TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES White Newspaper Says Imprisonment of Garvey Has Left Unhappy Impress on Vaunted White Civilization The ways of certain Negro newspapers are strange indeed. Theirs is a positive genius for blazoning forth the foibles and weaknesses of the unfortunate and vicious of the race, and they are on their best when seeking to be little and misrepresent the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the greatest Negro organization in the world, and hurling shafts of venom at its distinguished founder and leader, Marcus Garvey. The great leader's imprisonment served but to intensify the jealous outpourings of his subsidized enemies, since the object of their shameful attacks was not in a position to reply. Two race-conscious (sic) newspapers made a determined bid for increased circulation by headlining Garvey every week, by hook or by crook, on the front page, calling upon their imagination to describe "lowly tasks" to which he was assigned at Atlanta penitentiary. One even went so far as to gloat in cartoon over the imprisonment of Marcus Garvey—a vile journalistic insult to the Negro race which every red-blooded man and woman will recall with shame. A nascent tabloid Negro weekly published regularly preposterous stories of Garvey, so that a public thirsty for news of its idol might buy. No oldwives' tale was too slanderous, no gossip too guttery to receive embellishment in print. But it is peculiar that, while jealous Negroes, of myopic vision, seek to defame Garvey and hold up his organization to ridicule, liberal-minded white thinkers of America and of the world are not only truly appraising the man and his movement, but are also taking up cudgels in his behalf. Sent to prison over eighteen months ago, Garvey still haunts the memory. They deprecated his imprisonment then, and said so. Today they would see him restored to his race, and they declare it. On Tuesday, August 17, the thirty-ninth anniversary of the birth of the great leader, the BUFFALO EVENING TIMES, a powerful white publication, carried the following editorial: GARVEY The case of Marcus Garvey, like Banquo's ghost, "will not down." This Negro leader made to his people, or rather to his race, an appeal to which the eloquence and faith of Frederick Douglass is alone comparable. Garvey's purpose was to lead them back to Africa, where as he said, they "belonged." They flocked to him in thousands and tens of thousands; and they freely and gladly financed his plans. These included a steamship, the first of "The Black Star Line." This vessel was to be navigated by white officers until such time as skilled Negro mariners could be developed or procured. With the profits of this ship and with such additional funds as could be raised, other ships were to be purchased and the migration of American Negroes to Africa begun. In his newspaper, the "Negro World," of October 18, 1924, he impressed upon his followers this advice: "Those who try to ridicule the idea that America is a white man's country are going to find themselves sadly disappointed one of these days, homeless, shelterless, and unprovided for. Some of us do harp on our constitutional rights, which sounds reasonable in the righteous interpretation thereof, but we are forgetting that righteousness is alien to the world and that sin and materialism now triumph, and for material glory and honor and selfishness man will slay his brother. And in the knowledge of this, is the Negro still so foolish as to believe that the majority of other races are going to be so unfair and unjust to themselves as to yield to weaker peoples that which they themselves desire." His popularity excited inevitable jealousy in black circles; and this coupled with white disapproval of his plans as chimerical, resulted in a drive on him through which he was indicted on some such charge as "using the mails to defraud." He found difficulty in securing competent white counsel, and at the last was compelled to act as his own attorney, though ignorant of the law. Owing to his striking personality and great ability as a speaker, crowds thronged to see and hear him. It was just a Negro "Dreamer" speaking for himself and his race. He was convicted, and sentenced to five years in the Atlanta penitentiary. So that, as it was thought, disposed of him. But it didn't, and it hasn't. When first arrested, he said, "There has never been a movement where the leader has not suffered for the cause, and has not received the ingratitude of the people. I, like the rest, am prepared for the consequence." When he entered the prison at Atlanta he sent this message to his followers, "All I have, I have given to you. I have answered my home and my loving wife for you. I entrust her to your charge to protect and defend in my absence. She is the bravest little woman I know." And he added—"If I die in Atlanta, look for me in the whirlwind or the storm, look for me all around you, for with God's grace I shall come and bring with me the countless millions of black slaves who have died in America and the West Indies and the millions in Africa, to aid you spiritually in the fight for liberty, freedom and life." Somehow or another "the putting away of Garvey" has left an unhappy and unsuccessful impression on our "civilization." There is a very prevalent thought that he has been made the victim of a trap statute. Whether this be true or not, the fact remains that his followers still believe in him and that in the eyes of distinguished publicists of the white persuasion, he continues to be a personality of profound consideration. Missial Brussels Proposal Threatens New Reign of Terror, Rivaling Congo Atrocities in the Time of the Profligate King Loopold RESERVES TO BE FORCED TO WORK FOR PRIVATE RAILROAD COMPANY Complete Tribes, It Is Feared, Will Be Wiped Out by Transportation Plan—Fine Reward for Negroes' Aid in World War The London Daily Chronicle of July 28 publishes an article by Mr. Brussels' Correspondent revealing an official scheme in Brussels to indenture or recruit, for two years, 9,000 natives from upper regions of the Congo Basin to work on railway construction in the less healthy lower districts. The correspondent says the "9.000" will mean, in practice, 25,000. It is declared that they will receive the pay of voluntary workers, and that all efforts will be made to avoid unnecessary sufferings and to keep the men as near as possible to their home tribes. The correspondent shows how far away this "near as possible" The correspondent shows how far away this "near as possible" may be. The area of the colony is one-fourth that of Europe. The article is as follows: BRUSSELS, July 28.—In view of the Congo atrocities in the years of the late King Leopold, and of the sinister reputation which Belgium then obtained, opinion here today is divided over the Belgian Colonial Council's scheme to transport 9,000 Negroes from their own districts to the Lower Congo, and compel them to work on the railway line now being widened from Leopoldville, near Stanley Pool, to Lusaka (about 200 miles). the workers as near as possible to their own tribes is camouflage pure and simple. Far From Name As a matter of fact, the districts which the long line crosses are lacking the necessary labor and the natives will have to be transported hundreds of miles away from their homes. It is not very difficult to forsee the atrocities to which the process of carrying off by force those unfortunate blacks will lead to. Everybody remembers the reign of atrocities that caused such an outrage a generation ago. It is suggested that, as for no longer, the workers will Despite protests raised in many quarters, it is expected that the proposal will be agreed to by the Belgian Government. The railway company, which is a private concern, states that it has experienced great difficulties in obtaining labor; and, in view of extensive work which must be undertaken at times, the company does no way out of difficulty, but to compel the Negroes to work on their railway. This great undertaking, which will require many months to accomplish, is still to be vital to the interests of the Colony. Further development of the huge territories is said to be impossible until a new line has been opened up. Figures and Facts By the Colonial Council's plan the Governor of the Congo would be empowered to raise a contingent of 2,000 Negroes to serve for 'not more than two years. This will mean compulsory conscription of labor, according to the will and needs of the Governor or his advisers. The nominal limit is 1,000 men; actually it will (1 am assured) mean more than 25,000 men. The Negroes would be paid a salary equal to that of voluntary workers. Details of the organization would be left to the Governor, but it has been suggested that "it would be advisable to keep the workers as near as possible to their own tribes." Everything possible (it is added) would be done to avoid unnecessary sufferings. The workers would be grouped under the authority of native chlothains. Moreover, a magistrate would be entrusted with the task of supervising the correct application of the whole scheme. A general report would be forwarded to the King once a year. This looks very promising; but the fact is that it is at best what used to be called "blackbirding" in Australia—the act or practice of importing blackbirds' (Melanerans, Papuans, or other natives from a distance) for service on plantations." I have it on the best authority that the vaguely-worded promise to keep SKDONY MEN GET THAT MANLY SHAPE Nothing Unusual for Underweight Men to Gain 10 Pounds in 20 Days With McCoy's What is the use of any man staying healthy as a beacon all his life, with belows in his pack and cheeks, especially every thin, rundown, anemic and women in America knows the Coy's God Loving Oil Can Tobacco and the revitalizing mass that makes flesh, increase and strength. Men in just a few short weeks, this conclusion of upbuilding will give to an underweight person well kept, mainly drove from yearning for. Men who were accordingly to gain 10 pounds in 20 days and most people would call coming soon. Men in need that McCoy's manly habits will follow that for underweight men and that for underweight women are concerned with re- vitalizing their flesh with re- vitalizing mass. the workers as near as possible to their own tribes is camouflage pure and simple. Far From Name As a matter of fact, the districts which the long line crosses are lacking the necessary labor and the natives will have to be transported hundreds of miles away from their homes. It is not very difficult to force the atrocious to which the practice of carrying off by force these unfortunate blacks will lead to. Everybody remembers the reign of atrocities that caused such an outrage a generation ago. It is suggested that, as far as possible, the workers will be allowed to take their wives with them; but again this "far as possible" is no vague. Who will see that it is carried out? This forced transportation of blocks will wipe out complete tribes. It is well known that the black cannot be transported to the Lower Congo with impunity. Experience has clearly shown that few of the blacks carried away from their tribes were able to stand the change of climate and the new life. Lesson of Paet Wrongs One is afraid to think of the miseries through which these unfortunate people will have to go when the Belgian agents arrive in the remotest places to take away by force the strongest of the tribes. The Stannard case in 1907, and the inquiries held about that time on the atrocities committed in the Congo showed what can be done in the wild and far-away districts where there is scarcely any possibility of justice. It is hoped, that earnest representations will be made at once in the right quarters, with a view to stopping the evil before it has gone too far. It is well known that the Negroes do not wish to work on the railway lines in the Congo, and the enforcement of the proposed decree would be the cause of great hardships amongst the native tribes. It is feared that it would be the signal (if not the pretext) for atrocities which in former years gave the Congo a sinister reputation. It can hardly be conceived that these proposals could be put into execution without bringing about excessive cruelty in the treatment of the blacks. Perhaps the matter could be referred at once to the League of Nations, whose influence has been so helpful towards the reduction of slavery in Africa, as well as its abolition in some parts of India. Such a proposal an is now being considered by the Beiglan Government should be enough to rouse again the soul of Belgium. And Belgium herself has an especially high calling as a member of the League of Nations, and as one whose own sufferings were not least in the events which called that League into being. Big English University For Mount of Olives JERUSALEM, Aug 17.—A $250,000 English university is to be built within the next two years on the slope of the Mount of Olives. The nucleus is the present English college in Jerusalem, also known as the Anglican Bishop's mission. The enlarged scope of the institution will be modeled after the American University at Beirut. The Merchant of Shurk, the anti-Zionist Arab newspaper, welcomes the proposed English university at Jerusalem, declaring that it will counteract the influence of the Mebrou university and will tend to revive Arab learning. Hen, P. L. Burrowa, Aest. Breedrfly-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, who has been confirmed to hod for the last two weeks suffering from a nervous breakdown, is steadily improving. The word "murat" is derived from the name of the words of the Abyssinian coral tree, which being very small and almost equal in size were used to width mold and moisture damage. NURSES RESCUE WOMEN WHEN WHITES FLEE Car Driven by White Women Plunges Down Embankment Avoiding White and Negro Workers From The Norfolk Journal and Guide COLUMBIA, R. C., Aug. 18.—After a young white woman, Miss Will Lou Gray, driving with her companion, Miss Agnes McMaster, had horically plunged her car down a 20-foot embankment to avoid hitting a group of eight men, four white and four colored, standing in the middle of the road between two parked cars, the four white men took to their heels while the four Negroes raced down the embankment to the women below plioned under the machine, extricated them and brought them here for medical treatment. Miss Gray, State supervisor of adult illiterates, and Miss McMaster, Columbia teacher, were returning from upper South Carolina, and when they approached a curve in the road near Broad river bridge at a moderate rate of speed they came upon a blocked road with the two automobiles and eight men. Miss Gray, being right on the party, rather than hit them swerved her machine to the left and down the embankment, about thirty feet. The occupants were pinned under the car. They called to the men on the road. The Negroes came to the house but the white men paid no attention to the cries of the women, who had risked their lives that they would not hit these same young men. The Negro got the car off and hurried the women to Columbia. Miss McMaster suffered a broken collar bone and a bruised shoulder, while Miss Gray got an ugly flesh wound in the back requiring several stitches to close. No one knows in which direction the white men went. In the excitement the names of the colored men were not secured. So Queries "The Nation" in Comment on Segregation of Negroes in U. S. Sports One hundred Negro tennis players fought for the Rhetta cup at St. Louis in the tenth annual Negro tennis tournament of the United States. Why should these tennis players be negated in a race tournament? Is national tennis a white man's burden? Why should not the best of the Negro players be entered in the national tournaments at Forest Hills? Many Northern colleges make a contribution to racial understanding by welcoming Negro players in football, baseball, and track; last year the University of Chicago had a Negro tennis player on its team. But in professional baseball, non-collegiate tennis, and in most other sports, Negroes are barred from competition with whites. The major leagues never admit even the most brilliant colored baseball player; the National Law Tennis Association is made up exclusively of white members. Even in juggism Dempsey has been able to use the color line to evade meeting his most powerful rival, who happens to be a Negro. The colored athletes have only one alternative, to develop sporting events of their own. There are already Negro baseball circuits throughout the country; near Westfield, N. J., the Negroes of New York have their own country club and golf course, and a new club is opening near Boston—The Nation. Scientist Credits Asia With Mava Civilization London. Aug. 22--The Maya civilization in America was derived from the Malay Archipelago and Alaa. Dr. G. Elliott Smith, professor of anatomy in the University of London, contends in a communication which "The Morning Post" will publish tomorrow. Dr. Smith regards this contention as proved by the discoveries of Dr. W. T. Gann in ancient Maya cities in Central America, reported exclusively in the Herald Tribune during the last few weeks. Declaring the question at issue is not merely the origin of pre-Columbian civilization in Amerien, but the attitude one should adopt toward the bigger problem of the development of civilization itself, Dr. Smith asks: "Is it at all credible that the ancient mariners, who for ten centuries strained thousands of miles of the Pacific Ocean with such thoroughness as not to miss even a microscopic speck like Easter Island, far out in Eastern Polynesia, or such distant islands in the north and south, respectively, as the Hawaii group and New Zealand, could by any conceivable possibility have missed the vast continent stretching almost from pole to pole, just beyond these islands?" Gandhi Ready to Teach Christianity in India LONDON, Aug. 18.—Mahatma Gandhi, leading Hindu opponent of British rule in India, has decided to become a teacher of Christianity, according to dispatches from Ahmedabad today. The founder of the policy of non-cooperation will read the New Testament every Saturday at the National College, which was started in opposition to the government educational institution. Gandhi's decision was made in response to a call from the students. He remains a Hindu, but he has been born an admirer of the Christian religion and finds in the Gharam on the Mount a justification for the policy of passive resistance to the British government. --- Hon.

