Hour Has Come for Negroes to Stick Together, Live Together If Need Be Die Together
Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting:
Allow me once again to convey to you my deep sense of appreciation of the splendid, untiring efforts which you are making at this time to hold aloft the banner of the Red, Black and Green.
Be brave, be loyal, be steadfast against the day when I shall return to you, better equipped than ever, to point the way to our great objective, to a free and redeemed Africa.
The Battle of Wits
The world is an eternal battleground. The beings who live in it are the soldiers who are engaged in this eternal conflict. At the present time the human race is divided into many camps, each camp endeavoring to outdo the other. We who constitute one of the warring groups seem to be the least prepared for this conflict. On every hand you will see the different groups being marshalled by their most competent generals or leaders for the purpose of holding their respective places in the affairs of the world. Unfortunately, for a long while we refused to advance our cause under our own leadership. We divided ourselves and aligned ourselves with the different groups or with the different camps and have gone to war with them. Hence, in the past and even now, we find Negroes fighting under the banners of England, of France, of Italy, of Spain, of America, while the other groups or the other peoples fight under their independent banners. We refuse to recognize the fact that we should fight under a banner of our own, but, as I said, aligned ourselves with all the other forces, scattering ourselves, and thereby defeating ourselves at every turn.
The Hour for Negroes to Stick Together
The hour has come for Negroes to get together and stick together and live together, and if we must die, to die together. The most dangerous enemy of the race at this time is that Negro who is teiling us that.all the world is not so bad and you must exercise patience and the rest of it because the other fellow's going to be good. He is the most dangerous member of our society. The world is not going to be good until Christ comes back, and nobody knows when He is coming. He may not be here for another million years. During that time if
Life Is Serious, Warns President-General—400,000,000 NegroesMustGetaTrueConcept and True Understanding of Life—Life Is Earnest Be Ready to Protect Your Interests
Organize and Fight to Extricate Yourselves From The Dilemma Which Awaits Scattered and Unorganized Groups
Appeals To Negroes—Face Facts In a Practical World— Trust Good—Have Faith in Yourselves
you do not get right you are going to get hell until He comes.
Negroes Must Get a True Concept of Life
Life is serious; life is earnest. If the 400,000,000 Negroes must live, they must first get a concept and a true understanding of what life means. Life does not mean playing the fool. Life means being alert at all times, being on the qui vive and being ever ready to protect your own existence. It is for that that we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association fight at this hour.
The Fight for Mastery of the World
If the Negroes of the world do not get ready to match their wits against the wits of the world or match something else, they are face to face with hell—the hell that we have been told about ever since we came into the world. There is going to be hell down here in this world in another few years, in the battle of existence between the different racial groups for the mastery and the possession of this world. It is for that that the great Caucasian race is lining up itself; it is for that the yellow and darker races of the East are endeavoring to line up, and if you do not realize your position and organize and fight to extricate yourselves out of the dilemma in which
you are going to be placed by these different groups, you may as well sing your requiem.
If Your Children Must Eat
I am appealing to you in all parts of the world to drop your sentiment and face the world with facts, because you are living in a practical world. The fight is for your loaf of bread. It is fight and struggle to the end if you must eat, if your children must eat, if your grandchildren must eat and posterity must eat. And if you don't lay the foundation now for preserving their part of the wheat and the meat when they come, they will have nothing but the chaff and the bones.
We are living in serious times, Negroes. Trust no one but yourselves. Trust no one but God, that God who has not, as some would believe, taken away creation as He was to the white man, the red man or any other man; that God who has not forgotten us; that God who has snot, as some would believe, taken away from us anything that we should have, but that God who naturally must be displeased with us because of our own lethargy. I want to impress upon you you have a tremendous responsibility resting upon your shoulders, a responsibility for your own generation of today and a greater responsibility for your children of tomorrow. If you Negro peoples of the world do not fight in this battle of wits, if you Negro peoples of the world do not fight in every way possible, your children shall curse you and damn you for perpetuating this race, for bringing them into existence and bequeathing to them nothing else but the husks of your life.
With very best wishes, I have the honor to be Your Obedient Servant, _____

The mass meeting of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, which was held under the auspices of the Garvey Club, rekindled the fires of Negro Freedom and African redemption in the hearts of all those who had the opportunity to be present; for it was indeed an opportunity. After the usual processional, which was followed by prayers from the ritual, the Hon. R. Pettis, in the chair, opened the evening's proceedings. The hymn "Shine On, Eternal Light" was sung and as the strains wafted upward and blended with the spendid music rendered by Prof. L. H. H. the spirit of Negro Freedom and African Redemption had a rebirth. Eyes gleamed with a new meaning; and faintning spirits caught the fire.
On the platform were: Mrs. Capers, Lady President, Mrs. L. M. Carmeylin, Lady vice-president, Dr. Land of the Newark, N. J. Div. Com. James, of Gary, Ind., Ex-Com. Boltram, and other officers.
The Black Cross Nurses, and the U. A. Legions by their splendid demonstrations helped to make the evening's meeting more inspiring and realistic than it otherwise might have been. It was a meeting that was worth going far to see. The President-General's weekly message read by a young member of the J. C. Corps, in splendid fashion, gripped the hearts of the hearers, and nerved them for greater efforts.
Mme. M. L. T. DeMena, Asst. International Organizer, came in during the course of the evening. She was in the fettle, gripped the hearts of her hearers, and set their soils on fire, as she told of what Garveyism was doing not only to black men, but to men of every race, all over the world.

