The Negro World

PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK SEVEN CENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE U. S. A. TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES Christmas Message Fellow-Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: Another Christmas is to be added to the ages of eternity, and Christians everywhere are to be made glad because to them the Prince of Peace is again to be born to the world. In our glee let us not forget the truth that "in the midst of life we are in death," and the best we can do is not only to be at peace with ourselves but with the Christ and to be just to all mankind. If we must die in Christ, let us also live in Him, and that can only be made true when we have made our conscience clear with our neighbor and the world. Let the Christmas of 1925 be one of love, cheer and justice to our fellow-men. Within the Universal Negro Improvement Association let us purge ourselves of deceit, corruption, intrigue, graft, malice and self-seeking. Deceiving, we fool none, but ourselves, for the wisdom of none is so great as not to be fathomed by the Almighty Mind. Let the membership be more vigilant in seeking after righteousness within the organization and have one and all unite for the grand cause of Africa's redemption. "Men may come and men may go," but let the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association go on forever, is the profoundest wish of my heart for this Yuletide. My compliments and very best wishes I convey to all, and may the New Year find you with a more fixed determination to continue the arduous journey toward the land of promise and of light—the land of our fathers. A better time is coming, and I pray that you work and live to embrace the day. Until then let us ever look forward and be on guard. Sincerely yours, Hon. G. E.

The National Association of Christmas Seals, www.nationalassociation.com - 300 Baldwin St. My recent trip to the Pacific Coast more than confirmed the many attestations to the truth, that the unjust imprisonment of Marcus Garvey has given the Universal Negro Improvement Association great impetus. "For it is evident and conclusive that the lessons he has taught by way of racial consciousness, solidarity and belief in our own possibilities are well learned and appreciated. It is also clear that many thousands of Negroes, who are not identified with our organization, have come to know that Garvey and the U. N. I. A. are rare racial assets. This truth has been sent home through the efforts to destroy or impede the progress of the organization by imprisonment of its leader. Thousands know and realize that organizations of little value, in cementing Negroes even in America, to say naught of organizing them, throughout the world, are never molested; but when a world movement, made up of the masses and intelligently directed, is gaining in momentum and prestige, it is evident that this movement and its leader are a real menace to those, who are working on destroying a group of people struggling toward nationhood. With Two Ohio Divisions My first stop was in Akron, Ohio, the home of Harvey Firestone. The division here, under the leadership of Alexander Davis, is domiciled in its own home on a wonderful site, and when improved will be every valuable. Large audiences attended each meeting and responded most loyally to our cause. They were a unit in launching the campaign for the release of its leader, Hon. Marcus Garvey. Barberton, a small, but enthusiastic division across the river from Akron, was visited, and a live wire, Win Davis, is the new president. He rings true, and the loyal people are determined to carry on until Africa is redeemed. Kansas City, Mo. came next. President Johnson and his loyal corps of officers staged two successful meetings in two different sections of the city. Kansas City, Kansas, visited each night. This division is destined to record in no uncertain manner the value of the U. N. I. A. to all Negroes, especially those of Kansas City, Mo. Denver, Colo. was reached on Sunday. The president, Mr. Walters, got busy, and the one meeting hold here was a true manifestation of how the new Negro does things even on short notice. Though but a small membership in comparison with many divisions, Denver will yet register in large numbers for our noble cause. On the Pacific Coast Three days traveling from this point brought me to Los Angeles, California.

The two public meetings were well attended, and the membership meeting brought real results in clarifying many a befuddled situation. Los Angeles Division is destined to grow and thousands of the 40,000 Negroes in Los Angeles will register with our membership here. Dr. Venable and the business genius, W. H. Coleman, are numbered in the ranks and rendering valuable service. Every member, put on the Garvey badge and promised to secure signatures to the petition for his release. San Diego, Calif., was our next stop. Our coming was made known only two days before we arrived. W. Wilkins, the president, is a substantial business man and true to the core to the cause and our race. He is able assisted by a loyal corps of race- loving men and women. San Diego will soon come back into its own. We returned to Los Angeles Chapter and held a wonderful meeting in the eastern section of the city. The A. M. E. Church, of which Dr. Efetcher is pastor, was invited with men and women from all walks of life, as well as members of the chapter and division. Mr. Leon, the president, is able assisted by a corps of live men and women, who know how to do things in a successful manner. San Francisco was next visited. President Teal has a loyal membership, which will leave no stone unturned to enroll many more of the thousands of Negroes in San Francisco. The meeting was held in the A. M. E. Zion Church, Dr. Biebs, pastor, and many officers and members of Oakland visited in this meeting. At Oakland, Cal. Our next stop was Oakland, Cal., now the leading division on the Pacific coast. Rev. C. Williams is president and he is aly assisted by an intelligent, young, active corps of officers, who are possessed with a vision and loyalty for the cause. We were domiciled in the new home recently purchased by this division. It is income-producing and will soon be paid for by this wonderful membership. Every Negro in Oakland knows there is a U. N. I. A. and that every man and woman is proud of Garvey's leadership and the program he has given to the colored world for their uplift and advancement. We journeyed to Portland, Org., to find the same spirit and interest in our cause. The Mr. Zion Baptist Church, Dr. Drake, pastor, was used by President Byrd and his faithful officers. Portland is still alive and will continue to make its influence felt in the Ear West for things racial. Seattle, Wash., was reached the day before Thanksgiving. We held our first meeting in the hall of the division Thanksgiving night. This was a meeting held for benefit of all members, those in good standing and those not in good standing. It was well attended, and everybody was given an opportunity to speak out of the fullness of his heart. The following night a public meeting was held under the direction of the chapter, Mr. Bixton, president. The weather was very stormy, but in spite of the inclementy, an excellent audience greeted us and registered on the side of the race advancement and nationhood building. Dr. Moore's church was used. Seattle Chapter is small, but determined. The division is larger, but needs reorganization. All selfish interests will be subsidized and the larger program carried on in the re-organization. The Return to New York We turned our faces toward New York, stopping in Kansas City, Kansas, for three days to assist in helping them to raise $1,000 for payment on a new home. President Flewellyn and his splendid corps of officers are keenly alive to the needs and prestige of our work, and its loyal membership will support the administration most nobly. In a blizzard we greeted an enthusiastic, following in Kansas City, Mo., and then entrained for Chicago, Ill. Arriving in Chicago we found President Wallace on the job and the recently elected officers nobly carrying on in the name of the cause, so dear to our hearts. Success is evident, as long as the will is kept and big alms of our great program are carried on in the interests of a struggling, loyal, sincere membership. Large audiences greeted us on Sunday afternoon and Monday night. We have returned to New York city, the cradle of Negro liberty, which was given birth seven years ago through the genius and leadership of Garvey, the greatest character the world has ever produced, as a champion of the THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1925 AFRICAN NATIONAL CONGRESS HEAD ISSUES CALL TO CHIEFS AND LEADERS FOR CONVENTION TO DISCUSS MEANS OF PROTECTING MOTHERLAND rights of the black people—a champion that will not down when discouraged, maltreated, imprisoned and offered every inducement to be silent on the Negro question and the redemption of Africa. This champion cannot be silent, because he is the embodiment of the truth' he preaches; and the pent-up longings of generations of suffering black men and women find expression in him. Movement Will Live Forever The movement of a people will live forever, because its cause is just; and when our injustices are righted, our liberties secured in the founding of a great and strong nation in Africa, which will speak for, black men and women wherever they are domiciled, then the world will understand, and know that Garvey came not by chance and the Universal Negro Improvement Association was not a mere whim of his brain, but a spiritual movement born of God for the righting of the wrongs perpetrated upon a docile and innocent people for more than 200 years. Calling in Unison for Release of Leader Everywhere this movement is emphasized by increased membership and interest in things racial. This loyal, race-loving, faithful membership, voting in each community in which they live, are crying aloud in their manhood and womanhood rights for the release of their leader; and they firmly believe that our President, Calvin-Cooleldge, will respect the wishes and demands of a trusting and loyal following in releasing this champion of a great cause at Christmas time. Such a step would be highly appreciated by the millions of voters of our organization and other millions who are not active members but associated in our work of redemption of Africa and racial uplift. Then you can add to this the millions of members, throughout the world who look to America as one of the greatest countries in the world for human justice and rights of an oppressed people. The movement of a people will utter one great voice of thanksgiving and joy in exclaiming, "Merry Christmas to the world!" for truly it is merry in that the Christ Spirit has moved our honored President to respect the wishes of God and His follow constituents in sending to us in the vindication of America's honor, Marcus Garvey our President, the founder of what is truly the Movement of a People. (To be continued) From The Workers Herald, Nov. 15 Honoured Gentlemen: I respectfully beg leave, in my capacity as the President General of the African National Congress, formerly the S. A. Native National Congress founded in Bloomfontein in the year 1912 at the instance and inspiring leadership of Mr. Attorney P. Ka Isaka Seme, LL.D., to call your serious attention to the politico-social situation of this land of your fathers in its relation to the Bantu population of the Union of South Africa. Every observer of the trend of events occurring in the political and industrial field of this country will be deeply impressed by the gravity of the situation, and the true parrot cannot but be moved by a sense of duty and grave responsibility to action of one kind or other. Natives Land Act Since the year 1912 there has been talk in European circles of introducing a scheme for the segregation of the Black from the White races of this country, which is claimed to be the best solution of the problem of the relations subsisting between the two races. The first instalment in this colossal proposition was the passing of the Natives' Land Act, No. 27 of 1923, second being the introduction of the Natives (Urban Areas) Bill of 1923, which came into operation on the first day of January, 1924, to say nothing of the Native Affairs Act of 1920. This measure, to my mind was the first and formal declaration, by the Union Parliament that "there is no room for the Blackman in the political organism of this country" or in plainer language, "that the Blackman can have no direct representation by members of his own race in the legislative councils of the land." Then the advent of the Hertzog Government in July, 1924, brought in its train the introduction and enforcement of what has been defined as the "Civilized Labor policy," whereby Bantu laborers engaged in the various and multifarious industries of the country have been replaced by poor whites. This is being done after the African workers have done pioneer work in the field of labor and helped to lay the foundation of the industrial system of South Africa upon a firm and lasting basis. Hortzog's Segregation Scheme The climax of all this policy of steadfast differentiation, discrimination and segregation upon color lines will be reached when, early next year, General the H. J. B. M. Hortong, in his capacity as Minister of State for Native Affairs, will introduce in the House of Assembly an important measure, having for its object the bringing within the realm of practical politics his realistic principles of segregation. Nithirte we have had just as linking of the lines upon which this big scheme is likely to proceed. It is clear, therefore, that the political cow of South Africa is heavy with self; whilst the color or sex of the expected call will be when it is born no product can furnish. The poor television Master can make a better account on it. 3 HIGHWAYMEN BEATEN OFF BY LITTLE NEGRO One Killed, One Malmed, and the Other Bruised in Attempt to Get $6,000 Payroll WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.—Andrew Beckett, Negro messenger, fifty-one years old and weighing 135 pounds, bent off three highwaysmen in an alley, here today and saved the $6000 payroll of his employer. For twenty-seven years Beckett had been a trusted employee of the Frank R. Jelleff Company, which runs dry goods store on P street. This morning, as he returned from the bank with his satchel of money, a disguised Negro met him at the door of his automobile with drawn revolver and told him to attack up his hands. Quick as a flash the little messenger seized the gun, wrenched it from the hands of the hold-up man, hit him in the face and sent him running up the alley. Turning to get his bag, he saw another bad habit who had lifted it out of the machine and, leveling the captured gun on him, fired, and wounded his man. A third bandit appeared, grabbed the money and ran, but another shot brought him down with a fatal wound in the stomach. As a result of the mixup with the robbers Beckett gets a reward from his employer, one of the outwits will do another be a cripple for life and the third, the first to appear, escaped with bruised face, but was arrested later, and found to be Paul "Whitehouse" Blackston, a former White House butler. Blackston was taken to the hospital, where the wounded Negroes were, and one of them identified him as the leader. He had been at the White House during the Wilson and Harding administrations. Police said Beckett weighs less than one-fifth as much as the three who attacked him. were in a whirlwind; they are as a lamb before the shaughter, and as sheep, they are "dumb before the shearers," "so they openeth their mouth." Where this whirlwind will ultimately land them no see can forgive. It therefore behooves every leader of the people, he he chief of royal blood or headman or preacher of the Gospel, or any other commoner, a leader in the political or industrial sphere, to look the facts of the position in the face and ask himself what part he is going to play. In the big task of shaping the ultimate destiny of the race in the direction of safety and of the preservation of our national entity. The masses of the people are looking to the leaders to save the situation. Security of Race at Stake Gentlemen, even as the gravest responsibility rests upon the shoulders of a mother for the safety of the life of a newly-born child during the period of infancy and of utter blindness and helplessness, even so upon the shoulders of the leaders rests the gravest responsibility and answerability for the security of the life of the masses of the African race. To reach our great objective, even the political and industrial salvation of the race, as well as the redemption of Africa for the free habitation of the black races, every leader of the race must be prepared for the supreme sacrifice, that sacrifice of position and of self and of possession. It is imperative that the material resources of the race be effectively and fruitfully utilized in the direction of sending a deputation to Cape Town during the sessions of the forthcoming Union Parliament, whose duty it shall be to watch the proceedings of Parliament when the great government scheme of segregation is being evolved into some tangible shape. Chiefs and gentlemen, is it not high time when Black South Africa should take definite steps in the direction of the realization of the great slogan of our Chiefs and leaders, past, present and future: "Maylaybuye 1. Afrika," "Afrika a boeze." With these observations I humbly and yet strongly and confidently beg to appeal to our paramount and other Chiefs ruling the great Territories of the Transkeel, Zulukland, Swaziland, Sekukunland, Bechuanaland, etc., to take into their serious consideration the question of the advisability and expediency of meeting with other representatives of the race in a National Convention at some centrally situated centre, say Mifonfontein, during the next New Year Holidays when a review of the whole position would be made and ways and means devised for the safe guarding and protection of the THE NEGRO WORLD STAFF begs to extend to the african- ous agents, subscribers, readers and friends of The Negro World best wishes for a Happy Christmas and a Prosperous New Year. land, civil and industrial rights of their follower, the sons and daughters of Africa.

