HOW NEGROES SHOULD CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS
FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting:
In another short while we will be celebrating the greatest of all anniversaries within the Christian realm, that of the birth of the MAN known to us as the Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Christmas is looked forward to with a joyous return, year by year, by millions of those who profess the Christian faith. It is one event that is somewhat universal. It comes at a time when civilized humanity resolves to make new arrangements for the work of the new year, and so we, the millions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, Christians as some of us are, and Mohammedans others, do join the joyous crowd at this time of the year—if not to give thanks for the birth of Christ—to be a part at least of the great multitude who see salvation through the rearrangement of our own human affairs.
Universal Grasp
The grasp that the Universal Negro Improvement Association has upon Christian and Mohammedan is one and the same. The two Characters who are leaders in these two religions were Colored men; therefore, we should take special pride in worshiping at Their shrines. Jesus was disrated, spurned, abused, imprisoned and subsequently crucified, not because He was a Jew, but because He was a Colored man, and the one that answered to the description of the Son of God. It was the disappointment and the prejudice of those who expected some one in another personality than that in which Christ came that caused them to have insisted upon His crucifixion as a means of getting rid of the "imposter." The crucifixion of Christ was prompted by the same prejudice nearly two thousand years ago as prompts the mob that lynches the innocent Negro in Georgia, Texas and Mississippi of the United States today. We are glad, however, that the entire Christian world of all races has come to acknowledge the fact that the Saviour of all mankind is the Christ, the Black Man who was nailed on Calvary's cross for the redemption of our sins.
Celebrating Christmas
Yet, as we universally celebrate Christmas, we as Negroes are not going to forget that it should not be all amusement, frivolity and joy, but that we should inject into it, outside of its religious demands, that serious service to race which the Universal Negro Improvement Association has always demanded from its members everywhere. Let us not overspend ourselves riotously during this Christmas season. Let us not for the whole year put away all that we earn to spend it out in one day and then to wake up in the new year penniless, helpless and still dependent. In certain parts of the country and of the world it is the disposition of the Negro to dissipate all his wealth and earnings in the couple of days joy that Christmas brings. This has been an ancient mistake on the part of the race. We want our people to be more intelligently and soberly guided, and so, before Christmas actually comes, we want to warn each and every one not to fall a prey to the old custom and habit, but to let us use Christmas and the seasons thereof as inspirations for greater work and greater service to ourselves.
Looking Forward
We of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are looking forward to 1925 as a helpful year in our effort

to reach the top. It can only become so by our disciplining ourselves to the kind of support that is necessary to bring good results. Instead, therefore, of dissipating all that we have financially during the Christmas season, let us carefully and economically spend but a part of what we have and use the other part for some good and useful purpose in the development of the race. No better purpose could be recommended to you than financial support to the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, which is endeavoring, through the efforts of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, to herald in for the race a new commercial and industrial era. As Christ, our Brother, nearly two thousand years ago gave us a new Christian era that has become the guide and help of the ages, so the Universal Negro Improvement Association today brings to you a new industrial and commercial era, a foundation that we in the generation of the present must lay for the amelioration of the conditions of succeeding generations and for the general betterment of the race that is to follow. Every Negro during this season should rigorously retrench upon his expenditures and save a part of that which he would riotously spend to further loan to the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company to help the Universal Negro Improvement Association to put over its plans. Where you contemplated spending $200.00 for Christmas, spend $100.00 and loan to the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company the other $100.00. Where you anticipated spending $100.00, spend $50.00 and loan the rest. Where you anticipated spending $50.00, spend $25.00 and loan the rest to a good cause, and if each and every one of us in America, West Indies, South and Central America does this, we will not only emerge out of Christmas into a new year with better spirits but with sounder pockets and greater hopes to face the future as it stares.
I am also appealing to all those who can afford it in America to make every effort to see the West Indies and Central America aboard the first ship of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company that will sail away from New York on the 11th of January, 1925. This tourists' cruise is especially arranged for the benefit of those Negroes
in America who desire to see the beauties of the tropics during the winter months. The cruise will take 31 days. The ship will return to New York on the 7th of February, after having touched such important points as Havana, Cuba; Kingston, Jamaica; Colon, Panama; Port Limon, Costa Rica, and Bocas del Toro, Panama. Every Negro, as we have said before, who can afford to make the trip should do so. The S. S. Booker T. Washington is one of the best equipped ocean liners afloat. The ship is 5,300 tons. Her accommodations are of the best and most upto-date. The ship will be manned by an experienced group of White and Colored officers, men who have had years of experience in the service of other steamship companies. The Captain is an able Norwegian officer who has seen service in his country's merchant marine as well as the merchant marine of the United States. The passage to and fro on the cruise will be $350.00, first-class accommodation. Overworked professional men of the race and business men who seek recreation should take advantage of this trip. Husbands and wives who have never had a real good holiday should embrace this opportunity to make a cruise of the West Indies and Central America in 31 days.
Wonderful Cruise
Each section of the United States should be represented in this cruise, and it is expected that a goodly number of tourists will go from the Negro sections of Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Washington, Philadelphia, Boston, St. Louis and New York. Passages can be booked up to the 31st instant. No passports are necessary for those who intend to make the round trip. A limited number of passengers will be booked one way also to accommodate those who desire to go to the tropics and not return. In such cases passports must be provided before the passengers are booked, but for all tourists who intend to go and return on the trip in 31 days there will be no passports. Write immediately to the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, 56 West 135th Street, New York City, and book your passage. Members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association should ask their friends and acquaintances in the different cities to make this trip to Central America and the West Indies aboard our ship. We are willing to accommodate any and everybody who desires to make the trip.
With very best wishes for your success. I have the honor to be

THE PRESIDENT'S FIRST MESSAGE TO CONGRESS
We Are at Peace with All the World and Among the Most Prosperous of the Nation—Insists Upon Reduction of Taxation and Economy in the Conduct of the Government
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.—In his first message to Congress, President Coolidge made a strong plea for tax reduction and economy in the appropriations and expenditures of public moneys. On this point he said:
The present state of the Union, upon which it is customary for the President to report to the Congress under the provisions of the Constitution, is such that it may be regarded with encouragement and satisfaction by every American. Our country is almost unique in its ability to discharge fully and promptly all its obligations at home and abroad, and provide for all its inhabitants an increase in material resources, in intellectual vigor and in moral power.
The nation holds a position unsurpassed in all former human experience. This does not mean that we do not have any problems. It is elementary that the increasing breadth of our experience necessarily increases the problems of our national life. But it does mean that if we will but apply ourselves industriously, and honestly, we have ample powers with which to meet our problems and provide for their speedy solution.
I do not profess that we can secure an era of perfection in human existence, but we can provide an era of peace and prosperity, attended with freedom and justice and made more and more satisfying by the minilitrations of the charities and humanities of life.
Our domestic problems are for the most part economic. We have our enormous debt to pay, and we are paying it. We have the high cost of government to diminish, and we are disabling it. We have a heavy burden of taxation to reduce, and we are reducing it. But while remarkable progress has been made in these directions, work is yet far from accomplished; still we over $21,000,000,000, of the national government about $2,500,000,000, and the taxes still amount to about $2 one of our inhabitants. There is this enormous field for cation of economy.
In my opinion, the govern

do more to remedy the economic ties of the people by a system of rigid economy in public expenditure than can be accomplished through any other action. The costs of our national and local government combined now stand at a sum close to $100 for each inhabitant of the land. A little less than one-third of this is represented by national expenditure, and a little more than two-thirds by local expenditure.
It is an ominous fact that only the national government is reducing its debt. Others are increasing theirs at about $1,000,000,000 each year. The depression that overtook business, the disaster experienced in agriculture, the lack of employment and the terrific shrinkage in all values which our country experiences in a most acute form in 1920, resulted in no small measure from the prohibitive taxes which were then levied on all productive effort. The establishment of a system of dramatic economy in public expenditure, which has enabled us to pay off about one-fifth of the national debt since 1919, and almost cut in two the national tax burden since 1921, has been one of the main causes in reestablishing a prosperity which has come to include within its benefits almost every one of our inhabitants. Economy reaches everywhere. It carries a blessing to everybody.
The fallacy of the claim that the costs of government are borne by the rich and those who make a direct contribution to the national treasury cannot be too often exposed. No system has been devised. I do not think any system could be devised, under which any person living in this country could, escape being affected by the cost of our government. It has a direct effect both upon the rate and the purchasing power of wages. It is felt in the price of those prime necessities of existence, food, clothing, fuel and shelter. It would appear to be elementary that the more the government expends the more it must require every producer to contribute out of his production to the public treasury, and the less he will have for his own benefit. The continuing costs of public administration can be met in only one way—by the work of the people. The higher they become, the more the people must work for the government. The less they are, the more the people can work for themselves.
The present estimated margin between public receipts and expenditures for this fiscal year is very small. Perhaps this is to furthl ment, reduc

Ladies of the Royal Court of Ethiopia Preparing Entertainment—Dr. Dabney Will Present "Red Carol" —Help the Committee Make the Young Folks Happy
In order that Santa Claus may be able to present each child with a gift the committee would be pleased to obtain the names, sex and address of each child of the New York local by December 19. Please leave names at table in Liberty Hall with Mrs. Hapnah Nicholas or at office 56 West, 135th street, M. M. S. Young.
"Standing room only" bids fair to be the sign which will be hung out at the door of Liberty Hall Friday evening, December 19 when a special performance for "The Red Carol" Christmas benefit is held. Strenuous efforts on the part of the ladies of the Royal Court of Ethiopia are being made to raise funds for the "Red Carol Christmas party," for the juvenile of the New York local. A member of the downtown chapter of the U. N. I. A. has kindly commented to serve Santa Claus. And we are striving to make it possible for him to bring cash child a "Red Carol Gift."
The most pleasing announcement for the Red Carol Christmas benefit is the coming of Dr. Ardelle M. Dabney's sub debs in their delightful musical comedy success, featuring the "Strutting Strutners," which attracted much attention during their former engagements at the Renaissance. There is not a more talented and popular set of young folks in Gotham than the Dabney Sub Debs, for in addition to their friends and admirers they have gained recognition by their work in musical and dance comedy.
Dr. Dahney, the charming chaperone of the Sub Debs, is a most ardent man, and has talent and talent as occasions; and to miss benefit.

Rev. Garrison Ordained To Preach the Gospel
A very impressive ceremony took place on Monday evening, November 84, at the Methodist Episcopal Independent Church, located at 2525 Seventh avenue, Rev. Batson, pastor, when Rev. N. Theodore Garrison was ordained to the ministry. Rev. William Floyd Smith was the moderator. The opening prayer was offered by Rev. C. Chadvill; scripture was read by Rev. W. Tashman; the ordination sermon was preached by Rev. Louise M Repee; the ordination prayer was offered by Rev. W. Derbyshire, and the charge to the candidate was delivered by Rev. L. Repee.
A very befitting address was given by Rev. Batson who rejoiced with the candidate in having attained no noble a call. A friend of Rev Garrison's sang a solo. The service closed with the benediction pronounced by the newly ordained minister.
earners from the disastrous competition of a great influx of foreign peoples. This has been done by the restrictive immigration law. This saves the American job for the American workman. I should like to see the administrative features of this law rendered a little more humane for the purpose of permitting those already here a greater latitude in securing admission of members of their own families. But I believe this law in principle is necessary and sound and destined to increase greatly the public welfare. We must maintain our own economic position, we must defend our own national integrity.
"It is gratifying to report that the progress of industry, the enormous increase in individual productivity through laser-engaging devices and the high rates of wages have all combined to furnish our people in general with the blessings of our common American citizenship."
A Canadian's Opinion of Mr. Garvey and His Grasp of the Negro Needs and How to Supply Them — We Must Be Up and Doing
To the Editor of The Negro World:
More valuable than all the earth is one's psychological income. This, the ever increasing development of the powers of the mind, especially "vision power," enables the individual to find his sphere of greatest real achievement and success. All power dies in man's soul unless he gets new visions. There are always new visions for the souls of those who achieve the vision of today. And in the successful achievement of new visions comes the greatest richness of happiness.
Here lies. Marcus Garvey's hope of solving the great Negro problem. But the power of problem-seeing is greater than the power of problem-solving. It comes first in the order of our leader's growth mentally, and is developing more and more rapidly through his whole life. It should first be apparent in seeing material problems, and, as he grows older, in-seeing abstract problems of the intellect and the spiritual life.
Clear vision of a problem is the first essential in its correct solution. When we think of the great inventions of the steam engine, of the telephone, etc., we must believe that these things were the outcome of great visions and development of mind power. Just remember the vision that came to Mr. Garvey as he lay in his cabin some years ago, when crossing the deep Atlantic Ocean, as he has said in his own words, how he conversed with men on that voyage from Africa. Then the vision came to him, and now we have the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. Out of a clear mind and vision was born a great movement to solve this vexing problem of Negro emancipation.
Stephenson had a clear vision when he conceived the steam engine. Edison's and Bell's visions came in like manner, with many others. And today we have Mr. Garvey, the courageous leader of the Negro people of the world, with a program and a problem to solve, and it is only left for the manse to take a strong hold with hopes of accomplishing for themselves those things which all free men enjoy.
Marcus Garvey has seen the masses of his people suffer for over 300 years, and like the four leprous men at the gate of Samaria, who, on account of the great famine which was in the land, and the host of Assyria which were outside the city gates, when they said one to the other, "Why sit we here until we die?" Yes, why sit we here until we die? Let us arise and go into the camp of the Assyrians. If they kill us, we shall but die; and if they save us, we shall but live. And so determined, were these four men that not even death could stop them. And we are told how they, with courage and determination, with one mind and heart, went forth into the camp of the enemy. They were saved; they lived, and they went and told all who were in the city. And the whole city was saved, and its people had bread.
Now we have a leader, Negroes. Let us arise and go into the city. Why are we here until we die? Support your leader and the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. The Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company is a reality. We are on our way. Up! To your guns like men; Or back to your china, like slaves! J. M. BAILEY. 77 Sulliyan Street, Toronto, Can.
Christmas Seal Sales
In the Hending Holidays
To the Editor:
John E. Nail, president of the Association of Trade and Commerce of Harlem, has again offered his services to the Harlem Tuberculosis Committee of the New York Tuberculosis Association in connection with its Christmas Seals Sale, according to a statement made today by Mrs. Mabel Doyle Keaton, executive secretary.
Mr. Nail helped Harlem's Seals Sale materially last year by sending out personal letters to the full membership list of the Association of Trade and Commerce, urging them to purchase Christmast Seals and to aid in every other possible way. This year he has not only gladly consented to the same method of personal appeal as he used for the 1923 Seals Sale, but because of his interest in the work that the Harlem Tuberculosis Committee is doing he addressed its Christmas Seals Sale luncheon that took place recently, his talk being on "The Business of Buying Health."
"It is encouraging to us who are engaged in the work of fighting tuberculosis," said Mrs. Koston today, "to have the earnest co-operation of men like Mr. Nail, and we certainly appreciate all that is being done for us along these lines. It is through our good friends up here in Harlem—and they are increasing daily—that our efforts are being rewarded with success. A generous purchase of the Tuberculosis Scale between The lunging and Christmas will enable us to increase these efforts during 1923."
"Who is She?"
Men invariably say when they see women like Miss Lottie Gee, Prima Donna of the "In Barnville" Company, whose smooth, glossy, daintily perfumed hair, attractively arranged, gives her such an appealing charm—
You, too, can have the appeal of beautiful hair. Thousands of our people, like Miss Gee, are finding it is simply a matter of using Pluko Hair Dressing regularly.
Miss Gee says: "I never have a bit of trouble with my hair now that I am using Pluko, as this delightfully perfumed preparation keeps my hair soft, straight, glossy and easy to arrange in any manner I wish."

PREACHING THAT FAILED TO COMFORT THE LISTENER
We Have Got to Get at the Things of Earth and Look After Our Own Affairs, or There Is Nothing Doing
To the Editor of The Negro World:
On Monday, November 17, 1924, the bells of the old church at this centre began to send forth their warning and appalling notes at an early hour of the day to the inhabitants of our hamlets and its surrounding villages. The missionary meetings that are always kept at this time of the year were to be duly opened for business to their adherents, and those of their auditors who were prepared to come and listen in at the human radio and hear of the wonders performed by our do-little-and-much lauded missionaries, in foreign and other climes, that are doing their best to heathenise the heathens (as they are called by them) by robbing and stealing, away their belongings and leaving in their wake rum—rum interspersed with hymn books that teach us to sing, "My Home Is, in Heaven," etc.
Mark well, not a word was made mention of our own cheap missionary work here in Costa Rica, although it seems we are all such great and good Christians. That to be a member of the U. N. I. A. would prevent St. Peter opening up the doors to Heaven to let us in.
"We beseech thee to hear us, good Lord."
The speakers for the evening in numbers were "the three irons," and in conjunction, as is their usual wont when opportunity offers itself, they thought the time had come to throw some of that long pent-up steam of hot air, with a blower pipe attached to the tomb of "poor Cain." They thought to "raise him" from a deep sleep, so they dwelt upon the goddess, the careless and foolish ones who are trying and worrying over unprofitable things, seeking after this world and its goods and are neglecting the "Massa's work."
Negroes looking to form a government which is impracticable, looking to sail on Buckra Seas! No, senor; and the Master is calling. "Lay up not for yourselves' treasures on earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and thieves break through and steal. But lay up for yourselves' treasures in Heaven," etc.
The speaker continued in fervent heat and quoted a word or two from an article that was published in The Negro World of last year, that referred to the missionary meeting that took place in said church.
He then argued on the long-eared animal, after asking his hearers if they knew an animal with a long ear. Says he the speaker: "You all know that animal with a long ear, pointing in front of him." Brothren, the speaker meant a jack-axe, now, whether it be a she or he and it makes no difference. But I can prove to you that the ass has played a most noteworthy part in the life and history of man. And if we will look in the good old
hook, the Bible, we can read that
fiamment, the strong man, took the jaw
bone of an ane and slew, dear readopa,
how many Philistines?
Bahman is also spoke also. The greatest of all, Jesus of Nazareth, rode the asl into Jerusalem, and, remember, the streets were strewed with carpets and the jackets walked on them. The asl has played a most important and noteworthy part in the history of man, and he or she is going to play it again:
We thank our missionary speakers of the evening, for they have played their part well in earning an easy living by blowing hot air twice a week, but the hot air of this nature does not count. Let us who are dreaming of Africa's redemption: put our dreams into actualities and we shall stick closer than ever for the cause, of Afri'la's redemption and the great work of the U. N. L. A. All our worthy and unworthy members of the race, be they preachers, teachers or laymen, "the writing" still is outlined on the wall, "Mene mene tekel upharim."

