The Negro World

WHEN NEGROES CO-OPERATE AND PULL TOGETHER THEY CAN DO BIG THINGS VOL. XVII. No. 25 WHEN NE AND PUL CAN Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: The Booker T. Washington, the first ship of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, has indicated to us the tremendous possi- large numbers of people thought that it was impossible for us to make good the promise that we had offered to the people, that of establishing the Negro as a maritime commercial power. The acquisition of the Booker T. Washington does not complete the work that must be done in this direction. In fact, it is only a small or modest beginning, although it shows the possibilities, yet the race is not put to its greatest test as to its ability to make a success of the effort. The Ship Launched We should not be satisfied to have launched the ship, but it is our duty to redouble our energies and efforts in every direction to finance the corporation of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, so as to render it able to properly conduct its business. Money is now needed for the purchase of cargoes, so that the ship will not be solely dependent upon the securing of cargo in a competitive market, but that the corporation will be able to trade with the various units of the race, so as to promote a closer contact and reap a larger profit. Subscribe for a Loan Every Negro who has not yet subscribed for a loan in the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company should do so. As has been explained before, you may loan $20, $25, $50, $100, $300, $500 or $1,000 to the corporation NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 31, 1925 GROES CO L TOGETH DO BIG TI RACE SHOULD SUBSCRIBE CAPITAL TO RUN BIG STEAMSHIP LINE SAILING OF BOOKER T. WASHINGTON EVERYBODY SHOULD DO HIS SHARE CLOSER RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN NEGROES OF THE WESTERN WORLD bearing an annual interest of 5%. The money so loaned will be used for the promotion of the business of the corporation and the industrial expansion of the race. Wo do not only want the Booker T. Washington, but in another year we should have other ships. The 3,500 persons who have subscribed to the purchase of this first boat must take pride in the fact that they have willingly and loyally done their bit to promote the commercial and industrial interest of the race. Every three months other groups should do likewise, and that would mean that in another short while the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company's flag will be flying in every port of the world. Getting Together Let us get together as we never did before and push forward this great venture of ours. Those who can help should not wait for tomorrow, but should seize the immediate opportunity of assisting. There is no doubt about it that the company needs money to capitalize its effort in the steamship industry. Negroes everywhere, especially in Central America and the West PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK TEN CENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE U.S.A. TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES -OPERATE ER THEY HINGS Indies, who have cargoes should hold them for the ships of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. The Negroes of the United States who are engaged in business activities and desire a closer trade relationship should be encouraged by the efforts of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company to develop an export trade with the Negroes of South and Central America and the West Indies. Everybody can do something in this direction, and it is for that that we make the appeal at this hour. Our cry must be "Ships and more ships," "Capital and more capital," and when the response is given there is every reason to believe that the rest will be made easy in the industrial and commercial expansion of the race. Giving Some Help Give us help, and let us have it now, is our appeal. In forwarding your loans, address the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, 56 West 135th Street, New York. With very best wishes for your success, I have the honor to be Your obedient servant, MARCUS GARVEY, President-General, Universal Negro Improvement Association. Norfolk, Va., January 27, 1925. P. S.—Members, Chapters and Divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are urgently requested to send in their annual One Dollar tax which came due the 1st of January. No Division, Chapter or Member will be considered financial unless this tax is paid. M. G.

To the incomprehensibly long story of the stars will now be added one almost perfect chapter. It may be a little thing for the sun. Actually it was a little thing to the sophisticated metropolis of the new world—and how over sophisticated it sounds to call anything either a metropolis or a new world in the face of what happened this morning! To ganking thousands it seemed a great spectacle. Yet the light that reached New York from some star in the moment of our own sun's hiding away, perhaps started through space from a full fledged universe of its own before New York, this earth, the familiar sun and all it means had been set in their pockets in the void. This was the thing for which New York got up early or went uptown early to see. BRUTAL SLAVERY IN THE UNITED STATES Almost Unbelievable Conditions in Florida—Fleeing Workers Chased with Bloodhounds By JACK METLE In One Big Union Bulletin Out in Long Island's zone of totally a little girl insisted on her party dress to go out and see the eclipse. She compromised on her best handkerchief and then spilled it with weeping because there was no party. She was frank about what many New Yorker must have felt. She didn't stop to think about what was actually happening, and neither, apparently, had the millions who made the 10 o'clock train jailed and crowded as those of a late evening rush hour after the spectacle was over. They were still talking about the radio, the commission on the last sale, the idiosyncracies of the boss, or the cross-word puzzle of the moment. TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—The death of Martin Talbert, the young North Dakota legionnaire, on a Florida chain-gang, in 1923, stirred the people of the United States to such an extent that the murderer, a chain-gang whipping boss, was sent to prison for a number of years. With the tale of this cruel killing, still fresh the American public will be still further shocked to learn of the new outrages about to be exposed arising from the poonage system in that state. "Yeah! Guess you'll never see that again," was about all they had to say once the spectacle was over. Of course, New York itself is fairly well used to light effects. Mr. Hedley accustoms them to darkness by day and Mr. Edison hardens them to brightness by night. Such terms lose the significance they had when light and darkness depended exclusively on the sun and the sun itself could shine through the thin skin of a primeval tent home. There were homes in New York in which the sun never shines anyway. But these cliff dwellers climbed to the roofs this morning to see. Florida county judges, sheriffs, deputy sheriffs and several turpentine operators are under indictment in the turpentine districts for holding persons in peonage. All will be tried in the Federal courts and several persons are held as witnesses for the prosecution. They climbed into the dazzling brilliance of a land of white and a sky of the purest blue. Where there was open country, even where the roofs were reasonably flat, the frozen surface of snow reflected the high active rays of a perfect sunrise. Many people saw It is charged by United States agents that the turpentine operators would go to the chain-gang camps and offer to pay the fines of petty offenders. The convicts, overfoyed at the prospect of release, and not knowing that they were jumping still deeper into hell, glazily availed themselves of the offer. The fines were paid and the men marched off to serve out their fines in the turpentine camps. They were to receive pay for their labor. 'LOST VIGOR RESTORED IN 24 HOURS' *Glinda Awakened in One Day* "Is the Amazing Awakening truly un-ty-*s*-Year-Old Veteran. On reaching the turpentine camp far out in the swamps, they found out their great mistake. They were not free workers as they had expected, but slaves without pay. Guard's more cruel than those on the chain-gangs were over them day and night. Where on the chain-gang there was a rule against whipping, they found there was none in the turpentine hells; Lost vigor, deadened glands and nerves, and that weak worn-out, depressed and half-alive feeling need not be drenched any longer since the dislodge is known/chaismy. Now it is possible for a maturely old" to become "rejuvenated" and regain the "vital youth", often in a day's time, with Mando Formula, is the amazing statement of one who has taken the treatment. This statement is the "rejuvenated youth" and "strength" to thousands where everything else had failed. After weeks of hard labor from before dawn until after sundown, and when they had figured that their fine must have been worked out, they demanded an accounting. When this was given the prisoner found himself not a free man with money in his pocket, but so far in the debt of the company that there was no chance of ever paying. Food and lodging and other necessaries were charged on along with the fine. "I want to say that my 'best vigor' was restored and 'glands renewed' in twenty-four hours," says D. B. Peake, but I don't feel a day over 40. Before-started taking the treatment I felt I was an old, 'worn-out' man, but now I am enjoying a remarkable 'gland restoration' and am convinced my resurrection May Gods bless rest on the discovery of such a boon to humanity." Then came the effort to escape. Far back in the pine-woods would be heard the baying of bloodhounds hot on the trail of the escaping poison. Every stump farmed, every country storeker was on the lochset, ready to turn the slaves back to their western. This wonderful formula, prepared by one of the largest laboratories in the world and generally known as Manda, works like magic in its real life on people of all ages and sexes. No matter how low your condition, no matter what your age or occupation, you can be building a "wizard" if you have the building skills and the power of youth. We are so confident that Franklin will restore you that you can go up a slope $2.50 bottles for every foot of snow to keep you true. If the building is not in your area, you are around in every year.

Some of them, unaccustomed to such hours at 8 a.m., had stayed up for it. Just after 8 when most people ordinarily would be slipping the second cup of coffee, gazers through smoked glasses, broken bottles, old camera films and other eye shades reported the first nick out of the sun's blazing disc—and how he did blaze this morning! For a quarter of an hour it seemed as if it wouldn't amount to anything. It was just as if a light or two had lickered out in one of the Italo's electric signs. There were skeptics in the crowds. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 31, 1925 White Farmer Fined and Jailed for Intimidation (Preston News Service) POPLAR BLUFF, Mo. Jan. 23.—An unusual case came before Circuit Court Judge Ferguson last Thursday when John Mansker, a white farmer living near herb, was arraigned on the charge of attempting to drive Negroes away from the cotton fields near his home. He's real motive behind Mansker's actions in this connection could notbe decritely learned. He was convicted, fined $25 and given a jail sentence by Judge Ferguson. MOORS TREAT SPAIN AS A WHIPPED FOE Set Up the Riff Republic and Exact Humiliating Terms of Peace—Proclamation Says Outiook Could Not Be Brighter GILBRALTAR. Dec. 25.—Abd-el-krim, leader of the robbilious Moroccan tribesmen against, whom Spain for some time has been waging war, today issued a proclamation to his forces summarizing the existing situation from the Moroccan standpoint, and declaring that "the future could not appear brighter for us nor blacker" or Spain if she insist upon remaining in our territory." "Our enemies have been spreading reports of peace negotiations between Spain and the Rif Republic," the proclamation stated. "This is not the exact truth. Since the formulation of the existing government of this nation a year ago, Spain has not ceased sending enlistments to treat with us. But we have repelled them with contempt, telling the government and nation with whom we are fighting that we cannot deal with them on equal terms since we are the victors and they are the vanquished. Therefore, we Islamite warriors must impose conditions, which, in the event they are not accepted, will pose a continuance of the war until not an inch of Moroccan territory is professed by Spanish feet and we have thrown the Spanishards 'back to the shores of Andalusia. The conditions we impose upon the vanquished and humiliated nation, thanks to your valor and constancy and the protection of Allah, are those decided by you in the meeting of the tribal chiefs. We will not change these conditions. They are: *Recognition of the Republic of the Riff, whose frontiers will be formed by the mouth of the River Kert and the River Marti, in which territory not a single Spanish position may remain nor warships of the vanquished nation exercise vigilance along the coast; Spain must agree not to engage Musselmen troops, transferring those in the service here to the orders of the government of the Riff Republic; delivery of all Moroccan prisoners without ransom, at the same time paying a heavy sum for the ransom of Spanish prisoners we captured during the last glorious campaign in which our traditional enemy lost more men and materials and suffered more humiliation than three years ago. "The Rift Republic is in reality being talked about in the entire world's press. It possesses more than 50,000 warriors and a profusion of rifles, while shortly it will possess several million for ransoms. In addition it will have materials of every kind taken from Spain, besides money paid by that country for permission to evacuate numerous possessions in Jebalia. With these resources we shall acquire anti-aircraft guns, more motorbooks and other elements." Is Race Appreciative Of Benefits Received? From the Newport News Star There is one very gratifying condition that is being developed by the institutions of learning which is rapidly meeting the popular approval, and that is the tendency not only to fit and prepare the people to earn a living, but to imposed upon them the duty of sharing their earnings with the institutions which have been supplying the knowledge and understanding which have been so essential in enabling one to make good. Ingratitude has always been considered one of the bases of charity; but it is human nature, we ungrateful; and the more we practice the love of selflessness and self-aggrandishment, the further we get away from the duty we owe to those who have done so much for us when we were unable to do for ourselves. Under the present awakening the thought is presented to us that one of the greatest obligations we owe is to make it possible for others to get the benefits which we have obtained by contributing to their welfare, by helping those who build character and improve lives to get the support required to enable them to adequately and properly discharge their work. We often used and heard of that it is better to give them to require, but it is essential of the greatest virtue to give them things we have at BRUTAL TREATMENT OF WEST INDIANS IN ISLE DE CUBA British Government Appears to Have Withdrawn Protection from Negro Subjects Away from Their Home Islands To the Editor of The Negro World: Will you please permit space in your valuable, columns to let the world know of our sufferings here in Cuba, with no protection from the British government, of which we claim to be subject? On Sunday, November 9, 1921; between the hours of 2 to 4, there occurred in Central Manatl a most horrific sight. Mr. Hubert Stultz, from the parish of Manchester, Jumalan, an ex-West Indian regiment soldier, having been with General Allenby in Palatine during the world war, was in his quarters, rented from the Manatl Sugar Company, when appeared at his door, one of the company's policemen commanding him to the quartier without any explanation. Stultz inquired of him his reason for demanding him there when he was ignorant of having done anything contrary to rules of the company or to the laws of the republic. The policeman would not tolerate any further argument, as is customary with them in their dealings with West Indians in this country. He entered his room and dragged Stultz into the street, where he began to chastise him with his machete. Stultz caught hold of the weapon to save himself from further punishment. Then came the policeman's brother, also a policeman, who, without any investigation, drew his machete and commenced to chastise him; then ca, the chief of police and without inquiry started to chastise him, but the chief did not carry a machete, so he took away the machete from one of the brothers and took his satisfaction, giving Stultz a cut in his face, extending from the middle of his forehead to the middle of his nose. They succeeded in throwing him to the ground. Meanwhile the policeman who gave his machete to the chief used the grant of his revolver, giving him several cuts in the head. Another policeman came on the spot with a rope and tied him only as they hogs. The chief at this time had his fingers in his throat until his tongue came out of his mouth. Meanwhile all other West Indians were held off by the other policemen at the point of their revolvers. Being in such a weak state after they finished with him through loss of blood and the rough handling he received he was unable to walk to the station and had to be carried. When he reached the station and was taken inside they closed the door and shut him from view, where they flogged him again. Seeing his delicate state, they had to telephone to the hospital for a doctor, who arrived a few minutes later. The doctor not being able to stop the flow of blood in the station, ordered him to the hospital, where they had to put him under chloroform to attend to his wounds and to stop the flow of blood. Even in the hospital they refused to allow any of his friends or sympathizers to visit him. The next morning in his weak condition they took him to the government jail in Las Tunas. Having no family in this locality, the writer accompanied him over to Las Tunas to see what they intended to do with him. On arrival at Las Tunas he was taken to jail. At 2 o'clock he was taken to the judge for a statement, whereupon the judge placed him under $25 bail, which was paid and he was released. I then took him to a lawyer to defend him at court. At the same time I advised him to press a charge against them for their ill treatment of him without cause, and this was done. I then wrote a letter stating the facts and sent it under registered cover to the British Charge d'Affaires at Havana, but received no reply to this date. When the policemen and officials of the administration heard of the action taken against them they ordered myself and witnesses to leave their property, which was done. The case was set for December 12. On December 10 he was re-arrested and his bail raised to $100. The 13th being the day of the case, he remained there in jail. At 2 o'clock the case was called. The judge was so much prejudiced in the matter, that he only cured to listen to the statement and lies of the policemen and their witnesses and cured not to hear the defense of the lawyer or the witnesses for the defense and fined him $180 or 30 days in jail. I have written again to 'tin British Counsel asking him to see that justice is done in this matter, but still no answer. So, therefore, Mr. Hitter, the action of the British Council and the British government, in matters pertaining to the UK government of British West Indies, in this country showed even in the most important that we are without superintendence and system of more importance, so we are a need to attend to the affairs and actions of the W. W. L. A. and defend the W. W. Hitter, we are always to maintain the witness and WOMEN CROWD CHURCH TO HEAR SPECIAL SERMON Rev. R. H. Bowling Delivers Wonderful Message Sermon for Women Only— His Analysis of Woman Character From the Norfolk Journal and Guide Hundreds of women representing every denomination and class and hailing from as far as Curtuck, N. C. Jammed the First Baptist Church last Sunday afternoon to listen to Rev. Richard H. Bowling's address to women only on "Things Every Woman Should Know" Just as advertised in advance, the pastor himself was the only man present and there was no woman in the audience under eleighteen years of age. Music was furnished by a large woman's chorus under the direction of Madame Skinner. Interest in the meeting rose to its highest pitch at the close of the speaker's address when a young woman was dramatically converted. After being introduced to the audience by Mrs. M. E. Gordon, Rev. Bowling declared that he was moved to speak to the women of Norfolk because he thought there were some things of tremendous importance to a woman which she should be intelligent about. "Her health, her character, her reputation, her eternal destiny, hang in the balance," he said. Mental Opposites "Mentally you are different from the male, being naturally shy, retreating, modest, quick to fly off, easy to cry, inclined to become hysterical by reason of a highly nervous organization. But your very difference in temperament helps to make you attractive to the opposite sex. Be careful, therefore, to keep your womanly characteristics at their best. The desire for the ballot, for equal opportunity in the professions, in politics, and in business, is not necessarily detrimental. But avoid the attempt to become masculine or to apo the once-taken-for-granted freedom of men to do as they pleased sexually. This only results in making a woman brazen and garulous, rebellent to the finer type of men. Physical Differences "Physically you are likewise different from men. But these very differences also make you attractive to the opposite sex. How important it is that you make the most of your peculiar physical endowment. It is not mine to go into an anatomical details. But let me call attention to some important considerations. They are nothing to be morbid-about, no more than the protection of one's eyes from injury and possible blindness. But just as in the case of the endowment of sex in a woman, one must be cautious." Here the speaker went into the consideration of matters fitted for mention only before such an audience as that which faced him. Continuing he declared that under the present organization of society, woman must make up in her mind to be a home maker. "You are under further obligation," he said, "to be absolutely true to your marriage vows. Sickness, poverty, nothing else which cannot be helped, is supposed to excuse you from your pledge of fidelity." To this end I would suggest that you accept nothing which he cannot give. "Gifts" from male outsiders may in time alienate your affections and plunge you into wrongdoing before you know it. "Another peril women have always to face along this line is that of the perverted woman. Recall the words of Scripture, 'For their women changed to natural use into that which is against nature.' Indulgence" in perverted sexual intercourse is as much a breaking of your marriage vows as committing adultery." establish on the continent of Africa a government of Negroes, for Negroes and by Negroes, whereby we will be protected from the many injustices we are subjected to the world over. "I have the honor to be yours also." I have the honor to be. yours; obe idently. JOSEPH LLOYD. Victoria, Oriente, Cuba. Genuine BAYER ASPIRIN Say "Bayer Aspirin" INSIST!

