PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK TEN CENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE U. & A. TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES VOL. XXIII. No. 1 How To Make The Hon. Marcus Garvey Happy Members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are now in the midst of their convention programs. As each year passes and convention time comes around once again; responsibilities increase and loyal members become more serious. It requires sound minds and stout hearts to carry on year after year zealously and with unflagging zeal when the chief is gone. Sound minds, not easily upset by petty controversies and bickerings; stout hearts, not easily discouraged by the enforced absence of the shepherd. The followers of Marcus Garvey have been told many times that they have stood the test well. Onlookers have never ceased to marvel at the splendid spirit displayed by members and the truly surprising exhibition of faith in the principles of the organization and loyalty to its great founder and leader. Negroes have proven that they are prepared for anything. The time was not long ago when no such thing could have happened, no such situation could have obtained for so long a time. Garvey's sublime faith in his people has been more than vindicated. Imprisonment was a terrible fate for him to meet. We could be forgiven if the thought of it made us bitter. But when he was free, Garvey wrought well. Consciously or unconsciously, Garveyites have learned that, no matter how much we love the man, the principles of the organization are the chief consideration. And he taught his lesson well. Time is telling how well. No organization of the kind and of the size of the Universal Negro Improvement Association can fail to have to face a continuous stream of grave problems. The very nature of the organization makes such matters crop up daily. There will always be a difference of opinion. There can be no real progress without it. The Negro is just learning the important lesson of differing without separating. Most of the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association have learned how to do this. In this one fact lies the secret of whatever success the organization has enjoyed during the absence of the Honorable Marcus Garvey. The organization will soon turn a new leaf and start another lap of its journey toward African redemption and the establishing of a nation for Negroes in the land that God gave us. The Honorable Marcus Garvey is mute; his hands are tied; but he is imploring you from his heart to remain true to your trust and carry on in spite of all. No man, white or black; could have a finer ideal, a higher goal than that which has been set by the Honorable Marcus Garvey for the Negro peoples of the world. Other nations and races, white and colored, are watching with bated breath to see if the Negro has reached the stage in his racial development where he can appreciate and cling to such an ideal. The die is cast. The question is whether we are going to come through with flying colors, or are we going to be foolish and lose sight of the substance, pursuing the shadow? Convention time is the time when constructive and progressive programs should be introduced and planned. The great Universal Negro Improvement Association is a collection of units called divisions. As the divisions progress and expand, so will the organization develop. No member should ever forget for one instant this very important fact. Submerge your individuality. Forget self. Think only in terms of the welfare of the organization. Success is bound to attend your efforts if you pursue such a course. You have been wondering how to make the Honorable Marcus Garvey happy. This is how.—THE EDITORS. HON. E. B. KNOX IN BRILLIANT ADDRESS DRIVES HOME SOME TRUTHS WHICH EVERY U. N. L. A. MEMBER SHOULD PONDER ANEW U. N. I. A. TODAY IS STRONGER THAN EVER It Was Garvey Who Interpreted to the Negro the Spirit of the New Age; It Was Garvey Who Emancipated the Negro's Mind; It Is Garvey Who Still Is in the Saddle LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday Night, August 7. It was very gratifying to note the splendid enthusiasm that swept perceptibly over the vast crowd that jammed Liberty Hall tonight on the occasion of the weekly mass meeting of the Mother Division. The resignation of the Hon. F. A. Toote as 1st Asst. President-General, coming somewhat in the nature of a surprise to many, monopolized pre-meeting conversation, and as the proceedings began a great stillness fell upon the assembly, all eyes being turned to the procession line, to the figures of the outgoing acting president and the Hon. E. B. Knox, personal representative of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, President-General. But if the congregation sought to read in the faces or demeanor of the two principals, Messrs. Toote and Knox, any signs of rancor or ill-will they lamentably failed. Hon. F. A. Toote was his usual self as he presided over the meeting and urged the members to rally to the Red, the Black and the Green and back their sentiments with money so necessary for the furthering of the program. As for Mr. Knox, he scored a distinct triumph, as in simple, direct fashion he reminded his hearers that the fate of the Universal Negro Improvement Association reposed in no little group here or there; that the Association was at present stronger than ever in its history; that Marcus Garvey, with added strength and influence, was at the helm of the ship of state and all that was needed of them was courage, patience and co-operation, the one with the other. His speech was punctuated with applause, and at its close he received a The meeting opened with prayer followed by the usual exercises and concerted program, to which the Universal Band, under Prof. Hassell, and the Universal Choir, under Mr. R. Lord, were the chief contributors. After the announcements had been made the speechmaking followed. First to be introduced was Prof. S. R. Williams, who spoke a word of cheer to the members, reminding them of the seriousness of their task, judging their leader and expressing the hope that they would so work as to make the latter proud of them as he lay housed in his prison cell. Next before the audience was Dr. J. A. Diaz, of Philadelphia, who in a brief speech discounted the theory that had been advanced that the Negro in Africa was not as healthy as the white man, while urging the need for greater attention to modern sanitary and scientific laws. He promised to address them at length on health problems at a later date. Miss Campbell, a member of the Buffalo Division, was next introduced, and she, too, took the opportunity to congratulate the membership upon its spendid showing and to express the hope that they would go forward undismayed and unafraid to victory. Mr. Toote next introduced Mr. E. B. Knox, the personal representative of the President General, at present attending the Convention sessions of the New York Division. HON. E. B. KNOX'S ADDRESS Hon. E. B. Knox, personal representative of the President-General, spoke as follows: "Fellow officers, members and friends of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. I want first to confess that my experience with you during the last few days in which we have been laboring together trying to solve your problems and mine have been an experience which has impressed me that you are all loyal Garveyites. "I have elected to speak to you tonight on the subject. 'The Negro and the New Age.' A casual glance at current history will convince any thinking person that we are literally living in a new age, we are living in an age when there is greater concern over what a man thinks—over his mind than about his hand. The attitude of the world is changing. It is changing as to mechanical things, it is changing as to material things, it is changing as to spiritual things. Glancing at the papers today you will notice that one of the rinks which has caused such a revolution in thought since 1914, in the person of the ex-Emperor of Germany, is now saying that it is absolutely necessary to the best interests of the white race that they change their attitude toward the darker races; that it is absolutely necessary that the white nations change their attitude. To quote him: 'The attitude of the white race toward the colored races must undergo a complete reeduction.' A Different Tune Today "That is a strange thing coming from the mouth of a white man. That is a different tune from that of the last seven years. It shows conclusively that we are living in a pwow age. This is an age of science; this is an age of education; this is an age of mechanical innovations and operations; this is an age when the world has a great regard for power. Power is the thing that ruler; power is the thing that controls the audience. and by reason of the fact that it is more scientific ideals are more easily communicated; the thoughts of one nation, the doings of one nation, the mental development of one nation are so much the more easily communicated to another nation by reason of the development of the radio, the telephone, the airplane, electrical and steam power. By reason of these things a nation is able today to make its ideas effective so quickly and to such an extent that other people do not have time to ponder whether the United States is right, whether Great Britain is right in all that they are doing, but the first consideration is that they have power, and everything must fall before them. Confusion of ideas About Religion "And that applies to all peoples. The great trouble with the Negro, one of the most troubled things in the Negro's life, is that he confuses his ideas about religion. That is the greatest trouble with the Negro in adjusting himself to the new age. The leading nations of the world found out and decided a long time ago that in order that their ideals may be better perpetuated. In order that their ideas about civilization may be better passed on to posterity, it would be best to separate Church and State; that it would be best to separate religion from business. Now, when you advocate any such policy as that among Negroes, the very first thing that they say is that you are an infidel or an atheist or that you are denouncing God, and the Negro race is inclined until this very day to look to its minister, to its preachers, for leadership in every field of endeavor, unaware of the fact that the minister's guidance should end with spiritual things. But, in all ages, nations and peoples have depended upon their outstanding thinkers for guidance. Sometimes they have made mistakes by doing this, sometimes they have had their confidence abused by false leaders, but the races and nations have nevertheless made progress, and I venture to state that all the progress of human society is a result of the leadership it has had. Marcus Garvey "The greatest and most courageous leader the Negro people have ever had was Marcus Garvey. (Applause.) There never was a man before who championed the cause of Negroes, who had the courage to defy the powers that be in order to free the Negro's mind from the infertility complex. There never was a Negro leader who had the courage to proclaim that the greatest necessity of the Negro was a government of his own. There was never a Negro leader who was so conversant with the necessities for the progress of the Negro race as to bring to them a program that was as thorough-going as the program of Marcus Garvey. (Applause.) Marcus Garvey taught Negroes all over the world to organize; he showed them how to bring themselves together, and it is not strange that we sometimes have a little difficulty in trying to get together. No, it is not strange. All people in the early days of their rise from insignificance to power have experienced the same difficulties that the Negro race has experienced, and I do not think it is any more ridiculous for some of us to have a little sensation in Liberty Hall sometimes than it is for great crowds of us to assemble ourselves in some of these other places and make ourselves servile to false encounters of people that do not mean the race any good. **Wrathful Vengeance on Survey** *Throne Survey* has incurred the M-will of a certain type of leader. *Throne Survey* has incurred the M-will of certain governments because he has insured the foundation from under their false teachings for over three hundred years. He has incurred the ill-will in certain powerful quarters because he has centered the minds and attention of Negro peoples on Africa, the richest continent in the world.-Africa, the land of their fathers, without which many of the squabbling nations of Europe would not have bread to eat, and so the powerful of the world are trying to wreak vengeance on Marcus Garvey. But I believe with all the earnestness of my soul and mind that 400,000,000 Negroes will be able to overcome every obstacle that is set in their way. I believe they will be able to overcome everything that prevents 400,000,000 Negroes from joining hands and placing their hands in God's hand. They are humiliating my people; but in the spirit of Him that came here to see that every man had, a fair chance in the world, in the spirit of Him Who said that every man should treat the other as a brother and God as the Father, we shall win. Marcus Garvey is the leader of 400,000,000 Negroes. (Great applause.) Marcus Garvey is the man who has interpreted to the Negro the spirit of this new age. Marcus Garvey is the man who has interpreted the spirit of the new age to the Negro. He had a hard time doing it, though. All leaders have a hard time, because when people are just beginning to rise the first thing they think about is themselves. That is the thing that fooled the world about Marcus Garvey. They felt that Marcus Garvey, as all the other leaders, was thinking about himself in preference to his people. But they deceived themselves. They exhausted every scheme to put Marcus Garvey in fall, but Marcus Garvey in Atlanta penitentiary is stronger than he ever was before. (Applause.) An Imprognable Program An Imprognable Program "Ever since the middle of last year I have been going there, and every time I go there he impresses upon me that he is mapping out a programme now that the world will not be able to impede. (Applause.) I am mapping out a programme now," he says, "that is going to be a different programme from the programme of eight years ago." Some of us do not realize the magnitude of this affair. I only wish I could say some of the things that Garvey said. Some of us think that this little affair here in New York is the whole cheese: some of us think that this little contention that we have here is destined to shake the foundation of the Universal Negro Improvement Association; but, my friends and members of this militant organization, let me tell you that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is stronger today than it has ever been before. (Applause.) And I say it without fear of successful contradiction. Lots of times we do not know it, but they know it in Washington. Do you know that a man went to Washington interceding for Marcus Garvey, and he was asked did he think that Marcus Garvey was the cause of this uprising over in China; if he was the cause of the uprising in India; if he was the cause of the unrest that is going on now in the world. Of course, we won't say what the man said, but the time is coming—it is not far distant—when the Negro people of the world are going to come into their own. The only thing necessary is for us to have patience. Flight on! Flight a good flight! Don't become disturbed if some of us lose the course. Remember Marcus Garvey as the American white man remembers George Washington. Marcus Garvey is the father of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Marcus Garvey is the man who understands it best. Marcus Garvey is the man who has promulgated a programme that is causing all the Negroes of the world to gradually fall in line. Never before did you hear of any Pan-African movement. Never before did you see newspapers writing about Africa. Never before have you heard Negroes talking about they had brothers anywhere outside of America. If they happened to be there, or outside of the West Indies, if they happened to be there. But since Marcus Garvey has come on the scene Negroes are proclaiming that they have 400,000,000 brothers and sisters. I never thought of it myself. I will frankly confess, until Marcus Garvey came. Before Marcus Garvey came I always was taught that I had fifteen million brothers and sisters and a few far-off savage relatives in Africa that didn't mean much; that they lived on a 'dark continent' where civilization could not survive; but since Marcus Garvey you see Africa every day in the newspapers, you see Africa in the school books, you see Africa in the biological works, in the philosophical teachings, you see Africa on the lips of people who heretofore said they had lost nothing in Africa. everything in the sea and everything on the land.' It was Marion Carrys who entered your attentions upon the land and the sea and told you to think not about dying and after death, because that will be the way of life. come that will take care of them. "That but not least, an loyal member of this organization, as people who are disgusted with tussleiness in the Negro race, as a people who have learned something from experience in the past, set your minds and your souls on your leader. Do not forseke him. Do not become confused in your mind because we need a government. The way you are going to get a government is by the united efforts of 400,000,000 Negroes. It won't be under a little group in Chicago, under a little group in New York or anywhere else in the world that you are going to make the white powers take heed, but it takes the united support of the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world, and if Marcus Garvey in the face of all kinds of persecution can keep his heart intently upon the program of this great organization, why can't you do it here who breathe the free air, who have the privilege to go and come at your own will and act according to the dictates of your conscience? Why can't you pin your minds down to the Constitution of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and resolve that regardless of what may befall you you are going to stand the rest of your lives trying to make a reality of 'Africa for the Africans,' to build in Africa a government of your own?" (Prolonged applause.) HON. F. A. TOGTE'S ADDRESS Hon. F. David. Toote followed with the closing address. He said he felt it his duty to quiet some silly rumors that had sprung up that there was enmity between the great leader of the organization and himself. Those were wasting their time, he declared, who sought to spread wild canards to that effect. The Hon. Marcus Garvey was the head of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and he, the speaker, had too great a sense of loyalty to the organization and its founder to do anything to disturb the peace of mind of the imprisoned leader. He was a loyal Garveyite and would be to the end of time. Mr. Toote then launched into a rousing appeal for funds, to which there was a generous response. The meeting closed with the singing of the President's hymn and the Ethiopian National Anthem. How the State Department Grew From Small Things The State Department, which dates from 1789, has become, through growth and dismemberment, the Foreign Office of the United States. The Secretary of State is the ranking member of the Cabinet and comes next to the Vice-President in line of succession to the President. The office of Secretary of State has become one of power and prestige, as the Secretary, under direction of the President, conducts all the foreign affairs of the nation. Before the Revolution the Colonies undertook the conduct of foreign affairs. The State Department grew from a committee on Secret Correspondence, which represented the Continental Congress and later the Congress of the United States. The Department of Foreign Affairs was organized in 1781, with a secretary and a clerk. The Secretary of State has custody of the great seal of the United States and is alone empowered to auxit it to treaties, proclamations and other documents. He publishes the laws and resolutions of Congress, amendments to the Constitution and is custodian of all State papers. From a personal portfolio in 1751 the State Department has grown to a great department of the Government, with secretary, an under secretary and four assistant secretaries, directing a personnel of 4,270.-New York Sun. Hamilton and Burr Quarrel Long-Lived John Adams had it in his power to precipitate the Hamilton-Burr duel seven years before it took place, according to a letter written to Dr. Benjamin Waterhouse, Harvard College professor, July 12. 1811, recently published in the Atlantic Monthly. He wrote in part: "H. and Burr, in point of Ambition were equal. In Principle equal. In Talents different. H, Superior in Literary Talents: B, In, Military. H, a Nevis Adventurer. B, descended from the earliest, most learned, pious and virtuous of our American Nation, and buoyed up the prejudices of half the Nation. He found himself thwarted, persecuted, calumniated by a wandering stranger. The deep Malice of H, against Burr, and his indefatigable exertions to defame him are little known. I knew So much of it for a Course of Years, that I wondered a Duel had not taken Place Seven Years before it did. I could have produced Such a Duel at any Moment for Seven Years. I kept the Secrets Sacred and inviolable; and have kept them to this day. "I can do no more." Ducks Shed Water Because They Oil Coats Ducks and other waterfowl are able to shed water because their feathers are kept in an oilied condition. Oil and water will not mix. If you will observe ducks in a rain storm or as they paddle about in a pond you will notice that they frequently bend their heads back and rub oil from the oil gland at the base of the tail case their heads, may the "Puffingender." Then from their heads they oil their entire body. In addition to being supplied with this oil, the feathers on a duck are exceedingly close together, a condition which allows moisture in housing over the water. With a definite outline of the philosophy of Humanism, which he professes, Dr. Arthur Wakefield Slaten made recently his final address of the season in the West Side Unitarian Church in New York which is to be closed until Sept. 11. Humanism he defined as an eclectic philosophy emphasizing the obvious relations of human beings rather than their alleged relations to God. "In Humanism," Dr. Slaten said, "a man counts as a man, not as a miserable sinner, a worm of the dust, or a lost soul. Human beings are neither as good nor as bad as they are often asserted to be. Humanists regard mankind as a rare product of nature, the most precious product of the evolutionary process. Yet the Humanist does not defy or worship humanity and cherishes no illusions as to human nature. "Humanism values all things in respect to their effect upon human welfare. For the Humanist, civilization, the industrial system, education, religious institutions, the state and social conventions must all justify themselves by this test. "Belief, disbelief, or agnosticism as regards the ideas of God and immortality are not implicit and essential to the Humanist. Humanism is not a fixed formula of opinion but an attitude toward life. If by the term 'God' is meant the spiritual potentiality of the universe, a Humanist can use the term. Man, the incomprehensive spiritual being, is here. Apparently the universe has produced him. The universe must then have in it its power to produce such a being. This does not force us to believe in a delity separate and apart from the universe; it increases our reverence for the universe itself. "In the possibility of a complete realization of individuals and the fuller perfection of society Humanism finds a powerful incentive to upright living and a sufficient objective for the process of evolution." Rain of Oueer Things No popular belief is more firmly fixed than that frogs, small fish, snakes, angle-worms, turtles, insects and other small creatures are drawn up into the clouds by the sun and later rained down upon the earth. Any thinking man knows that the sun, which cannot vaporize the salt in the ocean and carry it into the clouds, cannot pick up small animals and hold them floating in the atmosphere. The presence of these creatures on the ground immediately after a shower is probably due to one of two reasons, says the Pathfiner. In the case of frogs, worms, turtles and insects, they were probably there before the rain and the downpour stimulated them into activity. In the case of fish and some other creatures, it is quite possible, scientists explain, for a waterspout or cyclonic whirlwind to scoop up a pond and its contents and deposit it at a distant point just as it will carry pebbles and pieces of wood a long distance. So-called "blood showers" usually consist of colored dust, volcanic ash or plant pollen in the raindrops. The most northern radio station in the world is that just planted by the Soviet government on Cape Desire, which juts into the Arctic Zone just west of Archangel, Siberia. It will be used to communicate with aerial Arctic explorers. Start full of Pep! Get now ENERGY, now VIM, now PEP, now VIGOR of Youth right away.