Extension of Mme. Walker's Business Helps the Race
There is no better sign of race progress than the continuous opening of new businesses by our group throughout the Jand. Too numerous to mention, these businesses are offering employment to more of our people and are serving the needs of our group in no small way.
Important among the new establishments being opened from time to time are the Partors and Supply Stations of the Madam C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company, of Indianapolis, Ind. Every so often some city is chosen for one of the Madam C. J. Walker branch houses and the business life of that city and the general public alike are helped by the addition of these new institutions, to their already progressive midst.
Most recently, Cleveland, Ohio, and Kansas City, Mo., have had branches of the Walker Company opened in the hearts of their business sections. In Cleveland, at 2268 East 55th street, a modern, well-equipped beauty parlor, school and distributing agency has been established, with seven booths, as many efficient operators, competent instructors and every facility for teaching and practising the most advanced beauty culture. At 19th and Trace avenues, Kansas City, Mo., stands the Madam C. J. Walker Company Beauty Shoppe and School, the very latest link in the chain of Madam C. J. Walker purifiers. Immaculate, attractive and modern in every detail, it is already an active part of the buzzing business life of that city. This shop is an innovation in that it is specializing in beautifying men as well as women. Mrs. Lula Hall Alexander supervised the designing and opening of the Cleveland brand and Mrs. P. Eglyne Osborne the Kansas City branch. Both are traveling representatives of the Walker company. At each of these newly opened parlor reception were held, demonstrations were given and vast crowds were the recipients of souvenirs and favors, and large classes in Madam C. J. Walker's system were enrolled. These two new branches are part of a chain of Madam C. J. Walker branch schools located in New York, Chicago, Columbus, Ohio; Tulsa, Okla.; Los Angeles, Cal., and Indianapolis, and make a total of 70 branch parlor and supply stations located in as many different cities throughout the United States.
To the Editor of The Negro World:
For seven years the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, with an "iron pipe" in one hand and a "galvanized sheet" in the other, has walked around the four corners of the earth "raising Cain" in its determination to arouse the sleeping Negro race. Fortunately a handful of us have gotten rid of our beds as a result of the noise, but it is very and that up to the present moment the great majority of our people still remain in their beds enjoying what they believe to be "their sweet repose."
In the West Indies and British, French and Dutch Guiana the economic rope is being drawn tighter and tighter around the neck of the Negro. In South and Central America the situation is no different; even in this the greatest, most generous and most liberal country in the world, the United States, prejudice, segregation, Jim-crowism, disenfranchisement and lynching may be added. In Europe there is no place for our people, who, as a matter of fact are looked upon as being nothing short of a menace to the peace and tranquility of the Europeans. In Africa slavery is almost as rampant today as in the Victorian age when the Emancipation Proclamation was signed eighty years ago.
Under existing conditions, what are we going to do for ourselves as a race of sane and intelligent people? Are we going to remain in our too dangerous trance-like sleep while a handful of Moors work overtime keeping the Moroccan fires burning under a thirty-year-old Spanish deluge? While 6,500,000 South African boys and girls send us their greetings and assurance of their co-operation by cable? While Egypt, which first smelted the iron "that made the guns and hull of the warship Benhow," continues her brave struggle, with only twenty rounds of ammunition, we are told, against the well-supplied pirates, in the interest of freedom and independence. Surely the leopard-like leap of seventy millions of Japanese during the past sixty years ought to be an inspiration to four hundred million of brave and mighty but "fired" and unthinking Negroes.
"Let us proceed, then, like men and women and not like suckling babies to build an economic, commercial, industrial, political, financial, educational and religious foundation for ourselves, which will bring to us quicker than any other agency that which we want, that for which we have pledged our blood, our very life, the inevitable redemption of our fathers' country, the land of lands, Africa.

LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday Night, December 7. Liberty Hall was alive with enthusiasm tonight and the two thousand or more members and friends of the New York local who attained manifested, by their moral and financial support, their loyalty and devotion to the cause of the Universal Negro Improvement Association which they have so gallantly upheld during the passing years and to which they have everlastingly pledged themselves to support until the program shall have been put over.
In the absence of the President-General, Hort. Marcus Garvey, the meeting was presided over by Hon. G.A. Weston, First Vice-President of the New York local. The meeting was much enlivened by the presence of a new band of music under the direction of Mr. Saltus, who voluntarily gave his services and those of his men in order that the patrons of Liberty Hall might be suitably entertained. This was brought about through the instrumentality of Mr. Jas. Brown, the newly elected chairman of the Board of Trustees, whose plans for the New York local promise to bring new life into the organization.
Hon. G. E. Carter, secretary-general, was the first speaker. He spoke on the subject of "Getting Out of the Rut," and characterized the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association as a class of Negroes who, figuratively speaking, had "gotten out of the rut," in that they were following a line of advanced thought that was distinct and at the same time calculated to do a world of good for all the Negroes. Said he, "If this race of ours is to accomplish the purpose for which it has been created, we have got to get out of the rut; to get out of the rut calls for thinking, and thinking calls for action, and action will beget for a race and the individuals that race something well worth having in the affairs of mankind." He urged the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to use their thought in such a way that the world shall know that they possess a power that will not down; a power that is sufficient to overcome every opposition and enable them to go through in such a way that the world will realize that men and women who are organized and determined, cannot be successfully defeated or in any manner turned away from the path of duty.
Hon. G. A. Weston, in a brief address, took issue at a statement recently made at a public meeting, that "The Negro is a product of his environment." It is not so much the environment, he said, that shapes the individual, but it is whether the individual will submit to his environment. In support of his contention, he cited the Hon. Marcus Garvey as an example, who, he said, was born in an adverse environment but refused to become a part and parcel of that environment and struck out into the world to reach out for a national home and for the emancipation of a race. Continuing, he said that no matter what the surroundings of the Negro in the United States or in the West Indies or in other parts of the world may be, they should not subject themselves to their environment but stand up like men and carve a new way in the world and reach out and take hold of an ideal and objective and carry on in the face of opposition.
Following is the text of the speeches:
The Gland That Causes Men To Get Up at Night
The gland that causes getting up at night is known as the prostate and is a motorous trouble maker. It is estimated that sixty-five out of every 100 men past forty, and many under that age, have prostate trouble, which, if unchecked, often leads to a serious operation. The prostate surrounds the neck of the bladder like a washer. Naturally, when the bladder becomes inflamed by poisons which the kidneys filter out of the blood, the irritation spreads to the prostate. As the gland swells, it closes the neck of the bladder, making urination difficult and painful and causing pains in the back, head and legs.
An easy way to treat these annoying and dangerous conditions is to take one or two renex pills after each meal. The renex formula has been victorious in thousands of such cases. One authority says it also has a valuable tonic effect. Anybody wishing to prove the value of the formula can get a full-size, two-dollar treatment of the pills under a money-back guarantee by sending the attached coupon to the address given therein. If you prefer, you can pay the postman two dollars and postage on delivery, instead of sending the money with your order. In any case, if you report within ten days that you are not entirely satisfied, the purchase price will be refunded at ease, upon request. This is a thoroughly reliable company, so you need not hesitate about ordering the rexx if you need it.
WINTER ILLS
Perhaps you feel winter's chill more keenly than others? If you would keep free from coughs and colds, be careful to keep well-nourished with
SCOTT'S EMULSION
It is the feed-medicine well fitted and which thousands take regularly to protect themselves against the common ills of winter.
Overcome your dread of winter by keeping fit on Scott's Emulsion. There is nothing quite so good for you or your child.
HON. G. E. CARTER SPEAKS
Hon. G. E. Carter, secretary general, spoke as follows:
I want to talk to you tonight on a very commonplace subject. The thought was suggested to me as I scanned the New York American this morning and looked at the editorial page. There was a most wonderful picture, to my mind. It showed a line of individuals from all walks of life who were trudging, as it were, forward; but as they went forward the rut in which they were travelling became deeper and deeper. And then there was one striking thing about the whole picture. There was a young man who had long atrides and a gladaon smile upon his countenance; he had climbed out of the rut and he was moving on in another direction, and one of the individuals paused in the rut and called to him: "How did you do it? How did you get out of the rut?" And he said: "I climbed out and moved on."
Getting Out of the Rut
There is a wonderful lesson for us who are,members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Not only is there a lesson for us who are in the association, but there is a lesson for all Negroes, because it is a fact that for hundreds of years we have been moving in the same rut, and everyone who came upon the stage of action to do anything at all for the advancement of this particular race of ours usually moved in the same rut. No one dared to advance a thought that was distinct and at the same time calculated
to do a world of good for all the Negroes. The chief object sought by the leaders who came previous to five years ago was to get a number of Negroes together and start them in a certain direction, and as long as that set of Negroes would go and accomplish that thing which that one Negro had in mind, he would be perfectly satisfied and the rest of the world could go to Hades. But if this race of ours is to accomplish the purpose for which it has been created, if it is to achieve the 'things whereby we can call for distinction because of our achievements, surely we have got to get out of the rut; and to get out of the rut calls for thinking; and thinking calls for action, and action will beget for a race and the individuals of that race something well worth having in the affairs of mankind.
The Nearest in the World War
When the World War was declared the white man was determined and satisfied that he could settle the war without having any Negroes in it, and he did essay to accomplish something without the Negro. But when the German proved too much for the Allied forces, then it was that the Allies realized the fact that the real power and force, so far as fighting was concerned, rested, not in their fair sons, but rather in the black men of their colonies and their possessions. And, thinking in that direction, they called upon the black men from the West Indies; they called upon the black men from the colonies in Africa. And then, when America joined the ranks, she took up the same kind of cry, that the Allies had and she said, "We will fight this war without the American Negro." But when the battle got hot, and when the German did not respect the American any more than he did the English, any more than he did the French, the Americans said, "We better fall back on that power and force which we know will bring the bacon home." As a result of falling back upon that power, she began to insist and to train her men. She had been training the white man anywhere from six months to a year in camp, but she hustled the Negroes in camp, trained them only for thirty to ninety days, and sent them over the sea; and when she sent them over there, then it was that Negroes, realizing that they were fighting for that which they believed to be a principle, did something in a distinctive manner, and they did it in such a way as to convince the world that the Negro had in him a wonderful power, and all that power needed was simply something by way of manning it. What was the result? The Negro proved himself equal to the task and the World War went into history with this one thing as a recorded fact: that the Negroes, wherever they came from, who took part in the World War, covered themselves with glory.
The Call tionhood
As an outcome of that World War there came upon the scene of action a certain individual who had got out of the rut and who happened to be born in the island of Jamaica. He had climbed out of the rut. In his thinking he was above every other Negro that had ever come upon the stages of action, and that Negro saw the necessity of sending a call that would reach around the world and say to all black men, "You have fought for world democracy; now link up and muster your courage and begin to fight a little bit for your own nationhood." Some of the Negroes heard that call; thousands, yes, millions, of them still are walking along in the rut. But God is to be praised, and you are to be given the glory that some men and some women, yeas about six million of them, in America and the West Indies, have had their eyes opened and they have jumped out of the ruts of life and they make up the advance guard going forward to accomplish something in the interest of nation building. That you represent the advance guard is something worthy of commendation; and the proof that you are in the advance of the other Negroes is to be found in the opposition that you have encountered from time to time.
The Pioneers of Advanced Thought
Friends, don't you know that to be a member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association makes you a marked woman or a marked woman? Everybody knows you, and when you face the world you may rest assured that the people look upon you as having some advanced thought.
Let me give you a concrete illustration to substantiate that position: The President-General, Hon. Marcus Garvey had an invitation from the North Harlem Forum to address them at their place of meeting last Wednesday night. Mr. Garvey, as you know, was out of the city, and he sent me. In the let-
ter that they wrote him they asked him to come and talk on "The Negro and World Peace," and they undercovered the words, "We want your views." The President of the council in introducing me said that the forum was in the habit of having men with all kinds of views come to them who were Radicals, Anarchists and everything else. That was a suggestion to those who were present that they were going to Have some radical views because the Secretary-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association was present. However, I did the best I could. I carried along with me "The Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey," and I quoted from that book very largely and laid the foundation. In that gathering of men you could easily see and understand that they looked for something quite different from the ordinary, coming from a representative of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
Since you are somewhat different from the other Negroes because of your thought, I am saying to you, use your thought in such a way that the world shall understand and know that you possess a power that will not down; a power that is sufficient to overcome every opposition; a power that will say to the world, "You can put everything in my way, but in spite of your outting, we will be able to go through in such a way that the world will realize that men and women who are organized and determined, cannot be successfully defeated, or in any manner turned away from the path of duty."
Garvey Had the Right Vision
I want you to think, and because you are thinking people, I am talking to you in this strain. To prove that the Hon. Marcus Garvey had the right vision, and that he was different from the other Negroes in the thought that he advanced—all the other Negroes had sought to get the Negroes together in a national way, but Marvus Garvey began to think about Africa, and when he thought about Africa he had to think different from any other Negroes. Prior to that, Negroes who thought about Africa only thought about sending a few missionaries there with a hymn book and a Bible and a pint, of something else in the ship pocket; they always carried something in the hip pocket to keep away the fever—so they told you and me; but they hit this so frequently that it was more likely that it gave them the fever than kept away the fever. So they thought they would go in with this idea; but Marcus Garvey came on the scene and he realized the fact that the best way to get to Africa was for Negroes to become interested in the things that would carry them across the waters. He knew that millions of Negroes could not swim across the Atlantic; he knew very well they couldn't build railroads to span the ocean, so thinking ahead of the other Negroes he conceived the idea of a shipping line, and everybody who knew Marcus Garvey began to poke fun and accuse at him, and say that Negro is crazy, who ever heard of Negro running a steamship line! But Marcus Garvey is not as crazy as you thought him to be, because he knew very well that if Africa was to be redeemed, certainly the natives should be stirred and you cannot reach the natives of Africa by sending white missionaries over or a few men and women who go into representing the white man's interests rather than the truth. So, he had in mind a plan that would so stir Africa up, that the natives would become awake and when they became awake they would stand up like awakening giants and begin to stretch forth their hands, and in the soil—thing forth of their hands there would come a mighty power, and this power would expel the ingenious alien people from its shores. He was thinking ahead of others, and in this thinking they sought to defeat him and they did everything to destroy the idea; they succeeded in putting him in jail and, at the same time they thought that by putting him in jail they would put out the life of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. But thought will not be downed by men who are not capable of producing a thought. Thought has in the life the power of revealing to the world the secret belofts in the hearts of men; and in this thought there came forth another determination, and as a result of the suspension of the Black Star Line there came into being the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. Out of the rut he began to climb, and being out of the rut he took with him men and women, and on the 13th day of August $30,000 out of the pockets of black men and women were invested in another ship; $30,000 in cash was put into the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, and we paid the first sum on the contract. From that time up to the present $65,000 have been paid by you. Now, only thinking Negroes could do that kind of stuff. Being out of the rut we are determined to put it over, and I am appealing to you in Liberty Hall tonight to rally to the cause and do your share in putting over the program.
MR. BROWN PLEADS FOR CO-OPERATION
Mr. Brown, the newly elected chairman of the board of trustees, made a few brief remarks in which he told of certain plans he had inaugurated and others which he had in mind for the good of the organization and made an appeal for the support and whole-hearted co-operation of the members in the efforts that word being made to put over the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
MON. G. A. WESTON SPEAKS
The last speaker web Men. G. A. Weston, whose remarks were directed toward commenting on a statement made recently at a public forum that "The Negro is a product of his environment." "It is not so much the environment," said Mr. Weston, "as the environed." There was no more corrupt civilization than the one in which Jesus Christ lived, and yet he was not the product of his environment; he carved a new pathway and proved himself to be not subject to environment because he realized that it is not so much the environment that shapes an individual, but it is whether the individual will submit to his environment. Marcus Garvey, the speaker said, was born in an adverse environment, but he refused to become part and parcel of that environment, and so he struck out into the world to reach out for a national home and for the emancipation of a race.
Carving a New Path
Continuing, Mr. Weston said: Too many of us are willing to render eye service as against idealism. Only two Sunday nights ago I heard from this rostrum the president general himself declare that "Marcus Garvey will die, but the principles of the Universal Neo-Gro improvement Association must live on." Do you know why these principles must live on forever? It is because an individual who was environed refused to be subject to his environment and struck out and carved a new path and left the footprints on the sands of time in order that posterity may follow therein. It proves to you, there-
Legion Notes of Interest
Legion Notes of Interest
By MAJOR H. VINTON: PLUMMER.
Adjutant General
We are in receipt of a very flattering report by Brig. Gen. Jacob D. Chambers, president of East St. Louis division, No. 226, of the interest taken in the work by the various uniformed units. He reports the Black Cross Nurses doing excellent work and are receiving regular instruction in first aid work and nursing.
We are sorry the nurses are to lose the services of their efficient leader, Mrs. S. C. Johnson, who has had twenty-five years' practical experience as a trained nurse. Her services rendered to the unit is commendable. The appointment of Cohnel S. L. Stubbs as colonel of the regiment is a good one, he having the former training in the United States army. He will be communicated with officially in a few days.
What is the matter with Springfield, Ohio, uniform ranks? Co-operation under constituted authority will surely bring you out on top. The uniformed units or legions are only a part of the membership of a division, chapter on branch and therefore should not and can not interfere in any way with the regular work of the division under its president. The president of a division is ex-officio a brigadier general of the uniform units, and should have the cooperation of his staff and line officers who have actual command of the companies or units, respectively. The president of a division does not attempt to interfere with the actual drilling or training of the men or women of the uniform ranks; that is left to his comnels, captains, lieutenants, sergeants, corporals and instructors in the drill manual and first aid training. But, on the other hand, the president of a division has a general supervision over all units for the good and welfare of his division and he alone is held responsible to the president general of the U. N. L. A., keeping in mind that all members of the uniformed units are still members, financial members of the division. Let's have peace at this time not war, that may come later.
Sergeant Major Nibbett of Columbus Ohio, Division No. 152, sends in a splendid account of its Legion's meeting in Liberty Hall on last Sunday. An excellent program was rendered, with Leutenant Earl Goldman master of ceremonies. After selections by the Universal Rand, an appeal, for the Motor Corps was led by Mrs. Minnie Walls and by Mrs. Margaret Bryant, head of Black Cross Nurses. The executive secretary of the division, Mr. V. D. O. Christian, spoke on "Bronte Love," and Sergeant Major Nibbett on "The Use of Soldiers," Mr. Utah Johson, executive secretary from the Midtown Division, was a welcomes visitor, and addressed the meeting, Mr. Z. G. Burroughs, president of the division, is to be congratulated on his executive ability in creating the interest and unity that he has in his division, and especially among the uniformed ranks.