Among many things it is shown that there are not enough men to go around. The bachelors number 539,700 and the widowers 72,458, while there are 725,884 single women and 223,618 widows. The number of husbands in 865,300, while the number of married women is 877,208. The total number of men is 1,477,450 and of women 1,821,797. London has a large appetite, consuming last year 480,320 tons of meat, poultry and provisions. Billingsgate Market sold 184,080 tons of fish. There was not a single death from smallpox last year. London's 1911 night schools were attended by 117,358 students. Institutional parent relied was given to 69,743 persons. The number of Soots in London is dwindling. While in 1923 there were 25,605, last year there were only 49,881. The resident population of the city, the original nucleus of the metropolitan and business centre, has now dropped from 12,158 in 1911 to 15,500, but the day population increased from 261,661 in 1911 to 436,721 in 1921. The London Council's total expenditure last year was £25,367,971. There were 2,111 fire alarms last year, 227 of them false. The fire damage was more than £900,000. There are 8,038 sqmbs in London. The taxable valuation of the metropolis is more than £500,000,600. There were 19,000 fewer marriages There were 19,000 fewer marriages last year than in 1915 Mummy Antedates Tut's by Thousands of Years Cairo, Dec. 15.—The mummy of an Egyptian king who lived...probably thousands of years before the famed Tutankhamen is the prize which Prof. Reisner of Harvard hopes to find this winter when he opens the mystery tomb of King Sneefru in the shadow of the Great Pyramid. Prof. Reisner will be the first man to put his foot there since the masons walled up the royal dead and left him will his possessions and his offerings ankhamen it was on age of legend. To Tutankhamen, the mummy Reisner in a past so remote that even to Tutner hopes to find would have seemed to belong to a race half gods, half men, who walked the earth, so Tutra tutor told the boy, when the world was young. The experience that awaits Dr. Reisner has indeed probably come to no man who ever lived. For the mysteries that he will profane have awaived his coming 6,000 or 6,000 years—the reign of Senefeu is so remote that his date cannot be fixed certainly within a millennium.

Arizona Relics May Show Tuscan, Ariz, Dec 14.—A disconnected story in Latin and Hebrew inscriptions on leaden crosses and implements of war, believed by some to date back to the eighth or ninth century, may tell of a discovery of America some 700 years before Columbus' renowned voyage. But many scientists are skeptical of the find. Dr. C. J. Sarle, former professor of geology at the University of Arizona and director of the excavation work, asserts that the relics, uncovered recently under the lime kiln near here, may ailed new night on the early history of America. Dr. Sarle has a theory that a group of Roman Jews landed in America about 775 A. D., joined with natives of the Southwest either by alliance or by conquest, and established a kingdom that lasted approximately 100 years until the natives revolted and overthrew the "nation." With the announcement of the discovery, however, from various parts of the nation came dubious opinions from archontologists and scientists on to the validity of the find. Carmagic Hall The Celebrated Colored Tentor Wed. Dec. 30 ROLAND HAYES WILLIAM LAWRENCE Assoc. President TICKETS AT BON-OFFICE READ AND BE WISE The book that every thinking Negro man and woman must read and pass to their children and posterity. Send all orders to Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey Box 22, Station L, New York City Those who are capable of reading the signs of the times aright cannot fall to perceive the growing consciousness among leading members of the white races, as to the resentment which the attitude of their group has aroused in the breasts, of colored peoples. In the last two weeks we have been, considering the instructive article by Lord Olivier Gone, color prejudice in which the writer concluded that if things were to go on smoothly in the future, white people must see clearly by purging their hearts of racial or color prejudices now distorting their vision and judgment. And it is encouraging to observe that a similar note of warning was struck at the recent Church Congress in England. The Bishop of Chichester opened the proceedings of the session dealing with race problems by stating that it was apt to be forgotten that our Lord Jesus Christ was an Asylist and not a European, and also that three of the very greatest saints and teachers of the Church were Afrleicans, namely, Cyprian, Athanasius and Augustine, Lord Willington, a former Governor of India, followed with a speech in which he indicated to his hearers the growing danger of a clash between the white and colored races as the result of the insistence of race superiority by the white races. He warned that some means must be found by which the problem could be solved by peaceful methods rather than by the clash of the races, which would be the most likely tragedy the world may ever know; and he was convinced that the solution lies in the white realizing the necessity of treating all colored men in a spirit of all equality." He urged them to realize that the white races wished to continue their associations with colored people and to influence them in the direction of these destines, "it must be in a spirit of absolute equality, and not by arrogance to themselves any race superiority." Mr. J. H. "Olifham referred to the "sleep and growing antagonisms" existing between different races and said that the long start in scientific knowledge and invention has given to Western peoples a superiority in wealth and power which tended to breed in them, particularly the Anglo-Saxon section in which color prejudice and the sense of race superiority are just accentuated, a sense of superiority, manifesting itself in exclusivity, and social discrimination, which is bitterly resented. "Our trouble" he added, as due to the fact that in our attitude we lack that sense of equality of the equality of men as human beings; and we lack it because we are not Christian enough, which is, perhaps, just another way of saying that we are not human enough." He stated the Christian view, which is that every man, to whatever race he belongs, is first and foremost a human being, and warned his hearers that a solid white front certainly and inevitably meant a solid yellow front, as well as a solid brown front and a solid black front; and he observed that RHEUMATISM If you are MIC with BREAKFAST, SALUTA, LIMBAGO, LAME BACK, GOLF. If you are suffering with LIMBAGO, LAME BACK, PAINFUL SOIN, ACHING HONES. If your BODY is full of LURK ACID FORSOR, if your BONE MARROW is drying up so that you can MARROW, LIME. If your BODY is LOSING NO TIME, Get the medicine! JOYZONE RHEOLYSMATIS MEDICINE (Double Strength) the way to avoid future conflict lies in the consideration of problems from a non-racial viewpoint and in the refusal to be enunciated in the "mattres of capitalism." Mr. Shoran Singha, an Indian, as his name indicates, alluded to the white man's prestige as one of the blindnesses to the solution of race problems, and urged Christians to rid their minds of the idea that God had ordained that the white man was to exercise domination over the black man. God's purpose, he said, was not that men should rule one another, but that they should serve one another. Those are the salient points in the remark- (Continued on page 5) T.

