XXV.—No. 14 NEW YORK, SATURDAY, MAY. 11, 1929 Marcus Garvey Seeks to Inspire Negro to Make His Stand for Recognition and Progress-Love, Fellowship, and Co-Operation Necessary Negroes of the World Must Become Sponsors of Their Future Advancement Must Shape Their Own Destiny-Must Build a Great Nation Which the World Would Have to Respect FELLOWMEN OF THE NEGRO RACE AND FRIENDS: Greeting: Looking over the world as it is today, we find that humanity has reached the point of scientific differential whereby through the proper method and system every group have become sponsors of their own interests, to the exclusion of the interest of others. This attitude in our life, as human beings, sets up the mark to which individually as races, we must climb. To the French all things must be French; to the German all things must be German; to the Italian, all things must be Italian; to the Japanese all things must be Japanese. This is the national outlook racially. We apply the same method. The Loyalty of Tribe To the Asiatic all things are Asiatic; to the European all things are European; to the Anglo-American, all things are Anglo-American. So in keeping with the trend of arrangements of our racial life there is but one thing for the scattered sons and daughters of Africa to do, and that is to see all things from the Negro's point of view. This method is not an unreasonable, or unjust one; because our civilization seems to decide that it is the best way or means of protecting our respective racial life. So it is for us to inspire the Negro peoples of the world to see that all things must be measured from their Measuring Things From Their Own Point of View Should Mean Also a Respect for the Rights of Other Men Should Strive to Build a Nation Founded on Righteousness In Climbing to the Heights, Says President- General, Negroes Must Live Together, Fight Together and Prepare to Die Together if Need Be That Africa Might Be Free interest and their point of view. This does not mean that we must be prejudiced absolutely to the rights and privileges of others; but surely it means that we must always look out for ourselves in determining everything from our economic, social, religious, and general points of view. The Racial View of Life In certain things the different nations of the world are separate even though they belong to the same race; but in things racial they are altogether. Hence, from the racial point of view, what affects the European in France, or in England, affects him in Austria, and Italy, when it suggests a point of difference between European and Asiatic. This demonstration of clannishness is commendable to any race, and while we admire it among the white races of the world we are determined that it shall also be the policy of the black man of the world so that the Negro of Jamaica should have no scruples in being racially one with the Negro of Barbados, Trinidad, British Honduras, British Guiana, and of the United States America, Central and South America, and of our homeland Africa. A. United Race Our determination is that there must be a united race-a race universally together as every race is today. We must be a race willing to work together, live together, fight together, and under the circumstances, to die together. With such an outlook, life is bound to shape itself favourably for the black man as it has shaped itself so splendidly for the white man. Without prejudice between the races, we can grow to be each prosperous and happy in our own sphere: and so it is our pleasure today to inspire the Negroes of the world towards such an objective.

Liberty Hall, Sunday night, May 5.—An interesting meeting was held here tonight on the occasion of the weekly mass meeting of the U. N. I. A., held under the auspices of the Garvey Club. Mr. J. Pettis wielded the gavel, and acted as chairman of the meeting. The meeting began with the singing of the opening ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains," followed by prayer. A concert program was next rendered, to which the Universal Band under Prof. Ulric Hassell and the Choir were the chief contributors. A duet was rendered by. Mrs. B. Thomas and F. Boyce in fine style. Seated on the rostrum were the Hon. E. B. Knox, Mrs. L. McCartney, Mrs. C. Capers and Miss E. Collins as officers who helped to make the evening's programme a huge success. The Units of the Military Department added much to the evening's meeting. The membership of the Monroe Street Division under President Rev. Gerrick paid us a visit, thus showing us their co-operation and support of this great Cause of an Africa redeemed. Mrs. McCurney's Address To the Hon. E. B. Knox, personal representative of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, officers and members. "It is with the greatest pleasure, that we welcome Hon. E. B. Knox tonight, who has been away from us for some time in the interest of Universal Negro Improvement Association. I speak for the friends and members of New York, and we hope that he will implore us with words and food for thought, thus helping to further perpetuate and carry on the work in which we are all engaged. Let us make up our minds that we are going to do the thing that the President General has asked us to do in behalf of the Sixth International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World. I do believe that as active and faithful members we are going to do our big, and play our part in this big game of human affairs. We are waiting with anxious hearts and minds for this great event; for we know that our leader is able to match brains with statesmen of the world. He has the ability of a Lloyd George and a Woodrow Wilson. He is the greatest organizing genius of the age. Let us give him every support, morally, financially and otherwise, and help him to put the program over, for ourselves and for our posterity. Hon. E. B. Knox Speaks. Mr. Chairman, officers and co-workers, indies and gentlemen: It is needless to say that I am glad to great you this evening, and to witness this great assembly in Liberty Hall, the cradle of Liberty.

