Some Bon Mots from the Pen of Marcus Garvey
NEGRO LEADERSHIP AND WHAT IT MEANS
I would not exchange two five-cent cigars—even though not a smoker—for all the colored or Negro political leaders, or rather misleaders, of our time. The fraternity is heartless, crafty and corrupt. They exist for themselves only, and give no honest thought to the future, or the condition of the people, except to exploit said condition to their greatest benefit.
Among the whites, we have a few political charities and crowds, but they cannot well afford, under the circumstances, to tolerate them, because they are burrowed and circumvented by statesmen and race patriots who are ever vigilant and on guard in protecting the rights of their people. Among us Negroes, there is no relief from such a claustroce they monopolize our politics and obstruct our outlook. The only tempering hope of religion, and that is like dry bones—we have to wait a long while for them to come together in the Valley.
To use our present political leaders there must be a conversion and refermation in head and heart. I believe it to be impossible, with the inviting system of graft; therefore, I suggest that leadership be assumed by our uncorrupted youth, with a program clear, positive and determined, counting well the cost of opposition and persecution, which generally leads to the Bastille and the guillotine.—Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey, Vol. II.
THE SINS OF THE FATHERS
There is no sense in hate; it comes back to you; therefore, make your history so laudable, magnificent and untarnished that another generation will not seek to repay your seed for the sins inflicted upon their fathers. The bones of injustice have a peculiar way of rising from the tombs to plague and mock the iniquitous.—Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey, Vol. II.
BROTHERLY LOVE. CHARITY AND GOD
The unreasonable of the white race prate about the inferiority of the Negro. They tell us historically, biologically, ethnologically, economically, politically and generally that the black man is inferior, incompetent and by himself unable to contribute much to human progress; yet, when a black man shows himself determined to prove the race's ability, they grab hold of him, harass him, make a monkey out of him, and, if he persists, they either club him to death by trickery, sinister designs, or incriminate him and send him to prison.
If he rises up in the West Indies, they so environ him that he is bound to die of starvation; if he rises up in America, they employ others of his race to discredit him, and, if that is difficult, frame him and send him to prison for imaginary crime. If he rises up in Africa, he is undermined and murdered or exiled from his native hearth. And still the white man boasts of his superiority through brute force of shot, gas and shell.
Give the Negro fifty years of unhampered or unmolested freedom of action, and in less than that time he will prove to the world that he is the greatest genius Nature ever fashioned and the most liberal and charitable of God's creatures. Give the Negro a chance and he will teach the white man the way to Justice, Charity, Brotherly Love and God.—Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey, Vol. II.

NEW YORK CITY, Sunday Night. July 18.—Rain fell in torrents an hour before meeting time, but this did not dampen the ardor of the faithful who assembled at the Commonwealth tonight on the occasion of the weekly meeting of the New York Local.
In the absence of Hon. Fred A. Stone, acting President-General, Hon. Lori Lord, Chancellor, occupied the chair, while among those on the platform were Hon. Dr. J. G.

After a splendid musical program and the usual exercises, speeches were delivered, Dr. Drake making the principal address. His speech dealt likely with the recent acquiring by the Universal Negro Improvement

MISS COLLINS' ADDRESS
Miss Ethel Collins spoke as follows: "Freedom is one of the heritages of mankind. It belongs to him by force of his humanity, and any group or race or nation deprived of this becomes dissatisfied with its condition and should make every effort to remove the evil. The Negro at this time finds himself in this position.
"How can one be loyal, true and patriotic when he does not enjoy the rights and privileges that he should enjoy? Give me freedom and you shall not have to ask for liberty and patriotism. Give me liberty and you shall have in return all the attributes that make up a happy, peaceful and resourceful country. It is, therefore, our questionable duty as individuals to work assiduously and undistinguingly to acquire these God-given rights and not to cease agitating till we have won them for ourselves and posterity.
Awakened His Brother
The Hon. Marcus Garvey, like a great statesman who thinks of the next generation, has come upon the scene, and, like a percent of the future, who makes provision for the unborn, has awakened his sleeping brothers to the true knowledge of their pitiful state. He has been endowed with a mind, bold, independent and decisive, an iron will, a dynamic energy. He has given to us the beacon light of race consciousness, the greatest spark that could have been ignited in the breast of any people. Hence, today the world of Negroes are crying out for liberty.
Pitt's Words Recalled
"During the American War of Independence, from 1775 to 1776, there arose a heated discussion in the House of Lords, and William Pitt, then Earl of Chatham, uttered these words: 'If I were an American as I am an Englishman, I would never lay down my arms, never, never, never' thus showing to the world that he was broadminded and felt that mankind was entitled to freedom.
"I shall quote another statement of William Pitt, trusting that the people of his race have not forgotten them, and that they will be willing to carry them out. These were his words: 'We were once an obscure, as debased, as ignorant, as barbaric as the African. I trust that the time will come when we will be willing to give to Africa the opportunity, the hope, the right to attain to the same blessings that we ourselves enjoy.'
"In conclusion, therefore, to be patriotic and loyal, a people must be free in the truest sense of the word in any government of which they form a part. But as a race we can never be truly free until we build for ourselves a government of our own which will demand the respect of all other governments.
"Only citizens can be patriotic, and none are citizens who cannot fill positions of responsibility in the government. Only subjects are expected to be loyal. As a subject race, we cannot be loyal in the truest sense of the word, because we have not the freedom and the opportunity of voicing our sentiments in the halls of legislature, in the seats of the nations, or in any other place of freedom. Freedom, in the fullest sense of the word—this and this alone should be our only objective and our watchword.
A mob of fifty white residents of Lindam, Ala., which was featuring Tom Kimbrough, a Negro, was put to rout by three armed Negroes. The leader of the mob was killed. The Negroes, two of whom were Kimbrough's brothers, escaped in autos while a peace of 200 combed the woods for them. Kimbrough was accused of stealing some gasoline.
NEGRO CONVICTS DONE TO DEATH IN N. CAROLINA
Murder Trial of Chain Bang Boss Brings Flood of Stories About Flendish Brutalities—Pint of Epsom Salts for Sick Prisoner
ALBEMARLE, N. C., July 15.—Stories of a Negro convict hooked to a tractor by a chain attached to his shackles and dragged over rough, uneven ground; of convicts hung up for hours by their wrists to the ceiling; of prisoners forced under threats of the whip to take pint quantities of Epom salts and of benthings of prisoners were unfolded in almost continuous narrative by witnesses for the State today during the second day of the trial of Kevin C. Cranford, former chain gang superintendent, charged with the murder of two Negro convicts.
And greens was used as ointment for wounds, according to testimony heard today.
The greater part of today's testimony was offered to show how Cranford treated convicts generally under his charge while he was prison camp superintendent. Very little of it related directly to the deaths of James Terry and James Mowell. Negroes charged against him in the indictments.
The defense served notice of exceptions to all testimony except that directly relating to the death of the two convicts.
Clay Smith. Montgomery County farmer, who several years ago served a term on the Stanley County chain gang, testified that on one occasion, when he was suffering from blood poison and requested a physician, Cranford threatened him with a whipping instead and placed him in double shackles.
Complained of Being Ill
Two witnesses, white farmers from Montgomery County, former prisoners under the defendant, testified that the two Negroes complained of being sick and that Cranford gave them large doses of calomel and salts and then kept them at work. It was in summer and the sunshine was hot. The Negroes asked Cranford to let them get into the shade, one witness testified, and Cranford jumped down from a bank and shouted, "I'll give you shade," and proceeded to beat them with a big stick or club until they were almost unconscious.
One of them, he said, in his agony grabbed a stick nearby, placed it in his mouth and tried to bite it, whereupon Cranford is alleged to have shouted "I'll give you something to bite" and rammed a stick in his mouth. After the beating the Negroes never spoke again, but died that night, the witness testified, saying he remained by them until the end.
Jury From Another County
The jury is composed of twelve men from Anson, the State having asked for a change of venue or a jury from another county.
Sentiment in this county is sharply divided as to Crandford's guilt and it is asserted that local politics had a part in the case. The charges first were laid after an investigation by agents of the State Social Welfare Department. Finally, some time afterward, a Grand Jury indicted Crandford. Twice the trial has been postponed.
Three witnesses took the stand today to tell of events of the chain gang, one corroborating the other in tales of horrible cruelties. Clay Smith, who testified yesterday, completed his direct examination in the morning, and told of the death of Terry and Novel.
Race Discrimination
Mrs. Blanche Cothran, a Negro, was arrested in Memphis, Tennessee, for seating her child between two white children in a seat car. She was charged with violating the "Jim Crow" law. Judge L. Q. Carr of Detroit, Mich., granted an injunction to William Starkes and his wife, Negro, to own a home in the Lahawed Boulevard subdivision, but prohibited them from living in it. Restrictions of the subdivision against sale of property to petition "whose ownership would be injurious to the locality" was used by the judge as ground for barring the Starkes from living in their home.—Prince Service, Civil Liberties Union.
From the Gold Coast Leader
A new leader of great power has arisen in South African affairs in the person of Mr. Clements Kadalle, the indefatigable National Secretary of the Industrial and Commercial Workers' Union of South Africa, known as the I. C. U. Mr. Clements Kadalle is an African who, inspired by patriotism, has taken up the cause of his people in promoting their economic freedom. Our brethren in South Africa have been the victims of exploitation in the past by European planters and settlers, with the disabilities incidental to such exploitation. The African has been forced to work for the European employer in some cases against his will at nominal wage, and with the sanction of the central authority, through regulations which prove a great hardship upon the people. There are "pass" laws and segregation regulations which prove a great hindrance in the enjoyment of free citizenship by our brethren down there.
These circumstances have made it necessary for the leading African minds of South Africa to combine to effect their political as well as economical freedom, and among the foremost leaders is Clements Kadalle. So effectively has he carried on propaganda work that it is now sought by the central authorities to ban his movements in certain of the Provinces of South Africa. But Mr. Clements Kadalle is a match for those who are opposed to the cause of freedom, and he is about to test in the law courts the legality of the restriction sought to be imposed. Accordingly, a defence fund has been inaugurated, and it is the spirited way in which the appeal is made that interests us greatly.
Under the heading of "Now or Never" it says: "With the growing strength of the I. C. U. which is being felt all over the country, an attack has been made to test the real strength of this new trade unionism. The central authorities have placed a ban on the movements of the National Secretary, Comrade Clemente Kadali, but he is allowed to proceed to Cape Town from Johannesburg, the obvious intention being to keep him isolated there, and refuse him passage to any of the other three Provinces of the Union to do propaganda work on behalf of the organization. This information was officially received from the Native Affairs Department at Johannesburg. He is definitely prohibited to enter Natal Province. The recent Annual Conference of the Organisation held in Johannesburg has decided to test the legality of the Government's action. Funds are now required, and by Conference resolution, published elsewhere in this issue, all I. C. U. Branches are instructed to raise funds by special contributions, socials and concerts, etc., to provide the "National Secretary's Defence Funds."
The practice of trying to gag Africa propaganda work in the interests of African Nationality, practiced among certain sections of European Central Authorities, requires to be exposed so as to ensure that freedom of speech which is the birthright of every free people. We have in America the evident desire to keep silent the man Marcus Gervay, and now we have a second attempt in South Africa to gag Clements Kadalle. We wonder what will be the upshot of all this in the national struggle for the emancipation of the race? Anyway, our friends in South Africa are really in earnest, as judged by the nature of this appeal. It shows one thing, that if the black man desires to gain the ordinary liberties of ordinary men, he must be prepared to make sacrifices in the same way that other peoples have done in the course of their history.
NEWARK CATHOLIC DIOCESE BUYS ESTATE FOR SCHOOL
1,200-Acre Darlington Site in Bergen County To Be Used for Seminary
NEWARK, July 16.—The Roman Catholic diocese of Newark has acquired the title to the Darlington estate at Mahwah, Bergen County, it became known today. The Seminary of the Immaculate Conception is to be established on the estate. At present the seminary is connected with Beton Hall College, South Orange. The purchase price was not revealed, but it is known that George Corker, original owner of the estate, spent $2,000,000 several years ago in improving the grounds.
The Darlington mansion, a large building, which will be used as a study hall, is surrounded by 1,200 acres of ground, consisting of broad lawns, woodland and shrubbery. There are other smaller buildings on the estate, which is considered to be one of the finest in New Jersey.
The seminary, in which graduates of Goton Hall College are trained for the priesthood, has always been conducted in connection with the college heretofore.
The sale was made through M. Crowley & Brothers, of Montclair, John A. Matthews represented the Newark district, and John L. Driggs was the attorney for the owner, Busten McMillan.
About a year ago a group of promoters planned to convert the estate into a country club, but the deal was not completed.
The following is the first of a series of articles from the pen of Mr. B. A. Haynes, president of the Pittsburgh Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, on the decision of the Belize Court in the Morter will case. The articles appeared in the Belize Independent:
The bequest of the residue of his estate to the "U. N. I. A. by the late Isaiah E. Morter was refused the organization by the decision of the Chief Justice, the Hon. H. K. M. Blanett, who ruled that "I find the Residuary device and bequest in the Will to the Parent Body of the U. N. I. A. is for an illegal purpose and contrary to public Policy." An appeal has been taken and the case will go to the Privacy Council.
Pending the outcome of such an appeal the writer reserves comment on the subject proper. But he feels in duty bound to take up certain references and inferences in the arguments of the very learned Chief Justice leading up to his patriotic decision. And in this respect, I do not, not as a representative of the U. N. I. A., but as a Negro whose rights to Africa and things African are beyond the jurisdiction of the nations in Africa.