PREACH THE GOSPEL OF CONSERVATION OF RACE RESOURCES THE NEGRO WORLD makes its appearance when the locals of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are in the second and last week of their conventions. These conventions were authorized because it was not considered wise and advantageous to hold an International Convention in 1927. It was, therefore, decided that the local units should meet for two weeks and discuss their needs and the needs of the parent organization, a list of subjects to be considered having been suggested by the Acting President General, Hon. Fred A. Toote. It is to be hoped that the discussion of the subject will have been general when the conventions end their work, and that great benefit to the association will accrue from the discussion. There is nothing so helpful in the work of an association as a full and frank discussion of all phases of its work. Such discussion should be possible and insisted upon at every regular business meeting of the several locals. In this way the condition of the association and its many needs can best be kept in the minds of the members and help to guide them in their efforts for the general good of the association. The gospel of conservation of race resources should not be lost sight of for a moment. It should be preached as a duty upon all proper occasions. Now, what is meant by conservation of race resources. Some will say one thing and some another. There will be the widest divergence of opinion, as there has been, and as there always will be, where great interests are involved. Saving Africa for the Africans and the building in Africa of a Negro nation are among the most important of the sentiments which underly the purposes of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Every great movement always centers around a great sentiment, in the absence of which mass organization and development are impossible. In the last analysis, the world is moved by sentiment, which has its roots deep in human hope and aspiration for higher and better living. We cannot save Africa for the Africans, nor build a state for Negroes in Africa, unless everywhere we conserve to the utmost, make the most and not the least of the social, civil and economic values of the race. In our social relations we need a high standard of morals, to begin with, relations which touch the home and family life intimately and make for weal or woe, as the family life is the basis of race and national life. When the moral standards are low in the family life they will be low in the race and national life. That is well understood. It is, therefore, of the first importance that we cultivate the highest and best moral standards. It is noticeable that there is a positive tendency everywhere to lower the moral standards of living, in the life of families and races and nations. If we have high moral standards in the home and the race and nation we are likely to have economic standards which make honesty and efficiency the rule of decent wages and hours of labor, in which the saving habit is cultivated as a virtue and tells in the prosperity alike to the family, the race and the nation. We all need to understand this fact, and the more we shape our conduct by it the better it will be for us. In the last analysis, it is not what one makes but what one saves that counts. The aggregate of savings represents the working capital of the vast industrialism which makes this one of the richest periods in the history of mankind. There was never more wealth, more savings, more working or developing capital, in the world than there is today. It is up to each person to have a share in all of this, a share helpful to him and to mankind generally. The person who systematically begins by saving a little will come in time to own much, and it is the savings of the average person which make up the aggregate wealth of the community and of the nation. It is said that the Negro is a great producer and consumer of wealth, but that he does not save much. Those who have this weakness of not saving something of what they earn or produce should labor to overcome it. The race everywhere needs more wealth than it is credited with, and can only have as others get it, by saving the pennies and properly investing the dollars as the pennies grow into dollars. The members of the Universal Improvement Association give it to their great leader, President General Marcus Garvey, who taught them the value of so doing, to preach the gospel of conservation of these resources and to practice what they preach. In every community these members should be the leaders in the social, the civil and the business life of the race. They have the light and they should have the leading of the race into higher and better conditions of guild, civil and economic living. Every Liberty Hall should include the rostrum from which to preach the gospel of conservation of resources. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 12, 1937 Cancer is more prevalent among women than among men. For this reason Dr. Leila Chariton Knox, writing for a recent issue of *Hygiene*, urges that mothers, teachers, nurses and other women engaged in public education become familiar with certain facts regarding cancer and help to impart these facts to the women with whom they come in contact. In this way they will help women to protect themselves against cancer. Everyone should remember that certain types of cancer can be prevented and that certain kinds, if discovered early and treated immediately, can be cured. Many cancers come from constant irritation. Skin cancers sometimes come from the constant rubbing of clothing on a mole. Cancers of the mouth are sometimes caused by irritation against a rough surface of a tooth. These cancers can be prevented by removing the cause of the irritation. A great many cancers can be discovered early, if people will get in the habit of having complete health examinations at least once a year by a competent physician. Women can save themselves a great deal of suffering in middle life if they will make certain of proper repair after childbirth and have a yearly physical examination. Most evidence indicates that cancer is not infectious or contagious. As yet, it has not been proved to be hereditary. Don't worry needlessly about it. Live a moderate life and have yearly health examinations and you will be doing much to prevent it. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS Mankind hungers for what science cannot give. Men want peace, love joy; comfort in sorrow; a stay in trouble; hope for deliverance from their baser elements, and that science cannot bestow. He who worships the inventions and evolutions of science as the hope of the world worships a false delity who will lead him into a chaos of confusion, and a mirage of hopeless pessimism.—Star of Zion. Race rlots are not an expression of high moral purpose in a community. The men who make up the mobs, destroy and kill as the one way they can give vent to their feelings. They have no thought of protecting womanhood. They kill women when the blood lust is on them, proving hate. not ideals, animates them.—Kansas City Call. It is incumbent upon the entire press to uphold the sanctity of the profession, whenever it is in jeopardy. Of course, no reasoning editor would uphold another in the prosecuting of unethical plans. We do not propose to do this, on the other hand, we do propose to lend our assistance to any editor who appears to be in the right, and who is exerting his best energies to correct an evil which is for the good of most of the people.—Chicago World. Were one forbidden to speak, possibly there would be nothing else one would want to do so much. It is a voluntary act but most of us carry it on almost involuntarily. We are so accustomed to talking that it is automatic, though were it less so much of the conversation might prove greater value. In the cases of those of us not suffering from defective speech, periods of silence might prove highly beneficial. Thoughts might catch up with conversation.—California Eagle. When men look at you in a queer way, don't think they are admiring you; they may only want to know why you look that way.—Newport News Star. As a people we need never expect recognition so long as we are content to remain hewers of wood and drawers of water. The world is not deaf to the demands made by people of achievement. Account must be taken of any group who makes itself indispensable by acquiring wealth and intelligence. The Jew is still hated, but the country cannot get along without his money, his financial okeh.—California Voice. That individual in the group who honestly makes up his mind to succeed along some line should receive the glad hand of every same person; give him encouragement instead of knocks.—Oklahoma Eagle. We can foresee that in West Africa this will be a long and tedious process and nearly impossible of accomplishment in one or two generations, but we know the white man's ways; that he never stops; he never regs. What he cannot do in this generation he will do in the next or the one after, and therefore our duty to porosity is clear. Not only must we live Down all difficulties which make united local effort difficult, but we must also promote throughout British West Africa in general that spirit of determined support of our liberties both political and economic, which will safeguard the interests of porosity.—Gold Coast Leader. DEATH NOTICE KING, GERALDINE (nee Gittison), age 53 years. Mrs. King was the sister of Uriah Gittison, executive secretary of the New York Division, Universal Negro Improvement Association, and of Joseph N. Gittison, deceased. She died on June 15, 1927, at Virginia, Liberia, West Africa, after a very short illness with what was thought to be yellow fever. Mrs. King went to Liberia from New York in October, 1928. She was employed at the Lost Carry Mission as a giving member. THE BATTLE HYMN OF AFRICA Africa's sun is shining above the horizon clear, The day for us is rising, for black men far and near; Our God is in the front line, the heavily batallion leads, Onward, make your banners shine, ye men of noble deeds. Thee's a flag we love so well— The red, the black and green, Greatest emblem tongues can tell, The brightest ever seen. When pandemonium breaks, the earth will tremble fast, Nor oceans, seas nor lakes shall save the first or last; Our suffering has been long, our cries to God ascending; We have counted every wrong which calls for an amending. So into battle let us go, with the Cross before; The Angels greet, from high to low, watch forevermore; We see the enemy scatter, and watch their ranks divide— With God there is no fetter for whom He doth provide. All God's children, in trouble, or burdened down with care, No matter where, how humble. His love is ever there; So cheerful let our courage be and rally for the King. The Savior, Christ, the Lord, is He, whom angels tidings bring. Ho, Africa, victorious! See, the foe goes down! The Christ and Simon lead us to wear the triumphant crown; Jesus remembers dearly the sacrifice with the cross, So raise those banners gladly—never to suffer loss! And so the war is ending, the victor's palm is ours: Crushed 'neath a sorry bending, like dead, fallen flowers Thus lay the proud men of the day, all lost, forever. Where the demons never say to God, "We'll deliver." MARCUS GARVEY. Copyright, July, 1927. Britain, the mainstay of the League of Nations, the first power to intervene in disputes between nations, ranks first." In order to preserve its prestige in Africa and Asia, Great Britain thinks it must keep in the forefront strong arm methods with which it has bluffed and bullied its way around the globe. It is because the United States and Japan refused to co-operate with Great Britain in its policy of coercing China, as in the days before the World War, and other small and independent nations, that Great Britain has made the stand at Geneva it has been making to break down the barriers to a large navy, against which the Great Powers have registered their protest and to which the British are signatories as of the Washington disarmament conference. Its attitude toward Soviet Russia is based upon the policy of irritating the nerves of the little Balkan States which in turn will irritate the nerves of the big European States, and while they are scrapping among themselves to buttress more securely British interest in Egypt and other parts of Africa and in India and other parts of India; but this sort of tactics by Germany and Austria brought on the World War, in which the claim has been made that Germany had Great Britain's promise of neutrality. Great Britain is so strong on land and sea as to find it easy to profit most by stirring up strife among its neighbors on the Continent without appearing openly to do so. The attitude of the United States and Japan toward the policies of Great Britain, especially as a strife breeder that she may get advantage out of the mixup, has brought about a new condition of affairs in which Great Britain is by no means the dominating factor in the international game of crab and divide what others have she may want, by and with the consent or silent acquiescence of the United States and Japan. It is something very new to see Great Britain bite its tongue as it has been made to do in China. MEXICAN LABOR IN THE SOUTHERN STATES THE question of Mexican labor in the United States has assumed proportions which attract the attention of the American Federation of Labor, and other organized agencies related to labor interests, such as corporation and syndicate and individual employers of labor, and is said to have become a problem in all of the sections of the country except the eastern. In the Southern States there was no great deal of complaint against Mexican immigration as long as it supplied the deficiency in the unskilled labor supply brought about by the wholesale migration of Negroes during and since the World War period, to supply the demand made by the war and by the new immigration laws, which radically reduce the annual increase of the labor supply from Europe: it was when this Mexican labor supply began to infringe upon white southern labor that an issue was made of it. It is usually that way: You must first gore the white man's ox before he will feel the blood flow from him. The New York World says editorially: Definite annual quotas for Mexican immigration into the United States are being urged by officials of the Department of Labor. They assert that a serious situation has arisen because of the number of Mexicans who come across the border into the United States and have spread through the country until they are firmly established everywhere except in New England. The number of Mexicans now in the United States is estimated at close to 3,000,000. The number to come in last year was 67,939. This did not include the many who got in without being officially checked at the border immigration offices. Migration of the Southern Negro to the north has resulted in the bringing of more Mexicans to fill the gap left in the ranks of unskilled workers. The complaint against Mexicans supplanting white men in their jobs has been increasing each year in the south, and now it is becoming heard in the middle west, where more than 80,000 Mexicans are employed at a wage averaging from thirty-nine to forty-nine cents an hour. The countries in this hemisphere are the only ones not yet put upon a quota basis. In dealing with immigration on its own continent, Congress is going to find itself up against a more trying problem than when it fixed quotas for European and Asiatic countries. The recent flood of waters in the Mississippi States has greatly increased the difficulties of labor conditions in the Southern States, as a large number of Negroes were released from plantation slavery, practiced generally in one way and another by the planters, who will seek new homes and labor outside of the Southern States. This is as it should be. When you have a good thing and don't appreciate it you stand to lose it. The trouble white labor and the employers of labor are having with Mexican labor, and do not have with Negro labor, is just what they should expect and just what they have coming to them as a spiritual gift in the even. --- Regulament in Pascal Brigadier General Reginald E. Dyer, suppressor of the Amritanar rebellion in India in 1919, died in England some weeks ago. He was the bloodthirsty tyrant who ordered his troops to fire on a admonished mob of Indian natives "to strike terror into the whole of the Punjab," killing 119 outright and wounding 1,200. For this act of Anglo-Saxon chivalry the imperialistic press of Great Britain honored him with the sobriquet of "The Man Who Saved India," and raised $120,000 for him by public subscription. But the shrewd political wisdom of the older statesmen prevailed and Dyer was removed from command and disbarred from military service in India, even though the Indian Government was disposed to condone the slaughter as justifiable. The teeming millions of India, groaning under the weight of oppression, will never forget Dyer of the Punjab, just as how millions of Afro-Americans will never forget Dyer of Missouri. The Amritanar massacre takes its place in Indian history alongside that of "The Black Hole of Calcutta" and "The Massacre of Cawiphire," while Dyer will keep immortal company with such deserts as Genghis Khan, and Cortes. Raking natya mobs in India and other colonies with machine gun fire is the quickest way to bring about the disintegration of the British dynasty. Schuyler Stars in Comic Role In one of his reviews some weeks ago Mr. George E. Schuyler referred to me as a black klansman and a preacher of hatred against white people. Writing in the Pittsburgh Courier he informed the public that Negro Nationalism is a wild and insane scheme. He called the writer a "lampblacked klansman," leading his followers astray with absurd doctrines of fanatical racialism destined to cause infinitely more pain than pleasure. This brilliant young man, ignorant of what is going on behind the scenes in Africa, says: "But I know that Negroes in Africa have no rights of possession and almost no authority, except in a couple of native states, such as Basutoland and Zululand." He does not agree that "there is unanimity of opinion among whites as to their treatment of Negroes," and calls me a "shallow-pated propagandist" for broadcasting the contention that Elihu Root and "Pit" Harrison, the Governor of Arkansas, and Branting of Sweden, E. D. Morel and Roger Casement, Imperial Wizard Evana and Bibb Graves of Alabama, Mary White Ovington and Premier Hertog of South Africa, Frank Harris and Thomas Lixon, J. E. Spingarn and the Governor of Mississippi are equally bitten by the bug of colorophilia. That there is a difference of opinion among white people in the treatment of Negroes, Mr. Schuyler cities the investigation of the Belgian atrocities, the abolition of slavery in this country, the birth and support of our Negro schools and colleges, the right of Negroes to vote at the polls, and closes his argument by saying that "Mr. Haynes wouldn't be able to preach unreasoning hatred against white folks." When Black Sees White Such contentions as these are the logical conclusions of a white mind encaused in a black body. Like millions of others, alien education and environment have not made Mr. Schuyler "see the world as it is," but as it should be seen from the white man's point of view. No white journalist speaks of a "United States of Europe" as a wild and insane scheme, nor does a Scotchman refer likewise to the program for "Scottish independence." "Chinese Nationalism," "Egyptian independence," "India for the Indians." These are slogans accepted by those who shape the destiny of mankind as within the bounds of justice and reason. And an awkward public conscience looks upon "Negro Nationalism" as a valid demand, though belated. Is only wild and insane in the opinion of white men who fear its success, and Negroes like Mr. Schuyler who are like "dumb driven cattle." Years of travel and experience coupled with a persistent study of those problems which make for jealousy, hatred and war, have convinced me that peace on earth may be realized only when the families of the human race recognize the rights and privileges of each other, remain within the bounds of their habitation, and dwell together in brotherly love. Two families with the same ambitions cannot live peacefully under the same roof, more especially where one is strong and the other weak. In the course of time the weak—as in the case of the Red Indian and the aborigines of Australia—will be exterminated and the strong remain master of the situation. That's the race problem in these United States and elsewhere to which there is but one bloodless solution—political separation of the races by mutual content and understanding. Let the white men rule in America and Europe, let the yellow man rule in Asia, and let the black man live at peace with the world in Africa, the land of his fathers. If this is Ku Klux Klanism, then make the best of it. Courage. Man. Courage! Mr. Schuyler says that such absurd doctrines of fanatical rashism are destined to cause infinitely more pain than pleasure. That's a matter for the oppressors to decide, not the oppressed. It all depends upon how far the white man is willing to go in conceding the right of the Negro to live his own life free from the dictation of others. Who ever heard of pleasure in the quest for freedom? The thought of pain and suffering frightens Mr. Schuyler. There is no pleasure in the struggle for freedom and independence, save the knowledge that truth and justice always triumph. Suppose Christ had condoned the civilization of his day and become part of the multitude who lived a life of pleasure and indifference! Suppose He had not lived with pain in Gethsemano and on Calvary! Would there have been any spiritual redemption for us? Where would Mr. Schuyler be today had George Washington. Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry deserted the pathway of pain for that of pleasure? Where would Ireland, Turkey, India, Egypt, Morocco, China and Africa be today had Torence McSwiney, Kemal Pasha, Mahatma Ghandi, Zaghoul Pasha, Abd-El-Krim, Dr. Run Yat Sen and Marcus Garvey followed the gay channels of pleasure rather than the ocean of pain? When Mr. Schuyler and those who think like him produce some authentic documentary evidence from the archives of the past to prove that Negroes in Africa have no rights of possession to their own country, it will be time enough to forget about Africa. Does he not know that leading European historians, and even Livingstone and Stanley, declared that the seizure of Africa by force of arms and the microrepresentation of the Christian religioin is the biggest single robbery in the animals of civilization? Ninety per cent. of the land transfers, purchases, conveyances, deeds and settlements were gained by fraud and coercion. The Negro in Africa has authority, but it is such vicious propaganda like this—the kind the white man manufactures for unprincipled salesmen like Mr. Schuyler—which handicaps him in the full exercise thereof. The One and Only Way If there is anything the Negro needs better than propaganda it is more propaganda, the kind that will uncover the hidden truth, reveal age-worn lies, theories, and historical fallacies, and present to him life, as it is, as it is lived by others, and as it should be lived by him. If we are to purge ourselves of the poisonous germs of racial inferiority injected into us by an alien civilization, we must meet propaganda with counter-propaganda. Because the thoughts and actions of certain white men and women in the higher walks of life, as they affect the treatment of Negroes, appear more civilized than that of their brethren, this cannot be used as a criterion of the whole. Ethical standards demand that responsible leaders of the white race eloquently deny and upbraid the actions of their fellowmen in mistreating Negroes; this is but a means to an end and no definite proof that they are really in earnest. What have such people done to assure the passage of an anti-lynching bill? Is not Mr. Dyer, the sponsor, being persecuted for his manly stand? And how do you expect me to respect any man who lacks manhood enough to rid his country of such a curse as lynching? Mr. Dyer and the N. A. A. C. P. can succeed in getting Congress to pass an anti-lynching bill if the ladies and gentlemen Mr. Schuyler names as being different from other white people were really sincere in their gesture of interest in our welfare. Who is a friend of the Negro? Let him come forth from his hiding place. Let him forsake family and friends—for the life of a race is far greater than the lives of a few. Where is such a friend? Let him come, not tomorrow, but now, while Africa is being bled, while the dying greens of 15,000,000 black Americans second to high heaven. How Hatred Is Reencoded The Belgian atrocities were investigated not because of a difference in heart on the part of Belgian citizens, but because of the pricking of a guilty conscience and the fear of open repetition in the Belgian Congo, and probability (Continued on page 18) Paris Court Digs Up Ordinance of 1638 PARIS—Henry IV, summoned of three eminent age, basked up in court the other, day and cool a Paris garage man 160 frison.

