The Negro World

The Independent Weekly The Voice of the Anarchical Negro Negro World Reaching the Maze of the Negro The Best Advertising Bundle A Newspaper Devoted solely to the Interests of the Negro Race U.S. NEGRO PRESS and MARCUS GARVEY VOL. XXII No. 19. MARCUS GARVEY After many years of bitter criticism of his accomplishments and after literal persecution and ostracism of men and women connected with his organizations, the Negro press of this country appears to be on the point of making an about face in its stand relative to the imprisonment of Marcus Garvey. Following the lead of one noted paper in Chicago, others, either by the generous quotation of its editorials or by the publication of others along similar lines, are waxing sympathetic and even sentimental in their statements concerning the necessity for intervention to save the only Negro who has ever been given the sub-title of a Moses in this United States. The balance of the 212 or more Negro newspapers will, if their previous alignments are any indication, follow the lead set by the several who have ventured to follow the lead of the Chicago Whip. This is certain because of the unfortunate fact that the editorial policies of most race newspapers are rarely original, but inevitably, on national questions, follow the point of view set by the others. But, although this newspaper feels as strong as any, including the Negro World, that Garvey's entire career in Atlanta has been one of the greatest blunders that his enemies could have perpetrated, there are certain considerations in this turning of the Negro press to him that should be mentioned. When Marcus Garvey was climbing to the heights of his power, after he had arrived there, and when his declination set in, his bitterest and most powerful enemy was the Negro press of this country. He was ridiculed beyond measure during those years. He was caricatured unmercifully. Every set back he experienced was hailed with glee by these newspapers. Every accomplishment that he effected was treated by writers in these papers with bitter irony. Every article of ridicule published in the white press and in white magazines was copied faithfully by the Negro press. Garvey's trial was written of in a spirit of jest. His march to the doors of Atlanta was hailed as a victory by this arch enemy. Long stories were published of his menial work behind the doors of his prison. No favor was even extended to him while he was there by the Negro press until one or two race correspondents interviewed this fellow journalist in his cell and had their stories published in a few papers. The Negro press followed and supported, consciously or unconsciously the attitude of the professional elements in race life, like doctors, who joined the U. N. I. A. secretly in order to profit by the trade it brought to their doors but NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JUNE 18, 1927 Outspoken Pittsburgh Paper Flays Shortsighted Negro Press, Jealous Negro Leaders and Ingrates for Assisting White Tyranny in Putting Marcus Garvey Behind Prison Bars GARVEY'S PHILOSOPHY "ACCURATE," HIS VISION "TREMENDOUS" Welcomes the Manifestation of Understanding and Penitence by the Negro Press Which Sinned Against Garvey, and Urges a "Concentra- tion of Protest to Free a Great Man" laughed and sneered at Garvey behind their doors. In persecuting Marcus Garvey the Negro press made one of its greatest blunders, both from the point of view of editorial policy and from that of profits. Garvey was a great figure and his activities were news of the greatest interest. If he was sincere, which is unquestioned then, as a Negro he should not have been rid. culed. One prominent paper wrote in favor of Garvey during 1922 and lost nothing by it, be- There is little question of the fact that the Negro press during these later years took their cue from the wrong sources and maligned a man whom they are now attempting to favor. The truth of the Marcus Garvey regime has rarely been admitted by his enemies, including the newspapers. It is that truth which probably keeps him in Atlanta. It is a safe thing to say that Marcus Garvey was a man of enormous power. Right or wrong his advice was listened to by many thousand Negroes. His advice was usually right. He would handle the Negro with masterly technique. He unified them where a thousand other leaders failed miserably. Garvey was feared, because of this power, by white people as well as some black. It has been hinted that the powers at Washington worried over his wide influence and his program for the Negro. It is more than possible that Wall Street did not want his propaganda of freedom for the natives of rich foreign lands to be carried too far. There is no question of the fact that the Garvey influence threw jealousy into the hearts of many race leaders. Their local hegemonies were naught compared to his international organization and prestige. They could never appeal to the Negroes of the country in the dramatic manner in which Garvey did, nor could they amass enormous amounts of money like he could to finance his dreams. Even in the numberless cases where Garvey lifted men of little prestige from comparative obscurity to great influence and money as members of his own powerful cabinet, most of such men helped ruin an organization which they thought they could dominate but which they PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK TEN CENTS ELECTRONICS IN TEXAS TEN CENTS IN PORCHEAN COUNTY could not because they could not have Garvey's grasp of world affairs. Nothing in Garvey's economic philosophy was foolish or depraved. His principles as indicated in the book edited by his wife, are sound ones. His philosophy is accurate. Race newspapers and race leaders, saturated with the white man's economic philosophy, never dreamed that they should have one too; and they scorned Garvey because he had the tremendous vision to formulate one and execute it practically. Political writers have declared that the idea back of Napoleon's conquests was not the thirst for physical power but the desire to graft onto a modern world the forces of liberalism released by the French Revolution—a superhuman task. The philosophy of Garvey can be said to have been executed by him in order to transform the restlessness and independence of the Negro gained from the war period into a lasting, exclusive, racial fabric—a task just as great. Napoleon's dream could not even be grasped by his hardened military generals. Garvey's could not be sensed by many of his leaders nor by the Negro press. But both the French proletariat and the ordinary Negro workman sensed both visions spiritually, though they might be unable to express them verbally. Marcus Garvey corraled both people and organizations to his service that the Negro press and his other enemies would have given then and now a great deal to be able similarly to corral. He should most certainly be pardoned by the government of this country at the united bequest of Negro business, the Negro press and Negro organizations and individuals. If it is true that powerful white interests fear Garvey's release because of the fact that he may regain an international prestige that may wake Negroes up a little too fast for the white man's real interests, then there is a double reason why he should be released. It is a tragic thing that every Negro leader who has a practical program for Negroes and is well on the way to success with it, should be torn down by jealous forces, apparently only for the glee of destruction which they might experience. Imagine Marcus Garvey's thoughts when he remembers that one five dollar bill sent to his organization probably by a man who was but the tool of some great interests, placed him, innocently, within four prison walls. Imagine the sublime nerve it took for him to execute his program of changing the thought of the entire Negro world, in the face of the unmerciful irony of the Negro and white press and the undercover enmity of the professional leaders. Imagine his thoughts when he has seen men he lifted from obscurity to wealth and influence, help to place him in the walls of Atlanta. No Negro ney spaper, no Negro business, no Negro church, no Negro professional can achieve success without the generous support of the very same people who were envisioned by Garvey's program. And he was more or less spurned by all these elements. We believe he could come out of prison today, go to New York, and probably regain the prestige which he had. If white interests do not want him to do this, that is all the more reason why the race should insist on his release. A concentration of protest in this matter led by the press which helped place Garvey in Atlanta will help to siderably to free a great man.