Now it is so soft and straight I can dress it in any style I wish and it stays that way, looking smooth and glossy. My hair has grown longer, too, since I started using Pluko."

Los Angeles, Cal., July 6. Considering that a large amount of colored capital is invested in the chain of Hellman day and night banks here, a committee composed of leading colored business men obtained an audience with Mr. Hellman, asking that he appoint some colored janitors in some of the many banks. His answer, while severe, was in effect a lesson in self-pride which the race really needs more of, as well as economic preparation. In effect his answer was as follows:
"Well, gentlemen, I absolutely refuse, and do not relish any suggestions as to the personnel of our bank staff. If my refusal offends you, you are at liberty to withdraw all your money from our banks and start one of your own at 12th and Central. And my reasons are these: You, representing your race, come asking for the smallest, most menial jobs in my power to give, whereas if you had come asking us to place some cashiers or tellers of your race in our institution, I would have considered it, and as fast as capable men were found would have placed them."

Citing the membership vow, Rules and Regulations for the Universal African Legions, the National Anthems, and extracts from articles purporting to emanate from the President General and Administrator, the Chief Justice infers that the object of the Association is for the redemption of Africa by force.
Anyone examining the U. N. I. A. as a human agency having as its object complete independence for that section-of the human family known generally as The Blacks, will find that the vow taken by the U. N. I. A. members and the Universal, African Legion is, in spirit and ultimatum, harmonious with that of all patriotic organizations throughout the civilized world. Can it be that the Chief Justice met an unpleasant surprise in the knowledge that black men, like white men, have perfected an association with ideals worthy of the lives of black men? Did the National Anthem of the U. N. I. A. give the learned gentleman a haunted vision? He referred specially to these lines: "As storm cloud at night sudden gath-

HISTORIC SITE HAS ONE MILE OF NAVIGABLE RIVER FRONTAGE WITH WHARF WHERE SLAVES LANDED
NINE BUILDINGS ON SIXTY-SIX ACRES OF LAND
Garvey's Dream of Belting the World with Universities for the Training of Negro Youth Begins to Materialize
Hon. Marcus Garvey's dream of a university in connection with the Universal Negro Improvement Association came one step near realization when a large historic school property, formerly the Smallwood-Corey Industrial Institute at Claremont, Virginia, passed into the hands of the organization. The property consists of 66 acres of valuable Surry County land on the historic James River, with nearly one mile of navigable river frontage containing the wharf at which the second cargo of Negro slaves landed in 1622. There are nine buildings, the main building being worth over $100,000.00
This property came into the possession of the Universal Negro Improvement Association by deed on June 14 as a result of negotiations which have been in progress for several months between the Executive Council and the old Board of Trustees of the institution. The old management, unable to conduct the work of the institution for lack of a strong organization behind it, decided by resolution to deed the property to the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the consideration of the Association taking care of and paying off the present indebtedness, which amounts to about $56,000.00. It
is safe to say the property will greatly increase in value as the Virginia State Legislature continues to push the idea of deepening by dredging the river between Hampton and Richmond. In the effort to assist in civilizing the backward tribes of Africa and the development of independent Negro nations and communities, the Universal Negro Improvement Association plans the establishment of universities, Colleges, academies and schools. The first of this chain is now made possible by the acquisition of the present property, both real and chattel, of the Virginia Institution, a historic site.
The history of this school is in direct accord with the idea of the Association, in that the site marks the landing place of second cargo of Negro slaves, who landed in America in 1622, brought against their will from the shores of the Fatherland, Africa. Since Negroes landed here from Africa as slaves against their will it is peculiarly appropriate that they embark at this very wharf, as freed men, in keeping with their own will and

unity of purpose are concerned. If there is one thing we need as a group it is to know how to work together in absolute unity. I think that is our one weakness all over this country, and I congratulate your organization and your leaders because you have demonstrated that our people can not together and labor together for one common cause, one common purpose. You have demonstrated the great fact that Negroes will follow Negro leadership."

desire, to return to Africa, there to build an independent Negro nation. Since Negroes landed here in illiteracy and slavery, it is strikingly fitting that on this very spot they maintain a great University to reduce race illiteracy and to teach the true principles of freedom.

Company, the speaker continued: "Are you aware of the fact that colored people spend over $28,000,000 annually for toilet articles, not including soap? If we included soap it would go into billions. Notwithstanding this fact I am reasonably sure they do not spend over one million with race concerns. Now think of the vast sums of money that they spend with the other fellow, the fellow who employs only white boys and girls as clerks, who employs only white managers and officials, without thinking of its power and force and usefulness if they kept only a part of it within race channels.
Attorney Ransom then mentioned the Madame Walker Trip-around-the-world contest, which, he said, closed on the 18th of September. Hon. P. L. Burrows, Amt. Secretary-General of the U. N. L.

It contains a girls' dormitory and also a large auditorium, dining hall, offices of administration, etc. The estimated cost of this building is over $100,000. Most of the money spent in the erection of this building was obtained through the personal assistance of the late Sir John Hay, who held the office of Secretary of State of the United States in the McKinley Cabinet.

greetings from divisions in the West. Middle West and South, where she had found the people working, one hundred percent for the cause. She had also visited Atlanta and had the pleasure of an interview with the Hon. Marcus Garvey, whom she found in good health, head unbowed, content so long as the cause for which he is suffering prospered. He asked that she bring his personal greetings and good wishes to the devoted members of the New York Local.
Flocking to the Standard
Commenting on the general attitude of the people of this country toward the movement, Madame DoMena said she was agreeably impressed by the number of "big Negroes" who are now flocking to the banner of the Red, Black and Green. More than that, she had had the opportunity of conversing with many white leaders of thought, and one and all expressed the opinion that Marcus Garvey's was the only real solution of the Negro problem. And so those Negroes ought to be really ashamed of themselves who, knowing deep down in their hearts that the U. N. L. A. program was the only one for the Negro, yet held aloft and knocked, merely because it did not fall to them to originate the Idea and organize the movement.
Marcus Garvey had been uniquely impressed, but his insurrection in Atlanta had made that protest the most famous in the world, because it housed the greatest Negro the world had ever seen.
Dr. J. G. St. C. Drake Gives Details of Property Purchase
Dr. J. G. St. Clair Drake, international organiser, spoke next. He said: "My friends, I am not intending to make a speech tonight. I have been making speeches heretofore, but I have a message for you tonight that cannot be delivered in terms of oratorical flights. I want to take time and explain something that has just occurred to the great advantage of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
"I think it was two weeks ago I hinted to you that the Executive Council, with the instructions of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, was negotiating a proposition and we intended not to publish it until we were sure that we had our hands on it, and I promised you at a later date to bring to you the news that we had closed negotiations.
Saving a Race Institution
"Some time ago our attention was called to the fact that in Virginia there was an institution of learning operated by colored people for thirty years, and that institution, the property, chattel and real, would soon fail into the hands of white people if Negroes did not take some steps to hold it. I happened to have been at the time, and am now, the vice-president of that institution, and the gentleman who is president today is a member of the Philadelphia division. Prof. Caleb. B. Robinson. That property is valued by the white people at $250,000. It has on it mortgages and judgments amounting to $52,000, giving us a clear equity in the neighborhood of $200,000.
"Professor Robinson and I were anxious that the Universal Negro Improvement Association should get that property, because it is in keeping with the aims and objects of the Association (as you will see from the third section of the Constitution) that we have universities, colleges, academies

Overcoming Opposition
"With this in view we turned the current of sentiment and influence toward this organization. We worked silently because we knew very well we had opposition. The Home Mission Society of White Baptists of this country, with headquarters in New York City, and 20 million dollars behind them, were anxious to get the property and they went to Virginia in a frantic effort to close the deal. But they were beaten, for we got the trustee board to adopt resolutions giving to the Universal Negro Improvement Association the property known as the Smallwood-Corey Industrial Institute, located at Clarence, Virginia, and on that night the board voted unanimously to make the Universal Negro Improvement Association a present of it. I say, make you a present of it, because anybody in making you a present when he turns over to you a quarter-million dollar property, with the contract legal and binding in every way, and it only remains for you to satisfy the mortgage debt.

Prof. John D. Smallwood, who founded the school, was born on the grounds a slave, and when three days old was ruthlessly torn from the care of his parents and sold. He was reared by strangers. Growing to manhood, he was inspired to do something for his race. He was educated in Hampton Institute and took a course at Wilbraham, Mass. Returning to Claremont, with the help of Northern friends, he bought this land and founded the institution on the very spot where he was born a slave.
During the days of Prof. Smallwood the work prospected and was known throughout the United States and in many parts of Europe, but at his death the work fell into other hands, and now, after years of unsuccessful management by various groups, finally comes into the possession of a group whose aim is to accomplish the real emancipation of the

$137.50. There are 66 acres of land, valuable land, and nine buildings, six of which could not be replaced for $100,000, and there is one mile of navigable water front on the St. James river. Now that property will increase in value about half a million dollars in the next twelve years because they are going to dredge the river. We are only 40 miles from Hampton Roads and our water is almost as deep, and yet they are going to dredge it, even though gunboats pass by our wharves every day. This, as I said before, will greatly enhance the value of the property.

We have the water front one mile long, and we can afford to do it. But I want to call your attention also to a historical fact in connection with the property. In the year 1622 the second batch of Negro slaves to America landed right on our wharf. The second batch of slaves were put into a slave pau where our boys' dormitory now stands. Right there was the landmasters for that section of Virginia for the disposal of the slaves. From Africa to Quebec you the trip of the second batch of slaves, and I think it is a beautiful coincidence that on the spot where we landed on slaves, from that spot under the direction of Marcus Garvey and with the help of the teachers of the
Negro race. It is a strange twist of fate that this property should at this time pass into the hands of an institution which will perpetuate the memory of John J. Smallwood by conducting a university in which young Negro men and women will be trained for service to the race, in their day and generation, and where the highest ideals of racial development will be inculcated and nurtured.
CHANGE IN MANAGEMENT The Institution will be run under new management, but the general policy of catering to the residents of Surry County in particular and Virginia in general will not be changed. Although students from all parts of the world are expected to enroll in a short time, yet local students will not be crowded out, since ample provision will be made to accommodate all who seek admission into the school.
The Executive Council will proceed at once to organize a new Board of Trustees under an entirely new name and charter, designed to meet the demands of the Educational Commission of the State of Virginia and in keeping with the best modern standards for conducting such Institution.
Universal Negro Improvement Association we shall some day set sail for Africa's shores, not to be whipped like curs, but setting sail for Africa, free men, there to rear a mighty government of our own. (Applause.) I am now telling you, members of this organization, to go out and say to whom you will that that property belongs to the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and we shall use it as Marcus Garvey intended when he formed the Association. There we shall train our boys and girls, our men and women. Let us all join hands and hearts and contribute so that we can in a short while free the property from debt by paying the $2,600 liabilities which it now carries."
Hon. I. Levi Lord, Chancellor, then made an appeal for funds, after which the meeting was brought to a close.

own affairs." But men often preach what they do not practice; so do nations. And, yet, the wise world has acclaimed President Wilson as a conscientious and honest man. Perhaps, it all depends upon the viewpoint. The usurpation of the sovereignty of Haiti was an act of violence and injustice which has not as yet been justified by the facts in the case, and hardly will be.
There was a court-martial and Col. James Thornton Watson was tried but acquitted in the effort to fix responsibility for failure to salute President Borno when he arrived in New York harbor. It was decided that the outcome was the result of misunderstanding. So there you are. But when President Borno left New York harbor, June 30, on returning to his country, he got the usual salute. There was no misunderstanding at that time.