LETS PUT IT OVER A MERRY CHRISTMAS THIS is Christmas week, when all the world is rejoicing and striving to forget the sorrows and the setbacks of the dead year. And there has been plenty of sorrows and setbacks in the lives of most of us during the past twelve months. They are incidents in the average life, from which we can no more escape than from death. But it is good that once a year we can forget the sorrows and setbacks of the dead year and, rejoicing in the present, look forward with a lively hope to a better condition during the ensuing twelve months. We believe with the good poet that "Hope springs eternal in the human breast," and that without it we should all be miserable indeed. The staff of The Negro World extends Christmas greetings to its army of readers and advertisers; to the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, to the President-General and his assistant, to the officers of the High Executive Council, and to all those in authority. May we all be inspired by the rejoicing of the season to go on in the future with the same oneness of purpose and brotherly helpfulness which have characterized our association in the past and made us strong and invincible in the great struggle for a voice to be heard among the favored who have a place in the sun. And all of us join in wishing for our President-General a happy Christmas, with the hope that he may soon be restored to us and be free to guide personally the great work which he has established for the redemption of Africa and the betterment of the Negro people. TEN MILLION MORONS, MOSTLY NORDICS WE are very much surprised often at the conclusions of experts who, after careful study, differ from our preconceptions. We are all prone to take things for granted, as a matter of fact, and are surprised, and sometimes confounded, to find that we were all wrong. We can seldom estimate what a person is worth until he is dead. Many millionaires shrink to pennyites when their wills are probated, and many flashing men rated as masters in intellect and in the activities of their times are forgotten almost entirely ten years after they have been placed ten feet under Mother Earth. And the average person usually imagines he knows it all and would have you think so if you did not have the same opinion of yourself, and we are never free to admit the claims of others when we think we have a clear title to the same claims. It is hard to find an ignorant Negro who does not imagine that he knows as much about anything whatsoever as the wisest and most intelligent Negro. The person who imagines that he knows it all, although he may be densely ignorant, is in no position to learn anything, and must be left alone with his idols, as Ephraim was joined to his. An open mind is the surest way to wisdom and the understanding which makes wisdom effective in our own lives and the lives of those with whom we are associated, whatever the nature of the association. It is quite surprising, for example, to have Mr. Horace B. English, professor of psychology at Wesleyan University, tell us that there are four to ten million morons, people who are mentally deficient, in the United States, simply because, from our contacts, we had imagined there must be twenty times that many. Prof. English says, and what he says will be of interest to every reader of The Negro World, according to a synopsis of his sayings, that: settlements of the New England and the Southern States, where the population has been stationary for ages. The estimate that there are 10,000,000 morons and some 25,000,000 "dullards" in the country is far too conservative, we think. The college morons are all that Prof. English says they are, and the Negro people have more of them than it needs. And they are a very exasperating lot because they make it appear, or strive to, that they know it all. RISE AND FALL-OF SIKI LOUIS PHAL, or "Battling: Siki," as he is known to fame, who has had a very stormy career in Europe and the United States, and who distinguished himself as a soldier in the World War, and as a pngilist in times of peace, is a dead man. He was shot to death in one of New York's toughest districts by "parties unknown," for Siki knew how to make enemies and made them without regard, to his safety and welfare, here and in Europe. He did this because he was a great big child in intellect and culture with a man's physical development and courage. He did not take life seriously at all, and by his escapades here and in Europe was constantly in trouble with the police, but always managed to get by and go on his reckless way, until the bullets of the cowardly assassin cut him down in the darkness of the morning hours in New York. A writer for the New York World has synopsised Siki to the minute in the following paragraph: "Born a Mohammedan, reared a slave, sold at ten into a Christian household, thrown upon his own resources in France at the age of fifteen with a vocabulary of less than 100 French words, elevated finally by his fight with Georges Carpentier to the light heavyweight championship of the world, after winning both the Croix de Guerre and the Medaille Militaire for conspicuously gallant service with the Territorial troops of France in the World War, Siki was buried in Flushing Cemetery with Christian rites because his wife wished it." To be borg in Senegal, Africa, and become a slave, and then a French soldier, and to distinguish himself in the white man's game of war and pugilism, and to receive the attention of the newspapers and the populace wherever he went of three continents, only at last to be assassinated in the slums of a great city, at the age of twenty-seven years—that is the thrilling story of the "Singular Senegalese," a romance in real life stranger than any fiction. Siki, the North African whif, played a high hand and passed out as a human meteorite might, leaving only a red streak which we may interpret as a flame of fire or a streak of deliance, a black phantom moving through the white man's civilization alone and unafraid. Judged from this viewpoint we can all learn much from the life and death of Louis Phal, son of Africa. AS A FRIENDLY WHITE MAN SEES THE NEGRO MR.

He is a broad thinker, and he has very human sympathies, with the courage of his convictions, which all men of his position in the life of the nation do not show when the time to do so arrives. Mr. Darrow showed this to be so when he went to Dayton, Tennessee, to defend Professor Scope from the charge of violating the State law against teaching evolution in the public schools and, again, in defending Dr. Sweet and ten others, at Detroit, charged with shooting into a white mob and killing one of the mob which was besieging the home of Dr. Sweet, in the effort to frighten him into leaving his home which he had purchased and occupied in a white neighborhood. Mr. Darrow came to Harlem, in New York City, recently, and addressed two large meetings, inside and outside of Salem Church. Mr. Darrow spoke straight from the shoulder, and he spoke as a friend not afraid to tell his hearers of their shortcomings. Mr. Darrow is of the opinion that "the sooner the Negroes find out that they can't depend on David and the Lord and get busy for themselves the better off they will be," and, further, "if the Lord was going to do something for you He would have done it long ago." This is radical enough, and is sure to rattle the religious dry bones of the race, and this, too, without regard to the fact that the Lord only helps those who help themselves, and that He has done more for us than we have done for Him. It depends upon the way you look at it, and the Negro World prefers that each reader shall judge for himself as to the facts. On the question of voting efficiently Mr. Darrow said: "The only badge of equality you have in the North is the ballot, and it has been foolishly thrown away. A ballot should never be counted until after it has been cast. Your vote is always counted before the election. Negroes have overlooked their best bet by voting the Republican ticket. "I want you to be independent. Keep white politicians guessing. I don't know, of any better weapon than the ballot. "Let us assume that the white Republicans did go down South and free you; well, you have paid them back in full. In case you don't think you have, vote once more and ask for a receipt. "I blame the intelligent Negroes for being Republican decoys for pay. Negroes have the balance of power in a number of Northern States and cities. The duty of a colored man is, first, to himself and then to his race. I cannot emphasize too much the importance of being independent. Become independent and then they will look for you." These views of Mr. Darrow differ in no essential from the purposes and plans of the Universal Political Union of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, so that we do not need to discuss the matter here. We need only quote him to reinforce the position the association has already made a policy, that the political values of the race, the same as its social and economic values, should be used for the benefit of the race. We have been sold out and misled politically long enough and should begin now to see to it that we are sold out and misled no longer, and Mr. Darrow rendered us a good service by telling us so. (From the Denver Star) Violence cannot kill itself. An idea let loose in the world cannot be justified. It has an immortality all its own. The man who thinks an idea may be imprisoned, but the man he has thought will slip through the hems and fly on an unseen wings through cloud down. Knowledge could kill Sorensen, but it left his men alive, the enslaved Japanese, but his men upon whipping around the world. Violence cannot terrify men into agreement. The call of comfort is loud and men tend to gryp out under the smoke of civilization, but the words of martyrs are hidden in the most chastened hearts. Men who are really afflicted with a depression will still face imprisonment and death by his men. Violence cannot during the months of the干燥. Violence cannot either punish the oppressors. Violence is also disarming it to oppressors. The world held the world hostage long into a common world of violence. The world held the world hostage long into a common world of violence. The world held the world hostage long into a common world of violence. XMAS SPIRIT AMONG VIRGIN ISLANDERS. By CASPER HOLSTEIN President Virgin Islands Congressional Council When a people have begun waging war, for some time against abuses which they detest and denounce it is natural for them to maintain a military mood and to extend their detestation from the measures which have plagued them to the men behind those measures. It is difficult to adopt a mood of general tolerance or good will which shall surmount the inevitable distinctions which very good sense must make between the deserving and the undeserving; between friends and foes. Yes the Virgin Islanders in New York have find so many opportunities for the exercise of the finer feelings in respect of their own countrymen that they find it possible to rise to the level of the universal yuletide sentiment of good will and include even the personnel of the naval government in the islands in their Christmas greetings to the world at large. For at that time in particular we feel the fact at that at least we are fellow travelers toward the grave and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys. Greetings to The Negro World But charity begins at home, and therefore we begin by wishing a merry Christmas to The Negro World. from the vantage of whose kindly columns our propaganda of protest and enlightenment have been so frequently flung like banners to the breeze. And to its staff of editors whose sympathy has been so generously on our side in this great struggle for freedom in a little land. We wish them all the attendant compliments of the season. May their spirit feel in a double measure the glow, of good feeling which should suffuse all hearts at this happy season. We extend the Christmas greetings to all our brethren who were born on this side; who having heard of our grievances from time to time in this and other papers have given us their sympathy and have championed our cafe. And we beg to assure them that the fount of our gratitude will be as eternally open as the clisters of their sympathy. A merry Christmas to all those in other lands whose good wishes have cheered us in our struggle for democracy in the erstwild Danish Islands and especially to our blood-brothers still dwelling in those islands. We wish them in the old West Indian formula "long life, happiness and prosperity." And trust that the fruits of our joint strivings may before long be visible in real and lasting achievement. And lastly we wish a merry Christmas to our friends and enemy. May the spirit of Christmas so enter into their souls that they may see the error of their ways and change them. May they learn to realize that black men as well as white men have souls which can be outraged by hate, hypocrisy and oppression and that it is no crime for us to strive to secure for ourselves and our porosity the blessings of civil government and an equal protection of just laws under the Constitution and tag of the United States. Our light has been a long one, but it has done and is doing us good. It has served to draw Virgin Islanders together as never before. It has revealed to us resources of sacrifice, and co-operation which we had not suspected before, and as our shipment of goods goes forth from New York to our brethren at home we realize that when these Virgin Islanders rise up to bless the name of Virgin Islanders and send us their grateful and kindly prayers in our behalf we have won from this storm struggle some real and very great gains. We are numerically a very small people. Yet it has been given to us to demonstrate to some larger groups some of the practical benefits of unity and co-operation. And the blows which our protests have struck have already had some significant echoes in the committee room of Congress, in the halls of the American Bar Association and in the columns of white newspapers and magazines. All this has gladdened our hearts and 'kept our souls' glare burning brightly so that we wish all the world a merry Christmas and the great joy that springs from the consciousness of having added, however little, to the sum total of human happiness. "Train the Clergy," WASHINGTON—Delving into sixty years.of progress of Negroes in America, Dr. George E. Haynes, former Director of Negro's Economics in the U.S. Department of Labor, and now Secretary of the Committee on Interracial Relations of the Federal Council of Churches, jams the lack of training among the Negro elsevier. Says Haynes, in his *Trend* of the Race*": "Special mention may be made of the need of provision for training ministers. The majority of those now serving nearly 40,000 Negro churches have had very limited training. A recent estimate showed an annual need of 1,900 mem. with only about 100 being prepared in existing religious training institutions." — C. P. H. Sergt. Major, U. A. L. Miami Div., Florida They laid Him in a manger that they had no bed to spare. Coarse travelers had filled the inn and bought the comfort there. And yet that night within the sky, three. Wise Men saw a star And followed it to Bethlehem—how strange these visions are! How strange that from that little child, which in a manger lay, Should come a love to guide the world and give us Christmas day! They named Him Jesus—common name to give a boy back then— And yet He made of it a name to be revered by men. And gentle Mary, poor and scorned and friendless at his birth, Receives the adulation of the richest queen on earth; How strange these miracles divine which light us on our way, A baby in a stable born give us our Christmas day! Now Christmas day has come again. Across two thousand years. Still shines His gentle influence throughout all our doubts and fears. And world-wide over children sing their carols of delight. Just as the angels sang in Heaven that wonderful starry night. Now countless millions turn to Him. His followers to be And to the manger bring their hearts as did the Wise Men Three. And now the stable glows with light and all is bright inside. The humble ranger where He slept by love is glorified! Gone are the tenants of the inn, swept to a naneless doom. While people world-wide worship Him for whom they had no room. How strange these miracles divine two thousand years away. A little child came down to earth and gave us Christmas day! (copyright, 1925, Obediah Barr) EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS Decrease in Marriages; Increase in Divorces The Ugly Record (From the Philadelphia Enquirer) Statistics published by the United States Department of Commerce, which indicate that the number of marriages decreased and the number of divorces increased during the past year, draw a picture of our national family life that is nother inspiring nor encouraging. The falling off in marriages undoubtedly is due very largely to the new economic system, which has opened so many, spheres of industrial and commercial occupation to women. The time they spend in these occupations before marriage, if in fact they marry at all, become longer with the years. And most of these women assert quite sturdily that they have no regrets, whether they hide their secretly or not. Young people meet the costs attendant upon marriage and the setting up of a home with increasing trepidation. It is only a symptom of our times, perhaps, but it is a dangerous and discouraging symptom. The prevalence of divorce may be a phase of the same condition; but it rests more certainly upon the personal equation, the recklessness with which many marriages are contracted and the absence of either ability or disposition by the parties to the marriage bond to get along together. The figures compiled by the Government indicate there is more than one divorce now for every ten marriages. There were 1,175,206 marriages, or a decrease of 3.7 per cent from the preceding year and 176,676 divorces, an increase of 3.5 per cent. Texas, Illinois, Ohio, California and Michigan have the unenviable distinction of leading the States in the number of divorces granted. Fewer Child Criminals WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. — Children apparently are becoming slightly more inclined to criminality in the United States. Research undertaken by the Children's Bureau and the Consus Bureau discloses that 3,330 minors under eighteen years were committed to jails, penitentiaries or other places of penal detention in the first six months of 1923, while the total for the full year of 1910 was 10,000. If racial prejudice is ever, to he diminished it must come through such gatherings as recognize that in all human beings there is some good and that no race has all of the good nor all of the bad. Each race, no matter whether dominant or not, must recognize that it has faults and seek to correct them, and, further, must appreciate the good points of other racial groups.—Cleveland Call. The worth of the race is measured and rewarded in accordance with the worth and character of the people who constitute the group. The race is useful and helpful just in proportion as the community will accept the words of the men and women who constitute it as a commodity worth while.—Atlanta Independent. Power is not shown by hitting hard or often but by hitting straight.—Star of Zion. Self-sufficiency is a bad master. A man who shows himself too well satisfied with himself is seldom pleased with others, and they in turn are very little disposed to like him.—Nashville Clarion. Our appeal is to the Negro to gather in faith, exercise patience and sorrowance. Every day brings us nearer and nearer to a father and better consideration. If we despair now, become impatient and overworried, we lose what we have gained through blood and tears. We need to go forward, sweeping in emotion, treating ourselves, our friends and the God of the Upland, that we working together will overcome some day.—Miningham Robert. By Dr. B. S. HERBEN Of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association If your heart muscle is perfectly healthy and if your blood vessels are also normal and if those mysterious organs called the glands of internal secretion (thyroid, adrenals, etc.) are neither overworking nor underworking, and if the other influences are favorable, then your blood pressure will be correct. Your blood pressure varies with your age. This is normal. Younger folks have a lower blood pressure, and as one grows older it should be expected that the blood pressure shall rise owing to the change in the muscular system and the gradual wearing down of all the parts of the machinery of the body. This chance is due all of us and a change of blood pressure, within limits, is not to be the source of anxiety. Exercise raises the pressure within a normal range and eating will do the same thing. Excitement and emotional response of any intense sort will have its decided influence. Some people had that experience when they were being examined for the army. They went for the physical examination in various stages, of emotional strain and some of them had their blood-pressure taken before the strain wore off and a few were erroneously rejected for service because of "high blood pressure." On follow-up examinations by their physicians they may have been told that their blood pressure was not higher than normal, and the surprise and anger which followed, while natural, were not fair to any of the examiners. Without going into details regarding the machine used for registering the blood pressure, let me say that children have an average pressure of 20 to 105, adults from 26 to 60 years of age register from 120 to 140, and after 60 the pressure goes up to about 150. Blood pressure should be taken when the individual has been resting for a reasonable time, not just after a meal and not when there has been excessive emotional disturbance. The individual should compose himself for the examination so that there may be no falsifying of the reading of the blood pressure through needless excitement. (To be continued.) the caution is not based upon unbounded whim, but upon the revolting truth that within the confines of these United States brutal crime is committed almost unchecked by a portion of the nine-tenths upon the ever-progressing one-tenth. St. Paul Echo. America stands an indicted nation. The insincerity of her ideals and the fairness of her administration of justice are challenged. That an attorney is compelled to admit that he comes into court handicapped by the color of his clients is a severe arrangement of the national conscience. It is acceptance of prejudice as a greater force in the administration of law than considerations of justice. It is admission that emotion and not reason rules American jurors—Cleveland Herald. Not sympathy but justice; not alms but man's chance; not set apart but apart, of the government, just as other citizens, is what we really want. We ask no more and we will not be satisfied with loss—St. Louis Argus. If we ever become bitter and resentful it is not because the struggle is hard and long, but because when our achievements are comparable with those of other men, we are denied the approval cheerfully accorded them—Kansas City Call. are erie: ey Ie A eS.

