HON. MARCUS GARVEY CHEERFUL IN PRISON AS THE GREAT ORGANIZATION WHICH HE FOUNDED ACHIEVES NEW SUCCESSES
The Hon. Marcus Garvey sends greeting to the Negroes of the world and reiterates that he is greatly cheered by the good news he is receiving of the splendid manner in which the membership, sympathizers and friends are rallying to the support of the program and principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
Always confident that the morale of the vast membership cannot be broken by the machinations of a treacherous and self-centered band of Negroes, he rejoices in his prison cell that his suffering has created new and friendly interest in the organization on the part of many who heretofore were indifferent and deaf to the cry of our oppressed millions for true liberty and life and a redeemed Africa.
He submits the following extract from a recent writing for the thoughtful consideration of the race:
Rich and Poor
Who thinks of the poor but the poor? The rich and self-satisfied are too busily engaged in the enjoyment of their own pleasures, and the patronage of their own class, to halt to any great extent to give the underdogs of human society a thought that would help them rise above their condition. The missionary work that is being done to lift the unfortunate to the height of a new social order is surrounded with hypocrisy and professionalism; hence, its usefulness is not seen or felt among those to be served.
As in the struggle to lift the unfortunate poor we have no real, honest effort; so, in the struggle of race to find a place in the affairs of the world, we get very little, if any, sympathy and encouragement from the progressive and successful.
The Selfish Desire Stagnation
There is a vast difference between the white and black races. The two are at extremes. One is dazzlingly prosperous and progressive, the other is abjectly poor and backward. The fight is to lift the backward and non-progressive to the common standard of progress and civilization; but, apparently, no appreciable number of the prosperous and progressive desire this change. The selfishness of class and monopoly of standing seem to dictate a prejudice of race that creates a barrier to the accepted Christian belief that all men are brothers and God is our mother.

a calling. Some of us are called to be preachers, ministers of the gospel, politicians, statesmen, industrialists, teachers, philosophers, laborers and reformers. To the reformer, above all, falls the duty or obligation of improving human society, not to the good of the selfish few, but to the benefit of the greatest number.
Persecution of Reformers
The history of the world and of the human race tells us the story of the reformer, of his trials, persecution and suffering in his efforts to reach the heart of man, in creating there a common sympathy for his brother. If it is not a Christ, it was a St. Augustine, a Luther, or a Caesar, Alfred the Great, Garibaldi, Lincoln, or a MacSwiney; but all down the line of human progress we have met the man ready to suffer and to die to make others free while a lighthearted, selfish populace laughs at him and passes by his effort.
Twentieth century humanity and civilization have not changed much, except to their discredit, since the time of Christ, Caesar and Lincoln. Christ sought to help and save a world of human souls and His fellows nailed Him to a cross; Caesar, in the fullness of his human love and his patriotism to Rome, fought for the elevation of his countrymen and the ascendency of his country, but there was one to strike him even to the fall at the base of Pompey's statue; Lincoln, as stated, had a burning love for all humanity, not desiring to see half slave and half free, but all free, for the practice of which love he was shot by an assassin, and, withal, we have not gone far in solving the peace of the world.

toward the universal pit of destruction; and that is why we need reformers now, those who are not afraid to suffer and die for a cause; men, despite the opposition of an organized social system, of a malicious and malignant school of oppression, who will stand up for the good of the larger humanity and tell the world of its mistakes and blunders.
And it is here that we must call the attention of the white race to the wrong and injury that they are inflicting upon the rest of the world. It is all well for those who revel in their immediate power to turn a deaf ear to the cries of the suffering races, to oppress, exploit, and even murder them, but what of the consequence?
We live not by ourselves. It is either Providence, God, the First Cause or Nature—any one you wish to call it—that will call us to our judgment, not so much in the world to come as in the retribution of our own lives; and when that time comes what will the white, once powerful and oppressive race say, if another should be lifted to power and supported there by the Graces of Divine Authority?
Revenge Leads Only to Destruction
History, religious and profane, have so many beautiful lessons to teach that none of us should doubt the wonders of God or Nature. In the one age or period, the one race or people rule and triumph, while the other stalks under the heel of oppression—the Jews in Egypt, the Britons in Rome, the Negroes in America—to say nothing of the rest of Europe and Asia who have had similar experiences. But what do we gather therefrom but the spirit of revenge, a spirit that has traveled up to the twentieth century, and which seems to be the guiding force of human destruction?
Why we have not gone farther in our civilization is because we are still fearful and suspicious of each other. We have done each other so much wrongs and inflicted so many injuries and injustices that we are just afraid to loosen up, believing that the other fellow's time will come. It is natural, because of sin, for the robber to protect his loot; so do we find reason for even the powerful of races still to crush and grind the less fortunate. The murderer has to continue murdering so as to protect his own life, but generally there is a hangman; so in the eternal fitness of things all human power hath an end, today for me, tomorrow for thee.

HON. MARCUS GARVEY TAUGHT ALL MEN ARE EQUAL
MARCUS GARVEY'S CROWNING CRIME AS SEEN BY THE CAMERAMAN OF THE "COLORFUL NEWS 'MOVIES'"
Anonymous Scribbler Is Enraged Because Marcus Garvey Compels Him to Think of Africa, the Land of His Fathers—Hoping to Gain Immortality, He Declares Great Leader Taught That Negroes Were an Inferior People!
One of the greatest enemies that Marcus Garvey, or the Universal Negro Improvement Association, or the struggling Negro race has, to face is the irresponsible, hypocritical, malignant scribbler who for a few paltry dollars received as subscription from Negro newspapers plants his puerile stuff upon an all-enduring public. I refer to some of the countless Negro news service "operators" who, having fallen in the real estate business in New York, or sated with the doubtful, anxious joys of the impecunious men-about-town on State street, Chicago, or, arrived at the realization that being sanitor of a government office, building in Washington and being a Cabinet Minister are not exactly on par, have recourse to the Negro Press, fertile field, in its virgin condition, for their perilous rubbish.
The Negro Press of this country is of course, to be congratulated upon the splendid program it has made in spite of the manifest disabilities under which it labors. But the more carefully one peruses the columns of very many Negro newspapers and takes stock of the stuff that passes for sane and trustworthy contributions the more is one inclined to liken those newspapers' condition to that of a youngster bent on taking holy orders but forced to mingle with a cabaret crowd which is charged with his maintenance and support and with furnishing the whisperwish to put him through college. The Negro Press is making rapid strides, but even more marked would be its progress were it not blinded and hampered and reproduced by the image attentions of these fourth estate adventurers." And if you don't believe me, analyse the mooshine nerved up weekly by the "Cameraman" in his "Colorful News Movies."
'LOST VIGOR RESTORED IN 24 HOURS'
"Gian's Renewed in One Day" is the Amazing Statement of a 76-Year-Old Velloran
Loet vigor, deadened glands and nerves, and that weak, without, depressed and half-alive feeling need not be dreaded any longer since the discovery of the body. In. 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 statement of one who has been the treatment. This bonus discovered is bringing "renewed youth" and "strength" to thousands where everything else had failed.
"I want to say that my lost vigor was retested and "glands renewed" in twenty-four hours," says I. J. B. "Peak of Kansas City. Mo Today is the 76, but does feel a day over 49. Before I started taking the treatment I felt I was an old, worn-out man; but now I am enjoying a remarkable gland; restorations and am convinced my rejuvenation is complete and permanent. May God's blessing test on the discoverer of such a book to humanity."
This wonderful formula, prepared by one of the largest laboratories in the world and generally known as Mando, is easily used at home and seems to 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 or a lack of learning in "vigor" and the "vital force of youth" we are no condment Mande Formula will restore you that we offer to send a large $1.50 bottle for only $1.95 on 14 days' trial. If the results are not satisfactory and you are not more than planned in every way, it needs you nothing.
Thank me to P. P. Gartin, 864 Baltimore, Bldg., Kansas City, Mo., and the treatment will be mailed at news. Simply say postman plus postman on arrival. Use it, according to simple directions. If at the end of 14 days you are not chewing "wonderful" improvement and rejuvenation. Just make it out and your money will be for you. With a good question. This offer is fully guaranteed, so verify today and give this remarkable formula a sign.
A few Negro newspapers, particularly in the South, use this gentleman's "movies" as editorials. A few other wise reputable journalists chirlk his staff from bold headlines. Where Arthur Brisbane holds footh in the. Hearst publications from such a point of vantage the nameless, illustrious "cameraman" preaches to his public.
Marcus Garvey is in prison. The thing has happened. Newspaper men are busy, and, for the most part, they function as expected. Viftes which a month ago they would have frantically demolied Garvey possessed are now naively admitted to have reposed within him all the time. "Marcus Garvey is honest," they blame, "we know it all the time." "Just a little too much ego." "Success rushed to his head, don't you know?" "He is on a par with Christ, with Luther, with Gandhi, with John Brown." "Come to think of it, his humiliation is ours." "And in he really guilty of crime?" "He is a martyr." And so on, and so on. But hear what our "Cameraman" has to say:
"A portion of Mr. Garvey's program, however, was even more dangerous and a greater menace to the aspiring Negroes of America than was the offense for which the coutha have sent him into confinement. That portion related to Mr. Garvey's cringing estimate of his own people. His estimate of them was that they were an inferior people, unit to mingle with men as man, and unable to comprehend the fullness of American freedom. It was his aim that they should be forever aggrated from the society of the world and unto themselves develop a land, of which for generations back the Negro people of America knew nothing."
Was anything more audacious and brazen ever penned? Even after Marcus Garvey is in prison, our "Cameraman," unlike his penitent brethren, must continue to misrepresent and to vilify the man and to deceive the public. But few thinking Negroes will be deceived. As a matter of fact this latest disgrant futility on the part of the "Cameraman" should serve to make him universally accepted as the joke he has been a long time to the discerning. Mr. Garvey cringing! Is the man deaf and blind? If Garvey cringes, if Garvey has a cringing estimate of his people, if Garvey believed that Negroes are an inferior people, then the great Booker T. Washington, the illustrious Frederick Douglass and the brilliant Toussaint L'Ouverture were american worm. Why, Garvey's most-frenzied critics admit that he has done more to strengthen the Negro's backbone and make him realize that he is of God than all the rest of the Negro leaders put together.
But the "Cameraman" is also shame-
less. He has a grievance against
Garvey because Africa of which Gar-
vey spoke, and whose development he
worked and planned for, was unknown
for generations back to the Negro
people of America. Heavens, man,
this is the Negro's shame. Think of
an Irishman being aggrieved because
someone tries to instill into the mind
of his little boy, who happened to be
born in America or Japan, love of
Ireland. Wake up, Mr. Cameraman,
and know yourself. If the Japanese
are segregated, if the Chinese are
segregated, if the Indians are seg-
regated, if the French and the Germans
and the English are segregated from
the society of the world, then it is this
segregation, which those peoples so
much love and fight for, that Garvey
desires for Negroes. Don't blame, but
praise Garvey for having excited you
an interest in the land where the
ashes of your ancestors lie.

Cites American Restrictions in Effort to Save the Dear Nordics From Being Overwhelmed and Amalgamated
From the New York Sun
LONDON, Feb. 12.—In declaring in the House of Commons last night that Britain's historic policy of extending the right of asylum to oppressed and persecuted minors not be abused, Sir William Johnson Hicks, Home Secretary, asserted that Britain's restrictions on alliens are not as severe as those of the United States.
"America," he said, "makes much more stringent regulations regarding the admission of alliens, and is quite entitled to make them. We also are entitled as a sovereign country to maintain the sovereignty of our own shores."
Sir William, indicating how closely the net is now drawn at all ports of entry to the United Kingdom, said that no attempt is being made to hinder tourists, of whom 268,000 came to England last year, including 116,000 Americans. He added: "We do not want to make restrictions to prevent, their coming here. It is equally obvious that we do not want to make restrictions to prevent people coming here on legitimate business." Referring to the Government's attitude regarding 900 Russians concentrated at Southampton awaiting an opportunity to go to America, Sir William said he had been asked to let them reside here, and declared: "Two hundred of them were to have gone over to America last year. Under no circumstances will I permit these, unfortunate people to be absorbed into our population."
"They are a class of people who come from Eastern Europe and we do not want them. America doesn't want them either."
Riffraff and Stiffs
William Greene. Tory member, in making a plea for rigid restrictions, asserted that the whole racial type in the United States has been tremendously altered In the last 50 or 160 years by unrestricted immigration, and that the Nordic type consequently has been greatly changed. Insisting that racial contamination should be prevented here, he said: "The riffraff of Eastern Europe, the stiffs of the Mediterranean and the dead beats of the world should be barred from Britain."
BILLS GIVING WOMEN EQUALITY BEFORE LAW IN N. Y. STATE LEGISLATURE
ALBANY, N. Y.-Woman's fight for recognition as the equal of man again occupies the attention of New York State Legislators.
The long struggle for equality before the law has been advanced another step through bill introduced by Senator Senbury C. Mastick, and women's organizations of the State are marshaling their forces to put them in the statute books.
One of the bills relating to actions for damages by or against a woman, is designed to make a woman solely responsible for "all civil injuries committed by her, unless her husband would be jointly responsible if they had not been married." This measure would also entitle a woman to recover entire damages for injuries to her and would not permit her husband, as at present, to sue for the loss of her society, services or carriage.
Prohibition of disgustion because of sex would be provided by another bill amending the education law and aimed to benefit women teachers. It would make it impossible for a board of education to disgust a woman because of her sex.
A proposed consequence of the American response has raised fears of a child and teen death equally linked to the entire average and questionable. Higher the program key, the lower is placed in the profile and presence of his child in the number of the question.
A detailed assessment of the program key has challenged the view that the program key is a necessary element in the overall response to the question.
I have appointed and requested GARVEY, to receive donations to and Protection Fund, of which to disburse same for my health are to be sent to Jacques-Garvey New, York City. (signed) MARCUS GARVEY. 7, 1925.
ASIA FOR THE ASIATICS HAS EUROPE QUAKING
The Russo-Japanese Aims to Drive Americans, British and French Out of Asia—New Scare for the Nordics
From the New York "Times"
BERLIN, Feb. 13.—The recently concluded treaty between Russia and Japan not only is less innocuous than formerly supposed here but it is now regarded as inaugurating new political developments which will affect the whole world as well as the Far East, according to information gleaned by the Berlin Lokal Anselger "From a well-informed source which herutofure has proved dependable."
It was announced when the treaty was concluded that its appendix would not be published. This appendix, according to the Lokal Anselger's informant, provides the following:
"If America, England or France undertakes military operations against the Central Chinese Government at Peking, or against any Chinese territory, Russia will hold 200,000 troops at China's disposal. These troops will be armed, equipped and provisioned by Japan.
"Russia surrenders 50 per cent. of her claims to the Eastern Chinese Railways."
"The entire Island of Sakhalina, including also the northern part, deverts to Japanese ownership after five years, provided that Japan shall in the meanwhile have furnished Russia with four small cruisers, one large battleship, thirty submarines and seven destroyers, which are all to be built in Japanese shipyards. Russia, however, reserves the right to demand sufficient oil from the Sakhalina walks for the needs of her navy.
"Japan will co-operate in making Vladivostok a naval base of the first class. Japan grants to Russia a credit for 60 per cent of the cost of creating this base.
"An equal number of Russians and Japanese officers are to undertake to train the Chinese army, which is to have a peace strength of 800,000 men. China obligates herself to buy weapons, munitions and all other military equipment from Japan and Russia - 75 per cent. From Japan and 25 per cent. from Russia."
The whole treaty, according to the
Lokal Anzeigler's informant, is directed
against England, America and France,
and is in effect an Anzialic alliance
against those powers. The aim of this
alliance appears to be the driving out
of these three Occidental powers not
only from China but also from all
Asia.
MOVEMENT TO MAKE
CANADA ALL WHITE
From The Vancouver (B.C.) Star
From The Advertiser
Thirty societies united under the banner of an "All White Canada" hot night and began a drive for the excursion, of Orientals and Negroes. Popular subscription is one method of raising money for a Dominion-wide campaign which a special committee on money matters will consider. Each of thirty societies represented at a meeting called by the Native States of Canada is on the general committee, which will lay plans for a continuous campaign. It will report back to a general meeting March 1.
B. E. Johnston and R. K. Bjord, chairman and secretary of the committee which organised the "All White" convention, held the same day on the new organization which will name light at the next general competition. J. Williams was second vice chairman. An effort will be made to have Maxime Nellson, president of the Ballet Marchee Association, set up higher of the summer committee.

