NEGRO TOURISTS GOING TO WEST INDIES AND CENTRAL AMERICA ABOARD PALATIAL SHIP OWNED BY RACE
Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting:
The Universal Negro Improvement Association, through the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, is now preparing to open its new trade drive for the commercial and industrial development of the race, in January, 1925. In keeping with the purpose of bringing about a closer bond of fellowship between the Negroes of the world, the Association and the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company have decided to send the first ship of the corporation, the S. S. Booker T. Washington, of 5,300 tons, on a cruise of the West Indies and Central America, taking in the countries of Cuba, Haiti, Jamaica, Panama, Costa Rica and Bocas del Toro. On this cruise the palatial ship will carry a group of American Negro tourists who will have the opportunity of studying the life and customs of the West Indian and Central American Negroes in their own countries. The trip offers a splendid education to those who have never visited the tropics. The West Indies and Central America are in the tropical zone, where vegetation is ever green, where the flowers bloom the year around, and where nature never changes except to enhance her own beauty.
Going to the Sunny Tropics
At this time of the year all those of the white race in America who can afford it have either gone to Florida or California in America to escape the cold winter, or to Bermuda, Jamaica or Cuba of the West Indies or some of the warmer countries of Central America. It is not customary for American Negroes to travel out as tourists, because the opportunity of conveyance has never been presented, but the Universal Negro Improvement Association, through the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, now presents such an opportunity, and it is felt that all those who can afford to take the cruise should do so by applying immediately for reservations at the office of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, 56 West 135th Street, New York.
A Splendid Cruise
The cruise will be for 31 days. The good ship Booker T. Washington will leave New York

LOCAL DIVISIONS OF U. N. I: A. SHOULD SEND ONE OF THEIR TRUSTED OFFICERS ON THIS CRUISE OF EDUCATION
NEW INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL PROGRAM FOR BIG ORGANIZATION
City on Sunday, the 11th of January, and return on the 7th of February, 1925. The round trip passage is $350. There are a few special accommodations at $400.
Divisions of U. N. I. A. Should Send President or Secretary
The Universal Negro Improvement Association recommends to all its divisions in the United States to arrange to send either their president or secretary on this trip so as to bring them in closer relationship with the real work of this great organization. We all know that the branches of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its work extend all over the world, and, while in America, the American Negroes know that our organization operates in the West Indies and Africa, and while the Divisions of the West Indies, Central America and Africa know that our organization operates in America, yet personal contact will be a direct education, so that those who desire to go on the cruise will be brought into such a closer union. All those divisions that can afford to send either their president or secretary on this tour should do so, so as to broaden their minds and intelligence and to give them a fuller understanding of our great work and organization.
A New Education
Each division that desires to send its president or secretary should start out immediately to raise funds locally for the passage. All who desire to take this trip must have their reserva-
tions booked not later than the 15th of December. We also ask that the members of the Association canvass their respective communities for prospective tourists who will make the trip and advise them to write in to the New York office of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company for reservations. Everybody should help to make the cruise a success. Members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association everywhere should now get together and work to make the organization a greater institution for 1925 even than it has been for 1924. Everybody should lend whatsoever
support possible to the pro- commercial and industrial plans. There is much to be done and it is well that all of us be started on the way doing it. The thanks of the organization are due to all those divisions and members who have done their best in helping us to secure the first ship of the new corporation.
$17,000 More Wanted
Only $17,000 more is needed to pay completely for the ship, and it is felt that those who have not yet paid up in full on their loans and others who have not yet made their loans to the corporation will do so within the next fifteen days, so that when our ship sails on January 11 every cent of obligation will have been paid.
Great preparations are being made in the West Indies and Central America to welcome to those shores the visitors from America. No one should miss seeing the beauties of the tropics at this time of the year, so we advise each and every one to take advantage of this opportunity presented by the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company.
With very best wishes for your success, I have the honor to be
Your obedient servant,
MARCUS GARVEY,
Universal Negro Improvement Association. New York City, November 18, 1924. P. S.—Members and Divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are again reminded to speed up their officers in making their monthly reports to the Parent Body and see that each Division is kept financial. The Parent Body needs all the support possible to carry on its tremendous work for 1924 and 1925.

VIRGIN ISLANDERS HAVE HIGH HOPES
Republican Victory Should Give Them a Constitutional Status and a Civil Government of Their Own
By CASPER HOLSTEIN President of the Virgin Islands Congressional Council
Now that the election is over, the people of the Virgin Islands are looking forward anxiously to the steps which the administration may take to redeem the fair name of the nation in regard to its dependents in the Caribbean islands who are still in the unfortunate status midway between those of citizens and aliens. The Republican Congress will no longer be in a post-
tion to charge the situation in the Virgin Islands to Congressional oversight. For the matter has not only been sufficiently aired before the country and Congress, but it has even been adverted to in the platform of one of the major parties during the campaign just ended. The islanders have hoped for the success of the Republican party in the furvid belief that that party would be willing to apply to them the principles of the great emancipator, and it remains to be seen whether their hopes are to be fruitless.
The social and political conditions have not yet been changed for the better. The navy still administers the islands, with all that that implies. Out of a total of 26,000 inhabitants, the pallet is still restricted to just a few hundred of them by obsolete naval laws administered by American naval officials. Despite the seventeenth amendment, there is neither woman's suffrage nor manhood suffrage in the islands, and Congress has not yet decided what the civic status of Virgin Islanders is.
Acquired in the hustle and bustle of our war preparations in 1917, the islands are still considered solely from the standpoint of naval and strategic requirements. The human and social obligations growing out of their acquisition have not yet received proper consideration either from Congress or the Executive. As Henry Chapin expressed it in 1920, "a Napoleonic code still rules the Virgin Islands."
The judiciary system still stands in need of much revising to bring it up to the American standard. Even the natives of Baralong in the Philippines are better off in this respect than the civilized natives of the Virgin Islands are at present under the American flag. The elevation of Washington Williams to the bench does not seem to hold out very high hopes on that head under the present regime. For that entiment jurist has already expressed the opinion in print, both on the islands and here in New York, that the "constitution does not and need not apply to the situation in the Virgin Islands." And what the Virgin Islanders are at present demanding is nothing less than the application of the constitution, with its guarantees of civil government, to the present deplorable case.
The Virgin Islanders on the mainland have not been backward in meeting the challenge of autonomy and the menace of naval dictatorship. Again and again they have come together, not only in mass meetings but also in effective deeds, to oppose their power and insurance of the progress of the naval juggernaut whose wheels would crush out the principles and civic rights of their brethren in the islands.
The Virgin Islands Congressional Council is the permanent working center around which their activities converge, and the services which this organization has rendered has been appreciated by the people and by all fair-minded Americans, except the personnel of the naval regime, in whose sides these activities have been a very decided thorn. Needless to say, this opinion of the navalists has no effect on the work of the council, which continues to send out from New York intellectual and political assistance to the

Under the inspiring leadership of this vigorous body of Negro missionaries, the American Virgin Islands (as those on the mainland call themselves) are preparing, to enter the third year of their organized struggle with a deeper consciousness of their cause and a stronger faith in its ultimate victory. They have considered well the odds against these, and the difficulties in the way, and by co-operation and collective action they know that they can and will win the rights of equal manhood with other Americans which they have set out to achieve. Week by week their membership and resources increase, and their confidence increases at the same rate. Already they see themselves within sight of the goal and may reasonably expect to attain the promised land of assured citizenship within the lifetime of the coming Congress.

Madame Mamie Hightower's Golden Brown BEAUTY PREPARATIONS
The unfortunate dependence of Lancashire upon the U. B. A. for cotton, coupled with the fact that that country is not disposed to grow materially habitation then this year's supposed good crop is three million bales short of 1914-15 harvest), and the fact that she is taking ever-increasingly of her own staple, have made American cotton quite impossible for Lancashire.
Last year Lancashire cut down her 1918 quota by half, the prime reason being that she could not get sales for pre-war quantities of cloth for the poor people of the East and Far East on account of high prices.

Famous Bobbed Hair Beauties Use and Recommend Madame Mamie Hightower's Golden Brown BEAUTY PREPARATIONS
I have received so many letters regarding bobbed hair that I feel the subject must be of vital importance to nearly every girl and woman of our group. Some writers urge me to condemn the style; some beg me to endorse it:
The bob is a glorious style for the woman of youth and vivacity; and it is becoming to some other types. Study the photos here; notice how the different types of beauty have used the different bobs. Notice Violet Holland's demure expression; could she dress her hair like Bobby Holmes? Or like Emma Jackson?
To Bob or not to bob depends upon the HAIR. Coarse, kinky, unruly hair must first be tamed—and the taming is easy.
JUST DO THIS: Put a little Golden Brown Hair Dressing in the palm of the hand, slick it over hair and rub well into the scalp. Then comb any way you want—that is all.
Golden Brown Hair Dressing is a dainty, exquisite toilet preparation, highly perfumed. Use it instead of straightening combs or messy pressing oils. Use it and dress your hair in any style you wish.

consequence he has the alternative of

Much information may be plausible from the answers given to the International Cotton Growing Association by cotton planters, and published in their official organ, The International Cotton Bulletin, dealing, among other matters, with the wages paid in the African cotton growing belts. These

LET'S PUT IT OVER
WHAT NEGRO REPUBLICANS EXPECT FROM THE SWEEPING VICTORY
WE have always believed that those who help make a party and help to win party victories should share in the honors and emoluments of victory. In the old days before President Roosevelt succeeded President McKinley in the White House Negro Republicans had some considerable representation in the foreign and domestic service, where from President Grant to President Cleveland they had had a very great deal of representation. Gradually we had fallen out of favor in Republican politics, so that when President Coolidge succeeded President Harding we were practically dead in the foreign and domestic service, as far as partisan appointments are concerned, and if we could not have got into the public service through the civil service competitive examinations, we should have had a very negligible representation in the public service. We should have been on the outside.
Mr. William C. Matthews, who had charge of race interests on the Republican side during the late elections, in addressing his staff of workers who helped to give the Republican party its sweeping and impressive victory, outlined what he and his associates believe the Negro race is entitled to as partisans. He makes some seventeen specifications, comprehending representation in the foreign and domestic service and remedial legislation for which the race has been clamoring for for years, and for which the Negro press has been contending for many years, and upon the negation of which by the Republican managers the Negro vote was split in the late elections as never before in the history of the race.
Mr. Matthews knows what the race wants as Republican partisans and he evidently believes that he was asked to help win the Republican victory with the implied understanding that the party would remove the just causes of grievances which have grown up in the party to the prejudice of the best interests of race partisans. He has the courage of his convictions and has put in black and white what the race expects of the Republican party, and what he and his associates if the working force of the Republican party will contend for, leaving it to the Republican Administration to accept or reject it, as the case may be. It is quite refreshing to have the race's grievances stated by one with authority to speak, and who has the ear of the President and the responsible managers of the Republican party.
Agitation is the breath of social, civil and economic justice. Those who know their rights in these vital matters and stand up manfully for them, have their own respect, which is a very great consideration, and the respect of the rest of mankind. Mr. Matthews has done a fine piece of work in helping the Republican party to win with the assistance of the race vote and in stating candidly what he expects for the race as partisans from the successful Republican party.
NATIVE AFRICANS PROTEST AGAINST MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE
THE following report of a public meeting in Cape Colony, South Africa, shows that the natives are very much aroused and outspoken against the growing tendency among the white rulers to abuse the natives and be whitewashed for so doing by the white courts. The report reads:
"A large gathering of natives of the Cape called on Sunday under the auspices of the Industrial and Commercial Workers' Union, held at Ndabeni on the Public School Square, carried unanimously the following resolutions:
"(a) 'That this meeting of natives of the Cape views with great alarm and deprecates the sentence given by Mr. Justice van Pittius to the Dutch farmer who recently [deleted] a native girl.' The meeting is of opinion that while there seems to be no amelioration of miscarriage of the law in the Courts of Justice in cases in which white and black are involved, the time has arived, that the jury system be abolished and substituted by either: (a) The appointment of assessors; or (b) inclusion of black juries in all cases in which white and black races are involved.
"Further, the meeting wholeheartedly supports the argument advanced and the resolution introduced by Father Rand in the Synod on this question, and while it condemns the tone of the argument of the Dutch Reformed Church ministers on this question, it deplores the statement made by the Minister of Justice (Mr. Tielman Roos) on the Standerton case, whose viewpoint is to perpetuate the existence of a spirit of looking upon the white race with suspicion and racialism between white and black, which situation will ultimately lead to lawlessness and reprisals being committed, detrimental to the future of South Africa."
In the Negro World of last week we published a full account of the Standerton case, in which a native girl was abused and done to death by a young Dutch farmer, who got off with a six weeks' term of imprisonment. It was a miserable miscarriage of justice and has deprived the natives to a sense of injury which they deeply feel and hurt.
The natives are also much worked up over the case of a young woman who went to Africa with the consent of her parents in the intention of marrying an educated East Indian doctor, but
who was persuaded and forced not to do so when the rescued Africa and the white authorites found out her intention. The natives present the impetition that a white woman may not marry a black person, although they are opposed to such marriages. The fact is pointed out that the whites have filled the land with natives by black women whom they have not taken the trouble to marry and whose children they have left the black mothers to rear and educate. If honorable marriage is to be outlawed the natives insist that clandestine associations should be outlawed.
Feeling is growing so intense among the natives that a proposal has been made that the Gandhi policy of non-co-operation with Europeans should be adopted by Africans as it has been adopted by East Indians. It has been suggested that the natives refuse to serve the Government, to work for white people, or to buy of or sell them anything. It is a big undertaking, but if the chiefs and tribes concerned determine to undertake it the white man in the Union of South Africa would soon feel the pinch of the shoe, as they have felt it in India.
The South African newspapers and correspondence that reach The Negro World all show unmistakably that the native Africans are beginning to fall in with the idea of "Africa for the Africans" and for the development of the nationhood idea: The spread of intelligence among the natives, who now have newspapers of their own in English and the native languages, is giving the natives a broader outlook, while the oppression of the government and the greed of the employers of labor, with the scant justice the natives get in the white courts, are arousing the people to make a determined stand for justice and fair play. Discontent is spreading, and the British are seeking to meet it with force, as in the recent Uganda armed expedition, which is a mistaken policy.
When people begin to think and protest, they are on the way to self-reliance and independence.
CAN SECURE UNOGCUPIED LANDS IN CUBA
THE ownership of land anywhere and by any person of collection of persons is one of the most important investments that can be made. There is a theory that those who own the land will own those who live on it and till it. There is a great deal of truth in the saying. It is the question of ownership of land or working for others who do own it that has provoked more strife than any other, as ownership of land and taxing of it are among the most important and touchy of the relations of the citizen and the ruling power in the State or Nation. Taxation falls in large measure upon land values. Those who pay rental for housing and those who rent acreage for tillage, or work for wages as farm help, pay the taxes levied on the property in the last analysis.
Unless land is used for housing or tillage purposes it has but little taxable or sale value. If it remains unsetiled and untilled long enough it will eat itself up by the small taxation placed upon it as a matter of course. There is much vacant land everywhere, although there are always plenty of people who need the use of it. The rich withhold much valuable land from use for one purpose and another, and this is regarded as bad by those who need the land. The abuse is not so common in the United States as it is in Europe.
Rev. R. Daley Sibblis, rector of St. James African Orthodox Church, at Antilla, Oriente, Cuba has sent The Negro World the following communication, which we regard as of great moment; he says:
Sir—While I view with great interest the progress of the Black Cross Navigation Steamship Company of the U. N. I. A., I beg to state that as I travel through this island of Cuba I have seen vast tracts of land uncultivated, which, I think, would be worth while for the U. N. I. A., with so many branch societies in this island, might do well, should steps be taken to acquire and couple with the navigation business. I consider this will be a great boon to our association. If my suggestion is accepted and I am permitted to use my little influence to foster such a scheme, I will make the necessary inquiry to acquire such lands, so that our ship or ships may find much to do between this island and the United States.
The suggestion is a very good and timely one, but it should be taken up and considered by the members of the locals in Cuba. It would be the proper thing for the members of any given local to build up a fund for the purchase of available land, to be sold or rented to members, for homes or cultivation; any number of locals could join in such a joint movement. A building and loan fund could be created by slow degrees which would make the undertaking possible. Ownership of homes and lands for cultivation is one of the solutions of labor troubles, small wages and rough treatment about which we hear so much from members in Cuba.