DIVISIONS CHICAGO ILL. Sunday, December 11, was Juvenile Day in Chicago Division No. 23. The program was rendered by the Juveniles under the direction of Madam Maud Lawson, third lady president, and as usual it was highly entertaining. Following the Juvenile program was an address by Miss M. L. T. de Mena. Immediately before the Juveniles began their program we were addressed by Mr. Frank Farrell, second vice-president. Little Miss Lillian Bell presided during the Juvenile program, while among the others taking part were: Little Roxie Solomon, Elancho Neely and Marcus Garvey Coleman. Their program also contained interesting musical numbers. After the Juvenile program was concluded, Madam Lawson made a few brief remarks, and the gavel was turned over to the president. Hon. W. A. Wallace. After the president apologize briefly on the general principles of the organization he presented Miss de Menn. Amid an outburst of cheerliness Miss de Menn arose and addressed the assembly with her usual fervor on the release of our president-general, Iliom. Marcus Garvey. Her address was very sympathetic and inspiring. It throw much light on the case and gave much information that was hitherto unknown. It enabled us to sense the great amount of good that is being accomplished by Miss de Menn's services on the Marcus Garvey Committee, on Justice. At the conclusion of her address the executive secretary, Mr. E. B. Knox, read a telegram of greetings which was forwarded to the Hon. Marcus Garvey at the close of the meeting. Chicago Division No. 24 is very enthusiastic over the homes entertained throughout the country for the Hon. Marcus Garvey's release. We trust that we will not be disappointed. E. B. KNOX, Reporter. SAN BLAS. REP. OF PAN. The Farm No. 2, Division No. 820 San Blas, Republic of Panama, on the first Sunday of November unvelled her charter before a record gathering, San Blas territory has been newly opened up by the San Blas Development Corporation, for banana and coconut cultivation, and despite the horrible and despicable conditions that endangers the existence of Negroes on the plantations and all destructive efforts brought to bear against the ideals and principles of the U. Neg. A. so as to oust it from the breast of Negroes, the organization is thriving here. High Commissioner C. H. Bryant has succeeded in laying a concrete foundation for Garveyism in San Blas that made Negroes-haters within and without the race realize no power on earth can stop the mighty rushing power of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, nor will they be able to change the ethical and philosophical fundamentals of Garveyism. The opening ceremony was reverent and impressive and brought a concourse not only of members from the various divisions of Farm No. 1, Division No. 822; Farm No. 2, Division No. 823, and Farm No. 5, Division No. 821, but the doubling Thomases who possess jawhones only, and fall short of backhones, manliness and race pride. The spiritual discourse will ever live in the hearts of the hearers, Isaiah 35th Chapter, verse 4: "He strong, fear not, behold your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompense. He will come and save you." "No Archishop of Canterbury could have done more justice to his white race than did the Hon. Charles H. Bryant, who made the audience weep as he explained the reason we we are sufferers in captivity and are trampled and brutalized by the capitalists who are imperial task-masters for their governments. The moral discourse followed with the subject "the beads and principles to be lived up to by the supporters of Garveyism." Here again, the commissioner did not fail to drive home the facts that envelop the movement. The climax came when the four divisions were called upon to unfurl the flags of Panama, the Union Jack for Old England, the Stars and Stripes for Uncle Sam, and the glorious Red, Black and Green, of an Africa redeemed. While this ceremony was going on the secretary of the Governor of the Province and others of the staff arrived and informed the audience they were sent especially to represent the Panamanian Government. The Panamanian anthem was sung and the secretary in expressing his views to the audience said he brought greetings from his government and the confraternity, that humanity desires for the common good of all peoples, races, in our ambitious efforts and ardent desire to rise to our place of nationhood. He said that he was proud of the honor that has been showered on his government and Panamanians in general who owe a debt of gratitude to the Negro peoples domiciled within her borders who have sacrificed their lives for the building and development of the nation.

Addison—both of whom received ap encore, at each rendition, Miss Edelinda Abrahams, lady president, and Mrs. Alice Pagan, did honor to Farm No. 8, while Miss Bernice Watson, lady secretary, kept the audience spellbound with her wonderful elocution, Miss Enrique Malcolm and lady vice-president, and Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Woodham, president and wife did honor to Farm No. 1. Division No. 822, the choir under the directorship of Mr. M. Small and Mr. M. McDonald did honor to Farm No. 2 Division. The hymn "God Bless Our President" and the Ethiopian National Anthem brought the procedure to a close, after which the high commissioner became the centre of attraction among both whites and colored visitors. CHARLES E. GRAHAM, Reporter RIO CANTO, CUBA Rio Caute Division of the U. N. E. A. hold a very successful membership meeting on Thursday, November 19, for the purpose of electing officers to carry on the work of the association. The commissioner, Hon. Richard Bachelor, on this date gave us his second visit. He presided at the meeting and added materially in carrying it to a successful finish. The Commissioner spent four days with us, and during this time he left no stone unturned to give new vision to those who felt like turning back and more energy to those who are going on to push forward. He spoke at length for three nights on different subjects of importance. On Friday night he was compelled to speak in Spanish. That he was thoroughly appreciated was shown by loud and prolonged applause. Sunday, November 22, marked a great day in the history of the division and its members and friends. At 11 a.m., the hour appointed for a morning service, Mr. Bachelor took his text from Nebuchadnei 6-2: "I have a great work to do, so that I cannot come down." The sermon was a masterpiece. It sailed the hour, it suited the day, it suited the occasion, and all who sat under that sermon seemed to hear the voice of the Hon Marcus Garvey from Athens: "I have a great work to do, so that I cannot come down 'till I rebuild the walls of Ethiopia." Sunday evening, at 7 p.m. Liberty Hall was packed again to see the newly elected officers sworn in. The officers installed were: Mr. Christopher Richards, president; Mr. A.

