MARCUS GARVEY'S MESSAGE TO THE NEGROES OF THE WORLD AS HE PAYS THE PRICE OF LEADERSHIP
FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting:
I am delighted to inform you that your humble servant is as happy in suffering for you and our cause as it is possible under the circumstances of being viciously outraged by a group of plotters who have connived to do their worst to humiliate you through me in the fight for real emancipation and African redemption.
Lying Propaganda
I do trust that you have given no credence to the vicious lies of white and enemy Negro newspapers and those who have spoken in reference to my surrender. The liars plotted in every way to make it appear that I was not willing to surrender to the court. My attorney told and advised me that no mandate would have been handed down for ten or fourteen days, as is the custom of the courts, and that would have given me time to keep engagements I had
to speak in Detroit, Cincinnati and Cleveland. I hadn't left the city for ten hours when the unusual thing was done of returning the mandate, and then the liars flashed the news that I was a fugitive. That was good news to circulate all over the world to demoralize the millions of Negroes in America, Africa, Asia, the West Indies and Central America, but the idiots ought to know by now that they can't fool all the Negroes at the same time.
I do not want at this time to write anything that would make it difficult for you to meet the opposition of the enemy without my assistance. Suffice it to say that the history of the outrage shall form a splendid chapter in the history of Africa redeemed when black men will no longer be under the heels of others, but have a civilization and country of their own.
The whole affair is a disgrace, and the whole black world knows it. We shall not forget. Our day may be fifty, a hundred or two hundred years ahead, but let us watch, work and pray, for the civilization of injustice is bound to crumble and bring destruction down upon the heads of the unjust.
Seed of Black Nationalism Well Planted
The idiots thought that they could humiliate me personally, but in that they are mistaken. The minutes of suffering are counted, and when God and Africa come back and measure out retribution these minutes may multiply by thousands for the sinners. Our Arab and Riffian friends will be ever vigilant, as the rest of Africa and ourselves shall be. Be assured that I planted well the seed of Negro or black nationalism which cannot be destroyed even by the foul play that has been meted out to me.
WORLD'S GREATEST LEADER GOES TO PRISON CONFIDENT IN THE OUTCOME OF THE CAUSE HE CHAMPIONS

have in the world. I have so much to do in the few minutes at my disposal that I cannot write exhaustively on this or any other matter, but be warned against these two enemies. Don't allow them to fool you with fine sounding press releases, speeches and books; they are the vipers who have planned with others the extinction of the black race.
My work is just begun, and when the history of my suffering is complete, then future generations of Negroes will have in their hands the guide by which they shall know the "sins" of the twentieth century. I, and I know you, too, believe in time, and we shall wait patiently for two hundred years, if need be, to face our enemies through our generations.
Support Those at the Helm
You will cheer me much if you will now do even more for the organization than when I was among you. Hold up the hands of those who are carrying on. Help them to make good, so that the work may continue to spread from pole to pole.
I am also making a last minute appeal for support to the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. Please send in and make your loans so as to enable the directors to successfully carry on the work.
"The Bravest Little Woman"
All I have I have given to you. I have sacrificed my home and my loving wife for you. I entrust her to your charge, to protect and defend her in my absence. She is the bravest little woman I know. She has suffered and sacrificed with me for you; therefore, please do not desert her at this dismal hour, when she stands alone. I have left her penniless and helpless to face the world, because I gave you all, but her courage is great and I know she will hold up for you and me.
After my enemies are satisfied in life or death I shall come back to you to serve even as I have served before. In
life I shall be the same; in death I shall be a torror to the foes of Negro liberty. If death has power, then count on me in death to be the real Marcus Garvey I would like to be. If I may come in an earthquake, or a cyclone, or plague, or pestilence, or as God would have me, then be assured that I shall never desert you and make your enemies triumph over you. Would I not go to hell a million times for you? Would I not, like Macbeth's ghost, walk the earth forever for you? Would I not lose the whole world and eternity for you? Would I not cry forever before the footstool of the Lord Omnipotent for you? Would I not die a million deaths for you? Then, why be sad? Cheer up, and be assured that if it takes a million years the sins of our enemies shall visit the millionth generation of those that hinder and oppress us.
Will Serve to the End
Remember that I have sworn by you and my God to serve to the end of all time, the wreck of matter and the crash of worlds. The enemies think that I am defeated. Did the Germans defeat the French in 1870? Did Napo len really conquer Europe? If so, then I am defeated, but I tell you the world shall hear from my principles even two thousand years hence. I am willing to wait on time for my satisfaction and the retribution of my enemies. Observe my enemies and their children and posterity, and one day you shall see retribution settling around them.
"If I Die in Atlanta"
If I die in Atlanta my work shall then only begin, but I shall live in the physical or spiritual to see the day of Africa's glory. When I am dead wrap the mantle of the Red, Black and Green around me, for in the new life I shall rise with God's grace and blessing to lead the millions up the heights of triumph with the colors that you well know. Look for me in the whirlwind or the storm, look for me all around you, for, with God's grace, I shall come and bring with me the countless millions of black slaves who have died in America and the West Indies and the millions in Africa to aid you in the fight for liberty, freedom and life.
20th Century Civilization Drunk With Power
The civilization of today is gone drunk and crazy with its power and by such it seeks through injustice, fraud and lies to crush the unfortunate. But if I am apparently crushed by the system of influence and misdirected power, my cause shall rise again to plague the conscience of the corrupt. For this I am satisfied, and for you, I repeat, I am glad to suffer and even die. Again, I say, cheer up, for better days are ahead. I shall write the history that will inspire the millions that are coming and leave the posterity of our enemies to reckon with the hosts for the deeds of their fathers.
With God's dearest blessings, I leave you for a while. With very best wishes, your humble and obedient
CALM AND CONFIDENT IN HOUR OF TRIAL
NEW YORK LAWYERS DENOUNCE PERSECUTION OF GREAT LEADER IN STATEMENT TO THE PRESS
Expose the Scheming and Plotting to Bring About Mr. Garvey's Wonderful "Capture"
NEW YORK DAILY CHARGES "HIRELING JOURNALISTS" WITH DOING THE DIRTY WORK OF BRITAIN AND FRANCE
Says Garvey's Ideal Must Materialize and Africa Will Be Free
As soon as it became known that Mr. Garvey's conviction was affirmed, some of the big New York dailies launched a characteristic flood of propaganda in an effort to break the morale of the vast membership of the U. N. I. A. by ridicule and deception. In this connection the following statement prepared for the press by Mr. Garvey's New York lawyers and an editorial which appeared in the New York Evening Bulletin on February 7, 1925, are illuminating:
February 6, 1926—Mr. Armin Kohn, of the law firm of Kohn & Nagler, the attorneys for Marcus Garvey, convicted Negro leader, issued the following statement today:
In my twenty-three years of practice at the New York Bar, I have never handled a case in which the defendant has been treated with such manifest unfairness, and with such a palpable attempt at persecution as this one.
Garvey was convicted of using the skills to defraud and was sentenced to imprisonment in Atlanta for five years.
The closely printed record of the trial of the case, till four volumes, of approximately 2,000 pages.
The argument of the appeal was had before the Circuit Court of Appeals on January 19 and about two weeks thereafter, despite the enormous record the judgment was affirmed. Garvey in the meantime proceeded to Detroit, and we, as his counsel, immediately upon hearing of the decision, telephoned the Assistant, United States Prosecutor, and told him that Mr. Garvey had left for Detroit, but that we would telegraph him immediately
'LOST VIGOR RESTORED IN 24 HOURS'
"Glands Awakened in One Day" is the Amazing Statement of a Seventy-six-Year-Old Veteran.
Lost vigor, deadened glands and nerves, and that weak, worn-out, depressed and half-alive feeling need not be overcome by the severity of a well-known chemist. Now it is possible for those who feel "prematurely old" to become "rejuvenated" and be much healthier often in a 'daily' time, with Mando Formula, is the amazing statement of one who has taken the treatment. This famous discovery is bringing "renewed awareness" where everything else had failed.
"I want to say that my 'last vigor' was restored and 'glants redened' in twenty-four hours," says D. B. Peake. "I don't feel a day over 40. Before I started taking the treatment I felt I was an old, 'worl-out' man; but now I am enjoying a remarkable 'glant restoration' and am convinced my rejuvenation God's blessing rest on the discoverer of such a boon to humanity."
This wonderful formula, prepared by one of the largest laboratories in the world and generally known as Mando, work like magic in its rapidity on people of all ages and sexes.
No matter how bad your condition, no matter what your age or occupation, no matter what you have tried, if you want to work like magic in the force of youth" we are so confident Mando Formula will restore you that we offer to send a large $3.50 bottle for only $3.85 on 10 days' trial. If the results are not satisfactory and you are not engaged in every way, it costs you nothing.
Send no money—just your name and address to F. L. Carlin 6406 Baltimore Bldg. Kansas City, Mo. and the treat-master is mailed to us according to the instructions. If at the end of the 10 days you are not showing "wonderful improvement" and "rejuvenation," just send it back and your money will be refunded without an write today offer is fully guaranteed on write today offer this "remarkable formula" a trial.
NO OLA, NO OLA, NO HOOR—A SIMPLE BOSS TREATMENT
While in the army I met a colored prince, who was a soldier in Africa. No one of us would want to treat him, but all of us allowed language and had beautiful attire, amusements. We became acquainted and I asked him what he had on his hair. He said it is much duller than what he had on his hair. I asked him to match it, and he matched it to the same hair he got before.
to return and as soon as he arrived in New York we would surrender him to the United States Marshak. We telegraphed Mr. Garvoy immediately, and the following day advised the Assistant United States Prosecutor that we had done so and that we expected Mr. Garvoy to return sometime during the day on Thursday and if he arrived here before five o'clock we would surrender him yesterday, otherwise we would appear with him in court at 10:30 a.m. Friday.
Mr. Garvey was on a train, with Mrs. Garvey and his secretary, which arrived at 12:58 street at about 6 o'clock last evening. Upon its arrival there the most ridiculous show for the edification and benefit of the Assistant United States Prosecutor's office was staged. A large number of heavily armed men rushed upon Garvey and brutally seized him and dragged him from the Pullman which he had been occupying to the Tomba prison. All this was done, although the United States Prosecutor had our promise and the promise of Mr. Lovy, partner of George Gordon Battle, that the man would be surrendered immediately upon his return from Detroit either today or this morning. But the United States Prosecutor was not satisfied even, with this, and, although he was under agreement with Garvey's counsel to consent to permit Garvey to remain in the Tomba after his surrender for a reasonable time, to enable his counsel to cause to be filed a petition for a writ of certiorari. When the application was made in court this morning to Judge Augustus N. Hand this same Assistant United States Prosecutor vigorously opposed the application.
It is Garvey's intention, and he has so instructed his counsel, to apply to the United States Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari, upon the ground that manifest errors were committed upon the trial of this cause and that the United States Circuit Court of Appeals erred in affirming the conviction.
As a matter of fact, the bill of exceptions filed in Garvey's behalf after trial contains ninety-four errors alleged to have been committed, and this despite the fact that Garvey, a hymn, tried his own case.
Mr. Garvey was very anxious to remain here for a few days, for the reason that he was the head of an organization of about four million colored people. That many of these people have investments in various enterprises of which Garvey is the head; and he was desirous of arranging his affairs so as to protect the interest of this membership.
On February 7, the New York Evening Bulletin published the following editorial:
Great headlines yesterday announced that Marcus Garvey had been "captured" in Harlem and had been a surrendered to the federal courts as a fugitive from justice. Today Garvey is on his way to prison. Justice was quick in his case, but that fact does not justify devising headlines. When Garvey was apprehended he was on a train, returning to New York to give himself up. His coming was no secret. It required little detective work, little sleuthing; to go to the trails

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1925
WHAT'S WHAT IN VIRGIN ISLANDS ADMINISTRATION?
Freedom of Discussion and Trial by Jury Denied— Law Machinery in the Hands of American Southerners — Appeal to Congress for Redress
The New York World, one of the five greatest dailies in the United States, in its issue of December 14, 1924, carried an able editorial on "The Once Virgin Islands," which has commanded interest, from all quarters of Uncle Sam's domain. To the hearts of Virgin Islanders everywhere it has brought elation and encouragement. Its firm grip on the main questions at issue suggests that in the offices of great newspapers there are students of national and international affairs who expouse and champion the views and demands for which the Virgin Islands Congressional Council has been agitating for nearly three years, who refuse to be influenced in their idea of national duty and self-respect by foggy thinking and" prejudiced propaganda of Judge Washington Williams, who is at the same time dictator (czar, in chief), and God knows what not and other advocates of navalism for these recent additions to Uncle Sam's family.
It is well to mention here that this judge—George Washington Williams—has a recent addition to his judicial family, another Marylander, in the person of one Charles Gibson, who is government's attorney, the post recently vacated by the said Williams. Both of these Southerners were appointed by Governor Philip Williams; so you see, the power of Gibson, government's attorney, plus the power of Washington Williams, judge of the highest court in the islands, plus the power of Governor-Philip Williams is a combination of power that pulls the hood-wink tight across the eyes of justice in the Virgin Islands. The inhabitants are grieved and heart-sore, for they feel that the Virgin Islands an American dependency have been shabbiily treated, and that national justice to them having been all too long overdue now assumes the proportion of a national disgrace.
If we Virgin Islanders were like most Fillipins, axiating for permission to cut loose from the United States; or like many Porto Ricans for separate statehood, then it might be possible to raise the cry of "Radicalism" against our demands. But, on the contrary, we are asking for consideration only as Americans. We are maintaining the American point of view against white men born in America whose everlasting shame it is that they advocate methods of dealing with us which fly in the face of every American precedent, hiding their un-American principles behind Danish laws which carried provisions for their own repeal in the very year that the American Government took over the administration of the islands.
Nowhere else in territory peacefully acquired by our government can there be found Americans nineteen-twentieths of whose votable population are prevented from taking public part in the conduct of their local affairs, on the ground that laws passed
and arrest the man. He made no struggle. He offered no fight.
Then why the headlines detailing his "capture"?
Garvey is a Negro, but even a Negro is entitled to have the truth told about him.
It is too bad some of the newspapers which will burst into passions of joy on February 12, and extol Abraham Lincoln, do not practice a little of their own preachings.
Garvey has, been ridiculed, laughed at and buffooned by New York newspapers ever since he came to this city. He did many strange things, it is true, but he performed many fine acts, too.
The BuNetlin gains nothing by taking up Garvey's cause but truth demands that it be admitted that he offered his race an ideal. He proposed a free republic of Nerrores in the land which should be owned and governed by Negroes—Africa.
Some day his ideal will be accepted and it will materialise. Some day Negro Africa will be free Africa, and it will not be divided between France and Britain.

by an allen government make such exclusion necessary. Nowhere else do we find such legislative and administrative expression of the theory of "heads," I win; tails, you lose. This was evident in the recent case of Rothschild-Francia; editor of a local newspaper at St. Thomas, who was convicted of criminal libel without trial by jury—Washington Williams presiding, Charles Gibson prosecuting. Here is where the Eighteenth Amendment of the United States-Constitution is enforced to the detriment of the business man, the planter and more so to the wage earner, on the ground that American laws apply of necessity to every American territory, while the 14th, 15th and 19th Amendments are fragrantly and shamelessly chucked into the discard on dialingenous grounds.
The real grounds of the matter are these: The overwhelming majority of the Virgin Islanders (about nineteen twenteths) are colored people; and in the navy's past and present policy, absorbed by every naval officer at Annapolis, where no Negro is admitted, the theories of racial inferiority and racial subjection rule the roost. To naval officials, therefore, the problem presents itself as a racial one rather than one of American political principles. Against this "damned nigger" theory of the American Navy, the new Americans of the Virgin Islands invoke the authority of Congress, the sympathetic interference of President Coolidge and the public support of the American people. We do not intend to cease our protests and propaganda until this monstrous wrong is righted and the injustice which disregues our nation's reputation in the Caribbean is legally and effectually removed.