The fact in itself is not unusual, though of course interesting, for politics is the very salt of life in Mississippi. Only one other thing so intrigues the native son of the Magnolia State as a campaign for office. The exception is a lynching. This time the lynching issue has injected itself into the election. Hence the undue significance of the coming struggle. Some persons even go so far as to see therein the most effective blow ever struck at mob violence in the South. All of the candidates are Democrats. The real election in the State is the primary, at which only Democrats vote. It really is a work of supererogation to hold the so-called general election afterward, for there is no Republican Party in Mississippi. Mississippi delegates crop up in the G. O. P. National Convention, but that is one of the mysteries that passeth understanding. Perrest County, in the guise of a group of its most representative citizens, has posed the lynching question fairly before the candidates for Sheriff. What is more, it apparently intends to take no half-way answers. Forrest County bases on the prosperous little manufacturing city of Hattiesburg, an example of progressive towns to much of the rest of the state, where the interests are largely agricultural. Hattiesburg is away from the river, and felt only indirectly the ravages of the flood that made much of the lower Mississippi Valley a hideous trevousy of its former self. Still, the flood depression had its effect upon business. Then along came the campaign talk, and Forrest County (named for the dashing Confederate cavalry officer), throw its hat into the air, gave a royal yell and informed all and sunday: "Now we will have a red-hot election and give all the merchants and bankers something real to talk about." At that time the lynching issue was not dreamed of, certainly not by the bulk of the all-white electorate. Now comes this self-constituted group, representing the public conscience, and harms a bombhell. The seven candidates for Sheriff are called upon to declare themselves "definitely, in advance of the primary," on a series of questions, of which the first typified the whole. It follows: "If elected Sheriff of Forrest County, will you defend all prisoners in your custody and preserve your jail from attack by a mob, at the risk of your own life, shooting to kill if necessary in order to perform fully your statutory oath?" --- Another question asks if the candidate will pledge himself, if elected, to appoint deputies "who will go to the same length in defending an accused from mob attack as in procuring his arrest." Even more stringent, perhaps, upon a hand-shaking orator who wants to keep all the voters as friends, is the demand that the new Sheriff issue a written warning immediately upon taking office, "that any attack upon the majesty of the law by mob will be met by all force necessary." The open letter says that the questioners "believe themselves entitled to a public answer," and concludes with the charge that there have been "seven mob murders in Mississippi in the past four months," laying the blame therefor upon the sheriffs. Among the signers of the questionnaire are some of Hattlesburg's foremost people, including Major B. D. Moore, Francis D. Harmon, editor of the American; Dr. J. L. Johnson, president of the Mississippi Woman's College; Frank W. Foote, president of the First National Bank; Dr. T. E. Ross, former president of the State Medical Association; Mrs. Howard S. Williams, suffrage and uplift leader, and many other men and women whose names count for much in that section. Perhaps it was mere coincidence that the first page of Editor Harmon's paper next morning carried an article, under display type, telling how heavily armed guards had been placed around the fall in Columbus, Miss., to prevent a mob from breaking in and lynching a prisoner. Elsewhere on the same page was an account of the legal hanging of two Negroes in Okolona, Miss., for the murder of a member of their own race. Certainly it was mere coincidence that just about the time the candidates in Forrest County were reading the open letter infuriated citizens of Hastingsburg, Miss., "ran every nigger out of town." This incident calls for a few lines of explanation, for it typifies the whole spirit of mob feeling throughout the section. The town was crowded with the usual work-and gathering of farmers. An elderly Nupo woman was learning how to automobiles and making her clothes. She ran into and in-merged with a white and small daughter of the village. The story got about when she had attended a white school in the countryside. The report about the attack and arrest of them knew that they were expected to do and not commit home, immured crimes in their houses and families. They were not tortured, tortured and tortured beyond the limits of their Nupo women. her leg. No one else suffered severe injuries, officials stated. Finally word got around as to what actually happened, but by then not a black face was to be seen in Hazlehurst. That was Saturday evening. Next morning all the black cooks were cooking breakfast in their "white folks" homes as usual, the Negro porters were in the station and the garages, affairs were as they should be in a town with half its population of African descent. There had been an unfortunate misunderstanding, but everything was straightened out and there was no occasion for hard feelings. Sabbath calm and a July sun brooded over Hazlehurst, and the odor of frying chicken was as sweet incense in the air. The Hazlehurst incident represents more than an attitude; it is the product of two generations of thought and habit.

