All of us who invested in the Black Star Line knew well that we were but making an effort to bring our race to the forefront, which entailed a great deal of experimentation, with possible loss, of which some of us were conscious. In the real sense, there can be no loss in anything connected with the general uplift of the race, as promoted through the efforts of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The Universal Negro Improvement Association looks forward always to the complete accomplishment of its aims, even though it reaches into posterity yet unknown; for anything connected with it to fail must mean the complete failure of the entire Negro race, which is not a reasonable possibility. When the Negro runs fast, then creation will have directly pleased away, because the Negro will live as long on creation hosts. NEW YORK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1929 By Marcus Garvey The white world has always tried to rob and discredit us of our history. They tell us that Tut-Ankh-Amen, a King of Egypt, who reigned about the year 1250 B.C. (before Christ), was not a Negro, that the ancient civilization of Egypt and the Pharaohs was not of our race, but that does not make the truth unreal. Every student of history, of impartial mind, knows that the Negro once ruled the world, when white men were savages and barbarians living in carve; that thousands of Negro professors at that time taught in the universities in Alexandria, then the seat of learning; that ancient Egypt gave to the world civilization and that Greece and Rome have enabled Egypt of her arts and beliefs, and taught all the credit to themselves. We are not surprising, however, that whites should spare, if necessary, the human race. pride to admit in the world today that 8,000 years ago black men excelled in government and were the founders and teachers of art, science and literature. The power and sway we once held passed away, but now in the twentieth century we are about to see a return of it in the rebuilding of Africa; yes, a new civilization, a new culture, shall spring up from among our people, and the Nile shall once more flow through the land of science, of art, and of literature, wherein will live like black men of the highest learning and the highest accomplishments. Professor George A. Kernor, head of the Harvard-Boston expedition to the Egyptian Soudan, returned to America early in 1923 and, after describing the genius of the Ethiopians and their high culture during the period of 750 B. C. to 350 A. D. in middle Africa, he declared the Ethiopians were not African Negroes. He described them as dark colored races—showing a mixture of black blood. Imagine a dark colored man, in middle Africa being anything else but a Negro. Some white men, whether they be professors or what not, certainly have a wide stretch of imagination. The above statements of the professors support my contention at all times that the prejudice against us as Negroes is not because of color, but because of our condition. If black men throughout the world as a race will render themselves so independent and useful as to be sought out by other race groups it will simply mean that all the problems of race will be smashed to pieces and the Negro would be regarded like anybody else—a man to be respected and admired. Fred A. Toote Takes Stand in Convention Public interest centered around the Negro Convention on Friday morning when, according to published information, Mr. Fred. A. Tuele, President of the U. N. I. A., Incorporated, in New York, gave an account of his stewardship while the Item. Marrue Garvey, founder of the great world movement and new President of the unincorporated Association, was inoculated in Atlanta Penitentiary.

The Association had also sent representatives to the Vermont Fees Conference and were able to present their case on the last occasion through the courtesy of the Persian delegation. They had friends who were quite prepared to give to them their aid and assistance, but it was absolutely necessary that they have proper evidence to submit before the League of Nations. They were to discuss the collecting and presentation of this data through the proper channel. When the Convention opened it was thought that they could make it possible to send representatives to the League of Nations, but owing to financial conditions it was impossible for them to undertake that now, but after collecting the necessary evi- Wm. Kelley H Campaign Every Negro Voter Must Should Be Cast For Delar Announcement was made Monday afternoon that William M. Kelley, editor of The New York Amsterdam News, has agreed to manage the campaign of Hubert T. Delany for Congress from the Twenty-first Congressional District of New York. "To my mind," Mr. Kelley wrote Mr. Delany in accepting the offer, "the success of your campaign depends, primarily, upon increasing the number of Negro voters in Harlem by about 10,000," which is approximately the number by which E. A. Johnson, also a Republican, lost to the late Royal H. Weller, white Democrat, last year. He also stated in an interview yesterday that there are several times that number of eligible Negro citizens not registered in the districts affected. Mr. Delany, who is an Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, is the third candidate the Republicans have designated for Congress from the Twenty-first District, and both former candidates were defeated at the polls mainly through the failure of eligible Negroes to register and vote. "It's about time," Mr. Kelley said, "for the Negro voters to demonstrate to the Republican Party that they are serious in their desire to see a Negro elected to Congress from New York." It was also stated in the letter of he endangered to elect himself from responsibility for the mortgage placed on Liberty Hall in Philadelphia, with the result that it ultimately passed out of the Division.

The bad economic condition of Negroes in the W. I. resulting from the party attitude of certain Governments is a matter on which representations should also be made to the League of Nations. The Hon. Thomas of Colon spoke of how United States officers ill-treated Negroes and of how no steps had been taken because no one in that section was really interested in seeing that the Negro gets his rights. The Session was adjourned earlier than usual in order to give the Speaker time to attend the funeral of the late Mrs. Gordon Hay as representative of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.

"Much as I desire to assist in the election of a Negro to Congress from New York," the editor wrote, "I could not accept the place if I felt that my acceptance would, in any way, compromise the political independence of the paper I serve." Campaign headquarters are expected to be opened within the next few days. Negro Sailors Are Cleared Of Cowardice Charge NEW YORK CITY—(C. N. S.)—In a statement issued July 31, United States Attorney Charles H. Tuttle of the southern district of New York, comments on advance report of the British board of trade's investigation of the recent "Vestris" tragedy, in which the staking of that ship carried 116 passengers and members of the crew to deep sea graves on November 12, 1888. Mr. Tuttle calls specific attention to the fact that the British board found that "there was no lack of discipline among the snow in any section of the cover," this being, said he, "in most cases with the finding at our inquiry and is a complete answer to the argument against made before Commissioner O'Brien by some of the officers of the vessel to place some of the blame on an alleged lack of discipline and compliance in the part of the Negro members of the cover, particularly the staffed. The attempt to shift blame has been reported in England as it was reported here. Subject Of Education Elaborately Stressed At Sixth Convention Of Negro Peoples of The World on Wednesday Rt. Hon. E. B. Knox Recently elected First Asst. President-General of Universal Negro Improvement Association of the World. "Congratulations are in Order." Miss Marjorie Stewart Joyner, National Supervisor of the Madame C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company who is now in the island, is arranging for a Convention of the Jamaica agents of this well known company. The Convention will open on the 3rd of September and continue until the 5th. Several, important matters relative to the ramifications of the company in Jamaica will be discussed with a view to evolving plans to increase their service to the public. Local agents of the company will be made acquainted at this Convention with the latest methods for the care of the hair, skin, and nails according to the rules that are now being followed in America. Public lectures will be given along the lines of hygiene and sanitation. A public reception at which the general public is invited, will take place on Thursday evening September 8th from 7:30 to 9:30. Admission to this event will be free. One of the objects of this Convention is to acquaint the public of Jamaica with the high class training received by persons engaged in the practice of beauty culture in all its several divisions. The public will also understand to a greater extent the nature and importance of the work of the late Madame C. J. Walker, and which is now being carried on by her daughter. The Madame C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company is one of the largest Mogee companies of the kind to the world, employing thousands of Mogee boys and girls. Last year this Company gave away seventy-five thousand dollars for Mogee education, representing two-thirds of the net profits which, according to the will of the late Madame C. J. Walker, goes to Mogee Charity and Missionary Society. 1. ain—Is roes— Losses olders EGRO WORLD Education ly Stressed Convention es of The World on nesday Speak Lovingly on the hues August 21.—The inaugural issue of all successful world newspapers and the point in which press have the most positive views of the International Negro League, the first professional league in Negroes, which is the principal part of the Universal Negro League International Association—was the name of the interesting discussion on Wednesday at the Nineteenth and Twentieth business sessions of the Sixth Annual Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World now in progress at "Edelwets Park." The subject before the House was The creating of a thorough educational system for the higher education of the Negroes of America, the West Indies and Africa, resulting in the founding of three Negro Universities of a purely technical character—one in America, one in the West Indies and one in Africa. After introducing the subject, the Speaker in Convention, (Hon. Marcus Garvey) said that as an organisation and as a race they have been very much handicapped by bad representation caused by bad education. They must go through systematic teaching to get universal obedience instead of taking men and women at their face value and offer them high positions. Most of their elected men did not know what the Association stood for. Some had banned men for over ninety-nine years when they had no constitutional right to do so; some had attacked the churches and preachers and in reality doing more harm than good. He would suggest that they start right here in Jamaica and it would be good if those whom they elect for another year at least could remain here for a month after the Convention closes so that he could be able to give them some kind of training before they go back to the States and the several Divisions in the U. S. A. should bear the expense, as they would be better for the outlay, he suggested that the first of the three schools should be started in Jamaica where he would be able to train some men from America and send them back with the ideas and principles that the organization really stands for. He was not going back to America for a good while because of the complications existing there. As soon as that has passed over he believed he could go back to America, but until he gets there he would like to help in the proper training of their men, so that one person would not be talking one thing and the other person another thing. The Hon. E. B. Knox said education has been one of their greatest difficulties, not only as a race. They were trying to solve a great problem—a race problem. They were trying to acquire for themselves new skills and more justice. Their greatest struggle in that direction was against a race which had adversely been in content of building the nation. The President's general counsel asked him his personal agreement to give him some and some in content of what he thought of persons and he wanted to know them. In fact: wherever he went he found any President who felt least comfortable.

