The Negro World

Ridicule As A Weapon The most effective weapon used by the white man to prevent Negro progress is RIDICULE. Since slavery has been abolished and legal force can no longer be employed to keep the black man in subjection, the white man has literally laughed the Negro into a continued state of inferiority. Ridicule! More cruel than the lash, seafing the souls of the sensitive and discouraging the weak-minded. Nothing that the Negro loves and revere has been too sacred to be laughed at. The higher the ideals of the Negro, the greater his ambition, the funnier he appears to the average white man. The fact that a black man declared himself the president of a black republic in the making was the cause of much merriment among white people. Yet they accepted as a matter of course the election of a president of the Irish Republic long before such a republic existed. The Negro must not even aspire to the leadership of his own people. For more than half a century the white man has succeeded in laughing the Negro into a state of subjection and servility. It is up to the Negro of today to cease being fooled by this clownish attitude camouflaging fear, and let the white man know that his efforts in this direction are being wasted. The progressive Negro of today should be able to decide for himself what is sensible and what is not. What is helpful to the progress and future economic security of his people and what is not. And he should make up his mind beforehand that once his decision is made, no designing and prejudiced white man will be able to laugh him out of his position. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has been laughed at more than any organization of Negroes in the history of the race. And who have made it the butt of ridicule? The white man who scented trouble in the rallying cry "Africa for the Africans" and the pitiful, misguided Negro who believes that the "leopard will change his spots" and some day the white man will give the Negro an equal chance in a white man's country. But the test of years has proved that the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association can survive any attack that any white man can make upon them. Loyal members of the organization who have worked with it through all of its hardships and vicissitudes have proved themselves superior to the Negro who is easily discouraged by the white man's propaganda, and most of all superior to the Negro who is blinded by it. The real reason for the ridicule of the Universal Negro Improvement Association by the white man has been successfully concealed from the eyes of thousands of Negroes who are Garveyites at heart but who are laughed out of their mental attitude by senseless and inconsistent criticism of inconsequentials. They would laugh you out of countenance because of your uniform, so that you might forget its significance, when, as a matter of fact, a uniform has yet to be invented which has not at some time been used by the white race. They would jeer because you talk of acquiring a country of your own where groups of Negroes may live in peace and happiness like normal human beings among their own kind. But such conditions obtain throughout the world. The Negro must learn to listen and read with understanding. The longer you allow the other fellow to fool you, the longer you will remain in subjection.—THE EDITORS. ive Page SLAVERY IN SIERRA LEONE GIVEN LEGAL STATUS BY SUPREME COURT Amazing and Brazen Ruling Nullifies Recent Legislation Providing That Slaves Could Buy Their Freedom at the Rate of $20 for an Adult and $10 for a Child Court Declares That to Make It Possible for a Slave to Free Himself Would Be to Recognize the Existence of Slavery as an Institution—Bishop of Protectorate Tries to Justify Decision LONDON—The offorts of the Colonial Office to abolish slavery throughout the British Empire have been given a serious setback by a decision of the Supreme Court of Sierra Leone, holding that slave-owners in the Sierra Leone Protectorate have a right to capture runaway slaves. Slavery has thus been given a legal status in Sierra Leone, where it has existed as an established native custom ever since the British took over the Protectorate in 1896. The decision of the court came as a considerable surprise, to people in England, as it had been understood that slavery was being abolished in Sierra Leone through recent legislation providing that slaves could buy their freedom at the rate of $20 for an adult and $10 for a child, and making all persons free who were borne in or entered the protectorate. Atlanta Barber Bill Is Unconstitutional, Says Supreme Court ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 15. The famous (or infamous). Atlanta "barber bill" prohibiting Negro barbers from cutting the hair of white children under 14 years of age, which was enacted by the City Council last year, has finally received its death blow at the The Supreme Court of Sierra Leone took the view, however, that this legislation, by making it possible for a slave to free himself, recognized the existence of slavery as an institution, and made it possible for an owner to follow and capture any slave who absconded. The widest publicity has been given to this decision by the Manchester Guardian, which says that the judgment will be likely to have a far-reaching effect throughout the West African colonies; that it may be interpreted by chiefs in Nigeria and the Gold Coast as meaning the British Government has laid it down that slaves may be held and recaptured. In the meantime, the Colonial Office is investigating the whole situation, and it is possible that funds will be raised privately in England to have the Sierra Leone decision appealed to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, which is the court of last resort in legal questions arising in the colonies. "DIFFICULT PROBLEM." SAYS BISHOP The Bishop of Sienna Lgone, Dr. G. W. Wright, who is in England on a holiday, declares the problem of slavery in the protectorate is not one which can be easily solved. He said: "It must be home in mind that conditions in the protectorate are still largely primitive, and I must not be thought defending slavery if I say one of the problems of the government is how to protect the ancient rights of the people—for instance, in the non-alienation of land and property—together with the human rights of the slave himself, and the difficulty is in protecting him when he cannot protect himself as a newly freed man, if the slave "system is immediately abolished." Immediate abolition of slavery could only be accomplished, according to the bishop, by England putting up the money, $20 a head, for redemption of the slaves, and any redemption fund would have to be an unlimited liability, as no one knows how many slaves there are in the population of the protectorate. The custom of buying and selling slaves is still practiced in Abyssinia where hundreds of human beings are sold on the block each week.

McGoya's Laboratories, Inea, 62 W. 14th Street, New York City Atlanta Barber Bill Is Unconstitutional, Says Supreme Court ATLANTA, Ga. Sept. 15. The famous (or infamous) Atlanta "barber bill," prohibiting Negro barbers from cutting the hair of white children under 14 years of age, which was enacted by the City Council last year, has finally received its death blow at the hands of the Supreme Court of Georgia, which this week declared the law courtly to the constitutions of both the state and the nation. The law never went into effect, even for a day, having been held up immediately after its passage by a court injunction applied for by the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce. The Supreme Court now writes the concluding charter in this interesting case. The measure, supposed to have been sponsored by white barbers and by politicians seeking to capitalize race prejudice, was rushed through the Council without a public hearing. In its original form it prohibited both white and colored barbers from serving persons of the opposite race. "A storm of opposition, led by the interracial Committee, the Minister's Alliance, the Chamber of Commerce, the daily papers, and other influential agencies, immediately descended upon the Council and forced the repeal of the measure. The bill was then greatly modified and was again railroaded through the Council. The Chamber of Commerce, with the backings of the other groups opposed to the measure, then took the case of the courts, with the graftifying results indicated above. The case well illustrates the apparent fact that race prejudice is most general and intense at the level of economic competition, NEW YORK, Sept. 28.—A. M. Wendell Mallist, an ambitious West Indian Negro of this city, is vocatively ambidextrous, inasmuch as from 5 o'clock p. m. until midnight he is oldtimer of the "West Indian Statesman," a weekly newspaper devoted to the progress of his race, while from 8 a. m. to 5 p. m. each day the genial West Indian is porter in a prominent drug store. Mallist is a success in both vocation, and for fear that they are vehicles of endeavor insufficient to appease its zeal for advancement, during odd moments Mallist absorbs, in coptic draughts, a series of treatises upon politics, economics, sociology, philosophy and theology. Outside of this the editor-porter has nothing to do. He has barely found time once since 1918 to attend the theatre. Such intensive application to science and educational classics, has, of course, given Mahlert background for an opinion upon the American literary heights of today, and he is recently quoted as saying: "Fiction is not truly educational to my mind. It consists of relations to life that are, willingly or not, in their essence humorous, and they are no authors worth reading in America today with the exception of Theodore Droser. He is the great American novelist. He is a master, and I am sure that he will be accounted the equal of H. G. Wella." All of which would not be of much significance were it not for the fact that there is many another "Mahlert" whose talents are-serving on a part-time basis, the other side consuming itself in the economic causes of life, as a porter, ball-hop, elevator operator, hall bob, laborer, etc. C.