you could have been there to witness that meeting, it would have done you good, and have given you an idea of what our great organization is doing for men and women everywhere. Like me you would have been filled with a new and determined spirit. It makes me feel like singing that good old hymn "Garvey is our leader, we shall not be moved." (Starts singing, and audience joins in lustily). And as he continued, since we are planted like trees by rivers of water, we shall not be moved when the crisis comes. Our ancient fathers led the world in days gone by, by the deaths of valor, by the works of art, and by the glory that surrounded their every work; you who are their descendants will likewise lead mankind if you will stick to the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, as outlined by Marcel Garvey, as outlined by Marcel Garvey, if you have any purpose, if you have any manhood, if you have any desire for freedom, then you will stick to that program till kingdom come.
I want to read to you a paper which shows the kind of Christianity that is being preached, and practiced by some white people in Africa, the land of our fathers. Listen! (Here reads a quotation from Bishop Levieville). "The Creator made black men and white men; black men like white men, but they sweet-eat at the same heaven but they sweet-eat at the same heaven nor sleep in the same beds." (Continues) Now, friends can you imagine any, Christianity' like that. Do you mean to tell me that this is the reliction of Jesus the Christ? That kind of religion and the bishop who propounds it should pack up and go straight to hell, where it belongs. Garvey is teaching a new religion. We believe in the existence of a God, and in the religion of Jesus Christ, and in the religion of religion for one man, and another kind of religion for the other fellow.
"The Negro preachers, who are sadling on their people with burdensome expeditures for the building of stately edictions, yet refuse to open a little former grocery so that their people can buy some of their own goods at a low price ought to be ashamed of themselves. They are only burdens to the race. But the Negro is walking up, and all this is going to change, and change very soon. Garvey's religion is a religion that teaches truth and righteousness." Think of what black men have done in the past. Think of what black men will do in the future. Think of the People. Russian Nobleman, born of a black African father and a white mother, who gave to Russia the language of which she is so proud today. But for that Negro the people of Russia might still have been writing in another language.
Maurin Garvey has put a backbone into men that only had wishbones before. You know what Dr. Moton of Tusteegee did recently. Moton went to see President Hoover. President Hoover spoke to him on the Negro question, and asked what was the best way to settle the vexing question. Moton had the courage to tell the president that there must be a change, a radical change, in the way things are done, as far as the Negro is concerned, for the Negro is not, can not, and will not be satisfied with things as they are, hence, before they can expect any quietude
would have been the president of the United States, and he would never have dreamed of visiting such things ten years ago, and visiting Marvin Garvey—Motton came to Rockhole, where formerly he worked. And they could not not have been among the wushongs for the one and only Garvey came in the squad. The Booker Washington, must have heard over in his great could he have heard what Moton said to the president, for you, know fully well that Booker never would have had the temerity to attempt to say any such thing.
We, of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, believe that Marcus Garvey is the new Son of God that is seal to bring peace; love, and justice to this world. And I am here to say that there has not artisen any greater genius, anywhere, ab any time than Marcus Garvey. Garvey is a great diplomat. For that we are indebted to the great British Empire. They gave to the world, David-Lloyd George, who is recognized as one of greatest statesmen that ever lived; and they gave to the world, and to the world of Negroes, Marcus Garvey, in whom we believe we have as great a stateman and as great a diplomat as David-Lloyd George.
And now, conversation time is nearly here. When Garvey strikes his African gavel, on that histoire bit of iron that come from Africa, for the opening of the first convention of the Negro Peoples of the world, the world will listen and hear; for black men and women are coming from every corner of the globe to confer so that they can hear the voice of the world over, might be ameliorated, and the coming of the day when Africa shall be made free shall be hastened. Stand strong, stand firm, stand true, and raise, lift your voices so that Garvey can hear you saying, "The God shall be my God. The country shall be my country, and thy people shall be my people.
Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen: It is a great pleasure to be here with you tonight in Liberty Hall, griddle of Negro Freedom. Coming from the division of Gary, Indiana, and Detroit, I want to convey to you the report of the great spirit that is animating the divisions, in Garveyism is a growing force out there. Garveyism has both black and white think that Garvey is a great man, the greatest man of the hour.
The Negro today is at the crossroads of destiny. For years the Negro was at the mercy of every one else. Everyone had an opportunity but the Negro. The Negro labored under the iron hand of injustice. Because of these conditions, the U. N. A. was founded by Marcelo Garvey, who I make hold to any in the greatest genius of the age. The Negro is in the tomb of ignorance. And I ask you, who is going to roll away the stone. Formerly everybody fooled the Negro. He was at the mercy of any one. But Marcelo Garvey has changed all this. Certain times of the year you will talk with a boy, you can't kill certain birds, but they could kill a Negro any time, anywhere. Then one bright morning, came Marcelo Garvey Garvey spoke from this platform on this cradle of Negro freedom. He spoke on the streets of Harlem. He travelled everywhere over this great country, and told the Negro that the time had come when he must begin to put an end to these conditions, and everywhere men and women began to realize that the Negro was a mage.
There were a great many people of our group in America then. Some called themselves colored, some were high-brows, some were octoorons, and others were all sorts of things, but nobody wanted to be called a Negro. But when Marcus Garvey came on the scene and began to tell them of the Negro's past, and of the glory that the race had in the years long gone, everybody began to realize that the Negro was a race that Garvey came no one ever thought that Negro could have the league to send a delegation to the League of Nations but through the teachings and inspirations of Marcus Garvey I now feel myself big enough to be the mayor of this city; big enough to be the governor of this state; big enough to be the president of this country. And yet no matter how I feel, I will not be allowed to fill the positions which I have the ability to fill because I am black, therefore, I am filling up with Marcus Garvey and the U: N. I, A. to found a government in Africa, where Negroes can reach to any place for which they are fitted, and where men of all the world must be bound to respect, us.
Ex. Quin, Boltrum Also Speaks
Ex. Quin, Boltrum, who was also
aiming the speakers on the platform,
gave a short and stirring address, reminding his hearers that the glory of the fathers, who first taught civilization to mankind will be rekindled in greater measure in the days to come, urging them to be loyal, steadfast and true to the great organization. The U. N. L. A.