BY NORTON THOMAS Pavo Nurmi, Finnish wonder, superman, runner extraordinary, is now in this country washing all track records and giving to the world a new standard of athletic prowess. Men are inquisitive about his food, his vocation, his manner of living—trying to find the reason for his remarkable qualities of endurance and speed. The thoughtful are figuring—exactly how much of a commercial asset he is to his native land, Finland. Ten million dollars he is already worth to that country, they say, and, true to their religion of materialism, suggest that Nurmi should receive a "take-ok" from the Finnish government. Nor are Nordic writers slow to make capital of the fact that Nurmi is a Nordic. In some places he is being acclaimed as one more example of the superiority of the Nordic genus over all else. Editorials and articles of sport-writers seem to say: The Nordic forever! First in faintcuffs, first in swimming, first in every branch of field athletics. Joie Ray, our chesty Ray, is overshadowed. But what of that? Nurmi is one of our pure and adulterated. The glory isours. So ye unblest take note and react accordingly. Of course Willis is forgotten while Dempsey weds. So are Hubbard and Gourdin who have outshone in the athletic armament. But perhaps it is well that Negroes remember that there are Africans on Negroes, call them what you will, who are capable of eclipsing the doughtiest deeds of the much advertised Nordic. There are men in Central Africa, the finest specimens of manhood anywhere in the world, who can, without special training, without fasting or abstinence outrun the great Nurnal or make Dempsey as lamb-like as a church deacon. There are lads of chonny june "diving for pennies" in the waters that wash the shores of various islands of the Caribbean that could duplicate W. Smitheller's feats at a moment's notice. Africans have the best physique in the world, but, not having attained to nationhood, they cannot exhibit their prowess before the world. They may not have representation at the Olympic games except through a few chosen by white men from a small minority of Western world Negroes. But now and then even our white newspapers are minded to lift the veil. The following article which appeared in the Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch in November, 1923 is interesting: Washington, D.C.-Great Britain has just ceded to Belgium a mid-African area larger than the State of Connecticut which is one of the most interesting and least known parts of that continent and also densely populated, says a bulletin from the Washington headquarters of the National Geographical Society. The tract in question is a part of the *Ruanda* Urindi, territory which lies between Lake Tanganyika and Lake Victoria, south of a volcanic range whose peaks often glisten with snow, though they lie within a hundred miles of the equator. Ruanda is the land of the Wahwbuti pygmies and the Watusi giants, the latter the most aristocratic of all Negro tribes, and one of the last to retain a sultan who holds absolute sway over the lives, property and lands of his subjects. A medium-sized Watusi man stands five feet et eleven inches in his stocklessness feet. Seven feet is not an extreme height. These forest giants are well proportioned and athletic. If some of them were admitted to amateur athletic competition among civilized nations, WORLD RECORDS WOULD GO TOPPLING. An explorer reports a jump he measured of eight feet five inches. Though he had no accurate timing devices, the same observer expresses the opinion that the Watusi men can overtake trained athletes of the Western world in both sprint and distance runs. The Watusi live most literally in a land of milk and honey. They raise cattle and bees. The hillsides of their altitudinous temperate equatorial home abound in big horn oxen, calves, sheep and goats. Dried grass is burned off these slopes, and tender juicy grasses shoot forth in a surprising short time. Yes, Nurmi is the greatest Nordic runner. Old Banker Prescribes Ethical Code for Bankers J. Pierpont Morgan, speaking at the dinner tended George P. Baker, had the following to say about the ethics of banking: "Were I required to state an ethical code for our profession, I think I would say the first rule should be never to do something you do not approve of in order more quietly to accomplish something you do approve of." For a modern speech, this was offering an enormously large prospect of wigwam. It has application for wider than banking. The sense of our modern policy is the assumption by well-paying people that the end justifies the stance. The President, equipping to deliver the wigwam open from the mansion, is due to the wigwam's purpose that he doesn't want to be enforced. FRANCIS JAILED IN ST. THOMAS FOR LIBEL Trial by Jury in the Virgin Islands Does Not Appear Popular with the American Administrators—People Discontented with Way They Are Governed To the Editor of The Negro World Rothschild Francis, militant editor of "The Emancipator," the outstanding political journal in the Virgin Islands, and the champion of equality of rights for these islanders, was tried in the district, court without jury on a charge of criminal libel, convicted and sentenced to thirty days imprisonment for publication of the following article, which appeared in "The Emancipator" on December 27, 1924: "A NATIVE BATESKOI "Something is wrong with our police force, everybody is saying. Recently a policeman fired a shot which lodged in the tub of a private citizen; then he attempted a false arrest, and before we were about to press he used his club in a brutal manner on a woman that he was ordered to take home, we understand. "Merchants and other citizens are indignant." How long, oh justice! How long?" The judge of the District Court, George Washington Williams, a native of Maryland, the writer of a curious article entitled "Misrepresentation Concerning the Virgin Islands," which appeared in "Current History" for February, 1924, in which he openly and violently attacked Francis and his friends who are endearing to Americanize the Virgin Islands, presided Charles H. Gibson, another Marylander who is police judge, government attorney and chairman of the Electoral Board, prosecuted. Judge Thiele appeared as counsel for the defendant, and established all the facts as stated in the above article. Francis was granted a stay of five days to either accept the sentence or appeal. The people are indignant. They consider justice was tempered with prejudice, racial and personal. They are impotent to remedy the situation, but look to their American brothers to assist them, in changing this anomalous situation in an American possession with an un-American system of government, where trial by jury is withheld at the option of the judge of the district court, who is appointed to office by the Governor, a Captain in the United States Army. O. C. St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, January 10, 1925. 135th St. Library Notes Book Evening—Konrad Bercovici, short story writer and author of "Around the World in New York," will speak on "New York" at the library, 103 West 135th street, on Thursday, February 5, nt 8:30 p. m. The public is invited. Discussion. P. Mr. A. R. Wilson, LaFollette, Teen. The letter written a short time ago by Mr. A. R. Wilson of LaFollette Tenn., brings some more direct evidence of the value of Po-r-u-n in the treatment of catarrh disease. It reads as follows: "While attending Billy Sunday's great travel at Knoxville, Tenn., last February I contracted a cold which weakened my system. I have taken only three bottles of Po-r-u-n and feel like a new man. It is a great system build as well as a great catarrh remedy." Herman Perry's Wildcat Financiering Loses Control of Big Concern to the Race, Which Is a Great Disaster Gave White Concern Preference to Race One ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 22.—It is reliably reported that the Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, Ga., passed out of existence last Thursday when it merged its interests with that of a white company which, it is said, had control of the majority of stock of the Standard at the time the vote on the merger was taken. It is reported by some of those who were present at the merger that the only thing the Standard could do was to surrender itself into the hands of W. G. Harris, president of Southern Life, who was prepared to out-vote all of the Negro stockholders at the Standard stockholders' meeting. Some call it a merger and some say it is nothing but a case of the lamb and the lion lying down together—with the lamb inside of the lion. It has been reported for some time that the white company held a majority of the Standard stock; and, if reports of the merger are true, it is very evident that they did hold a majority of the stock, and this is cited as a probable reason why Major Moton and Mr. Rosenwald could not see their way clear to lend Herman Perry $400,000. Something dreadful has been hanging fire for some time, and this swallowing-up of Standard by a Southern white company certainly does spell the end of Standard Life. It will be Southern Life hereafter, and the Negroes can no longer look to Atlanta for their beacon light of insurance. This passing away, as it were, of Standard Life transfers the beacon light of insurance among Negroes in the South, from Atlanta, Ga., to Durham, N. C. Proudly do we turn to Durham, where such men as Spaulding, Pearson, Comex and Avery are carrying on for Negroes and by Negroes. The North Carolina Mutual bids fair, to become the biggest Southern company known to Negro insurance. With the Standard passing out of existence and into the lands of white Southerners our insurance activities become more and more emphasized. In the South we must look to Durham, N. C. In the Northeast we must look to Northeastern and Harry II: Pace. In the mid-West we must look to Liberty Life and Supreme Life, headed by Gillespie and Gibson, respectively, and mid-West of Kansas City. In the far West we must look to the American Woodmen. For the next ten years, at least, these companies will represent the bullwark of Negro insurance. It was thought that the Standard could be saved to the race, and some strenuous efforts were made to save the company, but when the truth leaked out that the white company held a majority of Standard stock there was nothing else for, the stockholders to do but vote for a merger or vote for the cemetery. It was said that the stockholders took the situation with grief and regret, but submitted to the stronger power which had been built up during the past years when the average stockholder thought Herman Perry was the greatest financier the world ever knew. It is said that the truth came to light in Atlanta only when Perry was unable longer to lead the stockholders into his way of manipulating finances.

AND HERMET WORK AND GREENS WRITE AT GROU MIDT. J. BU JAJA BURGUNDY MIL. R. V. GROU, R. V. wall, if the reports concerning the meeting are reliable. The case of Standard serves notice on all Negroes heading big Negro institutions that the day of juggling finances is past, and that every business must operate with its doors wide open and its cards on the table. It is said that there was a hot word-battle-over what kind of report should be sent to the newspapers. Some wanted the truth told, while others wanted a prepared report sent to the press. Just what was done about it no one was able to tell a Courier, reporter at the close of the meeting. Investigation discloses some manipulation which caused the celebrated Standard Life Insurance to practically lose its identity. The Atlanta Journal of Friday last carried a news item that the stockholders of Standard Life Insurance Company, on Thursday, January 15, had voted to merge with the Southern Life of Nashville, Tenn.; that all directors and officers were re-elected; that the headquarters would remain in Atlanta, the Southern Life taking over the agencies of the Standard, and that the new company, would be known as the Southern and Standard Life Insurance Company. Inasmuch as Perry had previously transferred to the Southeastern Trust Company 1,251 shares of 2,500 shares outstanding, which had been owned by the Service Company, the action of the stockholders meant that the Southeastern Trust Company, the whites into whose hands Perry had surrendered, merely voted their stock. The Southern Insurance Company of Nashville was originally organized in 1908 under the laws of Tennessee and had slow growth. In 1913 it took over another small company, whose business, it later sold to the Interstate Accident Company of Chattanooga. In 1917 it disposed of all its remaining insurance to the Provident Life and Accident of Chattanooga and wrote no more business, though it kept its charter alive. In 1932 it refounded the Masonic Annuity of Atlanta, gaining thereby a valuable piece of property in Atlanta, which greatly enhanced in value and put it on the road to prosperity. At that time there came into its organization John A. Copeland, a consulting actuary, a man who had been formerly deputy insurance commissioner of Georgia and a man who is reported to have been the evil genius of colored life insurance companies in the South. For many years Copeland has made his living from "examinations" and "systematizing" Negro life insurance companies at large fees, it is claimed. During the course of an alleged "examination" of the Mississippi Life Insurance Company of Memphis, in the summer and fall of 1923 he found this company in very good condition with a large amount of money on hand and in the bank. Copeland set out to get control of the Mississippi Life with the aid of S. P. Henry, who is also an "examiner" for the Mississippi department of insurance of which his father, T. M. Henry is commissioner. They decided not to attack the problem directly, but to find a pawn to fool the stockholders and public. They dangled the prize before H. E. Perry's eyes, tolling him what a wonderful thing it would be for Standard if Perry could buy control of the Mississippi Life. Perry downrushed that he did not have the money, and Copeland is alleged to have agreed to get a loan from some friends for Perry to buy the Mississippi Life. Copeland and his associates who had never intended that Perry should get the Mississippi Life, took their plan to the Southern Life of Nashville, and together they organized the Southeastern Trust. Company for the purpose of swinging this deal. They loaned Perry enough money to buy Mississippi Life and he went out and bought the majority stock from Perry W. Howard, acting as attorney for his brother who was president of the Mississippi Life, at an inflated figure, and it was announced that the sale had been made. But it was necessary for Commissioner Henry to ratify the transaction. This he failed to do, acting under advice of his counsel, and Perry was compelled to deliver the Mississippi: Life to the Southern Life of Nashville; -to whom Copeland and young Henry had already made arrangements to deliver it. Instead of paying off his loan to the Southeastern Trust Company, Perry used the money in speculations and in a wild program of building mansions for himself and his associates out in the country near Atlanta. He was encouraged in this by Copeland, it is said, who knew that when the notes fell, due Perry could not pay them. Copeland also saw the chance then to get hold of Standard Life for the Southern just as they, had secured the Mississippi Life. They loaned Perry more and more money, which he lost in various unsuccessful ventures, including a drug store chain, a theatre, a coal mine, a contracting and building business, an installment furniture house and other foolish enterprises, taking as security for their loans. Little by little, everything Perry could get his hands on, including a majority of the stock of the Standard Life, much of which had been entrusted to Perry by unsuspecting investors. This stock was what Copeland was often, and when Perry fell down on the rooftop, it was uncontested to Perry by unsuspecting investors. to the Southeastern Trust Company, which only waited, a favorable time to take possession. By this one coup the Southern Life becomes, from a company that had failed to make a success with its white business as late as 1922, a tremendously strong life insurance company with nearly $75,000,000 worth of life insurance in force and assets of over $5,000,000. Practically, all of this insurance is on the lives of colored people, and the assets are those that have been built up by colored people, but have now passed into the management and control of white people. Both stockholders and policyholders of Standard are protected and will not lose anything. But it is unfortunate that the race has lost two of its biggest business institutions through the manipulations of Perry acting as the tool of the unacrupulous Copeland. Perry had been by previous dealings warned of Copeland, but did not accept his lesson. Copeland boasted months ago that "I set out to get Standard Life and Perry will never be able to keep me from doing it." He laughed at the announcement of Rosenwald's loan, which the New York World made several weeks ago, and stated that Perry knew there was nothing to this.

It is known that Spaulding, Merrick, McDougald and Gomes, representing the North Carolina Mutual interest, were in Atlanta prepared to meet any proposition to merge the Standard into their company, but through Perry's secret arrangement with Copeland this was impossible. It is freely stated that Perry preferred to see the Standard go to white people rather than have it taken over by his competitors in the race, the North Carolina Mutual, or the Atlanta Life, of which A. F. Herndon is president. It is remembered that at the time the Mississippi Life was sold to white interests by Perry, three large strong colored companies offered to pay him more than he got from the Southern Life.

LET'S PUT IT OVER SUNDAY, January 18, 1925, will long be remembered by the membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The loyal members of the New York local showed that they thought it to be such, as they swarmed upon the pier and patiently waited their turn to go upon and inspect the S. S. Booker T. Washington the flagship of the Black Cross Navigation & Trading Company, which sailed away on her maiden voyage in sunny lands late in the afternoon. No accurate figures are at hand upon which to base an estimate of the number that visited the ship and took part in the impressive ceremonies of christening her for service. but the number was great and notable, and enthusiasm ran high. The voice of jubilation was abroad in the air and in the courances of those who said-nothing but felt much. President-General Marcus Garvey, the magician at whose command the steamship had come into being, and his splendid wife, were the center of greatest interest and admiration. Mr. Garvey was never in better spirits nor looked more the determined leader, and the great crush of people gave him gladly the tribute of their approval, which most of them had backed up by contributions to the purchase money and reconditioning of the ship. They had faith in their leader, and they backed their faith as thousands of other members outside the New York-local had, to make ownership of the steamship a fact. What a splendid thing it is to have your faith justified by your works in the desired results! It is of the nature of the satisfaction that passes understanding. We hope that the association may have more of such satisfaction, in the gathering, as we go along, of a large and splendid merchant marine fleet that will carry the colors of the association into the ports of all countries. It is possible, and it is the program. A good start has been made, and it should be easy to go on in the good way. The thousands who backed their faith with dollars to secure the S. S. Booker T. Washington think that way, and will continue to move forward in the way they think. Those who do not approve of Mr. Marcus Garvey are beginning to think that, after all, it is worth while to have a leader who leads and a vast following that follows. A RACE WITHOUT LEADERSHIP IS LIKE SHEEP WITHOUT A SHEPHERD M. DAVID GORDON, a reader of the Negro World, who resides at Hawthorne, Florida, has sent us an editorial clipping from the Florida Sentinel, a race paper of light and leading, with this comment, "It does not sound just right to me." The editorial is as follows: We have been praying for a Moses to lead us, to stand out before us as a great guide and inspiration through the wilderness of race problems. No Moses has appeared and no Moses will appear as far as some outstanding individual member of the race marshalling the forces of his people in a definite and decisive step toward liberation from our bonds. We had no Moses to lead us out of slavery but we are out-of it, and in the same way that the fetters of slavery were broken will the bonds that now hold us be broken without a Moses. During slavery we looked to God, pinned our faith to Him, stayed on our knees, were humble in spirit, laughed and sang in the presence of doubt and uncertainty, harbored no hate for our persecutors, and at no time felt our cause hopeless and lost. Without a Moses, without the instruments of physical battle or even the knowledge of military tactics, without capital, without education and without even an expression of our opinion on the question of freedom, we were made free. nowhere if they had not had masterful leadership in peace and in war. What would have become of Europe and America if they had not had such leadership? Now, in a case of the Negro people in the United States, it is a matter of history that in every period, they have had one or more men who stood out from the mass and pointed the way to liberty and opportunity. Richard Allen, the founder of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, and his associates, were among the first to declare independence of discrimination by the whites in matters of religion. He was followed by the great leaders who established the Zion denomination of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. This rebellion against religious discrimination continued to develop leadership to such an extent that we now have independent churches of our own representing all the denominations of Protestantism. No one who lives where it is estimated 200,000 Negroes reside they have virtually everything, with position which is tolerant degree, it is easy for In educational matters, from the organization of the government, we have had distinguished men and women, none of whom stood out as a leader of them all, down to the close of the Civil War, but they sowed, the good seed from which a group of as distinguished educators as could be desired has been evolved. Of course, the anti-slavery struggle was begun by two white men, Benjamin Lundy and William Lloyd Garrison, whose activities developed the Anti-Slavery Society, and this society may be said to have given Frederick Douglass his opportunity to become the first recognized leader and spokesman of the Negro race as distinct from a group of that race. He was recognized as such leader of the Negro people by the thoughtful people of America and Europe. After him same Booker Washington, who was also a great constructive leader of the race rather than a group, and was so recognized. Today the outstanding leader of the race as distinct from group leadership, is Marcus Garvey, who holds a place which is distinct and positive in the life of the Negro people of the world. His contention for the unification of Negro thought and effort and the conservation of Negro resources—social, civil and economic—has gripped a larger number of Negro people and welded them together in the Universal Negro Improvement Association in a way in which it was not thought at all possible, and in a more comprehensive and larger way than under the leadership of any other Negro. This is a time of group formation and group leadership in home, church, politics and business developments. When the necessity arises, when the crisis comes upon us, a leader of the race will come out of this group formation fully equipped to do his special work. Without leadership and where there is no vision the people will certainly perish. FINGERPRINTING SEEN TO BE AN ADVANTAGE POLICE COMMISSIONER ENRIGHT of New York, who has just returned from a two months' tour of the principal cities of South America, announced recently at a dinner given him at the Waldorf-Astoria that he was going to start a campaign to make it obligatory upon every citizen of New York City to possess a police card on which would appear his photograph, finger print and signature. There is a good deal of discussion about it. For once a plan has been suggested that all honest citizens should be willing to adopt. If a person intends to do the right thing, why should he object to such a plan? It would not only be an aid to the police in detecting crime, but would aid greatly in the identification of persons who have met with accidents. Of course, there is the question of the "little old dollar" for registration, which Commissioner Enright says would not only pay for the service, but "would leave a nice little sum for our pension fund." We trust that the surplus really would go to the pension fund. As it would not be an annual affair, and the cards would be kept in the criminal files of the Police Department, if every one in New York City over sixteen years of age pays one dollar, no doubt the plan would pay for itself and some should be left for the pension fund. There must be much truth in the opinion that travel being an education in itself, as Mr. Enright brought this idea on his return from Buenos Aires. There, the system is very popular. He declared it would deter a lot of criminals and unlesirable aliens from coming to New York. The cards are available now in any police precinct, but there seems to be no grand rush to secure them. We trust it may be of some good, so folks can go to their respective apartments without wondering who is lurking in the hallway or under the steps to greet them with a gun. REAL CHARITY AND THE CROSS-WORD PUZZLE IN this hour of the cross-word puzzle craze, many of the old fashioned words are coming back into use. Whatever the hobby that grips the country, it is a boost to someone financially. The dictionaries are in use more now than ever. The publishers cannot turn them out fast enough. We hear a lot about welfare agencies, social workers and philanthropy. How many of us hear of the charity worker? It all describes nothing less than ministering to the needs of the poor. Cardinal Hayes, when he explained his preference, said, "Charity has a full and deeper meaning. Three factors are represented in it—God, your neighbor and yourself." In order to get along harmoniously with our fellow man it is necessary to abide by the golden rule, which is not the easiest thing to do. Is anything of any consequence to do? Should some cross-word puzzle fiend ask, "What is a seven letter word meaning love for neighbor," which would you think of first, welfare or charity? The answer would depend on whether it corresponded vertically or horizontally with the puzzle. There were once three old maids who lived together named respectively, Faith, Hope and Charity. Faith had hollows in her knees from kneeling in prayer and waiting for an answer. Hope looked like a nervous wreck from constant worry, but Charity was loved by all her neighbors for her kindness. One old maid that everybody loves, we know, is a rarity. So is real charity a rarity. The Universal, Negro Improvement Association has a membership that demonstrates what Faith, Hope and Charity really mean in the life of a people. We trust there are more who will come to believe now in the U. N. I. A. and "One God! One Aim! One Destiny!" The Strain on the Editor Who Fixes Your Articles (From the Shrewport Sun) G. W. Wells to not yet an old man, but the products of his literary efforts are stupendous. He has written novels, tracts, and an outline of the world's history. He is looked upon as one of the most voluminous producers of literature alive. But recently he gave up the work of preparing articles, every week for newspapers. This writing under tension and pressure is too much of a stress he must. Both of the most compelling written alive have found it too big a job to prepare something to order every week. But people acknowledge that the magazine has been the only source that does not unsettle The job of getting up copy week after week is often hard on the nervous system. It is trying and enacting and not always conductive to the best workmanship. The editor or reporter fighting the deadline cannot always pause to take care in the proper selection of words, cannot always look well to the ring of sentences. But readers who do not understand are often prone to criticism. They are the defects—they do not understand the difference. So when you over your paper and occasionally see an advertisement that might be impersonal, remember that the editor is intended to write in high speed, white prose, without these and especially to briefly percibly the composition of every copy he writes. Remember the size of the greatest number of the eye page the job of describing any copy is most THE NEGRO PEOPLE OF HARLEM ARE A GROWING PEOPLE. By T. Thomas Fortune No one who lives in Harlem, where it is estimated that some 200,000 Negroes reside, and where they have virtually the run of everything, with police protection which is tolerant to the last degree, it is easy for a person who keeps his eyes open to see that the Negro population in Harlem is being born again. They have come here from all parts of the world and they have all the languages and colors and habits of the race units out of which they came. It will be many years before they become as one in language, color, thought and purpose. Until they do this they will pull apart as do oxen yoked together and waste quite half their spiritual, physical and economic substance. That is to say, it will be impossible for them to unite their forces and resources or the accomplishment of those small things which make for the large things. This is shown in the fact that Negroes buy from the whites in Harlem nearly everything that they require to live and produce, and they sell to the whites very little except their labor, which is always the cheapest commodity in any given economic situation. The 200,000 Negroes in Harlem have the finest opportunity to do great things enjoyed by a like number of Negroes anywhere in the world, and I have faith to believe that when they have been born again and become as one in thought and purpose they will accomplish great things. Looking at the development as it stands today, none but an optimist could reach such a conclusion as the surface indications give small prospect of any such thing. For instance, in Harlem we have few retail stores of any kind, large or small, and no wholesale establishments. When we leave the restaurants and bootblack stands and beauty parlors out, we have trouble in finding any vendor of our own. It is true we have two, or more pharmacists, but you can find a white pharmacist in nearly every block or district, who is making a handsome fortune out of the drugs, the soft drinks, ice cream, and candies, not to say anything of the costly perfumes, which Negroes buy of them. 'This is all natural enough in the formative stage of development which we are having in Harlem, and I am directing attention to it so that we should begin to think about it, and grow closer together in thought and cooperation in buying and selling, as they who sell and not they who buy get the profit in the transaction, and it is as difficult for a wage-carner to accumulate any sort of fortune as it is for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. It is obvious to any inquisitive onlooker that the Negro in Harlem has yet to get his business stride. Another phase which shows the developing character of the vast Negro population of Harlem is the disposition to block up the prominent thoroughfares, and a large portion of the people who go by the left should go by the right, and are inclined to become offensive and abusive if you present their blocking of the way and refusing to give you the right of way when it belongs to you. It would be interesting to know how many of these people number in the aggregate of those who are left handed and therefore left thoughted in their ways, and must necessarily do things by the left instead of the right way. In the course of time they will all think and move by the right, but until they do so, their left-handed disposition will be a stumbling block in the way of their proper of the splendid opportunities offered them as citizens of Harlem. To outsiders who may not know, it may be necessary to explain, that Harlem is one of the finest and most desirable districts in the heart of New York City.