PRICE LIBERIA MUST PAY FOR U.S. MILLIONS Whole of $5,000,000 Loan Not Available at Once—Black Republic to Be Virtually U. S. Colony Until Loan is Repaid (From the Afro-American) BALTIMORE. Md. Terms of the $5,000,000 Liberian loan authorized by the recent legislature became known here this week upon the arrival of copies of the Liberian congressional record at the offices of the consulate general. By the terms of the agreement the Finance Corporation of America agrees to lend the Liberian Republic $5,000,000. Two million dollars of this amount is to be available in 1926, $600,000 in 1927 and the balance to be available whenever the Liberian government deems it advisable to sell bonds. The agreement stipulates that the finances of the republic shall be placed in the hands of a number of officers nominated by the lenders and confirmed by the Liberian president. They include a financial adviser at a salary of $10,000 a year, a supervisor of customs, a supervisor of internal revenue, a bonded auditor and an assistant bonded auditor whose salaries shall not exceed the aggregate sum of $18,000, not including medical care and attendance and travelling expenses while on official duties and additional traveling expenses from United States to Liberia. An further security the Liberian government agrees to maintain a frontier force and a patrol service by sea, strength of which shall be fixed by agreement between the president and financial adviser. Liberia also agrees to request the President of the United States to lend two United States army officers to Liberia, whose total salaries shall not exceed $8,000 a year. Liberia agrees to submit itself to the budget system, the proposed budget to be prepared by the financial adviser co-operating with the government. The government also agrees to report stenographically daily and to furnish typewritten copies of all proceedings of the Liberian legislature relating to financial matters, to the president, department heads, and the financial adviser. The government agrees that no other floating debt shall be created and no other loan authorized until Liberia has repaid the whole amount of the loan and all expenses incident into the service.

Organization Seeking to End a Rank Injustice—Who Could Be Contented With Burglars Ransacking His Home? We are being accused of trying to bring about a disarmament between the races by continually keeping the racial issue before the eyes of the world. A conscientious survey of our program would reveal the fact that we are seeking to end the racial issue and not to aggravate it. If one group of people with their own culture forebly took another group of people with their own culture from their country, and the difference of view-points clashed who should be blamed for the state of affairs? The U. N. I. A. did not bring slaves to this Western World, nor did the U. N. I. A. start any racial question. It needs no historian to know that the Negro was never satisfied from the time he was brought to the Western World as a slave against his will. The U. N. I. A. is working hard to get the disanticipated mass of Negroes, not in harmony with the culture of the white man, to go back to their God-given home—Africa, to live as their culture dictates. Aggression is always the result of a motive. The thief sees something he desires, and steals. The hungry man will always hustle past a prayer meeting to get his meal. Just as it is with individuals, so it is with races. How can black people be expected to sit supinely by, when the black man's country is being exploited by other races? How can black people be expected to be quiet and only pray to the powers that be, when the very powers encourage the sayings we often hear: "no crows must be in council"; "black this or black that"; "thus far and no further for Negroes"; "if a black man ever rules the country, I would quilt"; "black is a sign of the devil." We desire harmony but we cannot make up our minds that we are inferior, and will be aggressive to get an opportunity to prove our equality, here, elsewhere or in Africa. May Open Air Route By Way of Iceland COPENHAGEN. Aug. 16. — Professors Dangmeyer and Georgi, two German scientists, have returned from an exploration trip to Iceland on which they investigated the possibilities of an Air route from Hamburg to New York by way of Iceland and Greenland. They reported that such possibilities were good and estimated that the journey would take a day and a half to two days, starting from Copenhagen or Hamburg and stopping over night at Reykjavik, in Iceland. Investigation will be resumed before long with a larger expedition. Unorganized Negro Producers WARNINGTON, Aug. 29.—Our colored farmers represent the largest group of unorganized producers in America today.

Masked Mab Storms Jail, Maddies Sleeping Prisoner With Bullets, Then Ties Body to Motor Car and Drags It Nine Miles to Scene of Final Horrors LYNCMBURG, Va., Aug. 32—As a result of last Sunday morning's expedition of a group of fifty masked men who removed from the Wythe County Jail and lynched Raymond Bird, thirty-one-year-old Negro, charged with a criminal offense against two white girls living in western Wythe County, the old Southia "unwritten law" has become the object of denunciation at the hands of most of the newspapers of Virginia. The group of men went to the jail, a not too strongly built affair, held up the jailer at the point of guns, forced an entrance inside, and filled the Negro's head with lead as he crouched in the far corner of his cell. The body of the man was taken out of doors, tied to the rear end of an automobile by the neck, and dragged nine miles to the home of one of the victims, where it was strung up and made a target until it became almost unrecognizable. A Special Grand Jury will be emanated this week to investigate the lynching, according to despatches from Wytheville, where the jail is located. There has been a flood of attacks from the press on what one paper called "Virginia's shame." The Richmond Times Dispatch declared "it is a sorry and horrifying recital" after summarizing the occurrence and calls for swift punishment of the guilty. The Ronnoke World News, published in a district within the neighborhood of Wytheville, is another which calls for punishment of the perpetrators of the lynching and calls attention to the fact that in other instances those charged with the safekeeping of their prisoners have fulfilled their obligations to the State. The editorial concludes: "Responsible mobs must not be allowed to think they can enter a Virginia jail and see Virginia laws at naught with impunity. If they erratically suppose they can do so and 'get away with it' they must be taught otherwise in a stern and impressive fashion." The Reasonable Times recalls that lynchings in Virginia have been few, but states, with the Lynchburg News, that it is not enough to point to that fact, and that "the reign of the lynch law must be stamped out entirely if the Commonwealth is to take its rightful place among those States where the law is supreme and life and property are safe." Lynchings in Virginia can be prevented, declares the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot, which vigorously calls for action in the present case. The mob was masked, it says, but holds that "it is inconceivable that so large a number of persons could engage in a criminal African National Congress Annual Convention Is Swayed by Moderates From the Worker (South Africa) From June 23 to 26 the annual convention of the African National Congress was held at Bloemfontein. Over 200 delegates attended, representing the Cape, Transvaal, Free State, Transkel, Basutoland, and Bechuanaland. The most important item of the proceedings was the discussion on Hertzog's four native bills, and it was precisely on this matter that the congress showed its complete inability to give a real fighting lead against the home imperialists. At times the discussion became very heated, but the proposal to put up a fight for the complete rejection of the bills, which one or two of those present advocated, was cleverly sidetracked. The discussion ultimately wound up with a committee being set up to go into a study of the bills and being forward recommendations to the next annual convention to be held next year. Great dissatisfaction was expressed at the Colour Bar Act, but here again the only result of the deliberation was a decision to approach the Governor-General in relation to this matter—after his ascent had already been given to the Act. The convention recorded its alarm at the proposal to eliminate the Union Jack from the national flag of South Africa. Taken all round it would seem fairly clear that not only was the convention dominated by the very moderate type of native leader, but also by those native elements who have come more or less under the influence of the South African Party. The African National Congress will merely remain a name, and not a very prominent one at that, so long as it indicates so concern itself with the main light of the appended South African nations, namely, the fight against capitalist exploitation. LEONARD, Aug. 28.—Missouriites to combat "the population of Europe" are an explicitly needed as far converting the blight. Styphard G. P. Byron, General Treasurer of the Wesleyan Ministry Society, at a church conference in York. "The population of Western Europe is worse than anything in Africa, and the anti-Christian feeling in Eastern Europe is the worst in the world," he claimed. enterprise without leaving some traces by which at least a few of them might be identified." Alloged Attack Several Months Old Raymond Bird, 21, held in White county jail at Wytheville on a charge of having committed assault on a 19-year-old white girl, daughter of a Wythe county farmer, was shot nine times through the head while he lay sprawled out asleep on his cot in the jail by members of a mob of fifty masked men, who stormed the battle after procuring the keys from the jail at the point of guns. Bird's head was then beaten to a pulp and his body tied to the rear of an automobile, dragged twelve miles to the farm of the father of his alleged victim, where it was swung to a tree limb and riddled with bullets. The alleged attack for which Bird was lynched was said to have occurred several months ago, but was not made known by the young woman until recently. It is claimed that she was terrorized into silence. Bird had worked for her father for five years. J. C. Richardson, the jailer, stated that he was awakened by the mob and roughly handled. The keys were secured from him at the point of guns, he said. As there is no strong outer door to the jail the entry of the mob was without difficulty. Through it all Bird slept soundly in his cell, it is said, never awakening. Other prisoners were awakened and cried out, but the jail is isolated and no one heard, it is declared. The jailer says he was unable to identify a single participant in the lynching. If you are SICK with RHEUMATISM, SCIATICA, LUMBAGO, LAME BACK, GOUT.