AUGUST 13, 1917 because he thinks he will be misin- terpreted. He always postulates that one first must understand the Negro Every Southern white man is convinced that he does this. Take Mississippi, for example. There aren't enough white servants in the state to staff a summer hotel in December. In many towns a white barber was never seen and, if he were, no self-respecting white man would permit the interloper to lay hands upon his person. The term "body servant," in general use before the Civil War, survives. Virtually all the whites of means have been tended by Negro nurses and cradled by Negro "mammies." The tie that binds the "aristocratic" (still a good word in Mississippi) Southerner to his Negro "mammy" is something very widely divergent from the motif behind the "mammy" songs of Tin Pan Alley. From a standpoint of both economics and sentiment, the majority of Southern whites would feel hopelessly lost without the blacks. you care will consider girl's greatest claim to beauty sk, trim, gleaming hair that permitting the use of the hair arrangements, is abso- r smart appearance!

Just as one instance, Jefferson Davis, later to become President of the Southern Confederacy, left his entire household and estate in charge of a trusted Negro and his wife during absences that sometimes lasted months. None of the many critics of Jefferson Davis ever saw anything unusual in this. An interesting point in connection with the Hattlesburg questionnaire is that, within two days after it was issued, four city dailies published in other states, but with large Mississippi circulation, had indorsed the idea. The editors of these papers contend that it is a rare thing for a prisoner to be taken from jail in the face of determined resistance. An occasional exception only proves the rule, but many thinking persons would question whether there need be exceptions, according to the general tenor of the conservative press throughout the South. are he consider this boo to beauty g hair that use of the s, is abso- nce! has been the in their per- want to keep arrange in a use and rem Mrs. NE HAIR NELSON'S HAIR DRESSING has been the choice of those who take pride in their personal appearance—of those who want to keep their hair soft and silky, easy to arrange in a becoming manner.

Thirty-odd years ago a mob tried to storm the jail of Birmingham, Ala., to get a white man, Hawes, charged with the brutal murder of kill wife and daughters. Birmingham was a "boom" town then in the widest sense, with a population of 60,000 and prosperous suburbs, thronging with minnes and new rich, gambling wide open and houses of prostitution in alleys behind all the shops and on main streets over the saloons. It was what nowadays might have been called hard-boiled. Perhaps half the men carried revolvers when they went out nights. The sheriff was Joseph Smith, small in stature and large in determination. His jail stood across a stone-flagged driveway from the Jefferson County courthouse. He armed a dozen deputies, whom he stationed at the blind end of this driveway. Then he drew an imaginary line at the other end and urged the mob, which included many professional and business men, to re- The package of Nelson's Hair Dressing is neat and attractive.

