The Negro World

LET'S PUT IT OVER The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Awakened Negro Negro World Reaching the Mass of Negroes The Best Advertising Medium A Newspaper Devoted solely to the Interests of the Negro Race VOL. XVIII. No. 5 NEW YORK, SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 1925 PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK SEVEN CENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE U. S. A. TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES MARCUS GARVEY MAKES STIRRING APPEAL TO THE CONSCIENCE OF THE BLACK RACE The Hon. Marcus Garvey sends greetings to the Negroes of the world, and warns the race against being misled and deceived by spineless, sycophantic, would-be leaders who represent the worst, and not the best, within the race, all their high-sounding talk to the contrary, notwithstanding. The Negro race, he declares, is in need of able men, not "good boys"; workers, not beggars; creators, not imitators. In the following article he appeals to the conscience of the black race: It is said to be a hard and difficult task to organize and keep together large numbers of the Negro race for the common good. Many have tried to congregate us, but have failed, the reason being that our characteristics are such as to keep us more apart than together. The evil of internal division is wrecking our existence as a people, and if we do not seriously and quickly move in the direction of a readjustment it simply means that our doom becomes immediately conclusive. For years the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been working for the unification of our race, not on domestic national lines only, but universally. The success we have achieved in the course of our efforts is rather encouraging, considering the time consumed and the environment surrounding the object of our concern. The Negro's Difficulty It seems that the whole world of sentiment is against the Negro, and the difficulty of our generation is to extricate ourselves from the prejudice that hides itself beneath as well as above the action of an international environment. Prejudice is conditional on many reasons, and it is apparent that the Negro supplies consciously or unconsciously all the reasons for which the world seems to ignore and avoid him. No one cares for a leper, for lepers are infectious persons, because all are afraid of the disease, and so, because the Negro keeps himself poor, helpless and undemonstrative, it is natural also that no one wants to be of him or with him. Progress and Humanity Progress is the attraction that moves humanity, and to whatever people or race this "modern virtue" attaches itself there will you find the splendor of pride and selfesteem that never fail to win the respect and admiration of all. It is the progress of the Anglo-Saxon race that singles them out for the respect of all the world. When the race had no progress or achievement to its credit, then, like all other inferior peoples, they paid the price in slavery, bondage, as well as through prejudice. We cannot forget the time when even the ancient Briton was regarded as being too dull to make a good Roman slave, yet today the influence of that race rules the world. It is the industrial and commercial progress of America that causes Europe and the rest of the world to think appreciatively of the Anglo-American race. It is not because one hundred and ten million people live in the United States that the world is attracted to the republic with so much reverence and respect, a reverence and respect not shown to India with its three hundred millions, or to China with its four hundred millions. Progress of and among any people will advance them in the respect and appreciation of the rest of their fellows. It is such progress that the Negro must attach to himself if he is to rise above the prejudice of the world. The reliance of our race upon the progress and achievements of others for a consideration in sympathy, justice and rights is like a dependence upon a broken stick, resting upon which will eventually throw you to the ground. POINTS THE ROAD THE NEGRO MUST TREAD IF HE IS TO GAIN THE RESPECT OF THE REST OF THE WORLD PRIDE AND SELF-ESTEEM GO HAND IN HAND WITH PROGRESS; PREJUDICE WILL ALWAYS ENDURE WHEN SELF-RELIANCE IS LACKING THE BEST IN A RACE IS REFLECTED NOT THROUGH THE ACTION OF ITS "APES" BUT OF ITS CREATORS depend upon the other races for a kindly and sympathetic consideration of their needs, without making the other do for themselves, has been the race's standing disgrace by which we have been judged, and through which we have created the strongest prejudice against ourselves. There is no force like success, and that is why the individual makes all efforts to surround himself throughout life with the evidence of it. As of the individual, so should it be of the race and nation. The glittering success of Rockefeller makes him a power in the American nation; the success of Henry Ford suggests him as an object of universal respect, but no one knows and cares about the bum or hobo who is Rockefeller's or Ford's neighbor. So, also, is the world attracted by the glittering success of races and nations, and pays absolutely no attention to the bum or hobo race that lingers by the wayside. The Negro must be up and doing if he will break down the prejudice of the rest of the world. Prayer alone is not going to improve our condition, nor the policy of watchful waiting. We must strike out for ourselves in the course of material achievement, and by our own effort and energy present to the world those forces by which the progress of man is judged. A Nation and Country The Negro needs a nation and a country of his own, where he can best show evidence of his own ability in the art of human progress. Scattered as an unmixed and unrecognized part of alien nations and civilizations is but to demonstrate his imbecility and point him out as an unworthy derelict, fit neither for the society of Greek, Jew nor Gentile. It is unfortunate that we should so drift apart, as a race, as not to see that we are but perpetuating our own sorrow and disgrace in failing to appreciate the first great requisite of all peoples—organization. Organization is a great power in directing the affairs of a race or nation toward a given goal. To properly develop the desires that are uppermost we must first concentrate through some system or method, and there is none better than organization. Hence, the Universal Negro Improvement Association appeals to each and every Negro to throw in his lot with those of us who, through organization, are working for the universal emancipation of our race and the redemption of our common country, Africa. No Negro, let him be American, European, West Indian or African, shall be truly respected until the race as a whole has emancipated itself, through self achievement and progress, from universal prejudice. The Negro will have to build his own government, industry, art, science, literature and culture, before the world will stop to consider him. Until then we are but wards of a superior race and civilization, and the outcrops of a standard social system. The race might work at this time, not plaguing, corrupts and mischievous; but men and women who are able to create, originate and improve and thus make an independent contribution to the world and civilization. Monkey Apings of "Leaders" The unfortunate thing about us is that we take the monkey apings of our so-called "leading men" for progress. There is no progress in aping white people, and telling us that they represent the best in the race, for in that respect any dressed monkey would represent the best of its species irrespective of the creative matter of the monkey instinct. The best in a race is not reflected through or by the action of its apes, but by its ability to create for and by itself. It is for such a creation that the Universal Negro Improvement Association seeks. Let us not try to be the best or worst of others, but let us make an effort to be the best of ourselves. Our own racial critics criticize us as dreamers and "fanatics" and call us "benighted" and "ignorant," because they lack racial backbone. They are unable to see themselves creatures of their own needs. The slave instinct has not yet departed from them. They still believe that they can only live or exist through the good graces of their "masters." The good slaves have not yet thrown off their shackles; thus to them It is the slave spirit of dependence that causes our "so-called leading men" (apes) to seek the shelter, leadership protection and patronage of the "master" in their organization and so-called advancement work. It is the spirit of feeling secured as good servants of the master rather than as independents why our modern Uncle Toms take pride in laboring under alien leadership and become surprised at the audacity of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in clamoring for racial liberty and independence. Able Men Not "Good Boys" Wanted But the world of white and other men, deep down in their hearts, have much more respect for those of us who work for our racial salvation under the banner of the Universal Negro Improvement Association than they could ever have in all eternity for a group of helpless apes and beggars who make a monopoly of undermining their own race, and belittling themselves in the eyes of self-respecting people, by being "good boys" rather than able men. Surely there can be no good will between apes, seasoned beggars and independent minded Negroes who will at least make an effort to do for themselves. Surely the "dependents" and "wards" (and may I not say racial imbeciles?) will rave against and plan the destruction of movements like the Universal Negro Improvement Association that expose them to the liberal white minds of the world as not being representative of the best in the Negro, but, to the contrary, the worst. The best of a race does not live on the patronage and philanthropy of others, but makes an effort to do for itself. The best of the great white race does not fawn before and beg black, brown and yellow men; they go out, create for self, and thus demonstrate the fitness of the race to survive. The Best in the Race And so the white race of America and the world will be informed that the best in the Negro race is not the class of beggars who send out to other races piteous appeals annually for donations to maintain their coterie, but the groups within us that are honestly striving to do, for themselves with the voluntary help and appreciation of that class of other races that is reasonable, just and liberal enough to give to each and every one a fair chance in the promotion of those ideals that tend to greater human progress and human love. DU BOIS--DE LISSER COMBINATION AT THE OLD GAME Marcus Garvey Warns Negroes Against Peril of 'Buffer Society' Plot THE BUSINESS OF CARRYING ON THE PROGRAM OF THE U.N.I.A. The Eyes of the World Focussed on the Association— Enemy Propaganda Fails to Discourage the Faithful—Marcus Garvey, Although Absent, Is Still the Inspiring Spirit Marcus Garvey has created and presented to the world the largest Negro organization of modern times. This gigantic organization has been deprived of its creator and leader at a most critical time. The world has watched it grow to its present proportions with open-eyed amazement. This is not surprising. To get hundreds of thousands of Negroes scattered in the four corners of the earth to organize, stick together and cling to an ideal in the face of the tremendous opposition which the U. N. I. A. has met, is a task which none but a genius could perform. Marcus Garvey has done this thing. And the world has been frankly interested in the performance. Now that the great leader has been temporarily removed from active leadership of the organization, the question, coming from every side is, "Will the organization live?" Such a question suggests a doubt in the mind of the questioner and it is safe to say that most of those who are not have mentally answered it in the negative. other. They will be met oftener as time passes. The remedy for this situation is education along organization lines. Each member of the organization should possess himself of a thorough knowledge of the object, aims and program of the association, so that those who seek to confuse and embarrass may be silenced in a dignified, sensible and intelligent-manner. This attitude This query often comes