Dr. and Mrs. PUBLICITY MARCUS GARVEY GAVE RACE WORTH A BILLION SPEAKERS FROM FAR AND NEAR TESTIFY AT MASS MEETING TO GROWING POWER OF U.N.I.A. Countess Galli, Citing Henry Ford's Peace Ship Advertising Trip, Says Helpful Publicity Race Received at Hands of Marcus Garvey Is Worth One Billion Dollars Tells Members Not to Make Mistake of Thinking That They Have Done Enough Financially—"Get in and Continue to Give and Put the Program Over" NEW YORK CITY, Sunday Night, August 22.—Seldom has a more lively and inspiring mass meeting been held under the auspices of the New York Division than that which was staged tonight at the Commonwealth Casino. There was a galaxy of speakers who all had a message to deliver, varied in theme and full of sage advice. In the absence of the Rt. Hon. Fred A. Toote, acting President-General, who, with other executive officers, was on tour in various parts of the country, Sir F. Levi. Lord, chancellor, occupied the chair. He was supported on the platform by several out-of-town visitors, among whom were Countess Galli, of Mexico City; Mr. A. Aiken, of Boston; Mr. Victor Westmoreland, of Miami, Fla., and Mr. James Harris, of White Plains, N. Y. Also on the platform were Mrs. Irene Blackstone, who has the distinction of being the first Lady President of the New York organization at the birth of the movement in 1918; Mr. Samuel Eugene Schel, a noted young tenor of Philadelphia who is fast climbing the ladder of fame; Mr. R. Hastings, Mr. Fred Johnson, of Detroit, and Mr. Thomas Brookes, Commissioner of Virginia. Mr. Schel received a great ovation for two vocal offerings rendered to his own accompaniment. In a brief address he affirmed his faith in Garveyism and announced his first number would be a parody on "No Rose in All the World," dedicated to the Hon. Marcus Garvey. His rendition was exquisite, his well-trained voice losing none of its engaging sweetness in the upper register. Encored, he gave a soulful interpretation of the Negro spiritual, "Let My People Go." Countess Galli, who, with Mr. Westmoreland, attended the meeting as the guest of Mrs. Blackstone, made a brief but pointed address. After paying a graceful tribute to the Hon. Marcus Garvey she declared that the publicity—an all-important thing—which the great leader had given to the race was worth a billion dollars, and it was idle for Negroes to harp on the money that had already been contributed to the organization or to be discouraged. "Get in and give," was her advice, "and put your program over." RT. HON. FRED A. TOOTE, Acting President-General, U. N. I. A. Just returned from the Mid-West, where he visited many Divisions. Will tell of the success of the Local Conventions held and the progress of the work in Pittsburgh, Detroit, Chicago, Cincinnati and other places. The first speaker of the evening was Mr. James Harris, whose subject was "Negro History." He was followed by Mr. Hastings on the subject of the achievements of the Hon. Marcus Garvey and the U. N. I. A. MR. A. AIKEN'S ADDRESS Mr. A. Alkens, ex-president of the Boston Division, said: "This is the first time I have ever had the pleasure and privilege of speaking from the platform of the New York Local. Though I have attended meetings here for the past seven years, I have never made myself conspicuous. I believe in actual work. That has been my policy during my seven years' connection with the Universal Negro Improvement Association. And so I was surprised when your chairman called upon me to say something, because I "It is the greatest thing that has am not a public speaker, but a worker in the cause of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. God's Greatest Gift "I believe in putting over the major part of this program. There are many of us who are orators and believe in the silver tongue. Though it takes oratory to bring the people into one solid unit, it takes unity and hard work to put the program over. I have identified myself with this great org nization for seven years and I shall identify with it for the rest of my life, not because I want anything out of the organization, for my services have always been gratis, but because it is the greatest thing that God has ever given to the Negro from the coming of this race of ours. (Applause.) THE NIGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 20, 1998 ever been upon God's green earth for Negroes. So let us stick to the doctrine of the Universal Negro Improvement Association; let us stick to Marcus Garvey, our leader. Remember, there is no other leader but Marcus Garvey. (Applause.) Remember, that Garvey is the mouth-piece, the doctor and the supreme ruler of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. (Applause). Whether in the penitentiary, New York City, Boston, Philadelphia or anywhere else, Garvey is our leader; he is the man we like to lead us and to carry us on to our victorious end. (Applause). Work as Never Before "Let us work, friends, as we have never worked before. I may tell you that I felt good yesterday morning when I arrived in New York and want to visit a friend and he said: 'I wish you were here last Sunday. We had one of the most beautiful parades I have ever seen. Not even our old international conventions could eclipse that grand procession I saw last Sunday.' I said I was sorry I could not make it. But, my friends, I want to tell you I am proud of the New York Local for the stand they have taken. I want to congratulate you, for I feel the spirit of Garveylam is well represented in each and every one of you here. And it is a fine thing you have done—to make such a demonstration in New York City. The white race in New York is watching this movement very closely. And, say what you will, your conduct and sincerity will prove to them that Garvey is the leader of the Negro peoples of the world and that his continued imprisonment is out of joint. "If you stick to your organization and support the Parent Body and prove to the white world at large that whatever may happen you recognize none other than Marcus Garvey, Garvey will be with you in a short space of time. I am asking you to go to your home, get on your knees in sincere prayer and ask God to release that great man, the greatest man that ever lived, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, so that he may come back to us and give us that old-time enthusiasm and kindle our souls with new life to go forward and put over the program he has brought to us." (Applause). MR. WESTMORELAND'S ADDRESS Mr. Victor Westmoreland, a representative of the Wesleyan Methodist Churches of Florida, was next introduced by the chairman. He said: "I am indeed thankful for the opportunity granted me to represent the Wesleyan Methodist Churches of the State of Florida, a Negro body of churches that has been made independent through the realization of our ability gained from the flery teachings of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, who has indeed lifted the veil of darkness from the eyes of every Negro, teaching him that he should know himself. (Applause)." "Although I come before you tonight, not with any great titles, but merely as the district secretary for these churches, I feel that I should not be doing justice, being a Negro, if I did not show some gratitude or appreciation for the privilege I enjoy to speak on this enlightened occasion. After comparing the coming of Marcus Garvey with the morning sun that brings an end to the night, the speaker continued: "As I sat and listened to the various speakers and as I looked around upon this dense audience, an audience as intelligent and influential as ever was assembled within the limits of Harlem, I seemed to see the grim determination and the vast enthusiasm that pushes you forward, and my brain tingled and I was at a loss where I should take my text. Creator and made of expressive gods and monarchs, executing judgment on our own when we are not in a position to save our own souls. "The smoothness of flattery cannot give us opportunity, neither can it give us Africa. (Applause). We must support this cause numerically and financially so that we may destroy the forces that seem to impede the progress of this great organisation. It is for those of us who are in a position of responsibility to keep cool and sober and push forward the glorious work. "I conclude, I wish to say I wish this organisation well. I, too, am a member of the Miami Division, and as I have said before, the Wesleyan Methodist Churches of the State of Florida, which have grown to independence, received their inspiration from the inspiring teachings of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. (Applause.) For I will say, and say it without fear, the world of Negroes knew nothing of making themselves independent in the real sense until this organization was launched. "I want to say that the night is past, the dawn is here and we shall soon triumph over the traitors and enemies that try to persecute this organization, and in the not distant future we shall be singing the glad song: Ethiopia, thou land of our fathers. Thou land where the gods love to be. As storm-cloud at night sudden gatherers For us will the victory be glorious, When led by the Red, Black and Green." (Applause.) MRS. BLACKSTONE'S ADDRESS Mrs. Irene Blackstone was the next speaker. After paying a compliment to Mr. Eugene Schei, who, the said, was deservedly called the black Caruso, Mrs. Blackstone proceeded: "There is no Negro on the face of the earth today, even though he has died for this country, who can get his just dues because he has served the American flag, and it was here that your honorable President-General first delivered the message. Every man who will do anything and bring something new into the world has to suffer before anybody is free, and because of that, whether through your chiccanery or through any particular person's chiccanery, that man has suffered because of you and me. "I say to you tonight honor and continue to revere and love him, for there is no greater man on the face of the earth than Marcus Garvey. (Applause.) And I mean what I say. There is one thing we have to learn and that is to understand one another. The world is in an uproar today because men do not understand one another. And the sooner we practice forbearance and cloth ourselves in the spirit that will listen and be patient with a view to a complete understanding, the better off we will be. If the Universal Negro Improvement Association was born only for a single object it was to get you and me together, to understand each other. As men and women we must get God enough in our souls to mean what we say and let the wind blow upon us and still mean what we say. In that way not only will your chleftain be able to depend upon you but others will respect you and have confidence in you." Be Proud of YOUR Hair! There is nothing which adds so much to your appearance as beautiful hair—And with thousands of men and women of our group, like Miss Anderson, making their hair so long, straight and silky through the use of the Improved Pluko Hair Dressing, there is no reason why everyone should not have this added charm. Miss Hazel Anderson says: "I just couldn't do a thing with my hair until I started using Improved Pluko Hair Dressing.

(From the New York World.) Taking a Sudden Interest in the Moro In a remarkably short space of time there has developed in a few places in this country a most remarkable solicitude for the welfare of the Moro inhabitants of the Philippines. Inspired writers accompanying Col. Carmi Thompson on his inspection tour of the islands are cabling that the Moro are America's best friends in the East, that they detect the very idea of independence and that they are entitled to our protection. Protection from what? From foreign rule? We are reminded that in 1895 Gen. John C. Bates negotiated a treaty with the Sultan of Jolo which obligated the United States to give full protection to the Moros "in case any foreign nation should attempt to impose upon them." And now, we are told, a foreign nation has imposed on them. This nation is none other than that represented by the present Philippine Government. And we are told that upon the United States rests the sacred obligation of executing its treaty agreement and protecting these 720,000 Mohammedan Moros from the 10,000,000 Christian Filipinos. The trouble seems to be that the Philippine Legislature has dealt with the Moros harshly. It has prohibited the bringing in of cheap labor from Asia. It has limited labor contracts to one year's duration so as to prevent peonage. It has subjected employers to the provisions of a workman's compensation act and it has imposed an almost prohibitive tax on persons engaged in recruiting and transporting labor. To save the Moros from such oppression a tremendous effort is to be made when Congress meets again to separate their islands (the southern half of the archipelago) form the rest of the Philippines and give them a different form of government. Of course, freedom for the Moros will mean freedom to admit as much coolie labor as any one cares to import, and presumably freedom to exploit this labor as its masters see fit. But of what use will this labor be in such a sparsely settled region? Well, the Moro sections of the Philippines are reported to be well suited for the growing of rubber, and the labor laws so far have kept the rubber companies from developing them. Yet no one should think for a moment that rubber has anything to do with this solicitude about the religious freedom of the Moros and the sanctity of treaty obligations. Oh, no; far from it! Wife Out, Husband In Share Office 14 Years JUNCTION CITY, Kan., Aug 13 (A. P.).The office of treasurer of Geary County is a partnership between Charles H. Gove and his wife, Helen Coryell Gove. Fourteen years ago Gove was elected county treasurer. He appointed his wife as his assistant when he took office. Forbidden by law to serve more than four years in succession, Gove persuaded his wife to run for county treasurer to succeed him. At the end of the second term he stepped aside to become Mrs. Gove's assistant. Mrs. Gove is the boss now, and she is a candidate for re-election.

