize vain things,
O'erwhelmed of lust for wealth and
vaunted power,
Why should my soul float on material
wings
To nothingness? My claim on Africa's
Dower!
For vanity foreruns the fall of kings.
At some Belshazzar's fatful, dreadful
heur!
Oppression's cup o'erfilled with anguish
swings
On signs of chaos from Heaven, lower
and lower!
Oh, Ethiopia, stretch thine hands to
God!
The fervent spirit of the Psalmist
sings!
What though confusion reigneth on
this God?
And pray: "Oh, Lord, Her African
soons inspire,
To hall Her, soaring up on Joyful
Wings.
Led by her Celestial Hosts, in Glorious
Fire!"
Cartagena, August, 1924.

No Legion Notes last week. Too late with copy. Apologize.
The uniformed Units of the New York Division of the U. N. I. A. at Headquarters are certainly to be congratulated and should be heartily encouraged for the esprit de corps, enthusiasm and genuine interest they have manifested in their eagerness for the return of and reception planned at Liberty Hall for Hon. Marcus Garvey. President-General and Commander-In-Chief. Mr. Garvey will arrive on the 22nd of this month from his official tour of the United States, and his return is looked forward to by all the members, far and near, as an occasion for great rejoicing and celebration after an absence of several months.
We were genuinely but pleasantly surprised when we learned that the Royal, Guards, under Colonel Watley and Adjutant Saltus, had subscribed for a $500 bond of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, Inc. at its offices, 56 West 135th St., New York City. The proceeds from entertainments and popular donations has netted them nearly sufficient funds to meet that obligation entirely. Go to it, men.
Hon. Jacob D. Chambers, President of the East St. Louis, Illinois, Division, together with Brigadier General E. M. Ferrell, have done and are doing excellent work in organizing their members Int uniformed units, and

We are a people just beginning to know the value of such things as racial organization, race pride and patriotism. Our leaders are preaching this to us at every turn. But those leaders sometimes do not see the example which they should set for us to follow. They do not wholly appreciate that as they tell us of race pride it is up to them to fully do their share that those who follow may get the full benefit from these practices. Warsaw Sun.