Fraught by the subtle flay of thlevish time.
Who, all too soon, did steal away thy breath.
Just at thy noonday, not long since thy prime.
Conquered by the stern, iron hand of death.
Though gone art thou, remain thy honored name.
And just degrees, so impartially speecht:
Vanquished art thou, but not thy matchless fame.
Thy deeds erect to time a monument.
The syleth of time hath chosen thee his prey.
This nation mourns the end of thy career.
Thy statesmanship blazoned thy righteous way.
Where's the lofty憎ent of thy peer?
Our Stars and Stripes weep over this widowed State.
And we, bereft of thee, are desolate:

Daughter of Africa, the muse of the love of country.
Didst put thee on a pullover, where the light of fame.
Shining, might have shone yet clearer far.
Unfolding dark dark daughters. Ah! if thou warst spared!
Lost to East Africa, love to West.
And to thy race that so much loved thee.
Whose woman for to raise thou didst endeavour, toiling.
In the hope one may, like thee would take their place beside their men folk.
Was it in vain thou didst encompass for America.
Becking to know our ancient African sisters of the West.
And wandering thus to show the light of knowledge that here doth shine.
Founding in the end at home a school of learning shall not fall thee.

When Liberty's banner is seen.
Thy colors make tyranny tremble.

WE MUST MAKE LITERATURE TO MAKE PUBLIC OPINION. By T. Thomas Fortune
Announcement has been made that young Countee P. Cullen of New York, who is still a student in a New York school, has had accepted and published poems in four of the leading magazines for November. This is a remarkable showing, and would be for a veteran author. The magazines that have accepted his poems for November issues are The American Merquy, which publishes his prize winning poem; Harper's Magazine, The Century and The Bookman.
It will be remembered that young Mr. Cullen, has won two prizes in contests for the best poetry of late, and he has now won an entrance into the highest and most exclusive magazines. It is a great gain for him and for the race.
It is good to remember, as Daniel Webster once told a young aspirant for honors at the American bar, that there is always room on the top. And Dr. Washington, who was a philosopher of common sense, once said that if you have something others want they will not be bothered by the color of you but by the price of what you have, and that they would seek you rather than you seek them. It appears to be that way in literature. Young Mr. Cullen has just gone in and offered his poetic wares, and, having been accepted, the best publications of the nation invite him to contribute to their pages, and pay him handsomely for so doing.
As in the case of Roland Hayes, the premier lyric songster of the race, and of Harry Burleigh, the premier composer of the race. Mr. Cullen has not conquered the outworks by sudden onslaught; he has had to plod upwards, as all have to who succeed. The thing is to have the knack of plodding. So many refuse to accept the drudgery of preparing themselves for the work they want to do and are offended when their work is not accepted, with all of its imperfections. The editor is not worried about your race, color or previous condition; what he considers is the work you submit to him for consideration. It has no color. If it is defective in subject, and treatment he rejects it. It is your fault and not his.
We must make our own way in literature. If we leave it to others to write about us and what we think and say and do, they will color it from their racial viewpoint, and it will not always flatter us, nor tell the unwarnished truth about us. To get that we must write the story ourselves. When I write about white people I always do it from the Negro viewpoint. I can't help it. The white man judges me by his viewpoint and I judge him by mine. I prefer my judgment to his. So would you. If he writes his viewpoint of me and I do not write mine of him, he has the advantage of me in the high court of public opinion, which, in the last analysis, rules the roost.
We are fortunate at this time in having a small group of men and women who are writing from the race viewpoint what the race hopes and aspiries to who have the car of the publishers and of the public, and we owe them much, for they interpret us for those who do not know us and our hopes and aspirations.
To Break the Solid South Is a Great Big Job
From The TatNer
The Democratic, National party would be stronger in the Nation and successful offender in State and national elections if it were not weighted down by the brutal Southern oligarchical off-fee-holders' trust, masquerading as a part of the Democratic party, and we think that men, like Mr. Davis and Governor Smith of New York, and Governor Silizer of New Jersey, are beginning to see this fact, and that it will grow among leaders and followers of the Democratic party in the States and the Nation during the coming four years.
The Tattler deemm of supreme importance that the Solid South should be broken, and no longer hang about the neck of the Democratic National party as the Old Man of the Sea clinged to the back of Sinbad the Sailor; and to help break the solid South. The Tattler deems it of supreme importance to break the solid Negro vote of the Nation. It has helped to accomplish the latter result, as in the late election the Afro-American vote was divided between the Republican, Democratic, Progressive and Socialist parties, and can never again be rallied under the standard of the

EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS ON THE RESULT OF THE ELECTIONS
Now that the election is over and the contending parties have buried their hatchets, the country may well adopt the slogan, "Keep cool with Coolidge." President Calvin Coolidge, who has been serving the unexpired term of the late President Harding, during which time he has closely adhered to the Harding principles, has been elected to the Presidency by a substantial majority over his opponents. Basing his appeal to the voters on economy and stability of government, Mr. Coolidge conducted a clean-cut and dignified campaign and deserved to win. Norfolk Journal and Guide. The voice of the people is the voice of God.
The people spoke yesterday and elected Coulledge and Dawes. For the next four years they will guide the ship of state. The Afro-American threw all its support against the Republican-candidates, believing that the heart of America is opposed to the Klan and in favor of citizenship rights for all races. The voters of the country thought otherwise. They must have believed that the President is the littest candidate for the office. They must have believed that Mr. Coulledge has not had an opportunity in the brief year and a half of his term to show his real worth. Having carried out the Harding policies, he should have a chance to demonstrate his own. To the will of the voters the country bows. The leader of the majority is our leader. The Afro-pledges itself to hold up the hands of the President. — Baltimore. Afro-American.

There was right much murmuring among our group, owing to the past performances of the Republican party, but they all felt that with Coolidge at the head of the affairs of government the party might once more be brought to see that the Negroes of the country do not any longer believe that the Republican party is "the ship and all others the sea," and if there is not some better treatment of the Negro as a man and a citizen, there is a probability that a great majority of them might in the future try the "sea."

Significant among the favorable returnd of the election are those announcing the election of Mr. Roberts to the Senate of the State of Illinois and Albert B. George, colored attorney, as a judge to the municipal bench, Chicago. These representative men were elected on the Republican ticket and set a precedent for Negro voters throughout the country, since we have not been fortunate enough hitherto to elect either judge or senator since the reconstruction days of the Civil War. The election of these men to office represents the power of the Negro voter whenever it is intelligently safeguarded. What the Negroes of Chicago have done, Negroes in other large northern centers can do. The way is older. We need not depend entirely on the other man. We have the votes and the law sufficient to get those things which we have been accusing party leaders of denying to the race. Chicago has spoken in no uncertain terms.

