No. 23 Marcus Garvey, In Jail, Revered By Millions Negro Peoples of the World, No Longer Buying Their Convictions Ready-Made from White Newspapers, Know That Marcus Garvey Has Not Wronged Them and Are Determined to Follow Where He Leads in the Crusade Against Tyranny The Negro peoples of the world have spoken in clear and unmistakable language regarding the imprisonment of Hon. Marcus Garvey. They feel that this great crusader for human rights for the Negro has been made the victim of the jealousy and venom of his enemies, personal and otherwise, and those who, for one reason or another, have deemed it their duty to seek to discourage the New Negro, whom Marcus Garvey, created, in his quest for freedom, independence and power. However "diplomatic" it may be regarded in some quarters for Negroes to refrain from speaking the truth, and nothing but the truth, concerning the case of Marcus Garvey, we fail to see how the cause of Negro freedom can be advanced in the slightest by conceding any wrong doing (sic) on Marcus Garvey's part, or by seeking to place a shade over the lamp of African Redemption which he set high upon a hill. It were far better that he serve his full term in prison than that there should be offered, presumably in his behalf, any lying, spineless compromise. Marcus Garvey became enmeshed in the toils of the law, and he was sent to Atlanta penitentiary, but this no more made him a criminal than did the fate which the Carpenter's Son met on Calvary's mount make him an outcast among men. If Jesus, the Christ, were to appear on Manhattan Isle tomorrow and dare, with leather thongs, to chase the "money changers out of the Temple" he would be set upon by paid gunmen even before the ruthless arm of twentieth century civilization caught him up in its fell grasp. Two thousand years ago the Galilean preached the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man, and for that he was harried, spat upon and ultimately crucified. Marcus Garvey, inspired son of Africa, saw his race in travail and woe and sought to save, explaining in language the man in the street may understand the true meaning of the gospel which the Christ taught, and for that he was pilloried by the press, framed by the fearful, maligned by Money's marionettes and consigned to Calvary. He still lives, not the object of pity by a few faithful, but held in the highest esteem by the world of black men whom he has essayed to save and for whom he has been made to suffer the rack. In his exile it is he who can afford to pity his tormentors, the majority of whom are even now showing signs of remorse. Marcus Garvey, in the eyes of the Negroes of the world, has done no wrong. Shout with all your might that his faithless, traitorous lieutenants violated the law (for Marcus Garvey was in the West Indies preaching the gospel of Africa redeemed when the instrument that placed him behind prison bars was fashioned); say, if you must, that Marcus Garvey intended to defraud Negroes when he appealed to Negroes to furnish capital for a steamship company, and your protestations will avail naught. Negroes no longer sleep; they are awake and see and understand. They no longer buy their convictions ready-made from the newspapers. They know that Marcus Garvey is but paying the penalty that great men such as he were made to pay throughout history. The Negro peoples of the world want Marcus Garvey released to them without delay, but they will carry on; it is their duty, it is the path of wisdom, to carry on in the work which he has begun; until Justice awakes and the gates of Atlanta swing open. And no man can with any accuracy say what the morrow will bring forth.—THE EDITORS. Prosecuting Attorney Powerless When Marriage Certificates Is Produced, but Judge Sends Couple to Prison, with a Fine, on "Immorality" Charge NEGRO COMMUNITY IS STIRRED TO ITS DEPTHS Judge Tells Delegation of Ministers He Assumed Woman Defendant Was White, Declaring He Is for "Purity" —"Has No Time to Investigate Cases" (From The Kansas City Call, July 9) A petition signed by 1,334 citizens asking the police commissioners to dismiss Officer H. H. Byerra from the force was filed in the office of E. L. Winn, secretary of the board of commissioners. The Rev. William H. Peck, pastor of Ebenezer A. M. E. Church, acting for a committee of citizens, filed the position. Owner Byers arrested Aubrey Walton and his wife, Ruth Walton, at 2 o'clock on the afternoon of June 17 as they were sitting on a bench near Tenth and Campbell streets. His language at that time is said by Mrs. Walton to have been: "Are you a white woman?" "No," she answered. "Well, you're the whitest nigger I've ever seen." Byers replied in an insulting manner, and called the patrol wagon, which took the couple to the station. Friends of the couple point out that Mrs. Walton is really a colored woman, was reared in Oklahoma, where she attended colored schools and went to colored churches. But even had she been white, it is pointed out, it was none of Officer Byers' business, since she and Mr. Walton were sitting on a bench in broad daylight on a well-travelled street, not disturbing the peace or conducting themselves in an abbreviating or disorderly manner. Judge Smith Takes Part When the couple appeared in Judge Carlin E. Smith's north side court the next morning a marriage license was produced which showed Mr. and Mrs. Walton to have been married in Kansas City at the court house in January, 1927. Judge Smith passed the marriage license to Prosecutor Gerahon, who read it and then tore up the charges which Officer Byers had filed against the Walton's. "What are you doing?" Judge Smith is said to have asked. "Dropping the case." Gerahon replied. "This marriage license makes the case no good." Whereupon Judge Smith is said to have reached over for the pad containing the charge blanks and to have written a complaint charging the couple with occupying a room for immoral purposes. When the complaint was made out the judge fined the couple $300 and sent them to Leeds farm. "Assumed" She Was White A protesting delegation of ministers which waited on Judge Smith at his offices in the Title and Trust building was told by Judge Smith that he "assumed" Mrs. Walton was white and therefore her marriage was illegal. He denied that he wrote out a new complaint charging immorality, but failed to explain, if this were true, why he had imposed a $500 fine and sent the couple to Leeds. Judge Smith, who has a large portrait of Stonewall Jackson hanging on his wall, told the ministers he was for "purity" and did not believe in mixed marriage. He was reminded that strict purity would mean keeping white men away from colored women as well as colored men away from white women. He was reminded also that the records of his court show white men to be getting off with $10 fines for associating with colored women, whereas it is well known that any colored man caught and brought before him with a white woman is fined $500. Indeed, one Negro recently was fined $500 because it was "presumed" he had been intimate with a white woman about a year ago! Judge Smith denied the $10 fines, saying he fined white men $100, leaving a difference of $100 to be accounted for in his campaign for purity. Smith is from Virginia. He told the ministers that in the (Continued on page a) PEP and POWER Every Woman's Darling Every Man's Ideal "No." abe answered. May Allow Appeal AFRICANS SHOW NO DESIRE TO COME TO U.S. Quotas of All Countries Exhausted Except Africa and the Pacific Islands—Not a Single Immigrant from Several Principalities Most of the Pacific Islands, including Yap and Samoa, and many of the African provinces both north and south, contributed nothing to immigration into the United States in the fiscal year ending June 30 last. They made a perfect zero, though they were each given a possible maximum of 100 admissions under the restrictive immigration act. Most of the European quotas were exhausted before the end of the fiscal year, and some of the countries have a waiting list literally a yard long, but the Yapa, the Samoans, the Ethiopians and others show no disposition to abandon the easy atmosphere of little work and less clothes to get into the United States and the industrial world, which takes many exactions in exchange for "freedom." Liberia and Siam Each Send One There is a long list of countries or principalities the natives of which showed no disposition to crash into the United States. It includes Andorra, Bhutan, French Cameroon, Ethiopia, Muscat, Nauru, Nepal, New Guinea, Rwanda and Urundi, Samoa, Yap, British Togoland and French Togoland. Each had a quota of one hundred and scored a shutout. British Cameroon, Liberia and Siam each sent one lonely immigrant during the year, though they had a quota of 100. South-West Africa sent just two out of a 100 quota. The Europeans and the Western Asiatics were much more ambitious in their efforts to get into the United States, and quotas were exhausted before the end of the fiscal year. Germany topped the list of all countries with a quota of 51,227 for the year, which was filled on June 22 last, with 5,417 preference and 45,510 non-preference immigrants. Exhaust Quotes Early Great Britain and Northern Ireland were second, with a quota of 34,007, which was exhausted on June 17. Each of these countries has many in line for admission under the quotas for the new year. The Irish Free State exhausted its quota of 28,357 on May 15 and has a long list of eligibles waiting for admission. The Scandinavian countries, each with a large quota, exhausted them before the end of the year, as did practically all of the other European countries. The list with exhausted quotas included Albania, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Free City of Danzig, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, New Zealand, Persia, Poland, Rumania, Russia (European and Aslatte), Sau Marino, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey and Jugoslavia. Under the system adopted of allotting the quotas on a monthly basis in so far as this is possible there will be no great rush at the opening of the law immigration year. National Party to Fight for New Amendment to Basic Law COLORADO SPRINGS, Col., July 11. Members of the National Women's Party made it plain today at their annual convention that their campaign for an equal rights amendment to the Federal Constitution will be prosecuted thoroughly. The fight to make women equal with men before the law, which hereforeo has received its support chiefly from women in the larger cities, is to be carried to the rural regions. Mrs. Isaac Dixon of Maryland, Chairman of the Farm Women's Council, announced. The everyday duty of being a home maker was exiled by Mrs. Thomas V. Winston of Dayton, O. as being one of the most worthwhile and dignified professions for women. She declared that recognition of the home maker as a professional woman was a necessary step in the progress of American femininity. --- THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JULY 16, 1927 Venezuelan General, Coming Here, Denies That Conditions in Isthmian Republic Are Normal HAVANA, July 11.—Nicaraguan conditions are for from having returned to normal and being as bright as reported in past weeks, said General Rafael Nogales of Venezuela, while en route to New York abroad the Spanish Inner Cristolol Colon. "I am going to New York to edit a book on the Nicaraguan inferno," he said. "I am a friend of Borah and of other United States Congressmen who defended the Isthmian republic. I have visited the entire republic recently, conferring with Sacerdos at Puerto Cabeza, President Díaz is a figurehead of Wall Street bankers." Referring to the disarmament by Admiral Latimer of the Conservatives and Liberals, General Nogales said that rebel troops still exist under the command of Saulino, a former soldier under the Mexican bandit Pancho Villa. He said they were located in a section of the country where it is extremely difficult to pursue them and that not even 50,000 American soldiers would be able to stop them. With the cry "Down with the Yankees!" a new revolution will soon break out in Nicaragua, General Nogales said. To the Editor of the Negro World: A disastrous fire occurred at Castries, St. Lucia, B.