London Had Many Reverses In Its Early Days London existed as a town before the Romans licked it into shape behind the great wall that still can be traced, if tradition may be accepted. The Thames was unconfined and spread sluggishly among the reeds; the tide came up, forcing it to form backwaters and inundating the wide tracts of marshes. A thousand years after the Romans left, the houses, thatched with reeds, still were overlooked by woods and thickets, inhabited by deer and wild boars and the swamps were alive with bittern and duck. All the time London was growing, but on no settled plan. The process of development was continually interrupted, yet after each check it went on again. Boadicea destroyed it; the Danes wiped it out; Alfred the Great rebuilt it and within a century it was burned to the ground. Thereafter, fire and pestilence swept over it at frequent intervals, says the Vancouver "Province," but it emerged stronger from every trial. London refused to be removed from the map, and its persistence was a visible expression of the determination of its people and a vindication of its position as a world mart. Stockings at $500 A Pair Not a Myth Stockings costing $500 a pair that cannot be worn more than once or twice are not a myth, and actually are sold in considerable quantities. This fact has been made known by George P. Peck, senior member of Peck & Peck, on the occasion of his signing a sixty-three-year lease, for a new store at the southeast corner of Sixty-ninth street and Madison avenue. "In our shops," Mr. Peck said, "we have women's stockings that range in price up to $500 a pair, with a number of models that sell for $250 and sell readily. Many prominent society and professional women invest for hand-made lace stockings of beautiful design, which, of course, cannot be worn more than once or twice, although the In the course of a day Britons have got a gilimpse of the laziest as well as one of the most industrious men in the country, says the London correspondent of the New York Sun. The laziest man, really a youth of 19, is, according to a statement made by his father before the Lambeth magistrate, so lazy that he will not shiver when he is cold. Only a few days previous in another court an irate father had complained of a son, slightly older, who remained in bed until noon every day, and his only reason for doing so was that he was "just tired out." The magistrate's advice in this instance was to "throw him out." The most industrious man to come to public attention is a bricklayer in the village of Styxnell, Sussex. He is employed by the Board of Guardians. Voluntarily he made a plea to be permitted to work forty-eight hours a week instead of forty-four. When the Guardians really understood that the plan was not a hoang several of them almost fainted, and one of them suggested that instead of laying bricks this particular bricklayer ought to be sent on a lecture tour through the mining and industrial centers of Britain. At any rate, they granted the longer hours request, believing such a spirit of enterprise should be encouraged without delay. lace remains a valuable asset. Many actresses, brides and other women of means do not hesitate about the cost. "I have been asked often if it is true that a majority of wealthy women wear their stockings only once. In many cases this is true. There is, for instance, the wife of a prominent Washington millionaire, who buys $1,000 worth of hosiery at a time, and she wears each pair only once, then gives them to her servants." Negro World T.