It must be a very interesting job to be President of Haiti under normal conditions, as its turbulent history will show, but to be President with what is said to be a majority of the people regarding you as an outsider, a Martiniquer, and usurper, must be just too pleasant for anything. President Borno appears to regard the matter that way. It is up to him and the people of Haiti.
MOROCCO TREATY SIGNED IN PARIS
ON Bastille Day, July 14, when the French celebrated the destruction of monarchy, nobility and priestcraft, as outcomes of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic wars, which changed the map of Europe, and attained their independence as a republic, liberty to order their own affairs, which they enjoy to this day. France and Spain signed the Moroccan treaty, which outlines the measures by which "they nope to maintain peace in the land around the Riff." The Sultan of Morocco, a puppet of France, and Primo de Rivera, the dictator of Spain, were among the celebrants of the day, but they were heavily guarded, having been openly insulted by the radicals of France, who resented the presence of the Sultan puppet and the destroyer of the liberties of Spain in the celebration as guests of honor.
We give in another column of The Negro World today an outline of the treaty, which discloses the fear of both countries of getting what they claim in Morocco and in subduing the still rebellious tribesmen. In pacifying the tribes each nation is allowed free access of troops and independence of action in its particular zone, but just what the two zones are has not been ascertained, because of the interference of the tribesmen, who are still rebellious and unconquered. It is bad business and can lead to no good to seek to rule other people without their consent. History proves that. Neither Spain nor France has gained anything in seeking to dominate the tribesmen and it is doubtful if they ever will do so. The people of northern Africa, and all other parts of Africa, should be free and independent of European domination.
COTTON CULTURE IN THE FAR WEST
READERS of The Negro World who live in the Southern States of the United States and African Sudan will be interested in the news that California has become a cotton growing State, its climate and rich valleys being found peculiarly adapted to the growth of the plant, which requires a certain sort of climate and soil in order to prosper. The British have been led to experiment with cotton culture in Africa and India in order to free itself from dependence on the American supply, and its success in the Nile Valley is said to be very encouraging, the native labor taking kindly to the cultivation of the plant. Cotton growing in the Southern States has been declining of late years because of the ravages of the boll weevil and the scarcity of labor due to the migrant movement from the South, which is still in progress.
Max Stern, writing in The Nation, tells us that California raised last year 77,000 bales of cotton, while this year's yield is 130,000 bales, with the expectation that next year there will be 400,000 acres under cultivation, yielding 370 pounds per acre against 165.5 pounds as the nation-wide average. Mexican peon cheap labor has been the chief labor reliance, there being some 250,000 Mexicans employed. It is said that the Southern migrants shun the California cotton fields for the big cities, while the California Cotton Journal flings out the statement that "California does not want to saddle itself with a Negro problem." Perhaps, but we sometimes have to do what we do not want to do.
The world needs cotton and plenty of it and will cultivate it wherever it will grow.

No doubt, a racial standard satisfies a race, but granting that it does it is not the satisfaction which comes when the highest possible efficiency has been reached. Our race, as a whole, has not reached that point where its satisfaction alone signifies that a sufficiently high standard of efficiency has been attained. Hence, the Negro must not be satisfied with only the satisfaction of his race. An American standard, of course, satisfies America. A world standard satisfies the world, and it is that standard for which the Negro must arrive. It is the standard that measures the highest efficiency of the earth. It is the only standard worth while.—Atlanta Independent.
The Negro has no cause for complaint because other people garner wealth of him, but refuse to grant him employment. He calls it discrimination, but it is only the law of self preservation, that is almost as old as nature itself. Only the Negro, it seems, has failed to learn of its value, in the field of business. We alone pretend to deprive himself of the world’s goods that others may have riches, and roll in wealth. Charlotte Messenger.

THERE ARE NO INFERIOR RACES
IN his eloquent address before the African Congress at the Gammon Theological Seminary, in Atlanta, in 1897, Dr. John W. Hamilton, who afterwards became a bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and who had gained distinction by his Negro educational work for his church, bravely declared that "there are no inferior races—there are races with inferior opportunities." The statement, made before a notable audience, created a sensation at the time, as all statements of so startling a nature always do. It is a fact worth while considering at this time, when the white races have about decided among themselves that they are "the superior race," with Divine right to subjugate all other races because, they assume, they are inferior races. The English speaking peoples lead in proclaiming and seeking to make effective this heresy of race superiority and the right of the alleged superior to subjugate and rule the alleged inferior without his consent.
---
But it is no new thing in the history of mankind for one race to claim superiority because at the time it has the supremacy in intellectual development, in war or in the pursuits of peace. It is noticeable, however, that all such claims, including those of Rome, Greece and Babylon, were disallowed and their alleged superiority and supremacy destroyed. The fall of Babylon was great, but the diplomacy and fall of Rome was far greater and affected the fortunes of mankind in a more direct way, as it really marked the passing of the ancient and the incoming of the modern civilization, of which we are a part. But it is a true saying that mankind learns little by experience. Each must venture into the flame and be burned in order to be convinced that fire is really a consumi and destructive force when wrongfully used. So is water. All things are good in their proper places and bad otherwise and dangerous and difficult to be controlled. But mankind refuses to profit by experience in this as in many other matters, as the devastating World War showed us anew. Another war is already in the making and because of the very same reasons that brought on the World War.
In his front page article on "Liberty," in the last week's issue of The Negro World, President-General Marcus Garvey, having in mind the world movement to enslave and exploit the African and Asiatic races, which is now in full swing, among other things, said
In twentieth century civilization there are no inferior and superior races. There are backward peoples, but that does not make them inferior. As far as humanity goes, all men are equal, and especially where peoples are intelligent enough to know what they want. At this time all peoples know what they want—it is liberty. When a people have sense enough to know that they ought to be free, then they naturally become the equal of all in the higher calling of man to know and direct himself. It is true that economically and scientifically certain races are more progressive than others; but that does not imply superiority. For the Anglo-Saxon to say that he is superior because he exploits gunpowder to destroy life, or the Teuton because he compounded liquid gas to outdo in the art of killing, and that the Negro is inferior because he is backward in that direction is to leave one's self open to the retort of "Thou shalt not kill" as being the divine law that sets the moral standard of the real man.
But the Divine law, which the Christian nations have accepted in the Semitic Scriptures, does not influence modern statesmen in the least in seeking advantage of other races, and even in their dealings one with the other in the ordinary relations of life. Hypocrisy and vileness have a very controlling grip upon the statesmen and tradesmen of the Christian nations, insofar that it is difficult for them to be honest one with the other. It is a bad and dangerous condition, just such a one as prevailed at the flood, when the every thought of man was said to be corrupt. What the world needs is moral regeneration, based upon the Christian philosophy of brotherhood, and that is just what it is striving to prove, in the race superiority business, that it does not want and will not have. That is to say, it is seeking destruction just as the ancients sought it. More's the pity.
PRESIDENT BORNO AND THE USUAL SALUTE
WHEN President Louis Borno of Haiti arrived in New York harbor a short time ago he was entitled to a salute of twenty-one guns, but there was confusion among the army officers and the salute was not fired until the President had moved and was handling at the pier, where he was bolsterously re-ruled by a body of Haitians residing in New York who do not recognize him or the American occupation which made him preside over which he is obligingly subservient. These radicals claim that the French army had taken the country in the interest of the people and that the length of the United States, who have taken over the world land and enter its affairs as they doom best for the occupation of the sovereignty of Haiti occurred after the assassination of President Wilson, who after the World War was killed in the attack "Saving the world for democracy" and the establishment of principles to aid determination in their

WALNUTS FOR TEETH
Did you ever see a boy with a couple of walnuts growing where most of us keep our teeth? Perhaps you have seen some great magic artist produce a dozen eggs from his mouth. This youngster was not a magician. Just ask a certain dentist in one of Mariem's dental offices about this boy. This boy had neglected his teeth. When his mother took him to the clinic he had two abcesses so large that they looked for all the world like a couple of walnuts. If everyone went to a dentist at least twice a year such abcesses would be good exhibits in the penny freak museum. Early treatment of small cavities prevents the formation of the major abcesses. If you don't think that an abcess gives your jaw the feeling of a baseball hot from the bat of Babe Ruth, ask the man who owns one. He will not be proud of it.
change you'll never have a tooth ache. Tooth are little things, but they know how to work mischief. Some doctors think that heart disease and rhumatism are caused by abcessed teeth. You have two sets of teeth. The sound set is the last that you get without paying for it. No dentist can give you an good teeth as those you grow yourself. Ask your dentist to help you, save your own. You will enjoy a juicy beef steak or fried chicken better with your own home grown set of teeth. Save them.
DR. GREENWAY WON'T HEAD NEGRO COLLEGE
Correspondence made public by New York members of the Alumni Association disclosed that Dr. Walter B. Greenway, pastor of Bethlehem Temple Congregational Church, Philadelphia, had declined the presidency of Lincoln University, a Negro institution.
Friends of Dr. Greenway state that he had made known his intention of refusing the Presidency before students and alumni protected against his selection, declaring him to be a Klan sympathizer.
In his letter of declination to the Rev. John B. Laird, of Philadelphia, chairman of the Board of Trustees of the institution, Dr. Greenway said in part:
"After taking into consideration my present work and especially conditions in my family, I cannot bring myself to the place where I can accept the offer tendered me. It would mean in a way breaking up my home. My two sons, 19 and 20, are just entering the business world and I feel it would not be fair to leave them in Philadelphia at this time in their life. Mrs. Greenway and I both feel our first duty is to them until they become definitely anchored and somewhat older. This is, perhaps, the strongest reason why we feel we ought not to accept the work at Lincoln University."

WASHINGTON. July 17. — Mark progress has been made in the economic condition of Negro farmers in Southampton County, Va., within the past sixty years, according to a report by the United States Department of Agriculture. The low price of land in the early post-bellum days favored land purchase in this area. The rapid increase in the value of timber products afforded a profit while clearing the land for crops. The market for peanuts and the improvement in the price of cotton increased Negro prosperity. The survey upon which these findings were made included 160 Negro farmers oweers and 112 teemmets. C.

Young Howard Graduate in a Striking Thesis Gives an Explanation of the Prejudice of the White Man Toward the Negro From the Psychiatric Standpoint
An Examination of the Conflict Raging in the Breast of White Men Who Desire Negro Women While Pursuing Negro Men with Whip and Lynch-Rope
The Negro World has secured for publication an interesting thesis from the pen of Dr. Herman A. Warner, a recent graduate of Howard Medical School, on the subject of Race Prejudice. The thesis which earned 85 per cent, was submitted by young Warner to Dr. Ben Karpman, of the Department of Psychiatry, St. Elizabeth's Hospital, Washington, D. C. .The second installment follows:
The human world long ago recognized the fact that the savage African tribesman had a soul to save and a mind to develop, and to accomplish this, we are told that missionaries from the length and breadth of christendom poured into the dark continent bent upon religious and educational exploitation. The self-sacrifice and perseverance of those few pioneers of "truth and light" have borne fruit and stand as everlasting monuments in the records of time. But enough of the African's soul and mind. Let us now turn to his body, with the temptations of the flesh, and review this side of the picture.
The black man like the heart of the field must toil and labor under the yoke, in order that the white man's social scheme may be long-lived. Accordingly, by force and by divine condemnation, he was taken out of Africa the home of his fathers, and brought to foreign soil, there to evolve as best he could, in an environment physically unattainable and mentally hostile. For the time being his soul to be saved and his mind to be educated were relegated to the background, and the worth of his body, then of paramount importance, was standardised in terms of horsefeish. He was allowed to propagate his kind like cattle. A physically beautiful Negro, abounding in sexual potency, was considered as of the highest economic value. With the sanction of his white master, he filled the role of breeder, and in the course of time several sturdy little Negro youngsters of different mothers were the result of his promiscuous sex relationships. All credit must be given to the fertile minds which could engineer such depredations in the name of civilization and of Christianity. Noble sons of America, your country is proud of you!
Now for a moment pause and take a cursory view of the occurrences of the libido in its hampered course through social pathways. The Negro woman's body, placed in the same category of that of the she-wolf, is good to look upon, and the warmth of her passionate temperament opens up pathways of many possibilities. The white master has long gazed upon her with longing eyes, but his psychic, true to his training, comes into conflict with his sexual desire. The one tells him that she is far down in the phylogenetic scale; the other assures him that she bears the likeness of his white wife in secondary sexual characteristics, despite the color of her skin and the texture of her hair. The conflict presses upon him in its desire to overwhelm and one of two things happens. If he is enabled to repress this social desire into the unconscious, then the psychic lies buried for a time, and struggling to the surface every once in a white manifests itself in distorted and unrecognizable forms. Henceforth, the Negro exists in the unconscious mechanism as the superior of the two types, because he possesses sexually that which is denied the other socially.
As a means, therefore, of compensation at the unconscious level, our white friend puruas his jiego adversary with the whip and every means of brutality available, in order to render him sexually and physically deficient, while he expresses for the object of his desire the venom of his abuse and scorn. For such is the workings of the imprisoned psyche, regardless of the frame in which it resides.
Now, on the other hand, if the sexual urge overrides the ruling of the psyche, the white master takes unto himself his Negro slave in secret or in open concubinage, and in this also another conflict arises. He has either acknowledged to the Negro woman as his equal in the highest of human functions, that of the propagation of the species, or he has condemned himself for all time as a sexual pervert, in that he has committed an antisocial act, viz: having intercourse with a member of the lower animal kingdom.
So we find, on reviewing the mental development of distinct racial groups, occupying the same geographical boundaries, that each has its psychological and psychiatric situations to encounter, and that it is damnably unfit to expose the shortcomings of any one particular group, and cover up the abnormalities of another. What is sauce for the genes is likewise sauce for the gander.
The influence of the home has had been recognized as one of the greatest factors for good, in development of the psyche, through the stray wives of childhood and pake the shackle of puberty and of adolescence. Understanding of and sympathy for the formative processes, which unify normal development are essentials of the ideal home. The South has always beaten of its perfect parents and "Northern alchemy" has brought prosperity, although it is now within the

The Why and the Wherefose
Now let us try to unravel this alienation of inconstance with the doft fingers of psychiatric method and attempt to explain the why and the whereofs of so perplexing a situation. Is it merely by accident that the Negro woman is placed in a position of confidence and trust, or does the motive underlying this acknowledgment of high womanhood penetrate into the recesses of the sexual unconscious?
I tried to show in the preceding paragraphs the various avenues of compensation through which the imprisoned psyche may escape, and here again we are faced with another such mechanism. The conflict arising out of the sexual desire to possess the Negro woman and the ban placed upon such act by the social psyche has established in the white man a rebellious emotional makeup. He lynches father, husband, son or brother of the desired object, because this act is a symbolic representation of the destruction of the entire male species of the Negro race, which stands in his sexual pathway and which, as a result of the conflict has been adjudged superior. On the other hand, still adhering to the mechanism of compensation, the knowledge the nobility of womanhood which resides in the Negro woman, and accordingly elevates her to the dignity of guardian of its children, to share in the pleasures of motherhood with his white life. That such emotional instability exists and that it is initiated in deep-seated sexual conflicts appears to me as being of the greatest importance in the explanation of certain psychic traits and personality makeupes of the white man.

