BLACK CROSS NAVIGATION AND TRADING COMPANY OWNS BIG OCEAN LINER
FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting:
We are glad to report that the Universal Negro Improvement Association has again lived up to its reputation of being able, amidst difficulties of the worst kind, to triumph over the machinations of its enemies and thereby carry forward the great object for which we are organized. During the important month of August, when we were assembled in international convention; we contracted for the purchase of the steamship Gen. G. W. Goethals. We made a substantial payment then on the purchase of the boat and arranged to make two very substantial payments before taking the boat into our complete possession. The payments were very large, and in view of the fact that our members and delegates had concentrated on the promotion of our Fourth International Convention, and although we had just spent over $50,000 in the promotion of the Liberian Colonization plan in which we were thwarted by Messrs. Charles King and Edwin Barclay, President and Secretary of State, respectively, of Liberia, yet we rallied with the usual U. N. I. A. spirit, and we are glad to say that
after two months we have succeeded in making these substantial payments and have become the owners of one of the best equipped steamships in the American service. There is still a balance of $25,000 due, but that, we feel sure, will be easily met by the members of our race in another few weeks.
Ship Should Be on Way to Africa
Our ship should now be on the way to Liberia, West Africa, carrying the first group of colonists, but through the weakness and disloyalty of two of the officials with whom we have had to deal in Liberia, we have had to suspend the sending out of the colonists, waiting on the action of the Congress of Liberia.
People of Liberia With U. N. I. A.
We are satisfied, nevertheless, that 99% of the people of Liberia are anxious to welcome the Universal Negro Improvement Association to help in the development of that country. We are sorry that we have lost such an able Liberian patriot as the Honorable Chief Justice J. J. Dossen. He undoubtedly was one of the strongest and most far-seeing men of Liberia. He was not jealous of others doing good for Africa, but he was willing to co-operate with every one to help his country and to help his race. The unfortunate thing is that members of our own race are so jealous of each other that they will do everything to block the efforts engineered by others, even though such
efforts mean not only the alleviation of the condition of millions of the race, but the development of their own countries. We need not brood over this, however, because there is much work for the Universal Negro Improvement Association to do in the way of colonization and in the industrial and commercial development of our people. We feel sure that the very England and France that President King is endeavoring to please in handicapping the Universal Negro Improvement Association will be the England and France that will later on do their part by the Negro race when our claims are properly taken up with the League of Nations.
League of Nations to Help
We have absolutely no doubt that in the next sitting of the League of Nations, when we supplement our peti-

ENEMIES OF THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION AGAIN DEFEATED IN THEIR EFFORT TO BLOCK PROGRESS OF RACE

NEGROES WILL VISIT OTHERS OF THEIR OWN RACE IN THEIR OWN SHIP

tion, that has been there for the last two years, with the signatures of the twenty million Negroes of America; West Indies and Africa who morally and otherwise helped in the great world war, that the League of Nations, including England and France, will do their part by us in granting concessions in Africa, outside of Liberia, to enable the Negro to re-establish himself as a national entity to prove his ability for self-development and government. It is strange how Negroes can stand in their own way trying to please others.
Great Triumph for Organization
We of the Universal Negro Improvement Association feel happy at this time because with all that has been done to hinder our progress we find ourselves on the broad road to success. In this issue of our paper we announce the sailing of our first ship on Sunday, the 11th of January, 1925, for Central America, West Indies and Southern sections of the United States on an excursion, taking from this country a group of Negro men and women who will visit the other sections of our race in the West Indies and Central America. They will have the privilege of seeing the Negroes in Cuba, Haiti, Jamaica, Panama, Bocas del Toro and Costa Rica. The trip will, we feel sure, supply them with a new education, and we do hope that a closer trade and commercial relationship will spring up out of this trip of American Negroes to the West Indies and Central America. On the return of the ship in February we will also have an excursion to British Guiana, Trinidad, Barbadoes and Venezuela, and immediately after that one of our ships will sail for the West Coast of Africa. All those of the race who desire to make the trip to Panama, Central America and the West Indies, leaving New York the 11th January, are requested to make application immediately for their passage from the ticket office of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, 56 West 135th Street, New York City.
Send in Your Loans Now
We want all those who have not taken out their loans in the company to do so immediately so as to enable us to meet the payment of $25,000 due on the ship. Every reader of this message should now send in his or her loan to the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company whether it be $20, $25, $50, $100, $200, $300 or $500, as the sooner we pay for this first ship the easier it will be for us to secure
the second, for which we are now negotiating. We also appeal to those Negroes in Central America, West Indies and Africa who have produce for sale to reserve same for the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, as in a short while we intend to purchase such produce from our own people in shipment to American markets. There is no reason why the Negroes of the West Indies, Central America and Africa should not trade with their own people under the auspices of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. The sugar, coffee, cocoa, cocoanuts, bananas and other raw produce grown and produced by the Negro should form the basis of trade between the natives and the Negroes in the United States. Let us get together to promote this commercial, industrial and trade relationship with a fellowship of race that will enable us to do the best for each other. The millions of us scattered all over the world who have been brought together by a great spiritual and fraternal union can now help materially in solving our own problems, and so we make the appeal to each and every one to do his and her duty by the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company.
Take a Trip to Central America
Let every one who can afford to make the trip on our first ship do so. It will be an education for you. Those who have not seen the beauties of the West Indies and Central America should grasp this opportunity. The ship will only carry first-class passengers. The rate will be $350 and $400 for the round trip, thirty-one days being spent in the islands and in Central America.
In returning thanks to those who have helped us to meet the last two big payments on our ship, we have to mention the splendid service rendered by Sir William Ware, president of the Cincinnati Division, and Hon. F. E. Johnson and J. Craigen, president and secretary, respectively, of the Detroit Division, and the Honorable Dr. J. J. Peters, president of the Chicago Division. Through the wholehearted support of these presidents and their divisions we were able to rally to the extent of meeting the obligations that were incumbent upon us. We haven't praise enough to give these two gentlemen for the splendid work that they have done for the Universal Negro Improvement Association and Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. Whenever we think of the success of our first ship, we shall surely remembmer the services rendered by these men in their respective divisions. The whole membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will take off their hats to New York, Detroit, Cincinnati and Chicago Divisions for giving us our first ship.
With very best wishes, I have the the honor to be
Universal Negro Improvement Association.
P. S.—All members, divisions, branches and chapters of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are again requested to do their best in promoting the interest of the Parent Body by sending in the regular monthly report of all funds in hand for the organization. The program laid down at the last convention is far-reaching and for us to carry it out successfully means that all members and divisions must rally financially to the help of the Parent Body: Funds are needed to carry on the work and everybody will help by sending in what little there is in hand for the organization. Do your bit and keep the colors flying.
Self-socking Negroes Curse of Race—Garvey Advises Negroes of Harlem to All Vote for Royal H. Weller
Liberty Hall, New York, Sunday afternoon, October 26.—Liberty Hall was filled to capacity on the occasion of a special mass meeting arranged for the purpose of having the aims and objects of the Universal Negro Political Union presented. It was also announced that the Hon. Marcus Garvey, who recently returned to New York from a tour of the country, would explain why the union was supporting Royal H. Weller, white, for re-election to Congress, as against Dr. Charles H. Roberts, a Negro.
This question has been the subject of much discussion in Harlem ever since the Negro World announced its stand, and a coterie of Negro knockers, who, like the poor, are always with us, were not slow in trying to make capital of a "race issue," it no longer suited their purpose to describe the U. N. I. A. as the seat of race fanaticism.
The subject was handled by Mr. Garvey in a very convincing manner, his argument being warmly seconded by Louis H. Lavalle, a New York attorney, who characterized Dr. Roberts as being "devoid of race pride and race consciousness," and by the Hon. G. F. Carter, secretary-general of the U. N. I. A., and Sir William Sherrill, American leader. Mr. Garvey asked why was a weakling singled out for preferment, and bade Negroes remember that with them the question was two-fold—politics and economics. He opined that in a short time if Negroes of Harlem insisted on foisting Dr. Roberts upon their white employers as the representative of the latter in Congress, soon they might be forced to pack their suitcases and seek jobs elsewhere. In addition it would be the occasion of a false alarm being raised as to what the Negro intended to do in America, untold harm being done the Negro thereby throughout the country. He advised Negroes to make themselves industrially strong, as the Jew had done, and be in a position to employ their own. That way safety lay.
Following is the text of the speeches:
Hon. Marcus Garvey spoke as follows:
"We are LEGALIZE here THIS afternoon, making the admission of the Universal Negro Political Union. This is the first of a series of meetings that the Union will stage in Liberty Hall during the present political campaign for the purpose of educating the members of the Union, the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the Negroes of Harlem generally as to the real meaning of politics and at the same time to prepare them to vote during the forthcoming national election.
Politics is an important science. It is that science that protects those human rights that are not protected by law. It is the only medium or weapon at the disposal of a people who make up the citizenry of a country to show their pleasure or displeasure touching certain issues affecting them within the nation, within the government of which they form a part. And it is well that the people at all times be thoroughly educated up to their responsibility. It is for that reason that the Universal Negro Political Union came into existence. It was brought out at the last International Convention of the Negro peoples of the world that our race was universally in political strata, in political need, and for that reason the delegate representing the Negro peoples, not only in this country, but all over the world, thought it wise and proper that at this time we would organize within the Universal Negro Improvement Association, as an auxiliary, a distinct political institution that would be charged with the duty of protecting and looking after the political rights of the people everywhere. The Union is firmly established all over this country. We have 1,400 branches at the present time, organized by the 1,400 branches of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, all over the country, and we have given out from executive headquarters a program that is going to be followed during this campaign for the national election, and we want the Negroes of Harlem to be well acquainted with what has been done and what should be done. It is for that reason that we call you here this afternoon.
To Be Tricked No Longer
The time has come for the Negro to stop allowing himself to be bambooised and tricked and fooled by Tom, Dick and Harry. The time has comes for him to settle down on a policy of his own, in politics, in religion, in education, in society, in every walk of life. The Jew has a policy in politics and religion. Every group has a policy in politics and religion, and we think the time has come for the Jewish (or Hoolaow) a policy in politics and religion. We have laid down already our religious policy. That we widely dismused during the conquest and widely promulgated as a doctrine all over the world: and now we are laying down our political policy, and we want you to follow us carefully and authentically the afternoon as we associate, the policy in good old black blood.
to say at the outset, however, that the Universal Negro Political Union is different from all other Negro political organizations. Nobody gives us any money. We support our own policies and pay for them, so that we can be in a position to talk and to demand what we want. (Applause.) Nobody pays us to talk. They could not pay us to talk. We talk because we feel the righteousness of our expressions. We talk because we feel it our responsibility to talk in the interests of the people whom we represent. So that nobody can take credit for giving anybody identified with the Universal Negro Political Union one dime to say one word or to print one circular as touching our attitude and policy during this campaign. You know we believe in the old saying that the man who pays the fiddler calls the tune, and we are going to make sure that the only paymate: for the fiddler in this harmony of music that is to be played is going to be Negroes. And that is why we take this stand. It is a frank, open stand for righteousness and for good government.
No Money Taken
SIR WIK SHERILL'S ADDRESS
Sir William Sherill spells as follows.
As you know, the Universal Negro Imprisonment Association has a program for the race, for the entertainment, the progress and the elevation of black people. In the carrying out of its program, the Universal Negro Improvement Association uses every agency which will enable it to reach its objective. I want you to know that the addition never made a greater stride toward its objective than it did in the last convention, when it organized the Universal Negro Political Union. Ever since 1768, when that little group of Negroes, about seven in number, in Massachusetts presented to the Governor of Massachusetts a petition asking for the rights of enjoying all of the benefits of the revolution and for larger opportunities as citizens of this country, the Negro in America has been fighting for a chance and opportunity to express himself politically. The Negro has been fighting from that time to this for a chance to express himself politically. The white man in this country has an opportunity in all parts of the country to express himself on political issues. The major part of the Negro's activity has been an effort to get the opportunity of expressing himself, for the Negro finds himself directly disfranchised in some parts of the country and, indirectly, disfranchised in most parts of the country. There have been many efforts since the Negro has had the franchise to curtail the use of this franchise on the part of black man. There have been several attempts in this country to repeal the Fifteenth Amendment. We realize that right over here in Maryland, not very far from us, not so many years ago there was a vigorous attempt made to take from the black man the franchise. We realize in certain parts of the South there were attempts to put through the grandfather clause and other measures which would take from the black man the franchise. And, not going so far back, today we have a fight on in Oklahoma, and there is pending now a vigorous fight in the courts of this country to declare null and void the Fourteenth Amendment and take from the Negro his citizenship. I am rehearsing this to let you know the fight of the black man has to get the opportunity to exercise the right given to him constitutionally.
Interested In Outcome for Rage
Interested in Outcome for Race
The Negro in politics is interested more in what the outcome of the campaign is going to mean to him racially than he is as to what it is going to mean to the country generally. Conditions as they are now have compelled us to be that narrow—if you call it narrow. The Negro as a group finds himself peculiarly situated, finds the forces opposed to him exercising the rights belonging to him as a part of the Democratic government. I notice, when white politicians come to speak to Negro groups, rarely do they take up the weighty questions they discuss with white groups, but more often point out what he will be able to do for the Negro, because he is aware of the peculiar position that the Negro now occupies. The Negro cannot be so much concerned about the monopolies. The Negro cannot be so much concerned about what is going on in Wall Street about whether the United States is going to enter the League of Nations or not. The Negro cannot be so much concerned about whether or not the government is going to own railroads or the telephones, or whether they are to remain under private control, except as those things concern his racial problem. It is because the black man lives in this country under conditions that other American citizens who exercise the use of the ballot do not have to live. When the Negro thinks of his candidate, he thinks of Jim-crow cars; he thinks of the segregation laws and discrimination. When he thinks of his candidate, he thinks of the damnable housing conditions that he is forced to endure because he is restricted to certain parts of the city or the town. When the Negro thinks of his candidate, he thinks of the candidate in terms of his racial betterment and racial upift. If conditions in America were different we would not have to restrict our thoughts to such narrow lines. Hence when the Negro thinks of putting into office through his ballot men and women who are to represent him, the Negro can only, if he thinks logically and calmly, think in terms of that individual—not of the party, but of the man and what he will mean to our cause.
Men and Measures
Now the Universal Negro Improvement Association has only gone into politics to help the Negro reach the point the Negro has been trying to reach for the last 60 years in America, and the Universal Negro Improvement Association in lining up behind men, lines up behind them not as members of a party but as individuals. A fellow said to me in Hartford, one of the politicians there, "I was looking over your Negro World and I see you all have outlined your program, but you all will not be able to get much out of it as you are lined up." That Negro, just like the old-time politician, was thinking of how much money the candidate would give Sherrill or Garvey or Carter br. the members of the Universal for any certain things. In their favor. He was in the position of the old-time politician who was prepared to sell himself to the highest bidder. If the Republican party would guarantee him a good job after the election, or if the Republican boss would disch out of their small land enough money, he would speak for the Republican party telling the Negroes who did not think for themselves to vote Republican. But if he could get more money by turning Democrat overnight he would
tarm. Manhattan, New York, the National Negro League baseball organization is hot in politics in urban, that involvement might differ somewhat. Marvin Hewey is not in politics to go to Congress or to go to the Bainton, because Marvous Gauve realizes even though he got into the Senate there, would be little he could do for Negroes. There is no individual looking for a petty ward job, a job at the City Hall or at the Post Office. The Universal is living my behind individuals regardless of whether they be activists, Democrats, Republicans or what not, individuals who they feel will be of the to the Negro in the putting over of his credit program for racial救济. (Applicant.)
Changing the Tune
Now the Universal Negro Improvement Association since its entering politics has begun already to find out what an important step it has taken. On my way I found, individuals attending the meetings who never attended before. Politicians from the lowest to the highest both white and black attended to find out what the Universal Negro Improvement Association had to say in that locally regarding the candidates You know the U. N. I. A. has had a deal of trouble mainly because the little, cheap Negro politician as well as cheap white politician have embarrassed the Universal Negro Improvement Association by representing to the white political bosses and the parties in control that the Universal in this country had practically no vote. Many Negroes in this country believe what they see in the Chicago Defender, the Pittsburgh Courier and other Negro newspapers and agencies fighting the U. L. I. A. about Marcus Garvey having only a few West Indian Negroes in New York following him. Now the U. N. I. A. has caused that tune to be changed. Since the U. N. I. A. on the 2d of September filed with President Coolidge that petition signed by one million American Negroes, which is only part of a petition of four millions that we are filing with the government, when the Negro politicians saw that petition contained the signatures of thousands of Negroes outside of the State of New York, and that there was not a signature on it from the State of New York, they began to change their tune and said, "You know I have never been against the Universal Negro Improvement Association." (Laughter.)
Friends, this great political union asks those of you who understand your duty as well as your privilege as a voter to use your ballot for the forwarding of your cause as a race. The Negro as a race for the first time is going into politics to bring about results for the race and not for individuals. I feel it is a duty that devolves upon every Negro leader in politics to have in view, if he has any desire for racial service, the betterment and uplift of his race. When the Negro makes himself felt as a mighty factor in the politics of America, even before you get to Africa there will be a whole lot of things in America you will get which you were not getting heretofe. (Applause.)
HON. G. E. CARTER'S ADDRESS
Hon. G. E. Carter, Secretary-General of the U. N. I. A., said he would confine his remarks to some impressions he gained the preceding Thursday night as he listened to the various speakers at that great political meeting. There was a statement in Mr. Flood's talk he desired to deal with Mr. Flood had said that from observation and within the fullness of his experience and contact he had reached the conclusion that only 8 per cent of the people thought; 10 per cent of the people thought they thought and 88 per cent. were like sheep following somebody else. He agreed with what Mr. Flood had in say and would prove that in the hall that night as far as followers of that party were concerned; 85 per cent. were just like sheep. Mr. Flood gave this illustration. He said he took a stick and the leader of the flock jumped over the stick, then the stick was removed, and the whole flock when it came to that spot jumped, just as though the stick were still there. It was noticeable, however, that the members of the U. N. I. A. present were not vociferous in their applause as the others. And what was the reason? Simply because Marcus Garvey in the Universal Negro Improvement Association for some five years had been trying to get the Negro thinking, and when you get Negro thinking they do not act in any other way that will redound to their credit and honor.
Mr. Carter also referred to the address of Mrs. Dunbar Nelson, who he said, had made out a most excellent case for Mr. Davis. But the U. N. I. A. members did not swallow the bait because they realised that Mrs Nelson was most enclosed with getting personal advancement after the election.
Bill Lewis also, said Mr. Carter, made a wonderful argument, explaining why he left the Republican for the Democratic party. He explained it was because the Republican party had taken a stop and had put Trump in the White House as Secretary to the President, and, because the President would not denounce the Ku Klux Klan. But that did not have any effect on anybody in the Universal Negro Improvement Association because the U. N. I. A. members realized that there was a man, leaving one party because, as he said, it had taken a certain attitude, and was going to the party which was the dody and manny of that attitude.
The attitude of the U. N. I. A. was based on the one statement emanating from the lips of Mercuri Gervay,
but that she said that the Mint will
be her husband's emperor, empress and
about my son we did not know who
he is and who is not.
The emperor then asked her
answer not to vote for Dr. Charles M.
Roberts because the latter had
designed to give her more authority
the position of the M. W. and
would not be the judge. It was the
duty of Washington to vote for him and
believe in them. She should therefore
vote for Royal M. William.
NEW YORK ATTORNEY DE-
NOUNCER BARBERTS
Attorney Louis H. Layale delivered a rousing address in the course of which he lambasted Dr. Charles H. Roberts, who he said had done nothing during his term as alderman to merit the support of Negroes. Roberts was out of tune with the masses and should, stick to his last—look after his dentist, work. "He has no race pride or race ennaccesiveness," said Mr. Layale, and he would be the finest kind of preparation to please the Southern Democracies. He is a political nonentity. I say that being devoid of race pride. Selected by five white men, he is unfit to represent this race. Five white men choosing a Negro leader! It cannot be done. He is a deceiver and a hypersexual. Keep him in Harlem, where he ought to be. Congress is not a dental parlor."
WHY ROBERTS MUST NOT BE
SUPPORTED
Hon. Marcus Garvey: I am going to give my reasons why we are not supporting Dr. Charles H. Roberts as a candidate from the 11th Congressional District for Congress, and why we are supporting Royal H. Weller for reelection. Everybody knows the position and the attitude of the Universal Negro Improvement Association on the race question. Everybody knows that among the Negroes of this country and the world, among all the Negro movements in this country and the world, the Universal Negro Improvement Association does not stop at anything, does not take off its hat to anybody for is stand on the race question, with good judgment. There are certain things a man can do in his home that he cannot do next door, and sometimes you must not interpret what the man says inside his home as being what he would do next door, otherwise you will see him in trouble. Now, on certain issues, and this is where some people do not understand the Universal Negro Improvement Association, on certain issues we have absolutely no compromise on the race question. When it comes to religion we have no compromise. When it comes to international politics we have no compromise. When it comes to certain things not localized we have absolutely no compromise about the attitude of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. But there are times when you have to use good judgment.
A Two-Fold Question
A two-word question
This political question is truly political for the white man in America. For the Negro it is a political and an economic question. And that is where the Universal Negro Improvement Association interprets politics different to the average Negro who is making a lot of noise now about politics. It is politics through and through for the white man and nothing else but politics. Be he Democrat or Republican, it is just politics with him. With the Negro it is politics and economics. If you don't understand what I mean it is politics and your grub basket. And that is why we cannot make in Harlem a race issue out of this campaign.
Now, understand, we cannot make in Harlem at this time a race issue of electing a member to Congress. We can make it a race issue putting a Negro grocery here and putting a Jew out of business there. It is something confined to that section of the street. We can make it a race issue of a colored man being insulted by a white man on the street. It is purely a local matter. But the electing of a Negro from a district so situated like this, envisioned like this, to Congress do not a local question. It becomes a national question. And let me tell you. You talk about your friends. Beware of Greeks bearing gifts. The nomination of Dr. Charles Roberts was nothing more than a trick to arouse the fire of the 90,000,000 white people of this country against the Negro, and to give the white people of this country a weapon by which they could seek in another 10 or 15 years to disfranchise the Negro in the North as they did during the reconstruction days in the South. Witness:
Why did they not nominate a real man for the position? Why did they seek a puppet and a weakling? Because they have their motive behind it. And let me tell you Negroes of Harlem if you become crazy and mad enough to vote for Dr. Roberta on the fourth of November. I do not give you more than three or six months when everyone will pick your suitcases and hike out of Harlem looking for a job elsewhere in the United States. It is nothing else but a trick to get that Negro elected and then further strengthen the power and the hands of the Ku Klux Klan in America to give them the easy argument to say, "Do you see what the Negro means to do in this country?" And I tell you there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth among our folks in this country if you make such a said mistake on the fourth of November when you go to the poll to mark your ballot.
There are a lot of things I cannot tell you. You must judge for yourselves. But I will tell you this: Watch your step, because your grab basket is 1. danger. Let Roberts go to hell. (Asplause.) Hold on to your job. If you respect your family, if you respect your bread and butter, if you respect your job, then on the 4th of November let Dr. Roberts go to hell. You will un-