We have not even agreed with many of tho Garvey Preachments, but we Join sincerely in the pleas for his release from prison. Ho has served two years and four ‘months of a five-year sentence.

It would be a fine thing tf some of the organizations against which Gar- Vey was so vehemently arrayed and which were equally as vehemently ar- rayed against him when he was at the height of his career would show their charity toward’ the man now by co- operating with the Universal Negro Improvement /seociation in the effort to procure its leader's liberation.

WORKING FOR THE RELEASE OF MR. GARVEY IN response to the appeal of Acting President-General Fred A. Toote, of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, "to Negroes in all walks of life" to join in the movement to secure a pardon in President-General Marcus Garvey, a long stream of petitions from all parts of the country and other parts of the world has flowed into the White House, addressed to President Coolidge, who has in this as in other ways had the matter constantly forced upon his attention. He was scheduled to leave the White House for his summer vacation about June 15, and it was hoped that he would have been moved to act in Mr. Garvey's behalf before he went away. We hope that President Coolidge is being made to see by the petitions which have reached him and which will continue to reach him that there is a world-wide hope and expectation that he will extend a pardon to Mr. Garvey, who has served more than two years of his sentence and whose health has been gradually undermined by prison confinement. The ends of justice, as reacquired by the Federal Judge and jury before whom the case was tried, have been satisfied, it is generally believed, and a majority of the jury which tried him have joined in the petition for a pardon. It is the duty of the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to continue the effort to secure a pardon for Mr. Garvey. They owe him that much for what he has done to serve them and the sacrifices he has made for them and they need his personal guidance in the great work of the Association. The way to get what you desire is to keep on fighting for it until you get it. There is no other way. RACE AND OTHER PREJUDICE MOST PRIMITIVE AND BARBAROUS THE Christian minister everywhere should stand for all that is wise, just and truthful in life, as opposed to those influences which make for social corruption and degeneration; but the Christian minister has not always stood for these principles, and he does not do so today in such a way as to influence the enforcement of just laws and the suppression of the lawless. Only two weeks ago we quoted Rev. John Roach Straton, of New York, as declaring that the greatest danger in American life is "lawlessness." "Unless we establish respect for constituted authority in this country, we are going on the rocks," he said. Could any saying be truer, when disrespect for lawful authority is so general as to make crime familiar to us all as a menace to the life of the Nation. If the Christian ministers of the Nation would set themselves against lawlessness, against the enactment and enforcement of unjust laws, and against mob and lynch law practices, the latter two of which flourish unrebuked and unrestrained in all of the Southern States, with special reference to the life and property of Negro citizens—if the Christian ministers of the Nation would take the proper attitude upon the lawlessness of the times we should soon have healthier conditions in all sections of the Nation; and if the editors of the newspapers would join with the ministers of the gospel in this crusade against lawlessness in all of its many forms and disguises, we should soon have a great deal less of it and perhaps a complete obliteration of it "as a sin and reproach." Fast upon the outgiving of Dr. Straton against lawlessness, Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, pastor of the Park avenue Baptist Church, one of the most influential pastors in the Nation, delivered a sermon recently against "the sin of prejudice," which he characterized as "the worst sin in the world." Enlarging upon his theme, Dr. Fosdick said: "It is a sin whose consequences on its victims are not so obvious as lusts of the flesh and yet whose devastations of the human race are written large in every war, in every outbreak of racial hatred, in a million oppressions and ostracisms. "It's record of heartbreaks surpasses all the other sins of men. Its results in bloodshed have made history an orgy of carnage and make civilization today a brief interval between catastrophes. "Many of us have no concern with the temptation to drunkenness and adultery but we all have temptation to prejudice. People who say that they hate the Japanese or the Italians or the Negroes or Roman Catholics or Jews, may walk in respectable society, but for all that they are lepers. They are breeding places for the world's most deadly moral pestilence. "Our racial, religious and national prejudices represent a belated attitude. They are leftovers from the conditions of life which surrounded primitive man when every stranger was an enemy. That is the origin of prejudice, and when today you hear people who hate Jews, hate Catholics, hate Protestants, hate other races, you are witnessing a return to the primitive mind." There has been a wonderful increase in the vehemence and the growing character of race and religious prejudice since the World War. The United States has led the Nations in spreading the prejudice, with which the Nation has become thoroughly indicted. Great Britain, catching the contagion, has adopted race laws as a policy of government in its colonies and Dominions, guiding by social and economic legislation to enalave the oppressed ethnic peoples over whom it has secured rule, by THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. JUNE 18. 1987 We all should school ourselves to expect reverses and grief at any period in our lives and know that we are not the only sufferers. How often one hears this remark, "I don't think any one has it as hard as I do." This is a self-pitying remark and untrue; no matter how you suffer there are millions more of God's creatures who suffer in the same degree, though their cause of suffering may differ. If this knowledge is any comfort to you, then be comforted. Misfortune and grief are the testers of our true character. These incidents either bring out the best in us or the worst in us. It depends on whether we meet and overcome our difficulties, or slump under them and lose the respect of our fellow men and the love of the Almighty Creator. Let not your neighbors avoid you because you always have a hard-luck story to tell or bathed in tears, but strive always to show a calm exterior, thereby you will command their respect and gain their sympathy. Keep your mind occupied, so that you will have no time to become morbid, and let your misfortunes be stepping stones to greater things. Remember: FIRST WORLD MAP PLACED ON VIEW WASHINGTON.—A reproduction of the first map showing the conception of the world in the mind of astronomers and map makers following the startling discoveries of Christopher Columbus in 1492 has been added to the collection of the Library of Congress. It gives a crude but rather accurate picture of the world as it is known today. The map was designed by Giovanni Matteo Contarini and engraved by Francesco Roselli in 1666. The original is in the British Museum in London. The reproduced map as received by the library was accompanied by a description and notes by J. A. J. de Villiers. The treatment of the New World was designed from the discoveries not only of Columbus but of those who followed him before the year 1666. The map perhaps constituted the first graphic representation of current ideas of the New World. The plan simply was to add a representation of the New World to a representation of the Old World as understood by the famous Alexandrian geographer Chandran Polemy, who lived in the second century. The title of the map translated from the Latin rendu, "The geography of Polemy to 100 degrees, with the addition of the other hemisphere in the same order, also on a plane of 100 degrees, and if by folding together this two sets of degrees you form them into a circle you will perceive the whole spherical world combined into 100 degrees. Made known by the industry of Giovanni Michele Centeral and by the art and ingenuity of Francesco Renzoli of Florence in 1503." subterfuge or conquest. The English speaking Nations have adopted it as a policy that the African and Asiatic peoples are inferior to them and incapable of self-government, and that in some way they have a Divine right to subjugate and rob them. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is opposed to any such doctrine and is determined to oppose it to the end of the chapter. We demand fair play for the Negro in Africa under whatever European flag he may be forced to live, and we advocate the developing of an African State by Africans in Africa for Africans. As matters now stand, it is the policy of the European overlords to deny the Negroes in their colonies any participation in the government and to prescribe for them a social and economic status which amounts to a form of slavery. The tendency in the British colonies and Dominions is distinctly along these degrading lines. Unless the Negroes organize and oppose this degrading tendency, and they are so organizing in South Africa, they will be exterminated—by starvation if not by the sword. It is a time of trouble for the Negro everywhere and he must help himself as never before or perish. That is plain enough. We have a mind that he does not want to perish and will rather fight for his place in the sun. He should. PEONAGE IN THE SOUTH A DISGRACE TO THE NATION THE Federal jury at Athens, Ga., has just failed to indict Dr. W. R. King, a white farmer, of peonage, although the evidence as reported in the New York World appears to us strong enough to have warranted conviction. The man, James Felton, who escaped from the farm to Danville, Va., where he told of his enforced servitude and bad treatment, and taking part in the murder by King of five Negroes, after being taken to Athens and showing the officials the place where the murdered men are said to have been buried, was returned to Danville as mysteriously as he had been spirited to Athens, but he was not called as a witness by the Federal jury and the alleged burying place of the murdered five as pointed out by him was not investigated. It looks as if the Federal jury had whitewashed Dr. King. The facts should be got by those interested in breaking up peonage practices and it is hoped the Department of Justice will get the facts. In The Negro World of June 4 we published a letter on peonage in the Mississippi Delta which we reproduce here, as it is only by publicity that peonage abuses can be brought to the attention of the authorities. Our correspondent said: There must be some way to stop the horrible practice of peonage as it is practiced by the whites in the Mississippi delta. If one is to judge by the conditions now existing, there are many Negroes who hardly know that they are free. Negroes are practically held in bondage as the servants and laborers of the whites. If a man wants to change his place, he is not allowed to take anything with him except his clothes. It does not matter how long he has worked or what he has accumulated, all must be left behind. If a Negro appears who tries to enlighten the others, he either disappears over night or he is arrested and put into jail. Thus, those who would bring light to their brothers are silenced. It is the duty of the Negro in the North to agitate until this condition is thoroughly exposed, and perhaps a remedy will come with publicity. A MEMBFR OF THE U. N. I. A. Gulifort, Miss. Those who know the facts in any specific peonage case should write them out and see that the statement is placed in the hands of some reliable person or organization which in turn would see that it was brought to the attention of the Federal Department of Justice. It is dangerous business, exposing peonage abuses, but the only way to get at them and stamp them out is to expose them. MOBOCRATS CAN BE HELD AT BAY BY SHOOTING THEM OF late years the State of Florida has taken front rank as a mob center and a peonage prison camp sanctioner and defender. It has shown little disposition to hold the mob to account for its acts or to punish those who make slaves of such as are held to service by law with the sanction of the State authorities. The State on this account has lost its good name and reputation with good people everywhere. There are little signs here and there that the disgrace of it is being felt by the Governor and others in authority. The New York World has done a very great deal to uncover the moral nakedness of Justice Blindfolded in Florida, as far as its mob and peonage sins are concerned. But the mob can be restrained and held in check in Florida, as it can be anywhere else, if the proper argument is used. And what is the proper argument? The sheriff of Hillsborough county, in Florida, gave it to his deputies when a mob beseiged the jail bent on lynching B. F. Levins, a white fisherman, who confessed to the killing of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Merrell and three of their children, as well as the killing of a white family of four last summer—"Shoot to kill!" commanded the sheriff; and they did so shoot, killing five and wounding two score of the mob. And that sort of argument convinced the mob that it had better call off the lynching and go home. Now, we shall see how the sheriff of the county handles the mob when the lynching of a Negro in Florida is attempted. The black offender deserves the same protection of the law and trial by a jury of his peers that the white one deserves and they should each get it, as the murderous Levins got it in Hillsborough county. HEALTH TOPICS writing or painting for a hobby Women who are not keeping house may prefer some kind of needlework or domestic art of some kind. By DR. M. ALICK ASSERSON Of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association But get a hobby of some kind. You will find it pleasant rest from your regular work. It will help keep you contented and happy. You will get a lot of fun out of it, and, moreover, if you get the right kind of a hobby, you will learn from it and broaden your horizon. Hobbies for Health It has been said that "hobbies are lifesavers." They certainly are a great help in keeping well. We all need rest and recreation as much as we need food, fresh air and sunlight. Hobbies take our minds off our regular work and therefore give rest and recreation to our minds and nervous systems. We should all cultivate some kind of hobby. PARIS—Paris Americans are all worked up over a book about Christopher Columbus by a Provenal poet and historian, Marine Andre. Andu tried to upset all the accepted theories of the great Glosson, but his readers don't quite know whether they ought to take the author seriously. In choosing yours, select one which is entirely different from the work you do regularly. That is, if you are engaged in an office and are obliged to spend a great deal of your time sitting at a desk, choose a hobby that will take you out in the open, if possible. Golf, tennis, skating and various kinds of sports might be chosen. If you are interested in birds or plants that study will make a good hobby. Visit museums to see various kinds. When spring arrives, go to the country and search for those you want to see. If you are outdoors most of the time, you may want to choose mosaic or Of course, Columbus didn't discover America, says André, to begin with. But where he becomes really original in the portrait he paints of his hero — or villain. For the author has numerous charges to make against him. Notably, Columbus is made to be a barber and a brainstorm, a more blundering amateur in navigation and a more dealer. Also he was used. "The Busy Have No Time for Tears" This would be an unbalanced world indeed if it were made up of all mirth and laughter, but every man has his "ups and downs," as we are want to call it, his bright days and his dull days, his sorrows and his joy. In fact, we are better able to appreciate happiness if we have tasted misfortune for perpetual happiness would indeed become monotonous and commonplace if at times we did not feel the sting of grief, or the burden of earthly cares. Buffering creates sympathy, for he who feels, knows and blesses his fellow man with his understanding heart. How soothing it is to a sufferer to hear one say, "My dear, I know exactly how you feel, as I have had the same trouble." So sorrow is cheered by a heart that responds to another's anguish or pain. But there are countless of us who suffer alone and uncomforted, being too proud to let the world know and too heroic to burden others with additional cares. To suffer in silence and alone is great anguish, but there are some persons who would rather do this than fish for sympathy and find none, or have one's troubles belittled or relayed to the coarse and vulgar. This only tends to add humiliation to anguish. If one must find an outlet for one's woes, it is much safer to go for a brisk walk in a park, garden, or some lonely wayside, away from crowds, and there commune with nature. Summon your better self to chide the weaker; reason within yourself whether resignation to grief or misfortune is not the act of a coward, who is afraid to fight life's battles; decide your case as if you were advising a stranger, and ask God for strength and the will to carry out your resolve, then return to your home work refreshed in spirit and triumphant over your weaker self. Unless our weakness apprehend it so. We cannot be more faithful to ours- selves. In anything that's manly, than to make Ill fortune as contemptible to us As it makes us to others. From the New York Sun Speaking at the dedication of the Soldiers Monument at Concord in 1897, Ralph Waldo Emerson said: "The world is equal to itself. The second architecture of things begins to