Equity Congress Receives
Nationwide Encouragement
At a rousing meeting of Equity Congress, held in its chambers, Sunday afternoon, February 8, it was a matter of profound satisfaction, to the congress to note the nationwide interest being taken by the race in its campaign to secure an all-Negro personnel for the Fifteenth Infantry, New York State Guard. Speaker Charles H. Bailey reported the receipt of telegrams of encouragement and letters of congratulations from almost every State of the Union. "A letter from Ohio applauds the movement as being indicative of a new birth of race interest in the State of New York. Another from Illinois emphatically states, 'The people of New York are finally on the right track, and are waging the battle that was fought and won by the race in Illinois years ago.'
Most valuable support and assistance is being given by the local press, as well as race papers throughout the country. The Amsterdam News and The Negro World particularly are patient fiqists in top order and seal of their support of the movement. Indeed, the secretary's report shows that the city, the prefortions, the press and pulpit are almost as late in their development of the campaign.
The Congress had supposed to hold a grand man meeting in February 14, but made it necessary to purpose this meeting with a letter date, in order that a suitable letter will be submitted. The date of the meeting will have been, to be considered later, that in the importance, the complete sample of our old history is the result of the work of the United States and the other countries.
Inhuman Treatment of Convicts Alleged and Investigation Asked For Southern Prison Reform Pressing Issue of the Times
AUSTIN, Tex., Jan. 31—Drunkenness, graft, inhuman treatment of convicts, and other startling charges against men who are connected with the administration of the State prison system are contained in a resolution which the House of Representatives adopted a few days ago, providing for a complete investigation of penitentiary affairs. T. K. Irwin of Dallas was the author of the resolution. A special committee of five Representatives, headed by Irwin was appointed to take testimony and investigate the sensational charges. Mr. Irwin has made a fight against the use of the "but" in the punishment of convicts and is urging that this form of punishment be abolished.
Recently in Dallas, Julian Simmons, a Negro teamster, was arrested and found guilty of using one of these bats on his team of mules and was fined $10 by Municipal Judge W. C. Graves. Twain's attention was called to the case, and he made a thorough investigation, he said, and found that the law would not allow a teamster to use them on his mules, but that the law sanctioned its use on prisoners in the State Prison. "Think of it," said Irwin. "The laws of this great State reading that if a prisoner disobeys the laws of the prison as laid down by the prison officials he shall receive no less than twenty lashes of this terrible and most brutal of weapons, and yet when a man uses one on mules he is a violator of the laws of this great State.

Negro Wealth Estimated At Two Billion Dollars
According to the latest, Negro Year Book, which has just been compiled by Monroe N. Works, of Tuskegee Institute, the wealth of the Negro in America today is above the $2,000,000-000 mark, which is one and a half times as much as it was in 1912.
The amount expended in 1924 for Negro education totaled $400,000 as contrasted with $12,576,561 in 1912. Up to that year about 4,000 Negroes had completed college courses. In the last 12 years the number has doubled.
During the past decade the Negro, according to Mr. Works, has shown a declining death rate and an increasing health span. In 1912 the death rate 1,000 was 22.9, while in 1932, 10 years later, it was 18.7 per 1,000.
For Negro policymakers in the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company in 1912, the average expectancy of life for males and females of all ages from 3 years was 61.8 years. In 1932 the expectancy for males was 69.9 years, and for females 66.1 years.
Mr. Work noted a tendency in politics toward independence on the part of the Negro voter, and an increasing tendency to vote the Democratic ticket himself. He also demonstrated a large increase in the number of Negro elected to public office.
Other foreigners set forth in the year
books and the essay and activity of cultured
women in politics, the brutal
harmonies in the death of the number
of foreigners affected by vote, the
involved effort of foreigners to help

THE SCENE AT THE STATION AS MR. GARVEY LEAVES FOR ATLANTA
ALL EFFORTS FOR SECRECY OVERCOME, MRS. GARVEY SUCCEEDS IN TRAVELING ON SAME TRAIN AS HER HUSBAND
Great Leader Calm and Smiling, as Guards Look for Demonstration That Never Comes
New York, February 7—"Tell Mr. Bourne to telegraph me at Atlanta word of the ship." With these words to his secretary, one of a small group at the Pennsylvania Railroad station, Hon. Marcus Garvey, handcuffed to a deputy marshal, settled in his seat in a coach of the Washington Express, and was soon chatting unconcernedly with that stern-faced officer. It was 12 o'clock Saturday. Mr. Garvey had just been rushed from the Tombs prison to the Pennsylvania station to begin his trip to Atlanta panitary. "He arrived with two Marshale, the one of the stern visage, to whom he was, handouffed, and, the other a six-footer, with the aspect and bearing of a retired prize-fighter, two pistols strapped to his side. With them, as they walked along the station platform to the coach was a railroad detective, all, except the prize, casting uneasy-glances behind and beyond.
eries, and Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey enters the coach, a through ticket to Atlanta in her hand. The efforts to delve as to the time of Mr. Garvey's departure have been unavailing. A sympathetic reporter tipped off Mrs. Garvey, a couple of officers of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and two lawyers, as they waited at the Tombs prison, of his impending departure. A taxi was pressed into service. Arrived at the station, the group found that practically the whole staff of "Red Cape" at the rail-
Mr. Garvey sees his secretary hurrying past the little band that he may be seen, and "Hello!" comes the cheery greeting, with the characteristic smile, "Everything O. K.7 Received my message?" "Yes, sir." is the reply, and, as if the command "eyes right" was given to a military squad, marahals and detective, ill-suppressed smiles on their faces, turn and stare. "Girl!" they seem to say, "What manner of man is this Garvey?"
Mr. Garvey is now seated in the coach, and the crowd outside poering through the windows increases. A reverend gentleman, noticing the suppressed air of excitement among his fellow travelers, lewis his newspaper and takes in the scene. All the passengers are whispering to each other. One of them, with a grimace, pells down the blinds to shut off from those outside. the last view of their leader. On the other side of the coach a newspaper photographer is hard at work vainly signaling Mr. Garvey to turn his head that he may be the better "shot." The train must leave in two minutes' time.

eries, and Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey enters the coach, a through ticket to Atlanta in her hand. The efforts to delive as to the time of Mr. Garvey's departure have been unavailing. A sympathetic reporter tipped off Mrs. Garvey, a couple of officers of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and two lawyers, as they waited at the Tombe prison, of his impending departure. A taxi was pressed into service. Arrived at the station, the group found that practically the whole staff of "Red Cap" at the railroad station had constituted themselves into a committee to inform them of the moment of the great leader's arrival.
As Mrs. Garvey enters the coach and takes her seat, three seats in rear of her husband, some one taps on the window and Mr. Garvey turns and sees his wife. His smile is in evidence again. Mrs. Garvey, brave little woman, sits calmly, looking at her husband, then at his custodians, then back at her husband. The coach door slams. The train moves. "Damn," says a burly "Red Cap," his eyes filled with tears, "What a shame!" The big marshal, who all the while stood towering over Mr. Garvey, terrorized personified, his hands akimbo, with a sheepish look, takes a seat. The most feared, greatest Negro in the world is on the way to a federal prison.
The Gland That Causes Men to Get Up at Night
The gland that causes getting up at night is known as the prostate and is a notorious trouble maker. It is estimated that 65 out of every 100 men past 40, and many under that age, have the gland often lead to a serious operation. The prostate surrounds the neck of the bladder like a washer. Naturally, when the bladder becomes inflamed by poisons which the kidneys filter out of the blood, the irritation appears to the skin. The gland also serves the neck of the bladder, making irritation difficult and painful and causing pains in the back, head and legs.
An easy way to treat these annoying and dangerous conditions is to take one or two Renex pills after each meal. The Renex pills are available to thousands of such cases. One authority says it also has a valuable tonic effect. Anybody wishing to prove the value of the formula, can get a full-size, two-dollar treatment of the pills under a prescription.