YOU CAN FETTER THE BODY BUT NOT THE SPIRIT
Every Great Cause Has Had Its Martyrs, These Who Died or Were Jailed That Others Might Have More Abundant Freedom
To the Editor of The Negro World:
Kindly allow me a little space in your valuable paper to say a few words in praise of the conduct of our great leader in this hour of his greatest test. Never has there been a greater advocate safely righteousness since the death of Christ and Paul than this man. The real test of a true preacher of righteousness is not in his eloquence, not in his intellectual grasp of theological truths, not given in his ability to win multitudes to the cause he represents, but in his willfulness and readiness to suffer, with the calmness and coolness of a Christian, the affronts and indignities and humiliations and rancor that may mercilessly be heaped upon him for the sake of his cause.
It is this very fact that makes Jesus and Paul stand out as the two greatest preachers of truth the world has ever known, because they suffer most. It is this that makes Marcus Carry stand out today head and shoulders above every living man, regardless of race, caste, creed or color. He stands out in bold relief as a Christian, a patriot, a hero, a man of superhuman powers of mind, heart and spirit. Where can another man be found in this whole world who has suffered as much as GaFey for a just and righteous cause? He cannot be found. Yet, not once have we ever heard a doleful note from him. Nothing can break his heart. He is most cheerful in his darkest hour.
God Almighty has chosen 'Marcus Garvey for this very purpose.' To interpret the meaning of the crown and the resurrection of Jesus to the Goddess world, God chose Saul of Tarsu. Upon giving Saul his great commission, the glorified Jesus said to His servant, "I will show him how great things he might suffer for My name's sake." To a similar suffering Garvey has been called. His message, Saul's, is a message of deliverance, a deliverance of 400,000,000 Negroes from the iron heel of oppression, from economic servitude, from mass ignorance, from self-depreciation and social degradation, into the full liberty of sons of God. This is Garvey's message to his oppressed race.
Let the white world take notice that the two most outstanding leaders of the world today, Garvey and Gandh, who represent the two largest groups of oppressed peoples of the world, are giving to the world a new type of leadership, leadership based upon righteousness and justice and truth—a type of leadership that has never been defeated, since the birth of time. These two men are proving to the world that civilization consists not in armies and navies and poisonous gas and airplanes, but in righteous government, in respect for the rights of others, in merciful service to the weak and defenseless, to the poor, the needy, the untouchables and the damned. A man in civilized, a nation in civilized when he or it does these things that these two men advocate. Let the world know how it treats these two strange figures in world politics. They are God's mobsters, warning a world staged in materialism that nothing unrightful and untrue and unnatural can survive, though for a time it may flourish in great power and spread itself like a green hay jeep, it will soon pass away; it will be sought and cannot be found, because only that which is righteous and true and real is permanent.

Suggest Garvey's Last Picture Be Used as a Reminder of Sacrifice
BY ROWLAND THOMAS
In The New York World
"Consider the Moroccan," remarked Mr. Davis. "He votes not. Neither does he pay income, taxes. Yet was ever Solomon, in all his glory, equally master of his own soul."
To the Editor of The Negro World:
A few days ago the newspapers throughout the land were emblazoned with pictures of the Honorable Marous Garvey handcuffed to two officers of the law. This, I presume, was done with the vicious view of disgracing Mr. Garvey in the eyes of his followers, and to demoralize them at the same time, and, as a grand finale, the destruction of the U. N. I. A.
I wish to suggest, dear Mrs. Garvey, that the request of Mr. Garvey that these pictures be cut out and hung on our walls as a silent reminder for future generations of the races' humiliation in the year 1925 be extended a little further.
Instead of each follower or well-wisher cutting and preserving these newspaper pictures, why not see to it that some good pictures are taken of this noble man in his martyrdom and have them disseminated among the members and friends of the various divisions throughout this and other hands at a fixed price, and apply the result of these sales to the Marcus Garvey Freedom and Protection Fund? I am sure that I express the sentiment of every member and well-wisher of the U. N. I. A. and every well-thinking Negro who has the smallest spark of race pride in him when I say that the picture of the Honorable Marcus Garvey depicting him handcuffed between two officers should and must be preserved as an everlasting tablet to unborn generations in token of his unselfish sacrifice and suffering for the oppressed members of his race.
We, his followers and well-wishers, desire to convert his poeming disgrace into honor. We are determined to make Garvey's enemies realise that they cannot and will not exposed in destroying his great worth and value in the eyes of his loyal followers and supporters. We will make them realize that their pains and efforts will only serve and help to cement and blind us in a closer bond of unity and to strengthen and revivify our determination to travel the road that Mr. Garvey points out to us. Yes, let us buy pictures of Marcus. Garvey in hand-cuffs and honor him for his great sacrifice. Let us dignify the intended disgrace.

BERNE, Switzerland, Jan. 21.—A little patrol of nine French Moroccan colored soldiers marching across the country near Basel yesterday created alarm among the Swiss country folk and police from a number of villages were hurriedly summoned to surround the troop and arrest them. The soldiers, who were very tired, expressed bewilderment at being detained. They said they had found the weather too cold in the French barracks near Strasbourg and had decided to start southward in hopes of reaching their warm African homes.

"Consider the Moroccan," remarked Mr. Daya. "He votes not. Neither does he pay income taxes. Yet was ever Solomon, in all his glory, equally master of his soul." The recent candidate for the Presidency, of these United States was speaking for publication only because courtesy demanded such speech. From the tour of foreign lands in which he sought recreation and reorientation last fall he had returned emotionally round. Any urge of the exhibitionism which makes people grant newspaper interviews or buy luxurious cars had more than been satisfied by the personal exploitation of the Presidential campaign. The oracular complex, which is the other common drawback of the human gift of speech, was equally dormant.
"I must refuse," he began depreciating, to talk of politics. And I should decline, with all due thanks, the opportunity to talk about anything, particularly as I do not feel I have anything opportune to talk of. But if I were to talk, it would be about, Morocco. There is the most intercaring thing, to me, of all I saw while abroad."

The wooden plough still built on lines as revolutionary 1,000 years ago as they are now—the arts and handicrafts guarded and handed down jealously from pre-industrial days when it was a real personal distinction to be able to write, beautiful, flowing Arabic, or forge a sword blade, or make a good pair of shoes—the buzar streets still segregated to the use of allversmiths, goldmiths, blacksmiths or perfumers, these things had waked and satisfied a yearning for color—a suddenly keen sense of the richly variegated pattern into which mankind contrives to weave the web and wool of its basically uniform existence.
And the thought of the Moorish renaissance—or Moorish interregnum—the frequency of Otello's lean-minded, sagitt-minded lot—had given pliant background. There in Morocco Mr.
YOUNG BLOOD
"I am near 60 years, but I feel as young as I did at 30. I take a cupful of Bulgarian Tea once or twice a week. It keeps me healthy and strong and makes me feel young again," said H. H. Von Schlick, manufacturer of Bulgarian Herb Tea, nature's great tonic to improve the blood. Bulgarian Tea contains just the right kind of roots, barks, plants, flowers and herbs to make anyone feel 10 to 30 years younger when taken once or twice a week.
Yes, sir, you can develop into a strong, powerful vigorous, man when you get rid of the poisons that keep you in its down and out class. And ample culinary skills cut and class by using Bulgarian Herb Tea.
Why there is just millions of people who will use no other medicine or tonic. They know what Bulgarian Herb Tea does for them—how it improves health. And another important fact is that just right now in this winter weather, Bulgarian Herb Tea will break up a cold quicker than any other Remedy that I know of. Just brew a cupful and take it steaming hot—that's all. And ask your drugstress for my genuine Bulgarian Herb Tea in the red and yellow box, 75c and 81.35. And remember Bulgarian Herb Tea is put up in tablets also. Just ask your drugstress for Bulgarian Herb Tablets. Don't take any. And ask your Herb Tea or Bulgarian Herb Tablets if you want health, beauty and vigor.

MEMBERS SHOWING THEIR PRESENCE IN LARGE NUMBERS, THAT U. N. L. A. IS ON FIRM FOOTING—THE REMOVAL OF MARCUS GARVEY HAS CAUSED HIS FOLLOWERS TO BE MORE DETERMINED IN PUTTING OVER THE PROGRAM—ALL THE DIVISIONS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY AND THE WORLD SEND CHEERING MESSAGES OF INCREASE IN MEMBERSHIP
Garvey Sends Greetings to Liberty Hall From Prison—Is in the Best of Spirits and Perfectly Resigned to His Fate—Is Cheered by News of Loyalty of the Members—Bids Them Carry On in Spite of Everything
NEXT SUNDAY TO BE OBSERVED AS GARVEY DAY THROUGHOUT ALL THE DIVISIONS—COMMEMORATION EXERCISES TO BE CONDUCTED IN HONOR OF ABSENT-LEADER
LIBERTY HALL, NEW YORK, Sunday Night, Feb. 22. Again tonight Liberty Hall was packed with a huge gathering of the faithful followers of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, who, coming from far and near and rallying to the organization as they never have before, are proving to the world that the principles that have brought them together into an organization that has for its purpose the uplift of a race cannot be defeated, even though its leader be taken from their midst. If anything, the incarceration of the Hon. Marquis Garvey has strengthened the ties that bind the members together and made them more fixed in their determination that the organization shall not go down, but that, despite all opposition, it will go on and on until its program is put over. If numbers mean anything, then the Universal Negro Improvement Association is here to stay, for from all the divisions throughout the country and the world come the assuring message that the membership is standing firm and increasing day by day.
The meeting tonight was full of enthusiasm, and the members were as liberal as ever in their contributions for the carrying on of the work, both of the organization and of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Conipany, which is responsible for the steamship Booker T. Washington that is now at sea plying in West Indian waters.
Hon. G. A. Weston, vice-president of the New York local, presided as master of ceremonies, and among the executive officers present were Hon. William Sherrill, Second Assistant President-General; Hon. Clifford S. Bourne, Chancellor, and Hon. Percival L. Burrows, Assistant Secretary-General. An excellent musical program was rendered by the choir and the band, after which speeches were delivered by Captain King, head of the Juvenile Cadet Corps; Messrs. Sherrill and Burrows and Mrs. Amy Jacques-Garvey. Captain-King made a strong and intelligent appeal to the fathers, mothers and guardians among the members to permit their boys and girls to join the Juvenile Corps, at the same time explaining the great service that the corps is rendering in schooling the younger generation in the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and infusing into them the spirit of race pride that will in the years to come be instrumental in helping to put over the program of the organization.
Mr. Burrows in a brief speech, informed the audience that, in his capacity as Assistant Secretary-General, he was daily receiving communications from the divisions of the organization scattered throughout the world telling of the undying loyalty and devotion of the members to the cause, and that no fears were entertained of the success of the movement.
Mr. Sherrill made a frank explanation of the condition of affairs as it affected the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company and the steamship Booker T. Washington, and informed the audience of the plans which the Committee of Management had formulated with a view to protecting the interests of the bondholders and enabling them to receive returns on the money they had loaned for the purpose of putting over the steamship proposition.
Mrs. Garvey, in her address, delivered the message that brought cheer to the hearts of all present, namely, that on the previous day she had received a letter from Hon. Marcus Garvey, in which he stated that he was in the best of spirits, was perfectly resigned to his fate, and requested the members to have no fears for him, as he was not in the

among the membership to permit their children to become members of the Juvenile Cadet Corps. The Juvenile Corps, he said, was the only institution of its kind among the race in New York City and State and was inculcating into the minds of Negro-boys and girls those principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Anz that would enable them as they grew up to take an active part in the fulfillment of the program of the organization. In addition to training the younger generation along lines of proper physical development, the Juvenile Corps undertook to educate the boys and girls to the point where they will not only know of great men of other races who have played a prominent part in the affairs of the world but of Negro men who have accomplished great things for the race and whose names will go down in history among those that have wrought good for humanity.

speaker. He called attention to the many statements that were being published in various newspapers, regarding the incarceration of Marcus Garvey, which in his opinion were meant to intimidate the members of the organisation. But, said he, Marcus Garvey is bigger than anything that can happen to him, because he is in dead earnest and therefore not afraid of any consequences. When Marcus Garvey started the Universal Negro Improvement Again and became its leader he realized that he would have to pay the penalty of leadership. He realized that leadership called for pain, the shedding of blood and even death, and those among the organization who followed Marcus Garvey in the truest sense and those who are leading the organization in his absence have also inade up their minds to suffer pain, to shed their blood and to even meet death if necessary in order that the principles which have been laid down by the founder of the organization may be brought to fruition.
Movement is Gaining Strength Tonight: talk the speaker, the Universal Negro Improvement Assn throughout the world is gaining strength. From the communications that have come into headquarters during the past few weeks, it has been found that the members are more determined than ever; they have pledged their undying loyalty and devotion to the cause, to its leaders and to the principles that he has given to the world. He (the speaker) wanted the members therefore to realize that nothing the critics and enemies may do to hamper the organization can have any effect on it but the organization will go on until its program shall have been accomplished. Let us realize therefore, he said, that the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Assn will go unchanged and that its members are more determined than ever to support the cause until the program is put over.
HON. WILLIAM SHERRILL SPEAKS
Hon. William Sherrill spoke as follows:
As I sat here looking over this tremendous crowd tonight the thought occurred to me what a mighty pulling power Marcus Garvey's program had over the Negro, even though Marcus Garvey was removed from active participation in the meetings here in Liberty Hall. This audience here tonight is a tribute to the work, contribution and achievement of the great leader of this association.
Tremendous. Responsibility
I want to make a statement at this time, somewhat of a general statement regarding the affairs of the association, and especially of the Black Cross Trading and Navigation Company. I do not know whether or not the members and friends of Liberty Hall and New York realize the tremendous responsibility which rests upon the shoulders of those of us who are at the present time attempting to hold together the great Universal Negro Improvement Association. I want you to know—and I hope that you will feel—that those of us at the present time' who are attempting to guide the destinies of this great organization are making every effort to safeguard the interests of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in general.
The U. N. I. A. Well in Hand
Just at this time when the Universal Negro Improvement Association is passing through one of its crucial moments it would appear that from every side forces and agencies hostile to the organization are attacking in an effort to destroy it. Nevertheless little do they know that they are up against an impossibility. In their attempt to destroy the association they may cause us, concern, they may embarrass us sometimes, but we have our hands thoroughly and securely on the situation, and are confident that we will be able to pull through, tremendous as are the responsibilities and obligations which face us. I am bringing it to your attention because you as members mean so much to us at this particular time, because upon you as members we are counting for support in an order that we might pull through these difficult times. However, the Universal Negro Improvement Association as such is getting along and progressing excellently. We have reports from all over the country that the divisions are taking in new members and especially are they taking in these persons who were once openly hostile toward the organization. In every way the Universal Negro Improvement Association which the country thought to destroy by placing in prison its leader takes on new life and new vigor and goes on toward the goal of higher accomplishment and achievement. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is a popular kind of organization. It would appear that we actually thrive on opposition; it would appear that when men talk about, on, on, on we and try to learn, on down, the guide we see to get up, and the higher we rise.

This is to make known that I have appointed the following officers of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League as a committee of management to administer the affairs of said association and auxiliary:

SIR CLIFFORD S. BOURNE, Chancellor.
HON. G. E. CARTER, Secretary-General.
All officers and members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will be governed accordingly.