EL ISLAM'S CALL By ETHEL TREW DUNLAP Sometimes my faltering faith has said: "To might and power the Cross is wed. The war-lords of the earth, alas! Are, pious priests that chant high mass, And bishops getting fat behind The altars where they brow-beat mind. And the advancing Cross has dyed The whole world in war's crimson tide." "Why at the Crescent should I rail, When Christian conquest makes me pale! The Moslem is sincere, at least, Although he has been called the beast. Mohammed's sword, it does not lie. The once it doomed the foe to die. Grown broader now, El Islam holds Jew, Christian, Buddhist in her fold." "But, ah! the hosts of peace that go With daggers hid, to strike the foe, Are far more dangerous than, those Who in the open fight their foes." Such sacrilegious thoughts oft find A place in my rebellious mind, When said oppression's soulful plea Drifts from the Orient to me. Then to the Mosque my way I wend, To Islam's rites submissive bend, On love's delinquent errand sent, And drink of Allah's deep content, The heart's misunderstanding chilled, Throb once again with mine love-filled, And hands tradition taught were cold Embrace me in the Prophet's fold. What are our symbols when they part Our minds with strife and pain the heart? Since we have dragged them through the mire Retouch them, heaven, with thy fire, That Moslem in the. Cross may see The beauty, which entrances me, And in the Crescent I may view Some dream the Master made come true. It is said that you use stative live muscles when you frown and only fifteen when you smile. (The muscles of the face are numerous, and I must confess that I have not taken the time to verify that statement. I don't like arithmetic anyway! I imagine that this must mean a terrific frown with the whole body!) Why waste the effort which it requires to frown when, in comparison, you can sniff with so little expenditure of energy? Perhaps the fact that more nervous energy is required explains the matter of the detrital effect of irritability, of which frowning is but an index. It is certain that ill-temper has a positive harmful effect upon the system, upon digestion in some instances, giving palpitation of the heart in other cases, and in serious attacks of fury in those who have angina pectoris is heart disease, even causing death. I may have said in this column, before that John Hinter, who had angina pectoris, used to say that he was at the mercy of EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS The thing for the press to decide is whether income tax payments have any news value after all. If they have no news value, newspapers will cease to publish them when the novelty wears off. But if they do have news value to any degree above the satisfaction of idle curiosity, then they should be published. This test might well be applied to many other things besides income tax payments.—Tampa Bulletin. We might remember three or four things about resolutions: They place before us something definite toward which to strive—they keep us from surrendering ourselves to our unworthier, propensities, which means in the end "throwing up the sponge,"—they are appeals to the best "within ourselves"—they are in truth "solvem pacts between our better selves and our God.—Louisville Leader.

There is no race problem in America, but there is a color problem.

I tell you that those who cultivate kindness and refuse to allow temper to get the better of them shall not grow old so early as those who pay no attention to the ravages of those two evils. Those who are obliged to travel, with the crowds every day should take warning. Ill health, breakdowns, loss of goodooks, premature old age—those are possible penalties for those who grow chronically disagreeable. "And I say!"

Can it be that our education and intelligence is only a veneer that falls to conceal the envy and selfishness that is imbedded in the hearts of many who profess Christianity and a love for fallen humanity? We are reminded of that Scriptural passage, "That by their deeds will you know them." Therefore, oftimes, we wonder—Charleston Messenger. We cannot escape the avalanche of trouble that awaits us, unless of our own motion we set at work to do justice to all mankind and rid ourselves of these dens of vice and destruction. We cannot by sermons in the pulpit and exhortation in the lodge rooms, editorializing in the newspapers and other such agencies, solve this question completely. These will aid and stimulate, but the man in the gutter must get contact and light from the man higher up. He will not come up to you, we must go down to him and in that fashion and Nazarene spirit raise him to a level of decency, pride, manhood and respectability—Birmingham Reporter. In our social life the criminal the Negro, the insane, the idiots the sick, and the poor are segregated and not the law-obliding citizens, nor the white, not the same, nor the normal-minded person, nor the well and healthy and not the rich.

WASHINGTON GIVES AN IMPETUS TO THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION many of us use it promiscuously and without any real and tangible meaning: That word is "confidence." Confidence is one of the things lacking in our people. From time to time we see changes taking place. In the various divisions of the organizations. This is due to the fact that the organization is going through a sifting process; we are gradually shaking off those who are not really interested in the progress of our race. DOUBTERS NOW REALIZE THAT U. N. I. A. IS BRINGING GLORY AND CREDIT TO THE ENTIRE RACE—NQTHING FOR THEM TO DO NOW BUT FALL IN ITS RANKS—PROOF OF THIS SHOWN BY RECORD ATTENDANCE IN LIBERTY HALL—"OUR SHIP" IS THE TOPIC OF DISCUSSION A New Chapter to the History of the Negro Race Has Been Added—The World Realizes the Seriousness of the Negro in His Determination to Go Forward—Still More Co-operation Is Urged The Universal Negro Improvement Association, said the speaker, was like a tree that shook off its dead leaves when a storm came or when it powerful wind blew, but the trunk still remained and withstood the storms of oppression and the storm of opposition. The, dead leaves represented those who have fallen out of the organization, because of lack of confidence. BURROWS PLEADS FOR MORE CONFIDENCE—SAYS U. N. I. A. IS LIKE THE TRUNK OF A TREE THAT STANDS FIRMLY AND IS SPREADING ITS ROOTS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD What Confidence Does for Us LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday Night, Jan. 25.—A record attendance was witnessed in Liberty Hall tonight, which, following the magnificent demonstration of the previous Sunday when the S. S. Booker T. Washington sailed out of New York flying the colors of the Red, the Black and Green, and heralded to the world that the Negro race has placed a ship of its own on the high seas, is an indication that the Universal Negro Improvement Association, which is responsible for the achievement, has received an impetus and that the doubling Thomases of the race have been awakened to the fact that the organization is doing more than working in the interests of its members, but is bringing glory to the race at large. This being so there is nothing for them to do but fall into the ranks of the organization, and tonight's huge audience gave evidence of this fact. "What does confidence do for us?" he inquired. Confidence implies to make efforts. Confidence assures victory for us; confidence gives us the determination to do or die, and only when men and women realize thegratification of doing, or dying will any great effort on their part be accomplished. We can eclipse the greatness, the glory and the power of other peoples if we only make up our minds to have sufficient confidence in ourselves, and not only in ourselves, but have confidence in the great cause which we serve. The trunk of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is still standing firmly because it is deeply rooted and its roots are spreading throughout the entire world. The dead leaves that fall are those persons who are no good to the great cause we serve. Let us, therefore, realize that with confidence in ourselves, confidence in our ability to do, confidence to put forth every effort industrially, economically, commercially and otherwise, we will be able to put over this program. Economics are not only applied in the working out of the great problems of life; we can apply economics in our home life. We can apply a stricter economy in what we spend in order to carry on and support the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Co. Some of us are still spending carelessly and recklessly in things that we really do not need, but there will come a time in our lives, if we do not take warning from the platform of Liberty Hall that we will regret our reckless expenditures. Hon. Marcus Garvey in an inspiring address pointed out what the launching of the Booker T. Washington meant to the race throughout the world. It has added, he said, a new chapter to the history of the Negro race within our modern civilization and has made a stir in the serious circles of the world that but few of us can appreciate. Although it was true, he said, that only about 3,500 Negroes were responsible for the purchase of the ship, the world was looking upon it as the colored people's ship, and in that respect it went to show that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is not only serving itself, but is serving the race at large. In the launch: of the boat, he declared, a thunderbolt was hurled at the conservative opinion of the world that the Negro was good for nothing else but to have churches, poolrooms and cabarets. The world now understands that we are gradually becoming a serious people who are possessed with a serious desire and determination to go forward. Hon. P. L. Burrows spoke on the subject, "Confidence," and urged the members to have confidence in themselves in the organization, in our leader, and above all in God who inspired the great leader to found the Universal Negro Improvement Association in order that it may lead the race out of darkness into the light of a new day. Confidence in what we want—confidence in our organization, confidence in our leader, confidence in ourselves, and above all, confidence in God, who inspired our great leader to found this great organization in order that we may see the true light, which will lead us out of darkness into the light. THE LACK OF CONFIDENCE to a word which a good many of us Hon. Percival L. Burrows was the perhaps in the every day hustle and first speaker. He said: I want to bustle have forgotten.

Individuals of our race have been criticized, but this race still goes on and will not stop. The race to which we belong is a proud race; some of us forget that, and some of us use our pride to make fools of ourselves. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is trying to train our minds not to use our pride foolishly, but to use it in such a way as to make us in the future real men and real women. In conclusion, Mr. Eurrows warned against talking too much. The trouble with this race, he said, is that we talk too much. Let all the talking in the future in regard to the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association come from the leader of this organization. In this way we will serve ourselves, and in serving ourselves we will serve our race. A NEW CHAPTER 18 WRITTEN The Whole Race Is Credited Although the effort was undertaken, promulgated or ploheered by just a few of us, who make up the Universal Negro Improvement Association, yet the whole race got credit for what we did on Sunday. If you have heard comments coming from those outside of our race whether it be in New York or Philadelphia or elsewhere, the comment was that not the Universal Negro Improvement Association of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company has launched a new ship, but that the colored people have a ship. And that is where the majority of us get away with stolen goods. (Laughter.) In Philadelphia, where I spent a part of last week—in shipping circles, as well as in the commercial area, the reference to the boat was not that it was the effort of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, but Jews, Italians, Americans and everybody alike referre to it as the colored people's ship; and no doubt you must have experienced the same comment in your City of New York. I make reference to that because it goes to show that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is not only serving itself, but is serving the race at large. We have not yet reached the standard of business intelligence to know really what counts, but the few of us who have come in contact with the commercial and industrial activities of the world understand really what counts; and among the many things that count is the opening of ships with the intention of using them for what they are intended; and the ship that we launched—the Booker T. Washington—is not only a credit to the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company; it is not only a credit to the race, but it is a credit to the merchant marine service of the country whose flag she files. Has Impressed the World Has Impressed the World And that effort of ours has impressed the world as nothing else has for many years in our effort to reach the top; because men everywhere see in that effort a serious desire, a serious determination of a race to go forward. We did not build a pool room; we did not build a new dance hall; we did not build a new church—the things that are characteristic of Negroes in their community activities. We are, well known to a group of people who have a lot of pool rooms in our neighborhood, who have a lot of cabarets in our neighborhood and who have a lot of churches in our neighborhood. Everywhere you go the average man will tell you that the colored people like a lot of churches and we have a lot of cabarets and pool rooms. Everybody knows that in whatsoever community we happen to find ourselves, whether it is Chicago, or Boston, or New Orleans or Detroit, when you take a survey of our activities we represent nothing else in our districts but pool rooms, cabarets and CATARRAH STOPPED IN ONE DAY Choking Catarrh and Head Noises left the First Day" is the amazing Statement of a Missouri Resident Hawking, spititgh, choking Catarrh and Bronchial Asthma. Head Noises and the many other noises we are not heard any longer. "Now it is possible for those who suffer from this dreak to experience time with the W-R Formula." is the amazing statement of one who has freed from dread catarrh to thousands of people. The Formula is bringing joyous new health and freedom from dread catarrh to thousands of people. "I want to say that my Catarrh was absolutely stopped the first day after taking the treatment, my noses was continually filled up causing my head noises and my friend and to shout. I was continually hawking and splitting and was a source of sorrow nothing of the constant suffering and misery, but I can now enthuse me the first day after taking this powerful new treatment called W-R Formula and complete forgiveness. God bless you." This wonderful formula is prepared by one of the largest laboratories in the world, and generally known as the Magic Box, and comes to work like magic in the rapidity of people on all ages. churches, and outside of that we are not considered seriously at all; and in the launching of that boat we hurled a thunderbolt at the framed and conservative opinion of the world that the Negro was good for nothing else but having churches, pool rooms and cabarrets. They understand now that we have one of the best ships afloat and that we are gradually becoming a serious people. The Thing Looks Good The thing looks good! I never knew the thing looked so good until I went on board the boat Wednesday evening. I was on the boat when they were having dinner, and I sat down at one of the tables and looked around, and the thing really looked good. (Laughter and applause.) There was the purser—a black man, black as I am—dressed up in uniform—the purser of a big boat flying the flag of the United States of America. When I looked at another table I saw two black boys—radio operators. (Applause.) Then when I looked around I saw the black physician and surgeon of the ship. The thing made my head grow big. My head was swollen to see such a big display of Negro progress and development. And that was not only all I saw. The petty officers were all Negroes and the entire crew of sailmen were all Negroes. It was something to be proud of; and to think that that is only the effort of 3,500 Negroes. Suppose all the Negroes would just make up their minds that they would do what those 3,500 Negroes have done? You know what would happen in the next twelve months? The Negroes would become a great maritime power in the world—which the Universal Negro Improvement Association is making an effort to make a possibility. After we get the Booker T. Washington running smoothly and making money we are going to devote our energy to the end that every six months at least we will have another Booker T. Washington on the ocean. (Applause.) Something to Be Proud of Something to be Proud of The launching of the booker. To Washington is something to feel proud about, and the compliment belongs to those of us who subscribed our little info to make it a possibility. It shows what cooperation can do. No one of us or one of ten of us could have bought that boat, because we did not have the money; but $500 of us put our $100, and $50 and $10 together and bought it, and we are going to do more. Some of the people in Philadelphia looking at the boat could not believe that we have paid for that ship. The enemies went down to the plier and looked at it, and somebody said: "My God, that Garvey is smart (laughter), borrowed that white man's ship and brought it over here." (Renewed laughter). Yes, some of the Negroes in Philadelphia cannot believe it now that that ship belongs to us; so they say I am a smart Negro; that I borrowed a white man's ship and went ever there to deceive them, and some of you now cannot believe it either. I believe some of you will believe I am so smart as to have borrowed a whole ship (Laughter). Any man who can do that has a long head to borrow a whole ship and crew and send it from port to the next; that is something wonderful. But we have the satisfaction to know that we own everything in that ship and you can talk with pride then you have paid every dame that this ship calls for, and if anybody says no you can say that Garvey says he is a harbor, because it is so. Everything on that ship is paid for; every dame is good, and that ship is absolutely owned by the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, and the people who have loaned the money to the corporation to carry on its work; and all that we want you to do is to get behind the company at this time and give it enough capital to run that ship in the proper way. A New Drive Next week we are going to open a drive to raise money to buy cargo of our own. We are going to bring back a cargo of bananas and coconuts; we are going to establish a big warehouse in Philadelphia and one here and we are going to distribute those bananas and coconuts and start a regular business. I am going to Norfolk tonight and I am coming back with a business proposition. I thank you for all that you have done in helping us to being the corporation up to where it is. We have made a new impression on the world that the world respects. As Surrogate O'Brien said last Sunday, it is something that should give us new courage and new inspiration to go forward, but we must not become conceived; be modest in our efforts to do more. Now let it be so. Don't bluff anybody; just go steadily on and put ship after ship on the seas, and when they see us 24 months from now they won't know it is the same group of people whom they used to laugh at three or four years ago, because we will then become a great people in the world. People whom we could not come in contact with are coming to us now. People have sought us out for business whom we never could have not otherwise. Through the existence of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company the officers of the corporation—the Secretary, the Treasurer and the President—have gone into places and met people and people have sought us out that we could never meet before because they would believe that we were coming to buy some donation for the church; but when they know that we represent a big business company like the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company we have not got to that anybody; they will not get here because they out and we get into a relationship; that we AT DEALERS EVERYWHERE PREPARED ONLY BY The Pluko Co.

What was more pleasing to me than to see a Negro boy go to the United States custom house in uniform and clear a boot out of the United States. White men used to do that until yesterday. 'It is something to make the whole Negro race feel big. There was a black boy going in with his manifest, with his passenger list for clearing his ship for a foreign port; going to the British consulate, going to the Cuban Consulate, going to the Costa Rican Consulate, isn't that something that should give an impulse to the race to go forward something to be proud of? Everybody in the United States knows now that the Negro can be a person and a Negro can be a radio operator on a boat, and Negro can be pretty officers of his profession.

FIND BUSINESS RECORDS OF UR OF THE CHALDEES Excavator Describes Temple Ledgers of Buried City of Abram Whom the Lord Called — Ancient Building of the Sixteenth Century B. C. and Walls and Shrinés Discovered PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 13. What are believed to be the most ancient business records ever found by archaeologists—one of the records a bolder similar to those used today—have been unearth by the joint expedition of the British Museum and the Museum of the University of Pennsylvania at the Challenges, the buried city of Abram, according to an announcement made tonight. The first report from C. Leonard Woolley, head of the expedition, was received in this city today and made public by Dr. George Bryon Gordon, director of the University Museum. This report contained the announcement of the finding of the ancient business rec- ords, the bookkeeping of the Temple of the Moon God, in the former capital of the Babylonian Empire, before the time of Abraham. The archaeologists have also uncovered, the report said, a "Hall of Justice" created in all probability by Nebuchadnezzar. A striking architectural find, according to Mr. Woolley, was an arch in the facade of one of the buildings uncovered, which the bell-shaped moves back the history of architecture in this respect to the remotest antiquity. The report tells of the finding of the ruin of buildings dating from the sixteenth century B. C., and "still older walls of shrines put up, as the intricately cones from their foundations showed, by the Kines of feln and laren, who ruled Ur 2,000 years before Christ." The report continued: It was obvious that in early times there had been around the Zizurac shrine store houses and precisely dwelling which more or less masked its bulk and were placed here not for architectural effect, but for practical purpose, to fulfill the complicated needs of what was not a church, but the palace of the reigning god, who had about him a crowd of ministers and administrators devoted to his comfort and dignity and also directing his material estates. "How various their functions might he was illustrated by the contents of a small board of clay tablets found in another building, part of the business archives of the Temple of Is-Numah. There were receipts for corn and oil butter and milk and cheese, brought in by the farmers and the dalrymen to their overlord, the Moon God; and, here too notes of the issues of the same rations to the temple servants, a half-bottle of the best oil for the head of a man who was sick, and all the petty point of a big estate agency. "How the smallest item there was a permanent record in the shape of a clay tablet duly witnessed and dated. For those old Sumerians a business-like people, and every month the complete list of tithes was drawn out on an excess of city nearly a foot square ruled like the pages of a modern ledger." The report deals in detail with excavations on the southeast side of the Zincast and of further exploration of the building excavated by Taylor, an archaeologist, in 1854. Chambers were found in the walls of which were brick stamps of the "E-Dud-Lel-Mah" the Hall of Justice. $500 Reward If I Fail to Grow Hair Hair Root Hair Grower In a successful year, our company will receive a $500 reward for failing to grow hair.