HEALTH TOPICS
By DR. B. S. HERBEN Of the New York, Tuberculosis Ass'n
Does Thinking Make It So.
What is the old saying about there being no good or evil, but thinking makes it so?
A great many people believe or fear that certain diseases' are brought about by worrying over the particular disease in question. They have believed that if a person in the family has tuberculosis, or cancer, kidney disease or diabetes, it is possible, or even probable, that they, too, shall succumb to the same illness. They are disturbed by that thought and the more they hold it in their minds the more certain they become that they are showing symptoms. Imagination at last has its way and an anxiety which amounts to an obsession has a firm-hold upon these individuals. "Not strangely enough," but quite logically they begin to show signs of failing health and in some instances do succumb to the very disease which they have so long feared.
Now, fear or worry, which is a manifestation of fear, did not cause the disease, if disease there is. The cause is to be found in the infective agent, such as the tubercle bacillus in tuberculosis, or in the presence of cancer cells in cancer. These were present before worrying began. The tubercle bacillus may or may not have been acquired from the relative who has been the "horrible example". Worry did not and cannot cause these diseases. If the germs or the cancer cell had not been present all the worry in the world could not have caused the disease. On the other hand, worry plays an important indirect part in the causation of illness. If there is a disease focus present in the body it may be lit up by certain conditions or factors, of which anxiety is one.
Fear, as manifested by worry will cause loss of appetite, loss of sleep, unhappiness and other conditions which have influence upon digestion and the other bodily functions. It is one of the duties of a correctly functioning body to heal lesions (damage done by disease) which we breathe in or lake with food; in short, constantly to assert superiority over any menace which may be present and by so doing keep the body in health. If the normal, healthy functioning of the body forces is prevented by inadequate food supply, such as is the outcome of a loss of appetite, if there is overfatigue caused by loss of sleep or overwork; if there is indigestion and those other abnormal conditions present, resistance is lowered, superiority over the enemies which assail us daily is lost and ill health is the result, or, as we say, the disease begins to "get hold of us."
If you have not an actual disease all the thinking you do cannot cause it. If you have a disease intent within in you worry may so undermine your health- that the "weak spot." the hidden fire. may fare up. At any time worry is unhealthful.
who was persuaded and forced not to do so when she reached Africa and, the white authorities found out his intention. The natives consent the imputation that a white woman may not marry a black person, although they are opposed to such marriages. The fact is pointed out that the whites have filled the land with mulattoes by black women whom they have not taken the trouble to marry and whose children they have left the black mothers to rear and educate. If honorable marriage is to be outlawed the natives insist that clandestine associations should be outlawed.
Feeling is growing so intense among the natives that a proposal has been made that the Gandhi policy of non-co-operation with Europeans should be adopted by Africans as it has been adopted by East Indians. It has been suggested that the natives refuse to serve the Government, to work for white people, or to buy of or sell them anything. It is a big undertaking, but if the chiefs and tribes concerned determine to undertake it the white man in the Union of South Africa would soon feel the pinch of the shoe, as they have felt it in India.
The South African newspapers and correspondence that reach The Negro World all show unmistakably that the native Africans are beginning to fall in with the idea of "Africa for the Africans" and for the development of the nationhood idea. The spread of intelligence among the natives, who now have newspapers of their own in English and the native languages, is giving the natives a broader outlook, while the oppression of the government and the greed of the employers of labor, with the scant justice the natives get in the white courts, are arousing the people to make a determined stand for justice and fair play. Discontent is spreading, and the British are seeking to meet it with force, as in the recent Uganda-armed expedition, which is a mistaken policy.
When people begin to think and protest, they are on the way to self-reliance and independence.
CAN SECURE UNOCCUPIED LANDS IN CUBA
THE ownership of land anywhere and by any person or collection of persons is one of the most important investments that can be made. There is a theory that those who own the land will own those who live on it and till it. There is a great deal of truth in the saying. It is the question of ownership of land or working for others who do own it that has provoked more strife than any other, as ownership of land and taxing of it are among the most important and touchy of the relations of the citizen and the ruling power in the State or Nation. Taxation falls in large measure upon land values. Those who pay rental for housing and those who rent acreage for tillage, or work for wages as farm help, pay the taxes levied on the property in the last analysis.
Unless land is used for housing or tillage purposes it has but little taxable or sale value. If it remains unsettled and untilled long enough it will eat itself up by the small taxation placed upon it as a matter of course. There is much vacant land everywhere, although there are always plenty of people who need the use of it. The rich withhold much valuable land from use for one purpose and another, and this is regarded as bad by those who need the land. The abuse is not so common in the United States as it is in Europe.
Rev. R. Daley Sibbils, rector of St. James African Orthodox Church, at Antilla, Oriente, Cuba has sent The Negro World the following communication, which/we regard as of great moment; he says:
Sir—While I view with great interest the progress of the Black Cross Navigation Steamship Company of the U. N. I. A., I beg to state that as I travel through this island of Cuba I have seen vast tracts of land uncultivated, which, I think, would be worth while for the U. N. I. A., with/so many branch societies in this island, might do well, should steps be taken to acquire and couple with the navigation business. I consider this will be a great boon to our association. If my suggestion is accepted and I am permitted to use my little influence to foster such a scheme, I will make the necessary inquiry to acquire such lands, so that our ship or ships may find much to do between this island and the United States.
The suggestion is a very good and timely one, but it should be taken up and considered by the members of the locals in Cuba. It would be the proper thing for the members of any given Local to build up a fund for the purchase of available land, to be sold or rented to members, for homes or cultivation; any number of locals could join in such a joint movement. A building and loan fund could be created by slow degrees which would make the undertaking possible. Ownership of homes and lands for cultivation is one of the solutions of labor troubles, small wages and rough treatment about which we hear so much from members in Cuba.

LET'S PUT IT OVER
WHAT NEGRO REPUBLICANS EXPECT FROM THE SWEEPING VICTORY
WE have always believed that those who help make a party and help to win party victories should share in the honors and emoluments of victory. In the old days before President Roosevelt succeeded President McKinley in the White House Negro Republicans had some considerable representation in the foreign and domestic service, where from President Grant to President Cleveland they had had a very great deal of representation. Gradually we had fallen out of favor in Republican politics; so that when President Coolidge succeeded President Harding we were practically dead in the foreign and domestic service, as far as partisan appointments are concerned, and if we could not have got into the public service through the civil service competitive examinations, we should have had a very negligible representation in the public service. We should have been on the outside.
Mr. William C. Matthews, who had charge of race interests on the Republican side during the late elections, in addressing his staff of workers who helped to give the Republican party its sweeping and impressive victory, outlined what he and his associates believe the Negro race is entitled to as partisans. He makes some seventeen specifications, comprehending representation in the foreign and domestic service and remedial regulation for which the race has been clamoring for for years, and for which the Negro press has been contending for many years, and upon the negation of which by the Republican managers the Negro vote was split in the late elections as never before in the history of the race.
Mr. Matthews knows what the race wants as Republican partisans and he evidently believes that he was asked to help win the Republican victory with the implied understanding that the party would remove the just causes of grievances which have grown up in the party to the prejudice of the best interests of race partisans. He has the courage of his convictions and has put in black and white what the race expects of the Republican party, and what he and his associates in the working force of the Republican party will contend for, leaving it to the Republican Administration to accept or reject it as the case may be. It is quite refreshing to have the race's grievances stated by one with authority to speak, and who has the ear of the President and the responsible managers of the Republican party.

Agitation is the breath of social, civil and economic justice. Those who know their rights in these vital matters and stand up manfully for them, have their own respect, which is a very great consideration, and the respect of the rest of mankind. Mr. Matthews has done a fine piece of work in helping the Republican party to win with the assistance of the race vote and in stating candidly what he expects for the race as partisans from the successful Republican party.
NATIVE AFRICANS PROTEST AGAINST MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE
THE following report of a public meeting in Cape Colony, South Africa, shows that the natives are very much aroused and outspoken against the growing tendency among the white rulers to abuse the natives and be whitewashed for so doing by the white courts. The report reads:
"A large gathering of natives of the Cape called on Sunday under the auspices of the Industrial and Commercial Workers' Union, held at Ndabeni on the Public School Square, carried unanimously the following resolutions:
"(a) That this meeting of natives of the Cape views with great alarm and deprecates the sentence given by Mr. Justice van Pittius to the Dutch farmer who recently [deleted] a native girl. The meeting is of opinion that while there seems to be no amelioration of miscarriage of the law in the Courts of Justice in cases in which white and black are involved, the time has arrived that the jury system be abolished and substituted by either: (a) The appointment of assessors; or (b) inclusion of black juries in all cases in which white and black races are involved.

BY ARCHIE CASELY HAYFORD
To the late Mrs Kathleen Lismon artist, lecturer, process, educationist, daughter of Alfred, to mute art and love of country.
Didst put thee on a pilgrimage the light of fame.
Shining, might have gone yet clearer far.
Uncoupling dark dark daughters. All if thou war spared.
Lost to East Africa, lost to West.
And to thy face that so mourn loved thie.
Whose woman for to race thou didst endeavour, toil.
In the hope one day, like thie would take their place beside them men folk.
Was it in vain thou didst encompass for America.
Seeking to know our ancient African sisters of the West,
And wandering thits to show the light of knowledge that here doeth well.
Founding in the end at home a school of learning shall not fail thie.
Herri return to their daughters.
Further, the meeting wholeheartedly supports the argument advanced and the resolution introduced by Father Rand in the Synod on this question, and while it condemns the tone of the argument of the Dutch Reformed Church ministers on this question, it deplores the statement made by the Minister of Justice (Mr. Tielman Roos) on the Standerton case, whose viewpoint is to perpetuate the existence of a spirit of looking upon the white race with suspicion and racialism between white and black, which situation will ultimately lead to lawlessness and reprisals being committed, detrimental to the future of South Africa.
In the Negro World of last week we published a full account of the Standerton case, in which a native girl was abused and done to death by a young Dutch farmer, who got off with a six weeks' term of imprisonment. It was a miserable miscarriage of justice and has caused the natives to a sense of injury which they deeply feel and want.
These natives are also much worked up over the case of a young woman who went to Africa with the consent of her parents in the intention of marrying an educated East Indian doctor, but

We have the votes and the law sufficient to get those things which we have been accusing party leaders of denying to the race. Chicago has spoken in no uncertain terms. We, congratulate the black voters of the "Windy City" for this manifestation of race loyalty and, unity. As the city of Chicago goes, so will all large cities of the North go in the near future now that Chicago

The Tattler aims to break the solid South because it is a maze to the peace of the Nation; and, in doing that it will continue to do what it can to break the solid Afro-American vote more completely than it was broken in the late election.

HEALTH TOPICS
By DR. B. S. HERBEN
Of the New York Tuberculosis Ass'
Does Thinking Make It So?
What is the old saying about there being 'no good or evil, but thinking makes it so?'
A great many people believe or fear that certain diseases are brought about by worrying over the particular disease in question. They have believed that if a person in the family has tuberculosis, or cancer, kidney disease or diabetes, it is possible, or even probable, that they, too, shall succumb to the same illness. They are disturbed by that thought and the more they hold it in their minds the more certain they become that they are showing symptoms. Imagination at last has its way and an anxiety which amounts to an obsession has a firm hold upon these individuals. "Not strangely enough," but quite. Fogically they begin to show signs of falling health and in some instances do succumb to the very disease which they have so long feared.
Now, fear or worry, which is a manifestation of fear, did not cause, the disease, if disease there is. The cause is to be found in the infective agent, such as the tubercle bacillus in tuberculosis, or in the presence of cancer cells in cancer. These were present before worrying began. The tubercle bacillus may or may not have been acquired from the relative who has been the "horrible example". Worry did not and cannot cause these diseases. If the germs or the cancer cell had not been present all the worry in the world could not have caused the disease. On the other hand, worry plays an important indirect part in the causation of illness. If there is a disease focus present in the body it may be lit up by certain conditions or factors of which anxiety is one.
Fear is manifested by worry will cause loss of appetite, loss of sleep, unhappiness and other conditions which have influence upon digestion and the other bodily functions. It is one of the duties of a correctly functioning body to heal lesions (disease done by disease) which we breathe in or take with food; in short, constantly to assert superiority over any menace which may be present and by so doing keep the body in health. If the normal, healthy functioning of the body forces is prevented by inadequate food supply, such as is the outcome of a loss of appetite, if there is overfatigue caused by loss of sleep or overwork; if there is indigestion and these other abnormal conditions present, resistance is lowered, superiority over the enemies which assail us daily is lost and ill health is the result, or, as we may, the disease begins to "get hold of us."
If you have not an actual disease all the thinking you do cannot cause it. If you have a disease latent within you worry may no undermine your health that the "wet spot," the hidden fire, may harm up. At any time worry is unhealthful.
The World Recognizing the Negro as a Coming Force to Be Reckoned With—The Day of Triumph Is Not Far Off—Membership Is Complimented for Having Made U. N. I. A. Greatest Negro Institution in the World—Enthusiasm Is Buoyant in All Parts of the World
LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday Night, November 16. Tonight, though cold and very windy, found Liberty Hall with a capacity audience, who braved the elements rather than miss the inspiration that can only be received at the meetings of the Universal Negro Improvement Association—an inspiration that makes buoyant the hopes of the Negro for a better day and points him to his place in the sun, when through the compelling force and influence of the association—which is increasing day by day—he shall again come into his own when Africa is redeemed and the race be given a status of recognition among the nations of the world.
The other speakers were Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis and Hon. F. Louis Lord, the text of whose addresses is given below;
LADY DAVIS SPEAKS
LADY DAVIS SPEAKS
Lady Humbertia Vinton Davis was the first speaker and said: "Cheer up comrades, we are marching; marching towards the great goal of African Redemption; we shall never falter, we shall never fail until that great object is accomplished." All over the world the Negro is looking towards that great continent; looking towards it not only for the possession of its riches, looking towards it because we are longing for freedom everywhere. In the islands of the sea, in the United States of America, in Central and South America, in Africa itself the Negro is praying and working towards that great end; because a little over six years ago there came a man clearing the way for Negroes. Some who started with him have fallen by the wayside; others have proven untrue to their oath and to their race, but there are some of us left, thank God, who are loyal to the trust that has
YOUNG BLOOD
"I am near sixty years, but I feel as young as I did at thirty. I take a cupful of Bulgarian Tea once or twice a week. It keeps me healthy and strong and makes me feel young again." said H. H. Von Schifck, manufacturer of Bulgarian Herb Tea. If you are tired, weak, nervous with no appetite or lack the energy and vigor to perform your work—don't wait another day.
Go to your druggist and ask for Bulgarian Herb Tea in the red and yellow box. Sold in two sizes, 75c and $1.25.
In case your druggist cannot supply you with the genuine Bulgarian Herb Tea that will improve your blood. I will give you a large box of blood paid for $1.25. Address me, H. H. Von Schleck. Dept. 5, Marvel Bldg., Pittsburgh, Pa.