He thanked them for their prayers, their tears, their hopes, and their fears." He said, "We were not in prison for ourselves, but for the Negroes as a whole. We were there for the protection of our lives. Life is at one moment kind and at another moment cruel. If we win in this case we will show the world Negroes are tired of running and mean to protect our homes and our lives. We have money, and God gave R to us to use as we wish, to buy homes or any other thing on earth we desire. Home is the cradle of civilization.

OUR WOMEN and WHAT THEY THINK-Edited by Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey WE feel it our duty at this season of the year to remind those of our readers who are members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association that they should not lose themselves in rounds of pleasure and forget the serious side of life as expressed in the aims and objects of this great organization, but that they should, assemble themselves in their respective Liberty. Malls all over the world and give thanks to God for what has been achieved so far, and pray for added strength and wisdom to carry on to its fruition the grand noble task of Negro uplift and the redemption of Africa. God, the Father, sent His only begotten Son to redeem fallen man. He was rejected, crucified and buried, yet we commemorate His birth with rejoicing and festivities although nineteen hundred years have rolled by. Many of us profess the Christian religion, yet few practise it, the lack of which causes the world to be in turmoil, and despite the millions of so-called converts to the doctrine of Christ, man is no nearer perfection than when God looked down on a world of sin and sent His Son to direct simmers into the path of righteousness. If Christian man would adhere to this Divine Command "Man love thy brother" there would be no need of machine-guns, poison gases and submarines; there would be no need for Negroes to organize and redeem Africa from exploitation; there would be no need for Negroes to mass themselves to protect their very existence against extermination by selfish, cruel races; but man has fallen short of the glory of God and maybe it needs the second coming of a Messiah to set this old world right and to have peace and good-will on earth as it is in heaven. We feel sure that every member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will be saddened, in the midst of his rejoicings when one thinks of the founder and leader of this organization in the cold, damp prison in Atlanta, Georgia, suffering for his ideals—a free and redeemed Africa. This is the common lot of reformers—persecution and suffering. No cause for the betterment of any people survives unless it has its martyrs, and none is worth while unless it is opposed. The oppressor has never yielded willingly to the demands of the oppressed; the weak must always gather strength by organization and force the strong to treat him fairly and honorably, and in the course of this process, leaders we must have—men of character and moral courage, who are not afraid to face any danger and to undergo any suffering in the furtherance of a cause. They will be ridiculed and misunderstood by some who don't want to understand them; framed-up and imprisoned, perhaps assassinated; but all these persecutions only tend to strengthen the movement and to gather more converts to the cause, for after all who does not admire a brave man? Who does not sympathize with the persecuted? Leaders do not think of themselves, it is the welfare of others that gives them great concern. Real leadership is a labor of love; it is spontaneous and knows no regrets, no "ifs" and "buts," no hesitancy and no repining; a goal must be reached, a struggling people must be made happy, and the sighs and tears of the oppressed masses are the living urge that presses one forward despite the forces of even Satan and all his hosts. Do you wonder that leaders have been led smiling to the scaffold? Is it strange that a Negro man should be committed to a prison cell for five years, his only comment to his followers being "Carry on until I return?" Ah, men and women, when we can find such Spatton leaders we should honor them, and try to lighten their burdens incurred in advocating our cause; if we fail, we are ingrates and unworthy of help. Think of home and comforts denied your leader. Picture him, asthmatic and suffering behold four gray walls, and know that leadership is not applause and hurrahs alone, but the test of a strong man.

Olga Degatova strangled her baby, six weeks old, after she had found it had a chronic disease which would make it insane, but would not cause its death for many years. She was sentenced to eight years imprisonment. She appealed. The higher court freed her, declaring she had agreed according to her best judgment of the most beneficient thing for her baby. The court declared she had done the best things for society. German Parents' Idea BERLIN, Dec. 12.—A majority of German parents of children suffering from incurable mental or physical disease are willing to have their children's lives safted out, according to a study made by Dr. Ewald Meltzer. He is director of an asylum for imbecile children in Saxony. Dr. Beltzer reveals in a book just published that he asked two hundred parents of his patients whether they would agree to the premeditated death of their children. One hundred and nineteen answered in the affirmative, and only forty-three were definitely in the negative. Shocked by the result of his questionnaires: Dr. Meltzer states that he made an effort to analyze the motives of the answers and finds that most of the parents who were in favor of having their children put to death were prompted by the desire to rid themselves of the financial and mental burden of defective children. Some of the parents answered: "Hill them, but it must not cost us anything." Others gave long explanations which indicated that they merely desired to be freed of responsibility. Dr. Meltzer states that the answers in the negative were emphatic protests from parents, who declared they would not cease to love their unhappy little ones and could never consent to their being put to death. Dr. Meltzer arrives at the conclusion that, for ethical reasons the killing of demented or physically unfit persons should not be sanctioned by law. Such a law, he states, would not be of advantage to mankind. PARIS - For his massacre of Rifftribes, who are fighting for the independence of Morocco from the domination of French imperialism, Colonel Charles Sweyne of Spartina, Wien, is being raised at the recommendation of Marshal Petuni to the rank of high-grade officer of the Legion of France. This American mercenary, who is being cited by the French government, was in charge of the Shortfall air squadron when guarded thousands of innocent women, children and babies in the mountain villages of Morocco. The Evil of Gossip Millions of men and women have been made unhappy, have endured torture year after year, because of merciless gossip, lightly staged. It is not necessary that people should organize themselves into an initiation of the well-known little trio of Japanese monkeys—one covering its eyes, another covering its mouth, the third its ears with both hands, in order to "see no evil, think no evil and hear no evil." Men and women of character should do more than merely refrain from spreading gossip of listening to it. They should combat it, realizing the vicious cruelty that underlies it.—N. Y. American. A CHRISTMAS PRAYER No holiday has been more desecrated and commercialized than our day of days—the anniversary of the birth of Jesus Christ. We talk of the "Christmas Spirit" in our advertisements as though it were a piece of merchandise. We have come to believe that in order to show our respect for the occasion we must rush down to the jeweler, the cloakier, the hatter, the furrier, the confectioner and numerous other establishments and spend money recklessly in purchasing a lot of gifts which we pass out to relatives and friends with our best wishes and hopes—of getting something in return. - The bestowing of gifts at Christmas time probably dates back to the very date of Christ's birth when the Wise Men came and brought gifts to the Babo in the manger. The exchanging of presents came on later, unoffoubtedly through the invention of some smart merchant who wished to increase his trade. The true Christmas spirit should no doubt consist of a day of memorable feasting and a profound remembrance of the real import of the day. It is most appropriate to engage in exercises commemorating the birth of the Great Gaillean Whose coming into the world changed the standards of men's lives: Whose beautiful teachings have come down through the years and served as a guide and rule to those who have sought for the greatest joy—peace and contentment. Moderate living to those whom we love and cherish; leading assistance to those who are in good, or words of encouragement to the unfortunate, who have stumbled and fallen along life's way; these may be some of the things Christ would do were He upon earth. Let's put a little old-fashioned Christmas spirit into our lives this year. Why not step in the busy rush of the times and write a few letters to those who have gone to other parts of the world. They often a card at Christmas time conveys a more valuable message than a jewel of dazzling beauty.—From The Household Guest. NOTES OF INTEREST Russia's Grudge It is important, for two reasons, that peace with Russia should be accomplished in order to stabilize Europe and indeed the world. If she were on friendly terms with her neighbors and did not feel herself to be an outcast from the society of the European nations she would cease to attack their institutions. It is not so much that the Bolshevik teaching is dangerous to these institutions as the fact that these insistent Russian attacks upon them create a sense of exasperation in the minds of these countries and make them continue to treat Russia as a political nation. Thus the various circle goes on, Russia, in her turn, retaliates in her own way, and the peace of the world is always in a state of prosperity for that reason — David Lloyd Gounsby. He Is From Missouri "I am opposed to American undertaking to act as a guardian for the rest of the world. We are no obligation to preserve the life and the feeling. You argue, Senator Smoot, that, unless we settle these debts the laia and frame will tumble. I say, let them tumble. That's not our business. "What are these European countries doing now that they can't pay us? Take France, for instance, she's down in Africa trying to steal the liberties of a free people. Yes, steal—and I use the word in all of its nastiness."—Senator James Reed. What Religion Means This; then, if conclusion, is what religion means to me—the loibel of that God seeks to express Himself in us, not by a slavish adherence to some trifling form of worship, but by the practice of a principle which was incorporated by Christ in the words: "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as yourself." But who, as yet, is capable of obeying that tremendous commandment—the essence of all true religious practice?—H. Deresford, Marriage and a Career One of the most important things our generation must do is to reconcile these two things, marriage and career. They can be reconciled, of course, because any two things can, if both are true. All good things join together somewhere. Love and marriage are highly educational experiences, whether one takes them in a alum, bachelor or in a palace, and motherhood is supremely important in the development of any woman's character. It is a great pity—we all will at least concede that!—that any woman has to miss these wonderful things—Kathleen Norris.

Their presence was recognized by "Czar Nicholas," as Speaker Longworth has been dubbed, in his opening address to "Gentlewomen and Gentlemen of the House." The offices and desks of all three were gay with flowers, although Mrs. Norton, who has been appointed to the district committee, was the recipient of a double number, as not only her constituents but her district admirers as well "said it with flowers." Two of the women, Mrs. Reijers and Mrs. Kahn, were in deep black for their husbands, whom they are succeeding. For the first time in history a husband learned from the member's gallery to watch his wife take the oath of office, Mr. Robert F. Norton, a business man who leaves politics to this wife, came down from New Jersey to see his wife take her place among the lawmakers. All three are versed in the ways of politics; Mrs. Kahn and Mrs. Rogers were their husbands' companions and co-workers; the other member, Mrs. Mary T. Norton, is a politician "on her own." She is the first. Democratic woman to sit in the House, the first who has taken an active interest in suffrage, and the first machine politician of her sex elected to represent her district. In 1922 she was appointed vice-chairman of the Hudson County Democratic Committee and in 1923 was elected a freeholder in charge of county hospitals and almshouses. On one point the voice of one is the voice of all. The three women Representatives believe that the only way per woman to succeed in politics is to "work with men in the established ways." Mrs. Norton on her first day in Congress said: "There is no song in opposing the old established women must not advocate better things, but they can't unde what it has taken men years to build up, just because they are women. "I wish more real representative women would become active in politics. A woman can help to make the laws, try to better conditions for her children and still run her house efficiently."