WONDERFUL DEMONSTRATION IS SEEN IN LIBERTY HALL DESPITE IMPRISONMENT OF MARCUS GARVEY
FIVE THOUSAND CROWD THE EDIFICE TO THE DOORS STANDING ROOM AT A PREMIUM-IMPRESSIVE SCENES ARE WITNESSED AS AUDIENCE PAYS SILENT REVERENCE AND SYMPATHY TO THEIR LEADER-GARVEY, IN JAIL, IS STILL THE LEADER OF HIS PEOPLE-THEIR LOYALTY TO HIM IS UNABATED.
A Grim Determination to Carry on the Work of the Organization Is the Answer to Garvey's Incarceration—The S. S. Booker T. Washington Is Safe and Sound—The Lie Is Given to the Statement That She Is Seized in Havana
GARVEY SENDS TELEGRAM APPOINTING A COMMITTEE OF MANAGEMENT TO CONDUCT THE AFFAIRS OF U. N. I. A. MEMBERS RESPOND LIBERALLY TO CALL FOR RELIE FUND TO TAKE HIS CASE TO HIGHEST COURT OR TO SEEK EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY
LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday Night, February 8.—The ill wishers of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, who have prophesied and expected that the incarceration of its leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, would spell the downfall of the organization, have counted without their host. A look in at Liberty Hall tonight would have convinced them of that fact beyond all doubt, for one of the largest gatherings that has ever assembled in the hall was present, upwards of 5,000 people crowding the building to the doors so that even standing room was at a premium. No greater tribute of loyalty could be paid a leader and no more ample evidence of devotion of a people to a cause which they believe is righteous, could be shown than the wonderful demonstration which was witnessed in Liberty Hall, and it proves that with Garvey in prison or cut of prison, the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will go on to eternity, for its spiritual influence has so penetrated the souls of millions of black folks throughout the world, that not even an incident like the imprisonment of their leader can dampen their spirits or make them shrink from the task they have undertaken. On the contrary, it gives them a grimmer determination to carry on the fight for freedom for the race which has been instituted by the greatest leader of modern times, the Hon. Marcus Garvey.
The meeting was marked with impressiveness by the solemn and even reverent silence that was observed throughout, at the request of the Presiding Officer, Hon. G. A. Weston, as a token of sympathy for Mr. Garvey in the hour of his suffering and many a time during the speeches the audience had to use every effort to restrain their emotions and keep them from applauding as tribute after tribute was paid to his leadership. Notwithstanding this, some broke down and wept aloud while others contented themselves with waving handkerchiefs to show their endorsement of what was said. The speakers were Mrs. Susie Blake of Boston, Hon. Percival V. Burrows, Acting Secretary-General Bishop George A. McGuire, Primate of the African Orthodox Church; Hon. C. S. Bourne, Chancellor of the U. N. I. A., and Hon. Geo. A. Weston, Vice-President of the New York local. They all spoke feelingly of the character, manhood and indomitable leadership of Hon. Marcus Garvey and an especially happy note was struck by Bishop McGuire when he suggested, and the audience endorsed it, that the chair of the President-General remain vacant all during his absence and that his robes of office be placed on it, as a silent reminder that he is still the President-General of the organization even though he is confined behind the walls of the prison.
Concurrent with the arrest of Mr. Garvey, the local newspapers published a statement that the steamer Booker T. Washington, which sailed from New York a few weeks ago under the auspices of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Co., was seized in Havana, Cuba, but the lie was given to this statement and all fears dispelled when Hon. C. S. Bourne read a cablegram from Hon. G. E. Carter, Secretary-General of the U. N. I. A., who is a passenger on board the ship, saying that all was well; that the good ship had sailed from Cuba on her way to Kingston and that there was no cause for alarm.
The Committee of Management
The chairman, Mr. Weston, read a telegram from Mr. Garvey sent from Atlanta advising the members of the organization that he had appointed as a committee of management to conduct the affairs of the organization the following: Hon. William Sherrill, Second Assistant President-General Hon. G. F. Carter, Secretary-General and Hon. C. S. Bourne, chancellor. The following other telegrams were also read:
St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 8, 1925.
Chairman Liberty Hall, 128 West 138th Street, New York, N. Y.
Members, friends, New York divisions, let not your hearts be troubled. What Garvey has begun will be completed in spite of jails or prisons and Garvey somehow, somehow, will come back. The enemy has thought to take the shepherd will scatter the sheep but they know not the U. N. I. A. We will not bow our heads but begin from tonight fighting to bring him back where we need him at head of this association. Even where he is tonight he is and will forever be our only leader. Let us continue to go forward.
WILLIAM SHERRILL
Chairman, Liberty Hall, 120 West 138th Street, New York, N. Y. Arrived safely.. Best wishes. Keep up fight for Victory, Morally, Financially, Spiritually. GARVEY. Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 8, 1925.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1928
Sorry can't be with you. Keep the faith and rally for the protection and freedom of him who is suffering for us.
MY JACQUES GARVEY.
As a further evidence of the loyalty of the members, announcement was made of a Relief Fund that would be used for the purpose of taking the case of Mr. Garvey to the highest courts of the land, and leaving no stone unturned to effect his release or bring about clemency for him, and the audience almost to a man came up to the secretaries' tables and contributed liberally to the fund.
Following are the speeches:
Mrs. Susie Blake was the first speaker and spoke on the subject: "Courage and Perseverance; the Great Need of the Negro." She said
THE GREAT NEED OF THE NEGRO
President, Officers, Members and friends of the New York Local, I feel honored to be permitted to speak a few words of encouragement to you this evening. My subject is "Courage and Perseverance, the Great Need of the Negro." I have chosen this subject because I think this an opportune time to be guided by such qualities. We have come to the point where we must muster the courage to say each of us "I can" and "I will." With those few words implanted on our minds, providing that we back up our efforts with sufficient energy of the right kind, we are bound to succeed. In spite of the handleps let us cultivate an optimistic state of mind. Please remember that every thought you think is a compelling force; therefore, expect success, think success, talk success, compel success.
Not Hard to Follow
How can we do that? By economizing time, devote all your moments into constructive thought which naturally will crystallize into constructive work. We have the program we have the leaders, it is not hard for us who follow. We need that "direct-and-do spirit. When a person says "I can" he is confident of his ability to do. When he says "I will," he shows a determination to carry through successfully what he has started.
It is human for those who have been disturbed by troubles and persecutions of various kinds to think of their wrongs and mope; but I tell you, my dear comrades, this won't do us a bit of good. We might as well wake up to the fact now, that a gigantic program as of the Universal Negro Improvement Association would have to meet difficulties. It would meet great obstacles. It would suffer grievous persecution. It would have to give up martyrs to the cause before success could be achieved. This has been true of all reform movements. As a rule, reformers are radicals, and they live in advance of the age. The vision they see cannot be caught but by a few while they live. But the few is always left to sow the seeds to the next generation, until centuries after this great reformer has passed away, then his ideas and ideals are accepted by the many. If you study the history of past reformers you will find it true without exceptions.
Some Examples
Some have had to pay the supreme price of leadership. In the case of Jesus Christ, not only did He give up His life, but His disciples with few exceptions did likewise. Did the persecutions extinguish the fires of Christianity? No! Today Christianity is proclaimed in every quarter of the globe, though in many instances it is corrupted by so-called Christians. Socrates came with a philosophy that those of his age could not see, and he suffered from the hands of the powers of government. Joseph the dreamer was hated because of his dreams and uprightness, and he worked his way through the prison walls to Prime Minister of Egypt. We have numerous examples of people being imprisoned and put to death for a good cause! We have every reason to be courageous and acquit ourselves like men.
When one's conscience sets one free he is free indeed. The influences from without cannot hurt half as much as a guilty conscience. We as a people have had the bad fault, of lack "stick-to-liveness." Now is the time for us to proceed to correct it. Let us all begin with a grim determination that will never say die. Let us hold on with a bulldog determination to this program and obey the commands of those who lead. Let us do to them as Aaron and Hur did to Moses in the Wilderness. You know how they held up his hand while he prayed, during which time the Israelites prevailed over the enemies they were fighting, but as soon as they got tired and resisted the enemies prevailed.
The secret is that we are not to get weary in well doing. We know we are right, so let us go on, working steadily, not looking behind to see the ground we have covered, but keeping our eyes in front to see the vast area that is untouched, and realizing the greater efforts we must put forth.
Soul Cannot Be Impersoned
In 1902 the incarceration of our leader did a lot of good to our people. Many who were infected with hearth, that murmured hiatus, woke up and found themselves working actively for the prison. Now, who can tell that his final imprisonment will not do more good in bringing about the desired result than he could outside the prison wall? Remember Lovincoy's lines:
"Home walks do not a prison make. Nor can here a oge."
The soul cannot be imprisoned. The body but not the real person. It is only the beings in which he lives. One can all the body, but who can touch the
soul? Marcus Garvey may be behind the bars in body, but his spirit is in every Liberty Hall. He is a wonder. Admit it, friends. His enemies know it to be so, and that is why they are fooling themselves into believing that by imprisoning him, they will kill the spirit, the principle, the ideals of the man.
It is for us to show to the world now and for all times, that that is impossible. We new Negroes have the unbelief spirit of the Pilgrim Fathers. We think by way of centuries and generations instead, of by a few years and for ourselves alone. We must visualize generations unborn enjoying the freedom that other races enjoy. We must think of future great grandchildren, counselmen, judges, Governors and Presidents. We must see them foremost in the commercial world, inferior to none. And so we must stick to our program.
In conclusion I leave their few lines on your memory:
The fallings of others can never save you.
Stalk by your conscience, your honor,
your faith:
Stand like a hero, and battle till death."
HON. P. L. BURROWS SPEAKS
Hon. Personal Burrows speaks as follows:
Before I say anything I want to read for your benefit and for the benefit of those who perhaps have not read for themselves, an editorial which shows that we still have hosts of friends. This editorial is clipped from the "Evening Bulletin." It is captioned "As Garvey Goes" and reads as follows:
(A copy of the editorial appears on page two of this issue)
Commenting on the editorial, Mr. Burrows said it was from the "Evening Bulletin," a white newspaper, extolling its fellow colleagues in the journalistic field.
A Dual Duty
"Entering on the subject of his speech, Mr. Burrows said, I will speak for a few minutes on the subject of "Dual Duty." "Last Sunday night, when Hon. Marcus Garvey spoke from this platform—it was his last speech from the platform of Liberty Hall for a time, and it may be, we cannot tell forever; we have got to leave it in the hands of Jehovah, who governs and rules the destinies of mankind—he gave as his subject "What More Can We Do?" Tonight I come with the reply to his question and say: We can do more than we have done. The sum total of the individual's service to his age is the recollection of that individual's life in times like this to that service. Therefore, you are called upon tonight to redelegate yourself to the cause that you have stood nobly by up to the present. And in doing so, a dual duty confrents you."
Marcus Garvey, in my estimation, will always be President General of this organization, wherever he may be, and the time will come when he will be made President General forever. He has been the true champion of a real cause, and your duty as men and women, therefore, is to see that noth-
Hawking, spitting, choking Catarrh and Bronchial Asthma. Head Notes and the many ailments caused from Catarchil troubles need not be dreaded any longer. "Now it is possible for those who suffer from this dread disease to stop their troubles often to be days' time with the W.R Formula," is the following statement of one of the latest this new treatment. This famous Formula is bringing joys now health and freedom from dread catarrh to thousands of people where everything else had failed. "I want to say that my Catarrh was abominably stopped the first day," says F. A. Btoufer. "Before I started taking the treat, my now life was绝迹, especially filled up, causing any head to be so much up, up, and down. I was very deaf and my friends had to about. I was continually hawking and spitting, and was a source of great embarrassment before people to my nothing of the constant suffering and misery, but I can now unquestionably say that all these troubles left me the first day after taking the remarkable performance. We'll be more aware, and I had that my cure is complete and perfect."
I Will Give You a Chance To Earn $200 a Week
ling you say and do will redundant to the detriment of the great work which he started.—This is the first bit of its construction we want to give you. Secondly let us not lose a moment; mothers lost may be regretted. Use every energy that you have in effecting a hearing for him before the highest court of justice. We feel sure that, up to the present time justice has been done. Whether you accept that ironically, nutritionally or otherwise—up to the present justice has been done. It matters not how we may feel personally, let us all feel morally that way and I think that that will do more good than all our doubts and fears and all our reforts to instimulations. Let us, therefore, realize that a double duty confronts us, because he has given us the program of programs, and it is our duty as men and women who have studied the program to resolve that we will follow the principles outlined by him giving us guidance.
Redouble Your Energies
it is for them, thereby, at this time to 'redouble your eagerness; to stiffen your feelings and be mainly and womanly in the presentation of our case to the world. Let us as men and women be as sheep led to the slaughter, opening not our mouths. By so doing you will make him feel that his service has not been in vain, and even though the prison walls surround his body, get his spirit lowers around wherever we are and wherever any member of this race of ours may be found. Because there is no other program pointing to complete emancipation of our race it is our duty to stick mainly and womanly by the principles of this great cause. We must stand by, because we want to show the rest of the world that we, too, can value and appreciate the champion of a great cause. Let us not forget that other men have suffered in the manner, and that when they suffered their followers did not feel bothered over them, because they stuck to the principles and respected them, even although they were incarcerated. In Valera and other great men who have championed causes not unlike ours have also had to suffer, and it is these things that make strong, firm men and women of us; that give us space and backbone to stand the acid test of criticism.
We feel, therefore, that you are going to do your part in itself, but internally and financially in taking our leaders' care to the court of last resort if it can be done. On the other hand, we want to settle down in dead earnest with the spirit of determination that will not die, and carry on even more vigorously, carry on even more
Right now, today, I offer you an opportunity to be your own boss—to work just as many hours a day as you please—to start when you want to and quit when you want to—and earn $200 a week.
Does that sound too good to be true? If it does, then let me tell you about W. J. McCrary. His regular job paid him $2 a day; but his wonderful new work has enabled him to make $16,800 in three years. Spencer Warren is another man I want to tell you about. Mr. Warren made $424.82 in September, $480.82 in October, $419.86 in November, and $272.31 in December. Yes, and right this very minute you are being offered the same proposition that has made these men so successful. Do you want it? Do you want to earn $10 a day?
A Clean, High-Grade, Dignified Business
Have you ever heard of Comer All-Weather Topcoats and Raincoats? They are advertised in the leading magazines. A good-looking, stylish coat that's good for summer or winter—that keeps out wind, rain or snow, a coat that everybody should have, made of fine materials, for men, women and children, and sells for less than the price of an ordinary coat.
Now, Comer Coats are not sold in stores. All our orders come through our own representatives. Within the next few months we will pay representatives more than three
determinedly, carry or even with more enthusiasm, and let us be mindful of what is told us in the Scriptures to "be wise as serpents and harmless as doves."
Pray for Leader
We can accomplish much more by taking our medicine like men and women than by flying in the faces of superior odds at this time. We must pray continuously that the suffering of our leader will not be in vain. We must pray because prayer is the key to heaven; it unlocks all doors, even maternal doors sometimes, but we feel sure that it unlocks spiritual doors. Let us, therefore, use our energies in the right direction; not vauntingly, not boastingly, but manfully. My advice to you is to keep silent on matters concerning the imprisonment of our President-General, but work assiduously towards the one objective, that of seeing that his case goes to the highest court in order that we may be vindicated as members of this organization. His last message to us was, "What more can we do?" We are now confronted with that question, and we want like men and women to show what more we can do. As law-abiding citizens we bow in submission to the law of the land, but let us realize that only one thing will help us at this time, and that is to refrain from doing or saying anything which will bring harm or detiment to the association, of which we are a part.
Let us realize that we are confronted with the duty of working more and talking less, work with determination to bring about success and set the down to the carrying of this great cause, the carrying on the principles given to us by our noble leader, realizing that wherever he may be whether he be tjn prison or at Liberty—he and he alone is our President-General. We must prove to the world that we know how to appreciate a champion who is absent from us, and take advantage of his absence to rule or ruin.
We ask you, therefore, like men and women, to shoulder the responsibility which is placed upon us at this time and carry on regardless of the cost. We welcome everybody here in Liberty Hall at any time, and give the assurance that Liberty Hall will at all times be found peaceful and calm, even more so than it has ever been.

Bishop Alexander McGuire spoke as follows:

Well, here is your chance to find out, for this is the same proposition that enabled George Garon to make a clear profit of $40 in his first day's work — the same proposition that gave R. W.

provement Association, friends, visitors, sympathizers, and others.
This is an unexpected honor, for I agree with the former speaker that to be permitted to say a word or two tonight is an honor—this is an unexpected honor that has been conferred upon me. Sunday is always my hardest day, and at 8 o'clock when I began my service I thought I would cut short my sermon and would come at express speed to Liberty Hall, because I felt that as a member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and especially of the New York Division, I would be guilty of a dereliction of duty if I did not appear. Very frequently my fellow-members of this Division say, "We miss you on Sunday nights," but, after a hard day's work—three or four services—I am very tired and can (Continued on page 6)

Reading about Pe-ru-na I tried it and obtained relief from the first bottle. To make sure of a complete healing I took twelve bottles.