Black Cross Trading and Navigating Company, as perhaps all of you understood from the beginning, was a tremendous undertaking. As Mr. Gavray has said from this platform time after time, it takes more money to run a steamship corporation than it does to buy a steamship. Those of you who are touch, who know the affairs of the organisation, know that the organization was almost strained to the breaking point in an effort to acquire the steamship that we sent away from New York harbor some months ago. Nevertheless Mr. Garvey attempted this gigantic task with full confidence in the ability, the loyalty and faithfulness of the membership to see to it that it was carried on. The steamship "Booker. T. Washington" is now in Kingston, Jamaica. It has been there a little more than a week. Now, you know steamships cannot operate unless they get cargo. We find that in the operation of steamships the Negro meets with the same hostility towards his progress that he meets with in every other phase of activity.
For over a week our steamship has been in the harbor at Kingston and Mr. Bourne with myself have been going from one brokerage house to another, from one banking institution to another, in an effort either to secure cargo or to secure the necessary amount of money in order that we might bring that ship back here to New York harbor. We made this effort because we have no desire to further worry you, realizing that you had been loyal to your uimost end in your effort to see to it that the steamship was successful. We were reluctant to even come to you last week and ask you for assistance in bringing the ship back, because we felt that the people had done their part so far, and that if it was possible for us to get a cargo somewhere in Kingston, somewhere in Cuba or somewhere in that part of the country, in order that funds might be had to pay the ship's expenses we could do that without disturbing the good people in Liberty Hall and other parts of the country. We found that commercial houses with whom our brokers were dealing, even though they had cargo to come North and wanted some ship to bring that cargo, refused to give us contracts. Negotiations would go through all right, until they discovered that the ship was the one owned by the "Harvey movement," then all negotiations would fall through. We, the crew, found ourselves face to face with this situation. That being directors of the corporation it was up to us to see to it that every effort was put forth to safeguard those of you, or rather those of us, who have invested with the Black Cross Trading and Navigation Company. To do this we decided to appeal to you, for funds, and at the same time make a frank statement of the situation.
An Appeal to All Divisions
An Appeal to All Divisions
Now I am appealing to you tonight in an effort to raise your port of the $6,000 that we will be compelled to telegraph to Kingston in order that the steamship may proceed back to New York. I have not only made that appeal to Liberty Hall, but we have made that appeal tonight to several of the large divisions of the country, and we are expecting between these divisions and Liberty Hall to raise that amount. I want to say this, especially to, the bondholders in the Black Cross Trading and Navigaton Company, that as president of the Black Cross Trading and Navigaton Company, I have but one duty at this time as I see it, and that is to do everything we possibly can to protect the money that you have already invested. Now, if pro-

feeling that money means the turning over of the steamship for the actual cash that has been put into it and turning back to you your money. If there is no other alternative, we are going to do that, because we feel that the people who made this steamship possible should not at least lose the money that they have invested, but we do not think we are going to be compelled to go to this extreme because 'we feel pretty sure that we will be able to get a charter party for the ship in order that some reputable concern will handle it and the corporation will be able to realize several thousand dollars monthly in clear profit out of which we can pay you interest on your money, and at the expiration of your wages return to you your principal. We want the bondholders to know that anything we do in the direction of the steamship is done simply because we have in mind safeguarding you and your interests. Some enthusiasts may feel that we ought to do this, that and the other, but we are trying to do what we think is for your best interest. Whether you realize or not, I want you know that those of us who are taking charge now are running up against many new, propositions of which we knew nothing to a week or two ago, which means that we are called upon at short notice to face precarious situations that demand quick thought and quick judgment, and in this crisis we are putting forth every effort in the direction that we feel will assure your protection and the safe return to you of your money.
I am asking you tonight to liberate Hall to south gate $5000 as part of your quota to the $6,000 we have got to raise by Tuesday or Wednesday. We are asking you to come to the assistance of yourselves—to help yourselves save your own money. We have got one or two concerns that have almost assured us that the ship can be handled in a way that will be of benefit to the corporation, but we cannot do anything until it gets back. I am therefore appealing to you to do everything that is possible to bring about this result.
MRS. GARVEY SPEAKS
Mrs. Garvey was the last speaker She expressed the utmost confidence in the men who were appointed by Hon. Marcus Garvey as a committee of management to conduct the affairs of the organization and assured the membership that those men would do nothing towards changing the policies of the organization and its plans, regarding the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Co. until they had had

Garvey in Good Spirits
Anticipating that there were many among the audience who wanted to inquire about Mr. Garvey, she said that he was in the best of spirits. She received a letter, from him on the previous day and as is his custom he sent a message to Liberty Hall, saying to the members to carry on. His earnest request was to assure the members of the organization to have no fears about him as he was not a bit downhearted, because he realized long since that the paths of leadership lead to the prison; no man can expect to lead any reform movement and escape the danger of imprisonment and even death, and he is prepared for it. He hopes that the members are prepared to hold up the banner of the organization while he is in prison. He is studying hard and the Garvey that will come out of Atlanta will be a better man than the Garvey that went in. (Applause.)

Mrs. Garvey then spoke of remorse threats against her which had reached her hearing, and said that she was not in the least disturbed about them. The enemies pay do their worst, said she, but they are not helping themselves one bit; they are helping the organization because the more they do to harm and binder the organization the greater momentum it gets, and the more sympathizers and friends it gains. People are beginning to realize that there is something worth while in the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and they are coming in and trying to find out all about our work and help us to carry it on. She appealed therefore to the members to carry in the same way of they have been doing before and have no fears about the outcome for the cause in which they are working is just and must prevail.
HE LOTT CAREY WORK
GOING WELL IN LIBERIA
Mr. Faulkner Will Help Teach the Natives How to Do Things—New Mission Program
The coming of Mr. A. C. Faulkner to Moorvain, Liberia is not only of great importance to the future success of the Left Carey Convention of Richmond, Virginia, but is also a garmount importance to the economic and especially the industrial development of the country generally.
Mr. Kaulker, who is an expert of no mean ability, and who has complete knowledge of mechanical, marine and electrical engineering together with carpentry and mechanical drawings and many other useful and scientific knowledge, was sent to this country under the auspices of the Lott Carey Foreign Mission Board of the aforesaid Convention for the express purpose of developing their Mission Stations on industrial lines, and as personal representation for corporations of various kinds, and for which he has been instructed, to begin operations at his earliest convenience.
Mr. Falkner comes with full power of authority which he holds and is fully prepared to assist in developing the Fatherland along all lines, and to do all in his power to build up a closer commercial relation between Liberia and the great American Republic for which the people of Liberia are very anxious.
A few days ago after the arrival of Mr. Faulkner in Monrovia, he had the pleasure of visiting the annual session of the Farmers' Association under the presidency of the Hon. D. E. Howard, ex-President of Liberia, where he was introduced and addressed the association in the presence of His Excellency President King, Members of his Cabinet. Members of the National Legislature and other government officials. His lecture was of such import that a committee was appointed by the association to work on him at his residence for further suggestions, plans and information.
One of the main features of Mr. Faulkner's coming to Liberia is that he is here to stay. To the surprise of me he was set in Liberia one week before he became here 46th edition of this Reporter. This edition on the page
speaks volumes for his interest and purpose in coming to this country.
As for the Lott Carey Convention we cannot too highly commend Dr. C. S. Brown, the efficient and energetic president, for his Christian fortitude and magnanimity of soul, as well as his interest for the religious and industrial welfare of Liberia.

A Remarkable Home Treatment Given by One Who Had It.
In the year of 1823 I was attacked by Muscular and Subacute Rheumatism. I suffered as only those who are thus afflicted know for over three years. I tried remedy after remedy, but such relief as I obtained was only temporarily. Finally, I found a treatment that cured me completely, and such a pitiful condition has never returned. I have given it to a number who were terribly afflicted, even bed-ridden, some of them seventy to eighty years old, and the results

Don't send a cent; simply mail your name and address and I will send it free to try. After you have used it and it has proven itself to be that long-looked-for means of getting rid of such forms of rheumatism, you may send the price of it, one dollar; but, understand, I do not want your money unless you are perfectly satisfied to send it.

THE VACANT CHAIR IN LIBERTY HALL
THERE is a vacant chair in Liberty Hall, in New York. It is draped with the robes of his office who so long occupied the chair as President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities' League and Provisional President of Africa. The vacant chair will remain so draped and vacant until Hon. Marcus Garvey comes to his own again, and when he does return he will receive such a welcome as no other leader of the Negro race has received through the dead ages.
In his eloquent and pathetic address at Liberty Hall the Sunday evening after they had taken our President-General from us, Bishop Alexander McGuire made the suggestion that the President-General's chair should remain vacant and draped with the robes of his office until he should return to us. The silence was so dense as the Bishop made the suggestion, the 5,000 people present were so filled with the solemnity of the occasion and the suggestion, that the fall of a pin might have been heard. It was a moment of deepest concern to all those present and the significance of it was felt by every one.
Silently the suggestion was carried into effect, silently and swiftly, while the audience looked on with tear-stained faces, but with hearts as stout and courageous as ever looked misfortune and sorrow in the face and defied them to do their worse, as devoted hands draped the vacant chair with the robes of the President-General's high office. When the work of loyalty and love had been finished every one felt that it was the good and proper thing to be done, but the dense silence remained unbroken for a space, and until President Weston of the New York local began again to carry out the remaining parts of the program.
The editor of The Negro World has no doubt that the significance and appropriateness of Bishop McGuire's suggestion will be appreciated by the membership of the locals in all parts of the world. It will be a constant reminder to them that the head of the association is present, although absent from his accustomed place. It will serve as an inspiration and a hope to have it so. We shall know that he is present, although absent, and that will comfort us.
Let us be of good courage. The seed has been sown; it is our business to see that it is properly cultivated; in good season it will come to the harvest and we shall reap as we have sown. The vacant chair in Liberty Hall is not vacant. We all know that. The spirit of the master, the great leader, is always in it, and, as Bishop McGuire said, always will be in it.
BALTO. THE SUPER-DOG
LY the Nation was thrilled to the heat but such a dog race! It was a race of dogs pay in Alaska an epidemic of diphtheria of Nome. A certain anti-toxin serum disease. The railroads were blocked by slow, airplanes tried to carry the serum
RECENTLY the Nation was thrilled to the heart at a dog race. But such a dog race! It was a race of dogs with death. Far away in Alaska an epidemic of diphtheria had broken out, in the city of Nome. A certain anti-toxin serum was needed to check the disease. The railroads were blocked by snow, the ships were too slow, airplanes tried to carry the serum and were beaten back by the blizzards. The precious substance had to be entrusted to dog teams running in relays.
The dogs struck out into the hundreds of miles of driving snow. On and on they went, freezing, blinded, almost engulfed by the whirling storm. One by one the relays gained their goal and transferred their life-saving cargo to another team. Finally the last long lap was reached, and the last team set out. Before them stretched hundreds of miles of the worst snow storms in the world. Undaunted, they fought their way mile after mile, steered by their courageous drivers. Then an awful thing happened; the trail was suddenly lost in the storm.
Isolated, blinded, they could not tell where they were. All of man's ingenuity, all the experience of twenty years in the frozen North, availed nothing. Then when man's wit and will had surrendered, the lead log, named Balto, conquered. By sure instinct he picked up the trail again and led the team into Nome.
Well may the world ring with the praise of Balto, the dog who won when man had lost. Balto, the super-dog! What man would give one Balto or any of his teammates for all the pedigreed pups at the New York dog show in Madison Square Garden?
spirit that has got into the lives of the members of the association the spirit of Africa for the Africans, of self-determination of Negroes in their own affairs everywhere, and the proper conservation of the social, civil and economic values of the race for the advantage of the race and not for the advantage of others.
The English speaking white people of America, the West Indies, Africa, Australia and the Islands of the Pacific have decided that the Garvey principles are dangerous to them and their business of robbing the weak peoples of their lands and labors, and they are doing what they can to prevent the spread of those principles. Everywhere they, are pursuing a policy of repression and oppression, but everywhere they are finding that Negroes are alive to their own interests and disposed to question the right of the English-speaking white race to rule and rob them. This is it that makes the Universal Negro Improvement Association an object of distrust in the English speaking cabinets of the world, and Marcus Garvey to be regarded as a dangerous person. Thus the lines are sharply drawn. Negroes everywhere are beginning to see the light, to catch the vision, to interpret the handwriting on the wall as the white man writes it, and their protests are being heard if not heeded.
The Negro people of the world are waking up, and that is just what the white landgrabbers and exploiters of the produce and labors of Negroes do not want. It is a good principle in such a conflict to find out what the enemy does not want and give him more of it than he can stomach. The Spaniards have found it that way in dealing with Morocco, and the English will find it that way in dealing with the native Africans of South Africa, whom they are oppressing to the verge of actual enslavement. Already the natives are protesting as individuals and as organizations. Agitation and protest are the forerunners of reforms or the revolution that shakes the pillars of the State.
The Universal Negro Improvement Association has scattered the sound doctrine throughout the world where there are any Negroes with wrongs to be righted, and the echoes of the sound are heard in all lands. Make no mistake about that. Neither the sound nor the echoes thereof can be suppressed. The Negroes of the world have determined to be heard and felt in their own affairs, and they will be felt and heard.
Yes, the membership is standing by the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and they are going to continue to do so as long as there is a Negro anywhere who is wronged in his manhood or citizenship, or property, or labor. So much is written in the Book of Life where it cannot be erased by the hand of man.

It is gratifying to faced on both lists, and as the lists, Lincoln's birthday we are surprised if fault lies in trying to make up one in omitting Jesus and Paul from useful mistake. No greater teachers, and Jesus ever lived.
NAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO
WHEN President Emeritus Eliot of Harvard makes a list of the world's ten greatest men, the nation listens respectfully. Dr. Eliot, ninety years of age, leading educator and vigorous thinker, is not to be scoffed at, however surprising his list may be in its inclusions and omissions. He makes two lists, one of the world's greatest educators in the last two hundred years, and one of the world's greatest men in the last twenty-five hundred years.
Dr. Eliot, in his list of educators, ignores actual teaching service. Only one man, Horace Mann, had much actual contact with school work, and at that his service lay in the building of the American public school system. The others are Asam Smith and John Stuart Mill, who were economists; Faraday and Darwin, who were general scientists; William Ellery Channing, a preacher; Louis Pasteur, a bacteriologist; Ernest Renan, the biographer of Christ; Herbert Spencer and Ralph Waldo Emerson, philosophers. Thus it seems that Dr. Eliot's conception of an educator is very broad, perhaps too broad, for popular understanding. These men were educators of mankind. Darwin, for instance, made men think as never before. But, except for Herbert Spencer, they had no direct influence upon teaching methods or subject matter. To the science of education they contributed nothing.
The other list names the ten men who, in twenty-five hundred years, did most for educational work and humanity. They are Aristotle, Galen, Da Vinci, Milton, Shakespeare, Locke, Kant, Bacon, Newton and Emerson again. This list, supposed to be more inclusive than the other, is really more exclusive, for it consists almost entirely of technical educators. All of them except Kant Da Vinci and Shakespeare were writers on the subject of education and no history of education can omit their names.
Both lists, it seems to us, are rather confused. Pasteur should be in the list of humanitarians and the humanitarian list should be under the heading of education. It is gratifying to see one American, Emerson, placed on both lists, and as the lists were published on the eve of Lincoln's birthday we are surprised at the omission of Lincoln. The fault lies in trying to make up one list from two viewpoints. And in omitting Jesus and Paul from both lists Dr. Eliot made a fateful mistake. No greater teachers, no greater educators, than Paul and Jesus ever lived.

CAN CRIMINALS BE REFORMED TO BE TESTED Real Test of Probation Theory to Be Tried Out by the Catholic Archdiocese of New York with All the Resources of the Church Behind It
Probation is to be given a chance. For the first time in New York City—which means in the world—probation is to be put on a basis where the intrinsic worth of its principles can be scientifically treated. This is the opinion of Edwin J. Cooley, professor of criminology at Fordham University and for many years chief probation officer at Magistrates Court, who discussed yesterday the plans for the model probation system which Cardinal Hayes announced would be established at the Court of General Sessions, shortly.
"Money, that's the whole story!" he said. "Resources, unlimited resources! For the first time probation work is going to have what it has always lacked, adequate funds. Every one knows more or less about the principle of the thing. Probation is simply social case work with the punch of the behind it. It has never been given a fair chance. It has always been starved, hampered, cramped by the lack of funds. But in spite of that it has made wonderful strides—sustained only by the inherent vitality of its principles. We've never before been able to show what we can do, but in a year from now we will have a story to tell the world."
The announcement was made yesterday by Cardinal Hayes through his secretary for charities, the Rev. Robert F. Keegan, who said that all the social resources of the Archdiocese of New York will be put behind the new organization, which will be financed by Catholic charities. It was announced that an initial sum of $60,000 had been put at the disposal of the organizers in order to start the system.
Father Keegan told the reporter that the statement given the press indicated but briefly the deep interest which Cardinal Hayes takes in the new venture. "Cardinal Hayes believes in an ounce of prevention. We have had a Catholic probation system at the Court of General Sessions, since the inauguration of the probation system, just as the other denominations, the Jews and Protestants, have. I think the General Sessions, which is the first and largest criminal court in the world—you know, its charter was granted by Charles II—is the only court where such work is done along denominational lines. It is the only logical place to start the new system, which in reality will be the old, with wider opportunities for service due to the increase in its budget.
"What will the budget be? No sum has been fixed, so it is impossible to say what will be needed. That is the point, when we said 'adequate funds' we meant it. As the need increases the budget will increase. There will be a trained staff of workers, modern office equipment and, besides that, through the Catholic Charities, the probation system will have at its disposal hospitals, clinics, relief agencies of all kinds, child welfare and family welfare organizations. It will have an employment bureau of its own, and where it is necessary there will be vocational training.
"It is Cardinal Hayes's plan to make this a demonstration, a real test of the possibilities of probation as a reformative agency—a reform school without walls. He is interested because of the preventive aspect of the work. As for the details of what probation has done in the past, and it's on the basis of what it has proved it can do that we go into this venture, ask Mr. Cooley. He can tell you everything." And Fr. Keegan proceeded to tell of Mr. Cooley's special fitness for the work of which he will have charge.
Mr. Cooley compared the probation system to that of public health. "It is simply doing for the moral and social side of life what the health officials do for the physical. The pity of it—the waste of crime—is what I never can get over," he said. "It's such a great economic loss. A boy commits a felony which would entitle him to a jail sentence of many years. It is his first offense. If it were not for the probation system there would be no choice but release him to prey upon the community or put him in jail, stamping him for life with that irreversible atima. It is an serious problem, but, while we give the offender every chance, studying him, his offence, his background, education, employment record and the life, we do not coddle him. There is no foundation to the policy that probation means a subversion of the law. It simply is an attempt to save to society those who would otherwise be a charge."