NELSON'S HAIR DRESSING FOR MARRIES Nelson Sturbrook Hair Soft Glossy Texture expect it. When they refused, thirteen fall dead and a score wounded at the first valley. The mob was broken up and the jail was never stormed again. There is a classic story in southern Mississippi of a sheriff who had been advised by friends that a mob wanted to lynch a Negro in his jail. The sheriff was advised to have a good alibi by appointing a dance that night. He did so, but just as the mob, with pickaxes and crowbars, was tearing a hole in the side of the prison, the official, who had a strong sense of property values, could stand the thought no longer. He hurried from the dance to the place where the mob was at work and shouted: "Wait, boys, don't rule that good jail! Wait a minute and I'll unlock the door for you." Still another, this one with its locale just across the river in Louisiana, of a mob that moved twice to keep from hanging its victim in the corporate limits of a town. When the raps were thrown over the third time someone in the crowd cried: "What, this is in his town, ten. Registerer, they just ambushed the 'corporate limits.'" "Yes, but that extension hasn't been ratified by the voters yet," called back the ringheader of the mob, and the lynching proceeded. These grim jests, and a scab of their kind, are known to the pro-pounders of the Hattiesburg question-maira. A considerable element of the Mississippi press professes to see salvation in the Forrest County idea. A not inconsiderable element is efficient and probably will remain so. The post of aberrit of Forrest County, carrying with it the functions of tax collector, is lucrative. But a Mississippiian has to live by the opinion of his fellows. The State feels that its lynchings are its own affairs and a considerable body of citizenry is not disposed to ask or take advice of a small minority.

Miss Margaret, when I discovered her, had concealed herself in the corner formed by the projection of the cellar cap from the house; on my approach she fled, but was soon overtaken, and after repeated blows with a sword, I killed her by a blow over the head with a fence rail. By this time the six who had gone by Mr. Bryant's rejoined us, and informed me they had done the work of death assigned them. We again divided, part going to Mr. Richard Porter's, and from thence to Mr. Howell Harris' and Mr. T. Doyles'. On my reaching Mr. Porter's, he had escaped with his family. I understood there that the alarm had already spread, and I immediately returned to bring up those sent to Mr. Doyles' and Howell Harris'; the party I left going on to Mr. Francis' having told them I would join them in that neighborhood. I met those sent to Mr. Doyles' and Mr. Howell Harris' returning, having met Mr. Doyles on the road and killed him. Learning from some who joined them that Mr. Harris was from home, I immediately pursued the course taken by the party gone on before; but knowing that they would complete the work of death and pillage at Mr. Francis' before I could ret there, I went to Mr. Pete Edwards' expecting to find them there; but they had been there already. I then went to Mr. John T. Barrow's; they had been there and murdered him. I pursued on their track to Captain Newitt Harris'. I found the greater part mounted and ready to start; the man, now amounting to about forty, shouted and hurrahed as I rode up; some were in the yard loading their guns, others drinking. They said Captain Harris and his family had escaped; the property in the house they destroyed, rebelling him of money and other valuables. I ordered them to mount and march instantly; this was about nine or ten o'clock Monday morning. I proceeded to Mr. Levi Waller, two or three miles distant. I took my station in the rear, and as it was my object to carry terror and devastation wherever we went, I placed aloft or count of the bells mounted and moved to be ridden or in peace, generally represented the house, as at their bells could go; was for five problems, to prevent him choking and stricken to the floor. On this occasion I partly got to the house, after leaving him, Whitehart's, until the bells were bemused, sounded in one ear. I sometimes got in eight in time to see the work of German stagnated, evoked the trapped bells together in effect distressing, and immediately stopped in quail of other animals having slowed. WASHINGTON. Attention is being directed by the press of the country to the latest effort of Thomas A. Ellison, the great electrical wizard, in his researches on the rubber industry of America. One editorial states: "There is reason to believe that Ellison is investigating both the possibility of rubber production in this country, and the reliability of extracting from kindred plants a rubber substitute." We desire to call attention to the fact that Dr. George Carver in his laboratory at Tufts University Institute has already succeeded in making synthetic rubber from the sweet potato. The outstanding achievements of this colored genius with the peanut, from which he has extracted more than one hundred varieties of commercial products, dyes, paints, etc. from the clay banks of Alabama, lead us to believe that he has discovered one way to make powerful inroads on the British rubber monopoly. Unfortunately for the American rubber industry it is difficult to arouse the commercial instinct in Dr. Carver, who in his great zeal to render service and to promote industry in the South, where two-thirds of his racial group live, has entirely overlooked the vast commercial possibilities of his rubber product and the great aid he can render the rubber industry, which is located in the North.-C. P. B. MARS TEMPERATURE FAVORABLE TO LIFE WASHINGTON, July 27.—As far as temperature goes the planet Mars is well equipped to sustain life, according to a balloon issued by the Bureau of Standards. Questions as to the presence of water vapor and oxygen in the planet's atmosphere still are unsettled. During the opposition of 1924, Mars was more favorably situated than usual for observation, and through the courtesy of the Lowell Observatory at Flagstaff, Ariz., a further opportunity was presented for radiometric measurements on this planet. The results obtained at this opposition completely verify and extend the previous observations, showing that the summer hemisphere of Mars is warmer than the winter hemisphere; that under a noonday sun the bright areas are cooler than the adjacent dark areas; that the South Polar region (summer hemisphere) is quite warm, and that the morning side of the planet is cooler than the afternoon side of the planet. Tame Decoy Ducks Refuse To Go Near Water CHICAGO. Ill.-Park commissioners are distressed because their mallard ducks, kept to decay wild fowl to the park lagoons, have become so citified and domesticated that they refused to go near the water. The House of Representatives has equal powers in the enactment of legislation with the Senate, though the Senate has certain special powers not delegated to the House. On the contrary, all bills relating to the ruling of revenue must, under the Constitution, originate in the House, and it has been customary though not mandatory for appropriation bills to originate the same way. Members of the House are the judges of the conduct of their own members and may remove them for clausel of may reject their credentials, it is now held. The body had the right to arrest its members and force them to attend its sessions when the presence of a quorum, usually a majority, is necessary. The House may summon private citizens as witnesses for legislative purposes and may summon books and papers with authority to put the witnesses under oath and the threat of punishment for perjury for misstatements. It may cause witnesses to be punished for failure to answer its questions, according to late decisions. (Daugherty and Sinclair cases.) Presiding over the House is a Speaker chosen by a majority of its members, now Nicholas Longworth of Ohio. He holds office at the pleasure of the House. Salaries are $10,000 a year, with allowance for clerk hire. Entrusted with the consideration of matters relating to the raising of revenue, the Ways and Means Committee of the House is regarded as the most important committee. Under the Constitution all matters relating to the raising of revenue must originate in the House and this gives the committee peculiar powers. It recommends tax and tariff legislation, often of a violently partisan nature, and it has been the scene of many historic battles. It was through this committee that the vast operation of financing the war was conducted. William R. Green of Iowa. Republican, is chairman of the committee at this time, holding a place regarded as next in rank to that of the Speaker and the Majority Leader. Places on the committee are eagerly sought by members of both parties and usually come as the result of conspicuous service. Recommendations as to the form of tax and tariff legislation are usually made to the committee by the President through the Secretary of the Treasury, though the committee often holds public hearings to determine controversial questions. French Put Bloom On Peaches With Brush PARIS.—"Gilding the lily" has been applied to peaches as a commercial proposition. It took the public some time to discover that the beautiful bloom on a great deal of fine looking fruit here was put on with a brush. Complaints were made to the police, but the police unofficially replied that their eyes weren't any better than those of customers who buy the fruit. The fraud squad has been instructed to stop the practice. Josh day warned against an individual who calls Simpson Dr. Wittlington and claims to represent us. This man is an impostor. Our city agent in North Africa is Mr. JAACK BARNARD of 179 COMMISSIONER STREET, JOHANNESBURG. (From "The Black Man," published in 1882 and dedicated "to the defenders and friends of Negro freedom and equality wherever found") "Sam and Will went to the door and knocked. Mr. Francis asked who was there; Sam replied it was he, and he had a letter for him. On this he got up and came to the door; they immediately seized him and dragged him out a little from the door, he was dispatched by repeated blows on the head. There was no other white person in the family. We started from there to Mrs. Reese's, maintaining the most perfect silence on our march, where, finding the door unlocked, we entered and murdered Mrs. Reese in her bed while sleeping; her son awoke, but only to sleep the sleep of death. He had only time to say, "Who is that?" and he was no more. From Mrs. Reese's we went to Mrs. Turner's, a mile distant, which we reached about sunrise, on Monday morning. Henry, Austin and Sam went to the still, where, finding Mr. Peebles, Austin shot him; the rest of us went to the house. As we approached, the family discovered us and shut the door. Vain hope Will, with one stroke of his axe, opened it, and we entered, and found Mrs. Turner and Mrs. Newsome in the middle of a room, almost frightened to death. Will immediately killed Mrs. Turner with one blow of his axe. I took Mrs. Newsome by the hand, and with the sword I had when apprehended. I struck her several blows over the head, but was not able to kill her, as the sword was dull. Will, turning around and discovering it, dispatched her also. A general destruction of property, and search for money and ammunition always succeeded the murders. "By this time, my company amounted to fifteen, nine men mounted, who started for Mrs. Whitehead's (the other six were to go through a byway to Mr. Bryant's, and rejoin us at Mrs. Whitehead's). As we approached the house we discovered Mr. Richard Whitehead standing in the cotton patch, near the lane fence; we called him over into the lane! And Will, the executioner, was near at hand, with his fatal axe, to send him to an untimely grave. As we pushed, on through the house, I discovered some one running round the garden, and thinking it was some of the white family, I pursued, but finding it was a servant girl belonging to the house, I returned to commence the work of death; but they whom I left had not been life, all the family were already murdered but Mrs. Whitehead and her daughter Margaret. As I came round to the door I saw Will pulling Mrs. Whitehead out of the house, and at the step he nearly severed her head from her body with his broadaxe, Mrs Margaret, when I discovered her, had concealed herself in the corner formed by the projection of the cellar cap from the house; on my approach she fled, but was soon overtaken, and after repeated blows with a sword, I killed her by a blow over the head with a fence rail. Reinforcements came to the whites, and the blacks were overpowered and defeated by the superior numbers of their enemy. In this battle many were slain on both sides. Will, the bloodthirsty and revengeful slave, fell with broadsake uplifted, after having laid three of the whites dead at his feet with his own strong arm and his terrible weapon. His last words were, "Bury my axe with me." For he religiously believed that in the next world the blacks would have a contest with the whites, and that he would need his arm. Nat Turner, after blighted in the life with his story surrounded with social ethics in the good morality, and was not adjourned for nearly two months. When brought to trial he pleaded "not guilty," calling, as he said, that it was always right for one to strike for his own liberty. After going through a more form of trial, he was convicted and exposed at Jerusalem, the county nort "for Southampton" County, Virginia. Not a limb trembled or a muscle was observed to move. Thus died Nat Turner, at the early age of thirty-one years, a martyr to the freedom of his race, and a victim to his own fanaticism. He meditated upon the wrongs of his oppressed and injured people till the idea of their deliverance excluded all other Ideas from his mind, and he devolved his life to its realization. Everything appeared to him a vision, and all favorable omens were signs from God. That he was sincered in all that he professed there is not the alightest doubt. After being defeated he might have escaped to the free states, but the hopes of raising a new bend kept him from doing so. He impressed his image upon the minds of those who once behold him. His looks, his germons, his acts, and his heroism live in the hearts of his race on every cotton, sugar and rice plantation in the South. The present generation of slaves have a superstitious veneration for his name, and believe that in another insurrection Nat Turner will appear and take command. He foretold that at his death the sun would refuse to shine, and that there would be signs of disapprobation given from heaven. And it is true that the sun was darkened, a storm gathered, and more bolstered weather had never appeared in Southampton County than on the day of Nat's execution. The sheriff, warned by the prisoner, refused to cut the cord that held the trap. No black man would touch the rope. A poor old white man, long hissed by drink, was brought forty miles to the executioner. And even the planters, with all their prejudice and hatred, believed him honest and sincere, for Mr. Gray, who had known Nat from boyhood, and to whom he made his confession, says of him: "It has been said that he was ignorant and cowardly, and that his object was to murder and rob, for the purpose of obtaining money to make his escape. It is notorious that he was never known to have a dollar in his life, to swear an oath, or drink a drop of spirits. As to his ignorance, he certainly never had the advantages of education, but he can read and write, and for natural intelligence and quickness of apprehension, is surpassed by few men I have seen. As to his being a coward, his reason, as given, for not resisting Mr. Phipps shows the decision of his character. When he saw Mr. Phipps present his gun he said he knew it was impossible for him to escape, as the woods were full of men; he therefore thought it was better for him to surrender and trust to fortune for his escape. He is a complete fanatic, or plays his part most admirably. On other subjects he possesses an uncommon share of intelligence, with a mind capable of attaining anything, but warped and perverted by the influence of early impressions. He is below the ordinary stature, though strong and active; having the true Negro face, every feature of which is strongly marked. I shall not attempt to describe the effect of his narrative, as told and commented on by himself, in the condemned hole of the prison: the calm, deliberate composure with which he spoke of his late deeds and intentions; the expressions of his friend-like face, when excited by enthusiasm—still bearing the stains of the blood of helpless innocence about him, clothed with rags and covered with chains, yet daring to raise his maneuled hands to heaven, with a spirit soaring above the attributes of Curious in my youth, Will might he kill the blood curse in the vein, when he rehabilitated that in every southern he would there may be a Not Turner, in whose soul God has lighted a touch of liberty, that must be outgrown by the hand of man. The steward should understand that he lives upon a volcano, which may burst forth at any moment, and give freedom to his victim. 'Great God, hasten on the glad jubilee. When my brother in bonds shall arise and be free. And our blotted escutcheoms be washed from its stains. Now the scorn of the world—four mill- lions in chalis! O, then shall Columbia's proud flag be unfurled. The glory of freedom, and pride of the world. While earth's strolling millions point hither in glee. To the land of the brave and the home of the free. Fifty-five whites and seventy-three blacks lost their lives in the Southampton rebellion. On the fatal night when Nat and his companions were dealing death to all they found, Captain Harris, a wealthy planter, had his life saved by the devotion and timely warning of his slave Jim, said to have been half brother to his master. After the revolt had been put down, and parties of whites were out hunting the suspected blacks, Captain Harris, with his faithful slave, went into the woods in search of the Negroes. In saving his master's life, Jim felt that he had done his duty, and could not consent to become a betrayer of his race, and, on reaching the woods, he handed his pistol to his master, and said, "I cannot help you hunt down these men; they, like myself, want to be free. Sir, I am tired of the life of a slave; please give me my freedom, or shoot me on the spot." Captain Harris took the weapon and pointed it at the slave. Jim, putting his right hand upon his heart, said, "This is the spot; aim here." The captain fired, and the slave fell dead at his feet. From this insurrection, and other manifestations of insubordination by the slave population, the Southern people, if they are wise, should learn a grave lesson; for the experience of the past might give them some clew to the future. Thirty years' free discussion has materially changed public opinion in the non-slaveholding States, and a Negro insurrection, in the present excited state of the nation, would not receive the condemnation that it did in 1831. The right of man to the enjoyment of freedom is a settled point; and where he is deprived of this, without any criminal act of his own, it is his duty to regain his liberty at every cost. If the oppressor is struck down in the contest, his fall will be a just one. If the oppressor is struck down in the contest, his fall will be a just one, and all the world will applaud the act. This is a new era, and we are in the midst of the most important crisis that our country has yet witnessed. And in the crisis the Negro is an important item. Every eye is now turned towards the south, looking for another Nat Turner. UNIVERSAL, HAS A NEW WORLD Aims to Draw Together Major Athletic Associations in Parts of the World, Combined from New York To the Editor of The Negro World: The Universal Athletic Club will specialize in cricket, baseball and tennis, etc. It is organized to afford each healthy recreation and enjoyment to its members and the community, especially among Negro people, as other racial groups have. We say Universal because the inspiration came out of Garveyism. And here in New York City, one of the largest and richest cities in the world, people from all parts of the globe are gathered. Hence, we selected cricket, knowing that those people who are living in tropical climates are partial to that game. We selected baseball because it is the national game in the United States. Tennis for the part our women must play. We are sure that whenever the club desires to put over an affair to entertain the public, these three units will work together to bring about success. The club is composed of Negro men and women of good character who are interested in sports between the age of 16 and 60 years. This club aims to organise in all branches of the U. N. I. A. through the United States and the world where there are Negro people domiciled. The officers of the club are: W. E. L. Garvey, president; D. A. Bennett, vice-president; C. Carter, financial secretary; F. Stephenson, recording secretary; Adrian A. Garvey, treasurer; R. L. Reed, captain; F. Stephenson, vice-captain. Yours very truly, W. E. L. GARVEY. New York, July 29.