MR. GARVEY LOSES APPEAL FOR NEW TRIAL
THE vast membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities' League scattered throughout the world was shocked and disheartened last week as the news was broadcasted that the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, the three justices concurring, sitting in New York, on Monday, had handed down a decision affirming the conviction of President-General Marcus Garvey of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities' League and Provisional President of Africa. There was very general expectation that a new trial would be granted. The expectation was based upon reasonable grounds, as conviction had been secured on only one of the twelve counts, and that one, apparently, a minor and negligible one. And the evidence on this one count was considered to be of the vagueest and most inconclusive character.
Just how an American jury will construe the law and evidence is just as much a puzzle as when the jury system was first introduced.
The court holds that Mr. Gatvey must serve five years in the Atlanta penitentiary and pay a fine of $1,000, and the cost of the appeal. It is understood that an appeal to the United States Supreme Court will be taken.
The membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association has never lost confidence in the race loyalty and business honesty of Mr. Gatvey. We do not believe that it ever will. He has so impressed his personality, ability and sincerity upon it as to make it impossible to shake that confidence. He has fired the imagination, he has aroused the sleeping consciousness of the race, to its social, civil and economic values, and to the absolute importance of effective organization to secure desired results, as no other leader of the race has ever done, and this impression will abide and continue to bear fruit, wherever there are any Negroes who desire
and there are such Negroes all over the earth, millions of whom have been aroused by Mr. Garvey to see and to understand their own values and to seek to control them for their own well-being. His thought, his hope, in these vital matters have become their thought and hope, and they will not die. Oppression and persecution will only urge them to stand for those things which make for real manhood and womanhood in the life of any people. Mr. Garvey has done that much for the Negro universal. No other man of the Negro race has done as much in the like way.
We are sure that the membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will rally as never before to the support of the Parent Body and to the principles which have made the organization an inspiration and a hope to the Negro people of the world.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN. 1809-1925
THE American people will be celebrating this week the birth of Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth President, who was born near Hodgenville, LA Rue county, Kentucky, February 12, 1809. He was the greatest President we have had, with the possible exception of George Washington, the first one. Washington helped create the Union of the States and Lincoln certainly saved the Union from dismemberment. Washington is called the Father of his country and Lincoln is called the Saviour of his Country. That is glory enough for each of them in his time and place.
Mr. Lincoln was born in very humble circumstances. It is said that he had no more than twelve months of such schooling as was to be obtained at that time, and it was very little indeed. But Mr. Lincoln was an indefatigable reader of such books as he could get the use of and he mastered their contents by sheer persistence. He mastered the law in the same way that he mastered the rudiments of education, and came out of the struggle one of the best educated men and lawyers of his times. He served for a short time in the legislature of Illinois and in Congress and in the Black Hawk war, and in visiting New Orleans as a worker on a flat beat he got such a digest of the slave trade that he became an enemy of the system for life and helped do it to death when he came to be President.
belongs exclusively to us, and we should fix upon a birthday for him and celebrate it by itself in a way that will show our love and appreciation of him as the greatest man we produced in his times as well as one of the greatest Americans of all times.
GREAT BRITAIN PROTECTS THE DEADLY OPIUM INDUSTRY
THE people who have been striving to suppress the opium industry and the consumption of opium other than for medicinal purposes, have been greatly depressed by the triumph of Great Britain, aided by France, over the American proposals to suppress the traffic, at the International Narcotic Congress, at Geneva. Great Britain thus becomes responsible for the evils which follow in the wake of the opium industry, simply because it is a valuable product of East India, profitable not only to British exploiters, but to the British government as a taxable product. There is no more demoralizing and deadly produce than opium. It has been the curse of the people of the Far East and has even crept into America and Europe. The people of China and India are great sufferers from the ravages of the deadly drug.
The United States, China and Japan are pledged to the suppression of the opium trade, while France and Great Britain are pledged in favor of it. It was a dramatic moment in the conference when Mr. Sugimura, the representative of Japan, pledged complete adherence to America's stand in the future. It was not expected and it quite astonished the British and French delegates. It is of the greatest moment that Japan and China are opposed to the opium trade, and it is believed that if the people of India could have their way about it they would join forces with Japan, China and the United States. Ultimately the opium industry must be outlawed. The enlightened world is even now demanding that it be.
A FRIEND PASSES ON AND OUT
SOME times a man does, a great and good work, fills a large place in the minds of men and makes a helpful impression upon mankind, and then slips into a sort of seclusion and is forgotten, except by the few who live in touch with him to the end. When such men died their confemporaries, the rank and file, do not know about them and are surprised to read in their newspapers that such men had lived and wrought. It is one of the penalties of greatness: It is one of the rewards of great service and sacrifice for the good of humanity.
George Washington Cable, who died at St. Petersburg, Fla., January 31, at his winter home, was one of the men who had made a name in literature and in public service and stepped aside and lived his life in New England, at Northampton, in an atmosphere of culture and religion. He had served in the Confederate Army, having been born in New Orleans in 1844. He found it, after the war, a difficult thing to make a living. He took to authorship and became famous for his stories of French Creole life. Forty years ago he was one of the best known and most widely read of American authors. When at the zenith of his reputation he wrote some articles on prison abuses in the South, in which he pleaded for fair play for the poor Negro convict, which so aroused the wrath of his neighbors that he found it necessary to exile himself, and he took up his residence in New England.
Mr. Cable rendered a great and notable service at the time in directing attention to the abuses of the convict lease system in the South, and if we have less of it, part of thing now it is because he began an agitation again, which has grown insistent with the years. That he was made to pay a great price for the service he rendered enhances in our estimation the character of the service.
That he felt the attitude of his friends and neighbors in the South was shown in a marked way at a banquet given by the Summer Union League of Connecticut, at Hartford, about 1885, when the editor of The Negro World, who was then editor of the New York Globe, directed attention to the work and the sacrifice of Mr. Cable. Mr. Cable, who was a very gentle soul, tried to make small of the sacrifice and to excuse his Southern neighbors, but it was easy for the distinguished banqueters to understand that the sensitive soul had been cut deep in the house of his friends.
A fine Christian gentleman of the South, a brilliant American author, a courageous and broad-minded citizen, was George Washington Cable, and the writer considers it a great privilege to have known him and to have enjoyed his respect.
Y. W. C. A. NOTES
Every night is busy in the "Y," but Thursday night, February 5th, was hectic! Club and class rooms were filled to capacity and the physical department was fairly humming. The fact is every other person seemed to be looking for, Miss Nelson and the gym. They were all bound for the first lesson in what promises to be one of the most popular courses ever offered by the "Y," the "Recreation Leader" Course." This course is especially designed for volunteer church and social workers and it includes pageantry as well as other forms of organized play.
To come back, however, to the Thursday night rush, the excitement in the large club room was caused by the "double feature" in the Beau-Arts Club. From eight to nine, Mrs Maud G. Hall, Executive of the Newspaper Service. Department of the Pintorial Review, spoke to the girls on "Charm in Business." Mrs. Hall's talk was very practical and could not fail to be helpful to a large group of self-supporting girls.
There was considerable discussion in the second part of the "double feature" when Mrs Grace Coyle, National Y. W. C. A. Industrial Secretary, spoke on "Inclusions and Discussions of Our Job."
The office rooms on the second floor are always busy and full but, attending special attention on Thursday, was the office in interior decoupling. The office allows trade possession, for Mr. A. Milburn, the insurer, given reasonable assurance of employment to those who show a special aptitude for the work.

Howard University
Summer Session Courses
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Announcement will soon be made of the several courses for the summer session at Howard University. Plans are now being worked out by Prof. George M. Lightfoot, who was recently resignated by President J. Stanley Durkeus as director of the summer session. According to present information, the registration for the summer session will be held June 19 and 20, and the courses of study will begin on June 22.
The summer session will run for a period of eight weeks. The courses offered will be the same in content as those given during any other part of the school year. Howard University has been able during the past two years to build up a summer session which will compare favorably with those conducted by the larger institutions of the country. The work done by the students is of the quality which will secure recognition and credit by other universities.
Prof. William J. Ristudi was the first to undertake the conduct of the summer session. Much credit is due him for the splendid way in which the first two sessions were handled. Most your brings are presented attentively, and it is expected that the coming summer session will have an enrollment twice as large as those of former years.
BLANCHE, TRAY AND SWEETHEART YELPING YET.
By T. Thomas Fortune
Mistfortune dogs the footsteps of people as tenaciously as their shadows cling to them; as tenaciously as the shirt-clung to Jesus and the Cross to Jesus. They cannot separate themselves from the horror that bestraddles them as the Old Man of the Sea bestraddled-Sinbad the Sailor. As haunted Robert Burns wailed it. "The best laid plans of men and mice aff-gang agilee." They cannot tell why, but when they feel most secure, most successful, they fail, they fall down; when they have success within reach it cludes them, and they are undone. L&t us see.
Moses was allowed to view but not allowed to cross the Jordan into the Promised Land. "Thou, too, Brutus!" exclaimed Caesar's his friend's dagger pierced his heart. "Father, forgive them, for they, know not what they do," said Jesus on the cross, speaking of his own to whom he came but who knew him not. "Will they never give way?" exclaimed Napoleon Bonaparte at Waterloo as he hurled the strongest and best disciplined soldiers of Europe against the invincible soldiers of Arthur Wellington.
And when those who have ruled the world and forced the obsequious praise of enemies and time-saving friends, have been worsted and thrown down by the enemies in the house cooperating with enemies without it, rather than by faults of their own, their good intentions, the invaluable service they have rendered for the common good, is forgotten, at least for the time being, and Blanche, Tray and Sweetheart get on the trail at once and do what they can to destroy the good name and works of the fallen. It is the nature of the human dogs to hate and fear those who, as Lord Byron says, ascend to mountain tops and look down on them below.
I go further: When Mr. Frederick Douglass, who had rendered the race and the country transcendant services, who in his service, had flown from the log cabin of a slave to the highest mansions and places of the wise, the learned and the famous, the race turned upon him and tore him asunder when he married a white woman. They would not concede him the right which they had clamored for themselves to select his own wife. The great soul never got over the shock of it. Then, again, when Dr. Washington began his work of industrial education and of cultivating good relations between the races, the Blanche, Tray and Sweetheart Intelligentsia of the race lined up against him and did all they could to hurt and hinder him. When he dined with President Roosevelt and the white South raised a great bowl about it, these yelpers of the race joined in the chorus, saying, "He should have known better!" And, again, when he was assaulted in New York by a white ruffian, an assault which has never been sufficiently explained, his enemies accused him of all sorts of shortcomings, moral delinquency and what not, saying he had "no business to be where he was," and made him so miserable as to impair his usefulness and to help break his big heart, and he died from the horror produced by the malignant offslaughts of his enemies within the race.
Then came Marcus Garvey, with great big ideas about waking up the sleeping Negro people of the world to a realization of their social, civil and economic values, the conservation of their resources for their own benefit, and of helping to redeem Africa from the domination and exploitation of white men, whose greed for the lands and wealth and labor of others makes them soulless, and Blanche. Tray and Sweetheart promptly camped on his trail. He did things in a big way, and he had a large following; and mistakes were made, although his honesty was not disputed by the average, and on a technicality, if you will, the law laid its hands on him and decreed that he must serve time in a Federal prison.
THE AFRICAN SLAVE SHIP
By G. B. B. in the New York World. A spanking ship was the Hannah Jane As she sailed from her native shore And headed away for the open main

Counting the profits
From her burden of

Full soon was answer
And was answered
The rum was exchange
When the Hannah

She was laden with
Yet black men differ
Rum was rated moss
But a few dead blacks

And it netted a tidy

Her owners stood on the wharf and prayed
For a lucky voyage to come.
Counting the profits that might be made
From her burden of Medford rum.
The seas bode calm and the winds blew fair.
And no mischief the ship befell;
Full soon was answered her owners' prayer
Yet black men differed from rum. O Lord—
Rum was rated most precious stuff,
But a few dead blacks tossed overboard?
Why, there always were blacks enough!
For the auction-block was the cargo sold
And it netted a tidy sum;
And straightway molasses filled the hold,
For the making of Medford rum.
Thus the Hannah Jane returned at last
From her circuit across the waves,
And entries were made and profits cast
For molasses and rum and slaves.
Long after the partners both were dead,
Came a reckoning writ with fire.
Though each, respected, had died in bed

When Your Own Business
Is Mine
"I make it my business not to middle with my neighbor. It is nothing to me what he has or does."
You were never so wrong in your life. Granted that none of us wants other people interfering and meddling in matters of personal interest, and granted that there seems to be a tendency to over-interest ourselves in other people's business, and granted that we should counteract the unwholesomeness of this tendency, nevertheless. I maintain that you have certain affairs which are my business and not solely yours. Those affairs are matters pertaining to your health and ill-health. The investment of your money is your own business and your methods of developing your home are largely your own business, your discipline of your children is not directly any concern of mine—but whether or not you are ill is of vital concern to me, for disease is something which knows neither stone walls nor iron bars.
Two things about your health interest me. Is your mental condition sound and of high rating? If not, I should endeavor to prevent your marrying into any branch of my family, for intellectual capacity is hereditary, and it is my duty, insofar as I have authority or influence, to see that my rela-
EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS
It looks as if the majority of the people do not realize that they have added a year to their age. When they talk they say, "We do not know what the future holds for us." The future will be very dark for us if we do not use our "sense" enough.—Phillipine News.
Little things are often done by men who think that they are doing big things. Some men are just too little to get off a thing that's big. These kind think though that they do not pull off anything but big things. And their pulls are big things, but just big things in Little men's opinions. See? These men are too little to do the real big thing—Tampa Bulletin.
As a people, we are great imitators; we are living examples of "Keeeping up with the Jonesses." And If the "Joneses" make the proper display and use of their intellectual and artistic tastes, instead of sinking into the depths of lictentness and demoralising diversions, we venture to say it will be only a matter of a few years until our Caucasian brother will be willing to meet us halfway on the Great Question—Pittsburgh American. We want the very best feelings to exist between the races, and in order to engender such relations, we must do our best, one with the other, to foster and encourage each other in whatever is being done to advance the

Have you a communicable disease? If so, you are a direct menace to my happiness, wealth and my well-being. You stand as a highwayman with a gun pointed at me, demanding that I give you my money, and perhaps my life. If I can outwit you, or fight off the menace of your presence, so much the better for me. If I cannot do so—well, this country lost thousands of lives last year from diseases which are passed from one neighbor to another, that is, communicable diseases. On the economic side, it lost millions of dollars. It was just good fortune that my life was not added to that list, or that I did not, contribute say, a thousand dollars to that sum. Therefore, make no mistake! This matter of the health of my neighbor is of vital concern to me.
I can do a few things about it. I can tell you about the enforcement of the Sanitary Code here in the city. I can help to disseminate information regarding the prevention of the spreading of disease, and tell you of the signals by which the onset of internal disaster can be suspected. I have been doing so. Your business is already mine! Make mine yours.
There Is a Difference
Some gay there is no difference between the old-fashioned and the modern girl, but we are prone to believe that society has permitted the double standard to protect the vices of men and persecute the slightest offense of woman, to the extent that women have desecrated the haunts of seclusion where they went to hide their shame and are, along with their better and stronger halves, allying their sacred domestic affairs in the courts.
common interests of all the people.—Newport News Star.
Money has value—when it represents achievement of brain and brawn, but Heaven pity the man who counts it worth while though obtained at the sacrifice of families, and paid for in blood.—Kansas City Call.
The ignorance which the community will see and feel before many moons, because of the laxity of enforcement of our compulsory education laws, will be a disgrace to a civilized country. There can no democracy without education; for it gives commercial advantages, diminishes juvenile orime and affords opportunities for regimenting slum populations. Further, it affords an opportunity of increasing the influence of the church or in combating its evil influences and increases the national strength. In short, illiteracy is a national disgrace.—Washington Tribune.
We can gloot over what we are as much as we may. We might argue our height and in our oratorical flights imaging ourselves soaring beyond the sun, moon and stars and in such conclusions rest at ease, but the question is are we there? Will the records sustain us? We are privileged to say what we want in compliment to our selves and others, but it does not change our status. We are, what we are, regardless of what may be said to the contrary—Birmingham Reporter.

I wanted that my presence, infinitesimal though it might be, should be noted and recorded with the twenty to thirty thousand members of the New York Division. And I am pleased to see this splendid demonstration and outpouring of the Negro people of Harlem, friends, sympathizers, and others—others may be taken one way or another. But, although not expecting this honor and not being prepared for a set speech, I must obey our Vice-President, the Honorable George Weston, in speaking to you for fifteen minutes. I do not know that I shall burden you with a fifteen-minute speech; however, that is the time allotted.

peared her emotions overcame her; she wept, and as she wept in the early dawn of morning, her eyes filled with tears, she could not distinguish the identity of a form before her and, supposing him to be the gardener, she addressed him. "Sir," said she, "they have taken away my Lord, they have away my Lord, and I know not where they have held him." Against that came another's voice and it said, "Woman, why weepest then, whom seekest thou? You are seeking the living among the dead." And then this voice called to her, that familiar voice, no other voice like that voice, "Mary, Mary." She replied, "Rabbbott," that is to say "Master," and the tears departed from her eyes and she saw clearly it was not the gardener but it was her Master; the grave, was no prison for Him. He had vanquished death and hell. And she drew forward and fell at His feet. He said, "Touch me not, for I have not yet ascended to My Father. Go tell my brethren that I live, I am He that was dead and am alive for evermore, and I have the keys of death and hell and I am Alpha and Omega the first and the last."
Chair to be Vacant
And so we are assembled here. Whom are we seeking? They have taken our leader—we will not be blasphemeous, but we can draw our illustration" from holy writ—The woman said, "They have taken away my Lord," and we say they have taken our leader. But he still speaks to us even though we see him, not in his accustomed chair, and though not desiring to advise, I strongly desire to see his chair of his, especially on Sunday nights, left therefore with that purple robe of his and the cap, the symbol of authority, the symbol of leadership, even as in Great Britain when the King opens Parliament he appears and all do him honor and if he does not appear to open Parliament his chair remains, there vacant, the symbol of authority" that he is still ruler, "and so we may talk of him as remaining President General. But
THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1905
let us have a symbol of that fact, let us place his gown there, the purple robe, the kingly, princely cap, and let men see that though he is absent he is present with us in spirit. They can take him away from us for a wine, they may take him away from us for a prolonged season, or, as Brother Burrows has said, they may take him away from us indefinitely, permanently, but they cannot take Marous Garvey out of our hearts. (Cries of No! Not! When Napoleon was leading his armies he became the terror of Europe and the enemy nations trembled; his soldiers would die for Napoleon under all circumstances, and in one of the battles one young stalwart French soldier was wounded; he received a bullet through the chest penetrating deep through the lobe of his lung and when the surgeons took him and began to probe down feeling through the opening for that deadly piece of bullet he bore it magnanimously, patiently, and when at last his strength began to desert him, the beats of his heart began to fall, a grim smile came over his face. One of the surgeons asked him "Why do you smile at such an hour as this?" His answer was "I smile because if you probe a little deeper you would find my emperor Napoleon there."
So, men and women, with all the sentence—and we are not going to refiect upon the justice or injustice of it, it is beyond our ken, it is in the hands, of those who administer the law, and if we are loyal citizens, if we are loyal residents of this republic we shall not criticise our institutions—we can still labor, brothet.