General Education Board Votes Needed Money for Howard Medical School General Education Board Votes Needed Money for Howard Medical School WASHINGTON, D. C.—The Executive Committee of the General Education Board, through Dr. Abraham Flexner, secretary, has just notified Dr. Mordecal W. Johnson, who was inaugurated as president of Howard University June 10, 1927, that the General Education Board has decided not only to make available at this time the $50,000 provisional promise of two years ago, but in addition has added an additional $50,000, thereby contributing the whole amount needed to meet the Government's requirement that $130,000 be supplied for equipment of the new medical school building to go along with the $370,000 appropriated by the Federal government for the construction of the building itself. The General Education Board has made the $120,000 available at once that there will be no interruption of the progress of construction or equipment of the additional half million dollar ($500,000) medical plant. Liberia Pays War Debt To America in Full WASHINGTON, July 6 - Liberia today paid in full its war debt to the United States. The Minister of the small African Republic tendered to Acting Secretary of the Treasury Mills a check for $35,000, principal and accrued interest. A letter from Secretary Mellon congratulating Liberia on being the first country to liquidate its obligation resulting from the World War was made public. Mellon pointed out that the settlement here is heavily upon the tiny republic, with its $4,000,000 population, an larger debt fundings, wealth upon great Britain and Italy. Liberia recently floated a $5,000,000 loan in Wall Street, and a portion of it was used to pay off its debt to America. The loan, it was said, was approved because of the rapid development of rubber concessions in that country by Harvey Firestone. Firestone now has about 1,000,000 acres of rubber land in Liberia under concession, and he plans to develop there the largest rubber plantation in the world outside the Far East. The potential production of the Liberian tract would be more than 200,000,000 pounds of rubber annually or the equivalent of 60,000,000 automobile tires each year. The American rubber consumption is now about 550,000,000 pounds annually. Heavy production from the Firestone tracts in Liberia will start in about five years and it is expected by that time about one-third of the republic's entire population will be employed by the rubber growers. Negro Gives Life To Save White Fellow-Worker Color was forgotten by Balph Williams, deck laborer, last week when he leaped off a boat into the Mississippi river in an effort to save a white fellow worker, Ignatius H. Gregory, 76 years old, and was drowned. The white man was saved by a rope tossed to him by other workers. The body of Williams was recovered Saturday morning by Gentry Burr, with whom he roomed at 1714-a Division street. Williams jumped into the river to save Gregory when the latter was knocked into the water from a barge. His body sank and did not reappear. Other workers threw a rope to Gregory and dragged him to safety. Williams had been working several weeks on the docks of the Mississippi Warrior barge lines at the foot of North Market street. He was handling freight which Gregory was checking when the accident occurred. BETTER TO REIGN IN HELL THAN SERVE IN HEAVEN Cant About the Filipino Question Exposed—Oppressed People Desire Opportunity to Work Out Their Own Destiny—Gen. Wood Not Wanted The following letter to the New York World on the Filipino question is reprinted because of the light which it sheds upon a situation which is so sedulously befogged by the white press: THE FILIPINOS To the Editor of the New York World: The partisanship of Alexander S. Lanier's letter apropos of the rule of General Wood in the Philippines may make a rejoinder unnecessary, but if you will permit me a word I should like to call his attention to the fact that according to Upton Clazz, in his widely read book "The Revolt in Asia," there is an organization in the islands called the Supreme National Council, "composed of majority and minority faction leaders, involving every class, and ramifying the archipelago"; the organization reaches down quite to the masses, while "business and professional men (we are told) join with politics to prosecute the campaign for independence." "Huge crowds of townmen and peasants," the writer continues, "listen to three-hour denunciations of Governor Wood's interference in Philippine legislation, while they pledge tithes of wages and crops and land assessments" to support their nationalistic movement against the Government which has brought "the general prosperity of the islands and the moral, physical and economic betterment of the people" according to Mr. Lanier. I commend to the gentleman the following observation of Senate President Quezon, who, certain officials (tired and retired) to the contrary, does speak for the majority of the Filipino people: "We would rather be governed like hell and do it ourselves than like heaven and have it done for us." If Mr. Lander has any remembrance of the American Revolution he will find it hard to answer these words. Let him not forget, however, that in the Philippines today there are also Tories, whose interests lie with the exploits of their country more than with the Nationalists, and let him not fool himself with the idea that Governor Harrison or any outsider "made" the people discontented. We American said in 1775 that freedom was the God-given right of all, and some of us say it today as well when the boot is on the other foot. We are glad, naturally, that we have support in the press for such an American position. Mr. Lumber's characterization of that high-minded piece of legislation, the Jones bill, sponsored by one of the finest of the public public, as "a fool law": his reference to equally fine Filipinos as "unsuspicious native politicians" and above all his quite unsupportable praise of the Wood administration in the Philippines show him to be more than "unfriendly" toward the Filipinos, our words "younger brothers," some have called them- and to be more than "partisan." I would have him ponder these words from the prayer recited by great throngs of Filipinos on an anniversary of the birth of George Washington: "Let not the covetous designs of a few interests prevail in the council of the sovereign nation nor away its noble purposes toward our country." The best commentary on General Wood's regime is his characterization of the choice of the day on which to hold this prayer for independence as "damned impostinence," and the further fact that he was barely constrained from carrying out a military parade which might have clashed with the liberty-beseaching multitudes. I quote from Upton Closer's book. Let me give also his query: "Are Americans big enough to recognize the logical working out of ideas they have planted" (in the Philippines)? BLANCH WATSON: Manchester by the Sea, Mass. July 21. Crippled White Boy Gives Blood to Negro Weak After Operation (From the New York Times, July 11.) Jimmy Murphy, who was crippled by infantile paralysis when he was a baby eleven years ago, was a hero yesterday to all his neighborhood—and all the neighbors came to his house at 198 Warren Street, Brooklyn, to say so. Jimmy had just returned from Long Island College Hospital, where he underwent an operation which the surgeons thought might help him walk. He was getting about for the first time in his life on crutches. That alone, of course, was enough to make everybody who knew Jimmy—and everybody it seemed knew him—happy over his good luck. But their happiness over Jimmy's good fortune was mingled with pride in him when they learned what Jimmy had undergone, not merely for himself but for a friend whom he had met in the hospital. The friend was Jim Blunt, an eleven-year old Negro boy, of 2308 Seventh Avenue, who had come to the hospital for a minor operation and had been placed in a bed beside Jimmy Murphy. They became fast friends, lying there, talking with each other. Jimmy Murphy was sitting up in bed in a brace when Jim Blunt was taken out for his operation. They waved and smiled farewell to each other. But things didn't go well with Jim Blunt in the operating room. A surgeon came from the room, announcing that Jim Blunt was so weak from loss of blood that an immediate transfusion was imperative to save his life. Jimmy Murphy, sitting in his brace, volunteered without hesitation, and in a few minutes the transfusion was made. So the neighbors, calling to pay their respects to Jimmy Murphy as a hero, found him red with embarrassment. "I didn't do anything," he protested. "The doctor said Jim would die if he didn't have blood. I just told him he could have all the blood he wanted from me. He said something about getting my parents to consent, and I told him we were Irish, and the Irish liked to help other folks." And Jim Blunt, still at the hospital but getting better, was happy. "I've got Irish blood in me," he said, grinning. "Just wait till I get back to Harlem and give them a look at a colored boy with Irish blood in him!" Medal for Sheriff Who Saved Negro From White Fiends ALEXANDRIA, La., July 9.—For saving Joe Hardy, a Negro prisoner, from a mob bent on lynching him, Sheriff U. T. Downs and Jailer W. G. Penny, of this city, were publicly honored here last Sunday by a great popular mass meeting, at which their courage and faithfulness were lauded by distinguished speakers and handsome bronze medals were awarded them. The meeting was held in the First Baptist Church at the morning preaching hour, and was featured by a sermon suited to the occasion by the pastor, Rev. Carl DeVane. The presentation of the medals was made by Hon. T. W. Holloman, prominent attorney. The medals were provided by the Commission on Interracial Co-operation and were awarded by a committee composed of Hon. Hugh M. Dorey, former governor of Georgia; Gov. John W. Martin, of Florida; Mrs. J. H. McCoy, of Alabama; George B. Dealey, president of the Dallas News, and Marshall Ballard, editor of the New Orleans Item. In 1925 the Commission authorized the preparation of medals to be conferred on officers successfully resisting mobs. Up to the present awards have been made in eight cases, and several others are now under investigation. In the Alexandria case members of the mob went to the Jail on February 1st of last year and demanded that Joe Hardy, Negro prisoner charged with the murder of a Louisiana planter, be turned over to them. Jailer Penny flatly refused and sent a hurry call to Sheriff Downs, who rushed to the scene and told the mob that the prisoner would be protected at all costs and advised them not to start anything. Convinced that the officers meant business, the mob dispersed.

ALARMING RISE IN NEGRO DEATH RATE REPORTED Wyoming Leads with 41.9 Per Cent. Per 100,000 Population —Homicides Far Exceed Those of Whites, According to Census Bursau WASHINGTON, July 8 - A carefully prepared report on mortality statistics by the Bureau of Census, Department of Commerce, shows the death rate among Negroes is increasing, that California has the greatest number of suicides, Kentucky the highest rate of homicides per unit of population, and the number of deaths from automobile accidents more than doubled between 1915 and 1924. The table on deaths and death rates of Negroes in the various registration area States has a bearing on the Negro migration from the South to the North and West. Wyoming leads in the number of deaths of Negroes per 100,000 with 32.8 in 1922 and 41.9 in 1924. The Negro death rate in Idaho was 15.2 in 1922 and 28.8 in 1924, and that of Colorado 29.9 in 1922 and 27.6 in 1924. These three States have the highest rate per Negro population. Georgia has the lowest rate, with 12.2 in 1922 and 14.0 in 1924. All Southern States run low. Homicides among Negroes, according to the Census Bureau record, for exceed those of whites. The death rate for homicide per 100,000 for 1924 was 8.5, the white rate being 5.3 and Negro record with 64.7. Florida, with a homicide rate of 28.9, with 12.6 for whites and 62.5 for Negroes, had the highest rate for the two races. New York's homicide rate per 100,000 for 1924 was 5.4. The ratio per race is not given. The rate has risen there from 4.0 in 1918. California leads in the number of suicides, her rate being 26.0 in 1924, compared with 19.6 for the State of Washington and 18.8 for Oregon, the next in line. South Carolina has the lowest rate, it being 3.3. The rate of suicides is much lower in the Negro populations than those of the white, the rate running from 4.5 in Kentucky to 0.3 in South Carolina. New York State had 18.1 deaths from suicide in 1915, compared with 13.8 in 1924. The causal figures do not indicate a rise in the suicide rate because of Prohibition. The rates were: 12.2 for 1918, 10.2, 1920, 11.9, 1922, and 12.2, 1924. Holyoke, Mass.—Immediately after Mayor John P.

New Situation England is fighting alone! That in itself is almost a sensation. For it has become a tradition that England rarely fights without allies. In having others fight her battles or help fight them she has been history's past master. Inspired by the example of Turkey, led by Mustapha Kernal Pasha, in threwing off the yoke of foreign domination, and stirred up by Russia in her relentless struggle with Great Britain for supremacy in Asia, which has turned China into the battlefield for these, the world's greatest empires, some 400,000,000 Chinezoe are faunting British prestige, British power, British domination and extraordinary special privileges, and, though this struggle is directed against Britain, it is no less against that which other white Powers, including American, represent to China. Dominion Periled In the rising tide of color, nationalism and movements for freedom in Asia, which, looking for ahead, threaten to sweep away Britain's longenduring亚美尼亚 dominance, England can with some reason say that she personifies the white man's prestige. Let down by Japan as she herself let down Japan, "deserted" by the United States, as a Shanghai paper characterized it, an offish, uncertain, almost indifferent France, with only an Italy that out here is simply "show" and of no value or help. England stands alone out here in the Far East — grimly alone — with her back to the wall, fighting for her prestige, respect for her power and her vast trade and commercial interests. Germany, if she still had her Taigao colony, almost certainly today would be standing shoulder to shoulder with England with her fleet and military forces in the Far East. But Germany and German power in the Far East were destroyed utterly by and under the leadership of England. There remain only Germany's commercial interests, and they are no help to England. In fact, they are growing at England's expense and profiting by the dilemma that Great Britain finds herself in. Thus is England reaping some of the harvest of seed sown by herself. In Japan there is no love for England any more. Under the ever-present smile there is hitched, in some cases that I have come across so intense that it is almost pathological. Similar to Opera Like Pinkerton, the American naval officer in Puccini's beautiful opera, John Bull let down and threw over little Madame Butterfly for the more vivacious, richer and more influential Miss Columbia of his own race and color, when that fair maiden beckoned him.

Then, having got rid of her cherry blossom rival, Miss Columbia, as beautiful women are wont to do, left John Bull in the (Continued on page 8) Scrawny Women Need McCay's What is the use in going thru life minute the pounds of good farm flesh that will not only make you feel better but will make you look better attractive in face agents in you need to result.