I have traveled the Pacific Coast and I am glad to report that the enthusiasm for Garveyism is at its highest mark. Everyone is looking forward to the Sixth International Convention; and it matters not what rumors and tricks are played to dampen the success of our program, truth shall rise above it all, and give us the victory. Since the release of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, his activities have awakened a new interest in the breasts of the Negroes of the world, which has convinced them that the Negro is quite capable of undertaking and shaping their destiny. We must think in terms of race, in its development of economics, and in terms of materialism, based upon a fundamental government that must be erected and established in the continent of Africa, our Motherland, which should be strong enough to protect the Negroes of the world, wherever they might find themselves; which will also change the attitude of the other races towards the darker races of the world. It is only by our success in this universal attempt, that the Negro race and the interests of the people will be, in the future, protected the world over. In Los Angeles a huge meeting was staged which was a unique success; also in Oakland, California, which had the largest Negro representation. The U. N. I. A. is endeavoring to correct the inferiority complex which is the greatest obstacle of our race. We are striving to help the black man to see beyond the vale of ignorance. We are striving to erase from the minds of our men and women white psychology. Pictures have been drawn and books written by white explorers and scientists that have created that unconscious impression on the minds of our peoples and children forcing the influence upon the Negro that has caused him to lose faith in all that is black; and thus we find ourselves hating ourselves, and cannot explain why—and even at this time some of our hate ourselves. Through this policy of the oppressors, and our own independent attitude toward ourselves, we have been unconsciously waging wars among ourselves, for the amusement and benefit of the enemy and the exploiters of the race, and even today a large number of us are practicing that very thing and teaching it to our children. As a distinct race of people, we cannot get anywhere with this sentiment. All this has been done to kill and destroy the ambition of the black man. It aims to crush our ambition to aspire to the higher and more glorious things of this life. Liberty and a true freedom have always been the blood contention of all ages, from which will now eventually come the greatest struggle for the survival of the littest. It was because of the realization of this fact that the Universal Negro Improvement Association came boldly upon the scene. We must come together. The spirit which impelled the great leader to make the sacrifice that he is making for the cause of the emancipation of four hundred million oppressed and down-trodden people will remain with us. Now is the time to stand together like one man in the support of this great organization. It must not fall; it is our only hope for the future and our posterity, for it will be through the Universal Negro Improvement Association that we shall be able to rise above this condition of oppression and become a respected people. Black Africa From Cape To Cairo, Is Answering Challenge To Hertzog's White South Africa. Europeans Mistake Loyalty of Native Africans For Fear and Resignation, says South African Race Paper—Due For a Rude Awakening—Africans Can Not and Will Not Be Kept Down calls; Their voices sound through senate halls; In majesty and power. Du-Bois must have felt exactly as we feel when he wrote. "To be a poor man is hard, but to be a poor race in a land of dollars is the very bottom of hardships." The African in South Africa is not only exploited, but he is also suppressed in a way that leaves him a confirmed victim of poverty. He is rapaciously denied equal rights in his own land. All sorts of obstacles are acrimoniously placed in his way. Efforts to earn an honest day's living are rudely discouraged. An African should not trade among his own people, he should go and work for a white master or die of starvation. He has no right to be ambitious. That privilege belongs to the white man alone. When he does go to work for a white man-his pay is usually from 10s to 20s a week. It is considered by Europeans that one pound per week for an African is a wonderfully high wage. He and A his family must live out of it, pay rent out of it, clothes himself and his family out of it, pay doctors' bills and chemists' accounts, church, school accounts, and insurance, policies out of it, this wonderfully high wage of one pound per week. But if the poor African goes to a store, he has to pay the same money per lb. for his sugar as does his master, his meat does not cost him a penny less per lb., his room (if it is only one), is usually from 25s to 30s per month, his tram and bus fares are no cheaper than his master's. Then to cover it all the government buits in and demands one pound from the poor man by way of tax, or, if he can't pay, why! well, then he goes to gaol. The sound argument of "no taxation without representation" is quite alright for the white man, but is absolutely meaningless when it is applied to the case of the Black man. Then, as if the above obstacles are not enough, and to show that the Black man is inferior, he is forced to carry at all times, the degrading document, which the white man carries only in time of martial law, namely, the pass. We are keeping the Black man down in the interests of our future generation, and in the interest of white civilisation, say responsible statesmen of the Union of S. A. The Native Question is the greatest danger to S. A. and the White man, so we must keep the Black man in his place—what rot! Keep the Black man in his place, forsooth! The Black man is the bottom dog today, we admit, but he will be the top dog tomorrow, this is as true as the sun rises in the East, and sets in the West. We cannot and will not be kept down infinitely. The only pity is that by his timorous policy, the white man is staying the progress of this wonderful country. Booker Washington said, "To keep the Black man down you have to be down there yourself," the sooner the White man realises this truth, the better. "But to think that we must agree to be the hewers of wood and dancers of waters, in all our lives in our country is, to say the least, expecting too much. It seems to us that Europeans mistake our loyalty for fear and resignation. No Sir, we have not given up, just as General Hertzog is afraid of being under a "Kafir" State or Republic, so we too, refuse to be under a Dutch, Boer or S. A. White man's Republic, but our refusal is reasonable, for we have already suffered and are still experiencing what it is to be a Black man in a country governed by white colonists. We say though the White man builds obstacles and Colour bars to reach the very heavens, we shall climb over them so long as they are built, in our country Africa. If these obstacles and colour bars are created by Hollanders in Holland against Africans, or by Englishmen in English or by Germans in Germany, we would not say a word. But in Africa, why it is only natural that the millions of Africans will unite and thwart any encroachment on their rights, and bid for complete freedom and equal rights for Africans in Africa, not in a hundred years as Hertzog and his friends seem to think, but right NOW. It is dangerous, disparagement for Hertzog, Smuts, Baldwin or even England so consider that Black men as a whole are unable to manage their own affairs or their own country without the supervision of white men. We make bold to say the Black man is fully competent to run his own country. There are thousands of Africans with intellectual and spiritual endowment that would be enbied by the best White statesmen in S. A. or elsewhere, while others are daily graduating from the world's leading Universities in almost all trades and professions. The degrading policy of creating a problem where no problem exists (for in truth there is no such thing as a Native problem), is only earning for FRIC the White man in S. A. the bitterest indignation of the African in particular, and the scorn of the world in general. If the white man in South Africa is as superior as he makes himself out to be, why in the name of goodness must he resort to mean, artificial measures of blockading the bottom dog, in protecting himself? Why ignorant, and even denounce the sublime advice of Rhodes of "equal rights to every man South of Zambelia?" We learn every day that there can be no equality between White and Black in Africa. Does the White S. African really think we have lost our manhood. to THE NEW YORK TIMES ADOZEN, different things may cause a, headache, but there's just one thing you need ever do to get relief. Bayer Aspirin is an absolute antidote for such pain. Keep it at the office. Have it handy in the home. Those subject to frequent or sudden headaches should carry Bayer Aspirin in the pocket- tin. Until you have used it for headaches, colds, neuralgia, etc. you ve noidea how Bayer Aspirin can help. It means quick, complete relief to millions of men and women who use it every year. And it does not depress the heart. ASPIRIN the extent of acquiring these statutes lying down. Then they are inevitably marginalized. If the supreme White South Africa we say Black Africa from Cape to Catre. We often wonder what the White man would do, if they were to wake up one morning to find they are under the same restriction under which we are suffering. What would Gen. Hertzog say if it were moved in Parliament that no White man could represent other White men there, and that only two Black senators should be appointed to represent the white white race in South Africa. Would he tolerate it, then why should we? Let us understand each other. We think we understand the White man, now let him, too, understand us. In educating the White man about ourselves we cannot do so more eloquently than sing with Dundar: Oh Mother Race! To thee I bring, This pledge of faith unwavering, This Tribute to thy glory, I know the pangs which thou didst feel. feel. When slavery crushed Ahee with its heel With thy dear blood all gory. Sad days were those—ah, sad indeed! But through the land the fruitful seed Of better times was growing. The plant of freedom upward spring, And spread its leaves so fresh and young. Its blooms now are blowing. On every hand in this fair land. Proud Ethiopia's swarthy children stand. Besides their fairer neighbour The forests flee before their stroke, Their hammers ring, their foeges smoke. They stir in honest labour. They tread the fields where honour calls; Their voices sound through senate halls. In majesty and power. Africa Must Be Free To right they cling; the hymn they sing. Up to the skies in beauty ring. And bolder grow each hour. Be proud my race, in mind and soul My name is writ on Glory's scroll In characters of fire. High 'mid the clouds of fame's bright sky Tny banners blazoned folds now fly, And truth shall lift them higher. Thou has the right to noble pride, Whose spotless robes were purified, By blood's severe baptism. Upon thy brow the cross was laid, And labour's painful sweat beads made, A consecrating chrism. No other race, or white or black, When bound as thou wert to the rack, Sooldmeth stooped to grieving; No other race, when free again, Forgot the past and proved them men, So noble in forgiving. Go on and up! Our soul and eyes Shall follow they continuous rige; Our ears shall list thy story, From bards who from they root shall spring. And proudly tune their lyres to sing, Of Ethiopia's Glory. HAMPTON HOLDS INTER CLASS MEET The Hampton track team is practicing diligently for the coming meets which will be held at Hampton on May 11 and Lincoln on May 18. It was with real disappointment that the track team learned of the cancellation of the Howard meet which was to have been held on May 4. From all indications and enquiries from various schools, both high schools and colleges in different sections of the country, the 5th annual track and field meet will have the largest entry list. Many new schools have signified their intention of participating the contest this year for the first time. Schools are far away as Wilmington University, W. Virginia College, Fort Valley, Ga., have signified their intention to have representation teams at the annual track and field meet. Lincoln University, Jefferson City, Missouri will also be represented. Readers, Advertisers, Contributors Please note that all matter for pub- Friday of each week.

Unionist, with his destructive Kafir politics, may triumph at a S. A. P. Congress, but I still have faith enough in the common sense and patriotism of the Afrikander people to feel that the policy of the Unionists will not be the policy of South Africa. I wish, therefore, to make an appeal to the people of South Africa from this platform to give their undivided attention to this great problem; and to give me their support until the time that victory has been gained. The fight will revolve round the preservation of the existence of the white man and his civilization in the South as against the danger which now threatens him because of the lack of civilization. Every son and daughter of South Africa has the right to claim such preservation, and that claim must be satisfied in whatever way it may come to pass.

The presidency of the affiliated institutions was tendered Dr. Hope some days ago by unanimous vote of the trustees, and great satisfaction is felt that he has accepted. For thirty-one years connected with Morehouse College, twenty-three of that time as president of the institution. Dr. Hope has made a record second to inone in the field of Negro education. The college enrollment of Morehouse under his administration has grown from twenty-one to 369, the annual budget has been increased 600 per cent and the college has attained class A rating with the American Medical Association and with the departments of education of Georgia, North Carolina, and other states. Under his administration, Morehouse has sent out ten men who have since become presidents of Negro colleges. Dr. Hope is a graduate of Brown University, from which he holds the degrees of A.

The SPECIAL TO OUR tion among the European community who would feel disposed to grant that claim, "and if we should ever say that we shall grant that claim, then we shall, at the same time have to say, 'Very well, we must take our hat and leave the country.'" And if they want on in the way they were doing, playing up to the native, they would make him believe that if he went on long enough with his agitation he would get what he wanted. The time had come for the white man to make it clear that that position could not be granted. (Hear, hear.) "I have said before." General Hertzog declared, "that the white man must rule in South Africa, and it is useless for us to say that the native's claim shall be granted. I say, 'Never,' but naturally I cannot speak for what the future may bring, but speaking for this generation, and for the next, I can say that the white man in South Africa will never hand over the control of affairs to the native." (Hear, hear.) Realizing the necessity of meeting the demands of the natives in the North, however, he introduced the Bill before the House. That did not mean that he was not prepared to listen to reasonable proposals that might be made, but it must be felt that the position of the white man in South Africa demanded that Parliament should lay it down what the attitude of the white man was to be. honorary degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred upon him by Howard University in 1920, by Bucknell University in 1923, and by McMaster University in 1928. Outside the educational field, also, Dr. Hope has many important connections, being a member of the highest national and international councils of the Y. M. C. A., the national board of the Urban League, and the executive committee of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation. In 1928 she was a delegate to the International Missionary Council which met in Jerusalem, and was one of the conspicuous figures in that gathering.

