Sixth International Convention Greatest Conclave in History of Negroes Stirs Humanity
GET READY FOR THE CONVENTION — ALL ROADS WILL LEAD TO KINGSTON, JAMAICA, B. W. I.
We are fast approaching the time when we will hold our next Annual International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World, at which the vital issues of our race will be considered and legislated for. It is known everywhere that the only serious world convention of Negroes is that held under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, where not sectionalism is discussed nor narrow-mindedness but where representatives of the race from all parts of the world congregate to give information to each other about world conditions as they affect us as a people, and to legislate against them for our general uplift and improvement. It is fully realized that if the Negro is to be saved, it cannot be done in sections, but as a whole, and it is for that reason that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is linking up the 15,000,000 Negroes of America with the millions of Negroes in the West Indies, South and Central America, Canada and Africa, so that all of us can co-operate and work for the common good. We believe that it is only by the congregation of this great scattered whole that we can help the scattered minorities as they exist among other peoples, abused, downtrodden and oppressed.
Our Sixth International Convention will surely go down in history as the greatest of all our assemblages, because thereat we are going to have presented to us, in an intelligent and elaborate manner, those important issues that we must decide before we can march ahead toward progress. This will not be a convention on paper nor a convention of men who speak only from their lips, but it will be a gathering, serious and determined in its import, which shall not fail to make its impress upon the thoughtful minds of the world. It is known everywhere that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is a serious organization, struggling not for a change of our racial complexion, but for the development of a strong racial character. We are unlike other Negro movements, because we are true to ourselves. We feel that the Negro's place in the world will be fixed by himself, and it will be one of no mean order. We are going to fix a permanent place of empire, an empire upon which other men will not heap scorn and abuse, but will take pleasure in respecting because of the reflection of its higher civilization, culture and humanity.
The Negro Is Humane
The Negro, as everybody knows, is a humane creature. He loves justice. He loves peace. He is ever ready to bestow charity; hence, the free and liberal world is bound to accept the Negro of the future with open arms into the confraternity of nations and peoples working for a higher ideal. As Negroes, we are setting our aims and objects high. They are as high as the mount of human elevation. We ascend where other men ascend. We climb where other men climb, and we shall rest where other men in the highest accomplishment of all that is possible to humanity shall rest. Not until then.
Universal Negro Improvement Association Eternal
Yet, the Universal Negro Improvement Association is eternal, because it seeks to take the Negro into the possession of those things that are desired by all mankind for man's happiness, for man's pleasure, for end

man's comfort, and that reaches to the end of time. Man seeks not comfort and happiness for a day, but he desires to perpetuate it even as long as life lasts. So we are going to work for the accomplishment of this high aim, and we call upon the four hundred million Negroes to rally behind this august organization and help us put the program over. The fellow who lacks backbone, initiative, purpose, racial, samina and character will naturally say that it is impossible for Garvey and his crew to accomplish the idea of empire. But why should we waste time about the improperly educated men who have not benefited by their knowledge of history?
Races That Have Climbed to Empire
The black race is not the first that has made an effort to climb the heights of and pinnacle of empire. Other races less favored than the Negro of today started to climb, and reached higher pinnacles than ever we aspired to. Didn't the Briton, the slave of the Roman, make an effort to climb, and did he not climb out of the clutches of he merciless and heartless slave master to the heights of British imperialism that now sways the world? If it were not impossible for the Briton to climb to the heights of empire, why should it be impossible for the Negro of the twentieth century to climb likewise? But these so-called intellectual and educated fellows who have been fooling the people and working for the advancement of their own selfish selves will now realize that the common people are looking at history in the light of modern intelligence, and will not take their instructions and information from those who cannot profit by the experience of the past. What is there impossible about nationalism for the race? Is nationalism impossible to the French? Is nationalism impossible to the Englishman, to the German or Italian? Then why is nationalism to be impossible to the Negro? Has not the Negro the same feelings, passions and desires as other men? Surely so, and with these desires, passions and ambitions we are going to rise to great heights, and the Negro who says "No" may as well hang his head in shame and be satisfied to get out of the race
The Builder of Nations
The working men of other races, not philosophers, have made their nations. The working men of the Negro race shell yet restore Ethiopia to her ancient glory. Among Negroes this is not the age for philosophers. This is the age for workers. Philosophers are naturally the luxury of a developed civilization. We cannot afford to indulge in luxuries now at the expense of our progress. The philosopher may find a place among the people whom he loves so much, the great, white race, because he can live in the atmosphere for which he trains himself. That atmosphere he will not find among Negroes of progressive intelligence. To us, moderns of the Negro race, we are not so much interested in the philosophies of Socrates or Plato, but we are interested more in the philosophy of human needs. We are interested in the philosophy of feeding hungry men. We want, therefore, not so much the "literary philosopher" as the industrial philosopher. We want our Bismarck, our Hugo Stinneses, our John D. Rockefellers, our Carnegies, our Henry Fords. Among us Negroes such men are worth ten million philosophers, because they are men who produce, not fellows who consume
Industrial Leaders Coming
So our convention for 1929 will bring to our industrial leaders who will naturally lay the foundation for the stronger and more secure Negro industrialism. With such leaders we will march on until we have successfully built up the world industrialism that shall not fail to bring all else with it. It is not so much our politics and our society as our industry. After a people have established successfully a firm industrial foundation, they naturally turn to politics and society, but not first to society and politics, because the two latter cannot exist with our the former. So instead of the conceited, self-important Negroes trying to think that they are socially better than any one else, and remaining in that farcical attitude, it is best that we all come to the one level and realize that our first duty is to get together and build a race that will appreciate itself, but not become to be distinctive when there is no distinction.
Members of the Race Should Help
As members of the race, we are going to work everywhere to help make this convention a glowing success. Everybody can do it, and specially if everybody will contribute to the Convention Fund. Why shouldn't every Negro give to the Convention Fund of the Association for 1929 and make it the biggest thing ever held. The Association needs money to push through its program, and now the call is made for each and every one interested to respond. Yea, we appeal to you all over the world. Let our appeal not fall to the ground. Let us put it over. With very best wishes, I have the honor to be

When the Scota under Bruce, not the English hosts at Bannockburn, they prayed, and their prayer was answered; but it was not prayer like as many of our Negro people are accustomed to doing. When the Scota hall knelt to prayer they rose to battle, and history tells us that on that historic day thirty thousand determined Scotmen defeated one hundred thousand Englishmen, who were encroaching upon the home of their fathers.
We feel that the time has come for plain speaking to our fellow Negroes; and to make ourselves more readily understood, we ask the permission of the editors and publishers of the "Nautilus" to quote this bit of truth to the race of Negroes:
"There is no God upon some star,
Or far-off world that governs men.
God is no autocrat so far
As that beyond a mortal's ken.
My spirit would grow crushed and faint.
Neath so despotic a decree;
And so the God most preachers paint.
Could never be the God for me.
How could a God in yonder skies;
This throbbing heart in me control?
The only God I recognize.
Is that which dwells in my own soul
Here he hath dwelt since worlds-began.
Unheeded and unloved, alas!
But now that I accept his plan,
All that I ask He brings to pass.

