2,000 People Hear Garvey Denounced

GARVEY IS ALLY OF
IMPERIAL KNIGHTS
Robert W. Bagnall Opposes Garvey Movements as Visionary And Ridiculous.
"GARVEY MUST GO" IS SLOGAN OF NEW YORKERS
"Friends of Negro Freedom" to Hold Series of Anti-Garvey Meetings.
New York City, Aug. 25—Rallying to the cry of "Marcus Garvey must go," nearly 2,000 members of the Friends of Negro Freedom meeting Sunday afternoon in Douglas Hall, Lenox Avenue and 142d Street, listened to speakers denounce Garvey as an ally of the Ku Klux Klan. "robber of ignorant negroes" and "demagogic charlatan."
Dr. Robert W. Bagnall, organizer for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who spoke on "The Madnes of Marcus Garvey," denounced the leader of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, who resigned his post of President General last Saturday, and said the negro leader had made a failure of every business venture he touched, losing hundreds of thousands of dollars belonging to persons who trusted him. He opposed Garvey's "back to Africa" movement impractical, visionary and ridiculous.
To Hold Other Meetings
The chairman, A. Philip Randolph, announced that the meeting was the third of a series of four designed to create opinion among negroes against Garvey. He said that similar meetings would be held all over the United States "in a crusade to drive Garvey from communities where negroes reside." Dr. Bagnall aroused great applause when he compared Garvey to Don Quixote battling with windmills. "He has misled poor, ignorant negroes," he said, "promising them a competence for life from their investments in his enterprises."
Declaras Garvey Must Go
Replying to Garvey's assertions that his enemies were "tools of white people," Dr. Bagnall declared Garvey to be "inspired by those midnight assassins, the Ku Klux Klan." He declared that "Garvey must go be cause like Judas Iscariot, he sold himself for thirty pieces of silver" in order to curry favor with the Ku Klux Klan. The speaker referred to Garvey's reported visit to Atlanta and to the statement credited to Garvey's secretary that the Ku Klux Klan might rehabilitate the Black Star line by investing money in it, and said:
"Garvey tells you to accept the Ku Klux Klan at its face value. He tells you not to oppose the Kan which has lynched and robbed you again and again. What's Garvey the leader who shows himself a cowardly, whining adventurer, an individual of doubtful honesty and a demagogic charlatan."
ST. PAUL BAPTIST HOLD

Klan Initiates 4,650 Members in Chicago
25,000 People See Candidates Sworn as Members Into Invisible Empire.
Chicago, August 25—Beneath the red glare from a blazing cross, what was said to be the nation's biggest class of new Ku Klux Klanmen—4,650 candidates—was initiated in a huge field just outside of Chicago late Saturday night.
While thousands of voices chanted the surging roll of "Onward, Christian Soldiers," the candidates, still garbed in their working clothes, faced the cross and its circle of white-clad initiators and pledged their allegiance to the "Invisible Empire."
The mystic rites were held in a great field, thousands of automobiles being parked in a big circle a quarter of a mile in diameter. In the center of the circle, outlined by the glaring headlights of the cars, was the cross, twenty feet high and wrapped in cotton from the Southern fields. It was estimated that 25,000 persons witnessed the ceremonies, representing the eighteen Klans in Chicago and the twelve outside of Cook county in Illinois.