McCoy's Laboratories, Inc., 62 W. 14th Street, New York City At Liberty HAR, 238 Lakes street, we met at the usual hour: 3:30 p. m. with a very large number present on time. The Chaplain, Bro. R. Rice, opened the meeting with the song, "What A Friend We Have in Jesus" and Scripture reading from Acts, 10th Chapter, by Rev. John Union, a faithful member of our number. A brief, but informative discussion of the Scriptures made by Rev. Union, was an inspiration to all present. A few brief remarks were made by the Chaplain after which he turned the meeting into the hands of the president, who made a short, spicy and instructive address on the duties of Negroes, relentive to their own development. The efforts of our Secretary, Bro. Spencer, who has labored very hard to induce our delinquent members to come to the meeting, was successful in this meeting. We had present with us many who had not put in their presence for many a day. The president was moved to congratulate his efforts, to encourage the progress, to continue to be present, and assist us in putting over a helpful program in the interest of the race. Mrs. Stuart, of the Stuart Art Shop, the only business of its kind in the city, which has for sale, Negro Art and Literature, and a member with us, read the front page message of the Negro World, and placed great emphasis upon it, which will serve to inspire us to greater activity. In her address to the Juveniles, the life of our Division, she gave some very wholesome advice and discussed the fundamental principles which will assure human progress and racial development. It was indeed gratifying to note the progress made by our children in this work. The interest our High School children are showing in the work is why Mrs. Stuart and others were so elated and encouraged to go on. The President led in singing our patriotic song, "If you don't love Marcus Garvey, don't crush, the one that is fighting for you." This brought on a great rally, and enthusiasm ran high. We have no doubt in our mind but that we are going over the top, in our effort to promote our own welfare, and to provide for our own defense. Our Juveniles rendered a very splendid program. We are striving to make of them our strong men and women of tomorrow, and we do not intend to fall short of our aim. Short, timely, and inspiring addresses were made by Attorney A. B. Matthews, Rev. John Union, Mr. Irvin and Mr. Norland. Mr. Morland contributed $1.00 to the work of the Juveniles because of their strenuous effort to succeed. Friends, do not forget to meet us in Jamaica in August, at the greatest convention of Negroes of the world, to be held August 1 to 31, 1929. Our division has selected for its representatives to the convention, our beloved president, Bro. James A. Harris, and our young attorney A. B. Matthews. We are asking your full support and cooperation to assist us in raising finances with which to send them over as men. The Drive is On! You help us? With courage determination, ability and sacrifice, we shall succeed. Can we count on you? Port Limon, C. R. On January, 20 the presidents of the various divisions in Costa Rica met in the Port, Limon Division hall at the invitation of Mr. Teddy Smith and his cabinet to discuss ways and means by which they could bring about better relationship among the Negroes domiciled in this country, and to form themselves into a conference to be convened every three months, to discuss and carry out matters pertaining to the future development of those who are in strict accordance with the movement. Mr. T. A. Smith, president of the Port Limon Division, presided at the meeting while Mr. C. Constanter Cornwall acted as registrar. There was a large number of presidents and representatives, as also members, and friends who came to witness the formation of the conference. At 10:30 p.m. the meeting was called to order with prayer and ritualistic readings, after which the chairman outlined the nature of the meeting. The program was read and the items dealt with forcibly. Program: 1. Better relationship among divisions. 2. Ways and means to foster industrial schemes for the good of our people. 3. By-laws to suit local conditions. 4. To select delegates to our sixth international convention. After a long debate it was unanimously agreed that the conference be formed to be called in session every three months. It was a grim determination on the part of the presidents and members to carry out a proposal which is to work to the Rice River. Mr. Z. Puarquichon, president of the Madre-de-Dio Division, and Mr. A. L. Stewart of the Sequarra Division, were elected chairman and vice-chairman, respectively. Mr. J. Joseph, president Pacuartio Division, and Mr. J. Barnes, Guacimo Division, were elected secretary and assistant secretary, respectively; Mrs. G. McPherson, indy, president; Limon Division, treasurer, and Mr. C. Ornstein, Liverpool Division, assistant treasurer, as also board of committee of industry. The members of the various divi- steps are in thorough accord with the conference. After a thorough day's work the meeting adjourned at 8:15 p. m. to resume the work on February 24. The conference meet in session on the date mentioned to arrange for important matters such as to make plans to secure delegates to convention. Mr. Z. Farquharson, presided.

Johnson, Scotchwell, D. Wynter and Mrs. C. McPherson. Minutes of last meeting were read and confirmed. Reading of communication. The matter of delegation was then brought up and after a long period of discussion it proceed with the nomination and that two delegates be sent from Costa Rica. At this junction the conference adjourned. On resuming a motion was taken to carry out the nomination of candidates and that two nominees be made from which two will be chosen. Nomination: Messrs. T. A. Smith, president. Limon Division; A. L. Stewart, president Sequirres Division; J. Joseph, president Pacuartio Division; M. N. Brown, of Liverpool Division; N. Wellington, of Madre-de-Dios Division. The conference then proceeded in the interest of the delegation. We take care to report that we in this field are determined to carry out our aims and objects irrespectible of obstacles. We are looking for big United States of America. Please be strong. C.

The meeting was well attended, we have with us two visiting friends, officers from the Baptist church in the person of Mr. A. Reid and Mr. Cyrus, whose presence added much to the meeting. The meeting was called to order by the president, Mr. Joelyn Barnes, with the opening adc "From Greenland's Ice Mountain." The ritualistic service was concluded by the chaplain, Mr. W. Wallace.