Disadvantage of Routine For adults who get into the treadmill of activities there is some disadvantage to a routine. I must admit Some authorities go so far as to say that to be engaged in routine activities which are dull and uninteresting to the men or women is more dangerous than to be working "too hard" over something which engages every enthusiasm of the individual. You know yourself that you can be too tired and bored to do your regular work, but you could take that same body out and make it "go like forty" hunting up radio parts, or playing tennis, or golf, or some other thing in which you were eagerly interested.
Treadmills kill. Hard work, which you like, seldom does harm unless you have some organic handleup. Even that "tough old man give-me-the-ax," of the story which I mentioned in the previous article, finally concluded that it was "not good to be too long anywhere." When he realized that he sold everything he had and put the "spot cash money in a ring bag" and went down to the ticket office and bought a ticket "to go where the railroad runs off into the blue sky and forty ways farther yet." In planning your work leave a space for the unusual. Plan so that you will get away from the semeness of things occasionally. Go once in a while to a good play. Take out some swimming tickets in a good gymnasium. Join "a gym" class. Save some money for some skating lessons—yes, you, too; mothers! Plan a few week-end hikes out to the Pallisades and up to Bear Mountain whether the winter snow and ice are still there or not. Go to the park on Sunday, Get-outdoors winter and fall and summer and spring. Take recreational activities into your schedule for the next six months and see how much good it does you. You will have fewer colds, more energy for the necessary activities, more fun, and—why, you will live.
What the Sailing of The Ship Means to Us
From the Newport News Star
The Universal Negro Improvement Association has embarked again in the maritime business. According to newspaper reports, a ship named the "Booker T. Washington" has been secured and is now on her initial trip to the West Indies and other ports. "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again" is being exemplified by the U. N. I. A. and every Negro of reasonable mind offers a prayer that the effort might prove successful this time.
If Mr. Garvey and his followers feel satisfied there is a field for such a venture, and will invest their money in that way, the rest of us ought to at least wish them God speed, if no more. The start is easy, if the money can be secured; but the future will hold many trying difficulties which will need to be overcome. The U. N. I. A. has had some unusual experience in this line of endeavor, and those who are old enough to know say that experience is the light by which we are guided; and since they know something of what they are undertaking, from experience, they are not asking any officious advice, but are going into the venture again with their eyes opened and their determination keyed to take advantage of the mistakes which overlook them and ruined their business in the previous effort.

Old Glory of the East;
New Glory of the West
(From the Brooklyn Eagle)
India's Legislative Assembly has adopted, by a vote of 49 to 41, the Swarajists being in control, a bill demanding "reciprocal treatment" for America and the British colonies, which treat Indians as an "inferior race." In precisely the same spirit Japan proposes to make holding of land by allens only a reciprocal privilege, denying it to such nations as do not permit the Japanese to be landowners.
In other words, the brown races say to the white races: "You think we are inferior to you; we are sure you are inferior to us. Let it go at that. It is only a difference of opinion. But when you make it affect the rights of brown human beings we will make it affect the rights of white human beings." The logic of the Orient is perfect.
Both India and Japan have civilizations older than our_own, older than that of Europe, if Europe, after the world war can be said to have any type-civilization. In the poles that centuries of cultivation give the thinkers of Japan, of India, of China are as far ahead of our jazz thinkers as Plato was ahead of Adam and Eve. The low- or status of the brown men is only in what is material and chiefly in lack of attention to the sublimе-importance of man-killing agencies. Japan in overcoming that latter deficiency, alone, has come to be recognized by Christian powers.
In the last analysis, there can be no "inferiority" complex without the tacit or overt acknowledgment of the superiority of somebody else. If the brown man feels himself our superior he is right in saying so. And "reclin-prociety" in inferiority is a curious but inevitable compromise.
The Garvey Movement Will Continue to Function
(From the Oakland (Cal.) Voice)
The Supreme Court in sustaining the conviction in the lower court of Marcus Garvey and his sentence to five years imprisonment has dealt the organization of which he is the head a severe blow, but it will not destroy this determined body of men and women who believe in Garvey, in spite of all that his enemies may say or do. The fires that Garvey started burning will not be quenched because Garvey may be forced to relinquish the reins of government. Garvey followers have an ideal to espouse and as the years go by the mistakes of the past will be made stepping stones to bigger and better things.
We do not believe that Garvey in a thief; neither do his followers. Garvey was surrounded by men who had no experience in the business world, and possibly the amount of caution that should have been exercised in the handling of other people's money was not in evidence. Yet at heart we believe Garvey was honest. And the enemies of Garvey who would rejoice at his conviction will get little comfort if they think that it sounds the death knell of his organization. The seeds that Garvey planted will live on as long as God lives, and the ideals that he strove for will endure as long as time last; and younger, abler, and stronger hands will carry on where Garvey leaves off.

Withdrawal of the American delegation from the International Opium Conference marked, if not failure, at least a severe setback in a long crusade to induce the great powers to pull into effect a pledge of teototalism signed in 1815 on behalf of their subject drug consumers of the East—a pledge each had already voluntarily carried out on behalf of its citizens in the Occident.
Representative Stephen G. Porter and his colleagues went to Geneva, backed by the President and Congress, to ask the other nations to agree to abolition of opium and the coca leaf within ten years—excepting the small quantity needed for medicinal and scientific uses. They proposed immediate restriction of production of raw opium and reduction of the traffic in smoking opium at the rate of 10 per cent. a year. They left because eleven months of study, reports and sharp, discussion had failed to break down the disinclination of other governments to undertake such a radical step.
The reason was simply that the fumes of opium had permeated so deeply into the physiological habits of the East, and the business and political habits of European Colonial offices, that the program offered by the United States was regarded as impossibly idealistic. Several delegates frankly said so.
Great Britain, because of her control in India, Hongkong and the Malay Archipelago, bore the brunt of the American attack. As Viscount Cecil, head of the British delegation, put it, "to cut off simply the supply of what has been called government opium, unless at the same time you deal with amugged opium, will be of no value whatever" and "may family result in increasing the amount of opium consumed in these districts." Great Britain would not agree to put an end to growing of opium in India or to stop exporting smoking opium from her colonies within ten years because it would do no good. Too much was produced in China, whence it filtered through all the Orient. The real problem was that of bootlegging of the poison. France and Holland, the two other European nations with Oriental colonies, supported this view.
After many attempts at compromise and after proclaiming that the, conference was incompetent to deal with India's internal traffic in opium, Viscount Cecil finally offered on behalf of Britain to suppress smoking within fifteen years, the period to begin. when China had so curtailed her crop as to eliminate serious danger of smuggling.

Mr. Porter said this would be of no use; that the only course was for the powers to stop smoking in their colonies and thus to attack production. This was the impasse that ended the meeting so far as the Americans were concerned.
Opium production and sale are government monopolies in the British, Dutch and French possessions, and those States derive from them revenues that vary from about 3 per cent of the total public income in the case of India to 20 per cent, in the case of French Indo-China.
From the Dardanelles to the Yellow Sea, from Java to Mongolia, the seductive poppy flourishes, every species containing a milky juice that is at once the most indispensable remedy of the materia medica and the most insidious of habit-forming aarcation. It apparently has always grown in Asia Minor and has been used to some extent in the Far East; but not until modern means of transport had scattered its seed over half a continent and scores of islands and modern commercial enterprise had exploited its cultivation did its wiltless and devastating consumption become general in the Orient.
Now, whatever the law, it finds its way in alarming quantities into all countries. East and West, and Viscount Cecil's disquieting figures as to this vast bootlegging of the East should be read in connection with statements of medical authorities regarding the growth of the drug habit in the United States. Its invasion of this country is attributed to the increase in neuroses and the comparative ease of obtaining opiates.
From opium, malaity that grown in Persia and Turkey, are derived morphine, codeine, narcotine and narcinein, as well as a dozen other narcotic alkaloids. Indian opium is not used for drug manufacture. From coca, which the American delegation also sought to suppress, comes cocaine. So the crusade against opium in the East is a part of the organized effort to check the spread of the drug habit in Western nations, as well.
The world needs oplum. Physicians could not get on without it. A subcommittee of the Oplum Conference placed the medical and scientific requirements of the whole human race at 350 tons a year. That is, the amount that the American program called for producing—no more. The quantity actually produced, outside of China, is about 3,500 tons a year. Inside China the field is statically uncharted, but estimates go as high as 15,000 tons—a figure mentioned by both the Anti-Oplum Society and Viscount Cecil. Medical authorities have estimated that fifty times as much of the poison was used to undermine health and sanity as was used to relieve suffering—adding that perhaps half that classed as medicinal goes to drug addicts.
Thus the debilitating gum made from the milk of the poppy, which should be rationed in minute quantities to physicians and chemists, is wafted by ailips, railways and caravans to remote parts of primitive Asia, to all continents and islands where there are men of broken morale hungry for the means of accelerating their demoralization. Spium bootleggers have an easy time compared with carriers of contraband liquor, for a particle of the drug as large as a pea is the equivalent in stimulus of a good-sized bottle of whisky.
India and China are the two greatest producers of the deadly poppy that has wound its tendrils so inextricably through the trade, channels of the Orient as to become a major diplomatic issue.

Hard to dislike a chap who likes you, isn't it? Well, there's your peace plan
Mr. Roland E. Gillen, executive secretary of the Cincinnati division, has sent the Editor of The Negro World the following answer to an article in the Cincinnati Times-Star, with the request that we publish it in The Negro World:
The Cincinnati Times-Star states that Marcus Garvey may be down and out, but his work still goes on. What about it? What does the Times-Star think? The Times-Star thinks that the work of African Redemption will step! The Cincinnati division says No, a thousand times No. All divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, voke the sentiment of the Cincinnati division, the Parent Body of the West.
The Cincinnati division has declared unto the world that they will carry on the work of African Redemption until Africa has been redeemed, until Four Hundred Million Negroes the world over have a place under the sun, until the colors of the Red, Black and Green are planted on the hill tops of Africa. The members of the Cincinnati Division have not slackened one bit, we are full of more zeal, enthusiasm, and a greater determination to carry on the work of African Redemption.
Did the followers of Mahatma Gandhi, De Valera, and other reformers stop when their leaders were imprisoned or incarcerated? No! They became so determined that their prosecutors were sorry.
The Cincinnati Times-Star states that Garvey is a hero to his followers. Certainly Garvey is a hero to us, and to the Negro Race. He is no hero to the White Race, and neither do we want the white man to be a hero for the Negro race. We know that the White Race has always been an enemy to the darker peoples of the world, and especially to the Negro. Everything the Negro would attempt on his own initiative, the white world places themselves as stumbling blocks in the way. The white world has gona mad, especially the white Britsher over the launching of the Col. Goethals, which was recently rechristened the Booker T. Washington.
They incarcerated our leader, Mr Garvey, because he is after our second ship and more. The members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association shall float ships, and more ships, and carry on the work, which our great leader started. They may call us dreamers, and fanatics, but such dreams and fanatics are what made the British Empire; such dreams and fanatics were the cause of the Pilgrim Fathers coming to America. The white world scattered the Negro into the four corners of the world, so that they could dominate and rule; but ye, Mr. White Man, we are on, to your trick, and we hope that every Negro will teach his, or her child about the injustices, lynchings, burning, etc., and especially the injustice which was meted out to our indomitable leader, Mr. Garvey.
The Times-Star refers to Garvey's uniforms. Well, what about Lloyd George, Clemenceau, and the different heads of governments, don't they wear uniforms? The same pride of heads of governments have for their uniforms, we of the Universal African Legions, of the Universal Negro Improvement Association have for our uniforms. I dare the Times-Star criticise the Kluxian for wearing a German uniform. Yes, we feel proud of our uniforms, and some day these same critics will be so sorry for their criticisms. Some day their children will run from this very uniform:
Why don't the Times-Star criticize the Negro for wearing Uncle Sam's uniform, a uniform after which being worn, after stopping, bullets for the American and British white man, after fighting for democracy as they call it, after coming home thinking that things will be better, they were lynched, burned, Jim-crowed, and segregated.
This is the time that Times-Star should criticize the Negro for wearing a uniform. Yes, I dare them.
What does the white world think? They think that Negroes are going to different colleges in this country and other parts of the world for nothing. Oh me, Mr. White Man, we want the same thing you want, we want to be rulers, not rulers over white men, but rulers over Africa, and by the help of Alphabetic God, we shall be.
I enclose herewith a 'letter' and telegram sent to the Hon. Marcus warren on Sunday, Feb. 15, after a wonderful demonstration of loyalty by the division. Hundreds of members were present, and showed in no uncertain way that the U. N. I. A. has come to stay, in spite of the martyrdom of our leader.
Please find space for these communications in your next issue, as they might help some.
I also send you copies of two letters or articles written to the editor of one of our white dailies in this city. This editor wrote vile editorials after our chief was sent on to Atlanta, and the enclosed are replies to those articles of his. I also send you his editorials, and you will also see why he did not publish my first reply, and up to now he has not, published my second. He said to me personally a few days ago, when I went to his office and had an interview with him, that he feared that my letter would cause the poor people to come forward and put their money into the venture. So we know why they are so "interested" in us poor folks today.
Make whatever use you can of them. But be assured of this fact, that we are busy unholding in a dignified way the banner of the red, black and green.

We thank God that He has raised up a real he-man like you as leader of our race, and we as a people shall not fall to support you or the cause for which you have been called upon to pay the price of leadership. Take it, our dear President General, that great honor has been conferred upon you, from God's point of view, for service in this great work. Many men and women of our division would willingly come to Atlanta to take your place today; buff, no, that was not the plan mapped out by Allah.
Today, hundreds of us have re-dedicated ourselves in the presence of God to this great work. With our right hands upraised, and a prayer on our lips, we have vowed that no imprisonment, no death, no persecution, no hell, shall turn us inside from the path that has been made by you for the total emancipation of our down-trodden race.
This service has been conducted by the pastor, who is also a warm member of our organization.
We shall continue to pray for you. May God bless you; may He keep you safe and deliver you as he did his leaders of old, so that you may comeback to us to carry on this mighty work that was cut out for you.
In closing, we cannot forget to mention our great admiration for that brave and sincere wife of yours, who has shown, by her constant sacrifice that she is a true leader of our women. God bless her, and may the time speed quickly when you shall be brought again to her. We will never forget her. Your humble servants and co-workers

Note. We do not republish the editorial outgivings of the Columbus Dispatch and Mr. Christian's unpublished replies to them for lack of space. The editor of the Dispatch shows very conclusive that he has no faith in Mr. Garvey, and the Universal Negro Improvement Association and Mr. Christian shows him very clearly that he is in error, and not in sympathy with the membership of the association, which is standing loyalty by the president general and the principle of the association.