from the most unexpected sources and indicates to a flattering degree, the interest the organization has aroused among those who have never joined its ranks. The U. N. L. A. represents the greatest purely racial effort of the modern Negro. Students of the race, white and black, know that the status of Negroes everywhere will be affected by the success, or failure of this great effort for self-expression being made by a struggling race. Hance, the great interest in the fate of the organization. Membership on Tzal The U. N. L. A. has certain well-defined ideals, aims and plans. The program as a whole is a great pre-eminent one, but faith, purpose and whole-hearted, co-operation with those who are directing the work can spell nothing but success. Members of the U. N. I. A. must realize that at this moment the ambitions of a race are being put to a test through them. This is a grave responsibility and a portion of it belongs to each and every member of the organization. The U. N. I. A. member must think of his organization as "me" or organization, is looking to "me" for support, maintenance and defense. Successful mass action is only obtained by active and sustained individual interest. When the question of what is being done is asked, each member should ask himself, "What am I doing?" The more personal this question becomes, the greater will be the success of the organization. Pride of Organization Sarcasm and ridicule have been two of the most dangerous weapons employed by enemy propagandists in their effort to discredit the aims and object of the organization. This strategy is both old and effective. Human nature is such that few people remain unaffected by ridicule. These are those who view the whole U. N. L. A. program as one huge joke and the membership as a crowd of fanatics. Every member of the association has met such individuals some time or 'LOST VIGOR RESTORED IN 24 HOURS' "Glands Renewed in One Day" is the Amazing Statement of a 78-Year-Old Veteran Lost vigor, depleted glands and nerves, and that weak, worn-out, depressed and limp. He has been in the hospital longer since the discovery of Rando Formula. Now it is possible for those who feel weak to regain the "will of youth," often in a dark time, with Rando Formula, is to regain the treatment. The famous discovery is bringing "suffited youth" and "suffering children" where everything else had failed. THE MISSING MEN OF THE WORLD other. They will be met. oftener, as time passes. The remedy for this situation is education along organization lines. Each member of the organization should possess himself of a thorough knowledge of the object, aims and program of the association, so that those who seek to confuse and embarrass may be silenced in a dignified, sensible and intelligent-manner. This attitude will make more friends for the organization than any one other thing. Lack of understanding in very often the reason for prejudice. U. N. I. A. members have no need to be ashamed of any phase of their organization program. Everything that the U. N. I. A. is doing has been done before. There is nothing unusual about it, except that it is being done by Negroes. The program is constructive and progressive. It's being worked out along lines somewhat different from those usually followed by Negro organizations, should be a source of pleasure and comfort. The fact that somebody mocks or jeers means nothing. Fools have laughed at the unusual through the centuries. Many who realize the tremendous influence of Mr. Garvey's personality have taken great delight in playing up his incarceration as if his usefulness in life ended with his entrance into Atlanta prison. Their utterances would lead the uninformed to believe that the great Garvey had died, or had at least been committed for life. No member of the organization can fail to see the object of this insidious propaganda. But the enemy is falling on every side. Members of the U. N. I. A. remain unmoved by the false alarms being sounded for their benefit. They are rallying gloriously and well. On every side they only await marching orders. They know that nothing but death can take Marcus Garvey from the U. N. I. A. No faithful labor and await the return of their great leader. And they will continue to wait. When he comes back to them, they will return to him a bigger, fther, more useful organization than he left. DAVID JONES JOINS INTER-RACIAL STAFF Former Standard Life Secretary Enters Good Will Campaign in the South ATLANTA. Ga. Feb.-David Jones, of this city, who recently resigned his post as secretary of the Standard Life Insurance Company, has joined. the staff of the Commission on Inter-racial Co-operation as a field secretary for work throughout the Southern States. Mr. Jones is a brother of Bishop Robert E. Jones, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and was for several years secretary of the Colored Y. M. C. A. of St. Louis, where he served most effectively. Later he accepted the secretaryship of Standard Life; but resigned the office at the time of the merger with the Southern Insurance Company. Fine native endowments and thorough college training mark, Mr. Jones as a young man of unusual ability, eager to devote his life to the upbuilding of his group. It is believed that in his new connection he will be able to render great service to the cause of inter-racial good will in America. He will enter his new field on March 4. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 1925 HON. MARCUS GARVEY EXPOSES PLOT TO PUSH BLACK MAN TO THE FOOT OF THE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC LADDER AND TO BUILD UP A BUFFER SOCIETY I take this opportunity of warning black peoples of America, the West Indies and Central America not to allow themselves to be deceived. The greatest enemies we have within the race working clandestinely for the humiliation, subjugation and ultimate extermination of the black peoples are the Dutch-French colored man, W. E. B. DuBois, of the National Association for the "Advancement" of Colored People in America, and the vicious Negro-hating hybrid, Herbert G. DeLisser, editor of the Daily Gleaner, Kingston, Jamaica. There is a combination to push the black people to the foot of the social and economic ladder and to build up a buffer society. Ultimately the blacks are to be crushed and exterminated through economic pressure. But, for the time being, these men and the association named are to skillfully use the Negroes until they become, through their plans, strong enough to ignore the race completely. The blacks should develop leaders to expose these hypocrites, and should also realize that our greatest enemies are among ourselves. MARCUS GARVEY. MARCUS GARVEY'S SPLENDID WORK AND SACRIFICE The Truth Will Prevail in the End However Subtly Error May Antagonize It —Negroes Will March On To the Editor of The Negro World: At this time many hearts are glad and many hearts are sad. There is laughter and rejoicing among Mr. Garvey's enemies, while there is sadness and tears among his friends and well-wishers. Wasn't it so at the crucifixion of Jesus? While rambling through my papers I found The Negro World of October 25, 1924, and was greatly strengthened by Mr. Garvey's page. He knows his business: he is not afraid. We have among us ministers of the gospel who read the Bible every day, preach every Sunday, and administer the Sacrament which represents the Body and Blood of one who so loved mankind that He gave his Life to redeem them from the bondage of sin, who laughed and feel happy over the imprisonment of Mr. Garvey. Where are the Christians? I would like such people to take their Bibles and ask themselves these questions: Who gave me this book in my own language? Where is the man? What opposition did he encounter? -What compensation did he receive, and how did he die They say that Mr. Garvey is a radical. Do they know that Martin Luther was considered a radical in his attempt to fix the Bible so that all would be able to read it, and thereby acquire spiritual knowledge? Do they consider him a radical today? Is the Bible precious, to us now, even though we hate our brother and conspired against him to have him killed; banished or placed behind the stone walls for unconverted ministers and all heathens? Do you know what it means to banish or imprison a man for truth? Do you know that John was banished because of the truth, and it was at that solitary place God, through His angel, met and revealed to him things that would shortly come to pass, and he wrote that wonderful book, "The Revelation." Oh, I feel, deep down in my soul, that God, through Marcel Garvey, will lift the black race in spite of all oncissitis. I hate copied something from the Chicago surface er, which reads like this: "The fellow who blocks the alice of a crowded car, may think he's the spirit of France, snying. They shall not pass, but he's no hero to the rest of the passengers." isn't it true? How often we mount the car, and instead of moving, forward to make room for the rest coming, we foolishly stand in the way and finally find ourselves pushed as far as we can go, with our corps mashed, belt lost, or a valuable button brushed off our coats. But who can stop the onward march of the U. N. I. A.? Can't you hear the trump of the Negroes, that mighty army, with Africa written on their foreheads? What are, you going to do with this universal gigantic line of Negroes, who are ready to face death for the redemption of Africa? Let the world understand that Marcus Garvey and his millions don't know how to beat a retreat. They march only. God bless Marcus and Amy Garvey. Help all officers and members to do their duty to this institution, till Marcus Garvey returns. DEDICATES LIFE TO AFRICAN REDEMPTION Great Achievements of the Association Appreciated and Lauded—Preparation for. Changes Coming Imperatively Necessary To the Editor of The Negro World: Kindly allow mo space in your valuable column to express my gratitude for the 'incomparable achievements of the organisation which I pledge myself to serve as long as I live. The achievements compel one to harmonize more solidly. Perseverance and self-determination are the highest essentials of an individual, of a nation and a race. The desired destiny cannot be compounded in any other way but by the personal interest, the determination, and the responsibility that the race or nation puts in the test. The destiny of one lies within himself. When some of the great nations are crying out for a white country, it means that the Negro will be prohibited therein; then what will prevent the Negro from crying out for a black and united Africa? It is true that the high intelligence of the world has no time to be bothered with the poor and unfortunate of the world, but the good Lord has given to one of no mean intelligence, who is willing to lead the ignorant out of the slough brf despond to a higher sense of race consciousness. Why should such an ideal be trampled upon? There is much to be done for the betterment of this race of cura. Let us inculcate the high ideals of the redemption of a race and work towards that end. The principles are that our down-trodden generation will be represented to some of the highest courts of the world, and be respected as other nations and races are represented and respected. Then, at this stage of our existence, preparedness is a necessity. We must be prepared to meet the responsibilities that are sure to come in the near future, responsibilities of state-management, responsibilities along commercial lines, responsibilities along industrial lines, professional lines and religious lines. The advent of Hon. Marcus Garvey and the U. N. U. A. means much to the four hundred million scattered sons and daughters of Ethiopia. Nationhood is aimed at; commercial and industrial enterprises are aimed at, and even at the shedding of our sacred blood; for the accomplishment of our hopes we sincerely mean that those things we are end avowing to put over must be done, believing that God Almighty is our director and Marcus Garvey is our leader. Seeing and knowing ourselves as we stand alongside the various nations and races of the world, it behooves us to dedicate every moment of our time and money to the laying down of a civilization that will teach all men to love his brother, whether he be white or black, rich or poor. Our leader may be imprisoned, but his ideals can never die. Yours for Africa's redemption. JOSEPH A. MORTON. New York city.