describe itself; the fact that all things were made on a basis of right; that justice is really desired by all intelligent beings; that appeasion to it is against the nature of things; and that whatever may happen in this hour or that, the years and the centuries are always pulling down the wrong and building up the right." As the years roll by those who misconstrue the good intentions of Marcus Garvey because of the manner in which he attempts to demonstrate the practicality of his program for higher emancipation, will realise that he is not half as dangerous and repellent as they assume, and will readily give him the palms he has so justly woken. Already, the mists are being rolled away and Garvey is coming into his own. Sage weeks ago the "Detroit Independent" carried an interesting editorial entitled "Marcus Garvey" in which the opinion was strongly expressed that he should be released from prison. Then came the "Chicago Whip" with a friendly appeal to the nation under the caption "Help Marcus Garvey," followed by "The Norfolk Journal & Guide" which kept up the spirit with the editorial, "Marcus Garvey Should Be Pardoned." Now comes "The Atlanta Independent" with another vigorous appeal entitled "The Whip Outlines the Land." The Independent says: "It takes a brave soldier like Joe Bibb to step out in the open and do what many of us dare not do. That Marcus Garvey is largely a martyr to the cause he represented is generally accepted by the Race as a fact. Thousands of us do not believe in the physical, or even the mental possibility of Mr. Garvey's plans, notions and visions, yet we concede to him honesty of purpose, and do not believe that he is a criminal. He may have erred and technically violated some federal statute, but to believe that he, with criminal intent, violated any rule of the government, we believe not. Marcus Garvey is a wonderful character, and will go down in history as marking an epoch in the life of the Race . . . it must be conceded that he aroused a racial consciousness among the darker people of the world that no other one man ever aroused. That he has been sufficiently punished for whatever crimes he may have committed against our government, the public is generally convinced, and that he should be released, pardoned or paroled is the consensus of opinion in the public mind . . . whether he was guilty or not guilty is not the question now . . . We learn that he is in a serious condition; that his health is fastly failing him, and why should not the Negro press, under the leadership of Editor Bibb, pray for his release, as the white press is praying for the release of former Governor McCrary of Indiana, who was convicted of defrauding the public of millions? Let us get together. Let us take the case of Mr. Garvey to the Department of Justice, and demand of it, under our constitutional right to petition, that Garvey be released, and that he not be deported, but permitted to live in our country, serve his Race and his God as he has the light and the conscience to discover his duty." This is as it should be. A gallant and inspiring spirit in comparison with that of the past. On May 15th, after a healthy discussion of his program by its "Literary Forum," the St. James A. M. E. Church, Rev. Dr. D. O. Walker, pastor, of Cleveland, Ohio, sent a telegram to President Cooldire requesting that executive clemency be extended to Mr. Garvey. The Press and the Pulpit are the bulwarks of civilization. When they speak on any subject the world listens; when they are silent the world is silent. It is pleasing to see them awakening, even at this late hour, to the importance of the man Garvey and his program for racial solidarity. But with all that they have said about him and his program the press and the pulpit have failed to point out the real danger which lies ahead. It is this: Any Negro with his vision, any organization with its program, attempting to lift the race from the depths of racial stagnation to the heights of national entity, will reap no loss in treatment at the hands of our oppressors than Garvey and the U. N. L. A. reaped. Hence, for our press and pulpit to remain silent where the release of Garvey is concerned to make the road so much harder for those to follow after him. Marcus Garvey is a Negro, imprisoned because of his love for and confidence in Negroes. If, as some believe, his imprisonment is a disgrace, then it is logical to assume that we, too, are disgraced. The Race can rise no higher than the individual, and the individual can rise no higher than the Race. Let us for whom he labors treat Marcus Garvey not as a leaper, but as a man whose faults are our faults, whose weaknesses our weaknesses. He came to us with clean hands and heart. Is it too much for us to return the compliment? Walked Away from Prejudice Meet the man who walked away from prejudice. William Granville is his name, 101 years old. Of courage bold, possessing extraordinary will power for one of his years, our hero, a refugee of the raging Mississippi walked from Little Rock, Ark., to Norfolk, Va. There is enough glory in the world for all who dare and achieve. Granville the Negro who walked away from the lawlessness of Arkansas is as brave as Lindbergh the white man who faced the fury of the Atlantic; and his feat is as brilliant. Arkansas the bell-hole of mobocracy could not retain the declining frame of William Granville, nor could the angry Mississippi daunt his manly spirit. And as our hero trukked from Little Rock to Norfolk, who knows but that in the silence of the starry night and the sunshine of sustaining day, angelic hands piloted him the way? Where is the youth that is disconsolate and dismayed? Let him find inspiration and renewed courage in the sublime soul of William Granville, the man who walked away from prejudice. Let us acclaim this father of our own even as we acclaim Byrd, Amundsen, Lindbergh, Chamberlin and other heroes of the air. Preserve Negro History In February, 1926, an appeal was made to our patriotism to raise $20,000 for the perpetuation of Negro History. We are now informed by Dr. Carter Woodson, brilliant historian, and the power behind the campaign, that only three states have raised their allotment to date, and only $6,294.27 of the amount asked for has been raised. This is an astounding revelation. Millions of useless churches, millions for white-controlled theatres, dance halls, cabarets, and industries, millions to the Jews for fine clothes, millions to white insurance companies and banks in whose corporate body no Negro presides; millions for the frivolities of life, but not twenty thousand dollars to perpetuate the glory and splendor of our past and present achievements. Where is our pride, our love of self, our conception of vision and intelligence? Twenty thousand dollars for Negro history—a mere pittance compared with the greater wealth it would serve to preserve. History is the guide post of the ages. The past is hallowed by it, the present is inspired by it, the future profits by it. Are not the races, nations and empires of today the reincarnation of the past? Out of Christianity came the Salvation Army; Washington, London, Paris, they are but the Rome, Carthage, and Babylon of yesterday. Because Napoleon and Columbus were, Museolini and Lindberg are. History is precious. Its place in the affairs of men, races and nations is impregnable. The Negro rightly demands life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness—but a race that doesn't know where it came from doesn't know where it is going; and it is dangerous for such a race to possess these virtues minus this important compass. If we are incompetent to preserve our own history then we have no claim to be called men. Twenty thousand dollars is a small matter. Let's multiply it by ten and demonstrate our loyalty to Africa and the race by oversubscribing it. To fall in this particular endeavor is to suffer a defeat that may be more profound than we now imagine. Conquest by Poetry (From the Southern Workman) for the same honora. The fact is immediately significant. It is hostile to lynching and to timerewing. Conquest by Poetry (From the Southern Workman) The Negro is today singing himself into the respect of the world; not with the precious old slave spirituals, exciting compassion, but with new songs that win admiration and disarm prejudice. Not alone by farm holdings and bank accounts nor by banks and insurance companies, though good; not alone by fulminating editorials and protecting memorials, though necessary; not alone by speeches and sermons, but by poems, may freedom be achieved—freedom and that respect for self and race which every living soul accounts the chief oble of life. More and more difficult is the task of evaluating or describing the literary output of the young Negro writers of the day. It is too various for easy generalization. There are too many strongly differentiated artworks. The time has therefore come for artificial usage upon individual creators. This is to say a great deal, by imitation, on the subject of recent Negro achievement in literature.