And when this great race of Negroes comes to a realization of the truth stated above, to an understanding that God is the power within their souls, then lynching will cease automatically in Georgia; lynching will cease everywhere, for the Negro will make it cease, instead of sitting lazily by, and waiting for God to work a miracle for him, when he already has been given the power for all his needs.
Yes,—and when this realization takes hold of the Negro, as it is our business to make him know it, you will awaken one morning to find that the same, lazy, shiftless, and no-account Negro as his detractors call him now, will have lifted himself above servitude and its kindred limitations, and marching to victory, like the SCOTS at BANNOCKBURN, will have freed his fatherland, Africa.
THE DAILY WORKER ATTACKS GARVEY AND THE U.N.I.A.
It was rather surprising a few days ago to read an article in "The Daily Worker," the organ of the Communist Party, attacking Marcus Garvey, and predicting a hot and galling fight in the Sixth International Convention between factions of the U. N. J. A.
The situation is exceedingly painful in view of the fact that we had given credit to the editors of The Daily Worker "for good, common, horse-sense, sense of fair-play, and a devotion to truth." But the vision fades. One has only to read through the vicious article to note the spirit and the hidden hand of Jacob.
We do not intend to belittle our sense of dignity and honor to engage in a controversy with those whose acts prove they are not foemen worthy of our steel, and who do not care a hang for truth.
People who live in glass houses should never throw stones. The Daily Worker had better look to its own interests. We know that they have troubles of their own, without trying to tackle our troubles. Therefore we have not time to waste with gasters and spouters. We live and work for the uplift of the Negro, and the redemption of Africa; and we are here saying to the Communist Party that if Africa is to be redeemed it will be, and must be done by Africans, and by Africans alone. We will not be ungrateful to our friends; but if any friend wants us to pull their chestsins from the fire to our hurt, then we have reached the parting of the way. Son, Adies!

VOL. XXV. NEW YORK, SATURDAY JULY 20, 1929 No. 24
AS CONVENTION LOOMS
We are standing today on a spot from whence we are able to look as from an eminence, and view the coming and going of events that will mar or make us.
There looms up among the shadows of the things that are forecasting their coming, the greatest convention in the history of the Negro Peoples of the World. Negroes of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, under the leadership of that illustrious son of Africa, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, pin their hopes upon the results of the decisions made at that convention; for it is expected that from-out of the discussions and deliberations at that convention there will come a definite and clean cut program, and a common understanding, not only among the members of the great U. N. I. A., but among the Negroes of the world; so that there will henceforth be one common purpose and one common movement towards the realization of the dream which, even the most aloof, the most cowardly, skeptical, and the bitterest enemies of Marcus Garvey hope for in secret, the coming of the day when this race of Negroes, freed from every form of thraldom, and serfdom, and oppression, shall emerge victorious upon the plains of the fatherland. Africa.
Because of this desire on the part of the Negroes all over the world, not mattering who they be, or how they seem to be outspoken in their antagonism to the U. N. I. A., we are feeling great emotions rising up in our hearts, we are seeing bright and stirring visions, and we are hearing the voice of Infinity speaking to us out of the Great Unseen, bidding us go forward to the conquest, to the victory we so earnestly desire; and which we are willing to sacrifice everything for, even life itself, that Africa might be free.
Great and Invisible forces pervade the fathomless ether around us. Infinite and vast silences charge our being with a sterner hope and a deeper desire for the realization of the dream of our fathers, the dream which we have taken up in our daily lives; and now every force in theiverse calls to the Negro Peoples of the world, saying in unmistakable Africa Must Be Free. We catch new grains of a fairer We hear new music to charm our feet and stir our hearts as we forth under the skies in this Twentieth Century day, to the stirring of the clans, to the greatest of conclaves, the greatest in importance to any race of people, since the world began.
Never before in the history of humanity did any convention; or any other kind of gathering of humans mean so much to so large a number of earth's mortals. This convention will decide the destiny of a race. It will be a decision given to the world, telling whether the Negroes themselves believe that they are worthy to live, fit to survive, or whether we are afraid to die for that which we feel is needful, more needful than the very life itself. Not by any chance must we falter in making our demands known to humanity, during and after this great convention; and we shall not fail to make that great decision.
We Negroes realize that on account of the decisions that we shall be called upon to make during the next few weeks some of us will have to pass through the Valley of the Shadow of Death; some of us will be called upon to make the supremest sacrifice that man can ever be called upon to make. We realize that there are going to be stern and trying days ahead. We feel certain that the hand of the oppressor might tide to tighten. We know that the enemies of Negro-Progress will be marshalling their forces to thwart the success of our undertaking. But let all these dire contingencies come; they will find the Negroes ready; for as we have often said before: "How can man die better, than facing fearful odds, for the ashes of his fathers, and the temples of his Gods?" Therefore as the shadow of the great convention looms before our mental vision, we cross our hearts, in Irish fashion, and say forward. Negroes, forward to victory. Forward to the realization of your dreams. There is dawning the day for which we have longed, when the stern strong soul of the Negro will again be put to the test, when he will again bestir himself, after the long hull of the centuries; and shall again chart the way to Negro greatness and Negro manhood. Negro courage, Negro devotion, Negro industries, Negro commerce. Negro achievements in every line of human endeavor, and to enlighten again the skies of the new era with a glory greater than the glory that was Carthage.
THE ANSWER TO OUR PRAYERS
So much has been spoken and written about Negroes and their prayers, and so many of the writers and speakers have given expression to the belief that the ills to which the Negro is subject are due largely to the fact that the Negro prays too much, that being Negro, we are impelled to say something too.
Our observation has demonstrated to us the fact that "Man is the answer to his own prayers." That is, man being the controller of his own destiny, must first know what he wants, what he wants to be, what he wants to do, and then having calmed his soul by prayer, in communion with the Great Unseen force of the Universe, step to bring to pass a realization of his dreams and his prayers.
Observation has further revealed to us the fact, as also it has been revealed to thousands of other wide-awake sons and daughters of Ham, that the trouble with the Negro is not that he prays too much, but that it must cases out of teh, when he says he is praying, he doesn't know what he is praying for. In the majority of cases we go through a series of meaningful expressions, hypocritical largely, and then try to inside Nature and Nature's God" for not giving the desires of his heart; when all the time he has the power within him, to make that dream reality, to answer his own prayer. When we want to fell a tree we will upon God for strength to master that tree, then we shoulder our own back at the spot of that tree; and continued cutting results in the fall of that tree. So it is with everything in life, we must tackle

Mr. Knox was unable to speak at length on account of throat trouble. However his remarks were timely.