LET'S PUT IT OVER THERE IS NO VISION THE PEOPLE PERISH" Like the wise men of the earth seek to unravel the mysteries of life the more densely obscurated becomes the mystery. There is today an interminable controversy over what is with little of understanding, the wisest appearing when his conclusions are reduced to the test of fact. The reason is illusive because subject to some new discovery not reducible to fact has more of confusion than it. The wisest of us, and we live in very wise time when we consider the mystery of life and the unity of the mechanism which governs it all. In Proverbs (xxix., 18), tells us that "where the people perish; but he that keepeth the law, happy first, always, it is necessary to know what is law and And here is the rub which creates so much confusion of the wise men, who are forever leading mistakes that make for death—as in the causes of World War, say, and in the disposition of the aims to conquer and rule and rob those of Asia and of other races and colors than themselves. They is a man with a vision. He has confidence in inspires confidence in others by the same token. A person have been of like character through the ages be of like character. We are sure the reader. World read with interest and profit the critic Eric Garvey and his vision, reprinted in our issue from The Nation, by E. Franklin Frazier. After Dr. Booker T. Washington "could not be considered masses of Negroes, for his program commends white people and those Negroes who prided them opportunism." Mr. Frazier showed that others failed and no vision while Mr. Garvey succeeded, in the moment of facts: Other outstanding efforts among Negroes have failed in masses because they have lacked the character- have distinguished the Garvey movement. It is easy to mention such an organization as the National and its leadership to realize that so reasoned a social adjustment is lacking in everything that app-crowd. The leadership of Dr. DuBois has been able to satisfy the mob. Even his glorification of the men in terms which escape the black masses. The Congress which he has promoted, while supporting the boasted aims of Garvey, has failed to stir any number of American Negroes. The National Associe Advancement of Colored People, which has promisily for equality for the Negro, has never not locally and occasionally, the support of the Negro has lacked the dramatic element." The dramatic element lacking in these contemporary it was also in the National Afro-American League of them all, organized by T. Thomas Fortune, in dramatic element was the direct and insistent survey to the race, nationality and the self-interest people—the conservation of their social, civil and eco with the redemption of Africa from white rule and the building of an African State by the Negro for Africa. This is the dramatic element that has dis- harvey's leadership from that of others and which in the Negro people in all parts of the earth. He and he incorporated it in the Universal Negro Im- iation, and it has drawn the Negro people together and effort for self-preservation as they were never seen a memorable achievement and has given the consciousness and a purpose which he never dreamed to the members of the Universal Negro Improve- printed in The Negro World of last week, Mr. the Association: "It is the child of my dreams and therefore, it is my bounden and solemn duty at under all circumstances to be loyal and true to its imprisonment has in no way divorced me from its dimmed my vision of its glorious future." There is no vision, the people perish." "WHERE THERE IS NO VISION THE PEOPLE PERISH" THE more the wise men of the earth seek to unravel the mystery of life the more densely obscurated becomes the mystery. There is today an interminable controversy over all phases of life, with little of understanding, the wisest appearing as a little child when his conclusions are reduced to the test of facts. Every conclusion is illusive because subject to some new discovery, and the speculation not reducible to fact has more of confusion than illumination in it. The wisest of us, and we live in very wise times, grope in darkness when we consider the mystery of life and the infinite complexity of the mechanism which governs it all. King Solomon, in Proverbs (xxix. 18), tells us that "where there is no vision, the people perish; but he that keepeth the law, happy is he." But, first, always, it is necessary to know what is law and what is not. And here is the rub which creates so much confusion in the thinking of the wise men, who are forever leading mankind into mistakes that make for death—as in the causes that provoked the World War, say, and in the disposition of the Christian nations to conquer and rule and rob those of Asia and Africa, who are of other races and colors than themselves. Marcus Garvey is a man with a vision. He has confidence in himself and he inspires confidence in others by the same token. All leaders of men have been of like character through the ages and they will always be of like character. We are sure the readers of The Negro World read with interest and profit the critical analysis of Marcus Garvey and his vision, reprinted in our issue of last week from The Nation, by E. Franklin Frazier. After asserting that Dr. Booker T. Washington "could not be considered a leader of the masses of Negroes, for his program commended itself chiefly to white people and those Negroes who prided themselves on their opportunism." Mr. Frazier showed that others failed because they had no vision while Mr. Garvey succeeded, in the following statement of facts: "Certain other outstanding efforts among Negroes have failed to attract the masses because they have lacked the characteristics which have distinguished the Garvey movement. It is only necessary to mention such an organization as the National Urban League and its leadership to realize that so reasoned a program of social adjustment is lacking in everything that appeals to the crowd. The leadership of Dr. DuBois has been too intellectual to satisfy the mob. Even his glorification of the Negro has been in terms which escape the black masses. The Pan-African Congress which he has promoted, while supporting to some extent the boasted aims of Garvey, has failed to stir any considerable number of American Negroes. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which has fought uncompromisingly for equality for the Negro, has never secured, except locally and occasionally, the support of the masses. It has lacked the dramatic element." What was the dramatic element lacking in these contemporary organizations, as it was also in the National Afro-American League, the forerunner of them all, organized by T. Thomas Fortune, in 1890? The lacking dramatic element was the direct and insistent appeal of Mr. Garvey to the race, nationality and the self-interest of the Negro people—the conservation of their social, civil and economic values, with the redemption of Africa from white rule and exploitation and the building of an African State by the Negro for the Negro in Africa. This is the dramatic element that has distinguished Mr. Garvey's leadership from that of others and which has drawn to him the Negro people in all parts of the earth. He had the vision and he incorporated it in the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and it has drawn the Negro people together in their thought and effort for self-preservation as they were ever before. It has been a memorable achievement and has given the Negro a self-consciousness and a purpose which he never dreamed of before. In his last word to the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, printed in The Negro World of last week, Mr. Garvey says of the Association: "It is the child of my dreams and of my creation; therefore, it is my bounden and solemn duty at all times and under all circumstances to be loyal and true to its principles. My imprisonment has in no way divorced me from its sacred object nor dimmed my vision of its glorious future." Verily, "Where there is no vision, the people perish." UNIVERSITIES FOR THE AFRICAN AND THE ASIATIC was ever carried to a successful issue and persistent propaganda backed by intention and leadership. There can be no intorganization without systematic education the training of individuals capable of doing success. The educational systems of the have brought education within the reach, and the average intelligence everywhere in Christendom is more general today than ever before. Specialization in education has become necessary to meet the exacting requirements of modern industrialism: its trade and finance and professions and its basic employments. The ignorant person today, in the United States at least, has small excuse for his ignorance and has much trouble to fit in with the general scheme of making a living along the lines of least resistance. He has to take what he can get of the opportunities and the employments in the complex civilization of which he is a part. Education has always been one of the basic purposes of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and is now, and the purpose to develop a university on the James River, in Virginia, where suitable grounds and buildings have been acquired, is already in full swing. Negroes from all parts of the world are expected to take advantage of this university to learn what other universities teach and much that they do not teach, as to the responsibility of the Negro to himself first, with a proper understanding of himself and his values of whatever sort and his obligations to Africa as the home land of his ancestors. The possibilities of developing on the James River one of the great and necessary universities of the world has an irresistible appeal to the membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association as it will have to the Negro of all lands where he may be scattered among the Nations, as the Jews are. From time to time our African newspaper exchanges have had reference to a proposed university in South Africa for the natives which the English authorities will foster and develop, and we notice in a recent cablegram from Jerusalem that a $250,000 English university is to be built within the next two years on the slope of the Mount of Olives. The nucleus will be the present English College in Jerusalem. It will be remembered that the Zionists have already dedicated a Hebrew University on Mount Scopus, in Palestine, which is to have a $15,000,000 endowment, we understand, and which is to be developed into a universal school for Oriental learning and research. It is significant to note that the Meraatel Shurk, an anti-Zionist Arab newspaper, welcomes the English university as it will counteract the influence of the Hebrew University. There will be plenty of room in Palestine for both the Hebrew University and the English University; the Africans and Asiatics will profit by the operations of both; but we shall expect a broader and more liberal education of the African and Asiatic in his manhood and economic values in the Hebrew than in the English university. And, lastly, a new Mohammedan Institute has just been dedicated in Paris, and will serve the purposes of educating the African and Asiatic subjects of France, some 200,000 of whom, it is said, are now residing in France to be Frenchmen. The Institute will also serve as a center and home for those for whom it was built, and it has been four years in building, with a mosque, or church, for the True Believers who have Mohamet for Prophet and Allah for God. Any education is better than no education; but if a person is educated in American, English, French or Hebrew ways he will think in the language and the thought of the country in which he is educated and to which he may acknowledge allegiance. An African university for the Negro, such as will be built up by the Universal Negro Improvement Association on the James River, will teach the African to be an African and to think and labor for the African, and not for others not of his race and his aspiration after his individual values of whatever sort and wherever he may for the time be. ARE WE BECOMING SLAVES OF MACHINES? WE LIVE in a machine age, it is true, when we do most everything with the aid of machinery, and that for the most part in a specialized way, insofar, for example, that one man no longer makes the shoe, or the coat, or the house, or anything; he only does some part of the thing to be done. Asked to do the whole thing he could not, because he has not been taught to do it. He has been taught to do only a part. The art of handwriting is fast going out of use because the typewriter does the work more rapidly and perfectly, and the stenographer in a large way as well as in a small way does the work which the person used to do himself with a pen, and the stenographer does not transcribe the dictation with a pen, but on a typewriter, so that penmanship, except for signatures, is rapidly becoming negligible. Instrumental music is going out of fashion, because it is easier to listen in on the phonograph, the radio, and the like, than to master by long study and practice the arts of reading music and manipulation of the piano or other instruments. Great authors, musicians and orators no longer need to subject themselves to the physical drudgery of writing their subjects; all they have to do is to talk into a machine, or to a stenographer and they have it. Even the farmers are sowing and reaping their harvests by machinery, and incubators rob the hen of the toil and patience of setting and hatching her chicks. It must be a great relief to her henship. In the large cities people are losing the ability to walk any distance because they use the cars and busses and taxi cabs so much, and it is getting so that many people take a taxi to travel a few blocks. After a while people will lose the ability to walk except for a short distance because of disuse of walking. The list of machine invasion of the thought and effort of people could be extended indefinitely, all going to show that people are losing the old way of thinking and doing things and are depending more and more upon machines to think and do for them. No wonder Dean Inge, the crabbed but straight-thinking Englishman, asks: "Can we look with satisfaction at the completed product of civilization—a creature unable to masticate, to write, or to walk, a mere parasite on the machines that enable him to live?" And Glenn Frank answers: "Here is the riddle of our generation.—How can we protect men without pampering them?" Yes; how? HEALTH TOPICS By DR. M. ALICE ASSERSON of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association The Proper Care of Cuts Serious infection from minor cuts occurs quite frequently, causing the patient a great deal of suffering as well as considerable expense and annoyance. Infection of any kind is serious, too. Much of the infection from cuts and eruptions on the skin can be avoided. It means, first, recognizing that these conditions should receive care, and then giving them proper attention. Whenever you, or any member of your family, cut your finger, put lodine on the cut immediately. This will destroy any germs of infection that might have entered the cut. Then wrap a clean, sterilized gauze bandage around the part that has been cut. Do these two things immediately, before any outside dirt or matter which might bear germs of infection has had time to enter the wound. Never wash the opening with water, even though it seems to be clean, because sometimes supposedly pure water will contain germs of infection. Teach your children to realise that cuts should be given this care, that they may prove serious and should not be wrapped with soiled handkerchiefs or material that is not absolutely clean and if possible germ free. "Allah Is Merciful" When Wine Enters PARIS, Aug. 14—All faithful Neons must be testators. The Koran forbids the use of even light wines and beer. During the recent visit of Mukhit Yunsef, Sultan of Meroe, to Paris a Parisian society woman was surprised when she saw one of the Sultan's most trusted Caled, beside whom she sat, imbibing champagne. "Don't your religion forbid you to drink wine?" she asked. "Allah is great," replied the Caled. Then, as he picked up another glass of the sparkling liquid and qualified it, he added, "Allah also is merciful." Though men's pernons ought not to be hated, yet, without all pernourishing their precepts justly may—Gustaf EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS 10.436 More Arrived Than Emigrated—Fewer West Indians Arrived Than Departed A net population gain of 10,436 unskilled laborers in the United States was shown in immigration statistics for the fiscal year 1925-26, compiled by the National Industrial Conference Board and made public August 22. During the preceding fiscal year, the first under the present immigration law, there was a net loss of 15,106 unskilled laborers. Next to the shift in the tide of unskilled labor, the most significant fact revealed by the compilation was the continued increase in immigration from among the professional classes in Europe. An influx of this class of population has been noticeable ever since the war, the report says, and suggests that it is attributable to the "great economic pressure inflicted upon their class in Europe since the war." The net gain in professional persons for the last fiscal year was 9,041; for the year before 8,367. The gain in unskilled labor resulted from a total immigration of 43,543 of this class as against an emigration of 33,107. Skilled labor showed a slight net gain for the year over the preceding year, the figures being 47,147 and 42,423 respectively. Farmers and farm laborers fell off from 28,266 in 1924-25 to 28,888 in 1925-26. The net gain in population through all classes of immigration for the year was 227,496, a gain of 13 per cent over the year before and a loss of 64 per cent from 1923-24, the last year before the present law went into effect. The total immigration of allons for the past year was 364,685 as against 769,922 alons who left this country during the year. The board finds that in general the quota countries more nearly succeeded in filling their quotas last year than in the year before, and attributes this to a greater efficiency resulting from a growing familiarity with the functioning of the law. Last year 91.6 percent of the total quotas was filled as against 88.6 per cent the year before. In the case of Canada and Mexico, neither of which in restricted to a quota, there was a decrease from the former during the year and an increase from the latter. Immigrants from Mexico totaled 48.316 for the year, approximately 10,000 more than the year before. There were more than 91,000 Canadian immigrants during the year, but the figure represented a falling off of about 9,000 from 1924-25. A diversity of nationalities left this country during the year in greater numbers than they entered. The list in this category includes Bulgaria, Serbia, Montenegro, China, Dalmatia, Bosnia, Herzegovina, East Indies, Greece, Italy, Japan, Lithuania, Portugal, Rumania, Spain, Slovakia, Turkey and West Indies (except Cuba). Bishop of London Fears Annexation of Canada TORONTO. Aug. 21.—The Bishop of London, the Right Reverend A. F. Winston-Ingram, thinks there is danger of the annexation of Canada to the United States. He advocates a program be adopted for populating the Dominion with British stock rather than Southern Europeans. He asks support for the Church of England project for ampire settlement. He says: "Do not let us hide our faces from the real danger. I know perfectly well that not all Canadians are as loyal to the British Empire as those in Toronto and Ontario." There is a remedy for selfishness, and it is within the reach of every human being, and within each human being is the educative starting point. It is well to begin at that starting point, too. He who uses others to fulfill one's own ambition, then sticks his fronded head into the clouds of glory, scorning or forgetting the prop and support of others which aided his ascension, is a man who will inevitably answer for his notorious selfishness—National Baptist Voice. We must "carry on" in spite of all discouragements. Some day we will develop a stronger and nobler leadership, relagating the spring-kneed Negro traitors to the rear. Dayton Forum. It is often very unpleasant to speak the truth, but "If you know the truth, the truth shall make you free."—Star of Elen. Every political campaign in the South is a strong reminder to the Negro of the gravest injustice and, if, under it, he cultivated a genuine patriotism or the hundred-per-count citizenship sentiment, he will prove to be a new political and social element, a new pattern of democracy, and different from any yet discerned in the history of the world. —Birmingham Reporter. And so we say, again, and we firmly believe that the Negro will never amount to morb as a group, race or nation until the black people of all shades and have realities that it matters not how grown with prejudice his path; how charged with discrimination the future, his only hope runs in the fort that he must stop long enough to have a sympathetic understanding with his own.—California Region. The acceptance of nations and big enterprises with its leaders passes through varied processes. The home, the time and the responsibility demand Evolution of the U.N.I.A. By LOUIS & RAWLINS It was Herbert Spencer, the English sociologist, who showed us that everything in nature has for centuries been undergoing a slow but persistent change. Thus we are assured that the process of evolution applies not only to animate but also to inanimate things as well. We are taught in economics that there are five stages in the development of the economic life of mankind, namely (1) the stage of direct appropriation. Here we find primitive man in order to sustain life had to go fishing and hunting. Then from this stage he passed on to (2) the pastoral stage, and next to (3) the agricultural stage, and from this to (4) the handcraft stage, and then to (5) our present industrial stage. Thus we see the social evolution of man due to his ever increasing power of intelligence and increasing degree of cooperation in group activities. Group activities enable man to achieve many things which at times would be difficult if not impossible to achieve if begun individually. This accounts for the numerous societies and associations which today we find. A modern writer oh American social problems tells us that "the ideal of a society in the twentieth century is that of social bettement, and he is greatest among his followers who best serve their trustful interests." Among the galaxy of associations we find the greatest of all Negro associations, the U. N. I. A. A close study of this organization reveals the fact that its territorial activities spread from north to south and east to west. It is headed by the greatest of all Negro leaders, Marcus Garvey. He is singled out among the others because he "beat serves his people's trust interests." This association was organized in 1918, and although only eight years have elapsed no one can deny its rapid development or. if you please, its evolution upward. It is really in its second stage of development. During its first stage it developed among Negroes race consciousness, a feeling of pride, and the realization of equality. In fact, it fashioned a "New Negro"—one who will "stand like a demagogue and scorn his treachery fatters without winking." This New Negro can see no difference between his American, West Indian, or African brethren. To him they are part and parcel of one common stock. There are, of course, a few members of the race who are static, if not stagnant—who repel improvement, but comedians there must be. Like a contagion the cruising movement spreads, and now it has entered into its second stage of development, namely, the industrial stage. During this stage it has put forth no small effort in demonstrating the ability of the Negro in big business. It has operated from a grocery store in an array of ships, and its recent acquisition of a school in Virginia proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that it is hard "to keep a good thing down." Organization is the Negro's only salvation. The U. N. I. A. represents the most advanced stage of the mind of the New Negro. It is uninfluenced by the blindness of imitation of other Negro movements, but as it evolves upward, its pioneers are ever intelligently cognizant of a course of action best suited to the welfare of the Negro peoples of the world. men fitted for the occasion. It is difficult to name the specific hour, time and particular responsibility that foreshadows the faith that comes from friendships, individual and collective, that crystallise into public and fraternal favor, permanent and enduring.—Denver Star. The Negro has got to be taught the great lessons of decency, truth and race pride. He has to be taught the lesson of co-operation, co-ordination and concentration. He has to be taught that things of value are only obtained by conscientious hard work.—Newport News Star. The New Negro says that the race can ill afford even to listen to ravings of that dangerous relic of the ante-belgian Negro, who advises Negroes to go along the lines of least resistance, just we disturb the powers that be. Jesus, the lowly Namero, disturbed the powers that were, because he taught a doctrine of love and equality of races. The New Negro is not mourning the departure of the cringing, crouching, bowing, scraping specimen of slavery as he makes his final bow on the stage of American drama; but the New Negro, with an abiding faith in God and a clearer vision of right and righteousness, will fight on conscious of the fact God and right will win.—California Voice. We have stood still and permitted the Blindfold of misrepresentation to be tied over our eyes, and the arguments of our fellows as to the pleasure and fun, as well as the profits of being burdened from one point to another, has scuttled real and pleasant to our ears. So it is time that we should make up our mind to use our intelligence and grasp and hold firmly the first buffer upon which we can place our hands and thereby deny the removal of the Blindfold and the outsiders who have no discipine as the great vanguard. Member of Senate Committee Hobnobs With Miscreants and Finds Nothing He Can Condemn—But Would Have Government in Permanent Form By CASPER HOLSTEIN President Virgin Islands Congressional Council Some time ago I recorded the fact that Senator Bingham of Connecticut, a member of the United States Senate Committee on Territories and Insular Possessions, had gone down to the Virgin Islands on his own account to find out facts at first hand. The Senator seems to have hurried over his self-appointed task, for, according to current reports, he spent about three days in each of the two larger islands—St. Croix and St. Thomas. What he learned in that time has been given in interviews to the newspapers, and it makes interesting reading. He seems somewhat surprised that the Virgin Islanders are all able to speak English. But that was to be expected. They seemed to have favorably impressed him, and he comes back to the mainland rooting for a change of government from the present temporary form to a permanent one. In that he, of course, agrees with the gist of our demands during the past five years, although it is not quite clear from the available newspaper clippings whether he directly approves the management of the islands by the Navy Department. But there is one sentence in his public interview, given To the Associated Press on the 3d instant, which reads strangely and seems not only at odds with the rest of the interview, but with the recorded facts of the situation as they are known to us and to the impartial world. "The people of the islands had no complaints to make," the Senator said, "of injustice, cruelty or impossibility of obtaining hearings by the government and his official representatives." This is not quite understandable, in view of the fact that precisely such complaints were made early this year by local legislators and other representatives of the Virgin Islanders before the Senate Committee on Territories and Inuaral Possessions, of which Mr. Bingham is a member. Or can it be that he does not rock Virgin Islanders as people of the islands when they leave the islands to make their complaints in Washington? It was unfortunate that, for the most part, the Senator was clustered during his brief stay with the very officials of the naval government to whom he issues such a ridiculous blanket form of approval and absolution. The Senator was conversant with the recent history of the Colonial Council, in which the former Governor and the present incumbent forced two white subjects of England and Denmark as members. With the aid of these two allies the naval party holds the legal and constitutional control over the course of legal legislation and the civic and political destinies of the islanders. Strange that Senator Bingham, the former student of the United States Constitution, can see neither injustice in this nor cruelty in the further fact that, when the Legislature protested, the Governor, like another Oliver Cromwell, closed the legislative assembly hall against them. Surely, he must have known of the case of Rothschild Francis and the notorious abuse of judicial power which was revealed in that case. He must have heard of the deportation of Bishop Barrow and Morninga Bonaparte, the one for indoors a mild criticism made by a Congressional investigating committee, which was markedly friendly to the naval regime, and the other for helping the laborers of St. Croix to perfect their economic organization and improve their social condition. He could have acquainted himself with the annual report of Admiral Kittelle, who, while Governor of the islands, declared that venereal diseases appeared in the islands co-inidentally with the coming of the Americans, and who pointed out that the Navy Department regularly sent to the British islands to buy fresh fruits and vegetables when the American islands were teeming with abundance of these fruits and vegetables of the first quality. It could hardly be hidden from the Senator that while the present regime enforces the latest amendment to the Constitution against the staple product, rum, it refuses to apply the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, passed more than sixty years ago, so that only one-twentieth of those eligible for the franchise are permitted to vote and take part in the government. I must confess that in the face of these and other facts I am unable to understand how the Senator reached the impotent and lame conclusion that the people of the islands have no complaint to make of "intolerance, cruelty or impossibility of obtaining benefits by the Governor and his official representatives." That must always remain one of the great mysteries of naval rule in the Virgin Islands. . . THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 38, 1080 .