What Happened to a West Indian British Seaman in the Naval Service at Durban, South Africa To the Editor of the Negro World: While much will be needed done spiritually, Darband, Fort, Natal, South Africa, is one of the many cities with which the natives will not have much to do from a material viewpoint by and bye. It will take too much time and space to describe Port Natal. Suffice to say that it is a magnificent city, with giant structures and all modern conveniences and conveyances, despite the appearance of the antiquated native rick-shaws. In 1915, 1916 and 1917, when I was there, according to a report of the census given to me, it had a ruling, or rather misruling, population of 15,000 whites and 5,000,000 natives, including two or three thousands of East Indians. The native population represents a variety of tribes. The most of them, however, being Kaffirs, Zulus and Nommollies who, by the things I have been told by many of them, are not particularly afraid of the whites, but rather seem to have a keen conception of the value and importance of time. Absolutely no regard is paid to the rights of the natives, and it is a common thing to see a family of man and wife, many of them with no children, who, had they remained in Amsterdam or London, may not have had the second meal possessing from three to nineteen servants. In one case that was shown to me by my Zulu friend, a bachelor hod no less than six mats, all girls from 15 to 18 years old. While this is true, if a white female is seen with a native male, I was told, such female is sent to prison for a term of one year and is deported to her native home at the end of that term, while the native male is condemned to death and hanged. I have one life to live and I am going to let my people know the truth as I know it, while I am living it. David Jack and myself, accompanying a Kaffir and Zulu young lady, respectively, separated at the head of Point Road, Durban. My companion and I, continuing up West street, had reached as far as Omgiln street when we heard a voice shouting "Hey Nigger, get on the road!" Looking around I saw a policeman approaching us. Miss Dina, tugging my hand in feminine fear, explained that he was driving us off the sidewalk. "Come on along," I said. Reaching up to us he repeated his command, but I was deaf. Holding me by my arm, he declared: "Get on the road, Niggers are not allowed on the sidewalk." Tugging myself away, I shouted "Let me go! Who are you talking to anyhow? I am no Nigger. I am a Negro!" "That makes no difference," he declared, "you are a black man just the same. Get on the road!" After my unusual display, he did not seem in a hurry to have me arrested, despite the grant house-pistol at his side. We had now reached as far as Church street, where we came into another policeman, who at once joined up with my persecutor. In an instant I was seized by the two men, one on my right and left arm, respectively. "Let me go," I protested, "what do you mean?" But my Sultan companion, who had stuck to my side, was tossed aside and I was held by my neck and arms and pushed into the Town Hall police station in West street, a few yards away. EQUITY CONGRESS HOLDS GREAT MASS MEETING IN LIBERTY HALL Former Governor Sulzer, Principal Speaker, Indorsed Movement to Have Negro Officers of the 369th Regiment of New York—Alderman Healy and Secretary Burrows Also Spoke The Equity Congress of Greater New York held a large and enthusiastic mass meeting at Liberty Hall on Wednesday evening, March 4. The Equity Congress is concentrating all of its efforts on the placing of Negro officers in the 369th Regiment and the removal of the white officers now in command. The meeting was held to voice protest against this unfair treatment and to get the moral support and endorsement of New York Negroes in the sight for what is rightfully theirs. The program was an interesting one and the frequent applause which greeted the impassioned utterances of the various speakers clearly indicated that Harlem Negroes are behind the movements 100 per cent. strong. Rev. J. R. White, Chaplain of the Equity Congress, presided. Prominent men of both races spoke. Negro. He heartily endorsed the work of the Equity Congress in behalf of the 369th Regiment. Among the other speakers were Alderman Martin J. Henley of the 19th New York Assembly District; Mr. A. McGregor, who represented Mayor Hyland, and the Hon. Perchard L. Burrows, Assistant. Secretary-General of the The distinguished guest and speaker of the evening was ex-Governor William Sulzer, Mr. Sulzer's address was instructive, educative and inspiring. He gave some interesting information concerning the treatment received by this Negro regiment since the World War. Among other things, Mr. Sulzer brought out the fact that although the 369th Regiment returned from overseas with 53 Negro officers, today it has only 23. He urged New York Negroes to continue to protest until the last white officer shall be removed from the 369th Regiment. Mr. George A. Weston, vice-president of the New York Local of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, followed Mr. Sulzer, and in a brief and cordial manner welcomed the members and-friend of the Equity Congress to Library Hall. Wr. Weston emphasized the fact that it is the policy of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to lend all possible aid and encouragement to all movements which tend to better the condition of the The Uproar in Islam Is Alarming Europe From the New York Times In September and October all Arabia was in uprorm. Not long before the Grand. Shercef of Mecca, the King of the Hedjaz, had proclaimed himself Caliph, following the Turkish abolition of the Caliphate and the deportation of Abdul Medjid, holder of that high Moslem office. In September a gigantic whiskered Sultan of Nold, head of the Wahabi sect, with a couple of million of desert fanatics behind him, moved against Mecca. He chased the Emir, King and Caliph Hussein out of the Holy City of Islam. Nor did the feeling Caliph stay his steps until under the shelter of British battleship guns at Jeddah. On October 4, at Cairo, he abdicated his various rulerships, but called upon the All-Islamic Congress to restore his powers. Now most of Kurdistan is reported in uproar and rebellion against the Turks. Prince Selim, son of "Abdul the Dummed," so London hears, is to be the new King of the Kurds.. The House of Osman is lifting its head once more. Kemal Pasha and his fellow "Republicans" at Angora have something other than Macedonian Greeks and Soviet agents to worry them. These Kurds are a bad lot. They were the butchers of the Armenian nation and for centuries have lived upon, loot, banditry and plain and fancy maudaling. They are poor material for the building of a kingdom, but are well adapted to the purposes of an Osman prince who dreams of fighting his way back to the throne and restoring the Caliphate in Constantinople. It is the religious phase of the unrest in Kurdistan, Arabia, Western India, Egypt, and the Sudan, Morocco and Algeria that may affect the interests of Western Europe and the white world. With the Celliphate vacant, Islam is hedonic. More than 320,000,000 non-Mormonese are without a religious leader. The Shifter and Sensation, the Wahhabi, who are the "Fundamentals" of Islam, and the Sensation, who have moved their seat of power from the "White Monarchy" under Dumun, in Alqarna, to the Opus of Jew, deep in the Lahavian Secret, are all men worshiping and indulging around the dissolute.