LOOKING AFTER HEALTH OF CHILDREN IN HARLEM
Splendid Work of the New York Tuberculosis Association Growing in Favor
They are still registering, strongly enough, these little boys and girls. And they still have the privilege of voting, too, not for President, of course, but for health. Already twenty-sight children who are undernourished and underweight have registered in the nutritious class conducted by the Harlem Tuberculosis Committee of the New York Tuberculosis Association.
There are many more little applicants awaiting the physical examination that will determine whether or not they are eligible for membership in this specially conducted health class: Every Thursday afternoon at 8:30 the office of the Harlem Tuberculosis Committee, at 202 West 13th street, is transformed into a classroom where health is taught, where the children are instructed in the ways of better living so that they may attain not only normal weight, but better health.
Wednesday afternoons are devoted to the periodic physical examination which is given each boy and girl in order to ascertain what program is being made, and also to make sure that any physical defects which may have been present, such as tonsils and adenoids, diseased teeth etc., have been corrected.
The members of the class are given a card of health rules to study. The lesson given thereson is diligently memorised and put into practice, and soon that which had at first appeared difficult has become an easy matter of good habits. Teeth are brushed both morning and night, baths are taken at least twice a week, a generous amount of fresh vegetables is being eaten, milk has assumed a role of great importance in the daily routine and plenty of sleep in a bedroom) that has open windows is being obtained.
"Before the children will really be aware of it," said Mrs. Mabel Doyle Keaton, executive secretary, today, "graduation will be here and with it advancement into the Carrot Club—the post graduate course, so to speak, for those who have attained their normal weight and have had physical, defects corrected. Every one of our twenty-eight little members is certain that the much coveted membership in the Carrot Club is not far off.
The Harlem Tuberculosis Committee was so successful with its nutrition class last year that it is hoping big things for the new class which was organized last fall. The children are enthusiastic and eager to do the things that are asked of them, and the parents have been found to be most co-operative with the committee in carrying out the health suggestions.
JAPAN FIGURING CONTROL OF CHINA AND INDIA
That Is the Way Flirting with Soviet Russia Appears to British Statesmen
Another attempt by Soviet Russia to effect a commercial treaty with Britain is expected to follow the return to London of Bakovsky, Soviet Charge d'Affaires, who before going to Moscow tried to ascertain from Austen Chamberlain the terms on which the British Government would open fresh negotiations.
During Bakovsky's stay in Moscow Japan made a treaty with Russia by which the Japanese obtain the vitally necessary oil fields in northern Sakhalen. The view in diplomatic quarters here is that, the Russo-Japanese treaty is only a precursor of more far-reaching agreements between Moscow and Tokyo.
It is known that the British Government and particularly the naval chiefs are deeply absorbed by this Russo-Japanese development, and the Conservative Review, which voices the views of a large section of the younger members of the Tory party, contains an article in the edition published today in which it declared:
"An entente if not an alliance between Russia and Japan is one of the possibilities of the future."
It asserts further: "Japan's central purpose is to control the human material and resources of Eastern Asia, which in effect means China." Japan,

It is asserted, has changed her methods and not her alma, and that in place of a territorialist plan, with its program of conquest and annexation, she is pursuing the more subtle one of "obtaining complete control, naval and political, of the great island barrier extending from Saghalen to Formosa." This, it is asserted gives her control of all maritime communication with China.
It is contended that Britain can best maintain peace in the Pacific by the rapid completion of the Singapore base. Even in quarters where there is strong repugnance to the Soviet regime it is argued that a delicate situation may be created if Moscow is continuously rebuffed by London. The Tory Government, however, is not likely to enter into any negotiations if a treaty is made contingent upon a loan and until Russia ceases propaganda in the British Empire.

Future of Europeans to
Grasp the Native Thought
and Aim — What the
World War Taught the
Natives—The Future
BY R. S. BARBE BAKER
Commonly Assistant Conservator of
Foresta, Kenya Colony)
From the Belize Independent
Africa is at last awakening from an
long inertia, and there is a slow
sure movement in which one can
already recognize the beginnings of a
free consciousness amongst millions of
people who have, up till now, been
reared as the most backward races of
Frankland. It is a fact that these people,
cut off from the rest of the world,
evolved a social system and moral
code which is more or less suited to
their requirements. The tendency
with us in Europe has been to regard
them all as savings. We have at one
time exploited and bitten them, and
then endeavored to impose upon them
our civilization, never stopping to think
for a moment whether it is adapted to
their own environment and would improve
or alleviate their lot or make life
happier for them.
Central Africa has been invaded first by the explorer, then by the trader and missionary, followed in 'rapid succession' by the administrator and the settler. Whether we have been welcome or not, we are often uninvited, but we have taken upon ourselves responsibilities, which we like to term the "white man's burden". All this has been accomplished so quickly that we have not had time to get to know the African's point of view. Just as we were flattering ourselves that with our advent, intertribal warfare had vanished, the European war obstructed itself upon Africa, and showed the African that what he had before regarded as war, was in comparison, really child's play. If we stop to think sarcastically we shall find it difficult to decide whether, from the African's point of view, the advantages of our presence, weigh the disadvantages.
The future of Africa lies with the African, and this more particularly applies to the Central and Equatorial zone. With the exception of the Highlands, surrounded by the mountain groups of Kenya, Killimanjaro, and Zagol, little of this is suited for white settlement. I think I am right in saying that the policy of the British Government must be very strongly opposed to any encouragement being given to projects which have for their object the creation of European owned and managed plantations to replace agricultural industries which are already in existence, or which are capable of being developed by the Africans themselves.
Of course, every assistance must be rendered in the way-of providing education in agriculture and kindred sub-
'LOST VIGOR RESTORED IN 24 HOURS'
"Glands Renewed in One Day" is the Amazing Statement of a 76-Year-Old Veteran
Lost vigor, deadened glands and nerves, and that weak, worn-out, depressed and hair-alfive feeling need not be dreaded any more. Now it is possible for those who feel prematurely old to become "jowmnawed" in a days time, with Mando Furula, is the amazing statement of one who has been bringing "renewed youth" and "strength" to thousands where everything else had been ruined and glands renewed in twenty-hour hours, says D. B. Peake of Kanaa High School, but that he felt a day over 40. Before I started taking the treatment I felt I was an old, worn-out, hair-alfive feeling and convinced my prevaisonation is complete and permanent. The discovery of such a boon to humanity.
This wonderful formula, prepared by one of the largest laboratories in the world and generally known as Mando, is easily used at home and seems to 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 are lacking in "vigor" and the vital force of youth" we are so confident Mando Formul will make you that we offer to send a large $3.60 bottle for only $1.95 on 14 days' trial. If the results are not satisfactory and you are not more than pleased in every way, it costs you nothing.

jobs, especially trained staffs of African instructors must be provided, who will be sent to the gathering districts, where they will establish experimental plots and demonstrate at first-hand the advantages of 'more scientific methods' of husbandry. Apart from instruction, it should be the duty of the 'Government' to encourage cooperatively owned factories and mills, and see to it that better means of transportation and communication are provided. All this calls for concerted action on the part of the Government represented by its local officials, the missionaries, who have already done something in the direction of providing agricultural training, and the settlers who can see to it, if they will, that each homestead becomes a school, both mental and technical.
The record of government service in Africa has often been unwise and ineffective. Colonial Governments, generally speaking, suffer from a noticeable lack of imagination. They do not wilfully infect wrong, nor are they consciously neglectful; the harm pervariated is merely the result of local conditions. It is difficult to estimate the damage to European prentice as the result of the late war, in which many thousands of Africans were buried against each other apparently without rhyme or reason, that is to say, as far as they could see. If the war had to be, so far as we are concerned, by all possible means it should have been kept out of Africa. However, what has happened has happened, and we must in consequence face profound and disturbing changes. No one can tell what the outcome may be; the fact is that Africa is awakening, but to what? The present is tense with expectancy. Some of us who have taken pains to study the African point of view realize the tremendous dangers with which the present wonderful opportunities are necessarily fraught. Recent events have superficially speeded up to the evolution of the African in a phenomenal way, and conditions which have taken us hundreds of years to arrive at have come to them in as many decades.
The war has taught Africans the secret or organization, and it is only necessary for one to witness, some of the larger, N.gomas, or dances, which are held regularly, every Sunday night in such large towns as Mombasa, to realize this to the fun. The first view is indeed an impressive sight. Just before five o'clock in the evening thousands of people begin to arrive from all quarters of the city, headed by their leaders, and finally assemble on a large open space where a huge crowd of spectators immediately gathers. The numerous companies arrive strictly on time, and are under the complete control of their leaders. Each company is characteristically dressed, and since the war-old regimental uniforms have been used, each company representing either a regiment or clan. There is no limit to the ingenuity employed either in their costumes or maneuvers, but what impresses the onlooker more than anything is the splendid staff work of the men controlling things behind the scene.
The African is very susceptible to personal influence, but merely tolerates the conventional treatment too often meted out to him by the white man. The truth is that the events of recent years have tended to bring home to the African a sense of power. He has become a living factor; old methods of control are wearing thin and will soon become ineffective. From out of the aftermath of war is arising a new order of things. The awakening to which I have previously referred will undoubtedly tend towards the assimilation of ideas which must logically end in the re-birth of a nation.
Little is known to the European of the ancient history of Central Africa, and even now this knowledge is only revealed to those who have been received by the inner circle of the Council of Elders. This ancient inter-tribal institution is the sole guardian of the history of the past, which has been handed down by word of mouth through its members. It represents the combined intelligence of native-born Africans.

Let's Put It Over
How French Africa Looks To Hon. John W. Davis
farmer brings about when, for example, he ingrafts a colon from que apple tree on the stock of, another. In the ancient Mohammedan city of Algiers, for instance, they tried to implant a completely French Algiers, a modern Gallic city. 'That graft did not take completely, and in general their Algerian experiment in penetration, and particularly in the implantation of purely French colonies in the country.
Davis found himself among the last survivors of the men and race who had kept the fire and light of civilization glowing through the dark ages—the heirs of the Averroes whom discovers came from Scotland and Italy and Greece to sit at the feet of, till bigotry bade them nay. But the real thrill of his Moroccan journey had come when he met the Frenchman who must rank among the handful of truly great colonial administrators developed by the West since the Roman days—chief among the others being Lord Cromer of Egypt, Sir Rajah-Brooke of Sarawak and our own Frank Carpenter, who wrought so brilliantly, soundly and obscurely in the jungles of the Philippines.
And the real thrill of Mirechal Lyautey, who with infinite wisdom and patience has been 'building up the French Empire in Africa for a fifth of a century, was found in his living quarters.
"As one of his alces led me through his house," said Mr. Davies, "we entered a rodm where filling cases and two big flat-topped desks heaped with papers were the conspicuous furniture. They told me it was the Marechal's bedroom. But I had to look a second time before, tucked away in a corner. I saw the modest cot of an officer on field service. Lyautey has a habit of napping and working indiscriminately. Three o'clock of morning or afternoon is all the same to him. He lives his work instead of living with it or for it merely."
Marechal Lyautey, sturdy old warrior, was particularly keen to show the American visitor the limited system of public schools and institutions of learning which are his most cherished creations, in the land of the Moors. Mr. Davies did not expect to be interested by them. But his more fundamental curiosities were deeply pricked by what he saw.
The two-chief of these institutions are at Fez and Rabat. They were designated to supplement instead of supplant the Moslem "common schools" of the country, where a traditional and empty sort of literacy is acquired through parrotlike repetitions and copyings of the Koran. Attendance at the French schools is permissive instead of compulsory, and only the chooser spirits among the younger generation are selected to attend them. For Marechal Lyaute has never been among those who believe that what is wholesome pabulum for Western minds is necessarily just as good for Orientals.
"I did not learn," Mr. Davis confessed, "what principle of selection is followed. Nor can I foretell whether the introduction of Western educational material, methods and ideals will result in the same outcumpiling of half-baked intellectuals which has sprouted in some other countries. But I should think it would take longer to disturb Morocco than Egypt, India, China or Japan. The Berbers and tribesmen are pretty deeply rooted in their Islamic outlook on the world. They are, by the way and contrary to common impression, decidedly sturdy individuals, and if the French train them in Western ways the Moor is likely, sooner or later, to take charge of his own country."
Asked a stock question—"What was the strangest thing you noted in Morocco?"—Mr. Davis pointed out that the question was meaningless unless circumstantial.
"In a foreign land," he observed, "one goes through three distinct stages of impression. First comes the feeling of how different it all is from home. Next, on closer acquaintance, comes the sense of how like it is after all. Life everywhere is pretty much the same old thing. And finally, as one becomes seasoned and oriented, one runs against the fundamental differences which set races and cults apart."
"As for instance," suggested the interviewer, "the Republican and Democratic cults of our own country are set apart?"
"Somewhat in the same way," Mr. Davis agreed. "Though there are a great many shades of meaning in both terms. The party labels do not accurately place many of their adherents any more than does the description of them as conservatives and radicals. A man may be intensely conservative in his outlook on one question and very radical in his view of another. I think possibly the broadest general division is between authoritarianism and libertarianism. The Republican is the soft of man who naturally drives toward authority—likes to be disciplined and regulated—wants to have somebody else do his thinking for him. The natural Democrat wants to do his own thinking, a trait that makes the party troops very difficult to handle as a unit, because of the multitude of captains and comparative purity of privates.
"But, he added with some abruptness, 'I do not want to talk about current political developments and problems in the United States. The longer I live the less respect I have for immigrant words, so which is in mind when definitions knowledge, that a sense of ordinary living is a bit shy about opening up much unnecessarily. Let me just be more."

farmer brings about when, for example, he ingraffit a scion from one apple tree on the stock of another. In the ancient Mohammedan city of Algiers, for instance, they tried to implant a completely French Algiers a modern Gallin city. That graft did not 'take' completely, and in general their Algierian experiment in penetration, and particularly in the implantation of purely French colonies in the country, cannot be said to have been as fruitful as they hoped when they began.
"In Morocco, it seemed to me, they have resorted to the much more subtle process of producing an admixture of ideas and cultures which a chemist might describe as osmosis—that is, to say, infiltration through a frankly recognised barrier of difference in outlook and tradition. When they decided, for instance, to build the French city units set down beside but apart from the ancient communities where the muerszin call from the minarets at dawn and dusk and in the middle of the night—dramatic alarm clocks, let me tell you! The spread of French industrialism into the streets set apart for the goldsmiths and perfusers and armorers will take place by contagion of ideas and slowly, if it takes place at all."
Would not a similar osmotic process, he was asked, be an excellent way to wean the hidebound Republican from his authoritarianism?
Mr. Davis let a smile be his answer to the question.
"Another interesting experience that came to me over there in North Africa," he observed blandly, "was taking tea with a benign old gentleman who had four wives and forty concubines. He seemed to me to have thrived on, or in spite of, his comp. marital status."
Again there came to mind the thought of a possible parallel in the political layout in America. But with another of those fashion smiles of his Mr. Davis dismissed the opportunity to point a moral and adorn a tale. One recalled then his having served his term as Ambassador at St. James's Court.
"Morocco," he remarked, closing the interview, "is really a very interesting place just now."
More Jews in Bronx Than In Six Nations, Says Wise
ATLANTIC CITY.—There are more Jews in the Bronx alone than in France, Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Sweden and Italy, according to a declaration by Rabbi Stephen Wise, addressing the Independent Order of Binai Brith, in convention here last week.
There are a million and a half Jews in New York City, he said, comprising one-tenth of the entire Jewish population of the world. The congestion of Jewish areas in New York has created a problem of vital importance to the future of the Jewish race, he declared, and concluded by urging the support of the Zionist movement.
The convention endorsed the Jewish Homeland movement, but refused to support the Zionist movement politically.
HARLEM ROUNDERS MUSICAL HIT AT LAFAYETTE, OPENS
Galaxy of Stars Begin Monday in One of the Biggest Musical Sensations Ever Presented in Harlem
"Harlem Rounders," one of the greatest musical sensations ever, presented on any stage, will make its initial bow to the theatrecore of Harlem at the Lafayette Theatre on Monday, February 23. A brilliant array of stars to make up this stellar attraction, which, with beautiful new and dazzling costumes, elaborate stage settings and scent-effects, have cost the producers a handsome sum, ranging high in the thousands.
J. Rosamond Johnson and his band, who have been creating a riot on the Keith Gleitw, Able Mitchell, prima donna, the international songbird: Billy Higgins, clever comedian: Florence McClain, Gulfport and Brown, laugh producers of the first water, with songs: Peat, and Brown, singers and dancers; Dewey Wineglass and his dancing demons, a bunch of lively steppers; the Southern Four, a male quartet of harmonists; Kitty Brown and Elio Bennett, songbirds with pleasing voices, are the cast which is supported by a snappy, fast-stepping beauty chorus.
The music is by J. Rosamond Johnson, while the production is staged by Frank Montgomery.
Matinees will be given Monday (February 23 - holiday), Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, with the usual evening performances, including the midnight show Friday.
The prices for matteine are 35c. and 50c. and for evenings 35c. 50c. 75. and 99c. with no advance in prices. The management also states that an attraction which was presented at the playhouse a short time ago raised the prices much against their will. Lovers of high-class musical comedy should not fall to see this great production.
Relish dishes divided into compartments for holding pickles, radishes, nuts and such things are much more popular than individual containers.
The full flower of duplicity will appear when German salesmen wax enthusiastic about their newly discovered near beer.
That cflap who says eloquence is a lost art should hear the average man when the furnace goes out.