This address was most inspiring. She captivated her hearers, especially the Cubans, and after thanking them for their presence sat amidst great applause. An eloquent address was also given by Senor Marceline Mora, a lawyer. At this stage Lady Davis was introduced, when the audience arose and sang the first verse of the Ethiopian Anthem. She spoke for one hour and five minutes and was greatly applauded by faces that seemed sorrowful because she ended her address. Her address was translated into Spanish by Miss R. Thomas, private secretary to Lady Davis. The program that was prepared was well rendered and the audience listened attentively. Senior L. Garcia gave an inspiring address. The choir, directed by Mr. Albert Higgins, played a great part in entertaining our noble visitors.

The hall was comfortably filled. Meeting was opened in the usual manner. After the religious formalities by the chaplain, Mr. L. Smith, Mr. A. E. Monroe, president, delivered the opening address. The program then continued with addresses by Measra, Mitchel and Sylvestre, who handled their subject with force and logic. The band, under the direction of Mr. G. Angus, rendered some beautiful selections which merited the applause they received. The principal address was by Mr. L. P. Rattray, secretary, subject, "Conditions and how they affect the Negro." The speaker did not fail to convince the Negroes who live in their "all right impulse" of the necessity of extricating themselves from such diabolical thoughts and get in line with the U. N. I. A., which is the only solution for such a problem. After swearing in two members, the meeting was closed in the usual way. On Monday night Mrs. Alice Sharp of Liberia, Africa, lectured extensively on that beautiful republic and its resources. The meeting was well attended. The rapt attention displayed throughout her discourse showed conclusively that all things Afric are highly appreciated by our people. On Sunday night, June 26, Liberty Hall was packed to the doors. With enthusiasm unabated the folks turned out en masse for more inspiration. It shows how much the movement has taken a grip on the minds of the Negro peoples. Even the hitherto indifferent are getting aroused. Meeting opened as usual with religious formalities by the chaplain Mr. L. Smith.

Smith, who concluded the service with prayer and benediction. The Ethiopian National Anthem terminated the meeting.

Our mass meeting Sunday evening, July 21, was convened promptly at 8:30 p.m. and was conspicuous for the large number of heretofore, incorrigible who were present. People who have long held themselves some what aloof from our humble surroundings seemed to have awakened at last and have signified a willingness to labor for the cause of African redemption and the release of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. It is a fine commentary on the efforts of this division when it is able to reach those of our race who have been posing as leaders for so long and make them see the light. We stand at "Armageddon" and the battle is turning in our favor. The program was admirably carried out. We had several short and fine speeches. The principal speaker of the evening was Hon. Dewey Richardson who enlightened his hearers on the part that Negroes played in the history of the world. Mr. Richardson pointed out that, "after all is said and done, the only hope of salvation for our people, lies in the consummation of the plans advocated by the Hon. Marcus Garvey and for which the U. N. I. A. is diligently fighting." A nice collection was taken up for our school fund. After a few remarks by Pans. J. I. Troussel, the meeting was brought to a close by the singing of the national anthem. JOSEH H. CLAY, Reporter. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 12, 1927 TELA. SPAN.

Matthiolson general secretary, acting chaplain of the evening. The religious ceremony having gone through, the preamble of the constitution was read by the president. This was followed by the opening remarks of the president who outlined the purpose of the formation of the Juvenile Division, the officers of which would be installed during the course of the meeting. He gave a review of the conditions surrounding the Negroes in all parts of the world and brought his audience to the conclusion that a Juvenile Division is the nursery of all divisions from which, as time goes by, material can be secured to replace those fallen out of the rank and file of our great organization. The program of the evening was as follows: Recitation, "Hand of Time," by Master E. Barker; recitation, "A Lonely Race," by Master Linton Reefer, song.

The audience was then treated to a recitation by a visitor, an amateur elocutionist, in the person of Mr. C. Young of British Honduras. Quite an enjoyable time was spent. Although weather conditions were against us at the hour, the faithful few and their friends turned out in an appreciative number to take part in the evening's celebration, and although our leader languishes in a prison cell, we are not the least discouraged in our program of African fundamentalism, for we feel that just beyond the horizon there is joy awaiting us. We look forward to, and pray for, the day of release of our leader and we pray daily for the restoration of his health. Our future desire is that the young of the race be brought into frequent contact with the program of our organization and be so prepared that they shall be ready at a moment's notice to fill the vacancies occurring in our line of leadership. The singing of the Ethiopian National Anthem brought the evening's celebration to a close. HUGH A. MATTHISON. Reporter.

RAPE OF AFRICA (Continued from page 2) bers are enslaved for the building of military roads under a corve system. They have been despoiled of their lands and liberties, and imprisonment and torture is the lot of all who dare to speak for their freedom. In the Caribbean colonies the Negro peoples are subjected under varying forms of imperialist rule. Limited franchise and oppressive plantation systems reduce these masses to a permanent condition of serfdom and penury. In Latin America Negroes suffer no special suppression. The cordial relations resulting from the social and political equality of the races in these countries prove that there is no inherent antagonism between them. For the republics of Haiti, Cuba, Santo Domingo and for the peoples of Porto Rico and the Virgin Islands we must demand complete political and economic independence and the immediate withdrawal of all Imperialist troops. For the other Caribbean colonies we must likewise demand and obtain self-government. The Confederation of the British West Indies should be achieved and the union of all these peoples accomplished. To Secure Emancipation For the emancipation of the Negro peoples of the world we must wage a resolute and unyielding struggle to achieve: (1) Complete freedom of the peoples of Africa and of African origin. (2) Complete equality between the Negro race and all other races. (3) Control of the land and governments of Africa by the Africans.