WALKER'S WONDERFUL HAIR GROWER Write Per Terms Avenue, New York, N. Y., Sunday night, September 1st, 1929: Every road led to the New Liberty Hall, situated at 2667-77 Eighth Avenue to night; and the same spirit of earnestness, interest, and determination marked the activities of the speakers and their hearers, throughout the proceedings of the entire evening. Every seat was taken in the spacious hall, long before the hour for starting, and when the band, under Prof. Ulrick Hassel, struck up the opening notes of the Processional Hymn, there were large numbers outside, for whom no seats could be found; nevertheless a goodly number of these latter remained on the outside, full of interest, and eager to hear of the happenings over there in Jamaica, right down to the close of the evening's meeting. Among those on the platform were Mr. J. Gradnisson, president of the Jarsey City Division; Mr. Wm. Edmonds, from the Pittsfield, Mass., Division; Mr. Waite, an old member and friend; Lt. Thornhill of the U. A. Legions; Mrs. McWillie, Mrs. James, Mr. C. Forrest, Mrs. Emily Capers, president of the Garvey Club, Inc., Attorney John Williams Smith New Liberty Hall, 2667-77 Eighth speaker of the evening, and Rev. R. T. Brown, editor of The Negro World, chairman for the occasion. Too much credit cannot be given to the band under Prof Hassell for the way they enlivened the evening's proceedings, by the splendid selections, which were greatly appreciated by the audience. A plano recital by Mr. Geo. Maynard, author of "Tho' the way be dark and dreary," won great applause, as also a recitation by Miss Doris White, of Montclair, N. J. This young lady won the hearts of the friends in the gathering for the way she expressed the feelings of the author, and carried the audience with her in fancy, as she recounted the scenes described by the writer. Mrs. Talbot made her initial appearance before this audience, and was rendered a splendid ovation. Mr. J. Hanley, of the Garvey Club, Inc., touched the very hearts of those who The President-Genocard's weekly message was read by Mr. C. Forrest, and as is the case seemed to stir the listeners to renewed determination to go forth to dare and do for the uplift of the race and realization of their dreams. Lt. Thornhill of the U. A. Legions, in his usually fervent and earnest manner appealed to his hearts to be men worthy of the respect of the men of the other races of the world, rounding the audience to a high pitch of enthusiasm. Before the introduction of the speaker for the evening, the President's Hymn was sung, the announcements given out, and the offerings taken. The chairman announced that seven persons, six of them delegates to the Sixth International Convention would be arriving early this week from Jamaica. The names are as follows: Mrs. Louise Lytton, New York; Mr. Henry Shalton, Kansas City, Mo.; Mr. David Bryant, Clarksburg, W. Va.; Mr. Arthur Tola, Kansas City, Mo.; Mr. John Firman, Chicago, Ill.; Mrs. H. Timothy McNairy, Mich., and Mr. J. P. Murray, Trenton N. I. Upon being introduced Attorney John Williams, speaker for the evening said that it gave him great deal of pleasure to be with them on this occasion; and told of his experience of what dreamers had accomplished in this world, provided they had faith enough to back up their dreams. He told of how he had seen the organization grow from a small beginning, and exhorted his hearers to stand firm in their loyalty, and to continue their co-operation which had enabled them to convince millions of people in all parts of the world, as to the feasibility of their values and aspirations. He further expressed the hope that they would grow stronger as the days go by, and that the same spirit of orderly determination and earnest loyalty will continue to mark every step of the way in the progress of the association and the race in the quest for freedom and larger opportunity. This address was followed with great earnestness and studied attention, and when the speaker came to a close he received a great ovation. The singing of the Ethiopian National Anthem, and the pronouncing of the Benediction brought a very successful meeting to close at 11:15 p.m. President-General's Weekly Message (Continued From Page One) Star Line, what has happened cannot be considered solely in the sense of a commercial failure, for behind it was a spiritual and racial force which was more than money. It was the hope of the people's freedom, it was the hope of the redemption of a race. That spirit still exists, and it is not the disposition of that spirit to allow any one to sulting in the proclamation of the ideal it represents. It is the spirit that is, therefore, willing to satisfy all those who, as pioneers, invested in the Black Star Line with the desire of assisting to bring about Africa's redemption. Should Exhibit Patience If each and every one will exhibit patience, there is no doubt that every man and woman who invested a nickel in the Black Star Line will be reimbursed. It takes time to bring about an accomplishment of big things, so we must be willing to accommodate ourselves with time to put over the gigantic program that we have undertaken. Nothing With U. N. I. A. Can Fall Nothing with which the Universal Negro Improvement Association is in sympathy can fail; therefore, we hope that no one will become dissatisfied or discouraged in any way, irrespective of what has happened. The years 1929 and 1930, with the grace of God, are going to be big years in the history of our world movements. Let us prepare ourselves, therefore, to get behind all that is being done and push them forward to the consummation of our biggest local. Difference Between U. N. L. A. and Black Star Line It is hoped that no one will mix up the Black Star Line with the Universal Negro Improvement Association as one organization—they are separate. The Black Star Line was a business venture started to carry out a business idea. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is a spiritual movement that seeks to free and liberate the peoples of the Negro race and redeem a country. The Black Star Line was to the Universal Negro Improvement Association what the Shipping Board is to the United States Government. When the Shipping Board failed, the Government of the United States did not fall; but the government reorganised and reconstructed the Shipping Board. So also that is the effort of the Universal Negro Improvement Association—to reorganise, and reconstruct, and carry on, so that nothing will fall in the effort to build a strong and powerful race and establish a nation for the people. Trusting that every one will work wholeheartedly for the success of our great cause in 1939, I have the honor to be Predicament of Jews in Palestine a Stirring Example of Need of Negro Nationalism BY REGINALD M. CLYNE To the ordinary American Negro, the present racial conflicts in Palestine might appear as an event of slight concern with regards to himself or his brothers, scattered over various portions of the globe. But the conditions that have led up to the appalling bloodshed in the Near East have many parallels all over this country; and it will be a good thing for us to realize the dangers both actual and potential, that confront a minority in any community where deep-seated racial, religious and economic differences are always present to set afame the intensely matured human passions. History bears testimony to this fact; and the current wave of Nationalism, and the growing increase of racial prejudice are grave portents of the future perils awaiting those peoples that are unprepared. Quite a treat deal has been written and spoken about the rapid material progress that we Negroes have made in America. Presidents, preachers, professors and publicists have hailed our achievements as being without a parallel in recorded history. We listen to them with pride and satisfaction, and then sing hymns of praise to God, and the memory of Abraham Lincoln. But Marcus Garvey asks: Is anything yours which you cannot defend? Our ownership of land and other properties in America is subject to our behavior, and naturally, to the temper of the mob by which we are surrounded. The Jews are internationally famous as bankers and merchants, in Even Overnight Your skin will improve feast, the word "Jew" is encompassing with business and financial success. Yet we find in every identity where they are domiciled except in modern England and America, their lives and property are always in property. Why has this been so? It is simply because the Jew amasses wealth but does not equate himself with the means necessary for its protection. Now, we find him in Palestine, a helpless victim of the Arab's vengeance, appealing to Britain, America and every other civilized power to come and save him from annihilation! How pitiful and contemptible is the lot of a people who cannot protect itself! To my own way of thinking, it is an anachronism at this day and time, that any large number of people, or racial entity, such as the Negroes, or the Jews should depend on the goodwill and tolerance of any other people for their existence. What has become of the law of self-preservation? What unexplainable disease, what monstrosity of nature has clouded the minds, and will of a healthy and virile people, such as we are, that the majority of us should think it madness and folly to advocate a strong and independent nationality of our own? The God of Isaac, Abraham and Jacob, to whom the Jews paid homage at the Wailing Wall—and which incident has precipitated this orgy of bloodshed—has not come to their defence. The God of our Baptist brothers in Tuissa and other parts of the South, has never held the mob at bay, and believe it or not, in the last analysis, it will not be the unbridged of our independence and our common strength, for the disgrace and danger of our enemy nor yet the various confederations of our ancient nation that will generate us protection and happiness, in this wonderful world of the present age; but a prosperity that is backed by a blank nation with an temple and emphatic means of defending itself from all external enemies. Wake up Negroes! We hear the edum and contempt of all people, including the very Jews. Think, if not of ourselves, then of our children; and let us from now on work with a united purpose for African redemption.

He felt that the time was apportune to elect the other officers of the Association and so get rid of the bichering and harping on the characters of men who had served them in the past. The suggestion was, however, ruled out of order by the chair. The Hon. Wallace of Illinois recommended the development of the Clarmont School in Virginia, U. S. A., as the Nucleus of any education propaganda in America, which may result from the Convention. This Institution had an historic background which could serve as a significant portion of the study of their students. The Hon. Williams of Warren, said that we should employ methods of propaganda to further the ideas of the movement, educationally or otherwise, through clubs, churches, fraternities, and the Divisions should try and educate the members as to the history of the race. The Hon. McQueen of Indiana Harbour said the U. N. I. A. was the biggest and best school in the world and that no man would be able to put any thing over on the once ignorant people because Marcus Garvey had shown them the way. At the afternoon session the Hon. Tripp of Acrom, said that he had always tried to do his best along the lines that they were discussing that afternoon. It took skillful men to advocate the cause of the U.N.L.A., and one of the best means to foster a correct understanding of the principles of the great movement was to have the training schools as indicated in the subject under discussion. The delegate then went on to explain how he had won over to their cause several influential men in America, including ministers of religion who had turned aside from the movement because they were afraid to put confidence in some of his predecessors. The Hon. Buchanan of Port Antonio said it was essential for that Convention to consider education as one of their most important subjects. One of the first thing that would help the Negro educationally is the teaching of loyalty to his race. They were all confirmed in the opinion that colleges were essential but the question was where these colleges should operate. Education as taught in Jamaica had the effect of making their young men and even older folks pretend to be white. He was a Jamaican and he was certain the things that happened in countries like the United States, where men had no successfully taught the Organization into disputer by their dishonesty and trickery, could not happen in Jamaica, because the man would be immediately apprehended and placed in jail. He ventured to say that if the money collected in America by unscrupulous persons who used that money on their own accounts had been collected in Jamaica the Black Cross Navigating Co., and the Black Star Line would be in operation to-day. It was quite time that Jamaicans be given a chance to show what they can do for the Organization. Commenting on Mr. Buchanan's remarks the Speaker in Convention said that it was a fact that people could not easily rob in Jamaica and get away with it. They had no corrupt political system here by which Help Us To Help You The Negro World takes this opportunity of extending its sincere thanks and admiration to the many readers that have sent in letters expressing their appreciation for the general appearance of our paper. Believe us, we are really trying our utmost to make a regular paper of the Negro World. As you know, ours is a propaganda medium published in the interest of the awakened Negro. Our slogan is Africa for the Africans at home and abroad. Although this is our aim, we want to make our paper so that it may appeal to everybody. Now in order for us to be able to do this it will be necessary to have funds at our disposal. Please bear this in mind, that the Negro World belongs to the race. Why? Because it champions their cause. On this account money that would come to us through other channels does not. So it is no more than right that whenever we are in need, "Greatly in Need," that we should appeal to you, our sincere well-wishers. Therefore, beginning with this week we are launching a TO raise money for the purpose of producing a more convincing paper. The editorial and business departments are working hand in hand in order to give you what you should have. So please help us by doing all you possibly can. Send in whatever you can afford to help put over this drive. We will publish the names of Divisions, Chapters, or Individuals that contribute in the Negro World each week. Do something and let them read about it. people could exploit others and not he placed in jail for it.