OUR WOMEN and WHAT THEY THINK-Edited by Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey
GARVEY IN PRISON BUT GARVEYISM AT LARGE
GARVEY is in prison—the tiger is bagged; the lion is caged, according to his enemies. They have wired the Warden of the Federal Penitentiary, Atlanta, Ga., to ascertain if he is really behind the high stone walls of the prison; if he is treated like any other Negro in a Southern prison, and the answer comes back, Yes. Some Negroes (who sell their newspapers, not on their merits, but on the mere mention of Garvey's name) had five-inch deep headlines in red on their front page. "Garvey Safely Behind Bars," and "Garvey, in Prison, Loses Identity." The carefully laid scheme "to get Garvey" is successfully accomplished. Rewards are already distributed, and toasts are drunk in honor of the greatest capture of the age. Now that the hysteria is all over, one asks, "Are Garvey's enemies satisfied?" No. They have found out that in their effort to brand Garvey as a criminal, they have made him a martyr. Instead of destroying the Universal Negro Improvement Association by publishing malicious news about it, they have advertised it throughout the length and breadth of the world. In their attempt to disrupt the membership of the organization they have cemented the members together in a closer bond of fellowship and created new friends for the organization among both races. They conjured up in their minds a picture of Marcus Garvey shackled with head bowed down and tears streaming from his eyes, cursing fate for his predicament, or cursing himself for being a fool to have tried "the impossible," and they gloated over the thought of such a picture realized; but how different was the reality. Garvey was shackled, its true, but his head was erect, his eyes bright and sparkling; he smiled to his followers and said, "I expected all this and more; it is the price that one pays for leadership of reform. Carry on until I return."
Garveyites all over the world, instead of being ashamed of the picture of their leader shackled to a white marshal, have framed same and point with pride to it and say to their children, "That's the price he paid because he dared to teach us to say 'Africa for the Africans, those at home and those abroad.'"
Garvey's enemies staged a big play, but it was crudely acted. The plot was too evident from the beginning of the play. The characters put too much personal feeling in acting their parts. Each character acted, not in keeping with the play, but changed the play in an effort to vent their spleen on the "villain." Hence, the "villain" received the applause and sympathy of an admiring multitude. Something was rotten in Denmark, and the world knows it now.
Marcus Garvey, during the last seven years, made every effort to spread his doctrine far and wide, knowing not the day nor the hour when he would be taken from his followers. He caught the ears of Negroes in every nook and corner of the globe, and now, that they have imprisoned Garvey in the physical, the spirit of Garvey or Garveyism goes steadily marching on.

WOMEN hold an important place in the affairs of life. Without their help there would be more hitches than there are.
Woman has what we would call a sixth sense, intuition; if it were not for their sixth sense, the men would plunge more deeply in the mire of mistakes, than they do. What great man has ever done any profitable thing without the help of some good woman? We put stress on the good part, as there is nothing nobler than a good woman and nothing worse than a bad woman. However great a thing may be, or whatever other men are consulted; even if it is clandestinely done, bank on it, there is a woman in the case before all consultations come to a close.
During the great World War, who held up the home end? Who administered to the many ghastly wounds received on the field of battle? Then you hear folks say, "The poor, weak, nervous women!" If nerve isn't needed in a hospital, where the slightest hitch may cause death, then where is it needed?
There are men who are great economists, but where did they first get their idea? Either taught by mother, an older sister or a woman who was interested in them. Men even start the day with some woman, they seldom wake without the wife, or housekeeper calling them in time for their work. When they are leaving for another city or country they are bound to forget some necessary thing.
The women of the United Negro Improvement Association have done great things toward the progress of the organization. They have worked faithfully and untimely in their efforts to make it all a success. When something is wanted in an emergency, a woman is ready, and willing, but a man always has some flimsy excuse, or it is too much bother.
Women have one of the greatest virtues, that is, patience. Disappointments, they say, are good for the soul; they serve as a lesson to the next thing. In plainer words, women are more prone to profit from their mistakes than men. No wonder women are called "jewels," as a good jewel is a rare thing. If our girls could only know what it means to a man to be all that is good and noble, they would cease to be so frivolous. If there is any thing a man detests it is a fickle woman. The best proof is they always seek the best and finest for wives, even if they do not always come up to the high calling.

THE HAITIAN GIRL
The Haytian girl is the biological product of African, Spanish and French forbears, with a remote strain of Indian blood coursing through. Close personal contact with the French during four centuries of slavery followed by the unlimited opportunity for self-expression made possible by more than a century of political independence and sovereignty have fostered to the limit the development of the peculiar traits derived from those several ancestors. Reared for the most part in local conventional schools, and initiated at Paris in the arts and mysteries of feminine elegance, the Haytian girl has developed a personality of charm and distinction that is singularly captivating.
In giving such a fattering description of the Haytian girl, I wish it to be understood that I am not expressing a purely personal appreciation of the subject under discussion, but the consensus of universal verdict both European and American. Time and space do not allow us to quote names and newspaper articles; but the facts are borne out, we think, by the innumerable international marriages that our girls have contracted. Such marriages are an every-day occurrence and have been so for nearly three quarters of a century. Moreover, these international marriages have not been restricted to the elite; quito a few peasant girls, just one generation removed from the soil, have been led to the altar by allons. As a rule, the allons who go there marry with girls who are their social equals. Consequently the girls of our social elite have inter-married with merchants, scholars and diplomatics of various nationalities; some have married into the French nobility. It is a significant fact not one case in a thousand has resulted in a divorce.
A European who goes to Hayti self-delom, if ever, chooses, to return home to select a bride. And yet it is not an easy matter to gain admission into a Hayti home. A mere introduction will not do it. Where his family is concerned, a Hayti of the cultured class holds new comers at arms length until he has studied him thoroughly. In the meantime, he does his entertaining at public clubs and hotels. When at last an alien has been admitted into the privacy of the home, and he falls in love with one of the daughters, oh, the formality and etiquette to which he has to conform.
Foreign residents in Haytill have sometimes reported to their friends that there is great need for domestic science in that count. This statement must not be taken unwisely. It refers exclusively to women and girls of the lower classes who usually go about offering their services as domestic help. Coming from aquaid homes, or from public schools where such training does not exist, they are truly incapable and inefficient. But it is not so in the better classes. The women are very capable home-makers, skilled in French culinary arts, fine dressmakers and wonderful embroiderers and face-makers. The talent for embroidering is shared by girls of all classes in fact, and is directly or indirectly attributable to the presence of the nuns on that island.
Intellectually our girls compare favorably with their sisters abroad. Willie they manifest an instinctive dialike for certain professions or avocations, which they consider more fitting to the stronger sex, they willingly embrace commerce, teaching, nursing, chemistry, etc. Their great fault is that they are too self-centered. One might wish to see them make up to the necessity of engaging in activities for the social uplift to their sisters of the working classes. A start has been made in that direction, but the movement has not yet gathered sufficient impetus to make itself felt as a national force. Until this is done, our girls may well consider themselves remails, both in their Christian- and civic duties. However, there are indications that this attitude of indifference will be eventually overcome.

PEOPLE GO TO CHURCH FOR DIFFERENT REASONS
Written for The Negro World
BY VIRGINIA WESTON
I have been asked by some of my readers many questions about the church. Being an ex-organist, the questions were very interesting. One in particular was asked me, to give more than one reason why people go to church. That is very easy. An organist has a wonderful chance to study the congregation while the minister delivers the sermon.
Some folks go for actual holy worship, they give their soul, mind, heart and voice to God. I mention voice particularly, because most of the singing is left for the choir to do. Some pray for the recovery of a sick relative or friend; some give thanks for past blessings. Then some go to hear the Word of God as the minister chooses to discuss it.
There are a few of our physicians who use the church as their clientele and know positively nothing or cure what the minister is even trying to say. They give freely of their money, which generally means a public announcement, and that is the best advertisement they could have.
Not only physicians, but others in the professional life, but there are the few earnest professionals who really worship.
We have our fashionable women who wish to announce that they have a new wrap or bonnet, "watch my apparel, not what I put on the table," is the attitude they give.
The young happer has a new shell, and wishes to show the members of the Willing Workers the result of her work.
Then there is Mrs. Hoosho, who is bustly confined with her business, and comes once a month to have her name read out as to the amount she has given for her auxiliary.
The music lovers sit comfortably with eyes shut, enjoying both the strains of the organ and the choir voices. Good music well rendered is about as heavenly to the auditory as a new born babe is to its mother, good music completes a service.
Some of our older writers could probably give many more reasons, but if you are fair with yourself, you will know to which class you belong, and I trust that it is either to the first or to the last. An organ renders worship by his or her strains on the organ, the choir renders worship by their voices. I also hope that this article won't be misunderstood, but enjoyed, as some of my others have been.
It is a very consulting thing to the writer to receive a word of courtesy as to how it affected the reader, as some article affects someone in some part of the world, somewhere.
Religion to my mind is a very delicate question, and I am only stating the different reasons why people go to church. Churches are interesting topics of the day. In New York City, Bishop Manning is asking every man, woman and child in the United States to contribute to the wonderful St. John's Cathedral. In Mexico they are building one, and they want people from all over the world to contribute, the United States quota has been named. Oh, that there were as many souls saved as there are dollars spent.

Nietzsche said, "A profound man can only like the orientals consider woman as property whose predestined mission is domesticity." "One of the most deplorable things in woman is the desire for emancipation." I have quoted Nietzsche because he echoes so truthfully the expressed and often unexpressed sentiment of the majority of the masculine element. The words are "property," "domosticity" and "emancipation." In the past man regarded woman as his personal property.
Then woman began to feel a vague undeafness stirring in her consciousness. Perhaps it was the arrogant spirit that the race felt when it ceased crawling on all-fours. Woman began to assert herself. Man found her harder to dominate. Instead of knocking her down with a club man began lying to her and he has been lying to her ever since. He began by adoring her weakness. He told her she was inable, unequal to the great battle of life. He would be her protector, he would shield her from all adversity. A man will protect a woman from every other man but himself.
Nietzsche said that woman a predeined mission is domestically. Man after man echoes, "Woman's place in the home." There is a conspiracy to be unduly sentimental about love and marriage. There has been a lot of sentimental "nap doodle" about woman and the home. Let us forget customs and foolish sentiment and look at the unwarnished truth. A woman in the home is engaged in the pursuit of domestic duties. She renders service to her household. She receives no regular salary. She isn't a lawyer, nor a judge, nor a teacher, nor a social worker. What is she economically? Her economic status is that of an unpaid domestic servant. The census report of women returning themselves as engaged in domestic duties (being unpaid) were listed as not gainfully employed. The value of women in the home

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 poor, unhealthy scalp and dull lifeless hair. It has been proven that MADAM C. J. WALKER'S WONDERFUL HAIR PREPARATIONS are directly opposed to harmful germ life, that they attack only diseased tissues, tend to keep the scalp free from dandruff and itch, allay falling hair, enrich the scalp, stimulate growth and make for long lustrous hair.

has been ignored. I know there has been much said of her extreme importance of being there. It seems that society senses she is not as content there. she might be and needs a little encouragement to be induced to remain.
A woman in the home is an object of charity in a man's estimations. She takes what he condescends to give her. "It is I who protects her, sustains her, feeds her. It is I." He mounts a few steps higher and almost breaks his arm putting himself on his back. If he boys her a dress annually and gives her 50 cents every other week, he considers himself in the receiving line for congratulations.
A man is not showering any gifts upon his wife when he supports her. He is simply paying a very small price for value received. It is the men that marry for a home. They want a place to change their clothes so they can go out again.
They want someone to be waiting, when they come in. They want a cook, a dishwasher, a laundress, a valet, a scrub woman, a nurse, a butler, a sock darner, and a wife all in one. Killing two birds with one stone pales into insignificance. Men marry and kill ten birds with one stone. Nietzsche says that woman's desire for emancipation is deplorable. I draw two inferences from his statement. Nietzsche acknowledges: woman is in bondage as only slaves can be emancipated. He deplores the fact that woman wishes to be free. Do you know why women are restless? Do you know what women

Just at present we are a little intoxicated with "this freedom." Too much rouge, too much drinking and cigarette smoking. To attain freedom some women think that they must apa the vices of men. Men can never be used as a pattern for women. To be free a woman must live her own life to the greatest advantage to herself and to society.

Men like change more than women. For a man to snatch at a passing temptation does not mean he is trying to reach the love he prefers. A woman in a man's arms is not necessarily the woman in a man's heart. If more engaged couples would lay all their cards upon the table, instead of hiding half of them up their sleeves, there would be fewer understandings and heartaches. This old would need love. Love that is tender but firm, love that is strong enough to hug when necessary. People have assigned various reasons for the increase in divorces. Divorces will continue to increase until there is some adjustment made in the marriage relationship.

TELA DIVISION
TELA, Honduras C. A., Feb. 8. Across the Carribean waters flashed the news that Emilio Theleme was dead. This news came from Kingston, Jamaica, B. W.1, within a month after the deceased had left these shores for recuperation of his health, and to settle down in the Isle of Springs. Born about 57 years ago in the island of Guadaloupe, a French possession in the West Indies, Emilio Theleme had the general makeup of the true spirit of democracy, cosmopolitanism and racial consciousness, which inspired him to be magnanimous, generous and genial. He was 100 per cent. a Negro, and stood for the highest ideals of Negro rights even before the advent of the U. N. I. A. He was well read in Negro history, having had the advantage of a French education, the policy of which is well known to be more truthful, and unblessed towards Negro history, than that of any other society power to which Negroes are subjected. It was pleasurable to converse with him, on matters pertaining to the Negro race. Resourceful and tact, he was always prepared to meet all comers, white or black, on subjects affecting the Negro. He was one of the ablest supporters of our local, being always ready to contribute his quota to an, call; but due to his occupation, he was impractical to have had him identified with the executive staff. In the demise of such a brother, humanity has lost a real exponent of the principles of our organization as is characterized in the expression, "The Brotherhood of Man." He was a friend to all, an enemy to none, and a free giver by example of his charitable disposition to the needy.
The news was received in Tela with profound regret on every side. The division held a memorial service, as a last tribute to the deceased's fellowship amongst us, on Sunday, January 10, at 7 p. m. There was quite a large attendance. Mr. A. O. Waite, president of the division, conducted the service, and in a masterly manner delivered an address from Chronicles, v. 10, and the 36th Psalm, 5th verse. He was followed by ex-Commissioner Thorp, who enlisted on the life of the deceased, as he knew him, and urged his hearers to enclave such noble characters of our race. The following resolution was duly introduced and adopted unanimously.
"Resolved. That this division, of the U. N. I. A. go on record in expressing its profoundest regret and extending its sincere condolence to the bereaved, on the demise of our beloved brother, Emilio Thelme, who departed this life in the island of Jamaica, B. W. I. on the 6th day of January, A. D. 1825, and that as a token of our expressed sympathy, a copy of this resolution be filed in the archives of this division, one be sent to the bereaved relatives of deceased, and one to the Negro World for publication". A five minutes of silence with bowed heads was then observed, during which time three stanzas of the hymn, "When Our Heads Are Bowed," are sung. The following persons then gave brief addresses in connection with the life of the deceased: Messrs. E. A. Vernal, J. W. H. Dyer and I. Smole, as also Mrs. Ann Eden. The deceased leaves a wife and other relatives to mourn their irreparable loss. The service then closed with the singing of a hymn and the pronouncing of the benediction by the chapel.
Thur ends the career of a noble heart and a prince of the "Sons of Haim." May his soul rest in peace.

BARTLE, CUBA
On Sunday evening, February 8, we held a flower service in our Liberty Hall. The meeting commenced at 3 o'clock with the singing of the opening site, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains." The chair was occupied by the chaplain, J. E. Richarda. After brief remarks of welcome by the chairman, wishing the audience a successful year, the program of the evening, which consisted of songs, recitations and solos, followed. The hall was nicely decorated with flowers appropriate to the occasion. The platform, too, was adorned with colors, including the Cuban and American flags on either side of the platform with the Ethiopian flag in the center.
Much credit is due Mr. Richard Panton, our organist, as also Bld Halley, our choirmaster, and Mrs. Maud Hibbert, who volunteered to arrange the splendid service of the afternoon.
We assembled again in Liberty Hall at 7 p.m. for our mass meeting, which was called to order by the chaplain with the singing of the opening ode followed by prayer and the reading of a passage of scripture.

"It is just two months since he took charge of our division then on the verge of collapse. His was a thankless and unenviable task. The road was rough and rocky, but our president was game. He had been a soldier in those hectic days of 1914-1918, consequently he knew no retreat. A proper house cleaning was necessary for the future life of the division. 'Corruption in office, greed and disrespect for the Constitution were gagged. Only one school in the ways of the association could have grappled with these obstacles and emerged amid the plaudits of the people. It was the acid test of leadership and our president was the victor. Where chaos and confusion, once reigned there is now law and order.
The imprisonment of the president-general brought out the stuff of which young heroes are made. Our president rallied the combined forces of members, traitors, and weaklings, the gloom which seemed settled over Liberty hall hated before his courage and ingenuity. The membership, conscious of a hero at the helm, followed where he led. Every appeal coming from the parent body is liberally responded to. We are determined to hold fast. Our eyes are fixed steadfastly on the star of African liberty. We have no time to weep over the incarceration of the president general, we are too busily engaged co-operating with the Committee of Management and Mrs. Garvey for his early release. In the face of criticism and treachery we remain loyal to the cause of African uplift.
Our installation of officers took place Sunday, the 15th instant, followed by a banquet. Music was furnished by the East Liberty band. Among the visitors were the president and lady president of Breslau division, the President of Hammersdale division and Indians from Bradford. It was one of the most brilliant ceremonies ever performed in Liberty Hall. The participating committee, headed by Mrs. Pattie Burper and Mrs. Marie Carpentier, is to be commended for its good work.