JAMAICA CRITIC AND OMAHA MONITOR JOIN IN PRESS APPEAL FOR RELEASE OF MARCUS GARVEY FILIPINO CHIEF EAGER FOR TALK WITH COOLIDGE Independence Party Leaders Hail President's Willingness to Confer — See Excellent Results from Conference MANILA, P. L. Sept. 23. Manuel Quzon, president of the Philippine Senate and leader of the Independence section here, today announced that he would sail for Washington on the first available vessel to confer with President Coolidge. A statement issued from his office reads: "At a meeting of a majority of the members of the Philippine Legislature and Senate, President Quzon informed his colleagues of a conference which Resident Commissioner Guevara had had with President Coolidge in which the American Executive manifested willingness to meet the Philippine leaders." Quzon also announced that he would inform the minority members of the Legislature of Mr. Goodidge's willingness to meet the Philippine Legislators. Quzon declared he was pleased by the American President's move. Senator Gerlio Osmeena will serve as President pro tempore of the Senate during the absence of Quzon. MANILA, Sept. 22—Dispatches saying that President Coolidge is willing to hear Filipino leaders on the administration of the Philippines have been received with manifest pleasure by ranking members of the Legislature. Osmeena said the Legislature should welcome the opportunity and send a delegation quickly. "If I am one of those chosen," he added, "I will consider it my duty to go." Speaker Rosas withheld comment pending confirmation of the news. Guevara said: "I do not want to speak for the Legislature, but personally I think such a conference would be a good thing" Quezon endorsed the idea enthusiastically. "It will be a pleasure to place ourselves at the disposal of the President," he said. "If the cable dispatches are correct, we feel that the step contemplated by the President will go a long way toward creating a favorable impression in the country and will be applauded by the people. We think this personal contact and frank discussion of Philippine affairs with the administration at Washington cannot but bring harmony, sympathetic understanding and whole-hearted cooperation." In general sentiment is strong for sending without delay a delegation of a few select men, as it is held that a large delegation would be cumbersome. New York Girls Paddle Canoe to Montreal MONREAL, Sept. 17—Two girls, Lillian Reiten and Enviro Lester of New York, have arrived here in a frail canvas-covered canoe, named Will o' the Wisp on their way to Quebec. The girls, accompanied by a colliot and camping equipment, left their homes about two weeks ago, they said, and had paddled from the Hudson River through Champaign Canal to the Michelieu River and from there to the St. Lawrence River. [From: The Jamaica Critic] MR. MARCUS GARVEY A decade ago Marous Garvey, having failed in his attempt to establish the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the commercial development of Africa, left for America. Garvey was then thirty years of age and had in earlier years suffered a personal affront which he chared up to his race and color. He had tasted of the cup of personal and racial humiliation which, like a red hot iron, entered his soul and gave him neither rest nor peace. Failing to find those in his native land he became a wanderer, who he went from place to place felt more and more keenly the sense of wrong which so grew upon him and possessed his robulous spirit that his whole intellectual and moral faculties were given over to finding a way, to right the wrongs and solve the problems involved in the Nekro race. He hit upon the idea of the federation of the black members of the human race into a world empire under self dominion. This visionary idea was evidently not very clear even to Carvay at the start, but the more he proclaimed "deliverance" the more convinced he became of the feasibility and consumption of his scheme. Carvay evidently did not stop to think of, or count the cost, or be daunted by practical impossibilities. Had he done this he might have been freed with that ever present cautious conscience which makes cowards of so many would be reformers. On the other hand he pressed his idea with so much vigor and industry, that millions flocked to his standard, hypnotised or attracted by the order and eloquence of his advocacy, and his name became a household word the world over while the minds of politicians and statesmen were moved by apprehension and amazement at the possibility of the fulfillment of the faith in a dream. Clearly something had to be done Clearly something had to be done to close th mouth of this black Na pollen. But what could be done, for Far Call of Africa Is Call of the Race Says Kelly Miller Zeal for Africa has usually been in reverse ratio to the hopelessness of attaining equality in America. It was on this basis that Liberia was founded and footed. Dr. Blydon used to declare that the Negro had no reasonable hope for equality in the land of the Anglo-Bacon. Marous Garvey based his propaganda upon the same foundation. I very much doubt that the Jew would evince such yearning for return to his mother Zion if his people were not persecuted beyond endurance by the nations of the earth among whom they sojourn. After all he has been said and done the Negro peoples, everywhere, feel deep down in their heart of hearts that Africa is their racial home. Some may try to support this feeling; some may deny its existence. But a closer searching of the recourses of one's own soul would disclose it hidden in the deep recourses. There are few if any deep thinkers, of any race, who believe that the scattered fragments of the Negro race will find permanent satisfaction and full equality in the lands of their sojourn upon the face of the earth. The far call of Africa is the call of the race. The deep orchth户, into the deep. It may not always be a clear clarion call, but nevertheless it sounds and resounds, "far, far away, like balls at evening pealing!"—Kelly Miller. JAZZ AS MENACE TO WHITE RACE Lowering "White Prestige" and Should Be Banned, Says Famous British Musician LONDON. Sept. 23. Jazz must be banned by the white races if they wish to maintain their prestige, said Sir Henry Coward, famous musician, addressing the Sheffield Rotary Club today. Jazz was largely responsible for lowering pre-war standards, he said, and it must be tabooed in every shape and form until its baneful influence is gone. "If we wish to avoid the fate for the great empires which have dominated and declined, including Egypt, Babylon, Greece and Rome," he said. "We must see that our lotus-eating does not take the place of working and that we do not allow jazz to pay fat dividends." Jazz is a low type of primitive music, founded on crude rhythms suggested by stamping feet and clapping hands. It puts emphasis on the grotesque by the barking and clanging of pote and pans or any shimmering metallic substance reinforced with special drums. It oblisses both music and instruments by making both forcical. The noble trombone is made to bray like an anse, guffaw like a village idiot and moan like a cow in distress. The silver-tone trumpet, associated in poetry with soraphim, is made to screech and produce sounds like drawing a nail in a slate, tearing calco or the walling of a nocturnal tomcat. "Jazz cannot be made anything but the essence of vulgarity. The popularization of jazz and the attendant immodest dances is lowering the prestige of the white races." The ordinary numerals 1, 2, 3, 4 and so forth, were derived from Hindustan by the Arabs and introduced by them into Europe. Garvey carefully abstained from any trade against the American people and Government? . Finally because something had to be done, he was charged and condemned: for an offense almost laughable and unbelievable and sent to Atlanta prison for five years. There he languishes in a felon's cell, and to the amazement of the world Black America will not write to press for his release. We only had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Garvey once—that was on his last visit to Jamaica, and we never at any time supported him in his scheme, but he is a Jamaican and a British citizen, and we cannot help thinking that he has suffered enough and more than paid for his imaginary outrage on the laws of America. To us it would appear that apart from his life of an African empire his chief offense is that he caught the ear of the world, and commanded the attention, started civilization to ponder, and brought race anxiousness to millions of the Negro race. It may be that for this he should suffer imprisonment, but five years would be too much, and so all members of the race in America should join with his followers in pressing for his release. (From The Omaha Monitor) RELEASE GARVEY The Monitor desires to repeat its request to President Coolidge that Marcus Garvey, he released from Atlanta penitentiary. We are pleased to see that the press is raising a United voice for this act of clemency or justice. Garvey, move the victim of circumstances than of deliberate design, as we have always believed, was sentenced to Atlanta prison for a term of five years for using the mails to defraud. He has served nearly one half of the alleged time. Others have been released and Garvey should be released also. Release Marcus Garvey! Mayor of New York Objects to "Two Dark Men" Dancing with White Women in Rome Cabaret Where He Is Guest (From The New York World, Sept. 23) New York political circles, as well as Harlem and the Italian districts of this city, were stirred yesterday by the charge printed in the Amsterdam News, a Negro weekly, that Mayor Walker, on September 10, had objected to the presence of some Brazilian Negroes in a cabaret in Rome, requesting the management to object them and departed when they were allowed to return. The article was based on a copyrighted despatch printed in the September 12 issue of II Progreso Italo-Americano, an Italian language daily published at No. 42 Elm Street here. The despatch was printed on an inside page under small headlines and apparently drew little comment at the time. The World yesterday sent a wireless message to Mayor Walker, who sailed from Havre on Wednesday aboard the He de France, asking for a statement regarding the alleged affair. No reply had deep received last night. The translation of the despatch as printed in II Progreso Italo-Americano follows: WALKER VISITS A CABARET AND PROTESTS THE PRESENCE OF SOME NEGROES. ROME, Sept. 12.—The Mayor of New York, Hon. James Walker, on Saturday last, after having visited various localities of the capital, accompanied by several friends, went to the noted Cabaret Brasilaria. Among the spectators present in the hall of the cabaret, the Hon. James Walker noted some Negroes. He immediately manifested his desire that the Negroes be dismissed. He was, told that in Italy there is no existing race prejudice, and that the Negroes were Brazilian citizens. On the Honorable Walker's continued insistence, the Negroes were gently asked to leave the establishment. The Negroes after a while were allowed to return, and the Honorable Mayor Walker, noting their reappearance, renewed his protest and abandoned the cabaret. The episode was variously commented on, and not very favorably. None of the Tammany leaders or City Hall officials would comment yesterday on the incident, stating that any remarks must come first from the Mayor. The most favored unofficial explanation seemed to be that it's such an incident took place some American had impersonated the Mayor. Confirmation Comes (From The New York World, Sept. 24) ROME, Sept. 24—Anton Bragaglia, owner of the theatre and night club of the same name, gave The World an emphatic depal of the story that Mayor James J. Walker had demanded the ejection of two Brazilian Negroes from his night club and had left when they returned. Bragaglia said: "I'm glad to have the chance to state the facts. Mayor Walker, seeing two dark men dancing here, told me he was surprised I allowed them to dance with white women. I replied the reason was that I am a Catholic and the Catholic Church not only recognized black people as brethren in Christ, but the Pope created Nego Bishops. "But since Mayor Walker was my distinguished guest, that opening, I asked the Brazilians in question not to dance. They were very indignant and explained they were not Negroes but Creoles, and, moreover, French citizens, although Brazilian born, and artists. They were members of a French troupe then residing in Rome, they said. "I told this to Mayor Walker and he accepted the explanation. I also asked a friend of mine to tell the Brazilians not to dance any more because I didn't want any fuss. They left off dancing Mayor Walker did not leave my place before everything was over, and never even threatened to do so." Life Term Advocated For Red Flag Display A bill under which any person displaying a red flag or any other emblem of opposition to organized government could be convicted of a felony and receive a maximum sentence of life imprisonment has been filed with the clerk of the House of Representatives of Massachusetts by Representative Harrison H. Atwood. The bill provides that the flag or emblem must be displayed "in such a manner as to innote anarchistic, or seditious action" before a conviction can be obtained. Another bill which Mr. Harrison filed would make the advocacy of criminal syndicalism a felony with a maximum penalty of fourteen years' imprisonment. Trinidad, B. W.

HOW THE ALIEN'S WORK IN AFRICA HINDERED RATHER THAN ASSISTED THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PEOPLE Africa's Problems Today Really Result from the Contacts Between Black and White, Says Gold Coast Times, Tracing Cause and Effect of Trouble That Has Arisen—Unifying Processes Were Arrested IMPOSING OF ALIEN RULE ITSELF A GRIEVANCE Natives of Africa Were Not Allowed to Work Out Destiny, by Nature's Methods as Rome and England Did—Alien Intrusion Burdened Country with Greater Evils Which Will Not Be Endured The problems of Africa still continue to occupy the attention of officials engaged in administrative work in the Continent and others interested in its economic development. But these problems of Africa so-called are really problems arising from the contacts between black and white; they are not problems that would have thrust themselves forward in the ordinary way if the white races had come to Africa with any other involve than to dominate the race and to influence the lives of the people. And to study these problems with any advantage it is necessary to trace out the causes which have given rise to them and their effects with the possible solution to them. Africa, south of the Sahara and stretching all the way down to the spout, is inhabited by a race with a humanity and conception of life greatly differing from that of any other branch of the human family. If this portion of the globe was not actually the original homo of mankind, it seems at least to have been the home of a race which had enjoyed an earlier civilization, but whose civilization is now dormant, awaiting a period of revival. This would be the impression of the student of antiquity after a survey of the conditions prevailing in this part of the African Continent, for wherever he travels in these parts he would alight upon treatments of culture, original in their features; and, of course, there can be no fragments but what had fallen off a composite mass through the wear and fear of time. The petty native states dotted all over the Continent, whose population, with the exception of such as those in the areas bordering on the Sahara desert, are less than a million each, may have been the remnants of larger social and political organizations in a bygone age. A study of the customs, institutions and philology of the races inhabiting the Gold Coast, Ashan, Northern Territories, Togoland and Dahomay, for example, would reveal traces pointing to an earlier civilization and a common origin. When the Allon Arrived At any rate when the white spaces first arrived on the Coast, whence they commenced the exploration of the interior, they found a number of mutually independent native states, living much in common in racial characteristics, working themselves into a fusion by a natural process of inter-tribal wars and the survival of the fittest. European writers have often dwelt on this state of affairs and, taken credit to their nationals for the peace and order which they established where previously was war, slavery and rapine. In but doing so they overlook the other side of the matter. Apart altogether from the fact that they only succeeded in establishing public order in the Continent after they had slaughtered probably more of the native inhabitants, through punitive expeditions, than had ever fallen in the tribal wars in which the latter were mutually engaged, our white friends overlook the point that the credit they derived from their achievement was neutralized by the evils they created in their wake, such as the slave trade. In other respects there is not, much credit due to the white races for the establishment of peace and order in the Continent, since their efforts were prompted by' the motive of gain by the founding of settlements for their surplus populations, or the acquisition of territories to carry on their trade and to control sources of raw materials. Bessidon, their presence in the Conflict arrested the tribal conflicts which were the only possible means of the fusion essential in the building of strong independent states. This process is Nature's own method, and is not peculiar to Africa. A great empire that founded by the Romans established its power and supremacy over a large portion of the civilized world by the fusion of states through military adventures around Europe and elsewhere. In the little island country of Britain was at one time a number of petty kingdoms under differr rulers, and it was only through inter-tribal war that an ordered government was evolved for the whole country. But this process did not end there, but continued until there was established the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. All this shows that inter-tribal wars were not peculiar to Africa nor were they necessarily a mark of barbarism. And, studying the subject from this standpoint, with the reflection that in their real to establish peace and security in the Continent they incidentally interposed a check to the natural evolution of the race towards a higher social and political order. Africans have little to be grateful for in regard to the early intrusion of the white races. Causes of the Trouble Some of the causes which have produced the problems of Africa are, therefore, the check to the natural evolution of the race. Races are living organisms created, to expand and to record progress. No race in the history of mankind has ever been stationary; it has either gone forward or perished in the attempt. But Africane who exceptionally vigorous phlegue has enabled them to withstand the hideous conflicts from within and without, and who are still maintaining their virility in the face of the wearing effects of Western civilization. have proved that they are marked out for a higher destiny. To have arrested abruptly the natural evolution of a race so virile and with such exceptional powers of endurance, and to repress and suppress it by the policies followed by the white governments in Africa is naturally to create a problem; and the restlessness observable among natives all over the Continent is but the effect of the pent-ing steam seeking an outlet. The divesting of native communities of their former independence and the imposing of an alien rule upon them is in itself a natural grievance, and when the grievance is aggravated, by the abuses which an alien rule has brought in its train, such as the slave trade, the "red rubber" scandals of the Leopold regime in the Congo, forced labor and the liquor traffic it must found expression in a way which creates a problem. The Chief Grievance The chief grievance of African natives and the basis of the spiritual revolt against white rule is the denial to them of the right to participate in the management of their affairs. No system of government can be as acceptable to any race as self-rule, and no race would willingly abandon its freedom in preference for alien rule. Even so it should be possible for the European governments who have assumed control in Africa to temper alien rule to a degree as to make their weight lightly felt by the natives and even at times to make them forget that they live under foreign domination. And the problems of Africa will be solved on the day that the white governments introduce such reforms as would please the natives in a position to exert a wholesome influence in administration. At the present moment administrative methods in Africa are merely experimental, and the governments are doing nothing else than feeling their way about, because the true guides to success, whose co-operation should be enlisted, are the natives, whose influence is wholly eliminated in the work of administration. The African outlook differs materially from the European outlook, and for the dependencies to be developed in order to produce results satisfactory to both races, the natives must be taken into full partnership in the big concern of administration. And when they have been advanced to that position we shall have spontaneous co-operation as the natives will derive the satisfaction as having their views accepted and acted upon now and then, and the white administrator will not always dictate and have the last word in every instance.