The Film Censorship in British Possessions, as It Appears to an Englishman—Silly Aberrations of the Color Bar The Conference of Colonial Governors lately assembled in London discussed the topic of Films—their censorship, their educational value and how the licensing of them can beat be controlled in the interests of the British producer. Letters and articles have appeared in the press showing serious concern about the effects of the White Man's Pictures on the minds and morals of colored peoples whose tutelage he has taken in hand, and on their opinions about himself. There are censorships of films in nearly all our Dependencies, but complaints are made that there is here too little regulation, there too much. Kenya has the most original board of censors—two ladies and a police officer. If they do not agree, the superintendent of Police decides, which seems to impair the luster of this triumph of feminism. "Any picture which it is considered inadvisable to show to natives is licensed for non-natives only." One wonders what brands of poison the lady censors allow their own monofolk to sip. Indiana, being "non-natives," may presumably partake in these cloistered mysteries; if not, this particularly silly variety of the color bar is doubly provocative. Any picture that is too bad for colored people can surely be dispensed with for whites. Such discriminations as these merely advertise the white man to the black as a creature addicted to unpresentable spectacles. Arburdly, no doubt, but inevitably; for the native mind does not appreciate the fine shades. If there is to be any official censorship for public representations (except, perhaps, as between "Universal" films and those for adults only), it ought, in any mixed racial community, to be indiscriminate in regard to the skins of the audience. Otherwise it labels the presumably undesirable film as the selected pabulum of the white man, and does more harm than good to any prestige his morality may have or deserve. In Mauritius the censorship has had difficulties, "the committees very often disagreeing as to the suitability or not of a particular film." Doubtless in that Frenchified island the traditions of Paul's Virginia, who chose to be drowned rather than be rescued from a shipwreck in dishabille, still struggle with the costume economy of the modern Paris variety stage. Here again it is proposed to invoke the Police Inspector as a final arbiter. This habit of reliance in our Colonies upon policemen as film tasters may seem curious, if not comical. But it originates not in the prestige of the Force as the Fountain of Modesty, but rather from the conviction that pictures excite to crime. The spectacle of Mr. Mix killing eleven rustlers (or thereabouts) with one six-shooter and strangling the remainder of the bunch, may, it is feared, encourage Malays in their national pastime of running amok. Mr. Fairbanks, as the Thief of Bagdad, is suspected of having engendered an epidemic of cat burglary in Irak. West Indian black boys and Aden street Arabs have not been slow to plead before magistrates that they had only stolen and fought because they had been prompted to do so by what they had seen at the pictures; and some Colonial Governors and their police are convinced that they have this suggestive effect, though the statements made are general, and no example are given. American films must alternately cause the policeman as censor to swell with self-conscious pride at the superhuman efficiency of his order—and to explode with disgust at the vulgar irreverence with which he is still exploited as a grotesque. British films have not, I think, as have the American, promoted the pantomime Bobhy into their stock comic repertory. As to "sex-appeal," the suspicion of which as a demoralizing element in the pictures appears to distress so many good people who do not go to them (and which as conventionally conceived of at Hollywood is surely a remedium amoris to most spectators), it is interesting to read, on the authority of the Secretary of the Advisory Committee on Native Education, that "there does not exist among the Africans a special desire to see the usual sensational film with its American or European sex and crime problems." You can make your hair lovely It's so easy and costs so little every one of us should have soft, lovely hair nowadays. All you need do, is apply a little of the Improved Pluko Hair Dressing before you comb and brush your hair. The packages you get at the low, 50c and 25c prices are so liberal in size that long before you have used up your first one, your hair will become so soft and straight, you can arrange it in any style you wish and it will stay that way, always looking smooth and glossy. Improved Pluko In the native mind, I am afraid that the Greek: War and ten years from age between them have already got away with any tradition that direct contact between the races may have left as to the chastity and sobriety of the white man. As to woman—no Aesthetic or African imputes capacity for continence to her, and the advertised impudidity of white women on the films is not fundamentally surprising or disconcerting to them. All women, if not kept in order, will, they feel sure, act no. Nevertheless, in so far as many "sensational" films do positively misrepresent European civilization and travesty the normal characters of its men and women, there is no reason why we should libel ourselves in the spectacles we offer to natives in our Dependencies; and here, if anywhere, a censorship is commendable. "There is very strong desire." Major Fischer attests, among Africana, "for interesting and entertaining information dealing with animal and plant life, industries, history and development. The travelogue film is steadily improving, and such films have both an educational and entertainment value." Crater of Kilauea Spurts Flame After Long Sleep HILO, Hawaii, July 7.—The huge volcano, Kilauea, slumbering for ages, awoke today and poured streams of lava from its crater, Halemaumau, 4,000 feet above the earth, which trembled as the giant roused to activity. Natives can berries and other offerings into the fire pit to appease Pele, goddess of the volcano. Warning of the impending eruption was registered by the seismograph of the observatory at the crater rim, which recorded four slight tremors of the earth in the two hours preceding last midnight. An earthquake at Hilo, thirty miles from the volcano, awoke a few residents at 3:21 a.m. Four huge fountains of fire 125 feet high are spouting upon the lofty slopes, and from the fire pit run three rivers of lava, forming a blazing lake of rock 1,000 feet across. Crowds that rushed toward the pit to watch the display were driven back by bursts of sulphur fumes, dust and sand. Kilauea, largest active volcano in the world, has a main crater that is eight miles around and 600 feet in depth. It is on a slope of Mauna Lua, a volcano 13,675 feet high, which erupted in May of last year. Canal Traffic Sets New High Record PANAMA. July 2.—The Panama Canal established a new high record for commercial transits during the fiscal year just ended. The waterway was used by 5,478 vessels. The previous record was established during the calendar year 1926, when the transits total 5,420. Total tolls collected for the fiscal year amounted to $24,228,830, falling short of the record tolls collection in 1924 of $24,250,963. Since the opening of the canal in August, 1914, to the close of business June 30, 1927, a total of 40,377 commercial ships passed through, paying $166,363,228 in tools. Commenting on the past year's business, Governor Walker declared: "The employees operating the canal are, of course, gratified at the splendid use which the world's shipping is making of the waterway and the business-like return on the investment. We look forward to the continued growth of the traffic and to care for it. I have made a recommendation to the government for prompt beginning of work on an additional reser- For Negro Welfare In North Carolina Raleigh, N. C., July 8.—The Division of Negro Work of the North Carolina State Board of Charities began on July 1 a more extensive state-wide social welfare program with the appointment of C. Glenn Carrington and Miss A. Marie Crawford as members of the staff, according to an announcement by Lieutenant Lawrence A. Oxley, Director of the Division. Mr. Carrington, a native of Richmond, is a graduate of Howard University and New York School of Social Work, and prior to his present appointment served as Boys' Worker in the 123th Street Branch Y. M. C. A., New York City, and special worker at the Children's Temporary Home School, Washington, D. C. He will give special study to two important research projects—Negro Crime and Negro Child Welfare in North Carolina. Miss Crawford is a native of South Carolina and a product of South Carolina State College, Orangeburg, who since leaving school has made her home in Charlotte, N. C. She will be assistant to Mr. Oxley and have charge of case records. The Division of Negro Work was created January 1, 1925, with Mr. Oxley as director. Its work, particularly in the field of organizing social forces in small Negro communities, has attracted the favorable attention of many State Departments of Public Welfare. Started as an experiment, it has become an established and permanent part of North Carolina's progressive state-wide program. The results obtained thus far promise increasing returns in family life, better race relations, justice in the courts, and larger opportunity for the citizenship of the State. "Save-a-Life" Club Will Celebrate Anniversary The "Save-a-Life-Club," auxiliary committee on popular health education of the Harlem Tuberculosis and Health Committee, met at the committee's headquarters, 202 West 136th street, Thursday afternoon. Plans for the celebration of the Harlem committee's fifth anniversary in August were discussed. Plans are under way to have an "open house" at the headquarters on August 4. All residents of the community are to be invited to come and see the exhibit showing something of the progress of the committee's health work in the five years since its origin in 1922. Mrs. Mabel Doyle Keaton has been the Executive Secretary for the five years. The members of the committee planning the celebration are launching a drive for local memberships to the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association from which the work gets its support, in connection with the fifth anniversary. Some reports on the progress of this drive were read at Thursday's meeting. A number of memberships have already been secured and it is expected that there will be a great many more. The next meeting of the auxiliary will be on Thursday, July 21, at 3 p.m. at the Katy Ferguson Home, 162 West 130th street. Mrs. A. Corbin, president of the club, will be the hostess. Refreshments will be served. volr which will be necessary, possibly within a few years. In order to have ample water for navigation during the dry season.

C.—Two diplomas, one from a boy's college and the other from a girls' school, received by one girl at the same session may sound impossible to some. But it didn't to Charlotte Nelson. So she attended two schools here and literally "flivered" to the brand, spanking new B. S. and A. B. diplomas now hanging in her home here. Meredith School for Girls is two miles from State College. Charlotte, whose father, Dr. Thomas Nelson, is dean of the textile school at Stann, decided she wanted sheepskins from both. Up until last fall she attended Morrith during regular sessions and State during the summer. Then she began attending both institutions at the same time. She "flivvered" back and forth to meet a schedule of classes at the schools. Both boys and girls "bluff" professors, she observes, but she is inclined to believe girls do less 'of it because they study more. Boys, however, get more out of the classes, she adds, because they take an active part in discussions, while the girls usually remain silent. Incidentally, Charlotte is the second girl permitted to enter State College and the second to receive one of its diplomas. She intends to become a school teacher. In the last presidential election out of sixty million men and women privileged to vote less than thirty million placed enough value upon the right of suffrage to drop their ballots in the box.