McGregor, who represented Mayor Hylan, and the Hon. Perpetual L. Burrows, Assistant. Secretary-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. A very unique number on the program was the recitation of an original poem by Miss Jeanette Holley. The Universal Band furnished the music. After the program, a committee on resolutions was appointed with Mr. Charles Bailey as chairman. This committee brought in a splendid set of resolutions briefly and forcefully setting forth the desires of New York Negroes in regard to the officers of the 36th Regiment. These resolutions are to be presented to the Governor at an early date. The committee was authorized to take all necessary steps to hasten action on the matter.

RAWLINS ANSWERS THE NEW YORK TIMES' CYNICAL EDITORIAL QUESTIONING WHOM THE U. N. I. A. REPRESENTS—IT SPEAKS FOR MILLIONS OF INTELLIGENT AND UNINTELLIGENT NEGROES ALL OVER THE WORLD LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday Night, March 8.—The ill-wishers of the Universal Negro Improvement Association must by this time have undergone a rude change of heart in regard to the organization; for instead of seeing an organization staggering from what they believed to be the fatal blow dealt it by the imprisonment of its leader, Marcus Garvey, they behold a revivified and thriving organization whose members are rallying to its standard with even greater tenacity than before; not carried away with emotion but steadfastly and loyally clinging to and supporting its program, and doing everything in their power to keep the association intact so that the world will realize that it is here to stay and that Marcus Garvey, although behind prison bars, is still their leader. In Liberty Hall, New York, for example, ever since Mr. Garvey's incarceration the people have consistently turned out in greater numbers than while he was present and from all parts of the country and the world where the Universal Neegro Improvement Association is known, similar reports are being received. Nor are the meetings-lacking in interest; for from the platform of Liberty Hall every Sunday night, there is an array of intellectual speakers who discuss sanely the merits of the organization and give inspiration to the vast audiences that keep the fires of Garveyism burning in all its brilliance. No more thrilling and inspiring speeches were made in Liberty Hall than those delivered tonight by Miss Susie Blake of Boston; Miss Julia Rumford, a school teacher and one of the original charter members of the organization; Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey and Dr. Elliott Rawlins, to say nothing of the eloquent and sincere utterances of Hon. Percival Burrows and Hon. C. S. Bourne, two of the men chosen by Mr. Garvey to lead the organization during his absence. As if by common agreement, the themes of all the speakers were an endorsement of the leadership of the president general and a charge to the members throughout the world to keep up the spirit and carry on the great work which the organization has undertaken of uniting the millions of Negroes into one solid whole looking to Africa's redemption as their goal. Following are the speeches: Garvey the Passionate Love for His Race The first speaker was Miss Suzie Blake, of Boston, Mass., who spoke, as follows: The Hon. Leader Marous' Garvey has shown, since the beginning of his career, that his endeavors were prompted by unselish love for the race, of which he is a member. This love originated in race-conciousness. He studied carefully conditions affecting Negroes all over the world; he found those conditions were common in spite of their geographical, national and climatic environment. He saw his race dismembered and full of rival factions within, caused by the plan of other races to have and keep it so. He saw the sufferings of a race engulfed and bowed down with burden-some taxation, a race suffering from malnutrition through being overworked and underpaid. He saw the wrongs of a race launched and burned to the stake, a race sent to fight and kill its own brother; he saw a race on whose tears, blood, groans and intense sufferings and labors empires exist, and nations are maintained. Before him was a race deprived of its constitutional rights and privileges. CATARRH STOPPED IN ONE DAY "Choking Catarrh and Head Noises left the First Day" is the amazing statement of a Missouri Resident Hawking, spitting, choking Catarrh and Bronchitis, thma, and the malignant aliments from Catarrh traps bles, need and be dreaded any longer. "Now I need to stop their troubles often in one day's time with the W-R Formula," is written on a piece of paper taken this new treatment. This famous Formula is bringing apples any breath and the sick people everywhere else had failed. "I want to say that my Catarrh was absolutely stopped the first day," says P. A. Hunt, a resident of my neighborhood, my neck was continuously filled up. I came my head to be stepped up. I was was continually bawling and spitting and was a source of great embarrassment before and after my surgery, but I can now enthusiastically say that all these tractions left me the treatment ended. We were happy and I feel a race scorned, discriminated against all over the world. Then, sald Garvey, Where is the Negro's country, where are his great cities, who are his dreadnoughts and submarines, his dirigibles and his merchant ships? Where is his great Negro rule? The answer was, "The Negro hasn't any of these things." Then sald Garvey, "O foolish Negroes! How could you ever expect to be considered men; how could you expect to have protection without these? Do not expect protection till you are in the position to protect yourselves." Then Garvey's career began. He started to preach to his followmen their imperiled condition as a race. He pointed to them the untold wealth they have in their motherland Africa, he sought to enlighten them about the violent powers they possessed, and urged them to make use of them. He laid the plans of an association that would become a great power if properly organized. He gave a vision of black men holding their own in the commercial and industrial activities of the world. He showed how this would help the backward tribes of Africa. He visualized, a strong government in Africa operated by black men. We have had time and again from our leader's speeches and messages this fact, that leadership means sacrifice, and that he had already counted the cost and was willing to pay the price. We see now by the brave, calm and courageous way in which he bears his suffering that all he said was true. His is real love, because it is the kind that stands testing. He bears his humiliation like a hero. He is imprisoned and he may die for the cause, but Marcus Garvey will not recant. That is the thing that makes him most admired by even his enemies, though they are too despicably cowardly to come out and say what they feel to be true. Those followers who are trembling for fear of going to jail, let me tell you that jail isn't the greatest of the terrors yet to be experienced. The very Desciples who Red at the arrest of Jesus became the great martyr to the cause of Christianity, and so will you become martyr to the cause of African redemption, and yet the principles and doctrines of this matchless association will live and triumph in defence of principalities and powers. The latter are only human beings and are deserved to go the way of their predecessors who have imprisoned, oppressed and disciplined those who dared to express truth. SPECIAL ANNOUNCEM NT 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. message from Atlanta and his eyes not fill with tears? Could anyone read that message and not see our Leader's intense devotion to a cause that is dearer to his heart than anything else? We can show our appreciation by supporting the cause better than when he was in our midst. If we get tired and darlinc our effort it will be a great satisfaction to Negro enemies and others, but if we increase the membership, finances and business capacity of the organization, then they will realize that we new Negroes are not fooling, we are in earnest, and that what is play to them is death to us, and, therefore, we, hold on till death removes us. What other race or nation beside the Negro do you suppose would combine with an alien to wreak its only ship acquired against fearful odds? Can you imagine an Englishman trying to wreck the only ship possessed by Englishmen to please Negroes? Can you imagine a Frenchman trying to wreck the only ship owned by Frenchmen to please Negroes? Can you imagine an American, Italian, Jew or Japanese doing such a treacherous deed? No! No other race is guilty of treachery to that extent but the Negro race. It is very sad to say it, but it is true. Yet we have to be patient because 90 percent of the race has not found itself yet. This percentage includes all the nationalities, thus we do not have Negroes, but French-Negroes, British-Negroes, American-Negroes, etc. Hence the difficulty in obtaining a uniform racial entity. Time and perseverance in upholding the principle only win in the long run. MIS8 JULIA RUMFORD'S SPEECH Miss Julia Rumford spoke as follows: I feel very proud as I look about this hall tonight to remember that I was one of the original thirteen charter members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and that on the charter of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in Albany my name appears.

(Applause.) The Various Types of Leaders We have had and we still have many kinds of leaders, for when we use the word leader we use it in different senses. Sometimes by leaders we simply mean the people who happen to be walking in front. If we should all rise and start to the door, someone must be in the lead and we might call that person a leader. Some of the leaders of our race are leaders in the sense that they are older than others perhaps, and so they have felt they are leaders. And then we have the group of leaders that have been chosen for us; other people consider them the wisest ones among us and so they call them the leaders. And then we have just one leader such as the one whom I am going to talk to you about, tonight—Marcus Garvey. Garvey the Real Negro Leader - I frequently go to the office of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and I notice that in the office Mr. Garvey is usually referred to—not in his presence naturally—as the chief. We always nickname people that we work for. If we work for a sort of stingy man we call him "old skin flint" or something else which is not complimentary. Mr. Garvey is called by the employees "the chief" and even by the people who go into the office. I think that nickname is most significant. The word chief means very much. It signifies a natural leader. When an Indian refers to his chief—when the African tribes refer to their chief—when the tribes of Ireland refer to their chief—wherever people have referred to a chief, they refer to one who is one of the great family to which they belong and one whom they look upon as the greatest one among them and therefore their leader. I think that is the best name for Marcin Garvey that we have given him—the name of chief. Garvey the Gully Head of the I. M. I. A. When Mr. Garvey was taken from an a great deal of comment was poured out of the association as to what would happen to the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Some people feel that the leaders of the I. M. I. A. community world war among themselves on to help them be the leader of the-association... That question has answered itself, because no matter who happens to temporarily conduct the management of any particular department, the general mood of the people seems to be and is that there is but one head of the organization whether he is here or in Africa or in India or in China or in Jail, and that head is the man who foisted it—Mercus Garvey. The Idea of an African Nation Many people have written about the association-lately. I notice that some people have been giving what they call inside stories about the Universal Negro Improvement Association who know absolutely nothing at all about the inside of the association; and then other people have been giving the life of Marquis Garvey who do know something of it and given to a certain extent a correct concept of the man though they may not absolutely understand all his principles. And an reading the account of the life of Marquis Garvey by William Ferris in one of the current Negro papers, he quotes some excerpts from speeches of Marquis Garvey before he came to this country; or to be more exact, from an article written by Mr. Garvey for a paper published in England before he came to this country; and we see that even then he had the idea of a great African nation united through the efforts of the Negroes of the Western Hemisphere. No Money-Making Scheme So that you see the idea of the Universal Negro Improvement Association was not an idea which occurred to Mr. Garvey on the spur of the moment as a money-making scheme, but something she had dedicated himself to before he realized what a great organization he would have here in the United States. Many years ago in a time of great financial stress, a certain number of people believed that the government was responsible for seeing that men had work from all over this country gathered together—I think it was in Ohio—and the leader of that group of men was a man named Coxey; and they decided that as protest they would march to Washington and place their suggestions for remedying the situation before the government. The go ANNOUNCEM NT I have known that I have appointed officers of the Univer- sity Movement Association and Cities League as a committed to administer the affairs of and auxiliary: M. LE VAN SHERRILL, President-General. R. S. BOURNE, Chan- CARTER, Secretary and members of the Univer- sity Movement Association will be eligible. MARCUS GARVEY sentiment was very much alarmed by these thousands of men from all over the country coming together to ask for something. It was a long trying hike to Washington and by the time the delegation got there many of the men had dropped out and they were tired and worn, and the government tried think of the most effective way to crush them and register its disapportionation of people coming to Washington in that way and making such an enormous demonstration. And so when they arrived in Washington, they did not arrest the leaders of this delegation for hurling to riot; they did not arrest them on any charge that was worthy of the name; they tried to think of the most humiliating thing they could do to those people; and these people were arrested when they finally reached Washington, for walking on the grass. (Laughter.) And I was reminded of that when Marcus Garvey, a man who had started a movement to unite all the Negroes of the world—a man who had succeeded in putting more Negroes than had any others before him—a man whose name was on the lips: "every Negro man and woman; a man that it seemed almost inconceivable that any one should make such a petty charge against or convict of using the malice to defraud the people that he worked and labored for and loved so sincerely and so truly. It is the most humiliating thing they could think of and they tried to carry it in the most humiliating way they could think of, not so much because they believed it, but because they tried to make it seem so frivolous as to make people who wore his emmis think it was something to laugh at. They expected that the picture of Marcus Garvey handcuffed to two deputy sheriffs would make the smoother of the association laugh—and some of them did laugh. The Onward March of the U. N. I. A. Is Not Afflicted. However, the fact that the Universal Negro Improvement Association, has held, together and that we have this big, spending two nights and probably there are similar meetings all over not only this country but other countries, shows that this temporary informate housing present affect the great ewward suffered by Ms. Garvey in Georgetown.