been placed in us, we are working towards an opportunity that a race bus was wanted for for thousands of years. Shall we give up because of a few disregardment? (Voices: No!) No, a thousand times no. Shall we give up because some are unfailful and disloyal? No, a thousand times no. The echo comes from everywhere from Santo Domingo, from the island of Hayti, from Jamaica, from Cuba, from all the Windward and the Leeward Islands that we shall not father and we shall not fail.
This week is education week and I am beginning that those of our race who are here in New York should take advantage of the opportunities that this week affords by lectures in most of the school houses given by noted professors, and if any race ever needed education it is our race; if any race ever needed to take advantage of all opportunities offered for education, it is our race; because we are bound to play a great part in the drama of life in, the future and we must fit ourselves for that part. The eyes of the world are focused particularly upon the Universal Negro Improvement Association. They are watching our every movement, and let our people not disappoint the 400,000 our Negroes who are looking toward this great organization to give a greater freedom, a larger liberty and more educated members of our race. Let us go forward valiantly, believing, as we do, that this great ship of ours that will set forth on its voyage on the 11th day of January shall carry news and joyful tidings to the islands of the West Indies and the countries of Central and South America. And after we have made that great voyage then we shall cross the mighty Atlantic Ocean bound for the golden shores of Africa. (Applause.)
So my friend, let us put our our shoulders to the wheel; let us stand firmly by this steamship corporation of the 'Black Cross Navigation and Trading Co.; put our last dollar in it if necessary that it may set sail on the 11th day of January free of debt; that we shall waive the hammer of the Red, the Black and the Green and victoriously shout Hallelujah, hallelujah it is done; we have disappointed those of our chemies who have predicted failure for us. We, snail disappoint those who are weak-kneed and have no faith in our program. But the Negro race is a mighty race; the strength of this race is not known
pet and it will not be known until
they have planted our first when the
april of Africa, and displayed so the
world that a nation has been born in
a day. (Applause.)
NON. F. LEVI LORD SPEAKS
NON. F. LEVI LORD SPEAKS
Hon. Levi Lord was the next
spokener. We are assembled here, he
said, because of the fact that we are
here for a very serious purpose. We
are here not as members of a local
or a national organization but as mem-
bers of an organization universal in
scope, an organization branches of
which will be found in the United
States, in the West Indies, South and
Central America, in Canada, in
Europe, in Africa and even in Aua-
tria where Negroes are supposed to
be excluded.
There is no reason in the world why every Negro should not be a member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. This organization in his conception is so large that you cannot get under it, neither can you go above it nor can you get behind it so the only thing that is left for us to do is to get inside of it. Because of the great purpose and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association it has attracted the millions of persons who now comprise its membership; they have been attracted to such an extent that they have dedicated their very lives to the cause of the Association; if it goes up we are willing to go up with it and if it goes down we are willing to go down with it. But it is impossible, said the nephew for the U.S.A., to go down because it has passed beyond the boundaries of the physical; it has now become a spiritual force and anything that has in it any kind of spirit is unlikely to go down. We are led by a spiritual force; God is directing the leader of this movement to lead it on to success and to victory and no opposing forces can prevail against it. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has fought us; many other national organizations have fought us; many of the newspapers have taken the wrong attitude towards the organization and have made headlines capitalized of what they considered...to be our failures; yet the Universal Negro Improvement Association goes merrily on.
It was conspicuous, said Mr. Lord, that the newspaper's who criticised the Universal Negro Improvement Association never made any headlines of the accomplishments of the organization, such for example as the payment of $75,000 on the ship which it recently acquired. They were careful, however, to feature the failure of the Black Star Line, which though a financial failure was a moral victory. We have started another attempt and it is our purpose in this new attempt to succeed and the way to succeed is to remove all the obstacles that make for failure out of the way.
HONORABLE MARCUS GARVEY'S
SPEECH
Honorable Marvis Garvey spoke in follows: My subject for tonight is "The Silent Work That Must Be done." We are in the seventh year of the international activities of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We have practically reached the first period in our organization history, and we are now about to launch out into the activities of the second period. That is why I selected the subject tonight, "The Silent Work That Must Be done."
The U. N. I. A. and its Leadership
Those who lead whether they be
generals in the army or statemen
in the commonwealth, or contains of
industry—must have a program. That
program must be carefully, monitiously
and properly arranged before it is
presented to those who are to be led.
As with all great world forces and
movements, so also with the Universal
Negro Improvement Association. We
who lead the Universal Negro
Improvement Association, because of the
sacred duty at hand, do not do so
recklessly without reason and without
rhyme, but we do it according to our
best calculation of time, of effect and
result, and so we gradually marched
through the conflict for nearly seven
seven years and have practically reached
end of the first period of our organization
life as I said, and are getting
ready now to start off with the same
zest with the same zeal—with the
same determination—for the second
period, only in a different way.
Those who are observant must have noticed that the Universal Negro Improvement Association within the last twelve to eighteen months has gradually been changing its attitude and its aspect. We have had to do so because of the soleness of our intelligence, and because of the character of the time in which we live.
The leader who is not able to measure time, the leader who is not able to calculate results from conditions and environments, leads but to doom and destruction. But he who is able to take advantage of every environment as it presents itself, and every advantage as it presents itself, and every age, as it grows older is the leader who will ultimately carry that we who lead the Universal Negro Improvement Association are ever mindful which he leads to the point of safety and desired by the multitude. And so ful of our duty.
One man asked me some time, I believe, around the second of November, when I was speaking in support of certain candidates for election in the national election, why it was I did not speak, and advise Negroes then as I did when I started the movement. The poor man who asked me that question did so, no doubt, from an honest deagle to know the reason. On the other hand, he might have been a
only who was endeavoring to be present me because my attitude and my mood were somewhat different from the attitude and speech in 1917 or 1916 or 1918. My answer to him was an answer that everybody in Liberty Hall should know, an answer that all the Negroes of this country should know, an answer that all the Negroes of the world should know—1914 and 1919 up to 1922 presented the one glorious time and opportunity for the Negro to speak out and be heard, when the world was in labor and the minds of men were disturbed over the world. The leader who essayed to lead the people of this race in 1914 and could not measure time, even as it approaches now, and not even change and adapt his program to the age and condition in a leader either of unquiet mind or of speculative purpose whom to follow would mean destruction. Look at the world, look at yourselves, at your condition, and see the difference between them now and in the years 1914, 1915, 1916, 1917, 1918, up to 1922. You will find that you are living today in a world that has practically returned to its normal attitude, to its normality of mind, which gives it an opportunity to hear, to study and to act.
Negroes Had to Be Aroused
Unfortunately when we spoke out in 1911, 1915, 1916, 1917 and 1918, up to 1922, coming right to the Negroes of the world in the barstest language possible, in a most uncompromising tone, for the specific purpose of getting the Negroes who were intended to be awakened and be aroused and understand, unfortunately all of them could not hear, and all of them did not hear. They called us radical during that period. We had to be radical; we had to adopt a policy of aggression during that period, because the period was ripe for disturbing Negroes' minds to call the possibilities of his future one way or the other. We did everything that was humanly possible to arouse consciousness in sleeping Negroes all over this country, all over the West Indies, and all over the world. During that period we prophesied what would happen a few years after the war; we told of great economic, industrial and commercial changes that would come about to affect the economic life of the Negro, and warned them during that period. It was all done without a hope or desire that such large numbers of the race would be stirred to activity, the action, as to render them able to prepare for the normal period that would return, that period when the great world that governs, the great world that rules weaker peoples and races would return to their pre-war attitude of suppression, of exploitation of raping and of murder; but, unfortunately, only a few of the many millions heard. The few tried to do their best, are God knows and you all know we did. We made every effort through the Universal Negro Improvement Association to open the way, but, unfortunately, the sleeping masses around us could not understand, could not hear, and standing in the way as they did, they preempted the realization of the great object that we had in so easily disturbing the minds of the people during the time that the world was in an uprise. You ask me, therefore, as the man did, why do you not speak now as you spoke then? How could I afford to do it with good judgment? We have lagged behind until the world has returned to normal, when the world's mind is no longer a slave, and when the world's mind is so silent, and when the world does not hear the echo, but hear every word uttered.
Organization Still Intact
The Universal Negro Improvement Association, fortunately, new elders, has in the seven years been able to bring together an organization that is still intact, that is still determined to fulfill its purpose and carry out its object; but we are living in a period now when the object and the purpose must be realized, not as we did seven years ago, but through silence and proper organization; and that is the new program that we have to present to you in 1925.
It is a program, nevertheless, not new to the world. It is a program that is as old as organized group of humanity; it is a program that has other great races have followed, taking advantage of the same opportunities, problems and chances as we took during the abnormal period through which the world passed and the revolutionary period with which we now experiment in 1921 and will continue to experience until the world is rapidly disturbed again. It was through taking advantage of the same abnormal period that the Jew was able to free himself, to a great extent in Russia and Eastern Europe. It was not during the quiet moments, it was not during the undisturbed hours, that the Jews won their peace in Russia; it was during the period when Russia was disturbed, when Russia had become excited and wounded, that the Jews seized the opportunity to destroy the powers that destroyed them, the powers that murdered them, and ultimately won out in the practice of a new life in Russia and Eastern Europe that they could not have won for themselves during the period of normality. The Russian peasants could not have won out in the revolution if the revolution was started in 1924 and not 1917. They were able to take advantage of the unsettled condition of their country and the unsettled condition of the world to seize all that they desired by way of freedom, by way of larger liberty. It was the same impulse that drove the Universal Negro Improvement Association to a radical program

between 1917 and 1923; but now, as I said, the world has returned to normal, what must we do? We must do during this new period of seven years that we are going to face, as the Jews have done, as all other people who have passed through the same disadvantages have done. Today the Jew is working out a wonderful program throughout the world. It is not a program of noise; it is a program of quiet and peaceful penetration that has put the Jew in the foremost rank of commerce and industry and make of him today one of the great powers of the world. It is the same period that we must now face with silent word and silent labor to put over the gigantic and tremendous program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association which we radically introduced during the periods of 1914 up to 1922.
We did our great wonderful thing at the convention that up to now provided some of the abilities in real life, when we organized that new society which some of you may remember and some may not. After a long and tremendous discussion coming to the close of the convention we took the sober step that is going to really lead and pioneer the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the next seven years. During the abnormal period we were able to arouse the whole world; we were able to stir the whole continent of North America, we were able to stir the entire West Indian Arthropods; we were able to stir the entire continent of Africa and the future affects are being felt now.
The Strongest Hour
Many things I cannot tell you from the plATFORM of Liberty Hall, because I say we are passed the first period where we could talk and tell everything, but we are now face to face with the next seven years, the next period of quiet and peaceful penetration, carrying the doctrine, carrying the colors, carrying the principles where you least expect. How many of you knew that during the time you met in New York in August that we had conventions as big as the one we held here being held in other parts of the world with great effect, the results of which are being felt today all over the world. Did I am that we were able during that period of the world to have built up a great new institution that we could quietly use and not in the way that we had to do when we were trying to make it, and tonight I want to say to you of Liberty Hall and to the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association all over the world that we are now face to face with the strongest hour in the history of the movement. You will see here and hear more other than what we are to you for you to realize the tremendous power of this great institution.
Those of you who were willing to make the sacrifices were willing to stick to your posts of effort to carry this movement to win it, to have ahead of above the state or ordinary organization in the realm of a great institution, whose power can be as solidly held, even as a war in a country from the top in 1855 will be the great changes in the life of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
Readjusting Ourselves:
We are now just in preparation we will to the new work that is scheduled of us. Let the historian write let the student get to work, let the philosophers take their position, and you will find that in the last seven years we have given out enough by which could be written the great policies, the most principles that shall ever lead this great organization. We have not to say much more now; we have said everything already to give to this organization a policy and a principle. What I know by that I mean that in just past three years all of the people and the Man Jesus, who we arrived to the city of Cilivaca, added to what I know. He had it hard enough to build here, and dedicated a policy and a principle of our town even for two thousand years, and so in the making of the Universal Negro Improvement Association we have said enough, and we have done enough for us to quietly write a policy and a principle that will shake the foundation of the world by silent and secret propaganda, not even uttering a word from the housestop as we did before. We are going to call for men of service, we are going to call for men of character that are to make the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Remember what I have said to you—The Universal Negro Improvement Association has passed its first period, has passed out of the propaganda and organizing period when this organization is known as a great institution. All the powers and the forces of this movement are going to be felt quietly and secretly, not only in New York, not only in America, but in the four corners of the world, and will continue so until Africa is redeemed. (Applause.)
Little did you know what making a noise does, but we have bad to do it. Little do you know what idiosyncrasies does, but sometimes we have had to tolerate it. Let me tell you something.
Take our Liberian program, for instance. The night that we sat here and sent off the exports to Liberia I knew that would have been the cause of great trouble and danger. The whole world was interested. We nevertheless, had reached the point where we had to make a demonstration, because to organize. Negroes we have got to demonstrate; you cannot tell them anything; you have got to show them; and that is why we have got to spend seven years making noise. We had to make noise; we had to beat the drum; we had to do all we did; otherwise there would have been no organization. But I am glad that you have paid the price of your own ignorance, and that your yourself realized it. We have had to make you pay the price and then make you realize the danger that you have done to yourselves before we could get you in a mood to do what is right; otherwise it could not be done. "Do you know what really handpicked the whatch thing?" When we were sending away nine men the New York World sent up a white reporter and that white reporter, true to the instructions, came up on the office and did not want even a word from any of the responsible officers of the organization. He went all around trying to get all kinds of information, and some fellow who has more "gab" than judgment - I believe he is a member of the Royal Guard - told him about these troops and what the Royal Guards were going to do. When he was ready to report it, he reported only that part that the enemies wanted to defeat the whole program that we were endeavouring just at that time to put over, and gave us the enemies the very argument that they wanted. The next morning I said that to the engineer; he said nobody would pay at enron to that; I said, "You don't think they would; that is the very thing they were looking for." The next morning the New York World came out that we were sending the enclosures of an army, the Royal Guard was to be the shock troops. From what this member of the Legion told the reporter he made up the story out of what he said, and it was not twelve hours before what was related by this man had distributed the chancellors of England and France, and they had the wars working, so that before our men even said they had forced an attitude in Africa that would have presented them from leading.
A Compliment To The Members
I am glad that we have been able to convert in the first period so many millions of men and women and children whose hearts and minds still are unchanneled. The compliment is to yourself for having stuck by an organization of this character until you have made of it the great organization and the greatest Negro institution in the world. Your power, being, felt today more than ever. The power of the Negro is being felt today because the world recognizes you as a coming force to be reckoned with, said I feel sure that if you stand firmly by the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement
Association the day of triumph is not far off. We have done well; we have carried the colors nobly and gallantly by day and by night until the Universal Negro Improvement Association is recognized the world over today as the mighty moving force of four hundred million men, women and children. What in the world is to discourage us but death, and there is no death where there is determination to live.