Was among those present on the platform, and exercised the pleasure to be present for the first time in the great liberty hall he had heard so much about. Then he manned out and warmed up, raising his hearers to a high pitch of enthusiasm. He also told of the interest interest that the Newark division was praising, and mixed all present to stand fast, and long forward to the day when Africa is free.

If Africa is to be redeemed, rejuvenation must engulf all affairs Africa.—The Universal Negro Improvement Association first must set the example.
There must be a thorough and complete change within our own movement; an end must be put to our cumbersome and clumsy handling of our internal and external affairs.
Means and ways, methods of approach, and systematic enrichment of the universal black girdle must be thoroughly and calculatively handled with complete engineering precision.
If Africa is to be redeemed, nothing in the work of recovery must be left to haphazardy; else we open ourselves to besetting failures at every turn of the game; and history and posterity will have reason to pass judgment upon us as traitors to the cause.
If we are sincere, we will immediately change front, and let our tactics become more dynamic, more effecient and more practical. We will cause our abortive time-marking, do nothingness, and get in actual contact with Africa at home and abroad. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is the only international movement I know of that has gained the confidence of the entire Black World,—therefore it falls to the list of this world-wide organization to lead the way in the recalibration of Africa. It now becomes imperative incumbent upon us to consider and accept all responsibilities, morally, socially, politically, educationally, and otherwise. If we are to succeed in the gritious work of reeducation, we must not be afraid to tackle problems.
The problems confronting us, I admit, are many; but however colossal and scintingly tedious, must give way from Gary, Indiana, who reports great progress, and unusual activity in that section. Com. James was also here for the purpose of looking into the details of very important business on behalf of the division, especially because of the near approach of the open, days of the Sixth International Convention to be held in Kingston, Jamaica, B. E. W. I. during the month of August. We wish for Gary and Com. James a still greater measure of usefulness and success.

In this way I am sure, led on by intelligent and able leaders, forts of opposition, and fortresses of obstacles will go down before us, like so many so-called vulnerable garrisons before a well-trained, well-trained, and well-equipped army.
If Africa is to be redeemed there must be contact agencies established in 'ery important center of the globe. A vast sum of money must be raised for the practical function and upkeep of this department of operations; a department to be known as the Foreign Relations Department. Under this department, the problem of contact and penetration would be dealt with, and it would be responsible for creating and maintaining world sympathy in behalf of the oppressed blacks, regardless of affiliations', or national contact.
In times of stress, politically or otherwise, it would have to deal with such problems which confront us and concern us one way or another. The convention would see the wisdom in finding means to appropriate to this department an extra sum of fifteen thousand pounds (approximately 370,000) for the education abroad of a few selected young men; in Tortoise, Constantinople, Moscow, Berlin, London and Paris; the courses not to be here mentioned. If Africa is to be redeemed, again I say, the so-called gigantic problems must vanish before us like the myriad and dusty apples of Troy, and go down before the method, and unfitness, and realities. If Africa is to be redeemed—if we prepare really to reclaim 'Africa, for God and our humanity, then that conquest of Negroes will listen to reason, and hear me, if fortune permits, for the light of a new day will dawn; and I, your humble servant, mount the tribune in Kingston, to help solve the problem of Universal Negro Surfrage.