Y. PROF. M. A. FIGUEROA, Editor Lo que nuestro leader desearía que hicieran en su beneficio. Demandemos con insistencia el practicismo de la justicia. No appeleemos humillamente por misericordia. Estamos convencidos de la inocencia del gran leader de la raza. El mas grande de los leaders que esta época ha producido, se encuentra hoy recluido entre las cuatro paredes de una prisión. Millones de negros irian en transportes de deleite infinito, si este heróico hijo de Africa saliera de su confinamiento en Atlanta, hecho un hombre libre de toda persecusión mezquina. Nuestro elemento se regocijaria porque el espectro y la real tragedia que completan el estado de decaimiento y pobreza de salud del Hon. Marcus Garvey, fuesen removidos por una orden dada desde su alta posición ejecutiva por el Presidente de la nación. Pero el ardiente deseo de tener entre nosotros devuelto a nuestro leader, no debe ser causa para que contribamos nuestro juicio, distraigamos nuestra visión o desviemos nuestras mente de lo fundamental en el asunto. En nuestro esfuerzo por adquirir la libertad de Marcus Garvey, estaremos seguros de no hacer nada que subsecuentemente tengamos que rectificar o que intercepte a nuestro héroe en la continuación de su obra redentora en los años venideros. Las apelaciones hechas a las autoridades recientemente, en pro de la liberación de nuestro gran leader, todas ellas han tomado el aspecto de un grito humillante de misericordia. Aparte del hecho de que este mundo endurecido en que vivimos, ignora y se burla de los que suplican de rodillas, excepto en los casos de catástrofe en que todos nos encontrremos amenazados, podemos decir que estamos perdiendo terreno desviándonos del punto de mira, nos estamos conpronietiendo y con ello compromentemos a Marcus Garvey y a nuestra causa; estamos haciendo las cosas que el mismo Garvey no desearia que hicieramos, cuando pensamos que implorando por el pedimos misericordia. Pero no hay tal cosa en lo que a clemencia y misericordia respecta, cuando invocamos y pedimos algo para nuestro leader, sino JUSTICIA y nada mas que JUSTICIA. Un perdon, si, aprontado por consideraciones justicieras; pero no un perdon que salte por encima de lo intrínsico de la causa que demandamos, y sea concedido el mismo por mero capricho de la misericordia. Cuando Marcus Aurelio Garvey se puso frente a sus tormentadores en la Corte Federal en la ciudad de Nueva York hace cuatro años, al cerrarse la vista de su caso, sus labios no encerraron ninguna adulación, ni mucho menos una oración convencional pidiendo misericordia. "No pido clemencia sino justicia, justicia, justicia," dijo a los jueces blancos mirándoles directamente en el rostro. Y dos años y cuatro meses de estar aspirando el miasmático aire de la prisión, no ha sido causa para el autor de tan hombruna declaración, retractarse de lo expuesto. Las mal guidas apelaciones de muy buenos intencionados amigos y patrocinadores de su causa, así como las lamentables peticiones de misericordia hechas en su favor, le causan mayor agonia y tormento que todo el veneno y la malicia que envuelve la persecusión. Marcus Garvey no ha hecho ningun mal; mucho menos es culpable de ningun crimen en contra de la humanidad. En su determinado atento de rectificar los graves errores hecholes a su raza y noblemente buscar una via hacia el respeto y el poder, el no encontró sino zarzas y espinas a su paso, que lastimasen las callosidades de los poderosos. Así, pues, fue marcado para el castigo y Atlanta fue su calvario. Pronto, según el tiempo lo reconozca, el será puesto en libertad; y seria mejor que sirviese quince meses mas en la carcel, antes que los hermanos de su raza dieran muestra de que se le pudiera tildar de algun mal o de algun hecho criminoso por su parte. No es misericordia, repetimos, lo que debemos invocar en favor de Marcus Garvey, sino JUSTICIA. Su preciosa vida ha sido seriamente amenazada por el continuo confinamiento en que se encuentra, y ningun negro verdad puede pararse con los brazos cruzados, complacentemente, y ver venir impávido la crisis que se aproxima. Seamos dignos y sensibles en los métodos que usemos para recavar su inmediata libertad. Debemos, pues, hacerle conocer al mundo que NOSOTROS sabemos y realizamos que Marcus Garvey no es ningun criminal, sino mas bien un gran maestro y benefoctor de la raza negra. Descansando en el pleno convencimiento que tenemos de la verdad y siendo honrados con nosotros mismos y con los demas, demandamos justicia y nada mas que justicia, en vez de misericordia. HAVE YOUR CHILDREN TRAINED ALONG RACE LINES THE NIGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 18, 2027 The H. ADOLPH HOWELL ESTAB. 2332 Seventh Avenue, corner 137th Street SEND IN YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS FOR UNIVERSITY! Spanish Section Ante la Corte Federal de la ciudad de Athena en el estado de Georgia, ha sido presentado el caso seguido contra el doctor W. R. King, acusado de psonaje. En su propriedad agricola trabajaban un gran número de obreros de la raza, bajo la preaion de las amenazas de muerte o de castigos corporales, si incurrián en el desafecto de sus capataces. La vista de la causa dio comienzo con la testificación de varias personas, mientras el fiscal preparaba la acusación contra King, por haber obligado a Beny Dorsey a trabajar sin renumeración alguna. Apesar de las gestiones del abogado defensor para negar los cargos en contra de King, uno de los testigos relato tal historia de crueldades que obligaron a las autoridades del estado hacer una investigación minuciosa de los hechos. Otro de los testigos, Jaime Felton, declaró que el y unos circuenta compañeros trabajaban en la finca de King bajo guardia armada, que cinco de ellos habían sido asciinados y que el logro escaparse, despues de haber trabajado alli por espacio de un año. Los esposos Arwood declararon que ellos habian sido amenazados con la carelce, si intentaban abandonar a la finca de King. Este les habia prometido un sueldo de un peso y veinte y cinco centavos diarios, de lo cual solo percibieron la manutención y veinte y cinco centavos en una ocasion. Otro de los trabajadores, Ramón Tyler, manifesto que el y cuatro mas habian sido despojados de sus vestidos y castigados como animales por King y uno de sus capataces. J. M. Nicholson testifico que el habia presenciado el castigo. Santo Domingo y su Constitución Se ha instalado oficialmente en Santo Domingo la amblea constituyente, con el objeto de considerar las proyectos enmiendas a la constitución. El tema vital es la prorrogua por dos años del actual presidente de la nación. Segun la constitución, el periodo presidencial es de cuatro años, los que se cumplen el año entrante. Los prorroguistas se basan para gestionar la prorrogua en la interpretación que dan al artículo 194 de la constitución, el cual dice: Ninguna reforma que aumente o restrinja las atribuciones de algún cuerpo o funcionario público o la duración de su ejercicio, tendrá efecto antes del respectivo periodo constitucional siguiente a aquél en el cual se ha hecho la reforma. Varios prorroguistas del partido nacional, que sostienen al presidente, manifestan que como el partido está en el poder, no estando organizados otros, es a este partido a quien en definitiva corresponde dictaminar y entonces recuerdan que seguir propuesta de la Alianza Nacional Progresista y de la Coalición Patriótica de Ciudadanos, consta en los archivos de la Junta Electoral que fijaron el periodo de seis años. El actual presidente de la nación siempre se mostró energicamente opuesto a toda infracción de la carta fundamental y cuando se le preguntó en varias ocasiones sobre la reelección, se manifestó terminantemente opuesto a ella. Average Canadian Ate 337 Ergs Last Year OTTAWA, Ont.-Canadians hold the world record for eating eggs. Last year the average Canadian ate 227 eggs—a record, said Dr. J. H. Grisdale, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, addressing a local service club; adding that this fact, if nothing else, justified the holding of the World Poultry Congress in this country.