I ask myself and a number of people ask—why did Marcus Garvey go to prison? It seems almost absurd that he had to go to prison. He did not have to go to prison. He knew he was going to be convicted; he was almost sure of it, because he understood what would happen to the movement. He had plenty of chances to escape. The people who had put up the baffl for Mr. Garvey would have been willing to do it, or the people here in Liberty Hall would have been able to raise it and pay it back to them. If he had considered it wisely to leave this city, and it would and have affected the Universal Negro Improvement Association. With headquarters somewhere else it would have proceeded just the same. I ask myself, therefore, why did Mr. Garvey instead of going to Canada or some place else, prefer to go to jail? I came to the conclusion that he realized the responsibility that was upon him as the leader of this great movement, because it would be an unidentified thing to run away like a thief from an organization that he had always said he would give his life for. He felt that one of the best things he could do was to illustrate his willingness to make even greater sacrifice by making this smaller sacrifice. Many accusations have been made against Mr. Garvey's principles. Some have said that he taught the Negro to believe he was inferior. It seems so foolish to say that this organization that stands for the development of the Negro in every line should teach the Negro that he is inferior. An organization which trains our men to walk upright, to carry themselves as men, and our women to stand bravely by their side with their heads up, and training our people to believe themselves equal to anyone can be accused of believing the Negro inferior. The reason for that schmuckstanding is that Mr. Garvey recognized the difference between potential equality and actual equality. The fact that Mr. Garvey is in jail shows that the Negro is not the equal of the white man actually, but even much his equal he may be potentially. If you have not an opportunity to do a thing, no matter how well you can do it, you cannot do it. And it was to show the Negro that he had to make these opportunities before he would be the equal of other people that Mr. Garvey attempted, and that is why they made the mistake of saying he preached the doctrine of inferiority. It was nothing of the kind. The Character of Marcus Garvey It has been said that Mr. Garvey would not take advice; that he was an egotist; that he believed himself supreme. If you were going to build a house you would go for advice to a man who had made plays for houses, and who has built houses, and who is recognized as an authority on house building. If you are going to teach you study under people who have taught and learn their methods of doing it. If you want to learn to play the piano you go to a piano teacher that can play, and one that everyone knows can play and ask her to teach you. To whom then could Mr. Garvey have turned for advice in the management of this association? Could he turn to leaders who had failed to run their own organizations successfully? Was it necessary for him then to look to those people who had failed in their own line and ask them what they thought as to what he should do to carry out his life? Most of these men who have criticized Mr. Garvey are men who have been dismissed from the Universal Negro Improvement Association because they failed to give satisfaction, and like disgruntled ex-employees they haven striven to put their case be- P.

Garvey Not Faultless Now, Mr. Garvey is human; all human beings have faults; no man is perfect. Mr. Garvey has made countless mistakes of which I perhaps do not know. Everyone of us have made hundreds and thousands of mistakes in the management of our Wesley we may not have known what they are, but other people could tell us about them. But have the mistakes he has made overbalanced the good we have received from the right things he has done? Has the fact that he made mistakes counteracted the fact that he has given us the greatest movement and the strongest idea for the development and preservation of this race that has ever been given to us? I do not think so. Another thing that has been said against the association is the effect but only the ignorant join the association. The strongest way to contradict that is not only by believing that we are not ignorant and not only to believe in the association in your hearts, but confess it with our mouths. In that respect, I think many of you who are a little bashful, when we are among our friends who disapprove of the Universal Negro Improvement Association we keep silent when we should speak. To do that would give impetus to the organization and it should be done now. Garvey and the U. M. T. A. Inseparable The association is at a critical point now. We do not realize it, but the enemies of the association are waiting for the time when they think it is abnormal—when everything is not being run in the way that it has always run. They are waiting for the time when they think it will begin to fail and there will be dissension among the association and when they will seize the op time line to say what they have to say to influence the people; and the reason I have prepared these postures is because I want to impress upon you to accept no leader who tells you he is sincerely and has the interest of the association at heart unless he says "not only I accept the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but I also accept the leadership of Marcus Garvey." (Apflause.) The two are inseparable. vindication of Mr. Garvey's choice of men. Not a One-Man Movement and now for the third accusation which is really the same as the preceding ones. It has been said Garvey's movement is a one-man movement, and that as soon as Garvey has gone the organization will go. It is for you members to show that you are members not because you are affected by one man's oratory when you do not believe in your heart and from your logic and commonsense, the principles of the organization. You want to show that the association is not a one-man organization because it protects all the Negroes and that Mr. Garvey simply happened to be the man who brought them together and the man who conceived the idea; just the leader, that all; the leader in the sense that he has appealed to ignorant people who have not the commonsense to reject an idea which appeals to them only emotionally—only because they like the combination of the Red, the Black and the Green; not only because they like to parade in uniform. That is not the idea at all; and the way for us to prove it is by being more loyal to the association supporting it more diligently now than when Mr. Garvey himself was among us. (Great applause.)

GARVEY DAY GENERALLY OBSERVED It will be gratifying to the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to learn that Garvey Day, celebrated for the first time Sunday, March I, was a magnificent success in all parts of the Negro World. The designation of the day caught the imagination of the members everywhere, and zeal and enthusiasm marked their observance of it. In New York five thousand members gathered in Liberty Hall to honor the champion of Negro freedom and African redemption. It was a wonderful outpouring of the people, and showed anew their devotion to President-General Marcus Garvey and the contention for Negro freedom everywhere, with proper conservation of Negro values of whatever sort for Negroes and for the redemption of Africa. Similar interest in Garvey Day as that shown in New York was shown in most of the large centers of the country, as letters and telegrams to the editor of The Negro World show, and the celebration will become more general as it becomes more generally known that the first Sunday in each month has been designated for such celebration. The general observance of Garvey Day is one of the most effective ways to keep alive the work of Marcus Garvey and the high purposes of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, into which he breathed the breath of life. The Negro everywhere must be awakened to the fact that he is a man, with as much self-determination in his social, civil and economic values as other races and groups have in theirs, and that the way to secure these is to contend for them late and early, as others contend for the same necessary things when denied to them. That is the only way to secure them, or a measure of them. We want it understood everywhere that we are against those who are against us. We shall have all the more respect of ourselves and others when we have made it plain that we do not run into any fights and that we do not run out of any. We can't win by any other policy. No race ever did. Marcus Garvey never believed that we could. Garvey Day will become memorable in the life of the Negro people. The celebration of the first day set aside for the purpose, March 1, was a splendid success. THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE PRESIDENT. COOLIDGE has delivered his ministry through the Congress as President elec- tion office by the people of the Nation. The ye- ror to President Harding were turbulent and because he felt obligated to further the p- ar and because he had a divided party in the PRESIDENT COOLIDGE has delivered his message to the country through the Congress as President elected to that high office by the people of the Nation. The years he served successor to President Harding were turbulent and trying for the President because he felt obligated to further the policies of his predecessor and because he had a divided party in the Congress on his hands. But, handicapped as he was, he gradually revealed himself to the people as a man of strong convictions and courage and more inclined to do things than to talk about them. And in handling the Cleveland convention, where his enemies determined in advance to crush him, he showed that he had not only the qualities of statesmanship but the qualities of the practical politician which President Lincoln possessed in superlative degree. There is nothing new or startling in the President's message. He advocates economy in the expenditure of public.moneys, tax reform, less sectionalism in the politics of the people, and international cooperation, as it is impossible for us "to live unto ourselves alone." We do not find that he has anything to say-to-or about the Negro, that he does not say in a general way to and about all the people in whom we assume he has a common and very human interest. The Negro does not want any special treatment. He simply wants to be treated as other race groups are treated, as an indivisible part of the national citizenship. Equality of service and equality of benefits of government go-hand in-hand. It is ours to render the service and claim the benefits. We have rendered the service; now let us see how the benefits will be apportioned. THE Jews are a remarkable people. They refuse to mix their blood of other races, and they refuse to die or be slaughtered out of existence, and they insist upon growing prosperity in all the lands where they are scaffolded, and where they are the most part, an undesirable part of the citizenship of Europe. They simply insist upon persisting. It is said that those who are more than 12,000,000 Jews in all lands, but it does not seem likely to be found in the Jew everywhere. the home-coming of Jews from all parts of the world, industry is preparing and promises to become worth while in a short time. What the Jews are doing for Palestine the Negroes will yet do for Africa. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is pledged to the work of having and developing a country in Africa where dissatisfied Negroes in all parts of the world can go if they so desire, and the work will prosper with the coming and the going of the years. MORE WORK AND LESS TALK CRYING NEED OF THE NEGRO HAD rather talk of saving pennies and save them than theorize in millions and save nothing." Thus reasons are matter-of-fact and sensible President Coolidge. And this excellent bit of philosophy is of practical value in more ways than from a financial viewpoint. Some of our active and well-meaning race leaders might do well to read and ponder this statement, coming from our President. He seems to be saying that he prefers to talk less and do more. This advice is not new but it has not ceased to be good. Judging from results, we often think that many of our public advisors do nothing but theorize. We want to be charitable and give full credit for all efforts toward a solution of the multitude of phases of the problem that faces the Negro today, but so much talk without action means nothing. Certain "would-be" leaders who feed upon the applause of the multitude find the more impressionable and emotional members of the race a very satisfactory audience for their rantings. The applause satisfies the vanity of these creatures, but all of the talk in the world unaccompanied by a practical and effective plan of action is useless. Those who listen are simply wasting many valuable-hours which might be put to better use. The present day progressive Negro, who sincerely and earnestly desires light, has become highly critical of the brother who believes that he can point the way to success and prosperity. The every-day Negro man and woman knows that high sounding words and phrases mean nothing unless they present a practical solution of our everyday problems as a struggling people. It would be well for those who guide and direct to heed the signs of the times. The Negro of today is a different being from the Negro of yesterday. The race is fed upon bombast and is crying for something tangible, workable, real. The man or woman who does not have something worthwhile to say can help the race by remaining silent. Less talk and more action is what we need. The members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, who have a compact organization and a well-defined social, civil and economic plan, should be the leaders of the race wherever they are for the furtherance of these life-saving aims, these necessary plans. We can't get anything we want and need by talking about it and neglecting to back up the talk with constructive plans. AN AMERICAN TRADITION VIOLATED THE case of Count Karolyi of Hungary should have a thorough airing in public addresses and in the press. Karolyi's wife was ill in America and he came here to visit her, but he was permitted to enter this country only after giving oath that he would not speak for publication while in this country. He has respected his oath in spite of bitter attacks made upon him by enemies here and abroad. He is a political enemy of the Horthy faction that now rules Hungary, and it was at their instance that Secretary Hughes exacted from him an oath of silence. There would be no quarrel with our government's attitude if Count Karolyi had come as an avowed enemy of American institutions, or if he had tried to foment strife and rebellion. But this is not the case. It has always been America's boast that she welcomed the exile and the merely political offender. The country has a right to know why that tradition has been violated. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS As a race we have a long way to travel in the making. Only the foundation is being laid. The Negro is destined by God to become a mighty race and a power for good, but self sufficiency is a far cry and not yet within his grasp. He still lacks the essentials that make a race successfully great. As a race we must put an end to whatever tends to destroy and obstruct our longing. We can do much toward solving our problems. In place, of awaiting opportunity denied us by the dominant race we should create opportunity. Race pride should awaken us to a sense of duty that is now neglected. We owe a duty to the fine intelligence that is manifested in our young men and women to provide employment suitable and in keeping with talent—Northwestern Bulletin-Appeal. It is high time that the rave devise some plan for its political, economical and social salvation. Isolation is impracticable in a country in which races must of necessity intermingle, as is done in America. The free exchange of opinions and the adaptation to conditions, or the adjustment of them, are the most efficacious means for a political, economical or social salvation. These are not to be had over night; for any lasting change which affects a nation must be gradual. It is incumbent upon us to work to an end whereby our posterity may enjoy the fruits of our labor. And the prime requisite to this is disseminated knowledge.—Washington Tribune. The awakening of racial pride has a real social value. To the person who does not know the problem of race it may appear that adressing racial consciousness is bad; but to the person who knows the Negro, the groundchildren of the slaves, the pressing of racial pride in one of the best things for African as well as for the Negro—Christian Rescuer. The pride of lawlessness hinders education so high that it sturts even those who do not have to pay it—Kansas City Call. group of Negroes who would certainly create much unrest if they were denied the kind of labor they can do. In the next place they develop a group of intelligent and useful citizens who furnish leadership for their group. Christian Recorder. And while we are contending for those things which we consider God given rights, it will behoove us to occasionally remember these potent words: "Physician heal thyself." Charleston Messenger. Some one has said "to err is human—to forgive is divine." Ridicule and criticism must give way to optimism and support. Negro business must be given our hearts and our hands and our money. Confidence must pervade our ranks, for little by little we are pushing ahead. One swallow doesn't make a summer; neither does one bank failure, or a dozen, for that matter, impute a dismal future for the Negro banking business. Upon this theory hang our future and the future of our children's children—Toledo Leader. History Society Founded At Howard University WASHINGTON, D. C.—A group of students of Howard University, specializing in history, foreseeing the benefit to be gained for themselves and the race by deep study and broad research in the field of history recently organised "The Historical Society of Howard University." The purposes of this organisation are four-fold: 1. To stimulate an interest in and to reward those students who achieve high scientific ranking within the department. RICH HASTI AWAITS WISH DEVELOPMENT tion Lacking in Statesmanship Only Drifts Schools and Banks Are Needed-Export Tax a Hindrance Written for the Negro World By THEODORE HOLLY Haytt's needs are great. They are well night universal; for if her people have achieved a remarkable degree of culture, it has been at the expense of the misses and in defiance of sound policy and common sense. Our leaders have persistently built from the top, with never a thought of consolidating the foundations laid by the original Founders whom death overtook before their work could be completed. Through the long list of Presidents who successively assumed the reins of Government, not one, save the martyred Cincinnatus Leconte, has ever attempted to re-enforce the foundations or prop the National structure, by stimulating the extension and development of the existing national industries, or providing for the organisation and growth of other so-related activities. In other words, we have never had but three real statemen at the helm; L'ouverture, Densalines and Christophe. Since their disappearance from the scene of action, all the successive Chiefs have been to a greater or lesser extent, nothing more than egistical, near-sighted politicians. As Lady Dibrothy Mills said, Haylians are dreamers, and idealists. We have lived in the clouds or slept so soundly on our laurels, that our country is practically as undeveloped to-day as it was a century ago, when our ancestors passed it on to us here from the effects of the devastating war of Independence. Being still a virgin country, Hayli offers unlimited opportunities for pioneers in any and every branch of industry and commerce, especially so to prospective farmers. The climate is sunny and salubrious. From late Fall to early Spring the temperature is pleasant and balmy, being cooled by the mountain breezes that are waffled down from the hills every morning and by the sea-breezes that begin to fan the atmosphere just after the sun has crossed the meridian. The land is mountainous, with deep forests, threaded with streams. Fruits can be bad for the picking and is so abundant that it stays and rots on the ground. The soil is so fertile that it easily produces three crops of corn a year. So much so that, notwithstanding the archaic mode of farming that is still practiced there by the crude peasant, who cannot tell A from B, the nation has existed to this day, with the added burden of the American Occupation, chiefly on the revenues accruing from the yearly crops of three staple products—coffee, cocoa and cotton. We have a large variety of vegetables and quite a number of cereals; but their production is limited to the proportion of the local demand, because our government restrained the exportation of these articles to the neighboring islands, such as Imagua and Cuba, where they were in great demand. There is no doubt that there is much to be done; that every thing is waiting to be organized. We need thrift banks and agricultural banks. We need factories to utilize our various textiles, to manufacture soap, matches, hats, shoe-polish, etc. We need plants to refine our cocoa and can our surplus fruits for export. And above all also schools, schools after, the order of Hampton and Tuskegee, where our youths may receive the substantial training that will mould them into well-rounded men, alive to their unusual opportunities and prepared to meet them adequately. Schools, again, like the National Training School for Women and Girls, at Washington, D. C., where the women of our laboring classes may retrieve the time they have lost, or seek out the opportunities that never passed their way. Where a new type of Harytan girl will be evolved; attractive, of course, but endowed with vim; so as to give the nation, eventually, a generation of wide-awake energetic boys who, not being afraid to spoil their hands, with hard work, will give the blessed country the impetus it needs to start it once more on its upward course. KANSAS CITY, Mo. March 2. Bishop, A. J. Carey, of the A. M. E. Church of this district, has issued a call to all the ministers and churches of the fifth Episcopal district, over which he presides, calling an educational and historical congress to be held in the First A.