To the Editor of The Negro World: Please land me space in your valuable columns to bemoan the great loss I have sustained through the recent death of one whom I was privileged and honored to know, and whose influence in my early life has always and will always tend to incite all that is noble and good in me. I speak of none other than of the great man of St. Catherine, Jamaica, George Lewis Young, the legislator, the educator, the pastor of souls, and the man revered and esteemed by his people. A letter-enclosed clipping of a tribute paid by Mr. S. M. Deloon, of Kingston, to this great illustrious, ebony-hued son of his native land, was my first intimation of the passing of one, whose deeds and whose remarkable personality will be a continual inspiration to generations of Jamalcans yet unborn. Though I glory having been favored with his paternal love and friendship, yet the vivid recollection of the void, which his death has caused, will always dampen my ardor whenever. I would think or speak of him. I recall the days when first, Mr. Young autographed his personality on my.young soul. He was then an elo- A Remarkable Home Treatment Given by One Who Had It. In the year of 1893 I was attacked by Muscular and Subacute Rheumatism. I suffered as only those who are thus afflicted know for over three years. I tried remedy after remedy, but such relief as I obtained was only temporarily. Finally, I found a treatment that cured me completely, and such a pitiful condition has never returned. I have given it to a number who were terribly afflicted, even bed-ridden, some of them seventy to eighty years old, and the results were the same as in my own case. I want every sufferer from any form of muscular and sub-acute (swelling at the joints) rheumatism to try the great value of my improved "Home Treatment" for its remarkable healing power. Don't send a cent; simply mail your name and address and I will send it free to try. After you have used it and it has proven itself to be that long-looked-for means of getting rid of such forms of rheumatism, you may send the price of it, one dollar; but, understand, I do not want your money unless you are perfectly satisfied to send it. Isn't that fair? Why suffer any longer when relief is thus offered you free? Don't delay. Write today. mentary schoolmaster, moulding the plastic will of his young charges. As he took me on his knees, and dolled out quantities of sweets to his little "Buller" (as he had good, furtively dubbed me, after England's ficturious soldier), he took on in my youthful estimation more the personality of God than of a mere man. Then the scene was changed. When next I ran into this perfect specimen of all that a man should be, George Lewis Young had dommed the "bith." He found a larger outlet for the fire of service that burnt within him, had become a "gleaner in Christ's harvests. Years rolled on, and George Lewis Young, the Negro, who, though advancing in years, was "brand new" in thought, refused to be contented with ordinary things. His aspirations had no bounds. His roving spirit constantly sought new field, and his great desire to serve left him on until he ascended the political ladder and attained the highest honor that his countrymen could bestow on him, that of interceding for them in the highest assembly of the land. How can I ever forget the day, when, after the lapse of years, I again encountered this pattern of mine, at a soda fountain in Kingston. His approach was unnoticed, but the familiar "Hello Buller" left no doubt as to the identity of its owner. I realized that I was shaking, the hand of one of Jamaica's greatest sons. A man, who by virtue of his indomitable will, fearless character, and magnetic personality, had lifted himself from out the Sahara of restricted groves, and had written his name on his country's scroll of fame. He was just the same joyful, whole-hearted schoolmaster, that I could recollect when I wore "shorts," and used to perch on his knees. It was the great man shaking hands in a public establishment with a youthful nonentity. Nothing of the "fame-great" condescending noise about him. Today the last scene has been enacted. The curtain of death has descended and George Lewis Young, leading man in the play, has been transported to the glorious stage above. He who was my pattern and inspiration in life has crossed the "Great Divide" to the undiscovered country, from whose bourne no traveler returns.

Raw Laborers Should Be Careful Going to California To the Editor of The Negro World: The California Colored Realty and Development Association, incorporated for the purpose of assisting the colored people coming into the State of California in - securing available land whereby they may become producers, and which is a needed vocation so far as the Negro race is concerned in this locality, has received a number of inquiries concerning labor. The purpose of this organization has not reached the stage where it can consider the question of laborers entering this State. We wish to properly enlighten all people who may have read a previous article which seems to have been misconstrued, according to the inquiries received and persons now applying to our office for employment. The article read that thousands of cotton pickers were needed in California. While that may be a fact, the cotton picker or farmer must be in a position to purchase land and support himself and his dependents while the crop is growing. We do not wish to put ourselves on record as volunteers of laborers, for such is not our intention at this time, but we do wish to put ourselves on record as a purely non-profit organization working for the interest of the race wherever our attention may be called and our efforts needed for the safe protection of strangers coming into our locality. We have rich and fertile valleys bringing an average of not-lees than $1,000 an acre per year. This can be made by the average farmer. Our country is severely in need of such farmers, but allow us to place emphasis on the fact that the farmer must be in a position to care for himself until the crop can be harvested and marketed.

JANUARY 31. 1925 WASH-OUTTH To the Editor of The. Negro World: In an age of enlightenment when intelligence seems to flow over lands as does the tide over the ocean's bosom, an age in which the endless sorpent of steel rails sinuously twine over all the earth; levathians plough the sea, levathians that would be unbelievable were they not palpable realities; an age in which we have myrands of miniature incandescent suns which we are making to glow and darken at our wills; twers scaping the sky; ships of the air traversing land and sea; an age in which people, serfdom and barbarian coeducated by racial prejudice should find no hiding place; an age in which every man should be respected accordingly as his ability demands, irrespective of race or color. Instead, we find that not only in the "Sunny South" but in Illinois, the heart of the Northwest, that we must be frankly and fairly told we can not buy and own business or residential property only in certain sections. Can this be true? Let me see. It was in the Chicago American in the "want ad, section" I read as follows: Business property, South Side, for sale. Will sacrifice for immediate sale, excluding asoline and oil filling station site. Owner will accept $500 down, balance monthly; no commission. Address H. 2126 Chicago, American. Seeing the ad, I immediately questioned for details. The owner or his representative called to see me. Finding me to be colored, stated frankly and empathetically that the property was not colored. He refused to give his name, but stated further, "Should you want a business site of this nature, consult the "Chicago Defender." I think you will be able to find in it business places for colored." If my understanding is correct, this distinguished gentleman has flattered himself. The Chicago Defender, a paper owned, and controlled by colored, does not justify one to assume that it is a paper (or the colored only, but it is a paper for the public generally). The same applies to this Chicago American, though published by a white, the paper is for the good of the public and not any one race alone. Who this gentleman is and where he came from I cannot see. Not from the South, I am a Southerner and have owned property in the South, never have I been told that I couldn't own any place if I had the price. Undoubtedly this gentleman has overlooked the fact that only eighty-one months have elapsed since he together with all of his comrades from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf were crying out to us colored brothers, they called us then, for help as the great gigantic German army advanced at its will from twenty to forty miles in the space of thirty-six hours. Help! help! help us, our colored brothers, make the world safe for democracy! It was all right then to front the line of battle side by side. It was all right to fall together under the heavy rain of machine gun fire; it was all right in those days to die slapped in each others' arms; but now that the war is over, the rear from the great guns has ceased, no longer the buzz of the flying planes can be heard in the air above, the grooming and struggling with angry death is hushed. It's too much now to live in the same communities together, although in different buildings, separated by brick, cement and stone wattle. Nevertheless, we do not regret the sacrifice we made. Before the world knew us through the American white man as hewers of wood and drawers of water, today, how stands the case? Our record hangs on the snowy hill tops of France, in the blood stained fields of Flanders our names are written, and on the highest pinnacle of Gernand's capitol the flag of everlasting memory hangs. Not as hewers of wood and drawers of water. No! But as the bravest and most gallant fighters the world has ever known. We are no longer to be called a worthless bunch of sleepers, we have awakened. We see a record 305 years long of actual service from clearing the rugged forest of America to dying on her battle fronts, from the Revolutionary War down to the days of Perahing. In the year of 1607 the first successful step was made by an Englishman. Only twelve years had elapsed before we were placed by his side. From then until now we have proven the loyalist of the loyal to the cause of America. Is she ours? If by virtue of labor in the time of peace, if by virtue of blood in the time of war, she was purchased by others, to us, too, she belongs not parts nor sections, but all (the whole). Next we see the endless train of foreigners entering our ports daily who have neither labored in the time of peace nor in times of war for our beautiful lands. Yet, we who have done both are told to stand back until these foreigners are supplied with jobs, and If, purchaser, there is any left, or some job the foreigners do not want, all right, Mr. Colored Man, come on. We do not feel, however, that all white men and women are alike, but there seems to be so few who have not this inborn deprivacy that the few have no weight or influence over the others. If this be true, where will this wretchedness end? Could it be expected that we in an age like this are to remain contented under such conditions? Suppose in this city on the south side we would discontinue our patronage with the white, from the grocer to the banker; suppose the great mail order houses, like Sears, Roebuck and others had not received the great chain of patronage given by the Southern Colored man, although it is said that none of them will employ a colred man; then thousands would not have mounted so rapidly to hundreds of thousands and on to millions. It is said the reason for this great amount of prejudice held by our friends is occasioned by the uncalled for errors we make. It seems to be natural for men to see the mistakes and errors of others and thus overlook their own. They should go daily before the mirror for self-examination and adjudge themselves and see just how they stand. Yes, we make erra, sure, we make serious ones. By careful examination we find these as the cause, a long period of servitude followed by a partial freedom of fifty-nine years. Let us compare the two. For two thousand years our brother has find the world under his supervision. In this space of time he should beget and she should give birth to saults, had he and she kept faith. Instead we find their hearts polluted with prejudice against their weaker brother, until their sons and daughters are committing murder long ahead of men and womanhood days. A careful examination of the County Count records will verify this statement. Here I call your attention to two great facts, with which you are, not acquainted. A new colored man has been born in America, not Africa, but in America. A colored man who possesses a universal, an objective and subjective conscience, a colored man who has a spinal system, the center of which is the brain; a colored man with a sympathetic system centered in the ganglionic mass, better known as the solar plexus, the organ of his subconscious. Connected with the static mind is the litter electric motor called the dynamic mind, connecting it with the solar plexus and extending from them not throughout the human system is the live wire or vagus nerve. The moment the button is pressed the electric motor sends the current of energy to all parts, causing them to function. A man with such great powers, will succeed in spite of all the agents that bell car employ. A man that knows that he has a solar plexus has no fear; to him all problems vanish as does the dew before the, August sun. To some this may seem futile, but the scholarly world, will bow on its knees to this undeniable fact. In nature is fixed the great wheel of evolution, on which all men revolve. Slowly, but surely it turns and he who has been on top must go to the bottom, and he who has been on the bottom will truly come to the top. Thank God for this great wheel, which has turned George into the Municipal Court. Turn on until George enters the Governor's seat, and on from there to the head of the nation. It's ours in America first, not parts, not sections, but all. WILLIAM SMITH. 4012 Indiana Avenue, Chicago. A Lilywhite Judge for The Old North State (President News Service) WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 22.—Discarding the protest of Negro organizations and prohibiting the Senate Judiciary Committee Saturday, supported favorably, and the Senate supported the nomination of Isaac Mecklin, to be Federal judge in the Eastern District of North Carolina. Meekins has been a illy. white in Republican politics of North Carolina. He aroused the opposition of Col. Henry L. Johnson, of Georgia, and other Negro politicians several years ago. At that time Meekins was before the Senate Judiciary Committee defending the nomination of Frank A. Linney to be district attorney in North Carolina. Johnson led a large delegation protesting the appointment of Linney because he, too, was a illy white. It is said that Meekins told Johnson that time he did not want the support of the Negro vote. In his State, and that he thought it was a bad thing for the South for the Negro race to participate actively in politics. Linney was subsequently confirmed. Negro organizations and politicians remembered this, and when President Coolidge selected Meekins for the judgeship they procured the record in the Linney case and urged the committee to reject the nominator. Senator Ernest of Kentucky is said to have presented the case of the protestors. Senators Overian and Simmons, Democrats, of North, Carolina, urged confirmation of Meekins. It is also understood that Johnson carried the protest to President Coolidge. But the President felt assured that Meekins alleged illly whitism would not affect his administration of justice.

AMERICA RE-ENTERING EUROPEAN DIPLOMACY (From New York. Herald-Tribune) The Paris reparation protocol is the logical development of a policy which the United States has been pushing instinctively and steadfastly since March 4, 1921. It not only represents the frustration of administration diplomacy, it responds also to a conviction firstly held by the great mass of Americans. America fought the war against Germany in a mood of spiritual indignation. For reasons of justice and morals and as a deterrent to similar crimes in the future she wanted to see the punitive chapters of the Versailles Treaty enforced. Hardly a voice was raised in the Senate or out of it in 1919 and 1920 against those parts of the treaty. Our people expected to make Germany reimburse us for the costs of the Rhineland occupation and pay the war damage claims of our nationals. But they also never lost sight of the fact that they had a much vaster stake in the Versailles reparation settlement than the possible $600,000,000 or $700,000,000 of Rhineland charges and private awards. We had loaned $10,000,000 to European nations. Our manifest duty as a sensible creditor was to assist our chief debtors in collecting from Germany so as to enable them to better to pay us. Mr. Wilson led us into a deep cul dac. Because the Senate would not accept the League of Nations covenant annex to the treaty in the form in which he had drafted it, he induced his Senate followers to prevent ratification. He cut us off from all our war associations, severed our lions of interest with the European Allies and exiled us from participation in the enforcement of the treaty articles, with which, entirely aside from the League covenant, our national interests were so deeply bound up. It has taken us nearly four years to get entirely out of the Wilson blind alloy. We decided to make peace separately with Germany, Austria and Hungary and to avoid entry into the League of Nations. But we never gave up the idea of renewing our contract with the European allies in order to maintain our co-belligerent rights and to help them in addition to obtain what was du them from Germany. The Rhineland occupation cost agreement was the first step toward renewal of working partnership. The Dawes plan suggestions were the second. Non-official co-operation had to precede official co-operation. But the basis of ultimate full official co-operation always existed. Co-operation was an inevitable corollary from our clean-cut refusal to cancel or to pool the Allied debts. It was impossible for the United States to be an intelligent and successful creditor unless our people were ready to put their sanction behind the separation sections of the Versailles Treaty. Those sections were also the main guaranty of economic stabilization and peace in Europe. They had a value for every country whose prosperity depends at all on, European markets. They are a key to recovery everywhere. The United States has been prepared for some time past to revive its association with the Reparation Commission powers. Only Inter-Ally quarrels in Europe delayed external rapprochement and the formalities of agreement. But moral and economic pressure for reunion has been irresistible. Putting it merely as an every-day business plane, we are doing what a country with a war debt stake like ours simply could not afford not to do. What happened at Paris therefore involves no alteration of American policy. That policy was long ago determined by circumstances. President Harding and President Coolidge skillfully developed it. We are today back in the Allied ranks, so far as enforcement of the Dawes plan is concerned—and back for many, decades. That is where Americans have always instinctively felt that we ought to be. The French, Belgian, British and Italian governments are delighted to have us back, and say so openly. Our return benefits and encourages them. It also benefits and relieves us. We are at last out on the world's main highroad and ready to march ahead again with our old associates. THE POWER OE THE PRESS JUST BE IN ITS IDEALISM President Coolidge Declares the American Newspapers Today More Independent, More Reliable and Less Partisan Than Ever Before—Support Your Own Paper WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.—The relationship between Governments and the press was the subject of an address delivered tonight by President Coolidge at a dinner given at the Willard Hotel by the American Society of Newspaper Editors. President Coolidge declared that the cause of liberty was dependent upon the freedom of the press, saying that under a system of free government it was highly important that the people should be correctly enlightened. American idealism, he said, was in the keeping of the press. He warned the editors against propaganda, declaring that it "seeks to close the mind, while education seeks to open it." "Of education, and of real information we cannot get too much," he said. "But of propaganda which is tainted or perverted information we cannot have too little." The President expressed the belief that news, properly presented, should be a cross section of the character of current human experience. He spoke of the divisions in newspaper publication that separated editorial opinion from news and pointed out, in illustration of his point, that newspapers printed the data contained in income tax returns while criticizing the governmental policy that permitted such disclosures. Discussing the "commercialization" of the press, the President asserted that the press can never be too strong financially, so long as the strength is used for the support of popular Government. He said that American newspaper were "particularly representative" of the practical idealism of the people. He declared the American press today to be "more independent, more reliable and less partisan than at any other time in its history." The text of President Coolidge's speech was as follows: The relationship between Governments and the press has always been recognized as a matter of large importance. Wherever despotism abounds, the sources of public information are the first to be brought under its control. Wherever the cause of liberty is making its way, one of its highest accomplishments is the guarantee of the freedom of the press. It has always been realized, sometimes instinctively, oftentimes expressly, that truth and freedom are inseparable. An absolutism could never rest upon anything save a perverted and distorted view of human relationships and upon false standards set up and maintained by force. It has always found it necessary to attempt to dominate the entire field of education and instruction. It has thrived on ignorance. While it has sought to train the minds of a few, it has been largely with the purpose of attempting to give them a superior facility for misleading the many. Men have been educated under absolutism, not that they might bear witness to the truth but that they might be the more ingenuous advocates and defenders of false standards and hollow pretenses. This has always been the method of privilege, the method of class and caste, the method of master and slave. When a community has sufficiently advanced so that its Government begins to take on that of the nature of a republic, the processes of education become even more important, but the method is necessarily reversed.

A WANDERING JEW RETURNS TO JERUSALEM AS IT IS TODAY A Look Over Old Egypt and Its Mixed Races and Their Quaint Ways—Israel Does Not Yet Possess the Hill Tops, but Israel Is Israel By LUDWIG LEWISHON In the Nation JERUSALEM, Nov. 1.—The change from West to East is abrupt and complete. The edges of Atlantic winds reach Warsaw; at Trieste the sky touches the top of the steep little Via del Monte; the young Jewish ploners who trundle their luggage down that street are bareheaded; their shirts are open at the thront; a wind furrows their dark hair; their eyes seek the half-naked hills that jut out into the Adriatic. Night may bring the rainy Hyades; ships in the harbor have passed the Acrocrunian walls. A world begins here which is, in truth, neither West nor East. It is that old, old Mediterranean world which is one, which saw all the beginnings of history, which gave birth to all the arts; to all the wisdom by which man lives, which has changed little, careless of millionlums, dead to tumult. The naked cliffs of Crête, more myth than island, are mauve and tan in the translucent air, rough and yet shapely as the Judean hills. At Brindish, above a sordid little harbor street with shops aping the North, rise a palm and a Roman column, clear, definite yet soft against the sky, solitary and slender as obelisk or minaret, careless of giving shade or shelter, in this light-flooded world. The ship belongs to all worlds. It is a bled go-between. There are merchants from Germany, thoroughly well informed, but not likely to bring home more, than they brought with them. There are handsome, likable British youths going out to colonial jobs and appointments, polly and essentially supercilious. There is a family from Sedalla, Missouri, on a Cook's tour. They cannot, tell you precisely why they came so far. But some day there will be a paper read before a women's club in Sedalla about Bloomsland. The excellent husband and father is delighted at the cheapness of whisky and soda on board, and tells how he made his little pile lending money to farmers. There is a moreose-pusha whose emaciated daughters wears her conventional Western clothes like a masker's costume. There is a suave and Europeanised pasha who flirts in equally good French and English. There is an elderly cloak and suit manufacturer who lives in the Bronx and has, a little shyly, slipped away from his assimilated family to get a glimpse of the land of Israel. At noon the passengers, half-sur-repittiously, glance toward the phung-ing steerage deck. A group of stern-boarded Jews appear. Their phylactery boxes project from their foreheads; they are drapped in their great, grayish praying-shaws. They rock back 'TIS TRUE! YOU HAVE CORNS BUNIONS OR CALLUSES ON YOUR FEET?