Again for the first time in history the Speaker of the House has a woman secretary, Miss Mildred Reeves, for ten years secretary to Representative Longworth. Has been rewarded for good and intelligent service. Any one who wishes to see the Speaker will first have to pass the appraising eye of Miss Reeves. Another experienced and efficient woman, Miss Lillian Durley, secretary to the late Senator Lodge, has the post of secretary to Mrs. Mary T. Norton. The galleries of the opening of Congress were backed with women—they were plying pensils in the press section, crowding the corridors and invading the restaurants. Alice Rossevelt, Longworth say in a side gallery, accompanied by Mrs. William E. Borah and several other women. She followed every word of her husband's speech with the same intentness she has so long given to the debates in the Senate. Afterward she and her friends gave a luncheon. In a private dining room of the House restaurant as a celebration of the installation of the Speaker. An interesting visitor, on the floor was the late Congresswoman from Oklahoma, Alice Robertson, whose figure war a familiar one in the House a few years ago, when she was known as the "Lady from Oklahoma." "Petticoat Rule" Sneer BERLIN.—Baroness Katherine von Cheihl, in whose salon more than one cabinet has been formed and overthrown, has come out in favor of short skirts, in a controversy which is reaching militant proportions in Germany. The Baroness, accused recently of "petition" politics, replied that such a charge was within foundation as she discarded petitions long ago. She says: "Let the birds of creation remember that they, too, are by no means all endowed with comely legs. Yet we women have to look at them. Or would anyone dare suggest that men who fall short of being Adrians should encease their pedal extremities in long skirts?" Diets and Food Values By the Black Cross Nurses of M. Y. Nature, the Great Food Alchemist—Proteins, fats and carbohydrates constitute the organic section of the alimentary principles, and are obtained, at least in the first instance, from the vegetable kingdom. The atmospheric gas contains carbonic acid, likewise depleted from the activities of living animals. Plants alone are able to utilize carbon and with the aid of water build it up into carbohydrates. These are eaten by animals and after being used by them are excreted in the form of carbonic acid and water. Animals after their death therefore become the food of plants, and so it is only right and proper that they in their turn should become the food of animals. Plants agave can extract nitrogen from the soil, and assisted by the carbon in the air build up complex vegetable proteins which being consumed by animals and broken down into simpler chemical elements is the key to the claim made by vegetarians that plant foods alone are endowed with "vitamins" while flesh foods are simply decaying devitalized tissue utterly useless for body-building purposes. Experience not only teaches that this argument is quite erroneous, but evidence is accumulating in favor of the existence in animals of a similar synthetic power. The inorganic section consists of water and mineral salts but practically the only one of the latter consumed as such is common salt (chloride of sodium) all the others being ingested in intimate association with the organic foams. The organic nutrients are again divided into nitrogenous and non-nitrogenous, the proteins belonging to the former, and fats and carbohydrates to the latter section. (To be continued next week) SMILES He's Deaf A woman walked into the police station and exclaimed, "My husband has been the entertainer for some time to drown himself, and he's been moving new for two days!" "Anything peculiar about him by which he may be recognized?" asked the officer, responding to fill out a description. For several minutes the woman seemed to be searching her memory, suddenly her face bristled. "What are you doing?" No. Indeed The bldd. was very ambiguous, but the cook looked up a her with pity, "I want to hear to joke the jelly," said the former, "is it hard?"

Truth of Mr./Garvey's Teaching Plainly Seen To the Editor of The Negro World: Those who Believe that what the Hon. Marcus Garvey is teaching Negroes through the Universal Negro Improvement Association is only theory, and can never be realized should consider the many things that he has said during the life of the association which have already come to pass, and so proven his foresight in regard to things which concern the race. He has been put into prison for preaching the truth; but those of us who are outside can plainly see that the truth is marching on in spite of the imprisonment of the teacher. The truth has come when the world can see that the Negro is no longer hanging his head and begging for the things that are rightfully his. Marcus Garvey has pointed the way, and the new Negro will never turn back. A. S. MORRIS. Central Marcargo, Cuba. U. N. I. A.. Is Combating And Changing Conditions Negroes do not realize how fast they are gathering strength throughout the world. The gain has been so gradual that it has been hard to see as we went along. Those who are who are gathering strength to combat and change conditions. Those who understand the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the teachings of the Hon. Marcus Garvey know that our only salvation lies in this direction. I have been a member of this organization for the last five years, and the longer I stay in the organization the trimmer I become in my convictions. I am determined not to lay my arm down until the battle is over and the victory for Negro freedom is won. I am pumping all of my hopes upon God, and the Hon. Marcus Garvey. I am determined to fight on and never grow weary. J. G. O'Dell. Pittsburgh, Pa. Sending Messages of Cheer To Negroes of the World The Universal Negro Improvement Association and its mouthpiece, The Negro World Preserve prabs from Negroes everywhere. The Negro World has carried its messages of hope and encouragement to Negroes in the far corners of the earth and established a feeling of brotherhood among Negroes in various parts of the world. Negroes should get behind the Universal Negro Improvement Association and help to put the program over. There is nothing that we cannot accomplish if we will but pull together. Let us do everything in our power to secure the release of our leader so that he may direct us in putting over the only practical program of race reeducation and independence that the Negro has ever had. HARRY UDELL. Syracuse, N. Y. Choosing Toys at To the Editor of The Negro World: Now that Christmas time is coming every mother, is considering what she will buy, according to her means, for the amusement of her little ones. Toys have been found to be very useful and instructive in the life of children, and parents are using more care now than ever before in the selection of toys. Realizing this, Negro woman ought to be very careful in the selection of dolls. Every Negro woman should strive to put a brown doll in the hands of her little daughter. You will in this manner begin to teach this little girl race pride in her early years. When she grows older she will not forget that beautiful little brown doll of which she was to proud. When Son is born to a North African Moslem joy reigns, it is said Every one says to the father: "God has increased thy good." If it is a daughter the father cries: "A misfortune is born to me!" But, in spite of that, the birth is celebrated on the seventh day in the presence of the Gadi, the parents and their friends, and the baby is named Zobra, the flower; Sandy, the happy; Zina, the heartfelt; or Aziza, the beloved, says the Deloitte News. "Yet over it all hangs the prophet's dictum, 'Men are superior to women.' While his daughter, as a child her father troubles himself not a whit about her, and she is lucky if her mother, his instrument for pleasure and for work, finds any time to watch over her. 'As the girl grows, an she is trained, taught 'silence, discretion—and co-cheery. Poetic phrases about beauty are arising to her. Later on, in spite of the Koran, which describes tattooing as 'the devil's writing,' she is tattooed. When a girl is of marriageable age she is also ready for her prison. Her father begins to think about the dot which he will get back—and the gift he will receive from the husband — which practically amounts to a piece for selling his daughter. At 10, or 12, then the girl is handed over to her husband, whether she likes it or not. For a father can impose marriage on an unmarried girl. It is what is called the right of Djebir, which is recognized by law and custom. Goncourt Prize To Maurice Genevoix PARIS—Maurice Gonevox has been awarded the Goncourt prize for 1925 for his novel, "Rabbiolot." M. Gonevox served with distinction as an infantry officer and many of his books are about his war experiences. "Rabbiolot" is the story of a poacher and his struggles with the police, in which the writer symbolizes the conflict between the principles of authority and disorder. The Goncourt prize is the most sought among the awards of the French Academy, establishing the literary reputation and usually the financial fortune of the winner. The Trif Femina-Vie Heureuse, another coveted literary prize which is awarded on the same day as the Goncourt, was given to Joseph Delthell for his "Jeanne d'Arce," a work which has excited great controversy because of its during. M. Delthiel is of Spanish origin, but was born in France. He belongs to the group known as "super-realists." Double-Decked Street Popular in Chicago CHICAGO, Dec. 10. Chicago's first double-decked street is nearing completion as a $3,000,000 hardware plant, the last building in its path, gives way to a wrecker gang. When completed the street, located on the south bank of the Chicago River, will be known as Wacker Drive and will represent an expenditure of $20,000,000 for the one mile of its length. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1925 A Young Negro studying for his B. A. the other day remarked to me that the question, "Where should Negroes live?" would provide good material for team of debaters. Pressed for more information, he said he was thinking of the many cases at present in the courts rising out of the settlement of "white" neighborhoods, by Negroes. "I myself had given much thought to the matter, so it interested me to the point of polling the opinions of various of my acquaintances. Most of the persons I've talked with think that, for the good of all concerned, it would be best for colored house-settlers to keep out of sections where they are not wanted. Another phase of my questioning developed a paradox. Most of the whites opined that "people have got to live somewhere," while most of the blacks denounced those members of their group that "trigged to break into white neighborhoods." Why the Strife To say that the housing cells, like all the other evils from which we suffer, have 'their source in the white man's prejudice is a sweeping statement. But I'll back that statement as it stands. It is not because the Negro moves into a white section that we have all this strife. It is because the whites, out of their bitter hatred of colored peoples, are leaving him there. And while it is no doubt true that in the line of least resistance is to remain in the already overcrowded Negro sections, it is also equally true that those very sections now dubbed Negro were won over to their present inhabitants by just such pioneering spirits as those of whom we now complain. I have seen at least a score of "colored sections" in New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Missouri and Michigan, and they all became so by infiltration, because desirable sections built up for Negro residents are as scarce as hens' teeth. I could go back to the (supposed) origin of color prejudice in the United States and show how it were only natural for the sons of masters to feel as they do toward the sons of slaves. I could recount the bitterness engendered by civil strife and the natural reaction of conquered Southerners to Northern championship of Negro rights in the days of reconstruction. But we are no more responsible for those conditions than the present generation of Southerners are for the abuses that preceded them. And if conditions are to improve the causes of improving them lies on the white citizens of today.