NEW YORK, JULY 18, 1877 No. 26 The Negro World does not knowingly accept questionable or fraudulent advertising. Readers of the Negro World are correctly requested to invite our attention to any failure on the part of an advertiser to adhere to any representation contained in a Negro World advertisement. LOCAL CONVENTIONS FROM JULY 31 TO AUGUST 14 ACTING PRESIDENT-GENERAL FRED A. TOOTE has prepared and submitted to the locals a comprehensive and constructive program to cover each day from July 31 to August 14, when local conventions have been called to meet, and the suggested program has been published as well in The Negro World. A study of the program suggested will convince anyone that it covers all of the subjects which affect the interests of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and that a close adherent to it will certainly prove of lasting benefit to the Universal Negro Improvement Association. There will be no International Convention of the Universal Negro Association in 1927, but the meeting of the locals will bring the members in close touch with each other and the interests of the association. ```markdown ``` THE SUBSCRIBER AND ADVERTISER WE insist that no member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association can be well informed as to the objects and programs and accomplishments of the association unless he subscribes to and reads The Negro World. The paper should have a hundred thousand readers at least, and it would have them if those members who do read it would impress upon their neighbors the importance of doing so. The presidents of the locality should also feel it to be a duty and pleasure to often direct the attention of his members to The Negro World and urge them to read it. It requires a great deal of money to keep a newspaper like The Negro World going each week, and unless the members of the association support the paper, it will not have the money it needs to properly function. Again, every member of the association in New York City, say, who is engaged in any sort of business, however small or large, would find it to his or her advantage to list the same in "The Negro World's Directory of Negro Business in New York." Have you noticed this directory in past issues of The Negro World and its slow but steady growth? If not, look it up and study it. If you are doing any sort of business, list it in The Negro World's Directory. We should have a whole page of such advertising, and we will have it if our business members take the proper view of the matter. If you have real estate to sell or rent, why not advertise it in The Negro World—in your paper, in the paper that the members of the association read? Why not? Think it over. BUILD UP UNIVERSAL LIBERTY UNIVERSITY EVERYBODY'S business usually turns out to be nobody's business. How many of us have given that aspect of the subject a moment's consideration? Very few, perhaps! And yet it is a phase of the question which cannot be ignored without causing all sorts of confusion with the individual and the group concerned. If an individual neglects his interests, leaving it to others to care for them for him, he will soon find that he has no interests to care for, and that his neighbors will soon come to regard him as a neer-do-well, concerning whom they shake the head and wag the tongue when they speak of him. So it is with an organization—say, an organization such as the Universal Negro Improvement Association; its business is the business of those who brought it into existence and whose business it is to promote its interests in every reasonable way. If they don't do it, why should they expect that others will, whose association it is not and who may have like interests of their own to promote and protect? It stands to reason. The Universal Liberty University is one of the extension activities of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, in which every member of the association has a personal interest, because it is his university, and on that account appeals directly to him for sympathy and support, such sympathy and support as the child requires of the parents and usually receives. The work of the association is largely that of propaganda, a light and leading for the people, a pure matter of education, as we understand it. The Negro race everywhere needs the best of education in order to obtain the best records and to meet successfully the opposition of those who stand in the way of the race uplift objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Universal Liberty University is designed to meet the needs of the association for educated workers, for educated members eager and willing to teach others less foreign than themselves. The campaign to raise $20,000 for the needs of the Universal Liberty University will end July 24. Those members of the association who have not contributed to this fund will, we are sure, be displeased to delay, and the time now is short. Don't allow it to delay, whichever answering the call for assistance. THE FIERY WORLD, SATURDAY, JULY 14, 1987 These are some of the reasons why we should drink water. Everyone should drink at least six glasses every day. Take one in the morning as soon as you get up, one before each meal, one between meals and one before going to bed at night. If you like to drink one with meals, do so, but do not use it to wash down unclean food. Be careful to swallow your food first and then take your drink. Only God in heaven seems to care about the poor neglected Negro boy. The community sees him when he goes wrong and strikes him down, and having struck, it falsely assumes it has done all that becomes it—Kansas City Call. Ideals and ideas are necessary but the time has come when our ideas must naturally run to the economic field—labor must supplant idle thought and finance must supplant petitions. Our economic progress is our only REAL progress and the sooner the race gets cognizance of the fact the better.—Cleveland Call. The time has some when those of our group who have any influence upon the opinions and conduct of the masses of our people should show some real, fundamental, basic capacity for competent and unselfish leadership.—Washington Tribune. We find our young men and women with college degrees, menials, working as porters, waiters, bellhops and boot-blacks and the young women, as chamber mails, scrub women, servant girls and cooks. This great handicap and disillusion which our graduates experience will continue to be as long as we are willing for them to remain educated menials.—Portland Advocate. It is a hopeful sign when the "common people" begin to wake up and to discuss conditions. It means a new day for the group when the FOLKS begin to take notice of the actions of those whom they have made leaders.—Shreveport Sun. Plan your business on the best system and principles that modern intelligence has developed. Forget color—forget race—forget everything but the attempt to give the largest service and value in the chosen field of your endeavor and you will find that men will seek you out and drop their dollars in your coffers.—Seattle Enterprise. We wish it were possible that the Negro might be happy and content in the land of his birth. Certainly, he would prosper in good proportion to his opportunities, but prosperity is not all of life and no one can blame him for trying to find a place where he can feel safe and enjoy the products of his labor to a fuller extent.—Birmingham Reporter. At this age when conditions are forcing us to get together, we should try, with all our might to cure ourselves of the bad opinion, that we carry of others, and profit by taking stock of the wonderful achievements others are bringing about by team work. Oklahoma Eagle. Another element necessary for all groups concerned is patience. It is hard for a man to wait with a live coal in his boom. It would seem a century for a man to swing for an hour by his little finger. We are the sufferers, and justice seems to travel quite slowly, but we must remember that though she tarry, we must with faith wait for her. -California Voice. Investigate Expulsion of American by British Investigation of the case of Mr Harvey Lebron, an American citizen who was expelled from England when he attempted to stop over those on his way to Riga, has been instituted by the American Civil Liberties Union. Mr. Lebron, holding a United States passport, arrived in Massachusetts from New York recently as a transgender under board, that in, in transit to charge of a shipping company to Riga. When he discharged with the intention of remanding in England for about six weeks, he was arrested in London and given two pounds. A deportation order was made against him and one peer per into effect. This and several similar cases are being investigated by an English legal organization with the intention of putting up a case to shore against the British home office on the disproportion of commissions. Universal Negro Improvement Association almost his entire estate, valued at $150,000. The local British court annulled the will on the ground that the bequest was "illegal," and the question is now on appeal. It remains to be seen if the higher British courts will sustain the contention that the redemption of Africa, or an organization created to further such redemption, is "illegal": that is, prejudicial to alleged interests of the British Government and sufficient grounds for voiding the will of the testator. Albert Solomon Nathan of Maritzburg, South Africa, left in reversion a million and a half dollars to the Jewish Colonization Trust to be used in the restoration of Jews to their ancient home in Palestine. The legality of the devise was brought into question and the case was taken to the Natal Supreme Court, from the conclusions of which there may be an appeal, as in the Morter case. Great Britain has the mandate over Palestine from the League of Nations, but it has placed the seal of approval on the Zionist Movement, which would appear to indicate that the repatriation of Palestine by the Zionists would in no wise prejudice British rights. In the meantime the Zionist organizations throughout the world are taking an interest in the Nathan devise and the probable attitude of the Natal Court toward the movement to redeem Palestine to the Jews in disposing of it. The right to dispose of property as he wills is one of the most thoroughly safeguarded of all of the rights possessed by English-speaking people. A devise is seldom set aside or annulled by the courts except for incompetency in the testator, undue influence, fraud or against public interests. We are reminded, therefore, that when the Morter and Nathan cases reach the high courts in Great Britain, the attitude of the local colonial courts will undergo severe scrutiny as to the effect final action will have on the property rights of Englishmen generally, and especially on the rights of beneficiaries under the last will and testament of a decedent. THE AMERICAN NEGRO LABOR CONGRESS RADICALS MR. M. JAY RACUSIN has aroused discussion in a new phase of the race problem in the United States by a contribution to the New York Herald Tribune on the activities of the Russian Soviet propagandists, which we reproduced in the last issue of The Negro World and which has attracted general attention and aroused the government at Washington, we are told. According to Mr. Racusin, the activities of the Russian Soviet among American Negroes is well organized, with permanent headquarters, the organization being known as the American Labor Congress, the leaders of which are named as Richard R. Moors and Lovett Fort-Whiteman. They have a newspaper organ of their own and threaten to have a school in Harlem as well as to send selected persons to Russia as students who shall be graduated missionaries of Soviet Communism and help to conquer the world, with destruction of existing governmental systems and industries and the substitution of Soviet government and industries. Mr. Racusin says: The Reds' plan, as outlined by authoritative sources, is simple enough. It embraces the establishment of an organization among the Negroes here to function as a clearing house for Bolshevik propaganda among the members of the race, the selection of certain individuals among them for transportation to Moscow and thorough instruction there in the operation and theories of communism, their early return and activity to bring the whole Negro population solidly under the influence of their Red ideas and through them eventually to strike an effective blow at the government. It was undoubtedly this scheme to which Zinoviev referred when he told the Third International at Moscow in March of last year that the "clandestine method adopted for America would concentrate gradually with greater and greater power." Far be it from us to decry or underrate any movement which promises to benefit the American Negro in his social, civil and economic privileges and immunities, but we do not believe we have any such promise in the Russian Soviet Communistic movements. But even if we had such promise and could obtain it only by an attitude of radicalism and violence toward existing government, civil and economic, we should be constrained not to look upon it with favor. The Negro suffers greatly in his civil and economic rights, but he would suffer more if he should fall in with the American Negro Labor Congress radicalism. And we know the American Negro sufficiently well to be sure that he is not going far with that movement. A few unquiet spirits will follow after it, but the great mass will think it over and remain out of it. WHAT WE THINK OF OURSELVES GREAT many people spend much time worrying about what others think and say about them. It is an interesting but very profitless way to squander time and neglect opportunity. The members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association should not waste their time and opportunity in any such way. They should be concerned first and foremost about what each of them think of himself and what they all think of each other. If they think highly of themselves, as they should, others will be bound to think highly of them, and they will go about looking after and protecting their interests, as persons and as members of the association, in such a way as to counteract any disparaging thing others may think and say about them. The members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association have a pardonable pride in their organization and in their great leader; they therefore regard it as a primary and imperative duty to see to it that they pay promptly their annual tax and assessments so that the parent body can properly function and meet its many and pressing obligations; they regard it as a duty to subscribe to The Negro World, so that they can keep in touch with the work of the association, its parent body and its locals; they feel it to be a pleasant duty to support liberally Liberty University and to provide it not only with necessary money to properly function but to provide it with plenty of students, and they feel it to be a duty to continue to labor for a pardon for their leader, Hon. Marcus Garvey, President-General of the association. All these are obligatory duties, which will enable each member who discharges them to think very well of himself. Pay your annual dues and assessments and send them to the parent body in the regular way prescribed. It is a duty and should be a pleasure. We think it is with most of the members, who are faithful and true. Are You Intelligent?

Negro Slain Because White Women Liked Him NASHVILLE, Teen., July 11.—Because his white woman friend showed attention to a colored man, Tom Tucker, A. P. Mantleight, white man Taylor to death. The woman, Bath Clemmons, was arrested on a charge of running a discordant house and being accustomed to the murder, white man Clemmons was arrested on a murder charge. HEALTH TOPICS Why Drink Water? The need for drinking plenty of water is being stressed continually. We are told to drink six or eight glasses daily. And so, we try to drink the prescribed six or eight glasses in order to help keep healthy. Naturally, we like to know why this amount is good for us. First, the body is composed of water to a large extent. The blood, the tissues, and, in fact, almost every part of the body contains some water in its composition. Water makes up about two-thirds of the body, and this proportion must be maintained. Then, water dilutes the blood and lymph and keeps the membranes moist. It helps to regulate the body temperature by distributing heat to the various parts and by cooling the body through perspiration. Another very important function of water is to aid the action of important organs, such as the kidneys, skin, lungs and intestines, in removing waste material from the body. It thus helps digestion and prevents constipation. Editorial Opinion of the Negro Press Scheyler At It Again Writing in the Pittsburgh Courier for July 9th Mr. George S. Schubly reached the following conclusions in a review of Dr. Du Bois and the Pan-African Congress: "The Pan-African Congress is a show waste of money, time and energy . . . instead as the Negro people of the world are concerned it might as well not be held. In that respect it is as useless as the U. N. I. A. In the first place no other Negroes except a handful in the United States are interested in the idea of Pan-Africa . . . "It might just as well be understood that this talk of organizing the Negroes of the world and getting them to understand one another and work in unison is about nonsensical as talk of howing down Mt. Everest with a tooth pick. To the majority of Negroes of the world the words "Negro" and "African" mean nothing whatever. They call themselves French, British, Yorubas, Vais, Faniin, Bantu, Shuas and so forth. Only the blacks in the United States and the West Indies refer to themselves by that uncertain term. In the case of half the so-called Negroes of America, the term is grossly erroneous because it means nothing more or less than "black." When we say that it means any person of known Negro descent we are merely adopting the white man's anthropological standards and social prejudices. By the same sort of reasoning we can as fairly close a majority of the "Negroes" as "white" because they have some white ancestry. "The fact is that the dark peoples everywhere, like the light peoples everywhere, are nationalists. There is no unanimity of opinion on anything among the light or "white" peoples of the world, not even on the race question. It is just as difficult to get American, British, French, Belgian, Spanish and Italian Negroes to agree on any one thing as it is to get the white peoples of various countries to agree on any one thing. If the black or dark people in each country agree on what shall be done in their respective countries, they will be doing more than the white people of any one country have done, let alone talking about Negroes of the world uniting. The American people of Negro ancestry have a multiplicity of problems crying solution and they will do well to concentrate on their problems and let the other Negroes do likewise. When we get our own house in order it will be time enough to consider the other fellow, whether black or white, in other parts of the globe." This is one of the most crushing耻辱s against the Race and its intelligence that has ever emanated from the pen of a prominent writer. It is sensational because of the apparent incompetency of the writer to deal scholarly with the subject matter under review. It does not in any way enhance Mr. Schuyler's reputation as a journalist and would be adviser on racial matters. The criticism is foolish. It comes at a time when Africa and Asia are about to join hands in combat against western imperialism, at a time when the peoples of both countries are reaching out for sympathy and understanding from these sheaves of light and learning. It will be received with much surprise in England, home of the West African Student's Union, in Africa, home of the African National Congress, and in the West Indies and Central America, where the idea of "Africa for the Africans" is a mighty spiritual force. Sir Barry Johnson, greatest living authority on Africa and things African, deferred years ago that a mighty black empire in Africa is inevitable, and an Kakor Wilhelm of Germany recently informed the world from his exile at Down that "Africa for the Africans" has become the rallying cry of an awakened Race. Admission of Insurance When Mr. Schuyler says that this talk of organizing the Negroes of the world and putting them to understand one another and work in unison is nonexistent, he admits gross ignorance where the mental and spiritual growth of the Race is concerned. Dr. Robert R. Moton, recently returned from an extended trip abroad told the National Negro Finance Corporation of Durham, N.C. that one outstanding fact which he found showed was the darker races everywhere seemed to be finding a self-expression and unity which preages an undreamed of development in the future of the world. Marcus Carvey was first to demonstrate that the Negroes of the world can and desire to be organized into one solid body, and the U. N. I. A. which he created and which Mr. Schuyler calls "unless," commanding as it does the fear and respect of the whole world because of its success in corraling the wanted efforts of black men into a solid weapon of defense, is the best proof of Mr. Schuyler's ignorance of the truth. If Mr. Schuyler's statement that no other Negroes except a handful in the United States are interested in the idea of Pan-Africa is true, then why is it that hundreds of others in Europe, Africa, Asia, Canada, the West Indies, South and Central America—a large number of them prominent in every walk of life—are supporting the U. N. I. A., the West African Student's Union of Great Britain, and the African National Congress? Why is it that the Negro World is barred in South Africa, more especially in the glacial diamond fields of Kimbenley and the Rand? Why is it that a British Court terms "illegal" a legacy of $180,000.00 bequeathed to the African Redemption Fund by an African? Why is it that the N. A. A. C. P., the Pittsburgh Courier, the Norfolk Journal & Guide, the Afro-American, the Crisis and Opportunity now find it of interest to carry news of, and write trechant editorials, on African activities and progress? Why do the British and French governments take such pains to admit only a certain class of Africans from abroad to their territories in Africa, and ignore the right of the African at home to communicate freely with his brethren abroad? What have these powerful governments to fear from a handful of Negroes in the United States? That internationalism is foreign matter to Mr. Schuyler is evident when he states that, there is no unanimity of opinion on anything among the light or "white" peoples of the world, not even on the race question. What is more unanimous than the agreement between white peoples of the world to so shape the destiny of society that they will always remain strong and other races weak? They the masters, we the slaves. American, British, French, Belgian, Spanish and Italian Negroes are already agreed on one particular thing—oppression and persecution from the whites must stop; and they have decided that the only way to stop it effectively is through the power of African Nationalism, the founding of a government in Africa for the preservation of the Race; an ideal that can only become real when we uproot prejudice from our minds, erect in our hearts a temple of mutual understanding and goodwill, combine our intellectual forces and go forward to make our Race the greatest in the world. On one particular thing, too, white peoples of various countries are agreed—that everything humanly possible must be done to keep the Negro peoples of the world from unity of aim and oneness of purpose. And Mr. Schuyler is unconscionally aiding and abstaining them in this nefarious scheme. The Negro peoples of the world have never been repulsive to race entity, in fact unity of purpose and oneness of aim have even been their rallying cry since the dawn of emancipation, but they were cheated of their goal by selfish and insincere leadership which found it profitable to keep them in ignorance and superstition, by misrepresentation of facts—such as Mr. Schuyler sets forth in his review—and by the empty preachments of a multitude of "silver tongues orators" to whom the dollar was wightier than the truth. Nationhood, or "Reservations" One of the problems arising for solution is how to get Narras like Mr. Schuyler to see the world through black spectacles. Its the only salvation for us. The Red Indiana of America and the aborigines of Australia tried to see the world through spiritual lens. Today they shine only on "reservations." If they had used their own the probability is that the world would now be singing praises to Glor Woe-Paw, or Eagle Era, or Might Hawk, or Chief Running Deer, instead of Bird, Lighthouse, Chamberlin and Hastiland. We live in a racial age and we do the same that pain to keep pace with the others. When Mr. Schuyler advises the American people of Narras ancestry to concentrate on their problems and let the other Narras do likewise he is guilty in his own words of adopting the white man's standard and social profession. The man who is admitted to live apart from his partner needs Christmasming, and quickly. Mr. Schuyler talks about getting our old children in order. What bruised Narras who were these United Nations or Bison, or Aard, the brown is important and unavenable. Owning the notions rights of possession, and rights of possession domestically. The Narras but one brave that intelligence and loyalty his own. This is the heart of Abham. It needs putting to order very badly. That's why we need Mr. U. N. L. A. And let his brother and the whole town understand that among the people of the city and country and parishioners, Abraham will only be able to do so when he is living in the city with the family. "Treasured," the question, is how much food is to be provided to the parishioners. But can any reason be given why the parishioners may not live and work in the city without the family being present? In opposing views, the parishioners have different views on how to provide food to the family. _ en ee lees J ‘a m SR seers pS 7 . : oe _ an : . “a ae DNC GS gta ea i ie. aa: Pek che at, Se ey eee , PN SPREE SAIG EES ES aan beams ta a | 820,000 NEEDED IMMEDIATELY FOR LIBERTY UNIVERSITY! | Great Thirty (80) Day Campaign, Ending July 24, 1927 °° « THROUGHOUT ALL DIVISIONS AND CHAPTERS OF UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION IN AD OF , UNIVERSAL LIBERTY UNIVERSITY eae : / (Ceontrolied by Universal Negro Improvement Asseciation) s ae : Founded for the Educational Development of Negrves and the Promotion of a System of Independent Negro Education, Inculcating in PYthe Negro Youth the Spirit of Self-Help and Self-Reliance & ; DONATIONS OF ONE ($1.00) DOLLAR AND UPWARD SOLICITED | , .