KAPLAN The Eyesight Specialist RELIABLE AND REASONABLE EYES EXAMINED FREE 531 LENOX AVENUE NEW YORK Opposite Morton Hospital STOMACH and forth and chant the words their fathers chanted centuries before England had a name. They, at least, are not going east. They never left the Mediterranean world. The voyage is less to them than a pin's price. To them dream and reality were never divided. They are going from Jerusalem to Jerusalem. They know where to find the tomb of Malmionides and the house of study by the boiling springs on the shores of Lake Kinneroth. It is not so simple for everyone. The tourists and merchants bring eyes and minds and leave their souls at home. Their case is not complicated. But how is it with the pioneers, the Chaluzim whose songs are heard from the steorage at twilight? Now that they are on their way it may be that landscapes of the North haunt them—pools in autumn forests covered with leaves of bronze, upland meadows, cities by stormier waters with their lights at dusk. The Chaluzim are going east and south in no light fashion. They are putting off a spiritual garment that chafed and ached. But it had been long worn and its very imperfections were familiar. A garment—a world. They have entered the Mediterranean sun the illimitable sun. If their adventure is to be a triumph, their souls must melt into a new earth and a new heaven and the sight of the flat roofs and white towers of Alexandra's must be to them the beginning of the end of a journey home. The first plunge into Alexandria is wild and fantastic. The Arab burden-bearers swarm in swirls of disorder raising a coldly passionate clamor. Foes and turbans and tattered cloaks of red and blue and orange reel in a strange rout. An old Arab, all wrinkled skin and taut sinews, oneeyed, bent double; obsequious with ten thousand years of slavery, swings a mountain of luggage on his back and rushes forward cursing all who obstruct his path. The burden-bearers, the custom-shades, the train, the way-side glimpse—fields, villages, cities, even the Nile; these are to the thoughtful eye as yet not Egypt, not Mizraim, not the house of bondage. Here is part of the wide domain of the Moslems, of the Arabs whose storytellers told the immortal tales of A Thousand and One Nights, of the folk who still sit in calm places in the cool of the evening telling tales and matching rhymes. Thoris is Alexandria, thoris Calico with its tombs of the Calliphs, with the narrow, clamorous streets of the Moussy, where in the alley of the goldsmiths a hundred artificers mold the soft, intensely yellow metal on little ringing anvils. Here the Arab ladies thonging to buy their golden chains and hammers. They are not swathed in black veils as the orthodox demand. They have reduced modesty to the symbol of a bit of transparent white fabric covering mouth and chin. But an hour from here is the edge of the desert. Among the white dunes of the sand and the rubble of the ages rise the pyramids and on the road that leads to the desert and the tombs there begins the life of the road, that life of the road that has changed little since the vast tombs were built. Women on donkeys or in ox-carts, clad in dusty black robes, men in green and blue on camels. This is Egypt: this and the tombs and the memorials that have been brought from the tombs: golden jewels of kings and priests and princesses, alabaster libation tablets and urns, models of ships and shops, the incomparable statues in stone and wood that were ancient of years when Jacob sought a Pharoh's favor, the throne and bed and caskets and intricately carved vases of alabaster that served the uses of Tut-nakh-Amen. This is Egypt. The Egypt of a gorgeous little upper class, like that of our own owners of castles and sea-going yachts and private railroad carri. Once a Jew named Joseph climbed into this class. Centuries later a Jew named Moses slipped by a legendary accident into the same class and was considered the son of the daughter of Pharoh. I stood in the Museum at Cairo and contemplated the remains of an elaborate and splendid world. Here was a completely equipped civilization. It lacked science; it was not extinct in speech. But its instinct for the plastic was faultless, down to the design and execution of the humbleest utensil of daily use. Into this civilization, as into many another since, the children of Israel were invited. They prospered and increased in numbers, as they have done many times since in many lands, and doubtless were good Egyptian subjects, loyal and patriotic. This state of affairs is said to have lasted for about four hundred years. By that time the prosperity and number of the Israelites excited the envy and the fear of the Egyptians and an anti-Israelite agitation began. The fear was expressed that these strangers would become "too many and too mighty" for the natives of older stones and by the drastic action of a bourgeois polity, the Israelites were regained to the status of slaves. We may be sure that they had friends and detention, that having intermixed with Egyptians during the four centuries of their presence in the land, they had himmen among the members of the ruler room. But the THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 31, 1928 fear of the predatory tribe was too great. For it may happen, the stout Egyptian patriots pleaded, "that when there falleth out any war, they also join themselves unto our enemies and fight against us." And so, the classical cry against a minority was sounded for the first time in recorded history. To these lives now "made bitter with hard service" Moses was probably not the only exception. No doubt there were Israelites of wealth and position who, by giving bribes or by embracing the state religion, saved themselves from the "anguish of spirit" and the "cruel bondage" of their brethren. They probably took good care to have their children marry into one hundred per cent. Egyptian families and thus provided for the security of themselves and their posterity by merging themselves with the majority. Moses was, of course, in an exceptionally favorable position. He was a member of the court and thus wholly removed from the possibility of attack. But when "he was grown up he went out unto his brethren and looked on their burdens." He slew one of their Egyptian tormentors, despite the recorded meekness of his nature; he fled only to return as the leader and savior of his people, steadfast, majestic, greatly enduring, careless of happiness or content for himself, destined to die and lie in an unknown sepulcher after that one glance from Nebo across the glistening waters of the Dead Sea to the Judean hills beyond. Whatever this story be—history or fable—is it not the eternal symbol of a recurring fate? The argument that the Egyptians used against the Israelites, do not the Poles and Hungarians and Rumanians use it today? "Did we not use it against every racial or spiritual minority in the days of the Great War? The story is the symbol of the fate of Israel; the fate of Israel is the symbol of an ultimate sin and an ultimate necessary redemption. The delusion that war is necessary nourishes the delusion that minorities must be absorbed or crushed. It was so in Egypt; it is so today. Thence springs a meaning deeper than he dreamed from the words of that Chassidite rabbi who exclaimed: "Lord of the world, redeem Israel! But if thou will not, redeem the Gentiles!" The redemption of Israel and the redemption of mankind are one. The way goes, eastward still. At Kantara a little ferry crosses the Suez Canal from Africa to Asia. The train winds into the wilderness of Sinai, blinding; white sand in hills and mounds, in graceful curves and slopes. On the sand is the exquisitely patterned tracery of the winds. The direct light pours down. A shadowless ocean of light. Here and there tufts of wilted grass or herb, enough fed a few camels, a few hardy black goats. At long intervals a spring or a group of springs. Are they the springs of Elim? For here, too, are three-score and ten palm trees. They are date palms and the yellowish clustered fruits hang below the spreading leaves. The sea is not far here. Perhaps it is Marah, where the waters were bitter and trees were cast into the water to make it sweet. The Arabis still cast trees into the bitter waters here, an Mosso bade his people do. Then the salt crystallizes about the boughs and the bitterness of the waters grows less. Elim and Marah are left behind and Horeb, the holy mountain, and soon the desert on which the manna fell—"small as the hoar-frost on the ground"—is passed. Hills come and the rumor of ancient cities: Gaza, where was the border of the Canaanite and later the Philistine stronghold and shrine of Dagon; where Samson turned the mill as the asses and others do to this day and then brought the god's temple down upon himself and the adversaries of his people. Here are the vale of Sorek and the cave in which Dellahil beguiled Samson; here the valley in which "sraeile and Philistine confronted each other and young David, shepherd and post, shot the stone from his sling. The hills of Judaea . . . Once groves of the olive, the fig, the pomegranate stretched to their summits. Today the slopes and summits are barren and the great light beats upon them. The ancient terraces are still to be seen. But they are ruined and their stones clutter the sides of the hills. Cave after cave, Arabs live in a few. A woman in a dusty blue cloak comes out of one and lifts the water jar upon her head. Yellow sheep and black goats clamber near a few sun-baked Arab huts. No tree or bush or shade. Only the grim, contorted cactus here and there. The forty years' journey is made in a day. The children of Israel continued their march northeast toward Hebron and the Dead Sea and the towers of Jericho. The train hugs the coast, goes a little northward to Ludd, then east toward Jerusalem. It was long before Israel reached this city. And even when Joshus, the son of Nun, came here with his men he could not conquer the stronghold of the Jebusites. Not until David came did Israel possess the holy hill-top on which Abrahamsy had to sacrifice his only son to God: Israel did not possess the hill-top long and does not possess it today. But cities do not matter, nor walls nor temples nor the tops of holy hills. Before the desert was crossed, before Hebron was taken or the walls of Jehloho had topped, Israel had become Israel. In the desert, in the barron places, a people had said to itself: "Thou must not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against 'the children of thy people; but thou shall have thy neighbor as thy self." And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your hand, ye shall do him wrong. The stronger that SOME HISTORIC NARRATION OF THE AFRICAN PEOPLE AND AFFILIATES Antiquity of African Civilization—How American Slave Trade Was Built Up and Recruited—What the Biblical Record—Summary By Rev. REVERDY C. RANSOM, Jr. Many Negroes today are not aware that their race has had a history. It is not printed in the newspapers, published in books, or taught in schools and colleges. We may know of a few Negroes who have distinguished themselves from slavery. We may have heard of Cripus Attucks, Paul Cuffee, Phyllis Wheatley and Frederick Douglass. Here is the end of our knowledge. We are taught and made to believe our history began with landing of the slaves at Jamestown, that the cruel system of slavery has been a blessing in our development rather than a curse; nothing is farther from the truth. tion and past dating back to 11,000 years. Her history and civilization have been preserved through her priests and written and handed down to her priests from generation to generation. No man outside of their priests has been able to obtain or write her past. She claims the oldest lineage or rule of any nation or country to exist and stand, though broken through intervals. Her present king, Menellk, claims direct descendance of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. They claim Judaism, their present religion, was introduced to them by the Queen of Sheba from the courts of King Solomon. The Ethiopian eunuch, men- Time will come when the truth will be told and our past history will be written and told, to our children and their children's children. Negroes will research, explore, excavate and bring to light to stand in the face of science, truth and investigation to authentically tell the world that we are not a child race (as has been said), but we were rocked in the cradle of the world's civilization at its dawn. When the Anglo-Saxon was a savage living in caves in England and painting himself with blue mud, we were among the earliest races who lifted, their focus to the chilly mystery of the stars. What Is a Negro? What is a Negro? The Anglo-Saxon has given us many definitions to suit his purposes and wishes. The original definition given is, "Black in color, with thick lips, coarse features, big feet, flat nose, prognamous jaws, and a recording forehead." This is a typical Negro. There is no such thing as a typical Negro. The Negro race today and for centuries has had no one type or color, but varied from the chony black to fair yellow and many with beautiful features and expressions. The Question of Color In Africa today and for centuries we find Negroes varied in color and features, according to the sun, climate and surroundings they live in, from fair yellow, such as the Hattentot, to ebony black. Scientists tell us color is a matter of sun, climate and physical surroundings. We may observe a change in our hair and color in summer and winter. The darker races live near the equator and the falcon, or Anglo-Saxon, in Northern climates. In Africa, near the equator and in the swamps and morasses, you will find many black tribes. The American Negro Origin The American Negro Origin The American Negroes, came from the black tribes from the west coast of Africa. The Negroes who came here as slaves represent the inferior, weak and deteriorated tribes who were cultured by the Ashantee and Dehomey Negro tribes with large standing armies and sold to the Dutch, English and Portuguese for slavery. Very few, if any, of the higher or more developed tribes were enslaved. Scientists have observed that, with the sun The degrees, whence we came from in Senegambia and West Coast Africa, the tribes are inferior from those of other parts. The same is true of animals; no animals of western Africa have long hair. The Lion of this country is inferior to the highlands of Algeria. The sheep's wool changes into hair. Many dogs have been observed with no hair. Petshian, superstition, spiritism and song entered our worship and religion there. Tribes on the plaquette in Africa are brown; those in the mountains reddish in complexion; those higher up yellow, with beautiful features and squilline nose. This proves the Negro race there many ages has been varied in color and features and there is no such thing as a typical Negro. Origin of, the Negro or Mother Hametic Asia has been said to be the primitive home of mankind till here of late. Scientific discovery and skeletons later unearthened point to Africa and not Asia as being the primitive home of mankind. The first men were not white, but red or brown. The Hebrew word Adam means red earth or clay-colored. The first men were reddish or brown and lived in Africa near the equator. As they wandered north or south thence their color and features changed. The white man is a later product of civilization. I am of the belief that the original Negro was dark red, with close-curled hair. Our civilization developed in the Sudan or Ethiopia, thence to Egypt and Babylon to India. The ancient East India or Hindoo divinities show broad noses and close-curled hair. Negro types; we also proceed to Burma and the South Sea Isles on one hand and on the other to the land's ends of South Africa. We shall attempt to briefly discuss the Negro in a few countries and nations. The Negro Civilization in Ethiopia, Sudan, or New Modern Abysinia Abysinia, Femnant of ancient Ethiopia or Sudan, claims a civilization with you shall be unto you as the homeborn among you, and then shall love him as itself; for ye were sepurthers in the land of Egypt." From the first exile Israel had learned the known that mankind still waited to learn... tion and past dating back to 11,000 years. Her history and civilization have been preserved through her priests and written and handed down to her priests from generation to generation. No man outside of their priests has been able to obtain or write her past. She claims the oldest lineage or rule of any nation or country to exist and stand, though broken through intervals. Her present king, Menelik, claims direct descendance of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. They claim Judaism, their present religion, was introduced to them by the Queen of Sheba from the courts of King Solomon. The Ethiopian eunuch, mentioned in Acts 8:26-38, was from Abyssinia or Ethiopian kingdom. Tradition tells us that, Ethiopia, Son of Ham, was the founder of Ethiopia; Christianity was introduced there after the conversion of the eunuch by Phillip. The Coptic Bible and church, both Old and New Testaments, which date back to our earliest versions and now used in the interpretation of our Bible, came from Ethiopia. Negroes, then can rightfully now claim Abyssinia, a remnant of Ethiopia, not only the oldest surviving Christian nation, but the oldest kingdom on the earth. The Negro Civilization of Egypt Historically speaking, Egypt is the oldest born of time, the mother of all subsequent civilizations, the longest lived among the nations of the earth the teacher of art, philosophy and religion. Before Rome or Greece or the Anglo-Saxon civilization, Negrus. The ancient name of Egypt is Kinner or Kem, root means black and awarthing. The Hebrew is Mirajal, the Greek or modern name is Alquptos, or Egypt. The language and letter, or hieroglyphics are different from that of other races. They are coptic and Ethiopian in language and character. The ancient Egyptians themselves, Pinder and Herodotus, the ancient historians, claimed their origin in Punt of Ethiopia. Their religion and gods were Sudanese and from Ethiopia, Priehard, the world's greatest ethnologist, says: "They were like Negroes." The white man has tried in every way to rob us of Egypt because she is the mother of his modern civilization. Negro faces and characteristics are still to be seen in Egypt to prove they were Negroes. The Sphinx of Gyeh, the world's greatest monument and work of art, is the face and monument of a black Negro Pharaoh. There are 7,000 years of known history of the valley of the Nile during which three great dynasties arose. The first 2,000 years: the second 2,400 years, the third 1,500 years. Think of the durations of these civilizations and compare them with the transitory kingsdoms and civilizations of the white man of today. Go today to the museums, see for yourself the mummies and paintings of Egypt preserved through ages, if they are not Negroes. At I University of Sylvestran, Rabbitfather, father of recent fnd. Tut-Anhk-Amen, with his heavy features; Neferet, with the nose and lips of a Zulu; Ahmnes and Nefertain are unmistakably Negroes. We have been reading of late in our newspapers and magazines of the discovery of the tomb of Tut-Akh-Amen by the Earl of Cirmarvon, Pharaoh of the 18th dynasty, who lived about 3,400 years ago, and said to have been a contemporary of Moses. The civilization and spiromonds which are being unearthed in this tomb have marveled the world. The works of art are said to have been among the finest found and are intact. A close examination of a photograph published in the New York Sunday Times of February 11 upon a close examination from his Negro features and black face show he is unmistakably a Negro. In all this great excitement of today, though unearthied and preserved, very few Negroes or people will ever know Tut-Akh-Amen to be a Negro. Time and space will not permit us going further into Egypt. The Negro Civilization of Babylonia Babylonia, contemporary with Egypt, boasts of a civilization dating back as far as 500 B. C. Like in Egypt, the Anglo-Saxon has tried to claim and rob the Negro credit of its civilization or people. The ancient Sumerians, the founders of Babylon, like in Egypt came from Ethiopia or the Sudan. The language, gods and customs are skin to those of Egypt and Ethiopia. So are her gods and religion. Nimrod, whose image is on the Babylonian coin, characterized in the Bible "A mighty hunter before the Lord," said to the Romulus, or founder of Babylon, was a Negro. Trace his ancestry in your Bibles to Canaan, thence to Ham. The Babylonians were beautiful to behold, a mixture of many Negro complaxions and shades, Think of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon; as a Negro. The Negro in Bible. History Negroes have not been given any part or place by the Anglo-Saxon in Bible history. All of the pictures of Jesus are white and the Illustrations and scenes of the Bible are credited to the Anglo-Saxon. tea, the Amonites, the Perissites and Jebusites, which were African Negro tribes. The land of Canaan, trace Canaan in your Bible direct to Ham. (Genesis 10:60. Sons of Ham are Cush. Ethiopian; Misarim, Egyptian; Put, Egyptian, and Canaan, the founder. The Jews, after taking possession of the land, intermarried the Canaanites, thus making their Negrord race or Semitic mixed, and Negro blood flowing, through the veins by our Saviour. Zipporah, the wife of Moses, was a Negro. The Ethiopians claimed Moses' father was a prince of Egypt and his name is recorded as being one of the princes of Egypt. He was a brown man in color, not white (read Ex. 4:7). The prophet Zephaniah is said to have been a Negro. Bath-sheba, the Hittite, the wife of David and the mother of King Solomon, was a full-blooded Negro. Solomon himself admits he was "black and comely" (Songs of Solomon 1:4). Pubulus Lentus, the Roman scribes, who is said to have given a description of Jesus the prisoner according to Roman law, gives this description of our Saviour: "He was a man in stature of about six feet. His hair being wincored and overflowing, the shoulders. His countenance conylineing to behold, yet with a note of tenderness and authority. He was the color of a filbert." a nut of reddish hair. Thus making Jesus neither white or black. This record of Pubulus. Lentus is only to be found published in the ancient church histories. St. Augustine, one of the early church fathers, was an African and of African and of Negro blood. Negro Civilization on West Coast Congo Egypt and Ethiopia, are not the only contributions Africa has made in the beginning of order and culture. There are evidences that the valley of the Congo has also had a great civilization that once flourished on the coast of the Gulf of Gulane, that even Egypt learned in culture from Sudan, the land of her cradle, and the Southern lure drew masses there even to the ends of South Africa to found a government of some sort of culture. In the 14th century Oln Batura, the greatest Arab traveler of his day, visited Kitaa, a city in East Africa which had three hundred Mogues. Its houses were beautiful and well built. The Negro empire during the reign of All-Ghajjaldea, that not only were the pots dishes and drinking vessels of his household of pure gold, but that the spurs and bridles of his dogs were also gold. That was the golden age of Central African Negro culture. Here a Negro empire around Lake Chad, and embracing 8,000,000 people was then the Rome of her day, dominating a great area. We might mention Melle and Sanghay, in Northwest Africa, and Toruia, Borinn of Banghirthal, Wadze, Darfur, Zez-Zeg and the Bornu peoples. These have been great African States whose civilizations were remarkable in their day. To hear the white man talk one would think he has ruled since time began. Tell him that when he was a dirty and tainted savage, painting himself with blue mud and living in caves in his food when found by Caesar, we were snipping to our priests and praying to our gods in Egypt and had a form of music and sense of beauty he has failed to attain. Tell him that we were among the earliest races to lift their faces to the chilly mystery of the stars. When the white man points us to skyscrapers he has built to fret the domes of the heavens, tell him that more marvelous, before he was, that we built the Sphinx of Gizeh and the pyramids of Egypt, which have stood on the desert vaults in God's sunlight in silence for over 4,000 years. Tell him that when the world was young and without ages to guide us, we invented the smelting of iron, without which it would be impossible to erect its great structures. When the white man speaks of Julius Caesar, Napoleon, Prefect of the Great and his mighty men of valor on the battlefield, point him to Hannibal, Napoleon's understory; Black Mession; Chaka, the Zulu general, and the black Pharaoh who ruled for centuries. When he tells us of Shakespeare, Milton, Longfellow and his great ports, tell him we are not ashamed of Lumus, Tushkin and Paul Lawrence Dunbar. Negroes have distinguished themselves in every age. The Scopre of the world's civilization was first in the hands of the black and yellow races. Now it is in the hand of the Anglo-Saxon. He is doing no better at it than we did in our day. God has given different faces their turn at the wheel of obligation. Time is not far off when the swamps and the morasses of Africa shall be drained and we shall come to our own. I see the black giant arises and shake off the dust of the ages from his eyelids and claim his own among the children of men. I can see black men and black women coming down the corridor of time, rise to take their rightful places and stand in God's sunlight among the children of men. Prophecy must yet be fulfilled. God's word will prove true, "Ethiopia shall stretch forth its hands unto God." COUNTRY GIRL IN BIG CITY FINDS THRILLS A girl comes to a large city looking for adventure. Mother has very carefully outlined the final lecture about the pitfalls of life. To mother, one ear seems open and words pass out the other. The girl has written to a friend who preceded her and is doing fairly well in the big city and is confident of her living quarters being all right. Both are filled with temporary glee at the sight of each other. The city explains her mode of living to our small-town miss. The ear that seemed closed to mother heard well as she remembered the lecture. Our little adventures tried a job as a stenographer, and makes enough to meet expenses, but not enough to dress like the other girls around her. The girl's employer is of middle age, and after a few weeks of trial invites her out to lunch. She accepts, thinking it will save her pocket change. The invitations are extended to supper and the theatre. She seemingly gets a thrill out of the invitations and wishes mother could meet this "lovely man." The employer tells the girl the usual story, that he loves her, and if she should marry him things wouldn't seem so difficult. Wonderful. Her first proposal! After a few more theatre engagements they are quietly married. He changes his once bachelor apartment to that of an honest-to-goodness married man. The girl decides to tell mother, but after consideration thought she would see how long she could keep it a secret. This sudden thrill lasts a short time. She remembers mother's caution about strange men and short acquaintances. If only mother were near, maybe she wouldn't be so displeased after all. A year passes and the young with now presents us with a fine baby boy. There is a new thrill, but the husband finds other interests. Having no one to sympathize with her, she thinks she had better go home to mother. She writes mother she is coming, and of course you know the general homecoming preparations mother makes. When mother sees the pink blanket, she doesn't know whether it would be most convenient to faint or go into hysteria. The sad tale is tearfully narrated. With a helpless little concern so innocently looking in your face, what is there to say? We will presume there is the usual forgiveness. The baby must be taken care of, and the little mother starts out once more in a desperate effort to face the world and obstacles. She says she has no desire ever to marry again. Mother has agreed to let her stay at home until the baby is older. Another man cries along with a different tune to his song. No, she doesn't want to marry; then, too, he doesn't know. After a while he says that it is all right; he is willing to care for the baby, too. The man being a whisher has a home already furnished. That "listens" fairly well. There would be a great difference in living in an honest-to-goodness house, fixed all cozy, than an good stuffy that She asks mother's opinion. The reply is that she use her own judgment. She accepts the offer. Another thrill for a shorter while, then the boy begins to be an expense. He is a real boy and breaks whisps when he glays ball and they have to be paid for. The husband tells her there are girls who are "unattached." Our adventures is left once more to face the world. She thinks it is a hateful old world, but she just didn't think long enough to weigh matters. Another case of deciding what is right.