Mr. Johnie Mee Bryant, the Valedictorian, made a wonderful impression upon the audience as she delivered the address.
Miss-Gregory Ann Dicke sang the well known melody "Deep River." Miss Jla Purdy was the pianist for the evening.

Mr. Editor of The Negro World:
Please allow me a space in The Negro World.
We have flow reached the point that if we are to save, the race we must lay a foundation to build upon that will make us a race worthy of respect. We must get something of our own; not to continue to live by what the other races have laid for us, but we must lay our own foundation to build on. And we need at this time real men and women—thinking men and women to carry on.
We want Africa free so we can live like people. We have been treated worse than any race of people and it is time for it to be stopped. God did not intend for the black race to be slaves always; but it is up to us if we are satisfied with our conditions then God will have nothing to do with us. Because He gave us what He gave, all other races, and if we don't save ourselves it is up to us, not to God.
I thank God that some of us have begun to think of racial uplift. We, the black women must go side by side with our black men if we are to save the race. For 400 years the black women have been treated like dogs. We must start to work now for a pure race if we want to gain respect from other races of people.
The white race is watching us. They know when we are on the right track. They know that as long as black men are satisfied with them to do away with the purity of the black race, then they will say they don't know what it takes to build a nation.
Every race that has founded a Government that stands for something has done it by purity. And that is what we have to do, and we must organize to fight against impurity.

To the Editor of the Nerro World:
To the Editor of the Negro World:
Permit me a little space in your valuable paper, to say a few words of congratulation to the new man to the front, in person of R. T. Brown, for his article of June 22nd "Shoulder Arms."
Any Negro who has read such an article has to confess that indeed the sleeping Negro has availanced to tell the world that he is the greatest factor to be dealt with as far as Africa is concerned. Reading, such an article given those of us who are in the ranks of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, more determination to attack closer to the ranks; and those who are not yet in the ranks, are compelled to stop and murder why they are not units in the ranks.
We Negroes the world over need not be afraid to die, for it is better to die in the ranks of the N. U. N. A. fighting for that liberty that would make our children breathe freely, than to live to watch their sufferings under the feet of injustice. Let us all hope that the great editor will give us "each weak such inspiration of thoughts so that we might ever have that energetic force to "Shoulder Arms," to clear the way to Africa's redemption.
Yours ever for the cause Afric.

Please permit me space in your valuable paper, to express a few words if befid of U. N. I. A.
What use will the Redemption of Africa be to us without unity and love. We are working for a free and redeemed Africa; but we need the cooperation of these two virtues: unity and love.
If you study the Universal Negro Improvement Association carefully, you will find that the foundation is love. The Hue. Marcus Garvey has suffered greatly for his race, and all through love.

"Hot Chocolates is one of the best dancing groups these eyes have seen in years. Individual and ensemble. The costumes in a revelation; a delight to the orbs. Stunning. I particularly admired the salmon colored outfit.
The girls are easy to look at. Beautiful creatures. In feet there is not a homely person in the whole ensemble. They dance. They sing. They perform acrobatics. Can you remember how many colored shows you've seen that included this novelty? None that I can recollect.

many times she was accompanied in any of the twelve wives. Many one is accompanied, had an equal chance to display his or her ability. Baby Cox is a cute little trick. She has the ability to succeed the late Florence Mills in the hearts of the theological gown. If Baby would add another to pay the undue more attention instead of centering it on her partner and co-workers, Mrs. Cox's little girl would be loved. Play up to 'em, Baby.' "Jaslips" Richardson, the outstanding star has a repertoire all his own. It wins him spontaneous applause. "Jaslips" mixes his dancing with acrobatic stunts and a droll manner that is a unique gift to the profession. Billy Higgins, Eddie Green, and Jimmy Baskette, well known comedians supply their usual surefire line.
Edith Wilson (blackened up) impressed me with her rendition of "Black and Bye." Rather melancholy. Sad. Still. I was sad with you. She repeated a number later (after scrubbing her face and hands) "My Man Is Good for Nothing but Love," with Lolita Armstrong and Thomas Weller. It was a treat. The best number is "Ain't Misbehavin'," the hit of the show. It was sung by lovely Margaret Simms and Paul Bass. I'm humming this tune yet; to the annoyance of my family. Trying to tenor like Paul Bass. Impossible. This boy has a rich sweet voice that is a pleasure to hear.
The production was filled with so many tidy bits that space does not allow me to properly chronicle them. The program ended with "Offtime," sung by Margaret Simms, the Bon Bon Buddies and the entire company dancing to a palpitating, animated finale. "Hot Chocolates" shows the unmistakable hand of Beonaj Harper, who has few superiors in the art of staging shows.
The lyric is by Andy Razaf. Music by Thomas Waller and Harry Brooks. It has a cast of 85 artists, including Wooding's Jubilee Singers, Leroy Smith and his orchestra. The Sixteen Hot Chocolate Drops and the Eight Bon Bon Buddies.
Having succeeded Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds" on Broadway, "Hot Chocolates" will no doubt enjoy a long run. Not satisfied with the production, it seems, the management strengthens it from week to week. It's getting better and better. Worth the price.