So whatever the sentence may be, whatever the verdiot-confirmed as it is—we shall still hold him dear; that does not make an lot of difference with our loyalty to our leader. Where have they laid him? Tonight, brethern—for he finished, his journey today—in a cold damp prison, a prison where Negroes are treated only as brutes and beasts are, a prison where they receive the roughest kind of treatment. There he lies tonight; but he is not discomfited, he is not vanquished, he is not defeated. That noble spirit within him, that: perfectly physical body that has kept him up through the difficulties that beset him will stand by him.

It is a work of superblegation to tell Marcus Garvey "He strong and of good courage." We have to send him a message; it is our duty; but we know if there is one strong man, if there is one courageous man, if the Negro race, that man is the Honorable Marcus Garvey.
Biggest Victory for the U. N. L. A.
Perhaps many who are standing here tonight have come to see us in the hour of our so-called defeat. Out of what they consider defeat will come the biggest victory for the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We do not intend to let the work of this great man go to pieces. Don't think that it is going to troll and fall. I remember three weeks ago, when I stood on the deck of the Booker T. Washington, assuring Mrs. Garvey in the chieftainment of that boat, I gave as the subject of my address, "What Manner of Man Is This?" Some of them have read it in The Negro World, and have come to see, saying, "What about your speech of these Sundays ago—what manner of man is this?" I told them that I stand behind every word and every description I make of Marcos Garvey as to what manner of Marcos Garvey is, for the reason that the second part of my address will still be demonstrated more and more—what manner of people are these?
Will Not Falter
They do not know us; they don't know our beauty; they don't know our devotion. And so, those who have come to see and to hear some new thing, we are going to carry on and we are not going to fall. All that we know of racial consciousness; what we know of the hope, of the vision, of our aim and destiny, have been revealed to us by this, our leader. And we are going to carry on. They may take him in his physical personality from us, that we cannot see him now, but what he has taught us cannot be taken out of our hearts, and his picture occupies in our vision, even though we clobar our eyes, and his voice tonight stings in our ears; his spirit is here, and I think he would tell us, if we could see him, "It is for you to be strong and of good courage." That would be his message to us.
When, on the eve of the French Revolution, the little boys around France got the spirit to drive the tyrants from their power in France, those boys dressed themselves like little soldiers and marched up and down the village and hamlets of France drilling, and when the grown-up folks asked them what they were doing it for, they said, "Tremble, you tyrants, for we are growing." And through these little boys who march here on Sunday nights and these little girls, to say nothing of us of the mature generation, they have got the spirit of Murious Garvey.
Hundreds and Thousands of Marcus Garveys
There are hundreds and thousands of little Marcus Garvey, not only in New York, but in Canada and all through the forty-eight States of the Union, in Central America and in far-away motherland Africa. And they are saying to those who would defeat our cause and think that because they have taken away the shepherd that the sheep will be scattered. There they are wrong. Smite the shepherd, says the Bible, and the sheep will be scattered. But they have counted wrong this time. Do they.

look as if they are scattered fondly?
They have smitten our shepherd, but
we have not scattered. We have drawn
a little closer to each other, and now
is the time for us to put away all
differences.
Put Away All Differences
If one unit had a difference with another unit; if the Royal Guardis did not have harmony with the African Lesians, and the Motor Corps did not have harmony with the Black Cross Nurses, we cannot afford to do it any longer. We want to drop our little petty, family differences and now stand together like a mighty phantom; and if you didn't wear your Red, Black and Green for many months because you didn't mind, now is the time to walk through Hurlem every day with it. I am going to walk with my Red, Black and Green to let them see that I am not ashamed to be known as a Garvey.
Stand Behind Your Leader
Stand behind your leader; that is one of the best things you can do. These little boys say "tremble, tyrannies; we are growing"; and so the little boys of this organization are going to take our places when we are gone; they are going to take their places as Potentates, as Supreme Deputies, as Right Honorable Executive Officers, and they are going to make the tyrannies and oppressors of the Nexte race over the world tremble. Keep going on, brethren; do not falter for a moment. In your heart his picture is there as it is in mine. And so I say to those who have taken him away from us: "We have bain in our hearts tonight and there he shall ever live."
Following Mr. Burrows, I will say that the best thing for us to do is to carry on peacefully. Many people thought we were going to have a tremendous Friday; once again we wooed them, and we are going to keep on cooling them. They thought that we were a set of disorderly people and that most of us were foreign alien people, but we are going to show them that whenever they may see a follower of Marcus Garvey walking down Lenox avenue and Fifth avenue and Seventh avenue and all the way up St. Nicholas avenue, they will see an orderly lady and a cultured gentleman of the Negro race; and it is by our deeds from now on that we shall conquer. And if Marcus Garvey, our leader, is to receive clemency by way of release or otherwise, it will depend largely upon the spirit in which we conduct ourselves.
There are evidences that we have friends not merely of our own race, but of the other race.
We still have a few friends among the Negro race, and when you have something that politicians want you can get everything. And we have a fair-minded man in the White-House called Calvin Coolidge. He is not a man, moved by emotion; he is not a man moved by sentiment; he is a clear-minded, calm thinker; and when he shall be in due, time properly approached, and when other man in the Senate and Congress shall be approached; when our leaders here, some of them Republican and more of them Democratic, shall be approached by us.
gist is out of it. I will send you my hat down on H. H. Vyn Hallick, President. Note: If you will send me 38 cents pay your mail man Q.M.
I believe that they will do everything in their power, if it is humanly possible—and I believe 'it is humanly possible—to bring about clemency in the case of Marcus Garvey.
Broadcast.the Spirit
Let us broadcast from Liberty. Hall the message from the mother division; for after all the New York Division is that which has stood behind Marcus Garvey. Some of you have absolutely become poor. When it was published in the papers the same morning that he was taken into custody, that the Cubans had detained our ship, the Booker T. Washington, one poor woman on Seventh avenue stood up and she could, scarcely realize that it was true, and she said, "I haven't a penny left; I gave everything for that ship but I don't mind. I will still stand behind Mr. Garvey." And, so, members of the New York Division, you who have borne the burden and heart of the day, let us make this division the broadcasting station, L. H. (Liberty Hall) of New York city; and sent out a radio to Cleveland, to Cincinnati, to Detroit, to Chicago, across the Atlantic to our brothers in England and South Africa and Africa. We have a right to send out a radio as the mother division; they look to us for advice; they look to us for counsel, and when our own reporters shall have put In the Negro World of this week—for they all breathlessly awaiting the ad-

So let me be the announcer to send out the radio message, and I begin with you. Mr. Sameepe Deputy, the message, sir, is to carry on, and I say to you Brother Bourne, the Chancellor, and to Brother Carter, who is on duty, and to Brother Burrows, and to all the other members of the Executive Council, carry on. I say to you Brother Weston, as Vice-President of the New York Division, carry on; Negroes awake; ye sons of Africa awake and carry on. Let me say that we Negroes have learned a new lesson, that is to follow a leader; that misfortunes do not make us scatter like snow before the melting sun. Carry on, men and women.

I shall be here to encourage and give my services, if needed, to go here and there while these brethren hold the fort until Carvery comes. "Hold fort, for I am coming." Marcus Garvey signals still.

RHEUMATISM
A Remarkable Home Treatment Given by One Who Had It.
In the year of 1893 I was attacked by Muscular and Sub-acute 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.

We want to see it and know it. as the chair of our leader, whether they call him, the self-styled Provostial President of Africa. We don't mind what they call him; the jeeus is just a sweet to us whatever name it may, be called. And we want to see his robes of office here in his own chair. Lot the other men carry on the work and in God's time. He will dispose, for He is the Judge of all and the arbiter of all human events.
Our duty at this hour is to convince the world that we are not going to struggle like dogs for bones; we are not after offices; we are after preserving the great organization that our leader founded and to let the world know that Garvey cannot live forever. Whether he were here with us, when he reaches 78 or 90, he must die like his fathers before him, but men may come and men may go, but the Universal Negro Improvement Association goes on forever. And so, men, and women-of the Negro race, children of the Negro race, friends and sympathizers of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, carry on, carry on, carry on.
HON. C. S. BOURNE SPEAKS
Hon. C. S. Bourne said: It is indeed gratifying to get such a wonderful gathering here this evening. There is absolutely no reason why we should not have this great gathering every night in Liberty Hall, because the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is intended to better conditions not only among the members of the organization, but among Negroes all over the world, and it is unfortunate that many are only here tonight for the purpose of seeing what effect the recent incarceration of the President-General would have upon the organization. I only hope that same spirit that brought you here tonight will bring you every night and that you will hear the doctrine of the Universal Negro Improvement Association so propounded that in due time you will become ardent members and supporters of our program.
On Thursday of last week, after the President-General was captured (7) as they put it. The New York World came out with an article saying that the Steamship Booker T. Washington was held in Havana by the Cuban Government. That was intended to dampen the spirit of the members of our organization at the psychological moment when Marcus Garvey was behind the bars; but I am glad that they have not been able to do that, because the following morning we had more than 50 persons that came in and contributed to the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Co.; and here in my hand I have a cablegram which I will send to you that will eradicate from the minds of the skeptical those who wish harm to the organization any doubts as to the safety of our ship and assures them that, the Booker T. Washington is in perfectly good condition.

"I read this to show you that everything which is printed in the newspapers is not right."
Referring to our President General, we are satisfied that this work is going on, and if all the enemies bound themselves together they can not stop us in our march to freedom under the Universal Negro Improvement Association.

Crying will not Help
I am going to ask you members of the organization to be quiet and calm; say or do nothing that will reflect discredit on the organization. We intend to resort to the highest count in the land and ultimately we will appeal to the executive clemency of the President of the United States until Garvey is released, and if he serves five years before we can accomplish this end, Marcus Garvey will come back to Liberty Hall and carry on the work where he left. I received a telegram from him at Atlanta saying that he arrived safely. He is safe; your spirit is there with Garvey; do not cry; this is no time for us to cry; this is the time for us to work; while he is suffering we are going to work; we cannot help him by crying; we can help him by having a strong spirit and determination. His telegram gave me certain instructions which I cannot read, but he asks to announce at Liberty Hall that the Committee of Management shall consist of Mr. Carter, Mr. Sherrill and myself to carry on the work. It is for you to realize that even though Marcus Garvey be away for five years he is still President General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
SOUTH AFRICAN NATIVES TALK OF FIGHTING
Women Forced to Carry Passes as in Slave Days in United States—Overworked and Underpaid and Taxed-To-Death Exasperation Has Reached the Fighting Point
To the Editor of the Negro World:
Please allow me space in your interesting paper, the Negro World. Sir, I am publishing one of the articles which was published in the Cape Times some weeks ago, saying January 2, 1925, all the females in Pretoria and some other big cities are to be compelled to carry a pass.
Now, we the seven millions native Africans, have asked ourselves a question. What are we going to do then? Are we going to sit still and let our women suffer from carrying pass? The African National Congress, as our government, has come to this conclusion. Our women are not going to carry and pass, not as long as we men are alive. The seven millions native Africans are prepared to go to hell together with our women, if necessary. The white people of South Africa are looking for trouble and, by God, sooner or later, they are going to get it.
Since the white men came in Africa, 300 years ago, they never played the game fair with black men. We have been suffering under the white men's feel.
Negroes of Africa, Negroes of America, Negroes of Liberia, Negroes everywhere, are you going to answer the call your dear women, who are going to be compelled to carry a pass in the Union of South Africa, next year, 1925? Black man, watch what you are doing. The great battle is on. Let us not wait until we are all dead. Let us leave no stone unturned. Let us march forward and carry our flag, the red, the black, and the green till the land of our fathers, Africa, is redeemed!
We have been taxed to death. We have been put in jail for no reason. Our_woman have been raped without redress. Our land has been taken away from us. We were murdered in Port Elizabeth for no reason; we were killed in Bulkkoek for worshiping God; we were killed in German Southwest without mercy, armless Africans. What are we afraid of now?
Since three hundred years ago the white man has been looking for trouble, and today he has met the trouble he has been looking for. Look off, Mr. white man, the black man of today is not of three hundred years ago. The white people of South Africa are playing with fire, which is going to burn them. They are sharpening a rasor to cut somebody's throat, not knowing that they are sharpening it to cut their own. Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands and the prince shall come out from Egypt and the red and black and the green shall fly on hill tops of Africa. God bless Africa. Ngoe Sikolela Africa.