form, that no matter what the surroundings of the Nile in the United States may be or the degree in the West Indies or in other parts of the world may be, you are not to be subject to your environment, but stand up like men and carve a new way in the world and reach out and take hold of an ideal and objective and carry on in the face of opposition.
The Triumph of the H..N..J.A.
The Trump of the U. N. I. A.
So that no matter what the world says about the Universal Negro Improvement Association, no matter how they crack their ribald jeets at Marcus Garvey and the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, one of these days, as they throw their ribald jeets at Booker T. Washington, and as they cracked their ribald jeets at Frederick Douglas when he caused the foundation of two continents to quake under the weight of his oratory and laid the foundation for the emancipation of the Negroes in this country, so will Marcus Garvey and the ideals of the Universal Negro Improvement Association triumph and men and women will be rocking to those ideals.
In conclusion, Mr. Weston said there are men and women in the Universal Negro Improvement Association that have not "bent the knee to Baal," knowing that they would by so doing destroy the ideals and objectives of this great movement, because they realize that never in the history of the world has an anyman been offered to Negroes until the ideals and objectives of this great institution came into being. There are men and women, he continued, in
Football Classic Permanent In Colored Colleges
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Before the largest audience ever assembled at a Howard-Lincoln game in Washington, loyal followers of the two outstanding colleges in America specializing in the training of colored youth, Lincoln broke the 6-to-6 tie of last year at Philadelphia. Pa., by an overwhelming victory of 31 to 6.
The invaders brought down a smooth-working machine from Pennsylvania, which was headlined by the inimitable "Jazz" Byrd, the greatest broken field runner to "strut" the gridron since the days of "Fritz" Pollard. The "Bison" were equally spectacular in the variety and effectiveness of plays, but were unable to match the "Lion" in the speed of their backfield offense or in the power of their forward line.
Lincoln scored in every period except the final quarter. In the first quarter, after Howard had held Lincoln for down on her six-yard line and Dodson had pointed out of danger to his forty-yard line, Goodman, Lincoln, heaved an eighteen-yard forward pass to Lancaster, who traced across the goal line for the first touchdown. Crudup added the extra unit by a placement kick.
In the second quarter, after a touchdown was ruled out because Crudup had stepped out of bounds, Goodman tossed a pass to Crudup, who was brought down on Howard's one-yard line. Taylor took the ball over. Crudup too made the count 14 to 0. Three minutes late Lancaster picked up a fumble on Howard's forty-seven-yard line and sprinted across the goal line. Another goal after touchdown made the count 21 to 0. Lincoln was holding Bird, their star performer, in reserve for the second half.
Immediately after the second score in this quarter, McLean received the kick-off for Howard and ran it back thirty-eight yards. He was brought down by Byrd, the safety man, after eluding the entire forward defense. Two passes, McLean to Braden, netted forty-seven yards and planted the pick-skin on Lincoln's one-yard line. An off-side penalty against Howard at this point robbed the "Bison" of an almost sure touchdown.
In the third quarter: Lincoln added 10 points to her total in way of the placement kick route by Crudup from the twenty-two-yard line and a spectacular end run of forty-nine yards by Byrd. Crudup kicked the final point from placement with Byrd holding the ball.
Many substitutions were made by both teams in the fourth quarter. Howard's players seemed to recover their pulse and fought off every attempt of the Lincolnites to score. Byrd made two sensational runs during this period, but Howard's new end was too alert to let him break through. The final score was: Lincoln, 31; Howard, 0. Byrd and Lancaster excelled for Lincoln, while McLean and Brooks stood out for Howard.
After the game the Howard rabblers formed a "solid phalanx and marched around the field several times in order to demonstrate to the multitude that the "good old Howard spirit" still survived in defeat as well as in victory.

LET'S PUT IT OVER
PRESIDENT COOLIDGE URGES ECONOMY IN PUBLIC EXPENDITURES
PRESIDENT COOLIDGE is nothing if not a New Englander who inherited the saving habit of industry and thrift. He has the mind that it is little worth while to make a dollar and spend a dollar and one cent. Have you a different mind about it? We think not. We do not think there is a member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association who thinks that it is the proper thing to spend more than he makes or to save nothing of what he makes. If you are in a position where you need all you make to live you are necessarily in a position which you want to get out of, if you can, as millions of Europeans and Asiatics have been doing and striving to do during the past half century, and as thousands of West Indians and Southern State Negroes have been doing during the past ten years, and will continue to do during the ensuing ten years, as opportunity will allow. The hope is, the urge is, to better their condition.
It appears to be a law of social economics that if you are not satisfied in the place where you are, go where you can be satisfied. The pioneers who blazed the wilderness and developed the spaces of the United States were animated by that spirit.
President Coolidge believes in work and wages and in economy in managing what you earn. It is a New England habit. Necessarily he would carry the same principle into his conduct of the public business that he carries into his own. The keynote of his occupancy of the White House has been reduction in taxation and economy in the appropriation and expenditure of public moneys. He was elected in a landslide because the people believed that he was sincere. His first message to Congress bears out the hope of the people, as he urges the principle with the simple earnestness that must command respect.
In another part of The Negro World today we give those parts of President Coolidge's message which appeal most directly to us. We believe he means the Negro people well, and we are disposed to give him credit for that and for what he may do for the nation and for the Negro people that is good and helpful.
A BLACK MAN WHO HAS CONQUERED WITH THE WITCHERY OF SONG
CARNEGIE HALL is a large place, but it was none too large for the multitude that gathered Friday night, November 28 to hear Roland Hayes sing. In all that vast auditorium we saw just two vacant seats, whose destined occupants were probably too sick to get to the hall. The parquet floor was filled, the three balconies were filled, and the stage itself was so crowded that there was hardly room for the singer and the piano.
We took our seats some time before the program began, thus we had a good look at the audience. We saw them filing in, people from all the higher walks of life, people with every racial strain in this cosmopolitan city. Editors, critics, artists, bakers, brokers, society leaders, all were coming to sit for two hours and hear a young black man sing. Our minds flew back over the years. Two decades ago such an audience could not have been collected to see a Negro attempt serious art. For clog dancing, banjo playing, or blackface comedy, yes; but not to hear classical music from a black mouth. In that day a Roland Hayes would have had to waste his sweetness on the desert air. In spite of discouragements here and there, the public attitude toward the Negro has changed decidedly. These well-bred, whispering thousands—would to God that John Brown and Garrison had lived to see them!
Suddenly the whispering was drowned in a wave of applause. Roland Hayes appeared on the stage, graceful and springy and too healthily black to be called anything but a Negro.
He began with a Bach song and followed it with Beethoven, Handel, Brahms and Schubert, all great names in German music. He was applauded again and again, and he deserved it. The German language is very difficult for a non-German to sing. Its chief sounds are rough consonants which can hardly be made to sound musical, and its dipthongs are difficult to pronounce and more difficult to sing. Roland Hayes with his soft, rich voice, took the harshness out of the consonants better than anyone we had ever heard. Even he, however, had a little trouble with the "ch," which we defy any singer, even a German, to make musical. Words like "doch, auch and nicht" are not meant for singing. Long before the late war when there was no violent anti-German feeling, one of our professors at college said, "When you seek clarity, talk French; in singing, use Italian; woo your sweetheart in Spanish; when you shout at your horse or dog, speak German." All the more honor to Roland Hayes, that he can sing sweetly in such a language. The next part of the program brought even more applause than the first. Two songs made from Shakespeare's lyrics, one of them the famous "Blow, Blow, Thou Wintry Wind," were very well received, and so was a fine bit by Rachmaninoff. But the great hit was an extract from Odisis Khayyam set to music by an Italian, Nicolquido. There may have been some virtue in the composer's voice, which means "holy water." At any rate Hayes sang it wonderfully. Italian is the singing language, and as Hayes sang we mastered of the Metropolitan Opera House. No Italian could
have sung it better. The audience applauded so joyously that he had to repeat it. In the midst of our rapture one comical thought kept recurring to our minds: "What a triangle! A Persian poem sung in Italian by an American Negro." Surely "the world do move."
We must pause here to say a word for William Lawrence, who accompanied Hayes on the piano. Any singer will tell you that a good accompanist is hard to find. Too often he tries to show the audience how well he can play, and thus takes their attention from the singer. We have heard performances, especially in opera, in which the accompanists, almost or quite drowned the singer's voice. But William Lawrence is perfect. He never obtrudes upon the singer; he seconds him ably and intelligently.
For the last division of the program Hayes turned to Negro spirituals. He was in his native idiom there and he scored heavily. He sang five of them, then the audience drew a rapturous breath as he said he would sing "Deep River," the greatest of them all.
THE CHILD IS TO THE MAN THE FATEFUL By T. Thomas
Goldsmith says, "father to the man," said, "My father and There is much conflict we should not forget beginning the "even morning" were couple first and seventh day which would be put first and the last first
As Lawrence struck the first chords we closed our eyes. Out of the darkness floated that golden voice, now brooding, now rising and wailing, poignant with the yearning and tragedy of twelve million souls. We felt their anguish, we heard their heartbeats, we saw their toil-scarred hands outstretched to God. And in this young man, voicing their plea and sorrow to thousands of Americans, we saw their dreams beginning to come true. As he had sung in one of the German songs, "Suffering is the lover's part," so suffering is his race's part; but out of that suffering something will come to enrich his country and humanity forever.
GREAT BRITAIN DEFIES THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS IN THE EGYPTIAN USURPATION
GREAT BRITAIN has for the moment secured peaceable control of the government of Egypt, by having a complacent king and a subservient minister to do its bidding, but the British are very uneasy. Why should they not be? The Christian sentiment of the world, the independent sentiment, has condemned the high-handed way in which Great Britain has trampled upon the National rights of the Egyptian people, and ridden roughshod over the black people of the Sudan country, and the people of Asia and Africa alike have shown a discontent at the imperialistic methods of Great Britain which bodes no good for the peace of the world. It is difficult for any nation to outrage the decent opinion of the world and escape with it.
Great Britain has not only flouted the Geneva Protocol but it has given notice to the League of Nations that while it appeals to it to confirm what it has done in Egypt it will not tolerate interference. It claims rights in Egypt which are easily subject to dispute, and which Egyptian radicals do dispute, such rights as other small and large nations may be confronted with, and if the League of Nations has no power to deal with them, the peace of the world will be precisely at the place it was before the World War made scraps of paper of international treaties and good faith of nations. We are right back where a small spark may kindle a great war.
Great Britain, France, Italy and Spain are all having trouble with their African subjects, because their African subjects have been aroused to the fact that the white man's primary aim is to conquer and rule them for civil and economic advantages in which their rights and interests are ignored. France, perhaps, is the best and most generous of them all in her colonial policies, but even this fairness is being questioned of late, which places the French administration on the defensive.
The Universal Negro Improvement Association believes that agitation is the breath of social, civil and economic life, and that each people is entitled to rule itself and enjoy all of the advantages of its social, civil and economic life. There is no more reason why white Americans and Europeans should rule and tax without representation Africans and Asiatics than that these should rule and tax white Americans and Europeans. The rule that works only one way and always against the one in favor of the other is a bad and dangerous rule. The white races do not think so in their dealing with Africans and Asiatics. The necessity is thus created of showing them that the rule is wrong and can only be made to work by the law of might, which is seldom right, and always breaks down in the long run.
EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS
Maybe England will get off with the theft of the Sudan grain fields. Certainly there is nothing in sight to stop it.—Baltimore Afro-American.
The Negro in the United States of America and in almost every community in America has a mighty big job on his hands. If he were not worthy of this big job or capable of doing it he would never have been given it. His job is this: To work out his civic, economic and political salvation in the face of an increasing hostile sentiment and environment. Be the cause whatever it may the fact remains that the job before us is not growing less arduous; but it is our job and we've got to tackle it with a will and with a smile.—Omaha Monitor.
The amount of crime is governed partly by the old principle of "given an inch, took an ell." Society must erect barriers, and impose restraints against crime.—Louisville Leader.
The completion of the new home for Negro orphans marks a better day for these unfortunate children and real progress in the spirit of Indianapolis.-Indianapolis Freeman.
A man's religion is a personal right, for every man should serve God according, to the dictates of his own conscience. A man's color is a divine right, for it has pleased Him to create man in His own image. Therefore, religious and color intolerance are violations of the rights of man, and question the prerogatives of God.-St. Louis Argus.
The way to absorb that population without shock to the community is not by any foolish policy of repression but by the enlightened policy of opportunity.-Bullatin-Apeal.
There is a finer spirit of harmony among the Race citizens of Buffalo now, than ever before in its history. Many endeavors which can not be achieved by individuals will now be brought to pass by group action. Let every thoughtful person lend his energy for a bigger and better Buffalo for the Race—Buffalo American. Education has placed the standard as high that fraud is easily detected; and the Negro people, as well as all other people, will find it difficult from now on to blind by: you must either proclaim the good or step aside for those who can measure up to the requirements—Newport News Star. Central punishment, like other forms.
of punishment, has never succeeded in preventing the recurrence of the offense. What the State owes to society and the criminal is preventive and curative treatment rather than punitive—Cleveland Call.
The time is fast approaching and the thoughtful element of both races seem to agree, that the usefulness of a large number of the latter day educators "from the North" who are holding positions in Negro institutions, is about at an end. Tennessee News. The greatest question that confronts the world today is not disarmament only that physical action represents an international willingness to quit killing; not treaties, except as the signatures thereto spring from the wishes of the respective peoples to declare for peace. Whenever there is developed the mind for peace there will come peace of mind for all mankind. Forces at work in the world today appear to be furthering the cause of peace. Such efforts reflect what is taking place in the human breast. War is becoming more unpopular, because the mind of man can see no lasting good in it. The conscription of wealth as well as of flesh will cause the turning of selfish ambition into an unselfish reality that war can bring no good.—Tampa Bullet.
Preparing for the Meeting Of Negro Press Gang
St. Louis, Mo. (Special).—Continued plans for the entertainment of the newspapermen that are to gather here in February are well under way. Mr. J. E. Mitchell, the chairman of the Executive Committee of the National Negro Press Association and editor of the St. Louis Argus, of this city, has already begun, work among the local business and professional men of the city to give a cordial reception to the visiting editors, managers and representatives. While no definite plans have been announced as to what the local committee would do, it is believed here that the sessions are to be held in the Argus Hall on the third floor of the Argus Building and that night sessions and special meetings will be held at the Poro College and at some of the churches.
Editors from New England, from the North and extreme-West and South have certified to Chairman Mitchell
THE CHILD IS FATHER TO THE MAN IN THE FATEFUL EVEN.
Goldsmith says, "The child is father to the man," and Jesus said, "My father and I are one." There is much conflict here, but we should not forget that in the beginning the "evening and the morning" were counted as the first and seventh day, inclusive, which would be putting last first first and the last first in that and most of the other relations of spiritual and material matter. And that has always been the way with human life, although it has not been so understood. That is to say, we back up to instead of approaching things by the front way. It is a difficult matter to understand, if we do not consider that a wise man always knows the end of any calculation he may make from the ending to the beginning, and reversely. If he did not know his starting point would be ignorant of his ending point. If we do not figure from the beginning to the ending we shall get nowhere, because there is a beginning and an ending in every figuration. If not the figuration is false and the conclusion will be confusing if not disastrous.
In dealing with the child it is always a fact that he will grow to manhood by the rule of conduct he has had in childhood. The men who become distinguished in a large or small way are seldom from among children whose education was neglected and who were to run wild. Sometimes it happens that children reared in the best conditions go wrong, but it is seldom so; it is also true that the wayward girl or boy, who disregarded parental influence for good and associated with the bad boys and girls, turn out to be good and useful citizens, but most of them go to the bad and fetch up in the clutches of the law. There are plenty of men who have come out of lowly and untoward conditions of home and association who have attained to the highest success, but they were the exceptions. We cannot get an average of such people in the limited number of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglasses or the Samuel Chapman Armstrongs and Booker T. Washington the nation has produced. They do not average, because they are exceptions and cannot be relied upon to reproduce their kind. The reduction, or increase and decrease, comes by other agency than mankind has controlled, as far as we have information.
We all know of many families that have died out entirely. This often happens in the third generation. Some men have no children and the name is erased from the book of life; others have only daughters and the name and estates go to the daughters and the name is erased in their marriages. But the supreme test comes when the father and son are born in the same person and there is no oneness of them, but strife; that is the most miserable of human beings, and all the more so because the father and son have seldom come to type as one in the history of mankind. When it has happened there has always been infinite confusion, often involving all mankind.
We all love our children, and we often spoil the man or woman because we love the children too much. We must love them for their good, and there is no good in allowing the child to master the father and mother in so far as to have its own way when that way is not good for it. The child always succeeds the father as the son. The son inherits from the father but the father does not inherit from the son. We should be careful, therefore, in training the son to succeed the father, because we do not know what manner of man any child born may turn out to be.
that B. J. Davis their plan to be present, Mr. B. J. Davis, the president of the association, believes that it will be a general awakening of interest in jerusalem, now that the national election is out of the way. The president believes that the members of the press will take advantage of this period.
Disappoint, perplexing and wild had the dream been,
Mingled with much that embitters this life;
Tolls, callous friends, petty care, and the last scenes,
Wranglings with men whose sole passion is strife.
But some that change in my vision, soft, bringing
Anodyne blest, are my spirit could fall
As, when the chill blasts of black storms are ringing
Orders of ravaged blooms' breath on the gale.
New York Urban
The New York Urban League was represented at the annual conference of the National Urban League meeting in Cleveland last week by James H. Hubert., executive secretary, and Miss Eva D. Bowles, secretary of the executive board. Among other New Yorkers attending the conference is Mrs. Mable D. Keaton, executive secretary of the Harlem Tuberculosis Association.
The League is planning to extend its program more definitely to the Columbus Hill section. The Association for Improving Conditions of the Poor has offered room for office space in the building of the Henrietta Day School, at 228 West 63d street. It is hoped that an office will be opened around the first of January.
Applications are being received for children's toys for Xmas, such as are usually distributed by various organizations through the Urban League; persons wishing same should leave their names and addresses at the office as early as possible.
Department of Negro Literature and Art
On Tuesday evening, December 16, a meeting will be held in the library to discuss plans for forming a department of Negro art, literature and life in this branch of the New York Public Library. Such prominent people as Mr. Arthur Schomberg, Dr. George Haynes, Mr. E. K. Jones, Mrs. E. P. Roberts, Mr. James Weldon Johnson and others as well known are interested in this effort. Miss Rose, the librarian, extends a hearty invitation to all who are interested to attend this meeting and take part in it.
The following of new books in the library: May Johnston, "The Slave Ship"; Hugh Wiley, "The Prowler"; S. E. White, "The Glory Hole"; Basil King, "Bible and Common Sense"; Shaller Mathews, Contribution of Science to Religion; P. H. Boynton, "Some Contemporary Americans"; the Life of Francis Wilson; Hayward, "The Retail Handbook"; John Farrar, "The Literary Spotlight"; J. A. Stewart, "Robert Louis Stevenson", a critical biography.
New York Academy Of Business Notes
Miss Grace Michael, Miss Hattie Smith, of Virginia, are the new students registered at the academy during the past week. All the eligible students are taking a keen interest in the State Civil Service examination for clerks and others, to be held on December 13. Saturday, November 29, Miss Petrose, assisted by Miss Jesse Edwards and others, will serve as hostesses to the regular school party and dance. Miss Clundie's party was held Saturday, November 22. It was very well attended.
READ ONE GOOD BOOK A WEEK
IF YOU CAN
We need more reading, more understanding of that which concerns us most. We live next door to public libraries and it's surprising how little we know of human experience, thought knowledge. Why do we read? We read primarily to think; good reading is to our brain what good food is to our muscles, what we think depends upon what we read and hear. Let us read good books so we may have good thoughts, higher ideals and a better conception of life and the reason why we are here. We have no excuse for not knowing the things we ought to know in this free country, free schools and with access to the public library. We should try to read one good book a week, read good novels, encourage your children to read and to read the lives of our great men to serve as an inspiration to you and your children as well. No doubt if your children would read of the early days of Booker T. Washington, Frederick Douglass and many others who were born in the obscure days of slavery and became prominent in the achievements among men, no doubt it would be an inspiration for the young man of today to try and improve his time and prepare, because who knows when the day will come that he or she will be called upon to fill some position of honor and trust. If we are weighed in the balance let us be found not wanting.
Many of us have never had the advantages of schooling but there is plenty of opportunity to attend school if not by day you can by night. "Knowledge is power" and "He that hath knowledge let him teach it to others." Let us begin this week with the reading of some good book. If it is difficult for you to read join some night school class and begin to improve yourself.
HEALTH TOPICS
By DR. B. S. HERBEN,
of the New York Tuberculosis Asn*
Pop-Over People
Pop-overs are over-infated, and, while they taste good with plenty of butter, they really do not have much substance and you can take care of half a dozen or more without a sign of indigestion. Pop-over people might be those who have undue self-esteem.
But the type of pop-over people I am talking of today is different. These people are "pop-over" with the accent on the "pop." They are explosive and uncertain. In other words, nervous and flighty and hard to deal with, at times. Their little mannerisms of fidgetiness seem at first barely noticeable, then amusing, then disagreeable, and at last unbearable.
I recall a person whose unconscious movements are amusing, and of all the signs of nervousness the most amusing one eventually "drove me distracted." It was this: The right hand invariably held a handkerchief or a piece of paper wadded into a ball. Constantly the thumb started it to rolling in the palm and the tireless, thin fingers continued the movement. Over and over went the ball. It suggested nothing so much as chewing a cud by hand. And as such was laughable, but, oh!—how irritating it finally became!
The best of friends and the most affectionate of relatives will react to such manifestations. It makes them cross. It makes them unkind and unsympathetic.
Do not allow yourself to develop mannerisms. The most attractive of them become obnoxious in time. They are usually symptoms of lack of pulse, over-fatigue, an admission of a lack of confidence or a sign of some disease. If you have any, exercise your self-control and stop them at once. Another important point: Remember that over-fatigue is not always manifested by a sense of weariness and a desire to do nothing. The worst forms of over-fatigue may show "too much pep"—an over-stimulation, sometimes manifested by nervous movements or by over-talking or by feverish interest in ordinary affair. If mannerisms are due to over-fatigue you must rest, often and much. You must cut down on the ordinary schedule of duties and lay aside some of the responsibilities you have been carrying. All this to avoid a permanent and serious nervous condition.
Yale Astronomer to Study Heavens at Cape Town
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Dec. 3.—When Prof. Frank Schlesinger, director of Yale University observatory, leaves New York for London on his way to South Africa he will take with him the lenses of the new telescope which is to be set up at Cape Town for a study of the heavens of the Southern Hemisphere. The telescope, now set up in Mason Laboratory, has been tested for accuracy and stability. It will be dismantled and shipped without delay.
STOP USING CHILDREN A8 BEG
GARB FOR CHARITY
From the Kansas City Call
Children gather funds for various good causes, a most commendable thing to do. But sometimes they use methods which ought not to obtain. Begging for the Junior Cross is not giving to that charity. A nickel earned by running an errand, or doing a chore, and then given, is a real gift. A gift which is made possible by some one else's industry, and represents only the boy's willingness to beg hurts him and charity gets but a fraction of what he will cost in after life, through his lowered standards. Society cannot afford to have its young people learn any other habits of life than industry, thrift, honesty, purpose and service. It takes them all to make a fully rounded character. Begging is like gambling—it substitutes a short-cut full of weaknesses, for the sure-fire, long-tried experience of mankind that labor is the basis of success. Begging is labor of a sort, but who wants to be a beggar?
Church and school efforts that have made children cheapen themselves by collecting money through begging, using penny cards, selling tickets and the like, have done more damage by the habits they have encouraged than they have done good by the procepts they teach. Educators and ministers are false to a trust when they think their work so valuable that any method of securing its sustenance is justified because they want to do good. Infamous infall in heaven but in this practical world, only that is worth while which gives a greater benefit than is effect by shortterm exposure. Kenneke City College