Bermudian Cricket Stars Due Here On August 5th
Bermudian Cricket Stars Due Here On August 5th
The greatest aggregation of cricket luminaries from the Bermudians will be in our midst August 5th. The islands have been literally combed for defenders to uphold the cricket tradition of these beautiful isles.
The playing ensemble will embark on the third of August, arriving on our shores August 5th. This team will be strong in all departments. Their batting prowess is well known. Repeated visits here have acquainted the fans with their swallowing blades. They go after the ball in a manner to delight the heart of the most exacting spectator.
Thrilling duels with our leading clubs are sure to be enacted. Can we forget that memorable battle, year before last, Bermudians vs. West Indian C. C.
For exciting, tense moments, missed heartbeats, it can only be equated by the same dogged spirit, bulldog grit that enabled the champion West Indian C. C, to hold the Overseas West Indians that visited us last year, to a narrow margin victory.
It was steel against steel, on both occasions. Great games, played by a band of earnest fighting men. The decision, in both instances, was in doubt up to the last moment of play.
This year the Bermudian line-up has been augmented by a few additional stars who have never appeared before the critical gaze of New York's satiated cricket appetite. It is just such an attraction that is needed. The fans are tired of the repetition of matches such as All Barbados vs. the West, West Indians vs. St. Kitts, etc., ad nauseum.
Cricket seems to be dying a lingering death. The wrong men have been at the head of the syndicates, supplying the jaded appetites of New York's sporting fraternity with cricket fodder. Too much self was injected. These avaricious gentlemen can clap themselves on the back and compliment each other on their success—in practically killing the interest of those devoted to the game. It is with genuine deep feeling, with open arms, we welcome the advent of the Bermuda Sporting Club, sponsor of the witting Bermudian cricket combine. At last cricket will be handled in the right manner. We have waited so long.
This body is a group of sportsmen, real sportsmen, bonn fide sportsmen, not rapacious, self-centered Shylocks like their predecessors.
"The line-up of the invading cricket aggregation is as follows: From Somerset, the Hunte brothers, Amon, Alma and Eric, Philpot and Simons. From Hamilton, Sammy Tucker and E. Gilbert. From St. Georges, Watson and Steede. Steede is reputed to be the premier trudder of the Bermudas. On the different occasions the pick of New York cricket eleven toured Bermuda, he gave our boys a world of trouble. "This un is good"—that's what the beat of our players say of him. We'll see. Joe and Ed. Swainson are members of the visitors playing personal that I failed to mention above. The umpire will be Arthur Woodgate. Scorer, Darrol Neron.
About seventy-five followers will accompany the team to lend their moral support. Fifty would be travelers were unable to secure reservations on the boat, as the list was already filled. They will no doubt come on an earlier or later ship. Harry Foster and his orchestra is making the trip, on vacation. They will toot a few tunes to liven, up the boys during the progress of the match.
The association will be domiciled at the Hotel Bancroft for the entire duration of their stay here.
The first match is scheduled for Thursday, August 8th. Visitors va. All Anasag, Saturday, August 10th. Visitors va. Fifth of New York League, Sunday, August 11th. Visitors va. St. Kitts C. C. All matches will be played at St. Kitts Park during the month of August. The complete schedule, now being arranged, will be printed in next week's issue of this paper.
The officers of the Bermuda Sporting Club are: Harley Fox, president; Charles Lee, vice president; Wilbur Duerdan, treasurer; Vincent Lee, secretary; Webster Hinson, cashier. Mr. J. B. Williams is the able manager of the club.
Headquarters of this body is located at 200 West 131st street, New York City, with the Calhoun Club.

Cricket Boundaries
"Hold 'em, New York!" That is the cry that when Wochet around the enclosure when the visiting Bermudian cricketers meet our local boys next month.
It is doubtful if an individual team can hold em. Augmented, as they are by men of reputed worth, it will be a herculean teak to hold them in check.
Jamaica C. C. will no doubt give them a hard tussle, Hedley and Holt, premier bats of the West Indies, have accepted the invitation of the Jamaica Club. They are scheduled to sail from Jamaica on the 30th of July, arriving here on the 6th of August.
With two such powerful blades to assist them, Jamaica's strength cannot be underestimated. What a game it will be—Wot a goome!
And Still They Come!
With palpitating hearts we near of more issued cricketers coming over, Constantine and George Johns, Trinidad aces, will arrive on the 15th of August. Glory be! It has always been our wish to play against men of this calibre, before we passed off this mortal sphere. Our hopes are about to be realized. Just think of Mrs. Lewis's little boy Darold, folding cover-point against these mighty cane-ones.
Sky Rockets
Talking about hard hitting. Do you remember Felix Brathwaite? He was *Cleaners'* C. C. old star. He could swipe with the best of them—the only man I ever knew who could repeatedly lift a ball from the earth. Geo, how it would zoom. Up, and up, and up; an infinitesimal pause, then it would drop, straight down, in mid wicket. Fow batmen can do that repeatedly. You have to acquire the knuckle. Felix had it. Eatter up! The man is out.
C. litle C. C. on Board
On the Fourth of July this scribes accompanied Carlisle to Fall River, Mass. The night they embarked no provender had been carried aboard the steamship Commonwealth. Word was brought down that they would eat at 8:00. The boys were raring to go at 9:00. You ought to have heard "I'm grumble." "Tell me the greatest port, poder!" Herbert Seals beseeched. Daddy bounced the fact that he had left his peas and rice at home. How they did grumble! Being somewhat poeticist myself, I deserted, invaded the crew's quarters and had a big steak sandwich. You've got to know how!
Big Tucker and Outbridge will supply the comedy next month at the matches. I observed the latter with a large conch shell limbering up his thyroid glands at Van Cortland Park last Sunday. He will encourage his "Onions" with whistle, conch shell and vocal organs. It will be Tucker on one side and Outbridge on the other. Both are well known figures in the sporting world. Tucker represents St. Kitts.

I HOOSE of you who were unable to go over to Ebbets Field last Wednesday evening to witness the gala attractions that was staged there, sure did miss something. Not to be able to deflect back over your memory, and draw a mental moying picture of Kid Chocolate, paying his fistic respects to Ignacio Fernandez, surely you will have something worthy of missing from your storehouse of memories.
The Kid put up the best fight of his career. Talk about the exhibition, the original Joe Gans use to put up, I want to say, I have never seen a better presentation of boxing skill, mixed with effective punching and gameness, ever before. And as much as I love the game, to have missed this rare treat and to have been forced to listen to some one tell me about it would have made me fall out;
The Kid entered the ring full of confidence, smiling at the pressmen and those that would call to him. Undoubtedly he was in the best of fighting form. It is evident that taking him out in the country to do his training was the wisest thing that could have been done. Fresh as a cucumber he struts out to the center of the ring to receive the referees' instructions, showing no cares or worries at all. This little ceremony over, back to his corner, he shed his bathrobe, does an up and down on the ropes, shakes hands with his manager, bends his head and makes the sign of the cross.
These corner formalities over, the bell is sounded, to start another epic in the history of prize fights. No sooner had they met in the center of the ring and shaken hands, than Chocolate started shooting his left jab with the precision of a piston rod; never missing its marks.
Every second or two Ignacio's head was sent back. About the middle of this round the Kid sent over a right cross to the Philippine's jaw, that stopped him right dead in his tracks; but this fellow from the Fiji Islands is such a tough bird that all he did was to shake off the effects of this punch that would have split any other featherweight in the business today, and continued to bore in. The Kid used him for a punching bag for the rest of the nine rounds. All this Hawaiian had was a wild left swing; But Chocolate caught this in the air with his glove, thus rendering his opponent helpless without his main artillery.
Oh, boys, I could go on and on telling you of the exciting moments that were present during this battle of the roped arena. When Chocolate's hand was raised at the end of the tenth round, acclaiming him the winner, the crowd went wild. Everybody was registering their approval for his wonderful exhibition against an opponent that was considered to render him non-combatant.
BRING on Al Singer or Routin. I think Chocolate in just dying to meet either of them. As a drawing card the Kid has them all skinned; and should be given the biggest end in any combat.
We cannot close our column without paying our respects to Black Bill, for the stand up fight he made against Phil Tobias.
Finally this shows that Bill's present manager has the right idea.