Satisfecho en su encerramiento, nuestro presidente alienta
con su mensaje a los miembros de la organización
Nuestra raza la mas sufrida por su debilidad
Acumulemos fuerza y demandemos respeto—Aquellos
que se ensañan por medio de la venganza desa-
parecerán—Viven para si mismos sin preocuparles los
sufrimientos de los demás
Concludanos de mi raza:
Me satisface grandemente el poderles enviar desde mi celda de prisonero, un mensaje de amor y de alegria. Me siento feliz en sufrir por la causausta de la liberación del negro, e ello me anima al saber que vosotros continuais de manera tan esplendida, sosteniendo siempre en lo alto, la antorcha iluminaria que yo llevara en qui peregrinación, defendiendo nuestro ideales.
Manteneos firme, resolutos: dades pues vuestra ayuda a aquellos a quienes he designado para guiar los derrrotores de esta gran organization. No deje que se os lame cobardes en este siglo cuando las exigencias actuales requieren todo lo que hay en vosotros de hombre, de mujer, para afianzar nuestras piciones todas. Manteneos firme, os repito; concentrad toda vuestra atención y todas vuestras energias en el gran objetivo por conseguir. Esta es la hora de calificaricos cada cual como verdaderos hombres, como verdaderas mujeres de lucha y de abnegación. Mantened incolume el rojo, negro y verde, por encima de la ceguedad de la critica y de la envidia de los periodicos de la raza que nos mortifican y nos desacreditan.
La fotografia que viera la luz pública, donde aparezco yo atadas mis manos por un par, de esposas aceradas, a la de un hombre blanco representativo del gobierno. Trua una viva exposición de odio; lanzada a Jos cuatro vientos por todos los periodicos de ambas razas, reproducida esta pelicula en todas partes en este país, y fuera del contingente, como prueba humillante para mi. Preservad esa escena; cortal esa fotografia y colgadla en las paredes de vuestros hogares, con un recuerdo silencioso del hecho nefando, consumado en plena luz civilizadora en el año 1925.
Os llamo poderosamente la atención al extracto de uno de mis discursos, que recientemente pronuncie en mi propaganda. El mundo esta repleto de mala injusticia, y la continuação de este estado erroneo de cosas, transformara nuestra civilización y nuestra vida, mas alla de nuestro propio reconocimiento. En escala "obligata irenos cambiando el regimen zarista, kaiserismo, monarquia, republicanismo y sovietismo y Dios solamente sabe donde irenos a parar, y cual sistema de gobierno nos cobijara entonces. Toda esta gradación politico social obedeca a la consecución de más justicia; mas no obstante todas estas variantes tendientes a nivel尔 el mundo y establecerse así un equilibrio permanente, para que el hombre encuentre su anhelada justicia; así con todo este avance en lo politico y en lo social, vemos que nos encontramos cada yez más lejos de ese ideal tan buscado y tan deseado para nuestra satisfacción propia.
Si examinamos el sistema político social de Inglaterra, encontramos su pueblo dividido en muchas clases; luchando entre si bajo la creencia de que el crimen de injusticia se practica contra ellas y esto mismo sucede en Francia, en Italia y en America. Asi como venios la laucha de injusticia entre clases, también venios el mismo proceso bochorno entre las razas. Nadie ignora el hecho de que lo injusto de una raza para con los japoneses les ha hecho agenteirse, y por lo tanto guardan cecelo, estan inquieto y guardan venganza por el trato aspero a que han sido sometidos. Lo mismo le pasa al indu y el negro ultimamente con su dolores y sus martirilogios, pasa por iguales duras pruebas. Tanto el japones como el indu y el negro, llegaran a una unión de espiritu y desarrollaran por lo tanto una nueva civilización y un nuevo ideal.
Como raza, nadie sufre tanto la inficción de la injusticia como nosotros. Ese peso inhumano gravita sobre nosotros en todas las esferas de la vida; político, social, industrial, educacional, comercial, judicial y hasta religiosamente, como跃着 apasar de adorar un mismo Dios, quign en sus altos designis nos creo a todos iguales, sin fijarse en matices ni preeminencia alguna en su obra magnificente y equilibrante, todo amor, todo bondad y todo justicia. Por espacio, de trecientes años, el negro ha voceado su protesta contra el crimen de injusticia a que se la ha sometido, y esta es la hora en que nada ha alcanzado; no se le ha oído en su derecho, y esta su situación en el mismo estado que cuando diera su primer grito.
En el orden general de las cosas, los debiles somos los mas oprimi-
dos por el crimen de injusticia establetado. Por ley de conveniencias,
el hombre fuerte tiende a la presión del desafortunado. La situación
toda descansa y parece desarrollarse así, por la cantidad de fuerza que
aporte el individuo, la raza de la nación en orden progresivo. Contando
como verdad es practicismo impuesto por el orden de cosas existentes,
la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra predica y
propaga la unión entre los negros, para la defensa tanto del individuo,
como de la comunidad, como de la raza en general. Si desea tenser
justicia, es necesario seamos fuertes; si debemos ser fuertes, se
impone el que nos agrupemos, y para que nos agrupemos solamente
pomos hacerlo por medio del sistema de organización.
Cuando los bretones estuvieron débiles y divididos, ellos sufrieron
de la misma manera; pero con la unión se lleva vias de-hecho su fortaleza,
y con la fuerza-vino la justicia nacional y con ello la justicia que
les asistía como raza, como pueblo, como humanidad. Lo mejor que
nosotros podemos hacer es laborar por apresurar el tiempo, en que vendramos
a componer un piedo unido y fuerte, capaz por nuestra fortaleza,
nuestro actos y nuestro caracter, demandar no simpatia pero justicia de
todos los hombres, razas y naciones del globo. No perdamos tiempo en
apelaciones vanas a los poderosos, mientras débiles; ma aprovechemos
cada minuto, cada hora de nuestro tiempo, en usar las energías y todo
esfuérno en acumular mejor acerción en nutrir nuestro bando, hacer
compactas nuestras filas y uniendonos entre si, y voluntariamente atrae-
reles la atención de propios y extraños.
Johnson, Willa, Firpo y otros tantos atraen la atención de los hombres, porque cuatos gigantes del banco han desarrollado sus cuerpos y sus musculos a un nivel de cultura, tal que se protejete por al solos contra los ataques de su rivale, y son imunos en su clase y profesión. Inglaterra, Francia, Japón y Norte America strana la atención de otras naciones por su podio militar y naval; y el negro puede solamente huercer sentir, er respetir, humar la atención del resto de la humanidad en su fronde recolectivamente de justicia y sana consideración, cuando saluimos puede presumer ante el mundo lo que relientas cuenta en el humano que desea huercer sentir, ya que se muestra sordo al rumor de las另 humanidades y nuestro idealismo que usamos destruir.
The number of days that the government has to pay for the construction of a new office, including the building of a new office, has been increased.

RETROGACION
Cuando nuestra queria isla de Cuba gemia bajo el yugo opresor del feroz colonizador, y sus hijos valientes, lanzaron el gitorio grito de independencia o muerte, fue un Maceo, un Moncada, un Rabi, un Pedro Diaz, un Crombet, un Quinton Bandera y otros tantos los primeros de sus hijos en responder a aqiul grito sublime, que-conquiste más tarde la libertad de esta tierra, la cual es mismos heroes regaron varias veces con su sagrada sangre.
Con el filo del machite y expuestos al peligro de las balas, aquellos gloriosos caudilidos nos conquistaron una bandera que es hoy el orgullo de las Americas; una bandera a culos agregarron ellos el rojo de su sangre. Alla en Cacahual, Antonio Maceo, aquel valiente cuyo gesto impercederon tronchi el ardor beliclo de las huestes españolas, quizo darnos un ejemplo de como debian proseguir el bello senderel del progreso los cubanos una vez conquistada su libertad yayendo, como cuajo, unido en fraternal abrazo a su ayudante el capitan Francisco Gomez Toro. Maceo, sin duda alguna, fué la primera figura de nuestra epopeya libertadora; el fué nuestro principal libertador y debido a sus esfuerzos y a su incuestionable patriotismo, el triunfo fué concuistado por las gloriosas tropas cubanas.
Y Antonio Maceo era negro, aquel Maceo, al negro cuya memoria perdudara en la mente de nuestros generaciones al traves de los siglos, y cuyo gozo subline pertu el marmol, no tuvo reparo al combatir por la sacrosanta libertad de esta bendita tierra. Antonio Maceo no reconoció colores: lo miso el blanco que el negro, todos hallan protegencia en sus brazos y todos recibían justicia por igual: las propiedades de los blancos eran celosamente-cuidadas por las tropas de Maceo, y cuandó siguiendo los designios de la suerte y las ordenes de la ley militar, atacaba un pueblo para rescatar de las manos de los españoles, no le creutupa si aquel pueblo era habitado por blancos o por negros.
A Maceo le guiaba el inmenso amor a esta tierra; el buscaba solamente la libertad de su nación y no la libertad de una clase determinada de la sociedad cubana. Este pensamiento sublime de nuestro grandioso heroe era también el sentimiento patrio de Marti, aquel apostol de la independencia que ofrendó su vida persiguiendo su realizacion. Cuando los cubanos se lanzaon a la manigua para conquistar nuestra bandera, no existian entonces ni blancos ni negros; solo habian cubanos. Todos aquellos corazones latian al poderoso impulso del anhelo de libertad, y negros y blancos combatieron, juntos por conquistar un derecho y por restablecer el imperio sacratisimo de la democracia.
Pasaron los tiempos; ya en nuestra floreciente isla flamea gallarda la sublime bandera conquistada, y ya todos los corazones sienten el intenso regocijo que produce la libertad.. Muchos espera que la democracia, esa democracia por la cual dieron su sangre; esa democracia por la cual cayeron muchos, impere entre los cubanos. Pero, ah cruel realidad! La democracia ha sido una palabra vana y la libertad un mito.
Nuestra carta fundamental confiere igual derecho a los ciudadanos todos, mas es mandato se vulnera esas palabras esculpidas en nuestra Constitución con la sangre gloriosa de Maceo, de Marti y de otros tantos libertadores, es letra muerta, no se cumple. En Santa Clara, elementos equivocados, ignorantes de los precaptos constitucionales, con gesto provocativo y lleno de ilama altivez, han tenido la incalificable osadia de impedir que elementos de la raza negra ejercen el libre derecho de transitar por un parque público, por un parque enclavado sobre la mismisima tierra que Maceo rego con su sangre.
Sobre ese mismo gesto mesquino impropio de hombres cultos, debieron los cubanos no blancos de la ciudad de Santa Clara, levantar su voz, reclamar un derecho, como no lo han hecho nunca, e ir también a pasearse junto a los elementos blancos, porque ellos en Santa Clara, pascandose aparte, han dado prueba de su amor a este país. Y sun restringiendo sus derechos, legítimamente conquistados, otros elementos no están conformes..... Y que hacé el negro en Santa Clara al negarsele su derecho? Ah, lector amable, aquí se detiene mi pluma!
El gesto digno que caracterizo a aquellos niños parabélis, no estalló en esta acación. Al valor inolúmito de igual luchador, asoció-en este grandeza del que cabaría inigual. Número climate en Santa Clara.
clase representativa y que es atima de cultura, erroneamente tuvo el debil gesto de someterse a las exigencias de unos cuantos envilecidos, y con sus nanos trémilas, firmaron, un acta en la cual hacían poco precio de su derecho.
El Secretario de Gobernación no podia tolerar aquella violación a nuestra carta fundamental; no podia permitir que en esta Republica, soberanamente libre, al hombre negro se le restricting la práctica de un derecho, y ataca lo que aquellos hombres sin conciencia a la libertad y sin amor a su clase, sin presiar la labor de emancipación y sintiendo nostalgias de la vil esclavitud, acordaron cumplir, manchando así el limpio historial de una raza. Pero aquel Secretario de gobernación era justo y manifesto que no podía exigir que lo acordado se practicase obligatoriamente, ya que en la Constitución de Cuba no se especifican colores y si ciudadanos.
El gesto civico y valiente que debio marcar pauta a la generation presente, fue solamente humillante suplica. ¿Donde estamos? En que pais vivimos los cubanos? Contestadue por favor, señor Casanovas, vos que sentis en vuestro pecho la ardorosa llama de la verdad. El dolor me tortura: ¿Que hacéis, hombres de Cuba, permaneciendo mudos ante la actitud de aquellos que intentan quitaros un derecho? Busquemos el sendero del progreso; busquemos luz, mucha luz para iluminar el cerebro oscuro de esos hombres que se tienen por cultos y que se niegan a si mismo la razon.

Remedios, Cuba, febrero de 1925.
OPINION HONRADA
En uno de los editoriales del Boletin, reputado periodico local, lecmos. Su honrada opiión en referencia al proceso de nuestro honorable presidente, la cual es manifestada del siguiente modo:
Con grandes letras de molde ha sido annunciada la tal llamada captura de Marcus Garvey, a quien va se habla calificado como un fugitivo de la justicia. Hoy dia Garvey se lialla cumpliendo condirem en una prisión, pero ello no justifica la idea con que fueron culzadas las grandes letras de molde.
Cuando Garvey fue aprendido se hallaba en un tren con dirección a Nueva York, para presentarse ante las autoridades federales. Su regreso no era mignin secreto, y muy poca labor detectiva hubiera sido requerida para su apresión. Entonces, porqu la combinación y tamaño de las letras de molde a que hacemos referencia?
Marcus Garvey es negro; pero la verdad no reconoce colores o razas. Es lastimero que estas pubicaciones, que llean su columnas con parrafos de regocijo el 12 de febrero, fecha del natalicio de Abraham Lincoln, el gran emancipador norteamericano, no practican el significado de sus predicas. Garvey ha sido ridiculizado una y otra vez por ciertos periódicos, desde la llegada a esta ciudad. Hemos de admitir que no siendo infalible, haya cometido sus errores, pero tan bien ha llevado a la realización grandes cosas.
Nuestra publicación no quiere beneficie alguno al tratar esta cuestión, pero siguiente la linea reca del sentimiento humano debemos hacer justicia. Garvey ha ideado constituir una república en la tierra que debe ser propiedad y gobierno exclusivo del negro—su madre patria el Africa. Algin dia tal vez este ideal se vea realizado, y ella se vea libre del yugo opresor de Francia y de Inglaterra.
Estas naciones vieron en Garvey un agitador peligroso, quien guiaria a su pueblo por el camino hacia su emancipación, y por ello periodistas actuando según instrucciones de sus amos, le calificaron de timador. Si se hubiera dado la oportunidad, sus empresas comerciales hubieran tenido el exito apetecido,逸爱ado de ese modo la prueba desagradable que hoy experimenta.
Inglaterra está adoptando una actitud, más restrictiva sobre la cuestión inmigración, según afirmaciones del ministro del interior. Una representación de la colonia hebrea visito su secretaria para protear en contra de tal medida, obteniendo del ministro la siguiente manifestación: El goberno inglês tiene derecho de decir que no va a admitir más extranjeros en el país, y ello no es una actitud antisemita pues es aplicable a todos los extranjeros. Todo pámei tiene tal privilegio lo los Estados Unidos do America lo han ejecido muy ilimitamente durante los dos días afuera.