KANSAS LEAGUE RENEWS BATTLE TO OUST NEGROES "Betterment League" Takes Up Task Started by Greenwood Association, Openly Declaring Its Aims to Drive Negroes Out of Neighborhood (From the Kansas City Call.) Using the recently started movement for more park space on the East Side of the city as an excuse, the East-Central Betterment League, a white improvement association, has officially renewed the fight to get Negroes out of the district known as Round Top. The league met Monday night at Summe Hall, Twenty-seventh street and Jackson avenue and discussed plans of the campaign. "Need a Park" As usual, the excuse was that a park was needed. It happens also, as it has happened before, that the very land needed for a park is the land on which Negroes are living. It seems, that the land between Twenty-eighth and Thirtieth streets and Jackson and Cleveland avenues is ideal for a park. This land is owned or being bought by Negroes. The Negro settlement has existed for thirty years there. A school, the Booker Washington, serves the district. Negro children have grown to manhood there and have started their little ones to the Booker Washington school. Not Bashful About Purpose The East-Central Settlement League is not a bit bashful about stating the purpose for which it wishes this land condemned. It wants these Negro residents kicked out of the neighborhood and soon. A statement in the daily papers Tuesday said the league had concerned itself only with this one project "which is an attempt to remove Negro residents from the neighborhood and form a race barrier." This move is merely the renewal of an old fight by whites to take the homes of Negroes in these blocks. The agitation previously was carried on by the old Greenwood Improvement Association. Although it was planned to request the park board to condemn the land at its meeting yesterday, the request had to be postponed because the board did not meet. U. for of Cen. imp. ren. of t.

Invited to Co-operate to Free Marcus Garvey Non-Members of U.N.I.A. Invited to Co-operate to Free Marcus Garvey During the last three months there have been many expressions of opinion by various institutions and responsible leaders of thought in the United States regarding the imprisonment of Hon. Marcus Garvey. The consensus of opinion is that the great leader in an earnest and laudible endeavor to serve the Negro race fell foul of the technicalities of a Federal law and suffered imprisonment, thereby, his enemies and those who, for selfish reasons, oppose the growth of the Negro race to manhood status having united in a despicable scheme to silence him and bring about the disintegration of the movement he had ably and laboriously reared. In view of this, The Negro World would be pleased if non-members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association who are desirous of co-operating in bringing the case of Marcus Garvey once again before the authorities for the purpose of securing Executive clemency, for him would communicate with the Editor of The Negro World, 142 West 130th Street, New York City. It would be greatly appreciated if they would do this immediately, so that the steps to be taken might be consummated at an early date. English Are Losing Control of Canada OTTAWA, Canada, Sept. 18. Fifty-three percent of the population of Canada is of British descent and it is feared that within the next fifty years the proportion will be still lower and the Dominion will be dominated by a foreign-born and a French Canadian population. Immigration to Canada for the first seven months this year totaled 119,678, as compared with 86,480 for the corresponding period in 1926, and more than 60 percent of these came from other countries than the United Kingdom and the United States. The great bulk of Canadian immigration of the past generation has been drawn from the English-speaking countries and from those continental European countries where the population is ethnically related to the British. Desperate attempts are being made by the British and Canadian Governments to have the British-born immigrants exceed those from other countries. These attempts are not succeeding, despite a. terrific expense borne by the Dominion. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1927 Umbrella Many Years In Becoming Popular The umbrella was well known in England late in the seventeenth century, but it took many years for it to become widely popular. The first man to carry them there suffered the usual penalties of ridicule. The bitter coffee-house keepers always kept one or two of them for the use of their gentleman patrons in case of rain, and this led to great clamor from the chairmen and hackney coachmen who considered rainy weather an act of God designed especially for their particular benefit, writes Frank H. Vizetelly, editor New Standard Dictionary. Wherever these unscrupulous men sighted an umbrella they tried to wreck it. In "The Female Tatler" there appeared an announcement in 1709 to "a young gentleman belonging to the Custom house, who, in fear of rain, borrowed the common umbrella at Will's coffee house in Cornhill, and "is hereby advised that to be dry from head to foot on future like occasions he shall be welcome also to the mald's pattena." Pattena was the term applied to heavy-soled wooden shoes. Social Survey Describes Difficulties Under Which They Live Economic Stress Brings Neglect by Parents Who Must Work-No Recreational Facilities The glitter of Harlem's principal thoroughfares does not represent the true state of the interior of New York's "black belt," according to a study of delinquent and neglected Negro children made recently by the Joint Committee on Negro Child Study. The findings and recommendations of the committee are based on an intensive seven months' investigation of the home life of youthful Negro defendants brought into the New York Children's Court. One reason for the survey was a desire to interest citizens of both races in the imperative need of opportunities for the Negro adolescent. Children Neglected There are now more than 200,000 of the colored race in New York. In the last ten years, through migrations from the South, the Negro population of New York has increased. It is said, at a rate nearly four times as great as the increase in general population. This tide has brought with it a neglect of little children. To pay the high rents of Harlem, the earning ability of the father is often not sufficient and the mother must aid. The result is that the younger generation lacks both home guidance and a place in which to play. With both parents away from home until late in the day there results in the life of the child an abolition of restraint, the creation of an environment in which immorality, juvenile delinquency and similar evils breed quickly. The number of Negro juvenile delinquents has been increasing year by year. The percentage of Negro boys and girls arraigned in the Children's Court virtually doubled in the six-year period from 1919 to 1925. Some 575 Negro children and 13,052 white children were brought before the court in 1919, the Negroes representing 42 percent of the total. In 1925 there were 800 Negro children and 10,002 white children before the court, the Negroes then forming 8 percent of the total, or almost three times the relative percentage of the general Negro population of the city. The situation is complicated by the somewhat isolated character of the Negro population and by the special problems they have to face. The provisions of preventive and correctional facilities, for children in the city is held to be inadequate, and for Negro children particularly distressing because certain agencies and institutions make no provision for them, according to the committee. Offenace and Remedies Much, it is urged, could be done to cut, down the amount of delinquency. Proper social influence is advocated. The committee calls attention to the nature of the offenses for which Negro children are usually brought to the Children's Court. Whereas the most common charge against white boys is theft, that against Negro boys is disorderly conduct. The offense, second in importance among Negro boys is desertion of home, whereas among white boys it is burglary. In approximately 85 percent of the Negro girl delinquency cases the charge is "ungovernable and wayward," or desertion of home. Incidentally, Negro boys brought into court for delinquency outnumber girls three to one. And of fifty cases picked at random by the committee only one child was found to have had any contact with organized recreation. Recommendations made by the Joint Committee on Negro Child Study include more municipal facilities for recreation, and, as a beginning, endorsement of a site for a playground at 130th Street and Fifth Avenue. Supervision of play activities at all times during the year is suggested, to supplement the opening of school yards after school hours and Saturday during the summer months. Neighborhood centers in congested districts are also advocated as a means of keeping family units together. "Bloody Sweat" of Hippo Due to Carmine Pigment The skin in the hippopotamus, which in some places is two inches thick, contains a large quantity of oily substance which oxides from the pores. When the animal is excited or in pain this oily substance flows more freely and is tinctured red in color, resembling blood. This is the "bloody sweat" for which the hippopotamus is famous. The color of the oily fluid is not produced by blood. It is the result of a popular carmine pigment in the skin, which is brought out by the sweat, says the Pathfinder. Conan Doyle Expects To Convert a Bishop LONDON.—The advance of spiritualism is indicated by the fact that even the clergy now recognize it, according to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, one of the leading British spiritualists. "Spiritualism," he said, "he now being recognized, and both the Church of England and the Nonconformist churches are becoming reconciled to the Spiritualist view and are quietly adopting it." "One of those days we will convert a Bishop and that will be the beginning of the end."

Thirty years ago a Viennese Jowr. Dr. Theodor Herzl, convened the first Zionist congress at Basle, Switzerland, to which delegates from Jewish communities throughout the world were sent. They resolved to work for the establishment of Palestine as the national Jewish homeland. As a tribute to thirty years of Zionist achievements in Palestine Isaac Melster of 100 East Forty-second street, this city, has contributed $5,000 to the Zionist organization of America, according to an announcement issued by the organization today. The gift of $5,000 was made in conjunction with a lifts membership campaign being conducted by the Zionist organization for the raising of $200,000 during the summer months. Trans-Saharan Railway Will Link Three Flags ALGIERS.—A joint subcommission, which is composed of twelve members, has recently been formed by both Senatorial commissions of Algeria and colonies to handle closely all questions relating to the construction of the future trans-Saharan railway. Good will and all preliminary studies will be taken care of by this organization with a view to hastening completion of the road. M. Messimy, former Minister of War; Gen. Bourgois, president of the commission of Algeria, and M. Mablen, president of the superior council of the French railways, are the prominent members of the joint subcommission, whose program was outlined before Premier Polnarek. The proposed track will connect French North Africa with Sudan, the British Nigeria and the Belgian Congo.

The first step toward outlining the concrete program was to be taken on the occasion of the third international congress in Rome on the scientific organization of labor. Representatives of the Italian society for scientific organization, which was established as part of the ministry of national economy, participated in the sessions of the congress with a view to drawing up a detailed plan applicable to Italian conditions. It is the intention to limit the experiments at first to three branches of production—motor cars, artificial alk and agriculture.