He then related how a man stole $8,000 from the Black Star Lime and who through some wire pulling with the police succeeded in being set loose after he was duly taken into custody. The Hon. Mrs. Gordon said that they needed education more than anything else. Some of their officers in the past could not honestly represent their interests; in the past the education they got was an education which taught them how to rob their brothers. She heartily endorsed an education system and she particularly desired to see one of the training schools established in Kingston, preferably near Edelwis Park; and she was in favor of it being controlled by Jamaican and African natives, with the Hon. Marcus Garvey as its head. There were officers of the Organization in America who did not realise what the Organization stood for, for instance she heard men of the Organization inviting others to come and get some of its money. She would be glad to see the day when no man could become an executive officer of the Association unless he had first been educated at one of these colleges, and she wanted to state there and then that the people in Chicago whom she represented would not put one dime in anything connected with the Organization for which authority was not given by Headquarters in Jamaica. The Hon. Dr. J. J. Peters of Louisiana, said he was rather interested in the subject of liberal Negro education, because early in life he was given the chance to attend one of the well known schools of education propaganda known as The Rhinestone School of Political and Social Propaganda in New York. In that school he was taught about different governments and how one or two things could be done. He believed that they ought to begin the first training school as early as possible but he feared that at the very start they would not be able to get the necessary number of students, and in view of this he would suggest that they start a correspondence school through which they would reach the scattered hundreds of their people and remodel them. He thought their text books should be written by men who were capable of laying down certain positive policies in education different to that which they got in public schools, and he agreed with what one of the previous speakers had said in regard to having class masters from Africa in these schools. The Hon. Smith of Detroit, read a very interesting and highly literary paper which he prepared before he left America on the suitability of the Claremont School in Virginia as an institution for the dissemination of the kind of ideas they required in their education propaganda. The Speaker in Convention explained why he would not advise the House to include the Claremont School in their speculation as to where and how to start in the scheme that they were discussing. He read a letter from Sir William Ware relative to certain financial difficulties which had been hampering the progress of the school Committee Appointed After further discussion, the following Committee was appointed to collect further evidence, draw up a feasible proposal and report back to the assembly: Hon. Ephraim of Chicago (Chairman), Rev. Dr. Williams of Baltimore, Rev. Ford of Mississippi, Hon. Williams of Warren, Hon. Price of Guatamala, Hon. Smith of Detroit and Hon. Alken of Boston. The session then adjourned until 7:30 o'clock in the evening. The establishing of a daily newspaper in several large cities of the world to shape sentiment in favour of the entire Negro Race, namely, in London, Paris, Berlin, Capetown, New York, Washington, Gold Cost, West Africa and the several important islands of the West Indies, was the subject before the House last night, in the 24th. Business Session of the 16th International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the world. The power of the Press was emphasized by several of the delegates who felt that the race required daily newspapers to assist in the working out of the scheme for the remption of Africa. Aside from the pupil there was no other medium which could wield so much power of the press which was capable of building up and breaking down empires. The following committee was appointed to consider ways and means: Him. Wilson of Chicago, Him. Barber of Youngstown, Hom. Mra. Nattie Johnson, Hom. Bphraum of Chicago Men. Thomas of Colon and Hom.

Marcus Garvey Is Celebrated KINGSTON, Ja., Aug. 19.---After another strenuous week of business in the sixth Convention of the U. N. L. A. being held at Edelweiss Park, assembled delegates and hundreds of members and visitors filed past the ticket office on Saturday night last to fraternize and celebrate the anniversary of the malt day of their President General Mr. Marcus Garvey. The preliminaries begun at 8 o'clock when Professor Gerardo Leon and the Follies carried through an entertaining program of songs and dances, each item well received. The band gave several renditions, and there was no break in the program, even the intermission being utilized. The President General and his good wife, Mr. E. B. Knox, Mme. deMena, and other officials of the Convention sat in boxes in the balcony. At the appointed time (the intermission to the concert) for the presentations to the President General officers of the local and overseas division took up their seats on the stage and in the centre were Messrs. Marcus Garvey and E. B. Knox and Mme. deMena. The latter opening the proceeding said that evening they were about to celebrate in a unique way the birthday of Mr. Marcus Garvey, a son of the soil of Jamaica. If Negroes should be proud of anything in the world that day they should be proud that God in making that broad, bright, beautiful, wonderful world saw fit to place it in the midst of the ocean. A Beautiful Island of springs, whose productiveness could not be exceeded anywhere in the world, whose picturesque, beautiful mountains, trees, lovely plains, and flowers perfuming the air made it an all-wonderful island, and in that island a woman gave birth to the greatest boy child ever born in the Negro race. Had they flowers they would strew them in millions at Mr. Marcus Garvey's feet and each petal would express their thought and the perfume would bring him cheer for the next 42 years and more. If they could sing and compose carols, if they had the inspiration and talent of a Rudyard Kipling that night they would place at the end of every line and every verse the name Marcus Garvey (applause). Mme. Bostice of New York rendered a vocal solo, accompanied by Mr. Francis, after which an address and presentation from the Kingston Division was made, and the hope expressed that on the President General starting a new mile of life on the morrow Jamaica would start on a new era of prosperity. Mr. Garvey, Baptist Mr. Marcus Garvey returned thanks and said he could well remember the part Kingston play in the development of the movement of which they were all members. He could not take credit for doing anything in Jamaica since his return to the island without giving Kingston due credit. He could remember on his arrival here the splendid reception they engagged for him—one he did not accept, and the result was they had growth: steadily until, they had found themselves where they were. Family of the late immortal David Graham, for years a loyal member of Mr. 20, Chicago, Ill. Mr. Graham died on July 16th, 1899. Mr. Graham was a native of St. Thomas, Jamaica, B. W. L, and was 68 years old at the time of his death. We tender our sincere condolence to the bereaved family. Friends who are willing to aid them can adhere him. Graham, care B. C. Bryant, 2008 Prairie groves, Chicago, Ill. An address and presentation on behalf of the American delegates was next made through Mr. Knox. In addressing Mr. Carvey and the gathering Mr. Knox said if he was a master of language, he could not find words to adequately express the gratitude and deep sympathy of the Negro people of the world, and especially the delegates from America on that auspicious occasion. Forty-two years ago one made his advent into the world who established a record for his humility, his grace that could not be equaled even by searching the annals of history. In making the humble presentation they knew that as far as its intrinsic value was concerned it did not represent all that they meant or all that they desire to express, but it was a token of appreciation and they hoped as he went about his arduous duties in the years to come that he would realize there were millions and millions of souls of Negroes who looked upon him as their mouth-piece, as a genius, and as the seconds were tickled off they wanted him to know that so their hearts would beat with his trying to solve a problem that so far has baffled the world. Mr. Garvey thanked Mr. Knox and through him the American delegates. If he had friends, friends that were true, friends that were loyal, friends who had never forgotten him and whom he had never forgotten, he knew he could find them in America. He would never forget them and the kind delegates who had presented him that token of their appreciation of him. He had lived probably up to now the better part of his life in America. There he had been able to do the little good that they appreciated, that had resulted in the steady expansion of the movement that they loved, the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. If the movement had become known, if it had arrested the attention of men, if it had helped the Negro at all, then their thanks must go to America. It was America that came to his assist- ance; it was America that gave him the encouragement; it was America that gave him the wherewithal to push forward the mighty U. N. I. A. and when Africa was truly redeemed the sons of Ethiopia were truly emancipated, all of them, their children and posterity should ever remember America. He wanted him and the delegates to take back to America his very best wishes, and heartfelt thanks. He wanted them to tell the people in America that shortly he would be there (prolonged applause) to see his friends and shake hands with them, and to talk with them, for he had never forgotten them (applause). Other Presentations Mrs. Mary Hunt of New York, made an address and presentation on behalf of the Black Cross Nurses of the Garvey Club, constituting Brooklyn, Jersey City, and New York. Mr. Garvey returned sincere thanks and asked Mrs. Hunt to convey his best wishes to them. Mme. Joyner, a representative of the Mme. C. J. Walker beauty culture school, rendered a rectitation which brought down the house. That she is a dramatist and comedian of no mean order was fully borne out, and she might yet be heard on the stage. An address and presentation of a cheque by the Universal Commercial and Industrial Exchange of this city was next made to Mr. Garvey. Mr. Walters reading the address, whilst Mr. A. W. Hriques made the presentation. Mr. Walters in his remarks said whilst they were honoring their great leader they were honoring themselves. Jamaica claimed the distinction of being the birthplace and cradle of the President General, and though circumstances had forced him to seek new fields for carrying out his wide scheme, on his return to Jamaica he had found a people more receptive. They were pleased to say they were coming in by the hundreds and thousands and the U. N. I. A's program was so attractive that they would and must come in. Mr. Henriques, in presenting the cheque said Mr. Garvey had done wonderful work toward the uplift of the Negro race, and he wished him God's blessing. Mr. Garvey thanked the Exchange for the address and purse, and was glad to note that the Association organized by him over a year ago had not fallen by the wayside. He felt sure they would have the support of the American delegates who had the same vision that the Negro should go forward. Garvey Club Miss Ethel M. Collins, Acting Secretary General on behalf of the Garvey Club of New York gave an address and made two beautiful presentations, one for Mr. Garvey and one for his wife. The Garvey Club, he said, was standing behind him 100 per cent and more. In returning thanks, Mr. Garvey said his wife and himself held the members of the Garvey Club dearest to their hearts. He understood that that Club was really the relict of their organization around that area, which had been true to themselves and the cause. Anything he could do from this end to help them to win their fight in New York he would do so. Mr. Thoywell Henry, on behalf of the editorial staff of "The Blackman" made a speech and presented Mr. Garvey with a beautiful silver souvenir. Mr. Garvey in reply said he accepted the "Ten of appreciation with great pleasure. He must say that "The Blackman" had done wonderful work in the community, thanks to the assistance of the editorial staff. Colonel Robinson, president of "The Legions" on behalf of Mr. Gordon of New York made a presentation of a beautiful large picture, typical of a fort in Africa, which they hoped would be material in the not distant future. The President General said he accepted it in the spirit in which it was sent. If the "Legions" could dream it and then make it practical and true, make it a realised thing they would be glad. It all depended on them. He would look at the painting always, and hoped to gather new spirit and new inspiration. Black Cross Nurse Mrs. Douglas of Belfire, on behalf of the Black Cross Nurses of British Honduras made a presentation of an address and purse. Mr. Garvey said the Black Cross Nurses of Belfire had impressed him as being the most up-to-date unit of the Black Cross Nurses throughout the world. He had seen their demonstrations in Belfire and in Jamaica, and they were doing wonderful work in British Honduras and had been recognized by the governors of their country as an auxiliary, which was a splendid beginning. His many visits to their country had been pleasant, and he hoped to see them again. Miss Ethel M. Collins rendered a vocal solo, accompanied by Mr. Leon. Mrs. Seay of British Honduras next made a presentation of an address and souvenir on behalf of delegates from Central America, Cuba and Trinidad. Mr. Garvey returned thanks and referred to the part Central America played in the raising of funds to purchase their first vessel the Frederick Douglas, 80 per cent of the funds coming from that section. Rev. N. Bellamy gave an address and presentation on behalf of the headquarter staff. Mr. Garvey returned his thanks and acknowledged the splendid loyal and painstaking services of the staff at Headquarters. The majority of the addresses and speeches included Mr. Garvey in their good wishes. Three cheers were given for Mr. Garvey, who said he thanked them for the splendid demonstration of good-will to his wife and himself and this part of the celebration being over, the concert was continued. Of Canada KINGSTON, Ja., Aug. 20.—The business session of the Sixth Annual International Convention of the Negro People's of the World, under the auspices of the Universal Negro improvement Association of the World was continued yesterday morning at Eiwelws Park with Mr. Marcus Garvey, President General, presiding The attendance was large, most of the delegates being present, as also were hundreds of visitors who have been following the proceedings of the convention for the last fortnight. The proceedings started at ten o'clock with the opening prayers after which Miss Ethel Collins, Acting Secretary General, read the minutes of the previous session which were confirmed. Mr. A. W. L. Fotter of Montreal, addressing the Convention, said that it afforded him great pleasure to be present that morning to discuss the affairs of the Negro question as they existed in Montreal. He did not desire to take up much of their time. He referred to the economic conditions as they existed in the area where he was from and stated that they all knew that only a small proportion of the population of Canada were members of the Negro race. The Negro was generally host out of . positions in important offices in Canada and confined chiefly to the labouring class whether he had the ability for holding higher positions or not. On the whole the Negro's position was in a chaotic state. They should take a great interest in the affairs of the organisation and should do whatever they could to assist the movement. High Potentate The President General moved that they elect a High Potentate for the Court reception on Thursday night. He mentioned that the office would be a temporary one only existing for the night. Dr. Peter suggested that the President General himself should be the High Potentate. The President General said that he had other offices to fulfil being that of Prince of the Provincial Province of Africa and President General. It was moved and seconded that the President General be allowed to elect an officer for the position. This was agreed to and Mr. A. W. L. Potter of Montreal, Canada, was elected as High Potentate for the reception. The establishing of a Universal Social Code for the Negro race was the next subject for discussion. Mr. Allen of New York thought that they should do everything in that direction. He urged that the men of the race should link more fully with their women folk as it tended to uplift the race. Mr. Smelle of Morant May said that the young men should be given a chance to do something for the Association and be strongly recommended that it would be a good thing for them to further stimulate the youths of the race. Mr. Plumber of Chicago, also spoke on the subject urging that something should be done to establish the code. The Rev. Barber gave an interesting speech on the subject. The following committee was appointed to make suggestions and report to the convention. Mr. Williamson of Kansas, Chairman, Miss H. V. Davia, Mr. Sankmidt of Detroit, Mr. Williams of Ohio, and the Rev. S. M. Jones of Kansas. Race Relief The next subject brought up for discussion was the forgingup of plans to unify the religious beliefs and practices of the native Negro race. Dr. Peters of Louisiana Mr. Cragen of Detroit and Mr. Fanning of New York made interesting addresses after which the convention adjourned until 2 p.m. Religious Question The U. N. I. A. Convention in session yesterday afternoon continued the discussion on the unification of religious beliefs and practices of the entire Negro race. On the platform were Mr. Marcus Garvey, President-General, Mr. Alfred Potter, Potentate-elect w. so arrived yesterday; Mr. E. B. Knox, Mr. Amy J. Garvey, Miss Fenrietta Vinton Davis, Mme. M. L. T. deMena, Miss Ethel M. Collins, acting Secretary General. Delegate Schmidt of Detroit continue the debate said he did not think that Convention could do justice to such a subject in the brief space of two weeks much less a session. He did not say it was impossible that a group of people would some day be able to bring about unification of the entire Negro race, but it was often said "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread." Religion was a subject that had caused nations to lose prestige and their names washed away in blood, because of differences. He cited the various religious bodies with their own tenets, all of them right and none wrong, they claimed. The vast number of Negroes in Africa, for instance did not embrace Christianity, to name a few, the Mo- In Memoriam Mr. Jack Solmspn a staunch member of the U. N. I.