Those members who have met the requirement of the association by paying their annual dues for 1925 and 1926 will be qualified and will be given a voice and vote in the deliberation of the association.

WASHINGTON.—The enactment of legislation in the closing days of Congress which creates a division in the Department of Agriculture to foster the development of co-operative marketing among farmers is of great interest to the thousands of colored tillers of the soil. The extent to which they are interested is indicated by their production of those things which are absolutely necessary to the program, comfort and happiness of the nation.
Colored farm operators produce each year approximately 100,000,000 bushels of corn; 4,100,000 bales of cotton; 2,000,000 tons of cotton seed; 100,000,000 pounds of tobacco; 12,000,000 bushels of sweet potato; 4,000,000 bushels of white potatoes; 5,000,000 bushels of peanuts; 4,000,000 bushels of oats; 2,000,000 bushels of wheat; 1,500,000 bushels of dry beans; 800,000 bushels of rice; 50,000 bushels of rye; and 49,000 bushels of edible beans.
To this list of important sample groups should be added the production of barley, mustard, soy bean, barley corn, alfalfa and brown corn, and so on the large quantities of fruits and vegetables sold for sale should be added the commercial production of oat foodstuffs such as poultry, eggs, milk, butter, beef, real pork and chicken. If the Department of Agriculture will explain the advantages of co-operative marketing to the large numbers of farmers the area to be in the agricultural wealth of the country will render a considerable advantage.

ROME, July 12.—The sami-officia
Tribune today decinred that Italy wil
Insist upon being treated on a bast
of absolute equality with England
France and Spain in any eventual in
ternational settlement of the Tangle:
question.
‘The paper asserts Premier Mussolin
recently held an important interview
concerning Tangier with representa.
tives of the other interected powers.
(Tangier, in the extreme north-
weat. corner of Africa, was inter-
nationalized by a pretocol aigned in
July, 1928, by Great Britain, France
and Spain. The recent diMculties
in Morocco have served to open up
the question of sphere of influence
in Tangier and the Italian press
has been suggesting that Italy

Jenks’ summary of fereign contre!
of Cuba, concentrated in the hands
of half » Gosen bankers, brokers an

“Beventy-five percent of Cuba‘s
suger, which amounts to 90 percent
of ber entire exports, Is produced tn
mills which are American owned. or
which are controlled on mortgage or
operating agreement by American and
Canadian banks.
“The public utilities in the cities
are all controlled by thy American &
Foregin Power Co. which was until
recently a subsidiary of the General
Electric Co., and ts atill clerely identi-
fled with it.
“Of the two principal railways sys-
tems, one is controlied by a voting
trust xponrored by the National City
Bank, the other in a British concern,
operated from London.
“The banking of Cuba, foreign and
domestic {x 90 percent in the hands

“The only producing mines in Cuba

by the American Metalx Co. |
“Docks and shipping facilities are
largely in American hands. |
“It has been estimated that a fifth
of the nofl of Cuba is owned by citi-

Hindu and Moslem fight over the worship of the “sacred

the latter is dubbed untouchable. The wily British ruleseall growps,

for the benefit of England.
Mahatma Gandhi has made many attempts to unite his. fellow

before these people throw off their superstition and fanatacism, yet
tm 1929 we feel sure that England will be obliged to yield to the
demands of a harmonious majority.
‘Another great drawback to the progress of these people is the
appalling misery and illiteracy of the masses, while princes live in
palaces and are fabulously ich. Superstition deatrova all aympathy
for each other, hemte.mahasajahs are content to hoard their wealth,

disease take their yearly toll of lives, while Mr. X and his associates
spend a few millions in Paris and London to entertain white women.
Accoding to the-cable dispatches the great scourge—cholera—is
rampant in Burma. From Delhi comes this remarkable news, under
the caption, “Rajahs, Buildisig Palaces, are Rivals in splendor”:
“Now that the viceroy's palatial buildings in Delhi are ready,
maharajahs and nawabs are vying with one another in occupying
grounds allotted to them in the construction scheme planned by Sir
Edward Lutyens. The Nizam of Hyderabad will spend ‘oot

“The Maharajah of Kashmir's pala@ will cost him £250,000, and

“The Gaekwar of Baroda’s tastes are simple and he likes the

BRAZIL SEEKS JAPANESE IMMIGRATION
Be VIEW WIT INSELESS CHE TENCE CHAT CRS IF CHGCAVOTING
WwW to get from Japan about 10,000 Japanese to help develoy
the vast agricultural area of this South Americas
republic
There are already” over 30.000 Japanese in the country. beside
Portuguese, Germans and Italians, who are taking advantage of thi:
virgin country, as the Indians and half-breeds are too indolent te
exert themselves in the fields and in the mines. As the development o
the country progresses the need for dependable labor becomes mor
imminent. and Japan, happily for her, is asked to supply this need
thereby relieving her over-populated country of several thousand
hardy people, who are ingenious enough to make even barren areas
productive. Mr. Norton,.commenting on the subject in the New
Yo?k Herald Tribune states:
“When a Japanese colony goes off like that they are not just so
many individuals who can be bullied and exploited at the will of the
employers. Théy are a little section of Japan anid are carefully
watched over by the home government. They do not long remain
laborers. Capital is found for them, and before long they sre run-
ning their awn farms and their own business entérprites. ‘hose of
Brazil who are seeking docile and efficient laborers may find that
they have introduced very effective competitors.” -
If the surplus populations of Italy, Germany and Portugal can
become employers in Brazil, why can't the Japanese? They are a
thrifty, hard-working, silent people who ar¢ leading the yellow race,
and may yet give their pale-iaced brothers a big surprise not only
in industrial competition, but in world-leadership. *
A colony is carefully watched over by the home government,
warns Mr. Norton. And why shottld it be otherwise? One English-
man trayeling in any part of the world is carefully looked after. One
white American, killed with irapunity, can cause the whole country
to go to war. Why shouldn't all peoples have strong governments
to protect individuals. A colony of Negoes going to Bazil would be
at the ditadvantage of not having any potection, as they have no
government of their own. They could be underpaid ; robbed of their
belongings, turned off the soil after they had made it productive,
murdered or stsbjected to the vilest treatment. Yet, they would
have no government to which they could appeal and have their
wrongs righted, and indemnities demanded. |
Japan wants to expand like Italy, and she is going about it with,
jess noise than Riussoiini makes, but she is surely on her way. , |

THE NEWS AND VIEWS OF U.N.I.A. DIVISIONS

These promising singers and entertainers are directed by Mrs. D. K. Holmes, well known in local musical circles. Before her marriage Mrs. Holmes was pianist for the U. N. L. A. choir.
Sunday, July 11, was Women's Day. The ladies spared no pain to attain success and their efforts were fully rewarded. The committee consisted of Mrs. Ann Booth, Mrs. Rosa Simmons and Mrs. Mabel Turner. The follow-up program was remitted at 8:30 p. m.: Processional Hymn, "Shine on, Eternal Light"; religious exercises by the Hon. T. M. Fisher, second vice-president; presentation of the Mistress of Ceremony, Mrs. Mabel Turner, by the President; selection by the choir; the president-general weekly message was read by Mrs. Ann Booth; solo by Mrs. Louise J.

These ladies are the pride of our divisions and were forced to repeat with an encore. "An. eloquent address was made by Mrs. Roem Floyd, who was interrupted several times by the cheers which the audience showed upon her. Mrs. Floyd is a brilliant speaker and possesses a wonderful personality. Some years ago she served with honors as a public speaker in the south. Selection by the choir; closing remarks by the president.
The ladies of this division are de-
termined to stand firm and protect
the principles of the Association.
They are rendering signal service and

CAMAGUEY CITY, CAM
Garvey Day, July 4, was observed in this division with a joint service, in which the ladies took a prominent part. These ladies are working very hard to put on a firmer basis that very important unit of the division, the Black Cross Nurses. The leading spirits in this recent endeavor are the lady president, Mrs. K. Lauder, who is also matron, and Mrs. P. Francis, head nurse, and a band of faithful workers, who are working overtime to make the movement successful.
This meeting is the first of a series devoted to the foregoing. They are to be conducted exclusively by the ladies. Excessive rains washed out the previous date and caused the clash with the Garvey Day services. The lady president presided, and she did justice to her station. The hall was comfortably filled.
The program consisted of appropriate addresses on the subject in hand by prominent ladies of the division. From their depth of thought, and range of vision, these addresses must have occasioned considerable preparation. These were interspersed with some rich musical selections, vocal and instrumental, all of which were executed with marked musical ability.
The following persons contributed to the program; Mrs. S. Walcott, Mrs. A. Scott, Mrs. Smith and Miss A. Clayton, who were conspicuous by the forceful nature of their appeal, and which merited the response they received from the audience; also a recitation by Miss Solma Williams, association secretary, entitled "The Negro Joan of Arc" which brought down a storm of applause. Among the solata, special mention must be made of Miss Clarke, whose exquisite soprano never failed to charm; Miss Rodd, Miss House and Miss Clayton, are all singers of rare merit. The lady president gave a very illuminating address on the part our women should play in the life of the U. N. I. A. drawing examples from the lives of such universally known women as Joan of Arc and Florence Nightingale. The audience was delighted.
The president, Mr. F. Francis, then made a brief address, commending the ladies, and exhorting them to continue their fine work. The meeting was finally turned over to the chaplain, Mr. Lionel Smith, who concluded the service with a prayer in behalf of our impassioned leader. This is customary closing at all Garvey Day services. The singing of the National Anthem closed the meeting. L. P. RATHRAY, Reporter.
One of the most admirable and beautiful features of the U. N. L. A is the "carry on" spirit of the membership. It is positively something unboarded in of the annuals of Negro history. Many would describe it as likened to a prairie fire: always bursting out in some new and unexpected place. It is absolutely unquenchable, and must undoubtedly be a mystery to the enemies of Negro liberty and independence.
A series of weekly mass meetings has been inaugurated by the membership of the Oakland Division, in order to further stimulate and arouse the spirit of the yet "untouched" members of our city. These meetings are being held in addition to the regular Sunday afternoon meetings, hoping to reach those persons who are unable to be with us on other occasions. The spirit of our determination and unshakable confidence is irresistible, and our efforts have been rewarded by several additions to our membership.
An unusually interesting and informative address was given by Mr. J. Cyprano, a pioneer member of the organization, at our Tuesday night mass meeting of July 13. Many masters with which we were unacquainted were brought to our attention. His talk reminded us of a large searchlight being focused by the U. N. I. A., as he related the meaning and significance of his experiences in various parts of the world. It is steadily becoming more evident that what the Negro most needs is a greater knowledge of himself, for when he truly finds himself, it is conceded that his rise will be swift and sure. Let all Negroes fall in line, for the U. N. I. A. is pointing the way to his salvation and future deity.
ARTHUR S. GRAY. Reporter.
ATTENTION!
Presidents, Secretaries, Officers and Members are requested to read and study the following statement:
"When we come to consider the question of man, it is plain that the Negro, like the rest of mankind, has a place in the world. His place, however, will not be given to him by others, but he must take and occupy it. For centuries he has lived on the mercy of those who are willing to dole out to him sympathy and charity. With that much he has been unable to reach the pinnacle of human equality and greatness."—MARCUS GARVEY.
Officers must also read and explain the Rehabilitation Fund comments in the Negro World.