and members of long ago, when they were boundless in slavery who, then hands and endured down in prison. God somewhere in the mid-south, held their great and began to commit their program. We began to get into the hearts of men, clashing them out to the over the world, as leaders of the black man of ours. Some of these wise doctors, some wise lawyers, some wise teachers, some wise philosophers, some of them were men of industry, but greatest of all. We sent out men of preach the gospel to all men. We find in this movement the greatest knuckles are the highly educated men and preachers of the gospel. Many of them have sold our race to the white race for a little, small price. But God helps the man that goes forth and speaks the truth in behalf of the people. We, who were born in the depths of the South, know some of the burdens of slavery, especially those who had to go by the calling of the white man. I do not call a man free who has to go out and labor by the will of the white race. Many of us have chopped cotton and hoed corn, dug ditches and cut highways and hedges for the upbuilding of the white race. And today we have no thanks. We are Jim-crowed on every hand; discrimination is rising on every side, but I say to the Universal Negro Improvement Association, be not discouraged; we are crying throughout the world. "Give us liberty or give us death." I say to the leaders of the Universal Negro Improvement Association be leaders indeed, leaders that this black race of ours should not be ashamed of.
We all should be rejoicing out of the fullness of our heart. Prayers that were prayed fifty-odd years ago went to and fro over the world and over the mighty deep until it reached the British Isles, touched the heart of this excellent Hop-Maroon Garvey—a man that God declared would come out of Egypt to lead this race of people back to their motherland—Africa.

I am coming to give to help him your support and financial support.
I have to be the young man, in full of ambition, strong in wisdom, and to the old man, he will be faithful to you. I myself as a servant and co-warrior for the film, Chimchom, have co-written and begun to a wonderful drama in East London. We are serving to help others that are weak. We are asking to the whole to put on the whole armor of faith to help us to establish a nation of our own. Let us go out and be agents for this movement and demonstrate this work unto all.
One advantage of co-operatives in the Negro's business development is the fact that through them he becomes a producer while retaining his character of consumer. Every Negro family makes daily purchases at grocery stores. In most cases these stores are owned by whites. Even in cities where segregation is most effectively carried out, colored neighborhoods are honeycombed with white stores. We cannot go into the cause of this phenomenon, except to give the oft-stated reason that capital is lacking. Here is one field where co-operatives could function effectively, for the demand is ever present.
Another advantage of co-operatives would be a general education in business ideas and methods. The large body of co-operative consumers would become interested participants in business activities, which would have a real meaning for them because they would be reflected in the number and amount of their purchases and in their annual surpluses. At the present time business methods, and especially the less apparent aspects of economic principles, are mysterious processes to most colored people. Besides affording an education, in economic processes for the consumers, co-operatives would give an education in business to those directly engaged in their management.-E. Franklin Frazier in the Southern Workman.
New Orleans' Segregation Laws Unconstitutional
By The A. P. A. Service
NEW ORLEANS.-The city ordinance prohibiting Negroes from moving into white residential districts, or vice versa, was declared unconstitutional in civil district court by Judge Case. It was said a similar charge of unconstitutionality would be brought against State laws covering the same ground.
"Race prejudice in Louisiana is as concrete a fact as caste is in India," said Judge Case. "This is a fact, not a theory."
The judge added while he believed communities should have the right to regulate such questions he was forced to hold the ordinance unconstitutional in view of a Supreme Court decision on a similar question from Kentucky.

IN AFRICA ARE NOT WHITE
Came from Denmark and

Resemble Some People of
Caps of Good Hope and
Are Free
These apprehensions in your edition on August 16, 1914, an article relative to the white people who, it is alleged, are living at Molopoleole, in Bechuanaural, and treated as slaves by the natives. I, as a native of south Africa and residing in that vicinity, do emphatically deny the allegation. The only people who how live with the natives in that district are the colored people who in every respect resemble those of the Cape of Good Hope. They are at Chief Sobole's, referred to in the article. The Dutch people call them half-neckies, and why they are so called I cannot tell. I remember very well the time when they first came to Bechuanaural. It was during the last great war, when they took flight from Damaraland into Bechuanaural, where they have been ever since. They undertook a perilous exodus through the waterless Khalaharl desert, and all their animals died of thirst; even the people themselves nearly all perished. I interviewed them personally and I learned from them that to ward off the thirst they were obliged to kill their goats and sheep to drink their blood.
At last they came to a peaceful country ruled by Chief Sebele II, the father of the present Chief Sebele. Here they were given a friendly reception, and are still enjoying liberty up to this day. They are not slaves, as falsely stated, but they are free and happy; oppression has become an unknown thing to them. Most of them are pursuing their own trades. Some of them are blacksmiths and some are transport riders between Molopoleo and Scrove. They are given every facility to plough but, unfortunately, they are not acquainted with agriculture. As regards hunting, no one prevents them from doing so; even the bushmen are given that concession.
In conclusion, sir, I must point out that every fugitive in the native territory feels quite at home. The African chief likes to see strangers well treated and well fed. It doesn't matter whether he's white or yellow; he must be cared for.
I am, yours faithfully,
K. K. PILANE.

that he must have a strain of Moorish load in his veins, It must
be remembered that the Moors of Northern rica conquered and

tis well known that ‘The Negro World is upposed to the general
principle of imixed marriages between whites and blacks. ‘The
gethering of tribesinen of Sunth Africa very recently pronounced
against it having been no gooil fur whites or blacks. As we well
know the whites have badly corrupted the purity of Negro blood in
the United States and the West: Indies by enfarced association with
black women so that in the United States a large number af people
fire very largely mixed in their race crossings. Ht is natural that
Iatge number of these people should be s white as to be undistin-
Suishable from white people and that many of them should prefer
to be known as white rather than colored. When they intermarry,

Young Rhinclander is to he commended for marfying the young

women in the Southern States of the United States, In the long run
it would have been better for him to have masried in. his own’ social

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 1834 the greatest of all our world conventions. This year the organization is to discuss at its convention all those vital problems that effect 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 138th Street, New York, U. S. A. All donations are acknowled- World weekly.

Why Sissle and Blake Excel in Race Comedy
There are a good many reasons why the Sissie and Blake "The Chocolate Dandies" at the Colonial Theatre, at Sixty-second Street, New York City, justly ranks among the big musical comedy successes on Broadway. Productions like this, in the first place, are the nearest thing to the old-time colorful entertainment, the typical Southern comedy, and Dixie song and dance, once largely confined to minstrel shows, are the mainstay of presentations, like "The Chocolate Dandies." The popular liking for this sort of diversion seems to be as keen as ever.
The Southern Negro introduced jazz song and dance and has played a prominent part in the development of this, typical American style of music. Naturally, jazz is a striking feature of "The Chocolate Dandies," with Eufdo Blake, who composed the music, directing the big symphony orchestra, and Noble Sissle, the other star, jazzing through songs and dances with a gusto no blackface star can match.

Our Stampede Bishops Do

and Nurtivate Denied Promotion
BEAOONSFIELD, S. A. Aug. 18. Allow me space in your valuable paper to enlighten your readers on a paragraph in your leading article, entitled: "An Educated African Ministry Needed." As a responsible minister of the African church, which was formed in 1883, in the Transvaal, and sanctioned by the late president, P. S. Kruger, of the Defunct Republic, Old Joseph Kanyane Napo, an old Bapedi, through the ill-treatment meted out to him in the Anglican Episcopal Church, and trying to get redress, was forced to leave the church, but baving its liturgy, formed the African church.
First, I must congratulate you on the hold The Negro World has taken on the people of South Africa. In all the districts I have gone I have found a copy of The Negro World, although it costs five pence here, yet it is more popular than the native paper retailed at 3 pence. I wish your endeavors every success, and may God's blessing be upon it...
Returning to the subject, an educated African ministry; we who are in Africa speak not from a prejudiced mind, but from facts. When Bishop Vernon came to South Africa, we heard a lot about his ability, his education, etc. He was fetted and speeches of welcome were made and replied to. When we looked for some practical work we heard that Bishop Vernon was off to America; reason health. When he came again it was just time for the annual conference. Then we heard that Bishop Vernon was not coming out again; after he left for America.
In the two last general conferences a resolution was presented, praying that Dr. Gow, the Superintendent-General, be consecrated Bishop of the A. M. E. Church, in the Union. The plea is and rightly so, that the work suffers when the executive head is continually absent. A new man is sent here; he is scarcely in this country twelve months, when off to America he goes, back again for the annual conference. As soon as that is over back he rushes for America. Unless a bishop is made to remain in Africa for the whole four years, he is useless here, because we outsiders who are looking on criticize the whole procedure, and rightly say, "what is the good of continually sending out new bishops when most of the time they age on the water?" They are worse than swallows. If it were not for the efficient presiding elders obtained here, although the majority of them hold no university degree, headed by Dr. Gow, the A. M. E. Church would have been dead long ago.
Then, again, I would ask myself why so many young men who gain their teacher's certificate from the government inspectors do not join the ministry? The reply is, every young man is ambitions, and he finds that there is no outlet for his ambition. A man who knows nothing of the temperament or ways of the people is sent here, and he does not even enter the fringe of the work when he is changed. Simply because he is not an American he cannot become a bishop. If the bishop is absent continually, who is to see and recommend any progressive man for that position?
Then, again, the Union of South Africa is so vast that six districts could be made out of it. The Anglican Episcopal Church has made ten dioceses, or districts, and yet the A. M. Church only sends one bishop. I think, and am justified in saying, that it speaks well for the faithfulness and efficiency of those presiding elders in the field, although they have no university education. I am afraid that unless some change is made and a few assistant bishops are consecrated from amongst the African in the ministry, the work will suffer often. Ordination is delayed, which causes disappointments, and the enthusiasm lags. We hope that Bishop Gregg will outline a policy that will put new enthusiasm into the work, as Bishop Turner did, but unless some forward movement is made, we will look upon the A. M. E. Church as a class, or national church, as we already view the European churches, in which no African can reach the higher positions because he is not an American.
Our criticism is not out of plaque, but the warning of a friend, who, as we are also a black denomination, wishes to see the redemption of Africa. Our European brothers remark is, "what do you get, from America?" Scarcely a whole bishop, and most of the time he is absent? Thanking you in anticipation, believeme, sincerely.

Policemen Who Break The Law Too Numerous
From the Pittsburgh American there must be an unwritten law in the Public Safety Department of Pittsburgh which sanctions the shooting of Negroes. It is a common occurrence for an officer to shoot a colored man while making an arrest in the "hill district." As he告此 this week, Patrolman Edward Fallon shot Cecil Fisher, a colored man of Bedford avenue. It was alleged by the officer that Fisher started to fire after he had been put under arrest. It was further alleged that Fisher carried a satchel containing
A Colored Child Should Have a Colored Doll

IS YOU CHILD TO HAVE A COLORED DOLL OR IS IT TO HAVE A WHITE DOLL? There is a world of difference between them; one teaches Race Pride, Race Love, respect for one's self and for one's own kind. The other teaches your child that it is inferior and subservient. These dolls have a beautiful brown complexion, some walk and talk and cry; come as near to being unbreakable as it is possible for a doll to be; beautifully dressed, life-like face, real hair, shoes and stockings, moveable hands and feet.