Protecting Interests
Politics is not only for politics' sake Politics is a science to protect other rights. It is through politics that the industry of a community is protected; and let me tell you the people who control this community we live in are the people who employ you downtown, and at this time they are not disposed to have Charles H. Roberts represent them; and because, by accident, you are living up here and working downtown. If you are and vote for Charles Roberts you will later on have to reckon with your job. It is a question of your bread and butter. Can Charles Roberts employ you? Can those Negroes behind Roberts employ you? Put all of them together and they don't employ 10 persons. I am not talking of the white folks who, for diplomatic reasons, nominated him. You know why those Negroes are supporting Roberts. They hope to enhance their graft by having Roberts there. They are the same Negroes who are charging 50 per cent more rent than the white men. The capitalist Negro in Harlem is the follow behind Roberts, because they believe they can use Roberts to further enrich themselves and empower you. You have the same right with that bunch of grafting, selfish Negroes as the white folks have with their bunch of grafting, selfish white folks; and so the white folks in the labor unions, the Socialist group and the Progressive group are keeping their eyes on that selfish group of white people who are attempting to rob and exploit, so have you to keep your eyes on those selfish Negroes who have been crushing you for the last 20 years.
Nothing In Common
You, the workingman, have nothing in common with Dr. Charles Roberts at this time. There is a deep-seated plot in this country, and the white people of this country are watching the outcome of the Negro in politics, and if you slip you are doomed, and Dr. Charles Roberts is only used as a bait to get you in the position where white folks want to have you. You know what the Ku Klux Klan is doing now. The Ku Klux Klan is compiling a book to distribute among all the people of their faith in this country. That book is to be a catalog of all the people they should deal with and whom they should not deal with. And if you provoke this issue, they will have a book circulated over this country of whom to employ and whom not to employ. Look out and watch your step.
You will say, how is it, Gerry, you, a leader of Negroes, tell us not to send Dr. Roberts to Congress at this time when the Jews have members in Congress. And I will answer you. The Jew is not only in politics. The Jew is also in industry and commerce. The Republican does not employ the Jew; the Democrat does not employ the Jew; the Ku Klux Klan does not employ the Jew. The Jew employs himself. Therefore, even if the Jew in his neighborhood elects a Jewish Congressman on a question of race, even though the whole nation desires to rebel, it does not affect one Jewish member of that neighborhood, because they are employed by themselves in their own factories and business corporations. Negroes, by whom are you employed?
Lay the Foundation
Therefore, if you want to elect a Congressman, as God knows you want; if we want to elect representatives to government, as God knows you want, you have to do the one essential thing, and that is, lay the proper foundation. White people don't go to Congress because it is a political question, but because they have their interests to protect. Negroes, get your interests to protect and then you will be able to talk as loud as Jew or Catholic, as loud as anybody in this country, for your political rights. But so long as you are eating out of my hand, you
and better be careful of what power you have.
And the Universal Negro Improvement Association is taking the one and only step toward political representation. For the Negro, in America and everywhere, and that is by laying down a solid industrial foundation. When you can employ the Black Negro who like it in Harlem we can treat Congregations and everything else. But so long as your job is at all the money of the other fellow, you better be careful how you offend him. Do you know where this district runs? It runs into one of the richest sections of New York, it runs into Riverside Drive, where all the big millionaires live, with millions of interests in corporations downtown that employ you Negroes. Do you think these men will want Roberts to represent them? If Dr. Roberts belonged to a different group, to a group of Negroes interested in commercial and industrial development of Negroes, then possibly I would have different language. But who is he but a selfish Negro who is trying to get himself instinctively enhanced at the expanse of other Negroes? Why should fifteen million Negroes of America suffer to get an insignificant Negro like Roberts sent up to Congress at this time? Roberts will do us more harm-in Congress at this time than good. It is for that reason that the Universal Negro Improvement Association in Harlem takes a stand against him and intends to use every bit of its energy, ability and resources to see to it that the fifteen million Negroes in this country are not endangered through the personal desire of one insignificant Negro who has no more love for this race of ours than the worst white man.
Don't let it leak out downtown that you will vote for Robarts because he is a black man, because you will get it in your neck, because he will say if you will elect black men to interfere with my interests in Congress because he. is black, then I will employ white folks to look after my interests down here. Do you know we could not feed ourselves in Harlem for thirty days? And I am appealing to you not to let this insignificant Negro endanger your job. (Applause.)
Howard University Opens With Renewed Life and Vigor
WASHINGTON, D. C. — Formal opening of Howard University for the school year, 1924-28, was held Wednesday, October 1, in the Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel on the University Campus. The exercises in connection with the opening included a processional of the academi faculty from the steps of the University Carnegie Library to the Chapel where the student-body were assembled. The processional was led by by Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, president of the university, and Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer. Following the processional President Durkee delivered his opening address to the assembled faculty and student-body.
Registration of students in the college department of the university has been in process since Friday, September 26, but has not yet been completed. Indications point to a record-breaking registration in the college department. Registration in the professional schools, including medicine, dentistry, pharmacy and law, began Wednesday. According to the number of applications which have been received during the summer from persons wishing to enter these departments, it is expected that they will have large enrollments. This is especially true of the medical department, which even before the middle of the summer had reached its limit of fifty students in the entering class, and was compelled to turn away a large number of applicants.
The Howard University School of Law held its formal opening Wednesday evening at the Law School Building, 420 Fifth street, N. W. The faculty and students of the law school had as their guests of honor at the opening exercises the president and secretary-treasurer of the university, and Dr. M. O. Dumas and Mr. Andrew Hillyer, members of the board of trustees. The outlook for a successful school year at Howard is very bright. Every factor in the university life is pledged to whole-hearted co-operation for the development of the school.

[The fellewing article on British Honduras by Rev. F.T. Burchell, B.A. white
Wesleyan preacher and teacher, ie reproduced from the Irish Christian Advocate,
July 11, WOK, The article has created quite « stir in Bélize, British Honduras,
exception being taken te the reverend gentlemen's alleged exaggerative treat-
ment of his eubject. While. Mr. Burchell's picture is, perhaps, overdrawn, we think
the article contains a few truths, and is worthy of the attention of every Hon-
duranean. Mr. Burchell frankly confesses his alarm at the growing race con-
soiousness of the Negre, and fears the day of judgment. That much ie apparent.
We Invite pertinent comment from our Feaders—~Editor The Nears Werld.}
Rey. F, T. Burchell wrote Mr. Merrick of the Wesley Guild, Cork,
Ireland, as follows: : =