NATURE'S ARTS By J. M.

HEALTH TOPICS Beds and Doctor Bills What part does your child's bed play in cutting down the doctor's bills? Many a child has no diseased tonsils, no adenoids, good teeth and, is apparently in healthy bodily condition, is not well. How many times have you said: "Rose and George had their tonsils out last fall, and they have had the best dentist I could find to take care of their teeth. The nurse said they would be stronger after that was all attended to, but they aren't. They are cross and nervous, and while their appetites are good the food doesn't seem to do them any good." The truth is that you can correct any bodily trouble, take away any little focus of infection, as we call such things as diseased teeth or tonsils; you can give your children substantial meals of good foods beautifully prepared; you can give them the daily bath they should have, and, in short, do all the things which make for health, and if you leave just one thing out you will fall to keep them well. Tifat thing is sleep. "Oh," you say, "they get plenty of sleep. They go to bed" when we do and get up an hour later in the morning." Not enough! Fathers and mothers not enough! Children are in the growth period, you know, and they need at least ten hours sleep a night and many of them need twelve hours of sleep every night. Nature demands a long resting period taken all at one time in order to build that body and overcome the effects of a child's endorous output of energy. You all know that, even babies are moving all the waking time! You have often wondered how they could keep it up so continuously. Children in their school work and play are making terrific demands upon their bodies, especially upon their nervous systems. If there were no sleep at all the body would die from exhaustion. If there is insufficient sleep the body pays for it, and in children there is nervousness, failure to grow and to gain. Sometimes there is loss of appetite and all sorts of trouble, such as indigestion. School work goes badly because the child cannot study, has not sufficient energy to keep the mind on anything. These little folks are irritable and nearly "drive the parents wild." They are the ones who are always getting into trouble. If you want well, happy children who stay well and do not catch all the diseases which are going the rounds, among other cares see to it that they are put into bed every night at a regular and early hour. Post Graduate for Physicians at Howard WASHINGTON, D. C.—For a number of years it has been the custom for Howard University School of Medicine to conduct intensive post-graduate courses in medicine and surgery for six weeks immediately following commencement. The courses offered this year have assumed larger proportions than ever before. In that the Medical School is working in conjunction with the School of Public Health. This arrangement gives a much wider scope to the post-graduate courses heretofore offered, and affords the practicing physician an opportunity to advance his knowledge along the lines of public health, that new phase of medicine which is so rapidly pushing to the front. By the arrangement affected, physicians may study any of the surgical and medical specialties which they most desire, and at the same time link them up with public health principles and their application to the practice of medicine. This affords the finest sort of opportunity, and from present indications, it appears that many physicians will avail themselves of it. The demand of the public, which is growing daily, for complete physical examination, makes it necessary that the up-to-date physician fit himself for public health practice. The United States Public Health Service has pushed their most wholly co-operative in preparing this course and many of their experts will give lectures and demonstrations throughout the district. All health company and sympathies will probably be a most important point in securing the desired health. All the specialists will be the doctors including hypnosis, psychotherapy, and other specialties. ```markdown ``` stately pomp and pride that pledge ungarnered years, by shores, where human ears new incoming tide— ers o'er oceans wide y homes, by smiles and tears, fearfulness our hopes and fears. of else denied. are but Nature's tools, ought to her enduring plan— haunts the loneliest pools, sting a wind that cools, star no eye can scan; he's Arts, whose crown is—Man! THE FAMILY BIBLE IS NOT WHAT IT WAS The Way in Which It Was Reverenced and Used in Former Days No Longer Obtains From the New York "Times" Mr. Coolidge will take the oath of office next Wednesday on the Coolidge family Bible, the same on which he was "sworn in" by his father in the modest home on the "Coolidge place" in the Vermont Plymouth. We don't know how long this Bible has been used, by the Coolidge family, but it has been a household treasure "for generations." It will recall to New Englanders and men and women of all least the older or oldest generation of other regions what a center and memorial of the household, the kin and the klan "the old family Bible" was. It was the library, supplanted, let us say, by the "Works of Josephus," "The Pilgrim's Progress," Baxter's "Salins' Rest," "Rollin's History," "The American Preceptor" or some similar work, "Watt's" "Hymns." In many homes it had as its attendants impinging tomes of "Commentaries." Kitto's "History of the Bible" Barnes "Notes," devotional books of one kind and another—peeking through the glass of old bookcases in the memory, many could almost make a catalogue of the simple reading of those simple times. Once the whole speech of Tankees was full of reminiscences of the Bible. That was the only dictionary of familiar quotations. The raccess, simplicity and splendor of that Jacobian English seeped unconsciously into the general mind. Sunday school, at least two sermons every Sunday, full of passages from the Bible, "family prayer," where part of it was daily read, "left in ineffaceable impressions. Many made it a rule to "read it through" every year. Old Indies in white caps, with brooches at their broad white collars; old gentlemen with Roman noses and high of coat collar, stock, and dickey, were supposed to pass their leisure, their whole day, for that matter; in reading the Bible, though a few, still frivolous and worldly, had accumulated or inherited from the eighteenth century old novels, Spectators, Tattlers and whatnot. For two hundred years, at least, the commonest library consisted of the Bible and works of devotion. These were many Bibles, but the "family Bible" stood by itself. It was an heirloom. Sometimes it was a great folio from Oxford or Paternoster Row, containing also the Apocrypha. Whatever the place of imprint, there were blank leaves at the beginning and end and between the Testaments, where were kept the "family records", sometimes appearing also in samplers, the work of generations of plaus, patient fingers, on the wall. Many New England genealogies are series of biblical names, sometimes most unusual ones. The births, deaths and marriages of those humble folk, inscribed in the Book which to them was the unquestionable and awful witness of the past, the present and the future into which birth, life and death were but three stages of initiation, are among the most touching of mortal registers. The history of the family incorporates itself, with the history of, God's dealings with men. The mortal seeks to put on immortality in this divine charter of it. So this "family Bible" of the Coolidges will bring back to many, no matter how long or how far strayed from the "faith of the fathers," at least the piety of origin, of old associations, of home; of the days when people had homes, instead of being flattened into flats apartments, as the essential Turveydropism of man and realists his taught us to say. An effort to organise relief for political prisoners in all countries and to organise international work for their release has been announced by a newly formed committee known as the International Committee for Political Prisoners. The committee is made up of representatives of minorities from each of the countries with political prisons in a car with American Liberals interested in furnishing relief and protecting criminal impugnants for political views.