As the season approaches here we are going a great step at the Lafayette Theatre this week, and are going to the feature and theatre show many Master classes the kind of occasion of pain, which is always pleasing. We now can forget the day when Billy was playing stock of the old Crosby in 1896 Strook. They were the good old days. We get a slight reflection of them whenever we see Billy, who is one of the Rans leading comedians. Supporting him in "Who Stole the Money" is Billy Elginna, another leading character, who is always keeping you laughing. If you have the "blower" and want a pure cure, I would advise that you take in the show at the Lafayette this week. Apart from all this you are presented with a first-run feature picture.
47 bottles of moonshine whiskey. With this exosive luggage as a handcock, the officer was unable to apprehend his prisoner without firing a shot which may prove fatal to the victim.
After all has been said to the contrary, it must be conceded that the most congested center of the "hill district," known as Fullerton and Wylie avenues, has a reputation for peace and order. It is a rare occasion when a Negro is arrested for a crime greater than a misdemeanor. Most of the offenders are arrested for drunkenness, vagrancy or petty larceny. Resisting arrest constitutes the exception rather than the rule. Why, then, should the colored people of this district be subjected to lawlessness on the part of officers whose excuse is that their actions are necessary in making arrest? The practice of officers shooting their prisoners to make an arrest has been long since outlawed. It is the duty of vigilant offenders to see that this practice remains outlawed. It would seem from recent shootings of this nature that nothing is done to the officer if the Negro recovers. If he dies, a coroner's jury exonerates the officer. Instances are rare indeed where an officer may shoot to make an arrest. He is justified in shooting in self-defense and to apprehend a felon. The law has such regard for the life of the alleged criminal and innocent pedestrian that any other rule would prove disastrous to the public whose interests must be served.
It seems that appealing to the authorities for protection from these fire-eating. Negro-hating defenders of the law falls on deaf ears. One other course remains. We suggest that the thousands of Negroes who vote in the city of Pittsburgh demand a Negro lieutenant to be stationed in the "hill district." On him will fall the responsibility for the conduct of all officers under him. The white lieutenant has outgrown his usefulness. His interest protects only the officers; the great Negro populace is made to suffer for his dereliction. An intelligent initiative to bring about this result will meet the hearty support of colored citizens throughout the city.

On October 25, 1924, the Puerto Cortes Division of the U. N. L. A. held a very successful variety entertainment at their local Liberty Hall. The hall was packed to its utmost capacity with members and friends. Mr. Owen F. A. Harrison, member of the parent body of New York, acted as chairman, and in his stirring address he expounded the aims and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. He spoke of One God! One Aim! One Dentily! And he presented it in such a forceful manner that we had the pleasure of enrolling several new members before the meeting was brought to a close.
The program was chosen to stimulate interest in Negro history, and the majority of selections were taken from the works of Laurence Dunbar, the celebrated Negro poet. Other Negroes whose names were brought prominently before the audience were those of the Horn. Marcus Garvey and Frederick Douglass. The program was so well rendered that the audience asked to have it repeated on the 8th of November. Mr. Thomas A. Ford, president of the division, and Mr. Ivan Gill, the second vice-president, did much to make this affair a success. The stage was beautifully decorated with flags, bunting, palms and suitable banners bearing inscriptions such as "God Bless Marcus Garvey, Our Leader," and another bearing "Universal Negro Improvement Association," artistically painted.
The program was as follows: Overture by the orchestra; opening address by Mr. Thoman Ford; recitation, "Ode to Ethiopia," by Miss Ellen Borrow; song, "Oh, What a Pal Was Mary," by N. E. Willis; recitation, "Beyond the Years," by Miss Edith Melja; sketch, "Wishing to Leave Home," with guitar accompaniment, by Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred Valpy and Mr. Cecil Carter; recitation, "The Slave's Dream," by Miss Evalina Bodden; cornet solo by Mr. James Melbn; recitation, "The Battle Hymn of Freedom," by Miss Rosalina Carr; selection by the orchestra; recitation, "Fred Douglas and Paul L.

TAMPA, FLORIDA
The Florida Division No. 90, of the U. N. I. A., although but daw in number, takes this means of letting the members and friends of this and other divisions know that they are still working hard to put the program of the U. N. I. A. over.
Mass meetings are held every Sunday evening, from 8:30 to 6 p.m. On Sunday evening last, Brother Robinson of New York, was a visitor to this division. He delivered a very interesting address.
NOTICE 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.
The Newport, News division of the U. N. I. A. hold a grand mass meeting on Sunday last. The meeting opened in the usual manner by the singing of the opening ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains," followed by prayer from the ritual. The first vice-president, Mr. S. A. Owen, presided. The object of the meeting was to raise money to enable the division to make a loan to the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, the desired amount to make it possible for the ship to sail on January 14, 1925.
The following program was rendered:
Address by the secretary of the division who stated we must do all that is in our power to support the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company and assist in purchasing ships and more ships for the race. Next was an address by Mr. N. C. Drew, a stanch member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. In the course of his address he said the reason that the so-called Anglo-Saxon race makes such progress is because they believe in themselves and claim that they are the greatest of all races. If the Negroes would live under the leadership of the Hon. Marcus Garvey the Negro race would be successful and second to none in the world. The first vice-president, Mr. S. A. Ovens, was the last speaker of the evening; he made an appeal to the members and friends to be loyal to the organization and support the cause. He also-in the course of the address explained the alms and objects of the U. N. I. A.
Elder C. W. Ballinger, from Dayton, Ohio, was a visitor. The meeting was brought to a close in the usual manner. Let every member of our race help in this fight by giving their moral and financial support. For remember, "united we stand, divided we fall." W. A. WALTER, Secretary.

The 7th, 8th and 9th of October, 1824, were gala nights for the Miranda Division, No. 608, of the U. N. I. A. The return of our delegate, Mr. R. H.

His address was very eloquently delivered. The meetings were always well attended. ELIAS WALLACE COX. Executive Secretary.
HIGH DUTY OF VOTING
"The colored citizens of this country must learn that, in order to reap the benefits to which their laborers in behalf of their country entitle them, it is necessary to recognize that such benefits come in a democracy only through the exercise of that civil duty to select proper representatives to govern the affairs of their every-day life," declared Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer, Howard University, Washington, D. C., in an address delivered Sunday, November 9, at the opening "Big Meeting" of the 135th street branch Y. M. C. A., New York city, Dr. Scott's subject was "Civil Duty and the Colored Citizen."
"We must more thoroughly understand measures and men and the machinery of government in its various phases if we are to select wisely. One great statesman of our country has said that there is enough law on the statute books of our country to safeguard every right and privilege of every citizen or this land without regard to race, creed, or color. It remains for the Negro through increased intelligence so to perform his civic duties and responsibilities under this government as to assure to himself every right accorded the most favored citizen.
"The selection of a President of our great republic is the expression of civic duty in its highest sense. In this great task, the colored citizen along with other citizens of the country took a rightful part.
"But, what of the colored citizen in the performance of civic duty in the selection of thousands of other important officials who are needed to govern in a democracy? Without fear of contradiction, one might say that even here in this audience this afternoon may be fount persons who cannot say that they are conscientiously and fully living up to their civic duty in the matter of participating in the selection of the persons who shall govern the affairs of their community, not to speak of those of county, state and nation. We know too well the tendency, not only among colored citizens, but among all citizens of our country, lightly to regard their civic duty and responsibility in seeing that proper officials are selected to preserve their liberties and to assure progressive development of the common weal.
"I must seek to confine my remarks primarily to a discussion of 'Clivie Duty and the Colored Citizen.' A few questions will serve to illustrate the importance of my subject. How many colored citizens in this country, disregarding the condition, in the South, are there who can say that they are meeting the responsibilities which living in a democracy imposes? Do they freely participate in the selection of those who govern the affairs affecting them in their everyday life?
"How many would you say actually took part in the recent National election? I wager that not more than fifteen per cent of those entitled and privileged to exercise the right of suffrage actually made use of this most sacred of all political rights. And why this state of affairs? Is it not because of ignorance of the civic duty and responsibility which citizenship in a democracy enjoins? I think it must be. That is why I want to urge as earnestly as I may that every one of us, here and now, pledge ourselves to instill into our children, the children of our neighbors, our friends, and all those who are part of the group to

which we belong, a higher ideal of their civic duty.
After calling attention to the many evils which vex the colored citizen of our country, Dr Scott said:
"Some of these evils I have mentioned which exist in our national life are most discouraging. I make bold to say, however, that the proper regard by the colored citizen of his civic duty and responsibility will alleviate, if not cure, most of these evils. The colored citizen of the republic must enter more actively into the everyday life of democratic government by acquiring adequate knowledge of the institutions under which he lives. By participation in the selection of those charged with the duty of safeguarding his peace and happiness, he can assure to himself the citizenship rights and privileges which have in so many instances been denied."
The Invitation which brought Dr. Scott to New York City was extended to him on behalf of the 133th Street Branch, Y. M. C. A., by Mr. Henry C. Parker, Mr. Parker also acted as master of ceremonies upon the occasion. Among others who assisted with special parts on the program were Dr. Richard Manuel Bolden as chairman of the Christian activities department, and Mth. Thomas E. Taylor, executive secretary, as leader of the devotional period. A splendid program of music was presented by a number of well-known artists.