LET'S PUT IT OVER
WHICH PARTY WILL WIN LOOKS MUCH LIKE A CHINESE PUZZLE
As the campaign draws to the end and election day gets in sight it is quite remarkable to find that the prophets are all confused as to which party will win in what has become a three-cornered contest. The most partisan newspapers do not appear to be so cock-sure in their forecasts as in former years, and cautiously discuss the possibilities without making extravagant claims.
The drift of public opinion appears to be in favor of President Coolidge, whom President-General Garvey has asked the members of the Universal Negro Political Union to support, while many think that Senator La Follette and his Progressive party will lead Mr. Davis in the voting; others still think that the voting will be so divided between the three as to throw the election into Congress, which nobody wants.
Mr. Davis and Senator La Follette have both made an extensive campaign of speaking, while President Coolidge has left the talking for the Republicans to be done by others than himself, for the most part. As President he has adopted the very dignified position of not making any personal appeal to the voters, and he has made many friends by so doing, although many think he has lost votes by it. At this writing he seems to be the strongest of the candidates, but which party will win the election looks much like a Chinese puzzle.
President-General Garvey says vote for Calvin Coolidge.
HELP YOURSELF AND THEN YOU CAN HELP OTHERS
THE principle of union in organization among Negroes has had its highest development in the building up of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The strength of the organization and the loyalty of its membership has been a matter of astonishment to those who could not be made to believe such organization of Negroes possible. The example of such organization has gone further than to confuse individual doubters; it has caused the governments of the United States and Europe to wake up to the fact that what has been accomplished in the organization of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is possible with the racial groups which they rule but do not always include in their citizenship nor give equal protection of their life and property, and that such organization of such racial groups is a direct challenge to such discrimination against such groups.
The protest of the 124 African chiefs, lodged with the South African Parliament, against the British armed forces in Uganda, shows what organization can accomplish as a protest and what may happen if the protest is ignored. What these independent chiefs have done other independent chiefs may be encouraged to do in Africa, and that is what the British government does not want. But the spirit of getting together in organization is abroad in Africa as never before, and much of the spirit has been brought about through the organization of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its persistent insistence that Africa should belong to Africans and not to Europeans. The African people are learning how to help themselves by organizing and agitating to do for themselves what others will not do for them and to prevent others from doing to them those things which they do not want done to them.
The individual is the unit of organization. It should be the supreme business of each individual member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to help himself wherever he may be, so that he may have as much character and material things as possible, and so that being in a good condition he can help other members as well as respond most liberally and cheerfully to the needs of the association.
WHITE LEADERSHIP OF ISLAM A DELUSION AND A SNARE
THE fact is being brought home as never before in the history of mankind that the race that has not its own standards of social, civil and economic morals and its own leadership will fail utterly under the leadership of aliens, however loyal and devoted they may be to the cause. They may mean well, and often do, but there is a something which makes their efforts to carry the people to the consumption of their hopes and aspirations a failure. We cannot understand why it is so. If we could there would not, perhaps, be the confusion in the inter-racial relations of mankind that always makes for strife and confusion.
The alien leadership is always the unbidden guest at the council board. It was so in the councils of the Christian powers before and after the World War, and it has been so in the same councils ever since.
The Christian world is in doubt and uncertainty because those who dominate it are not in their own development but in that of another people. How can a Gentile correctly interpret the histology and spiritual philosophy of Ham and Japhet in the Tents of Shem? Who has been done. They have adopted the histology and phil-
eoughly as their own but they do not understand them, and never have. Will they ever? Wandaubt it.
The release of Omanan Digna, the Serce Arab leader, by the British government, after twenty-two years of solitary confinement in an Egyptian prison, and who has just gone on pilgrimage to Mecca, when over a hundred years old, recalls the fact that he was the central figure in the Madhist uprising against British rule in the African Sudan, in the Holy War of the Prophet, and that his failure threw the Mohammedan world back into the arms of the Turkish authorities who have always used it more in their interest in dealing with European powers than in the interests of the African and Asiatic Moslems, the 300,000,000 of whom have now been relieved of the Turkish intrigueants, by the Angora government, under the leadership of Mustapha Kemal, which has abolished both the sultanate and the caliphate, and left the Asiatic and African Mohammedans free to manage their own affairs. These-latter have been waging a war among themselves over control of Mecca and the authority which inheres in it in succession from the Prophet.
In discussing this strife of the faithful over the Holy City of the Prophet the New York Times says: "The Moslem of non-Turkish blood knew Pan-Islamism for what it was designed—a political weapon to be used for Ottoman purposes." When it could no longer be used to serve the purposes of the Ottoman he threw the Moslems down. Now, instead of waging a war against the Christians, they are waging war among themselves; and, until that is settled, the Christian nations will continue to dominate and exploit the Mohemmedan people of Asia and Africa. They will be helpless until they realize that union is necessary, with cultural and spiritual ideals of their own to guide them. They have nothing to expect from leaders of an alien race and religion who have conquered them and rule and tax them with "a long arm and a high hand."
The Universal Negro Improvement Association stands for the nationalization of Africa for Africans, based upon African ideals and culture, with its own leadership, and there can be no future for the Negro people as a people without these.
AMERICA ON TRIAL IN ITS HOME AND WORLD CONTACTS
TIME was when Europe was the dominating influence in the history of mankind, and when Great Britain was the giant among nations. That was not so long ago. The World War was the turning point, and the decisive question turned out to be, not the military supremacy of Germany as against France, but the question of racial equality raised by Japan after the war. This question, on the surface, had nothing to do with the beginning or conduct of the war. It came up in the peace conference without warning. When the allied nations denied the contention of the Japanese they offended all of the off-color people of Asia and Africa and the islands of the seas, and laid the foundation for future strife, the end of which is not in sight.
The crucial question, we say, in closing up the issues of the World War, was that of racial equality and the self-determination of minorities. On both these questions the nations failed to come up to the conditions of the Christian test of "brotherhood" and "the stranger within the gates," and in doing so transferred the dominating influence in world affairs from Europe to the Occident and the supremacy of the nations from Great Britain to the United States. What the outcome will be in the course of events, and how the final history of the United States will be written depends entirely upon the questions of racial equality and self-determination of minority races and groups.
In a recent radio address, under the auspices of the National Security League, discussing Chinese exclusion, Mr. Milton Sutton said:
"Just why our Constitution, drawn up by men who thought they were penning a bill of human rights, should be interpreted as the exclusive property through all the ages of three color groups, red, white and black, and only these three, is more than one can understand. But that is the present reading of our law. It is our law and we must accept responsibility for it until we change it.
"If we have such a desperate time granting freedom and equality of opportunity to the Japanese who are at this particular junction the most educated, progressive and Americanlike of all the people of the East, what is to become of us when the millions of China, India and Africa, tomorrow and the day after, struggle to their knees and then to their feet and finally stand facing us eye to eye, claiming a place-with us as our peers. If we cannot make this adjustment, there is nothing ahead but disaster. It is not Japan, but America that is on trial in this present situation."
It will be news to many who have not given the subject any thought that our Constitution recognizes three race groups—the Red, Black, and White—as making its citizenship, and, as Mr. Sutton says, it is not easy to understand why the citizenship should be restricted to these three to the exclusion of all other race groups. Such is the fact, however. Now, the life of the American people will be determined in the last analysis by how its three race groups are treated and how alien races; like the Japanese and other Asiatics, are treated in international relations. That is really what Mr. Sutton means when he says that America is on trial. It has been placed on trial just as Europe was during the Christian era, and treatment of the racial question is the test with the United States as it was with Europe. Will America fail, as Europe failed, in the final settlement?
EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS
---
Bloodhounds, posse, mob, patrol riders, and their sort, are survivals of the days of slavery and should be done away with. The South will never be the place to live in that it should until they are done away with. That's the truth—Norfolk Journal and double. Times change and wise men change with them—Baltimore Afro-American. You will never get ahead unless you use the one you have—Rocky Mount Voice.
What is polite lying? Is it a state of mind? Is it a fad among certain people whose training has not been severe enough to actuate them in telling the truth? Is it countenanced in our day as a virtue, or is it condemned as a vice? What are its effects upon the practitioner? What is the reaction of sincere people to it? What, in short, is polite lying?—California Eagle.
Don't abuse people because they point out your mistakes. The beat thing for you to do in the matter is to try to correct them. Portland Advocate.
Americans cannot have good jobs at good wages if we destroy these principles. We must learn as a race, what benefits the rich, benefits the poor in like proportion. Red Bank Echo.
So let us have good homes, clean homes, as well as comfortable homes, where our children, may be reared in love and sunshine, and to which the
foot caps of father will be directed just as soon as he is released from office or workshop. Better homes means better people, cleaner and better thinking with better habits; therefore, better governments, because of better citizens. Let us have better homes. -Pacific Defender.
The Negro who knocks his own newspapers is really a stumbling block to the colored man's success. -Oklahoma Eagle.
The Monitor predicts that before many years colored men will be playing on or with the big baseball leagues of the land. In league baseball as if other affairs, business, professional, musical and theatrical we are coming. -Omaha Monitor.
Many Negroes brought up into what the psycho-analysts would call a racial inferiority complex allow their minds to be blased by a current opinion originating in feelings with which they have no sympathy: a fault peculiar to men in their state who defer too much to existing prejudices, and thus become the slaves of sentiment bitterly unworthy, of them—Star of Zion.
There is no question but that there are those who would push the Negro race off the face of the earth and the main source of the concession which comes to the race is that the right-thinking men and women of the white race are in the majority, and are more
THOSE WHO DREAM DREAMS AND THOSE WHO SEE VISIONS. By T. Thomas Fortune
I have long been interested in the prophecy in Joel that "your sons and daughters shall prophecy, your old men shall dream dreams; your young men shall see visions," because, perhaps, in my youth I seemed to live in an atmosphere of visions and in my old age in an atmosphere of dreams.
My contacts have been such as a journalist that I have seen into the minds of many people as they write their thoughts, and through much of it all there has seemed to run a suggestion of the substance that makes dreams and visions seem real. It is wonderful to read a hundred articles and only ten of them free from some fault of conception or treatment that makes it appear that the authors were thinking one way and writing another. This is especially true of those who think they can write poetry. Most of such have never studied the rules of verse making. They have had a dream or a vision and they just sit down and write what they imagine they have dreamed or seen. It is all very interesting, but it doesn't get anywhere because it doesn't start from anywhere.
What the world demands and must have, in prose and verse, is a dream or a vision that can be translated into terms of fact. Why? Because the world is no longer influenced by dreams and visions. It is influenced only by facts. For every something you must match something. That is to say, the world is no longer imaginative; it is almost entirely materialistic in its thought, word and act. The Golden Rule, being literally translated, means the rule of gold. And that is what we are in contact with. We can't meet it with dreams and visions; we must meet it with facts. Persons who have much imagination, as you and I, must have niore cold-blooded thought that will square with facts or we stand to be put out on the sidewalk by the landlord or denied credit at the grocery because we have gone too far in being carried by the grocer. "Pay today and I'll trust you tomorrow," has nothing of dream or vision in it. It is awfully materialistic.
One of the reasons why the Negro people have such a hard time of it to get by everywhere, I have thought, is because they belong to the prophetic race, the race that sees visions and dreams dreams, and are out of touch with the materialism which is cold and unfeeling and unimaginative.
The world does not treat dreamers and those who see visions very kindly. It is rude to them. It thinks they are cranks, or fakers, or crazy people. It has come to pass that poets are no longer listened to whom they sing, and fiction writers are not regarded as being of sound and disposing mind, who do not picture for us a Main street or a central city with people that we recognize and with whom we are in some sort acquainted. The acceptable fiction must be largely coated with the varnish of fact. This takes all of the dream and vision out of it and reduces it to the dry as dust prose which spells dollars and pennies in the last analysis.
The modern world does not take much stock in those who dream dreams and see visions. It imagines they are crazy.
powerful and further, they will combine their forces with those of the Negro in stemming the tide of hate which carries along with it every conceivable means of unkind and unjust action.—East Tennessee News.
There are all sorts of courage in the world, but the best and bravest courage of which we know, is for a man or a woman to sit down calmly, take an inventory of faults, weaknesses and other detrimental qualities, then start in to eliminate them just as one would pull weeds out of the garden. Excuses are useless. Analyse, but don't explain or apologise. Just get the thing done.—Detroit Independent.
We must have children with healthy minds and bodies. The duty is absolute that we safeguard them in these necessary requirements. If a vigilance committee composed of all the Negro citizens of this community must be formed to safeguard our rights, then we stand ready to lend all possible aid. —Pittsburgh American.
In health, the body has to have food in order to keep the body temperature at the correct degree, to supply energy for movement and mental as well as other nervous expenditure—food to provide for the building of ordinary tissue, and enough for the repair of tissue, which is being destroyed every hour of the day, and there must be a slight surplus for storage. That amount of use for food requires that for an average adult man there must be, between 2,500 to 3,000 calories of heat supplied by the day's meals. To get this much food, there must be at least three square and hearty meals served. This may startle you. A man of average build, sick with an infectious disease and running a high temperature, must be supplied with about 25 per cent. more nourishment than he would get in health! That is, he must get every 24 hours more food than would be incorporated in three hearty meals. This seems strange at first, but if you will think a moment you will see that it is reasonable. In an infectious disease, you have to overcome a rapid destruction of tissue, and you must provide for a higher temperature. Let us see.
In pneumonia, there is an abnormally large amount of destruction going on and it must be repaired. Fever means that the poliose, which are being circulated, are causing disturbances in the heat regulating system and in fever, unless extra food is supplied, the tissues throughout the body are being used for fuel. (That is why a patient who has a high fever gets thin. He is burning his fat and his muscle tissue). This must not be allowed. Extra food must be given so that the body may be saved.
Poliose must be eliminated as rapidly and thoroughly as possible; therefore, much water must be given in order to hasten the action of the kidneys and help the intestines to carry off the waste.
"But how can you feed a sick person so much and provide enough water?" you ask. This I will tell you in the next article.

WHERE BLAIRS IN NEW YORK HAVE HOPES Looking After the Election for a Square Deal Under the Stars and Stripes and Should Have It
With election and the opening of the next Congress near at hand, the Negroes of the three West Indian islands which Uncle Sam took over from Denmark have guided up their knees more and are adjoining themselves seriously to the task of wringing from the hard hands of a Naval Administration some compliance of that "honor, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" which their fellow Americans on the mainland enjoy. In the city of New York, Virgin Islands are, coming together as they never did before to concert plans and measures for a clear unity and a more effective use of their force, while in the islands the natives are forming in mass formation to stand up man-fashion and demand what is inherently thela. The islands are becoming depopulated through the natives leaving for other fields of endeavor, caused by economic depression, barbarous legislation and judicial oppression.
What is America going to do for these unfortunate people? Are their plans and appeals to be in vain? Are they not an integral-part of this great American family? Have they not sworn allegiance to "Old Glory," in that they clamored for American ownership of their islands—in short, did they not denounce their birthright for America? Are all these things to go unnoticed? There is a beighter and a better day soon to dawn for these struggling people. Election will soon be over; then we are sure the legislative body of the nation will give to the Virgin Islands a civil form of government, American laws and make the natives American citizens, to enjoy the privileges as such. These are the things for which they ask.
Yet, the people, with all the disadvantages which have confronted them, have kept their courage up, and are closing their ranks for the conflict of the future. And, in the meanwhile, the Virgin Islanders over here, in cooperation with their countrymen at home, are drafting a constructive program that looks toward results that are more material than mere protest. Besides, political and propaganda work they are planning to give economic assistance to their people, to help them in getting the most out of themselves and out of their country.
Although there have been many removals of governors and government officials from the Virgin Islands, the old evils are still in existence, even though the Administration at Washington and civil organizations have dematched competent investigators from time to time to visit the islands and make extended reports upon the actual conditions which they may have found. This is so much to the good. But the natives of the Virgin Islands have made up their own minds to agitate until they win their just demands for political recognition, a civil administration of the islands and unhampered industrial and economic opportunity. They insist that the craziest judiciary which deals out injustice and insult in large doses must go. It must make way for a better breed of public servants who will administer law because they know what it is, and who at the same time recognize their common American citizenship with the dusky thousands whose happiness must be the aim of every public official.
This should be more so in the case of Mr. Washington Williams, the only judge of the highest court in the islands, whose appointment came from the Governor over the protest of thousands of Virgin Islanders and their American sympathizers. This Washington Williams is a Negro-hating "cracker" from Maryland, and it can be seen by anyone who has been studying the facts relating to the Ku Klux Klan that the type of Southerner Williams is and the truth are no more friendly than the Turks and the Greeks when the Negro is involved.
But Virgin Islanders in New York are bending their point efforts toward a funding of forces for a patroltie drive on a large scale and are, urging their people here and at home to unite in the interest of their common cause to put aside bickering and personal plaque, cowardice and indifference.
HOW LONG AS SLAVES?
O Sons of Ethiopia arise!
There are grave truths that we must realize:
The die, is cast, and we will have to fight;
We cannot singly stand, we must unite.
How long, how long shall we remain as slaves?
Let's try for once to imitate the brave who fought to make their people so supreme.
Who dreamed and acting, realised their dream.
How long shall we continue to distrust
Our fellow men who aim at being just,
Who are more competent in work than we.
Who now would die that our race might be free.
Shall we not cast all selfishness aside
And in a leader show we can confide?
Let's give support, or get out of the way.
Of honest men who strive for us each day.
Remain as slaves! No; that can never be!
Some needs must die that others might be free.
Are we afraid to die? Nine is a coward.
Let's join the ranks of those who march enward.

Congressman Royal H. Weller Given Rousing Reception in Liberty Hall-Lieut. Governor George R. Lunn Delivers Address
LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday Night, October 26. In conformity with the policy adopted by the Universal Negro Improvement Association at the last international convention to interest itself in national and international politics under the auspices of the Universal Negro Political Union, the New York local, in regular meeting tonight, departed from its usual Sunday night program and afforded some of the candidates on the national and State ticket for election at the polls on November 4, an opportunity to present their claims for the suffrage of the people. About 5,000 people were present and listened with earnest attention to the speeches of some of the candidates on the Democratic ticket, among whom were Hon. George Lunn, lieutenant-governor of the State of New York, Hon. Royal H. Weller, candidate for Congress, and Hon. Thomas Churchill, candidate for the Supreme Court bench of New York State.
Hon. Marcus Garvey presided over the meeting and in introducing the speakers, took opportunity to express the sentiment of the Universal Negro Improvement Association towards the candidates seeking elective office, and the reasons why the membership of the association would support those candidates who had been chosen by the Universal Negro Political Union as fit and proper persons to represent them in the affairs of the State and nation. The political union, he said, was supporting Coolidge for President, but Smith for governor of New York.
Hon. Royal H. Weller was the first candidate to speak and scored the record which the Republican party had made during the present administration. He said the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association was Negro liberty and they could not get it through the Republican party. The Republican party, he said, offered nothing, while the Democratic party offered all.
Lieut.-Gloe. Linn denounced the campaigning tactics of Mr. Roosevelt, the Republican candidate for Governor of New York State, and said the present State administration under Governor Al Smith, has been economical, efficient, clean and free from scandal. It has been a long while, he said, but a gradual education has brought about in this country the conviction that the great masses of our colored people are surer of equal rights under a Democratic administration than they are under a Republican administration in the State.