On the 4th of November, the case of Captain E. L. Gaines, against the Universal Negro Improvement Association, in which he sued the association for $12,208.26, was called before Mr. Justice Ford in the Supreme Court in the County of New York.
Mr. Taussig, of Mosars, Avery, Taussig and Flake, represented the plaintiff, and Marcus Garvey, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, represented the defendant organization.
Captain Gaines sued the organization, claiming that he was entitled to a maximum salary of $3,500.00 per year. The association disclaimed the liability, stating that Captain Gaines held office at a minimum salary as was voted by the convention of 1921.
The trial continued through the 18th, 19th, 20th, to the 21st. Much against the charge of the learned judge, the jury, who seemed to be prejudiced against the association, brought in a verdict for $6,608.44 for Captain Gaines. The association is appealing against the judgment.
Following are the summations of Mr. Tausig and Mr. Garvey, representatives of plaintiff and defendant, respectively, and the charge of the judge. In another issue of this paper we will publish the testimony on both sides:
E. L. Gaines vs. Universal Negro Improvement Association.
Mr. Garvey's Address to the Jury Gentlemen of the jury:
I do not intend to weary you with a long summation, because you have listened carefully and attentively to the testimony in the case before you for trial. You are the absolute judge of this case, but before you make up your minds I want to impress you with the seriousness of the situation, in that the defendant in this action is not merely a commercial defendant, but is a defendant with a spiritual object, and this plaintiff was a member of this defendant and so to serve this defendant and abide by its constitution and laws, not only by lip service, but with his whole life, fortune, and all that he had in him, he swore to give it to the defendant in this case.
The constitution that is in evidence reveals that the promise of the association explains the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, as "to social, friendly, humanitarian, charitable, educational, institutional, constructive and expansive society, and is founded by persons desiring to the utmost to work
for the general uplift of the Negro peoples of the world. And the members pledge themselves to do all in their power to conserve the rights of their noble race and to respect the rights of all mankind, believing always in the Brotherhood of Man and the Fatherhood of God. The motto of the organization is, 'One God, One Alm, One Destiny.' Therefore let justice be done to all mankind, realizing that if the strong oppresses the weak, confusion and discontent will ever mark the path of man, but with love, faith and charity towards all, the reign of peace and plenty will be heralded into the world and the generations of man shall be called blessed."
I will read briefly the objects of the association in the same constitution, Section 8, "Objects and Aims":
"The objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League shall be: to establish a Universal confraternity among the race; to promote the spirit of pride and love, to reclaim the fallen, to administer to and assist the needy, to assist in civilizing the backward tribes of Africa; to assist in the development of independent Negro nations and communities, to establish commissionaries or agencies in the principal countries and cities of the world for the representation and protection of all Negroes, irrespective of nationality; to promote a conscientious spiritual worship among the native tribes of Africa; to establish universities, colleges, academies, and schools for the racial education and culture of the people; to conduct a world-wide commercial and industrial intercourse for the good of the people, to work for better conditions in all Negro communities."
Gentlemen, for me to point out to you that we do not owe the plaintiff the amount claimed here, we desire to show that this plaintiff swore to abide by the constitution. In that constitution there is a maximum and minimum salary laid out by the law that governs each and every officer, and when this officer was elected on one occasion, and then appointed on another, he swore by an oath to abide by this constitution in which a minimum and maximum salary was laid down, and this was his oath: "I, E. L. Gaines, do solemnly and sincerely declare that I shall obedient to the constitution and by-laws of the Universal Negro Improvement: Association, and to the commands of the executive council. I shall obey, those in authority over me and perform all those duties assigned
go to the best of my ability. I shall uphold and support the Declaration of Rights. I shall not encourage the enemies of the cause of African Redemption. I shall refuse to associate with those who may be proven enemies of the cause of this organisation. I shall uphold its principles everywhere and at all times. The cause of this organisation shall come first to me in my deliberations. Should I fail this cause, may the Almighty Architect fail me in the purpose of life. To this cause do I pledge my life and my fortune for a free and redeemed Africa. Being therefore in possession of all my senses, I subscribe my name and endeavour myself in the presence of all those assembled and Almighty God to serve the Universal Negro Improvement Association faithfully. So help me God." E. L. Galnes, 1920, and again in 1921 and 1922, when he was appointed Minister of Legions under the new amendment of the constitution.
To expedite your conclusion, gentlemen, I prepared a tabulation of our claim. The general claim to the general denial, and the counter claim as a separate cause of action. You have heard witnesses testify to these various amounts that I will read to refresh your memory:
Items of payment claimed by defendant, United Nero Improvement Association, made to E. L. Gaines, plaintiff, including $1,666.66, counter claim:

I have also prepared an analysis showing the period of time that Gaines worked. He claimed before this court that we owe him salary as from November, 1920, to July, 1924; then he came on the stand himself and proved that he was paid up to January 15, 1922; so that we take absolutely no cognisance of any amounts he is claiming beyond January 15, 1922. We are basing our defense on monies we have paid him from January 15 to June 15, 1924, when he was dismissed from the association.
That is clearly understood, I feel sure, in the minds of the jury, that he admitted himself that Garcia, who made entries, came and said Gaines was paid up to January 15, 1922. His attorney got him to state on cross-examination that he was paid up to January 15, 1922; so there is absolutely no dispute about our owing him anything so touching the period before January 15, 1922; so that you will focus your minds on his employment to us.
o from the 10th of January, 1898, to
the 18th of June, 1924.
Now, gentlemen, we have raised the question as supported by our constitution in evidence about the maximum and minimum. We have also allowed you that in 1931 a law was passed by the convention fixing the salaries of officials at a maximum and a minimum, and this man swore, and took the oath after that law was passed to abide by the constitution; and again in September, 1933, he in the executive council, as a member, agreed to by the unanimous adoption of a resolution that the law should apply to and affect his salary, and all the other officers, as from the time the law was passed; so Games owes us money, even though in 1931 and 1932, under the minimum, because he was paid above, the minimum from 15th up to the time of the 15th of January, 1922, so that, when we come to calculate, you have to figure and see whether by law, by right, by justice, this defendant is entitled even to more consideration than we are claiming, in that the man himself, apart from the resolution, agreed to the terms of employment.
With men of the type of Gaines, Garcia, DeBourg and Anderson, do you wonder that Marcus Garvey stands convicted before you wherein he is head of the organization wherein such men are members who take money, spend it, and do not report? Can any corporation exist? And if a corporation falls for taking people's money, who is held responsible but the head of the organization? Is he not held responsible for the conduct of those subordinates? When he is hailed before the court, what will the court say? The subordinate is not responsible—the president should have acted. And you heard the lawyer question the witness on the stand and ask him if he was convicted for using the mails to defraud. It is no wonder if tomorrow morning that Marcus Garvey is indicted for using the mails to defraud.
What account can Galnes give for the wilful dissipation and waste of the people’s money for which he is held responsible? He can resign. But can Garvey resign? Garvey has to remain and face the battle—five, ten or twenty years—after such aoundreels are gone. And if Garvey he indicted twenty years from now, what apology can he make to the court—that Ganes was there in 1920 and pocketed the people’s money and said I got it? Can I give that excuse to the court and the jury if I was indicted twenty years from now? This analysis, gentleman, if the court will permit, I will give for the convenience of the jury, shocking the facts of the defense as laid before you. We have arranged here a maximum at $3,000 per year from November, 1920, to June 15, 1924, at $3,000. We have also arranged a minimum for the same period, which would be $1,500 from November, 1920, to June, 1924. Then we again have a maximum from November 1, 1920, to August 81, 1922, at $3,000; and then a maximum of $3,500 from September 1, 1922, to June 15, 1924, to suit his convenience, so that you will be able to arrive at a conclusion by having something to work on. And then we have a statement showing you the minimum for that period; and then we show $3,000 from 1920 to September, 1923, when he took up office in Chicago as president of the Chicago division, remaining so from December 23 to June, 1924; so that he did work as minister of legions up to December, 1923, and then as president of Chicago to June, 1924. You will have all that before you to come to a proper conclusion. We have given you the maxi-

mum and the minimum rate, therefore, so that you can find either for the defendant in the one way or the plaintiff in the maximum as shall be proved to you.
Now, gentlemen, the question' of the constitution came up, and we want to bring that before you, because this is really, where, you have to decide whether this man is entitled to a maximum or a minimum. We have read to you the amendment to the constitution again in 1921: 'The order of the day (August 19, 1921. continued). Honorable R. Austin, of Brooklyn, N. Y., sponsored the following resolution: 'Be it resolved, That the salaries of all elected members to the positions of officers in the high executive council be regulated at a minimum and a maximum. The minimum to be fifty per cent less than the maximum. That said officers shall commence their duties at the minimum salary, which shall be raised from time to time, according to the com

two or three years hence. Look at Garcia, who had the books of the corporation in his hands, issuing a loan book for himself without telling anyone about it. He did not make it out until when he was going so he could sue the organization. Men who have sworn their lives, their fortunes, their all, to uphold the constitution of the organization.
I feel, gentlemen, you have hardly any doubt about these minutes. The constitution speaks for itself, the same constitution in evidence is the law. The State of New York may pass a law, the law probably has been passed since 1922. Simply because it is not circulated if you should violate the law do you think it would mean that you are not liable to the jurisdiction of the court. The law is there, and it is the law under which you are governed, so that is immaterial, and I trust you will pay absolute no attention to it whether it was printed in The Constitution of 1921, 1922, or 1923, or 1930. It is immaterial, the fundamental law is there.
The power of the President-General was questioned. What right had he to dismiss Gaines or do other things. We will read the duties of the President-General, and Administrator, section 14, page 17, of the Constitution in evidence. "President-General and Administrator." Gentlemen, I told sure you know the complete meaning of the world Administrator. "The President-General and Administrator shall be the working head of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, and he shall be held responsible to the Potentate for the entire working, and carrying out of all commands. He shall attend Convention and make a speech in reply

Will You Give Me a Chance to Pay You $100 a Week?
Have you ever heard of Comer Tongues and Raincoats? They are advertised in the leading magazines. Think of a shirt coat that can be worn all over round. A good looking, stylish coat that's for summer or winter that keeps out wind, rain or snow, a coat that everybody should have, made of fine materials for men, women and children, and sells for less than the price of an ordinary cost. Now, Comer Coats are not sold except for all our orders, come through our own expressment. Within the next few months we will pay our representatives more than three hundred thousand dollars, for sending us orders.

pence and service of the individuals, on the recommendation of the president-general and administrator of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to the council assembled in regular session. The bill shall require a two-thirds majority vote of the members of the council present to carry it. The Hon. Allan Hobb, Norfolk, Va., seconded the resolution. It was then put to the house, and after much debate, pro and con, it was carried by a majority vote.
The plaintiff has not shown anything that from that law was passed in 1921 that the President-General ever called a special meeting of the council to raise his salary, but, remember gentlemen, he signed the new contract in the month of August, 1921, therefore, he was employed by that convention at the minimum. That was the contract, he was employed at the minimum to earn the maximum. Nowhere is it shown that the maximum was ever granted him by the President-General in executive council or the President-General personelle. The burden of proof rests on him, therefore.
Then we take another meeting of the Executive Council held September 29, 1923, where this very man Galanos was present, where he said some very good things about himself, he said he remembered that, but when he came down to the resolution which he did him down he said, "I do not remember anything."
We introduced witnesses to prove that this meeting was held, minutes were taken, and the minutes are here gentlemen. There was some confusion as to who moved the motion; that is immaterial, the resolution was moved and carried. These men put in a word here and there to suit themselves, having in mind what they intended to do.
I want to make you a special offer whereby you can earn from $100 to $1,000 a month cash. And I am going to tell you how to get started immediately without waiting or delay.
You can be your own boss. You can work just as many hours a day as you please. You can start when you want to and quit when you want to. You don't need experience and you get your money in cash every day when you earn it.
These Are Fact...
Does that sound too good to be true? If it does then let me tell you about Professor W. J. McCray. His regular job paid him only $2.00 a day. He accepted my offer. I gave him the same chance I am now offering you. At this new work he has made $16.800 in three years. If that isn't enough, then let me tell you about Spencer Warren. Here are just a few of the big promises a profitee can make my proposal to me. $424.82 in September. $400.82 in October. $449.86 in November. E. J.