Ill.—The first annual meeting of the stockholders of the Victory Life Insurance Company was held at the home office of the company, $361 South State street, on Wednesday, January 26. The meeting was called to order by the president, Anthony Ocrton, and reports were given by the president, vice-president and general manager, I. J. Joseph, medical examiner, Dr Jullan H. Lewis and the secretary. These reports indicate that the company ends its first year, though licensed less than ten months, in a particularly strong position. The company has earned its operations only to the State of Illinois, and writes only ordinary life insurance. Business paid for during 1924 amounted to $753,512 and the amount in force at the end of the year was $887,739, according to the report of the general manager, I. J. Joseph. Report of the medical director, Dr Julian H. Lewis, showed the company and three death claims, amounting to $4,000. One a case of suicide in which the company paid only the amount of the premium received, one an automobile accident, and another death from malaria. The company has $113,301 invested in 7. per cent. mortgages on real assets all of which is owned by Negroes. $24,414.6 invested in railroad and public utility bonds, which pay a high return, and handled all its banking transactions with the Douglass National Bank of Chicago, a Negro Institution. Total assets of the company at December 31 amounted to $167,140.98. After deducting the required reserve of $7,145.14 and other liabilities, totaling in all $8,603.05, the capital and surplus remains $157,537.93 This is an extra protection to polycholers, amounting to quite one-fourth the entire amount of business in force. Following the report of the president, Anthony Overton, the stockholders voted to amend the charter of the company; increasing the capital from $100,000 to $125,000, and the number of directors from fifteen to fifteen. New directors elected to the board include Dr. P. M. H. Saxery, physician; Mrs. Gertrude Saxery, druggist; of New York City, and V. D. Johnston, secretary of the company. At the meeting of the board of directors following the stockholders' meeting the 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 Schleck, manufacturer of Bulgarian Herb Tea. If you are tired, weak nervous with so apprehice or lack the energy and wished to perform your work—don't wait another day. Go to your druggist and ask for Bulgarian Herb Tea in the red and yellow box. Sold in two sizes, 75g and $1.25. In case your druggist cannot supply you with the genuine Bulgarian Herb Tea that will improve your blood, I will send you my large size box postpaid for $1.26. Address me H. H. Von Stephan, 5. Marvel Building, Pittsburgh, Pa. Note: If you will send She in stamps, I will send it C. O. D.

D. Johnston, secretary. Other members of the board of directors are Dr. L. K. Williams. Dr. Edward S. Miller, Major R. R. Jackson. W. E. Woodard, Thomas Samuels and Mrs. Gertrude Savory. The board of directors endorsed the management of the company evidenced in the report of the officers and authorized the immediate underwriting on the additional 1,000 shares of stock. BOBBY RISDEN, AND AL CLITTY DRAW IN FAST BOUT 8v CAP Harlemites and Bronxites turned out in vast numbers at the Commonwealth Hall on Saturday night. In order to see which group would leave the club victorious, as the two former groups had sent their best featherweights to throw gloves in the same ring at the same time. Did they do that thing? Well. If you doubt me, just ask any of the boys that were lucky enough to get inside, and they will tell you that it has been many a day since they have seen such a fast battle. Both boys were in the best of condition, for the great amount of endurance they displayed showed that they were well trained for the fray. The boys must have gotten the low down on their fight, because as early as 5 p.m. they were tired up solid, an at 5:30 the reserves had to be in hand to check the stumpede on the entrance door. It would be wise for the matchmaker of the club in question, in the person of Jesa McMahon, to book these two boys for a return bout in two or three weeks or so, for it. Every bout on the card was won in real form, the fans sure got their money's worth, and they did not hesitate in saying so. The star bout next Saturday night is between Kirkstall and Bob Lawson, this should be a peach without question, so get in early boys or you will be left without. Friday night at Madison Square Garden Battlefight Skii meets Paul Berlenbach in the main event. Larry Estridge meets Frankie Schooh in the semi-final. This will be a night full of works, as we learn Skii is out to give Paul what Larry could not give the boy. Mixed bouts and your house will be packed every time. STANDARD OF PROVISION FOR NEGRO WELFARE ATLANTA, Gp., Feb.-What provision should a fair-minded community make for its colored population? In the effort to answer that question, the staff of the Commission on Inter-racial Cooperation, in session here, has formulated the following as a suggestive minimum standard of community provision for Negro welfare as to schools, health, economic improvement and public welfare institutions. Equitable distribution of school funds, both for maintenance and buildings; Jeanes Fund supervising teacher for colored schools of the county; erection of at least one Rosenwald school a year until the needs are met; erection and maintenance of a Central training school; colored parent teacher association which receives the cooperation of the white association; colored public health, nurse and adequate hospital facilities; colored farm and home demonstration agents; proper provision for Negroes in fails, almshouses and juvenile detention homes; juvenile probation officer or advisory committee; humane and judicial administration of the law, without discrimination as to race. This standard is being put into the hands of local inter racial committees throughout the South, as suggesting practical lines of effort. In the main it is thought to be well adapted to every community where there is a considerable colored population. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 1926 Let's Put It Over INTERNATIONAL FOLLIES, FAST STEPPING SCENIC REVUE AT THE LAFAYETTE Successful Producers of Popular "Harlem Rounders" Are Startling Theatregoers With Unique Show The "International Follies," the attraction next to follow the "Harlem Em Rounders" at hit Lafayette Theatre this week, is credited with being the equal if not superior to the "Harlem Rounders." "Harlem Rounders" was preclaimed one of the best spectacular revues ever presented to a Harlem public. Crowded houses have witnessed this pleasing attraction and the highest praise has been given. This week the "International Follies," which is being presented, is made up of the same all-star cast and dashing chorus which put over the wonderful production last week. The Follies will be staged by Frank Montgomery, with the music by J. Rossemond Johnson, the talented individuals who were sponsors for the "Harlem Rounders." Having delivered the goods to the patrons of the Ladygate, the theatre-going public can rest assured that they will be entertained with at least two and one-half hours of real enjoyment with their latest vehicle. Everything is new, costumes, scenery effects, etc., and the production has been given a thorough preparation. J. Rosamond' Johnson and his band, Billy Higgins, Abbie Mitchell, Florence McClain, Guilford and Brown, Dewey Wineglass and His Dancing Demons, Eddie and George, Peat and Brown, Elise Bennett, Kitty Brown with a dainty, dashing chorus, is the clever talent presenting this wonderful extravaganza. Novelties are presented in rapid succession which are filled with surprises. With no advance the popular prices prevail: Mattresses, 25c and 50c; night, 55c, 80c, 75c, 90c. On Friday mid-might the usual gambol is given, so do not miss the opportunity of seeing one of the greatest attractions now before the public. BRITISH-RULE IN NATAL HARD ON THE NEGRO (Continued from page 2) "I am going to 'bail myself," I said. "How much money have you to bail yourself?" "Five pounds." I assured him. "Well, you'll have to have ten pounds bail." "Well, will you send one to notify the commander of my ship?" "What ship are you on?" I am a member of the crew of H. M. S. Trent, fleet messenger bout No. 14, at the government pier. I assured him. "They'll know you are here in time," say he, "throw him in the backup," he ordered, pointing to two barefoot Zulu policemen nearby. These two men took hold of me and led me away to the backup, one inserted the key and opened the door, lying out of sight of the desk servant, they delayed me to the door of the backup and tried to say something to me, but I could not understand them. I could have seen by their faces, however, that they were not against me, but rather in sympathy with me. Closing the door quietly, they locked it and departed, leaving me for the first time in my life between the walls of a prison, where I remained, lying on a haze concrete floor with a slanted concrete beam for my pillow until 9 a. m. the next morning, when I was taken to the Court House on the esplanade to "alpine before the judge for trial." At about 8 o'clock on that morning I was called up and given some liquid in a rusty tin can and two biscuits, which seemed to have been made of flour and cement. I could not manage them, although I tried, so I threw them up into a corner of the jail, where they remained. Just then the white policeman who arrested me appeared. Leaning towards the bars of my cell, he inquired, "Well Nigger, how do you like Natal?" "I shall tell you one day," I replied unconsciously, for I knew nothing about Africa, being for the Africans, at home and abroad at that time. 141 W. 123rd street, New York City.