Are you university in good health and everything is doing well? numbers will have to pay the supreme sacrifice. We realize that some of us will be persecuted and prosecuted, perhaps, nay, more some of us will have to pass through the Valley of the Shadow of Death; but, utterly unmindful of all the consequences, no matter what course they may take, or what the outcome might be, we shall go cheerfully, manfully, heroically forward, to "victory or to death." Nothing short of the ultimate redemption of the fatherland Africa, and the full and complete, all-round emancipation of this race of ours is ever going to assuage our thirsty souls. Nothing short of the full and complete realization of our God-given rights is ever going to cause the Negro race to stop fighting, or to lay its armor down, "till Africa is free." We have come to the parting of the ways. We have come to that point in our existence as a race and people, when we cannot allow anything under the sun, or the whims and caprices of anybody to turn us aside from the reaching of the goal that has been set for us, from the attainment of our high desires, and the placing of this race upon a sound foundation for the carrying into execution all of its plans for the betterment of its sons and daughters, and the securing to posterity, all the rights and privileges which belong to a race of men, four hundred million strong. Realizing with grim earnestness, the import of the tasks which lie before us, and burning with a high desire to see humanity's God, through our own spectacles; resolving never again, while this old earth lasts, to bow the knee to oppression, and unswerving in our endeavors to reach our own place in the sun, and to recognition by the other races of men, we set out, in these, the opening days of the Twentieth Century, the grandest century the human race has ever witnessed, to carve out a glory dazzingly resplendent; to mould a destiny that shall stagger the imagination of our fellow-humans, to guide the ship of destiny to a glorious landing, and to rear to the praise of the Great Spirit of the Universe, a greater altar of praise than mankind ever reared before; then march forth to the vanguard of a civilization, besides which all man-made achievements of the past shall pale into insignificance; and stamp irrevocably and forever upon the consciousness of all creation, the fact that "the Negro is a man;" and, as such, is worthy of the respect and admiration of the very Gods. OUR FUTURE IN OUR HANDS THAT is the consensus of the opinion of thinking men all over the world; and it is the decision of the Negro Peoples of the World. After looking at world conditions as they confront the people of the Negro race, we have decided to take God at his word, and go out with our fate in our own hands, ceasing to depend upon the tutelage of any race of men, build such a monument to Negro activities, in every field of human endeavor that all creation must stand agast. Now, that we have laid aside our swadelling clothes; now that we have burst the bands of timidity that kept us shrinking and hiding from the shadows of passing events, and have resolved to form for ourselves, the course which we will henceforth take, it behooves us to sit for a while in silence, in communion with the Great Spirit of Infinity, view the vista of life with calm, and calculating eyes, with unruffled spirit, and drink in from the solace of that silence, all the qualities that are going to be needed to steel us on, as we go forth to the greatest of adventures upon which a race of men ever embarked, since the dawn of history to the present day. There might be those who are disposed to feel that we are too prone to deal in the superlatives; but if they will consider carefully, they will find that not only we are right, but that we are justified. For, never before in the history of the world, was there so large a group of any people, that were so unified upon the idea of racial progress, racial freedom, all-round emancipation, and the redemption of their fatherland, as is the Negro race at this time. Divinity seems to have injected the feeling into the hearts of the Negroes all over the world; and from the farthest corners of the earth comes the cry,"The Negro Must be Free,"and"Africa Must be Redeemed." Countless thousands have taken up the cry. Millions upon millions have caught a vision of the glory of the future that is awaiting us; and millions and millions more are awake to the realization of the fact that we shall be called upon to make great sacrifices, and to pass stubborn tests, before we reach the goal we have set out to attain. Negroes alone can judge of the calibre of the souls and bodies of the Negro. Negroes also are not taking any superficial view of the situation; but have quickened their souls, and are shaping their minds and bodies for the sternest trials that mankind has ever had; so that when the time comes they will be ready. We realize that there will be great expenditures to be made before we will have reached to that place we have set out to attain. We are fully cognizant of the fact that oceans of money will have to be spent to carry our program to a successful conclusion. We are therefore preparing for the building of sound and unshakable financial structures. We are endeavoring to erect such monuments to Negro commerce, Negro industry, to every kind of Negro endeavor. We must therefore call to our fellows to begin at once, wherever we are, to lay the foundation for an economic prosperity that shall be a credit to a race that has come forward at a gallop, along other lines. Now we must enter the various lines of endeavor and work, labor, strive, study and build; build such monuments to the industry and activity of the Negro race, that will win us the recognition we so much desire. And when we have taken the commendable prize of a sound economic structure, the task of nation building will be comparatively easy; and what is more we will be able to defend ourselves, our children, our posterity, and our fatherland, from all kinds of outside encroachments. Pooling our interests, the time is ripe for the Negro Peoples of the World to launch out into the various lines with which they are familiar, and by studying and research into all other lines, the time is bound to come when we will be able to finance any undertaking, and carry out any just, any righteous program upon which we shall set our minds.