Several addresses followed. The secretary made the closing remarks and the meeting brought to a close with the Ethiopian National Anthem, and the Doxology. Sunday, April 28th, 2016, at 3:30 p.m., marked a new epoch in the future of our Division here in Omaha, as every one was present on time, and showed a spirit of enthusiasm never before manifested during our long siege and struggle for a hearing in this great city. The Acting Chapplain, Bro. Hudson, opened the meeting by singing one of our beloved National. Anthems, followed with prayer by Rev. John Union. Several inspiring anthems were sung to revive the spirits of those present. The president made the opening remarks, which set things to moving, as he is a live wire you know, and does not miss words. He urgently requested each member to keep up with our mid-week meetings held every Tuesday and Thursday evening for the purpose of reorganizing ourselves, and to become better acquainted with each other, in order that we may be able to work together successfully in the coming campaign for funds to send our delegates to the convention. A very favorable impression has been made, and we have the assurance that every member is going to do their bit in putting over this great program. After the appeal of the president, Attorney Cole, a practicing attorney of our city, was introduced, and made a very splendid lecture indeed and stressed, the point that there were three things necessary for the Negro to possess in order to be a success in any line of endeavor; diligent study; untiming energy, and good moral character. These cardinal virtues when practiced, will make any race or nation a success. He urged upon us to not tire so quickly, but continue in the way; keep God, in front, and organize to fight our own battles, with God as our leader, and with Hon. Marcus Garvey, one sent of God to lend us to the light, as our guide. He assured of houghtful success. Mr. Celeo spoke with power, with authority, his eloquence and oratory shall not be forgotten very soon. Mr. Colquitt, a grocer dealer of our city, was also present in meeting, made a short address and gave much encouragement to the juveniles. In his remarks he stated that the future of the race largely de- pound upon how we train your youth, Briet, but they remember, were made our Spokestan, Attorney A. A. Matthews, who generally grow up the easy job doing things, and not make so much noise about it. Rev. John Union made a few remarks. The body president, Mrs. Miller, lead the aims and objects of the organization for the benefit of those who were not members. We were invited to the Mt. Morish Baptist Church; one of the leading churches of the pity, to take a part on the Young People's program at 6:30 p. m. A representative number of our members were present. The president, Bro. Harris was the principal speaker, We are advancing step by step, and we intend to accomplish the task set before us, and we are stopping no shorter than a successful program being put over in the interest of the race. We intend to do our bit in Nebraska. Our good brother Dickson is back again with us and made a very concise and instructive talk to us, after going North to have his eyes treated. We are always proud to have, him with us, as he is a very good counsellor, and is always present. Sister Stewart, is on the sick list this week, and every member is asked to visit her, and contribute to her relief as much as possible. We know our duty, let us perform it. Do not fail to meet us in Kingston, Jamaica, B. W. I., August 1, 1929. We must meet our friend, Brother and Honorable Leader, Marcus Garvey on this date. If you love yourself, your race and your God you will blend every effort possible to send your representative to this great convention. We know no failure. Atlanta Div. 623, U. N. I. A., held a mass meeting, Sunday, April the 28th. Devotional service was conducted by Rev. Wm. Matk. Sunday was a gloomy day due to the heavy rainfall. After the religious service the program was very brief as follows: Front page message of the Negro World was read by Mrs. Lella Brown. The reading was commented on by our president, who brought to our minds many thoughts from the message that came from our leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey. A brief address by our financial secretary followed. We lifted a liberal collection and the meeting was closed in the usual manner by singing the Ethiopian National Anthem. Sunday Night, April 28th, 1929 The Hon. Rev. J. H. Lockett and the general secretary of Atlanta division were the guests of Springfield Baptist Church, Sunday night, where they spoke on Garveyism, and they received a cordial invitation to come over and render a program of the U. N. I. A. on Sunday, May the 5th, at which time we hope to convert the members of our Race at Springfield Baptist Church and establish the principles of Garveyism. We are with you, till "Africa is Division reporters should study the style of the report from the Savannah, Georgian Division. This report was written by the secretary, Miss Lille Mue Golden. This is a model of excellence—clean, precise and concise. We must, congratulate Miss Golden for this glendid performance of her task, and hope that the same measure of efficiency and success may stamp all her future undertakings, great and small. It also the character revealed here, in the careful, faithful performance of duty which tells us that one day "Africa Must Be Free." THE EDITOR. There was a gallant retreat paid by the deceased president, Mr. J. Minguson Brown, on Sunday, April 14, of Liberty Hall - 117 A. m. a committee directed by Messrs. Galliano, accompanied by Messrs. Tennison, Baskin, Trought, Tolke, Master Wills and Messrs. Sylvester, Baskin, Thomas, Binsel, Huntley and Mrs. U. J. Brown visited the Colton cemetery where a wreath was placed on the grave and the memorial ceremonies were conducted by President Tenayon. At 8 p. m. Liberty, Hall was the scene of attraction. The specious hall was packed to utmost capacity, until standing room was hardly available. We also had with us as distinguished visitors nine officers and members from the Mariana Division No. 593, and the Hon. W. W. Tennyson, president of the Guanabacab Division, who presided and helped to make the meeting a success. A procession of the executive officers was formed, led by the Black Cross nurses in command of the lady president, Mrs. M. Daleley, with singing of the hymn, "Neaker My God to Thee," while sweet music was rendered from the piano by Mrs. M. Gordon. The officers and Black Cross nurses then took their respective places. Prayers were offered and Psalm 29 was read, followed by hymn No. 138, "My God My Father While I Stray." The chairman addressed the oneline on the "Life Work of Mr. Brown," and showed that the deceased had served two years and eight months as honorable president and died at his post, with the regret of each and every member, and encouraged the members to stand by the side of Mrs. Brown as her strength and shield. The one that was taken away was of great service to his race until death. Hymn, "When Our Heads Are Bowed in Cold," was sung, and the Hitherter part of the program was turned over to Sir Ragello Guilindo, president of the division. With much enthusiasm he spoke in English and Spanish on the significance of the occasion. The Negro World was read by the executive secretary, M. A. Rennie, and in Spanish by the president. Mrs. U. J. Brown thanked the congregation for their loyalty to the brother and the cause of the association, reminding that unity is strength. Hymn No. 121, "Jesus, Lover of My Soul," was sung and the offering was lifted. And address was delivered by Mrs. M. Dulley, lady president, Miss Mercedes Williams (nine years old), recited "My Flag," Miss E. Stokes, lady secretary and special representative of Marianne Division, made a splendid address, which was well enjoyed by all present. A beautiful trio was rendered by Miss I. Crooks and others, "The Lord Is Good." Address by little Miss Louise Austin. She kept her audience spell-bound as she discussed on the subject, "Make Tomorrow a Better Day," and said in closing: "I know that I am a little girl but my advice is good." Solo, Miss Lizie Luts; address by second vice-president, M. Perrywhan, who referred to Mr. J. M. Brown that, like Sr Robert Lincoln Poston, he died at his post for his race; recitation and address by Miss L. Palma, first lady vice-president, Mariano; Division; duet by Miss Stokes and Perryman, "Roses of Life"; address, Mr. D. Blair, "I Am Doing My Best"; solo, Miss I. Crooks, "Dark Below But High Above"; recitation in Spanish by Mr. M. A. Rennie, "Adelante, Ethiopia, apresures a la victoria"; address by Miss Blanch Thomas; solo, Miss H. Sylvester. The closing remarks are made by the presiding officer, in which he complimented the audience most heartily for its presence and support. Much credit must be given to the Black Cross nurses and the representatives of the two sister divisions. We hope that they may continue to help blaze the way for African redeemed." MICHAEL A. RENNIE, Reporter. Sunday, April 21; was a great day with Jacksonville Branch of the U. N. I. A. It was Women's Day. They rendered a great program. The meeting was opened at the usual hour, by singing the opening ode, with the President, Mr. A. Raynold in the chair. Prayer and ritual service by the Creationist Mr. Edith and the president, made the opening remarks, after which the meeting was turned over in the hands of the Mistress of Ceremonies, Mrs. Green. The program is as follows: Welcome address, by Mrs. M. Jackson; reading, by Master L. M. Dennis; song, by the juveniles, "Great Marcus Garvey Never Did a Wrong"; recitation by Master F. V. Dennis; the front page of the Negro World, by the Chanplain; solos by Mrs. J. L. Jones; short address by Chairman of the Trustees Board, Mr. A. G. Jackson. He called upon the members to reply to the cause in faith. Singing by James Dennis; song by the Juveniles; after which the Rev. Dr. Abner spots very briefly on our coming convention, and called to Negroes of Jacksonville to hear the voice of our Moses, the Her God and the world in the face; and we hear the alarmist in the盗盗ious propaganda camp take voice and say "The Negro Faces America," "The Negro Faces the World" and we hear a Hertzog saying "White Men Must Rule South America." We can also hear the answering cry of the African at home, as expressed by the Abantu Batho, "If Hertzog says white South Africa, then we also say Black Africa, from Cape to Cairo." Honest minded men the wide world over must be willing to concede the honor for this great, wonderful, far-reaching, and revolutionary awakening to Marcus Garvey, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League. No longer does the Negro bend his back to tribute. No longer does he hide his face from men, nor from the God of his fathers. The Negro has come to realize that there has been great plotting and planning to keep him in his place; but the veil has been lifted; and we can see the flash of fire in the Negro's eyes. We see his proud breast heave, and we hear again the battle-cry of the men of Tyre, of Carthage, and of Ethiopia, as they echo forth the cry, "The Negro Must Be Free." You can't keep down an awakened race, no more than you can keep a good man down. When a man wills to rise, and sticks to that determination, if he will not allow anybody or anything to swerve him from his purpose, he will eventually reach his goal. If this is possible therefore with one earnest soul, then much more possible with a race four hundred million strong. There is no power on earth that can eventually keep the black man down if he wills to rise, and to secure for himself and his posterity a place of honour among the sons of men. And he wills to rise; and is thinking and planning for the future, a future that holds great things in store, a future so great and so potent with great happenings that God alone can prophecy. The thinking machinery of the Black man has been set in motion, and there is nothing to turn back the course of the forward advance of the thoughts of the Negro but the end of Time, and the crash of worlds. Negroes, open your eyes, and behold, the promises of God blazoned in the skies above you. Hear the voice of Inspiration saying in loud and thunderous tones, "The Negro Must Be Free," and "Africa must be redeemed." Cast your fear to all the winds of earth, and hear the call of the century to the manhood of your race. Turn again and face the duties of this glorious day of grace; for the race is marching on. Tell to all creation that the appointed time has come. That you hear the Gods calling as they beckon you "come home." March with heart undaunted to the victory, or to death, for the race is marching on. Rouse your brave souls from the slumber of the century that's past. Tell to man the Slavery that has passed you is the very, very last. Throw your forces in the fight for the triumph against the wrong. For the race is marching on. Think in clear, and living measures for a glory yet to come. Think of Africa the land of Justice; the land that we call home. Carve out in your thinking an empire like the world has never seen. Then bring your dreams to full fruition with great efforts, such as never have been seen. For the race is marching on. Some day, when the Negro has crystallized his thinking and has brought his dream to pass, the men of all creation will be bound to respect him; and he shall sing his songs of victory in the homeland of the free. He shall tell to all creation that his spirit's born of God. He shall show anew to mortal how to live, and win God's love. He shall talk to humans that the world is his alike with others of the sons of men. And then there will be no denying to the Negro the place that rightfully is his; for he shall have carved out his own destiny, and have earned the respect and admiration of everyone. The honour and the glory that shall come to a race that has begun to think in such terms as man never thought before, will resound to the farthest bounds of earth. Men everywhere will be bound to respect the success of the greatest revolution, and the noblest revolution that the world has seev known. They will understand us better. We shall know as we are known, because of the success of the world's greatest revolution.