The properties destroyed, the lives sacrificed, the tears, the immense suffering—all these have been without result. and as cause for doing this there has been invoked the honor and the prestige of the American government, as if the honor and prestige of a nation whose power and greatness astonish the world could be exemplified by overriding the rights of a weak people . . . a people that have sought with sincere faith her friendship and co-operation. It is certainly to be lamented that the government of the United States, to the prejudice of the general interests of that nation, persists with inexplicable tenacity in a policy that injures profoundly the sensibilities of our several people, making us to lose that faith we had in the altruistic spirit of North American culture as the guide and promoter of Continental welfare. There is left me, yes, the satisfaction of remembering here that we have not been solitary in this tragic fight. The world has observed our effort with SEND IN YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS FOR UNIVERSITY! unusually live interest. And the people of the United States herself, whose soul was forged in the crucible of love for justice, of love for liberty, have reprobated the acts of their government in press, in pulpit, in university tribunals and in the halls of the National Congress, where ardent voices took up the defense of our rights. In Spanish-America there has burst forth in eloquent unanimity the manifestations of public sympathy with our cause, and the whole press has judged with severity the attitude of the United States Government and the unqualified good conduct of the Nicaraguan, which they have both advised and approved. The Mexican Government lent to the government over which I preside the moral support of its recognition. The Government of Costa Rica, appreciating with acumen and independence of the legal aspect of the question, disqualified the Diaz regime, and, moved by the noble impulse of Central American confraternity, offered to mediate our differences. This suggestion was immediately accepted by my government and refused by Senor Diaz. What has beyond a doubt the highest significance THE MONDAY WEEKLY, SATURDAY, JULY 24, 1927 because it shows to what extent the Costa Rican people were with us in treatment and comprehension of the transcendence of our effort) is the resolution adopted by the Congress of that country, giving a vote by acclamation to those members of the United States Houses of Congress that defended in the Capitol at Washington our rights as Nicaraguan, to self-government and liberty, and which excited the other Congresses of America to the point of lending their co-operation towards deciding the Nicaraguan conflict, in a manner favorable to our sentiments and ideals. This resolution by the Congress of Guatemala, seconded by unanamius vote, and there were echoes of sympathy if many other congresses of Spanish America, especially in that of Uruguay. The government of Guatemala, doing honor to that country's traditional Central-Americanism, and interpreting the patriotic and generous sentiments that animate its people, offered also their good offices to put an end to our civil conflict. This offer, as in the case of Costa Rica, was accepted by my government and refused by Dias, under diverse pretexts that failed to hide his purpose of evitating all friendly intervention on the part of our sister republics of Central America, and placing the solution of the conflict solely in the hands of the United States Government. It was no account to him that the blood of our people continued by these means to be spilled in torrents. The new government of El Salvador, inaugurated during the early months of the year, hastened with gestures to the effect that all the Central American countries should make friendly intervention in Nicaragua in conformity with the treaties of 1923, gestures which, for reasons already indicated, were without result. In the Congresses of almost all the Spanish-American countries there arose voices of protest against the acts which the United States Government executed in our country, and although my information is still incomplete, I can affirm that those voices have been especially generous and sincere in the congresses of Chile, Argentine, Mexico and Uruguay. Without doubt it pains me to have to point out that the governments of the Spanish-American republics (with the exception of those hereinbefore pointed out) limited themselves to the withholding of their recognition from the Dias regime. In so doing they ignored the demands of their own peoples, who desired a more active interest to be shown in the Nicaraguan tragedy. The significance of all this from its least grave viewpoint is the demonstration that our Pan-American ideals have been reduced to the category of subterfuges, and that precisely because of the actions of that government (which on account of being the largest and most powerful, has the gravest historical responsibilities) are still far from producing that accord between peoples which would permit the two races that occupy the continent to march together without friction toward the realization of their common human mission. Fellow citizens, with the army dissolved by the forces of the United States. I find myself obliged to close out today the constitutional government of the republic over which I have had the honor of presiding. Here in the ruins of my efforts I have yet the satisfaction of being able to tell you that I have fulfilled my duties to the last extreme—and in the best manner possible under the circumstances, corresponding thusly with the sacrifices that you had made. The situation in which our little nation stands at this time is such as to fill with deep sorrow the spirits of the most indifferent. What can we possibly do to save her that we have not already attempted? Nevertheless our duty and our ardent love for her obliges us to continue fighting in what manner we find possible, so that it be within the dictates of patriotism and honor. The blood and the tears that have so abundantly watered the soil should fortify our souls and uplift them in tenacious demand of what is ours, without insolence, yet without weakness. In virtue of the interdependence which conditions modern life, imperialisms cannot today endure as they did in the days of ancient Rome. Further, there is hope for us in the nobility of the American people, who have proved that second to none, they are possessed of an ideology at once constructive, humanitarian, and cordial. With reference to myself, you may be sure that I will always be ready to place at the service of my country the modest contingent of my energies. And now as I bid you adieu to follow once more the paths of proscription, I desire to express my gratitude to the patriots that have lent me their valuable aid and to the legitimate army for its efforts so rich in heroism and self-abnegation. In the same manner I desire to render a respectful tribute to the memory of our dead, whose sacrifices, worthy the spirit of our race, will bring forth some day their fruits.

Checks and notes were made of clay, which was then hardened. Modern banking originated in Italy. Father Curran had been in Fukien province for more than three years in December, when Cantonese troops entered and General Tih seized the Dominican mission as his headquarters. A month and a half later all foreigners in Fukien were compelled to leave under armed guard and went to Shanghai, 450 miles to the north. The Cantonese are working in close co-operation with Russian advisers, he said. The mass of the Chinese people he had found "thoughtful, kind, sympathetic and very nice to work with." Voltaire a Champion Of Free Speech Jean Jacques Rousseau, the French writer, made enemies without much difficulty, and the close of each successive year during his most productive period usually found him bitterly assailing the men who had been his firmest friends a few months before, says the Detroit News. His most famous foe was Voltaire, and their violent quarrel, lasting for years, gave Voltaire a chance to make famous his stand for tolerance. He protested vigorously when the authorities at Geneva burned Rousseau's book, "Contrat Social." Voltaire thought Rousseau's ideas were childlike and absurd, but he also thought that it was childlike and absurd to persecute a man who said what he thought. "I do not agree with a word that you say," was his famous principle. "but I will defend to the death your right to say it." INARY TION , 1927 OF NEW JERSEY Train to City Headquarters Armory P. M.

The principal speaker of the afternoon was Mme. M. L. T. De Meen. As is her custom, she held her hearers spalboard for one hour and a half, the silence only broken by an occasional outburst of thunder applause. The little daughter of Mme. De Meen, though only 11 years old, is also a strong supporter of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. She delivered a wonderful address on the subject, "Negroes Are the Balance of Power." Dr. H. H. Jones of Liberia, Africa, also delivered a very inspiring address which gave to his hearers valuable information in regard to our motherland. Miss Marie Goas presented little Miss Mme, a beautiful bunch of carnations with a very befitting presentation speech. Mme. De Mena was presented a small purse by Mrs. L. D. Johnson. Both were little tokens of the high esteem in which the Philadelphia division holds our Assistant International Organizer. Other short addresses were delivered by the officers of the division. Front page of the Negro World was read by our lady president. Mrs. Ida Alexander, Anthems by the choir. At night we had as our special guest Mrs. Sarah Branch of Liberia, Africa, who spoke chiefly on things relative to conditions and opportunities in Africa.