MR. GARVEY INTRODUCES CON
GRESSMAN WELLER
Hop Mister Garvey in introducing
their new book to the public,
a friend whom I am going to
serve with a friend whose name
we have right, because of his knowledge
of the glorious and because of his
quietness with the people whom
he is supposed to serve with.
I am going to serve with the
people whom the
New Yorkers are supposed to serve with.
I told you that
it was the first time that the
New Yorkers played the city of New York
in the play two years.
and will be present at this particular time in waiting at our office in Queens Roosevelt. The expedition I only gave you the information. I only versal Negro Improvement Association this, subtly no negroity to offer no non-compliance to its attitude and on its stand, and its full strength is bound to the H. Weller for representation. It is to your political interest, it is to your economic interest, it is to your general interest to return him to Congress, and I am at this time going to introduce to you a friend of the colored people of this neighborhood - our representative in Congress for the last two years and our representative for the next two years - Hon. Royal H. Weller. (Applause.)
HON. WELLER SPEAKS
words of introduction by your distinguished leader I feel constrained myself to join and sing that old hymn "Stand up; Stand up for Jesus." I am not unmindful, my friends, of the component that the lady paid me, and so when I sing the hymn—as I do occasionally, I am also going to remember that your leader here—the distinguished man that he is in your affairs, is going to stand up for me, and therefore I am going to ask you to join in the good old hymn and all of you stand up for Weller. Why do I say that, my friends? You hear a lot of talk sometimes in politics about a man being a friend of the people. What does a friend of the people mean? If it something that you talk about before lecture and is forgotten after election? Oh, no, my friends. A friend of the people is a man whose heart is in the right place—whose heart beats right, as your leader said. A man who has the interest of folks of the neighborhood; who knows what the neighborhood wants; who knows what the people of the district want; who has the common feelings of humanity running through his veins just the couple as any other normal man.
Now what is there, my friends, here for me? You heard the words of your distinguished leader. I know what it is to run for Congress in Harlem. I know the proposition that I am up against. I understand full woll that unless you know me you necessarily would not be inclined to vote for me. That is natural. So like a man selling a bill of goods, I have got to sell myself to you. How am I going to do that? Two years ago you elected me as your representative in Congress and I have been on the job two years. I have necessarily got to talk about
myself a little bit new and who I am. Well, I was born and brought up here and went to school over at 1858 street and Lenox avenue. I learned to swim as a kid right down at the foot of this street — 1858 street and Harlem river. I have lived all my life here and, God willing, I am going to live the balance of my life here.
The Dyer Bill
Now what is to be done? I am on the Democratic ticket running for Congress. He woan any man running for Congress on the Democratic ticket know any better than the man of the district knows what the needs of you folks here are than I do. And what was done? We got down there in Congress, two years ago, and we had a bill called the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill. That bill had been introduced in the Republican. Congress the year before and the Republican-party had pussy-footed, and had refused to pass that bill. The bill was re-introduced last year and it came before the committee that I was on, and I saw that that bill came to the floor of the House. But could you get all the Republicans of the House to take it up? Could you get the Republicans of the House to interest themselves in it? Don't fool yourselves; the Republicans were only willing to make a comblance of trying to get through the bill. They had a Republican President, a Republican House and a Republican Senate. Had they chosen to put that bill through, it could have been put through and become law, but they didn't do it.
Now, who has the interest of the colored man at heart? You have all seen the letter Shat has been passed around here. You all know what Howard University means to the colored man—the highest school of learning that we have in the United States, situated as it is in the city of Washington. It was through my work that Congress appropriated $125,000 to put through that dental school at Howard University, and if you don't believe you have only to write to Dr. Durkee, because I have in my pocket a letter that Dr. Durkee wrote a friend of mine. Now that is what we do in the Democratic party for the people of the district here, which I have the honor to represent.
"Democrata Offer All
We are interested in your folks. Your program as your distinguished chairman said the program of the universal Negro Improvement Association, in Negro liberty. Negro liberty; that is what you want. You want it and you cannot get it through the Republican party. What would you think and what would honest people think of the Republican party if they knew of it. Toapot Dome scandal? The Republican party offers you nothing. The Democratic party offers you all.
What has the Democratic party done? It has appointed men of the colored race to important positions in public office. We know that Mr. Morton, and we know that others have been appointed in the city of New York by that distinguished Democrat, John F. Hylan. We know that over 300 of the people of Harlem here are now working on the payroll of the city of New York, and they have procured those positions because they were Democrats and because they were members of the Democratic party. The Democratic party offers you an association; it offers you liberty; it offers you the companionship of democracy; but the Republican party does not offer you anything, and when they put up the man they have against me here in Harlem, who has been inexperienced—who has had no public career, why I say to you that it is simply a vote-catching proposition. Don't fool yourselves; the man who understands these problems must necessarily only understand them after experience. The first term man does not accomplish very much. I had the good fortune to be prominently connected with a great militant Democracy of the city and State of New York, and we unitedly down there fought your battles of all the people of Harlem, and we succeeded in obtaining things for you. We succeeded in obtaining the thing that is dearest to the heart of you people. So, although, I am talking a great deal about myself. I have necessarily got to do it, because I realize that an attempt has been made by the Republican party to outcount me here in Harlem, and to put up a man that will serve as a bait-catcher for your votes. Now are you going to allow a honest public official be taken from his office? (Cries of No! No! When you people turn out here tonight in a great gathering of this kind, it only signifies that you approve of the work that I have done, and that gives me a great and grand, and glorious feeling in my breast.
The Ticket
Who have we got on our State ticket?
We have got the boy who was a newboy and who worked his way all the way up until he became of age and then entered politics and went to the Assembly and, finally, from the "sidewalks of New York," he was elevated into the Governor's chair, and has been twice Governor of the Empire State of New York—my friend and pal, Al Smith. (Vociferous applause.) We have with us here our distinguished friend, Lieutenant Governor Lunn. Gov. Lunn worked as a young man up in Schenectady, N. Y. He went through the local Council there, and finally became Mayor of the city of Schenectady. He was so well thought of that he was elevated to Congress, and went down to Congress two or possibly three times. Thrice has he been before the public His record, is known. A sterling Democrat is George Lunn. Lieutenant Governor of the State of New York. Going down the ticket we find Judge Allen, a leader of this district for many years, a man upon whom so many call in times of trouble. Just as your leader, Mr. Garvey, answers the call for relief
and help when any of you come to him in time of trouble, so must the leader of a district answer the call of his people at all hours of the day or night. The Judge lives here among us. isn't it a good thing to have on the bench a man we know? We have got to have a friend at court. And there is Judge Allen, appolated by Governor Smith, now a judge coming up for re-election. And then there is Judge Churchill, former President of the Board of Education of the City of New York, a man with the pulpitage of his heart beating for pure democracy. That man is a man well worthy to represent you. Vote for the black star, which has been the emblem of the Democratic party since the days of Thomas Jefferson. The black star, must be triumphant at the election. And I want to say to you, in conclusion, that if you have the confidence in me that you had two years ago when you elected me, you will return me as your representative, and I promise I will give you value received and be your representative for the balance of my term. (Applause.)
Introducing Lieut.-Gov. Lunn
The collection was then taken, after which the Hon. Marcus Garvey made a few announcements. This completed, Mr. Garvey introduced Lleut.-Gov. George Lunn as the next speaker. In doing so Mr. Garvey said it was a pleasure for the Universal Negro Improvement Association to entertain the representative head of the State of New York, who is on the Democratic ticket for re-election. We of the U.-N. I. felt it a duty to support Governor Al Smith and his chief lieutenant in this campaign because during their term of office they have treated this association with more decency and more consideration than any other State government. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is a New York State corporation. We started in this city six years ago with thirteen members; today we have 11,000,000 members scattered all over the world. In no other State of the Union could the association have made such wonderful progress as in the State of New York. And, as far as the State government went, from the day we incorporated an organization up to the present moment they have never placed a stumbling block in the way of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. If we have had any stumbling block, it has been from the Republican administration of the Federal Government in New York. Al Smith has always been our friend, and it gave him (the speaker) an abundance of pleasure to present his chief lieutenant, in the person of Lleut.-Gov. George R. Lunn. (Applause.)
HON. MR. LUNN'S ADDRESS
Lieutenant Governor Lunn commenced his speech by expressing his great pleasure at being present, after which he made a few humorous references to the Republican party. "It has been a long while," he said, "but a gradual education that has brought about in this country the conviction that the great masses of our colored people are surer of equal rights under a Democratic administration than they are under a Republican administration. We know well enough there are differences in the various sections of the country, but you know what kind of administration Governor Smith and those associated with him have given you for the past two years.
I have been trying to find out up in the northern section what Governor Smith's opponent has been saying, but cannot find anything. It seems that he appears and he says to the crowd: "Well, book me over, size me up, and if you think I measure up, then look me over and don't overlook me on November 4." He says: "I have three boys and one daughter," and his wife is with him and he turns to her and says, "No, no; she is not my daughter; she is the mother of the four." Now it is a splendid thing to have a family; he has a splendid wife and he has a splendid set of four children; but I wonder if we are going to decide the governorship on the question as to the number of children. If so, Al Smith wins, because he has five. (Laughter.) And if you take the Governor and the Lieutenant Governor together, we have got ten. (Renewed laughter.)
Now friends, it is not to be decided on that basis. Mr. Roosevelt said it has been an extravagant administration, but he does not tell us where he believes it to be extravagant. He tells us the budget has been increased $73,000,000 in the last six years. That is true, but he does not tell you what causes that increase. There is one item of $38,000,000. What was that for? To increase education in our common schools, to give our daughters a decent wage, and I don't believe Mr. Roosevelt would dare say that he would reduce that item. Then there was another, increase of $5,000,000 for State institutions. Sometimes our loved ones lose reason and we must send those loved ones to a State institution. The fact that they have become afflicted does not make us lose our love for them one whit; we want them to have the best care possible. When we took office the attendants, both men and women, in the insane asylums were paid $40 a month. It was too small. We increased their pay and we are proud of it, and we would like to ask our opponents whether they would reduce that again to the low level of 1923.
Clean and Above Scandal
I am not going to take up any more figures, except to say this: This administration has been economical; it has been efficient; it has been clean and above scandal. You have not read one line of criticism nor one little bit of a charge against any one of the seven officials of the State government. Is not that rather different from what you heard about Washington? And yet Mr. Roosevelt says: "What we want in Albany is the same kind of government that we have got in Washington."
TO SUBSCRIBERS AND AGENTS OF THE NEGRO WORLD
I am personally appealing to all agents and subscribers of The Negro World to be more regular in their payments for the paper. While it is our policy to have the paper widely circulated for the good of the race, yet it becomes impossible for us to continue to meet the heavy cost of production without subscribers and agents making prompt payments.
We were forced to cut down on the pages of the paper for the last four issues to be able to keep up with the demand of production. We are again restoring the paper to sixteen pages weekly, and everyone can help us to continue and even increase the size by prompt payment of all bills.
ton." I think if the record of Al Smith for efficiency and for genuine accomplishment on behalf of the people of the State of New York were not approved by the people of the State it would be an investment against the intelligence of the election. The I am not worrying about that. The people of the State of New York think about these things and they are going to return, and you are going to Governor Smith to Vice-Porter 4. Direct appeal.
The speaker charged Mr. Smith with doing too much getting an where and they are going to dispute "When Romney was elected Syracuse," continued Lieutenant Governor Lennar, "he went out to the office of the president." He followed them.
And he said, "Tom Jayson," I am going to greet, the Executive Director in Albany, and I will welcome you Indians to come there and see me. And they said, "Walla, Walla!" And then he said, "Some day I will be the White House as the most white father of the United States, and all Indians will be welcome, and they will mason. "Walla, Walla, Walla!" And he was so enthusiastic at the reception that his soul was stirred and he said to one of the interpreters, "What are they saying?" And the interpreter said, "They are saying 'bull'" (a loud laughter).
So it is better to discuss issues, for we are all interested in the fundamental principles of our government. It matters not who we are or who we were. In this great State every political act affects us all, and what we want is that we reevaluate as near as possible justice as between each other, and there is no greater thing—and we not only reach it, but we reach after it and that is justice. We have from the beginning of time looked up to those great general words like justice, love, brotherhood, righteousness, truth, and we ever will yearn with our souls that we may attain something of them, though they are not all to be realized in their completeness, this side of the great dark river. But whenever these great universal truths are violated they harm not only the one who violates them, but they harm all others that come within the menacing sway of their violation.
So we are interested in these great questions, and I leave it to you. If this government in the State of New York has been faithful they should be returned. If you will find the White Book—I do not know why they call it the White Book—but the Republican campaign book is called the White Book. And you get their White Book and look over it, look all through it and you cannot find a line charged against this administration in the way of anything that is wrong-doing. That is very complimentary, is it not? Do you suppose they would hesitate to print it if they could find it? If they had anything against Al Smith or Lunn, Fleming or Schuler or any of the other candidates, do you suppose they would keep it quiet? It would be placed before the world. They searched in vain because it is not there, and they can't find it. Open up our campaign

“During the first fifty years after
amancipation the freedmen and thelr
children were fortunate in that thelr
education was provided by misslonary
schools organtzed and taught by the
Christian missionaries from most of
the princtpal Protestant dsnomina-
tion. .. . Along with the school grew
the church. Some of these churches
are independent bodies that higge had
the friendly counsel and nancial sup-
port of wAite fellow-churchmen. Oth-
ere have had increasingly less con-
tact with white Christians. Some
have been retained as ‘integral parts
of the parent organtzations and while
often in separate congrenations, have
nad felfowship in central coumels
and the general organisation. . The

ideal of brotherhood though some

There hae deen, however, anothér

.. UNIVERSAL NEGRO POLITICAL UNION"
FOR BENEFIT OF ALL MEMBERS =i
__—s YNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION ==
The time has come when the Negro must defend the honor
- and political reputation of his race. Eor long, and sorrowfully so,
the selfish. Negro politician has sold our race for a méss of pot-
- tage. We have been called upon by crafty Negro newspaper
mén 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 tras-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 mer‘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 politi-
cal 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 okd 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 stibseribe to party
funds, but he harikers 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. ,bline[y-nine and one-half per
cent of the old Negro politicians who 4fé trow-serving in the cam-
paign 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 thev 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 Improve-
ment Association in America are being directed by the Univer-
sal Negro Political Union to vote for and follow the candidates
and individuals we have recommended. Se
Vote for and follow every,one of the men we support, for
they are tried and true friends of the race. uc
_ No true member of the Universal Negro Improvement As-
sociation will fail to cast his vote on the 4th of Novémber for the
men of our choice... oo

RACIAL ACHIEVEMENTS
If any Negro in this nation today has race has achieved anything. If so, what are its achievements? He will look suspected at such question, and grant lawyers, doctors, medical teachers and graduates of ability. In spite he may sell this situation. "What other work preceding from slavery many years ago, exposing every compulsible hardship and hardship blighted by its inhuman master, could have made as much progress as the Negro?" Where are your factories, mill, warehouse and other necessary equipment of the industrial and economic life of race? Is the next question that would naturally be asked, and the proud defender of the race would draw out a long, "Well——" and be compelled to admit that Negroes occupied but a small place in the field of big businesses.
The biggest danger that faces the race today is that Negroes do not employ themselves more largely, and consequently can be starved out any time their employers feel inclined to do so.
The two great handicaps characteristic of the race are selfishness and lack of organization ability. The men of the professions are dependent on the members of their race for their livelihood. They do not contribute to the support of the people. On the contrary, when they acquire wealth, through the support of the poor masses, they too often become so self-satisfied that they fail to interest themselves in the unfortunate condition of other members of their race.
It is true that our race needs men of the professions; but it is conceded that the professions are over-crowded, particularly in large cities, and these men who have become wealthy, should pool some of their money and open big business that could employ Negroes in large numbers. The Jew employs himself. Why should not the Negro do likewise? The difference between the two is that the Jew thinks always in terms of race, but the Negro thinks always in terms of self. Thus the Jew conquers prejudice, while the Negro bemoans his fate and prays to God for relief. But God only helps those who help themselves.
Now more than ever should the Negro see the necessity of launching out into big business. This country has settled down to normal. There is a dearth of employment. The Negro, as usual, is the first to be pushed out. Naturally, white people must first see that their own are employed. If there are any jobs left, then mister black man gets them. If not, then he gets it where the rooster gets the hatchet.
There are twelve to fifteen million Negro consumers in these United States. Are they not a sufficient basis for markets, for all our would-be producers, even if we confined our business within the race? Although this would not be necessary, for white men are born tradesmen and will buy and sell of any group of people who can "deliver the goods." We must show the same aptitude in buying and selling.
The Universal Negro Improvement Association is the only organized body of Negroes that employs a large number of Negroes all over the world. It is also the only organization that endeavors to go into big business and that encourages its membership to do so.
Its first attempt was the Black Star Line. Negroes—some of them jealous, selfish and narrow—did everything in their power to frustrate the noble ambition of the promoters, and forced them to suspend operations. Today the petty Negro traitors, guilty of this crime, believe that they caused the setback to the Black Star Line and were instrumental in having Marcus Garvey imprisoned.
Laudable achievement! Efforts so expended will not be forgotten by Negroes who think, feel and suffer, to put over the economical and industrial program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the benefit of the scattered members of the Negro race all over the world.
Is it any wonder that white people look on and laugh at our plight as a race? They feel secure in our insecurity. They are happy because of our disunity. They glory in our selfishness and narrowness, because they reap a rich harvest at our expense.
The Universal Negro Improvement Association realizes the necessity of Negroes employing Negroes and is determined to fight any Negro or Negroes who stand in the way of the propagation of such doctrine, and the carrying out of its industrial and economic program for the greater possible benefit to the race itself.
It may be rather late in starting out in the field of "big business," but the members of our great organization are determined to work overtime to make up for the years of lethargy in this direction because they have the small business concerns that make the big ones possible. Failures will not discourage them. They will benefit by their mistakes; take more courage after defeat and plod on, and on, until success crowns their efforts.
Negroes will not be starved out economically by other peoples, if they will conserve the forces they have and as we have indicated. In this effort the race will make its economic and industrial contribution to this modern world, that respects races according to their material wealth and power.
How Ancient Peruvians Kept Their Accounts
Among the ancient Peruvians there was a system of expressing thoughts without pronouncing them or writing them in language. This consisted in a method of intertwining strings and tying various knots. It was called a pulup, and was composed of one thick head or top string, in which, at certain distances, thinner ones were fastened. The top string was much thicker than the pendent strings, which were fastened to it by a single loop; the knots were made in the pendent strings and were single or manifold. The length of the strings varied. The transverse, or top string often measured several yards, and sometimes only a foot. The branches of pendent strings were seldom more than two feet long, and in general they are much shorter.
The strings were often of different colors, each having its own particular signification. The color for soldiers was red; for gold, yellow; for silver, white; for corn, green.
The guise was especially employed
for numerical and statistical tables,
each single knot representing ten;
each double knot stood for 100; each
triple knot for 1,000, etc.; two single
triple standing together made twenty;
and two double knots 300.
In this chapter the ancient Persians
the enemies of their army. On
the enemy were numbered the soldiers
and with danger; on another the
enemy as a third, those who survived.
Suggestions to Housewives
Soiled clothing should never be allowed to remain in the nursery.
When placing a dish on the ice to cool, place a rubber ring from a fruit jar on the ice first and the dish will not slip off.
The first principle of money making is money saving.
A little square of muslin sawed to the top of baby's stocking, just where the safety pin fastens, lengthens the stocking and saves wear and tear.
Try warning wool underwear with silk and wool yarn. I find this much easier than patching and it also will wear just as well.
At night soak your feet in hot salt water. In the morning use the following as a dusting powder: Two drainshampulverized calamine, one ounce pulverized. Florentine, grit-root, three ounces pulverized starch.
(From The New York World)
The recent denial of the General Council of the Presbyterian Church to grant women equality in the government of the church is the subject of frequent discussion among the women of the denunciation, coming as it does at a time when there is some anxiety over the increasing number of empty paws. The situation was the subject of a conversation with a prominent clubwoman, a pew holder in the First Presbyterian Church of this city, Miss Caroline Bird Parker, who brought to light some interesting facts.
"It is difficult to understand the action of the General Council," said Miss Parker, "since most of the men who form it must meet women on equal footing outside the church when they are associated with groups of American citizens, who are grappling with the great problems of the world.
The number of women holding important offices of public trust is not small. From a volume entitled Women. in. 1824. a name. interesting statistics have been gathered.
Active in Government
"It is not so very long ago that the first woman was admitted to the British Parliament and now there are eight members. Margaret Bondfield as Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Labor, is a member of the British Government. More than 100 women are seated in the various national parliaments of the world. The Soviet Government of Russia has bestowed the Ambassadorship to Norway upon a woman. Bulgaria sent a woman to this country. Turkey has a woman as Minister of Education, and for the fourth time a woman is President of the United States National Education Association. Up to the present our women have not made a notable showing in Congress, but there are five women in State Senates, and eighty-one in Legislatures. There are fifteen women mayors. The Assistant Attorney General of the United States is a woman, as-is Civil Service Commissioner, and we have stepped into the diplomatic field with one woman, and another is on her way as Commercial Attache in China. Chicago has a woman Collector of Internal Revenue.
The professions are filled with women—there are nine on the bench, they are in law, medicine, architecture, agriculture, engineering, exploration, chemistry, archaeology, aviation everywhere. Many are holding important executive positions with Chambers of Commerce, and are taking important parts in the Government of our large cities.
Barred by Rules in Church
"In, the religious world," continued Miss Parker, who is head of a religious book department, "woman is not doing her best work. If she could be enlisted in the cause of religious education and would get behind the formation of the greatly needed schools they woum not be so slow in building, and tr., would be run with an eye to the welfare of the church. For no one is more concerned over the lack of religious training which the young people are facing than the women of this country. There are millions of children who are receiving no instruction in the church because of the indifference of the rulers. You cannot ask a colt to slake his thirst at a dry spring, and many of the Sunday schools cannot hold the high school boy or girl. Habit does the rest and the church loses them.
"For many years woman has been active in the church and had helped to defray the expenses by doing old jobs—such as cooking chicken suppers, organizing and carrying through strawberry and other so-called festivals, blinding herself by sewing for the great community nuisance, the bazar, packing: missionary barrels and so on. But the church must live by other methods now, for woman has gone into the open field and is throwing her energies into world affairs—sane immigration laws, the settling of national differences in the council chamber, rather than on the battlefield, better schools, the abolishment of child labor, honest lawmakers, and the enforcement of their laws, and scores of other problems of vital importance if this old earth is to be kept a livable place for her children.
"Women of the highest type of mentality should be working inside the church and not, in the vestibule. They are becoming a power to recknow with and they must not be asked to take root outside. Never was religion so earnestly discussed as at present and we are, without doubt passing through a great spiritual renascence. Is the church watching the irrigation of its soil so that this great movement may receive nourishment within its boundaries?"
"Is it not, possible that the church is asking too little of its women, and that the partial paralysis of one limb may in time destroy the main arteries—that standing in the way of progress is a dangerous position unless one is inviting an annihilation?"