Indianapolis Park Named After Race's Greatest Champion of Freedom's Cause.
PARK IS NOT GIVEN AS DISCRIMINATORY MOTIVE
Dr. Sumner A. Furniss Served on Council When Property Was Purchased for Park.
Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 25—Douglas park named after Frederick Douglas, the greatest champion of freedom's cause the race ever produced, is situated in the Northeastern part of the city, bounded on the north by 30th st., on the south by 25th st., on the east by Ralston avenue, and on the west by Martindale avenue, comprising 60 acres of lovely landscape. This plot of land was purchased under the administration of ex-Mayor Charles W. Jewett, which virtually completes a chain of parks around Indianapolis, the beautiful city or homes, a name more appropriate for the Hoosier Capital could not have been selected. This gives Indianapolis a variety of parks so geographically located that the people in every section of the city are well blessed with one of these big front yards and can enjoy themselves without going to the trouble of having to cross the city to find recreational grounds.
Mayor Shank, thru the Park Boare of which ex-Mayor Chas. A. Brookwater is chairman, and Mrs. Sarah Shank is a member, says it is his purpose to see that Douglass park will be brought up to the standard of the best parks in the city. Parks are a necessity and investment from which the tax payers receive profitable returns in recreation and other things which are conductive to health and vigor which makes price and cost a secondary matter.
R. Walter Jarvis, Superintendent of Parks, is losing no time in planning to make a more beautiful Indianapolis and will see that Douglass park gets its share. Mr. Jarvis was formerly superintendent of recreation and was succeeded by Edward E. McBride, who has proven to be thoroughly competent in every respect. Dr. Sumner A. Furniss was a member of the city council at the time of the purchase of Douglass park and is to be commended for his stand and influence in bringing about its purchase. It is filling a long-felt want.
American Unity League Launches Nationwide Tirade Against K. K. K. Movements.
MOVEMENT SPONSORED BY VOLUNTARY DONATIONS
Bishop Fallows, Honorary Chairman, Says Klan is Menace To Religious Freedom.
(Associated Negro Press.)
Chicago, August 25—A nation-wide effort to curb the activities of the Ku Klux Klan was launched at a meeting of the American Unity League here. Bishop Samuel Fallows of the Reformed Episcopal Church was named honorary chairman of the militant organization. Patrick H. O'Donnell is chairman.
"A national conference on campaign plans will be held here, September 5, to which delegates from every state and leaders representing all the racial and religious groups in America are being invited," said Mr. O'Donnell.
"Our organization is unique in that there are no fees or membership dues. It is financed by the voluntary contributions of those who sympathize with its efforts.
"While the League is non-political, it will oppose candidates who are to be supported by the 27,000 Klansmen in Chicago in the Fall elections," he continued.
The League plans to resume the anti-Klan campaign launched locally last year under the leadership of former Governor Edward F. Dunne. The Founders' Committee includes lay and clerical leaders of all racial, religious and poitica groups.
Headquarters have been established at 127 North Dearborn Street.
Unity League Committees are being organized in every state and county in which the Ku Klux Klan gains a foothold, and through mass meetings, patriotic demonstrations and an educational propaganda, its danger is pointed out.
Bishop Fallows says: "The Klan is a menace to religious freedom, a source of danger to the state, and its growing strength should be curbed through the united effort of all true Americans, regardless of creed, race, or condition in life."

Sheriff Foils Mob With UncannyTrick
Has Prisoner Walk From Jail as Lynchers Search Jail— Trouble Averted.
Vinita, Okla., Aug. 25—When members of a mob that sought Elias Ridge, young negro whom officers say confessed to the brutal murder of a white woman, entered the Craig county jail here upon invitation or Sheriff Ridénour to "see for themselves that he was not there." Ridge was standing behind the door to admit them. When the searchers had passed into the building, Ridge, a straw hat pulled over his eyes, sauntered out with two deputy sheriffs walking unconcernedly near him. Three blocks down the street the three entered a motor car and sped to Claremont, whire the prisoner was placed in the Rogers county jail.
Sheriff Ridenour disclosed the details of the ruse yesterday.
The negro is charged with the murder of Mrs. George Adair White, wife of a Mayes county farmer. The killing occurred in the presence of her two young children.