It is necessary to classify the parts of the soul in order to conceive the relation which they sustain to each other and their correspondence with each cause and effect. The end or ultimate design is always the cause which institutes an effect, and both of these are engaged in accomplishing the end. The soul is composed of three distinct parts: love, will and wisdom. Love is the first rudimental element of the soul; it is that liquid mingling delicate inexpressible element felt in the depth of every human spirit, because it is the germinal essence. Will is a living force which serves as the connecting medium between love and wisdom and is subject to the influence and suggestions of each. It is an innate consciousness of energy. Wisdom is the perfection of love, the sealing element of the human soul and the establishment of the soul in a perfect constitution. Wisdom flows from love, and is directed by experience modified by will and rendered perfect by knowledge.
Wisdom is the thinking principle, the faculty which explores the fields of terrestrial and celestial existence. It analyses, calculates and commands obedience from all subordinate passions of will and love. Love being the first element or essence of the soul is imperfect and unguided. On the one hand it is the parent of impulse, fantasy, eccentricity and inflated conceptions; on the other of tenderness, kindness, affective attachment of all pure and unsophisticated sentiments springing from inward depths and expressed in language, in music and in paintings. Love conceives all loveliness, gentleness, sweetness in their various modes of manifestation. It is exhibited especially in conjugal attachment, out of which there arises the love for mankind generally which begets families and associations. It has yearnings for the invisible and sublime, finding outward expression in ideal conceptions clothed in words infusing chastity, refinement and amblability. Into all other affection love has also an attraction for self, sometimes expressed by unrighteous plans for self-emolument by deception and destruction of life by all those, unsanctified and corrupt inventions which through misdirection of such love—prevail throughout the human brotherhood.
But love involves also unbounded benevolence, finding expression in mighty movements for the amelioration of mankind and the ultimate establishment of distributive justice and universal righteousness. It has furthermore an affection for what is just, expressed by conscientious relations between mand and man and by reciprocity. This is the love of the moral righteous and holy, it conceives all divine perfection, aspires towards the divine mind, and those exalted sentiments which are the highest attributes of man. Love also gives birth to hope clothed in contemplation and expectancy of things desired by the other affection of its nature. From the faculty of love as basis of the soul flows that of will which becomes the mediatorial instrument of the human mind employee to encompass those ends that love desires. Herein are made plain the three moving principles engaged in the attainment of ends. Love conceived that which is congenial to its affections. It prompts the will to act in order to accomplish the end, and the will is therefore love's means. Will is a living force which evolves thoughts suggested by the workings of love and expresses them in manifest forms, in movements of the body and in all external action, as it does not institute any movement
of itself, but works only as emailed and prompted. Love in the primary course of external action and will is the effect produced. The third faculty of the soul is evolved from will and love. It is the highest and most perfect, joining and pervading the others so that the three form a perfect whole. This faculty is Wisdom. The office of Wisdom is to hear the suggestions of love and will and, to modify them according to reason. From order and harmony love without will would be eccentric and ungoverned among material things were it not for the presence of wisdom, which presides over and directs both. Wisdom is contained in love as germ of the soul. It is developed in its body which is will and perfected in its own flower. It is the crowning faculty of the soul, and the most perfect of all its attributes. It gives order and form to all things in the outer world, and the further its sphere of action is extended the more will the world display beauty and harmony. The more it is restricted in its actions and the less its dictates are needed the more will nature and man's artificial creations become disorganized and useless instead of displaying peace, beauty and reclocipity.
The great Divine mind is love in its essence, light and life of the universe. The universe is the body of love and its perfect form. But wisdom is the highest attribute and the great ultimate of eternal design. Here then are the three parts of the universal system. The Divine mind or love, and this is the soul. The universe which is form, means, mediator and body. The spirit which is the wisdom and grand design of the entire system. The end primarily designed was individualization of the human spirits, for the attainment of which cause and effect were brought into requisition. This truth is demonstrated in every department of the terrestrial sphere, but is particularly exemplified in the nature and development of the human soul which are in exact correspondence with the system of the universe.
Everything is perpetually displaying in its upward and outward movements, and cause and effect, light and life, are love, order and form are wisdom. Hence it is highly necessary that the mind should comprehend the great truth that nothing exists in the outer world except as produced and developed by an interior essence of which the exterior is the perfect representative. Among the various arts and sciences may be found demonstrations of this truth, and its importance. Every form invented by man represents that inward thought which is cause of its creation, so also every form corresponds to the inward suggestion of love that is created by the living effort of will, modified and perfected by the direction of wisdom.

Southern College Students Of Both Races Co-operating
HAMPTON, Va. Feb.-William C. Craven, student secretary of the International Y. M. C. A., recently spoke to the Hampton Institute workers and students on "Ventures Made By Christian Students in the South." He referred to the four big questions which everywhere confront, Christian students—war, race relationship, capital and labor, and democracy for students, or the youth movement. He stated that students throughout the world are attempting to find their place in the world's work. He outlined the effects of the student convention at Indianapolis, at which some 5,000 representatives from 600 colleges, including 500 colored students from 100 institutions, attempted, through frank discussion, to discover how Christ would have them solve perplexing problems. He conferred particularly to the interracial co-operation of college students in the South who have, during the past year, through forum discussion and helpful contacts, come to understand the problems which white and colored people everywhere face.

WANT NEGRO SOLDIERS IN INAUGURAL PARADE
Movement on Foot to Bring This About — Parade Would Be Incomplete Without Negro Soldiers
By the A. P. A.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The colored citizens of Washington are urging W. T. Gallther, chairman of the Inaugural Committee, and William H. Butler, chairman of the Republican National Executive Committee, to extend invitations to four colored military organizations to be present and take part in the Inaugural parade.
The military outfits they request to be invited are the "Old Fifteenth," of New York, now known as the 269th Infantry; the Eighth Illinois of Chicago; Company L of Massachusetts; and the First Separate Battalion of the District of Columbia, the last two organizations having served as units of the 322d Regiment of Infantry overseas.
The petitioners say these organizations are the military pride of their race, not only in Washington, but throughout the United States.
It become known today that Col. Arthur Little, commanding officer of the 369th New York, has forwarded a letter through military channels requesting to be among the military
units of the organization to represent the State of New York in the inauguration.
Don't Worry Over Failures, Fight for Success Always
From the Illinois Conservator
Do not anticipate failure—do not worry over prospective failures—make 'success your goal. Many persons court failure—talk failure and think in terms of failure. Why not ever keep on your bulletin: "Success." A general who knows his business never takes failure and fear and doubt, to his soldiers, but success, triumph and serenity. Some of you never talk anything but woes, trials and tribulations. One-of the paradoxes of many church members and professional christians is that they are forever talking about the "rough ronds" they have to travel and how hard, it is to live right, and get to heaven—they go around complaining about how mean people are and how hard it is to make ends meet, etc. The reverse should be the rule and not the exception. If there is any efficacy at all in Christianity and religion. You should be happy when possessed of them—you should see good in all things and persons—some good—the good is there and if you fail to discern it, you are lacking and not the ones of whom you complain. Get gladness and goodness out of life by putting into life and the lives of others gladness and your religion and church going and prayers, will avail you some good and the world. But you must be doers and not sayers only of the word.
OUR WOMEN and WHAT THEY THINK-Edited by Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey
ALL movements for national and racial expression have met with opposition; even by those to be benefited by the progress of such movements. Through a system of intimidation and bribery the powers in control of weak and unorganized groups make every effort to crush the rising spirit of self-consciousness among those whom they desire to subjugate and exploit; hence he who initiates such movements for freedom and liberty must be prepared to encounter opposition, persecution and treachery, in his own ranks.
The struggle for emancipation politically, religiously or racially is always a long drawn out fight, carried on sometimes for centuries; while its advocates pay the price in money, property and blood. Marcus Garvey knew all this when he started his great organization and made up his mind to bear the sacrifices necessary in the struggle upward. Therefore, his enemies find in him a brave soldier, who knows no defeat until the cold haud of death beckons him to follow. Even in death there will be no defeat, for the ground that he has gained will be held by his fellow comrades, who will lift high the flag of the red, black and green and sing, "Advance, Advance to Victory, Let Africa be Free!"
The determination of the millions of members throughout the world to carry on the work of the organization is Marcus Garvey's tower of strength during his imprisonment, and though he cannot be with them in the physical, yet his spirit will lead them to greater achievement and success. He's President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in prison or out of prison, and his strong personality has permeated the hearts of his followers who are obeying his command, "GO YE INTO ALL THE WORLD AND PREACH THE GOSPEL OF GARVEYISM."
"WHITE LAND FOR WHITE PEOPLE." "HOW COME?"
A COUPLE of weeks ago one of our readers sent us a clipping of an editorial from the New York Evening Journal, but he omitted to note the date of the paper. However, the subject matter of the editorial is important to us as Negroes and compels attention. In referring to the negotiations between Brazil and Japan relative to the restriction or suspension of immigrants from the latter country, the editorial states:
"Japanese statesmen, among the ablest in the world, eventually will realize that the WHITE RACES intend to keep for themselves territory that they now possess, that they have settled, and civilized: "ASIA for the Asiatics, AMERICA, EUROPE, AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND for the European races, AFRICA for blacks and whites combined is the sensible programme.
"The races will not mix on a big scale. The sensible thing is for them to continue friendly competition, each In his own place."
A very worthy compliment is paid to the Japanese when their statesmen are rated "among the ablest in the world" by the proud, boastful Anglo-Saxan. The yellow race has leadership in brave little Japan and protection in the power that it has acquired. No wonder the white world acknowledges the reality of the slogan, "Asia for the Asiatics."
North America was once the home of the red man, now the white man possesses the land and the aborigines lie buried beneath the sod. Europe is the natural home of the white man; Australia and New Zealand were once occupied solely by, Bushmen and Maoris. Now the white man rules these countries to the exclusion of future Negro emigration. These are indications of the fate that awaits Africa if Negroes at home and abroad do not join their forces and hold the land for themselves and their posterity.
The writer of the Journal editorial claims that Africa should be for black and white, yet his caption reads, "White land for white people." How does he reconcile the two statements? The Negroes of the world know that Africa is the natural home of the black people, just as Europe is the natural home of the European. We are in perfect accord with the idea of white land being for white people, but we refuse to split up the black land of Africa with white people. This is the sensible determination of Negroes who realize and appreciate the economic value of the vast continent of Africa to a pauper race. The races "will continue in friendly competition, each in his own place," and the present infringement on the black man's land by aliens is agitating his mind and rousing him to organized action as never before in an effort to possess, occupy and rule the land apportioned him by the Supreme Architect.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, FRIUARY 14, 1928
THE WOMAN WHO SEES
From New York Sun
Wifhood and maternity are steps in my evolution as an individual, and I do not intend to be submerged by either of them!'-- Thus declared the Woman's pretty young cousin on her wedding eve, while the Woman, smiling inside, nodded.
That was five years ago. Two years later a baby arrived, "Now," thought the Woman, "this is where Beronice weakens." But did Beronice weaken? No. Occasionally, on request, she sent snapshot of the handsome infant or groups including its parents. He was mentioned casually in letters, but when the Woman begged for details of her godson she was regaled with accounts of his mother's budding civic activities.
Much impressed, the Woman ran down to Washington in April to see her cousin, who was mottling through the springtime South with a convalescent father. She found her adorably bobbed—she was doing this last two years of the college course interrupted by her marriage. The action was cared for days by a young mother nurse. Berenice, if you believed her, glanced at him in the evening to see that no parts were missing and popped him into bed. The Woman was 'convinced—almost—that this young flapper mother, was really a superparent, a product of the new age. And then one afternoon they dropped into a restaurant, deserted but for a woman with a tiny-baby in her arm—the new-come sort that only the night before Berenice had described to the Woman as too deadly uninteresting for words—whether it was your own or any one's else.
Having found a pleasant table, the Woman glanced around for her cousin's approval. She was not there. Across the room she stood, the stranger's baby cuddled to her breast, her face aglow with soft radiance.
When she rejoined the Woman she whipped out a cigarette and lighted it in an embarrassed effort at nonchalance, but the mother beauty shone in her eyes and would not be dimmed, and after a moment she said: "I give a mighty lot to see that younger's r of mine this minute!" The Woman knows now that one thing, at least, in this changing world will never change.
BLAME YOUR SELF
From the Portland Advocate
It is easier to follow the crowd morally on its way than to buck up and fight. It requires loss strength, to accept things as they come than it does to turn in and get something better. The lazy man says, "Accept things as they are." The strong man demands a change for the better. He refuses to be satisfied with anything less than his share of this world's goods. Instead of complaining about hard times, he rolls up his sleeves and hustles until something better turns up.
The world owes every person a living. The only way to collect your part is to go in and sweat for it. Some few people are able to get something for nothing but the chances are that you are one of those who must work for bread and butter, shelter and clothes. The most disgusting of all human beings is the fellow who sits around and cries about, "I never had the same opportunity that certain other people had." You are a fool to blame fate for your condition. If you will investigate your past, life fairly, you will find that the fault is all your own. Instead of trying to overcome difficulties you accepted them as defeat. You didn't try to swim up the stream. It was too strenuous. You simply floated down with the rest of the debris. And unless you turn around and work your way back you will eventually find yourself piled up with the balance of the human wreckage at the foot of the hill.

First Silver Coinage
Silver was first coined on the island of Argentina. Here the ancient Greeks stamped a turtle on their first silver coins over 700 years before the Christian era. The first silver coins in the United States were issued by the Massachusetts colony, which minted small silver coins, familiarly known as the pine-tree shillings. The mint was closed by order of the crown in 1644. The first coins made by the United States Government were in 1795.

Buy This PROVEN WAY TO STOP FALLING HAIR and DANDRUFF
Dandruff, falling hair, itching scalp and baldness are enemies to scalp health and the growth of long, lustrous hair. Scientists admit they are "germ" diseases and to cure them the germ must surely be destroyed.
There's no longer reason for having pus, unhealthy scaly and dull hair. It has been proven that MADAM C. J. WALKER'S WONDERFUL HAIR PREPARATIONS are directly applied to harmful germ life, that they attack only diseased thrombus, and to keep the scalp free from dandruff and itch, after falling hair, enrich the scalp, stimulate growth and make for long lustrous hair.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1925
SANTIAGO, CUBA
The Santiago division of the U. N. I. A. held many enjoyable meetings during the Christmas Holidays. Our Liberty Hall on January 12 was packed to its utmost capacity with members and new faces never seen before.
The musical program was conducted by Mr. St. John McCreath, who handled his choir with great skill; he presided at the organ. An inspiring address in the form of a sermon was delivered by Teacher Wilson which stirred the audience. He urged them to cling to the U. N. L. A., the only hope for Negro Redemption. He implored his hearers to support the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. After this address, the choir rendered a selection, "I Will Lift Up Mine Eyes." Rev. Jos. E. Dormant who was assigned to preach the sermon was so touched with emotion and the hour was so late that he deferred his sermon until another Sunday. Nevertheless, he addressed the gathering and told his listeners that there is no cause so great as the U. N. L. A. Other persons who helped to make this meeting sung a great success were: Messrs. Geo. Rowlins, J. L. Davis, vice President H. Stonewall Jackson, Miss Vida, Scott, lady-President.
The members of this division through this medium beg to thank the non-members for their kind, support on this occasion. Our motto for 1925 is "Let's Get Together and Stay Together Through Thick and Thin." H. STONEWALL JACKSON, Reporter.