SPIRIN
Those of our readers who are not subscribers to The Negro World but who secure their copies from agents are hereby advised that it would be much better for them to subscribe for one year or six months and receive The Negro World directly by mail.
The rates are as follows: Domestic, one year, $2.50; six months, $1.25. Foreign, one year, $3.00; six months, $2.00.
We are advising readers to subscribe so that they may secure the paper promptly each week, as there are several agents who are backward in their payments and from whom supplies are being withheld.
Please think seriously over this request and act at once, so that you will be kept well informed on the activities of the organization and world affairs affecting the race.
to education, we will also take on our tasks and in addition how a thousand times to true-hearted, honest men empowered by a street-regard to the dictates of conscience.
In a little while our convention will start in Kingston, Jamaica, B. W. I. There, Negroes will be gathered from all parts of the world to face a true example of conscientiousness, honesty and loyalty to his race—the Hon. Marcus Garvey.
I am wondering what report will the presidents of the various divisions have to give from their hearts.
Presidents of Divisions No. 1-1,000! Are you representing Marcus Garvey in spirit and in truth? Are you treating that little company that is entrusted to your care? Are you using your dealing with them? Are you using your cleverness to help or are you diplomatic taking a advantage of your less fortunate brothers and sisters who have placed their confidence in you?
Please examine and cleanse yourselves before you step into the convention ground.
Remember, that if your division is fanatical, you may have to make a speech, and that speech may be printed in the Negro World, or the Black Man, to be read by the members of your division. Mr. Presidents, will you help us to read same with joy and gladness, instead of with frowns on our faces? I desire to let the presidents of the U. N. I. A. the world over understand that when they travel the constitutional road of this organization that the members will love, and Honor them; even when they are dead. We are longing to go home. Presidents, will you help us to go? You can only do so by demonstrating the true spirit of the Hon. Marcus Garvey.
Girls To Serve In Dining Cars
"George of the familiar 'Yas-sah' will disappear and port bobbedhead blondes and brunettes will balance trays in dining cars of the Northern Pacific's Yellowstone Park trains after June 20.
R. C. Taylor, assistant superintendent of dining car service on the Northern Pacific, announced today that girls are being trained to replace Negro waiters, chefs and assistant chefs on their trains running between Livingston and Gardiner, Mont.
The new order, Taylor asserted, is in line with his company's effort to appeal to feminine tastes in the matter of food. "We cater to women," he said, "because they are experts in food and know all about it. Give a man enough and he is satisfied."

This Gift, When Met, Will You Take
Turn Toward Securing $200,000
from General Education Burses
and Total of $200,000
ATLANTA, Ga. — The Johns Rosenthal Fund has thrown to the alumni and other friends of Morphus College a stiring challenge in the offer of $100,000 for the endowment fund campaign now in progress, on condition that colored contributors give a like sum. The offer is embodied in a corral later to President Hope M. Edwin Embree, President of the Rosenthal Fund, expressing the hope that the friends of the institution will promptly meet the challenge and enable the school to realize the gift.
Further significance is given to this muni-
ment offer by the fact that, when consummated, it will go far to-
ward meeting the condition of the original offer of $300,000 from the General Education Board, provided a like sum should be raised from all other sources, which is the basis of the endowment campaign now in progress for $600,000. It will be seen, therefore, that when $100,000 has been secured from coated sources making available the $100,000 offered to the unwound Fund, it will be necessary to raise from all other sources only an additional $100,000 in order to claim the gift from the General Education Board and attain the total real of $600,000.
Friends of the institution are encouraged by the fact that a substantial beginning has been made toward the $100,000 needed from Negro sources. The campus campaign conducted some weeks ago resulted in subscriptions, aggregating $17,000 from students and members of the faculty. The Negroes of Atlanta then subscribed $50,000, so that, even allowing for possible shrinkage, it is reasonable to hope that something like half the amount required to secure the Rosenwald gift is already secured.
The burden of getting the remainder needed to meet the conditions will fall largely upon Mr. A. W. Dent, graduate of Morehouse and secretary of the, Alumni Association, under whose direction organizations will be set up in various cities and the campaign pushed as rapidly as possible. President Hope is confident that the friends of the institution will rally with loyal enthusiasm to the generous challenge of the Rosenwald and General Education gifts.

Ira De A. Read, director of the research department of the National Urban League with headquarters in New York City, left Denmark last Sunday after spending a three weeks period in the task of collecting data for a study of the industrial and economic factors affecting the Negro-population of the city. Indications are that Mr. Reid has made a thorough-giving analysis of all phases of the problem and has, in his possession for the forthcoming publication sufficient data for an illuminating report which will be made available for local as, well as out-of-town groups which are interested in the matter.
The department of sociology of the University of Denver furnished a dozen students for the house to house visitation, necessary; for the family analysis, which will be incorporated in the report, and Professor J. H. McWilliams, head of the department; evinced a very keen interest in the survey. The Denver Chamber of Commerce also assisted very materially in the work of gathering statistics concerning the employment of Negro labor in the local industries. Superintendent Threlkeld, of the Denver School system made available all the records of the office, and considerable data were secured concerning the school attendance, and the participation of the group in the public school activities covering a period of five years past.
The Denver survey was made possible by the Inter-racial Commission, a very active organization composed of a number of leading citizens, of both races. The officers of the Y. M. C. A., including the staff of the Central Branch, and the Glenarm Colored Branch, the Y. W. C. A. Phyllis Wheatley Branch, were active in planning and carrying on the survey and rendered valuable assistance to Mr. Reid and his workers.
When the analysis of the data collected is limiting in the sense of the Urban League, those are being made to publish the information in pamphlets, form-to-be distributed. Copies may be obtained by writing to Fritz Canielk, executive secretary of the Glenarma Branch, Y. M. C. A., Denver. By Fritz Canielk.