PANAMA CITY, R. P.
A most interesting program was rendered at Division No. 17 on Sunday, July 4. Coupled with the regular Garvey Day services was the installation of officers for the 1926-27 term. The rostrum was graced with the presence of a few of our local intellectuals. Services were commenced at 6 p.m. by Mr. L. A. H. Edwards, chaplain for the Cheva Chava Division, C. Z., and the sermon for the evening was delivered by Dr. J. T. Barton, LL.D. A short address of welcome was then given by the president, Mr. L. A. Lindo, following which the president-general's weekly message in The Negro World was read by Mr. J. B. Jones, assistant secretary.
The program was composed of anthems by the choir, solos, recitations and addresses, etc., from members friends, and well-wishers, each of which was interesting and inspiring. Among the contributions of interest and those deserving special mention was an elocutionary number by Miss Iann Johnson, a little ten-year-old wonder, whose recitation on "The Future of the Soul" consumed about seventeen minutes, during which period she kept her hearers spell-bound. Her recitation was rendered in so masterly a manner that it was difficult to conceive the possibility of a child of that tender age deporting itself so well in public. Her articulation ang gestures were superb. She earned showers of applause from the audience at the end of her contribution and the joyous acclamation and appreciation on her behalf could only be silenced by the repeated use of the gavel by the president.
Messrs. S. K. Walters and S. H. White each gave an interesting address. The former speaking on "The Evolution of Manliness" and the latter on "Organization." Solo by Mr. J. K. Mowatt, "The Victor," accompanied by Miss L. Holder. Recitations by Misses I. Chancier and Iona Martin.
Next in turn was the installation of officers, which was aly handled by Mr. L. I. Myers, executive secretary of the Paralelo Division. As master of ceremonies Mr. Myers cannot be too well praised. He handle the installation in a masterly way and because of his firm admonition, all installed officers were compiled to feel the seriousness of their obligation. The following are the installed officers: Mr. L. A. Lindor president; Mr. P. Flemmings, first vice-president; Mr. J. R. Sinclair, second vice-president; Mr. Leslie Sinclair third vice-president; Mr. A. N. Hutchinson, financial secretary; Mr. J. A. Tomillinson, recording secretary; Mr. J. R.

OAKLAND, CAL
Garvey Day was battingly celebrated by the Oakland Division on last Sunday afternoon, July 4. The spirit of perseverance, determination and courage is the most admirable feature of our assemblage. Persons visiting our meetings for the first time are noticeably attracted to this enthusiasm and sincere demonstration, and often compliment us accordingly. Mr. Felix Beckford, a pioneer booster and champion of Garveyism, acted as Master of Ceremonies. Mr. Beckford makes no apologies for his faith in the U. N. I. A. and boldly defends the organization when challenged by shallow-minded critics. Hearty applause greeted his statement of having heard over the radio one of the city's leading ministers make the declaration, "that America was literally the white man's country why not let the Negroes have Africa, as the black man's country.
The Juveniles of the Oakland Division, under the special tutelage and instruction of Egt. Joseph Johnson, are making wonderful progress. Their program of this particular Garvey Day was inspiring and entertaining. A U. N. J. A. yell was staged by the entire juvenile band that delighted and enthused the audience. Agreeing, with one of the afternoon's speakers, we repeat: "How can you crush Garvey, am, when so many recruits are being trained to carry on what Garvey has started."
Rev. F. W. Haynes was the speaker of the day, and in his remarks, paid a glowing tribute to the leadership of Hon. Marcus Garvey. The speaker, stated that Garveyism was likened unto the rising sun that had not as yet reached its genitic; and though unborn generations might be required to complete the work of African Redemption, our present day services would by no means be fruitless or wasted. Mr. T. E. Smith, an ex-officer, made a few pointed remarks on the advantages of African Redemption to the Negro race in general. Our me was closed by singing the National I Christian anthem.

NEW ORLEANS, LA
On July 11 the New Orleans Division ran an excursion to St. Repo, Louisiana, for the purpose of encouraging that division. The excursion was a mammoth success from two points of view, first, from a financial standpoint, and secondly for propagating the principles of The Universal Negro Improvement Association.
The train pulled out with the colors of the Red, Black and Green flying alongside that of the Stars and Stripes. Thanks to the untiring energies of the Hon. Marcus Garvey the Negro now has a flag of his own.
Arriving at our destination, a procession was formed which wended its way through the principal streets of St. Rose, proclaiming to the world that the U. N. I. A. was in town. Arriving at the hall the meeting began at 1 p.m. The following program was rendered: Opening ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountain," by the congregation: ritualistic performances by the Hon S. V. Robertson; introduction of the presidents and officers of the various divisions by the Hon. S. V. Robertson; welcome address by Mr. D. M. Hardy; president of St. Rose Division; response to welcome address by Philip Clinton; secretary of New Orleans Division; address by Hon. S. V. Robertson; rendition by U. N. I. A. band; address by Madam A. I. Robertson; congregational singing; address by Rev. S. Coleman, president of Lutcher Division; rendition by U. N. I. A. Band; address by Mr. G. W.

V. Robertson; benedication by S. Gand. The division returned home in the wee hours of the morning, tired but happy.
The New Orleans Division regrets the loss of the Honorable S. V. Robertson who has been transferred to a higher field by the parent body. We rejoice that he has been so honored, but we feel his loss keenly. His untiring energy and devotion to his work have made him an outstanding figure in this part of the country. We consider Mr. Robertson a great man devoted to the promotion of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and worthy of any honor the organization may confer upon him.

Detroit Division's
Excursion to Falls
Last year the Detroit Division, U.
N. I. A., took to the city of Chicago
the biggest, the most peaceful and the
most talked of excursion in Detroit.
This year it will take you away from
the rumblings and the monotony of
the city life to Niagara Falls where
you will see Nature and God's handi-
work in all its splendor.
You will see the half million dollar illumination which produces the colors of the rainbow penetrating the lofty waterfalls of Niagara, suspension bridge, Brock's monument, Niagara glen, the whirlpool, the aerocar, the table rock, the Horse Shoe Falls, the Devil's Hole, the whirlpool rapids and other Niagara scenic wonders that baffle pen and brush alike. No poet can transcribe its eternal poem nor artists its splendors paint. Niagara is a vari-colored spectacle. It cannot be seen in an hour for the changing light of every hour unfolds new beauty or reveals an added charm. Nothing comparable to it exists in the heart of civilized humanity. Go there and spend a day of days.
The train will leave the Union Depot on Saturday night, July 21, 1926. at 10 o'clock, arriving at the Falls at 7 a.m., then you will have until 10 p.m. to see all these beauties, returning on Monday, August 2, in time for your work. The round trip is only $8.95.

reconocimiento de al mismo despuesque la ilusión de inferioridad—Lo segrado y justificable de la libertad—Amor y confrateruidad segun el precepto divino—Vive y vivamos como la una universal—El planeta es propiedad de la humanidad en general
Conciudadano de mi raza:
Aprovecho esta oportdnidad para expresaros mis sentimientos sobre la libertad—la libertad individual, la libertad de nuestra raza.
El clamor y anhelo por libertad es sagrado y justificable en todas partes. Lo es para el anglo-sajón, para el teutónico y para el latino. Para el anglo-americano precede a todas las religiones y ahora aparecen el irlndés, el judio, el egipcio, el indu y el negro reclamando su parte así como tambien su derecho a ser libres.
Todos los hombres deben ser libres—libres para luchar por su propia salvación; libres para crearse su propio destino; libres para constituirse nacionalmente y crear una cultura y civilización propia. La cultura judáica es distinta a la cultura irlandesa; la cultura anglo-sajona no es igual
a la cultura teutonica, la cultura asiatica differe de la cultura europea. De la misma manera el mundo debe ser lo suficientemente liberal, para que el negro desarrollle en su latitud su propia cultura.
Porqué ha de ser el negro tan poco considerado entre las otras razas y naciones? ¿No le dió la Naturaleza las mismas facultades que a los demas? ¿No lo hizo el Creador del mismo material y a imagen y semejanza suya? En tales circunstancias apelamos a la conciencia del resto de la humanidad, para que no solamente se nos reconozca como seres humanos, sing que también se nos respeten nuestros derachos como tales.
Desde el punto de vista de nuestro idealismo como un grupo racial distinto, sentimos que ningun ser humano es lo suficientemente benévolo para governor al semejante, excluyendo sus derechos raciales. De aquí la cuestión de la tal llamada superiodidad e inferioridad de los diversos grupos. La civilización del presente no considera superioridad o inferioridad. El que existan pueblos atrasados no determina el que ellos sean inferiores. En lo que a la humanidad en general respecta, todos los hombres son iguales, especialmente cuando el pueblo es lo suficientemente inteligente para expresar sus aspiraciones.
Todos los pueblos saben actualmente lo que quieren—ello es libertad. Cuando un pueblo llega al convencimiento de que debe ser libre, se nivela al igual de los demas en la alta escala del hombre que se conoce y se dirije a sí mismo. Si bien es verdad que cientifica y económicamente ciertas razas son mas progresistas que otras, esto no implica superioridad en ellas. El que el anglo-sajon diga que es superior porque utiliza pólvora para destruir vidas 6 que el teutónico haga el mismo reclamo, porque compone gases asficiantes para sobreponerse en el arte del asesinato y que el negro es inferior porque no esta al corriente de esas u otras invenciones destructoras, nos lleva a la conclusión de que el precepto de "no matarás" es la ley divina que revela el estandarte moral del verdadero hombre.
No consideramos tal superioridad en la raza que económicamente monopoliza, todo aquello que tienda a la subsistencia de la vida, causando así descontento y desastre para las demas. El propósito mas elevado de la humanidad debe ser el amor freternal, la ayuda mutua y el disfrute por igual de todo aquello que nuestro Padre celestial haya puesto a nuestra disposición.
La idea de la superioridad e inferioridad de las razas es un tema mas que discutible. Sinembargo, admitiendo que, desde el punto de vista del hombre blanco, el se considere superior a los demas hombres, tal clase de superioridad es mas que inhumana y peligrosa, para que le sea beneficial por largo tiempo. Esa misma superioridad fue acariciada por otras razas en el pasado y aun por la nuestra, cuando nuestros antepasados clamaban una maravillosa civilización en las riberas del rio Nilo, mientras otros permanecían en la ignorancia; pero fracasó por su ilegalidad, como siempre ha acariciado.
La civilización será estable cuando lleguemos al punto
existencial donde nos consideremos una a otros como
flamenco, en doctr, cuando reconocemos el derecho de
"vivo y vivamos." Ningunt sir debe sentir el uso exclusivo
de grito glamor. Ese mundo pertenece a la humanidad en
general y está grupo tiene derecho a la perciencia que le
designa. El negro anhela la suyya y en términos facti-
bilidades la sustituire.
Ose al matter donee por el éxito, tengo el honor de ser,
Ventre obediente servidor.

Tusas los individuos como los pueblos se encuentran a veces perjudicados en cuanito a esa preciona tendencia. La libertad no viene de por si sobre ningun genero ni es facilmente conseguida.
El individuo, para gosar de libertad, sea esta economica, intellectual, física o civica, tiene en la mayoría de las veces que laborar encientemente, sometidose a las duras pruebas del sacrificio; y en cuanto a los pueblos, estos siempre pasan por la misma senda.
Para desembarazar a un pueblo del enemigo de la libertad, es preciso que se mismo pueblo conste de elementos con devoción a ese gran ideal; individuos dotados con el espíritu de la determinación.
Recordemos los sacrificios de que fueron objeto los hijos de la juvenile república de Cuba, influenciados estos por sus ilustres jefes Marcelo, Marti y otros. Eos hombres supieron defender los derechos de su pueblo en los momentos de amarguras y hoy día la república, que es el galardón de sus sacrificios, extiende sus brazos benévolos a millares de extranjeros, quienes bascan recursos pecunios, los cuales le son limitados en sus propias cunas.
Son dignos de notar ademas los sacrificios que hicieron los peregrinos británicos cuando llegaron a las costes de la America del Norte, dispuestos a abrirse paso en todas las esferas de la vida, aunque tuvieron que afrontar la rigider del invierno, las fiernas en los bosques y otros tantos obstáculos. Revestidos ellos con el espiritu del herirosmo y conocedores de si mismos, no estaban dispuestos a sucumbir por más tiempo al gobierno peimista de los Carlos de Inglaterra.
Si estamos convencido que estos hombres practicaron el bien, si sus esfuerzos han traido beneficio al progreso de nuestro mundo, si la memoria de estos hombres llecan nuestros corazones con jubilo, si los laureles conquisaden por ellos nos encantan y por fin, si admitimos que estos heroes han pavimentado el sendero para su posteridad, debemos nosotros como humanos, como hombres, como agentes libres de la Creación, laborar y luchar tenarmente en pro de la libertad de nuestro propio pueblo, aunque preciso fuera el someternos a las mas rudas pruebas de sacrificios y abnegaciones.
Y como miembros de una raza, hemos de tolerar por siempre los atropellos que a diario de cometen con nuestro elemento en todas partes? Permaneceremos en estado letárgico hasta que la historia de cuenta de la inactividad de la raza? Esto se aleja del pensamiento de los nuestros, muchos de los cuales mantienen que estamos bien? Qué mas queremos? dicen. . . . No tenemos entre nosotros médicos, abogados, cadrétricos, pedagogos, legisladores, etc.? A esto hemos de preguntar también: Dónde esta el campo donde este elemento pueda poner en práctica sus actividades, para beneficio suyo y para el de la raza en general?
Es indiscutible el que nuestro elemento ha contribuido al establecimiento de muchos de los gobiernos actuales; ¿ en cual de ellos tiene el mismo derecho ciudadanico de los demas, de acuerdo con sus leyes? ¿ No vemos al elemento de la raza capacitado en todos los ordenes de la vida política, social y económica despreciado a la menor oportunidad? ¿ No hemos de realizar que somos la minoria en cuanto a las actividades de los gobiernos constituidos y por tal razon, aunque las leyes especificen el derecho por igual, siempre seremos privado de ese derecho porque el sentimiento de la mayoría así lo determina? Hasta cuando hermanos, hasta cuando!