Well, here is your chance to find out, for this is the same proposition that enabled George Garon
to that of the. Potentate. He shall instruct minor Officers, on their duties, and see that such duties are properly performed. He shall be empowered to exercise a veto power on any financial matter initiated by any individual or by the Executive Council that may tend to jeopardise or ruin the finances of the organization. Such veto power shall only be used by the administrator in financial matters, and where from his best judgment he is convinced that it is not to the best interest of the organization to permit the carrying out of such financial measurer. An appeal may be made to the convention against the veto of the administrator on any measure, and he shall be held responsible to the convention for the exercise of his judgment on the matter."
I need not read further, but I will read another section, 4 of the Constitution, page 7, "Officials, Officers Elections and Appointments." Section 2, "The Offices of the Provisional President of Africa, the President General and Administrator, the First Assistant President-General, the Second Assistant President-General, who shall also be titular leader of American Negroes, the Third Assistant President-General, who shall also be Titular Leader of Negroes of the West Indies, South and Central America; the Fourth Assistant President-General, all of whom shall be elected, and their term of office shall be four years, providing their conduct conform to the best interests of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, Section 2a. All other officers forming the High Executive Council shall be appointed by the President-General.

The most fortunate part is that the Lott Carey board was able to get a man that is a mechanical genius and capable of supervising the industrial program for them.

ATLANTA, Ga.—The Federal Council of Churches, through its Commission on the Church and Race Relations, has designated, February 8, 1826, as Race Relations Sunday, and is asking that the Churches of America dedicate it to the promotion of mutual understanding and good will between the races. The interchange of pulpits between white and colored pastors and speakers, visitation of the churches of the other race, special sermons and addresses on race relations, studies of Negro achievement, poetry and music, and the singing of Negro spirituals are some of the suggestions offered for the observance of the day. Dr. George E. Haynes, secretary of the commission, has prepared a twelve-page pamphlet suggesting programs, themes and hymns appropriate to the occasion. Copies of this pamphlet may be had for five cents each from the Federal Council of Churches, 105 East 22nd street, New York.
Race Relations Sunday was first observed in 1923 and more widely, in 1924. Good results were reported. It is hoped that the third observance of the day in both colored and white churches will be more general than

INSTRUCTIONS FOR MEMBERS OF UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION
1. Be a loyal member by sticking always to the principles of the Association and defending its rights against the enemies of freedom.
2. Pay your dues and annual assessment regularly, so that the Association can have ready capital to carry on its work.
3. Read and study from cover to cover your Constitution, so that no one can take advantage of you by infringing upon your constitutional rights.
4. See to it that your local Secretary makes a monthly report of all moneys received and disbursed, and let him read the copy of his report to the Parent Body and produce receipt of acknowledgment for remittances, so that you can be sure that your Division is financial.
5. See to it that no Officer or anyone starts anything by way of raising money or doing business or creates any financial obligation on the Division without the proper consent first of the Parent Body and members of the Division at a special general meeting duly and properly called.
6. Look out always for sharpers and self-seekers, who are always anxious to promote new schemes for their own purposes.
7. Put down at all times disloyalty to the Parent Body from Officers or members.
9. Don't loan your money to individuals.
10. Don't take anything for granted. You must be shown.
11. Don't go into anything you don't understand.
12. Don't pay your money to anyone except a duly elected or credited Officer of the Association.
13. Don't entertain anyone as a representative of the Parent Body except the person can show you credentials properly signed and up to date by President-General.

16. Don't sell your property or anything you have without first seeing and knowing that you are going to profit by it. Look out and don't allow self-seeking Officers or members to sell the Organization's property to buy others, so that they can make a commission for themselves.
17. There is no individual or Division so strong as the Parent Body, so watch out for self-seekers who speak against the Parent Body so as to be able to put over their little local schemes to the detriment of the members.
17. See that every Negro signs the Petition to the President and Congress asking for a nation in Africa for the race.
18. You must be completely financial to get consideration.
19. Try to make one new member every week

OUR WOMEN and WHAT THEY THINK-Edited by Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey
THIS is a season of first come first served in all of the shopping districts. To the average woman it is a most interesting season. The eye rests on many beautiful things the horse cannot always afford. The receptive mind gets new ideas from the numerous gifts in the shops. Then, too, there is the constant brain battle, as to what would be the most useful gift for relative or friend. How pathetic, that we see none of our race women handling Christmas gifts! We buy, but sell not. Wherever there are fifty or more Negro women, a store could be started on a small scale.
Those who are efficient in the millinery art, tailoring, fancy work, flower making, and other arts too numerous to mention, could each do her bit. So many of our women think they need Mme. Walker's wealth to start, but she started with little money. She had a will and found a way. You can do so.
The Greek and the Jew start in a wee corner and branch out, and we help them. Strange, we never quarrel about prejudice in the department stores. We can get more attention for a dollar in a department store than for all our printed words of censure of the white man in our papers, where space is so valuable. Could we offer a better suggestion than that the women of the Universal Negro Improvement Association consider the business phase of their lives and take steps to improve it?
Just a word about laundries. It is a deplorable fact that we haven't one steam laundry in Harlem, and a hand laundry only here and there. Yet, we seem perfectly willing to take our laundry to the Chinaman or the Pollock or American white man, where none of them employ Negro help. As with laundries so with little notion and grocery stores.
We trust this Yuletide will cause many Negro women to think carefully over this business matter, and not find the same condition next year.
WOMAN'S PERSONALITY

THE subject of our editorial has been discussed from the pulpit, platform, and in the press. Republics rise and fall by the personalities of their rulers. Queen Victoria was loved by all nations, because of her humane, sympathetic nature and responsiveness to what is best and highest as wife, mother and queen.
Webster tells us that personality is that which constitutes distinction of the person. In woman, the distinction is her loving disposition. Of course, the cultured woman holds the undivided attention of all those around her. The very manner in which she goes about the house, doing in a cheerful manner what so many housekeepers find to be daily drudgery, instead of daily duties, is an inspiration. Cheerfulness makes the daily task lighter, even makes those in the house want to stay with the cheer-sender.
The woman who possesses a personality is indeed born rich. She is the community favorite. She lives for the people. The result is, when something definite is to be done, the cheer-sender is the first to be chosen. Personality is being brimful of good cheer for everybody. We look upon woman's personality as being more effective than man's, because we still believe in the old adage, "The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world."
At this season of the year, the women of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are planning many pleasant surprises for those in whom they are interested. In the high work of the association, it is well that they do so, as there is no other organization so compact and so devoted to the work of sisterhood and charity.
British Bridegroom Needn't Wear Ring

a proposal requiring men as well as women to wear wedding rings.
The question arose during discussion of the revision of the marriage service, which earlier had been altered so as to eliminate the time-honored word "ohey" from the bride's response in one of the two passages in which it occurs in the ritual. The proposal for the double ring ceremony was argued with much heat before it was rejected.
THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1824
To the Editor of The Negro World:
Please permit me space in your valuable paper to say that Negroes must not be dormant when conditions of late seem to be so critical or that economic pressure is so great and is becoming worse. In Cuba, it is affecting us greatly, and I believe it is so with all Negroes the world over.
I do not agree with the writer of Central Vertientes, whose letter was published on the 8th of this issue of The Negro World that the Negro is refused employment because the white engineer claimed that we are (Negroes) forming a government in New York, but for the fact that we are Negroes and that he is looking out for his brothers first. I am of the belief that that writer's statement will just give food to the few fools who feel themselves justified in saying that the U. N. I. A. is a hindrance to the Negro. "To keep the Negro down and out has always been the white man's policy too long before the U. N. I. A. came on the scene." Such is my objectionable feature.
A bit of news which appeared this week is the Havana Post in its special news column, needs the attention of West Indian Negroes who are residents here, as I am. The question is vital and should impress our people.
The news is as follows: "Dr. Alfredo Gonzales, consul for the Centro Castellana, petitioned Secretary Betancourt, of the Agricultural Department, asking authorization for the Spanish association to enter a strong contingent of Spanish maids and cooks into this country."
"Permit me to say that I am strongly of the opinion that the petition will be granted. The motive can easily be perceived. In spite of the fact that our men are steadily thrown out of employment, we, the women, will soon have a bitter time. The gravity of the situation can be easily realized. Soon, Spanish women will be taking our places before the stoves and wash-pan.
The Hon. Marcus Garvey is more than a student of psychology. Reading The Negro World of Nov. 15 I see where he said in his speech, the economic conditions are troubling the Negro more the world over. That is very true. At least, it's coming to its last stage in Cuba. Conditions in the West Indies are stagnant, the immigration restriction of the United States is still on. Where will we go? What will we do?
Let us rise to a sense of duty; let us provide for the rainy day; let us help the God-sent Marcus Garvey, which means helping ourselves.
ETHEL A. AUGUSTIN,
Camaguey, Cuba.
REALIZATION
By CLARA TROTT DE SHIELD
Hark, from under the apple tree
Comes a ripple of happy laughter!
Bolsterous in their childish glee.
Nature's own true son and daughter
Why, he is black and she is white—
But aren't they a pretty sight!
Tripping along the dusty street.
Swift on the way from school to home.
Two little pairs of happy feet,
See how jauntly they come!
Why, he is black and she is white-
What an uncommon sight!
Heedless of curious passers by;
Why, he is black and she is white—
What an astonishing sight!
Comes the day when the flaxen head
Is upward tossed with angry fling;
Cruel, indeed, were the words she said,
Words that left a bitter sting:
"You are black and I am white"—
Alas, what a sad, sad sight!
Now the youth has wiser grown:
Truth's awakening spirit has he;
His love has a skin like his own,
For what has been should never be.
So both are black and neither is white,
And aren't they a noble sight!
Montreal, Canada.
PRAISE FOR MRS. GARVEY AND OTHER RACE WOMEN
To the Editor of the Woman's Page:
I am a member of the U. N. I. A. of Columbus, Ohio, No. 142. I am eager to see this glorious work go on. I read of nearly all divisions 'rallying to the cause.
I am interested in the woman's page of The Negro World, and we all should thank Mrs. Garvey, the first lady of the land, who made it possible for the women of her race to express their opinions publicly. We love her and look to her for example, as other races look to their great women.
So long may she live and be more able to inspire us on our way until Africa is rededged for the Negro race. We as women have an important part to play in this job of nation building. God bless our great women such as Mrs. Garvey and Lady Henrietta Viston Davin. We hold such women our precious jewels. Three cheers for these women who are at the heart of the Red, Black and Green.
WHAT WOMEN ADMIRE IN MAN AND THE IDEAL
To the Editor of the Women's Page:
Women naturally admire courage and fraternity in men. The ideal man in a woman's eye must be heroic, and brave. Women despair in coward and have no respect for a man who is ashamed to stand up for them.
Women who object to being bossed by men who are strict and firm, nevertheless admire men who can rule. The average Negro man of today gets very little respect from his women because the latter have become the breadwinners for themselves and families, and the colored man is content to say that white folks won't give him a job, and in some cases he is too lazy to accept any job at all. Hence a poor Negro woman is compelled to go out and brave the rebuke of white people in seeking employment for the support of herself and children. These conditions prevail, particularly in this country.
It is time for all men to get busy and make jobs for themselves, instead of parking on us poor women and always complaining that they cannot get a suitable job.
Men of other races consider it their first duty to protect and support their women and will brave all dangers to get money to lay at their women's feet. We Negro women admire white men in this respect and deplore the weak (can't be done) attitude of some Negro men.
Another quality in man that woman admires is intelligence. This is illustrated by the following story: A colored soldier was summoned to the war in 1917, leaving his sweetheart behind. He wrote back to her saying: "I have lost an eye, a leg, an arm, and am so badly marred that you could never love me again. Yet I love you too well to make your life wretched by requiring you to keep your marriage vow with me. Therefore, choose another, who is more physically perfect, whom you can love better."
She answered as any genuine woman would answer: "Your noble mind, splendid talents, martial bravery, which malmed you, are what I love. As long as you retain sufficient body to contain the casket of your soul, which alone is what I admire, I love you and long to make you mine."
Therefore, men, if you desire to win the love and respect of your women, he intelligent, generous, self-supporting, gallant and honest. With these qualities, along with the teachings of the U. N. L. A., and following the footsteps of your leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, you will be able to make your women superior to other women on God's earth.

Suggestions to Housewives
To wash chiffon squeeze it gently in warm, soapy water until clean, then thoroughly rinse it in warm water in which a hump of sugar has been dissolved. This will give it a little firmness after being ironed. It is best to dry the chiffon before ironing.
Icing for cake may be prevented from cracking by adding one teaspoon of cream to each unbeaten egg. Fill all together, then add sugar until as stiff as desired.
In making cake or creaming butter and sugar for hard sauce always add a tablespoon of boiling water. This greatly lessens the work, produces a fine creamy mixture and makes the cake more moist.

A Tired Woman's Epitaph
Here lies a poor woman who always was tired;
She lived in a house where no help was hired.
Her last words on earth were: "Dear friends, I am going
Where washing isn't done, nor sweeping nor sewing;
But everything there is exact to my wishes.
For where they don't eat, there's no washing of dishes.
I'll be where loud anthems will always be ringing;
But, having no voice, I'll be clear of the singing.
Don't mourn for me now; don't mourn for the news.
I'm going to do nothing for ever and ever."

DON'T TALK "BABY TALK" TO THE BABIES
DON'T TALK "BABY TALK" TO THE BABIES
the worst thing to talk to a baby is "baby talk." From his earliest years a child should be spoken to in correctly and distinctly articulated words, put together in simple but complete sentences.
Dr. James Sonnett Greene, one of the foremost opponents of "baby talk," makes the foregoing statement in an article on "The Child's Speech" appearing in the November Hygela, popular health magazine published by the American Medical Association.
"The most evil outcome of talking 'baby talk' to babies, and particularly of imitating their omissions and substitutions of consonants because this mutilated speech sounds 'so cute' is that such speech often becomes confirmed in the child as a habit and thus remains throughout his adult years when it is far from sounding cute to anyone. Hardly anything could be better designed to confirm defective speech in a child than for him to hear it constantly imitated." Dr. Greene declares. Dr. Greene is medical director of the National Hospital for Speech Disorders in New York, the first public hospital devoted solely to the defective voice and speech conditions.
Many parents think the only attention they need to give to their children's speech is to see that it is free from poor grammar and what are called bad words, says Dr. Greene. The general idea seems to be that straightforward, normal, standard speech is something that a child picks up naturally, and that even if he has a bad speech defect, such as stuttering, he will outgrow it in time. Many children never outgrow such habits, or since they overcome them only after a long, hard stuggle.
Training in speech should begin, according to Dr. Greene's idea, just as soon as a child's intelligence awakens sufficiently to cause him to struggle for speech. A child's training in school and college, his happiness in social life, his success in business, all depend upon speech, and parents should take this into consideration.
Yes; "We Have Some Bananas" by the Billions
(From, the London Daily Herald)
What our consumption of bananas is in a year is shown in an article on "The Banana and Its Cultivation, With Special Reference to the Empire," published in the current issue of "The Bulletin" of the Imperial Institute.
It is shown that in 1922 bananas were imported into the United Kingdom to the value of over £5,300,000, of which amount only about £600,000 represented produce of British possessions.
Of the British West India Islands, Jamaica is the only important banana producing country, and last year exported, largely to the United States. 12,500,000 bunches, valued at over £2,250,000, whilst in some years the exports have exceeded 16,000,000 bunches.
In Australia considerable quantities are grown for local consumption in Queensland and New South Wales, and there is also a large import from Fiji, where banana growing is one of the staple industries.
We have no true leisure class in America except those who play checkers.