The meeting was opened with singing hymn "From Green Land Ice Mountain," followed by the Universal Prayer by the Chaplain.

zando detenidamente esta cuestión obtenemos la visión de uno de los más arduos problemas de nuestra raza negra.
A mi mejor modo de entender, la única solución es el crear un campo donde el negro pueda tranquilamente desarrollar su energía y aspiración, rodeándose de oportunidades por sí y para sí mismo. De otro modo las consecuencias serán funestas para la raza debil, será una desgracia para los ideales de la verdadera justicia y una mancha para la civilización contemporanea.
La raza negra debe tener su propio país; la raza negra debe tener una nación con un gobierno propio. Si no hay la intención de dar al negro igual oportunidad en el campo del progreso, y sin un sitio adecuado para evolucionar propiamente, qué seré de su porvenir? Porqué debe el negro, como el indio americano, percére en la lucha por su existencia? No ha contribuido el negro física e intelectualmente al progreso de orras naciones? Porqué no cooperar con él al establecimiento de su propia nación?

READERS ARE REQUESTED TO MENTION THE NEGRO WORLD WHEN REPL
Nuestro organización ha venido anunciado por algún tiempo la celebración de la suerte convencional internacional de los pueblos negros del universo, la cual tendrá lugar en Kingstown, Jamaica, durante todo el mes de agosto proximo. Cehtenares de delegados representando los intereses de los clatrócientos millones de la raza, tomarán partijapación en dicha magna reunión.
Apelando a la conciencia de los pueblos negros del universo para que progresen y no se engañen a si mismos. El presidente general de esta organización indica el medio de eliminar el prejuicio racial. Unica solución satisfactoria para destruir la ignominia sobre nuestro elemento. Una nación de la oraza capaz de protejer los derechos de sus'ciudanos garantizará una paz duradera.
Es razonable asumir que el elemento de la raza ha prestado su atención al toque de llamada. Ya es hora para que se ote una y lleve a la realizacion grandes cosas en beneficio propio. Esta, magma reunion dara a nuestro elemento la gran oportunidad para demonstrar su ability e inteligencia en la sancion de sus mas complicados problemas.
Algunos entre nuestro elemento en su persecusión de posición y honor, han obtenido como privilegio especial el disfate de sus derechos constitucionales, y así vemos un escaso número de nuestros hombres ocupando puestos de responsabilidad en el gobierno, mientras otros por medio de sus propios esfuerzos se han establecido profesional, comercial e industrialmente.
En la discusión de los distintos puntos del programa notamos cono importante nuestro futuro religioso. Este punto lo consideranios de importancia vital porque opinamos que nuestro elementos necesita una verdadera preparación hacia tal fin. Considerando que hemos aceptado una religión en la cual creemos firmenente, si existe ella alguna falta de lógica de deberemos colocarla sobre el tapete y darle la debida consideración.
Este hecho es considerado por muchos como una garantía y esperanza en lo que a la igualdad social y al progreso racial respecta. Pero ello es una equivocación. No existirá tal igualdad y progreso toda vez que continue germinando la mala semilla del prejuicio. Este ha de existir entre blancos y negros siempre que el primeto crea que este último ha de inmiscuirse en sus derechos; que intenta hacer su trabajo tanto en lo físico como en lo intelectual; que persigue ocupar los mismos puestos políticos; que se dispone asociarse y hasta contraer matrimonio con sus mujeres.
La convención ofrecerá la oportunidad para disentir esta gran cuestión, y toda vez que en ella toniaran parte delegados y representantes de las diversas congregaciones religiosas de la raza, venos claramente que una-gran cantidad de luz esclarecera dicha tena, inducándonos el camino recto a seguir. La discusión del futuro educativo del negro será otré de los tennas de importancia en la convención. Creemos hasta el presente que el negro es la victima de las enseñanzas y doctrinas de las otras razas, y para poder glar plena otré a esta cuestión, se ha hecho extensiva la invitación a abogados, doctores y educadores deuestra raza para que assistan a la convención y expresen su opinión sincera sobre el particular.
Muchos no me han entendido aún, muchos no han querido entenderme; pero en esta ocasión trataré de explicar mas claramente mis ideas para bien de todos, especialmente para aquellos mal informados.
El sinniminero de temas en el programa de la convención son todos de gran interés, y estanos en el convención; de que los delegados tratarán todas las cuestiones con el debido sentido común, dando ello gran credito y reconocimiento a su organización y a su raza.