Notre plan de redemption de l'Afrique ne se borne pas à la réalisation d'aspirations d'ordre purément politique; il en comprend aussi d'ordre industriel t commercial. Le not Afrique, employé par nous, doit s'entendre dans son acception le plus large. Quand nous disons Afrique, nous ne visons pas uniquement le continent d'ou il se trouve des fils et des filles de l'Ethiopie. C'est done vous dire que dans nos communautés et centres respectifs, nous avons beaucoup à faire pour l'avancement général de la race et pour le développement de l'Idée générale de l'autonomie africaine.
Nous devons faire tendre tous nos efforts à assurer le succès de l'entreprise de la Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. Nous devons préparer à lancer notre bateau et prendre des dispositions pour que le commerce maritime qui s'augure puisse se poursuivre sans obstacles et sans contrats. Is en coine quelques millions pour exploiter une ligne de navigation; mais les profits qui en découlent sont proportionnementen grands. Le public des consommateurs a donc un intérêt égal à celui des producteurs pour aider au développement des activités inaugurées par la Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company.
Le développement d'un commerce maritime, par les noirs, est appelé non-sculenement à faciliter les relations d'affaires entre les membres de la race; mais aussi à créer de nouveaux débouchés aux produits bruts on manufacturés de notre people; ce qui semit à l'avantage de la cause. Nous désirons, donez-vous que tout le monde y coopère. Il n'existe aucune raison que nous sachions pour qu'on y reste indifférent: bien au contraire; il suffit d'un peu de reflection pour qu'on se rend compte que ce n'est qu'assurant une certaine stabilite commerciale et industrielle qu'un peupe pourra atteindre à l'indépendance vraie et à la possession de soi.
Trop longtemps la race noire est restée dans un état de dependance complete par rapport à la race blanche; et cette attitude qu'elle a gardée explique la situation malheureuse et deplorable dans laquelle elle se trouve de par le monde. Du jour où, de par sa propre initiative et de par sa propre energie elle aurait ciablé les fondements d'une prosperité industrielle et commerciale sur laquelle elle puisse s'aunuer, de ce jour sera changée l'attitude que le monde a doptée a son endroit.
Cest done en vue de hater un meurl état de chose que travaille IU. N. I. A. Et c'est pour ces mêmes raisons que l'appel que nous lançons devrait pouvoir trouver un echo dans tous les coeurs dans les quels silent encore le monde fibre d'orgueil racial et le sentiment impérioux du devoir. Quelque soit nos talents et nos aspirations particuliers, nous devrons pouvoir trouver dans le programme de IU. N. I. A. une branche d'activités qui nous interesse; car les visés en sont targes et les objets nonbresux. Ils comprennent toutes les phases de notre existence raciale, nationale et internationale. En sorte que personne, de quelque partie du monde qu'on vienne, ne puisse tracer des daisons valables de se plaindre de ce mouvement. Ceux-la sculs qui sont traîtres à leur conscience et à leur race trouvent des raisons de critiquer ou de condamner l'oeuvre que poursuit cette organisation. Mais tous ceux en qui vit l'espoir du développement des noirs ne laissent pas que d'être persuadés que, sous, ce rapport, IU. N. I. A. répond au besoin universel de la race.
Nous marchons fermement vers la nouvelle année 1925 que nous attendons pour mettre en opération les activités industrielles qui doivent nous conduire à la réalisation des choses que nous désirons.
Tout membre loyal de l'UU. N. I. A. devrait un effort pratique pour que la tentative su un succès. Rien n'est aussi efficace que les efforts combinés. Ce que douze hommes ne peuvent faire, cent, mille, un million, quatre cent millions en peuvent venir à bout. Voilà pourquoi nous en appelons à la masse pour que de la fusion de toutes ces energies, de toutes ces capacités et resources unifiées nous pussions, dans un delai relatement court, édificie une situation maurcielle dont le noir sera fier.
Le champ d'action est vaste et il s'offre à tous. Il nous est ouvert autant qu'à la race blanche ou jaune. Celle-la meantt à profit l'occasion qui s'offrait à su crecer un milieu favorable à son bonheur. La race jaune, imitant celle-la, marche rapidement vers les sommets des réalisations humaines. Il est donc temps que le noir enboite le pas et c'est pour l'convier de l'UU. N. I. A. lance ce supreme appel.
L'existence humaine ne vaut que le prix que nous y mettons. En dehors des flicités de l'autre monde auxquelles tout bon chrétien aspire pour le jour au il-sera passe devie à trépas, rien ne vaut en attendant, les douceurs de l'existence terrestre. Puisque nous y commes pourquoi ne pas travailler à nous rendre plus douces les années qu'il nous faudra couler ici-bas? C'est le besoin inmerieurs d'un bonheur immédiat qui a porté la race blanche à s'y etabillar comme elle la fait. C'est encore le même sentiment qui, réveillant l'Asaitique de sa léthargie, le porte à sengager-dans la vie de une activité féconde. Mû par le même, mobile, le noir peut et doit travailler à se forger un avenir meilleur.
L'illusion de finalité est complete.
On dirait qu'au-delà de ces collines empourprées il n'y a que l'incomendurable espace, le vide d'un abime infini qui attend une proie à moins que ce ne soit une plaine invisible recécent que cité merveilleuse ou seront accteillis et consolés tous ceux que le long et pénible "Sentier" slassés.
Et ne voilà-t-il pas que la voix
glacia ou les sabots de nos chevaux ne trouvent pas de prier. D'innombra blocs de rochers; detachés des flaies de la montagne qui bord la roche glissent de ci, de li. Un précipice vertigineux s'étend a droite; et à gauche une montagne de pierre présente son flanc hostillement escarpé. Une matière grise, simulant le ciment, alterne avec les blocs. de pierre, comme si ce travail gigantesque avait été fait de main d'homme. Au haut de ce glacia, de belles plantes de "galatas" (genre d'aloës) éploient leurs fetuilles larges et charnues. Je me rappelle qu'un floriculture américain les avait designés dans un catalogue sous le nom de plantes centenaires, alléguant qu'elles ne fleurissent que tous les siecles. J'en avait ri alors; mais l'admettant pour le moment, je me dis que ces illières représentent les siecles que l'humanité franchit, etape par etape, en sa marche incluctable vers l'éternité.
Mais la nuit est tout a fait venue.
Par interyalle, tel un cri de douleur,
L'appel strident et sinistre de l'or-
fraie dechire le silence glacial de la
nuit. On a fain; on a froid; et, du
coté des femmes on a pour aussi,
N'arrivers-t-on janaiis? Ou donce
se trouve cette Frianon perfide qui
recule a mesure que nous avançons?
Ah! quelqu'un chante. Cette ame
impressionable et religieuse a encore trouve des accents inspirés pour
traduire les sentiments du moment.
Je ne sais pas le jour ou je cer-
ra... Mais je sais que ...
La lumière vaincre les ombres à
cette heure...
cette neure
Je ne sais quel sera le palais cernel
Mas je sais que mon une y sera
reconnue.....
Et, songeuse, je repense au tableau de pourpre, de rose, doré d'azur, et je me dis qu'ainsi, peu-etre, nous apparaît de loin, un jour, la vision de la Cité ceste.
Les dangers augmentent. Voici venir un troupeau de boeuf indoiles qu'excitem de la voix et du fouet d'indistinctes silhouettes humaines. Le troupeau réfractaire résiste pour dégringoler, tout à coup, dans un tohu-bohu évouvantable ces glacis, périlleux. Puis, on voit venir des paysannes, tout de blanc vêtues, qui glissent silencieusement, à votre recontre et quand elles vous ont jeté le bon soir, on se sent tout rasurée de leur découvrir une voix, tant on avait craint, dans sa poltronnerie de femme, que ce fut des fantonies.
Mais, tres fatigue, notre petite compagnie ne repond guère au salut de ces bonnes gens; alors l'ung d'elle opine "Sont-ce des zombis, donc qu'ils ne respondent pas au bon soit." Devinant sous cette critique adroite une peu parieille à la leur, les dames se font, des lors, le devoir de chantomer une salutation responsive.
Nous sommes au point le plus dangerux de la route et il fait mi-noire. Nous n'avions pas pensé à faire une provision de torches, bien qu'il y eut parmi nous des voyageurs experimentés. Un de ces messieurs allume par instant des alluminettes qu'il a trouvés sur sa personnes: mais cette leur timide et fugitive ne read que plus opaques. L'instant d'après les ténèbres dont nous sommes environnées. Il finit par le comproure et il desiste. Souvent ainsi dans la vie nous négligeons de faire provisions de flambeaux, à la Source de Lumière, et quand survivienent les moments d'épreuves nous feuillent à la hate les pages saercres; mais les lèurs isolées que nous recueillons ainsi, rendent parfois plus soubres nos perplexités et plus difficile notre orientation.
Enfin, nous arrivons à Trianon,
le lendemain, à sept heures du matin,
on remettait "les centres à la cendres."
Pur un beau lever de soleil, contemplant la beauté calme et majestueuse de l'endroit; humant laair飞, et par, et parfumé de son atmosphère incomparable. L'on s'avoitait que la séduisante rétraite qu'est Trianon vaut bien qu'on gravisse pour elle, la route longue et penible qui y mène. Partout, une vegetation luxuriante so'offrait p. la vue; et dans la flore sauvage le prédonnance des couleurs blanches et pour pres laissait à penser que, pour fetter la venue prochaine de Noel, la Nature s'était parée, exprés des couleurs symbolisant la purété et la royaout de l'enfant Jesus.

Correspondindo a mis desesos, la muy cuita redacción del valioso periódico Negro World, que muy aceradiante dirije el sapientismo e ilustre Mr. Marcus Garvey, gloria de nuestra raza, has tenido la amable atención de cederme espacio en sus páginas para, desde ellas, lanzar a los vientos el fragor intenson de un conglomerado énico que lucha y se afana por el progreso, pero aun se mantiene symido en letargo que hace retrogar su avance, dificultando, por lo tanto ese mismo progreso que anheliamos.
No soy suficiente para equiparar mi humilde pluma, con las de los ilustres hombres que colaboran en este periódico; sinceramente lo confieso, pero la se la duchar y de progreso que en mi niente bulle, haceme buscar por este medio un campo nuevo, desde donde poder demostrar que la raza negra en Cuba, muy apaesar de sus detractores, una colectividad que avanza a paso agigantado, pese a los errores que sus-mismos miembros cometen y a la poa atencion que nuestros propios hermanos, prestan a un asunto tan trascendental e importante como el que a muestra raza atañe.
En el extranjero, mas alla de los mares, donde no llega el rumor de iuestra agitación política actual donde no se nota el movimiento interior de iuestra clases humilientes all donde no se recibe otra inspiración ni otra noticia que la dictada por un gobierno que, apesar de ser verdaderamente democrata es convencional, ya que por todos los medios a su alcance hace que no llegue ha-ta ni nada que de a entender, que en este país existen hombres de epidermis de ebano, que se encuentran capacitados, para defender sus legitimos, derechos, y para llevar a esta República por el sendero la securede del adelanto, para elevarla al pinaculo donde Maco, aquel glorioso titan de bronce, honra de muestra raza, quiso elegarla. Alli, lejos, es donde quiero laureme escuchar por mis esclarecidos hermanos de raza, para hablarles de nuestro progreso cultural, de "muestros anhelos, de mestras necesidades y de lo que es más importante, de mestros defectos. Quiero laureme oir de ellos porque no les, llegan mestras noticias; porque muchos ignoran a la altura, que actualmente nos encontramos en esta tierra y muchos, muy muchos, ignoran que existan negros en la laísa de Cuba.
Es triste, es doloroso y hasta vergonzoso si se quiere, pero es la verdad escueta, y hemos llegado a este estado de cosas por nuestra culpa, por la dejación evidente que lucemos de questros asuntos sociales, en relación con nuestros hermanos extranjeros, de los cuales muy enfermedamente nos creemos superiores, apesar de que comparativamente nos encontramos en un plano muy inferior a ellos. Esta poca atención por nuestra parte unida al encubrirlo velo oficial que se extiende sobre nuestras relaciones internacionales, han traido este estado de giosas que desde cierto punto de vista es denigrante.
Y a ello voy es árdua la tarea, no lo niego, la te que tengo es imensa. Ella me guía y vencere, no lo doble: am cuando no me encuentre lo suficientemente preparado continuar en mi puesto, firme como la incomovible roca, contendolo con la avuda y protección de mis hermanos de raza, mis lectores bondadosos, a quienes a lar par que les pido indulgencia para mis mal redactadas lines, envio por este medio mi salutación más efusiva, así como al Excuno, Mr. Marcus Carvey, director de, esta publicación, paladin esfazado, de la sagrada causa de nuestro pueblo, y muy particularmente al señor M. A. Bigueroa, encargado de la Sección Española, debido a cuya amabilidad delo el espacio que en esta sección ocupo. A la Redacción toda, salud.