Readers of the Negro World are currently requested to invite our attention to any failure on the part of an advertiser to adhere to any representation contained in a Negro World Advertisement. DELANY FOR CONGRESS THIS is the decision of the Negro Republicans from the Twenty-first Congressional District of New York. There is something in that decision, which at once challenges every Negro voter from this district, irrespective of party affiliations, to come to attention, lay partisanship aside, and rally to the call of the demand of the race, for the adding another to the one colored representative already in Congress. Something deeper than mere party affiliations, more far-reaching than the mere act of going to the polls, is the selection that has been made, and the cause he represents, for, no matter what his party, Hubert T. Delany, as the second Negro Congressman, in the House of Representatives, will be representing Negroes, not only of the Republican party, whose standard bearer he will be, not alone the interests of the Negro voters of New York, but also the interests of Negroes all over America. His election will be a triumph of which every Negro will have reason to be proud; and it behooves each and every one to come out to the aid of this able Negro candidate, who, if elected will be specially qualified to represent the rights of the Negroes of America, ably seconding that other stalwart Hon. Oscar DePriest. Hubert T. Delany, from his past records, deserves the support of every Negro; since his career as Assistant United States District Attorney is one of splendid and meritorious success; and it is expected that, if his compatriots rally to his support, that, notwithstanding all the handicaps there may be, he will take to the halls of congress that same quality for efficiency and painstaking work, that has made him a brilliant success at the bar. Mr. Delany must also be congratulated for selecting for his campaign manager, a man, clean-cut, sterling and undaunted, in the person of Wm. H. Kelley, Editor of "The Amsterdam News." Our experience has taught us that Kelley and success, fearlessness and honesty and manliness are synonymous. Wm. H. Kelley has time and again demonstrated to all men, that there is no wishbone in him, traces of yellow. A man upstanding, fearless, and unafraid, who is not afraid to tell the devil to "go to Hell." Everyone knows, that if it takes earnest appeal, efficient management, honest effort and courage, manliness and sincerity, to bring out the extra ten thousand Negro voters that will be necessary to send the Negro candidate from the Twenty-first Congressional District to Congress. Kelley is the man who will exercise those cardinal virtues, and DELANY MUST BE BOUND TO WIN. Negroes of New York, do not fail to be out, to rally to the success of this sterling character, to represent your race in Congress, along-side of this sterling character, to represent your race in Congress, alongside the Chicago war-horse, Oscar DePriest. AS CONVENTION CLOSES LET the resolve of every sincere Negro, in the quest of a fuller and a larger freedom, be to grow each day, more mature in judgment, stronger in the mastery of self, kindlier in his contacts with others. Each day is a fresh beginning and a new challenge. We may be what we might have been. The future lies before us. The desired land of freedom, happiness, and success, Africa is ours. It awaits our redemption. It will be ours, if we grow strong enough to conquer, strong enough to possess it, and resourceful and courageous enough to develop it and keep it within our grasp. WHAT IS IT GOING TO BE, FELLOWMEN? Now, that officially, the Sixth International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World is closed, and its deliberations and decisions will be recorded in the annals of history, we are brought face to face with the present trend of events, pointing to a future more glorious than any race of mankind has ever visioned, or experienced, awaiting our enjoyment, and depending only upon how we bear ourselves, how we tackle the tasks at hand, and stamp our impress upon the minds of the universe. Our representatives have made their decisions after due deliberation; and from every side there come praises for the way they conducted themselves in the handling of the problems that came before them for consideration. The race is hopefully looking forward to the carrying out of the plans which have been formulated; and it is with hearts filled with expectancy that we look hopefully to the future, feeling that there are great things in store for us. And indeed there are great things in store for this race of Negroes, if we, heeding the call of the Twentieth Century, will acquit ourselves like men, and, stepping forth under God's heaven, resolve to be men, like we have never been before; if we will cast aside, forever, yes, forever and a day, everything that would retard us from carrying to a successful conclusion, all the things that we have desired, and all the decisions that have been made for us, and by us, and by our representatives to the Sixth International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World. Having decided that the time has come for the race of Negroes to rise and assert its rights to the things that are undeniably ours; having seen the finger of Fate writing in a clear and burning manner the future of this race of ours, it is up to us now to go forward to the realization of our aims. Having heard the voice of destiny as she decisively calls to the sons and daughters of Ethiopia, scattered over the far corners of the earth on which we live, it is for us to resolve anew, as we stand before the judgment bar of all creation, to be men, free men, and heirs, who know well how to live, to do our duty to our God, to our fellow humans, to ourselves: like men who are not afraid to die. The late Mrs. Lillian H. Dean known in Harlem as "Pigfoot Mary" died last month and, according to probate court records, left an estate of $75,000. The bulk of this estate was accumulated through the sale of cooked pig's feet on the Harlem streets. How now about all the grand schemes for making money? Here was a woman who knew a certain thing: namely: how to cook delicious pig's feet. So she did just that with the result that she leaves a small fortune. Seventy-five thousand dollars, properly invested, yields more than $800 a month in income. There are plenty of people who could go and do likewise. We can put our talents to work and make them yield income. The trouble with half of us is that we are busy "singing the blues" while the other half is trying to sell bluff and blunder instead of knowledge and industry.—The Kansas City Call As we stand today, we are as it were at the threshold of Destiny, and there is believing us on to the "glory that is greater" than "the goddess was Cordage." We realize, that before we are able to carry out all of the decisions that have been made for this race, by the leaders who act in Kingston, Jamaica, during the thirty-one days and days of the annals of the Sixth International Convention of the International of the World, we will be called upon to make great and magnificent contributions greater perhaps than any race of mankind that is called upon to make before. We realize that some of our Does it pay to lead an honest, upright Christian life? This is a question sometimes asked. When we see the notorious wickedness of and crimes committed by some men and women, and the sordid lives they lead. And then to see so many of the would-be society leaders and respectable people hobnobbing with and applauding these enemies to repeatable society. While on the other hand, those who try to lead an honorable, upright life, are usually in disfavor—criticized and abused. When such a state of affairs exists among a goodly number of people, in any community, why marvel if some one asks the question, does it pay to live an honorable, upright life? To the question we answer yes! For it is written, "What ye sow ye shall also resp."—The Advocata, Portland, Oregon. i The People's Forum The People's Forum Think Black BY VICTOR GEO. COHEN When sorrows and troubles engulfeth your soul. Press forward and upward, and always think black. When justice is fettered through bribe by the mob And you're thrown in the gutter, don't ever feel sad But press to your goal and keep to the track Yes, upward and onward, forever think black. When tempted to scale o'er the enemy's line. And lose your identity which is so fine. Remember the black blood which flows through your veins: Restrain your intention, and think black again. For black is a color, without a known peer. With it other colors can all disappear: Their colors are lost in a mixture of black. So, courage my brother, and always think black. For black was the world when it first came to being. To African freedom, so always be black! Editor. Negro World: Please permit me space in your grand paper to express my appreciation to the Hon. Judge Nichols Klein. I have a keen respect for such broad-minded men, who are helping to preach the Negro out of ignorance, and superstition. I congratulate the noble gentleman for his frankness. I deplore much the clause which says, the pastor told his people that the only redemption for the Negro was Heaven. Oh God! What traitors such leaders are. They are as mendacious and oppressive as the devil. And I have little or no respect for such men. I never like to be too explicit, but for me alone the ministers and their churches could be put out of existence until they learn to presach constructively. I feel rather indignant about their teachings, for it keeps the mass of our people in the dark. For there are many who believe that if they don't go to church they are considered un-Gediy, and are ready to be condemned. Is not all this brought about by the wrong teaching? I will not take up much of your space, sir. So in conclusion let me say: Marcus Garvey is my leader By his sound and loving preaching For they help expand my brain I will not transgress his teaching. But will hold on to his train. Sincerely yours for racial uplift, Johanna Bartley, Cayo Mambi, Orienta, Cuba. Santa Barbara, P. O. Isle of Pines, Cuba, August 22, 1929. To: Hon. Ramsay MacDonnell. Distinguished Gentleman: My best greetings to you, and your humble writer your consideration on the following subject: "The Negro's Future." I am certain that you are aware of the great problems that confront the universe, and the struggle that we are undergoing to keep in existence. It was through labor that we are scattered throughout the four corners of the world. And to labor we must make the demand, for our return to our homeland Africa. The million of Negroes who live in the West Indies, United States of America, and throughout Europe, are living in ambitious countries, and we too, feel that ambition of governing our own country. Therefore, it's only human that Great Britain should make the first move to help us to achieve our desires. The writer knows that this is in your power to do something to help us, and I have often read of your kindness, your love of justice, your humanity, and most of all your great determination, and your great power. Kind Sir, you could do no greater favor to the world than to help bring about a free and liberated Africa, for the four hundred million Negroes at home and abroad. An act of humanity and of Godiness, an act for which the God of Justice will surely bless thee; and for which a downtrodden race will ever sing thy praise. Believing that you will do something to help us I hasten to thank you in advance. Yours for greater success. Please allow me space in your column to congratulate Mr. Arthur B. Gray of Los Angeles, Cal., for the timely criticism he offered to our race in your issue of the 17th inst. with reference to the encouraging of a "bleach complication." Those who indulge in this practice are consciously or unconsciously insulting their race. If the Negro is ashamed of himself, then let him be rather than heap disdain on himself and on his Creator by this do- structive practice. Our ancestors were proud of their color when they were masters of civilization. They possessed that which the other nations craved; but, by the way, they have lost out. Now that we have found ourselves destitute of that wealth, power and prestige that they enjoyed, bleaching our skin will not procure it, but rather serves as a silent propaganda to retard us from our goal. — a propaganda of which the Negro is unconscious. The monkey is an adept at imitating, but he is always a monkey and never becomes a man. The Negro is different, in that he is made in the image of his Creator. If he desires to imitate, let him use his initiative. Let him imitate the White race in industry, commerce, arts and science, etc., and this will give him a place in the limelight. Further: let him link up with the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and work ardently for African redemption; and when that is achieved, he will be proud and content to know that every nation respects him, not because he has been bleached brown or fair, but because he has made his contribution to the world, which makes him a man among men. Thanking you for space. Mr. Editor, and hoping to see a radical reformation among us in future. I remain. Yours for racial uplift, CHAS. J. ELLIS, Cam., Cuba. Aug. 20, 1928. Editor. Negro World: Following the directions of our leader, please allow me space in your valuable column to greet the onward march of our organization. As Negroes who stand for liberty living under the principles of the Fath- erhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man, I remain loyal with the help of the Gnuntipot to follow and labor "till Africa is free." Words cannot express the joy of my longing eyes to see such gratitude, when I heard them speak of a better land, which is calling us children from a slavery band, saying: "Africa where are those radiant shores?" Shall we not seek thee, and want no more? Yes, sons and daughters, it is there, it is there! This is from a personal feeling which every Negro should have felt, that shocks them with further discontent. I beg for unity, fellow comrades, so that in a near future we can boast of a land of liberty, while we labor and are holding up the hand of our leaders. Hon Marcus Garvey with determination flying an African flag, the red, the black and the green. With best wishes for the realization of our hope, I remain, with success, Yours, DAVID PICKERSGILL, Hatuy, Camsague, Cuba Permit me a little space in your wonderful journal to say a few words by way of information. Being a member of the East Brooklyn Chapter No. 64, and holding the office of First Vice President in said Chapter, and being now on a visit to my native home, St. Vincent, and, being a loyal advocate of the N.N.I.A. I could do no otherwise than to organize a branch here, and preach Garveyism to the people. Members and friends of the U. N. I. A. will hereby be informed that another link has been added to the great universal chain. Said branch was organized on August 1st at the union Wesleyan School Room, at Newground Ridge, St. Vincent B. W. I. at which time 26 names were enrolled as members. Having made application to Headquarters for our "Charter" we hope to receive same soon. Yours for Africa's Redemption and Racial co-operation.

Trey says the middle-of-the road policy man may be all right for congress, but it certainly is a bad idea for slow drivers. Palestine is ablame, wrapped in the fineness of racial and religious strife, and rached with political animosity—open warfare. That unhappy, mythological, and yet barren crust of the earths dry spots is as customary the source of present day concern. From time immemorial, Palestine has, throughout its history, from Abraham until this day disturbed the peace and quietude of the world. The source of all her troubles, internally and externally, can be traced to an unwarranted and unfounded fool illusion—the Jews believe that above all others, they are God's chosen children. That, I tell you, is the course of all their unhappiness. Obsessed with such an arrogant idea, they became intolerable of others, refusing always to meet an inter-racial circumstance half way, demanding always the whole hog or none. They generally get none. If, after thousands of years of information and education abroad, the Jew remains the same obstinate despicable and intolerant person, refusing always to learn, mingle and adapt himself to circumstance and condition, but to the contrary still seeks to rob and possess himself of other peoples lands, I'm afraid he'll get no such luck in Palestine. And, if he doesn't strip himself of that age long illusion, that he is the chosen one, and that the earth is his and the fullness thereof, and that he has a right to go up and possess himself with other people's land, I am telling him that he's going to get into an international stew which he will never forget. Already, he is being made the scapegoat for the unhappy conditions existing there in Palestine, it is based, according to communication from British colonial officials on his inability to be adaptable and tolerant and for his fool-hardiness the Arabs have made it very unpleasant for him. Despite the intrigue and influence of the Jews, within and without the British Empire, great Britain will have to act impartially. She doesn't dare offend the Mohammedan world for the sake of curry favouring the scheming Jew. Underneath this uplift in Palestine there is a deep lilp plot, and Britain must know by this time who the subtle, crafty villain is, and why it was done, and why this was considered the opportune time. The Jew is universally dissatisfied with the British administration in Palestine, because it does not get him up in political control, and as the Jew says, she will not put in practice the Balfour declaration. Lord Balfour's declaration, although well intentioned, is in itself a silly bit of political twaddle, granted, that Balfour was sincere, nevertheless, it was an error, and to carry it out, that is, if it could be carried out at all, would burden the British Empire beyond bearing. In fact, I'm afraid it would be the source of undoing the fabric of the well woven Empire. The Jews are so much to be blamed for this error (as much or more) as Mr. Balfour. They knew the circumstances and conditions, but what cared they, since they trapped the British Empire into a bargain and bound it by an illgotten promise in the time of stress to something which they themselves knew was almost impossible of fulfillment. Lard Balfour's manifesto, in behalf of Jewdom, committing the British government to the establishment of a Jewish homeland, did not take into consideration the essential and sovereign rights of the Arabian people who are the rightful owners of Palestine and the regions thereabout. Of course, I am not justifying Great Britain for permitting herself to be intrigued into a political vortex by cunning international Jewish financiers, but she must not allow herself to be torn asunder, simply to satisfy the whims of a pack of scheming Jews.