ETHIOPIA WATCH CO. Sails 18, 179 W. 414st N. New York City RADIO $8.75, COMPLETE ```markdown ``` OUR WOMEN and WHAT THEY THINK-Edited by Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey WOMEN AND WORLD PEACE WITH the entry of women into politics and big business the next important factor that is engaging her attention is the problem of war. Should she bring children into the world, train them to the best of her ability, and when they arrive at an age of usefulness see them "snatched from her and used as canon-fodder or munition workers?" The woman of today rebels against this ancient custom that robs her of her most precious gift—her children—and yet debars her from questioning the "whys and wherefores" or the justice or injustice of wars. In some countries politics has given the sex a voice in the affairs of government which enables her to decide nationally the important question, "To war or not to war?" But her voice in politics in these countries is still young, therefore weak, while in others it is inaudible. Consequently she has divided her attention between politics and educating public opinion toward world peace. Many women's conferences, national and international, have been held to discuss the cause and cure of war, but we believe that more stress has been made on the cure than on the real cause, which has been overlooked; hence the diagnosis is wrong and the cure when applied will not be effective. "War," said a famous lecturer, "is the outgrowth of a state of mind." The state of mind of the powerful nations of the world is made up largely of selfishness, greed and avarice. They have no regard for the rights of weak peoples, and wage war on defenseless groups to fill the coffers of their treasuries, to expand their national boundaries, and to find an outlet for their surplus population. What matter if a few thousand Negroes are killed yearly mining diamonds to adorn the bodies of white women? Who cares if sixteen million Negroes are maimed and slaughtered in seven years in order to produce rubber for the Belgians? Does it matter at all if all the mineral wealth of Africa and India is robbed and exploited by the powerful white nations of the world to satisfy their greed? Is the small, wee voice of conscience stilled in the breasts of statesmen who administer the affair of those big nations? This is the age of force and power. "Might is right," is their cry, and who dares dispute their claim must fight it out or submit to oppression and exploitation. Some organizations are agitating for international peace, but we believe that such an era will never dawn until nations learn to respect the rights and privileges of unorganized peoples. The same spirit of avarice that prompts the exploitation of weak peoples will cause strong nations to fight each other for the spoils of their pillage. There can be no peace among nations until there is peace in the whole world, and oppressed peoples everywhere, of every creed and race, are determined to get freedom and independence or die fighting for it. Powerful nations will always be kept busy stemming the tide of liberty and democracy, until they practice it among all humanity. Women are playing a very important part in bringing about humane legislations, and it is hoped that they will use their influence and educate international opinion to the tenets of true Christianity—which they profess—and which is embodied in these two scriptural injunctions. "Man, love thy brother," and "Do unto others as you would that they should do to you." ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE LIFE is made up of ups and downs, joys and sorrows, failures and successes; but the man or woman who can smile and hope when he or she hits the grade is the one who will be successful in the pursuits of life. No individual can go through life without encountering difficulties, hardships and even misfortunes. Rich or poor, young or old, we all have our troubles, our moments of sorrow and despair. If life were all of joy and mirth even that continuous state of bliss would become monotonous; but punctuated by a little grief or a little trouble, joy is better appreciated when it comes. Hardships fit us for higher service and bigger responsibilities. It often moulds our character and shapes our life's destiny. Arm yourself therefore with the knowledge that setbacks must come—they are necessary evils—and when they occur you will not be taken unawares and weakened by the shock and suddenness of them; but meet them with a smile and; with faith in yourself, overcome them and steer straight for the port of success.

We pictured the child's sufferings, his mother's frantic attempts to remove the boiling hot mass of sticky jam that tortured the child's tender skin and flesh. The deformity, perhaps, resulting from burned muscles and tendons. And we hoped that she was brave enough to wash the hot jam off, to cover the injured surface with comforting dressings that would keep the air from burning it. One of the first things to do when the skin surface is burned or scalded is to protect it from the air. This relieves the pain. And there is all important. The seriousness of a burn or scald depends upon the depth of the burn and the extent of the skin surface involved. Burns may be of three degrees. There is only redness of the skin in a first degree burn. With a second degree burn there are blisters. A third degree burn is very serious, showing charring and destruction of the tissues. The secondard effects of a burn are often very grave. Infection may set in, through careless treatment, pus will form and even blood poisoning may result. Shock is always to be anticipated and expected in burned or scalded patients. If the skin surface is unbroken, copious application of sweet oil, vaseline, unsalted lard or cold cream will help to alleviate the pain. But if there are bilisters or broken skin surfaces do not greasy applications. Instead, use applications of soft muslin or game squeezed from a solution of baking soda and water, or even apply the soda and water in a soft paste. But cover the burn up! The air increases the pain. Always open a doctor promptly in cases of burn, and meanwhile cover the patient warmly, keep his hand low, open the windows and avoid enterriment, as he is bound or soaker from blood, blood-graph and blast. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 31, 1925 Sir Bruce Bruce-Porter, famous London physician, condemns the use of rubber corsets and girdles worn by some women in their attempt to acquire a boyish figure. While we do not think girls and young women should use these rubber articles because of the prospects of motherhood, yet older women who are abnormally stout and out of p. proportion should use every means to look normal and feel comfortable. The following is the physician's opinion, and is very interesting: "It is unnatural for women to have a figure which is described as boyish. To get that figure a belt has been put on the market which can only be called damnable. I must warn parents not to let their young daughters wear them. When growing from girlhood to womanhood girls begin to get a widening of the hips, which is natural and proper. It is essential for happy motherhood that such growth should not be restricted. These appalling belts prevent the growth of important muscles and are becoming a national danger, and a danger to the mothers of the future. "Nothing is more certain than that nature will punish those who misuse their bodies. The girls of today pride themselves on getting rid of their mother's Victorian corseus. They must bowear lest they get into the worse bondage of the infernal band called the rubber corseus." Its upholders say that whether it is good or bad the rubber corseus has achieved what was claimed for it—fresh reduction. And through the ages, say the cynics, woman has been content to suffer virtual martyrdom to put off the "too, too solid flesh," which Hamlet complained about. Women doctors generally are disposed to agree with Sir Bruce Bruce-Porter that the rubber corseus is injurious, especially when they are worn for too long, and certainly when their use is carried to the extreme of sleeping in them. However, those who are dreading fatness take the advice of friends who have benefited by the rubber corset, and doubtless the fashion will continue for some time. Useful Articles Made from Paper Paper tray-cloths, imitating drawn linen thread, are sold in three or four sizes, and velvet crepe tablecloths in one. Lace doilies are closely imitated on paper, almost every kind of lace being copied. Lace desser papers are also seen in great variety, being usually put up in packets containing 36, 48, or 72 papers. Paper table napkins are shown with lace clippings, as are shelf papers. The sale of paper napkins, by the way, is enormous, and has increased considerably during recent years. The most popular kind are made of white crepe paper, with a floral or lace border. Plates made of paper, but these are neither cheap enough nor strong enough for general use, although no doubt many people would be glad of crockery that could be piled on the kitchen fire after each meal. Paper lace is really wonderfully made. It is nothing of value, of course, and is probably rather despised by most people, but it fills a want and is therefore manufactured in quantity. Some pretty little things to take the place of confetti are now being made of paper, including silver slippers, horseshoes and colored blossoms.

She just can't help remembering that we will pass this way but once. And occasionally some of her victims think it is once too often. Across the glass top table from the Woman sat a sad, lonely looking littl' lady in brown, eating a meager lunch. Now, cigarette smoking, rouged persons the Woman passes up, for they stand in no need of merely feminine cheer. But here was a thing, dear, not to be left undone. As they were scat at a table near the window the Woman ventured to remark that she thought people in New York had happier faces than those in small towns, and that she thought the reason was that there were so many distractions that people had less time to think of themselves. The "heart's deep well" or lady met this overfure with a hauteure more freezing than her "ice cream, 26 cents." "I have never seen any people in small towns. I have lived all my life in New York. You are from the country, I presume?" Nothing daunted, the Woman still persists in carrying diminutive toys in her bag to startle and waylay the progeny of the traveling public. On a Madison avenue surface car she recently produced a tiny tin engine to intrigue a small East Side boy. "He don't want that. He's got one at home, unmapped his mother. "But this is just for him to look at." "He don't like to look at what/doesn't him!" Perhaps the poet who wished to confine his activities to a house by the side of the road knew best. "Are You the Girl?" "Try an adult camp if you want a change," they said to the Woman, and she tried it. True it was a change from the usual summer hotel life in that men and maids and matrons went about in knickers in the daytime and at night, instead of sleeping in stuffy little rooms, slept in breeze, cooled tents on the Lake George shore. But all the rest of it—the dressing for evening dinner, the formal introductions, the dancing and the dreadful amateur theatricals—were just the same as at any summer hotel where she had ever been. One night, decidedly, bored, she was just leaving the dance hall when she overheard something somewhat startling. A rather well set up man, early in his 30's, came up to a slim little miss with jet black hair." "May I have this dance!" "Of course," she said, as in her cool, sweet, flowered frock she slipped into his dark blue coated arms. "Say, by the way," he wanted to know, "are YOU the girl I went out in the canoe with last night?" NOTES OF INTEREST DORPAT, Lithuania.—Prof. A. Wannach has recently performed a number of surgical operations at the Dorpat University Hospital which have attracted much attention because hymnals was substituted for narcotics. LONDON.—According to a survey in England and Wales there are 140 women employed as undertakers, five as stewardess, eleven as jockeys and trainers, six as aviators, twenty-three as chimpney-sweeps and 1,000 working in "men's jobs" on railroads. Over 50,000 girls and women are listed as farm hands, while forty-two of these are shepherdesses. Many are employed as plumbers and gunsmiths. A beautiful maiden under thirty-four, a collegiate graduate, an efficient housekeeper and a cultured lady, has called upon the State of California to find her a husband.

Blind Member's Wife Has Special Privileges LONDON.-The World War has caused many changes at Westminster, but few greater than the special permit granted by Speaker Whitley which gives Mrs. Ian Fraser the run of the House of Commons. Mrs. Fraser is the wife of Capt. Ian Fraser, Conservative member of Parliament for the north St. Pancras division of London. Capt. Fraser is blind, through war wounds. His wife is his chief helper and "parliamentary secretary" and she emphasized on the staln House of Commons "officials that she must be with him always. As far as "The Lobby," or the "Strangers' Gallery," or even the "Members' Gallery," there were no great obstacles, but when it came to "committee rooms," etc., the officials could not admit her. Speaker Whitley, however, with characteristic tact and consideration, issued a special permit granting Mrs. Fraser admission to any part of "the Palace of Westminster" with her husband, with the single exception of the "Floor of the House." Mrs. Fraser can now lead her husband up to the very doors of the debatting chamber, where compassionate members are always ready to lead him to a handy seat. Thereupon Mrs. Fraser waits at the doors until he comes out, and is the privileged occupant of a space hitherto kept free from all but actual members and officials of the House. $3.00 Value $1.00 Foreign Send 25c Extra Grower for falling dry hair, 50c;.

Scientists admit they are "germ" diseases and to cure them the germ must surely be destroyed. There's no longer reason for having poor, unhealthy scalp and dull lifeless hair. It has been proven that MADAM C. J. WALKER'S WONDERFUL HAIR PREPARATIONS are directly opposed to harmful germ life, that they attack only diseased tissues, tend to keep the scalp free from dandruff and itch, allay falling hair, enrich the scalp, stimulate growth and make for long lustrous hair.

His main thesis is that she is giving away under the strain involved in kelt-confidently defying tradition and convention. He thinks the price she pays for what she considers her freedom is a shortening of her years, an inability to reap all that should be harvested from life, physically and spiritually, and a general depression of health. If it be established as a universal fact, embracing the whole country, that the death rate among women is greater than among men only, between the ages of seventeen and thirty-two, the reasons are to be sought elsewhere than in the woman's enjoyment of "this freedom." Tuberculosis, childbirth and influenza are assigned as the principal causes of mortality in these 15 years. But, one of the bonks of medical science is the relative conquest of perils attending childbirth, and women would hardly seem more susceptible to influenza than men. Tuberculosis remains as young womanhood's most deadly enemy. It is "defiant and resistant" at the ages mentioned, though yielding in all other groups of the population... This is where faulty diet and late hours tell most heavily on young women engaged in commercial and industrial employments. The practical remedy seems to lie in a return to the normal life of the mothers, and every influence of church and school, of teacher and doctor, should be directed to such a readjustment of social life as would assure her proper proportion of healthful repose to the young woman who spends her working hours in office or factory. —Philadelphia Bulletin. Important to all Women Readers of this Paper Thousands upon thousands of women have kidney or bladder trouble and never suspect it. Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease. If the kidneys are not in a healthy condition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased. You may suffer pain in the back, heart, or limb in addition. Poor health makes you nervous, irritable and may be despondent; it makes any one so. But hundreds of women claim that Dr. Killmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring health to the kidneys, proved to be just the remedy needed to overcome such problems. Many send for a sample bottle to see what Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder medicine will do them. By enclosing ten cents to Dr. Killmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., you can purchase a Parcel Post. You can purchase medium and large size bottles at all drug stores. Every married woman should write for Free Hook written by Dr. Burroughs, a graduate physician. Dr. Burroughs has spent forty years treating women for diseases peculiar to their sex and in his book tells why so many married women have been denied the blessing of children—why they are broken down physically in early life. This book is written in plain language and tells how pain and suffering, so common with women, may be overcome and the blessing of becoming a mother be granted by the use of a simple home treatment. Dr. Burroughs wants every married woman to have a copy of his book, so if you will send your name and address it will be mailed to you in plain wrapper absolutely free, with passage paid. Every woman owes it to herself and family to have good health, and this book may be the guide to a show you know. Write today for your copy—it's free and places you under no obligations. R. C.

In view of all the circumstances, the settlement which our representatives have reached with the Allies in regard to this country's clams against the German Government seems eminently fair. Under this settlement we will not receive, it is true, the last dollar to which, in a strictly commercial arrangement, we would be technically entitled: Our claims amount to approximately $250,000,000 to cover the costs of our army of occupation and a maximum of $350,000,000 to cover ASTHMA STOPPED IN 10 MINUTES After Taking First Dose of Aasthma-Tabs is the Amazing Statement of a Canadian Resident Coughing, wheezing, Choking, Asthma-Tabs need not fever and shortness of breath need not be dreaded any longer since the discovery of a well known chemist who developed a new drug from this dread disease to "stop their troubles often in a few minutes with Asthma-Tabs" who has taken the treatment.

Under the settlement arrived at this country is expected to receive approximately $25,000,000 a year until the full $600,000 has been paid. The plan, however, makes no allowance for interest. In view of this, one calculation has placed the present capital value of the payments this country is to receive at $116,250,000; but the uncertainties involved make any reliable estimate of this impossible. The settlement, viewed in its larger aspect, is all that we could reasonably have expected. The American government has won nearly every essential point for which it contended. Great Britain has finally conceded our right to share in the Dawes annuities from Germany. The claims for our army of occupation costs, after September 1, 1926, will have priority over any other payment to the allied governments and will yield priority only to the interest on the recent German loan made after the Dawes plan went into effect and to the expenses of various commissions. In view of the fact that our army of occupation was kept in Germany largely at the request of the Allies rather than at our own wish, and that the army occupation costs of the Allies have already been taken care of, this present priority represents no more than our clear right. The Allies, however, have acquired fully in our position. While the payments we are to receive for army occupation costs are fixed in amount our war damage claims are put upon a different status. Here we are asked to take our chances with the Allies. For these claims we are to receive 2½ per cent. of the German payments under the Dawes plan every year up to an annual amount not to exceed $11,250,000. Our receipts for war damage claims will vary as the German payments vary. But in regard to the justice of this arrangement, in view of the fact that the Allies will be subject to the same uncertainties in this respect, there would appear to be no ground for complaint. TRIBUTE TO BRILLIANT EDITOR, R. F. DOUGLAS To the Editor of The Negro World: To the Editor of the Negro World. I am pleased to bring to your attention the name of Mr. Robert F. Douglas, the genial managing editor, of the Pittsburgh American. Shortly after assuming charge of this division I was introduced to Mr. Douglas by New Z. B. Green, an ardent member of the association. The editor gave me a courteous reception, preferred his professional and moral help, and expressed his heartfelt appreciation of Marcus-Garvey for his success as a wonderful organizer. He further demonstrated his liberality by permitting me to submit a weekly article for publication. Through his co-operation Mr. Douglas has assisted us in getting the truth before the public, and since he has been in a large degree instrumental in attracting the best elements here to the wholesome ideals of our association, I think it my duty to tell you of this, our big friend in Pittsburgh. Your weekly contributions to the Negro press are highly edifying. I have sent a number of these as well as those of other editors to the Bellize Independent and the Methodist Record, with which I am closely affiliated in British Honduras, Central America. The work of the association in Pittsburgh is again blossoming. We have just opened Poston's class of Negroology, which we hope to make a big factor in this community. The class is named in honor of the late Sir Robert L. Poston. Its curriculum consists of Negro history, literature, geography and propaganda. Accept best wishes for your health, and keep up the fight for right, justice and truth. Yours very truly. S. A. HAYNES, President Pittsburgh Division No. 61. Pittsburgh, Pa., January 15, 1925. It is the voice of thought that is heard by the eternal. Happiness is the most accommodating of all things. It will come to a cottage as soon as to a palace. You need never wait for any outward pomp to come. As the sunshine of the Almighty will shine through a simple vine as richly as upon the velvet of a king or upon the glided dome of a temple, so happiness falls with equal sweetness upon all whose minds are at peace and in whose hearts flow the good thoughts and good sentiments of life. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 31, 1925 THE PEOPLE'S FORUM To the Editor of the Negro World: Permit me space in your great all-Negro newspaper to bring to light some of the things I have experienced in "Europae's brand-basket," Africa. Is there any wonder that the Elder Dempster Steamship Company is one of the richest steamship companies in the world? This steamship company, with offices at 8 Water street, Liverpool, is under Royal Charter. It has a fleet of about one hundred ships, passenger and cargo, on the West African route. Seventy-five of these are cargo boats, and among the passenger ships are some of the finest two and three funnel-liners afloat. The headquarters on the West Coast are at Sierra Leone, while the shipyard or repairing station is at Lagos, Nigeria. These ships are manned, of course, by a full complement of English officers and engineers, with a crew of English and African men. These men are from all parts of West Africa, but are taken from Sierra Leone only and are signed off at Liverpool, where they remain with their lawful white wives and children until they are wanted for the next ship outward bound. At Liverpool there is a "headman," who is a native of Ligos, Nigeria. He is allowed to wear an officer's uniform and cap, and his duties are to select the men for the different ships and investigate and settle all disputes among his men. He is not allowed to sign on West Indians or American Negroes aboard any of these ships. And his word is "E.D. D." (Elder Dempster) law where the African scammer are concerned. These boys are used for the most as firemen and trimmers and are paid at the rate of from four to six pounds per month, while the whites receive from ten to fifteen pounds. On the arrival of these ships at Tabou, French ivory coast, a steward crew of from sixty to one hundred men, according to the size of the ship and the nature of cargo to be discharged and taken on, is taken on board. To secure a chance, however, it is absolutely necessary for each of these men to work in the, fields for twelve days, without pay, for the government at Tabou (French). In advance, and for another twelve days their return. These men scrub the decks, chip and paint the ship, discharge all cargoes on the way up and load the ship on the way down with raw iron, steel, brass, marble, mahogany, cocon, nuts and palm kernels; and are peld exactly two pounds ten—about twelve dollars normal rate of exchange, per month. It will be seen that these men give the Elder Dempster Company this kind of service for four weeks, and three days and the Tabou government for three weeks and three days for $12. Slavery is abolished! It is to laugh. Those men are fed throughout the voyage with hard biscuits and necrocoffin in the mornings and boiled rice, one-half a pint to the man, with their own palm oil on it, during the rest of the day. I used to give these rations out myself, while acting as second-steward, under a "Wet" chief-steward, in the place of a "Wet" second-steward, who had a broken hand and was taken from a hospital in Brooklyn, from whence I acted. It was the happiest voyage they had, ever made, many of them declared, and they had every reason. The cruelties and barbaric treatment meted out to these poor, inoffensive men by the "greatest men on the face of the earth," supplied me with an idea of what slavery must have been ninety years ago. Captain Cockburn is a well-known figure among the Elder Dumpster people in Lagos, Sierra Leone and at Liverpool; and Marcus Garvey was convicted. The Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company will not find the sea, any calmer, but will have a more united and determined group of Negroes under its rudder, who are prepared to drive it on, and on through calm or storm. J. MILTON BATSON. New York city. The Big Work Before The old year has gone, and left the new year to finish work uncompleted. Among the many problems which were presented to the new year was that of the Negro. The motto of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is "One God, One Alm, One Destiny." The association has a great task to perform, yet, with the Hon. Marcus Garvey as the leader, we are confident that it will be well-taken care of. I hope the eyes of some member of the race will be opened and that they will take a different attitude toward the untiring efforts of our leader. May there be a mutual understanding among ourselves and the other races. CLIFFORD MEDONZE Central Lugareno, Camaguey, Cuba. SLCK? What Alls You? To the Last Change Medioth.