Cuestión Masónica
La gran filosofia que encuadra la Escuadra y el Compas universalmente entendida por los discipulos de Salomon, tiene un capítulo apartado en la masoneria norteamericana. La gran significación del hombre, puro y sin mancha, al recibir ante el ara sagrada los secretos de la orden, está completamente nublada ante la concepción equivoca de los altos principios y virtudes que la masoneria demanda, por todos aquellos que se jactan de ser masones, y en particular, masones de la raza sufrida en estos Estados Unidos de America.
Lo sagrado, lo veridico, lo excepcionalmente sublimie de esta gran orden, ha sido desgraciadamente desvirtuado por la acción y el proceder ignorante, de los mal llamados masones de distintos ritos que populan en este ambiente americano. La historia-masonica empeso su página emblematica en este país, allí por la época del cajolainejpresor. La masoneria hegra (y esto lo tras la circunstancia civico-politica de este país) tuvo su acceso por me-
disciplin de las tropas hydricas, que
el general Gatos capitaina en la
ciudad de Boston, y a este fin los
escopos elementos de color de aquilía
epoca, concidieron la idea de
establecer Logias y Capitulos, para
entrar en el ilosofismo de la Orden
Secreta; y al efecto, por ayuda gubernamental, la Gran Bretaña concedió autorización para establecer sus columnas simbolicas, y constituirse en cuerpo regular, con los mismos principios y privilegios que atafen a estos cuerpos diseninados en todos los puntos del orbe y en todas las latitudes.
Esfuerzos para encarriar un gran movimiento en beneficio de nuestro pueblo—Tenemos que sacrificarnos y ejercitar cada átomo de energía para promover una causa industrial—Viaje inaugural del primer vapor de la cruz negra en enero próximo—Grandes realizaciones en perspectiva en pro de la felicidad de la raza en el futuro
Si bien estas Logias tuvieron derechos y privilegios, concedidoles dentro del código que gobiernan tales instituciones; no menos ciertos es que estaban obligadas a soportar ciertos deberes inudibles para sanciar sus funciones ritualísticas, y estas a su vez respetadas, ser sanciónadas por la Gran Madre Logia Británica, supreme autoridad en el inmienso ciclo que abarca la cadea humanitaria de la masoneria universal.
El único movimiento que persigue mejora la condición actual de nuestro pueblo, nuestra organización, hace de nuevo una apelación al sentimiento de progreso de la raza, para que se adhiera y coopere al programa industrial y comercial de la corporación naviera, como medio para llevar a la realización de un modo concreto nuestros propósitos.
Todo hijo tiene deberes inalienables que cumplir para el padre que lo engendara; la existencia del uno se debe a la voluntad creatiza del segundo, y rotos los vinculos del menor al mayor, la solidaridad se desproporcióna, el equilibrio se desvía, la normalidad tompe su curso natural, y he aquí que la crasa ignorancia y lo obtuso de criterio de aquellos humildes chinos en no pagar sus primicias a la Gran Madre Logia, trajeron por consiguiente una revocación de los principios constituyentes como tales Logias, destruyendo así fundamenta,mente toda la garantía, todo el valor moral, todo el peso de gravitatacion masonica que pudieran en la factualidad estos bandos amurros, cueros acefalos que estan haciaciendo gala de autenticidad dentro del elemento de color americano, en lo que a lo sagrado, virtuoso y honoraniad.masonica respecta.
Por varios años hemos estado disertando con el deseo de promulgar la doctrina de esta organización, pero consideramos ya que el periodo de propaganda ha terminado y debemos inmediatamente iniciar la labor que como consecuencia directa, haya de redundar los resultados apetecidos. Nuestra aspiración por la redención de Africa no es solamente política, sino también industrial y comercial; Africa no significa simplemente el continente de donde procedemos, pero doquiera los hijos e hijas de Etiopia se hallen establecidos, alli en sus respectivas comunidades tendrán tanto que ejecutar en la promoción de su adelanto, como haya que realizarse por la adquisición de un nacionalismo africano.
Como primer requisito hemos de sacrificarnos y ejercitar cada átomo de nuestras energías, para llevar avante el programa industrial y comercial de nuestra nueva corporación naviera; tencimos que prepararnos para lanzar el primer vapor al mar, y cual sentinela alerta, velar por que el comercio que haya de desarrollarse por este medio, sea ejecutado con toda la eficiencia que requiere el caso. La operación de tina linea de vapores no cuesta varios centenares de pesos, cuesta centenares de miles de éstos y sus beneficios están en proporción con el capital invertido. Esta organización promueve las actividades de la corporación naviera, porque del éxito de esta ella se vera beneficiada, facilitando los medios para la continuación de su gran labor de emancipación y de progreso.
Los titulados "Prince . Hall," "King Salomon Temple," "A. F. Masons," y otras tantas instituciones que pretenden sentar plaza de regulares en los distintos Estados de la Union Americana, son cuerpos clandestinos con jurisdicción local unicamente, comparables a otros tantos cuerpos corporativos, cuyos sistemas, y regimen interno están unica y exclusivamente sometidos a las leyes de incorporación del Estado en que radiquen, y jamás podran tener la sancion mora y el respeto masico del cuerpo universalmente constituto, como el Gran Consejo de Mejico, La Gran Orden Cubana, el Gran Capitulo Dominicano, la Gran Logia Soberana de Puerto Rico y el Gran Consejo Español de la misma isla. "Todos estos años digatarios masicos, tienen su recurrentio en la Aglomerada Logia de Inglaterra." Pueden presentar los distintos cuerpos masicos, que radican en los Legados Unidos, actual justificación ante el mundo masivo. No.
Nuestra embarcación conduciendo nuestro comercio de un punto a otro del globo, no ha de facilitar solamente la relación comercial de la raza, sino que ha de abrir nuevo campo mercantil a los productos naturales de nuestro pueblo, todo lo cual redundará en beneficio de los intereses de nuestra noble causa. La masa conciente y de preclara inteligencia ha llegado al convenimiento, de que por medio de su establecimiento industrial y comercial, podrá un pueblo o una raza adquirir su independencia y convertirse en un poder reconocido. El negro ha sido una dependencia por mucho tiempo, y ello es el resultado de su descontento y de su posición poco favorable en el universo; pero cuando por medio de energía en sus actividades establezca su propia industria y su propio comercio de los cuales pueda depender. la actitud del universo entero para con su raza ha de sufrir un cambio sorprendente.
El conecto a que la estado sujeto de la taza de color de los Estados Unidos, es aliante bourbonero. Descansa la filosofía de esta institución en la preparación humana, conciente y espiritual de todos, y cada uno de los elementos que en la penetra hay una luz que ha car, hay una filosofía que investiga, hay un detecho conciente que ejeccer, hay un privilegio soberano que otorgan, y para esa luz, la para el analisis de esa filosofía, para consciención de ese detecho, para la adquisición de ese privilegio, el humble tiene que estar preparado concientemente y descanse su todo de humano en la trilogía invicta del hibertad, de justicia y desarrollo cerebral.
Esta nueva apelación a nuestro pueblo debe llegar a lo mas profundo del alma de todos y cada uno de aquellos con el menor grado de patriotismo y con el mayor sentimiento del deber. Todos tenemos una misión de importancia que cumplir durante el curso de nuestra existencia; el elemento de nuestra raza tiene un papel de gran importancia que desempenar en la realización del programa de nuestra organización, por el hecho de que sus tendencias son liberares y de gran trascendencia. El abarca todas las faces de nuestra vida tanto nacional como internacional, sea cual fuere la procedencia o residencia de nuestro elemento, quedando por sentado que en lo que respecta al adelanto social, educativo, religioso, político, industrial y comercial del negro, la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra provce la solución del problema de la raza universalmente.
Un masón dentro del legítimo de recho como tal, es un libre pensador; un hombre conciente. No es un ateso a lo Voltaire, no es un conspirador a lo San Ignacio de Loyola, no es un predestinado. lo Cristo es un hombre de alta visión de la huántimo como lo fue Hugo, como lo fue Marti, como lo fue San Croix, como lo han sido una plave de hombres que prestigia la Esencia de la Compa.
Un nuevo año se aproxima y con el se augura una nueva era de prosperidad; en su transcurso hemos de introducir en forina concreta nuestras actividades, en persecución de todo a cuanto aspiramos. Todo elemento legal a la organización y a su raza debe contribuir al éxito del movimiento mas poderoso en la historia de Etiopia. Nada scrá más prepotente que la combinación de fuerzas; lo que una docena de individuos no puedan llevar a la realización, será facilmente ejecutado por cien, mil, un millón o cuatrocientos millones; por ello esta nueva apelación a la gran masa de nuestro pueblo, para que combinando sus fuerzas y ejercitando su ability, se halle en posición de reconstruir una raza que en el futuro se sienta orgullosa de su existencia.
El negro americano la contundido la masoneria con u política; ostenta en su chaqueta una Eunadria y un Compas, con el mismo prestigio que ostenta en una semana electoral, el emblema política que defienda. El mason verdad, el que ha pasado por la prueba filosofica del triangulo de luz y ha besado reverentemente el ara sacratissima, presta un juramento leal para consigo mismo y para con la humanidad, ostenta con religión el Compas y la Escandria que lo conceptue como tal. Sea usted mason, y llevara usted consigo im lenguaje que lo unifiique con el universo entero; sea usted un "faker". y llevara consigo la burla y el escarnio que acompanan a los previcadores. yjesutas de todos los tiempos.
ción de la piel es causa mas que efectiva para desconocerse hermano con hermano. La ignorancia entre los elementos de un mismo tamaiz, es más que suficiente para desmoralizar el fundamentalismo humanoitario de la misma; y en este caso tenemos que todos aquellos elementos que emigran a estas playas, en busca de mejor ambiente y mayor accomodo
de vida, deben de resguardarse de la contaminación con los ideales que sustenen como tales masones, y antes de dar un paso en false, estudiar las causas y motivos que obliguen a formar causa comun con pretendidos hermanos de esta latitudes.

'LOST VIGOR RESTORED IN 24 HOURS'
"Glands Awakened in One Day" is the Amazing Statement of a Seventy-Aix-Year-Old Veteran.
Lost vigor, deadened glands, and nerves, and that week, worn-out, depressed and half-alive feeling need not be drained any longer since the Now it is possible for those who feel "prematurely old" to become "rejuvenated" and regain the "vital force of youth". Glands are the amazing statement of one who has taken the treatment. This famous discovery is bringing "renewed youth" and thousands of everything else had failed.
"I want to my that my 'last vigor' was restored and 'glands renewed' in twenty-four hours," says D. B. Peck. But I don't feel a day over 40. Before I started taking the treatment I felt I was an old, "worn-out" man, but now I am a young, healthy man. This sensation and am convinced my 'rejuvenation' is complete and permanent. May God's blessing rest on the discoverer of boon to humanity.

Garry: He's like a factory working on full time. This man puts his whole body into a thing; he is not easily excruciated; he has got the grip of a bulldog; when he heaps gets his teeth in, nothing can shake his off. He is spoken of as a man of iron will, sure to make his way and to carry out his plana.
The time demands leaders, men who will stand for high principles. You may lose a little time and money, but the straightforward white man will respect you more. Booker T. Washington used to say that you couldn't keep the races apart; for if you build a Chinese wall around the Negro, the white man would climb over or dig under it. This is true. We can't keep the races apart; we have to help each other: For example, China contributes her tea and silk. Japan her rice. Africa her diamonds and rubber. Europe her lace and chemicals. America her iron, steel and chemicals. No one continent can get along without the other, so must meet and are Interdependent, since men must come in contact with other men, since no man can live to himself. Their why not let men meet each other as men, as children of one common father?
But when we think of the Negro living apart, developing a civilization all his own, we wonder if it isn't true that the Negro, of all races, if left alone, will develop an ideal that will be wholly different from the ideal of the white man. Now, let those who lead lead aright, and Africanism will prevail; but if they do not, she will be lost. Awful will be the cost to be paid in loss of the highest and noblest ideal get conceived" in the government of men. CORNE'N WILHITE. Tampa, Mexico.
Ignorance of Ourselfes
As Shown in the Movies
To the Editor of the Negro World:
Personally I seem not to have seen so many moving pictures, read so much literature or heard so much talk about Africa before the World War, as since, and more so since the L. N. J. A. beagup to spread its propaganda of "Africa for Africans" at home and abroad. Where there was a state of neutrality amongst the Negroes of the western world because of their total ignorance of things in Africa, there is now a state of friendliness or hostility, according to their understanding and the understanding which they got their understanding. And g is the expression that is given out pro and con that interests me at this particular moment.
The loyalty and devotion of those who have learned and now understand about Africa can hardly be questioned. But it is the expression of those who are still in ignorance of who fall to reason that we have to sympathize with and comment upon. Take for instance where a certain movie news reel was shown in the theatres of this district pertaining to the celebration

of depressions you find and the drama in which they come themselves in the bedroom that they are intended to bind. The average Penguin hangs himself sick and smiling that it demonstrated a spirit of bravery and spirit that was a challenge to the world.
Last night I saw, through the same source, a news reel entitled an African convention opened up with a war dance. And let me tell you, it surely was a war dance that demonstrated unity, if nowhere else, right there within that group. Yet a large Negro audience sat there and laughed a laugh of sidgetown and scorn and coneit. Forgetting that nine out of ten it was taken, shown and intended to bring that said same result. Those are the things that make me pity my brothers and sisters; yet I have to endure with them, in face of the fact as to how anxious I am to see us all embrace each other universally.
I often wonder if the two Biblical legends about Hum, laughing, at his father's makedness and the confusion at the tower of Babel, are not hibernatars handed down through the ages to the Negro. He seems to be the only group that characterizes these traits perfectly. But, as Pope says, "It is the laugh that speaks the vacant mind." It is surprising to me that with all the propaganda that has been spread here of late, not even one Negro Movies News Reel has been organized to take pictures of Negro hippopithes in the different parts of the world to justify themselves. But to walk on the white man to do so, he has but one place for us in the field of the theatre, and that is to take part in the comedy. "To capitalize us as a laughing stock for his people and a depreciation of ourselves.
A Canal Zone Boy for Africa for the Africans
To the Editor of the Negro World:
Although a boy, yet I feel it my duty to give you a few words of encouragement, I read through the columns of the Negro World of the great opposition of our enemies; but remember that in the hottest of the battle there is victory ahead. Look not to the right nor to the left, but straight forward to your goal, and you shall trample your enemies under foot. The race is not for the swift, nor the battle for the strong, but for him that endureth unto the end. For courage, hustle with determination, must bring good works to pass. Therefore, stand firm; be hold in the right, and leave no stone unturned until Africa has been redeemed. With host, wishes for your success.
EDWARD TOHLINSON.

Protest of African Chiefs Has Reached in Cuba
To the Editor of the Negro World:
I have been a loyal member of the U. N. I. A. and a 100 per cent. Negro. I was always looking and listening to hear some thing. Now I have got the courage to stand up for the Negro World of October 25. It brings joy to my heart to know that 124 African chiefs are about to stand up for our Motherland, Africa. "This gives us enough proof that the work of Hon. Marcel Garvey has reached its given point. Then, what is left for the enemies of the U. N. I. A. to do now? They may get busy, a node to hide themselves.
Ob. If we as a people could but see the good that is awaiting us through our leader, Hon. Marcel Garvey, we

Liquor Drinking in Africa
The drink question still continues to agitate the minds of our people who have had a bitter experience as to the havee the consumption of liquor has wrought in many afternoons in the country, and if the problem of prohibition has hitherto battled solution the difficulty has not been on the side of the people but on that of the formidable interests behind the liquor trade. There is money in the business for the trader, there is revenue in it for the government, and between these two great interests the liquor trade has continued and flourished all this time in spite of the efforts of the advocates of prohibition. For ourselves the fundamental problem is that the liquor trade is grevile evil, and since it is so, no consideration of monetary gain should be permitted to stand in the way of its removal. America with her large mixed population of black and white has adopted prohibition with a great measure of success, and if we great also acknowledge the traffic to be an evil, as we all acknowledge it to be, we have equal reason as the Americans for endeavoring to accomplish prohibition.

Every man or woman who has attended school or of school age will have a sense of pride in the progress of education and in the days of youth. An important lesson on the subject is that a simple but powerful treatment for anemia is the vital treatment of the human body. The earliest recorded report by ancient physicians that they have arranged to make this treatment easily practiced and that they have been able to treat their years and feel the need of a disposable rejuvenating aid. This treatment, called GLANDULUM, is in third form, in imitation of the aid who have tried GLANDULUM have been amazed at the almost immediate results, frequently the view and strength of youth returning to them soon. The great success of GLANDULUM is due to the method of combining the GLAND and ever really arrives. Bring on the man or woman of absolute perfection, whether in art or science, brain or brawn, and then you will have arrived, for it can not be done. The only man who ever "arrived" is the one we learn about in Sunday school.