A. BUFFALO, N. Y.-The first large trust fund ever established in a Negro Young Men's Christian Association has just been made possible in Buffalo through the gift of $100,000 by Mr. and Mrs. George B. Mathews, of that city, according to word received this week by the Y. M. C. A. National Council. The income of about $6,000 annually is to be used in work among the Negro population. The gift was made on condition that the Association enlarge its building plans in anticipation of a 100 per cent increase in the Negro population of Buffalo. A year ago Mr. Mathews gave $25,000 additional to the building. Mr. Mathews is President of the Niagara Milling Company, and has long since shown a marked moral and financial interest in the problems confronting the growing Negro population of his city.

They are positively the greatest preparations of their kind that I have ever used. As is the case with millions of my sisters, beauty means much to me and I am sincerely grateful to the bountiful blessings that you have bestowed upon all of us by creating these unequalled cosmetics." Tributes such as these are received daily by Madame Hightower, and this kind woman finds no end of satisfaction and pleasure in knowing that her efforts are being appreciated. Over 12,000 drug stores are now distributing Golden Brown products to a loyal and appreciative group, and Memphis, Tennessee, is achieving international prominence and publicity through the recognised genius of one of her best loved daughters.

Pope Excommunicated Tobacco Smokers Tobacco was hopefully resorted to as a specific against all sorts of diseases for a generation or two after its introduction in western Europe. During the plague of London everybody, including women and children, learned to smoke because tobacco appeared to confer immunity against the contagion. Tobacco was recommended for dropsy, gout, colds, epilepsy and indigestion. But by the second quarter of the seventeenth century a reaction had set in, says the "Living Age." In 1637 Tobias Venner, a doctor in Bath, published a heated distribe against it, maintaining that it "hath a deleteriable, or venomous quality" and that "taken into the body it tortureth and disturbeth the same with violent objections both upwards and downwards, astonisheth the spirits, stupefeth and benumbeth the sense and all the nerves." In 1624 Pope Urban VIII, published a decree of excommunication against snuff takers, and in 1690 Pope Innocent XII, extended the excommunication to smokers. In 1634, smokers in Russia were punished by having their noses cut off.

ASSOCIATION 'Neither Rime Nor Reason' Sir Thomas More's Ouipp The phrase "neither rime nor reason" dates back to Sir Thomas More, author of "Utopia," to whom a pompous and pedantic author took his ponderous book asking for an opinion regarding it. The Chancellor of "Bluff King Hal" is one of the most attractive characters in English history, being gentle and even tempered, says Tit-Bits. By way of letting down the author as easily as possible he suggested that the book might be turned into rime to advantage. The author went away highly pleased, and, on completing his task returned to Sir Thomas for a final verdict. "Aye, aye," said the witty satirist, "that's better.

Madame Sarajini Naidu who has been thus honored is a poetess and the leading feminine figure in politics. She is forceful, determined and has renounced her social and literary life for service to her country. Her ability for leadership is not only an inspiration to Indian women, but all women of the East are greatly encouraged to emerge from their seclusion and take an active part in directing world affairs. Women seem to instinctively feel that the time is ripe for all peoples to make and defend a place for themselves; hence they have become impatient with the lethargic efforts of the men, and are coming forth from their homes, throwing off their veils and helping to make life more secure and happy for their children. The day of freedom is dawning in the East, and the women are measuring up to the exigencies of the times in helping to kindle the flame of true liberty. At the opening of the Congress, Madame Naidu made an eloquent speech in which she attacked the slothful policy of the men: "How shall I kindle the flame which shall waken you men from slavery? We are a people disorganized, divided. We are traitors because we are afraid; cowards by compulsion. We are exploited by the white race, the yellow and the brown. You man, what are you but cheap imitations of models from the West? You have run after false gods that slay you, devour your honor and the honor of your race. Some of you say: 'Let us be patient. Let us wait six months, a year, ten years.' Devastating patience! Oh, if I could destroy it! Let us cry now, today, 'Our bondage is ended!' Then and only then will swaraj be near." And, in closing, this ardent summoner of India to "crescent honors, splendors, victories vast," sounded the religious note: "With palms uplifted in ardent supplication I pray that to us, in our coming hour of travail, may be granted in sufficient measure an invincible faith and an inflexible courage, and that He in whose name we begin our labors today will in the hour of our triumph keep us humble and in the beautiful words of our ancient Invocation: 'Lead us out of the Unreal into the Real Out of Darkness into Light, Out of Death into Immortality.'

Women have a purifying effect on politics, and it is felt that India will be greatly benefited by the activities of the gentle sex in its swaraj program. Men play politics sometimes for personal gain, financially or just to be in the lime-light, but women enter politics, mainly for the good they feel they can accomplish. They are self-sacrificing—a quality born of motherhood—for what mother thinks of herself first, in performing her multifarious household duties. And so in emerging from the home into the larger field, they go forth well trained to serve others, and to subordinate their own feelings, for the common good. The great Mahatma Gandhi was also present at the Congress and made a resolution opposing the Asiatic bill now before the South African government, which seeks to restrict Indians. Dr. Abdur Rahman in supporting the resolution struck the keynote of the situation, when he said: "If you had some battle-ships today, if you had your army, a little handful of the so-called whites who were vomited forth on the shores of Africa from the slums of Europe would not have dared to do what they are doing today." This is just what Marcus Garvey has been hammering in the ears of Negroes for the last nine years; the world respects force and power, not prayers and tears. Get aeroplanes, battle-ships, poisonous gases and trained men, and nations will respect and fear you. Build the most beautiful churches, shout and pray in them, and the world will laugh at you, and when they feel like using the land for building factories, etc., they will burn you and the churches, if you don't get out fast enough. The Pilgrim Fathers came to America in order to escape religious persecution; yet they did not build million dollar churches, as Negroes are now doing, and neglect to build roads, battle-ships, ammunition plants and bridges. No, they knew that God said, "I will help those who help themselves," so they set out to make America safe for themselves and their children, then asked divine guidance. The result is America is the richest country in the world today, and the American bankers control the destiny of nearly all the small nations. The darker peoples of the world should make greater effort to throw off superstitution, and enlighten religious fanatics to the real needs of the oppressed. The scum of the earth with implements of war can keep down intelligent people if the latter refuses to get armed, only depending on prayers. England would never be able to control India, if no Hindu-Moslem hatred existed. The sacred cow is the symbol that keeps them tearing each other's throats, and prevents them from throwing off alien domination when men of color learn to worship God as scientifically as white men, then they will be able to protect themselves and enjoy this beautiful world, that was intended for their comfort and pleasure. May the day speedily come when black, yellow and brown will restore to the East the splendor that was once hers and the strong arm of modern protection to safe-guard same. A good cigar may be a smoke, as Kipling wrote, but it is something more than that; it is a menace to the eyes of the another. Dr. G. L.