OUTLINES NEW POLICY OF NAT'L BUSINESS LEAGUE
Pleads for More Cooperation and System of Business Men before Huge Crowd.
DR. MOTON RE-ELECTED LEAGUE'S PRESIDENT
Convention regarded as Biggest Success in Recent Years: Outlook Bright.
Norfolk, Virginia, August 25—Every available seat in the City Armory was occupied when Dr Moton president of the National Negro Business League delivered his annual address to the League in its Twenty-Third session Wednesday night, August, 16th.
He briefly reviewed the work of the National Negro Business League and set forth its aspirations.
The large crowd listed attentively while Dr. Moton delivered an address that will be long remembered by all who heard it.
Outlines Program
The speaker of the evening, Dr. R. R. Moton, was presented by Hon. J. C. Napier. Dr Moton delivered a comprehensive address of survey on the Business league in which he enumerated the subjoined program.
"First, the effective organization of the three bureaus which were approved last year at Atlanta. I refer to the bureau of business, the bureau of public education and co-operation, and the bureau of health. Let me emphasize particularly the bureau for business promotion, because it is fundamental. The plan calls for the purchase of blocks of stock by business men in every line, the entire proceeds of which would be applied to the creation of such a fund to be operated by a competent directorate along conservative lines.
Urges Trade Boosting Campaign "I wish to recommend that we undertake the revival of what have been called "Trade Boosting Campaigns," these campaigns to be put over in every community where there is a local branch of the National Negro Business league. "A third feature of this program that should be of great help in promoting Negro business is the organization and conduct of short courses under the auspices of local leagues. in business for Negro business men
"Fourth, I think that the time has now come for the National Negro Business league to employ a director or secretary or agent of some kind who shall devote all of his time to the organization and promotion of local business leagues and to the work of establishing a suitable agency for putting our business men in touch with the most helpful sources of aid in the promotion and development of their business.
"And last but not least. I wish to recommend that the league establish a series of scholarships that would make it possible to select each year one or two strong promising young men of our Race and send them to one of the standard schools of commerce or perhaps journalism where they would fit themselves to enter a business career with a thorough knowledge of the principles of trade and commerce."
"It is such possibilities as these that constitute the basis for the work of the National Negro Business league and more and more I am convinced that there is a real need and a real demand for such an organization as we have in the Business League. The Negro race needs the inspiration and information which this organization with its well organized and affiliated bodies can give. It also needs the unification of effort which the National league represents, if we are to achieve the economic upbuildings which is essential to the continued and permanent development of the Race along all lines."
The exercises were closed with a speech by Hon. Bolton Smith (white) (Continued on page 4)

Segregation offends us chiefly by arbitrarily setting one aside as belonging to an inferior group. While it is not a measure directed exclusively toward the color of skin, the carefully cultivated attitude of Americans gives the word but one meaning. We see in segregation just what white propagandists wish us to see—that we are inferior and the pathetic part about it is that we accept this peculiar means of expression seriously.
In every standard of measurement applied to mankind we are conspicuous of qualifying creditably and the very viciousness of finding ourselves unacceptable goods us to justified, but impotent fury.
The time is ripe to take that serene consciousness of worth and wear it about us proudly. Hiding it under a hang dog, supplicating spirit only intensifies the condition.

The increasing number of students now applying for entrance in colleges makes it necessary that some selective process of admission be established. The president of Brown University says that discrimination should not be by religion or race or examination but according to character. The student should be morally desirable as well as intellectually eager and he estimates that this would probably eliminate twenty-five per cent of the students who are now attending college.

COWARD—MARCUS GARVEY'S THE
The Negroes future in the economic world depends to a large extent upon his churches, lodges and schools for these they have. Through their great newspapers, magazines and public speakers they should be taught to make them modern methods of waging thoughts, that have to do with our present day questions. We have more than five-hundred colleges and normal schools, and nearly fifty-thousand (50,000) negro churches, and we can scarcely count our lodges, and God only knows the millions of dollars and energy invested in these institutions, but any child can count our factories and stores. Who could measure the effect of our future, if we could turn away from these lines and invest one-third as much in factories and stores where the members of these organizations might earn a day's pay from the institutions which they have built out of blood money. These institutions would then play a guiding roll in the uplift of the masses instead of teaching and wasting time on old ideas that have little or no bearing on the pressing questions of the day, or the signs of the modern church, lodges, and schools we have begun to affear. They must simply admit the facts that the people have showered out their money to build these institutions and these institutions must make the people. Why not the leaders in all kinds of work unite in a grand rally for factories and our stores? Why stay down when we can stand up? "Let no man say no." Let's study our railroad man and his opportunities. They are a class of men who here-to-fore have not been given serious consideration, and yet it is a fact that no corporation in America has in its employ such a large number of our people. It is said that there are fifty-thousand Negroes employed on the railroads of the country, an average earning capacity of one-hundred dollars ($100) a month. What a power these men could be in the economic and commercial up-lift of our people. We men of the rails must see our opportunities and begin to read and write concerning them. Why not study the modern needs of our people and decide to provide the missing links. Then and not until then will the God of Hope be our God, and we his people.

"We say, therefore, to the Negro enemies of the past: We are ready for you; and before the 31st of August comes we are going to give you your Waterloo. They threaten to smash the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Let me tell you somebody is going to be smashed in New York between the first and 31st of August. We have never yet gone out of the way to interfere with any organization or any Negro individual, but any Negro individual or Negro organization within the bounds of the United States of America that thinks it can fight and intimidate the Universal Negro Improvement Association; . . . let you be the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; let you be Negro Socialists—let me tell you, you are preparing for your Waterloo.