The opening ode was sung by the audience. The chapain, Rev. A. G. Ellenburg, conducted the devotional service and made the opening address, followed by a song by the choir. Program was as follows: Excellent address delivered by the president, Hon. S. V. Robertson; quartette selection by the African Logions; address by Mrs. Sadie Van Veen. The principal speaker of the evening was the Rev. D. O. Walker. He gave some very true information concerning the progress of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the high ideals of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. He said that if our chief dies in Atlanta, the spirit of him shall go on until Africa is redeemed. He bade the members carry on and on and never give up the fight. In his closing remarks he sang a verse of "John Brown's Body Lies Mouldering in the Grave." The meeting then came to a close with the singing of the national anthem, "Ethiopia." Sunday, July 21, being the first day of the local convention of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the Cleveland Division staged a monster parade, headed by the president, Hon. S. V. Robertson, and Capt. W. A. Robertson of the Legions. The parade started at 1 o'clock in the afternoon and ended at Liberty Hall at 3:30 p. m. There a gigantic mass meeting was held. The auditorium was filled to its capacity, and not even standing room was left. After the opening ode was sung a telegram was read by the secretary, Mrs. Louise Edwards, and it was duly moved and seconded, the motion placed to the house and unanimously carried that the telegram be sent to the Hon. Marcus Garvey. Program was as follows: Front page of The Negro World read by Mrs Louise Edwards; President General's hymn sung by the audience; the Universal Band and Choir rendered some very inspiring selections; the president, Hon. S. V. Robertson, delivered a very enthusiastic address, subject, "I Am On the Wall and Cannot Come Down." He held his audience spell-bound for one-half hour, and closed out amid loud applause. After an appeal for new members, the meeting closed with the singing of the anthem, "Ethiopia." LOUISE EDWARDS. Reporter.

GOOD LUCK THE NINRO WORLD, SATURDAY; AUGUST 13, 2017 Spanish Section Resolución del congresso antimperialista de Brussels sobre la raza mexra (De El Libertador, Méjico.) Durante cerea de quinientos años los pueblos negros del mundo han sido victimas cruelmente oprimidas. Las instituciones de venta de esclavos, como consecuencia de la revolución comercial y de la expansion de Europa, fue el comienzo de un régimen de terror y robos que es uno de los mas horribles de la historia de la humanidad. Como resultado de este comercio, el Africa perdió mas de cien millones de habitantes. De cada cinco hombres morían cuatro en el negocio sangriento de la caza y transporte, siendo sometidos los supervivientes a la escavitud en el Nuevo Mundo. Su extenso territorio y su riqueza imaginable estimulan la redención del contintente africano. Detengamos la marcha de los que persiguen explotar la tierra de nuestros antepasados. Los millones en africa nos llaman para que les asistamos en la preservación de su hogar. No desoigamos sus ruegos. Vemos con orgullo el gran donativo de Dios al hombre negro; ¡Africa! Con sus incontables acres de suelo virgen. ¡Africa! Con su vastisima e inconcebible riqueza. Ese maravilloso regalo que nos concediera el Altísimo, es lo codicia del hombre blanco y la inspiración del hombre negro. La inmensa riqueza procedente de este comercio indigno, ha sido la base de la propiedad y del desarrollo de los commciantes europeos y de los estadounidenses; pero el desarrollo de los pueblos de Africa fue paralizado entonces bruscamente y su civilización, que en varios lugares alcanzaba un alto estado de progreso, fue casi completamente destruida. Estas naciones fueron declaradas paganas y salvajes, una raza inferior destinada por el dios de los cristianos a ser esclava de los superiores europeos, sin ningun derecho que debiera ser respetado por el hombre blanco. Se eleve un prejuicio hostil y duró contra la raza negra, prejuicio que ha dominado los sentimientos de la mayor parte de los europeos, causando prescripciones numerosas, degradantes y permicos. Se oye hablar mucho de Africa en estos días y siempre se ha hablado de esta gran tierra virgen; pero aunque parezca paradógico, su elemento nativo el cual se desplaza de su amado suelo, no siempre ha tenido la gran oportunidad de oir tantas cosas grandes y excelsas acerca de su Africa. Mas ahora esta prestando toda su atención a lo que se dice, relata y predice sobre su suelo aborigen; y oido en tierra, se detiene a observar y hacer un examen detenido de lo que las espesuras y planicies africanas, constituyen para él y para sus hermanos de raza en el futuro. El se percata y oye los gritos de sus hermanos, sus lamentos y luchas y la tiránica opresión a que estan sujetos, bajo el látigo del nuevo amo. Oye con congojas abiertas los planes y artimañas de los avaros y ve con dolor lo que la astucia del hombre blanco va llevando a cabo, internando cada dia mas afondo hacia las selvas, estrechando el ccrco de convivencia de sus hijos y apretando cada dia mas, restringiendo las libertades y embaucando deshonestamente la conciencia de los probres e indefensos africanos, apoderándose sin escrúpulos del país mas rico que puebla la faz del planeta. La coelavitud capitalista La absolución de la forma de esclavitud mas inferior, no libro a los pueblos negros mas que de aquel infortunio de ser considerados legalmente como una propiedad personal; el sometimiento, la exploitation y extermino de aquellos dura todavía. La marcha del sometimiento fue grandemente acelerado por el loco encarnizamiento de las potencias europeas en busca de territorios africanos entre los años de 1880 y 1890. Los estados africanos fueron sometidos por el fraude y por la fuerza, y tierra y posiciones casi todas expropiadas por la fuerza y distribuidas entre personas y corporations europeas, y sus pueblos obligados por los más brutales e inhumanos sistemas a producir innumeras riquezas para sus opresores. Las mas graves enfermedades cayeron sobre el pueblo y sus ganados. La espantosa labor de devastation y de muerte puede comprobarse en el hecho de que a despecho de la gran virilidad y fecundidad de los pueblos africanos, el Africa es actualmente el menos poblado de todos los continentes. Si, oimos hablar mucho acerca de Africa. Pero cuántos negros realizan comprender cual es el tamaño y valor de estos vastos dominios, que de una manera lenta y segura va desapareciendo de nuestras manos, para caer bajo el tutelaje de los poderosos? Los negros han estado durmiendo a medida que los años han pasado en carrera vertiginosa y opiados con el dorce farniente, enervamiento que trac consigo la indocilidad que preste el embiente de la selva, y no han podido despertar aun a la realidad de los hechos, creándose a sí mismos una situación dificilisima en su misma casa, donde de dueños y señores de su libre albedrio, encuátranse altualmente relegados a la miserable condición de parias y lacayos del invasor. Tales fueron las benediciones del cristianismo y de la civilización llevadas a los africanos. Asi tenemos que actualmente en un continente de once y medio millones de millas cuadradas (unos catorce millones de kilómetros cuadradas) no hay mas que dos estados muy pequeños: Abisina y Liberia, que pueden ser considerados como independientes. El primero se encuentra actualmente amenazado por el pacto angolitaliano y el segundo por las aduanas y misiones de policía que se encuentran en manos de oficiales estadounidenses, por una gran concesión torgada a una corporación importante de Wall Street. No puede ya por mucho tiempo considerarse como libre anuel pueblo. Pero a tiempo oportuno Dios nos envió a Marcus Garvey, el cual nos hará despertar, sacándonos de ese estado anastésico que nos ha embargado por variós siglos. El área de Africa es igual a la suma de los territories de los Estados Unidos, Europa, India y China; por lo tanto este es un hecho mas que elocuente para que el negro se detenga a pensar y hacer su mejor análisis. Dios le dió al negro esta tierra y la población con incontables millones de su clase para que la defendieran y ajustasen de una manera habil el embiente que se les proporcionara. Mas el hombre blanco, pasando por encima de este designio del Divino Arquitecto, cree que jamás fue la intención de Dios darle posesión al hombre de color de tan inmenso territorio, ni mucho menos permitirle el gozo del mismo. La expropiación de las tierras y el exterminio del pueblo que tuvieron lugar en Kenya y en el Sudan, fueron una recompensa digna del imperialismo, a los africanos que se sacrificaron en la guerra mundial, que había sido acoladada como una guerra destinada a dar la democracia al mundo y a restablecer el derecho de las naciones debiles. Lo propio sucede con los pueblos de la Union del Africa del Sur, que ha tolerado recientemente el "Color Bar Bill" que prohibe a los indigenas irabajar en las fabricas y ser empleados en los servicios civiles, aumentando así las niserias de aquellos pueblos oprimidos por leyes e impuestos intolerables. En todas partes de Africa, exceptuada una pequeña superficie de la costa occidental, el pueblo esta rigurosamente sometido al yugo del imperialismo extranjero. La produccion de aquel distrito es ocho veces mas intensa que en los distritos vecinos poseidos por los europeos, lo que prueba irrefutamente la defectuosidad del sistema moderno de enclavimiento. Haced una pauta, amigo mios, y considerad detenidamente esta cuestión. El hombre blanco ha tomado aproxima-damente una porción de tierra, que es la tercera parte de Africa y sin tener los atributos de riqueza de este país, ha hecho del mismo el sitio mas rico del mundo económica e industrialmente hablando. Europa con sus muchas naciones dirije los asuntos del universo y llegando escasamente a una tercera parte de esa Africa, es el asiento desde donde el maquiavelismo del astuto adversario nuestro rige los destinos de la humanidad. La China con sus incontable millones une sus manos con la India, para poder parangonearse con la otra tercera parte del territorio africano; y todas estas naciones y razas que tienen altos problemas que resolver porque así lo demandan sus derechos de vida, estan haciendo sentir su influencia racial, para equilibrio de la balanza igualitaria do se pesan las actuaciones de la humanidad a la hora presente. En los Estados Unidos, los doce millones de migrados cuyos derechos de igualdad estan garantizados por la Constitución, so ven rechazados de todas participación en la vida política y social de la marion. Esta espresión es particulamente muy intensa en los estados del sur, donde sumen existe el apirito de tiranía. Martirían, sommelismo, injusticia. dedues y esclavitud, linchamientos que degradan y aniquilan a aquellos pueblos. Este sistema de opresión quiere convertir a esta raza en una casta, inferior y servil, explotada por todas las demas clases de la sociedad. Haiti, eregida en republica por el heroismo de Toussaint L'Overture y sus partidarios, es ahora sometida y aniquilada por aquella misma potencia que porcelan "la guerra por la democracia." Mas de tres mil haitianos han sido asesinados por los marinos de los Estados Unidos; un gran número ha sido movilizado para la construcción de rutas militares; se les ha despojado de sus tierras y de sus libertades; fueron apresionados y torturados como todos los que se atrevieron a escribir o hablar para reclamar la libertad nacional. En las colonias del Caribe, los pueblos negros han sido sometidos a varias formas del imperialismo; son reducidos de modo permanente al servilismo y a la misería. En la America Latina, excepto Cuba, los negros no sufren el yugo de ninguna opresión especial. (En Panama la intervención yanqui ha trasplantado las costumbres barbaras de los Estados Unidos contra los negros, que es el mismo origen de las desigualdades sociales de Cuba.) La igualdad social y política, así como las relaciones cordiales entre las diferentes razas que viven en otros países, prueban que no existe ningun antagonisme natural entre ellas. Pedimos la plena y absoluta independencia política para las republicas de Haiti. Cuba, Santo Domingo y los pueblos de Puerto Rico y las Islas Virgenes. Pedimos la retirada innediada de las tropas imperialistas enviadas a aquellos paises. Deseamos igualmente, obtener para las cofonias del Caribe la autonomia guernamental. La Confederación de las Indias Occidentales debe realizarse y la unión de esos pueblos debe cumplirse. Para obtener la emancipación de los pueblos negros del mundo, necesaria una lucha energica y constante. REIVINDICACIONES: 1. Libertad completa de los pueblos africanos y de origen africano. 2.