VOL XXV. NEW YORK, SATURDAY, MAY 11, 1929. No. 14 THE WORLD'S GREATEST REVOLUTION INTELLIGENT, thinking men everywhere will concede the fact the opening days of the Twentieth Century have seen more startling, more revolutionary changes than have ever been witnessed in any century past, even since Jehovah said "Let there be light." We woke up one morning to find that the North Pole no longer held its hidden mysteries secure, for had not Ampundsen flown over it, and the mortal eyes of that intrepid Norseman and his crew had seen all there was to see? Then along came Commander Richard Byrd, and flew the first airplane over the forbidden region of ice and (?), which had baffled the exploration crews of several expeditions; and had quined many a good ship. A lone flier came into New York one day from out the golden west, and announced his intention to fly to Europe in his plane, the "Spirit of St. Louis." Seasoned, experienced airman shook their heads; but hardly could realize what the young man meant, when he told of his intention to sally forth on so perilous a journey, without what they thought to be the necessary period of preparation at the starting point here. But one morning as they roused themselves from slumber the newspapers of the day were telling them that Lindbergh had hopped off, even before the veteran Byrd, who was still calculating with mathematical exacties the last fraction of weight, and strain and energy which would have to be assured to make a successful flight; and had sallied forth to what was then considered to be the craziest journey that man had ever undertaken; and along. But evening told a different tale; and the news came across the wires from Paris, France, telling of the safe arrival of the "Flying Fool" as some men had dubbed him in their consternation. Then Chamberlain and Levine made the trip to Germany in their plane the Columbia; and Commander Byrd, the scientific, with his three companions, crossed over to the coast of France in the "America" and crashed into a storm, which brought disaster to the "America" in the hour of victory. We have seen airplanes spanning the great expanse of waters from various points in Europe to the South American mainland. We see American Army officers in a record-breaking world-girdling flight, in army airplanes. We saw four daring flights essaying forth to conquer the long reach of waters between California and the Antipodes. We saw two Zeppelin flights across the Atlantic, from east to west, and then along cane the linking of the Trans-Atlantic telephone lanes, and one day a voice in New York saying "hello" was heard, by the postal authorities in London, England. Behind them all comes the radiophotography, which flashes before you the picture of the man speaking to you at the other end of the wire. And the mind of man seems stunned, and we wonder "What next?" But mighty and revolutionary as these various events have seemed, we are today calling attention to a greater, and more far-reaching revolution than any of those which have hereforebeen mentioned; a revolution in time to come will change the character of this world's association of nations more than anything that has gone before. The unemployment situation is a fact. Saying that it does not exist will help nobody. Talking about hard times will avail us nothing. Get a job and work hard to keep it. That is the important thing in the present crisis. Any kind of a job is better than a job at all. This does not mean looking for a perfect kind of a job and at the same time hoping you will not find it. History tells of revolutions, bloody like the "Wars of the Roses" in England; the French Revolution, the American Revolution, and the Red Rebellion in Russia. It tells also of bloodless revolutions, such as Madero's coup-de-tat in Mexico, and the overthrow of the Díaz regime; Tinoco's coup in Costa Rica, C. A., some years ago, the Panama secession in 1903, and the overthrow of the German Empire in 1919. Unemployment hits colored people hardest. "That is a fact," Theoretical discussion of positions they ought to have is mighty fine, but the essential element in the proposition is for those who have jobs to render efficient service. Nobody is going to give work to Negroes because they are Negroes. The chances are they will not give them work, because they are Negroes. All this second group of charges were political affairs, pure and simple; and they had a great deal of influence upon the countries where they took place. But the revolution of which we speak today is greater, and more far-reaching than any of these, as we mentioned before. In this revolution we are dealing with so gigantic a chance that the mind of mortal men can hardly fathom. Nobody sweeps to power through a sea of blood, and over rows of mutilated bodies, and through broken oaths and curses. In this great and revolutionary change nobody has betrayed his trust. There is no sudden turning of a trusted minister upon a chieftain who contended in him as did Francisco Madero in Mexico City. No treaty is broken; but because of it treaties will be made. No traitor is short; because by this change men are and will continue to be inspired. No despot is dethroned except an abstract and intangible one; in short nobody loses a throne or a place of honor. On the contrary, because of this change many men will move up to place and power, and perhaps some thrones, some rules may appear. Machinery is eliminating purely physical labor from modern industry. Machines are doing everything except thinking. Take brain power out of the equation and a machine will do more work and cheaper than a man. Therefore, if men expect to get work they must bring more to the job than simply mechanical force. Methods in production and distribution are changing. What are Negroes doing to meet these changed conditions? Modern business is pitched in a high tempo. Mass production, organized resources and combined selling are present day business methods. The individual who thinks the quickest wins the prize. Years ago an inspired, and gifted in mortal, Ella Wheeler Wilcox sang, "Our thoughts are shaping immade spheres; and like a blessing or a curse; They tiltunder down the formless years; and ring throughout the Universe. If, and it is true that thought rules the universe, indeed called it into being, and shapes the destinies of men and things, then there can be no greater revolution, no matter in what age it occurred, or under whose direction it took place, than the revolutionary force which changes the thought force of a nation. And if the changing of the thought force of a nation is a greater revolution than any which is bathed an blood and stained with murder and rapine, then how much more greater and far-reaching must not the revolution be which changes the trend of the thoughts of an entire race of people, whose numbers form nearly one third of the adal population of their inhabitants of the earth on which we live, and move and have our being. We call the attention of all mankind to the world's greatest revolution, the revolution of Negro thought. The old order changeng and rapidly. What was sufficient and worthwhile six months ago is old fashioned and these changes changing conditions require the same change in the meantime work faithfully to keep the job you have. We have seen in the papers more than once a statement that the students of Lincoln University do not want Negro teachers. We hope this is not true. In fact, we can badly believe that there are any Negro students old enough and far enough advanced intellectually to go to College who would vote against having men of their own race to teach them. We should not long time that it would add to the efficiency of Lincoln University a great deal if it had on its faculty some outstanding Negro scholars. Of Many and subtle forces were at work heftetofore, to keep the Negro in his place. Those who would master him kfew the science of the control by a mastery of the mind; and the crazy overlord of creation, spread far and wide and taught to men the doctrine of Negro inferlority, and of white supremacy, in all things. That this insidious propaganda had its effects upon the mind of the Negro everyone must acknowledge. Its effects are still evident in certain quarters, among some of our people. But a new day has dawned. There has come to light a new realization; and the erstwhile worm of the dust is no longer grooving in the dust, but has developed a backbone, and has begun to look course, we do not stand for inferior scholarship. Because a man is a Negro is no reason why he should be employed unless he is thoroughly equipped. Of course, there is the other reason that the demand for thoroughly equipped Negroes is so great today that the inducement which Lincoln University would hold out would have to be very enticing for a Negro to go. However, we hope that the time is not far distant when we shall have Negroes upon the faculty of this famous institution. The Negro to the Front (The East Tennessee News) Again it is the Negro soldier who is first to pare his breast in defense of his country and first to receive a wound from the enemy who would encroach on the territory of the United States. The rebel forces seeking to overthrow the Mexican government have committed outrages, against American lives and property on the Texas border. Members of the Tenth United States Cavalry, brave Negro fighting unit, were the first sent there to protect our rights. The Mexican rebels fired upon them and one of the black boys received a bullet wound in his chest that may cause his death. The history of our country will show that the Negro soldier has been the first called upon to shoulder arms and go to the front in every war that the United States has engaged in. It was during the Spanish-American War that this same Tenth Cavalry, by reason of their bravery, saved the day for the States. It was also this famous fighting unit that invaded Carriacal and drove Villa to the cactus bushes, not, however, without suffering the loss of several of their men and the wounding of others. And now it is that the Negro soldier is the first to feel the ring of hot lead as he is sent to drive the enemy from our borders and protect his fellow countrymen. The Sons of Fathers (Orange World) The Negro in Chicago still is in the throes of economic strife. The unemployment situation gets no better and men and women are running from pillars to pest trying to find refuge. While the widespread dismissal of employed employees from institutions directed by white interests has already ceased and the opening of two new stores in the South Center district has put a number of individuals to work, yet noticeable relief is not generally felt. There closed Sunday night, April 21, at Fisk University in Nashville a musical event even for a musical history like that of Fisk'a. All of the musical organizations of the college were together on the campus for a three day festival of music and fine arts. The Fisk Jubilee Singers, the concert organization just home from Europe and now on tour through the festivals, were the honored guests of the Concert Society, Men's Glee Club and Women's Glee Club. They all joined forces for a concert of Spirituals and work songs on Friday, April 19, in order to begin the festival as Fisk music historically began. As the festival progressed other musical forms were added until at the Mozart Society concert Sunday afternoon the students were singing with rare musical intelligence and artistry Bach, Chorales, Palestrina's Exultate Deo, Twelfth Century church music, Russian songs and Norwegian folk melodies. One had the feeling that Fish's music school is keeping all that is finest. in the best and reaching, out to all that is best in the future. The director of the Music-School was ill so that the Jubilee Concert was directed by Prof. John W. Work, who directs the Men's Glee Club, the Mozart Society by Miss Ruth E. Shappell who directs the Women's Glee Club and the concert quartette was directed as usual by Mrs. James A. Myers. Throughout the festival sixty four pictures were exhibited in Jubilee Hall under the Foundation of the Vision Foundation and the Commission on the Church and Race Relations of the Federal Council of Churches. Hundreds of Nashville citizens and friends of Fisk from far and near attended the concerts and saw the pictures. The board of trustees held an important meeting on Saturday. There were present from out of the city Paul D. Cravath and L. Hollingsworth Wood of New York City, Dr. H. H. Proctor of Brooklyn, Dr. William N. DeBerry of Springfield, Massachusetts, Rev. Ferdinand Q. Blanchard