Of course, we will sit up nights and worry about the "waters" of this "Waterloo." Does he mean to have his fanatics to assassinate or to banish the rest of us? But we are bothered less by the "water" in "Waterloo" than by the "gas" in Garvey and the gullibility of his poor dunes.

WHAT NAILS TELL
IF YOUR stenographer, who you know takes no part in the housework at home, comes to the office with a shading of gray under her finger nails that is one thing. And it is quite another thing if your neighbor, the mother and housewife in a servantless household, has finger nails that are far from spotless. Likewise you may draw one conclusion if the young bookkeeper has grimy finger nails and quite another conclusion if the young man who has elected to work in a machine shop appears with nails very much grimier. Actually to have stained or grimy finger nails certainly does not betoken bad manners or negligence.
The proportion of men and women who are engaged in work where immaculate fingers are a possibility is now very much larger than it ever was before. Once comparatively few persons, save those who enjoyed leisure and wealth, or those who were indolent parasites, might aspire to having finger nails that were not marked indelibly by the stains of toil. So it came to be looked upon as a mark of aristocratic station in life, to have immaculate fingers. Perhaps it is a survival of this state of affairs that makes many a young man and woman, in selecting a line of work, look with special favor on work that permits the maintenance of spotless finger nails. The young locomotive engineer may possess very much higher grade of intelligence, may be better bred and very much better paid than the young man who measures out cotton goods behind a counter, yet there always are some young women who will regard the acquaintance of the latter because his work leaves no telltale traces.
It would be quite unfair to say, therefore, that the perfectly-kept finger nails are a criterion of good breeding. However, the finger nails are often looked upon as an index to these things. The real point is that it is important to keep your nails and fingers generally as clean and stainless as your work will permit. Habits of care early acquired stick to one through life. Soap and water and a nail brush will do marvels after even the grimest sort of work. And remember, if you are not engaged in work that stains, then there is positively no excuse for you.