Predice una gran guerra por superioridad racial En un interview en Paris con un representante del periodico Le Matin. Bernelor Moens, antropólogo holandes, presagia una gran guerra entre las razas, a menos que el hombre blanco no remunecía al concepto de la superioridad de su raza. Dice, que durante a permanencia de catorce años en los Estados Unidos y mediated un detenido estudio, formuló sus convicciones sobre la gravedad de la situación. En la ciudad de Nueva York cambio de residencia treinta veces, viviendo entre negros, armenios, talianos, polacos, judios e indus. Se adaptó a sus costumbres y estudio sus instituciones; resultando de ello su consejo a aquellos que aun alientan la absurda ilusión de la superioridad de la raza Blanca. La superioridad blanca actual, dice Moens, es identica a la de tres mil años ha; pero hace cinco mil años cuando existía una remarcable superioridad mongolica, que ocurrira en el sitio donde de desplaza actualmente la gran Avenida de la Faz? Tal vez un hombre cubierto de pelo de escondia detrás de un arbol, para atacar a un semejante en su maceta de piedra. Moens ha llegado a la conclusión de que tanto el hombre negro como el hombre amarillo, después de un letargo de muchos años, han demostrado aun su fortaleza. Cree que su resurgimiento se acerca, segun lo indican milares de sintomas; que siendo superiores al blanco en número, zaria facil imaginar los resultados, y que la humanidad en general se halla en el arboreal de una nueva epoca. Magazine Section (From the New York World) With all due respect to those savvants of the University of Chicago who have just finished a new translation of the Old Testament, we doubt whether their labors represent much of a service to religion. From any point of view the King James version seems to be better than theirs. For example, take the opening chapter of Genesis. According to the despatches, the new version runs as follows: When God began to create the heavens and the earth, the earth being a desolate mass, with darkness covering the abyss and the spirit of God hovering over the waters, then God said: "Let there be light;" and God saw that the light was good. Compare this with the corresponding part of the King James version: 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was upon the face of the waters. 3 And God saw, Lot there be light; and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. Examining these two, one is struck at once by the fact that the second is simple, vigorous and clear, while the first is involved, fabby and obscure. And one does not look far for the reason. The second proceeds by a series of plain declarative statements: there is no possibility that the reader can become confused. But in the first, three of the main assertions are put in the form of weak participial phrases, viz.: "the earth being a denoate mass," "with darkness covering the abyss" and "the spirit of God hovering over the waters." This, it should be noted, is a common fault of poor translations; it occurs in Latin ponies, as every schoolboy will recall in connection with the ablative absolute. Again, the new version has a glaring omission from the point of view of effective narration. In the King James version as soon as God said, "Let there be light," we find out that there was light. But not in the new version God said, "Let there be light," and then "God saw that the light was good;" but as to what happened in between we have to use our own imaginations. This translator makes the same error as the green sports reporter who forgot to tell the score of the game. Considered merely as a job of writing, then, the new version is palpably inferior to the old. Can it, in spite of this, claim greater general effectiveness? Try reading the two aloud and see. The old rolls off your tongue with impressive sonority. The new sounds flat, stale and unintering. Americans Drink More Milk Than Britons Although Britain's daily consumption of milk is rapidly on the increase "dry" statisticians are oppressed. For every gallon of fresh milk consumed in America only a pint in England is drunk. According to a statement made by the Minister for Agriculture in the House of Commons, the average daily consumption of fresh milk in Great Britain is approximately 2,500,000 gallons. But the drys, even with a campaign to encourage milk drinking under way throughout the country, scan with dissatisfaction the comparative amounts of beer and milk which trickle down English throats in the course of a twelvemonth. The beer consumed reaches the colossal total of a billion dollars, whereas milk accounts for only $380,000,000. For every pound ($5) expended on milk the sum of $12.50 goes for beer. According to the United Kingdom Alliance, the strongest temperaure reform organization in the country, 9,000,000 of the estimated 10,000,000 families in Britain do the drinking of alcoholic beverages—New York Sun. --GIVE YOUR-- BUSINESS ACTION AND MORE ACTION ADVERTISE IN THE NEGRO WORLD America's Leading Negro Paper Goes to Every State in the Union Wonderful for Local and Mail Order Business Nothing Beats a Trial— You Have Tried Others, Why Not Us?

Vol. I, $1.75. Vol. II (with 25 illustrations), $3.00 Combined offer, $4.50 If you want a butterfly wife, choose a gay creature who wants to be on the go endlessly, who wants clothes and who wants ceaseless admiration. If you want a real helpmate, pick a girl who is as ambitious as you are yourself—one who is willing to go without until you are in a position to give her better. If you want a mental companion, then choose a girl with the kind of brain you admire. But don't expect marriage is going to work the miracle of converting a butterfly into a real helpmate or a brain companion. There is something childishly optimistic in the average man's approach to the altar. A rising young man in his early thirties married a braithless little piece of fluff. Everywhere she went she sat and preened and furiously antagonized the wives of the other business men among whom they were thrown socially. In desperation, the young husband turned on his wife one day and told her to get busy and read so that she wouldn't appear such a dumbbell when they were out. She natively replied that he had changed terribly, because in the engagement days he used to tell her it was a relief to be with a girl who didn't bore him with what she knew. Another man marries a girl with the level headed reasoning that she is economical and thrifty and loyal, and all that. Later on when success strikes him, he expects his wife suddenly to blossom forth as spendthrift enough to make a showing of his success to his friends. Or another man marries a girl whose character has revealed a half dozen imperfections. He goes hilly to the altar, thinking it is but a matter of time when she will be made over into the pattern he has in mind for her. Marriage does not alter the fundamental things of a person's character. So when choosing a mate, one should think of him and her a few years ahead. Waiters Some people grow old and die before they ever pull in their anchors. They are waiting and hoping for some mysterious something to make their way easy and the waters smooth. As a matter of fact, they are either too lazy or too scared to do anything of themselves, hence they wait for something extraordinary to happen. It never does. Waiting and hoping for other people to do for us what we ought to do ourselves is an anchor keeping us tight and fast in stagnant waters while out beyond is the clear blue deep waters ready to be conquered and mastered. The only way to reach them is to pull in your anchor and brave the dashing waters. Nothing is going to happen. You have got to make things come to pass. Truly we have been anchored too long. While we are waiting and hoping braver and more courageous souls are performing what appear to be miracles. Pull in your anchors. Take a chance. And above everything else stop waiting and hoping for something to make it easy for you. It is a false hope. It availble you nothing.—Seattle Enterprise. Negro's Contribution As an Agriculturalist To American Life From the New York World "The Negro has shown that he can do respectable work, but he has cur- rently not shown that he can do genu- ly distinguished work." H. L. Mencken in the Sunday World. In the fine arts and literature perhaps not, but give him a thousand years and then watch out. In the line of that fundamental art upon which Ameri- can prosperity depends, agriculture, permit me to say that the uncultured Negro has of his own volition done distinguished work. He has out-distanced the white man in a field which the latter claims as peculiarly his own—cotton production. The average acre yield in the old cotton states is, I believe, about 100 pounds to the acre. There is, I think, no record of any white farmer exceeding three bales (1,500 pounds) on a demonstration patch. But there is a record (Department of Agriculture Farmer's Bulletin, 519), duly attested, of a Negro's producing by his own uninitiated art and initiative seven bales of cotton on two acres of land, which I hold to be a more distinguished work than the execution of a cubist canvas or the writing of a jazz score. This man, an ordinary plantation Negro, studied the problem of his land and crop. He plowed deep, breaking up the hardpan to reinforce the wormout top soil. He throw on the manure and plowed it in, working the soil with harrow and cultivator. He selected the seed with care, cultivated early and late, and fought off the boll-wheevil. He demonstrated to the white cotton farmers what it is possible to do with southern soil with industry and skill. Did they profit by his example? Did they give him a degree, a doctor of agriculture and make him a professor in the State College of Agriculture? Certainly not. If they had followed his example, even so far as to raise not three and a half bales to the acre, but one bale, they might have raised the cotton crop of 1928 on 18,400,000 acres of land instead of 50,000,000 acres of land instead of 50,000,000 acres and could have devoted the balance of 31,600,000 acres to corn, which, with the same good cultivation, would have given them 600,000,000 bushels of grain for their livestock. JOHN T. BRAMHALL. Boulder, Col., July 21. Corpse Smuggling in Europe Problem at Frontier Corpse ambling at the frontiers of Iraq keeps European health officials busy enforcing quarantine rules, according to reports received by the editors of the London medical journal, "Lancet." The desire of all devout Mohammedans to make pilgrimages to the cities visited by the Prophet, as well as the blessings that accrue to the faithful when they make one of the holy cities their final resting place makes plenty of work for the quarantine officers. New laws have been put into effect calling for the examination of all local corpuses as well as those in transit from other countries. Now no corps can be buried in one of the holy places without a pars. Examinations and health permits are also issued to the thousands of pilgrims that throng into Arabia from the east, thus enabling health officers to check up on one of the most fruitful sources of the spread of epidemics in the Orient.

In these “palaces” tho monarchs lived upon those among whom they ‘were sojourncra and of course in the very beat style the place afforded, says the Detroit News. ‘This royal fashion did not go out Ul a late period and was not extinct tm Spain during tho last century. Southey, in his “Letters from Spain and Portugal.” gives an idea of how a king of Spain traveled at that period. The monarch. he says, usually jour- neyed forth with a train of 7.000 at- tendants, with whom he moved #0 rapidly ag to kill three guarés tn front of his carriage at one time—scizing on everything. paying for nothing, preceded by fear und followed by S& LUCK! zy LAN around yoo thers te ator tant jes puwre diet Saye pevremmeesa et Pegi ratin Aout Ee fae eas Geen Sirineate Neer oens wens piprebacion ota ta eerie Ti reciee ft erin ithe] fessesy serve eae ies a FREE vie he bsson aia ering scares iusinnceeenenee ‘ALON AOGES & CO., 1924S, hors he.

In July, 1919, I saved @ number of white men—British, Scot, Irish, German and American—tiom probably wholesale massacre at the hands of an infuriated continent of returned sctalers tn & | aritien coiony, receiving the commendation of the Secretary of Btate for the ' Colonies in a special dispatch to the Governor of the Colony for my restrain- ing influence. I volunteered for vervice in 1916 and served four years in Egypt and Mesopotamia, earning two medals and an lionorable discharge. Hatred finds no haven in my youthful life, fam for peace and good will between men and races, I don't bellove in bypocriay, in deceit between races. Herein Hes the incentive to race hatred which the U. N. L A. to which I am proud to belong. is endeavoring to wipe out. No one need waste his time preaching to Negroca to hate white folks. Only white folke can make Negroes hate them. Let the white man put away his decelt and tell the Negro frankly and cour- ageously where he stands in the life of the nation, in the equation of races, Jand there will be no need to fear the future. T understand well Mr. Schuyler’s position and sympathize with him, but when men of bis type go #0 far as to Incite hatred against Negroes who aro earnvstly eccking the truth about black land white relationship, they court the disrespect of thelr fellowmen. , , | Smaller Dollar Bills | PET CTS | Due Coming Year a 7 ™ ‘New one-doltar bills of the smalle: alze recently authorized by the Treas: ‘ury Department will be in circula. ‘tion by July 1, next, ft has been of. ficlally announced.

Changes in the othw <encmtnations will be made as rapidly as possible, and it is hoped to accomplish the transition within a year. It ts esti- mated that the new size of one-dollar bills will be in universal circulation in less than two years and now dollar bills constitute 60 per cent of the currency of the country by volume. The one-dollar Dills, because of gen- eral use, wear out frequently, and re- jucing the size one-third will result in real economy in printing. | Recommended bre Se Lovie physician. ! e HAS A : S] SURPRISE i FOR YOU Have Healthy Glands As When Young Werite for Special 10-Day Trial Offer _ Behd’no moncy=—uat your Bame and “THE MOORE COMPANY Dept. 652, 220 S.