of Vernon and Mrs. W.J. Grochwalthe of Vernon, Mrs. Arch Trawick, Dr. F. A. Stewart, Vernon Tupper, Lec J. Loeental, Dan E. McGugin and Presi t Thomas Elsas Jones, all of Nashville, were in attendance. The pleasantest duty of the board was to accept formally grants from the Rosenwald Fund and the General Education Board totalling $250,000. This is in addition to the $400,000 recently granted by the General Education Board for a library and its endowment. The Rosenwald Fund has appropriated $00,000 for current expenses, $25,000 to be paid this year and other sums decreasing annually until the whole is paid. The General Education Board granted $125,000 for teachers' salaries, payable in five annual installments, and $25,000 for equipment and books, payable in ten annual installments. President Jones was also able to tell the board that the estate of James Dallas, Burrus, alumnus of Fisk who left his catrie fortune to his alma mater, will not the university, $120,000 instead of $100,000 as expected. The board voted to spend $3000 this summer on campus, trees and shrubs, $7700 on a two family faculty house, $6000 on repairs to four faculty houses and $10,000 for the building and equipping of a student union. They voted to change the ending of the fiscal year from August thirty-first to June thirty. Fisk will close its fiscal year June 30, 1920, without a deficit and with all bills paid. At a meeting of the board of trustees of Fisk University held at Nashville on Saturday, April 20, Dr. George E. Haynes of New York City was proclaimed the new trustee elected by the alumni to succeed Dr. Hugh H. Proctor of Brooklyn, New York, elected two years ago. Dr. Proctor graduated from Fisk in 1891, took his degree of bachelor of divinity from Yale in 1894 and had the honorary degree of doctor of divinity conferred upon him by Clark University in 1904. He has for many years been pastor of the Nazarene Congregational Church in Brooklyn. Dr. George E. Haynes is well known as a race leader the country over. He is secretary of the commission on race-relations of the Federal Council of Churches. A member of the Fisk-graduating class of 1903, he received his master of arts degree from Yale in 1904, graduated from the New York school of social work in 1010 and became a doctor of philosophy of Columbia in 1912. The other alumni trustees are Dr. F. A. Stewart of Nashville, Dr. William N. Dearby of Springfield, Massachusetts and Mrs. M. L. Crosthwaite of Detroit. Searching out the facts underlying the status of the Negro in the United States is not a pleasant job. It is like auditing the accounts of a struggling business hardly able to make both ends meet. Yet no corporation that hopes for ultimate profits turns its back upon an accounting because of the disheartening facts that may be disclosed. In this sense, the conference at Durham is commendable. Even though its accomplishments may not be great and far-reaching, there is courage in its leaders and wisdom in their willingness to continue to finance this annual audit of the Negro's program. It is possible that out of Durham, M. C., which is an example of the Negro's ability to succeed through competition in business, may come the program by which the black man can curb his abilities into success. HAMPTON INSTITUTE, April 30 —That the most important social question agitating the minds of the American people today is that of prohibition, and that the teacher, committed to the moral instruction of the young, is a vital Factor in bringing about the observance of the laws of the community, including the Eighteenth Amendment, was the theme of an address delivered in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute, by Dean Kelly Miller of Howard University, before 600 teachers and administrative officers of the second district of the Virginia State Teachers Association. "We sometimes complain about the statements of the South," declared Dean Miller, "but that one great moral reform, the Eighteenth Amendment, owes as much to the South as to any other section of the country. In certain situations; local prohibition was used to cope with the danger of race riots breaking out. I think these riots stopped just about the time prohibition came in. I am not claiming it was the sole cause for their cessation, but it was a big factor." "We have also," he said, "a rapid decline in the record of lynching, synchronizing almost with the Eighteenth Amendment. The Negro migration to the cities of the South a dime of adjustment, a dime of adjustment, occurred with comparative lack of friction. This was due very largely to the absence of the saloon. The Negro has acquired more homes, especially in the cities, since the passage of that amendment: He is now acquiring - homes and property in a measure beyond anything before." It is a part of the work of the teacher, he asserted, to see to it that we have a generation that has not acquired the habit of strong drink. If the Negro joins with the lawless element to overthrow the Eighteenth Amendment, it would, he said, be inconsistent to appeal to the conscience of the country to uphold the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, which are for the Negro's special benefit. The several musical numbers of the program, which included selections by the Hampton Choir and Club, consisted of Dr. R. Nathaniel Dell; the prelude by Mr. Earns Hays, teacher of the Hampton-School of Music, and the solos by two students of the School of Muscle, Mr. Rudolph E. Charlton and Mr. Wallace J. Campbell, added much to the enrichment of the program. Mr. L. F. Palmer, of Newport News, president of the conference, called upon Rev. T. J. Johnson, principal of the new Suffolk, Va., high school, to open the assembly with prayer. Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, welcomed the guests in behalife of the school and expressed the wish that the conference again return to the school. Miss Jessie Wyche, of the Union High School, Hampton, gave a welcoming address from the Elizabeth City County Teachers' Association, to which Chairman Palmer replied, expressing appreciation of Hampton's hospitality. (Weekly by Illustrated Feature Section) Oppose Newspapers' Use of Negro HAVANA, Cuba, April 22.—Use of the term "Negro" or "black" in newspapers designating the race of individuals would be forbidden if a bill now pending before the Cuban legislature passes. Representative M. G. Mandoza points out the Cuban constitution provides equal rights for all citizens without distinction of color and that it is offensive to mention the race of any persons in news stories. Ruled by N. Y. State Dept. of Education ALBANY, N. Y. - Race recognition gained a step in 'New York State when the State Education Department ruled that henceforth the word "Negro" must be spelled with a capital "N" in the schools of the State. This announcement came as the result of a long fight on the part of prominent persons to have the word capitalized. Homely Philosophy CONQUERING ONE'S SELF. To conquer others is an achievement, but to conquer one's self is a greater one. It takes far more physical force to hold one's self in line, to subdue the clamoring of inclination and habit; we usually let go, abdicate, lose command! The best test of a man's pettle is the manner in which he rules himself, — "Greater is he who conquereth himself, than he who taketh a city." The Gospel of Springtime (The St. Luke Herald) There are sermons in stones, they tell us, and hymns in running brooks. There is also a wonderful message in this season of the year. The call of the wild is everywhere. Students wander from the bondage of their books. Their minds are instilled upon the storage spell of springtime. They hear the call of the bird is the torrent. They see the mating of beasts and fowls. They feed the songs of breeds and birds that drift through the new-born leaves and blooms of flowers and forests. FOREIGN AFFAIRS BY ARDEN BRYAN. Africa Seething With Discontent North Africa, that rich and enchanting land, where the gods loved to dwell, where the ebony-hued and sun-kissed descendants of Hammal and the fathees laugh and play, dance and play, tell stories, fight, to hold, preserve, and maintain our numbers, our customs, and our traditional civilization against the brute battering onslaughts and unwanted encroachments of a so-called civilized and murderous rate, is seething with discontent. Be not surprised if at any time in the near future our North African kinsmen, the heirs and descendants of *Atlas*, son of *Epetes*, the god of mountains and of strength, bend themselves to the will of an *Atlas*, reincarnated into the form of an African librator and, instead of bearing the whiteness of his burden, they successfully force him to carry his own bag and baggage back to Europe. North Africa's unrest and discontent can be traced to the doors of the European consortium of robbers who, from time to time, act as one, even with the aid of democratic North America, to rob, seize, murder and plunder African lands, and to assign spheres of influence among themselves, regardless of moral and humane rights, which they (the whites) boast so much about. Now they profess to be alarmed? Can they really be? Is it possible for human beings to be so conceited? How can they expect Africans to be satisfied? Is it because they really underestimate us? If so, I pray that they remain in the darkness of their fears. Do they even more effectively than did our Japanese friends at Kalping and at Arthur. Egypt, that most historic and yet mystic land of Northeastern Africa, beautiful land of the Pharaohs, cultural, geographical, political, national and racial child of ancient and tributal Ethiopia, is caught and wrapped in the flaming angulish of discontent, caused by the unwanted, and unwarranted, super-dominance of Anglo-Saxon influence and hostile alien races. It reports purporting to have come from the home of the gods and the cradle of civilization are correct, we can expect at any time anything to happen, from a peaceful revolution to an open and bloody warfare. England's unwanted supervision of Egypt's national and international affairs is a nasty, evasive, invoking thorn in Egypt's sovereign economy, and is the sole cause of the unrest and disquietude existing in that now unhappy land. Whatever may be the outcome, the civilized nations ought and should hold England to strict accountability, for the disturbance of the peace, and whatever happens there. It is heralded that Lord Lloyd, British High Commissioner, a sort of die-hard, iron-willed, nail-fisted man of the Curzon type, is the power behind the scene, and is the real ruler of Egypt; but we hope Egypt will yet produce a Kemal and an Ismet Pasha to send him to hell, where he belongs, as hurriedly as they sent Curzon, after the treaty at Lausanne, Switzerland. If the worst comes to the worst in it, the glory of satisfaction may be loud; and though not a single civilized man morally able, except Japan, Purkey, Austria, to warn England to desist from the high handed practices in Egypt, let us get ready to give and send her every we can; for we must never sit supinely by and allow them to snuffle out the light of Egypt's freedom, liberty and independence as they did in the case of Morocco, even without a single protest. Let's Redeem The Past Since the days of Stiplo Africanus, when he led on the semi-barbaric hordes of united Europe in his merciless onslaughts, pillage, waste and destruction upon the North African Empire, and completely set back the progress of humanity, in the wreck of the most resplendent civilization the world has ever known, Africa has known no peace. Since then she has been persecuted, rapaciously raped, and mercilessly upended in his day. As it were yelled Abel Kruger, Abel Kruger, and gloriously attempted to rid North Africa of her mauraders but, as customary, the shameless consorting of Europe joined together crushed freedom in her infancy. But the sun-god Atlas, son of the father god Epetes, is yet there, standing cap topmost on Olympic foundations, amid resplendent Afric courts of the chalky gyes, pointing the way, reminding us that the African heritage must be our heritage course, and that if it is not so we must ourselves make it so, by a yet glorious right, the right of reconquest. Yes, Zena must be retrieved. Our responder glories must be recovered. Our Carthaginian, Egyptian, Ethiopian and Numidian glories must be recaptured, and our invisible past redeemed. Heapy Highland Carnett, the son of orator chief, became a populer. Presbyterian in 1868 he delicately told of the invisible addresses in history on the Negro.