Box 21 Wonderful Electric New York "Ebony Show Boat" To Be Produced By Movietone With an offer from one of the leading movietheatre companies, J. C. Johns, popular composer, is now busy recasting "Ebony Show Boat" that was first produced some months ago for Cora Green. The company was disbanded after some misunderstanding with the bookers. "Ebony Show Boat" was one of the most sought-after revues by Broadway bookers that has ever been produced in New York. J. C. Johnson, who wrote most of Ethel Waters' songs, and also wrote the songs that Cora Green used in her sketch for Warner Brothers, will write all special music for this revue. J. K. Holt Scores His First Century Pitted against the weak Antigua Club. Jamaica enjoyed a field day. They mowed down their opponents for a scant 59 runs, allowing only two man to get into double figures, Gore and Thompson, 23 and 13 respectively. Jamaica responded with an impressive 286, of which total J. K. Holt, their imported star, was responsible for 107. He should have been dismissed earlier as he gave three chances that Antigua failed to benefit by. George Headley, another overseas star batted well for 61. J. K. obtained 4 W for 23, and J. Abrams 6 for 36. It was too one-sided to be intercating. Negro World "All Stars" Vs. Bermudians A sudden darkening of the skies, heavy drifting clouds and a downpour of rain halted the match between our "All Stars" and the Bermudians. We had scored 125 runs but before a single overseas batsman could take his stance at the ticket, the rain came. We had our 125. They had theirs to get. Who knows . . . what might have been. Frank Wooley Scores His 100th Century Another name was added to the list of cricket immortals on August 28th when Frank Wooley, noted Kent bat, compiled 176 run against Middlesex. This was Wooley's 100th century. On captaincy men are E. W. G. Gracz, Hayward, H. B. Hobbs, C. P. Madd and Pat Hendre. VARIETY C. C. WINS OVER SPORTING PLAYERS A very exciting game of cricket was played at Clovelly Park on Wednesday, Aug. 14th, between the Variety Sporting XI of Spanish Town and the Sporting Players in which the visitors were victorious by 33 runs. B. F. Isaacs, the captain of the Variety C. C. lost the toss and was sent to bat. Nix and Moodle opened for the visitors but the latter was soon bowled by Hall for a "duck." The side then collapsed to the trumbling of Hall and only three men gained double figures, Nix and Edwards scoring 14 each, and O. Spencer 21 not out in fine style. The Variety were all out for 79 runs. The homesters went to bat and could only make 46 runs of which Evans batted brilliantly for 24 runs. The rest fell to the bowling of Pelxotto and Moodle. The former got 5 wickets for 22 and the latter 4 for 24. A. Downer got 1 for no runs.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1969 THE NEW YORKER JOHN ARTHUR (Jack) JOHNSON as he was in fighting trim during his fight upward for the heavyweight championship of the world. Play Ball Yorkshire defeated Middlesex in an English county cricket match at Bradford today by 196 runs. Yorkshire scored 213 and 229 for seven wickets, declared (Greenwood, 62) and Middlesex 154 and 92 (Macauley, four wickets for 21 runs). Sussex won from Glamarganshire at Swansea by 181. Sussex compiled innings totals of 151 and 333, while Glamorgan got 115 and 188 (D. Davies, 51; Wensley, five wickets for 97 runs; Langridge, four wickets for 66 runs). Somerset won on the first innings from Warwickshire at Birmingham. Scores: Somerset, 326; Warwickshire, 226 (Kilner, 73; White, four wickets for 66 runs) and 67 four wickets. Nottinghamshire remained at the head of the county championship table when it got five points for a first-innings lead on Lancashire. The scores were: Nottinghamshire, 469 for nine wickets, declared; Lancashire, 247 and 175 for four. Payton scored 169 for Notts. The match was played at Nottingham. Hampshire beat Worcestershire at Bournemouth by four wickets. Hampshire had 291 and 271 runs for six wickets (Brown, 48; Root, four wickets for 90 runs); Worcestershire, 390 and 171 (Kennedy, six wickets for 58 runs). Derbyshire was ahead in the first innings against Kent at Dover. The Derby winning totals were 339 and 59 for no wickets, and Kent's 319 and 248 for five wickets, declared (Bryan, 124). Weicester led Essex on the first innings in the game at Leicester, the former's score being 305 (Bradshaw, 53) and the latter's 214 and 215 for seven wickets (Eastman, 79). JOHN ARTHUR (Jack) JOHNSC during his fight upward for the the world. J. K. Holt and Headley Better Jamacian Club The Jamacian Cricket Club with their two imported stars, J. M. Holt and George Headley, is in a position to give any individual club keen competition; not so much by the help of these men but by the spirit they inject in the game. The club cricketers consider it an honor to be in the line-up with two men of such calibre even though they are not living up to expectations. Holt and Headley have participated in three matches on this side of the "pond." In the first match against J. Green's "All Star" team Headley was caught for 6. Holt batted well for 36. This is his only score so far. Against All-Brooklyn and the pick of the New York League he was helpless. Headley, after getting off to a bad start, settled down in the last two matches and garnered 19 in the second and a splendid 78 in the third. J. K. claims that he cannot get accustomed to the ground and will take no chances of being hurt as there is important matches to be played when he returns home. Headley being young, is more active and it is easier for him to get away from a flighty ball. He is a great fielder, covering cover-point like "nobody's business." Against All-Brooklyn he was very successful on the ball, obtaining 7 W. for 28 runs. In the same game Holt got two for 26. The fans are disappointed in the showing of J. K. to date. The local Jamaicans have been heralding the great J. K. Holt. When he accepted the invitation to come over, they told us to come up to the matches and V. C.

K. made his two ducks we gazed around in sympathy and saw so much gloom depicted on the faces of his devotees that we refrained from even adding a comforting word. We know that these two men are bats and hope that they will both get going in the same game, treating the fans to an exhibition of good cricket, seldom seen in these parts. Embassy TheatreBars Negroes While Tickets Were Being Freely Sold Three Colored Men Were Refused Tickets Edward H. Bolling, real estate operator, 306 St. Nicholas avenue, went up to the box office of the Embassy theatre on Monday night and tried to purchase a ticket for the show playing there, and was bluntly told the house was sold out for the next two weeks. Lorenzo Debnam, 2315 Seventh avenue, and Floyd G. Phillips were witnesses to this. The latter two also tried to secure tickets but experienced the same treatment as was accorded Bolling. These three colored men then stood in the lobby and saw several white people purchase tickets for the current performance. Feeling that they had been discriminated against, they asked a white purchaser to show his ticket to them. This the white man did, and it was soon discovered that there were plenty tickets to be had, but not by colored people. They took the matter to Attorney Abraham Brekstone, of 1540 Broadway who sent Albert Ogler of his office with money to purchase two tickets. Albert Ogler got his tickets, and the lawyer is now instituting a civil action against the theatre, under the Civil Rights Bill, for damages amounting to $800 each man, or a total of $1,800 for the three colored men. "AINT MISBERAVIN" CORNE'S NEW BONG AND DANCE HIT HOT Chocolates Ice HUDSON The. W 41st Dr. 1:30 Closed Monday, The. Wed. & Th. 2:30 MISBERAVIN EVERY TUESDAY Boxing Shadows Kid Chocolate Takes Singer Into Camp SINGER PROVED TO BE A FALSE ALARM Well boys, its all over but the shouting and believe me there is plenty of that going on. Now that the 2 to 1 choice failed to register, and why did he fall is the question? From my observations he failed because he was too scared to fight. Singer noted for his powerful right hand and outweighing the Kid by five pounds, should have tore into Chocolate and knocked over his cup, if possible, but all Al did was to go through a lot of motions, holding his right cocked for delivery as though the Kid would drop his guard and say to him: "Alright, Mr. Singer, send it over." A swell chance, this Cuban boy does not know what it is to throw a fight and for this I give him credit of being one of the best fighters the race has ever had, get me. "Ever Had," and I don't mean possibly. NOT EVEN EXTENDED A number of people of course, not colored, will tell you that Chocolate did not seem himself, to this, I will say take away the Kid's leads on this occasion and there would not have been any fight at all. Reverse the odds, had Chocolate outweighed Singer about five pounds you would see him always leading and tearing in. As it were the Kid was not sent in there to win, if he had the odds would have been in his favor. Singer, upon your shoulders rested the burden of taking the Kid for a ride for at least ten seconds. All other white boys had failed to do this so the job was left up to you, but you failed. Those that had placed in you their confidence and on you their dough, ray, me, were left outside looking in. WHAT OTHERS SAY So sayeth Bill Corum of the evening "Journal." "If they fight again at a weight that Singer can make without weakening himself he will knock Chocolate out." This is the same old line of swat they give you after every fight, wherein a colored boy beats a good white boy. To this I will say that if they ever meet again Chocolate will knock him for a row of moths. Dan Parker states in the Mirror, "There is no color line in darkest Harlem and that's where the polo ground is located," which may explain why a colored lad got a break there last Thursday night." Now Mr. Parker you are calling it wrong here. I have never seen a colored boy on the end of a break yet. Since you bring in the color question, which to my mind, should never enter in the fields of sport, especially so in our states. I have attended a good deal of fights wherein the main event, was a colored and white boy, and I chance to say that such a bout was more widely accepted then straight bouts. There is nothing interesting in a straight bout. Take the Loughran-Braddock fight, the promoters lost money on this, and why, because they lacked attraction. Talk about a colored lad getting a break, why that's absurd, since the judges are of the opposite race, as well as the referee. No, the Kid did not get a break here, but to the contrary his just due. I have always maintained that Lou Magnolia is the squarrest referee in service. He knows no color, but scores on the actual results. To him I doff my hat, and wish him a continued success of main event assignments. HARD LOSERS There are yet a few white men that are prone to be hard losers or in other words who are not willing to give credit to anything the colored man does, that is of marked interest. That is why a few narrow minded folks booed the decision and why because they lacked sportsmanship. They state, in some papers, that Al isn't squawking about the decision. Then why should anyone else, because who is there better to know than he. I admire his sportsmanship. I will agree with Bill Corum; give us a return bout. What promoter is game enough to book it. Will it be a sell-out? Why, of course, and why shouldn't it be? Do you know how long the fans have wanted to see these two boys meet? You can gauge by the crowd that was attracted which surpassed any attendance at the Polo Grounds. Chocolate won and how—with arms down. Delany's Success in N. Y. Is Predicted NEW YORK—Pledging that they would pile up 45,000 votes for hbm friends of Hubert E. Delany, assistant United States Attorney and regular Republican candidate for Congress from the 21st congressional district, predict his success here this week. Leaders say that race voters in Harlem are determined to make a valiant fight in the contest for a seat in Congress. They are determined that they shall not be outdone by the first district of Illinois, they say. Wendy BeFrist The Republican National Committee and the Republican Congressional Committee will both be approached by friends of Delany's in an effort to gain substantial assistance for the campaign to register and vote the 15,000 Negroes who are eligible to vote but who have never exercised their franchise.