Jack Johnson, world's former heavyweight champion, appears to be still in the best of condition. He gave a two-round exhibition at the Orangeburg training camp with Johnny Urban of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, who is considered to be a very good fighter. He is young and strong, but Jack pulled the same trick on him that he did on James Jefferies at Reno, when he fought him for the Heretofore Bill resorted to ashy boxing. He was a sensation at it. The stunts he used to pull on the ropes, no other one could attempt. He used to bewilder all of his opponents, but fancy stuff in the ring is pass to today; and making Bill stand up and fight will get him way up.
Lots of fight fans' thought that Bill could not punch. Well, he shattered all their thoughts last. Wednesday evening for he dropped Tobias about five times. I was very much pleased with his work and he keeps he it up. As long as he listens to his manager, who, by the way, is Chocolate's manager also, he will surely accomplish his ambition. Bring on Izzy Schwartz. Where did the corporal go? I thought that Joss McMahon had this match served up. What happened Jess? Did Izzy grab a slip-out? If he did force him to it. What Bill's manager should do, is to place a challenge with the boxing commission. This probably will make Mr. Schwartz toe the line.
SAY, fellows, do you know this boy, Armando Santiago? No, well whenever you see his name on a card make it your business to go and see him.
I learnt that he grew up in the "sixteens" and is only a young fellow. Ask me if he can punch and I'll say can a "Korse fly." He met one, Tony Pelligino, in the semi-normal to the Kid Chocolate-Fernandez bout: and believe me Armando must have had a date of heavy pressure; for he tore into Tony just like he was about to eat a dish of spaghetti; and with the third punch sent him down for a count of six. He managed to pull himself up for all the good it did him, for he was not up three seconds before he was sitting down on the canvases stunned.
This was indeed quick work for Santiago, for whom I wish all the luck in the world. The fireworks all over, the boys from up Harlingen way.
championship, that of catching Urban's right arm in the air while attempting to land one on Jack's jaw, and forcing his arm, behind his back, demonstrating that he still possesses bull-like strength. Everybody was well pleased with this marvel and stated that although Jack is about fifty-two years old, they were inclined to believe he could give any of the present crop of heavyweights a good fight.
and other parts Afric, left the park feeling very good; all their boys had turned the tables once again.
The ride back home, is a little longer from the field than from the Queensboro Stadium; but people do not mind the journey when they are satisfied.
THE boys in Harlem have long been waiting to see their idol and knock-out artist, Lou Williams, in action.
Lou has had quite a few fighters lately, but they were all so far off, that we poor boys who live in upper Manhattan could not make the grade. But, now that he is going to appear at Ebbsfelt field next Wednesday evening, July 17th, I know we will be southbound.
Remember two weeks ago I picked Williams as the outstanding light heavyweight. I did this on past performances as it has not taken him more than three rounds to put the anore on an opponent since he has been fighting in the east, and they do not feed him setups either.
Show me the colored boys that get easy marks and I'll show you the ears of the Shark that swallowed that Jew.
Mr. James McMahon will you please give us a little of George Godfrey. What's keeping him outside? All the heavyweights seem to be plugging away.
Tell me, are they afraid of Mr. Godfrey? Send me the low down on thin, will you please? as I know you must realize his pulling power against the best of the lot today. Give him a break.
Have you ever heard of a necklace—made for a man's throat? Well, Reggie Allder, "Sultan of Swat," claims there is, Joseph Trinidad's speed demon was hammering them down against West Indian C. C.
Marvelous Love Story Of A Black Queen
How the Dark, Comely Queen of Sheba Captivated King Solomon by Her Compelling Beauty and Intelligence. It was Love at First Sight, Then a Life of Mutual Devotion that Defied Destruction
By J. A. ROGERS
"I am black but comely.
Oh ye daughters of Jerusalem
As the tents of Kedar,
As the curtains of Solomon,
Look not upon me because I am black
Because the sun that scorched me."
(Song of Solomon)
OUT of the mists of three thousand years, there has come down to us this most beautiful love story of the ancients—how the black queen of a mighty empire attracted by the fame and wisdom of a great Judean monarch, made a long journey to see him, and how each fall deeply in love with the other at first sight.
Here is the story as it is told in the Kebar Nagast.
The Kebar Nagast, or the Glory of Kings, is the chronicle of the reign of centuries of Ethiopian Kings prior to the Queen of Queen Abyssin, it dates back to the dimest antiquity, and is written in the original Ethiopian, which is the mother of our alphabet.
During the reign of Queen Victoria, an English expedition under Lord Napier invaded Abyssinia, defeated the king, Theodore, and took the Kebar Nagast to England, where it was placed in the British Museum.
In 1872 while a British admiral was visiting the Emperor Menelik II, the admiral, in part asked Menelik whether he would like him to take any message to Queen Victoria. On this the Empress Taitu, consort of Menelik, said:
"Yes, say to her that her soldiers have taken from us a Book that we hold most dear—a Book necessary to the orderly governing of our kingdom—the Book of the Queen of Sheba, of Solomon, and their son, the Emperor Menelik I, Our Book! I pray to God that she returns it."
The message was delivered, and the Kebar Nagast, in due time, was returned to its old place in the Ethiopian archives. On it is now the following inscription:
"Returned by the British Museum, Dec. 14, 1872."
It might also be noted that the word "Sheba" is the ancient name of Abyssinia. The Sheblans, or Shebans, did not call themselves Ethiopians. That word was coloned by the Greeks and meant the "Land of the Blacks, or Burnt Men." The Sebans, were descendants of Seba, son of Cush, and grandson of Ham. Seba founded the Seban Empire some 4,000 years before the Queen of Sheba. Another grandson of Ham, Nimrod, "the mighty hunter before the Lord," founded the great Assyrian Empire (Gen. 10, 6-10).
The descendants of Cush who went into Africa became blackened by the sun, while those who remained in Asia retained their yellow complexions. Some two thousand years later the Sebans, or Ethiopians, extended their power into Asia, conquering the land of the Asiatic Cushites.
It is not known just how far their empire extended, but this fact is certain: the Ethiopia or Abyssinians ruled in Arabia until 570 A. D.