We then point of view, such as a qualified young lady and hope it will help her before she goes up against what. The meeting came to a close with the picture of our National Academy. LIVERPOOL SPUR, C. R. Sunday, June 19, was a real red letter day for the friends and members of this division. It was a long expected day, when, in the presence of a large and enthusiastic crowd of Carvoyles, Charter No. 768 was unveiled. The weather was somewhat doubtful, owing to the heavy showers that fell on the previous night. Yet in spite of it our Liberty Hall was crowded. On Sunday morning at 9:30 o'clock the officers and members assembled at the railway station and met the distinguished visitor, Mrs. Bridge Aird, who came as mistress of ceremonies. The train came in punctually with Mrs. Aird and representatives from other divisions on the lines. Then came the procession of officers, Black Cross Nurses and Motor Corps, which headed for the Liberty Hall. As the procession was nearing the hall the choir started the well-known hymn, "Forward Be Our Watchword." During this time all took their respective places. The first part of the proceedings was the religious ceremony by the chaplain, Mr. U. A. Brown. His short address was based on the text, "Be not weary in the well-doing." This done, the president, Z. Clement, introduced Mrs. Aird to the anxiously awaiting audience, who applauded warmly. Her address, so warm and stirring, kept the audience spellbound for many minutes. Then the moment for the unveiling came on. Four juveniles were selected to expose to the audience the concealed charter. The first child lifted the delicate curtain which shielded everything; the second removed the Costa Rican flag; the third lifted the flag of the U. N. L. A., while the fourth child, Miss Eugena Bennett, opened the covering which concealed the charter. This was the time for cheering for the flags, the charter and for our great leader. The choir, under the able leadership of Mr. Eugene Roper, rendered the anthem, "Give Thanks All Ye People." At this stage several addresses were given by the respective representatives for other divisions. There were representatives from Cedar Creek, 28 miles; Indre Dios, Climarrones, Pacuariito and Calro. The choir gave another selection, and the closing address was given by Mrs. B. Aird. Her address was warm, instructive and forceful. The day's proceedings were brought to a close with a short prayer and the singing of the national anthem. T. EUGENE ROPER, Recorder. VICTORIA, LAS TUNAS --- Oriente. Cuba. Sunday, May 22, the has Tunas Division was honored with the presence of Lady H. V. Davis, fourth assistant president general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Miss Davis with her secretary, Miss R. Thomas, arrived at the railroad station at 12:45 p. m. and was received by an enthusiastic crowd of all chases. At 12:50 we left the station for Liberty Hall, where we met another great and happy crowd, patiently awaiting us. At 7:50 p. m. our mass meeting was begun with the processional hymn, "Shine On, Eternal Light," while the president, Mr. G. S. Garnes, occupied the chair for a few minutes, after which Miss Davis was introduced to the audience amid a storm of applause. On Monday night, June 23, we were again blessed with the teachings of Garveyism in the Cuban "Bociedad," a large and spacious hall, where we had another good meeting with fine art attendance. Many Cubans were present. On Tuesday night, June 24, we had another fine meeting for the purpose of reorganising our division, which was successfully done. Our meeting came to a close at 10:30 p. m. with the singing of the Ethiopian National Anthem. JOSEPH M. ALLEN BROWN LOS ANGELES, CAL On Sunday, July 2, the Los Angeles Chapter, in its regular mass meeting celebrated Garvey Day. A remarkable program was rendered. Opening ceremonies were conducted by the president, J. W. Dupré, who presided over the meeting. After a brief introduction by the president, the following program was rendered: Selection by the audience; short talk by Mr. G. A. McNeil; reading of the aims and objects of the organization by Master Claude Kusnell; "Oh, Afrian, Awaken," followed by a short address by the body vice-president, Mrs. P. Magus; rendition of the front page of "The Negro World," by Mian B. Hall; singing of "God Mans Our President"; an offering was taken by Mr. G. A. McNeil; the introduction, of, the principal speaker, Custis Nichson, by the expressor, J. J. Sandford. Custis G. W. Hikens sparred briefly on the subject of "The Baptism of Garvey." The subject was beautifully outlined by the speaker and was much appreciated. Announcements were made by the body president, Mrs. G. Hyden, and also by the president. The meeting was adjourned with prayer, and the closing of "The Mississippi National Anthem." NEW ORLEANS, LA. --- The New Orleans Division of the U. N. I. A. was honored with the presence of Hon. J. A. Craigen from March 20 to 23. Many successful meetings were held in spite of in-element weather. These meetings were presided over by the president Mr. John Cary, Jr. Brief addresses were delivered by Mr. I. Holden, first vice-president: Mr. E. A. Francis second vice-president: S. E. Buchanan executive secretary, and Captain J. E. Shirley. This division takes pleasure in commenting on the eloquent manner in which Miss Ida Vollison, secretary of the choir, recited the poem penned by the Hon. Marcus Garvey, "Hall, United States of Africa." Great was the impression left in the minds of those who saw on the screen "The Material Accomplishments of Hon. Marcus Garvey," also inspiration received from the master addresses delivered by Hon. J. A. Craigen on the subjects "The Causes of Racial Prejudices," "Bacillaries," "Needs of Twentieth Century Negro." In his addresses he stressed the importance of Negroes building up a mighty government in Africa, ruled and controlled by black men, that the race may be protected and respected wherever domestied; that if the Jews, Irish, Indiana, Japanese, Mexicans, Nicaragua and Chinese can see the necessity of maintaining a government of their own, what is the matter with four hundred million Negroes if they fail to see the possibility of a free and redeemed Africa? that as we see the existing conditions, let us work assistiously and show to the world that Negro men shall be masters of their own destiny. We are Negroes are tired of our condition; therefore, since Hon. Marcus Garvey has gotten to the foundation, we should build up ourselves economically, politically and industrially and make our country, Africa, the best in the world. The Hon. J. A. Craigen spokes at length on the above mentioned subjects and left the division with a new enthusiasm to go onward to the goal of success. The New Orleans Division wishes to give thanks through The Negro World to the divisions and chapters throughout the United States who did what they could to help our suffering brothers and sisters in the flood area of the Mississippi. Everything sent was distributed directly through the division and over three hundred persons benefited. The waters have not receded in certain places and there is no telling when those who have had to leave their homes will be able to return to them. The Red Cross is doing all that it can do to help the sufferers, but much remains to be done yet, simply to make conditions bearable. Those of the organization who helped will have our everlasting gratitude. © S. E. BUCHANAN, Reporter. MONTCLAIR. N. J.

DETROIT, MICH. To all Divisions and Chapters of the U. N. I. A. in the State of Michigan: Each division must hold a local convention, beginning Sunday, July 11, and continuing to Saturday, August 6, in which you are to discuss the Agenda outlined in The Negro World. We request that each division and chapter in Michigan send one of more delegates to Duggett, where we shall commence from August 7 to 14. In this assembly we prepare to discuss ways and means of expanding and increasing our activities in this State. QUINONES, CAM, CUBA It is unavenable to believe that any normal human being, any race or nation, can stop the movement toward self-determination which characterizes the twentieth century. The recent visit of Lady Harriet Vinton Davis, fourth assistant president general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, in this city shows clearly that the U. N. I. A. is improvable. The distinguished visitor and her private secretary, Miss R. Thomas, arrived here at 4:20 p. m., Sunday, May 22. They were met at the station by a special committee. The news of her arrival was spread like wildfire, and through the meeting was scheduled to start at 8:15, our Liberty Hall, which has a seating capacity of 600 persons, was filled to overflowing from 7:30. The people turned out en masse. Reading the faces of all, you could see how they were thrilled with expectancy. The meeting was called to order at 5 p.m. by the second vice-president, Mr. J. Aarens. The religious part of the program was performed by our worthy chaplain, Mr. L. Smith. The newly elected officers were then sworn in by the retiring president, Mr. P. Francis. The officers are as follows: M. A. E. Monroe, president; Mr. E. T. Atkins, first vice-president; Mrs. B. Welcott, lady president; Mrs. U. Robinson, assistant secretary. At the completion of the installation the entire staff of officers marched down the aisle to meet Lady Davis. She was accompanied in the car by ex-President Francis, Nurse Williams and special police Joose, for whom we have to thank the municipal authorities. Reaching Liberty Hall door, the band struck up the processional hymn, "Shine On, Eternal-Light," and the audience joined in hustily. Leading the procession was the chaplain, who dressed in her robe of office and followed by all officers, regaled, presented a splendid spectacle to behold. The opening ode was sung with much soot. Religious rites were read by the chaplain and the chair was then taken over by the president, Mr. A. E. Monroe. In a sound and impressive way he made a few complimentary remarks which won the applause of all. The program then proceeded as follows: Reading of address of welcome to Lady Davis by Mr. L. P. Rattray, secretary; band selection, address, Miss R. Thomas; presentation of Lady Henrietta Davis. She arose; all sang the first verse of the Ethiopian Anthem. Owing to the fact that she was greatly fatigued, she spoke for only ten minutes. Miss R. Thomas then gave a full report of their travels from Santiago to Camagüey. With a selection by the hand and closing remarks by the president, an enjoyable evening came to a close by singing the Ethiopian Anthem and benediction by the Chaplain. Subsequently there was a series of three other meetings which ended June 1. On May 29 Lady Davis spoke for one hour and fifteen minutes. Her discourse was on the delegation's visit to Liberia, Africa. At the end of her discourse two new members enrolled and one rinsated. Miss L. Clarke, a staunch Garveyite and a gifted soldier, did not fail to win the plaudits of all. Mr. Vanderpool, an officer of the Florida division, gave a fine address, drawing a close comparison between past leaders of world fame with Marcus Garvey. On Tuesday, May 30, the vice-president, Mr. S. T. Atkins, occupied the chair. After a selection by the band, Lady Davis was introduced. She arose amid cheers and spoke for an hour and ten minutes. When she concluded, two members enrolled and one rinsated. Miss R. Thomas then spoke in Spanish for the benefit of those who understand Spanish only. Mrs. Walcott, the lady president, called for three hearty cheers for Miss Davis. The meeting closed by singing the Ethiopian Anthem and prayer. On May 31 the spirit of the people was yet unabated. Liberty Hall was crowded as usual. The meeting opened in the usual way. The program included an eloquent address by President Francis; solo, Mrs. Vanderpool; address, Miss S. Williams, 2nd lady president; band selection; presentation of Lady Davis. The Presidential hymn was sung with deep fervor and earnestness reigned supreme at the moment. Next was an address by Miss R. Thomas and Mrs. K. Leander, exlady president. Another new member was enrolled. We only pray that our people may be always consistent and perpetually stick to the program of the U. N. I. A. as launched by the Hon. Marcus Garvey and preached by Lady Davis. We take the opportunity here to thank the Rising Star Lodge for its assistance during our meetings. We also wish to thank Messrs Angus, Whittie, Lerry, Lloyd and Douglas for furnishing us with music during Lady Davis' stay here. SAMUEL T. ATKINS Reporter. YOUNG TOWN, OHIO Youngstown division was honored with the presence of the Honorable G. A. Haynes on Wednesday and Thursday, June 1 and 2. We were greatly encouraged and inspired by Mr. Haynes while.