No bantam engaged the attention of the fans until Chocolate and his infectious amile climbed into the ring at the old St. Nicholas Arena. Contrary to the opinion of many people, the name "Chocolate" does not refer to the little Cuban's color. A brother—a welterweight of average ability—was called Chocolate, so it became natural for him to become Kid Chocolate, McMahon, who has a string on him, feels that an open-air bout between Chocolate and "Spider" Pladner will be a big money maker.

CLARKE HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va., April 27.—Schools and Colleges in every section of the south and east are preparing to enter the competition at the Hampton meet which will be held on May 11 on Armstrong Field. This is the 8th annual affair that has been held on that field—each year producing a larger and larger meet—and this year, it seems, will be no exception. At the Penn Relays, Hampton was crowned the champion Normal School relay team of America, turning in a record time of 3m 27.210ths. Lincoln University also turned a win in her class, thereby bringing two Penn relay winners into direct competition with each other. Howard University with her fleet tribe of cinder path men will also be down to add to the competition.

Julia Ojaome I have been going with a young man in this town since last October and during this time he has asked me to marry him and I have promised to do so. However this is not my home town and I have to leave here in April. Lately, I have discovered that he is keeping company with a girl in another city and frequently goes and spends the day with her. When I question him about it he denies it but I have noticed he avoids speaking of marriage now. It will break my heart to lose him and if I leave here without him I am sure I will never see him again. Stop trying to hold him and happier you will hold him better. The old question him as if you were patient and fearful of losing him. Move a frank talk with him and tell him you are sincerely interested in his happiness. Tell him that if he loves the other girl that you want him to forget that he asked you to marry him and to go to her. That it would never do for you to marry him if you possess only half of his heart. Be candid and quite calm. Tell him that you love him but that you would not want him to be unhappy and would prefer to sacrifice yourself to having him so. This is the sensible way. I believe, for you to look at it. If he is really crazy about the other woman he would keep thinking of her even after he married you and make you unhappy. But if he loved you at first and is only mildly interested in the other woman your frankness and sincerity will win him back.

It Shall Not Return Unto Me Void, but it Shall Accomplish That Which I Please, and it Shall Prosper in the Thing Whereto I sent it." Isaiah, 55th; 11th. Prayer is an art which has been, woman, who seems to get that which practised in days of old by your art, she prays for, in short order. She rests with startling results. And, says, "I am sure that my God knows as other priceless arts, being lost all about my position, so I simply tell through misuse. Modern man in his him that I am still waiting." This search of the truth, seems to recog- nize the hidden power and prayer, she persistently drills her thoughts Here and there you hear of men and along one constructive line and does women who are doing things which not allow herself to overlook any- seem supernatural to us. This re- $500 If I Fail to Grow Hair discovered art, while not fully understood by us, is our greatest asset. Please do not confuse the rational art of prayer with the "guff-guff" of the water-cye, scared faced and weakened so-called devout Christian. Prayer is not a group of words uttered in a plausive voice of a regular churchgoer. Negroes for centuries allowed themselves to use such meaningless utterances, that prayer has no meaning to the New Negro. Nevertheless, when you remember that "Truth never changes, but our understanding of it does;" you will agree with this writer that the fault is with The Art of Praiser Is The Creative Word of the Universe. It is the desire and the thing desired in one. Prayer rides in and through Faith, Hope and Charity; it gives shape to your thoughts; it is the co-worker of your will; it is rightly used by the man, of whom it is said to be Lucky, and misused by the person commonly called unfortunate. Every man's prayer is answered once it is one-pointed. The man who really believes in the art of prayer does not sit with the family upon his lap waiting for the expected ship to come in. He is a man of action. His motto is "I must win." He leaves nothing incomplete until that for which he has prayed for materials. As Christ has well said, "And I say unto you, ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened into you." Three wonderful gems from the preceding saying of Jesus, ask—seek—knock. Ask, demand whatsoever you want; seek, look around for the best people, methods and locality to your living; knock, hold the thought of success in mind, and work, work like one who understands, and do not stop until the thing or things desired are yours. The ask- seek- knock attitude in characteristic of every successful man and woman. It makes no difference whether you are afraid at a crown above, health, wealth, a happy home or a worldly name; you will have to consider the Art of Prayer a prime factor.

He says, "For every one that asketh receiveth, and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened." "If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?" "The white race prayed for wealth and the opportunity to lead other races; and how well it has succeeded does not need an explanation. The Asiatic races prayed for religious freedom and the gift of occult powers, and their prayers were timely answered." The Negro race (African) prayed for the honored chance to go to Heaven, and its prayer has been undoubtedly answered. Did not the white race spend its advanced guards to tell you that the quickest way to the "land of milk and honey" that you must get rid of all your earthly possessions and to work like mules while waiting your departing day into the unknown? God should not be accused for this deception. Man alive: Where is your understanding? Did not God grant your esteemed colored ancestor, Solomon, the gifts of Wisdom and Understanding? Do the power of wealth and the art of leadership of the white race; the opportunity of religious freedom and the gift of occult powers of the Asiatic races prevent these peoples from going to heaven? No. And, if we are to take heaven as an issue, it is more to predict that the white man has everything in his favor. Let us use understanding and ask seek—knock (prayer) for all good things while on our way to heaven, because after all it is true, You pop, pop! Do Del (the voice of the people is the voice of God).

Dr. Porter in his weekly talks in teaching a practical, masterful, living pulsating Christianity, like the Great Master taught it. Christ was no weakling no slave. He was majesty personified. He reflected mastery, manhood, power. Negro preachers can take a leaf from Dr. Porter's book. Then the Negro church will wield the influence it ought to in Negro daily life. THE EDITOR. We have been amused at the different interpretations that have been put on President Hower's recent announcement of his Southern political policy toward the Negroes. We think the best way to interpret what he says on the subject is to give close attention to what he says "Speaking of bathing in 'famous springs," remarked the tramp, "that reminds me that I bathed in the spring of '88." # OUXSAINT. retired to a small plantation near Goumaves; with his family, and settled down: Human Sacrifice Resurrected In these days, persons who believe in sacrificing human flesh for religious delites are very rare. In fact, so rare that very few people believe them to exist. Yet in 1929, a 20th century mother, Mrs. Iris Brown of Pacific street in Brooklyn, N. Y., became so enthused and imbued with her religious beliefs that she cruelly sacrificed her own child on an altar of cremation in the furnace of her home. The birth, life and death of Mrs. Brown's eight weeks old infant was shrouded in religious mystery. The child had been christened Faith by the mother, and treated as though it was to be the immediate messenger of the mother to heaven. The child had always, been dressed in white and kept immaculately clean in order to merit its well-planned and early entrance to the nearly gates. . . . On the day of the cruel tragedy the fantastical mother performed peculiar religious rites over the dobbed infant, called the rest of her children to bit-it-good-bye and wept bitterly herself, declaring it was necessary to purge herself of sin and to show her "utter unselfishness to her religion." The helpless infant was then ceremoniously wrapped in "heavenly" garb and placed carefully in a furnace of red leaping flames. Its tiny body was quickly consumed, and the remains were found by one of Mrs. Brown's relatives, who marvelled at this procedure, having noticed no other peculiarities in the fanatical mother's behaviour. Late the police were summoned and Mrs. Brown was placed under arrest charged with homicide. She is also being observed for traces of religious insanity. It is reported that several others in sophisticated Brooklyn have indulged in this orgy of human sacrifice under some unknown religious belief. Just what will be the next terrible rite discovered? "Things You Should Know" A STEAM-HEATED RIVER How many people know that there is a steam-heated river in the United States? Yes, a river, artificially heated by steam Well, there is such a stream. Along the East River in New York city are nine electric light and power plants. In order to condense the steam after it has done it work, the great turbines require about four hundred tons of cooling, water for every ton of coal burned under the boilers. As the plants consume something like a thousand tons of coal an hour, and as the temperature of the water is raised about 25 degrees during the five minutes that it stays in the plant, it is obvious that the effect on the river is considerable... This tremendous supply of warm water poured back into the East River raises the temperature of the whole stream, from Hell Gate to Governors Island, no less than 10 degrees. Consequently the East River never freezes over, even on the coldest day in winter.