AL BROWN hops over to Copenhagen and defends his American crown by defeating Knud Larson, European champion in a ten-round match, which makes him the Bantam-weight Champion of the World. Anyone that dares to question his status let them step forward or forever hold their peace. Talk about your fighting champions! First we had Tiger Flowers. He never asked any quarter but took them on as they came. In fact, the only real champs in the fighting racket were colored boys. Who is there to challenge this statement of fact? Back to our only colored champ of today. Al Brown, who will rush back to America and go in training for his next fight which takes place at the Bronx Stadium the latter part of September. He is booked to meet Teddy Baldock. Jess McMahon sewed up a good one when he clenched this one, as Al has a good following, and above all, is a fighting champ. --- HARRY WILLS has really entered the arena again. I wonder if he will make a better impression this time than he did the last time out. He claims that there is a lot of fight still left in him. That may be so, but what about speed and science or the Latin qualities that to make up a real fighter? A lot of us have the call, but what of the answer? That, is the question. So Harry, you should make sure first that you can withstand the results of combat as there are too many fighters cutting paper dolls now. You should be comfortably fixed from a financial point of view, but if you must, then go to it. I will await the results of your combat with Andres Castance, before giving judgment. Anyway, I wish you plenty of good-luck as we are greatly in need of a good heavyweight right now. Aim of Uniting All Units of Negro Race Is Fully Stressed Aim of Uniting All Units of Negro Race Is Fully Stressed At Business Session of Convention Organizations are Discussed KINGSTON, Ja., Aug. 17. - A practical effort of uniting every unit of the Negro Race throughout the world into one organized body was the important subject under discussion yesterday afternoon at the 25th business session of the Sixth Annual Convention in progress at "Edelwels Park." Although not having completely reached its equilibrium, after the uphot consequent on the stand taken by Mr. Fred A. Toote, in defending himself against the accusations of certain delegates, the House discussed the subject with full recognition of its significance. The Hon. Fanning of New York advocated the centralizing of all James clubs and societies. The Hon. James of Gary said, if he had seen it rightly, the race is divided into different branches throughout the world, and every branch was divided against itself in religion and every other way. They would find that they had a Baptist Church here and a Methodist there. The Baptists were cutting the throats of the Methodists and the Methodists were cutting the throats of the Baptists. They had Masons, and hundreds of other societies whose views and methods, although for the benefit of the race, are as far removed from each other as the east is from the west. He believed that the Convention would be doing great service to the race if it could devise means to bring these organisations within its fold, letting them know that they were in no way opposed to them and that everybody's views must be respected. They had ignorant people in the organization who would say that any Negro who was not a member of the organization was a food. The Hon. Price of Guatemala said that they were drifting towards sectionalism. They should always bear in mind, as far as the Negro race was concerned that "united they stand, and divided, they fall." The Hon. Allen of New York stated that the Presidents of the various Divisions of the U. N. I. A. throughout the world should make it a business to go around representatives of secret societies in their vicinity, and have a heart-to-heart talk with them, bringing before them the aims and objects of the U. N. I. A. not yet politically self-conscious. Moore Not Pledged Alderman Fred R. Moore has not yet pledged his support to the emsi- Jamaica, B. W.I. Is Producing Good Fighters Letters From the "Big Three" Put Before J. B. B. C. GOOD PROPOSITIONS Local boxing fans will have in the not distant future the privilege of seeing the redoubtable Kid Cephas (undisputed welterweight champion of Jamaica), Busy Billy (the Barbados warrior who gave Cephas a stern battle in Trinidad some weeks ago, which is still carrying a trail of discussion), and the hard-hitting slugger-fighter, Jimmy Cox, in the local arena, and the advent of these "big three" of the squared circle will set at rest for a good time references to the Jamaica Boxing Board of Control marking time. It is not the duty of a Boxing Board of Control to promote fights, but the local board has been looking around all the white to aid prospective promoters in arranging good boxing shows in which patrons would not be let down. At a meeting of the Jamaica Busing Board of Control held yesterday afternoon at 5:15 o'clock, at which there were present Messrs. Owen Samuel (chairman), D. W. Kerr, Martin G. Smith, Fred G. Joy, G. Van Seggellen, and Mike Hanna, the proposition was put before the board, and the matter was fully discussed. A local promoter is in receipt of letters from Busy Billy and Kid Caphas (both of whom are at present in Trinidad), requesting that he be arranged here, in which they will figure. Each man refers to the recent encounter in Trinidad, and as it is, each is of the opinion that he defended the other, and can do it again. Eager to Come Cephas and Busy Billy are eager to come to Jamaica to settle the issue, and the board is of the opinion that such a fight would be a good fill-in to the present marking of times which has overshadowed boxing. Another interesting communication brought to the notice of the board was a letter received by a well-known sportsman from Jimmy Cox (who is now in London) and the conditions set out being reasonable, it is a forgone conclusion that Jimmy can be in Kingston in another six weeks. No boxing fan can yet forget the teasing, lashing, mauling Jimmy Cox. Arrangements are now under way to secure a spacious stadium for putting on these big shows, and everything ought to move smoothly provided the ever-sporting spirit of Jamaica audiences is displayed. The Busy Billy-Cephas bout in Trinidad was followed with keen interest by boxing fans here, cuttings from the Trinidad papers being reproduced and read carefully, and even the guarded writers of the press in the sister colony in some respects ventured to state that Cephas had the better of the go. Nevertheless, the decision was a draw, and all efforts to get a return bout there proved a failure. The board at its meeting yesterday also considered the proposal of putting on amateur bouts, and the setting of the Lightweight Championship of Jamaica was dealt with. Several other matters were discussed, and the meeting adjourned at 6:50 o'clock. WOULD like to step out of my character for a brief moment to state that to my mind the two most outstanding race leaders of international fame and note are the Hon. Marcus Garvey, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association of the World, and the Hon. J. Finley Wilson, Grand Enabled Ruler of the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Eks of the World. These two men are pure and true on race principals, and if it was humanly possible for them to meet in the center of the road that leads to Africa's redemption, shake hands and say to each other, "Let us walk this road together." I would venture to say that the realization of a new Africa would not be far distant. May this come to pass real soon. ASTHMA TORTURED HIM 50 YEARS Finally Escaped In Chuteen.

She was magnificent!y gowned as usual and the neatness of her costume dis- played her to a decided advantage. Tee sheriff was alone and he invited Maud to @ chair. He sensed that [ane had something to say of con. siderable tmportance. There was a vase of sweet peas on the polished table, and the window: in the stone walls of the office were talsed. Lace curtains there, pinne¢ back with little pink ribbons, fut. tered in the breeze. However, the windows were up snd Maud hesitated to disclose her care- fully laid plans. It would be a sim- ple enough matter for listeners on the outside to hear what she had to say. and since she was about to risk her life, abe bad plenty of room to hesi- tate. She was aware that once what ahe had in mind was said, there would be no way of recalling it. After a moment, she went about her business with tact and discretion She thanked the sheriff for his kind- ness of the past, ard wished him all the good luck in the world. Hold- ing down the fob of county sheriff wasn't as soft as people thought: there ‘were certain good policemen. He knew when he was face to face with something that would later prove Profitable to him. So her cautiously stood up, and just as cautiously cross ed to the windows, letting them down, so that it would be impossible for any one outside to hear what tran- spired between him and his visitor. From that moment on, Maud show- ed that she was in the grip of a feel- Ing of great relief. She came directly fo the point. They had threntened 0 kill her if she “squealed.” and she nad to enercixe some little xhow of caution. She spoke of the electric elevator, and how conveniently sit. uated the jail was. She mentioned the fact that it was one of the finest jails she had ever seen. There was everything there to make life easy for the unfortunate, She really did not have anything but admiration for the way things were arranged. But —there was one drawback. ; This drawback had to do with the narrow width of the elevator door Not more than ono person could en. ter the lft or leave it at the same time, and as a rule, the prisoners were free of loaf in the corridor outside the Tow of cells. Now suppose they—the prisoners--had planned a jail deliv- ery. It would be a simple matter for them to “two-time” the sheriff when ‘he made his way out of the elevator; fe, take bim on surprise. And, of course, there were times when the sheriff made his way to the jail alone, with food for the prisoners. Now, if those prisoners wanted to escape, they would surely choose this opportunity to try a “get-2-way,” and the sheriff, more than likely, would not know what had happened until it was too Inte. It always paid to be careful, Besides, who knew but that the prisoners were fomenting a jail break now. ‘The sheriff did not ask any ques- tions. He knew he bad one or two pretty bad customers locked up, but he had always allowed freedom of the cells among the priscners. That was one of his kindnesses. ‘The storm broke. “Hands up to the rafters, boys, and God have mercy on the one that makes a false move.

The de- feated candidate was Casper Holstein, turfman and philantropist, Harlem's favorite son. ‘The 1,100 delegates and 30,000 visiting members left on crowded spe- cial trains for thelr homes, worn out, but happy in the knowledge that they have staged the most spectacular and exhausting convention in the history of Negro Eikdom. ‘The general verdict was that the popular Holstein had been “out-gen- eraled, out-graveled an dout-steam- rollered” by the wily Wilson, whose strategy has kept him in the supreme office for eight successive years and won him the title of “Little Napol- J.

But the plot wax nipped in the bud because of the ingenuity of Maud Huff. the heroine. eatin: 4 bers of the brotherhood. The police men departed. J. Finlay Wileos Promptly made the patroimen “Eiki by edict” and they returned. Steele potnted out that not ever Eiks were permitted to enter the grand lodge session unless they were delegates. The policemen were bar- red again. The grand exalted ruler, after a basty study of the rules, in- voked the supreme prerogative and bestowed on each of the patrolmen the title of honorary past exalted rulers, The patrolmen, tnvested with and obviously pleased by this new dig- nity, filed in once more, this time to stay. Bteele made a fiery speech denounc- ing “Grand Exalted Militaryiam,” but he knew that he was vanquished. Eight Hours for Single Balict Only one ballot was required for Wilson's victory, but the casting of this ballot took eight hours. The Hol- stein forces had waged a long bat- tle for the use of the Australian bal- lot. They finally obtained this in a slightly modified form known as the Australian I. B. P. O. E. of W." bal- jot, requiring a complicated arrange- ment of “watchers” for bot’ sides. This added to the delay. It was found necessary to remove certain watchers on charges of “intention to jouble-cross.” The ballots themaclvex required that the name of chief can- iidates and a score of minor candi- tates be written out in full. This was . slow matter for some delegates, specially those from the rural dis- ricts. i At the end of it all, J.