T. De Mena. En su visita a las antes dichas divisiones, la distinguida dama no solamente supo captarse la simpatía de los oficiales y miembros de las mismas, sino que despertó en sumo grado el espíritu en cuanto al propósito de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra respecta. La incansable luchadora en pro del reconocimiento del derecho y el enaltecimiento del negro, en su pegrinación por al extranjero no desmayó ante los rigores del tiempo ni la asperaza del camino, predicando de ciudad en ciudad, de villa en villa, de aldea en aldea, el sacrosanto evangelio de una raza emancipada y de una patria redimida. El Negro World da la bienvenida a la ilustre dama en reconocimiento de su labor redentora, de su determinación incuestionable y de su lealtad para con la causa que tesoneramente defende. Xerxes Used Odd Method To Count His Soldiers Xerxes, the Persian King, used an odd method to count his soldiers before the battle of Thermopylae in 480 B. C. He had the greatest army of invasion that ever had been seen upon the earth when he moved against the Greeks, in the Detroit News. He wanted to know how many fighters there were, so he had 10,000 of them counted and they were huddled into a dense a mass as possible and a wall was built around the space they occupied. Then the whole army entered the enclosure in detachments so that the number of times it was filled, multiplied by 10,000 was approximately the total of the invading forces. This figure, according to Herodotus, was 1,700,000 foot soldiers and $0,000 cavalry. With attendants and the sailors and soldiers of the fleet added he brought the total up to $2,17,000.

Magazine Section Story Said to Make of Science a Fairy Tale—Dry Climate of Egypt Did Much to Preserve the Mummies BY HARRY HANSEN In the New York World No one will ever pick up Howard Carter's story of "The Tomb of Tutankhamen" without expecting an excursion into archaeology, and no one will ever put it down without being convinced that it is a thrilling mystery story. For here is an excellent example of the service scientific men have rendered the general public in coming down to earth and speaking in terms that can be understood by the reader who is not a specialist. The two books by Howard Carter on the great discoveries in the Valley of the Kings show that learning need never be remote and snobbish. The new volume—the second—published within the last few weeks by the George H. Doran Company, has been written by Carter, but contains appendices by Douglas E. Derby, A. Lucan, P. E. Newberry, Alexander Scott and B. J. Penderleith; there are also 153 illustrations from photographs by Harry Burton of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The latter bring the whole process of discovery very close to the reader. He can follow the archaeologists into the tomb; observe how the walls were broken down and the shrine uncovered; how the various doors were opened, and the coffins removed; then every detail of the unwrapping of the mummy is pictured, together with illustrations of objects found thereon, as well as of the many precious works of art uncovered in the burial chamber. The author then describes their position, their composition and their probable use, so that the record is not solely one of discovery but becomes also something of a history of manners. That these rich objects were deposited and this tomb sealed in the days when England was a wood of wild men, when boars roamed the site of Lutetia and Gothic spires were as far in the future as the religion they were to house, is almost forgotten when one reads this account. In those days, when the age of iron was just about to invade Egypt, skilled craftsmen fashioned wonderful vases of translucent calcite, cups of feline, carved stones embellished with gold and ivory. We can follow in these pages the experiments to ascertain the values of the fats found in the cosmetic jar—better yet, to learn what substance had withstood the passing of 2,000 years. The care with which the funeral pall was removed and the fragments of flowers picked up, the pains taken by the investigators to preserve every bit of the four shrines and sarcophagi just as they had been left by the old Egyptians who placed them in this chamber, becomes clear upon reading how the work was done. Science was interested in what was gold and what was gilt; the alloys were determined; the resinous substances were analyzed. The mystery of the black anointing material becomes a fascinating study; we observe the scientists attempting to rid Women, Weak, Tired or who suffer ovarian pain, pains in the lower part of the stomach, bearing-down pains, female weakness, headaches, backache, menicholchia, dependency, nausea, vomiting, sneezing and indefinite pains, white painful or irregular periods, should write to Mrs. Ellen McGill, should write to Mrs. Ellen McGill.