Orange segments, mixed with slices from red apples, pieces of grapefruit, dates stuffed with walnut, shredded cabbage, or chopped celery and apples. Here are five salads to choose from.

THE FRENCH hooters continued to scheme and Your Handwriting Reveals Your Possibilities!! No. 12, Three Interesting Specimens By Dr. M. N. BUNKER, D.C.S. Nationally Known Handwriting Authority THIS week we have three interesting specimens which have come to us from various parts of the country. They show some very interesting characteristics—but your own writing shows others that are just as interesting. Because this is true—because every person's handwriting is interesting, and tells a wonderful story, we are offering a prize of one dollar to the man or woman who sends in the most interesting handwriting this week. No matter whether you are a good writer, or a poor one, take a pen and ink and write a single page, letter. Do it now—and you may not only win a dollar bill, but also have your writing selected for publication on this page. L. B.

You have more than the average of intuition, show that, you are likely to like, music, and poetry, and that if you will get the right kind of training, and will make an effort, you can make some name for yourself in the writing field. You have a warm and friendly nature, and are practical in your ambitions. Negro Congressman Must Be Ever Vigilant To Remind Congress and America of The 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments He Must Demand Their Enforcement By FRANK R. CROSSWAITH After an absence of almost three decades, a Negro again sits in the nation's House of Representatives as a Federal lawmaker. The same responsibilities resting on the shoulders of Honorable Oscar DePriest are indeed mighty and far reaching. Unlike his white colleagues in the lower house, Congressman DePriest cannot alone attempt to represent in a general way the divergent interest of 123 million Americans, but in addition he must think, act, feel and fight for the specific rights of 15 millions of his race. urgue to live. In the factories on the rail, trivialized farms of the they toll long hours tance while the secret to win for themselves of their labor lies burr sands of prejudice and The traditional illitity of the Negro manly being awaet the industrial deman Negro preachers in a their once so cagely beginning to overheat for the industrialized religion which touches his life his masses. Would that it were otherwise. Would that Mr. Delriest like the average Congressman could pretend abstrusely to think only of the larger national interest, but America has compelled the Negro today to imitate his white fellow citizens and think largely in terms of race, and the Negro is so thinking even though many Negroes would themselves deny the fact. From the viewpoint of group interest then, Congressman DearPriest is today the most responsible Negro in public life. His presence in Congress comes at a moment in the life of his race when far-reaching changes of a fundamental, social and economic nature are taking place in the world and, naturally, shedding their mobile rays of influence upon the thoughts and minds of Negroes and whites everywhere. In America in particular, the spinning Jenny has disappeared from the old cotton fields of the South. The unrhythmic hum of modern machinery is now heard where once a crooning mellowed cadence of mingled hope and sorrow came flowing out of the song seeped souls of Negro cotton pickers. The primitive hand plough no longer plays a role of importance in the land where once cotton was king. In the industrial vortex, black working men are to be found rubbing shoulder to shoulder with white workers in practically every industry.

In the mines, mills and factories on the railroads and industrialized farms of the nation together they toil long hours for a more pittance while the secret of their power to win for themselves a farther share of their labor lies buried in the quicksands of prejudice and ignorance. The traditional illiteracy and docility of the Negro masses are gradually being swept away by the tide of the industrial demands of the day. Negro preachers in an effort to hold their once so cagely held docks are beginning to overheat their religion, for the industrialized Negro wants a religion which touches more intimately his life, his wages, hours and conditions of work. The Negro is reaching out for power. By a happy turn of thinking he is slowly growing conscious of the fact What Individual Progress Of th What Individual Has Contributed Most to the Progress Of the Negro Race In America?

The human body is a wonderful place of mechanism rivalling in importance anything having an origin on this planet. And well might it be so, as the first possessor was the embodiment of the great Architect himself. Generally speaking, it consists physically of skin, hair, nail, bone, muscle, tendon, tooth, nerve, blood; whilst its chemical constituents reveal themselves in the form of water, sulphate, ammonia, chloride, acid, alkali and other basic substances. Taking these ingredients singly, there is nothing extraordinarily toorecord, but in combination each aptly and fittily joined, the expression that man is fearfully and wonderfully made finds an echo in every interested mind. At the beginning the human body was perfect. It was able to withstand centuries of usage. The insurer, disease, however, has made an appearance, and the great endeavor now is to fight against the ravages which this unwelcome guest has perpetrated. The dominant pride of life is to be a creator, an inventor, or a possessor. The automobile mechanic is unquestionably proud of what his genius has accomplished, and he is ever on the watch to improve on his latest model. The individual who owns a locomotor bestows the best of care thereon. He furnishes it with the necessities which enable it to perform the best service. Should anything go wrong which requires technical skill, he takes it to one whose knowledge of the parts en- Romantic Dream Says Ex EDITORS NOTE: Miss Ella Dawson, of the Occult Digest, has kindly consented to explain the scientific significance of any dreams which are necessary experience.

Do you hear the songs of the that the road to power is thru organization and that a failure in the past to appreciate this fact has resulted in a majority of mankind being subdued and enslaved by the minority. To represent in any Congress this newer viewpoint of the thinking Negro is a task of no mean magnitude. While a lone Negro Congressman cannot himself make laws that will remedy the immediate evils from which Negroes suffer he can and should use his privileged position from the rostrum of the nation's capitol to whip and sting the conscience of the nation with regard to the civil rights of his race. He should be relentless in his attack upon lynching, segregation, jim-crowism, and other, such criminal institutions. By his speeches, he should turn upon these citadels of orphanism the pitiless light of public. Has Contribut the Negro Race Ballot—No Signature —No Obligation—Just of your choices—Main newspaper.

This body of ours is of innately more value to the individual than any machine invented by man. It should be carefully guarded from infringements. In spite of our gallant effort, however, many times the machinery goes wrong. There are unselfish individuals who have spent and are spending their talents in scientific researches, in order to aid their fellow men in the matter of their health. They are acquainted with the details of every part of the human system. As new light shines in their pathway, they are willing to dispense it to suffering humanity. It is not a wise thing to try eradicating an alliment the cause of which one is not familiar with, and still less the treatment. There was a certain individual who noticed symptoms which became, aggravating and thought it best to treat the system by swallowing daily a large amount of a mixture of sulphur and syrup. It is needless to relate that the whole body was poisoned by the so-called medication. The disease causing the trouble was diabetes milletin. Do not deceive yourself under such circumstances.

When in the Senate a Heflin complains about his right to free speech, a Negro in the House should arouse the nation with the tragic story of a Negro's life in Senator Heflin's home state, Alabama. When the administration becomes voluble over the national disregard for the 13th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, a Negro Congressman should remind the world of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to that document. The voice of Congressman DePriest ought to be strengthened as soon as possible by two more Negro Congressmen from New York City. The need of the hour is for fearless, able, independent thinking men who possess a knowledge of world problems, and devotion to the crusade for social and economic justice. ted Most to the In America? ure—No Condition must write thenames ail at once to this Ne NEO SSs PS aN ine PERO MTN MDI Spe NE TIER RICE RY BE ARPS SREY, Se TO patios Bee ego S ke ee ea gee ay aay a eR URNNNO C eE meee nent Tr eae ceT eR ana ee aR ON RL ha Me ee Fntca | eee te a ee | oe ERT SER Ger therA | lots Fe A a he i Ea eee aS A Ai es: i ee a I FR eg Ten, kL) Genrer SES GA ha) Sete ee nee Wane aha ta ae | ESeeEs (Sea). 3 fee ” a ~ [See See Sesame [te coerinmcwl | Saerear ee / | s 1 “ | ~ gn ieee tS ae Ser ee E ie J ae ay : (B= bees JE le Ye) RNG Penick — 06S eae ae ae PA oe ee eee ee we Ai / aes Si <Saa) C/o ee Ss he Bs Tid eee ir) SN ae te ye 5 Sh" ze 4 no ae ay Ek ae er a a? ee ee READERS ARE REQUESTED TO MENTION THE,NEGRO: WORLD WHEN RB j .