THE NEGRO CHURCH MEMBERSHIP AND THE VAST NEGRO MASSES
By:R..P. WRIGHT, JR.
The invitation to write an article, on "The Negro Church and the Negro Masses," comes at such a late and busy hour that I am sure I cannot do the subject justice. For there is no institution of a voluntary nature that reaches the Negro masses as does the church, and none is more effective than the Negro church. By the Negro Masses, the Negro Christians which are supported, and governed entirely or chiefly by Negroes themselves.
There are about twelve million Negroes in this country. While about two million go to schools, over five million are members of the church, and in all probability twice that number attend the church. While about 35,000 Negroes are engaged in the teaching profession, there are about 5,000 Negroes who work with the negro masses. If the Negro church were as careful in noting the "attendance" as are some social agencies, the "attendance" would far exceed 350,000,000 per year. It is no exaggeration to say that the attendance at all of the services of the Negro church in one week is more than 8,000,000, or two-thirds of the entire Negro population; and that at least 4,000,000 individual Negroes go to church at least one per week. The Negro masses, has but few in all of the Christiandom, and that is the Roman Catholic Church. For it is stated as a fact that the Negro church has a larger proportion of the laboring masses in its membership and attendance than any other Protestant church. This is because the Negro church represents the soul of the Negro masses as nothing else does. Were there no Negro church, the chances are the Negroes would be but little affected by Christianity as at present organized. Poster
Negro Church First to Enter Protest Against Discrimination
But, there is a history to this. The Negro filed a protest against the 'organized Christian Church in 1857 when Richard Allen and Absalom Jones walked out of St. George's Methodist Church in Philadelphia, because of what they believed to be racial discrimination. They organized respectively the Belt African Methodist Church in Chicago and the Protestant Episcopal Church of St. Thomas. Thus in his religion the Negro first organized a protest against nefarious racial discrimination. In 1816, by the co-operation of a number of individual Negro churches, the separate denomination of the African Methodist, Episcopal Church was formed and Richard Allen made its first bishop. Today it has members all over the Negro world—in every country, in every nation, in every Union, in Canada, West Indies, West and South Africa, South America, Mexico and elsewhere, and has twenty bishops. In 1850 the African Methodist Zion Church was formed and it has almost as large territory and membership, with twelve bishops. In 1870 the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church was formed, and now has ten bishops. During more than a hundred years independent Negro Baptists have grown to nearly two million. In the Methodists, have held aloft the doctrine of manhood in Christ and refused to preach that any of God's family should take a lower place than any others.
Today there are more than 45,000 Negro churches in America. They are found in nearly every community in the country where Negroes reside. It was my privilege to check up on the census of Negro churches in a large Southern State. I, personally visited more than a hundred communities and touched more than a thousand churches. Later I attempted to make a map of the churches of one denomination alone in that State, and found that there was no community which has life-church and communities had several different demotions. The most remote number and turcentine camp, as well as the thriving city is reached by the Negro church. Few indeed are the older communities that have no Negro church or mission.
Church Most Through Organization
The Methodist organizations with more than 40 kbhes, 500 presiding
others or district superintendents, more than 30,000 pastors, more than 50,000
then leaders and 100,000 Sunday school
superintendents, officers and teachers,
and a half million other church officers
and ministers, in a sturdy organization.
Add to these the Baptist organization
(which will not be compact and
efficient), in over larger and hence-
combe the country, and you see how the Negro church reaches the masses.
More every day in the year, nearly
every night in the year the Negro
church somewhere is reaching the
masses. And it is reaching not the
educated few but the great group of
illiterate as well. It goes where the
school does not go. And it is often the
only unwitting light, however dark, which
many of the suffering masses have had.
Church Blessed Thomas Shipp and
Association
The Church is to the school of the
religious organization of Shippings. It is
supported by Shippings. This year more
than 500,000 a year into high
schools and their teaching who are
educated, the group as they want it
to be well trained in the school.
the Negro has the greatest freedom of expression—a freedom such as he has anywhere else. Because the church represents his soul's longing, it is his, and he loves it and the proof that he loves it is that he supports it. This love for his church has been discounted and laughed at by those who have not read its deeper meaning but the world is beginning to recognize its value.
Church Great Economic Power
The Negro church is a great economic power. With the 144-70,000 it pays per year, it supports a least 290,000 people counting the ministers and their families. The Negro church has done a wonderful work in racial education. It has been the inspiration of thousands of young people who would not otherwise have looked upward. The Negro church has endeavored with the printed as well as the spoken word to reach and to inspire the masses. The oldest Negro newspaper in the country is that founded by a Negro church more than fifteen years before the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect. The oldest Negro magazines are published by the Negro church.
The oldest and largest Negro publishing houses; and for many years almost the only publishing houses conducted by Negroes, are conducted by the Negro church, and today the output of the church publishing houses in books and pamphlets is larger than the combined product of all other publishing houses of the race. The books which the Negro masses use are largely the publications sold by the agents of these publishing houses.
Negro Church and Education
Similarly the Negro church was a pioneer in Negro education, and today Wilberforce University, founded before Negroes-were emancipated in the South, ranks as one of the largest and best institutions of the race. Livingstone College by the A. M. E. Zion Church, Roger Williams by the Baptists, Lane College by the C. M. E. Church, one other, and scores of other institutions conducted by the Negro churches, financed and controlled by Negroes, are a partial answer of how the Negro churches reach the masses. Were it not for these and other church schools conducted by the Presbyterians, Congregationalists, Episcopalans, Catholics, and others, there would be but little education for Negroes beyond the elementary grades in many parts of the South.
The Negro church is not an ignorant as some outside of it would make believe. Some of the most learned as well as some of the most intelligent leaders the Negroes have, are their ministers. I believe the only Negro in America with a Ph.D, from a German university, is the president of a purely Negro university, and the son of a Negro bishop, while the only editor of a Negro weekly journal who holds a Ph.D, from a draft-class American university, has had the advantage of foreign study, and the editor of a Negro church paper. When you consider how the Negro church must cater to the masses you must be astonished at how high an estimate it has put upon education.
The Negro church has been foremost in individual initiative and community cooperation. The first cooperative thing the average Negro community was asked to do was to build a church. Not only have thousands of Negroes gotten religious training, but business training as well in the church—how to buy, build, collect funds, pay interest, vote, hold offices, hold community meetings, etc.
Money to Church for Uplift Not Wasted
Negroes have spent millions in church edifice. It is true they have also spent many more millions in saloons, but the largest community surplus the Negroes have anywhere in that represented by church property. The best buildings they have are their churches and schools. The economic discipline the Negro had to undergo to amass this $100,000,000 worth of church property has been one of the most important factors in the race progress. W. you consider that the Negro has spent more money for pleasure than for churches, more money for drink than for churches, and see what he has in every city and the country at large for his church contributions, you must be convinced that the church has been a wonderful constructive economic factor as well as religious factor. The Negro church with such a hold on the masses naturally in power its power in politics, industry, finance, etc. has been demonstrated. This has naturally emitted the jealousy of Negroes not directly connected with the church, and in mistaken soul they have often engaged it. No organization among Negroes has been attached more vigorously than the church. None have been held up to ridicule more. Naturally the prospect in play was the most practical so will be the most indolent. There will have the first business indentation. There will have great opposition in the hard, abusive business, etc. Many of these have still it is necessary to contend the contrary beginning in order to exert pressure there. However, employment opportunities have not it necessary to contend the contrary in order to get a plentiful job. He has obtained hard work in his job.
Burden of the church violates the time when the church can take active part in politics, finance, etc., and devote its great energies to the spiritual and moral problems of the race.
White Philanthropy is important of Church.
Because the Negro church enters in the Negro whites, and not, parties, early white whites, and not, parties, an anthropology of the country helps the value of the Negro church, and many well meaning people minister it. Because the Negro church expresses as does nothing else the Negro mind, those who do not know and appreciate the Negro soul and the Negro point of view deprate. deprate it. But if we are to have democracy we must know the soul of the Negro masses as well as other masses.
The leaders of the Negro church are remarkably efficient. They stand as leaders by popular choice, because they serve their masses. The Negro church leaders have no political or governmental backing financially. They are chosen by the people and hold their leadership at the pleasure of the people who willingly pay them. This is what the Negro newspaper, the Negro business man and others must do to succeed with Negroes. Among them are the most worthy of the most worthy—which is to be expected in a great army of workers such as the church has, but on the whole it is not possible to find a higher type of men and women than those consecrated to the work of the Lord.
Pioneer in Race Ideals
The Negro church has been the pioneer of race ideals. Ideally 30 years before Booker Washington was born the Negro church made a feeble effort to start a manual training school, and five years before DuBois was born the Negro church started a university. The Negro church has been many years training the adult masses of the race to assimilate the education of the fortunate few. Nearly every prominent Negro musician, artist, actor, or literary man got his early opportunities in the Negro church. Tanner, the son of an architect, the shop, taught in a church school to get children to go to Paris, and the religious note is "the chief thing in his painting." DuBois taught at Wilberforce when he left Harvard; and Rosemond Johnson got his first lift from the Florida Baptist Academy.
The Negro church has been the reef leader in forward movements. Before Marcus Garvey was born the Negro church in America had planted missions in Africa. The Negro church has grown the forum for Negro social economic agitation. When the white laborer could not discuss his labor problems from the white church pulpit, every Sunday the Negro's social problems were discussed from the Negro pulpit. He has learned to interpret his Bible from his point of view. Who do not think deeply misinterpret much of the Negro's preaching of today because he refuses to be Anglo-Saxonized, and because the Negro masses refuse to permit him to become. They call it ignorance because the Negro masses will not hear an Anglo-Saxonized theology, and the Anglo-Saxons have to pay those Negroes who do preach such a theology for the Negroes will not pay for it. Preaching to Negroes is one profession in which Negroes get their own patronage, because they excel all competitors in the kind of service they give. Perhaps the only line of work where it can be truthfully said that the Negro is superior to the white man in his preaching to Negroes.
Those who have studied Negroes superficially and only from an Anglo-Saxon point of view think this is because of ignorance only. Their grand-fathers thought "Steal Away" "Swing Low," "Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray," "Deep River," and like songs were ignorant mutterings of a slave people. They could not see the deep meaning of those old-time songs. But as in his songs in the days of slavery, so in his preaching in this day, the Negro is guided by a deep spiritual emotion which God alone bestows and man cannot fathom.
Instead of being rejectionary, the Negro church is progressive. It was the Negro church that preached opportunity for the Negro doctor and lawyer, and now begs the Negro masses to support Negro business. It is the Negro church which takes the initiative in many forward movements for the race. It furnishes a forum for any cause that is good. A catalogue of progressive movements started in Negro churches and supported by them would fill several pages.
The Negro church as some of our modernist today say, will not lead the masses astray. It is both progressive and conservative. Its theology is simple, and may be expressed thus: There is but one God and Jesus Christ in Him and so saved. God is no responder of persons, but will award every man according to his character. The good will go to heaven and the bad will go to hell, therefore, be good. Be true to your race, although earthly differences of race, nations, etc. are only temporary. God is abo. every this—even the white m.
Now whether the Negro is a Baptist or Methodist, or what not, that is his theology. Belief in God is strong. The value of this in social control may be disproportionate by the income: — — old Negro in South Carolina what if, against the heightness of his must, he said: "Dr. Wright, I get so mad of them, that if I don't believe in C. C. I get so to every house in this province, if I could, and your patience in my work. But I believe in God: I do. All I want to do is a just God." "Wr." — — old Negro in a just God.

Mr. Garvey's Sentence
Miller of The Negro World:
As God liveth if there can be a trans-

So, as the Lord liveth, I will surrender for my brother. Is there any way

Small Minds Gloat Over
Troubles of Large Minds
"Right-thinking Negroes will agree with you for coking the Tiger."
Can any serious-minded Negro who is employed as a porter, elevatorman, dishwasher, cuspidor cleaner, or any of the other menial industrial slave-making positions and yet has the qualifications and education to be of any business or commercial institution, congratulate Mr. Domingo for sending such a telegram to the Assistant United States District Attorney?
Is there a white man in this age who would congratulate a Negro official at the downfall of his white brother? No.
Shipping, that business which is high finance in its true sense, will help to solve the Negro problem, providing the lessons of misappropriations, dishonesty, inefficiency, etc., learn in the Black Star venture are kept before us. Somebody had to pay this glorious country for these lessons. But If the laws and regulations were made by serious-minded Negroes, message senders, brokers, paid agents, writers, preachers, all of us would be with Marcus Garvey today, singing "Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are marching." We have had in prisons enough gentlemen to supply the faculty of any university with professors, governments with presidents, kings and officials, and these men were caught only on technical points of law often made by themselves. Mr. Garvey might have made some blunders during his Black Star venture, but this is not the tite for a man of Negro blood to be happy about Mr. Garvey's misfortune.
I only hope Mr. Domingo could know what the intelligent whites and right-thinking Negroes think about him sending such a telegram. L. F. L.

What Black Men Have
Done, Black Men Can Do
To the Editor of The Negro World:
I do believe that every member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association has made his resolution at the entering of the new year 1925, but how many of us are trying to make possible our resolutions? It was shown to the world that 3,500 black men and women have made resolutions the resolution that made it possible for them to set sail on the mighty deep the steamship Booker T. Washington, on Sunday, January 18, at 6:19 p. m. on her maiden trip to Central and South America and the seas. It's indeed wonderful to see, in spite of all that was said and done, that black men are conscious of the fact that whatever other men have done, black men can do and are doing." The sailing of the Booker T. Washington out of the port of New York should serve to inspire men to play their part in this great commercial field.
We have just started, in the name of postervity, let us continue until we shall have placed on the seven seas shipe and more shipe, flying the colors of the Red, Black and Green. If we as a race of suffering people would just put our hands in hands, it wouldn't be long before we too would find ourselves at the top of this great human ladder.

Negroes Who Rejoice At
The Troubles of Others
Marcus Garvey is imprisoned and some Negrodom rejoices. But what of Negrodom rejoices? Let us see: Some white "friends" who would save the Negro from himself, some Negro leaders who ape the aforesaid, and some "colored" newspapers. And why do they rejoice?
Marcus Garvey like many men, not excepting Jesus; lived before his time. Today, although numbered far and above the other race, the black man does not know his nower and will not in spite of pleading, make his power felt by organisation. Harlem abounds with examples of lack of organization and its power to make men respected, not to say feared. How long would the high rents and immoral conditions created by them last if black Harlem knew its power and prepared to make itself felt? The jealousy that a leader, even though he be of the race, would receive ever so little of honor, or respect, thereby, keeps men from trusting one among themselves and benefiting thereby. White friends, ostensibly with the Negro's interest at-heart, plify him with reasons why he should not trust his brother in the matter of leadership, sap his confidence, and, dividing his co-operation, rule and debase and grind him. Smug in the satisfaction of having "some white friends" who will help him in trouble, which, strange to say, black men feel that they are sure to find some time, they neglect to meet and confer with their fellows, from which, surer and more practical ground they would, if in trouble, come out, if come out they would, with a higher sense of satisfaction and respect.
Marcus Garvey has been lost temporarily to the race because Negroes will "make believe white," not accepting the vices, which from the incomplete culture and education which is theirs at present, jackdaw-like holds them up to the scorn of their blood brothers and the silent, secret snicker of white men and women. 'Tis funny to observe the professor-like aloofness of some Negroes, and later their mouthings about race feelings. Race feelings such as these are but screens behind which hide the desire to win hands on both sides, one for the support of the Negro and the other to those who pay the fiddler.

To the Editor of The Negro World:
Permit me a little space in your paper to express briefly the following:
As long as I live, I shall never forget: Wednesday night, Feb. 4, when the Hon. Marcus Garey made that memorable speech before his departure-to be incarcerated. I cannot express the impression created, not only of myself, but three-fourths of the members present. But now more than ever I am determined to preserve and cherish this man's teachings and instructions.
I am determined to go onward, along with the principles of the U. N. I. A., through all obstacles. Though at times despondency seems to overpower me, yet as soon as I remember his act, speech in this city, I am relieved in mind and still more determined to stand by the Hon. Marcus Garey and the Red, Black and Green.
We have been rigidly ridiculed and desplied by the white race by his repeated writings of our lethargy and of our mental inferiority to adopt and adapt for ourselves the means by which we should be free and independent.
Let us stand firm and undivided.
Let us hold fast. Let us forget our petty differences and cling to the principles of this sacred and noble cause.
Let us demonstrate to the Hon. Marcus Garvey our appreciation for his untiring services to us. Let us honor him now more than ever by giving our moral and financial support. Let us show to the world our appreciation of him and our dissatisfaction of the injustices inflicted upon us as a whole. Let us agitate, more and more until Hon. Marcus Garvey is set free. God bless and strengthen him as he bears and pays the price of leadership.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. 35—Income tax collections for the first half of the present fiscal year—July 1 to December 31, 1924—increased in many States and particularly throughout the South, despite the 25 per cent. reduction voted in the-Revenue Act of 1924.
For the entire country, income tax receipts fell off $40,648,330 in the six months, compared with the same period of the preceding fiscal year, while a decline of $67,458,306.47 was noted in miscellaneous taxes, making a loss in all internal revenue receipts of $108,133,638.
The Internal Revenue Bureau made public today a tabulation of collections showing that for the first half of the fiscal year the States paid taxes to the Federal Government in the following order: New York, $308,057,640; Pennsylvania, $119,742,307; Illinois, $96,584,201; Michigan, $92,279,207; North Carolina, $79,112,496; Ohio, $70,775,313.
This was the same order held during the first half of the fiscal year 1924. There was a reduction in collections from all the foregoing States except North Carolina, which gave the Government an increase of $664,433, due to the heavier miscellaneous tax collections.
New York led in miscellaneous taxes, with $92,701,185, and North Carolina was second, with $71,927,769. The other States were far behind. North Carolina stands high in the miscellaneous tax list because of the tobacco tax.
Good prices for cotton and general prosperity through the South were reflected in increased income tax payments in the face of the difference of 25 per cent. in the rate. Some of the Southern States paid income taxes for the six months' period of fiscal years 1924 and 1925 as follows: Alabama.