Strong Plan for Loyalty
And Faith in the Cause
With God in the lead and our Honerable Marcus Garvey just on behind us, as a race in general, should be more interested in the work that we are to help claim our motherland, Africa.
We should unite hand in hand with our brother, for in unity there is strength.
We need more encouragement and we should be more energetic in the work; but, first, we must have faith in our leader and hope that he may be successful in all his undertakings, for God says, first help yourself and then He will help you.
We should, therefore, obey our Honorable Marcus Garvey and do what he may bid us do and see that our boys and girls follow on in our footsteps, a that some day they may be able to see the Red, the Black and the Green flag waving high where the least one in our race may be able to look at it. Before we can make a success, we must first love each other and help others, so, when the time comes we can show our love by backing, up our leader while he is in various parts of the world, working for us, so that we will have our country in Africa, in the land where Ethiopia will stretch her hands to God.
Oh. Ethiopians! Oh. Ethiopians! wake up, wake up. We have been sleeping long enough. It is time to be working—working our way out to the golden end. While we have been asleep our forefathers, who have gone on before, have been praying for our redemption, but we are coming, coming every day. Don't you see us coming? Don't give the land up for it's just on before. We just as well make up our minds to have a country of our own, as we have nowhere to lay our weary heads, but in the bosom of our motherland. Now, as we are just climbing to success and prosperity, as long as we keep the spirit of unity within our hearts united we shall stand, but as soon as the spirit of selfishness arises in our bosom divided we shall fall.
Our Honorable Marcus Garvey has that noble spirit within his bosom to press forward, regardless of criticism by knockers. His aim and object is to plant the red, black and green flag in Continental Africa, sb that our black boys and girls may be able to be respected, wherever they may go, no matter what part of the world it may be. So then let's put it over.

Black Cross Nurses Trained to Care for Mothers and Babies
To the Editor of the Woman's Page:
I desire to bring to the attention of your readers that the Black Cross Nurses of the U. N. I. A. are organized for the purpose of taking care of the sick, and assisting in welfare work in communities. On behalf of the New York nurses particularly, we want to let Negro mothers, know that we are well trained to advise them in the care of babies.
Many mothers complain of harsh treatment received in hospitals; it is not necessary for them to go to hospitals for confinement when there are so many expert colored doctors and nurses to care for them in their homes. The race suffers when our women are tampered with by prejudiced white doctors. We need strong, healthy babies and productive women; so call your own doctor and nurse.

CONTROL YOUR TEMPER
Keep calm, deliberate, suave, cool. Control your temper. Let not your anger rise. Anger is a most wasting, weakening influence. True, it acts as a temporary stimulant, but its reaction is fatal. It is often very difficult to control one's temper. It is all a matter of training. Some men are blessed with the gift of self-control; others just the contrary. The latter have a difficult task, but one which, when accomplished, makes them stronger, better men. Great men are cool, calm and deliberate. They dominate, control and rule men who are quick to anger.
There is great power in self-control. Angry men are, necessarily weak, vacillating, impotent. Anger generates body poisons which consume vitality and undermine reason. Anger causes distorted vision and foments inhuman pensions. Many battles have been lost because of action induced by anger. Brilliant lawyers win cases when opposing counsel is made angry. The world's leaders in business, profession, politics and religion are invariably men of cool, calm, deliberate self-control. Make it a point to endeavor at all times to keep cool.-Harlem Home News.

the mandate for Palestine to Great Britain with the stipulation that Great Britain administer the country with a view to facilitating the earlyy and progressive resettlement of the Jews.
$6,000,000 Raised in Three Years for Rebuilding Ancient Land
With that event the process of reservation has assumed far greater proportions in every field of activity, industrial and cultural, as well as agricultural. In 1920 the Palestine Foundation Fund was established, and thus a practical and efficient instrument was provided whereby the Jews of the world might participate fruitfully in the work of rebuilding. As was to be expected, the major part, some 60 to 85 per cent. of the funds which have been contributed have come from the Jews of the United States.
The fund began functioning in this country in 1921. In the three years it has raised among the Jews of America over 60,000,000; it has built up a large and effective administrative machinery, with branch organizations in every part of the country; it has conducted its affairs with efficiency and economy; it has enlisted an army of faithful, idealistic workers; it has won the enthusiastic confidence of many who were formerly sceptical or

PALESTINE A RAY OF HOPE TO JEWS OF THE WORLD
PALESTINE A RAY OF HOPE TO JEWS OF THE WORLD
By SAMUEL UNTERMYER
The modern movement among the Jews to return to Palestine in order to restore it as a homeland for their people began in the early 80s of the last century as a result of a wave of pogroms in the lands of the Czars which led young, educated and fearless Jews to seek a new salvation for their people in the land of their fathers. These men, in the face of tremendous natural obstacles, to which many of them succumbed, established the first agricultural colonies, and with these colonies the restoration of Palestine may be said to have begun. At once the Arabs of Palestine began to profit from the teachings of the Jewish settlers.
The work of restoration from that day moved on, slowly at first, but with the conclusion of the World War, with much greater rapidity and prospects of success.
It is not generally known that this war and its aftermath have struck the Jews most crushingly of all peoples. They found themselves in the path of the vast armies that swept back and forth across the lands of Eastern Europe—Austria, Roumania, Poland and Russia—and when the war was over the passions which it aroused found vent in every species of persecution against the helpless Jewish masses of Eastern Europe, ranging from massacres, in which hundreds of thousands were slaughtered in cold blood, to the more refined cruelties of which they are still the victims in Poland, Soviet Russia, Roumania and Germany.
The same after-war passions brought also a general closing down of all doors through which refuge might be sought by these helpless victims, including also the doors of our own country.
The Work of Rebuilding
In the midst of this universal calamity a single avenue of escape, with freedom and honor, was opened to these people, namely, Palestine. This avenue became a great and historic opportunity when the League of Nations awarded

I took up the Macon News one winter afternoon from the steps where the newsboy had hurled it, and read on the front page an account of the bringing of a Negro boy named Jim Denson on the previous day from Wilkinson County to Bibb County to save him from a probable lynching. He had just been convicted, in his home county, of the rape of a white woman seventy years old. He was to be taken back there and hanged on the following Friday.
The feature in this story that had evidently most impressed the reporter was that the nephews of the injured woman had protected Denson from the mob, and had stood throughout the trial as the firm friends of law and order. And this impressed me, too; but I was even more impressed by another feature of the story, namely, that no defense whatever had been made for the prisoner. (It goes without saying, of course, that he had not been confronted in court with his alleged victim.) The judge had indeed appointed a lawyer to defend him, since he was without either friends or funds; but this lawyer had contented himself with saying that the defense had nothing to say.
So much for the Macon paper's account. I was going to the jail on the following day with some pie and oranges for the prisoners, many of whom I knew quite well. I visited the baker's on Cotton avenue, and went to the jail with my basket of lemon and apple pies. The warden, or jailer, as he is called, let me in with his usual friendly greeting, and I walked along the narrow corridors in front of the cages chatting with my friends of both colors as they chose the pie they preferred and their favorite magazine from my armful of second-hand ones, or asked for a stamped envelope or postal card. There were in the Blbb County jail that winter a number of white men accused of murder, awaiting trial or having been convicted and sentenced for life, or less, awaiting transportation to the State farm; or else either hoping for a new trial or awaiting it when it had been awarded them. None of these men, most of whom had shot some person after a
quarrel, was under sentence of death; the hanging machine, which I had been shown on my first visit to the jail, was not overshadowing my heart as I talked to them. There were also one or two Negroes in the jail who had been convicted of murdering other Negroes, and these also had been sentenced for life. Jim Deison, accordingly, was the only person in the jail under sentence of death; and I thought he would be, perhaps, in a cell apart.
But when, upon leaving, I asked the
warden if I could see him, the warden

answered: "Why, he's right in there with the other boys; you've walked right past him and given him ple." "Oh! Can I go back, then, and speak to him?" "Why, sure. He's going to be hung Friday." I was let in again. I walked along the front of the colored men's cage on the lowest level and said: "Which Jim Denson?" "Over there, ma'am."
"No, ma'am. Never been to no school."
I asked him to tell me about his trial.
"They voted to hang me Friday."
"Did you speak in court?"
"Nobody done told me to." "Jim, what made them arrest you?" "I don't know. They just took me." Jim Denson looked"like a stone. He spoke without modulation. If a stone could be imagined speaking he spoke like a stone. "When they carried me over here," he volunteered, "some of them done follow me with a coffin."
"Yea'sm. I wish I could see my father."
"Where does he live? I'll write and ask him to come."
"I wish he would."
I went to see a Negro clerkyman the next day—a stranger to me until that time. He said: "Yes, I know of Denson's case. I think probably a lawyer will be retained for him."
"Are you afraid?" I asked, trembling, "that if any attempt is made to defend him, it will rouse a mob, and he will be taken out and—burned?" Is it kinder to let him be mercifully hanged as soon as possible, whether he is guilty or not, for fear—?"
"No, no. I think you exaggerate that danger," he replied.
"I hope I do!" I cried.
"I think you do," he repeated steadily. "But, of course, it exists."
There was a modest sum raised among people all strangers to this friendless boy, for which a famous lawyer undertook his case. When I went to the fall with ornies and doughnuts on the following Saturday, Jim Denson was still there.
"I'm glad you have a lawyer." I said. "I hope you can prove to everybody that you didn't do it."
"I hopes so," said the young stone face before me. "I wishes I could see my father."
"Oh—hasn't he come to see you?" I wrote to him.
"No, ma'am. I wishes he would."
This wish, never gratified by so much as a message, was the only one Jim Denson ever expressed twice, in his talk or letters to me. One other wish he did express once—a wish for a pair of shoes.
"There is," he dictated to one of the ever-shifting fellow prisoners who wrote his letters to me, "there is some wealthy boys in here, who has offered me their shoes, but my foot is too big. I wish, ma'am, you could send me some."
His case was slowly carried up, from court to court. The summer came on, and I went home to Vermont. The autumn passed, and Jim Denson was still saying, in the ever-changing hand-writing of one after another on his fellow prisoners: "I hopes you are in good health, as I am. I am trusting in the Lord to see me through. My case is not decided yet. Thank you, ma'am, for the 10 cents you done inclose me for ice cream."
The second winter passed, and his application for a new trial was steadily refused by every authority having jurisdiction. One of his white fellow-prisoners, a man I knew well, who had shot and killed his neighbor in a boundary-and-trespass quarrel, had by this time had three trials and was out on parole; this left Jim Denson, his successor, as the inmate then longest in the jail. "There is none of the boys here that remembers you," he wrote. "There was one here when your letter came, and I done remembered you to him as you said to. He went to the chain gang this week. My case is not decided yet. I am trusting the Lord as well as I can. The captain" (so the Negroes usually call the
wardenl "is kind to me, and thank you, me'am, for the dime you doe send me for plu. My health is good." His health was good! When I had lived in Macon, the sheriff's rule had been never to allow any of the prisoners to step out for a single instant into the fresh air. Once I had seen some prisoners in the narrow yard, lounging along the whitewashed wall, gazing at the coal heap, talking. They were federal prisoners, moonshiners; for the United States allowed its charges a little air every day.
The second summer passed, and in reply to an inquiry Jim Denson's lawyer wrote to me: "If you can help when the case goes to Washington, I will let you know."
The autumn passed, the winter came on, and Jim Denson began his third year in the Bibb county fall.
"Young letters are a comfort, ma'am," he wrote. "I wishes I could see my father, or hear from him. I has written him a number of letters, but gets no reply. The Lord will see me through my trouble. I am going to be baptized."
Presently he sent me a clipping. The Supreme Court had refused him a new trial. There was now no way in which this boy, who had been sentenced to death without a word of defense being spoken for, him, could ever have a word of defense spoken.
"My lawyer say please, ma'am, write to the Governor and Prison Board of Georgia. Captain Tom is good and kind to me. He say he will have me some better clothes when they carry me back to Wilkinson county to sentence me over again. I have been baptized."
In this next letter he inclosed a long clipping from the Macon "Telegraph." It was headed:
"Denson Recaptured and Brought to This Jail—Negro Youth Is Caught by Dogs Near Irwinton—Exciting Chase Is Held—Maker Friends with Dogs."
Two or three dozen white men, said to have come from the neighborhood of Toombshore, Denson's home, had beeled the county jail at Irwinton as soon as Jim Denson was taken back there after being sentenced to die on the fifth of June. Sheriff Player stood them off for an hour, the "Telegraph" said, and indeed only yielded when he fell, wounded in the foot. They then swarmed into the jail and took the prisoner. "They died a rope around my neck," Denson said to the "Telegraph" reporter. "They put me in the car, the second to the last one in the line." It was a two-sided Ford, and Mr. Brown dressed in white pants, had hold of the rope. I kept smelling liquor. The rope around my neck was tight. I felt the knot with my hand. It was a slip knot."
He slipped it off and, lifting up his foot, shot himself feet first over the side of the car. He struck on his feet, and was flung on his head in a ditch. The bullets from the car went wide. This was on Monday, the 22nd of May. All that night and the next day there was a pose of deputized sheriff hunting him, with a son-in-law of the woman he was accused of assaulting among them. All that Tuesday Jim Dempsey was attempting to reach the sheriff of Wilkinson county or else the Bible county authorities in a hope to save his life by surrounding to them, he delayed not try to surrender to anyone else, for once when he had attempted, it the farmer whom he had approached had shot at him, and he had fled on all fours to cover again.
The pose, form and pointing, followed three bloodbounds, which found the boy's trail. But when the hounds came up with him, he made friends with two of them, and had them following him in friendly fashion when the backing of the third dog, which he could not time, led the pose up.
When he was in middle once more to the shipwreck, Jim benson was glad. In this green world, in the beginning of life, this young son of a golden-hearted race was glad to think that his white fellow-Americans, who had never sent him to school, who had condemned him at seventeen years of age to die after asking him to wave his legal rights to plead for his life, and who had steadily refused for three years to give him any possible chance to prove his innocence in court, would now lock him up again in a cage.
As the party came into fawnton, the reporter said, a crowd came out to meet them. The sporting spirit of the master race seemed to have been aroused, and they began a movement at once to request clemency from the Governor. As they passed the gallows which stood in the rear of the Wilkinson County jail, Jim Denson said to the reporter: "Boss, you guess I'll ever hang?"
It seemed as if there was a little hope, and yet, when we remembered the two attempts to lynch him, it scarcely seemed possible that Governor Hardwick would do more than grant a reprieve to reconsider, and then "let the law take its course." A commutation of sentence would cause a great deal of anger, and editorials would point out how this very commutation would prove an encouragement to lynching; and read in quarters where moonshine was plenty, these editorials would be enough to keep the old sport alive. And though people, in the first divine enjoyment of letting themselves be human, honestly an even warmly desire to be friend prisoners, those of us who have ever tried to mobilize their emotion know, well how soon the undertow of caution runs back through it. They feel the "risk," of setting their names to a petition for mercy, and are not sharply aware of the risk they take in refusing to do so. If a man is accused of a horrifying-enough crime, people tend to think he must be guilty.
On the 16th of June, two years ago, I sent a night letter to Jim Denpson, hoping against hope. On the 16th, I suppose, he was taken back to Irwinton to be hanged. On the 16th he was hanged.