BEGINNING TO SEE THE LIGHT THE light is beginning to shine in dark places, in minds which have been clouded and overshadowed, on the real problems which confront the Negro, and which he must understand and direct, if he would secure the measure of justice and fair play to which he is entitled. He cannot leave it for understanding and direction to those who undervalue his character and would appropriate and use his social, civil and economic values to their own selfish advantage, as they did when slavery was planted in the West Indies and in the United States and, as an effort is being made now to do in the Union of South Airyra, and in most places where the Negro is in touch with the life of the white man, especially of the English, speaking people. These latter have reached the conclusion, because it serves their prejudices and greed so to do, that the Negro people are an inferior people, incapable of governing themselves, or of sharing equally in the governments of the white man, and is profitable only as he can be used and abused to make power, and riches for white people. The fact that the same principles which govern in the relations of white people with white people should govern in the relations of white people with the Negro and other off-color peoples, is being ignored generally by the white races in the United States, in the West Indies and in Africa, as far as the Negro is concerned, and in Asia as far as the off-colored people are concerned, and in Latin America as far as the Indian is concerned. It has just been brought out that there are some 20,000,000 Indians in Latin America whose status is quite that of slavery, growing out of the collapse and decay of the old Inca civilization, the unfortunate victims of which are beginning to think and act and to disturb the whole of Latin America, in which they are held to involuntary servitude. The spirit of freedom is abroad in the earth. Victimized peoples are beginning to ask why they should be wronged without redress by the white races, who have overleaped the bounds of their own habitations and seek to conquer and dominate their brethren in their habitations. When dead men who live have been wronged by live men who are dead to justice and fairplay begin to wake up, it is easy to see that a time of unusual troubles menace mankind Mr. Garvey's enemies begin to see that the Negro cannot live to himself alone, because the white man will not allow him to do so, and that if he would live at all and get anything worth while out of living, he must realize that his problems, like those of the Jews, while appearing to be local in character, are really international, and that he can only get the most out of his social, civil and economic values by local awakening and international understanding and cooperation. Mr. Garvey saw all of this when he organized the Universal Negro Improvement Association on an international basis of understanding, cooperation and organization. His enemies begin now to see the soundness of his position and the effectiveness of his propaganda, which is being felt and is moving the Negro to think in all parts of the earth. And what the Negro needs most is a broad outlook on himself and a proper appreciation of himself and of his values of whatever sort. The primary purpose of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is to hammer these facts into his consciousness. WE SHOULD GET AS MUCH OUT OF POLITICS AS WE PUT INTO IT. $ ^{a} $ THE members of the Universal Improvement Association have been taught that they should get as much out of politics as they put in it. They understand this principle very well. It is a primary principle governing the conduct of citizens in a Republic, in which government by party is necessary and unavoidable. If they want to accomplish any reform whatsoever, if they want to derive any advantage to which they are justly entitled and which is withheld from them by bad legislation or judicial opinion, they can only secure it through party action. If all existing parties are opposed to the constitutional interests of a group or a race, constituting a minority of the electorate, it becomes the duty of the minority to enter its protest and to labor to become the majority party, as was the case with the anti-slavery minority, which was only able to succeed when it created a new party which drew enough persons from the old parties to make it the majority party, with Abraham Lincoln as its most outstanding and commanding personality. Even when he was elected president, Mr. Lincoln, as the Republican candidate, received fewer votes than the combined votes of his opponents: The Negro citizen has consistently got less out of politics than he put in it because he has been an ignorant rather than an intelligent minority, swayed almost entirely by tradition and prejudice, and by a selfish and corrupt leadership. There is less corruption in our political leadership than in former years, perhaps because our political values have so greatly depreciated as to be quite negligible, but there is no less narrowness and slavery to tradition. And there will be little change for the better in our political fortunes, low as they are, until we have greater average economic independence. Where everybody wants something, it is difficult to get them all to unite and labor to get any the common values and the benefit of the mass which represents them. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1927 HOLY PLACES By Herbert D. Gulland Wherever souls of men have worshiped, there Is God: where old cathedral climb the sky, Or shining hillsides lift their heads on high, Or silent woodland spaces challenge prayer, Or inner chambers shut the heart from care: Where broken temples of old faiths now lie Forgotten in the sun, or swallows cry Ar disk about some crossroads chapel bare. Alike of bells and beauty; where saints walked Of old with speaking presences unseen Or dreaming boys with quiet voices talked In pairs last night on some still college green; Where Moses' Sinai famed, or Jesus trod The upward ways apart; there, here, is God!

It helps the sick to become weaker and aids the healthy to keep well. We should all get our share. But we should be careful about the way we secure the first dose of sunshine when going to the seashore or to nearby beaches. It is not good for any of us to expose our bodies to extreme sunlight for several hours the first time we sit outdoors in the sun. Try to get your sunburn gradually by remaining out for a short time only. At first by gradually lengthening the period so that your skin will become accustomed to the direct rays of the sun by degrees. Remember to get outdoors in the sunlight for some part of every day when you are in the city, as well as when you are in the country. You should get some sunlight, every day. Your home needs sunlight to keep it healthful and attractive, in selecting your apartment try to find one into which the sun may shine. If one room is located so that it gets more than the others, make this, your living room. Bedrooms also should get sunshine. Sunlight helps health. See that you get your share, but do not think it is a sure-all for every ill. Keep your general resistance high by living carefully. "Gold! Gold! We've discovered a gold mine!" gold mines." Such a cry would cause a stampede as we all rushed to the "New Klondike." And, if it were discovered, furthermore, that there was gold enough for all, the famous rush to Florida would seem like nothing, compared to the hurrying of people to this new mine. There is a gold mine which has plenty of gold for all of us. But most of us don't think of it, or do not realize the true value of its gold. This mine is the sun, and its gold is sunshine. Sunshine is more valuable than gold itself. It bears health and energy for those who use it. It is one of the biggest enemies of disease germs. It builds up one's general physical condition and keeps one in good condition and spirits. All of us should get plenty of sunshine. Good health is the best capital a person can have. It means efficiency. Efficiency can be converted into money. So sunshine is, indirectly, a gold mine. Good health means happiness, so sunshine is also a kind of golden-haired fairy godmother. C. L. Burnham has said, "There is always sunshine, only we must do our part; we must move into it." The gold mine of sunshine has been discovered. There is a share for all of us. Are we making it our concern to get that share? Are we moving into it? The city has supplied us with parks so that we may enjoy the grass and sunshine. It is up to us now to use the parks and to gather our share of gold in the form of sunshine. Pilate's Famous Question To Jesus, "What Is Truth?" Was Not Said in Jes William Lyon Phlose speculates on an unexplained passage of the Scrip-tures in Sorbino's Magazine. He writes: "A passage in the Gospel, which no one has ever satisfactorily explained in Pilates famous question: What is truth? "What was the expression on Pilate's face and the tone of his voice as he uttered that question? Bacon, in his famous essay, wrote 'What is truth? said josting Pilate.' But he surely was not josting. He may have been indifferent or impatient, but he was not jocose. Yet in the mystery plays, which Bacon know as well as Shakespeare, Pilate was sometimes represented an a jester; and I myself feel certain that just as Shakespeare got his Herod in 'Hamphil' from the stage and not from the table, Bacon toil his Pilate from the same source. "Platae was a Roman, a practical politician, with a Roman's and a politician's contempt for abstract theory. He was a little notted and possibly dismayed that Jesus in this terrible emergency should talk about truth. "You don't want the truth. Don't you see that you are in mortal peril? What you want is a practical scheme to get you out of this fix. For it is plain that Plato, admired the compuress of Jesus and wanted to save him from the mob. "Some one said, 'though somewhat profane that tree, if himself could not answer Plato's question.' reconstruction days, and it will continue to be that way until we have more average economic independence. President Coolidge's declaration that he "does not choose to run for president in 1928" has thrown our political leaders, such as they are into contusion, as they are always for the renunciation of the Republican president in office, whether he has been a good president for the Negro or a bad or indifferent one. When the field is open to all, as President S. Coolidge's statement makes it, they grope in the darkness as blind sign grope in the light. Other race groups of the citizen-boy organize and vote to get as much out of politics as they put in it, but the Negro race group has no political organization worth while and each one going as seems best to him the whole race gets little benefit out of its voting and rank partisanship, which means little in New York and less in Mississippi. The Negro has yet to learn to organize and direct his voting so that he may get the most and not the least out of his partisan values. THE SORT OF EDUCATION AFRICANS NEED IN AFRICA. education which did not enable them to understand themselves better than ignorant persons can understand themselves, and to make the most out of their education and not the least in competition with others who strive after the good things in living. Here in the United States there was much opposition to the system of industrial education advocated by the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, the chief opponent of which was Dr. W. F. B. DuBois, the chief fugleman of the higher education, but Dr. Washington's idea prevailed and went further by adopting the other idea that the higher and better education man has the better fitted was he to master and make use of the industrial education. That principle obtains today in the education of the youth of all races of the citizenship. The higher education is considered as the best foundation upon which to build the industrial or scientific education of the youth. In a well-considered article on "What Is Wrong With Education in South Africa," reproduced in The Negro World of September 17, the Gold Coast Times states its whole case in the opening paragraph, as follows: "Education should be a means to an end, and the end in view to which it should be directed is the development of-character and the training of the youth, to be a self-supporting unit in his community. It should aim at developing character-at training the youth to be honest and courageous—while providing him with a vocation that will enable him to support himself after his school career. The youth whose character has been so developed as to make him reliable and fearless, with the sense of-rectitude which makes young people proof against the promptings of evil companions, and has also been provided with a vocation, makes the best of citizens and the truest of patriots. Where education has failed to come up to the requisite standard not only in West Africa but also in Europe is that it has not succeeded in inculcating firmly in the vast majority of the people the virtues of honesty and chivalry in their dealings with their fellow men. We have never disguised the fact as to the defects in the character of some of our own people, defects which have been accentuated by the contacts with foreign elements. But while-admitting this we have never conceded that the white man is superior to the black man in the matter of moral qualities. That is to say, the native African in Africa needs the education that trains the mind, shapes the character and prepares the beneficiary to do the work he is adapted to and specializes to do to the best advantage to himself and the community in which he must live and labor—such as scientific agriculture, stock raising, mining, the skilled trades, with moral philosophy and the science of government as the sufficient bases for these. MOBOCRATS CAN BE CONTROLLED GEORGIA has exploded the fiction that mob law can prevail when public opinion and legal process declare that it shall not. The epidemic of kidnappings and floggings of white people by white people which prevailed for a time in Georgia had to bow to the will of public opinion and legal process. It depends mostly upon whose ox is gored. When white folks, who are also human at bottom, turn upon and begin to devour each other, fear takes possession of the law-abiding sort and they get together and decree that the lawless mob shall go so far and no farther. We notice with interest that while the white folks were busy kidnapping and flogging each other in Georgia there was a halt in the flogging and lynching of Negroes. That is usually the way. Having demonstrated for their own protection that law and legal process can prevail, when whites are pitted against whites, it became impossible to admit that they could not be made to prevail as between the white mob and the black victim. As a consequence Georgia is now enjoying a season of law and order quite unusual and which is bound to last until there is another outburst of devilment. And Alabama, the adjoining State, has been reveling in the kidnapping and flogging of white people by white people, to such an extent as to arouse the wrath and vengeance of public opinion and law enforcement. Again it has been shown that the mob has no show for its existence when public opinion and legal process decree that it has not. Ten arrests of white persons for flogging white persons have been made recently in the Birmingham district. Lee Clayton was arrested and placed under a bond of $20,000 for kidnapping, and twelve other offenders were being sought in Jefferson county for the same offense. Think of the large number of Negroes who have been lynched and flogged and driven from home in Alabama of recent years by white mobs, none of whose members has ever been made to face a judge and jury! It should be different hereafter in Alabama, as the lawful authorities have shown that they can control the mob spirit when it turns upon white persons and, therefore, by the same token, can control it when it is turned upon black people. There can be no normal prosperity and progress in any State of community in which law and legal process are at the mercy of the mobocrate. Development of Parchment try, Egypt having a monopoly of what was then the chief material for book fortunate for World manufacture Development of Parchment Fortunate for World Eumannus, casting about for something to take its place, found that parchment had been used with some success and added concentration on its manufacture.