Ha sido tomado ademas en gran estimación la lealtad de Vd., acompañado de ese cuerpo de redacción, a nuestro leader quien bien lo morce y no era posible fuera abandonado en los momentos mas propicios y de gran prueba, hoy que apura la cicuta amarga de los sufrimientos y martiros en una carcel, con la determinación de un heroe y la conformidad de un martir, en honor a su causa que es la muestra.
Por ello se accordó felicitarlo de todo corazon y exhortarlo a que siga cooperando así con la sinceridad y amor probado, como saben portarse los que concientemente deficen una idea y hacen suya una causa.
Tengo el honor de remitirle unos ejemplares del semanario que me honro dirijir titulado "Nueva Era," donde aparece engalanando sus columnas la effigie de nuestro Presidente General, Motises del siglo de luz y civilización. Es lamentable que el semanario "El Etiope" no pudiera seguir su labor educativa, por la poza coopercion que le prestaran los pertenecientes a nuestra raza, elementos poco enamorados de su yo y yo poco amantes del progreso de su raza, colectivamente hablando.
Le suplico nos ponga a las ordenes del honorable Marcus Garvey, haga llegar hasta el un número de los que le envio y salude en nombre del Capitulo Cubano 71, a todos los componentes del Cuerpo Parental de nuestra gran asociación.

En cumplimiento del deber
Habéis cumplido con vuestre deber? Esta es estrictamente una pregunta personal, dirijida a los miembros de la organización por los directores de la misna, al propagar la colección de fondos para su rehabilitación. El manifiesto publicado con este objeto dice:
"Hemos pasado ya por la prueba de la critica peligrosa y llegado al punto donde solamente nuestra propia indiferencia para continuar la labor emprendida, nos podra llevar a la derrota. Estamos compenetrados de las grandes responsabilidades de las divisiones, pero tenemos presente ademas que estes no superan a las de la dirección general del movimiento. De la misma manera que el gobierno federal es supremo en el cuerpo político de los Estados Unidos, cada miembro de esta organización debe considerar el cuerpo parental como el poder supremo, controlando y guiando las divisiones. Cualquier mala interpretación de sus planes, determina desavenencias entre las mismas. Esto no es una imposición; es una apelación al sentido de responsabilidad en lo que a la raza y a la organización respecta. Abrigamos la esperanza de que cada miembro tome esto en consideración como un deber sagrado, enviando su contribución y reclibiendo certificados de honor, firmados por nuestro heroico leader, el honorable Marcus Garvey."
Esta es una apelación que no podria ser expresada en términos mas sinceros y como resultado de ello, notamos con gran agradecimiento el que los miembros han realizado la importancia de la rehabilitación de nuestro magno movimiento de progreso.

AND-EL-KEM'S LINK
ON MISSISON ISLAND
(From the New York Sun)
The island of Reunion in the Pacific Ocean, about 130 miles southwest of Port Louis, Mauritius, and 400 miles southeast of Tamatave, Madagascar, has been designated by French authorities as the place of exile for Abd-Ei-Krim. It is a long way from the Riff country and the probability that the exiled chieftain will be able to get back home without permission is remote.
The climate of Reunion is none too healthful for Europeans, but its native population, consisting of several mixtures of Norman, Breton, Malaysian, Indian and Negro blood, thrives pretty well. It has several small cities, of which the capital, St. Denis, beats of many modern improvements and a fine botanical garden.
If Abd-El-Krim remembers his history and possesses a grain of humor he should be able to get a smile from the name of his ayylum. Once it was known as Bourbon, but the hot patriots of the French Revolution rechristened it. As Abd-El-Krim has been exiled because of his own hot patriotism, he should be able to draw some amusement out of the coincidence. Yet if the exile is still of adventurous spirit worse places could have been found for him than this. The island is of volcanic origin and, although only forty-five miles in its greatest length and thirty-two miles its greatest breadth, it has a rugged variety of scenery to lure a political prisoner to explorations. It has one peak which reaches a height of 10,600 feet, another which reaches 9,000 feet, and there are lesser eminences that would be considered respectable mountains in Abd-El-Krim's own Rif country.
Now and then, it is true, a volcano becomes active and sends a shower of lava down upon some village. Occasionally an Indian Ocean cyclone comes along and ripe things up a bit. But life on Reunion is normally placid. The rum made there is of excellent quality, although for Abd-El-Krim that will be a matter of only academic interest, since he is a Mohammedan and the drinking of rum is forbidden by his religion.
The deposed Riff chelstai's would have preferred exile in some European city, but his conquerors respect him too much to have him close to his own people. Probably he will, be well received by the population of Reunion. Yet there is pathos in the idea of this bold eagle of north Africa mewed up in a volcanic island far out in the Indian Ocean.
As Automobiles Gain Bicycles Lose Favor
The bicycle, like the buggy rider, is trailing over the hills of time behind the Indian and the buffalo. The Census Bureau has just completed a formidable compilation of statistics on the bicycle industry in the United States in the census year 1925, as compared with the last biennial census of manufactures in 1923. They show that the bicycle industry shrank nearly a full third in the two-year interval. The establishments engaged primarily in the manufacture of the bicycles produced 287,495 bicycles, valued at $6,723,649; parts valued at $3,062,645; and other classes of products valued at $1,494,820, making a total of $11,251,314 in 1925. In addition a number of bicycles were manufactured as secondary products by establishments engaged primarily in other industries.
In the same year the establishments engaged primarily in the manufacture of motorcycles produced $3,340 motorcycles valued at $8,873,917; parts, including side cars, valued at $3,456,264, and other classes of products valued at $471,476, making a total of $12,801,687. In addition, motorcycles and parts valued at $192,443 were made as subsidiary products by bicycle manufacturers in 1925.
Expedition Seeks to Learn
LONDON—One of the announced objects of a new English scientific expedition is to learn whether whales are polygamous.
A modern whaling ship and an up-to-date trawler have set out from Hull to join Capt. Scott's ship, the Discovery, at Cape Town. The vessels will operate around South Georgia, a small British island in the south Atlantic, and the West African coast.
If it is found that the male whale has more than one male measures will be taken to endguard the male and further propagate the species.
Many towns still admit the 856 feet to the top of the Washington Merrimack despite the new speedometer that makes the trip in one minute and fifteen seconds.
Of 1,000 persons who went to the top the other day, 500 visited an earlier day the previous day, out of 1,000.

To climb a hill that hungers for the sky.
To dig my hands wrist deep in pregnant earth.
To watch a young bird, voicing, learn to fly.
To give a still, stark poem shining birth.
To hear the rain dreal, dimpling down the drain
And splash with a wet giggle in the street.
To rumble in the twilight after supper,
And to count the pretty faces that you meet.
To ride to town on trolleys, crowded, teeming
With joy and hurry and laughter and push and sweat—
Squeezed a patent-leathered Negro dreaming
Of a wrinkled river and a mi narrow net.
To buy a paper from a breathless boy,
And read of Kings and Queens in foreign lands.
Hyperbole of romance and adventure.
All for a penny the color of my hand.
To lean against a strong tree's bosom, sentient
And hushed before the silent prayer it breathes.
To melt the still snow with my seething body
And kiss the warm earth tremulous underneath.
Ah, Life, to let your stabbing beauty pierce me
And wound me like we did the studded Christ.
To grapple with you, loving you too fiercely,
And to die bleeding—consummate with Life.
FARM POPULATION REDUCED IN 1925
Each Agricultural Group of States Shows—Tendency to Cities as Industrial Centers Incident.
From the New York Sun
WASHINGTON.—Detailed figures on the loss of farm population in the United States in 1925 as a result of the drift to the cities and industrial centers have been compiled by the Department of Agriculture. They show that each group of farming states lost population and that the migration from the soil was as great in prairie States as in New England.
Census Bureau estimates indicate that the population of the country as a whole increased at the normal or average rate of nearly 10 percent. The increase, however, was in the cities, towns and villages. The Census Bureau and the Department of Agriculture keep slightly different figures on farm and city population. For census purposes all those in hamlets or scant population are rural dwellers. The Department of Agriculture seeks to confine its figures to actual dwellers on farms.
In a population of more than 110,000,000, the Department of Agriculture estimates there were but 30,655,000 persons living on farms on January 1 of this year, as compared with 31,124,000 on January 1 of the previous year, a net loss of 479,000, or 1.5 percent.
The movement from the farm to cities, towns and villages in 1925 is estimated at 20,035,000 and the movement to farms at 1,135,000—a net movement away from farms of 901,000 persons. Births on farms during 1925 are estimated at 710,000 and deaths at 281,000, leaving a natural increase of 422,000, which reduces the loss in the city movement to 479,000.
The figures for 1924 showed a net loss in farm population of 182,000 persons. The gross movement from farms to cities in that year was 2,075,000 and the gross movement back to farms 1,235,000—a net movement, not counting births and deaths, of 679,000 persons.
All geographic divisions of the country showed net decreases in farm population during the last year.

JOHANNENBURG.—A search for the secret tomb of savage Afrinic chiefs is to be made smartly by Dr. Clement M. Deka, the chief lecturer in Bentu studies at the University of the Witwaterstud, Johannesburg.
These tombs are hidden in the Lama territories in Northern Rhodesia, and their sites are known to no white men and to only a few privileged members of the Lama people themselves. The tombs are said to house a remarkable collection of war weapons of the past.
It was while Dr. Doke was a missionary there some years ago that he heard of the existence of the secret graves. An old native told him that they were the sacred property of the tribe and that trustees from among the most respected members of the tribe were appointed from time to time to devote their lives to the task of watching over the tomba. Dr. Doke intends to make a study of the Lamba philology and phonetics in conjunction with his search for the graves, and he is taking with him a dictaphone, with which he will record speech, songs and folk lore. Three weeks will be spent, in the course of his investigations, in a journey with native carriers through little known country.
He will obtain food by means of both barter and the rifle. He will beating with him calico and salt. Fist is scarce there and more highly priced than sugar. Two cents' worth of salt will buy a fowl.
Auctioning Off War Relics in France
War relics are now at a discount in France.
Amends soon will dispose of one of the "Big Bertha," the cannon which hurled shells more than seventy-five miles into the city after the great German drive of March, 1918.
The gun, which was captured by the Australians, and given to the city along with a number of others of different calibre, has become cumbersome, in the opinion of the city fathers.
Britishism of the victory of 1918 having faded there was no opposition in the city council to the proposal that the whole lot be auctioned off.

The Editor of The Negro World:
When will the Negroes of America
be able to appreciate the worth and
value of THE NEGRO WORLD? To
any constructive thinker our journal
means as far over the other race pub-
lations as the sun does over a can-
lise. My reason for this appraisal is
based on the relative information con-
tained in the columns of our publica-
tion.
The comment from beginning to end in The Negro World is fundamentally personal or matters that affect us in general. There is more knowledge and instruction to the square inch in The Negro World than in any other race paper to the square mile. We should not consider one dollar ($1.00) per copy an obconitant price to pay for this instructive and inspiring newspaper. Students who read it for the inspiration alone cannot remain dormant or dormant in their activities; the response is automatic.
Like the rays of the sun reach millions of people. The Negro World reaches millions of readers. Europe, Asia, South and Central America, Africa and the islands of the sea have persons who are active in the promulgation and distribution of our celebrated journal. Yes, indeed, friends, THE NEGRO WORLD is the aristocrat of race publications, and is so related by those who know.