Make your reports snappy and interesting by omitting all unimportant details.—EDITOR. PORT LIMON, C. A. A special meeting was convened on Sunday, June 15, in behalf of our incarcerated leader, the Honorable Marcus Garvey. The meeting was opened by the acting president, the Rev. R. N. Whittaker, with the singing of the opening ode, followed with a hymn and remarks by the executive secretary, Mr. Cecil Coelmald, concerning the Hon. Marcus Garvey and his expected release. After another hymn the reading from the Scripture by the Rev. R. N. Whittaker was followed by prayer by Brother Daker in behalf of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. An address by Mr. J. H. McCatty was followed with prayer, and Banky 343. Prayers were offered by the following members: Mr. L. Brown, Sister Brown, Sister Wallace, Mr. Baker and Mr. Fuller, who led the hymns during prayer. Miss Minnie Britton, organist, and part of the choir were very helpful. The Rev. Whittaker, whose subject at the previous meeting was the "Release" spoke on "Deportation" and the Hon. Marcus Garvey, his sufferings, the cause for his incarceration and how he is passing through his Gethsemane. The president then called for a contribution for the parent body and the meeting closed in the usual manner. PITTSBURGH, PA. PITTSBURGH, PA. The Pittsburgh Division regrets to announce the resignation of the Heen Samuel A. Haynes as its President effective July 31. For two years and a half he has worked assiduously to keep Pittsburgh on the map. When this energetic young man took charge on December 11, 1824, he inherited a total indebtedness of $3,000, and found the division in chaotic condition. Today, with the assistance of a handful of loyal members, this indebtedness has been wiped out. Our Liberty Hall is free from all incumbencies and there are no local debts to cause us mental worry. Mr. Haynes is one of the most brilliant young men in the Association, a strict disciplinarian where the ideals of African Nationalism are concerned, a born fighter with courage and determination to succeed worthy of any true Garveyite. It is to be regretted that our people have not yet developed to that stage where they can appreciate honest and sincere leadership. Mr. Haynes leaves behind in Pittsburgh a record that will inspire his successor. We, who have been loyal to his leadership, will never forget him. Whatever he goes we shall follow his career with much interest. The hand of death has removed from our midst the following faithful members, all of whom rendered valiant services to the cause: Mrs. Roa Simmons, Mr. H. W. Williams and Mrs. Anna Amos. The death of the last named has brought gloom and sadness over the entire membership because of the high esteem in which she was held and her sudden demise. She was married a little over a year ago to Mr. Alonzo Amos, ex-first vice-president, and was in the best of health until her admission to the Passavant Hospital three weeks ago. The deceased was a victim of blood poisoning and leaves her new-born child, husband, mother and sister to mourn her loss. MRS. LOUISE E. EDWARDS. Reporter. GAMBOA, CANAL ZONE We are glad to announce that since the reorganization of our division by Madam M. L. T. De Mena we are again working nicely. Our regular meeting on Sunday has always been well attended. Since Madame De Mena's visit we have received two communications from other divisions calling for representatives, one from the Colon Division at the unveiling of their charter, and the other from the New Providence Branch at their rally and dance combined. Our president, Mr. H. E. Cohall, was sent to the Colon Division as our representative. He was accompanied by our lady president, Mrs. Barnes, and our expresident, Mr. George Williams. Our lady president was deputed to go to New Providence as our representative. Our officers are live wires, especially our Lady President, who is now preparing for a secular concert, to come off some time in July. We regret the departure of our assistant president of the juvenile burgess, Miss Susan Manniford, who has gone to her native jamaica. Jamaica. Our chaplain, Mrs. W. Pritchard, is carrying on the work of chaplain in a spiritual and in an official manner. Since the departure of our former secretary, Mr. H. Edwarda, the assistant secretary, Miss Wilhelm Wilhelm, was carrying on the work o' secretary for the division, until the appointment of Mr. A. Shan, who is now secretary. The officers and members thank Klim Wilhelm for her efficiency in heading the secretarial work of the division. Our division ponders with sorrow upon the continued confinement of our president general in Atlanta Postsecondary. Prayers will open the Gates of Elavon, and as 400,000,000 Negroes are praying, we hope at no distant date to see the brun gates of Atlanta Postsecondary wide open and realize unto us our leader. ALEXANDER MILAN. Recorder. GUACHAPALL PAN Realizing the value of applying modern methods to the business of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, Guachapall Chapter, No. 14, of Panama City has been very active for the past three weeks reorganizing its various departments along modern and improved lines. For the past six years the result of the chapter's business has always been functioning; sometimes progressing, sometimes retrograding. A few weeks ago, a few statute members, with some measure of business accustom began to analyze the affair of the chapter, and after keen observation and analysis, discovered a lack of efficiency in the operations of the various departments, and accordingly advocated radical reform. The membership with the assistance of the Hon. Solomon J. E. St. Rose, Commissioner for the Republic of Panama, have brought many wonderful changes which will prove to be the salvation of the U. N. I. A. in Panama. Among the changes made was the election of officers which took place on Wednesday night, May 18. The attending membership was carefully explored for the most available executive material and, judging from the report at the general meeting on Wednesday night, May 25, giving a synopsis of the business done by the executives at their session on Monday night, June 22, there is every reason to believe that a better selection could not have been made for the guidance and government of the chapter's destiny. Following is the personnel of the officers elected for the ensuing term: N. W. Collins, president; C. A. Braithwaite, first vice-president; A. H. Jones, second vice-president; J. M. Mcphun, third vice-president; Mrs. L. Thompson, lady vice-president; Miss E. Parker, first lady vice-president; A. C. Bishop, general secretary; Miss Agnes Clarke, associate secretary; P. A. Sutherland, treasurer; C. Greenidge, chaplain; T. L. Clarke, C. Gibson, C. N. Oxley, C. A. Richards and W. A. Rouse, members of trustee board; and B. N. Ford, choirmaster. Pursuant to the election, installation of officers took place on Sunday night, June 22. After the religious exercises by the chaplain, the commissioner was escorted up the aisle in regal style, and on ascending the rostrum was introduced to the audience by N. W. Collins, president-elect. After briefly addressing the audience the commissioner took the chair and conducted the installation ceremony which was most solemn and impressive. After the installation, the officers gave short and snappy addresses in which they reaffirmed the pledge just taken and expressed their determination to put the program of the U. N. I. A. over the top on modern lines. The president was at his best and greatly impressed the commissioner, who said, "I have been studying Mr. Collins during the campaign of the past three weeks, more than any other individual in the chapter, and I am thoroughly convinced that the members have chosen and placed the right man in the right place. I predict a future of prosperity for the chapter which I venture to believe will soon return to its original standing of 5,000 members." The meeting was splendidly animated and enlightened by several appropriate selections rendered by Professor U. N. Nibba' Orchestra. To say that the service rendered by so worthy an orchestra has been much appreciated is to express it mildly, and it is hoped that the orchestra will continue to honor the chapter with its presence for a long time. Much credit must be accorded the commissioner for the masterly way in which he solved the knotty problem which confronted the chapter at this time. ARTHUR H. JONES, Reporter. KANSAS CITY. KANS. On Sunday, June 19, a joint parade was staged by the two divisions, Kansas and Missouri. The parade left Liberty Hall at 2 p.m. and returned at 3:30 p.m. It was led by the presidents of the two divisions, Mesra N. A. McCatty and L. R. Johnson, who carried the lifesized photograph of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, followed by the U. A. Legions. Each auxiliary wore its uniforms and colors which made a picturesque scene. The rear of the lina was formed by the Juveniles bearing banners of different mottoes for the release of Hon. Marcus Garvey. After the parade a monster mass meeting was held on the spacious lawn of Kanaa City, Kanaa, Division. At this meeting a petition was sent to the President of the United States asking elementary for the Hon. Marcus Garvey. Ex-president J. H. Lee acted as master of ceremonies. Kanaa City, Mo., was represented by several excellent speakers. After a short address by Rev. Tanglamsore, followed by a song by the congregation, the president of Kanaa City, Mo., was called upon and delivered a soil-giving address. We were also favored with addresses from our open president, Hon. N. McCatty, and Dr. C. B. Vance. The meeting was brought to a close by singing the National Anthem. C. E. TH.L.M.A. Reporter. On Sunday, July 4, the Florida Division celebrated Survey Day by administering a program not to be forgotten in the near future. A fine gathering listened with attentive interest to each number, and encouraged the participants with much applause. Mr. Sloan was master of ceremonies and after the usual entering process delivered a short talk, most appropriate for the occasion. The reading of the front page of The Negro World by the present, Mr. R. A. Martin, followed. The president, at the close of his reading, gave his usual address, which was followed by a restatement by Master Debet Thompson, aged 5. The members of the girl guides did a great deal for the success of the program, especially the Musee M. Thomas and W. Reid with brilliant addresses, and Miss M. Whyna with a solo. Other members of the Juveniles who gave numbers were Miss Anita Gardner and Master B. Thomas, restations. The addresses of the evening were delivered by the executive secretary, the first vice-president and Mr. A. U. M. Henry, while Miss I. Knight and another sang a duet, Miss Motherwell and B. Gordon contributed solos. The choir rendered alternatively songs, "Clasp Your Hand" and "New Song," and Miss C. Campbell, a member of the choir, moved the audience with an able address on "Humility." That the day is not far when our leader will be released is the sincere prayer of the division. CON ADJ. LOWLITT, Reporter. NEWPORT NEWS, VA Newport News Division hold a monster mass meeting Friday night, June 17. The ritualistic ceremony was conducted by the chaplain, after which a short program was conducted by the program committee, and the meeting was then turned over to the president, Rev. W. H. Poorman, who made a few remarks and presented the speaker, the Men. R. H. Bachelor, a special representative of the U. N. L. A. Mr. Bachelor's subject was "Watchmen," Watchmen, What of the Night?" All that were present and heard Mr. Bachelor seemed to be well pleased. There was thunderstorm applause and the congregation was highly echeated over such a wonderful address. We wish to say that the Men. R. H. Bachelor is a man of stirring qualities and a wonderful representative of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We hope Mr. Bachelor can return soon to our division. The division held its regular mass meeting on Sunday, June 19. The meeting was opened by the chaplain, Mr. J. H. Ridgell, in the usual way. After a short program it was then turned over to the president, Rev. Wade H. Pearson, who spoke on the subject, "Education." He said that we need not only a literary education, but an industrial education as well. He said that we must produce something and not be consumers all the time, for when the other men produce and control all the necessaries of life they control us. Mr. M. D. Young, ex-president, gave us an inspiring short address. The meeting was brought to a close by singing the closing Ode. W. H. PEARSON, Reporter.

This action by the South African Labor Party is hailed as a victory for the Industrial and Commercial Workers' Union, the labor organization of native labor, numbering some 75,000 members, which recently affiliated with the International Federation of Trade Unions and is trying to establish fraternal relations with the unions of white workers in South Africa. It is stated that when the leaders of the South African Labor Party received the protests of the Amsterdam International and of the Independent Labor Party of Great Britain against the sedition charges of the bill they immediately got into action. Arthur Barlow, Labor member from Mississippi North, vigorously defended the native union in a speech in which he warned the Government that the South African Labor Party had definitely received to stand by the Industrial and Commercial Workers' Union, which was now a part of the art and labor movement of the world, as he says it carries on legitimate trade union work in the country. That this approachment between the white and black labor unions may lead to a practical consolidation of labor forces is indicated by the fact that when the South African Trade Union Congress, in convention in Cape Town of Master time, received a dispatch from the convention of the Industrial and Commercial Workers' Union of Durban calling for a "united effort against the "arbitrary and unjustified power of unqualified." It replied with a message of fraternity and then would not ask its affiliated unions for a mandate to call a joint conference of the Democratic Council of the two unions to discuss clear relations. In their fight against the addition between the South African white labor unions pointed out that many of those unions would be applied to white as well as to colored unions and con- attributed a real menace to general trade union activities. Clements Kadalle. National Secretary of the Industrial and Commercial Worker' Union, represented his organization as an unofficial delegate to the recent conference of the International Labor Organization of the League of Nations in Geneva. Kadalle is said to be an able organizer and a powerful speaker and writer, both in the native tongue and in English. He was the victor in a clash with the South African Government some time ago, when the Supreme Court of South Africa decided that the ban laid upon his union activities was illegal. Arrests Negro Couple; "Thought She Was White" lurch at the very moment when he most needed her sympathy, encouragement and help. Japan is quite off of England in the China situation. The idea of international concessions in China—settlements where British or other foreigners rule in Chinese territory—belongs to the conception of the past. The days of that foreign rule, with all its special privileges and extra-territorial rights, are numbered. Great Britain will be ousted from ruling on Chinese territory. That realization has come, also that there is at present little likelihood that it can long be held up. Americans at home do not perhaps fully realize that, but those in the Far East do. But, perhaps, as a high American officer talking to his troops here the other day, remarked: "The Americans in the Far East don't count," and a few minutes later referred to England's most famous vestment here, the Coldstream Guards, as the "Coldstream Guards." Moscow Can Boat Great Britain will be ousted from China.

England's fight now, with diplomatic weapons and political skill, is to retain many of her rights and privileges she now enjoys, in some other guise or form. That she will have some measure of success in this, unless all the gods of politics and diplomacy have forsaken her, there is little doubt in the mind of anyone who is watching the great game now on in the Far East. And America is bound to profit by any success that the British may have in that direction. Great Britain has more than one billion dollars invested in one way or another in China. She has Hongkong, the most beautiful harbor gem in the Far East, as a British colony. She has the big concession in Tientsin, and she has leaseholds in Wel-hel-wel and Kowloon. Wel-hel-wel is the last of her long chain of important strategic points and naval bases held by England to the Far East, beginning with Gibraltar and including Malta, Suez Canal, Aden, Singapore, Hongkong and Shanghai. The Nationalist Chinese already are talking in the intoxication of their prospective success that once Shanghai, Tientsin, Kowjon and Wel-hel-wel have been returned to China, one day Hengkong, too, again will become Chinese. In China, too, England is fighting the great battle for keeping India, the brightest jewel in Britain's crown. The success of the Chinese Nationalists toward freedom from foreign domination already has given stimulus to the revolutionary freedom movement in India, a stimulus that is bound to grow cumulatively in proportion to the success of the Chinese. The Indian revolutionary committee is in closest contact with the Chinese Nationalists. Two of their most active centers outside of India are Shanghai and Hankow. Important members also sit in Tokyo, where certain Japanese, in their private capacity, help to finance the movement. The center in San Francisco seems to have to do chiefly with raising funds in the United States for the freeing of India. The nationalist and "freedom from the foreigner" movement, that is stirring all Asia and parts of North Africa, is in the closest touch from Cairo and Damascus in the West to Seoul, Pekin, Shanghai, Manila, Canton, Honkow and Singapore in the East. Its secret threads run everywhere. Against this rising tide of race and color, England has her back against the wall in the Far East. The outcome there means much to her. BRITAIN WITH BACK rush of business in his court there was no time to investigate cases and recommended that they work for the appointment of a colored welfare worker who would present him with facts he could get from no one else. White investigators and welfare workers in the past, in cases like the Waltons, have been found to be prejudiced and useless. Judge Smith also said he doubtless had made some mistakes, but that this was the first colored committee that had ever come to him to get or give information. He said that "perhaps" he had made a mistake in the Walton case, and if such could be shown, he would disregard the expiration of the time for appeal, "if the law would let him," and give the Waltona an opportunity to erase Mrs. Walton's name from the records as an immoral woman. The Waltona have been paroled, but the record of immorality against a legally married woman still remains. Church Congregations Angry In the ministers' delegation were Revs. W. H. Peck, W. C. Williams, D. A. Holmes, M. L. Mackay and Editor C. A. Franklin. The Wayne Miner Post of the American Legion sent a letter of protest by Homer Roberts. Churches where the petitions were circulated Sunday morning meted with indignation at the recital of the actions of Officers Byers and Judge Smith. Old timers here say that not even intense political campaigns have aroused much feeling.