Los que predican la igualdad social y se esfuerzan en la creación de un elemento cuyá pigmentación no sea ni blanca ni negra, han intentado maljuzgarme creando un prejuicio en contra de mi labor. La opinión pública muchas veces sin detenerse a analizar e indagar el motivo de la critica y del ataque en contra de ciertos directores y sus movimientos, condena al criticado sin darle oportunidad para que presente su defensa.
Reina gran entusiasmo en todas partes y notamos grandes preparativos para hacer de la proxina convención internacional de la raza, las más importante en la historia de nuestra organización. Concierne a todo miembro de la raza-negra el mantener la responsabilidad impresa, en la persecución del exito y beneficio de nuestro elemento en general.
Aquellos de nosotros que se han opuesto a mi labor por el hecho de que reuse patrocinar su programa de arrogancia e igualdad social, obtuvieron con sus artimas el que se me procesara por un crimen que runca cometi, y con lo cual calculaban anularme y destruir por completo el movimento magno y altruista que represento. Ya no he de prestar atención alguna a su oposición, sino simplemente presentar los hechos tal cuales son y apelar de nuevo a la opinión pública, para que los juzgue con verdadera imparcialidad.
Dentro del periodo de cien años el mundo habráublicado sino triplicado su población. La masa intelectual realiza que el transcurso de los siglos creará un exceso de población. y las oportunidades entre los pueblos de una misma casta serán muy escasas. ¿Cuál será el resultado de dos razas, la una fuerte y la otra debil, en competencia por la adquisición de las mismas oportunidades. ¿El imaginarnos fiscales, jueces, representantes al congreso, oficinistas y oficiales del gobierno, artesanos y braseros de la raza en sus respectivas labores, mientras miles de blancos pereceen de hambre, es presentar ante nuestra vista el terrible cuadro de una escena sangrienta. Mi labor tiende a evitar tales desastres entre la gran familia del género humano.
Pensamientos en las aspiraciones de una generación de hombres y mujeres de nuestra raza-graduados de colegios y universidades, capacitados para ocupar puestos en los diversos departamentos del gobierno, en el comercio, en la industria, en la sociedad y en la política. Podría facilitmente detenerse este elemento en su matcha de progreso? Ello provocaría el descontento. De otro modo, abriendosele las puertas de la oportunidad, ¿cuál sería la actitud de los necesidades de la raza opuesta? Anali-
El Club Patrílico Social
"Cuba" En El Imperial
Auditorium
La noche del 27 de mayo se llevó
a tabo en la exhibición de boxeo y
Baile de las Flores en Jos salones
del Imperial Auditorium de esta
ciudad, bajo los ausplejos del Club
Patriotico Social "Cuba".
En la exhibición tomaaron participación Kid Chocolae, Black Bill,
Jose Diaz, Baby Face (Quintana)
y Kid La Rosa, haciendo todos una buena demostración de su ability en el arte del pugilismo. - La gran concurrencia de miembros y amigos de la sociedad en cuestión, aplaudió entusiasicamente la labor de los gladiadores.
Terminada la exhibición de boxeo se dio conjienzo al programa bailable, donde la orquesta dirigida por el professor F. de Thomas nos delicte con un vartado y aneno repertorio musical.
Dentro del mayor regocijo se dio por terminada la fiesta, y entrada las horas de la mañana.
Muy bien por el Club, Patriotico y los simpáticos boxeadores.
En su encuentro a diez asaltos con Fidel La Barba en el Coliseo de esta ciudad en la noche del 22 proxinio pasado, Eligio Sardinas (Kid Chocolate) el pequeño gladiador cubano, obtuvo otro triunfo por puntos.
La Barba aunque más experto en el boxeo, se vio dominado en todos los asaltos por la agilidad y certeza del boxeador cubano, siendo imposible penetrar la defensa que el Kid le presentó.
Durante la lucha no se registro un solo derribo, pero en el sexto asaltó La Barba se vio a pinto de caer caerado su contrincante le propinó dos golpes en la maudibula. El excampón mundial del peso mínimo demostro gran valor y resistencia al furioso ataque del gladiador cubano.
La Barba en ocasiones, después de una ofensiva contraria, reacciónaba y contraatacaba con toda suibilidad levando a su adycerario hacia las cuerdas, pero, este invariablenemente dándose cuenta de la situación, fue dueno de ella no solamente en esos instantes, sino en todo el curso del combate. Asistieron a dicho match dieciocho mil personas.
The black man is the bottomi 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 indefinitely. The only pity is that by his timorous policy the white man is staying the progress of this wonderful country.—Abantu Batho, Johannesburg, S. Africa.

In addition the Skiffs had captured 40,000 cartridges and the riders of the British.