It is hard to believe that such a thing could be done among civilized people of the world and especially in this country and State of ours.
"When the 'bat' was brought to my attention and I was told that it really was used in whipping men," continued Irwin. "I made infiltries into the matter. The tales that were told me by people that knew made my blood run cold and especially so when one person told me that the crack of the bat being applied to a convict's back could be heard for a distance of 500 yards."
The "bat" is 30 inches long, about four inches wide and one-eighth of an inch thick and is made of heavy leather, the handle being large enough for the whipper to get a good hold on it.
"I imagine if you can," said Irwin, "being tied, laid on the ground and a brute, noted for his strength, laying that death, dealing device across the body of a stripped human and all because he had not lived up to some rule hated by prison laws.
"I don't think that the Christian people of this great State want that sort of brutality going on within the borders of this State and I have talked to many members of the Legislature and have found that they feel as I do on this question."
In a message to the Legislature, Gov. Mitiam A. Ferguson called attention to the fact that she recently had her husband, former Gov. James E. Ferguson make an investigation of the prison system. She did not say anything about the asserted ill treatment of convicts or other abuses of administration, charged in the resolution which the house adopted. Her statement to the Legislature in regard to the prison system says:
"I have recently had an investigation made of the condition of the prison system of the State and I know that on Jan. 8, 1925, there were 3,336 prisoners confined under jurisdiction of the Prison Commission. More than 3,100 of these prisoners are employed on the sixteen farms of the State. The remaining number are confined at the headquarters prison at Huntsville, being 462 in number. Recently, Gov. Neff, with the assistance of the Prison Advisory Board, has established what is known as an hogor farm where prisoners with good records are permitted to do their work without the restraint of guards.
"While the idea is yet in its infancy and the final result cannot now be foretold, yet, in view of the high purposes of humanity on the part of Gov. Neff and the board establishing state farms, it is my opinion that the farm should be continued until such time as reason and discretion will require its discontinuance.
"An incentive for good conduct and efficiency should be extended to the prisoners in the State Penitentiary. For this reason I shall appoint a Board of Pardons for the hearing of all applications for executive clemency that may be presented. In addition to this, I shall expect of the Board
of Pardons to be appointed a careful investigation of all the facts surrounding the conviction and confinement of prisoners in the penitentiary in order that it may be definitely ascertained if any prisoner is being detained contrary to the laws of the land, or the rules of right and justice.
"While I shall adopt a most liberal policy in the matter of pardons, at the same time such pardoning powers are vested in the Governor will be exercised largely upon consideration of the physical condition and the record of convicts now confined in the penitentiary. I trust that applications for pardon will be based largely upon these causes rather than upon supposed political influence or loyalty in political campaigns. I suggest that the Legislature consider the passing of some law that will, as a matter of right, give an automatic reduction in sentences where the convict has made a good, efficient and obedient prisoner.
"The system is now having to buy its supplies on time, and there is quite a saving to be made by paying cash for its purchases. A saving of 25 per cent. can be effected. This system will need between now and the time the current crops begin to go to market at least $600,000. If this amount was available, a saving of 25 per cent. can be effected, or a total gain to the State of $150,000. This money can be obtained in one or two ways. Permission can be granted to the commission to execute a chattel mortgage upon its current crops and live stock or the Legislature can make an emergency appropriation.
"I submit this matter for your prompt as well as serious consideration in order that the saving may be made."
Stork Visits New
The stork visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Ward, 604 Orchard street, at 10.45 p. m., Friday, January 30, 1895, with a bouncing baby boy. The proud father named it Joseph, Jr. Both mother and baby are doing nicely. Mr. Joseph Ward, who is president of the New Haven division, No. 29 of the U. N. I. A., is an able worker and a staunch supporter of the division. We only hope that baby Joseph, Jr. will grow up with that same sense of duty to his race and take his place alongside his father for the Cause of Afric.

Congres de Avocats
Juristes Haitiens
Du Nouvelleisie
On nous communique:
Mardi soir 23 décembre s'est brillamment clôturé le Congrès, des Avocats et Juristes Haitiens, que les sceptiques—tout en reconnaissant noble et belle l'idée—avaient proclamé irrealisable.
C'est aujourd'hui un fait acquis à l'Histoire—qu'on le veuille ou non que le 15 décembre 1925, dans une modeste halle de la Rue du Quai, une treslaine d'avocts et juristes de divers points du pays, se sont réunis aux fins de discuter des questions les plus graves concernant la vitalité de la nation haïtienne. Il reste encore asquie que des comités ont été nommés pour étudier toutes les questions, portés dans un vaste programme prealablement bati à cet effet; que des rapports ont été soumis par ces comités à la discussion de l'Assemblée, qui a eu à les voler, les ayant reconnus en concordance avec ses idées. Il reste non moins acquis que le dit Congrès des Avocats et Juristes Haitiens a eu à engoyer à Me Hudicourt, un cablogramme pour lui donner mandat de le représenter au Congrès Scientifique de Lima, et que mardi au moment de sa clôture il a eu à voter une protestation au Gouvernement de Washington et au aux Chancelleries, sur la proposition de son préident.
La plus large publicité sera d'ailleurs ultérieurement donnée à tous ces actes du Congre des Avocats et Juristes, bâtiques.

Le président de l'académie nationale arabe a visité
Le Dr Habib Estefano, président de l'Académie Nationale Arabe de Damas, en visite à Port-au-Prince, a prononcé plusieurs conférences qui furent très goutées. Il a parle, notamment, du Continent américain et l'Avenir de la Civilisation.
Le Dr Estefano est un ancien délegue du Liban à la Conference de Versailles.

Il y a toujours intérêt à consulter l'Histoire; elle seule nous fait comprendre les événements qui se déroule devant nos yeux; elle seule nous fait comprendre comment nos malheurs procédent 'directement de nos fautes et de notre dédain de la parole de ceux qui pressentent suturement l'Avenir.—Roland de Marés.
Six heures à l'horloge. L'aube a fui d'un vol rapide et gracieux vers l'infini. La soleil apparaît à l'horizon; ses rayons dorés se jouent dans les branches des palmiers qui élèvent leurs têtes majestueuses et se perdent dans l'espace. Un peu plus loin, des peuplier balances par le vent, inclinent profondement les branches comme pour saluer le retour du soileil. La nature est plus belle que jamais, elle semble mieux parée et nous sourit gracieusement en un rayonnement plein de charme. Elle se réveille comme un enfant rafraichi par un saluteaire sommeil.
Le ciel est pur; un air frais emplit ma chambre et me caresse doucement les cheveux. Dans le parterre tapisse de verdure, des fleurs fraiches-écloses entr'ouvrent leurs corolles et exhalent au Join-leur si enivrant parfum. Les lis, les jasmins, les tulipes, les roses rivalisent de grate et nous captivent par leurs doux attraits.
Oh! qu'on est heureux à la campagne. Que c'est un spectacle charmant de voir les petits oiseaux quittant leur retraite pour s'élancer dans l'air avec des cris joyeux et touchants. Leurs chants montent au ciel comme une suave prière. ne bercent de leur douce harmonie et me plongent dans une profonde réverie.
Dans la plaine coule la rivière aux eaux cristallines qui vient se refléter l'image des arbres plantés sur la berge. L'eau suit son cours et va en serpentant jusqu'à perte de vue. Là-bas, la mer est calme; elle roule mollement ses belles vagues; vagues qui fascineraient le regard le plus indifférent. Le murmure continu des flots est comme ces délicieuses chansons que fredonment les mères près d'un herceau.
O Nature! tout en vous a une voix pour qui sait la comprendre; tout est amour et poésie pour le coeur que l'indifference n'a pas marqué de son secau.
Ah! que ne suis je poète. Que ne m'est il donné de chanté en des vers délicieux les douces emotions que me cause ce spectacle charmant. Je nie sens heureuse, si heureuse que je voudrais tout ma vie revive cet instant supreme ou pon être tressaille d'un bonheur infini.
Ce magnifique tableau m'a renuecé jusqu'au tréfond de lame. J'en-suis troublele, extasie au point d'oublier ces heures trop hâtives qui passent et m'appellent à la réalité.

SECCION, EN ESPAÑOL
El desarrollo comercial e industrial de la raza requiere activa cooperación—Exito del primer intento de nuestra corporación naviera—Ruta regular del negocio—Suscrímonos por un bono—No debemos dormirnos sobre los laureles alcanzados—Redoblemos nuestros esfuerzos en esta época propicia
Estamos altamente, satisfechos por haberse llevado a efecto de un modo eficiente, la adquisición por nuestra corporación naviera la Cruz Negra del primer vapor titulado Booker T. Washington, que a esta horas surca las aguas del Atlántico en dirección al mar. Caribe, completándose de esta mancra el itinerario fijado y llevando hacia los trópicos numerosos turistas de la raza, quiénes participaran de las delicias de aquel clima durante la presente estación invernal.
Tal realización ha cooperado directamente al fento de una nueva era que irremisiblemente ha de fortificar las relaciones sociales, económicas e industriales que deban existir entre hermanos de un mismo origen, persiguiendo un fin que reporte más consideración, más respeto, más responsabilidad y mayor avivamiento en el terreno psicológico, para el mejor entendido de la raza en el universo entero.
Nuestra organización ha establecido ahora una ruta regular de negocio entre los puertos de Norte America, las Antillas y Centro América, y su corporación naviera auxiliar por lo tanto necesita al presente de mas capital, para que su primera embarcación adquirida haga las travesias con éxito. Se necesita capital efectivo a la mayor brevedad para comprar el material impresindible, de manera que dicho buque pueda sin dificultad alguna recorrer su itinerario con un flete regular, y llevar a su bordo el pasaje de acuerdo con sus comodidades.
En posesión de este gran medio de transporte, no hay ninguna razón por la cual nosotros en esta parte del continente americano, no podamos enviar a la otra parte de nuestro pueblo en las Antillas y en la America Central los artículos que ellos consumen, en cantidades suficientes para equilibrar sus necesidades todas, no existiendo además razón alguna por la cual no podamos nosotros recibir de ellos la materia prima y otros productos propios de aquellos climas, los cuales son de uso y consumo en este país. Existe un oceano de posibilidades interpuesto entre nosotros como pueblo, y si nos hacemos cargo de la inmediata ventaja que ello nos ofrece, incuestionablemente llegaremos al éxito.
Es simplemente hacia ese fin por lo cual recurrimos al elemento pensante de la raza, en pos de su apoyo a la nueva corporación naviera, y financieramente de su mano protectora para poner en práctica el gran proyecto económico en el cual nuestra organización se halla empenada. Todo miembro de la raza en posición de hacerlo, debiera suscribirse con un préstamo a la corporación naviera en referencia, avudando de ese modo a levantar el capital suficiente para el sotenimiento de su primer barco, sin mencionar la gran posibilidad de asegurar otras unidades marítimas, como realización de una parte del proyecto de la organización. Luego de haber adelantado nuestro primer paso hacia el progreso económico de la raza, no hemos de dormirnos sobre los laureles alcanzados. Nuestra satisfacción no deberá estribar solamente en poscer el barco, sino que debemos tener éxito en administrar el mismo y adquirir otros con igual propósito. Ello puede llevarse a cabo facilmente con un cuerpo sólido de verdadero apoyo financiero.
Todo aquel elemento que desee bien para la raza en su desarrollo comercial e industrial, debera darse cuenta al presente del tamaño esfuerzo que se ha venido haciendo, para que nuestra enseña representativa de la raza ondee gallardamente sobre los mastiles de barcos nuestros, comandados por nosotros mismos, ejercitando nuestras propias energias y usando nuestra propia inteligencia, al igual que las otras armadas surcan victoriosas los altos nares, y respondan al llamamiento igualitario del esfuerzo de una humanidad, de un pueblo-sufrido, de una raza que aspira a tener un puesto decoroso y digno en toda la escala de civilización que demandan la circunstancias, en esta época evolutiva y de agigantamiento revolucionario.
Cuando se considera que solamente tres mil quinientos de nosotros hemos cooperado a la compra del vapor Booker T. Washington, podemos realizar y ver claramente que si nuestros grupos se organizasen entre si, podriamos materializar la idea de botar al agua un buque cada tres meses, hasta con todo exito fomentar una marina mercante de regular potencialidad, la cual llevara nuestro comercio de uno a otro lado del orbe. No solamente estariamos unidos con las Antillas, Centro y Sur America y todo el trópico, sino que podriamos unir con nosotros en estos Estados Unidos, las lejanas tierras y paises de la pródiga Africa y de la vetusta y poderras India Oriental.
Con el objeto de llevar a la práctica tales propósitos, necesitamos barcos inmediatamente; mas para la compra de los mismos y elostenimiento que ellos demanden, necesitamos financia. No debemos esperar por manana, la asumana próxima, el más extrante, o el año que esta por venir para que posigimos de nuestra parte; esta ns la época peoplea en la cual necesitamos de la cooperación de toda y he aquí el porque redoblamos nuestro esfuerzo de apilar directamente por esta causa, dada la necesidad que tiene la corporación movilera de recursos suficientes, para flevar a cabo tan habilidos novato.
La resolución presentada en el senado por el senador Copeland, de Nueva York, que se refiriera el tratado de la isla de Plnos a un comité compuesto por cinco senadores y con la amenaza del traslado de la estación naval y carbonera que tienen en Cuba los Estados Unidos a las islas Virgenes, atrajo una réplica del senador George Wharton Pepper de Pennsylvania.
Calificando la resolución de Copeland como un vistor de caceria al Caribe, hizo esta declaración exclusiva para *El Sol* de la Habana: La resolución trata dos materias distintas: muestras relaciones con Cuba y nuestra política naval. La primera cuestion fue tratada en el comité de relaciones exteriores, cuando se informo al senado sobre el tratado de la isla de Pinos. Mi esperanza y expectativa es que se ratifique el tratado. Sino se ratifica y se juzga descable consideración ulterior, el tratado debiera referirse al comité de relaciones exteriores, no a un nuevo organismo creado con ese objeto.
La otra cuestión es del conocimiento, del comité de asuntos mayales y no debiera referirse a ningún otro comité. La cuestión le la política naval concierre a la camaraaristica como al senado. El tratado se somete unicamente a la consideración del senado. Me parece que la resolución se ha redactado olvidando esta distinción. Temo que la adoption de la resolución conducera a confusión y retardo. No le doy mi voto. Los partidarios de la ratificación del tratado tienen condena en la victoria y pedirían una decision en esta sesión del congreso, continu del tratado es un punto de honor nacional y urgir porque se conserve tomando una potencia sobre el tratado. De todos modos, esta cuestión debiera decidirse sin más dilaciones.
Amabilizando la oposición al tratado, Pepper dijo: "La oposición es de tres clases. Primero, una oposición de buena fe de los senadores que creen que con la ratificación estamos arriviendo la bandera de los Estados Unidos de una de nuestras posiciones. Segundo, el deseo de algunos senadores de usar tacticas dilatatorias en la ratificación para imprimir la oposición de otra legislación que ellos no quieren. Tercero, hay un grupo de oposición que no tienen conocimiento de los hychos."