In all parts of the world we find the Negro hammed in on every side by the white race. No faces discrimination, aggression, and is practically hated those for whom he fought on the battleship of Europe. Just after the war we heard so much about self-

determination for small nations and people. We expected that the Negro was included among those people, but what do we find at present? Instead of self-determination, the Negroes are facing race extermination.
Fellow-men of the Negro race. I beseech you in the name of God. In the hope of a free and redeemed Africa, let us awake from our slumber and stand behind the Universal Negro Improvement Association as a mighty phalanx. Let us hold up the hands of our great leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey. Let us remember that he has kindled in our hearts the spirit of nationhood, the spirit of manliness, the spirit that enables us today to unite ourselves together with a fixed determination to demand our God-given lands and a place in the sun. Should we fail to observe the signs of times; should we fail to support the great movement and our imprisoned leader, who is suffering for our liberation, then in a few years hence this race of ours will be swept off the map by the strong hand of our oppressors.
Let us, therefore, as New Negroes,
rally to the support of the U. N. I. A.
Let us keep the red, the black and the
green flying, and by so doing we shall
hasten the day of the redemption of
Ethiopia, the land of our fathers.
WILLIAM F. CLARKE.
Cristobal, Canal Zone.
To the Editor of The Negro World:
I believe before the Honorable Marcus Garvey came upon the scene, intelligent men of both the white and black races used to wonder within themselves who would step out to save the Negro race. If we turn our eyes and look back down through the ages we will see where those who dared the arduous task of trying to save a race, or more broadly, to save humanity, have other been mottled to a cross, thrown into a Lion's den or a bury furnace, head chopped off upon a scaffold, called or thrown into prison. Yet, though these navy as we may call them have undergone such terrible suffering, and although we read daily of the cruel tortures they suffered, still there is always one ready to die the "wet death" so that suffering humanity might be saved. It is written, "He that booth his life for My sake shall find it." Today the statesmen of every nation are devoting every possible way and means by which they may be able to give their best to their own group. These members of the Negro race who are tracing events from day to day and seeing the unpreparedness of our race the world over and the unfortunate position in which we find ourselves know that any race or people which falls at this time to organize and protect its interest must either die the death of ignorance or starvation. Looking through our mind's eye we must come to the conclusion that someone must step out and save the Negro Race. But, fortunately, just as the thoughts of those who had began to wonder, there came upon the scene the saviour, Marcus Garvey. Just as it took a superior being than man to save humanity from eternal destruction so it takes the superior of the ordinary Negro to save the race from eternal, everlasting slavery. And that man is Marcus Garvey.

LONDON, July 6.—For Great Britain herself, for the nations that comprise the British Empire, the Imperial Conference to be convened here in October will be of far greater importance than any which has been held since 1987, when the Conference of Colonial Prime Ministers adopted a resolution declaring it was advisable that an imperial parley should be held every four years. The next meeting was convened in 1911, but owing to the war there was no reassembly until 1921, although the Dominion Prime Ministers attended various war conferences, and met at the Peace Conference in Paris in 1819.
Owing to special circumstances, the Imperial Conference was summoned again in 1922, so if the four year interval were observed in would not meet again until 1927. But the Imperial Government desires a meeting this year, largely because some general agreement is sought on the question of the Locarno treaty, which commits Great Britain, if not the Dominions, to war in certain contingencies. Of the Dominion statesmen who attended the 1923 "round table" only S. M. Bruce, Australian Prime Minister, still remains in the saddle. General Hertzog has supplanted General Smuts in South Africa. Mackenzie King has taken the place of Meghen in Canada. J. G. Coutze will be the New Zealand representative, instead of Mr. Mansey, who died last year.
The agenda will be essentially political, though certain economic issues will be of only slightly less significance.
World at Large Looks On
The world at large will be onlookers at this London conference, but much that will be done will be of very little interest to the nations unrepresented. For as Leopold Amery, Colonial Secretary, said when addressing the delegates at the conclusion of the British West Indies parley just held there, the great problem ahead of the empire is to bring about "effective unity of action toward the outside world, and practical and effective co-operation among ourselves."
This aim at greater unity will not develop anything, however, in the nature of "direct, legal legislative federation" at the forthcoming conference over which the Locarno treaty casts a heavy shadow. Under that treaty Britain has a frontier on the Continent. But it is not yet an empire frontier. Canada, the oldest Dominion, will play, as all statesmen recognize, a very important role in the imperial conference, reposes in her Parliament the right to take a decision for or against war. Australia, on the other hand, reposes in her government the taking of such a decision. The problem of unity calls for agreement among the dominions themselves as much as between the dominions and the imperial government in London.
the recently concluded West Indian conference was held largely because

of the desire of the mother country to bring into closer relationship with London the eight principal British possessions in that part of the world where special trade surveys in recent months have shown that the United States, because of its contiguity and the energy and alacrity of American business interests, has gone far to establish a trade regency, in this part of the British Empire.
Some imperialists here undoubtedly prefer to see a more closely welded empire, one responding to "direct legal legislative federation," but no responsible stateman in Britain believes for a moment that unity of action and purpose is to be achieved by any such methods. The loss that Whitehall dictates the more certain it is that the big problems facing the empire will be constructively and amicably resolved.
The view is very generally accepted that Canada's loyalty to the empire will not be in question so long as she feels she has the right: to interpret her relationship towards it. But General Hertzog, the South African Prime Minister, goes as far as to insist that the dominions are self-governing States bound to Great Britain only by the link of a common king.
Yankee Trade Drive Frota
Before the West Indian delegation had left London the British. Colonial Secretary could not deny himself the opportunity to do some spread-sagging. With American penetration of the West Indies so much in the minds of the delegates, with all the recent trade reports dwelling on the potential effects of the 'intensive Yankee trade drive' in these British possession, Amery took the occasion to give a reassuring and prophetic bird's-eye of the empire's future prospects. He said:
"Vast as the resources of America are, they shrink into insignificance compared with the inherited resources of the British Empire. I have no hesitation in saying that the time will come when America will look on the amazing development and prosperity of the empire in much the same way as we look upon American prosperity today."
How far the impending imperial conference will contribute to the consumption of the Colonial Secretary's prophetic vision remains a matter of conjecture.

Throne Crowd Scoopi
Witnessing Negro Pageant
auditorium at the Sesqui-Centennial was crowded by the attendance of over fifteen thousand spectators who witnessed "Loyalty's Gift" on Monday evening, July 12. It was a feature of not alone the Negro Activities, but proved to be the stellar exhibition thus far of any event ever held in the Auditorium. From the opening scene colorful and stately until Grimwell's wonderful band played the "Star-Spangled Banner" the audience was thrilled with the illumination, costume action and song presented. Mrs. Dora Cole Norman, directing the pageant and also playing the part of "Loyalty" in the exhibition, deserved the great applause extended as she made her first appearance and her final bow.
Marian Anderson, depleting achievement in song, held her hoarers enraptured. The wide range of voice, the varied types of phrasing and interpretation, the fullness of tone included the artistic rendition of her numbers. The cast, composed of unprofessional lovers of drama and song, made an impression in their choruses that will go down in the history of such events as the most wonderful rendition yet made. They like the crowd attending, broke all records. Mr. J. C. Asbury and his faithful and efficient staff deserve praise for

NEWS AND VIEWS OF U.N.I.A. DIVISION
For thought deliberations and meditation scripture lesson—Judas' betrayal of the Savior—was read. Mr. Hayes made preparatory remarks in which he pointed out that the evil—jacency—which possessed the people of Christ's day and caused his crucifixion, is prevalent in the race today. After the other opening rites were performed, President H. Hayes authorized the reading of the Hon. Marcos Garvey's address at the Royal Albert Hall, London, England. All stood, at Mr. W. Mewbenn's suggestion, to honor our president general while his epoch-making address was being read. At its conclusion all the liberty-lovers of Liberty Institution showed, by their responses and applause, signs of joy and happiness. Our president general's hymn was sung by all as if fire had been set to each individual's heart.
Communications were read from Commissioner Haynes and Hon. E. B. Knox.
Mrs. L. Bryant then took charge of the meeting. She stated that she was calling for volunteer speakers, among whom Mr. E. J. Wade was the first. His remarks were directed to all of us for our loyalty to the cause of Africa. Then came Treasurer M. C. Harries, in his usual spirit, saying that if we live in the constitution, Marcus Garvey will put the program over. Trustee Pope emphasized the "pure in heart." The fourth volunteer was Mr. Wm. Bella, who asked the question, "Is Our Heart Right?"
After the report of the receipts of the evening and several important announcements were made, "God Bless Our President" was sung. "One God, One Aim and One Destiny" was repeated. Then we were dismissed by the president.
Their love is great, their loyalty is sure, and every one of them would be a) emancipator if God wills—these Liberty-lovers of Liberty Hall.
Sunday Afternoon, July 8, 1928.—Dear members and readers, permit me to recount to you the most inspiring and most lively meeting that Division No. 75 has ever held. This greatest of all meetings took place at the Gideon Hall, Lincoln City. When the religious side of the meeting was performed, the beautiful opening ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains," was heartily sung. The other necessary rites were carried out, and Mater B. J. Wade, Jr., read the "Alms and Objects" of the organization. President Hubert R. Hayes presided.
When the feeding of Mr. Garvey's latest message was completed, President Hayes introduced Rev. Dillhunt who made a timely comment on the Hon. Marcus Garvey and his message "All Around the World" was sung. After making a few comments, Mrs. Hayes turned the meeting over to the Lady President. She made her opening remarks and extended the privilege of speaking to all, alike, after communications from Colonel N. W. Wright of Winston-Salem were read. Treasurer M. C. Harris was the first to speak. His subject was taken from the scripture, "Foxes Have Holes. Birds Have Nests, but the Son of Man Hath Not Where to Lay His Head." He stirred his audience deeply. Then "I Will Follow Garvey" was sung. Secretary Bryant, in his address, referred to Mr. Garvey as "atting locust." Then Mrs. Belle and Mrs. Solomon rendered a duet. Rev. Dillhunt told of his advocacy or Garveyism at a point in Wilson county—Friendship. Messrs. Shepherd, Belle and Smith rained upon the men a volley of heated remarks for the lack of development of the Legions. Music was rendered by Mrs. Belle.
"Mr. S. T. J. Moore took for his subject: "Hold Onto the Lifeline." He likened Marcus Garvey to the "Lifeline." After he had complimented the different speakers, the president said: "The white man has persecuted my race since time immemorial. Christ must have been a Negro, for the white man persecuted Him." Mr. Nebern lifted the collection while the audience rendered music. After the closing rites were performed we were dismissed by President Hayes.

Sunday afternoon, July 15, will long be remembered by those who have attended the monster mass meeting under the auspices of the East Brooklyn Chapter. No. 64, and the Brooklyn Division. No. 2, of the U. N. I. A. at Boyles A. M. E. Zlon Church, at which time Hon. E. B. Knox, personal representative of the Hon Marcus Garvey, was our principal speaker. The meeting was well attended, and every seat was occupied. In view of the many places of pleasure where one could go to spend an enjoyable evening the attendance was remarkable. These places of pleasure did not nullify the desire of the New Negro to hear the message from their great leader.
The spirit of enthusiasm ran high throughout the meeting, as could be seen on each face. On the platform were our distinguished guests and visitors; on the light, were our nicely-clad Black Nurses; while on the left were our admirable legions in their glittering uniforms. The program was as follows: Processional march, "Shine on Eternal Light," followed by prayer. The first speaker was Rev. Wm. R. Miller, a staunch member of the East Brooklyn chapter, and an advocate of the cause of Africa. His subject was "Is the Negro Race Inferior?" This address was eloquently delivered after he had made the welcome address. He ended in an appeal that we go forward, as our watchword. Next was our aims and objects, by Mr. I. Gibbons; violin solo by Mr. De Cateau; recitation by Master Dalrymple, "Be the Best of Whatever You Are": tenor solo by Mr. Alken; piano solo, Miss Boyd; recitation by Miss Parker entitled, "Black Woman," composed by the Hon. Marcus Garvey while in prison. Next to be introduced by the chairman, Mr. B. Bourne, was Mr. Fixley Thorpe. President of the Brooklyn division, who spoke briefly. Solo by Miss Ethel Collins, First Lady Vice-President of New York local; rong. "O. Africa Awaken," by the audience; vocal solo by Miss Boyce; vocal solo by Miss Irene Miller; presentation of Mr. Milton E. Kelly. President of the East Brooklyn Chapter, No. 64, who in turn presented the principal speaker in the person of the Hon. E. B. Knox.
Mr. Knox was presented and introduced. On rising he brought greetings from the Hon Marcus Garvey and the London Division. He then continued to show in detail the good work that is being done by the Hon. Marcus Garvey. In conclusion, he informed his hearers that "Africa for the Africans" is no idle dream. He received much applause. An enjoyable evening was brought to a close by singing of the Ethiopian National Anthem. The East Brooklyn Chapter hope to have the Hon. H. B. Knox in Brooklyn to speak for us in our own Unia Hall. 669 Herkimer Street, in the very near future. Watch for the date.