Furthermore, the cigarette poisoning, whatever the composition of the poison may be, is most severe on young people." The ophthalmoscope and perimeter make it possible for optometrists to measure systematic abnormalities resulting from smoking. Dr. Schneider said. The former instrument gives evidences of blood circulated conditions, the latter shows changes in the visual color fields which are poisoned and otherwise influenced. Harm is not confined to young people, said Dr. Schieferder, for he has also noted that women amateurs are complaining of trouble with their eyes. While smoking is consistently harmful to all eyes, he believes women will experience many more results than men. We Want 1,000 Agents To Call Mobile Paments HAIR GROOMER THE NIGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 28, 1969 Industries and Professions Invaded by Them TOKIO—Japanese women, so famous for their modesty and demurence, are to have an opportunity to enter the profession of law. The authorities have decided to revise the regulations concerning lawyers and examinations for lawyers and place the new regulations before the next session of the Diet and women will be licensed to practice law if they pass the necessary examinations. In the past the Japanese woman's field was limited to the domestic circle, except literature. The military man who took everything in their hands, limiting the sphere of woman because they could not be used in war, seemed to forget the ancient days when women led armies in battles. Equal荐学 for Boys and Girls With the establishment of modern Japan, women were given the same schooling as boys, but many people thought that any higher education than the elementary was unacademic for women. It is only in the past fifteen years that colleges for women have been opened. But graduates of these colleges did not have opportunities to show their ability. Only in the past ten years have professional women appeared. There are now women physicians, dentists, bookkeepers, typists, interpreters and school teachers. But they could not become Government officials except in such jobs as junior clerkship. There are women taxi drivers, women street car conductors, women insurance solicitors. Big department stores which have been opened in the past few years have given many positions to girls. Factories employ millions of female hands. There is, of course, domestic service, which had formerly been the only field where women could work and obtain wages. First Novelist a Woman In aris there are many famous women. These fields are not new to them, as they enjoyed the artistic fame more than a thousand years ago. Women poets were numerous in old days, and the first novel ever written in Japan was by a woman. Now comes the woman lawyer, Professional women and women workers in various fields predict a signal success for the woman lawyer. They say that, the interests of women and rights of women will only be better safeguarded by women lawyers. PUERILE FRENCH DEBT SUGGESTION "Jim Crow" Officers and Marines Tabooed by Frenoh West Indians "Liberty," the Chicago "Tribune" weekly imitation of the "Saturday Evening Post," has discovered a solution to the French debt problem. It is all quite simple—like the Mexican problem. "Liberty'a" solution of the Mexican problem would be to wipe out the Mexican boundary without consent of Mexico; "Liberty'a" solution of the French debt problem would be the sale of the French West Indies to us for part of the debt. It ignores the fact that we do not want the island, France does not want to sell them, and the natives do not want to be sold. The third point is the most important and it is also the one most likely to be ignored. Why should colored citizens of a self-respecting community submit to the patronage and policing of Jim Crow officers from Virginia? And who, after the experience of Haiti, could want American bankers and marriages? Incidentally our experience in buying second-hand islands would seem to indicate that the upkeep exceeds the initial cost plus the gross profits by several hundred per cent. The Nation. TO A HOUSE-PAINTER By JIM WATERL NOTES OF INTEREST European Steel Trust Mines England French, German and Belgian steel magnates imbibed champagne at an informal luncheon in a Paris restaurant recently. They had just put the finishing touches to their plan for an international steel trust. England was invited to come in, but refused. One of the reasons was the refusal of the continental powers to recognise the British dominions as colonies, because each country adhering to the compact forfeits her right to export to other signatories' colonies. The French, Germians and Belgians are winning important markets in India and South Africa and refused to tie their hands. T. J. Q'Faherty. Mexico Sasking Central American Leadership There is no doubt that diplomatically and morally we are being out-maneuvered by Mexico in Central America. Some will consider this of small moment, since we can always accomplish our immediate purposes in a ready, ruthless manner through the exercise of superior economic and military power. But history is not written in a decade or even in a century. The Mexican activities are a part of a general Latin-American united front tandemy, part of the age-long will of men and nations to be free. Mexico is marching on the canal with music, banners and flowers. We are marching with dollars, machine guns and marines—Carleton Beaul. Ford Manufactures Flipper Plane "Beginningly Henry Ford is ambitious that his son should have as large a share in the work of popularizing aerial transportation as he himself has had in the popularization of automotive transportation. By sending his son to see the President, Ford has deliberately tried to push himself into the background. "The Fords seem to be basing their hopes upon the all-metal monoplanes which they have been manufacturing for some time. This plane, equipped with three motors and weighing two tons, is capable of carrying a one-ton load. "Talking to the reporters at the President's summer home, Kipel Ford declared he is preparing to manufacture this all-metal plane on a mass-production basis. His first task must be to make airplane travel an nearly safe as possible. Therefore, he manufactures the three-motor plane, which has proved extraordinarily safe.—Chicago Journal of Commerce. Conflict of Interest In Egypt It is an open secret that the policy of London looks toward making the British Empire self-sustaining. Lancashire bitterly resents the necessity for buying raw material from the United States. England has a stranglehold upon rubber. Downing Street is seeking to give Manchester a free hand in respect of cotton. Egypt, possessing 14,000,000 hungry mouths and adding 200,000 more every year, has not the superficial area to bring about the desired result even if every drop of Nile water were reserved for the follah. The Sudan, however, can concentrate upon cotton. It has no food problem to consider. And as for agriculture, it has an unlimited supply. There is, therefore, an ideal combination. There are financiers who understand the meaning of propaganda, patrols who desire to advance imperial interests and a vast country of untold wealth that awaits development.—Pierre Crabites. Tangier Creates European Crisis First fruits of the new agreement between Spain and Italy have not been slow in appearing. Before the compact was a week old, Prime de Rivera had announced that Spain wants Tangier, which is at present in an international zone. If she doesn't get it, the distracting situation to withdraw from the RIM, thereby greatly complicating the military problem in North Africa of Spain's late ally, France. Great Britain is worried by this demand because Tangier lies across the strait from Gibraltar; France is worried for the reason stated, and both of them are worried because the new treaty between Italy and Spain will greatly further Museoini's ambition to make the Mediterranean an Italian lake, as well as forwarding his schemes for colonial expansion in Africa. It is no conspiration to say that the present ambitions of the European powers in Africa create an international situation of grave danger, and that the charges of Museoini and his government make that danger twice as great.—The New Republic.

BEGGIE HART JORDAN, Pitbishaw, Pa. Talk without deeds is useless. We of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are teaching our children not to be dependent upon other children, and that self-reliance brings freedom. We of the Negro race should know that the blood of the black race is the strongest blood in existence. It is not enough that we inculcate into the minds of the younger generation this historical fact; it is for us to give to this age such attributes of culture and progress as will prove to society that we are worthy of a place in the sun. It is true that in training the youth of the Negro race the odds are against us while in alien lands. But the task would be so much lighter were we to let our deeds harmonise with our instructions to them. We have heard hundreds of would-be leaders beseech the youth of the land to resist any attempt on the part of alien races to rough over us. They have broadcast in obsequent language from a thousand platforms the acquisition of race pride and everything that serves to make a strong race. We have seen those same hypocrites selling out the race and doing everything that is detrimental in their mind just for notoriety and self-indulgence. We have seen them throw principle and doctrum aside to reap the almighty dollar, and this with the youth of the race as star witnesses. When a white leader preaches race pride and loyalty to his constituents he sees to it that he lives in conformity with his preachment, putting an inspiration for his children and the youth of his country. That is not all. The white man uses every imaginable method in his desire to prove his superiority over the Negro by increasing his own ability to create and achieve while he decreases the avenues that would assist the Negro to keep pace with him. White men look upon white youth, as the pillars of white supremacy. They create and achieve, thus inspiring the younger generation to a life of service dedicated to race and nation. What white men are doing for white boys and girls the U. N. I. A. deserves black men to do for black boys and girls. We must of necessity do something to interest the youth of our race in racial attainment and since the program of the U. N. I. A. covers all the necessities of the race, every mother and father, every guardian of Negro youth, should make it a family tradition that at least one boy and one girl in every family enlists for service to Africa and the race under the banner of the U. N. I. A. MORE CRAZY BACHELOR$ THAN CRAZY MARRIED MEN From The World's Bureau LONDON.-Scientists are saying that the best way to preserve one's sanity in these strenguous days is to marry. "Between the ages of twenty-five and fifty-five insanity is nearly three times as prevalent among single men and women as among a similar number of married persons of the same age," says Pref. G. M. Robertson, President of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh. He made the statement before that learned body, the Royal Medice-Psychelogical Association. "The incidence of insanity among the married is decidedly low," said the professor. "It is increased, however, to a marked degree by the loss of a husband or wife. There has been a process of selection among the married, who may be regarded as a picked lot. Both husband and wife have at least selected one another from among all others, apparently for very good reasons. The cynic has said that the lives of married men are not really longer than the single—only they seem longer. From my statistics it would seem that married men score off psychologists in both senses. One may conclude from the low incidence of insanity among the married that the condition of marriage is the most favourable mode of assistance for men and women. "Men between twenty-five and thirty-five years of age continuing backchairs die on the average four years sooner than married men, and run three times the risk of becoming insane."

The derangement is recognized in several forms, some of which we shall briefly describe. BILIOUS COLIC.—This may be the result of a meridial condition of the liver. It is characterized by severe pain occurring in paroexsystma, which may be relieved by pressure upon the bowels. The pulse is quick, the tongue coated and the skin harsh and dry; there is headache, impaired appetite, acrid taste in the mouth, thirst, nausea, attended with vomiting and general chilliness, followed by febrile symptoms. Its cause may be induced by exposure to cold, in consequence of which the circulation is impeded, the pores of the skin obstructed and all of the vitiated matters having to be expelled through the liver, stomach and intestines. It may also be due to malaria in the atmosphere. It most commonly occurs during the autumn, after a season of hot weather. FLATULENT or "WIND" COLIC is one of the results of indigestion. A sense of fullness in the pit of the stomach, attended with pain which is transferred from one part of the bowels to another; there is fever, a quick pulse, nausea and the presence of gas. Cold or atmospheric changes, the eating of unripe fruits, uncooked vegetables and those articles of diet which ferment easily are the principal causes. PAINTER'S COLIC or "LMAD" COLIC—From the term applied to this form its cause may be inferred. It is induced by the absorption of lead through the lungs, stomach and skin. These persons who are engaged in the manufacture of lead and painters are the most frequent victims of this affection. Treatment.—The indication to be fulfilled in billious coco is to relieve the intestinal spasm. If the stomach be irritable usually quick relief is secured by giving an injection of soap and warm water. In flatulent colic assist the action of physio by giving an injection of senna tea. If the pain in the abdomen is severe apply hot fomentations. In painter's colic an injection of castor oil and molasses containing a few drops of spirits of turpentine will also give some relief. If simple means do not promptly arrest these attacks, no time should be lost in symponing a physician.