The Taxi Driver That Moved In The Negro who is able to buy a home in an exclusive section in no less desirable a resident than his white neighbor in the same financial circumstances. I know a high-priced apartment house in the Washington Heights district tenanted mostly by business men of substance. Well, a white taxi driver whom you or I may at some time have given a tip for handling luggage, moved in, and no one offered the allsightest objection to having him there. Yet if one of our wealthy and cultured Negro business men had moved in there it would have caused a non-riot. I can help being a Negro, and what's more, I don't want to help being one. To some extent I can help being a BAD Negro, and I want to help that. But I don't see why I should be told that I am an inferior sort of person, neither as intelligent, respectable, nor healthy as my pale-faced brother, and in the same breath notified that more is expected of me in philosophic forbearance of injustice than is, either expected, or asked of "superior" creatures. If I am such a hostile beast that my more presence in a given vicinity is enough to set apparently same people by the ears, how does it happen that this same creature occasions no stir in mixed neighborhoods? You may claim that the white who voluntarily lives in a Negro community is not the same white man who object to Negroes in an exclusively white district. And I can prove you wrong. If you want to be canary beyond a doubt, finding the most strife-breeding element of the entire population—the white Southerner—you go seek in a Negro section. They abuse us, and look down on us in contempt. They are ever ready with contemptless bastiness of our abject degradation—but they stay with us when they could easily move into an exclusively white section. Almost it seems they love us in spite of what they say to the contrary. I don't know what are the ideas that prompt the first Negro to break into a white section, but whatever his motive he compels my respect. You will no doubt agree with me that it takes courage, as an altogether desirable thing to have occur. If it happens often enough it will open the eyes of thinking white men to the congestion of black bolts, and the unfairness of segregation, and the continuity of conflict on the issue will make for greater racial cohesiveness on our side. U. N. I. A. Can Come Out Strongly And here is a way for the proselytizing member of the U. N. I. A. to turn it to good account. Bring argument to show that although it is not impossible for things to greatly improve the Negro in the U. S. A., yet it is evident that a people who can throw a fit because a Negro comes to live next door will be a long while learning to appreciate said Negro as an equal; and a longer while learning to respect him as a potential Mayor, Governor, Senator or President, "I'd rather" you could say, "organize with a view to nationhood, because not only can I live where I please in a country that I rule, but ruling a strong country will enable me, to live anywhere I please in most any country." Which goes to prove that Garvey knows why he is washing pots in Atlanta, federal jail. Irrelevant? You'll find out that it isn't. If you read Garvey's speeches and the evidence adduced in any one of the various cases now before the courts growing out of purchases such as Sweet's of Detroit. Why man alive, the other day a man on West End Avenue posted a sign to the effect that he would rent rooms to colored folk and it created enough sensation to get headlines in the morning papers and to cause a judge (the lived next door) to make use of a highly insulting (to us) remark. And what did we subsequently hear? That the fellow who posted the sign did it to scare the apartment, house propeller next door into buying his place at a high figure. Do you think it good policy to devote all our energies to winning over to our side such people? There are laws against such things, but a law is emasulate without the backing of public opinion. And every precedent in history points to building your own house (metaphorically speaking) as a surer means of shelter than waiting for the other fellow to become kind overnight and open his door to you. Don't forget that Judge Levy, the judge referred to before, may try your case if you fight segregation even an under other circumstances. Justice Mills may have had to render decision in the notorious Rhinelander case. "Flat, justita ruit coelum" (Let justice be done, though the heavens fall) sounds fine to roll off the orator's tongue, "but," as the comic strips pub it, "it doesn't mean a thing." Prehistoric Man-Hunt Ready in Nile Valley CAIRO, Dec. 18.—The appropriation voted by the American General Education Board to support the investigations of the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago will be applied to researches of prehistoric man in the Nile Valley and western Asia, Professor Breasted, president of the university expedition, informed the Herald Tribune today. A careful survey of the valley, for prehistoric remains will be carried out by a staff to which a geologist and paleontologist will be added. These investigations will be in addition to a series of research projects on which the institute already is engaged. These include recovery of an Anasian dictionary and earliest documents in the Book of the Dead and composition of Anascianism, where General Allanley urged the Tupa out of Retention. Universal Negro Improvement Association $50,000 Every loyal Negro should donate to the Fund to help the Greatest Negro Organization in the World. The expense of running the Organization for the good of the race is tremendous. Expansion work must be done and current demands must be taken care of. The fight for Afrikan's redemption is a costly one, and must be borne by members of our race. We need money now more than ever to carry on the great organization Marone Gavry, founded for the redemption and abatement of the men. Everybody should help. If you can contribute $6,997 us we have it immediately. Those who can give us $10, $25 or $30 will be graciously thanked for their patience and loyalty. George Washington, the Father of His Country, died December 14, 1798, at the age of sixty-seven years. That he, as was the custom among the landed proprietors of Virginia and other Southern States, was a slave holder is well known. His views on slavery are not so generally understood, and, while it may not be a surprise to many that on his death he freed his own slaves, the provisions of his will in this respect are of much interest. That the clause, in our Constitution permitting slavery was a compromise is not open to dispute, and that portion which allows of the importation of slaves up to 1803 was without doubt the final adjustment upon which the compromise was effected. The Constitution Convention of 1787. It must be remembered, was, by mutual consent, sworn to secrecy regarding their deliberations in order that no pressure of public opinion might influence the decisions of the members of that body. How nearly perfectly that secret was kept is only too well known and the only fairly adequate report of the discussions which we have today is contained in the Madison papers, being the personal diary of James Madison kept by him during those trying days in Philadelphia, from May to September, 1787, while that convention was in session. Even these papers were not made public until after the death of Madison in 1836 when Congress bought them from his widow and authorized their publication, more than fifty years after the event had taken place. Even these papers do not completely report the bitterness and acrimony of the disputes which took place, nor do they give any indication of Washington's personal views on the slavery debate. Washington, in his capacity as presiding officer, carefully adhered to parliamentary usage in taking no active part in the discussions. It is more than likely, however, that his judgment and course were sought at informal consultations during the recesses of the convention. Whether or not the compromise resulting was at his suggestion or with his approval we can only surmise. "A reading of his will throws decided light on his personal attitude. After providing that his wife, Martha Washington, shall have the use and profit and benefit of his whole estate, rel and personal," during her life, there follows this clause: "ITEM—Upon the decease of wife it is my will and desire that all the shives which I hold in my own right shall receive their freedom. To emancipate them during her life would, though earnestly wished for by me, be attended with such insuperable difficulties, on account of their intermixture with LOS ANGELES, CAL.

SECCIÓN EN ESPAÑOL por La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra 54-56 Oeste, Calle 135, Ciudad de Nueva York, N. Y. PROP. M. A. PIJUEROA, Editor La ley de la mayoría prevalecera en toda época—Evitemos su presión constituyendo nuestro propio gobierno— La oposición hacia nuestra raza ha sido anticlpada— Eafuerzos por el resurgimiento de un pueblo débil— Poder independiente para nuestra propia protección Considero siempre beneficioso el tiempo que invierto informando a mi pueblo, acerca de los planes del programa de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, institución de la cual tengo el honor de ser el fundador, y por sentimiento común está destinada a mejorar en este mundo que habitamos, la actual situación estimosa de nuestra raza. El lema de dicho programa se basa en la emancipación absoluta de nuestro pueblo y la constitución de un país libre; un país muy ambicionado por los poderes predominantes. Con tal motivo ellos invierten millares de pesos escribiendo extensos artículos para teuer mejor entendimiento e interpretar el verdadere proposito de este movimiento. Pero en la persecución de estos conocimientos esparcen una propaganda corrupta, la cual tiende a dequalibrar la medida de aquellos que, con la buena intercisión, patrocinan tan sano objetivo. Los directores de este movimiento, dos pilotos de nuestra causa estan compenetrados de que todo aquello que nos afronta en materia de oposición, es lo que naturalmente acontece en la vida de cualuier organización, en el curso de cualuier causa progresista. Ningun general podria conducir su ejercito por el camino del éxito, sin antes asaltar las trincheras de oposición; por consiguiente, el maquiavelismo enemigo en nada nos sorprende. Los ue patrocinamos y formamos parte constituyente de esta organización, debemos llegar a la conclusión de que la lueha por la existencia y el enaltecimiento de una raza, es incuestionablemente uno de los esfuerzos mas supremos en el presente siglo. Tal estado de cosas es la causa de la lucha tenaz del irlandes por su propria conservación y la seguridad de su status; es la causa por la cual el judío al amparo del movimiento zionista, persigue a toda costa la restauración de lo que legitimamente le pertenecía—la denominada tierra santa—la Palestina. Debemos dealizar que la gran oposición que como pueblo afrontamos, no se ejercita solamente en una sección sino universalmente; la afrontamos en nuestro trabajo, la afrontanos en los medios de comunicación, la afrontamos a cada paso de nuestra existencia—oposición siniestra en contra de los pueblos y de las razas que no son lo suficientemente fuertes para resistir el ataque, no cediendo un solo paso ce su territorio. El esfuerzo de esta institución es simple y exclusivamente por el resurgimiento de la raza a la cual pertenecemos. Su lucha difiere de la otros movimientos de la raza porque perseguimos vida nacional, perseguimos la conservación nacional de nuestra existencia, en el convencimiento de que esta será la unica solución para el problema ante nuestra vista. Toda vez que la raza negra como cualquier otra raza, constituya la minoria en comunidad alguna, inabilitada para mantener su propio terreno, predominarán los actos de injusticia y de opresión. La perpetración de estos actos inhumanos incita esta organización esforzarse para resolver el árduo problema, no por medio de un reajuste doméstico entre razas; ello es imposible. Cuando el fuerte ambición aquello que el débil anhela, un arreglo es imposible entre los dos individuos. Siempre que tales diferencias existan en países habitados por blancos y negros, se ejercirá la descriminación, se llevarán a cabo linchamientos y no habra, por consiguiente, reajuste social, reajuste industrial o económico ni reajuste político. En el transcurso de cien doscientos, quinientes o mil años, no existirá diferencia alguna en nuestra condición como, raza, a menos que el negro no se de cuenta exacta de la verdad escueta y se arraigue a los principios de adelanto de esta organización. Queda pues a esta raza nuestra, que apura la copa del acibar universalmente, el unir sus esfuerzos en un solo haz y constituir su protección—un gobierno propio, y ningún sitio mas apropiado para ello que el continente de la luz, Africa, cuna de nuestros antepasados. Una y una vez he de repetir a mi pueblo que nuestro movimiento ha de continuar inalterablemente por valles collados y montañas, la proclamación de su doctrina sacrosanta, para dar a enteder al mundo que Etiopia debe y tiene que ser redimida. Es mi mas ferviente anhelo el que nuestro-elemento, por el benefico que haya de reportarle en el futuro, estude detenidamente y patrocine el gran propósito de este movimiento de adelanto, unico refugio de salvación para esta por tanto tiempo maltratada raza nuestra. Debilitemos nuestras energias, cometamos faltas y consignaremos nuestras generaciones venideras al mayor grado de miserias y de ufrimientos. Con la mayor vehemencia por el exito de esta causa, tengo el honor de ser. Vuestro obediente servidor.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1925 Secando las embajadas Los diplomáticos extranjeros que consideren acepitar sus cargos en los Estados Unidos, tendrán ue comprometerse a permanecer "secos", caso de que el congreso acepte de una manera favorable la ultima acta "seca" ue ha sido presentada. El representante Blanton del estado de Tejas, un "seco" entusiasmado,"ha presentado en la canara una resolución que daria a la ley de la prohibición una extension tal que incluiria en sus garras a los diplomáticos extranjeros en este país. Varios "secos" han probado muchas veces introducir esta medida en el congreso, pero la actitud que hasta la fecha ha tomado el departamento de estado les ha quitado los animos. "Los representantes de las naciones extranjeras deben obedecer las leyes de la nación en que se encuentran", dijo Blanton al defender su propósito de ley. "Cuando rehusen obedecer la ley de la prohibición de los Estados Unidos, el gobierno norteamericano debería decarlos "persona no grata" y concederles unos pasaportes para ue volviesen con toda seguridad a sus respectivos países." La resolución de Blantón ha llegado en el critico momento de las fiestas de las navidadés, pues en estos días es cuando la oportunidad del privilegio de beber que tienen los representantes extranjeros es más evidente. Cargamentos de licores para las fiestas están llegando eiit cantidades al por mayor, y son enviadas directamente las embajadas y legaciones u están esparcidas por la ciudad. Asesinado alevosamente Lus Phall el formidable pugilista conocido por Siki, nacido en Senegal, una de las seis colonias que forman el Africa Occidental Francesa, y cuya inesperada victoria sobre Jorge Carpentier en Paris en 1922, arrebatándole al exidolo de Europa el campeonato mundial de su categoría, lo colocó repentinamente en la cumbre de la fauna pugilística, ha sido asesinado a traición. Su cadáver, fue hallado por el agente de policía Meehan, en la calle 41, pocas horas después de que el senegalés se habia despedido del mismo agente tras una corrassa conversación que sostuvieron al salir Siki de un salón le baile de aquella sección dominada por varias bandas de malhechores. Meehan pasaba por la calle cuando notó la figura de un hombre tendedo en el suelo. Dirigióse al bulto y, al dare vuelta para observarle el rostro, reconoció al desgracado Siki, notando que este habia arrojado considerable sangre por la boca y oídos. Un sendgro de sangre que partia el cadáver conducja hasta el garage situa en la misma calle, indicando o que Siki fue herido frente al mencionado establecimiento y logro, arrojando sangre por donde pasaba, caminar hasta donde fue hallado muerto, o que su o sus asesinó lo arrastarron hasta el centro de la calle después de haberlo herido mortalmente e imposibilitado para defenderse, aunque la segunda teoria es poco aceptable en vista de que no se hallaron huellas que indicasen que el cuerpo habia sldo arrastrado. Un examen detenido del cadáver reveló que dos balas le habian sido disparadas a corta distancia por la espalda, penerándole una los pulmones y otra los vitones y produciéndole una fuerte hemorragia interna que la ocasionó una pronta muerte. Siki ha sido asesinado precisamente a corta distancia de donde una madrugada del mes de julio pasado, fue hallado privado del conocimiento a causa de una herida en la cara producida con arma cortante por la que perdió mucha sangre. La noticia de la muerte de Siki ha llegado a todas partes del mundo ya. En Francia has causado profundo sentimiento. El gobernador de las Filipinas, general Leonard Wood, ha vetado la ley en que se establece el plebiscito filipino en pro de la independencia.