when they were driven out by Mahomet.
The Ethiopians enjoyed tremendous prestige. More than once they were masters of Egypt, and they made a treaty with the Roman Emperor, Justinian. Homer speaks of them as the wisest of men, the most distant, and the most favored of the gods. Ethiopia was regarded as the ancient Eden by the Greeks.
At the period with which we are about to deal, the Sebuns, or Ethiopians were the most powerful people in what is now known as the Near-East, perhaps in the world.
The Story
The following is a digest of the translation from the Kebar Nagast by Hugues Le Roux, noted French scholar. To this is added parts of the Arabian version.
At the time that the story opens, Solomon, son of David, was filling the East with the glory of his name. He was building the Temple and had sent the messengers to all lands inviting the merchants to come to Jerusalem with their caravans in order that he might buy of them.
He was particularly anxious to get in touch with a famed Ethiopian merchant named Tamarin, and he sent for him Solomon wanted the precious woods, the marble, and most of all, the red gold of Ethiopia.
In due time, Tamarin arrived and from the first was so fascinated by Solomon that after disposing of his wares, he lingered on at Jerusalem. But at last he had to return in order

to give his queen the money he had for her.
On his departure Solomon opened his treasure house and gave Tamarin rich presents for the Queen of Sheba.
Once more in Ethiopia, Tamarin was received in the audience chamber of the Queen, and with all her courtiers assembled, he told of the wonders and splendor of Jerusalem. But his chief praise was centered on Solomon.
"When he speaks, Your Majesty," and Tamarin, "it is with gentleness and humility. He pardons these who commit wrong; the wisdom and fear of God governs his house and his kingdom; proverbs are in his mouth; his voice is as delicious as honey; his beauty excelled that of other men; and everything about him is surprising."
Queen Makeda was extraordinarily impressed. Again and again she called Tamarin to tell her about Solomon, and as often Tamarin had to tell about the wonderful temple Solomon was building; how he received daily between 700 and 800 merchants; and how all that he did was marked with wisdom and knowledge. At last Makeda unable to restrain her curiosity, decided that she would go to Jerusalem herself. Calling her people together she said: "I go in search of knowledge and wisdom. My heart forces me to go; it is wounded by love of wisdom, which is greater than all the treasures of the earth." Accordingly she assembled one of
100
the greatest caravans of all time. In it were 787 asses, mules and camel loaded with some of the choicest treasures of her empire—gold and silver, precious stones, amber, rare woods, perfumes and myrrh.
Solomon, hearing of her visit, had prepared a special apartment for her reception. It was of crystal from the floor to the ceiling. Under the flooring-ran a stream of water. Solomon had heard a certain story about Queen Maltaed and this was a ruse to discover if it was true. He had heard that one of her legs resembled that of a jackass and was covered with hair.
Finally, Makeda with all her train arrived and was conducted into the apartment. Thinking she was stepping into water, she lifted her dress, but King Solomon's attention was so held by the beauty of her face and the magnificence of her apparel that he forgot to look at her legs. The fact is that Makeda had been bitten by a jackal on her leg in her youth and limped a little, which had given rise to the tale.
Makeda had come prepared to admire but what she saw was so vastly greater that she was overwhelmed. The marvelous Temple, not then completed, the gardens of the palace; the arsenals. Never had she seen anything the like of it.
"Your Majesty," she said, "the half has not been told."
Solomon, on his side, too, was not the less impressed. The size of the caravan. The value of the presents Makeda had brought him. "She gave the king, 120 talents of gold, and of spices very great store and precious stones; there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the Queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon."—I Kings, 10:10.
The 120 talents of gold alone was worth $3,680,000—a vastly greater sum in those days.
* Truly a royal present! What must be the wealth and power of a Queen who could make such a gift!
"What is this I beheld? Is it a vision or a living creature?"
Sotaba had built for Makeda a throne covered with carpets of silk, and being with frigates of gold, silver, pearls and diamonds. She sat on this throne by his side as he delivered judgment, and she marvelled at his wisdom.
He gave great banquets for her—the banqueting hall of which was no perfumed with myrrh, galbanum, and incense that one was almost already filled by the odor of them.
She accompanied the king as he went about giving orders for the building of the Temple. She saw him give the measures to the workmen; she saw him balancing the instruments, commanding the carpenters, the marble-workers, the jewelers.
She watched him as he taught the use of the angle and the curved line to his workmen. All passed by his word and his orders were as light in darkness.
Queen Makeda Marvels
The more she saw, the more she marvelled: "My Lord," said the enamored Queen, "you are happy because you are endowed with Wisdom and Knowledge. Would that I could remain here always if but as the humblest of thy workers so that I could hear your word and obey, you!
"How happy I am when I inter-rogate you. How happy when you answer me! My heart is moved with pleasure; my soul is filled; my lips wish to utter noble thoughts; my feet no longer stumble; my whole being thrills with delight.
"Your wisdom and goodness is beyond all measure. They are, excellence itself. Under your influence I place new values of Life; I see light in the darkness; the firefly in the garden reveals itself in a new light to me. I see a new beauty in the pearl; a new brilliance in the star of the morning in the midst of the constellation; in the ray of the moonlight, in the aurora. Blessed be the God who brought me here; blessed be Him who permitted your majestic mind to be revealed to me; blessed be the One who brought me to your house to hear your voice."
And Solomon replied: "Beautiful Queen of the South, I am the happiest of men. Wisdom has been awakened in you for my happiness and yours. The wisdom with which you credit me I hold from God, alone. "Wisdom was already yours, for without knowing the God of Israel you resolved in your heart to come and visit me. You wish to become the humble servant of God. See, I save recared here the TABernacle of
the Ark of the Covenant. I stand before it. I serve the Ark of the Goyenant of the God of Israel, which is Zion, the Holy, the Celestial. I am but the servitor of God. I exist but by His will. I was dust before he formed me in his image, and to dust I shall return.
Displays Wisdom
At that moment a wormman was passing. On his head was wood and on his neck, straw. His sandals hung from his lips and sweat poured down the length of his nude form, Solomon bade the man halt.
Pointing to him, Solomon said: "Do you see any difference between this humble worker and myself? Am I not a man like him? Am I not made of dust the same as he and tomorrow shall I not be a worm even as he?
"Are we not both the sons of Man? What hindered God from giving my glory to, this man and putting in this place? But at this hour this workman has more strength than I to accomplish his particular task, for God comes to the help of the Feeble as He sees fit." Bidding the man continue his work the king went on: "What, good are we if we do not obtain grace by practicing, good, on this earth? For though we wear magnificent clothing, eat delicious food, and clothes ourselves with perfumed garments we are already of the dead by our sin and corruption. Happy are those who repent and fear God."
And Makeda replied: "What joy do your words give me! How like to the droppings of dew are they! Teach me, O teach me more. We of the South worship the Sun as our fathers have taught us, because we believe that: the Sun is the king of all gods.
"But now I wish to worship no longer the Sun, but the creator of the Sun: The God of Israel. Lot the Ark of the Covenant be my guide and that of my descendants and that of the multitude who bow before my country forever."
Sebastian Is captured
But Solomon in all his wisdom was
but Kippen. The only proximity of
the humane Makese stared the map
within him. But Kippen, good friend,
told the king that according to
Bethlehem law a queen could rule
only as long as the ruler remained.
At last came the eye of the city
of his deputy. Sebastian was recruited
in his deputy's service with the Queen