MARCUS GARVEY'S CONTRIBUTION TO HIS RACE As we celebrate in our hearts the memory of Mr. Garvey's birth, it is with pride of heart and mind that we think of him. Thirty-nine years ago a baby was born. Little did that mother know that she was contributing the greatest gift to civilization and to her race in that he is the greatest channel which God has used to remove the scars from the eyes of his fellow men. He has set Negroes thinking in the terms of nationhood, one of the greatest achievements of any people. He has made us to realize that we are men and women with brains and ability just as any other people, and that if we organize ourselves in every possible way we will some day reach our desired goal of a redeemed Africa, and demand our place in the sun. He has also made us realize that it is not the color of a man's skin that causes him to be ignored, but it is his inability to create. If we remain in a consumers' position all the days of our lives, then we will be trampled upon. Let us take on fully the spirit of Garveyism which he has so nobly brought to us since he came on the scene of action, never flinching from his determination in trying to lift his fallen race again to the heights of their past greatness. Though persecuted and imprisoned, even that has failed to quench his spirit of loyalty and zealousness to the great cause for which he has been imprisoned. No greater love hath a man than this that he give his life and liberty for his friends. Special notice to all who suffer from ANHAMA, COLDE, INSIGNETION, KIDNEY, BLADDER or ATOMACH TROUBLE.

DIVISIONS --- Report of Convention Attended by Delegates From Homestead, Braddock and Donora Visit by Executive Officers The local convention of Pittsburgh and surrounding divisions opened on Sunday, August 15, with hundreds accalming the name and leadership of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. Early in the morning a joyous stream of members and friends from far and near began wending their way to Liberty Hall by every possible means of transportation.

At 10 a.m. the doors of our new restaurant was thrown open to the delegates and visitors. At 11 a.m. the convention was officially opened with religious service. Following is the program: Processional hymn "God Bless Our President." The Choir Black Cross Nurse, Legions and officers were resplendent in their uniforms, as was also the Hon. S. A Haynes in his silk black robe. The Rev. Zehede Green, chaplain, led the meeting in prayer, followed by the recital of the 2nd Psalm in unison. The splendid manner in which the opening ode was sung left no doubt as to the solemnity and grandeur of the occasion. After a selection from the choir, the following, greetings from the divisions taking part were received with acclamation. Greetings from the Homestead Division, the Hon. W. J. Thompson, president. Greetings from the Bradock Division, the Hon. Robert Brooks, president. Greetings from the Donora Division, Hon. Eugene Tolbert, first vice-president. The convention sermon was delivered by the Hon.

The address of the evening was delivered by the Hon. S. A. Haynes. His discussion was based on a startling editorial, written in answer to several requests of educated, progressive Negroes in his assistance, asking that he undertake an invitation for the restoration of the franchise to all Negroes in the South, by Editor Floyd J. Triplett of the Hartford, N. C. Herald, and prominently featured in the Norfolk Journal and Guide for August 14. In it Mr. Triplett courageously endorsed the program of the U. N. I.

A delicious supper was served by the ladies of the division at the close of the program. Home-stand division is out to make 1926 a banner year, and is bending every effort toward that end. MRS. LOUISE J. EDWARDS, Reporter. DETROIT., MICH. The Detroit Division staged a monster parade on the opening of the second local convention which was crowned with all the pomp and glory befitting the occasion. We were favored with a visit by Prof. Ross D Brown from Chicago, Ill., who was the speaker of the evening. The chaplain, Rev. A. L. Harrison, opened the meeting at 2.30 p.m. in the usual manner, after which he presented the acting president, Hon. S. V. Robertson. Several beautiful selections were rendered by the choir, after which we were favored with a short and very inspiring address by Mr. A. Craigen. We were also favored with a beautiful violin solo by Mr. Chus, Dyall of Windsor, Canada, Mr. Geo. A. Taylor read the front page message of The Negro World by the Hon. Marc Garvey. A liberal offering was taken, Mr. O'Brien Bristol introduced the speaker of the evening, Prof. Rosa D. Brown, who spoke on the subject, "The Forest int Hold Us Back." Prof. Brown spoke from the deeds of his heart and the members were highly enthused over his speech. The hall was packed to its capacity. Words are inadequate for the Detroit Division to express its sincere sympathy for the loss through death of one of its best members, Mrs. Mary Bates, daughter of Mrs. Lula Jenkins, acting lady president, Mrs. Bates during her seven years' connection with this division proved that she knew what Garveyism meant. Untold sacrifices were made by her for the cause, and on the hecks of the Universal Negro Improvement Association the name of Mary Bates is written, you a thousand times. The Universal Negro Improvement Association to her was a sacred charge, and no sacrifices were too great for her to make for the cause she loved. In all her stricken days her quarrels and convictions were of the U. M. I. A. As she goes to the great beyond to eternal rest we hope that her spirit may continue to work, thereby instilling in those that she left behind the true principles of Carvayism. The sympathy of the entire U. M. I. A., especially Detroit Division, goes out in this day of harassment to the family of our esteemed member, Mary Bates. RUTH M. SMITH, Reporter.

Our High Commissioner, Mr. Thomas Brookes, visited the Richmond Division No. 193 and the Royal Chapter 10a on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights, July 27, 28 and 29. On Tuesday night we had a mass meeting at Third St. Bethel A. M. E. Church, of which Rev. J. K. Hatcher is pastor. We had a delightful program of solos, choruses and recitations, and an address by the lady president, Mrs. Laura P. Johnson. The speaker of the evening was Mr. Thomas Brookes. His speech was interesting and instructive. Those who were not present missed a rare treat. On Wednesday evening the division met with the Royal Chapter at 26th St. Hall, the meeting place of the chapter. Mr. Brookes presided and we had a lovely meeting. Worthy of mention was a solo rendered by Miss Ella Banks and a quartette by four young men. These numbers were received with rapturous applause by those present. We decided unanimously that, according to conditions here in Richmond and for the heat interests of the U. N. I. A. here that the Richmond Division 193 and the Royal Chapter 104 would consolidate under the charter of the division. We will take as our meeting place the 26th St. Hall, which has been the meeting place of the chapter. It is very singular that this hall is just ten blocks from the St. John's Church where Patrick Henry made his famous speech: "Give me liberty or give me death." We feel that this will give us an inspiration to help liberate the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world. Mrs. Racilia W. S. Jones who was general secretary of the Royal Chapter was unanimously elected as general secretary of Richmond Division. Mr. Brookes had a heart to heart talk with the members and we feel that his instructions will bear great fruit here in the near future. On Thursday night we met at 31st St. Baptist Church. Rev. S. P. Robinson, pastor. A nice program was rendered on that night as on each of the two previous nights. Mrs. A. V. Davenport, our musical directress electrified the audiences with splendid renditions by the juveniles. The members turned out in full.

It is not always possible to strike back when we desire; it is not always good policy. We must learn to use strategy when we are trying to outwit rogues. One of the things that will strengthen us more than anything else is to remain firm and unyielding in our belief and support of the principles of the organisation. Sometimes we will have to sacrifice our pride to gain a victory, but we must be prepared to make all necessary sacrifices if we would win. Other races have used many divers and strange methods to advance the cause of the race and the Negro must learn to do likewise. We must persevere in spite of discouragements and setbacks, looking not always at present results, but seeing into the future. Philosophy of Leader Most Effective Weapon To the Editor of The Negro World: I here in my hand a volume bearing the title "Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey," or Africa for the Africans, compiled by his wife, Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey. After perusing the contents of this wonderful bit of literature I have concluded that it is one of the most effective programs which can be used by Garvey against the enemies of the U. N. L. A. Indeed, I feel justified in my say that if this book were published 20 years ago, it would have dealt Negro infiltrators and the old Negro leader with such a severe blow that Negroes throughout the world would have long since had a better knowledge of self, and know what it is to be politically well religiously free. I need hardly say that a copy should be placed in the hands of every member of the U.

Although many present opportunities may seem small and unworth, of our consideration, we must never lose sight of the fact the small opportunities taken advantage of may lead to a large one. Let us not despise the many chances to make good which we meet daily. What we may happen to get may lead indirectly to what we have been wanting. It is a common saying that "everything comes to him who waits." The Honorable Marcus Garvey has improved upon that by saying "Everything comes to him who knows how to wait." The Negro has been waiting through the centuries, but nothing has come of it because he did not know how to wait. The great leader is showing us how to work and wait. Opportunities will be coming to us as we work and wait. Let us not fall to take advantage of them. CEPHAS A. REID. Clego de Avila, Cuba. To the Editor of The Negro World: Allow me through your worthy paper to compliment our great leader, the Honorable Marcus Garvey. Without a doubt, Mr. Garvey has tackled the world's biggest job, and he is carrying out the work in a statesmanlike manner. The world of Negroes is indebted to him and any Negro who for Success and Happiness Why suffer or be unlucky?

Wood Vetoes Philippine Independence Bill For the second time Governor General Leonard Wood has vetoed a bill passed by the Philippine Legislature providing for a plebiscite on the question of Philippine independence. Governor Wood, according to the All-American Anti-Imperialist League, fears that such a referendum would result in an overwhelming demand for freedom from the United States. The League charges that the mission of Col. Carmil A. Thompson, President Coolidge's personal representative to the Philippines, is distorting the aims of native autonomists and sending out propaganda defaming the movement for independence.

E-23 PEACE CONGRESS WARS AS SPIRIT OF "PAX BRITANNICA" RULES PEACE CONGRESS WARS AS SPIRIT OF "PAX BRITANNICA" RULES Hindu Delegate Heads Revolt as Unemployment Talk Ousts important Question of Wars in Asia and Africa (From the New York Times.) BIRVILLE, Aug. 18. - The sixth International Peace Congress, which opened in perfect harmony yesterday wins the best trained German choirs singing hymns of peace and good will to all men, today threatened to break up in a general squabble over conflicting views on basic principles. French and German delegates so far have continued in harmony, but grave dissension has arisen between Asiatic delegates and the Congress's Resolutions Committee. Open revolt appeared near throughout today's proceedings. The Opposition was led by K. M. Panikkar, a Hindu delegate, who protested bitterly against the committee discussing unemployment statistics and other topics which he considered trivial instead of "tackling the most important question of all—the warfare now raging in North Africa, Syria, Arabia and China." In a private indignation meeting the "Left Wing" discussed the committee's attitude toward peace, which it alleged is based exclusively on the League of Nations viewpoint. This viewpoint, according to Panikkar, was peace as a purely European proposition. Resolution Call for Peace Maintaining his position as the storm-centre of the dissident forces, Panikkar got his supporters to adopt a resolution declaring that the bring- the most important after and then create the link recived my ring a change for the better has taken me a lot of time to do this and I can now possess it.

The resolution continues to say that peace cannot be maintained while some people are subjected to alien rule and demands that immediate self-determination be granted these. The resolution urges that all delegates be instructed by the Congress to assert themselves to obtain freedom for subject races as soon as possible—especially the delegates from countries which are ruling other peoples. The Panikkar resolution maintains that the Congress must not end without a strong protest against the failure of League powers to prevent the sale of arms to China, which, it says, is the main cause of the present civil war. It alleges that the League of Nations is selfish in upholding the European viewpoint of peace—bitterly criticizing what it calls "criminal hypocrisy." It asserts that peace is a mere lure, while Asia, the largest and most populated continent, is not free and remains the pawn of the greed and ambitions of the League nations and European rulers. "Real peace is unlike pax Brittania," Panikkar said, "which is peace with bomb-throwing airplanes, which may suit the League of Nations but does not suit the Hindus." The "left wing" cohorts also complained that the congress has been split up into numerous committees where they were insufficiently represented. They alleged it was impossible for them to voice their opinions before the THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA COLLEGE OF OSTEOPATHY (Incorporated Under the Laws of The District of Columbia) 1838 Ninth Street, N.