Talent is something, but tact is everything. Talent is serious, sober, grave and respectable. Tact is all that man desires, and more, too. It is not a sixth sense, but it is the life of all the senses, and, more, it is the quick ear, the open eye, the judging taste, the keen smell the lively touch and the courage to do things. It is the interpreter of all riddles, the surmouner of all difficulties, the remover of all obstacles. It is useful in solitude, for it shows a person his way into the world, it is useful in society, for it shows them their way through this world. Talent is power, it is authority. Tact is skill. Talent is weight. Tact is momentum or force. Talent knows what to do. Tact knows how to do it. Talent makes a man respectable. Tact will make him respected. Talent is wealth. Tact is ready money. For, in all the practical purpose of life, tact carries them against talent, ten times to one. Take' them to places of amusement and pit them against each other, and talent will hardly be able to amuse you long enough to make you realize the purpose of your amusement, while tact will keep you in a mood for amusement continuously. Take them before a court of law, and let them defend their cases in legal rivalry. Talent sees its way clearly, but tact is first at the journey's end. Talent has many a compliment from the bench, but tact touches fees from attorneys and clients. Talent speaks learnedly and logically; tact triumphantly. Talent makes the world wonder why it does not move on faster; tact excites wonderment why it moves so fast. The secret is that tact has no weight to carry. It is firm in its steps forward; it drives the nail right. It covers all its time, it takes all hints and by keeping its eyes open it is ready to take advantage of every opportunity that comes its way. Take them into the church 'talent has always something worth while hearing; tact is always sure of abundance of hearers and followers. Talent may obtain a living if given an opportunity so to do. Tact will always be able to make a living. Talent will get a good name from services rendered. Tact will make a great name. Talent convinces a person or causes one to differ from his original opinions. Tact converts a person and causes him to follow you. Talent is an honor to the profession. Tact gains honor from the profession. Tact them to the court, talent feels the weight of its opponents' arguments; tact finds its way through the argument. Talent commends a person or crowd. Tact is obeyed by all; tact is honored with apprehension; but that is blessed with preferment. Place them in the Senate or House of Representatives. Talent has the ear of the House, but that wins the heart and gets the votes. Talent is lit for employment but tax is fitted for it. Tact has a way of slipping into places with a sweet silence and a noiseless movement, as a pillard ball finds its way into the pocket. It seems to know everything, without learning anything. It is the master of any situation without any training. It always adapts itself to, the mastery of a situation, no matter how it is presented. It seems both to see, hear and know at the same time. It has no look of wonder, no deaf ear, no blind eye. It has no air of profundity, but plays with details of things as assiduously as a well-taught hand plays over the keys of a plano-forte. It has all the air of commonplace and all the force and power of genius. Editor of The Negro World: I am anxious to see this race of ours get busy and do something. This is a new year, and we must show our willingness to do. I feel that at this time we cannot sufficiently praise our leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, for his great labor to help us throw off this burden. While we work, he works, and when we sleep he thinks for us. He always sees the dangers that hang over us. If we would but take heed and listen to his voice, how good and pleasant would we ride over the storms of life! I am moved to say that the Hon. Marcus Garvey's speech in Liberty Hall, New York, Sunday night, January 6, 1925, was wonderful. I think such a speech should 'rouse' the very dead. Shall we play deaf to such a speech? If we do, then the Lord have mercy upon us. Every word that fell from his lips is taking place right now in Cuba. Don't you understand that some time ago the planters held a meeting in Camagua to start the crop at 70 cents per 128 pounds, which makes it impossible to earn even $1.50 per day. Then the storekeepers probably had their meeting, too, as they have two prices—one for the natives and one for us as Jamaicanes. Then we can just see what is the world attitude toward the Negro.

Right Thinking Necessary To Accomplish Anything Editor of The Negro Worlds Please allow me space in your valuable columns to express the following: Thought is the great key that unlocks the door to success. It depends on how one directs his thought. Thraldom, that error which has caused the discrimination against our noble race, may or may not be the cause of our thinking. It goes without saying. The Hon. Marcus Garvey, through the Universal Negro Improvement Association, has shown us the way to freedom. This was a seed-thought planted in the heart of Mr. Garvey, which he has worked into action in the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Today we are enjoying the good fruits of an awakened race throughout the entire world, cognizant of life's privileges. Mr. Garvey thought right when he pictured the liberation of a race. The Negro should worship a God in "this" image. Mr. Garvey was right when he thought of industry, commerce, education, politics and all that goes to make up for the betterment of a race. These are thoughts which, when put into action, will break down the walls of prejudice and build for our race the noble mansion of recognition and appreciation. Starting the new year, let us universally focus our thoughts on the things that tend to the betterment of our race, working cooperatively until we attain that for which we are striving. Preparation does not help in a time when reinforced effects are needed. Today on the heights I stand. Where God's will is doing a hollaby; No more do I reach for the gleam Of the jubilees for which men die; For I reach to the heart of God. A pastor of fate am I. Tribute to Nurses, Ministering Angels of Humanity To the Elixir of the Woman's Pipe: Please allow me space to bring to the attention of our people the importance of nurses. Too much honor and appreciation cannot be given to women who engage in this noble pursuit. Their lives are sacrificed for the good of others. They see nothing but pain, suffering and misery, yet they must be cheerful and sympathetic to the sick and dying. Give cheer to the afflicted and hope to the dying. When relatives forsease their own, because of bothsome diseases, the self-sacrifice nurses risk her life to save the life of the sufferer or to die his pain during the last hour and chew his eyes in death. The U.S. Cross Nurses of the Universal Nerva Improvement Association should be forward with renewed energy in their wonderful work for humanity, remembering that they are following in the footsteps of Our Savior, who said, "I come not to be immitated unto, but to imminute." In closing let me note the following beautiful tribute to nurses: "When war shall cease to be, when the mate of eternity shall have swung wide and the dead of all nations shall wait to receive their reward for the good or evil, pleasure or pain caused their fellow beings, the noble soft-sacrificing nurse will then rise in her robes of perpetual white to hear issuing from the long-silenced lips of the dead, songs of undying praise to her who toiled and suffered to lessen the misery and pain of others." MARY JOHNSON, New York City. CONVENTION AND GENERAL FUND OF UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION FOR 1924-BIG GATHERING OF NEGROES FROM ALL PARTS OF WORLD The Gates of the Temple of Janus and What They Stood for in the Life of the Masters of the Ancient World "Aperite mihi portas justitine." With these words Pope Plius gave command to open the "Holy Door," which had been closed for the last twenty-five years, and so initiated on Christmas Eve the "Holy Year." In the Christmastide address which preceded the dramatic ceremony, the Pontifix expressed the hope that this jubilee year would give peace to the minds of men through knowledge of their rights and duties, and then to the wills of men that they might put into practice the necessary means to reach peace. Opening the gates of justice tall the nations of the earth is opening the way to international peace, for it is only through justice and the will to apply it that abiding peace among nations will come. The peace that was announced nineteen centuries ago was not of good-will to men, it was to men of good-will to押 him homine volunteers—to men who had the will to do the good, the right, the just thing. There stands in the sight of the world a structure that is as the closed basilica so for as the United States is concerned. It is the house which nations have erected in the name of justice. Its doors would yield to the words of our President, supported by the College of Scouters, as readily as the shallow wall in the doorway of St. Peter's fell at the soft blow of the golden hammer and the sound of the pontifical Latin which has been repeated at intervals for 600 years before the holy Door. The least we as a nation can do in a year in which many millions will turn their thoughts toward the peace of the world and several millions their feet as pilgrimage toward the Eternal City or the Holy Land on the farther shore of the Mediterranean Ocean is to stand before the 'door' of the World Court and say: 'Aperite mili portus justitiae.' In the days of ancient Rome, the door of the Temple of Janus, who was the patron of all gateways, doorways and entrances generally, the "saint of opening" the god to waven the beginning of the day, the monta and the year was sacred, was closed during peace and open during war, with the result that it was shut "only four times before the Christian era." The reason for keeping this gate open was probably that citizens who were fighting for the State should have free access to the city whether in victory or defeat. The open Holy Door in the new ea suggests accessibility not to warriors' death, but to all those who seek defense and peace through justice. It was open originally only once in a hundred years, then fifty, then thirty-three, but now every twenty-five years in order that every devotee may in an average lifetime have the opportunity to avail of the benediction that it promised to those who enter the couras petitioners. The World Court: "Basilica," were America to seek admissions, once opened, would never be closed against those who seek the settlement of disputes through the agencies of justice. The next step for us as a nation is happily succeeded by the words in the pontifical ceremony: "fresto in domum." The Universal, Negro Improvement Association is now appealing to the members of the organization and members of the race everywhere to do the best to make the convention of 1924 the greatest of all our world conclaves. This year the organization is to discuss at its convention all those vital problems that effect the race and to lay down a solid base for the industrial elevation and development of our people. This year's convention will be far ahead in importance of all the other meetings and will call for a great deal of expenditure on the part of the parent body of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, hence this appeal is made to each and every one to contribute to our general and convention fund. Let every Negro give freely as much as he can afford toward this fund so as to assist the Association to carry out its work. All members should collect and send in to the fund.

BLAZONING CRIME IN NEWSPAPERS—WHAT OF IT Does It Incite to or Deter the Criminal Element? Policy of Negro Press Still Indefinite From the Cleveland Call There is going on among the big dailies a verbal war as to the advisability of giving crime news so much prominence. Both sides of the controversy are bringing up strong arguments in their behalf. Statistics are on the side of pittish exposure and sentimentality on the side of cowardly suppression. The newspaper is no doubt the mirror of the times and those that knowingly fail to give its readers the benefit of their information are lax in using the freedom of the press and exhibit a cowardice that must necessarily hurt their circulations. That is the position today of the white press. There are those who will ask: what of the colored press along the line of crime? There is more crime published in all papers, because there is more crime committed these days, but the colored press almost as a whole find it the Next expedient to ease up on crime news of the group, in order to offstand the insistent propaganda being carried on by the white press along this line. Crimes committed by another race do not receive the same designation as those committed by colored people. Seldom do we read outside of our own race journals creditable news of race men and women and seldom is there a crime committed by one of our group that it does not get front-paged in white papers. In fact, there are white dailies by thousands that seem pledged to publish only news detrimental to us, so much so, that ginless white readers interest themselves to the extent of reading our journals, their general view of us must be blazed, because the subtle propaganda of the white press works while we're asleep. Certain of our own papers have waxed fat by digging through the canebrakes and marshes, the tenements of the cities and the gallows of ships at sea to feed their readers on the slime and flith of their own kind, but the great majority of Negro editors vision loftier ideals, and though their circulations remain small, their love of race, pride in their aspirations and accomplishments are the fundamentals most beneficial to a race just emerging from darkness. It is up to the race columnist to tell of the sunny side; the other follow unceasingly watches the shadows. OBITUARY Mr. Leonard Corbin and family take this means of extending their thanks and high appreciation to Col Wattley, Commander of the Royal Guards, to which regiment their brothers Lieut. A. Corbin, was a merchant officer, and First New York Legion's Black Cross Nurses, the choicest and last but not least, Liberty Hall Band, for their splendid support and consideration paid their brother, who died January 13. Funeral services were held at Liberty Hall, New York Jan. 22. The family will be missed. You are grateful but not to be forgotten. THE NEGRO WORLD 56 WEST NEW YORK, N. Y., E.

Le meurtre silencieux par voie d'elimination Le dimanche 4 Janvier 1925, à Liberty Hall, son Excellence Mr Marcus Garvey parla comme suit : "Mon entretien de ce soir roulera sur le danger de dispartion qui n'mace la race par le procédé d'elimination social, cette forme subtle de meurtre. La vie est une lutte sans fin. Nous nous disputons éternellement les places et les situations abordables, soit comme particuliers, groupes, races ou nations. Cette lutte est exceptionnellement intense en cette civilisation du vingtième siècle. Les particuliers et les peuples qui sont trop faibles pour se maintenir, se voient graduuellement eliminés pour faire place à d'autres. La grande batnille de la vie se livre tout autour de nous; elle se poursuit jusqu'à sur le seul de nos portes. Elle ne se manifeste pas par les revérations du cuivre l'inclinement de l'acier et le bruit des canons, mais elle n'en est pas persistant et réelle, pour être silencieuse et nous mourons tous les jours par suite de ses effets. Lorsqu'on pense que, spirituellement, nous sommes tous des créatures humaines vuees à une commune destinée, n'est-il pas triste de voir qu'il existe dans ce moindre tant de duréte de sentiment que les fort-et les puissants n'hésitent pas à infliger aux faibles et aux in fortunés les maux qui entrainent cette mort silencieuse dont nous avons parlé ? Combier d'entre nous qui sommes présents ce soir, combien de noirs de par le monde se rendent compte que ce meurtrier silencieux rode autour de nous voulant dévorer tout ce qui trouve sur son passage? Par malheur, nous comme groupement, n'en avons pas conscience. Cependant, c'est parceque nous avons que le fait existe que nous autres-leaders nous efforcons d'indiquer au peuple la voie à suivre.