Cuando Dion O'Banion, pistolero, contrabandista de cerveza y asaltador de Chicago, murio el otro dia, muchasimos de sus asociados sigueron su cadaval en el más conducido funeral que Chicago ha presenciado jamás y seputaron su ataund entre montañas de flores. Fue muero airos por tres pistoleros cuando se hallaba en pie entre las rosas de su tienda de florista, detrás de cuya respectabilidad disfrazaba sus actividades.
Aunque se le habian negado los socorros de la iglesia a causa de su manera de vivir, fue sepultado en tierra consagrada. Pero una multitud de todo genero de personas asistió al funeral y veinte caniones fueron abarrotados de flores, incluyendo un gran coragón de rojas colina de claveles y rosas que llevaba esta tarjeta: A nuestro compañero, La pandilla.
A despecho de su discutible ocupación, fue sinceramente sentido por los que le conocian. Qué magnifico hombre para el bien de la sociedad habria sido O'Banion si hubiera estado entregado a una buena ocupación.
El informe del recaudador de fantas internas de Haiti revela un balance en efectivo de un million de dólares que se destina a la construcción de caninos y edificios públicos para escuelas. La prosperidad se detele alli a los precios del carte y a la administración del presupuesto, siendo el mes de diciembre el de más provechos, financieros que se conoce.

Los funcionarios de Washington dicenque los marinos norteamericanos se retiraran tan pronto como la gendarmeria haitiana, dirigida por oficiales norteamericanos se capaz de garantizar el orden, rehusandose a fijar la fecha de la retirada. En este orden de ideas, los functionarios agregan que la retirada de Santo Domingo y la prometida retirada de Nicaragua el proximo septiembre, son pruebas de la buena fe de este país.
Hallazgo antropológico
El hallaago en Africa de lo que se considera el cráneo del tan buscado eslabón entre el hombre y el mono es considerado por los antropólogos como uno de los más importantes descubrimientos desde que Darwin declaró su teoria de que el hombre descendía del mono. El cráneo fue desenterrado en Taungs, Bechuanaland, por el profesor Dart, de la expedición de la universidad de Witwatersrand. Se halla bajo cinquenta pies de piedra caliza.
Sir Arthur Keith, conocido antropólogo, comentando sobre el hallazgo dice: Yo creo que seria más correcto considerar este cráneo fosil uno de los tantos eslabones en vez de el buscado-eslabón. Después de todo, ringuna persona inteligente duda hoy que el hombre es el resultado de la evolución.
Contra el uso de armas
En esta era de violencia es imprerativo que sean puestas fuera del alcance de los criminales las armas, declara el gobierno de New Jersey en su mensaje annual. Cualquier ladrón, malhechor, o vagabundo, puede hacer, que se le envie un revolver por el correo o por express, y no se le dirige ninguna pregunta, con tal de que tenga el precio del pedido. El gobierno de New Jersey se comienda que se recuerde al congreso que ponga en vigencia una de prohibiendo el empleo del correo las empreas de express para tales fines. La ley Sullivan hace que los honrres honrados esten desarmados, mientras los criminales campan por la ciudad con armas ocultas, conocidos de vista por la policía, pero jamás registrados a menos que procedan en forma que produzca sospechas.
El gobernador Silzer tiene algo mas que decir que se refiere a la prevención de la comisión de deinitio que estran bajo la calificación de bandidaje. Según su opinion se modificaria el código en forma de eliminar sentencias por el tiempo maximo y el minimo. En lugar del plazo mínimo el gobernador propone la libertad por el tribunal de indulitos bajo recomendación hecha por la junta de Directores de la institution penal y el juez que sentencio al recluso. La experiencia nos ha sentenado, dice, que la ley de las sentencias al minimo y maximo periodo no es satisfactorio desde ningun punto de y no representa ninguna mepora desde el anterior sistema de determinar las sentencias. Puede decirse que el castigo está adecuado al delito cuando un malhechor, un rufiin atracador o un ladron, que ha disparado un tiro a su victima, tal vez a otos, puede salir de prision después de servir un plazo mínimo y atm menos de el com motivo de su buena conducta? Si se han de reprimir los delitos de violencia, los castigos deben ser severos, ciertos y uniformes.
El Africa del futuro
Un eminente geografio inglés ha declarado que el desierto de Sahara vendrá a ser la mayor estación de fuerza en el mundo, por medio de la utilización científica del calor de la arena, por lo cual conceptúa que el Africa tropical esta destinada a desempeñar un papel de gran importancia en el mundo del futuro. El científico manifesta además que Francia se está anticipando, haciéndo de su territorio del Sudán una Argentina en materia de ganadeía y un Egipto en materia de algodón.
Cambio de pena capital
El presidente Coolidge firmó una ley en que queda abolida la pena de la horca en el distrito de Columbia, capital de los Estados Unidos. En lo sucesivo las sentencias de muerto se levarián a cabo posición de electricitación, habiendo ya el congreso destinado la cantidad necesaria para la obtención de una lista sugerida.

What Is Truth? The Answer Should Be Plain Enough
It is the Opposite of Falsehood, of Error, but Just What These Are Also Puzzle the Wise Men
To the Editor of The Negro World: Truth is the source of all eternal realities, the origin of all that is high, divine, infinite. Absolute truth is immutable—the same yesterday, today and forever. He who teaches a doctrine that is absolutely true, proclaims an everlasting substantialism which rests upon the authority of God. But he who proclaims something that is destined to become obsolete, speaks of things merely—and not of the principle which holds them together in harmony. When Newton discovered the Law of
'LOST VIGOR RESTORED IN 24 HOURS'
"Glands Awakened in One Day" Is the Amazing Statement of a Seventy-six-Year-Old Veteran.
Lost vigor, deadened glands and nerves, and that weak, worn-out, depleted skin, be deadened any longer since the discovery of a well-known chemist. Now it is possible for those who feel "prematurely old" to become "rejuvenated" and regain the "vital force of youth" often in a day's time, with Mando Formula is the amazing treatment. This famous discovery is bringing "renewed youth," and "strength" to thousands where everything else had failed.
"I want to say that my 'less vigor' was restored and 'glands renewed in me,'" said Dr. K. of Kansas City, Mo. "Today I am 76, but I don't feel a day over 40. Before I started taking the treatment I felt I was an old, 'worn-out' than, but now I am enjoying a remarkable 'gland restoration' and am convinced my 'rejuvenation' is complete and permanent. May such a boon to humanity."
This wonderful formula, prepared by one of the largest laboratories in the world and generally known as Mando, will help you have a magic in its capability on people of all ages and sexes.
No matter how bad your condition, no matter what your age or occupation, no matter what you have tried, if you have a Mando formula you will see the force of youth" we are so confident Mando Formula will restore you that we offer to send a large $3.50 bottle for only $25 on 10 days free trial. If the results are not satisfactory and you are not used in every way, it costs you nothing.
Send no money—just your name and address to F. L. Carlin, 606 Baltimore Bldg. Kansas City, Mo., and the treator, according to the simple directions. If at the end of the 10 days you are not showing "wonderful improvement" and "rejuvenation," just send it back, and your money will be refunded without charge. So write today and give this "remarkable formula" a trial.

Scientist Makes Wonderful Discovery—Says No Man Under: 100 Years Should Feel Old
A new discovery is said to have been made by a scientific study of Serbian mountain people who, scientists say, live longer than any other people. It is said this discovery should add many years to lives of people in parts of the world and quickly restore mankind's creature vitality. Beauty lost by neglect or abuse Scientists trace that the secret of health and vigor lies in the internal glands and if these glands are stimulated and kept in normal activity man might live forever and alliments such as tired, worn-out feeling, weakness, nervousness, poor memory, premature security, sleepy neck, restless at night, pain, headache, hollow dependency, etc. should disappear.

Gravitation and psychimized it to the world, he did not set forth a private and peculiar thing; but an absolute immutable truth founded upon an eternal God. The question—What is truth? is the beginning, middle and end of all inquiry.
As the term is understood here it might seem that an Angela's mind could not furnish the answer, yet a simple and imprisonable definition appears ready to our hand so far as the world is concerned. The question is answered everywhere according to individual convictions, we must therefore on our part disbroke our mind of all preconceived opinions and remembering that while we may consult testimony to get at historical matters, perception for things external and reflection, for logical subjects we must interrogate intuition if we would be enlightened upon religious or moral concerns. intuition is the deepest source of truth, an innate power by which it is felt; in a word, it is the genius of the soul.
Let us realize in the first place that truth is always simple while falsehood is always complicated. The one is easy as the growth of flowers, but the other is dark and mysterious. Moreover, truth is not susceptible of limitation. That which was true yesterday cannot be merely probable today and only possible tomorrow. It is God-made and the man who gives it an expression, vocalizes the Celestial Life-Song of Delity. If this be correct, then the people have erred greatly in the use of language. We call it for example, a truth that yesterday was cold, but the statement may refer only to certain localities. It would be far more correct to designate all occasional or local occurrences as facts and to make use of the word truth only. In respect of that which is of broad, unchangeable and universal application.
In other words let us assign to truth a position far above individual minds and circumstances that it may be superior to everything but God. If we adopt this view we shall rise superior to all forms of sectarianism and pursue the golden pathway which leads the pilgrim eternally upward to the City of the Living God. And now regards the promised simple definition, let it be affirmed that truth is the universal relationship of things as they are; while error is the interpretation of things as they are not.
As things are, so God has unfolded them. He is author of the relationship between them and he is therefore the truth of this universal relationship. It matters not how much or little I know. If I comprehend the first principle which binds a piece of iron-ore together I know something of truth and no human authority can make it more true though a wiser man may lead me to further, truth in the same or in another and higher department of creation.
Now the question arises as to how we may know when we have the truth. The answer is to listen like a child to the subdued whisperings of that Soul which God has given us. No man

now we ask. Was the God of modern empires the God of ancient empires? Surely, He was. He is a never changing God, an everlasting God.

If you seek what is wonderful or mysterious, you do not seek truth. There are mylads of mysteries, but this is due solely to our ignorance of their nature and relationship. The great standard in that fact are things, while truths are principles. Things exist, and their right relation one to another is based upon and is the truth. From such relation the music of harmony issues perpetually. Discord issues from error because the relation is wrong. Be well to this doctrine of truth in all departments of existence and remember that now is the time for us to think, feel and do right. By putting off till tomorrow you defraud yourself of immediate happiness and do a similar injury to the neighbor. Let your understanding expand and thus obtain reasons for inward hope. Remember always, that marvels confound and simplify the intellect, while principles are certain to dignify the whole nature of man.

Every Race Must Carve
Out Its Own Destiny
To the Editor of The Negro World:
Our slave masters simply grew tired of the burdens of their responsibilities, so they civilized, educated, and Christianized us, then turned us loose to fight our own battles of life against a world of hatred, prejudice, ostracism, segregation, incrimination, disenfranchishment, misrepresentations and lynching, that has arrayed itself against us. The chisel of destiny is now in our own hands and unless we follow unwiserly those who are best fitted to do, the carving we shall perish on the new
The Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, under the leadership of the greatest master the Ethiopian race has yet produced, has undertaken this task. Under its leadership we are on the march, but, on the road we find obstacles, around the hills we encounter barriers and the mountain peaks are paralleled with the deep blue skys. It seems as though we shall never be able to reach the promised land, nineteenth of which is yet in the hands and under the control of our ancient slave masters, who have freed us but cannot see their way to free our country.
The situation is bad, but we are not hopeless. History, it is recorded, repeats itself—China, Castage, Babylon, Asyria, Macedonia, Greece, Spain, Rome and Germany were all great and mighty empires. One by one in their turn they had prayed to the Great Almighty God for wisdom, might and power. One by one in their turn their prayers were answered by the Great Alpha and Omega. One by one in their turn with their wisdom, might and power they treated their less fortunate brothers of the human family as beasts, brutes who had no understanding. One by one in their turn, they passed out of the realm of wisdom, might and power and went down by the road of transgressors—the road of destruction and death.

Native Africans Cannot Survive White Man Rule
To the Editor of the Negro World:
Please allow me space in your
most valuable paper. I am a British
subject. What I get out of it I don't
know. The white man has doneto
many bad things to our people. We
shall never forget the tragedy of Bullhock, the massacre of Bondzwarl. Oh, their deeds are beyond my capacity.
Thank God a man was born with a farseeing eye by the name of Marcus Garvey, who discovered all this ill donging of the white man. His voice has gone throughout the four corners of the world. That's the kind of man we want—not with a wishbone heat with a backbone. What is good for the white man is good for the black man, too. We have hid our civilization for over two hundred and fifty years; it's about time for the black man to produce it now. Ourn wouldn't be like theirs. I am sure. Under the present white man rule we can not exist. Something must be done to get out of the hands of the expolitors.... NATHANIEL NTENGO, Cape Town, South Africa.

BORDER UNION LODGE
No. 8 of 1. U. O. M. Helio Annual Ban- auet
We were extended an invitation by the officers of the Border Union Lodge to attend their first annual banquet, which was held last Thursday evening. February 6, at the Imperial Elks' Auditorium, 160 West 129th street. Brother E. T. Henry acted as master of ceremonies, and he really acted the part. A brother sitting next to me made mention of the fact, that whenever, generating power was needed, Brother Henry was harnessed up to supply some.
After Brother Henry had introduced the Moses, in the person of Brother Dunbar, and the Joshua of Border Union Lodge in the person of Brother Thomas Belgrave, whom we learned was the most active member in the lodge, came the occasion of the evening. The speaker, who was to sharpen up the appetites of those seated at the gorgeous layout of tables, which accommodated close to 250 persons, was presented in the person of Bishop McGuire, who needed no introduction, because he is so widely known, and believe me, he sure did raise an appetite for those who were to be banqueted. Durfing his remarks he carried his listeners' way down. South and seated them at a table of one of those real Southern cooks, who surely knows how to cook, and he said he could see how this cook was preparing a nice boiled dinner for her guest, the dinner consisting of some sweet cabbage, boiled potatoes placed all around the dish, and a nice big juicy piece of pork in the centre, floating in its own grease. He had his hearers so worked up for a good meal that when he filled his former sentence by saying "floating in its own grease," one brother got up and said, "Um, bring on the chicken before I loose my appetite."
After the meal was served, which was an enjoyable one, the guests were ushered to the ballroom, where there was a wonderful band of music ready to furnish them with sweet strains of jazz so that they would be able to wind up the occasion in an enjoyable mood. Before closing, I would like to say that I have never witnessed such friendship and brotherly love among a group of people before. Everybody there seemed to belong to one great, big family. This helped to make the evening well spent.