He need not, have worried, however, for Alexandria's library was never suppressed by its rival.

Parchment derives its name from Pergamum, chief city of ancient Mysia, and was there first extensively manufactured as a result of an embargo placed by Egypt on the exportation of papyrus. Pergamum, under Eumenes II, in 127 B. C., had become one of the world's greatest centers of art and royal magnificence, says the Detroit News. Eumenes was a weak man physiologically and took all intellectual interests quite to heart. He founded a great library and determined that it should be fit strengthened of knowledge but Ptolemy Philadelphus ruler of Egypt, became jealous of the growing fame of Pergamum and so poised to embargo on elements of papyrus from his con Gold for All --- THE SPOTLIGHT By NORTON G. THOMAS Mencken and the Negro Gives the Racie a Leader "Cold Facts" to Ponder Whenever you hear your white friends sneering at Marcus Garvey and praising his detractors and the critics of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the same breath, you may rest assured that the propaganda machine of White Supremacy is hitting on all six. It is a practice as old as the hills—your clever white publicist, or politician, or moron, patting some ambitious little Negro on the back and, pointing the finger of simulated scorn at some Negro giant, shouting, as to a canina friend, "Have at 'im, Roxi!" In other words, we are suspicious when a white man, who can see no good or promise in the sterling efforts of the Negro race in America, and especially a white man like H. L. Mencken, who sees no good in anybody or anything anywhere, sets himself the altruistic task of telling the Negro where he must look for light and leading. The Negro, thanks to Garvey, has outgrown his childish credulity. Poison is in the cup your Mencken's proffer, and the Negro will not drink. For H. L. Mencken, the bad boy of American journalism, "Irises a hall" every Sunday morning in the New York World. The great liberal newspaper that gagged Heywood Broun, robbing Sacco and Vanzetti of the help of his trenchant pen, gives Mencken full license once a week in its editorial section. And he prances to his heart's content. His is a very entertaining column, unfailingly replete with sarcasm and scorn and unrestrained invective about this, that or the other. It is a column that is balm to the tired business man or the henpecked husband. The weary and worn devour it as hungrily as they do "Dulcy's Letter to Grayce," by F. P. A., of the nimble wit. To miss Mencken's lines in the New York World of a Sunday is little short of a plamity. For this amazing gentleman can write of "Frogs" and convince you, for the time being, that their croaks are causing the Commonwealth to crumble. An article on "Corks" will hold you spell-bound. Hear him descant on "Prohibition," and you feel like grabbing Volstead and hanging him from the nearest tree. He is the same Mencken on all questions—a genius at destructive criticism, but, withal, diverting and entertaining. He would shed fears over the plight of Mississippi Negrens who must drink corn whiskey while New York millionaires quaff champagne, but he would sooner see George S. Schuyler at the head of the Universal Negro Improvement Association than Marcus Garvey! To Mencken the world is a dark place wherein Moncken and the sun shine. A few weeks ago Mr. Mencken flayed the Negro race in America in general, and Negro pastors, in so far as they lay claim to leadership, in particular. He declared from his platform in "The World that the Negro had done nothing, as an artist, of any importance. The Negro ministers, he insisted, were a millstone around the race's neck, for nothing came out of their stock but "moans." This week he returns to the charge, with a modification of his opinion "in one particular," namely, "Dr. Dott's anthem. Listen to the Lamb!" a genuinely original and moving piece of work. For the Negro clergy he has more abuse, but he does not find it in his heart to mention Billy Sunday, the bright particular jewel in white America's evangelical crown. And then, from a curious, engaging mixture of half-truth and hyperbole anent the Negro's shortcomings—his too lavish expenditure upon religious enterprises and "tin-pot fraternal orders," Mr. Mencken turns to repolling that "Garvey is in the Federal hoosgow at Atlanta," and makes a plea for leadership by George S. Schuyler, and such other "colored intellectuals." He hugs Schuyler, the destructive critic, to his breast. Here assuredly is a kindred soul. "Extremely realistic," he whispers in Schuyler's ear. Then he goes on: What the race now needs is a realistic stock-taking, an unsentimental self-analysis. It is still handcapped by folkways that are archaic and barbarous. It needs to reorganize its religious ideas, to get rid of its lingering childishness and, above all, to deliver itself from the exploitation of frauds and mountebanka. Garvey is now pining in the Federal hoosgow at Atlanta, but multitudes of lesser Garveys, clinical and lay, yet operate upon the black proletariat. If they are ever disposed of it will have to be by a critical movement within the race itself. Fortunately such a movement seems to be taking shape. Led by the Scuyler aforesaid, a number of young colored intellectuals address themselves to flaying the follies of their people. They are no more popular than a Dr. John R. Neal is popular in Tennessee, but the believing against them does not seem to dismay them. "In the long run, I believe, they will be heard. For what they say cannot be dismissed as the standers of alien witnesses, as the present mild remarks, no doubt, will be dismissed. They are as self-consciously colored men as Garvey, himself. The difference is that they are not trying to sell something and that they have a civilized respect for cold facts." Moncken is but wasting ink when, for the consumption of Negroes, and that he may read the printed word with a Satanic grin, he paints Marcus Garvey as a fraud and a mountebank. His reference to Schuyler as a successor to Garvey will produce only a titter. He is right when he observes that his "mild remarks" will be dismissed as the slanders of alien witnesses. What he does not know is that the Negro race will pay as little attention to the Schuylers as to him, and all due to the EPOCHAL SALE which Marcus Garvey has effected. Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association have sold to the world of Negroes GARVEYISM a nine-letter word meaning Negro Manhood and the Realization that God, whom Negroes heretofore wreathily misunderstood, never intended that the Negro race should be the servant of the white or any other race. Garvey has sold to the Negro CONFIDENCE IN SELF and DETERMINATION so to work that some day he will achieve self-government in his God-given land—Africa. Yes, Garvey sold Garveyism and has been all but credited by "White Civilization" for so doing. And what must mortify the Monckens is that they cannot, under law, VOID THE SALE. And as to "civilized respect for cold facts" which Mencken mentions, here are some "cold facts" which Mencken should cease hiding from the Schuylern. (1) No Negro will ever be President of the United States. (2) The Negro, where he is the weak minority, will only get his half loaf of bread when that half loaf does not stand between the strong majority and hunger. (3) So long as the Negro remains a servant race, so long will the Jimmie Walkers and the Menckens, too, talk gibby of equality, but grow purple with rage at the sight of a dark-hued man dancing with a white woman, while reserving for themselves the right to enjoy to the full the society of Negro women, whenever the fancy seizes them. (4) One Marcus Garvey has done more for the Negro race than a million Menckens can ever hope to achieve for his own or any other race. And one word more. If Mencken would stone for his crime in comparing Schuyler with Garvey, let him some Sunday more get into a confessional mood, and, forgetting the Negro clergy, their "ignorance," their "pork-shop level of culture," proclaim to all and sundry the identity and nature of the animal that is feeding on the vitals of the black proletariat at the world over.

Foreign Orders $3.25 Though born in slavery in the State of Maryland, Henry Highland Garnett is the son of an African-chef, stolen from the coast of his native land. His father's family were all held slaves till 1822, when they occupied to the North. In 1835 he became a member of Cannan Academy, New Hampshire. Three months after entering the school it was broken up by a mob, who destroyed the building. Mr. Garnett afterward entered Oneidd Institute, New York, under the charge of that noble-hearted friend of man, Beriah Green, where he was treated with equality by the professors and his fellow students. There he gained the reputation of a courteous and accomplished man, an able and eloquent debater, and a good writer. His first appearance as a public speaker was in 1837 in the City of New York, where his speech at once secured for him a standing among first-class orators. Mr. Garnett is in every sense of term a progressive man. He is a strenuous advocate of freedom, temperance education and the religious, moral and social elevation of his race. He is an acceptable preacher, evangelical in his profession. His discourses, though showing much thought and careful study, are delivered extemporaneously and with good effect. Having complete command of his voice, he uses it with skill, never failing to fill large halls. One of the most noted addresses ever given by a colored man in this country was delivered by Mr. Garnett at the National Convention of Colored Americans at Buffalo, N. Y., in 1848. None but those who heard that speech have the slightest idea of the tremendous influence which he exercised over the assembly. He spent years over a church at Troy and another at Geneva, N. Y., and in 1850 visited England, where he remained lecturing in different sections of the United Kingdom upon American slavery, until 1852, we believe, when, joined by his family, he went as a missionary to Jamaica. After spending three years among the people of that island, he returned to the United States, and is now ministering over Shiloh Church, New York City. Mr. Garnett is about forty-five years of age, unadulterated in race, tall and commanding in appearance, has an eye that looks through you, and a clear voice. He has written considerably, and has edited one or two journals at different times, devoted to the elevation of his race. The following from his pen will give but a faint idea of Mr. Garnett's power as a writer. "The woeful volume of our history, as it now lies open to the world, is written with tears and bound with blood. As I trace it, my eyes ache and my heart is filled, with grief. No other people have suffered so much, and home have been more innocent. If I might apostrophize that bleeding country, I would say, O Africa, thou hast bled at every pore. Thy sorrow has been mocked, and thy grief has not been heeded. Thy children are scattered over the whole earth, and the great nations have been carrified by them. The wild beasts of thy forests are treated with more mercy than they. The Libyan lion and the fierce tiger are caged to gratify the curiosity of men, and the keeper's hands are not laid heavily upon them. But thy children are tortured and hurried out of life by unprecedented cruelty. Brave men, formed in the divinely mold, are bartered, cold and mortgaged. Stripped of every sacred right, they are scourged if they affirm that they belong to God. Women, sustaining the dear relation of mothers, are yoked with the horned cattle to till the soil, and their heartstrings are torn to pieces by cruel separations from their children. Our sisters, ever manifesting the purest kindness, whether in the wilderness of their fatherland, or amid the sorrows of the middle passage, or in crowded cities, are unprotected from the lust of tyrants. They have a regard for virtue, and they possess a sense of honor; but there is no respect paid to these jewels of noble character. Driven into the willing concubinage, their offspring are sold by their Anglo-Saxon fathers. To them the marriage institution is but a name, for their despollers break down the hymeneal altar and scatter its sacred ashes on the winds. "Our young men are brutalized in intellect, and their many energies are filled by the frosts of slavery. Sometimes they are called to witness the agonies of the mothers who bore them, writhing under the lash; and as if to fill to overflowing the already full cup of demonism, they are sometimes compelled to apply the lash with their own hands. Hell itself cannot overmatch a deed like this; and dark damnation shudders as it sinks into its bosom, and seeks to hide itself from the indignant eye of God." Mr. Garnett paid a second visit to England a few months ago, for the purpose of creating an interest there in behalf of emigration to Central Africa. North Carolina University Puts Women on Faculty CHAPEL HILL, N.C., Sept. 20.—For the first time in the 183 years' history of the University of North Carolina, women occupy a place on the faculty of the institution. The women, Miss Salile Marks, formerly of La Crosse, Wia., and Miss Cecilia Bason, formerly of the East Tennessee Teachers College, were voted faculty membership by the university's trustees last commencement after they were made assistant professors of the school of education. They assume their posts when the university session opens Friday. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, CCOBER 1, 1927 The White House Staff And Ita High Work It takes quite a clerical force to aid the President of the United States in the discharge of his manifold duties, and this force is highly trained. The executive office is different from all of the departmental and board organizations in Washington in that it employs only three women in a staff of forty-five, including the messengers. These women are not telephone operators but confidential stonographers. The absence of women is largely due to the fact that training and long service are required. The office is directed by the secretary to the President, but is actively run by the executive clerk, who is really the chief clerk. In addition the President has a personal assistant secretary and a personal aid. Only two titles have ever been conferred and they are held by the secretary and the executive clerk. Under them is a research staff, a communications staff, a filing staff and a clerical staff and the office of White House messenger. The latter offices a dignified one. The White House messenger has the command of an automobile and a good salary. He transmits in person official papers and messages between the President and Congress. The communications staff antodates the telephone, and the head of the office is still a telegraph operator. There has always been a private wire in the White House—New York Sun. Influence of Chinese Writers. Has Been Great Despite the fact that for a period of 2,400 years authors in China could hope for no direct financial returns from their productions, their reward being given in the shape of official appointments and preferments, nevertheless the influence of scholars, thinkers and writers is said to have been greater in China than in any other country. --- The state as a whole and the individual citizen, from the emperor down have, as a rule, been ready to recognize and accept the authority and guidance of literary ideals and of intellectual standards, says the Detroit News. Some authorities assign this as the reason for the unchanging inflexibility of the Chinese classical language, this honor amounting almost to worship which the Chinese have accorded their disciples of literature. Nor do they have the varying standards and ephemeral schools common in the Occident. Juvenile Crime Decreasing In France Since War PARIS. — Juvenile criminality in France is decreasing. Statistics show there have been only three-fifths as many cases as during the few years just after the war. Juvenile courts, began to operate in France a few months before the war, though they were not at their best during the five years of battle. The average number of criminal trials of minors was about 24,000 a year before the courts were created. After the war the number passed 30,000. Now they run about 18,000. The contrast with the pre-war statistics, say investigators, is even more marked because police officials in the old days often let minors go with lectures, because they knew justice was hard. Now minors go to court because the police rely upon juvenile courts to use discretion, which the law gives them. As Asia is now the center of revolutionary activity, we are interested in even the smallest countries that comprise this continent. Russia has had its revolution and settled down to making its Union of Soviet Republics a fit place for all classes. China is still in the throes of revolution, bent on letting white Europe and America know that yellow Chinese are going to be their own bosses in their own country, Indo-China and India are rallying all classes of their country to regain independence from the two European powers that govern them. The Philippines likewise feel that they should be independent of American rule, and so we have all Asia stared up and on the alert about the future control of their respective countries. We will give our readers a peep into two small countries of Asia which we did not pame before. They are Afghanistan and Ceylon, and are important at this time because of possible political happenings in them that affect India.