and conferred by the convention, except the potentate and, the supreme deputy, whose term of office shall be permanent and such appointments shall be for the same period as that of the administration, providing their conduct conforms to the best interests of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and have, proven their confidence to the satisfaction of the administration, and be it Resolved,
That everything in the constitution contradictory to or in conflict with the above section be and is hereby repealed and declared null and void."
Now, who is the administrator? Naturally if there is a President-Genual and administrator, he must be responsible for the administration, and if he appoints these men, these men must be members of his cabinet. Can you have power to appoint and not to suspend? The President of the United States appoints his Cabinet with the approval of the Senate or the Congress. Does it take the approval of Senate or Congress to dismiss if the occasion arises where they are acting detrimentally to the good of the administration, and here is a man appointed, and it is questioned whether the administration has the right to dismiss him when he did perform acts detrimental to the good and welfare of the administration.
In another section of the Constitution, gentlemen, you will see a law where where the president general or the high executive council has the right to dismiss, or suspend anyone who does anything to handicap them, and the high executive council is also referred to as the privy council. Did not we, as the high executive council, decide that the man's conduct was such that he should not continue to serve the administration of the organization.
Take Galnas' testimony. He forgot everything else, gentlemen, but his salary. Remember, can you trust the memory of a man like that who remembers nothing about the passing of a resolution of 1921 or 1922 or 1923, he cannot remember anything except that when he was cornered he said "well I pocketed the money." Didn't Galnas tell you that he kept the balance of the money from Detroit, and said it was to pay his expenses to California, when he was in Detroit in 1922 and in California in 1921. I suppose the Southern Pacific credited him his railway fare from 1921 to August, 1922. So

after he got it from Detroit, he paid it back! A deliberate falsehood. Can you believe a man like that as against men like Carter, Burrowen, Miss Davis, William Sherrill, even the ordinary every day man whom the plaintiff tried to take advantage of because he knew he was not an educated man, just an ordinary half-educated fellow, and then asked him a question upon which he hoped to plead his case. "Did you not hear a shouting of daddy shall not resign?" He did not ask that of Garvey, Carter or the educated men, because he knew he could not fool these men by staring in their eyes. He took advantage of that poor man. Gentlemen, you have come in contact with Negroes. You know, there are some of us who are helpless, especially when under hypnotic influence and this same advantage was taken of Austin.
Gentlemen, before I close, I want to refer you to the income of the organization. I want to impress upon you that the very method through which the organisation should get its income to carry on its work, is the same method this man used to get money for himself, for Gaines or daddy. The organization has no other means than by this. Article 8, page 24, Constitution of 1921, in evidence, revenues, Incomes, etc. "The revenue of the Universal Negro II. ovement Association shall be derived from monthly subscriptions which shall not be more than 25 cents per month being authorized dues of each active member, donations, collections, gifts, profits derived from businesses, entertainments, functions or general amusements of an innocent nature, and a death tax of 10 cents per month."
Gifts, donations, collections, this is how we get our money. This man, an executive officer in the pay of the organization, instead of raising collections for the organization, did so for himself, and called it gifts for daddy. You heard about the $200 in Chicago $200 voted out of the treasury of the organization to give a man in the employ of the organization. Isn't that a crime? It had been brought out that he was shot. Why didn't the plaintiff's council ask him why he was shot. Mrs DeMena testified that $350 was paid to a private secretary. That $350 was taken up for daddy when he was sick. Was daddy sick on account of the Universal Negro Improvement Association? Why should money of the Universal Negro Improvement Association be used on such a man? He never asked him how much he got out of politics. He never questioned him whether it was true that he collected money from the Republican and Democratic parties of Chicago. Ah, gentlemen, there is a lot we could not bring out. In the name of the organization, an organization with such a high reputation in this country for honesty and justice and officers going out and double-crossing the two parties in politics in the government of this country, and pocketing the money. You saw his bank statement. We passed it to you, and he plays at being poor now. Is he poorer now than when he entered the association? He never made a lodgement in the bank in all of 1920 in New York before, until he got his first pay from the Universal Negro Improvement Association on the 15th of November of that year and on the 18th, and it was cut off on the 25th of June at that time he was puz out, so he made no more lodgements because there was no more graft.
Look at the last lodgement, gontomen, made just when he was dismissed from Chicago, and that lodgement ambunted to over $400. He also has an account in the Chicago bank. This is the New York bank. Look at the lodgements when he was in Detroit. Look on the lodgement you find on the 30th of August, 1922, immediately he was to return from Detroit he made a big lodgement of $440. Where did Gaines get it from? The same statement he presented of [the $1,000 with the balance not turned over, and he has the nerve to sue the organization.
But let us go back to those checks. Look at these checks, three and four you have seen them. He said yes he received them, afterward he said no. On the stand the first day he said yes, afterward, next day, he denied receiving them. Can you believe such a man against the testimony of the other men who have nothing to gain. What has Garvey to gain? All to lose. If there is a minimum Garvey gets the minimum like Galnes, like Carar, like Davis and Bourne and all of the executive council. Our honor is at stake, justice is at stake, the reputation of a down-trodden people is at stake. Gentleman, you know the Negro in the wash tub, on the streets, on the farm, suffering bleeding for nearly 300 years, as the Jews are struggling, as the Irish are struggling for a home of their own. Imagine Eamon De Valeri suing the Irish cause, bringing the cause before a court of justice to give him beyond that what he ever earned. Imagine O'Connor and all the hosts of Irish-men who have suffered for the cause of Irish freedom, doing things like this. Imagine Zaghul Pasha of Egypt bringing the Egyptian cause before a court of justice. But all Negroes are not the same. You will find conscienceless Negroes. We have the conscienceless ward politician who will sell for whatsoever he can make from it the vote of the Negro, as Galnes did, and the race can be saddled into eternity.
It is true that we suffer under great disadvantages as Negroes. We have a struggle from the bottom to the top. We have been misunderstood as yourselves have been misunderstood. You took time to rise to where you are, and surely we will have to use time. What about Garvey going to jail? It is an honor. Others have died. Garvey is willing to make the same sacrifice, so when he was asked
whatever he was required so not . . .
it was unattainable to him. But Gayton
an assistant of the Universal Nine-
league侵袭 Association must
protect the organization against such
men. Gentlemen, I am going to draw
your attention to several items and
you can look for them in the constitution.
You will find there, gentlemen,
an article, and if you want it, I will
give you the number, where no officer
can draw salaries for two positions at
the same time in the organization.
the same case in the organization.
If that man could have taken so much money, out of four divisions that we had to find out ourselves, do you wonder why we stated that he received as much as the President of the United States. He used to say, "Children, come to daddy; give daddy," and gladly pocketed it all for himself. You will find, gentlemen, that all the money turned ever to the Chancellor was lodged in the bank and drawn over the signatures of the President-General and the Chancellor. But this man received money and spent it, and when he had a balance he said nothing, but spent it. There is a law in here governing salaries. You will find salaries and expenses spoken of there.
Article 7, page 23, Constitution, 1922 and 1921—Salaries and Expenses: "Section 1. The salary of the Potentate and Supreme Commissioner, shall be in keeping with his high office and responsibilities, which salary shall be granted by the convention. The Potentate shall labor for the good and welfare of the organization, irrespective of salary or other consideration."
Here is a man wants to give his services to the United States and charges only one dollar per year. If his expenses come, to a million who will he charge for it? No part of the constitution states where anything was voted outside of salaries, so all this pretense about expense—I feel sure the judge will charge you on the law.
Relative to what your feelings are, whether you think Garvey should get more, or Gaines should get more, it is what the law says. It was a philanthropic cause, not a commercial one, to which men pledged their money and their lives.
We have paid Gaines up to June 15, 1922, giving him as balance in payments a note for $500 in a book for five years, not matured now, and a note at the office for $1,000 for five years. The note is there any time he calls for it; he will get the note any time he makes the application. The note is not matured yet, so, gentlemen, when you bring in your verdict remember that note is paid up to close his salary, but he cannot get judgment because it is not yet matured. You can only give Him salary as from the 16th of June, 1922, up to the 15th of June, 1924, according as you see fit, appearing through the evidence of testimony of both sides.
And then, gentlemen, remember, do not forget, that the testimony of Galanes said the association was impowered and could not even pay him a minimum. He was getting $35 a week as president of the Chicago Division, with all the graft, so that is why he wanted to remain in Chicago, because he was collecting money, with what he would get an Minister of Legions, and the graft on top of it. Nobody had supervision over him; he was monarch of all he surveyed. Lastly, there was an arrangement with Galanes, as testified, that he should be president and get $35 per week. He got it, he, gentlemen, you cannot give him this minimum or maximum salary during that time. He was dismissed on June 18. He was called to report to New York on the 11th. He has not reported up to now, and so the association is not responsible for salaries for him from the 5th, because he refused to abide by the order of his superior officers.
You will find a law that no minor officers should be insubordinate to superior officers. Look through the constitution.
I leave this case in your keeping. Remember it is a poor, struggling race. That man represents only a bunch of grafters who are looking to you to open the floodgates. . . Some of our cases went by default, and that is why, gentlemen, I came here to defend and plead to you to save this organization, for these poor Negroes are struggling for their industrial, economic, social and other developments. Go through the constitution, go through the exhibits. Remember there is a maximum and minimum. Remember this man acted as president of Chicago Division for several months. We build him as much as is shown there, and, if you find with us, we ask your judgment accordingly.
Justice Ford's Charge to the Jury
Gentlemen of the Jury: As I have indicated at the close of the trial, this is a case which seems to me ought to engage your most careful attention. The people involved here are of the colored race, and that race has a hard road to go. It has always occurred to me as to matters affecting the members of that race that it involved upon me particular care to see that justice is done, because they did not come here of their own free will. Most of their ancestors were brought here in chains in slavery. They are here at the will of the whites, not their own, and they are entitled to our most considerate attention in any matter affecting them. It isn't the case of white man against black man. He is a short-sighted American who would put any obstacle in the way of the elevation of this race who now have the right of citizenship. They are a part of us and will always be a part of us, and for their education and development and culture we should do everything possible in the way of helping them.
Now then, I want you, if you have any vestige of prejudice, to eliminate it. I have indicated to you that, after all, it is a practical question as to who owes money to whom. The plaintiff is asking for this substantial sum from the defendant organization and the defendant denies that they owe him anything, but, on the contrary, they ask for a sum of money against him for the balance due the organization. The burden of proof is upon the plaintiff to prove his claim against the organiza-
tion. The burden, of course, of passing the counter claim, is upon the defendant. It is in effect, two claims. If Smith sees you and you don't have to bring a separate action. You can, in the same action, set up a counter claim and save two separate suits. Garvey is his own attorney. Gaines is his own principal witness. On his testimony hinges the base. Gaines, the interested witness, is the most deeply interested. He is trying to get money from the defendant. He is sweeping in his own interest. The testimony of such a witness should be most carefully handled and termed what degree of credibility you must give it, to see whether or not his interest in the outcome of the case has not warped his testimony in his own favor. That may or may not be. A man may be so honest that he would tell the whole truth. It is for you to say. You sit there and watch him in the chair and look at him and his manner of testifying, the character of testimony and of wearing, the circumstances, and in the good old common sense way make up your mind how far you will rely upon his testimony. That is true of all who took the chair for the plaintiff and defendant. Mr. Garvey may be considered in his testimony as the head of the organization. He has had personally to do with the transactions of the organization. The same test you apply as to the testimony of the plaintiff you must apply as to the testimony of Mr. Garvey. So far as you find their personal interest in that constitutes their interest, and you must keep the mind weighing the testimony in order to determine how far they are telling the truth. You are trying to get at the truth. You want to know how much you can rely on them. The first thing you want to know it what is this fellow going to get out of it. What is going to be his gain? If you find he is going to share the profits, you can discount on what he says. If, on the other hand, you find that he isn't interested at all, that he has nothing to gain, you are more apt to take what he says. I want to impress upon you to exercise your plain, solid, common sense. Don't use any extraordinary process or means, but use the same means you employ in your ordinary daily affairs. The common sense of the jury is all we ask. The plaintiff's claim is based upon his employment by the defendant at a salary of $3,000 a year up to 1922, when it was, he claims, increased to $3,500. It isn't a contract of employment. It is more like a salary attached to a public official. This is not a public position, but it has some analogy to it. There isn't any doubt that the convention is the law to abolish the office at any time. There isn't any doubt that the corporation, through the convention, had the supreme authority and the organization has the power to decrease and abolish. There is no fixed term for which the organization was obliged to employ Captain Gaines, but no long as he did stay employed by the organization, the organization was obligated to pay him the salary attached to the office during his incumence. He is a little different from a quasi-public office. It isn't public, of course. The plaintiff's claim, that he did to July 31, 1924, sold office and did earn his salary, and if that is true, he has paid it. Now, suppose you had a man promoting your business and traveling about the country with power to collect money for you, and he traveled and went about visiting points collecting money for you at the end of an extended period he returned. Later he says, "You owe me so much money." What sort of proof would your reason require from him as evidence that you owe him in view of the fact that he has been handling your money, meeting expenses and collecting money belonging to you? Would you pay him out of hand because he came and stated you owed it to him? Would you require some further proof? We want you to look at Captain Games' claim in that light. He is not entitled to money because he swears he is entitled to it. You must be convinced that that money is owing to him and that must appear by a preponderance of testimony. You must not guess at it.
If you guess, you must guess in favor of the defendant, because of failure of the plaintiff to prove his case as the law requires him to prove it. It doesn't say the law will permit him to put his hand into a man's pocket and take the money. The law will not interface with anyone in possession of that which he holds except upon satisfactory proof, and that proof is proof by a propoundance of testimony. That means reasonable certainty. The laws are not so unreasonable as to require a man to prove his case beyond reasonable doubt. Experience teaches you that. You don't know when you buy stock whether the market is going up. So, if you will stop to think of all the affairs of life, you are dealing with uncertainties, never certainties; and so use your best judgment, and that is all the law requires. It doesn't require absolute certainty; but if it appears that the probabilities are fairly on his side and sufficiently in his favor as to remove the question involved, you don't need to guess then. He has sustained the burden of proof. But we must not guess a man's money is in the pocket of another. That can be done only on proof. That is the law applicable to this case and other cases that come before this court. I am not going to rehearse this testimony. It is not clear now in my mind. I hope it is clear in your mind than it is in mine. Many witnesses have testified to many transactions, but when you go to talk it over among yourselves, one man can refresh the recollection of the other; one man can recall the other not recall, and so between you all you ought to rebuild a pretty accurate idea of what the testimony is on both sides of the case. We are only human and can only do human justice; but do the very best you can. Apply the principles of law as you see them. As to that $1,063 note
my bank if the plaintiff himself needs
give that money represented, there
is money, that is for you to decide, ape-
of us may, he in court, but two men
should be able to cover it all. If that
was an honest transaction, and you
find the probabilities on his side, you
Garvey sure that the head is waiting for
him. There then is the claim of $186
represented by the note on the book.
Diregrand the agreement and put the
$1,860 back as back salary. Did he
specify his part and the organization
specify its part? You heard the sup-
posing testimony. There are many
points. You have in mind the nature
of this organization; and I suppose he
has high hopes besides the salary to
be obtained since 1828. It appears along
with the testimony that the money was
due him, and it became necessary for
him to credit himself with the money,
and they in their own way tried to protect
the organization. I charged you that
in the event he did have the power to
take out the pay attached to this
office. The question is whether he
actually did or not. We are not going
to determine whether or not the provi-
sions of the constitution are proper.
We assume that that which the con-
vention gave and was accepted by
the organization is the constitution. Try to get
at the truth, from the facts, if they can
be obtained at all, with reasonable
certainty from the testimony. What a
man has earned, he is entitled to, but
the employer is entitled to all credits.
In discussing the plaintiff's case, it is
necessary for you to cover the counter-
claim. I will read it to you. "For a
separate defense and counter-claim.
We allure that the plaintiff was bound
by the constitution as a matter of law.
That the plaintiff received and con-
verted to his own use money belonging
to the defendant in the sum of $1,866.66,
not admitted, in this complaint, and for
all of which sum defendant makes
counter-claim, etc." You can take the
case. Try to do justice in your own
way. I know from experience how important that is. With me, you are the gentlemen who say the last word. You have your opinion; I have mine.
E. L. Gaines vs. Universal Negro Improvement Association—Mr. Taussig's Address to the Jury
May it please the Court and Honorable Jury: I did not interrupt Mr. Garvey when he made a lot of statements here to you gentlemen, and I will not contend as to which are facts and which are not facts. He gave you a lot of things, but I will not contend about these. Mr. Garvey knows why he defended this case. He wanted to save money. Whether it is for the organization or for himself, he has worked hard. You can see that he worked hard. This is the question, as the Judge told Mr. Garvey before he started. "You must explain the fact" Now let's get right down to the glut of it, right down to the start. The plea is plain. It says that this gentleman, Mr. Gaines, was employed by the defendant for services as Minister of Legions for a period of four years, and the plaintiff in consideration therefore was to obtain a salary of $3,000. That pursuant to the agreement with the defendant he rendered services to the defendant as Minister of Legions at said salary to the month of August, 1922. The defendant admitted all these allegations, and Mr. Garvey tried to withdraw these allegations. Now, in the month of August, 1922, this agreement was that from the 1st of September, 1922, he was to receive a salary of $3,500, instead of $3,000. He rendered services thereafter from the 1st of September, 1922, to the 31st of July, 1924, and we are entitled to claim the total amount for this period. We then admit $2,455 on account. I also, gentleman, have a calculation which I submit to you. One is for the note of $500. I stated to the Court we are not suing on that note. The first bond for $500 and we will ask you that the $1,000 bond, as with the $1,000 bond, cannot be considered as payment. We want the food paid him. A man can take a bond for any time he wants it, and now Mr. Garvey says he cannot have it for five years under some arrangements, and there is no contradiction of it. Therefore, up to January 15, 1922, we are entitled to $1,000 and $85, a total of $1,985. We ask for $85 of the salary which I have worked out for you to check up.
Now we go to the next year, and
from that date on he learned
$2,015. In this complaint he only
acknowledged $330 more.
We are willing that if there is anything since September that should be credited on salary, deuterr it. My client doesn't want one cent that he is not entitled to. I say that in all circumstances. He doesn't want one cent that he is not entitled to. He is not trying to rob the organization. He wants his money. He worked for four years and he kept his contract. He worked under adverse conditions. He was shot, yes, he was shot, and, gentlemen, they took up a collection for him because he was shot. He comes into Court and says that. The public, those people who practically loved him in Chicago, designated it for a specific purpose, and now this organization comes into Court and says that although it was given for a specific purpose, they want to say it was for something else. Was that honorable? Miss DeMena says it was a gift. Is it honorable, gentlemen, to say that should be charged to Capt. Gaines as his salary? That gifts taken in public for services of employees not be allowed then? Mr. Garvey himself held this. If a purse is presented publicly to any officer or official on his or her own account as collection for special services performed for the Association, see Articles 5, Section 8. Now, gentlemen, that is a sample of what they are trying to do to us here. Now take Chicago. Miss DeMena testified. Yes, before Miss DeMena stated they drew checks to the President on account of his services for his salary,