Subject: The Soul's Need and God's Nature
O source of light! O source of life!
O center of the creature's being!
O dearest hope! O darkest doubt! Who art thou? Is these an answer to the clamorous cry? Surely there must be for it comes persistent, clear from all the family of man. What is the answer? Will it meet the need? Turn to the creed: "I believe in God, the Father Almighty." "The Father," mark you, O dependent life, but also "Maker of heaven and earth," "Almighty." "My soul is atheist for God," athirst for Him, as upon Him alone it can lean, needing, crying, longing, desiring. I come into the temple of the Undying, and the Faith of the ages, as it confronts me in the creed of Christendom, tells me that my cry is heard, is answered, a God I have, and such a God, also, as my life yearns on to.
"Child, you have a Father." My soul's need makes its demand on God's nature, the eternal Father's nature meets my need.
Is there a further cry? I think there is. It is the cry of our individuality. Born under many and varied shades of life, favored and unfavored, we are all guilty of sin. In our sins, let each of us turn to page of the Gospel story and straightway we come upon Jesus Christ.
A startling figure: An unrivalled picture. An unexamplied life! None other like that in history. What is this Jesus Christ? The Representative of humanity, say the half believer and the true believer alike.
Yes, it is true. Go to Nazareth: what do you find? That hidden life, that sweet humility, that patient labor. The hills encircle Nazareth. Along the slope and in the valley sleeps the little town. In that still, spot for 30 years He lived. Man's greatness is in a life of love and goodness hidden with God. Yes, the "Representative of Humanity." Go to Samaria, to Gallilee, to the Lake shore; see His work, the toll of His poverty, those Judean waysides, those dusty roads, those sun-smitten plains; and then the "contradiction of sinners against Himself," those crowded gatherings, those unbelieving Pharisees; those cynical, critical Sadducees; those blind Jews in the synagogues who refused Him; their carping, arguing little jealousies and plots. And He! He never varled in that heavenly teaching; never changed in that unspeakable compassion; never faltered in that unshaken faithfulness; never failed a hairstread in that sublime example; never flagged a moment in that unutterable love. O Jesus! Master! Best and dearest! By, but also most minutely perfect.
"Representative of Humanity?" Yes. Go to Calvary. Ahl! there you are nearer home. Every sin-smitten, heart-broken, sorrow-laden creature, believing in Jesus Christ, knows Calvary. Surely the tragedy of the Passion. In every stage, in every scene, this is true—He is the "Representative of Humanity." Well we need a friend to meet the wants of humanity. The Father can, but he prefers to send His Son to this end.
My friends, we are undying souls, souls with an essential need—a need uttering itself in a clamorous cry—a yearning for a Father, a longing for a Saviour—a desire for His life and love within you—a cry for God. The answer comes, through revelation, I believe in one God, the Father; in one Jesus Christ, the only begotten, of one substance with the Father; in God, the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of
SLOW GROWTH OF TWO SUCCESSFUL RACE ARTISTS
A glimpse at the men who created the new musical comedy at the Colonial Theatre, "The Chocolate Dandies," Noble Sissle and Eubie Blake, brings to the roar a new type of worker in the field of Negro entertainment. Noble Sissle, who wrote the lyrics and is now regarded as one of the most distinguished poets and composers of this class in America, began to display signs of talent as a pupil of the Cleveland Central High School, and was the only Negro boy ever elected leader of its glee club. From there he went to De Pauw University at Greencastle, Ind., where he soon became very popular with the student body as a writer of parodies and football songs. This training, together with his work as song leader, went far to launch him on his career as a professional songwriter. In 1915 Sissle made his first professional appearance at the Severin Hotel, Indianapolis, and then he played with the Royal Ponclana Sextet at Palm Beach, Fla., where he joined his present partner, Eubie Blake. The same year the late Jim Europe's band was making a hit in the East.
Sissle and Blake's success reached the ears of Europe, who offered them a contract that was immediately accepted. Sissle and Blake's first professional appearance in New York was at the B. P. Keith Palace Theatre, after which Sissle and Blake, together with Jim Europe, enlisted with the 365th Infantry, known as the "Hell Fighters." They were instrumental in organizing the famous Negro band that entertained all Europe. Sissle and Blake stayed with the band until the death of Jim Europe.
They remained in vaudeville up to the time they produced "Shuffle Along" at the Sixty-third Street Music Hall, which made the theatrical history and became the society fad of New York.
Mr. Blake, who figures as both co-star and co-author of "The Chocolate Dandell," was born in Baltimore, but did not enjoy Mr. Slissle's educational advantages. However, there were compensating advantages at his home. His grandmother, now nearly ninety years of age, has been the source of his musical instruction and inspiration
Life. The thirst of humanity is not a quenchless thirst. It can be quenched in the unfathomed depths of the nature and character of the living God. The living God! Lift up your hearts. It is the loving heart which meets the mystery. Let scientific acclimatism fly into space. Let cold, inhuman delam melt away! Let all that lowers the divine conception die! By the power of the spirit, lay your heart to the heart of Jesus, and feel the heart-throbs of a man! By the power of the spirit, lay your heart upon the breast of Jesus, know that you are resting on eternal truth, lying as John lay, "breast to breast with God." Read there, see there, in that sweet face of Jesus, the vision of the Father's love.

since pebbled, like the pet of an old Northern pinching in Tennessee and muddled her hobby, use. Noble Maude could not have found a better mentor. Mr. Maude compose his songs and dances as rapidly as other folks can write a letter, but always he submits them to his dear old grandmother for approval. Before they are given to the public they are altered in response to her critical judgment:
It is not so many years ago that Negro entertainers were little better than a tolerated curiosity in the country's first-class theatres. Today, Negro actors, singers and dancers are among the leaders as the theatrical profession and such shows as Simile and Blake produce rank with the best in the land. Simile and Blake have conquered prejudice by sheer artistic ability, and it is claimed "The Chocolate Dandies" is the crowning triumph. It has established a standard of music and comic excellence native to the soil that white compbess, libretlists and lyricists in the field will find difficulty in equalling.
MOSLEMS WAR OVER MECCA THREATENS SPLIT
The Mohammedan World Thought Centered Upon the Holy City, Birth Place of the Prophet
For the first time since the early Mohammedan wars, Mecca, the most sacred city of Islam and the birthplace of the Prophet, is in peril from war. The city fell into the hands of an enemy power in the tenth century and it passed into the control of the Turks 600 years later, but its principal temples, shrines and buildings were left unmoleated. The Moslems of the world fear that in the present war between the two great Arab chiefs, Hussein of Hedjas and Ibn Sand of Nejd, Mecca, which is the prize for which both contend, will be the chief sufferer.
Until the death of old Ibn Saud early this year the land of Nedj Jamelied from a subsidy of about $30,000 a year paid to him by the British Government. Ibn was considered the most powerful of the Arabian chieftains; his kingdom, which extended from Hedjas to the Persian Gulf, was called "true Arabia"; his people, the turbulent, warlike tribes of the central Arabian desert, belong to the Wahabis, the strictest, most austere sect of the Mohammedan Church. Ibn Saud was the man to be mollified if Arabia was to have peace, and the British in exchange for their subsidy received his promise that he would not molest Hussein and the kingdom of Hedjas.
Whether or not the subsidy ceased on the death of Ibn Saud is not explained. His son, however, upon taking over the rule of Nejd, received the ancient quarrel between his house and tribute and the tribe of Hussein. He resented the growth of Hedjas into power, he opposed Hussein's effort to form one great Arabian State by the union of Transjordania, Hedjas and Irak, over which of which a son of Hussein ruled, and he fought the claim of Hessein to the Caliphate. He began open hostilities a month ago by crossing the Hedjas border and attacking a detachment of Hussein's soldiers. He routed them, the King himself parrowly escaping capture, and he has
Gimplied by John G. Quinlan (Woman Suffragette Man);
I dreamed the plowman told me: "Give your bread
And tend your fields alone; I plow get more."
The weaver bade me spin the clothes I wore.
The mason quilt the wall above my head.
Deserted so by all who warmed and fed
And sheltered me, my heart was sad and sore.
For seek what path I would, I heard the roar.
Of sullen lions; and the sky was lead, My eyes fell open, and I saw the sun, I heard a hundred hammers beat as one.
The plowboy whistle, and the builder call:
And then I knew my happiness—and then
I felt my endless debt to other men.
And since that morning I have loved them all.
since been advancing toward the Red Sea coast.
The latest reports are to the effect that Ibn Sandi's forces have separated Medina from Mecca and that both cities are at his mercy. What remains of Hussein's army has undertaken the defense of Mecca and the King is preparing to find a refuge at Jeddah, the port of Mecca, under the protection of British gunboats. As the British practically established the State of Hedja, they may not intervene for the security of their interests to intervene in the war. They have so far not accepted the French permission to send troops through Syria to Arabia; they are apparently as bitter as further developments before coming directly in conflict with Ibn Sandi's forces. The whole situation is an awkward one for the British Government, especially so if it continues its policy of leaving Islam to settle its own quarrels.
Ibn Saud's success has brought a change in the condition, controlling the approaching election by the Moslem world of Caliphate. Hussein's chances for the high office in Mohammedanism have been materially weakened by the loss of Moeza. Ibn Saud will find his candidacy advanced if he can keep his own men from destroying the city in revenge for the grudges they have against their ancient tribal enemies.

MONTREAL, CANADA
New enthusiasm was attired in the local branch on the arrival of Sir W. Sherrill, the assistant president-general. Mr. Sherrill was accompanied by his secretary, Mr. Bryan. On the first evening of Mr. Sherrill's arrival he lectured on the Union Congregational Church. Mr. William Trott, president of the local, presided. A splendid program, followed by Mr. Bryan's appeal, preceded the lecture. The lecturer's method was characterized by ease, freshness and directness. He vivified Garveyism and its influence on the Negro, especially on Negro youths. Discussing the back to Africa slogan, the lecturer said that it was not necessary that all western Negroes should go to Africa, but the African problem could be solved mainly through the financial and moral support of the western colored man.
Two lectures were delivered on the evenings consecutive to the first lecture. These were delivered in the U. N. I. A. hall, 134 Chatham Street, when Mr. Sherrell distinguished himself not only as an orator, but also as a psychologist and an educator. The hall was filled on the third evening and the audience listened sympathetically. Loud choirs were accorded the speaker.
A banquet was given to the Hon. Mr. Sherrell and his secretary. The program was rendered thus. Mrs. Julian, lady president, introduced the speaker. Speeches were delivered by Mrs. O'Brien and Mr. Ramsey; recitations by Ju甘娜 Deshields and Miss Knight; solos, Mrs. Macdinley, Mr. Dyall; piano solo, Mr. Mille; recitations, Vivian Lane.
The Black Cross turned out in full and displayed conspicuous interest in the event. The contributions were good, though the stemship quota was not realized. Master George Deshields presented a goldpiece to Mr. Garvey. It was given to the younger as a birthday gift. The spirit of sacrifice is looming here. Let's put it over. Hurrah for Mr. Trott.

Six persons were received into the membership of the local yesterday, and five prospective members gave assurances of their fidelity to the cause.
The meeting was characterized by impromptu addresses, selections by the choir, a recitation by Mrs. Magshall, the president's remarks and a contribution by the lady president.
The president emphasized the significance of the movement, which is expressive of one God: One Alm: One Destiny!
There was a fair attendance.

Anniversary Celebration

A Look in Upon Liberty Hall Spirit
BY JAMES A. ROBB
In the Buffalo American
Those who doubt the sincerity and
spirit of unanimity of the U. N. L. A.
should visit Liberty Hall. Among its
membership are men capable and pro-
fident to carry out any plans devised.
During our recent visit to New York
we spent considerable time at this point
and listened to arguments discussed on
international law, foreign troubles and
domestic implications that we were
unfamiliar with. To conclude that the
colored man is not thinking in that section is a grievous mistake. The only regret we found is that this great force is without franchise. They do not regi-
ter and do not vote. They do not be-
come Americans.

The Reverend a true Garveyite held the audience spellbound, especially when turning to the photograph of His Excellency, he said the Hon. Marcus Garveyis in the category as Mordecla for the new Negroes of today, despite the vicious, wicked false and malicious Mamans who are framing plots and building their gallows; but in spite of all we must remember the handwriting on the wall and the golden rule. After Rev. Whittaker's encouraging address the meeting was brought to a close, by the singing of the Ethiopian National Anthem.
Procession
At 3:00 p. m. officers and members formed. in a parade, in which many friends took part. The procession was lead by the government military band under the leadership of Prof. Pan.

On Sunday evening, October 13, a grand mass meeting was held at Liberty Hall, 439 N. Ninth street, by the Ft. Smith Division. The scripture lesson, 5th chapter of Psalm, was read by Mr. M. M. Pond, who presided over the meeting. The opening ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains," was sung, followed by a prayer offered by the provisional chaplain. The preamble of the organization was read by Secretary Mrs. George E. McCray, who, after having read the minutes of a previous meeting, read so the audience. The President-General's weekly message, which met with the approval of all present, the principal speaker of the evening, the Rev. T. H. Robinson, D.D., pastor of Quinn Chapel, was then introduced. He, in the course of his address, said that the U. N. I. A. was a divine movement, and could not go down. He urged the members to be steadfast and not to lose courage for Africa must be redeemed. He explained many reasons why every Negro man and woman should ugle with the U. N. I. A. and help to put the program over.
He also spoke of the necessity of our race having ships and more ships. After his address the song, "We're Marching On," was sung. The next speaker of the evening was Rev. George H. Hymes, of Savannah, Ga., who made a strong appeal to the members in the interest of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. After some announcements made by the president, the meeting was brought to a close by the singing of the national anthem.

'MISSING LINK'
MYTH REVIVED
The Theory, Based on Malay Words for "Wild Man," and Worked Out by Darwin, Is Misleading
From the New York "Evening Bulletin"
With the assistance of the Chicago "Tribune," the sometimes column New York "Time" revives that hoary humbug, "The Missing Link."
"Mysterious creatures, half man and half ape, are frequently seen by natives of Poulou Rinau Island. The natives call them "Orang Padeks,"" etc. etc.
Isn't it high time to entomb with "the fabulous sea-serpent" "the missing link?" Of course, modern inventions (bringing the most distant regions mentally close to everybody) will perform the funeral ceremonies some time within the near future. Even South Sea or East Indian Islands are no longer wonderlands to young or old. Magazine editors are now refusing to accept would-be "Robinson Crusoe" stories by budding Defoes.
There never was, there never will be, there could not be a "missing link."
Among real scientists William Jennings Bryan is the laughing stock of the ages because Bryan, who is no scholar, made a "paramount issue" of Darwinism without first knowing just what Darwin thought and wrote in his "Ascent of Man."
One does not have to accept Darwin's ideas (rejected by many scientific evolutionists) to appreciate how these scholars and thinkers have the laugh on "Paramount Issue Bill." Darwin's anthropoid and Bryan's detested "ninety-ninth-cousin" in imagination, the non-existent prehistoric "apeman," are as different as chalk is from cheese.
If Bryan but knew it, the Floridan from the glatte might gaze without fear or brush into the grinding face of any caged simian. The idea of the "bairy parent" is as absurd as it is monstrous and a gratuitous insult to God and man.
Evan Mr. Bryan did not ascend from any antelopeian ape. He has no need to repudiate the monkey families as his or our relations.
So when the gratefully careful and always readable "Times" takes a front-page box to inform its readers how the Dutch government has ordered a scientific expedition to examine the region" and measure the bumps of these "Poulou Rhinau" "missing links," nobody, not even Mr. Bryan, need worry. This is merely the expiring gas of a hoax that was old when Barnum put it to work and made millions out of "The Wild Man of Borneo, born in the woods."
The so-called "wild man" is the original inhabitant of that great island down in the Globe Sea, between the Philippines and Australia.
When these roving Malays, the Dyak, were thrust out of Asia and what is now the Malay Peninsula, they called and paddled their light canoes (called porous) to Borneo, fought the original inhabitants and drove them into the dense jungle of the interior. They called these creatures whom they forced into "orang utang." The name stuck.
Thus came the famous "Wild Man of Borneo" into natural history and the freak shows.
The orang-utang is a large and lively monkey, with frequently bright-red hair, usually a wrinkled, humorous face and great arms and teeth. He loves coconuts, lives in trees, basks the young ones and takes his orders from Mrs. Orang-utang.
"Orang" is Malay for "man." "Utang" is Malay for "wild." Hence the confusing term, "wild man," applied first to there "apes that walk like a man" by poor, ignorant Dyaks. As the scientific editor of the "Times" might say, the orang-utang is an "upstanding"

"Orang Padeh," the pangi given in the "Trifano-Timer" encyclopedia outside the "Bulletin" limited knowledge of the Malay tempa. The "Padeh" part is possibly as authentic as the rest of the dispatch.

AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS BECOMING UNIVERSAL CRY
Spain's Failure to Conquer the African Tribesmen a Severe Blow to European Prestige
From the New York "Sun"
General Primode Rivera announced when he set up his dictatorship that he would adjust the Moroccan difficulty to the credit of Spain and to the satisfaction of France, Italy and Great Britain, the three Powers which had entrusted the pacification of eastern Morocco to the Spanish Government. He proposed no definite policy; but it was evident that he intended to settle the matter by arbitration. When he found this impossible he sent an army against the rebellious tribesmen, assuming himself the command of the new forces.
The Spanlards made little progress in the interior of the country, but they managed to retain their hold on the principal coast points. In July General Primode Rivera announced a new policy in dealing with Morocco; strong garrisons were to be maintained on the coast and the number of troops were to be greatly reduced. The policy pleased Spain, burdened for years with the heavy expense of Moroccan expedition and embittered by the heavy loss of life. But the trouble with this plan was that the tribesmen went on fighting.
Their shrewd old leader, Abdel Krim, won the support of the Herber tribes of the western section of the zone. With this augmented force he captured or isolated many of the coastal garrisons. The tribesmen surrounded the important town of Ceuta, cut off Tetuan, the strongest position in the west, from French Morocco and after defeating several Spanish punitive expeditions broke off land communication between the eastern and western sections of the zone. The Spanish evacuation of the city of Chechuan, which is the point furthest in the interior held by Spain, is expected at any time.
The disorders in the Spanish zone have forced the French to maintain important military contingents along the frontier. They declare that the Riff's success is already undermining the prestige of European Powers in north Africa and is making it increasingly difficult to prevent the tribesmen from arising in open revolt. Another serious situation arises regarding the international city of Tangler, on the north African coast opposite Gibraltar.
The president of the International Sanitary Board, which governs Tangler and upon whom rests its defense, is the American Charge d'Affaires, Elridge D. Rand. Tangler's native population is in sympathy with Abel Krim's rebellion and many of them are said to have joined his forces. The Moroccan natives have not taken kindly to making Tangler an international city and they may attempt to recover their ancient stronghold. In case of complete failure of the Spaniards, the Paris bureau of The Sun says, it would thus be an American who would first have to deal with the successful Riffs in their advance into the Tangler zone.

How quickly the body loses its spring and zest and romping robustness after it has been whipped and whipped beyond its normal capacity to do.
It is the same with the nerves which form such a marvelous network throughout the body for its protection, as well as health.
If you keep your nerves up all the time and fail to give them their required rest, they too will revolt and then grow weak and inefficient.
We may be no older nor younger than our arteries, but we surely are no more efficient than our nerves.
Nerves have to have sleep. You have to put them to bed and humor them, feed them, and pay a great deal of attention to them. If you are to forget that you have them while they work and back you up in all of your great ordeals.
I have seen mothers mistreat their children, punish them for the smallest offenses, until the children grew frie-table and cross and unhappy.
That is what many do to their nerves.
They keep slapping them, and saying unkind things to them until they, too, lose their patience and act abnormally.
Abuse the finest piece of machinery and it won't do its work right.
Keep your nerves rested. Give them the soothing influence of restful people and beautiful things, and-cultivate a passion for the loveliness of the out-of-doors.
If you rule your nerves you will never need any other ruler, for you will rule yourself—which is greater than ruling a nation.
From the New York Times
Bedouin tribesmen engaged in looting the Holy City of the Prophet are a reminder that it is with Moslem unity as with so many other unites. Distance lends enchantment. The nearer view reveals the eternal human factor at play. Before the World War Europe worried over the Pan-Islamic menace. Timid people saw $300,000,000 Mohammedans spring to arms with a spontaneity predicted by Mr. Bryan for his own countrymen under somewhat different circumstances. The signal for the Jehad or holy war against the Infidel would be sounded from Constantinople, and Asia had Africa would respond. Abdul Hamid gave the signal, but there was no response. The Moslem of non-Turkish blood knew Pan-Islamism for what it was designed—a political weapon to be employed for Ottoman purposes. The World War laid the ghost of Pan-Islamism. Instead of turning the Prophet's sword against the Glaur, his followers were found arrayed against each other. In the case of Britain's Indian troops the True Belever was actually found fighting for the Infidel against the Successor at Istanbul.
Though political Pan-Islamism had been thus disposed of, the spiritual unity of Islam remained valid in the outsider's eyes. Here there was certainly greater justification for the popular believer. But in this respect, too, the solidity of Islam has been exaggerated. This is attested by present events in Arabia. Politics may enter to some extent into the Wahhab war against the late King of the Hedjaz. But there is no reason for doubling that the root cause is religious. The Wahhab represent a Fundamentalist Moslem movement now 200 years old. Once before the camel-riders poured out of the desert and stormed Mecca and went so far as to destroy the sacred Kaaba. The orthodox followers of Ibn Saud. It is to be presumed, have thought of Mecca and Medina as certain sections of Texas and Kentucky think of New York City. They are places given up to the lusts of the flesh, the houses of idolators and money-changers. It did not help Husselin's cause that an King of the Hedjaz he took on richer state and went in for hobnobbing with the British, palvering with the French, and otherwise doffing himself with the thrones and principalities of the Fertilium.
The revival of Moslem orthodoxy has in the Wahhab crusade only one of its manifestations. It has been more strikingly in evidence during the last 75 years in Africa. In the northern half of that continent the crusading spirit of Islam has been scoring successes, frankly, if ruefully, attested by Christian missionary workers. In Central Africa, between the Sahara and the Gulf of Gulnes, converts have been frequently drawn to the Prophet through the traditional instrument of the sword. Before 1850 the Hauna peoples were thus won over and four Mohammedan kingdoms erected in the heart of the Northern Congo and the Chad region. The work has chiefly been carried on, however, through persuasion and by the religious orders whom we know in the mass as devilshes. The most powerful of these orders is the Senusil, with their capital somewhere in the desert south of Tripoli. The Senusil are, in principle at least, not a fighting order. Their purpose has been to erect a barrier to the advance of Christianity by preaching a rigid and isolated orthodoxy. Their tenets are in most respects like the Puriianism of the Wahhab. Students of the subject are "no means certain that the Senusil moves it will not yet score 'tremendous results.'"
Of the other school of Moslem propaganda, the school of force, the most famous manifestation, of course, was the Mahdist movement which was shattered by Kitchener at Omdurman 26 years ago, but not until it had destroyed the Egyptian power in the Sudan and, had infamed millions with the conviction that at last the Messiah predicted of the Prophet had arrived. It was a fanatism which hurried 40,000 devilish again and again against Kitchener's hollow aquares and was spent only when out of that number 11,000 dead and 16,000 wounded lay on the ground. Kipling's certificate of merit to Fuzzy-Wuzzy is scarcely exaggerated.
Subject simultaneously to modernism and to orthodox revivalism, uprooting and secularizing at Angora and demonstrating for the literal interpretation of the Koran at Mecca, the Mohammed world reveals itself to the outsider as most remarkably like the rest of the world.
All Set
The prisoner was not professionally represented. Before proceeding with the case, the judge said: "This is a very serious offense you are charged with. If you are convicted, it means a long term of imprisonment. Have you no counsel to look after your defense?" The prisoner, in the most confidential manner, leaned toward the judge and replied: "No, your honor, I have no counsel; but I have some very good friends on the jury."—Chicago Continent.
SEVERAL MILLION OUT OF WORK ALL, OF THE TIME
Russell Sage Foundation
Finishes Thorough Survey—Public Employment
Bureau Should Replace
Private Agencies
NEGRO LABOR AFFECTED
The Russell Sage Foundation of New York City, one of the wealthiest and dependable charitable organizations in the country, has just completed a thorough investigation of labor conditions and abuses which should be informing and helpful to the readers of The Negro World, and of which the following is a summary:
Averaging good and bad years, 10 to 13 per cent of all the workers in the United States (several millions of men and women) are out of work all of the time. Widespread unemployment is now a constant phenomenon, with far-reaching economic, social, psychological and moral bearings.
In seeking work through certain types of commercial or fee-charging employment bureaus, particularly those dealing with unskilled and casual labor, thousands of men and women are being exploited. Public employment bureaus or exchanges can make a material contribution, toward the solution of this and other phases of the ever-recurring problem of unemployment. These are some of the facts brought out in the introduction to the report of a five year study of employment methods, needs, and agencies made public here today by the Russell Sage Foundation of New York. It is made clear in the report that the figures on unemployment, while representing the average of the country's experience during the last two decades, are not necessarily indicative of present conditions or of the last year.
The investigation, which extended into more than 70 cities in 31 States and Canada, has just been completed. The full report, covering more than 600 printed pages, will be issued shortly. The survey was conducted by a staff of trained field investigators, all of whom had previously been engaged in employment work, under the direction of Shelly M. Harrison, Director of the Foundation's Department of Surveys and Exhibits. Practically every known means for bringing work and the worker together was studied. The "want ad" pages of newspapers, the fee-charging labor agencies, the free public employment office, the labor union's method of securing work for its members, the fraternal order's activities in this field, the practice of applying for work at the factory gate or the office door, all were investigated. The report will point out the advantages and disadvantages to employer and employee on the general employment situation.
A special study was made of the situation in Ohio, Wisconsin, Massachusetts and New York, where there has been the greatest development of organized public employment work. Separate studies were made also of the special problems of farm labor, migratory and casual workers, junior workers, handicapped workers, immigrants, Negro workers and professional workers. After citing the fact that each year from 1,000,000 to 6,000,000 persons are out of work for weeks and sometimes for months at a time, the introduction to the Foundation's forthcoming report says:
"There is something which we are just beginning to recognize, a recruitment on the part of the workers against an industrial situation in which such insecurity and uncertainty of employment are possible. It is not only unemployment, but the fear of unemployment, the knowledge that any job is uncertain and insuree, subject to the fluctuations of economic change, which is responsible for much of our present industrial unrest."
This situation, the report will show, has been aggravated by the fact that the unskilled worker who has sought employment through certain types of labor agencies, in many cases, has been subjected to such abuses as paying a fee and then failing to get a job; being sent to distant points where no work or unsatisfactory work exists, but whence he could not return because of the expense involved; being employed through collusion between the agent and employer and after a few days' work being discharged to make way for a new workman while the agent and employer divided the fee. The report of the Russell Sage Foundation says:
One conclusion drawn from such findings has been that we must have public burpurs to take the place of the private fee-charging agencies. That is in so far as people are informed on the question and have expressed their sentiments, most of them appeared convinced that we should have public employment burpurs because of the abuses of some fee-charging agencies quite regardless of other considerations. In addition, however, the feeling has been growing that this service, in the nature of the case, should be free, and that the very fact of fee-charging carries with it a dangerous temptation to abuse and fraud.
"It is obvious, of course, that if the public exchanges could by legislation or court action secure exclusive away in the whole field, the fee-charging agencies with the abuses attributed to them would be bound to disappear. And such a plan, aimed to abolish these agencies, particularly those dealing with unskilled, semi-skilled, casual, and other non-professional workers. is what some advocates of the public exchanges would adopt. There is, however, serious question whether action of that kind, if it were possible, would be wise. The mere abolition of a thing does not always help the situation. That is only negative. It is more important to-build up a good constructive

competing organization. The abolition alone of the private fee-charging agencies would not necessarily bring about a system of public employment bureaus nor an efficient system. With all their abuses the private agencies are performing a function needed in the absence of an adequate public system; they should not be abolished until something is provided to take their place.
"It would seem far more practical to set to work on a positive program of improving the public bureaus, for if we get a good public service, the fee-charging agencies and their abuses will then become a minor question. The private agency will be ill-equipped because it will be useless; or we shall learn how to improve it through experience gained in the public bureaus."
Provision Being Made for Organized Play for Negroes By WEAVER PANGHORN In the Southern Workman
Never before have the public opportunities of colored people for outdoor recreation and social good times been so extensive, announces the Playground and Recreation Association of America, which has just issued its summary of facts concerning public recreation in America during 1923. Two hundred and thirty playgrounds and recreation centers, about 1.8th of the total number of 6,601 such centers reported by cities throughout the country, are maintained for the exclusive use of Negroes.
Macon, via, recently appropriated $1,000 for a playground for colored people in Norfolk, Va. The city appropriates $5,000 each year toward the colored Community Service work. Indianapolis, Ind., has set aside for the recreation of her colored people a tract known as Douglas Park, equipped with playgrounds, tennis courts, baseball diamonds, horseshoe pitching courts and a huge concrete swimming pool, built at a cost of $70,000.
The Board of Park Commissioners of Terre Haute, Ind., last year gave special attention to the recreation of colored citizens by equipping a piece of ground in an undeveloped park as a Negro playground. In Ottawa, Kan., the use of the high school, building, including the gymnasium, is given over to the colored people one night each week throughout the year. A volunteer director comps its activities for the colored group.
The colored people of Flamant
N.J. under the direction of the City
Recreation Commission, have organized
the Flamant Recreation Association,
to afford more opportunities for
wholemee recreation for the city's Ner-
gro population.
NEGRO ORGANIZATION
SHOULD BE USEFUL
Negro National Mechanics' Exchange Meets and Elects Officers—Plenty of Work for Them to Do
ST. LOUIS, Mo.—Through the Mechanical Exchange of this city a nationwide call was made to bring together the leading skilled and professional architects, builders, workmen and mechanics of the country. Many responded to the call, and from August 30 to September 1 they met at St. James A. M. E. Church, where they organized the National Mechanical Exchange.
The main object of this meeting and organization is to organize local branches in every State, city and town wherever a number of professional architects, engineers, mechanics or skilled workmen are found, men or women, and to have them register with both the local and national organization, with a short history of the person, the kind of work - skilled labor, mechanical trade or profession - they may be able to do, manage or contract.
It is commonly known that the trade unions of other cities have and are disarming against our group of skilled workmen, architects, builders and mechanics, and one of the main objects of the National Exchange is to be able to furnish to the owners, financiers, society leaders, pastors, churches and congregations competent and skilled workmen and artisans wherever and whenever our group have buildings to be built, money to be spent, plans to be made and Skilled workmen to be used. There has been a long effort among our people for an organization of this character.
The following officers were elected at the national meetings: John A. Lankford, president, architect, Washington; D. C. Frank, Matteo, vice-president; John R. Steele, corresponding secretary, Boston; National Mechanical Exchange, St. Louis Mio; Samuel C. Duke, recording secretary, Oliver Starks, treasurer; R. F. Bowles, national organizer, and Rey W. H. Peck, chaplain. The officers are well known scientific and practical man of skill and ability. John A Lankford the president, is an architect and mechanical engineer of national repute who has made good as an architect, supervisor of construction, and who has accumulated considerable wealth as a business man and property owner. Messiah Steele, Bowles and Dr. Peck are well known throughout the country.
For, information, write the National Mechanics' Exchange, 4598 Garfield avenue, St. Louis, Mo., John R. Steele, corresponding secretary.