N. I. A. TAKING ON NEW LIFE EVERYWHERE (Continued from page 4) sufficient time to put the year's program into effect, and all must realize now that the motto is work and not talk. "I would like to send a message," he continued, "to the divisions throughout the world so that they may know that the Universal Negro Improvement Association has got a boost, another boost. Members are displaying greater loyalty, delinquent members are paying their back dues, divisions are becoming financial, new divisions are being formed, and over the entire length and breadth of the world, even in far-off Australia, the people are standing one hundred percent "back of Marcus Garvey and the U. N. I. A. "The Hon. Marcus Garvey knew what he was doing when he gathered Negroes together. He knew that the time had come for action, and choosing the psychological moment, he launched this great association and the people responded. Therefore, do not worry. The Universal Negro Improvement Association throughout the world is 100 percent intact, and we have no fear whatever of anything interfering with the wonderful program which has been so well mapped out. "Our recent experience is only another boost. We are now getting service for nothing. Yesterday I received a telegram from Hon. Marcus Garvey, asking me to convey to you his greetings. I trust that each and everyone of you realize now more than ever your duty and the great responsibility that falls upon your shoulders." DR. RAWLINS REPLIES TO THE ENEMY Dr. E. Elliott Rawling was the next speaker. He said the New York Times had an editorial on March 4, with this question: "How many Negroes does he speak for?" That was the caption. And it went on to say that on Monday morning the Associated Press was deluged with telegrams sent to President Coolidge, asking for clemency for Marcus Garvey. The editor wanted to know, "Did those meetings really occur, and if they did occur were there intelligent Negroes present?" When I read the I had lots of work to do, and if there was anybody slick on those two days, I am hoping they are better now, because I could not do my work. So I sat down and wrote the following letter to the editor of the New York Times: To the Editor of the New York Times: "Sir—In the issue of the New York Times of March 4, you ask this question: "For how many Negroes does he speak?" This was in reference to "the great numbers of telegrams reaching the Associated Press office in Washington, telling of large and enthusiastic meetings of Negroes in many parts of the country, at all of which resolutions have been passed, demanding clemency for Marcus Garvey now in Atlanta Penitentiary." You state in this editorial that the more intelligent members of that race cannot be jaking any part in such meetings if really held! May I inform you that the meetings were really held, and that at these meetings were present not only intelligent Negroes, but also those of the more lowly and unintelligent class. I was present at the New York meeting, with 5,000 Negroes assembled, unanimously sent one of the telegrams to President Coolidge. At the same time Negroes assembled at the meeting places of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in different parts of the United States, and did the same thing as at the New York meeting. This demonstrates the perfect and extensive organization of which Marcus Garvey is the head. Undoubtedly there must be some urge, which I believe is spiritual in nature, which brings so many Negroes together, and in the face of persecution, obstacles and ridicule, they still tenaciously, cling to the program of the Organization and its leader. This is a new phase of Negro race development which I believe the white people have, not yet, sensed, and causes white people to say and write as you did that Marcus Garver "has a considerable command of words, but nothing to say." You have not 'detected as yet what Negroes in large numbers are thinking and striving for, and thus you cannot understand or appreciate the motive and the program of the extensive organization of which Marcus Garvey leads. Your point of view (as a, white man) is quite different to that of a large mass of Negroes both in America and abroad. What appears to you "grotesque, half ridiculous, and half pathetic" to thousands, yes millions of Negroes, appears magnificent, lofty and sensible. You write that these "Garveyites can ensemble big crowds, all cheering him and his crazy schemes, for a black empire in Africa with himself as its emperor and dictator." You are partly right and partly wrong. Millions of Negroes do not believe this "black Empire in Africa" to be a crazy scheme; neither does Sir Harry Johnson, who in a recent article, stated that "the section of Africa south of the Sahara Desert will ultimately be controlled and ruled by black people." Now, as to Marcus Garvey being the emperor and dictator, you are misinformed. The whole program of the organization is for racial cohesion on a definite purpose; that of a homeland in Africa, with those cultural and spiritual characteristics peculiar to the black man. It is the urge of the "New Negro." It does not call for Marcus Garvey as emperor or dictator. I have read the constitution, the program and aims of the organization, and I believed I am capable of understanding so simple and logical a plan. It does not call for the wholesale migration of Negroes to Africa, but for their help, financially, morally and educationally, in the consummation of this homeland in Africa. Is this a crazy scheme? From the white man's standpoint, yes. From the Negro's standpoint, no. For how many Negroes does Marcus Garvey speak? He speaks for many millions, and they do not consider him "one of their very worst enemies." F. ELLIOTT RAWLINS, M.D. 8 West 103rd St., New York City. MRS. GARVEY'S ADDRESS Mrs. Amy Jacques, Garvey was the next speaker. She said: It is certainly refreshing to sit and hear speeches from persons like Dr. Kawlins and Miss Rumford, who are not actively connected with the Universal Negro Improvement Association. I am sure of Mr. Garvey were here, he would be glad to know we have so many friends in our ranks and out of our ranks, who are properly interpreting the aims of the organization. I saw Mr. Garvey last week, and he was suffering an attack of brochial asthma. I have received several telegrams and letters from him, and he is feeling well now. The speaker next referred to the manner in which several Negro newspapers were treating "Garvey news" their sole aim being to increase their circulation. It was for right thinking Negroes to refuse to buy such papers which were a disgrace to the rage. Not only that, but newspapers which made their business, merely to feature rape and murder and other damnable things about the Negro should be given a white berth. Negroes should read only the best. Negro literature, and not hamper the intellectual growth of their children with the pernicious stuff fostered upon them. Mrs. Garvey aroused enthusiasm as she conveyed to the vast audience Mr. Garvey's special greetings, and his satisfaction over the manner in which they were rallying to the support of the movement and were conducting themselves. A Talk to the Men In an outspoken talk to the men, she hade them protect their womien, so that they would not be at the mercy of men of other races. It palned her to sit in the subway and see how men of other races looked at women of her race with the greatest of contempt.

When she went South, and asked a white conductor a question, he did not even delign to answer.

This was not time for criticising, it was the time for every real man of the race to shoulder his burden and work for the Universal emancipation of the race. HON. C. S. BOURNE'S ADDRESS Hon. C. S. Bourne, chancellor of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, was the next speaker. He said: I feel it my duty to come before you at this time every Sunday night, and whenever I can during the week, particularly as our President-General is temporarily taken away from us, and he has such fit to appoint me a one of his representatives in his absence. We all owe a great duty to the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We also owe a great duty to Marcus Garvey. There are some people who say we should not idolize Marcus Garvey; I idolize nobody—I idolize the principles he brought into the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and in idolizing the Universal Nekro Improvement Association, it is impossible to divorce Marcus Garvey. I trust my mind back one hundred and twenty years when the power of the British Empire on the sea was threatened by the great Spanish Armada, and up to the time when Nelson, the great British Admiral in command of the British fleet, which routed the Armada, flashed his deathless message. England expects this day every man will do his duty. Nelson lost his life, but the British Empire, remained intact and flourished to this day. So we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association must take as our slogan today in this crisis The Universal Negro Improvement Association expects every man, woman and child to do his or her duty. Do this, and we need fear nothing. The S. S. Booker T. Washington The speaker then proceeded to spike rumors broadcast by the enemies in regard to the ship, the S. S. Booker T. Washington. He read two telegrams which he had received from the Hon. G. E.

Marcus Garvey should be sent to was well, and that the ship would clear from Jamaica the following day. Concluding, he said, he had once again to thank the membership of the New York local and the membership of the divisions throughout the country for the very liberal support they were extending to the association at this time. The measure of support, which they were receiving, gave him the greatest encouragement to carry on the good work as far as he was able. RHEUMATISM A Remarkable Home Treatment Given by One Who Had It. In the year of 1893 I was attacked by Muscular and Subacute Rheumatism. I suffered as only those who are thus afflicted know for over three years. I tried remedy after remedy, but such relief as I obtained was only temporarily. Finally, I found a treatment that cured me completely, and such a pitiful condition has never returned. I have given it to a number who were terribly afflicted, even bed-ridden, some of them seventy to eighty years old, and the results were the same as in my own case. I want every sufferer from any form of muscular and sub-acute (swelling at the joints) rheumatism to try the great value of my improved "Home Treatment" for its remarkable healing power. Don't send a cent; simply mail your name and address and I will send it free to try. After you have used it and it has proven itself to be that long-looked-for means of getting rid of such forms of rheumatism, you may send the price of it, one dollar; but, understand, I do not want your money unless you are perfectly satisfied to send it. Isn't that fair? Why suffer any longer when relief is thus offered you free? Don't delay. Write today. Mr. Jackson in responsible. Above statement true. THE NEWS AND VIEWS OF U.N.I.A.