I come upon a train that has decided me to if I can afford what Gosh Gavrey and I afford and gimme man, man, and I can say of you gentlemen if any of you want to have your own home and go to a strange place he not knowing whether he we go to he there one crack or two manhole. He isn't tell, leaving here with expenses going on and then he changed against his salary the expense of Chicago. It is not far, Mr. Gavrey makes a lot of time about that, whicheas before you, gentlemen, much he has forgotten as he forgets a lot of things which he swore to before unfortunately. After paying all expenses, Mr. Gavrey, right before you, gentlemen, stated that on October 24, 1931, he presents a note. There is no proof in this case that any articles were charged up against this loan. Now, gentlemen of the jury, they bring before you a lot of checks for $35, and, my, gentlemen of the jury, charge them up. All contracted-for, every one, and those checks, $164.29, all are known as salary and what is proven that any one of those checks given anywhere whatever were not legitimate expense for the Captain? I do not believe that you will find that any one of them were for salary despite the fact of his uncontradicted statements that there is no proof whatever they tried to the contrary. I cannot find one, not one solitary one. You saw how they tried to put over on you, gentlemen, the check for $125, the $125 described by the Honorable Mr. Ware. You, he knew how he got that money from the bank of Cincinnati. We don't have to go over it again. You saw how he got mixed up, first a check to Gaines himself, then a check to Gaines o.k. by him. He messed it up. I should not have asked him all those questions. You gentlemen discovered it for me. I thank you. Now I will leave it to you to tell as you heard the case, and I know how you heard a lot of evidence. I didn't try to do it, but we had to answer some of their testimony because he examined Captain. They dragged the case along. I am not going to take much more of your time. Now we have heard a lot of Mr. Gavrey, who is very earnest about the maximum and minimum salary. Oh, what a wonderful case they have prepared. Gentlemen, how could I do that. That I could be employed for four years at a regular salary and then they get together and cut your salary in half. Can you make a contract with a man and then change it as in this case? Mr. Gavrey, under sworn statement,
A new discovery is said to have been made by a scientific study of Serbian mountain people who, scientists say, live longer than any other people. It is said this discovery should add many years to lives of people in all parts of the world and quickly restores many strength, youthful vigor, grace and beauty lost by neglect or abuse. Scientists agree that the secret of health and vivien life in the internal glands and. If these glands are stimulated and kept in normal activity, might live longer and aliment such as food. In addition, fertility allow completion, loss of weight, poor memory, premature senility, acutely neck restlessness at night, pain, headache, numbness, dependency, etc. should disappear.

but only agreed and then agreed upon peace now that would be the right thing there may be a unification peace and that they may be able to fall the man they that the man to all. Condition, it is presumed in all situations. They have found a place of minutes of the unified meeting ending up somewhere. It is prepared by us, nobody, nobody body knows whether they are right or not. Minutes of the resolution allow to be rendered so as unanimously whisper the constitution should not guide a two-thirds vote. The constitution may that is enough to be accepted by two-thirds of all the members. Oh, this is terrible. A common-sense man cannot believe that and for him to say that Guinea, who is the lowest paid man, in the whole organization, was to have his salary out down to $1,000 a year and go out and travel at his own expense is hard to believe. Now there are lots of things in that constitution. Many of the witnesses may that there was an amendment in 1821. The only mission, gentleman, that they have found and have brought before you are some leeches Mr. Garvey brought. Some one trying to injure this organization has stolen all the minutes. What interest has the Universal Negro Improvement Association? Only minutes dealing with the case as they come here were here, although they stated they were foot. They could find them in this case? They don't find the minutes of 1928 to 1922. All sorts of things happened to the constitution in 1920. Don't you realize that not one member of the organization and not one officer can check out that wonderful printed book that came out in December. 1920. There isn't a scrap of evidence because the resolutions of 1921 followed and were not printed. All

THE NEWS AND VIEWS OF U.N.I.A. DIVISIONS
The Carrollton Chapter of the U. N. M. held a grand mass meeting at the library Go-Bound Hall. The weather was hot and the meeting was well attended by both members and sympathizers of the U. N. M. I. A. Among the many good things that were accomplished was the unveiling of the charter and the enrollment of seven new members.
We were favored with the presence of the following personages: The Hon. S. V. Robertson, state commissioner; Men. C. Jackson, executive secretary; Mr. J. L. Chinn, president, and manager of the Colored Peoples Company, Inc. and god-father of the charter. We had as visitors many members of the Algerian Division, including the president; also officers and members of the 349 Division.
The program for the evening consisted of addresses by officers and members of the above-mentioned divisions, a solo by Mrs. J. A. McCoy and collections by the U. N. I. A. Band from Division No. 148.
The meeting was brought to a close in the usual manner. The evening was a very enjoyable one.
On Tuesday, the 25th of November, another grand mass meeting was held at the Second Free-Mission Baptist Church, of which Rev. F. W. Scott is pastor. At this meeting was celebrated the unwelling of the Universal flag.

NORFOLK, VA.
On Sunday, November 16, 1924, the Norfolk Division of the U. N. I. A. held a grand mass meeting. The program was rendered by the men of the division, as every third Sunday in a month has been termed "Men's Day" by this division. The meeting was opened by the president, Mr. J. C. Johnson. The ode, "From Greenland's Icy Mountains," was sung, followed by Scripture reading by Dr. J. H. Byrd and prayer by the chaplain.
The following program was rendered for the occasion, with Mr. Lonnie Williams as master of ceremonies: Selection by the choir; prayer by the first vice-president, Mr. A. Richards; solo by Mrs. Annie Shoulder, Black Cross Nurse; reading of front page of The Negro World, by Prof. O. C. Stevenson; song by the choir; address by Mr. R. E. Atkins; address by Rev. J. E. Jinkins, principal speaker of the evening, on "Get You'relf Something." The meeting was enjoyed by all present.
The Havana Division of the U. N. I. A. No. 24, hold a grand mass meeting at their location, No. 49 Puerto Correo, on Sunday, November 18, at 8 p.m. The president, Mr. F. Wharton, provided.
The meeting was opened with the singing of the ode, "From Greenland's Joy Mountains," followed by prayer. The president, Mr. F.

gone, and what is Mr. Garvey doing? In November, 1922, after the printed constitution showing the amendments of 1930 and 1921, sent out all over the world to all these people, using that constitution, not a word of it, not a scintilla of it is heard. No explanation is given you gentlemen by any witness why it wasn't in. They had a meeting in 1922 and for some reason they didn't print the constitution, but in December, 1922, Garvey gets up another constitution. Mr. Garvey evidently had some excerpts of the old minutes then. He didn't lose them Anyway, he gave them to Mr. Anderson to send to the printer. The proof comes back. What happened? Mr. Garvey pulls out a piece of paper and says, "write this, put this in." He puts these in. In December, 1920, it isn't anything like that one that they claim passed at the meeting. Nothing like it. The officials of the Universal Negro Improvement Association shall be paid their salaries at the minimum and the maximum which maximum shall be paid at the end of each month. Now these were all deliberately and maliciously changed in the constitution to suit himself. Quote his own words. He is going to put out a constitution and send to the people not printed right. Now take his own wording. There is proof in this case of every kind. Mr. Galines was not the most able of men that you would. Didn't he go all over the country? The constitution, as you see, makes him travel all over the country. Didn't he establish Chicago? He was recalled. Galines got $3,500. He certainly earned his salary. In 1922 no minutes. They claimed they were gone. The witness I hypnotized, a president of the organization, a poor ignorant man. Is that the kind of man you have as a president? This man, Mr. Garvey says, is a poor ignorant man of his race, and is president of the great Brooklyn division. He was smart enough, but he was halting to tell the truth. The people didn't want Galines to resign and he hasn't resigned. All that evidence is immaterial here. Why? Because at that same convention it is uncontradicted that they raised his salary. That is good, gentlemen. The convention which heretofore raised his salary, what did they do? They raised him to $4,000 and the Honorable Marcus Garvey cut it to $3,500.
There is no evidence to the contrary that his salary wasn't fixed and that is why we cannot prove the exact amount coming to us. The constitution said he was to be employed for four years. The term of all other officers shall be four years. Oh, what else could we do to prove our case? How can a man earn his salary? I am going to comment briefly on the testimony of the Honorable Marcus Garvey. I don't know what position he holds as Provisional President of Africa. Mr. Garvey is getting $10,000, yes. Mrs. Davls, International Organizer, was getting $6,000, and all down the line, $7,000, $6,000, $5,000. The lowest man, an executive, the Second Assistant Secretary General, he got $2,500, and the Minister of Legions, $3,000. The lowest man organizing this great organization. That is not denied. Mr. Garvey didn't go on the stand and deny that. No question about it. Very important: Now I say this, Mr. Garvey took the stand and deliberately told you how this note was for one, two, three or five years and I questioned him about a former trial and at that trial the note was for one year and he put in an answer that the man who made his note for one year committed fraud. That is the way he charges them and when he comes here he forgets it. After we asked him many questions he gives this answer perfectly and it is uncontradicted that these notes were to be made from one to five years, for he is a man of no mean mind. Garvey swears it was two years when he gave it and when

he got it back it was five. Of course it was five. He swears that notes changed to five years were a fraud. That is all because he wants to explain how that five came on it and so he says that the man paid no money. He charged fraud against this man because he charged it to one year. Gentlemen, it is strange. There is no answer to deny. He shows that he knows the contents of the answer and now he says he didn't swear. How can you believe a man like that? How can any one believe? Now he makes a lot of fuss about the money from Detroit. Garvey stated. he got $1.026. If Gaines had been crooked he wouldn't have told he got $1.026. No one checked up on him. He puts down $1.026 and puts down $256 and the receipts show that he only got $905. The $1.026 went to the organization and he got $125. Where is he charged for it? Didn't he come back to Mr. Garvey's office and hand in his report and here he got $276, $750 and $1.0267. Mr. Garvey didn't question it. Now he comes in and puts in his bank account. Gentlemen, that is good. The bank account doesn't show withdrawals. Only deposits and no withdrawals. Four hundred and five dollars deposits, of which he had $200. He is entitled to that for expense. Now, gentleman, I will get through. I will just plead for a dismissal. This gentleman had served four years. There is no charge against him whatever. There never has been a charge against him. He is an honorable man and worked up this legionary force. When the organization got into trouble they sent him there. Now Mr. Gaines knows he had to resign.

The privy council get together and conspire, when a man is due money and they put it over on him. He forgot that he had to go to Cleveland to save the organization. That is what was going on the very day he was discharged to save the organization and then goes to Pittsburgh an more business and then he puts in the paper that for violation of the constitution he is dismissed. Gentlemen, there is no power in the constitution to dismiss him. It was a dirty trick to discharge this man without a hearing within a couple of months without a statement from him.

La Grande Bretagne usurpe l'Egypte et le Soudan
L'ultimatum britannique à l'Egypte a été catégoriquement rejeté. La Grande Bretagne appuiera ses réclamations par la force armée. Il est dit qu'aucune intervention ne sera toécerde de la part de la Ligue des Nations par la Grande Bretagne. Il est possible qu'une longue guerre s'ensuite.
Le point saillant de la note présentée par l'Empire Britannique à l'Egypte stipule que l'Egypte doit effectuer l'évacuation militaire du Soudan.
Les dépêches de Londres ne laissent pas de déclarer que la souverrainet de l'Egypte sera respectée, mais il est évident que avec une garnison anglaise sur les lieux, des Conseillers britannique dans les principaux bureaux et départements gouvernementaux, la censure de la presse et l'interdiction des manifestations publiques-il est évident que l'intention de Londres est d'opérer une main-mise complete sur l'Egypte.
L'exécution de ce plan laisserait l'Egypte en possession de quelques 260,000 milles carrées d'territoire dont environ 12,000 milles carrées sultent sont cuivées; tandis que la Grande Bretagne controllerait plus de 1,000,000 de milles carrées environ le quart. du continent européen dont la plus grande partie est susceptible d'exploitation.
L'Angkterrete, d'après la note remise au Premier Zaghouil, contrôrait également les sources du Nil, sur lesquelles dépendent les 12,000,000 d'Egypteans pour l'firrigation de leurs fermes et cités, et serait libre d'en détrouner les caux de terres soudues.
La Grande Bretagne convoite la possession du Soudan à comme du rendement immenses qui resulterait de la mise en execution de certains

LE NOIR DANS LA
SCIENCE
La visite récente du Dr George W. Carver à New York a démontré les possibilités insouponnées du Noir. La race qui a produit Blind Boone, Flora Batson, Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Roland Hayes et Charles Gilpin est considérée comme possédant des talents potentiels sous la rapport artistique. Le Dr Carver, membre de le Royal Society de la Grande Bretagne, décoré de la médaillé Spingarn oblige le pays à tenir compte aujourd'hui des possibilités scientifiques du Noir. Le Dr Carver a développé 118 produits de la patate: 176 de la noix de pistache; 85 du pecan et 300, de l'argile ordinaire du Sud.
De tels travaux sont remarquables par eux-mêmes; maia ils acquièrent une tres grande importance quand on considère qu'ils sont dus à un Noir. De son laboratoire à Tuskegee il ne serait pas impossible que le Dr. Carver lance des élèves qui exerceront plus tard une influencie dur les destinées de la race; car ce sont de tels exemples, produits par la race, qui contribueront à la faire respecter par les autre*.
Le bruit court que le poste de Ministre de Pologne aux Efats-Unis servit offert à Paderewski, le célébre virtue*. On ne sait s'il acceptera cette offre.
La souverainité multifocale et l'Indépendance économique scolaire peuvent assurer aux noirs la justice sociale a laquelle ils ont droit
Mr Marcus Garvey, l'éminent president-general de la 'Universal Negro Improvement Association, declare que la souveraineté nationale et l'independance économique sont les seules forces sur lequelles le Noir doit compter pour obtenir la reconnaissance de ses droits sociaux, civils et autres.
Il considère comme une heureux presage que Haiti, Liberia et l'Abyasinie sont membres de la Ligue des Nations. Il dit:
"Le membre le plus faible de la Ligue a autant de voix et de vote que le plus fort. Le rang égal qu'occupée Haiti, le Liberia et l'Abyssinie avec les plus grandes nations de la terre (et les Etats-Unis ne font pas partie de la Ligue) ne fait que confirmer la justesse de notre assertion que le cri de ralliment "Afrique aux Africains" ou la conquête d'une nationalité propre est la seule voie par laquelle the Noir peut espérer obtenir la justice économique, sociale et civile à laquelle il a droit et que les nations de la chrétienne s'obstinent à lui dénier. En proportion et à mesure que le Noir développera sa force nationale, il conquerera le respect du reste du monde; respect quon dénie à ceux qui ne sont pas l'également privilégiés de s'asoir dans les lieux où s'assemblent pour délibérer les Conseils des Nations.
Il faut proner partout, dans toutes les Liberty Hall, dans toutes les localités que le seul moyen pour le Noir d'atteindre à l'indépendance économique est de s'unir, de s'associer, de s'organiser et de travailler en commun en confondant leurs resources intellectuelles et économiques si faibles soient elles pour la création d'une entreprise commerciale quelconque, des agences d'assurance ou de transactions bancaires. Faites des negociations entre vous-niemes; trafiquiez les uns avec les autres. Créz-vous une occupation, un commerce quelconque. Faites quelque chose. Consacrez vos énergies à une activite quelconque. Developpez une entreprise dans votre localité. Faites quelque chose par vous-mémes et pour vous-niemes. Personne ne le fera pour vous."
Le président Coolidge dans son message relatif au budget demande que la plus stricte économie soit pratiquée
Il prévoit un surplus de $373,743,714 à la Tresorerie à la fin de l'exercice fiscal de la présente année.
Les dépenses ont été réduites de beacoupl l'exécutif évaluent les frais courants du Gouvernement à $3,267,511,367.
El primer vapor de esta nueva línea, hemos de repetir, saldrá de Nueva York en la tarde del domingo once de enero de 1925, llevando a su bordo el primer contingente de turistas norteamericanos de la raza hacia las Antillas y America Central. Se hace extensiva una invitación a todo nuestro elemento que desee visitar dichos puntos, a que obtenga su pasaje correspondiente para este cruce y con anticipación conseguir todas las comodidades que brinda nuestro amplio vapor Booker T. Washington, ya en condiciones navegables para esta empresa.
"Je suis en faveur de mesures économiques", a dit le Président, "Si nous poursuitons notre campagne d'économie, nous préparerons la voie à de nouvelles reductions des taxes fédérales. "En ce qui concerne les choses dont l'exécution s'impose, nous travaillons à réduire aussi rapidement que possibles les frais au strict minimum compatible avec un service efficient."
Pour mieux souligner ses recommandations de réduction et d'économie dans les dépenses gouvernementales, le Président a annoncé son intention de se rendre à Chicago assister à l'Exposition des produits de l'Elevage en voyageant dans un compartiment du train ordinaire, pour éviter au pays les frais excessifs nécessités par la sortie du train presidentiel special.
Los hebreos también propónense llevar turistas de su raza en excursión a la Palestina y a la Tierra Santa, de manera que los descendientes de Moisés y otros tantos que deseen visitar la reedificación de la ciudad biblica, lo hagan obteniendo por el más bajo costo, las mejores comodidades apetecibles. De igual manera nuestra organización respalda la nueva corporación naviera, ofreciéndole oportunidad a nuestro elemento en este país, para que visite a sus congeneres y estudie sus actividades en otros puntos del globo.
Voyageront avec lui, à cette occasion, Mme Calvin Coolidge, le Sénéator et Mm* Medill McCormick, et d'autres notabilités et amis.
No hay razón por la cual no deban derivarse mejores y más sabias relaciones comerciales, entre nuestro elemento norteamericano y el de las Antillas y Centro America. Nuestro elemento en los trópicos produce gran cantidad de material virgen, materia prima que puede ser usada ventajosamente por la inclinación comercial del norteamericano, de la raza, al igual que lo hace el comerciante blanco inglés o americano en iguales condiciones. Todo cuanto se necesita para el efecto, es la voluntad y el valor para establecer mejores relaciones entre ambos elementos; es un sano entendido entre los mismos. Esta nuestra primera excursión ofrece esa gran oportunidad y debemos aprovecharla.
LA · MUTINERIE
KHARTOUM
L'Associated Press, en date du 29 Novembre, annonce que les survivants de la mutinérie de Khartoum se sont rendus aux Anglais. Deux pelotons du 11 bataillon soudanais s'étient mutinés. Après le bombardement des bâtiments ou se trouvre l'hopital militaire egyptien les survivants se sont rendus. Deux officiers anglais ont été tués et huit hommes blessés. Les rebelles étaient au nombre de 200; il y aurait 60 tués et blessés.
Es deber ineludible de todos y cada uno de nosotros, guiar nuestros esfuerzos en tal dirección y por ello apelamos una y otra vez al espritu de libertad, de progreso y de confraternidad de la raza universalmente. Hagamos un estudio minucioso de lo que emancipación industrial y comercial de una raza significa, y llegaremos a la conclusión de aportar con todo cuanto esté a nuestro alcance en pro del éxito de un movimiento que labore en tal sentido. Huelga exponer de nuevo los fines y propósitos de nuestra organización; importa a la raza en general la realización de estos y para ello debemos cooperar a nuestro mejor modo de entender.