Sentimiento Unisono Como Factor Principal en la Realización de Nuestras Aspiraciones. Poder Industrial y Político Denotan Adelanto y Prosperidad. La Hora Ha Sonado En El Reloj de la Esperanza El sendero de la opinión universal se dirige hacia la unificación individual de los pueblos. Cada grupo dentro de la gran variedad humana persigue por medio de organización, la realización de grandes ventajas. Nosotros como parte integrante de uno de esos grupos y constituyentes de una organización, con aspiración idéntica adelantamos un paso proclamando la misma doctrina. Para solidificar y llevar a vias de hechos ese ideal, la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra convocó su sexta convención internacional de los pueblos negros. En dicho gran conclave se sancionó el reajuste del futuro educativo, industrial, político y religioso de la raza negra. Esta organización en sus diez años de existencia, ha realizado mas que todos los demas movimientos de nuestro propio elemento. Ella ha obtenido resultados satisfactorios despertando universalmente el sentimiento de progreso del negro a un punto tal, que ya nos reuimos y de un modo práctico perseguimos la reconstrucción de una raza mas fuerte y mas independiente. Nuestra organización se ha coducido de manera tal, que ha obtenido reconocimiento no solamente de parte de otras razas sino también de naciones, como un factor en el reajuste de los acontecimientos humanos y con ese crédito se dirige hacia la cúspe del éxito. La sexta convención internacional de nuestro pueblo recienteamente celebrada, sancionó el establecimiento de una nueva corporación naviera que provea a la necesidad para la cual su primera intentiva fue determinada. Nuestra raza tiene actualmente necesidad imperiosa de medios de transporte para establecer, no solamente la comunicación comercial con su elección a través de los males, sino para marcar también su enedad en las grandes negociaciones del universo. Las grandes corporaciones navieras de otras razas han estmblecido el transporte de carga y pasaje en casi todos los puntos del globo, para comodidad de su propio pueblo; y vemos un excesivo número de grandes embarcaciones viajando entre Europa y America, conduciendo año tras año a millones de emigrantes del viejo mundo al nuevo continente y llevando a un regreso la riqueza de este vaso campo industrial. Con las mismas miras debemos nosotros establecer nuestro propia transportación entre Africa, el viejo continente y el continente americano con sus respectivas islas. Es verdaderamente inminente el remedio a tal necesidad y por tal concepto nuestra apelación a nuestro pueblo para que contribuya al éxito de esta nueva empresa y por ende al éxito de la organización, la cual intenta llevar a cabo todos y cada uno de los puntos delineados en el programa aprobado por la recientemente celebrada convención internacional. Con la determinación que caracteriza a nuestra organización, ella ha de poner en práctica todo aquello que significa desarrollo y progreso para la raza. La hora de nuestra emancipación ha sonado en el reloj de nuestras esperanzas y la vibración de su sonido penetra en nuestro ser, ejerciendo una influencia sobrenatural. Aprovechemos la oportunidad de tales circunstancias y con ese sentimiento dirijamos nuestros pasos en dicho derrotero. No pasemos de por alto la importancia de la hora y prosigamos por el camino recto hacia la meta de nuestras aspiraciones, llevando en mente el gran objetivo de una raza emancipada y de una patria redimida. 355 Lenox Avenue Cidad de Nueva York, N. Y. NW Los criollos, descendientes de colonos españoles del centro y de la parte este de la isla de Santo Domingo, se declaron emancipados de la madre patria en 1921 siguiendo el partido independentista que encabezaba el doctor José Núñez de Cáceres, quien concibió la idea de poner a Santo Domingo bajo la protección de la Gran Colombia que estaba libertando el genio de Bolivar. Fracasó esta idea porque el gobierno de Núñez de Cáceres fue efimero. Se opuso a ella la República de Haiti, que se habia libertado de Francia desde el 1804, e invadiendo a la antigua parte española de la isla de declaró una e indivisible y extendió a toda ella la soberania del gobierno haitiano. La fusión de haitianos y dominicanos en una sola nacionalidad era imposible por diferencias de pueblos surgidos por distintas colonizaciones, la del oeste de la isla que habia sido francesa y la del resto y mayor parte de ella que habia sido siempre española dejando como heredad las características hispanamericanas. El pateblo de Santo Domingo,—siguiendo la inspiración y los planes revolucionarios de su procer Juan Pablo Duarte, considerado por nosotros el padre de la patria—se declaró separado de Haiti y proclanó la independencia de la República Dominicana. La guerra de esta separación fue cruda y con algunos intervalos duró desde el 1844 hasta el 1856. Apenas tenia quince años de existencia la joven República Dominicana cuando surgia en ella un partido de pesimistas que tenían la recaida, es decir, que a la larga fuera vencida cavendo de nuevo bajo la dominación de Haiti. Este temor fue la causa principal de la anexión a España realizada en 1861. Se eclipsó la débil soberania dominicana y Santo Domingo pasó a ser una capitania de la monarquia española, cambio que los ingenos anexionistas consideraban una reincorporación del país a su Madre Patria. Pero esta regresión nunca gozó de simpatia en la generalidad del pueblo dominicano, el que presentó un frente rebelde contra la autoridad del gobierno español y encabezado por sus jefes de armas, antianexionistas, se pronunció libre en Capotillo en el año 1863. La segunda guerta libertadora dominicana fue más corta, pero mucho más intensa y desastrosa que la primera. Los revolucionarios tenian que hacerle una ofensiva tenaz a tropas disciplinas y aguerridas como las españolas, pero la táctica de las guerrillas y las hostilidades de la manigna estaban a favor de la causa llanaada restauradora de la república. España mando a esta campaña en Santo Domingo un contingente de más de 20,000 hombres y en ella se iniciaron los oficiales que, alcanzando los más altos grados, más tarde cubrieron de glorias las armas de la secular y combatida monarquia del Ciel. Entre muchos los renombrados generales Vara de Rey, Primo de Rivera el ascendiente del actual iefe del gobierno español. Weyler, y la Gandara, quien historió en un libro la campaña y causas de la dramática derrota española. En 1865, triunfante la revolución dominicana se impuso un armisticio y la retirada de las tropas de la ocupación. La República Dominicana restauro su soberania, y generosaniente reconocida por España y las potencias entro perdurablemente en el concierto de las naciones libres, a las que pertenecce por la determinación de su pueblo y por el derscho de albedrio independiente que se gana con las armas. Desde el año 65 hasta el presente nuestra patria ha seguido un camino ascendente, lleno atrechos, de peligros y caidas que ha salvado el patriotismo, pero siempre. = Organizació Intenta Establecer Embajadas El establecimiento de embajadas en Washington, Paris, Berlin, Roma, Bruselas, Geneva, Tokio, China, India, Oeste y Sun de Africa que represente y projeja los intereses de la raza negra en general, fue la proposición sometida a discusión en la sesión vigésima tercera de la sexta convención internacional de los pueblos negros, celebrada en la ciudad de Kingston, isla de Jamaica. de la va sea el protejer Mrs. Phyllis Cohen and son.

RENNEGARBE CAN'T WATHIN MARTIN WE CAN'T DON'T NATHIN MARTIN GAMES Después de un interesante debate en el que el honorable Smith de la ciudad de Detroit manifestó con enfasis, que solamente hombres de experiencia e influencia deberian ser seleccionados como embajadores de la raza, la siguiente resolución propuesta por el señor W. F. Bailey de Kingston y secundada por el honorable Smith de Sola, Cuba, fue aprobada. "Resuelvase que un comité de cinco personas sea nombrada para plantear los medios de estacionar en aquellos centros de civilización donde el número de nuestro elemento alli residente así la requiera, representantes de la raza cuya misión exclusiva sea el velar por los intereses y protejer los derechos del negro." Dicho comité fue constituido por los honorables Smith de Detroit, presidente, Edwards de la Habana, William Ware de Cincinnati, Alberta Robinson de Chicago y Hoxie de California. Socialismo Vs Nacionalismo Dos fuerzas definidas, el socialismo y el nacionalismo, impulsan los acontecimientos en Europa, hacia la ruptura de la continuidad del dasarrollo politico y las constituciones del continente, según pronunciado en el Instituto de Politica de Williamstown. Mass. por George Young miembro laborista del parlamento británico. Una de estas fuerzas, dijo el orador, aspirando a establecer nuevas formas de democracia, tiene la apariencia de ser revolucionaria. La otra, tendría, a revivir el gobierno personalista, la dictadura militar o la monarquia, tiene un aspecto reaccionario. Estableciendo que estos cambios vinieron como resultado de la guerra, el señor Young declaro que imperios y monarquias europeos han sido hechos pedazos, pero que la fe en el gobierno personal en general ha sido fortalecida con la experiencia de la época de la guerra. Desde la guerra muchas democracias han sucumbido a las dictaduras, como despotismos a la democracia; y la adhesión al partido y al parlamento, característica de la democracia de la victoria, cede el puesto al reclamo de la democracia de una libertad más amplia. El experimento soviet, anadió el orador, es un producto nativo tan peculiar que es de imposible transplantación y está cambiando del comunismo teórico al colectivismo práctico. Concluye diciendo que los experimentos italianos del estado basados en el sindicalismo, probablemente conducen a otros estados latinos e ensayar sustitios similares para el gobierno parlamentario. pre recto hacia el propósito de asigurar a la nación levantándola entre las que tienen razón de existir. Actualmente, bajo los auspicios de la paz, se está llevando a cabo en la República Dominicana una restauración en los aspectos políticos y materiales de su vida, pues así considera la crítica justa la actuación liberal, de reformas y progresos, iniciados por el honorable presidente Vasquez.—Rafael Ortiz Arzeno en La Prema, N.

C.—Preparations are under way here for the big inter-social football classic which will be played in Durham on Saturday, October 12, between Eagles of the North Carolina College and the Big Green team of Wilberforce. The game is to be a home-coming affair for the North Carolina College Alumni, as well as a get-together occasion for the Wilberforce alumni in this section of the country. It is being extensively advertised by both colleges, and an elaborate program of entertainment is being planned for the many out-of-town people who are expected for the game. Coach Grudup, of the Eagles, is now at Harvard University, taking instructions in coaching. From there he has sent out a call to football practice, and the majority of last year's varsity men will report for duty on September 10, when practice formally gets under way. Much fine material for the gridiron is found among the new enrolments. The league park, with a seating capacity of seven thousand, has been secured for this occasion, and record attendance is being expected for this big classic. Keen interest throughout this section is being shown in the event. A. Moore Shearin, president of the Wilberforce alumni association, stated this week that he had sent out a call for all Wilberforce graduates in this section to make a pilgrimage to Durham on that day, and had invited President Jones, of Wilberforce, to be among those present. The occasion will be the biggest of its kind for the North Carolina College, and preparations are being made to make the home-coming a great revival of college spirit, bringing the alumni into closer contact.