Magazine Section A TROPICAL SCRUTINY None the less, the alightest contact with the African Negro, from Cape Verde to the Congo, whether ahorre or afloat, can be made full of romantic joy—to the man who is not particularly aquamiah, or deliberately self-conscious. The prig and the dude—save maybe, in a widely cultivated area, and in some government department that serves as buffet between him and the sterner contours of life—could not survive a single twelve-month of native criticism. Wallace's "Hones" is as harsh a caricature of the overseas official as one of Dickens's Barnacles in his most flamboyant mood of filth. He is impossible, however Alluring he may be. The African has his finest weapon in a tongue that penetrates like a scalpel. In contact with him a man has to be wholly a man—or quit. He cannot fail to find, sooner or later, that the keynote of approach to the native is one of essential Humanity. To treat the black man as a beast is to make him a beast. He lives up to the resident white's innest conception of his nature. Some time ago the "Nation" commissioned me to write an article describing only one day of my life out here. My task was duly accomplished. I waited for praise. But the American editor took me to task for making my material so "tanned." Where was the pop, the film, the grim—The anticipated "slice of life?" There was not, he declared, enough red blood in the narrative to convince the sophistical readers on Broadway of the accuracy of my material. I retorted rather crudely. Had he desired me to describe an average twenty-four hours, or an exceptional one? There was par example that would night when I awoke on my camped with a most hideous cell in my ear—a wild, horrible cry like that of a soul in torment. It had pierced my very soul. Sitting there in the darkness, attired only in a loose kimono, I sought to answer the question—whether I had awakened from nightmare, or whether I had really heard a shriek of agony? Even now it seemed to ring on the air in a wall of despairing horror. I shouted lustily for my personal servant and thrust into my breast the loaded revolver which always reposes beneath my pillow. Then I started off through the brushwood toward my trading station half a mile away. Posa, fearless stripping of eighteen, caught me up yelp. Soon. He bore a, lantern in his hand. The lad was naked to the waist, and he had hurriedly wound his lop about him while he ran. His eyes were heavy with sleep, but he had possessed enough for thought to snatch up a cutlure as he passed through the bungee. This African youth and I exchanged rapid notes. "We decided that the watchman at the lonely outpost for trade in oil had been attacked by robbers. They were out to loot the hundred pounds in cash kept always there for early dawning's trade, and the goods that are used as symbols of bargain. Bosn said "briefly. "This is not the first time the watchman has been disturbed. These thieves have made several attempts before. The intention now will have been to kill him quickly, and then wait to see if there is any alarm. They could then get the place at their leisure. You and I may be the only ones who have heard a sound, as there are no houses or stores anywhere about here." Inside four minutes of my hearing that soul-scarring cry, we had reached the station. The watchman's Lump hung upon the white-washed wall, shining brightly. On the open verandah was the remains of a fire of cedar but the man himself was nowhere to be seen. Yet at our feet lay a wide sorghum pool that blackened as it cumulated, spreading human blood. Beset a stumped, and held something toward me. On his open palm lay a human car, lopped off at the roots. And against the wall gleamed the bones of a knuckle and wrist, where a hand had been severed from the black arm upraised in helpless self-defense. The corpse we found just around the corner of the store, the assistants had dragged it from view. The watchman's pitiflour-body had been practically decapitated, and there were several ghastly wounds in the abdomen and sides. While that Nega had and I were investigating the crime, with no police within two miles of our call, it is quite probable that a dozen avid eyes were watching us from the bush. We were not safe from attack ourselves. I fired my revolver into the air to demonstrate that I was armed. Was that the sort of day which I ought to have described for American readers as typical of life out here? Or the night when I struggled in the darkness with a naked form which was so similarly elusive with grease that I could not hold it? A form, moreover, which brought a sharp knife over my fingers and left a scar that I carry to this day. That invisible mauler escaped with immense ease; for the same knife that had been slashed across my hand might just as noiselessly have penetrated my liver.

Out of the East has come a great, a marvelous light. It is full of life and love. Life that is abundant. Love that is everlasting. Yet it is ever thus, when we expect great rays of light, that our eyes are turned toward the East. It is here the first rays of light come creeping slowly over the hullflooding the day with a wondrous glory and pride. It was not strange, therefore, for the wise men to behold a wondrous light, which was full of significance, for a world, hovering in the East. It was but natural that their pout-up longings should find consolation in this light, and they should begin their journey in search of their deeper meaning. 1. To every individual a star rises on his horizon. It has always been thus, that men follow their stars. Some blindly, some irregularly, some indifferently, and others unknowingly. It is a pleasant task, when knowingly we follow the star of our night, to thus, where our Saviours are eradicated. It is wonderful and glorious when we follow the light of our stars till it rests over mankind, which holds the Christ of our lives. It is gratifying to know that the destiny of our star may be changed and its rays of light lessened by our following. Have you found your star? Has it arisen on your horizon? If it has not then this season is a most appropriate time to seek its light. When you have found it begin your journey toward your inn, where you will find your Christ-child. It may be a new-born thought of righteousness. It may be a truth which cannot fall in moments of despair. It may be a consciousness of an abiding presence that assures, and reassures your complete salvation. Whatever it is like in word, thought or one thing is certain, it is yours for the asking. It is yours because you will it to be thus. To the task, the cure, and behold your star. II. World stars appear when men have greatest need for their light and guidance. Christ, came when the world needed him most. Paul lived and taught when the world needed a moral genius. St. Augustin, came when the church needed a strong leader. Luther came when wromns needed to be lighted and some one dared to speak in defense of these rights. And, like these leaders in sacred history, put the history back its skars. Pharaohs, Pericles, Caesar Hannah, Napoleon, Frederick the Great, Alfred the Great, Bismarck, Washington, Lincoln, all rose on the horizon & statehood when needed. And like these every suffering group has had its star at the right time. Jo Valera for the Irish, Gandhi for the East Indians and Garvey for the black men of the world. Let us give the best in us for our star and follow in its wake, its destiny leads to our "Inn of Redemption." It is a land of promise. Yeah, a land of virgin soil, whose holdings are rich and rare. Follow until you are convinced that the Christ-child born in your consciousness, and he is guiding you in your search for freedom, love and peace. Follow until you know the Christ-claim is your heritage, and that the possession of a king's son is yours. Follow until the world will know and understand you in your single aim and destiny as a new-born child of light, whose star is a star of faith, which shall rest only in God and Africa. III. Every star leads to a certain end. What is your destiny? Have you found it? We are travelers. In what direction are you journeying? My star leads to the storehouse or all knowledge, the abiding place, of the Christ, and the home of a contented lot of people whose glory rests not in seismic, but in being. Many of us in the Universal Negro Improvement Association know the Christ in all his blessness as he appears in life and light of being. We are training him fully, knowing that our condidence shall not be misplaced nor our hopes unfounded. We shall triumph are long and the world will see our "Dipping Star" and Genius, now suffering for the cause of Negro freedom, among us again in a spiritual manner. He must No Negro World QUARTY-YOUNG. freedy sedge, on the sky; horns the hedge, made ago tempest wild and shrill, on poppies glow and still. incible power annon's belching flame; patient hour shame. and love, to Paradise, above eyes! day no sleep lose our ears. all who weep sinking tears, winter's child, the new-born day. mer, meek and mild, sweet way! is with us and his body will be returned to us to help carry on this noble cause. Our star leads to Africa and its teeming millions, who look toward the light of our lives to help in their disclosing the Christ of their being. They have found God in large number. Let us help them disclose Christ. For in Him they find their real strength and manhood. When we find the Inn, which lies at the end of our journey, it will reveal a nation whose God is the Lord and whose Christ is the stoneest builders rejected, but now become the chief cornerstone. Washington, Dec. 14.—Rich profits were nearly last year by the Osage Indians, the wealthiest tribe in the world, in royalties and bonuses on oil and gas produced on their reservation in Oklahoma. The Interior Department announced today that the total payment aggregates $29,422,600 or a share of $13,290 for each Indian. An Interior Department report on oil operations of the Osage Reservation showed production of 33,662,179 barrels in the fiscal year. Royalties on both gas and oil amounted to $21,144,142.63 and the Indians realized approximately $28,398 from bonuses paid by oil operators at public auction sales of the leases. Total oil production of the Osage Reservation since February, 1915, has amounted to $29,740,799 barrels. The Indians have received from leases and bonuses a total of $55,622,126.26 since that time. The Oregon Reservation comprises approximately 1,500,000 acres. The approved tribal oil contains the names of 727 persons who share custody in the proceeds arising from oil and gas. Bishop I. E.