They are Afghanistan and Ceylon, and are important at this time because of possible political happenings in them that affect India. The Fighting Afghanis Afghanistan is north of India and serves as a gateway into Soviet Russia. The kingdom is independent under the rule of Amanullah Khan since 1918, who has spent the eight years of his reign making reforms and endeavoring to lift his country to the level of other modern and progressive governments. The Afghans are great fighters, and regarding their defense preparations V. B. Metta, writing in "The Indian Review," states: Afghanistan is north of India and serves as a sina. The kingdom is independent under the rule of 1918, who has spent the eight years of his reign oring to lift his country to the level of other nations. The Afghans are great fighters, and relations V. B. Metta, writing in "The Indian Row." "The standing-army of Afghanistan is no conscripts, who serve at the age of twenty after coming to the throne, the King engages the army. But since they the Turks placed by German officers. Military school all large towns. The heir apparent to the core sons are sent to France for their military standing army the King can always count him in times of war. Afghanistan is also.

The Germans of aviation at Kabul. A few Afghans go to. If Abyssian and Liberia would pattern after the things that make world powers respect their own world would indeed feel proud of them.

Immediately after coming to the throne, the King engaged Turkish officers to reorganize the army. But since then the Turkish officers have been replaced by German officers. Military schools have been established in all large towns. The heir apparent to the throne and some of the officers' sons are sent to France for their military education. Besides the standing army the King can always count on the tribesmen to help him in times of war. Afghanistan is also developing an air force. It has got twelve aeroplanes which it bought from the Soviet Government. These airplanes, it may be noted, were made in Russia by the Junker Company, which has recently secured the monopoly of commercial aviation in Persia. The pilots of the Afghan air force are mainly Germans and Russians. The Germans have organized a school of aviation at Kabul. A few Afghans go to Moscow to learn flying." If Abyssian and Liberia would pattern after this little country and acquire the things that make world powers respect them, then Ethiopians in the western world would indeed feel proud of them. Russia, Germany and Turkey, by treaties with Afghanistan, are kindly considered in this mountain country, and if India can overcome religious differences and unite for independence, who can tell the important part that this country may play in this event? Ceylonese Chafe Under British Rule Now we will turn to Ceylon, that little island along they have been fairly docile under British slights by the British have made them wake up being on the road to self government they are developed possessions" of Britain. Farsighted to attain the political importance the Ceylonese federated with India; but the islanders are for writer points, out:— "The Indian intelligentsia would get all salary which the British did not keep for classes of Indians would leave their power take up residence in the island of plenty, side the Jaffna Peninsula, where condition of humanity, are not so fond of working, rest and thrifty as Indians, and, therefore, the Indian competition." Yet, on the other hand, the Ceylonese would for the Britons, merchants and planters, would taxes, and to compete with the more aggressive then realize that their heaven was no longer得 get a chance to come into their own. For these are using subtle influence to prevent a federal although culturally and ethnically they are sin the Ceylonese will continue to chafe under Bri a higher political status. So all Asia moves forward, asking, demand to govern themselves, and to control their dest of action and not lethargy. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE Now we will turn to Ceylon, that little island southeast of India. All along they have been fairly docile under British rule, but recent political slights by the British have made them wake up to the fact that instead of being on the road to self government they are being classed among the "un-developed possessions" of Britain. Farsighted Indians contend that in order to attain the political importance the Ceylonese desire, they should become federated with India; but the islanders are fearful of this because, as one writer points, out:— "The Indian intelligentsia would get all the jobs carrying a good salary which the British did not keep for themselves, and the poorer classes of Indians would leave their poverty-stricken motherland to take up residence in the island of plenty. Most sons of the soil, outside the Jaffna Peninsula, where conditions make for a hardy type of humanity, are not so fond of working, nor are they so persevering and thrifty as Indians, and, therefore, they are mortally afraid of Indian competition." Yet, on the other hand, the Coylonese would be benefited by a federation, for the Britons, merchants and planters, would then be compelled to pay taxes, and to compete with the more aggressive Indians; the Europeans would then realize that their heaven was no longer heaven and the Coylonese would get a chance to come into their own. For these and other reasons the Britons are using subtle influence to prevent a federation of Coylon and India, even although culturally and ethnically they are similar; but without a federation the Coylonese will continue to chase under British repression until they get a higher political status. So all Asia moves forward, asking, demanding, or fighting for the right to govern themselves, and to control their destiny: It is now the continent of action and not lethargy. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS 1 All Asia Awake The Fighting Afghan There is a kink in the black man's composition which makes him never satisfied unless he is pulling his brother black man down, and, of course, the white man takes advantage of this defect in us and makes use of it for our ultimate undoing. It may be said that strife and dissension are common elsewhere and among other races. That may be. But we have to remember this, that never does the white man misjudge and misrepresent his brother white man to the outside world and that is one source of their strength—this sense of group unity and interest.—Gold Coast Leader. If forward-looking men would stop to note all of the rumors and mean things that are said about them they would be standing in the crowd of mediocres at the crack of doom.—Newport News Star. We cannot operate any of our institutions in the same big way that white people operate them, meanwhile we will never be able to own any sort of institutions until we have the courage and the hardihood to follow the experiment through. We speak advisedly when we admonish our people to continue to struggle to maintain their schools themselves, no matter how discouraging and difficult the task may seem—National Baptist Volce. Our efforts are quickened as we are urged on by comparisons. The confident small boy running alone imagines he is flying; but when he gets in a race with other boys of his own age, he soon learns he is not flying, but on the contrary, is making a very poor run—Star of Zion. This reminds us of a colored (white) lady, who was recently traveling in Texas in a Jim crow car. The conductor, after using all his powers at self determination, said to the lady: "Are you white or colored?" The lady looking him squarely in the eye answered: "That's your job to tell; you are being paid to keep the white and colored separate in those trains. You are supposed to know, don't ask me."—St Louis Argus. We are programming for beyond the dreams of our youth and our children are bound to the car of progress. It is our duty to help them keep up with the march. They are confronted by opportunities; schools point them out. Education is the blazing torch that chimes upon the opportunities of life.—Houston Sehmitu. Sentiment, embodying our feelings with reference to persons and occurrences of the past, has been used too often where sound common sense would have been a faltering basis upon which to deal with the Negro. The average political speech to a colored audience has dealt too largely with the historic struggle of sixty-five years ago and too little with the tremendous industrial and civic disabilities we now face.—Boston Chronicle. Mistakes are common to all men How do we make them? Often when trying to be wise and good we blunder and show up foolish and bad. The most of us, if not all of us, would go through this world faultless, but in our efforts to do so, a mistake is made. Every mistake has its penalty. Our curses come of our mistakes just as our blessings come of our pure, faultless actions.—Tampa Bulletin "Not everyone that saith" is a friend—not everyone that smiles and flatters, nor those who desert you when they can no longer use you for selfish purposes, or forstake you at critical moments in your life. These are not your friends, however much they may smile, how or grin. Portland Advocate. Over half of the Negroes in our country are out of the church and less than half of those in the church are supporting members. The present attitude of the Negro toward the church and religion is causing some thinkers to question the old tradition which holds that we are the most religious group in America."—California Vofoe. Employers Have Jobs For Men Over 40 There are many business men in the city who believe with Frederick Clement Schwinge that a man over 40 years of age has not outlived his usefulness. This was brought out at a meeting of the "Co-operative Action Association," formed by Mr. Schwinge to convince employers that there is a lot of work in a man over 40. Mr. Schwinge announced at the meeting that he has received requests from numerous business men to provide men for positions as chauffeurs, housemen, bookkeepers and clerks. The jobs are to be distributed today at the Prospect branch of the Y. M. C. A. where the meeting was held last night. Miss Ruth Dexter, a lawyer, who has become interested in the movement, announced that she has obtained offices for the organization headed by Schwinge. Neither she nor Schwinge would give the address. Umbrellas and screens against sunshine have been used since the days of the ancient Assyrians and Egyptians, who were first used in England as protection against the rain in the time of Queen Ahnu.

MAIR Business Manager, Negro World Admission Free—All Are Invited Eagle as National Emblem Not Peculiar to U. S. The eagle as a national emblem is not peculiar to the United States. It was the principal device on the standards of ancient Persia and Rome and in one form or other is the national emblem of France, Austria and other modern nations. The principal device on the Great Seal of the United States, which was adopted by Congress in 1782, was a spread eagle the emblem of strength, bearing on its breast an eucalypton or shield with thirteen red and white stripes. In its right taton the eagle holds an olive branch, the symbol of peace, and in its left thirteen arrows, says the Pathfinder. This device was suggested to John Adams when in England by Sir John Prestwich, an eminent British antiquary. It was natural that the device on our Great Seal should become regarded as our national emblem. Elephant Called Champion Fighter of All Animals PHILADELPHIA—The elephant is "fight champion" of the animal kingdom, says C. Emerson Brown, director of the Philadelphia Zoological Gardens. A visitor at the zoo, who viewed the animals from the sporting angle and insisted upon knowing which was "champion," brought forth Brown's expression of opinion. While the gorilla, the lion and the tiger are all dangerous opponents, Mr. Brown says he believes that the ordinary peaceful pachyderm is the most vicious when roused to fighting pitch and that he can "lick any one of them."