Sunday, July 8, another of this division's great mass meetings was staged. In spite of the fact that the weather was threatening, our Liberty Hall was filled to its capacity. A procession was formed by the officers and Black Cross Nurses marching from the doorway to the rostrum with the inspiring air, "Shine On, Eternal Light." The opening ode was sung: Mrs. B. Cummings, acting lady president, was in the chair. The religious exercises were performed by Mr. C. R. A. Shepherd, acting chaplain. The front page of The Negro World was read by Mr. J. H. C. Clapham, executive secretary. The first verse of our anthem was sung. A beautiful program was offered by Mrs. B. Cummings, acting lady president, coupled with the installation of officers for the term. The well-known air, "God of the Right, Our Battles Fight," was sung. The installation ceremonies were performed by Mr. R. A. Jackson, ex-chapain, who called upon Mr. S. E. Johnson and Mrs. Graham as ex-officers, to stand by him. He gave the incoming officers a solemn warning of the oath they have taken, exhorting them to stand shoulder to shoulder as they have ever stood, pressing on to the goal that is before them. The names of officers are as follows: Mr. J. H. C. Clapham, executive secretary; J. H. Archer, general secretary; D. Buckley, treasurer; C. E. A. Shepherd, chaplain; H. Smith, chairman of trustee board; D. T. Lamy, secretary of trustee board; E. Herbert, trustee; Mrs. B. Cummings, lady president; Mrs. A. Campbell, first lady vice-president; Mrs. R. Irons, second lady vice-president; Miss H. H. Landsdowne, third lady vice-president.
The remaining part of the program was conducted by Mrs. R. Irons, second lady vice-president, while Mrs. E. Cummings, the lady president, presided at the organ. The program was as follows: Anthem by the choir: "Shoulder to Shoulder;" address by Mr. C. E. A. Shepherd; duet by Miss H. Cummings and Miss Kathleen; address by Mr. R. A. Jackson; solo by Miss Domsel; address by Mr. S. E. Johnson; trio by Miss H. Cummings; C. E. Shepherd and Mr. A. Williams; solo by Mr. J. A. Clarke, accompanied by choir with chorus; address by Mr. E. Herbert; closing address by the lady president. Mrs. R. Cummings. Among our visitors was Mr. E. Reid, who always gives us some fine talk about our race. A hearty welcome was extended to Mr. S. E. Johnson, an ex-officer who has returned from Havana. He promised to double up with us again in making our San German Division second to none.
Much praise is due to the lady president, Mrs. Cummings, and her assistants for their strenuous work in this division. J. H. ARCHER, Reporter.

Functionary Step of King Fuad Ends Self-Government

Office Feigns Surprise at Royal Decree—Precedent in
Annals of British Imperialism
CAIRO, July 19.—Both Houses of Parliament are suspended for three years, or longer if deemed necessary, by a royal decree published this evening. The King, with his Ministers, is invested with full legislative authority. The press immunity from ordinary administrative action is likewise suspended indefinitely. The decree is signed by the King and all his Ministers.
The Wafd campaign in the Delta is prohibited, and extensive police and military measures are being taken for the maintenance of security and order

The suspension of parliamentary
The Premier's letter to the King has also been published. In it the Sovereign is begged to take the measures mentioned in the interests of the establishment of a stable government and to save the country from despotism of the corrupt faction which has succeeded in dominating the majority and in causing chaos throughout the country.
LONDON. July 19.—Behind King Fund's decree lies the momentous admission that the limited self-government granted by the British to Egypt has failed. It has been wrecked, in view of observers here, on the rock of the political extremism of the Wafd together with the inefficiency and corruption existing in the Government. Town now on Egypt will in reality be governed from London. Her King, placed on the throne by Britain, will take orders from the British High Commissioner. There will be no legal political opposition to trouble him, for temporarily, at least, the Wafd as a Parliamentary force is wiped out of existence, together with electoral self-government.
The position of the Walf, or Nationalist Party, and the British adviser in Egypt, has grown steadily more trustworthable. The resignation of the Walf Ministry last Spring over the creation of the Egyptian police was the first sign that the Constitution was nearing an end.
The Walf attitude is wholly at variance with the provisions of the Constitution granted by the British. Surely, that a British General shall command the Egyptian Police; that a british Army should be maintained on Egyptian soil and that British control the Suez Canal should remain ab.
The Walf has never acknowledgibility of these provisions, even it and the Briti-

Egyptians means the waste and corruption of public money.
The suspension of parliamentary government may mean that a "business" regime has taken the reins in Egypt, although in view of the records of past Egyptian governments this seems doubtful. Disquieting effects have been produced here by that part of the royal decree abolishing the freedom of the press and by the increased concentration of troops in the chief towns of the Delta and Upper Middle Egypt "The business government obviously means business," says the London Times, commenting on the situation. "Such measures do not inspire British confidence in the future."
There is some talk of the royal decree being a "surprise" to the British Foreign Office. Whether it was or not, the collapse of the Constitution was no surprise to observers of Egyptian internal affairs. The British Government attitude is that, so long as King Fuad's newest government respects the provisions of the British Declaration of 1922, there will be no interference by Great Britain in Egypt's internal affairs. Nevertheless, the present situation marks a definite backward step in the checkered history of British relations with Egypt. For the first time in the history of the British Empire, self-government has been offered, tried and withdrawn. For three years at least Egypt reverts to the status of a virtual protectorate. After that time Great Britain would be happy to see constitutional government tried again.
Census Shows Decrease In Younger Generation
The younger generation is on the decline numerically, according to a study of age groupings based upon Federal census statistics which Dr. Ira B.

Subway Builder Donates First of Much Needed Parks—City to Be Asked for More
NEW YORK, July 17—Samuel R. Rosoff, subway builder, presided yesterday at a colored children's party at the opening of a playground on 147th Street, between Seventh and Eighth Avenues, that he has given to the children of the district.
William B. Roulstone, advocate of more play space for children, in praising Mr. Rosoff for his gift, said that he was doing something that the city ought to be doing itself.
"It's something that the city has been asked to do for twenty-five years," he said. "We got this one, the only playground for colored children in the city, through the generosity of Mr. Rosoff. We are going to ask the mayor for land for more playgrounds. We really ought to have 500 of these, but we'll ask for five, and maybe we'll get two."
Albert Goldman, Commissioner of the Department of Plant and Structures, said that the mayor, in carrying out the idea of more playgrounds, is co-operating with the playground societies and the groups associated with Mr. Roulstone.
He said that after the approval by the Board of Estimate and the Sinking Fund Commission, which he expects to see granted in the fall, another playground for the Negro children of the same district will soon be available. The plan to which he referred calls for filling in the Harlem River front to the bulkhead line from 155th Street to 143d Street. Three or four blocks of this land south from 155th Street would be made into a playground.
The playground measures 50 by 200 feet and was leased, according to Mr. Rosoff, for a dollar a year to the Board of Education by the Outdoor Stairway Building Corporation. Mr. Rosoff furnished equipment and is said to be meeting other expenses in connection with the upkeep. He says it is only the first of several which he and those associated with him are going to open for the children of the city.
Mins Louise E. Tucker, principal of P. E. 90, for the use of whose pupils the park is largely intended, said that the New York Community Councils are also contributing to the upkeep and financing.

When you ask some of the colored to register and vote, they want to know what are they (the candidates) putting out? It seems that he fails to realize that too much has been put out for his good. He should be interested as to what will be put in —The United World.
The greatest failure in the Negro race up to today is the Negro politician. That the Negro was shoved to the rear in Kansas City is no surprise. It was the thing to be expected. Furthermore, if the present breed of Negro politicians still holds away it is to be expected that the Negro will be entirely eliminated in eight years —Christian Recorder.
More and more the migratory movement of Negroes from the south to northern centers is showing a telling effect in the way of increased political power of Negro voters in these centers. It is in the middle west where this new political power can be used with great benefit — Cleveland Call and Post.
As the campaign develops, and the fight gets hot, the Negro vote will count. Much as the party man tries to see a walkaway for his candidate, the campaign of 1928 is going to be close. The small vote which Negroes in northern states will cast can easily be the deciding factor. We shall be worse than fools if we do not make our support the fair exchange for a man's chance, and a citizen's right. — Kansas City Cell.
Much depends upon the ability of their supporters to get votes for them. Hoover, of course, will have the support of the stronger party—and the party that's in. But it must be remembered that Smith is a real vote-getter. We are going to have a real contest—one that will be watched as no other contest has been watched in recent years. We look for a battle royal—Tampa Bulletin.
We are again facing the same situation that confronted us in the election of Abraham Lincoln, and the same issues are before the voters of this great country, and if Al Smith, nominee of the Democratic party, is elected to the office of Chief Executive of this nation, it will be upon the votes cast by a majority of the American voters, who will by a casting of such ballots declare themselves in favor of states' rights—Pacific Defender.

The Negro merchant has put too much faith in the appeal to group pride. Ten years ago our National Business League usurped much of its time in listening to speeches where the so-called "race pride" crusade was preached. Today the league is facing the issue squarely. Instead of sentiment and bombast it is marshalling scientific data. And unless some form of co-operative methods are quickly undertaken, Negro business will remain a one-man affair with a cubby-hole stock and a handful of eleventh hour, doubtful customers.—St. Louis American.
The greatest harm a man can do you is to make you hate him; for in trying to harm him, you harm yourself more. No man was ever broken by treachery, by ingratitude, by dishonesty. Only by bitterness that they sowed in their own heart. Within yourself lies the answer to your success of failure. Nothing can hurt you that you do not take into your heart and nurse, and nothing can help you that you do not take unto yourself and make a part of you.—Portland Advocate.
Certainly the strength and endurance of a civilization must be measured by its mass sense of justice rather than its promulgation of fine principles, by the protection it offers to the weak rather than by the exploitation of the strong—Birmingham Reporter.
The "Negro" is not the only citizen in the South disfranchised. There are thousands of white Republicans down there that are disfranchised just as much as the so-called "Negro." Just why Afro-American speakers and writers insist upon ignoring this fact and falling to call the attention of the general public, here in the North, to this fact, we have never been able to understand. When whites do it, the reason is obvious.—Cleveland Gazette.
The political mountebank has taken advantage of our faith, our lack of information, of our failure to read and keep abreast of the political times to keep us wedded to the kite tail of the Republican party, while he himself was seeking personal glory and pecuniary gain and making laughing stocks of a race that is so trusting as to let a demogogue carry its entire vote around in his vest pocket. — Jacksonville, Florida, Sentinel.

Brings Complete Skeleton Of Ancient Man to U. S.
CHICAGO, July 21.—Paul Nesbitt twenty-four years old, a graduate student of the University of Chicago, returned to Chicago this afternoon, with the first complete skeleton of ancient man ever found in North Africa. Nesbitt has been in North Africa as head of the Logan-Beloit expedition, with Dr. George L. Collie, director of the Logan Museum. The expedition was financed by Dr. Frank G. Logan, of Chicago, vice-president of the Art Institute.
The skeleton, found in strata dated about 30,000 years ago, will be studied by Professor Alfred S. Romer and Professor Fay-Cooper Cole, of the University of Chicago, and is expected to be of great scientific importance in determining questions relating to the origin of man.
Anthropologists formerly believed that the upper old stone-age man was of one type—the Cro-Magnon—but the Logan expedition discoveries, which are not of that type, indicate that the late stone-age man was of several different types.
In Tebessa, sixty miles north of Tunisia, the expedition located the largest "escarogottiere" known in North Africa. This is a mound 400 feet long and 300 feet wide, varying in depth from five to twelve feet, built up entirely of the

shells of snails on which the ancient race lived. The expedition found the complete skeleton five and a half feet below the surface. Fireplaces with burned human bones indicated that the race was one of cannibals.
Child's Love of Clothes Significant. Expert Says
DES MOINES, July 21. The average child's interest in dressing up and then imitating the character that the clothes suggest gives parents a clue to the influence of clothing on children, but that clue is usually overlooked, according to Maude Featherston of Iowa State College.
A child whose own clothes are elaborate is likely to become affected, Miss Featherston said, speaking before the American Home Economics Association meeting here. If a child is dressed peculiarly, so that he or she feels different from the others, self-consciousness is likely to result.
Children's clothes are more simple and sensible just now because adult fashions happen to be simple, she pointed out, but at last scientific interest is being taken in designing children's garments for greater comfort and freedom.
Clothes for children should be designed so that they can dress themselves as soon as they are capable of dealing with fastenings. Miss Featherston said. The child's feeling of success in mastering the problems of shoes and armholes is carried over to give him self-confidence in other experiences.