Usefulness and Success A great deal of talent is lost in the world for want of a little courage. Men and women have passed on without contributing anything of worth to humanity. Much of this has been due to timidity which presented them from making a first effort, when, had they begun, they might have gone on to a great career and fame. Your position in life is generally determined by the degree to which you are useful. The tremendous success of the Ford industry was not due to the fact that it produced an automobile, but was the result of the great usefulness of the product. Practically every large industry has its foundation in the service it renders to the two Negroes are in jail now for raping a white girl" (the Raytown case). "Yes," said Rev. Peck, "and two white men have been arrested in the last two weeks for raping white girls." Rev. Peck pointed out to Judge Smith that in his congregation there were at least a dozen women who would be taken for white even in broad daylight and a score who could get by after dark. "Why, judge," he said, "if dark men are to be arrested on the mere assumption of any policeman that because he is with a light skinned woman he is guilty of immorality, then an intolerable situation is created where almost any Negro is subject to insult and arrest." Action on the Byeris petition will probably be taken next week by the board of commissioners.

Today we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, through the inspiration of the Hon. Marcus Garvey are building, what Nationhood, the greatest goal of man's achievement. Let it not be for present delight; not for present use alone. Let it be such work that our descendants will thank us for, and let us think, as we lay stone upon stone, that a time is to come, when those stones will be held sacred, because our hands have touched them, and that men will say as they look upon the labor and substance of them, "See this, our fathers did for us." Do not be discouraged, for water tempers steel, and progress tempers disappointments. All successful men have their dark days, but it is the troubles and disappointments that temper the real firm determinations in us. We prove this in the present attitude of our noble leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey. Iron goes through fire and comes out, but it would not be steel unless it was tempered right. Take not anxious thought as to the results of the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. It would be great if we could succeed now; it will be greater if we work assiduously for the success, for it will come. No one can successfully oppose Nature, or the decrees of God. Our plans may be upset and may not be completed in the time we would wish, but the work will be carried out. Let us, therefore, as true and loyal members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association go forward with the determination to do for ourselves, for we are rebuilding our empire of ancient days. ICE ERS TO ALL ONS SS NURSES CORPS —Marcus Garvey. (From "The Black Man," published in 1881 and attributed "to the dignified and friends of Negro freedom and equality wherever found") By WILLIAM WELLS BROWN (Born in Slavicity of Leningrad, Ky.) In the year 1880 there was a young man in Havana, son of a woman who had been brought when a child from the coast of Afrique and sold as a slave. Being with a comparatively kind master, he seen found opportunity to begin developing the genius which at a later period showed itself. The young slave was called Placido. He took an especial interest in poetry and often wrote poems that were not to music and sung in the drawing rooms of the most refined companies which assembled in the city. His young master paying his addresses to a rich heiress, the slave was requested to write a poem embodying the master's passion for the living lady. Placido acquitted himself to the entire satisfaction of the lover, who copied the epigraph in his own hand and sent it on its mission. The slave's compositions were so much admired that they found their way into the newspaper, but no one knew the Negro as the author. In 1828 these poems, together with a number which had never appeared in print, were intrusted to a white man, who sent them to England, where they were published and much praised for the talent and scholarly attainment which they developed. A number of young whites who were well acquainted with Placido and his genius resolved to purchase him and present him his freedom, which they did in the year 1842. But a new field had opened itself to the freed black and he began to tread in its paths. Freedom for himself was only the beginning; he sighed to make others free. The imaginative brain of the poet produced verses which the slaves sung in their own rude way and which kindled in their hearts a more intense desire for liberty. Placido planned an insurrection of the slaves in which he was to be their leader and deliverer, but the scheme failed. After a hasty trial he was convicted and sentenced to death. The fatal day came. He walked to the place of execution with as much calmness as if it had been to an ordinary resort of pleasure. His many and heroic bearing excited the sympathy and admiration of all who saw him. As he arrived at the fatal spot he began reciting the following hymn, which he had written in his cell the previous night: TO GOD—A PRAYER "Almighty God, whose goodness knows no bound. To thee I flee in my severe distress; O let thy potent arm my wrongs redress And rend the odious veil by slander wound About my brow. The base world's arm confound. Who on my front would now the seal of shame impress. God of my sires, to whom all kings must yield. Be thou alone my shield; protect me now; All power is His, to whom the sea doth owe His countless stores; who clothed with light heaven's field. STOP!

When all preparation for the execution had been finished, Placid asked the privilege of giving the signal, and it was granted. With his face wwearing an expression of almost superhuman courage, he said in Spanish, "Adieu, O world; there is no justice or pity for me here, Soldiers, fire!" Five balls entered his body, but did not deprive him of life. Still unsubdued, he again spoke, and placing his hand on his breast, said, "Fire here." Two balls from the reserve entered his heart, and he fall dead. Thus died Placido, the slave's poet of freedom. His songs are still sung in the bondman's hut, and his name is a household word to all. As the Marseillais was sung by the revolutionists of Space, and inspired the people with a hatred to oppression, as will the slaves of Cuba, at a future day, sing the songs of their post-martyrd, and their cry will be "Placido and Liberty."

SOUTHERN METHODS OF COOKING FLAKY RICE Several methods are used for cooking rice in the South. Whichever method is used, the resulting product must be flaky and dry. With rice belongs gravy of some sort. For this reason, rice takes the place of white potatoes in many families, while the sweet potatoes or yama are used as a vegetable. Boiled Rice Wash the rice and add it slowly to a large kettle half full of salted boiling water. The water must not stop boiling while the rice is being added. Roll quickly, uncovered, about twenty minutes or until tender. Drain and dry by shaking over the fire. Boiled Rice II Wash the rice and add to twice as much cold water. Place in a medium sized kettle, cover, let come to a boil and cook slowly five minutes. Set back from fire and keep covered half an hour. Uncover and shake over fire. If rice must be stirred, use a fork instead of a spoon in order to keep the grains whole.

Imitators It is easy to imitate—monkeys imitate, but men create—new forms of transportation, new sanitary laws, new and more beautiful architectural designs, new race ideals, and even new methods of religious worship. So long as the Negro is content to play the monkey role in his religious worship, in his social activities, and in his political proclivities; just so long will he be the target at which race prejudice is hurled. Don't be a monkey, be a character—you may, if you will, be master of your fate and captain of your soul. You can so conduct yourself in public places that you will gain the recognition and respect of every man with whom you come in tough, and the time will come whenever you will forget that you are what is called colored, and different from the man of white skin. Don't be a monkey, be a member of a race with ideals like other races which have found and occupy worthy places in the annals of history. Don't be a monkey—imitating the social traits and habits of a race weary with the achievements of its superior civilization, rocked drunk in the lap of luxury, and crazed by the desire of that brand of joy that not only degenerates, but destroys the nobler ideals of mankind.—California Eagle. Size a Handicap In Missionary Work STONY BROOK, L. I., July 7.—A flutter of Laughter stirred the Interdenominational Foreign Missionaries' Conference at the Stony Brook Assembly here tonight when the Rev. J. K. Palmer, of Paterson, N. J., 6 feet 3 inches tall, told the delegates he had difficulty in his work in Africa because the natives, awed by his size, often fled when he approached. Mr. Palmer was a soldier in the British Army during the world war. The Rev. George Rhoades. Congo missionary, told the delegates: "Too much religious energy is spent today in religious ecstasy, such as hymn singing and speech making. More time should be devoted to the furtherance of the Gospel of the Lord." THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JULY 24, 1987 Proposal to Change Name to Mustapha Kemal — Eleven Centuries Has the Proud City Waxed and Waned (From the New York World) As a climax to the three-day celebration at Constantinople called forth by the arrival of Mustapha Kemal, it was reported that the name of the city would be changed by law to Mustapha-Kemal in honor of the president. If the Angora Assembly ratified this proposal the city will suffer a real humiliation. For more than eleven centuries after some Greek fishermen on the shores of the Bosphorus were startled by the blasts of the imperial trumpets announcing the selection of their village as the new capital of the world, the markets of Constantinople glittered with the choicest craftsmanship of Europe, Asia and Africa, merchants in the costumes of every nation jostled their way through her streets, and in her palaces the Ministers of the Emperor played with threads controlling the densities of men from the Black Sea to the Atlantic. When one morning in the year 1453 Mohammed II rode into Santa Sophia and struck a marble column with his aword, crecantis were substituted for crosses, but Constantinople was still the capital of a great empire. In the succeeding centuries the Ottoman wave gradually receded. London, St. Peterburg and Berlin became the seats of new empires and Turkey languished, the Sick Man of Europe. Because of her geographic position Constantinople was soon the focus of European imperialism and therefore the tinder-box from which the flames of war might at any moment flash. Then came the Great War, and with the victory of the Allies every one expected the Sick Man, as a matter of course, to die. He nearly did, and when the Greek troops landed in Smyrna in October, 1918, the morale of the Turkish people was at its lowest ebb. But invasion, curiously enough, goaded the Turks into action. Grapdose dreams of Pan-Turanianism and Pan-Islamism faded away and the Turkish national consciousness sprang into vigorous life. For the first time the efforts of the Turkish people were concentrated on their salvation. Mustapha Kemal gathered his forces in the fastness of Anatolia and was soon acknowledged the Cromwell of his country. On March 15, 1920, the British General, Milne, seized Constantinople as a protest against the doings of the Nationalist Parliament. Nationalist leaders were imprisoned and exiled. The effect of this action was to galvanize the new Turkey into rebellion, independence was declared and the Sultanate abolished. The succeeding wave of national feeling is expressed in Khaliddeh Edibi's novel, "The Shirt of Flame." The British coup of March 15 served as an object lesson, and it was decided that the new capital should be at Angola. A magnificent military position, it is difficult to attack, yet useful for military operations either westward toward European invaders, like the Greeks, or eastward toward the rebellious tribes in Khurdistan of Mosul. In the mud of a backward Turkish village Mustapha Kemal has begun to build the now Turkey. The palaces of Constantinople are emptying as their masters flock to the new seat of government, and the proud city that ruled empires for sixteen centuries is doomed to provincialism... Although the printed calendar or almanac was produced on the Continent in 1472, it was not until 1487 that the first one in English appeared. Like our present almanacs the dates and divisions of the year were freely interspersed with prophecies and astrological predictions.

Para prevenir los asesinatos por las turbas Con objeto de aplacar el rumor general de que los linchamientos son peculiares en los estados de Carolina del Norte y Carolina del Sur, sus dos gobernadores estan trabajando de comun acuerdo para evitar toda violencia por parte de las muchedumbres airadas. Esa determinación estuvo publicada en tres ocasiones durante una sola semana. En ese tiempo el gobernador McLean de la Carolina del Norte llamó en su auxilio a dos compañías de la guardia nacional para mantener el orden. El gobernador Richards, de la Carolina del Sur, envió tres compañías en veinte y cuatro horas con el mismo objeto.

Solamente una hora antes el gobernador Richards habia tenido ocasión de llamar a las tropas por primera vez durante su administración, para proteger a siete individuos de la raza que se hallaban procesados en Beaufort, acusados del asesinato del policía Latter el mismo día que este envió una division de guardias en busca de otro individuo que se dice habia insultado a una mujer blanca, y cuya noticia resultado luego ser obra de una imaginación demasiado nerviosa. Al hablar de las medidas de precaución tomadas, dijo que habia heredado de su antecesor el espiritu investigador de linchamientos, nacido del espectáculo del año pasado con la colgadura de tres individuos y que estaba dispuesto a no permitir más actos de esta clase. Si las tropas y la policía actuan rapidamente no habra más linchamientos en las Carolinas, al menos mientras yo esté en el poder, dijo el gobernador. La actitud del gobernador MacLean es la misma. En la Carolina del Norte no ha habido más linchamientos en seis años, y durante los dos últimos años el gobernador ha hecho salir a las tropas más de dos veces para aplacer desórdenes. Los linchamientos, dijo el gobernador, ocurren muchas veces porque las tropas no son llamadas a tiempo y las medidas preventivas no son suficientes.