DIVISIONS A fair number of members and visiting friends of the New Orleans Division, Universal Negro Improvement Association, gathered at Liberty Hall on Sunday, September 11, to carry on the program of the U. N. I. A. as has been set up for us by our esteemed leader, Marcus Garvey. After the procession of the choir and the official staff the meeting was called to order by the acting president, Mr. E. A. Francis. Opening ode was sung by all; the ritualistic program was conducted by the chaplain, Rev. James Reed. The acting president, in his opening remarks, said that the principles of the U. N. I. A. should be upheld, regardless of disagreements. Reading of the Negro World by Miss Ida Vollison; song, "God Bless Our President," by all. Miss Ida G. Osey, who has just returned from her vacation, told of her visit to the Cradle of Negro Liberty in New York, which was enjoyed by all. Selection by the choir; membership appeal by Mr. S.

Mrs. J. A. McCoy addressed the members, after which the national anthem, "Ethiopia," was sung; bonedion by the chaplain. The Universal African Women's Industrial League is delighted to announce a Grand Rosette Party, which will be given on Monday night to help purchase a safe for the office. The New Orleans Universal Negro Improvement Association visited the Downtown Chapter, No. 79, of the U. N. I. A., on Sunday, September 18, and held a special mass meeting in that section. The uniformed ranks displayed their military experience, which will be long remembered by the people. After an enjoyable evening the members and friends returned to Liberty Hall for the usual Sunday night meeting. The meeting was called to order by the acting president, E. A. Franks. The usual opening service was conducted by the chaplain, Rev. James Reed; opening remarks by the acting president; reading of the front page of the Negro World by the third lady president, Miss Ida Vollison; also an additional reading relative to McCray and Garvey; song, "God Bless Our President," by all; address by T.

PROF. M. A. FIGUEROA. Editor El ministro del Exterior de Bélgica, mientras los ilegados estaban excitados por los ataques de las pequeñas naciones de que la Liga está olvidando llenar su misión de mediación política, declaró en medicio de grandes aplusos que el estaba dispuesto a apoyar la adopción de una resolución que contuviera la memorable declaración del extinto socialista francés Jean Jaurés, de que la guerra de agresión es un crimen contra la humanidad La decantada superioridad blanca. El gran poder de la prensa y su aplicación erronea. LA que conclusión debe llegar nuestra raza? Organización, organización y mayor organización basada en la doctrina del garveismo. Abogando por los esfuerzos para llegar a una reducción de armamentos, el orador gritó con voz estentórea: al muñido debe desarmarse, grito que fué acogido por estruendosos帕 Rebuscando la prensa mundial y especialmente los periódicos de la raza blanca, sériamente pensamos que ha venido a ser del yo interno del hombre de esa raza y cual es su esperanza del mas allá, si por casualidad el cree que deba existir ese cielo, es decir, sitio donde tenga que expulgar los errores cometidos, por su decantada superioridad en este planeta. Aludiendo a la acusación de las pequeñas naciones de que el consejo de la Liga estaba desatendiendo a sus deberes políticos, el ministro admitió que seria inquietante que el consejo de la Liga considera solo asuntos de poca importancia, arguyendo, sin embargo, que el consejo no era un superestado que pueda dictar a las naciones soberanas que componen la Liga. Es muy dificil el sobrestimar la importancia y fuerza del Cuarto Estado del, mundo hoy. El editor en su silla giratoria sostiene tanto mando sobre los destinos de sus conciudadanos, en lo que a lo espiritual y social concierna, tal como lo ejercce cualquier potentado oriental, desde su trono despótico imponiendo su voluntad sobre sus subditos, según le dicte el convencionalismo material que se le antoje. Urgio el ministro belga la aprobación de la resolución del delegado holandés al efecto de examinar los principios al arbitraje, la seguridad y el desarme insistiendo en que seria una locura aplazar la consideración de estos grandes problemas, que si no eran hoy realizables lo serían manana. Guiamos nuestra mente al considerar también el alcance y manera por los cuales el editor moldea la opinión pública y da forma a las miras individuales del lector, por mediación de las columnas noticiasas, en vez de formar opinión sensata dentro del espacio editorial, reflejando así sanas teorias y mejores orientaciones para guiar al consenso de opinión. La delegación francesa, presidida por el ministro del Exterior Briand, rehuso hoy confirmar o negar en la asamblea de la Liga la noticia de prensa de Londres-de que Francia seguiría los pasos de la Gran Bretaña y suspenderia sus relaciones diplomáticas con el gobierno ruso. Anadió la delegación que la situación no permitía hacer comentarios al presente y que seria azúcar hacer predicciones de lo que pudiera suceder. La manera como el editor trata las noticias; su juicio al pesar el contexto de las mismas, y la selección de ellas para su publicidad son al decir del New York Times, lo que inconcienteemente ejercce una influencia purificadora o viciante en la mente de los hombres. Muéstresenos, pues, los rotativos de una nación y le direimos in continenti cuantos barcos de guerra se ufana en tener, cuantos policias, cuantos curas, cuantas prisiones, cuantos asilos lunáticos, etc., constituyéndose así los voceros de opinión pública, en verdaderos espejos del poderio de tal o cual nación. La delegación polaca ha presentado un nuevo texto de pacto contra la agresión, en el cual se declara que toda guerra de agresión es y será prohibida. Se produjo excitación cuando el orador de la delegación británica, ministro del Exterior Chamberlain, declaró que no apoyaria la proposición polaca modificada proscribido las guerras de agresión. Arguido que la proposición era una tentativa, distrazada quizas, para revivir el protocolo de Ginebra, que el gabinete británico se negó a aprobar y al cual se negaría si resucitara porque comprendida la creación de nuevas obligaciones para el imperio que su gobierno no estaba dispuesto a responder. Y cuando.damos una mirada el espejo de la America blanca, al de Inglaterra Francia, Alemania, Italia y otras naciones blancas de la tierra, observamos alll un cuadro representativo de un gran poder armado que nos asusta por el peligro que ello lleva consigo, con tendencias de destruir nuestra raza negra. Vemos pasar continuamente ante nuestros ojos las formas de los grotescos gigantes, el Prejuicio y el Odio, la Usura y el Egoismo, todos riendo mefistofelicamente, sin tener conciencia de un Dios y desprovistos de todo sentimiento caritativo. No observamos en el cristal al Hombre de Galilea que not anime; tampoco vemos reflejado en el espejo nada que conforte a la raza que por espacio de cientos de años, trajo la luz de la civilización y dipió las tinieblas que embargaron al mundo. El ministro del Exterior alenían, Her Stresemann, en discursos pronunciado en la asamblea de la Liga, anunció que Alemania firmaria la clausula de arbitraje obligatorio de la Corte Internacional de Justicia. Refirídose a las cuestiones de la seguridad y el desarme, dijo que ambas estaban ligadas, observando que cualquiera nueva guerra lanzaria al mundo en la miseria y la anarquía y que el pueblo aleman habia adoptado definitivamente una política de paz e inteligencia. La raza blanca esta ébria con el poder. "Superioridad Blanca" es su estrella polar, y para mantenerla no omite esfuerzo, no conoce escrupulos. Así siendo ellos los menos usan los medios que tienen a su alcance, para viar y corromper a los mas. La prensa es su mejor arma; arma de reconocida fuerza y poderio. Y se da el caso de que los hombres y las mujeres blancas de hoy dia tienen una obsestion de mando, do el odio, quizas miedo a los hombres y mujeres' de la raza negra, les ciegue en su deseo maldito de insultar y vilipendiar y tener bajo su bota a esta raza pigmentada, que tantos bochornos y sufrimientos recibe. Proclamo, dijo, que el Reich está contra cualquiera guerra de agresión. Durante la sesión de la presente asamble, fijaré la firma del Reich a la clausula del arbitraje obligatorio de la Corte internacional de justicia. Asi leemos en los periódicos de America como sigue: En Wilmot, Arkansas, un matrimonio blanco se despertó al ruido que sintieron en su cuarto; alarmados pidieron auxilio diciendo que el intruso "se parecia a un negro" y la sospecha recayó sobre un individuo de esta raza , de veintitres años de edad, y empleado en la finca de dicho matrimonio. Los ciudadanos blancos de la ciudad cogieron al infeliz mozalbete y le colgaron de un arbol. Otra noticia incertada conspicuamente en otro periódico nos dice: Un policía encontró colgado de un arbol en el Parque Central de la ciudad de Nueva York, a un negro muy bien vestido y mejor conservado. El cadaver fue descolgado y llevado al depósito municipal. Las autoridades y la presna olvidaron todo lo relacionado con este incidente, no obstante reuniendo todas las probalidades de un linchamiento. Podemos reproducir muchos ejemplos de métodos inquisitoriales, dado a luz pública, por la prensa blanca, haciendo apareser al negro como bestia, degenerada, cometiendo despladadamente hechos bochornosos. Y prueba palpante de ellol lo es el asesinato cometido en Nueva Jersey en la persona del Dr. William Lilllandahl, de sesenta y nueve años de edad, en que su esposa Margaret, de cuarenta años de edad, acusa a dos negros de dicha fechoria. No obstante las autoridades de Nueva Jersey, después de cuidadosas investigaciones, se resisten a dar crédito a lo que esta mujer blanca testifica. Ello resulta que dicha señora tomó tres días para reconsiderar su acusación y darse cuenta que sus asaltantes fueron tres enmascarados. Tal es la SUPERIORIDAD BLANCA. Por estos métodos prolonga su existencia. Contra esas armas tenemos que luchar y gracias a Marcus Garvey el negro, del presente se prepara para su defensa. PARIS, Sept. 9—The art world of Europe has been astonished by the exhibit in the salon of the Societe des Artistes Francaise of several samples of decorative art from Dahomey, one of France's north West African colonies. The natives of Dahomey are of pure Negro stock and the statuettes and carvings on display are declared to be untouched by European influence. M. Rouffe, organizer of the exhibit, characterizes the collection as creations which have "retained their traditions of pure native art." By a surprising coincidence there is a striking similarity between these specimens of Dahomey art and only examples of the type of sculpture and painting dubbed "futuristic." When futuristic art that appeared to startle the conservatives in the world of sculpture and painting, it was hailed as durability, revolutionary, ultra-modern, the key feature in radical technique. Yet the speeches on view at 'the French exhibit bear an' extraordinary resemblance to the futurist: samples, except that they seem to possess considerably more virility. One of the most interesting of the statuettes shows the King of Dahomey attended by his parasol bearer. "The Hunter" is a miniature carving depicting the bus of the native blowpile. Both of these are extremely graphic and imaginative, as is the carving of "The Executioner", in which the tribal functionary, with polished blade, is about to decapitate a criminal. "Tilling of the Soll" depicts another phase of life in Dahomey. The collection of African art contains also numerous dance-masks, from Bainn and the Ivory Coast. Before the French occupation Dahomey was an absolute monarchy. There was a standing army estimated at over 15,000, consisting of about 3,000 female warriors, or Amazonas, who were distinguished for superior physique and high skill in the use of weapons. During the reign of the Dahomes King Gle-Gle it is reintained that the general of the Amazonian army was one Gao, idol of the tribes, a woman soldier, whose exploits in warfare with many tribes were celebrated in song and sculpture. It is said that a statue of Gao is in possession of Dr Albert C. Barnes, outstanding champion of the Negro art movement in the United States, whose private collection contains examples of Negro sculpture from various parts of the world. Gao's army was outfitted with trousers, short skirts, belts for ammunition and on short occasions wore a sort of helmet with two small silver horns. General Gao was dressed just like her Amazonas, except that she wore a horse's tail, typical of her rank. The Dahomay Amazons were called Agodefie~"War Women." Originally they were slave women captured from neighboring tribes, selected from among other captives because of their superb physiques. The first group of Amazons was given freedom and appointed a sort of royal guard of King Glo-Gle. Gle-Gle was an economist as well as an organizer. There was a surplus of women in Dahomey because of the constant loss of men through fighting between the tribes. The use of his female bodyguard (who were also, incidentally, members of his royal harem) gave him the idea which resulted eventually in the formation of the female army. When the Amazons were increased in number from scores to hundreds, he began a campaign which eventually got him control of the entire section of Dahomey in which he lived. The women proved themselves to be magnificent fighters. It became a sort of honor to be a member of the Amazons army of Gle-Gle, until finally the body of fighting women numbered 3,000, all carefully trained and well armed with rifles imported from Germany and England, curved Does Not Bump or Ithk the Skin?