PROP. M. A. FIGUEROA, Editor
Sesor Director de la sesión Española de El Nroso World:
En las páginas del illustrado periódico El Negro World el señor Luis Torres Colón publicó bajo el nombre "Cuestión Masónica" un artículo donde pretende dar luz sobre un asunto que por más de una centuria, en la ciudad de Nueva York especialmente y en los Estados Unidos generalmente viene preocupando los hombres ignorantes, los peritos, los blancos y los negros en asuntos masónicos donde funcionan los negros. No hace mucho tiempo que el señor Colón Torres publicó en los periodicos de Harlem un artículo como Gran Logia "organizada" bajo las leyes del estado de Nueva York como una sociedad benéfica por unos individuos pretenciosos, que aún viven en la irregularidad de creer que ellos mismos tienen por la derecho alguno de levantar logias en territorio donde existe logias cubriendo la jurisdicción con patente de gran logia soberana. Ahora viene el señor Colón Torres y nos presenta sus impressions "el commerce a que ha estado sujeto el desarrollo masónico dentro de la raza de color de los Estados Unidos, es altamente bochornose." Esto es verdaderamente lamentable y no debe cabe duda alguna porque el señor Colón Torres ejerció el puesto de Gran Secretario en una colectividade que hasta hoy carece del alivio y el amparo que debe manifestarse dentro del circulo de la asociación.
Elemento Norteamericano de la raza irá a las Antillas como turista en su propio vapor—Visitará los trópicos y gozará de las delicias de su verano eterno—Nueva actitud y grandes realizaciones en perspectiva—Excursión hebrea—Mejores relaciones comerciales entre los distintos pueblos de nuestra raza—Deber includible de todos
Es altamente alentador el saber que la raza se prepara en todas partes, para entrar en un nuevo periodo de la vida de asociación con gran interés y celo, en ayudarnos en la causa que perseguimos para alcanzar el objetivo que nos proponemos. Examinando el texto de las comunicaciones recibidas de los cuatro puntos del globo, nos produce un gran placer y estamos altamente satisfechos al realizar que la labor que hemos emprendido en los últimos siete años, ha alcanzado un éxito insuperable.
La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, tiende su vista hacia el año 1925 como año de enlistamiento universal, cuando cada grupo y cada sección de la raza esté, en condiciones en todas partes y se inflame con el fuego del entusiasmo, para llevar más adelante el trabajo de redención y se vean coronados todos los esfuerzos y glorificados todos los sacrificios de la gran raza africana diseminada por la superficie de este planeta.
La fiebre del escritor toma forma loca cuando dice "Que la Negro Americano confunde la masoneria con su política". Los masones Prince Hall nunca han permitido política ni fueto extraño percular dentro de su censo, y creo que hablo con bastante seguridad en los veinte años, como miembro de la logia Prince Hall No. 38 de Nueva York, anteriormente Sol de Cuba No. 28. Puede ser que los individuos con quien el profesor se pasa las noches son personas indignas para asociarse con los altos preceptos y meritorias cualidades que la caridad masonica demanda. Puede ser que se ha olvidado del refrían "Dime con quien antas y te diré quien eres".
Aquí en Norte America nosotros estamos realizando todo cuanto está a nuestro alcance, y nos sentimos realmente satisfechos de que nuestros coparticipes de las Antillas, Centro America y Africa, prestan su ayuda en igual paralelo. Preparación y gran desenvolvimiento de caracter será nuestra guia, y progreso será la palabra de pase para el año de 1925.
Mucho de lo que debiera decirse debe silenciarse, por el temor de que se diga demasiado y el oido del público pueda defraudar el gran propósito que tenemos en mente, para beneficiar los cuatrocientos millones de irredentos que representamos. Silenciosa y quedamente debemos hacer nuestra entrada por las barreras de dificultades que se nos presentan a nuestro paso. Decir poco y ejecutar mucho, será nuestra actitud, siendo esta nuestra divisa para ganar la solidaridad y presentar un cuerpo nutrido, que responda a los embates que impone el campo de evolución del porvenir.
El talentoso profesor nos recuerda y le acerciaramos en la verdad que los Negros Americanos fueron elejidos a la masoneria por la logia militar de un regimiento irlandés situado en la ciudad de Boston, estado the Nueve Inglaterra hoy el estado de Massachusetts, bajo el mando del General Gage durante el año 1773 cuando Prince Hall; un hombre cudo y respetado por el pueblo con doce otros individuos descendientes de Africanos fueron inicados, pasados y levantados a los grados simbolicos. Estos mismo individuos mas tarde presentan una petición à la Gran Logia Soberana de Inglaterra y se le expidió patente en el año 1784 bajo el nombre de Logia Africana número 459. Todo esto es verdad indiscutible; se encuentra en el fallo de la historia. La historia de esta logia es la misma que nos ofrece las logias blancas que fueron formadas durante el periodo de la revolución contra las fuerzas Inglesas. Tan pronto se organizan la logia mencionada cuestiones de raza tomaron vuelo y en las historia, de Wm H. Upton y Samuel Clark; puede leer las dificultades que el padre Prince Hall-de la masoneria, dentro las personas mencionada sufrieron y vienen friended desde 1784 hasta hoy, como también, de la persona de una persona que vive dentro de su barrio en la personal del señor Torreque lanza sus rayos de colerro cuando dice "Los titulados Prince Hall son cueros clandestinos con jurisdicción local inicamente". Puede ser que el escritor carece de suficiente conocimiento de la verdad de lo que escribe. Someto para el juicio de personas desinteresadas la aldea del municipio de la
La preparación industrial y comercial de la raza se impone, para que esté apta al nuevo sistema de reajuste que se avecina. Sin una preparación firme y robusta que nos garantize, no podemos levantarnos al nivel tan serio y lleno de responsabilidades, que presenta la actual civilización. Es por esta razón que nosotros redoblamos nuestros esfuerzos y nuestras energias, para que se un exito nuestra nueva corporación naviera la Cruz Negra.
una de las gualmas de la gaja jurisdicción soberana, jurisconsulto y juez de la Corte Supreme del estado de Washington, escrita en defense de los masones descendientes de Prince Hall, titulada "La Luz Sobre un Sujeto Obscuro" siendo un examen de la critica contra la legitimidad de la masonera que existe dentro los Negros de la America" por William H. Upton, AM, LIM, Gran Maestro del Estado de Washington. Seattle 1809. Y no obstante la critica que dicha obra produjo sobre la cabeza del jurisdiccionulo y juez por las grandes jurisdicciones Soberanas de los blancos de los Estados Unidos. La calma de mas de trecino y cinco años, nos presenta el juicio de este redentor y aquellos que lo denunciaron hoy revelan la verdad masónica pronunciado en favor. de los Negros.
Tenemos que investigar el conocimiento que ciñer Torres posee de la historia masónica; nos dice que la gran logia de Méjico, la gran logia soberana de Puerto-Rico y el gran consejo español de la misma isla son reconocidos por la Gran Bretafia. Bero la gran logia de Méjico y Puerto-Rico, etc., no fueron ample reconocida por los masones de la Gran Bretta 6 por todos los masones en el mundo. La gran logia
soberanas de la República de Liberia fue originalmente forzada por Prince Hall masonas de los Batasianos Unidos de America. Esta gran logia es reconocida por cani todas las logias del mundo y floreciendo de las masonas matriz anteriormente notadas la Logia Afekana número 450. Si este es verdad de la gran logia de Liberia porque nº lo ou da las logias que emanocen en este país. De manera, si esto es verad de Mejico y de Puerto Rico lo fue también de muchas otras gran logias soberanas que con el tiempo y la justicia han recibido su reconocimiento.
La historia de la esclavitud en este país come en las islas de Ultramar han ocasionado sufrimiento a los colonos y aun suge la memoria de dicha lucha en todo el continent de America. El escritor Torres se queja de la "pigmentación", pero es la base donde circula la corriente que de vez en cuando le aprieta al collero del amigo que sufre. El blanco, el casi-blanco, el que pasa-por-blanco, vive alegre en este país donde su mismo color sin pigmentación alguna le protege. Ahora, el que tiene la piel como Torres y el que subscribe sufren de la dificultad Americana que directa o indirectamente prohibe, como un veneno de las Borgias, la asociación de "moros y cristanos". Esto me recuerda que en Puerto-Rico Brindis de Sala fue invitado al Casino Español, como el famosa violinista que había honrado con su presencia los salones de Emperadores, Reyes y Principes de Principes de Europa. Estos honores lo recibió el distinguido Cubano por suibilidad artística y su genio de maestro. Pero tan pronto quiso bailar con una señora blanca en el Casino Español de San Juan, Puerto-Rico, fue insultado. Prque Sr Torres? Oh! Solamente porque era moreo. No seolvide que enel terreno las preocupaciones de raza aun surgen, como surgieron en los tiempos del padre Rafael y que militaron contra la virgenes del famoso pintor Campeche.
El historiario masónico Ossian Lang, de la Gran Logia Soberana de Nueva York en su obra Historia de la Masoneria en el estado de Nueva York, página 158 dice: "La Gran Logia evidente mantiene una línea de distinción entre la relación fraternal con una gran jurisdicción masónica y el reconocimiento de su regularidad o la legitimidad de dicho gran cuerpo. De esta manera puede reconocer tal Gran Logia de Prince Hall compuesta de ciudadanos Americanos desconcientes de Africanos, correctamente constituidos por la Gran Logia de Inglaterra y como tal es legitima, pero consideraciones que enveluate el principio fundamental de estado soberano a que se adhierce las Gran Logias Americanas, son razones suficientes que justifican negarles relaciones fraternales con este cuerpo."
La defense de la cofradia de los Prince Hall masones se denuestra en las treinta y seis gran losias soberanas de los Estados Unidos con una hermandad de más de 400,000 masones, dueños de edificios masnicos con un valor mayor de ocho millones de dollars, dando sojourn a los hijos de la viuda, protejiendo a los desamparados y practicando la caridad, dando alivio a los cuerunos y sepulhora a los que han pasado la cadera simbolica.
Soy de opinion que al señor Torres se le debe dar una oportunidad para poder estudiar la verdad de lo que exirte con referencia a los masones Prince Hall. Por esta razon se frece la librería masónica del historiario y publicista Harry A. Williamson y la del que subsiste para que la luz pueda plantearse en el corazon del amigo peregrino.
Teigu una duda sobre las questiones masúicas que se debaten en las columnas de la prensa. El masón sufre en silencio con la esperanza que el tiempo y la perseverancia nivelan las dificultades de la vida.

trumped up a bigger leap than what to despise male. We must put this program over in name of God. Hon. Marcelo Garvey and Africa.
We, the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, thank God for the greatest leader of the Negro race the world has ever known.
Thanks for such wonderful material in which we can be able to go forth conquering and to conquer. A man who is able to go before the supreme courts of the nations and speak in defense, of the Negro race and they will hear him and there must be a great change in the situation of affairs. This, every ideal member of the U. N. I. A, knows. We also thank God for the principles of the organization. "One God. One alm. One destiny." We are proud of such constitution as that of our great Creator. So I am quite sure I am voicing the sentiment of the entire membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
If the Negro falls to redeem Africa it lies on the part of that which the Negro falls to do. That is, to make an effort. If the Negro fails to put over this great commercial and industrial plan, it lies solely on the Negro. So let it be known to every member of the Negro race. If the Negro fails to get every article possible to make a government and nation to rival the modern governments and nations, it lies solely on the part of the Negro. If the Negro fails to put over this gigantic program he will soon be doomed to eternal destruction.

Strike Troubles and Brutal Police Conduct in Cuba
To the Editor of The Negro World:
On the morning of November 24, George Burke, a Jamaican, was most brutally beaten by warders of this town. Gowing to a strike in the sugar mills, work is suspended in this section. The administration in the mills gets the warders to intimidate the British subjects, with a view to getting them to work as 'strikebreakers'. This unfortunate man was returning home after taking two children to school. He was ferociously attacked by these gentlemen in khaki at the order of A. W. Thompson, an American, fired upon and arrested. They took him to the jail, where he was so cruelly beaten that 'medical aid was summoned. The matter has been vigorously taken up by the British subjects and' communications sent to the

Purchase of Sugar Lands In Cuba Again Urged
To the Editor of The Negro World:
I beg to return you much thanks for your valuable space in your issue of the 22nd of November of The Negro World, re my suggestion regarding land not under cultivation in Cuba, which could be utilized by forming a syndicate among our race.
This I did not expect to be handled by local, but by the Parent Body itself, which may take steps to organize a corporation to be known as the U. N. I. A., Cuban Sugar Corporation.
This corporation would, then call upon all its branch societies to cooperate with the Parent Body by taking shares, at a given figure, to enable the said body to carry out its scheme successfully. This, I am sure, would develop into a powerful company, as every man working on such an estate must take an interest, considering it a part of his own property. It would also cause other companies-operating here to handle our people with far more respect, when taking into consideration that we have an organization working side by side with them and are paying equal prices for labor, and that each laborer would be expecting a premium at the end of each year, or at a given time. This, I say, would be such a big scheme that it would not at all be advisable to leave it in the hands of locals only. It should be taken up by the Parent Body and its locals combined.
It would then open the eyes of other races, who would see that we are a people capable of doing for ourselves and therefore claim equality in commercial industry.
We as a race must be up and doing something in order to be respected as a race, and I am sure if this is done it would set us on a good footing.
I must again, Mr. Editor, thank you for your valuable space and time.
Yours respectfully,
R. DALEY SIBBLJS,
Rector St. James Orthodox Church.

To the Editor of The Negro World:
Please publish this letter as that the people outside of Cuba may know of the happenings in this island. The Negroes in Cuba, both Haitians, Jamaicans, and other Negroes from the various West Indies are exploited and reduced to the meanest living that civilized man can live. The owners of the sugar plantations, knowing the overstocked foreign Negro laborers that are in Cuba, take the meantest advantages of them in many of the plantations in all parts of this island. Since the month of July up to this date the foreign laborers of the various West Indies only work for as much to keep them from dying and behind that pass great disadvantages and obligations for this much. No feeling of sympathy has been attributed, but only exploitation of the labors of our people.
The people, in order to give vent to their feelings, move from plantation to plantation, province to province, to be confronted by the same conditions and embarrassed by the same circumstances. It is quite appalling to see how the coffers of the white planters and estate owners are filling out of the haches and groans of the Negroes, in spite of the fair price they are receiving for their sugar. The prices of foodstuffs and clothing are up to the height, and what is left after the feeding is paid, when there is any left over, is robbed by the merchants. Then the Negro is left to bewail his labor, like Rachel weeping for her children and could not be comforted.
In spite of the bed conditions that are sweeping over the foreign Negroes, the estate owners are still not satisfied with the cheap labor, but are still importing more Haitians. In order to reduce the labor to a still cheaper rate propaganda is spreading all over the British West Indies that wages in Cuba are high and more laborers wanted.
Owing to the economic condition prevailing in these various islands, the people are forced, to come to Cuba only to curse their fate. On many of the farms only Haitians are preferred to work, because the British Negroes can see figures, but the Haitians can't, and this still makes matters worse. Haitians especially suffer most, for they can't see what is coming to them, and when it comes it is nothing, and are forced to start another job by hunger to be repaid by nothing. In the shops they have three prices, and three kinds of weights to sell their goods. The Cubans get the right prices and weights. The English Negroes get the worst prices and weights and the Haitians get the worst prices and weights. And a white man is served first and the Negro last. I have been working four months and have never known what is a pay day. This statement can be given by thousands of other people.
In spite of our good citizenship in this island, we are depreciated by the natives. The worst of everything is given to us because we are too many here and are coming every day, women, men and children.
I appeal to all the members of this Universal Negro Improvement Az-