ESSENTIAL THOUGHTS
An individual whose time is being occupied with the routine of life needs some diversion in order to cope successfully with the duties which are still ahead. That being the case some form of recreation is absolutely necessary at intervals.
Work though pleasant it may be has a tendency to exhaust both mind and body, and as every intelligent person is concerned with the span of life there can be no better solution for the renewal of body and mind than recreation. This does not mean rest. The thought implies the entering upon some kind of activity differing from the ordinary work to which one is accustomed.
Many persons are always taking advantage of the opportunity to recuperate. Everyone should be able to find a selection for recreation from walking, sewing, music, reading, gardening, cycling, howing, horseriding, tennis, golf, sawing, cricket, chess, or any other form of indoor or outdoor sport which may have a special appeal to the individual taste. The nature of ones daily occupation must be fully taken into account.
The change of air, the change of scene and the change of ideas are necessary essentials. The diversion should not be taken at random, it should be purposeful with a specific end in view, either in elevating the mind, or imparting strength to the body, restoration of usefulness or developing of the aestheticism. The office worker and others whose duties
With the lynching of two Negro workers within the past week, the International Labor Defense has increased its efforts to build a huge mass-organization to carry on the legal defense of the 15 members of the National Textile Workers Union who go on trial for murder July 28th at Gastonia, N. C., for organizing Negro and white workers in the same union, to fight for better living and working conditions and higher wages. The I. L. D. has received word of the brutal killing of Joe Boxley, an 18 year old Negro worker of Alamia, Tenn., who was lynched by a mob urged on and led by reactionary business interests. This was followed soon afterward by the lynching of William McDaniel, a young Negro worker of North Carolina.
The International Labor, Defense is defending the strikers and strike leaders of Gastonia who were arrested following the raid on their colony by Chief of Police Aderholt, of Gastonia and his benchman who fired into the tents where the strikers were living. Joseph Harrison, a

Poco tiempo, ha llegado hasta mi
ruminación de que tiarto número no
pequeño por ello, de la raza negra
ha propuesto organizarse para fines
economicos y políticos, bajo la
denominación de Asociación Universal
para el Adelanto de la Raza
Negra, llamando a su asno a todos
los grupos de esa raza en el uni-
verso.
Faso a la juventud progresista. Cúmulo de hipocresias,
de frudes, de decepciones y de intrigas. Clase de
elemento que traiciona nuestra organización. Las
masas predominarán destronando el despotismo y
la avaricia.
A mi modo de, ver y pensar no solo me halaga es de brillante idea en que figuran los mios también en pos de una nación independente, sino que me declaro franca y decididamente miembro de dicha organización, tanto mas cuando ella pide aquello que legitimamente pertenecente al elemento negro, la madre patria africana, donde por largo tiempo dominan a manera de colonias unas v de protectorados otras las naciones europeas.
Entrando de lleno en las actividades del presente año, neustra imaginación retiene aún los innumerables contratiempos y decepciones que nuestra organización ha sido objeto en el pasado. El conocimiento de tales causas debiera ponernos en mejor condición para dirijir nuestra barca de redención a puerto seguro.
Al tener conocimiento de este noble ideal muy bien digno de alabanzas, creación de varones hidalgos con rasgos pundonerosos de esforzados luchadores, quienes sin odios ni intrigas tratan de llevar sus miras ante La Lign de Naciones, querienido parangonarse a la dignidad de los puteblos libres, lube de exclamar; Magnifica ideal! Conquienes compartir mejor que con esos hombres que abogan por la libertad 'absoluta' de los suyos?
Si hubieramos determinar la acción que como pueblo debieramos seguir durante el transcurso del presente año, con el objeto de asegurar nuestro éxito en el desarrollo de mayores ventajas, enfaticamente aconsejiamos el descarte de los antiguos directores de la raza, dando paso a aquel elemento contemporaneo que ha adquirido sus lecciones de decepción en la ardua escuela de la experiencia.
Sin dejar de ser cubano y sin dejar de pertenecer aqu a un partido político, patrocinará la causa que defende la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la-Raza Negra, porque es ella una causa noble, justa y generosa.
PEDRO MONTENEGRO.
Nuevo miembro de la División No. 24.
Habana Cuba, julio 10 de 1929.
La Venganza De Los Oprimidos
El infortunio en lo que a nuestra dirección respecta, estriba en que ella es regularmente impuesta y nuestro pueblo no parece aún darse cuenta de la diferencia existente entre esta clase de dirección y la dirección electiva. El ayaro ha de procurarse naturalmente la mejor posición, cuando esta debe ser ocupada solamente por los mas ábiles y a elección del criterio de las masas. En tales circunstancias debemos educarnos y así preparados demostrar a la dirección impuesta que su reinado ha llegado a su término.
Según el criterio de aristocracia racial que profesa Paul Morand, es posible que el mestizaje con indios y negros a que se entregaron los españoles en América fuera un error biológico, digno de ser casigado a perpetua dependencia, como quiere el ilustre vajor francés; pero el hecho es que España no dejo tras si, como otros pueblos colonizadores, graves antagonismos de raza que latín dificil una evolución pacifica y armónica del mundo, en América y en otros continentes. Por lo demas, mi sentimiento patriótico, por legitimo que lo juzgue Paul Morand, no tiene por qué resignarse al hecho consumado de la emancipación parcial de América, pues más de una ve he dicho, en la profia "Agonia Antillana", que en las luchas de la Independencia, de haber, vivido entonces y de pensar como hoy, hubiese tomado el partido de los americanos, como lo tomo hoy contra los dominadores. Ni me duche que España fuera arriada por otras colonizaciones, sino que no sean arriadas todas. Porque yo también como Morand, en la selección individual y colectiva, pero dentro de una libre organización y division del trabajo social e internacional, no como el parece querer, imponiendo un regimen semejista de trabajo sobre los hombres, los pueblos y las razas, con el pretexto de que son de Elase o color inferiores. Ante todo, por sentimiento de justicia y luego, también, por prevision, para evitar, si aún es, tiempo, que un dia las miradas amarillas y negras, en hordas libertas,omen venganza de los blancos, como hicieron los haltianos con los franceses a fines del siglo diez y ocho.
Estudiando detenidamente la dirección de nuestra raza, notamos que cualquier individuo que escriba una carta a un períodoico, haga una manifestación con el objeto de ser publicada o adquiera una posición por medio de una influencia extraña, immediatamente se considera como un gran director y aventajandose de cierto grado de ignorancia de parte de nuestro pueblo, es aceptado incuestionablemente como tal. Esta clase de imposición es la causa del desconcierto entre nuestro elemento, por el hecho de no poscer un programa definitivo. Coino los avaros de todas las edades, se someten el programa de conveniencias, creando la piedra en el camino de cualquier movimiento progresista.
Tal fue la misma clase de dirección que en aquella época y en aquella comunidad se opuso tenazmente a Cristo y a sus ideales. Los tal llamados sabios y doctores combatieron su filosofía y le calificaron de idiota y de intolerable. Ellos no podían ver la bondad ni la promisión de la doctrina que Cristo predicaba; sin embargo, después del transcurso de casi tres mil años, notamos que la misma clase de elemento se a convertido en patrocinadores y predicadores del cristianismo.
Si hubieramos de bacer juicio critico sobre la inteligencia de aquel pueblo que existió en la época del Salvador, dariamos gran crédito y sobradá razón a aquella multitud que con gran atención y mayor revencia, escucho las prédicas de su filosofía divina. La masa común, el tal llamado pueblo ignorante que pudo interpretar el sermón en el Monte Sinaf, demostró mas sentido común y mayor inteligencia que aquellos sabios y doctores que lo répudiaban. A.la luz de la verdad, la filosofía del Cristo ha sido aceptada por el mundo intelectual, como la fuerza ética y moral mas prepotente en el reajuste de la sociedad humana.
Centenares de años hubieron de transcurrir para que los intelectuales se dieran cuenta de ello; pero la masa común se dió cuenta en breves momentos, y como una repetición de la historia, esa misma clase de intelectuales se oponen a otros movimientos reformistas, los cuales tienden a mejorar la condición del pueblo que sufre. No seria necesario enumerar uno tras otro eso movimientos pero hemos de hacer referencia a los ideales de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Rara Negra, los cuales una y otra vez han sido objeto de ataques por parte de los saptemistimó de la rasa quienes, como los de la doca de Cristo, han manifestado que su programa es una prueba irrealizable y sus adeptos la más ignoran. A formentadamus el tiempo será el mejor asign.