Sobre la esclavitud en Africa La presia asociada comunica que millares de esclavos en Sierra Leona (dependencia inglesa en Africa, al norte del Golfo de Guinea, en la costa oeste) a que aqed libertos por la ley. Un despacho, del Daily Mail de Freetown, Sierra Leona, dice que se ha introducido una ordenanza en el Consejo Legislativo hoy proveyendo la liberación de todos los esclavos en la colonia inglesa de Sierra Leona después del dia primero de enero de 1928. Esta cláusula fue aprobada por unanimidad en la reunión de hoy del Consejo Legislativo. Ultimamente se ha venido desarrollando intensa agitación contra la existencia de esclavitud bajo la corona inglesa, y recientemente se han entablado negociaciones entre el cuerpo legislativo en Sierra Leona y el gobierno británico a fin de terminar con la existencia de esclavitud en aquella dependencia inglesa. Se dice que más de doscientos mil esclavos serán libertados cuando la nueva ley entre en vigor después del primero de enero del año entrante. Estadística de crimenes La juventud en realizad se puede decir que está en un periodo flamante si se toma en consideración las cifras que publican los records de la prisión del estado de la Carolina del Norte. Según dichos records, los jóvenes que pasaron los umbrales de la institución durante el año fiscal superaron al número de adultos y así de 635 individuos ingresados en la prisión, 365,6 más eran menores de 26 años de edad y los de 17 años de edad proporcionaron el mayor número de felones. Cincuenta y cuatro de los convictos dieron su edad de 17 años. De los habitantes de la prisión, 53 dieron su edad como de 18 y 19 años y dieron su edad como de 16 años y dos de trece años de edad. Uno de los de trece años fue un niño de la raza que fue acusado de homicidio en tercer grado. El niño se ha convertido en el mensajero de laisión y usa traje uniforme de co.te de sastre. Una gran sorpresa se presentó a los presidióarios recientemente con el encuentro a cuatro rounds entre el niño de la raza y otro jovenzuelo disputándose el campeonato. De los 607 pirioneseros de la carcel del sexo fuerte, 378 eran blancos y 218 eran de colon. Solamente 26 mujeres blancas y 22 de color. El estado de la Caronina del Norte suministró 483 de los convictos, el resto fue suministrado entre 21 estados al frente de los cuelos el de la Carolina del Sur con 58 se distinguira. Ciento cuarenta fueron enviados a la cacerel por robo, mientras que homicidas casuales y premeditados enviaron 62 y 61 respectivamente. Entre otros crimenes figura 37 por hurto; 36 por fraude; 33 asaltos a establecimientos; 32 a casas de vivienda; 28 asalto de caminos; asaltos con intención de matar 19. Los obervos sin oficio fueron los que más abundaron en las ocupaciones registradas, siguiéndoles los agricultores y después los empleados en las fábricas de textiles.

With their help Gle-Gle extended his territory and acquired absolute dominion. For a time he had absolute rights over all property, and even those who inherited from their parents had to pay a tax to the king. In times of peace the Amazon army demobilized, put aside their attire, and went back to their skirts and usual occupations. But they were always ready to take up arms upon call. Gle-Gle reigned thirty-one years in Dahomey and was known not only as a powerful warrior, but also as a patron of the arts. It is interesting to note that the music of Dahomey inspired the modern school of syncopepation as its art scene to have inspired the futuristic school of painting and sculpture. The broken rhythm of modern jazz, halted at first as something new in music, has been a characteristic of Dahomey tribal music for centuries. Similarly, their dancing, in which some of their striking and bizarre dance masks are used, resembles certain types of American jazz dancing which has been popular of late. The Charleston, the black bottom and other dances of the sort have their wider, more savage prototypes in Dahomey, and were done there a great many years before they were ever heard of in America. So if is to be seen that not only in art, but in music and dancing that Dahomey negroes have been pioneers. French Adventists Predict Christ's Second Coming PARIS.-The end of the world has been predicted once more, this time by the Seventh Day Adventists of the North of France, who met here for their annual congress. According to the signs on which the prophecy is based, the second coming of Christ will take place within a few months. "Cyclones, earthquakes, volcanic activity, meteors, political perturbations, all of which were foretold by the prophets of old, signify that the end of the material universe is in sight," said Maurice Tieche, one of the apostles of the Adventist creed. "Christ will appear, surrounded by the angels, in the midst of a cloud, as predicted in the Apocalypse. The just will be taken to paradise, where they will live 1,000 years. Then they will come back to a reconstituted world and live here eternally happy. "Those who are not counted among the just will perish. We are doing everything to diminish the number of those persons. We conduct missions all over the earth. Our doctrine, which was founded in Washington in 1863, now has 250,000 adherents. This number is constantly increasing. The 'expense of the missions is covered by voluntary subscriptions. Baptism by immersion is one of the fundamental tents. We are endeavoring to bring about an era of universal peace. Our textbook is the Bible, which teaches universal love." 0 LUCK All around you there to absoach success. Health, Wealth and Happiness.

As a result of the very severe drought in the bushveld country of the Saba Game Reservoir, on the border of Portuguese East Africa, and in the Komatiport district, there has been an invasion of Swaziland by great hydrs of wildebeest, says the Transvaal correspondent of the Londor Times. These animals, which are estimated to number 15,000, have caused great damage on the property of the Swaziland Ranches, Ltd., and to farmers generally. They are said to have destroyed over thirty-five miles of wire fencing, and are eating up the grass required for cattle. Not only do the wildebeest consume the grass, but they pull it up by the roots, destroying it permanently. They have also brought with them an infectious disease characterized by a running at the nose, and this has been contracted by cattle belonging to farmers with fatal results. Shooting parties have attacked the invaders, but although many have been killed no real impression has been made on the herds, which are a wonderful sight. They can be seen from the motor road running to Komatipoort and under the Lebombo Mountains to Stegir in Swaziland. Koodoo zebra and other large game may also be seen. Six lions which entered Swaziland soon after the arrival of the wildebeest have been located on the Natalia Ranch, and shooting parties are being organized to destroy them. Forty-six inches of rainfall in twenty-four hours is the world record for a rainstorm and was established in July, 1911, at Bagulo, Philippine Islands.

THE PEOPLE'S FORUM Maurus Garvey, Greatest Negro of the Century In the Editor of the Negro World: Since the prospect of the Universal Negro Improvement Association has come to the Negro peoples of the world through the untiring efforts of our great leader, Martus Garvey, our day star is accepted as one in a new direction, our every idea is advanced as one of new growth by those of keen intellect. The conscious members of the U. N. L. A. have a few ideas which they sharply, they are to preserve Garvey's ideals to the extent of their being followed. Following heathen from the heavy' burdens of mental slavery by working unacquainted to establish a government upon the continent of Africa, for Negroes wherever they are domiciled. We feel that to us the first time in the history of Negroes since our demonstration upon the shores of America trust pedagogic inspiration has come, and now by our hands, after centuries of neglect and misunderstanding and fraud, a mighty tabernacle will be built, so that when injustice and the like are meted out to our enemies in the South, we will not lose in ourselves an organized and legally constituted authority, and our oppressors will find themselves faced with stern factors from which they must wrest their necessities to sustain their supposed high position in civilization. How much credit, cannot be given our honored leader, Marcus Garvey, for his undistinguished in the great work that he has planned for us. Just as a dear father prepares for his loved ones he reaches the ultimate when he mends Negroes know and understand that this world as the other fellow—that of building a government on the continent of Africa. We, his followers, have concluded, that a nation or race is either strong or weak, and that it is time and circumstances that make us either. Therefore the organized forces of Garveyism shall not give up the fight. We prize Marcus Garvey on the greatest intellectual force the world has ever known, and reason alone teaches every broad-minded Negro that much. MISS LILLIE & JONES. New Orleans, La.

The letter of Mr. Tawara should give renewed inspiration to all Negro groups to rededicate themselves to the invitable victory of racial emancipation. "Can we not realize that Japan is one powerful nation of the world today and we are united in organization and cohesion. A unanimous vote of thanks and appreciation is due Mr. Tawara for his timely exhortation: "Work hard, boys! 'Watch forward, my friends!'" And his promise to have translated in Japanese the "Philosophy and Opinions of Morse Garvey" is an act that works are inadequate to describe. We can only say that it is our sincere hopes that our future activities will warrant such continuation of good will and manifold interest. In conclusion "All things work together for good." ARTHUR S GRAY Oakland, Cal. To the Editor of The Negro World We have in our race a good many Negroes who believe the whites should always be ahead in every way. Such rubbish ought to be conveyed to the scrap heap. They believe he is the whole cheese. But if they were to notice closely, they would find out that he is only a slice, and a small one at that. He has predominated only on his face and influence through trunkery. What we need is clean-cut men to tell our people the truth and not to hide the truth from the people for their ecoclastical gain. Most of them go around with their egotism, fooling their people, keeping them bowtiehed with sweet talk, in this trying time, when everybody is seeking a place in the gain. They are absolutely afraid to sever the branches that are shading them as long as they can live in luxury and splendor, simply taking the clock of white supremacy and lording it over the people. The question is. Will we know the truth? It can tell you with certainty that for a think would be offensive on the whole if it were told. You can't blame the sheep. It's the shepherd who is to blame. A poor shepherd makes a poor flock. We have been misled by visionless leaders or living under a delusion of deceitful leadership. So far the only man who showed the Negro race his worth or how to attain his place in the world is the Hon. Marous Carvey. May the day soon come when he walks a free man from prolonged confinement and our adversaries be made to flee at his command. This true that time, patience and perseverance accomplish all things. We have had time and patience. As everyone known, it looks as if the Negro's patience is everlasting. What we need now is ambition to persevere, and we will reach our goal in short order. Now, for our safety, let us be enlightened by our other colored brothers. Get the power to strike back when struck, and don't be manless men like Cousin Charlie thinks we are.

His mother-in-law handed the whips to the wife and the latter did the beating breaking three whips over his back as a large crowd chuckled. "Take her off me," Duggins pleaded to the crowd. The crowd only laughed and jeered. "Stay Light in there slater," one of them encouraged her. The flogging took place on a downtown street. The young wife explained the apprehensive crowd that Duggins had been out with a girl in his automobile. He turned out the lights of the car as they passed the Duggins house, but the young wife managed to follow the car. When the car stopped on a downtown street Mrs. Duggins jumped on the running board, slapped the high school gift and sent her home. Then she attended to her husband.