At the news of this crushing defeat the whites in South Africa were in consternation. They saw themselves sharing the same awful fate. Theyabled to England for aid, and that same, weak 15,000 soldiers under Lord Woolsey with the latest equipment left for the Cape. Among the volunteers was the Prince Napoleon, son and heir of the recently deposed Napoleon III.
A few days later Cetewayo again defeated the British at Rorke's Drift and laid siege to Etshowe. He followed it with another victory at Inahibane, the nature of the ground being in his favor. In August, 1879, the British, now strongly reinforced again, invaded Zululand. With a force of 15,000 Lord Chelmeford met Cetewayo and his 25,000 warriors. Ulundi. Strongly entrenched behind their ammunition carts and wagons, the British opened fire at a range of 1000 yards
Superhuman Courage.
The Negro heroes charged with their usual courage but it was impossible, for them, ill-armed as they were, to pass the belt of fire that protected their foes. Against the machines, valor and bravery counted for naught. "A thrill of admiration passed through me," says Browne, when I thought of the splendid courage of the savages who could advance to the charge suffering such awful punishment." Finally Cetewayo was forced to withdraw, leaving 5,000 of his dead.
A few days later, however, Cetewayo spring another surprise. One of his detachments defeated and killed the Prince Napoleon, causing a tremendous stir in Europe.
Was this retribution? His grandfather had caused the death of a Negro, Toussaint L'Ouverture.
Cetewayo Captured
Soon after this Cetewayo was captured and kept a prisoner for three years, during which time his country, missing his strong hand, fell into anarchy. Many kings arose, and the tribes were broken up.
At last even his enemies began to demand his return, and Cetewayo was granted his wish to go England to present his case to Queen Victoria.
Acclaimed in England
When he arrived in England he was accorded a reception such as few monarchs have received. The Zulu War had even very unpopular with the people at home. They felt that Cetewayo had only been protecting his land such as would have been expected of any patriot.
They were all the more confirmed in their opinion when they found in Cetewayo not a man-eating savage, as his enemies had declared him, but a gentleman in all that the term implies. Queen Victoria was highly impressed with him, and so was the English-press.
Tribute Paid Him
In the words of ever a white South African Theal (History of South Africa):
"He was received and treated as if he had been a beneficent and civilized ruler who had merely done his duty to his people by heroically endeavoring to protect them against an invading army." Great crowds assembled to bear him wherever he went, deputations from various societies waited on him; he was taken to see places of interest, far and near, in short, he was made the lion of the day such as no white-haired of a third-rate state would have been.
"As guest of the British government he was provided with everything that could tend to his comfort and he was fitted out with clothing in the greatest variety and of the most expensive kind. He appeared in London dressed as an English gentleman and what is wonderful, really, he conducted himself as if he had been accustomed all his life to wear a silk hat and kid gloves. Great as is the power, of imitation of the ordinary African, Cetewayo certainly excelled all his countrymen in this wise.
"Presents of the most incongruous kinds were showered on him, such as gold lockets and cashmere shawls three wargon-loads in all
three wagon-loads, in all
He would have been utterly spoiled
if it had not been that his intense desire to return to Zululand overcame all other feelings and enabled him to keep his senses."
His Kingdom Stojen
Queen Victoria promised to do all that was in her power for him but her ministers, on the demand of the
sin T. Shepstone, governor of Nakal, one of his foes, speaks in the highest terms of his personal character and his indomitable courage. "He was, remarkably frank and straightforward," he says, "with much force of character, and a dignified manner."
Bishop, Colenso and his sister strove hard to win justice 'for him as did others in England. Miss Colenso in a 'remarkable book says, "Coteway's treatment reflected no credit on the name of England."

When Gret Man's growing mind gave him a soul,
The mind was father and the soul
the son.
The soul, subservient to the mind's
control.
Wove webs of hope o'er what the
mind had won.
Swathed and reswathed in many an airy fold.
Man's conquests lost their once clear lineaments.
Till he no more those conquests could behold.
But fixed his eyes on their integuments.
The mind, by dream appearances made blind.
Hath lost its sight, for that which truly is.
And, else, the bounds that it had once assigned.
Unto the soul hath lost and cannot miss.
Thus mind, that once had, the soul
to be.
Now sees but what the soul bids it to see!

No the Editor of the Negro World:
When an autist comes to a "closed place" in the road, he is usually advised to "detour" or go around another way.
Is it possible, that the "brains" of our race has not realized that the road to the 18th, 14th, and 15th Amendments has been "closed" for some time? (Or has it ever been completely passable.) Every student of American history knows that since slavery was abolished in the United States, Negroes were supposed to enjoy every right and privilege that any other citizen enjoys; but the preponderance of racial prejudice has caused this "supposition" to have been continuously nullified.
The day has come when the Negro people as a whole should arise as one man and declare that "taxation without representation is wrong" and if there is to be no relief from such injustice,—demand our freedom and

I loved my husband as I never before became the tenderest and extreme interest he has shown to me. I loved him to help him regain his health. There was no time to be help; something sad to be done, and that ability, the gift of being able to tell the world that my husband is a real human, a man any woman would be proud of.