THE BIGGEST THING IN THE LIFE OF THE NORROR the gold coin of this thick black pitch-like product; Seally producing this result by heating with great precautions against injuring the microchip; and we can wonder whether the ancients would have used this injurious oil if they had known how it would damage their handwork. Howard Carter's story of the violence done to most of the great Egyptian tombs—none of which was found intact before that of Tutankhamen was opened—reveals how man in the course of time has been the destroyer of his own records. Nature has done less than man. The tomb of Tutankhamen was a minor affair, yet exceedingly rich in treasure for posterity; what then must have been the original contents of the great tombs of rulers like Ramesses? We shall never know, for robbers entered the tombs again and again in the course of the centuries, carrying away all the objects of any value, depriving us of a marvelous record of ancient art. The preservation of bodies in old Egyptian cemeteries seems to have been due entirely to the dryness of the air. Prof. Douglas E. Derby explains that although the Egyptians reached a high stage of perfection in exhancing. the dry climate of Egypt did mean to preserve mummies, even when the bodies had not been opened nor the intestines removed. The heat and the sand in which the poor were buried tended to preserve them, so that Egypt attained results that could not possibly have been reached in other hands. French Have World's Largest Flying Boat The world's largest flying boat, built by the French government, has been completed at a cost of $450,000, and pronounced a success after numerous flights. Five air-cooled engines—two on either side at the edge of the wings and the fifth in the bow of the hull—give the plane a total horsepower of 2,100. The wings measure 121 feet 2 inches, with a maximum wing thickness of 5 feet 10 inches. Twenty-two men can be safely carried aloft, says the Indianapolis News. E WHITE MAN'S GAME; HIS VANITY FAIR "Black and white are proportionately bad as well as proportionately good, living under the same conditions and environments of our imperfect civilization. "All beauty, virtue and goodness are the exclusive attributes of no one race. All humanity have their shortcomings; hence no statement of mine at any time must be interpreted as a wholesale praise of, or attack upon, any race, people or creed." --- THE WHITE diti shon upo (1) (1) Lying and stealing is the whiteman's game; For rights of God nor man he has no shame (A practice of his throughout the whole world) At all, great thunderbolts he has hurled; He has stolen everywhere—land and sea; A Succaneer and pirate he must be, Killing all, as he roams from place to place, Leaving disease, mongrels—moral disgrace. (2) The world's history of him is replete, From his javelin-bolt to new-built fleet: Hosts he has robbed and crushed below; Of friend and neighbor he has made a foe. From our men and women he made the slave, Then boastingly he calls himself a brave; Cowardly, he steals on his trusting prey, Killing in the dark, then shouts he hurrah! (3) Not to go back to time pre-historic. Only when men in Nature used to frolic. And you will find his big, long murder-list. Showing the plunderings of his mailed fist; Africa, Asia and America Tell the tale in a mournful replica How tribesmen, Indians and Zulus fell Flossing the murdering bandit pell mell. (4) American Indian tribes were free, Sporting, dancing, and happy as could be; Asia's bored lived then a life their own; To civilization they would have grown; Africa's millions laughed with the sun. In the cycle of man a course to run; In stepped the white man, bloody and grim. The light of these people's freedom to dim. (5) Coolies of Asiatics they quickly made, In Africa's blacks they built a world trade, The Red Indians they killed with the gun, All else of men and beasts they put to run; Blood of murderer Cain is on their head, Of man and beast they mean to kill dead; A world of their own is their greatest aim. For which Yellow and Black are well to blame. (6) Out of cold old Europe these white men came, From caves, dense and holes, without any fame, Eating their dead's flesh and sucking their blood, Relics of the Mediterranean flood; Literature, science and art they stole, After Africa had measured each pole, Asia taught them what great learning was, Now they frown upon what the Coolie does. (7) They have stolen, murdered, on their way here, Leaving desolation and waste everywhere; Now they boastingly tell what they have done, Seeing not the bloody crown they have won; Millions of Blacks died in America, Coolies, peons, serfs, too, in Asia; Upon these dead bones Empires they builted, Parceling out crowns and coronets gilded. (8) Trifling with God's Holy Name and Law, Mixing Christ's religion that had no flaw, They have dared to tell us what is right, In language of death-bullets, gas and might. Only with their brute force they hold us down, Men of color, Yellow, Red, Black and Brown: Not a fair chance give they our men to rise, Christian liars we see in their eyes. (9) With the Bible they go to foreign lands, Taking Christ and stealth in different hands; Making of God a mockery on earth, When of the Holy One there is no dearth: They say to us: "You, sirs, are the heathen, "We your brethren—Christian fellowmen, "We come to tell the story of our God"; When we believe, they give to us the rod. (01). After our confidence they have thus won, From our dear land and treasure we must run; Story of the Bible no more they tell, For our souls redeemed we could go to hell. Oil, coal and rubber, silver and gold, They have found in wealth of our lands untold; Both, they claim the name of our country, all, All on they make then their real foot-ball. (11) My hand we happen to terry, my then become and and sorry, my man's country they say it is, that, gas and shall, they prove it his: who do who love the Greatest Lord, who, watch and with His Holy word: that thing we know to be true, that against the white man with his dam. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 1937 From "Philosophy and Opinions," Vol. II. Copyright 1925. (12) This Christ they killed on Calvary's Cross, After His Person around they did toss: White men the Savior did crucify, For eyes not blue, but blood of Negro tie; Now they worship Him in their churches great, And of the Holy Ghost they daily prate; "One God" they say, enough for all mankind, When in slavery the Blacks they entwined. (13) Their churches lines of demarcation draw; In the name of Christ there is no such law, Yet Black and White they have separated, A Jim Crow God the preachers operated, Then to Heaven they think they will all go. When their consciences pught to tell them NO. God is no respecter of persons great, So each man must abide his earthly fate. (14) We'd like to see the white man converted, And to right and justice be devoted; Continuing in land-values to lie and steal, Will bring destruction down upon his heel. All that the other races want, I see, Is the right to liberty and be free; This the selfish white man doesn't want to give; He alone, he thinks, has the right to live. (15) There shall be a bloody mix-up everywhere; Of the white man's plunder we are aware: Men of color the great cause understand, Unite they must, to protect their own land. No fool's stand on argument must we make; Between Heaven and earth an oath we take: "Our lands to deliver from foreign foes, Caring not of trials and maudlin woes." (16) The privilege of men to protect home Was established before the days of Rome. Many galiant races fought and died, Alien hordes in triumph thus defied. Carthage did not crush Ancient Greece For their believing in the Golden Fleece. No other race shall kill the sturdy Blacks If on their tribal gods we turn our backs. (17) From Marathon, Tours, Blenheim and the Marne A braver courage in man has been born; Africans died at Thermopylae's Pass, Standing firm for Persia—men of Brass. The Black Archers of Ethiopia stood At Marathon, proving their stern manhood; Senegalese held their own at Verdun, Even though their praises are not now sung. (18) In the Americas' modern warfare The Blacks have ever borne their share; With Cortez, Washington, too, and the rest, We did for the others our truthful best; At St. Domingo we struck a clear blow To show which way the wind may one day go. Toussaint L'Ouverture was our leader then, At the time when we were only half-men. (19) Italians, Menelik put to chase, Beating a retreat in uneven haste; So down the line of history we come, Black, courtly, courageous and handsome. No fear have we today of any great men From Napoleon back to Genghis Khan; All