Mr. J. M. Stuart-Young, the British lyric writer and tropical author, writes from his home at Onilsha, Southern Nigeria, Africa, the following interesting article for The Negro World: Whether the eclipse of the moon which was witnessed here on the evening of Thursday, August 14, had been announced in the press I do not know. R found us in Nigeria unprepared, General consternation was the first keynote of the natives' mood.
Africans of all ages and beliefs—Mohammedans, Christians, Pagans—came pouring to the European bungalows for information. From the brightest moonlight about the hour of 7 (so cripply clear that one could read comfortably by its glow) had developed by 8 o'clock an almost Cimmerian darkness. And there was an eerie hush of expectancy in the air that thralled the nerves and brought a strained look to the eyes. For the phenomenon of the akles had a most peculiar appearance. It was as though there were a volcano in the south east corner of the moon, erupting dense volumes of smoke toward the rims. Not only was the moon itself almost wholly obliterated, but the surrounding sky seemed dark. This was doubtless an optical illusion, imas-much as the zenith remained luminous, proving that at least the northern portion of the moon was still emitting the brightest of beams.
I measured my colored callier by a pretended consultation of the almanac. "Everything is in order." I told them. "We white folk knew that this strange event was coming. It is merely one of the periodic eclipses of the moon familiar to science." That magic word stilled all doubt. "White Man Savvy" can be made to cover the weirdest of natural revelations. It is almost pitiful to witness the reliance which the Negro shows toward our Aryan wisdom.
About 8:30 the moon became so dim that a rumor began to stir in the Hausa and Yoruba villages to the effect that this was to be the night of the prophet's second coming. Pandemonium seemed to break out almost at a breath. Whatever fear may have been felt at first was now hidden behind a vell of the wildest joy, the most fanatical enthusiasm. Tom-toms throbbled; fiddles wailed; ukuleles (or our African subsistency, for the ukulele) shrilled, and flutes allotted up and down the chromatic scale.
The women and girl-children were herded into the street in separate companies from the mob. These latter had bright their mirrors to the seed of the prosecution, and they started a parade of the town to the streets of the most scintillating muse that metal could imagine. The smaller ones were relegated to the position of lamp and touch beaters; the clouds of dust were taken from the sandy cedar by the thousands of clotting feet.
As the prosecution stood part my quarter, I was surrounded in a restless texture of a few of the lilac men, with a retinue that seemed mean.
question of the matter they would turn
himself being gone the mean high green
bounded the earth and the simple below
the huge fields of their wide
philippine. To be mild in ours later-
protection, the question was both indignate and unfortunate.
"What in earth does this invitation
to the mean imply, lbrahna?" I asked
a malah whom I know. "The Prophet
need not come to a woman!" was the
enigmatic answer. "Need not? Can a
male bear a child?" I answered. "The
ways of Allah are inscrutable," the
priest answered. "Our loose garments are due to the tradition that
there shall be no regard of sex when the Prophet chooses the fortunate parast
of His New Coming." Credulity is over the black man's chief charm.
Soon after 10:30 the eclipse had disappeared. A great silence fell over the town. One might deem it proof of disappointment or relief, according to one's own reading of human nature. I sat writing in my compound until long past midnight, the wind lightly stirring the leaves of the orange grove. Occasionally I looked at the sky. The moon was serenely pure, mysteriously alien, remote, self-contained and indifferent.
I thought how superbly Shelley had described just such a night of stars and peace:
To curtain her sleeping world!"
Her sleeping world! I leaned my head to listen. Save for the eternal ziz-ziz-ziz-z of the insects, the dreamy croaking of a far-away frog, and the sighed confidences of wind to leaf, the whole world lay wrapped in repose.
"And so," like Pepys, "to bed!"

Dr. J. E. Aggrey and The Gold Coast People From the Gold Coast Leader
From all accounts our countryman, Dr. Aggrey, continues to excite admiration wherever he goes, and his sayings seem to please our white friends immensely; and it goes without saying that his countrymen are proud of him. But there are aspects of the race problem to which we would like Professor Aggrey later to devote more practical consideration than has hitherto been possible by him. It has been rumored that Dr. Aggrey may likely be one of the masters of Achimota, and we trust that his experience as an educationist will materially strengthen the national character of the educational work in the Gold Coast. It is too late in the day for any educational experts, however eminent in their way, to think that the people of the Gold Coast have not a clear idea of their own as to the line of educational development and advance suited to them as a people and members of the African race. Any one who harbors that view may be disillusioned upon a careful study of the remarkable series of articles by "Akumia" which have been recently published in the "Leader". In the face of them the repetition of the culture plotthe which occurs for instance in Sir Gordon Gugginsberg's booklet, the "Kevynia" must leave many cold. We publish today a letter from His Leadership, the BJP up of Awera, which is a gentle take of the assumption that character is some stereotyped thing which the drill master can show his troops how to put on the Khaki shirts. We agree with His Leadership that the influence of the heart over conduct is far we rather than is admitted by careful mechanical character matters.
CONVENTION. AND GENERAL FUND OF UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION FOR 1924-BIG GATHERING OF NEGROES FROM ALL PARTS OF WORLD
The Universal Negro Improvement Association is now appealing to the members of the organization and members of the race everywhere to do their best to make the convention of 1924 the greatest of all our world conclave. This year the organization is to discuss at its convention all those vital problems that affect the race and to lay down a solid base for the industrial elevation and development of our people. This year's convention will be far ahead in importance of all the other meetings and will call for a great deal of expenditure on the part of the parent body of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, hence this appeal is made to each and every one to contribute to our general and convention fund. Let every Negro give freely as much as he can afford toward this fund so as to assist the Association to carry out its work. All members should collect and send in to the fund. Address all your donations to the Secretary General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th Street, New York, U. S. A. All donations are acknowled- World weekly.
LET'S PUT IT OVER INSTRUCTIONS FOR MEMBERS OF UNIVERSA! NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION
THE NEGRO AND THE JEW LINKED IN MISFORTUNE
Why Not as Equally the Children of Abraham and Sarah Direct from Shem And They Are Becoming Mutually Helpful
1. Be a loyal member by sticking always to the principles of the Association and defending its rights against the enemies of freedom.
To the Editor of The Negro World:
"They acted tolerably well," remarked a prosperous looking individual with a distinctly Southern accent. "Those people acted remarkably well," replied his companion, a corpulent Jew. The above dialogue took place on the stairs of the Colonial Theatre, on Broadway at Sixty-second street, and was in reference to. "The Chocolate Dandles," a colored show now being acted there. The show, without a doubt, is one of the finest ever acted by colored talent, and is worthy of the highest approbation.
2. Pay your dues and annual assessment regularly, so that the Association can have ready capital to carry on its work.
3. Read and study from cover to cover your Constitution, so that no one can take advantage of you by infringing upon your constitutional rights.
4. See to it that your local Secretary makes a monthly report of all moneys received and disbursed, and let him read the copy of his report to the Parent Body and produce receipt of acknowledgment for remittances, so that you can be sure that your Division is financial.
The acting is superb, the music faultless and the costumes of a variety that would make Admiral Dewey in his best uniform took like a retired village curate.
5. See to it that no Officer or anyone starts anything by way of raising money or doing business or creates any financial obligation on the Division without the proper consent first of the Parent Body and members of the Division at a special general meeting duly and properly called.
We thank our Jewish friend for his unblessed criticism and unhesitating commendation. But I wish to remind our critic from the Sunny South that the Negro, as an actor, has long passed the stage of tolerableness, and has advanced with titanic strides to the forefront of admirable accomplishments.
6. Look out always for sharpers and self-seekers, who are always anxious to promote new schemes for their own purposes.
It goes without saying that the Negro must of necessity be a consumate actor, because he has gained for himself the reputation of being the greatest imitator in the world. We know that good acting depends almost entirely on the actor's ability to imitate or impersonate. The aim of the new Negro, however, is not so much of the imitative as of the emulative. The incident furnishes an opportunity for the writer to express an opinion as to the attitude of our Negro brethren towards the Jews, and vice versa.
Not at all infrequently we hear some of our people referring to the lowest people in the most disparaging terms. As far as my personal conception of real friendship goes, I do not believe that the Negro in his struggles towards nationhood has any friends among the greater powers in the world. But I may say, without fear of contradiction, that among the various nationalities representing the white race here in the United States the attitude of the Jewish element towards the Negroes is least humble.
7. Put down at all times disloyalty to the Parent Body from Officers or members.
8. Pay no money without getting a receipt.
10. Don't take anything for granted. You must be shown.
11. Don't go into anything you don't understand.
12. Don't pay your money to anyone except a duly elected or credited Officer of the Association.
13. Don't entertain anyone as a representative of the Parent Body except the person can show you credentials properly signed and up to date by President-General.
14. Don't allow anyone to come in your Division and disorganize you or interfere in your local affairs, except the person has authority and proper credentials from the Parent Body.
The Jews as a race, during the eighteen centuries of exile from their battle land, have suffered untold persecutions. In fact, the condition of the Jews today can be classed as almost identical with that of the Negroes. In the year 63 B. C. Titus, the Roman general, marched from Caesarea and laid siege to the Jewish stronghold. During the weary months that followed the Jews fought bravely to preserve Jerusalem from the hostile foot of the invading armies. But Jerusalem fell, the torch was applied to the sacred temple and Palestine as a nation was known no more. But the Jew, although dispersed to the uttermost parts of the world, has steadfastly kept his face towards Jerusalem, with an undying and firm conviction that his country must eventually be redeemed.
15. Don't buy any stock from anybody claiming to be identified with the Parent Body or any Local. We are not selling any stock.
16. Don't sell your property or anything you have without first seeing and knowing that you are going to profit by it. Look out and don't allow self-seeking Officers or members to sell the Organization's property to buy others, so that they can make a commission for themselves.
17. There is no individual or Division so strong as the Parent Body, so watch out for self-seekers who speak against the Parent Body so as to be able to put over their little local schemes to the detriment of the members.
More than three centuries ago the British Empire, a modern Rome, planted a hostile foot on African soil. The resulting suffering of the natives need not be mentioned, here. The Negroes have been dispersed throughout the universe. We have been wronged, ill-treated, persecuted and scorned. But, imitating the Jew, we have steadfastly kept our face towards Africa, and, like the Jew, we have the unshaken confidence that Africa must be redeemed. Let us not be harsh in our dealings with people who may some day prove to us what Lafayette was to the American revolutionists. Who has housed, and is still housing, the colored, community of Harlem? Who forms the greater part of the faculties of the schools and colleges that educates the Negro? With whom do the Negroes enter into business communications? To whom can the Negro who wants to launch out on any business enterprise go for a loan at any time? None else but the Jew.
17. See that every Negro signs the Petition to the President and Congress asking for a nation in Africa for the race.
The Jews hold in the palms of their hands the financial power that sways Christendom. Jewish finance is the pillar, nay, the very foundation, on which the mighty monarchies and republics are built: Take away the Jewish finance and those powers will crumble, totter and fall.
Having this in mind, can we afford to antagonize such a people? Hands off the Jew! They are a shrewd and far-sseeing race, and who knows whether the Jews realize that a mighty African fleet manned by Negroes might one day prove a tremendous bulwark to the west coast of Palestine on the Mediterranean.

they in Africa. The value of Africa on you cannot be ignored. Abundance of dollars in gold, diamonds, ivory, gold but who is the sole population? If Maguire would stick together and cooperate more in the various divisions and chapters, it would not be long before we would be able to manage these products ourselves. When we go to Africa, we will have our own schools, churches, theatres, stores and a black environment.
I think that every Negro should take a loan with the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, and in less time than a year shops owned by Negroes would be on the seas, taking care of freight and passengers as other races and nations have done.
I am not a member of this organization, but am a true friend. My intention is to join and go to our country, Africa. Friends, If you all take heed of this and stick together success is sure. May God bless our leader and give us success in this association. A well-wisher of the U. N. I. A.
CHARLES BENJAMIN SHELMON.

To the Editor of The Negro World:
Please and space for this article in your paper, one of the greatest for Negro uplift and progress that the world has ever known.
The Negro's condition of today is deplorable, as in a sense all over the world, with a few exceptions. Negroes are stilf to be found consumers as they were during the days of slavery. We have our doctors, lawyers, preachers, bankers, real estate and insurance corporations. What are they? They are consumers, waiting for our laboring people's dollars in order that they may operate; yet, some of them serve very good purposes at times to the race. Our greatest obstruction is that these men fail to call the Negro people of the world together for the purpose of uniting our entire, group and directing them to seek to become producers, commercially, industrially, politically and financially, as other races of men have done, in order that we may be able to stand on our feet as men in every respect. The minute our professionals leave the colleges and universities they forget their race and become self-seekers at the expense of the entire race.
I advise Hon. Marcus Garvey and other officials of the U. N. I. A. to carry on the great work for the advancement of all the NEGro people of the world. I know that you have the support and well-wishes of the majority of our race. Negro people of the world, please consider these last statements. You have thousands of young men and women in the universities and colleges today that are looking to you to give them positions after they complete their training; will you come together

still in darkness of ages. Why should
thou fear, as God is near?
Nothing I'll say of the treatment of

story of the Negroes has been a yarn
in Africa among Bantus, because they

what Negroes are; also, how they went

To the Editor of The Negro World:

I am a member of Division No. 23. I joined recently and have always supported the cause morally; but at the present time I intend to support the movement financially and extend my moral support.
I want those who are not members of the U. N. I. A. to understand how I feel. I can hardly express how I feel after becoming a member of our gigantic movement. I feel as if I have done something that is right and that I am released from some burden.

Impressions of a French Scholar in New York
To the Editor of The Negro World:
It frequently happens that an individual, not satisfied with the occasional surroundings in which fate has placed him, is impulsed by his studies, his reflections and his own experiences, to modify the conceptions given to him by circumstances of birth and first education. If the child is apt to accept without discussion the beliefs and prejudices in him by those whom he then considers intellectually as well as otherwise his superiors, later the grown man, endowed with the spirit of scientific criticism, wants to know the reasons for his opinions, and in him become more precisely defined his real personal tastes and attitudes.
According to this process, the thinking man is able gradually to set on solid bases his religious faith, his political opinions, his vocational aptitudes. He no longer accepts the ideas received

If most people keep all through their lives a remembrance bridged with temerares for the place where they spent their younger years, it does not pains that these same people will agree in ways and in thoughts, and taceth with the people in that place. dear to them. A man may be born among the place, and silent folks of a foggy city and feel at home only in the company of the merry inhabitants of a sunny place.
In this country, where many races align with each other, best friends are often made with individuals of quite different stocks. Should a blonde Nordic choose his friends only amougst blondes? This proposition of a friendship based upon the degree of pigmentation of the hair seems a stupid idea. It is stupid. And there is something else, just so stupid that is division based upon the degree of pigmentation of the skin, regardless of the intellectual and moral value of individuals. To the thinking of an un prejudiced observer it looks so silly! Many a so-called white man is attracted by a secret mental affinity toward the colored people and enjoys their company more than that of the selfish and rude Nordic. Conscientious white men, disapproving of the oppression forced upon the Negroes, would like to have a chance to show them their sympathy.
But somebody will tell me: "You can change your religious faith, your political standing, your surroundings, your nationality, but you can never change your race; whatever be your sympathy for the Negroes, you will never be colored." To that I shall answer: "Certainly, a white man can change his Caucasian blood into a colored blood if he marries a colored girl, then all the generations that will come out of them will bear the mark of the association: all their descendants will be colored. And, as a man is more anxious about the welfare of his children than about his own, and more jealous of their happiness and success, then the man or the woman who chooses a colored mate, ought to belong, by his own voluntary choice, to the colored race.

LEGION NOTES OF INTEREST
By MAJOR H. VINTON PLUMMER
Adjutant General
The President-General and
Commander-in-Chief, Hon. Marcus Garvey,
arrived at headquarters last Wednesday,
October 22, and business in on
the hum.
The Universal African Royal Engineers, Division No. 125, Detroit, Mich. under command of Colonel Frank White, is getting down to business already. Though but recently organized, they have instituted a schedule of instruction in the several trades and professions, which is unique indeed, and will serve as a worker for other engineer corps or unite. They have set aside Mondays for general instruction in all departments at their Liberty Hall; Tuesdays and Thursdays, brieflingly, under Instructor, Wm. O'Neal; carpentry, Wednesdays and Fridays, Instructor Charles Zampty; mechanical engineering, including machinists, steam fitting, plumbing, stationary engineering and firing; Tuesdays and Thursdays, Instructor L. Trotter; electricity, Tuesdays and Thursdays, Instructor H. H. Stewart; radioling, Wednesdays and Fridays, Instructor J. Snowball; civil engineering, Thursdays and Saturdays, Instructor, Mr. Payne.
In looking over the many reports we came across Ia. May West, Virginia Division. No. 446, under President C E. Wright, Captain M. B. Walker, and Lieut. and Adjutant L. C. Evans. These men are doing excellent work.
Major A. V. Irving, of Newark, N. J., reports the success he is meeting with in his district as inspector and organizer. We are very pleased to hear of the ready response to his call. We are sorry none of the general staff from headquarters could be present at Newark's first military ball on last Thursday. Thanks for the invitation just the same.
Winston-Salem, N. C., legions are going strong. Gen. H. C. Holland is president of the division; S. W. Hawkins is secretary, with Captain S. G. Good and Lieutenant Hubert Wright, commanding the uniformed units.
The New York Royal Engineer Corps under Col. S. E. Lord, has instituted a curriculum of study, which is along the same lines as the Detroit corps. Mondays and Thursdays from 8:30 to 11:30 p.m. are devoted to instruction in Blacksmithing, led by Private Golding; Tuesdays and Fridays are given over to instruction in carpentry, under Captain Crawford and Lieut. Moore. Wednesdays and Fridays, mechanical, electrical and steam engineering are taught. Other instructors are Sergeant Simons, stone masonry and bricklaying, and Lieut. Austin, general mathematics. This looks like business boys.

Well, to make a long story short, the bell rang and the boys were at it. Ash was quite anxious, because he started from his corner before the bell, and Brown, with back turned to Ash's corner, was limbering up.

right. Down went Ash to ashes and to dust. The ball in the church around the corner rolled out ten, and Brown was declared the winner.
You talk about happy folks! The Negro boys shouted and yelled, threw their hats in the air, jumping here and there, and acclimating. "That's my boy! Bring on Pancho Villa." It was great!