Opina Que No Existe La Superhididad
Desde el punto de vista de ananacapación, catoy en la creencia de que ningún hombre blanco es lo suficientemente bueno para governor al hombre negro, y del mismo modo se mantiene mi opicion en cuanto a las demas razas y pueblos del orbe respecta. Nadia a la verdad se rienten justificado de que el pero, extrafio por cierto, es lo bastante buena para establecer reglas bon la exclusión de los derechos raciales de natividad.
Cuando un pueblo llega, a tener deba comprensión de lo que desea y a tener conciencia de cuando deba ser libre; entonces cae pueblo viene a ser igual a los demás, dentro del alto concepto en que los hombres todos son llamados a dirigir sus propios asustimos de una manera directa y responsable.
Es una verdad que economica y cientificamente ciettas razas con mas progresistas que otras; mas ello no implica superioridad. El que el anglo-sajón diga que es superior porque ha introducido submarinos para destruir vidas, o que el tefutón lo sea porque ha compuesto un gas liquido para sobrepujar al otros en el arte de la matanza, y que el negro sea considerado inferior porque no haya alcanzado adelanto en esta dirección, es como decirse uno mismo y por consiguiente a las razas asi atrasadas, que se acojan al precepto bibico "no mataras" tal cual fué el divino mandato que establece el estandarte moral del verdadado homíre.
No existe superioridad en una raza que económicamente monopoliza y retiene todo lo que tiende al sostenimiento de la vida, causando así la desgraza de otras. El más alto propósito seria el de amar y el da compartir con los demás aquellos que la Naturaleza ha puesto en comun a la disposición del genero humano. En ese particular el africano sobrepasa en generosidad, porque da de comer a su somejante y comparte con el mismo el producto de su tierra.
La idea de superioridad racial es cuestionable; sin embargo, tenemos que admitir quebajo el pinto de vista del hombre blanco, el se cree superior a los demás; más esa clase de superioridad es inhumana y peligrosa para que sea pernüentemente provechosa. Esa, tal llamada superioridad (fué alcanzada por otros pílebs anteriormente, y así lo fue por el nuestro cuidado nos orgulleciúnos con la maravillosa civilización en las riberas del Nilo.
La civilización puede solamente tener asciendo cuando hayanmos alcanzado el punto máximo; cuando seanos cada cunal el guardian del otro, o lo que es lo inferior, cuando nos sintamos en estado de puridad para vivir y permitir que los otros vivan. El universo centero es la propiedad del genero humano, y todas y cada una de las secciones de este tíneo perfectismo derrocho a la parte que le corresponde. El negro reclama ahora su patrife en terminos no comprometedores.
La Asociación Universal Para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra representa las aspiraciones y esperanzas del negro progresista. Anheja un sitio apropiado para el enaltecimiento de la raza negra en el mundo; una nación con un goiberro donde pueda disfrutar de libertad política; donde no se perturbada social, económica o industrialmente; donde se ignore el prejuicio y los distingos humillantes.

The physicians are very confident that the raise will be approved.

NEW ORLEANS, L. June 16, AND—The New Orleans Tollway dated June 17, says collectively: "Add three, more men, two white men and one colored, to the long list of those who have saved lives on Lake Ponchartrain, that beautiful but temperamental water. Ogden McConnell and Junior Rafter of Spanish Fort, and Vance Ravens, colored, employee of a Spanish Fort restaurant, rescued a fisherman from plights near the lighthouses where he climbed after his boat foundered, and where was in imminent danger of drowning. They risked their own lives on the effort for it, seemed that no shifl could float in the turmell. We congratulated each of the three for this act of men."
A YOUNG MAN'S NICHES
A young man with health, a good mind, some education and the ability to direct his own energies systematically is richly equipped to conquer fortune. To him, a million dollars would be a handicap rather than an asset, for he would lack the spur of necessity to drive him up and on to personal achievement. To a man thus endowed, life has a rosy morning and hope rides with the sun!
Miss Bantrye Brown, graduate of 1884, received two qualifications in the State Civil Service and work, yet for the Liberty Department of Albany, which she declined, and one for the State Education Board in New York City, which she accepted. Miss Brown is also No. 13 in the State college register list, which examination was taken in January of this year.