we ask of men is "Give a square deal." Returning to others same right we feel. (20) With a past brilliant, noble and grand, Black men march to the future hand in hand; We have suffered long from the white man's greed, Perforce he must change his unholy creed. Stealing, bullying and lying to all Will drag him to ignominious fall; For men are wise—yes, no longer are fools, To have grafters make of them still cheap tools. (21) Each race should be proud and stick to its own. And the best of what they are should be shown; This is no shallow song of hate to sing. But over Blacks there should be no white king. Every man on his own foothold should stand, Claiming a nation and a Fatherland! White, Yellow and Black should make their own laws, And force no one-sided justice with slaws. (22) Man will bear so much of imposition, Till he starts a righteous inquisition. History teaches this as a true fact, Upon this promise all men do act. Scouter or inter each people take their stand To fight against the strong, oppressive hand; This in God's plan, raising men to power, As over sin and greed He makes him tower. MARCUS GARVEY: not learnt, but. sept, Heaven sun; hut. was shut. Like arose March w Trumpher As scatter Heaven w "Oh Brave Rally to t As Cheru This trite lesson the white man has not learnt, Waiting until he gets his fingers burnt. Milleniums ago, when white men slept, The great torch of light Asia kept. Africa at various periods shone Above them all as the bright noonday sun; Coming from the darkened cave and hut. The white man opened the gate that was shut. Gradually light bore down upon him, This ancient savage who was once dim; When he commenced to see and move around, He found the book of knowledge on the ground; Centuries of wonder and achievements Were cast before him in God's compliments; But, like the rest, he has now fallen flat. And must in the Lord's cycle yield for that. ber, w, now: kingdom— or Somme, this much, This is a f White man There is s If you will Stop your And settle If not, pre As God an We shall always be our brother's keeper, Is the injunction of the Redeemer; Love and tolerance we must ever show, If in Grace Divine we would truly grow: This is the way clear to God's great kingdom— Not by the death-traps of Argonne or Somme, When the terrible white man learns this much, He will save even the African Dutch. South Africa has a grave problem now In reducing the Negro to the plow; White men are to live in their lazy ease, While the patience of the goodly natives tease; They make new laws to have Africa white Precipitating righteous and ready fight: Around the world they speak of being so just, Yet, in fact, no lone white man can you trust. "And now valiant Black men of the west Must ably rise to lead and save the rest": This is the ringing call Africa sounds, As throughout the Godly wild it resounds; Clansmen! black, educated, virile and true! Let us prove too that we are loyal blue. We must win in the blessed fight of love, Trusting on the Maker of men above Wrong shall ne'er triumph over sacred right, Even though white men force it by their might! The Christian world is yet to be saved! Man, since the risen Christ has not behaved! Wanton, reckless, wicked, he still remains, Causing grief, sorrow, tears and human pains! Can we show the Godly light to anyone Seeking for earnest truth while marching on? If so, friend, let us tell you now and here, For love, freedom, justice let's all prepare! God in His Glorious Might is coming, Wonderful signs He is ever showing, Unrest, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods and storms Are bue revelations of Heavenly Forms: The proud white scientist thinks he is wise But the Black man's God comes in true disguise, God is sure in the rumbling earthquake, When He is ready, the whole world will shake. (23) (24) (25) (26) (27) In Australia the same they have done. And so, wherever man's confidence won: This they call the religion of the Christ. And upon their willing slave try to foist. Only a part of the world can you fool. And easily reduce to your foot-stool; The other one-half is always awake. And from it you cannot liberty take. (28) (29) (30) (31) The Armageddon is gathering now; The sign is on every oppressed man's brow; The whites who think they are ever so smart Do not know other men can play their part: When the opportune time is almost here Black, Yellow and Brown will be evrywhere, In union of cause they'll stand together, And storms of the bully holdly weather. (32) Their gases and shots, and their rays of death, Shall only be child's play—a dream of Seth, For out of the clear, sleeping minds of ages, Wonders shall be written on history's pages: Our buried arts and sciences then shall rise, To show how for centuries we were wise: Silent tongues we hept, by God's true command, Until of us, action, He did demand. (30) Under the compy of Nature's law We shall unitely and bravely draw. On the plains of God's green Amphitheatre, Sworda, in rhythm with Divine Meter: Jehovah's Day will have surely come. With Angelic strains and Symphytus hum: The Guides of Heaven will direct the way, Keeping us from wandering far astray. Like around the high walls of Jericho, March we, as Rio speeds through Mexico: Trumphets loud will the Guiding Angels blow, As scatter the enemy to-and-fro: Heaven will have given us a battle cry: "Oh Brave Soldiers you shall never die": Rally to the command of Heaven's King, As Cherubim to Him your tidings bring. See the deadly clash of arms! Watch! They fall! There is stillness!—It is the funeral pall! A sad requiem now is to be sung! Not by Angels, but in their human tongue! The cruel masters of yest'rday are done! From the fields of battle they have run! A brand new world of justice is to be! "You shall be a true brother unto me!" This is a forecast of God's wrath? White man, will you turn from the evil path? There is still hope for you, among the good, If you will seek the bigger-brotherhood: Stop your tricks, frauds, lying and stealing. And settle down to fair and square dealing; If not, prepare yourself for gloomy hell, As God announces the sorrowing knell. Your lies, to us called diplomacy, Are known by us, a brasen phantasy; You imprison men for crimes not so great, While on your silly wisdom you do prate. The masses are soberly watching you; They know that you are false and so untrue. The laborers of your race you oppress, As well as black and other men you distress. If you were wise you'd read between the lines Of feudal isms and others of old times. Men have fought against ugly royal gods, Burying them 'neath European sods. Such to heartless masters the people do, From Syracuse to bloody Waterloo; Wonderful lessons for any sober man. Who worships not idols or the god Pan. In the vicious order of things today, The poor, suffering black man has no say; The plot is set for one 'gainst the other, With organization they musn't bother. "If one should show his head as a leader, Whom we cannot use, the rest to pilfer, We shall discredit him before his own, And make of him a notorious clown." "In Africa we have plans to match him, While the native Chiefs of their lands we trim; The Blacks schooled in England are too smart, On the I BETTER THAN YOU scheme we'll start, And have them thinking away from the rest; This philosophy for them is best— Easier then we can rob the good lands And make ourselves rich without soiled hands." "We will so keep from them the 'NEGRO WORLD' That no news they'll have of a flag unfurled; Should they smuggle copies in, and we fail, We will send the sly agents all to jail." This is the white man's plan across the I can't this wily and vicious as can be? In other lands they have things arranged Differently, yet they have never changed. In America they have Colored to tell What they know of the rest, whose rights they sell; The Blacks they do try to keep always down, But in time they will reap what they have sown. No Negro's good life is safe in the STATES If he tries to be honest with his mates; In politics he must sell at the polls, To suit the white man in his many roles. The West Indian whites are tricky, too; They have schemes curved like the horse's shoe; There is only one opening for the black— Three other sides are close up to his back; Hence he never gets a chance to look in Whilst staring at the world of mortal sin. Yes, this is the game they play everywhere, Leaving the Negro to gloom and despair. And now, white man, can we reason with you, For each race in the world to give its due? Africa for Africans is most right; Asia for Asiatics is light; To Europe for the Europeans, Asia for the Americans: This is the description of the goodly Klim, Now fighting for the other hem.