examption from further taxation in any form; We are fully capable intellectually, industrially, and scientifically of conducting our own affairs; but merely require the internal fortitude* to attempt it. As long as we continue to white and plead for recognition of that portion of the constitution which was unnecessary from the beginning, so long will those whose duty it is to uphold it, ignore our clamoring.
In America, those of us who have been born here should receive the same treatment that any other citizen receives. Not because of the 13th, 14th, or 15th amendment, but because it is fundamentally right and proper that we should be so treated. And when we are denied this treatment it should be regarded as a national disgrace and insult...to be so interpreted by the nation as a whole. When Negroes seek sympathy, and special legislation for their immediate protection, they are voluntarily committing racial discrimination and deserve nothing more than what discrimination has to offer. Let Negro citizens of America act identically the same as any other citizen of America would act, or cause masquerading as a bona fide part of the body politic. To do less is to invite or court disrespect from those we wish to interest.
There is an unwritten law that demands that we treat others as we desire to be treated, such a law is applicable to plaintiff and defendant; it we ignore the existence of same, we cannot hope to enjoy the benefits of it. For Negroes to remain in the South and submit to "jim-crowism" and other forms of social injustice, and simultaneously how about "citizenship" is a farce. Either pit-up and shut up, or get up and get out away from such damnable environments and conditions. We must respect ourselves in order to command the respect of others. Every Negro should -ash himself or herself this question: DO I RESPECT MYSELF?
The program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is the proper answer for all Negroes desiring better conditions, socially, economically, educationally, and politically. White races do not believe Negroes good enough to govern them, and the members of the U.N.L.A. are unitedly dissatisfied with the rule and government of white legislators. A strong black African nation will put an end to this unrest and discontent; it is our duty, our job, and our determination: AFRICA MUST BE REDEEMED!

"Let Africa be free!" The lions guard us on.

PEOPLE MUST BRING
ABOUT OWN FREEDOM
To the Editor of the Negro World: "Wars between nations will end when people come to the realization that they are the tools and the tools of the hidden war-makers; when the peoples become actually free; when they have shaken off the hidden power and really govern themselves, then and not until then, will there be world peace."
So spoke Gen. Erich Ludendorff, ex-war lord and militarist, the brains of the imperial German armies in the world conflict, according to Karl H. von Wierand writing in the Sunday Examiner of May 12, 1929. In part he said: "Drag out into the light the war-makers and let the people see them!"
But we of the Negro race would say: Drag out all the traitors of our race and expose them to the masses, when they have misled and deceived, after they will take to their holes against Lundedoff says: "I do not want the shielding of blood. But if a people arise as one man there will be no bloodshed. Those who have deceived and exploited the people will run for their holes; and be glad to get away."
So it will be with those who have exploited and oppressed the suffering Negroes. Let four hundred million of us stand together as one man and instead of making them 'take to their holes,' they will run on past them. General Ludendorff is endeavoring to reform civilization, but like all true reformers, he must fight. he must have enemies. In government and high places he is friendless. His only adviser and true friend is his wife. So it is with our great leader, the Hon. Marcuus Gracey; in all of his troubles, his wife has been a true Joan of Arc. All mankind is now looking forward to true brotherhood and world peace--Fellow Negroes bear theirselves.

"PROMOTION"
By COL. J. W. BELLAMY
Promotion comes to him who sticks,
into his work and never kicks.
Who watches neither block nor run,
To tell him when his task is done.
Who tolls not by a stated chart,
Defining to his job a part.
But gladly does a little more,
Than he is recommenced for.
The man in factory or shop,
Where is quickly to the top.
Is he who gives what can't be bought,
Intelligent and careful enough;
Promotion comes to him who tries,
Not solely for a selfish prize;
But day by day, and year by year,
holds his employer's interest dear.
Who measures not by what he earns,
The sum of labor he returns;
Nor counts his day of toiling through,
Till he has done all he can do.
His strength is not of muscle bread.
Out of the heart and all the head.
The man who would tighten atlain,
Must demonstrate he has a brain.

A Fatal Accident
With deep regret we announce the death of Edward White of Canterbury Baguanos, Oriente, Cuba, who was killed by a wreck on the railroad where he was a brakeman when a water tank fell on him on the night of May 19th. He died on May 19th. Mr. White was a member of the Legion of The Baguanos Division, No. 862. The captain of Legion, Mr. J. N. Jackson, along with the president, Mr. T. C. Barke, and the other auxiliaries, demonstrated with the greatest satisfaction at the funeral while the ex-Chaplain, Mr. D. S. Walford, performed the burial ceremonies.
The coffin was wrapped in the banner of the Red, Black and Green, and Legionnaires bore it to the cemetery.
This vicinity mourns his loss, and hopes when time shall be no more, we shall meet him beyond the river, on that bright and golden shore.
355 Lenox Avenue, New York City, Dear Sir:
A word, of, congratulation is due you and your staff for the remarkable improvement noted in your indispensable weekly, "The Negro World." Not only have your form and general make-up been made more attractive and well-balanced, but also your new and much valued features in the illustrated section and elsewhere have made of the Negro World the invariable position which it held formerly—the outstanding Race journal.
Keep up the good work, for the Negro World was, and still continues to be—the Voice of the, Awakened Negro.
Faithfully.