L'intention de Gandhi, comme ceui de tout leaders de peule opprimé, est d'indiquer au peule la voie qui mène à la sécurité, à la vie, à l'existence vraie. Mais commes ses intentions sont en conflits avec les projets des exploiteurs, Gandhi est flagellé sur les places publiques, il est emprisonné, il est soumis à toutes sortes de persécutions. Quels sont les instigateurs de ces choses, quels sont ceux qui révent d'exterminer les Hindus? C'est le peule anglais. Il veut se preparer à l'avance un champ où déverser eventuellement le surplus de sa population. Une destruction pareille s'est perpétrée ici même il y a quelques containes d'années. Je peux vous dire que ces intentions de meurtre silencieux tous les peuples forts de la terre la nourris sent. A vous seuls, vous n'est pas capables de pénétrer les mobiles de: personnes que vous rencontrer dans cette grande ville. Pénétrer les intentions secrétes des personnes qui vous entourent découle d'une étude approfondie de la nature humaine qu'il n'est pas donné à tous de réaliser. Lorsqu'il est donné à un particulier de faire cette découverte, il se présente devant le peuple pour lui communiquer les choses qui intéressent son sort et pour lui indiquer la voie à suivre pour se tirer de l'impasse: c'est cette faculté de vision qui constitue ou qui crée les leaders. Maintenant, laissez-moi dire aux noirs d'Amérique et à ceux de l'Ocident que le plus grand péril qui nous confronte aujourd'hui est le procédé de meurtre silencieux qui se poursuit. Dans l'Inde la forme que revêt ce genre de meurtre est bien connue. Maintenir les Hindous dans la paureté et l'abjection, les parquer ensemble, ensemble parmi eux des gernes de maladies qui les fera mourir par miliers et par centaines de miliers. Ultimement on en sera deharrasse. En Ariqué, le procédé varie. Il y a la maladie su sommets, il y a l'entusement dans les districts malaise, et il y a les travaux forcés; des trauxaux à déruter dans des conditions qui outcune erupture, ne seoulir sur pendent un curtain hype de temps un périr. Touses ces choses constituent les THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 31, 1925 diverses formes de l'homicide permi- cieux et subtil, qui se pratique en pratique en Afrique, dans l'Inde et dans d'autres parties du monde ou les peuples ne sont pas assez inti- gents pour voir clair dans le jeu de leurs adversaires sinon le leaders qui ont surgi tels que Zaghlul Pasha en Egypte et Mahatma Gandhi dans les Indes. Mais dans ces milieux les forces-actives du meurtre silencieux les poursuivent, les accablent les designent à la raillerier de ceux-la mémes que ces leaders cherchent à éclairer et à sauver, afin que, per- dant la vision des choses qui on lui devoile, le peuple puisse demeurer don son ignorance et dans sa résignation apathiques. Dans la communauté ou nous vivons, les procédés du meurtre silencieux_different de ceux qui ont cours aux Indes, en Afrique et en Egypt. Comme je vous le leisà dernièrement à Liberty Hall il y a bien des choses que je vous voudrais vous dire mais que je suis force de taire. Vous parler à coeur ouvert serait bloquer mes plans et vous susciter des ennuis. Je suis force de me taire parceque je n'ai pas en mains les moyens matériels et économiques de subir les conséquences de mon dire en ce qui concerne la situation ou vous seriez places par mon fait. Mâig c'est je puis vous assurer c'est que si vous ne déployez pas l'énergie et l'effort nécessaires vous allez et vous heurter un jour à un peril plus grand que vous n'avez encore confronté. Nous passons en ce moment par une période de meurtre silencieux par elimination sur tous les points du globe; et plus nous différents le moment de nous solidariser, plus rapidement consommée notre perte sera-t-elle par nos adversaries. Vous entendre de que jamais le noir n'aura jouit de, tant d'avantages que aujourd'hui; moi je dis que jamais le noir ne se sera trouvé dans une situation économique aussi précaire qu'en ce moment. Savez-vous pourquoi? Parcequ'il a été acculé à la necessité de maintenir, sous père d'être traité de geux et de fainant, une facade social plus coûteuse qu'on n'exige des autres groupements exotiques, tout en le condamnant à des salaires d'irroires soi maain-doeuvre. Parcourez les grandes villes, vous verrez que les noirs y付ient des impots 51% plus eleves que ceux des autres habitants. Prenez un dollar et sortez dans Harlem (la section-negre) vous approvisionner; puis rendez-vous au-delà de la 116e rue acheter des provisions pour un dollar et constate la différence. Pourquoi cette taxation exorbitante et ces prix clevés lorsqu'il sagit du jour? parceque lorsqu'un homme n'est pas en mesure de se nourrir, se vetir, de se loger convenablement, sa santé s'affaiblit, son organisme se déteriore, il devient malade, il meurt. Récennent un marechal de ville nie disait que dans l'espace de vingt jours il avait eu à évincer 400 familles noires percequ'elles étaient incapables de payer leurs lovers. Qu'est-ce que tout cela signifie? Pourquoi les impositions sont elles plus lordes et les salaires plus infimes de qu'il s'agit du noir? Cela signifie-t-il que ce monde-la nous vous des sentiments d'amitié? Non; on n'impose pas des faix à qui l'on aime. Cela signifie qu'on n'a pas de sympathie pour le noir; vous ne vous en appezevez parceque vous ne savez pas réfléchir, ni vous intéresser au sort de votre voisin. Au contraire, lorsque vous remarquez qu'on jette une famille sur le pavevous riez. Il est à remarquer que nous sommes la seule race au monde qui trouve dans le malheure de ses frères un sujet d'hilarité. - Laissez-moi vous dire, mes amis que si nous continuons dans ces habitudes d'indifférence, de nonchalance et de mépris de nous némies nous finirons par succumber entre les mains habiles de l'autre. - Si nous devons surmonter les périls economiques et autres qui nous guettent, il nous faut nous organiser comme les Juifs, les Irlandais, et le groupe germano-américain. Autrement, ce ne sera qu'un question de temps pour que s'effectue notre disparition complète. Les nécessités de la vie nous sont vendues intentionnellement à un prix plus élevés qu'aux autres; et nos gages sont proportionnellement réduits pour les mémes raisons. C'est-à-dire qu'on veut nous mettre dans une situation économique qui entrainera automatiquement notre extinction. Et c'est parceque je me fais le devoir de vous dessiller les yeux que je suis qualifié de "mauvais négré". C'est aussi ce qui m'empêche de vous parle avec l'abandon que je voudrais par crainte de paralyser le développement des entre prises que je tente pour votre protection et pour votre bonheur. En terminant, je vous recommande à toi de surveiller vos pas durant cette nouvelle année. L'homme qui vous尝jeille, avec un sourire n'est pas le sincère ami que vous croyez. Esperficientement il en a laair; mais au fond vous le découvrez, partisan du programme universalet qui complote, contre le noir, "le meurtre silencieux par voie d'illumination." Le consul Japonais declare que l'emigration n'est pas une issue vitale A la réunion annuelle de l'Association des Exportateurs et Importateurs Amerieains, Hirosi Saito, Consul-Général du Japon aurait déclaré que bien que la loi d'exclusion ait été froissant pour l'amour-propere national, le Japon ne considère pas qu'il y ait lieu d'en faire.une issue. “Les vrais sentiments de la classe responsable et pensante du Japon, a-t-il ajouté, furent parfaitement interprétés par cette phrase “Nous savong, que les Etats-Unis désirent la paix” qui fut employé par le Vicomte Katô dans la note de remerciments qu'il adresse au Président Coolidge et le Secrétaire d'Etat Hughes pour les errecier d'avoir “dénoncer les efforts de propagandistes navals en vue de brouiller le Japon et les Etats-Unis”. "Les honnies d'Etat japonais, a-t-il continue, pour allérer la densité de la population locale qui s'accroît à raison de 600,000 par an, trouveraient le salut ultime de la nation dans le développement de son industrie et nullement dans l'émigration. Le Japon a des raisons vitales de souhaiter le maintien de bonnes relation avec IIs Etats-Uis." Ces raisons sont d'ordre commercial et économique. L'Amerique importe 80 pour cent de la soie produite par le Japon ce qui constitue 44 pour cent de l'exportation totale du Japon. Reciproquement le Japon achète aux États-Unis $65,000-000 de coton brut par an, ce qui fournit à la branche la plus active du pays, son industrie textile, 38 pour cent des matériaux qui lui sont necessaires. Sans compter une valeur de $135,000,000 en matériels et autres produits. Les maures interdisent l'acces de leur territoire aux Franco-Belges Citroën, le grand manufacturier d'automobiles français, avait projeté l'ouverture d'une route voiture à travers le désert africain. En conséquence, un modèle special d'auto fut construit et des hôtels aménagés sur tout le parcours. Le roi des Belges et le Général Pétain étaient les parrains désignés pour imagurer cette route. Otra vez el maquiavelismo trato de poner en juego todos sus recursos, con el objeto de obstaculizar la salida del Booker T. Washington. Elementos de nuestra propia raza hicieron uso de toda su influencia para establecer una denuncia ante la corte pocos minutos antes del mediodia del sabado, dia, anterior de la fecha designada para el viaje, de manera que, dado el caso de ser dicha denuncia aceptada, no nos restara suficiente tiempo para prestar la fianza debida y nos hubieramos visto obligados a posponerlo por segunda vez. Afortunadamente la corte no dio curso al mandamus dado lo infundado de su contenido. Ello es una prueba de la manera errónea de actuar para con nosotros mismos; mientras la gran mayoría contribuía al éxito de nuestra gran empresa, los iscariotes intentaban ejecutar sus planes de destrucción. Tales son los actos malévolos que las razas que se levantan han de experimentar, al ascender en la escala del progreso humano. Mais voilà que les Maunes en ont décidé autrement. Baionnettes aux canoins, gaz asphyxiants, aéroplanes et tutti quanti braques sur la frontière, ils ont dit aux envahisseurs: "On ne passera pas". Et les envahisseurs n'ont pas insisté. L'occupation americaine ne sera pas supprimée en Haiti Dans le New York Journal du 15 Janvier 1925, nous lisons que le Département d'Elatat aurait déclaré que bien que les cent-marines qui sont actuellement à Nicaragua vont être bientôt rappelés il n'en sera pas de même pour Haiti, le Département estimant qu'au point de vue du nom- bre, il n'y en a que juste ce qu'il faut pour y maintainir l'ordre. Le Dé- partement a aussi fait observer que ces forces ne sont pas concentrées en un seul point, mais sont reparties sur trois bases. El Booker T. Washington tocará en las ciudades de Filadelfia y Norfolk tomando pasaje, carga y carbón, desde donde partirá con rumbo a las Antillas y Centro America, llevando alli un gran número de ciudadanos de este país, quienes se pondrán en directo contacto con otros miembros de su misma raza. Estamos en la plena confianza de que esta experiencia de parte de los visitantes y de los visitados, ha de reportar como consecuencia directa en un mejor entendimiento entre estas dos secciones de la raza, del cual ha de dimanar el desarrollo comercial e industrial a que todos aspiramos. Creemos oportuno en estos momentos de satisfacción, refrescar nuestra memoria con el recuerdo de la primiera tentativa de instalar una línea de vapores; esta inspiración histórica abrió el camino hacia el reconocimiento del negro cómo un factor en la realización de toda posibilidad humana, habiendo sido patrocinada financialmente por gran parte de nuestro elemento en las Antillas y en Centro America. El esfuerzo supremo de esos pueblos infundió en nuestro elemento en general el espiritu de determinación, el cual vemos hoy dia convertido en una realización practica—la adquisición del primer vapor de la nueva corporación naviera la Cruz Negra.

Existe un amplio campo comercial en las Antillas, en Centro America, en Africa y en los Estados Unidos, para acomodar y encarrier esta nueva empresa naviera. Aunque estamos ya en posición absoluta del primer vapor, nuestra labor está aún en embrión; redoblemos nuestras energias y aportemos moral y materialmente con nuestros recursos, e indigablemente veremos culminados con el éxito nuestros grandes esfuerzos.

Spanish Section Una vieja controversia de nuevo sobre el tapete El tratado en que se reconoce, el derecho de la república de Cuba sobre la Isla de Pinos, va a puerso de nuevo sobre el tapete en el senado; y los contendientes en esta controversia seran el senador Borah, presidente del comité de relaciones exteriores del senado quien aboga porque el tratado sea rechazado, y el secretario de effado Hughes quien apuva su reconocimiento. Primer viaje del Booker T. Washington—Un dia de verdadero jubilo—Gran concurrencia asiste a las ceremonias de inauguración—La influencia enemiga intenta obstaculizar la salida del buque—En ruta hacia las Antillas y Centro America—Elemento que ha cooperado a esta grande realización—Sigamos su ejemplo de unificación No se cree que en la lucha habrá asperzas, pero en todo caso servirá para determinar la fuerza de los dos contendientes. El secretario Hughes cree como muchos otros secretarios de estado, que las oíls de Pinos es territorio cubano y que por tanto los Estados Unidos deben renunciar a toda aspiración sobre ella. Boral, amique no se cree que esté dispuesto a sustener que la laí pertenece incondicionalmente a los Estados Unidos, tratará de que se dé una protección especial a las intereses norteamericanos radicados en la laí. Una vez más se ha visto y encido el imposible. Aquellos que dudaban de su propia ability y de la ability de la raza, realizan hoy dia el que por medio de un esfuerzo unido, cualquier grupo de un pueblo puede obtener todo canto sea humanamente posible. Según habiase anunciado, el domingo 18 fue un dia de verdadero jubilo para nuestra raza. El Booker T. Washington, primer vapor de nuestra corporación naviea la Cruz Negra, galantemente decorado desde las primeras horas de la mañana de dicho dia, se preparaba para su primer bajo los auspicios de nuestra organización. El tratado que va a discutirse se firmó desde hace veinte años entre los Estados Unidos y Cuba y sobre el ha presentado cuatro informes favorables los sucesivos comités de relaciones exteriores, pero el senado los ha devuelto a los mismos comités. No hace mucho tiempo que los norteamericanos residentes en la laia enviaron un memorial a Washington alegando que ellos se situaron alli porque creyeron que la laia era de los Estados Unidos y que por tanto debía colocarse bajo el pabellón norteamericano. Entre otras cosas alegaron que la mayoría de los habitantes eran norteamericanos. Entrado el mediodía veianse ya en los alrededores del muelle número>75 de esta ciudad, los primeros visitantes esperando la hora para inspeccionar el magnifico vapor ante su vista, el cual tiene un grande significativo en nuestro futuro. A las tres de dicha tarde, hora señalada para la recepción, pudimos calcular más de dos mil personas frente al buque, con varios centenares a su bordo. El honorable Marcus Garvey, presidente general de la organización, inició el acto, encomendando en su discurso la labor cooperativa de todos aquellos interesados en la nueva empresa. Borah aspira a que se pache un nuevo tratado entre los dos países. Los norteamericanos residentes en la isla manificient aldenas que desde 1900, cuando el gobierno cubano reduciría su soberanía, la población norteamericana ha disminuido, de quince mil residentes que eran a secrecientes al presente. Agregan que más del noventa por ciento del territorio insular pertenecce a cidadanos norteamericanos y que cesó se situaron alli en concepto de que la isla no era territorio cubano. Hicieron uso de la palabra varios miembros de la organización y de la raza, terminando el acto poco después de las cinco, habiendo sido este amenizado por la banda de la división de esta ciudad. A la secs y veinte minutos elevaba sus anclas el majestuoso buque de la raza, llevando a su bordo un gran número de pasajeros en viaje de excursión y recreo, y en medio de la mayor alegría manifestada por los centenares de visitantes alli reunidos. La inauguración de esta nueva linea de la raza es un gran paso de avance hacia nuestro progreso industrial y comercial. Reconocido agradecimiento debemos a la oficialidad de este puerto, por los actos de deferencia de que fuimos objeto durante la recepción y la partida del buque. Desde que se supone que el tratamiento ila a discutirse en el senado, estos reclamantes se han estado valiendo de todas las influencias posibles para lograr la anexión de la ila. El gobierno culano, por su parte, ha venido sosteniendo sus derechos a dicha ila, heredados de España como consecuencia de la independencia. Abogando por en derecho Humano Diante el debate en el senado en contra de la política de este pasi- hacia las republicas insulares del sur, el senador por el estado de Uruguay pidió la retiración definitiva de los marinos norteamericanos de la ra república de Haiti, declarando que los Estados Unidos estaban destruyendo el gobierno establecido por los haitianos, para establecer un regimen de feción. Luego de haber sido recibida la enmienda propuesta en que se probíla el uso de fondos para mantener marinos en Haiti, el señor manifesto que continuando la ocupación, el gobierno de este país perdía la oportunidad para hacer una demostración de amistad hacia otras naciones americanos del continente, insistiendo en que los lástados Unidos no tienen derecho de permanecer ali ni de imponer digitura dura sobre aquel pueblo. El Sr. L. Gabaldon, comisióndo residente filipino, reafirmó en la caimara las aspiraciones de su pujbulo la independencia, manifestando adenis que la campaña se intensificaria como resultado de los ataques que se le hicieran, hasados en ignorancia sobre la situación de las las. Hízo clogios de la labor de este país en el archipielago, calificándola le sin igual en los anales de la colonización del mundo, asegurándo que la raza filipina se había llegado an un estado tal que se le podía comparar favorablemente en honestidad, moralidad, eficiencia y patriotismo con cualquier otra raza progresista. Ratificación de tratada El senado de este país ha rectificado dos tratados entre el gobierno de Washington y el de la Republica Dominicana; los cuales proven la evacuación total immediata de las tropas norteamericanas dequel país y los medios de recundar el prestito y de cincuenta millones 8 dicha república, nombrando un receptor general de las entradas así sus aduanas. STRENGTH IN OWNERSHIP OF SHIP AND MUCH PRIDE What a Florida Poor White Trash Thinks of Negroes Owning and Operating Steamships To the Editor of The Negro World: Is it not marvelous to see Mr. Garvey again in the shipping world for the benefit of Negroes universally? Has any other Negro exhibited such tenacity courage and ability to organize two steamship companies in ten years against terrible odds? No, not one. It would appear as if this man does not care about obstacles, but intends to force ahead until objectives are reached. Let us, therefore, congratulate Mr. Garvey and wish him success. Those of us who have petty differences that are frozen in the ice box, please put them on the fire to thaw out, then give this movement moral support if nothing else.

Queens Mail Order House O. JAMAICA, N. Y. partners gained will be worth millions to the Black Cross Trading Company and Negroes at large. Think of what will become of Jim Crowism within twenty-five years with the Negroes of the commercial world to stay. Think of our colored women who will be able to ride without being molested by other races upon Negro-controlled ships. Think of the respect colored women will have and demand when Negroes are in accord with the laws of supply and demand. If the pastor of Negro churches throughout this land could only see in the future Mr. Garvey would not only get moral support from all Negroes, but supporting of a fleet of ships instead of building edifices that will be made warehouses by the whites, when the mortgages are in arrears. A conductor on one of the Florida trains asked me the following questions, to which I replied. Q. Where are you gwine wid-all dem papers and typewriters, young man? A. I am going to Havanna. Q.

Well, boy, I am sorry we Jim Crow, you. This was a matter of demand, and the filibiterate cracker saw the danger whites will be placed in if there is a demand to ride on Negro-owned ships. Mr. Garvey is teaching us the laws of supply and demand. A law that will compel the respect of the world toward Negroes; and when members of other races are brought face to face with a demand to be supplied by Negroes only, like a representative of the Bank of Nova Scotia who could not find other means to get to Kingston from Havana but on the Yarmouth, then, and only then, will it be time to show our hands, not before.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 31, 1925 ments Begun WASHINGTON, D. C.—It is natural for men to aspire to vote and be voted for, to desire official patronage and to be in a position to dispense political patronage. Our group has been frozen out of most of the Presidential appointments during the past three administrations, if not four, and there is a general feeling that, it should make a concerted effort to recover the lost ground, more for the race prestige than for the money values involved, hence some of our best and strongest men are striving to secure a fair share of representation in Presidential appointments from the Coolidge administration, and it is hoped they may succeed. Aaron E. Malone, president of Poro College at St. Louis, one of the outstanding, business and political influences of the race, has been in the city during the past week and has had important conferences with Senator Spencer, T. M. Clark, private secretary to the President; Congressman L. C. Dyer, and other Missouri Congressmen. Mr. Malone is an applicant for the position of Register of the Treasury. His name was mentioned in connection with this position during the administration of President Harding, which position has in other, administrations been held by distinguished men, of our group. A straw vote taken by the St. Louis, "Argus" in 1920 showed that Malone was the choice for the position of the National Negro Press Association. I dare say a like poll now would show a like preference. Why? Because Malone has a clear record of race service in business and politics, and would be a credit to the race as Register as well as a distinct asset to the Republican party. Jugt take a little peep into the record of service Malone has made. He was a delegate to/the convention in Cleveland in June, representing the 11th Congressional District of Missouri, which includes St. Louis, with Robert T. Scott, who represented the 12th district. Scott was an original Dawes man for Vice-President to the extent that he voted for Dawes on every ballot. Scott was also the first colored man to be elected ward committeeman of St. Louis. The Missouri delegation unanimously elected Malone as their representative on the Coolidge notification committee; he also attended and was the only representative of our race group at the notification luncheon given by President Coolidge at the White House during the notification ceremonies.

For the past four years he has been a member of the Missouri State Executive Committee. Mr. and Mrs. Malone are the largest philanthropists of our group, among their latest donations are gifts of $25,000 to the Y. M. C. A. and $10,000 to the Howard University Medical School. Malone is well qualified for the position of Register of the Treasury because of his financial standing and his contact, with moneyed interests, having paid $8,000 income tax during the past year. He is of genial disposition, always giving the appearance of having just emerged from the latest haberdashery, and is easily approached. Yes, there are others, but Aaron E. Malone, of Missouri, well deserves to receive the appointment to the Register of the Federal Treasury, and has the full endorsement of Senator Spencer, the Missouri Congressman, and the press. Yet a Million Slaves In the World, 'Tis Said (From the London Daily News) At A. C. O. P. E. C. Conference of the West London branch at Kensington Chapel on Saturday during a discussion on education Mr. Basil Yeazle asked what solution of strife could there be except on a basis of mutual understanding, and declared that adult education was in many respects the key to the position. The weakness of the church, he said, was not in the sphere of prophecy or of social life, but in the sphere of teaching. In a discussion on war, the Rev. Dr. Garvie said that the question of aggressive, war could not be dissociated from industrial and other international questions. He could not commit himself to the pacifist position, however much his inclination would lead him to it, for he believed there might be a moral disaster introduced into the world that in many ways would be worse than a war to arrest the aggression of such a moral disaster. Mr. John Harris said there were three dominating issues at that moment that deeply concerned Great Britain—the diminishing supply of raw cotton, inter-racial relationships between backward races and governing races, and slave-holding and slave-trading. There were at least one million slaves in the world, he asserted, and the League of Nations was endeavoring to abolish slavery. Home Demonstration Work In the Southern Stafes From the Southern Workman There is perhaps no more striking evidence of the truth that, in general, farm ownership and better farming methods are stepping stones to self-respect, which is the foundation of sound moral and social development than the fact that whereas there are today 136 men farm-demonstration agents in the Southern States there are also today 107 women home-demonstration agents in these same States. Moreover the story of the work of many of these women among the mothers and girls of the community' the diverse forms which it has taken, the ingenuity with which better homemaking methods have been introduced and carried out, parallels in interest and often rivals in importance that of the work done by the men agents. Furthermore there are many cases in which Hampton-Tuskegee women, not only as county agents but as teachers, have achieved remarkable results in farm as well as in home-demonstration work. Montgomery County, Alabama, is an illustration of this; for although that county now has its man farm-demonstration agent; the foundation of better farming in Montgomery County was laid by a woman school teacher, Miss Georgia Washington, '82, and the most notable work in the county today is that of its woman home-demonstration agent, Mrs. Laura Randolph Daly, Hampton, '06.

Equity Congress met in regular session on Sunday afternoon, January 25, with almost the entire membership present. Speaker Bailey called the meeting to order, and after the routine business had been disposed of the Speaker announced that the subject of the day would be the matter of devising ways and means to best bring about the reintroduction of the colored officers who have been dropped from the rolls of the 15th Infantry, and, in fact, how best to accomplish the appointment of an entire personnel of officers to this regiment from Colonel down, all to be members of the race. The meeting was addressed by several of the leading business, and professional men of Harlem, all of whom were heartily in accord with the movement now on foot. It was the universal opinion that we are now asking for only that to which the race is entitled, and should indeed already have received. After these stirring speeches, all of which were received most enthusiastically, a resolution was adopted to the effect that direct petition shall be made to the Governor of the State, and calling upon the Speaker to invite all racial associations churches and civic and social organizations to join in this effort, to the end that our cause may be presented in the strongest possible manner. The Congress is waging its usual vigorous battle in the present effort, and, therefore, success is inevitable. Further addresses will be made on the subject next Sunday, and the Speaker will at that time report on the results of his efforts. The public is cordially invited to attend, and take part in the meeting, and help in this most laudable work for the welfare of the race in general. The meeting will be held promptly at 5 o'clock p.m. in the forum of the Congress, Elles Hall, 162 West 129th street, second floor front. Admission absolutely free. It is hoped that all who can will arrange to be present and lend their efforts by means of their personal presence if not otherwise. In this light we are now making for the representation to which we are entitled in the only organization of the New York Guard composed of colored men. ```markdown ``` A LUCKY MYSTICRING Made $2,000 In Six Months "Made $2,000 in six months after I put on the EGYPTIAN LUCKY MYSTIC RING," writes Mr. E.

An elephant ignored the orchestra ensemble, shiled at the bass viol, trumpeted at the roll of a drum, but appeared immensely pleased with the trombone. The mountain lions were not much interested.