THE FRIENDLY PATH
By WALTER I. ROBINSON
TURN the world's thoughts to peaceful pursuits and there is little danger of war.
With the wider recognition of the importance of anti-war intelligence, the happiness of the world is measurably increased, for warfare or dangers of warfare and happiness cannot exist at the same time.
There are some who loudly wall because of the invention of a new super-gun which, if news reports are correct, would make the great German gun of St. Gobain appear like a top. It is held in some quarters that the invention or perfection of the invention of this mammoth weapon indicates too much thought of warfare and does not augur well for continued peace. But, on the other hand, quite a number of clear-thinking individuals contend that this new gun is a good thing, because it is likely to prevent future wars.
However, the most encouraging news in connection with the new invention is that telling that the gun is to be employed as an industrial instrument. Finding that the weapon will punch holes through the thickest armorplate with the greatest ease and neatness, it is proposed to have it widely employed in doing important work for mankind. If this plan is carried out, it would be impossible to estimate the value of the invention British and American inventors have given to the world.
But be this as it may, is it not a cause for rejoicing to know that the St. Gobain weapon—once hailed as an impossibility by the world's leading scientists—has been outdone? You remember that on Good Friday the St. Gobain gun began its deadly work by killing and maiming women and children who were worshiping in a Paris church, the big projectiles being hurled through the skies a distance of 75 miles. This was horrible. But the possibilities in war use of the new invention are many more times as horrible. The gun would throw a projectile weighing five tons nearly 300 miles, and in so doing would make neither smoke nor noise.
Who is there who would be willing to say that the perfection of weapons of such terrible destructive powers is not a sign for peace? Plans to employ it in industry is even a surer sign in the same direction.
This "greatest gun" should be hailed with joy.
NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN
"USED" THOUGHTS
EMERSON, wisest of all American essayists, says somewhere that every man must sooner or later make up his mind that he and no one else must determine his future.
We can learn from others knowledge, methods, even wisdom.
Other men can teach us how to think, as they can teach us how to swim or play golf.
But they cannot swim for us, they cannot play golf for us, and they cannot think for us.
We all employ a great deal of thought that is not our own. That must be, for we should be foolish not to profit by the accumulated wisdom of those who have gone before.
But these "used" thoughts, while we must at times employ them, serve not at all to develop our minds.
And while we might get along fairly well through life without original thought, we should die little wiser than when we began, and contribute nothing whatever to the progress of the world.
All that is of value in education is learning how to think.
From biography we derive a great deal, but most of it consists in knowing how other men thought, and how their thought made their careers.
If we carry all our problems to others to solve for us, we shall some day be confronted with a great problem and lack the understanding of how to grapple with it.
And in that time there will be no one to help us, and we shall meet with a failure that may change for the worse the course of our lives.
Most of us will do anything rather than think, for thinking is labor of the hardest kind.
But it is the sort of labor that means development, that enables us to use our minds for our own advancement, that makes us resourceful and independent and not afraid of tackling whatever comes along.
There are small differences between the outsides of our heads. There are tremendous differences between the insides of them. And those of us who have learned to think have developed machines which steadily and industriously through the years will work for our prosperity and our happiness. But those whose thoughts are second hand wonder why they never arrive.
(Copyright by John Blake.)
THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"WELSH RABBIT"
THE name of the dish composed of melted cheese with the addition of sundry sauces and piquant flavorings is usually spelled "rarebit"—an error due to the fact that persons who could see no resemblance between their favorite midnight repast and a hare which came from Wales concluded that it must be a "rare bit." Even Worcester and Webster were formerly guilty of this mistake, until an examination of Continental colloquialisms showed them where they erred.
Welsh "rabbit" is a dyed-in-the-wool slang term, belonging to the same class as a considerable number of other, but less well-known names applied to the favorite dishes of various communities. In England, for example, they refer to a sheep's head stewed with onions as a "German duck," while a bag-pudding is a "Leiscestershire plover" and "Norfolk capon" is eatinghouse slang for a herring. Following the same school of rough wit, the French call a herring a "poulet de careme" or "Lenten chicken" and the Italians reverse this process, referring to a chicken as a "fish out of the coop." Nor is the custom by any means confined to European countries. The New England habit of speaking of codfish as "Cape Cod turkeys" and the current slang of "Irish confetti" for bricks are two other examples from the same school.
So Welsh "rabbit" it should remain—on account of the fondness of the Welsh for toasted cheese and not because it is a rare bit, or delicacy.

A RAINBOW SCARF
By HILDA L. HARRIS
©. 1922, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.
Sonner Brett scowled as he swung open the heavy hotel vestibule doors and stepped into the crowded street. Evidently the charm of the sunny afternoon, which seemed to brighten the faces of the passing throngs, had no effect upon him, for the scowl grew deeper as he meditated. To Brett, the thought that he had three whole hours in a strange city, with only the prospect of a rather dull dinner with Ambrose Potter, when he could be enjoyably spending the time elsewhere—the Lindale Country club golf links, for instance—was annoying, and his scowl deepened into a heavy frown.
But, suddenly, all signs of annoyance disappeared and the man's face brightened with interest. Involuntarily he threw back his shoulders and buttoned his topcoat.
A golden-haired, blue-eyed bit of feminine daintiness was the cause of his sudden change of mood. The colors in her silken scarf fairly fascinated him. In a flash, he called it a "rainbow" scarf.
The girl stopped at shop windows; the man paused by near-by shop windows. His courage failed him, however, when his vision of loveliness disappeared into a quaint little bookshop, but he lost no time in deciding that the bookstore probably had just the volume of Kipling that he had wanted for some time.
The girl, who had evidently selected a book, who had evidently something about having lost her money, as she fumbled in her little purse, while the sales clerk, with suspicious eyes, waited impatiently. Then the girl glanced at him, a distressed look in her deep blue eyes, and before he realized it, he had paid for the book and was standing out in the street again. And his "rainbow" scarf girl was actually speaking to him, thanking him for his kindness!
"I can't imagine how I lost the money," she said in a perplexed tone. "I wonder—I wonder if you would mind very much walking down a few blocks to the Betty Brown tea-room? I am going to meet a friend there, who will return the money to you."
Then she smiled. In a flash the man understood why men wrote songs about smiles that made one happy. The walk to the tea-room was ridiculously short, but luck again favored Brett, for the girl, with a tiny pout of disappointed surprise, found that her friend had not arrived. But the pout changed into a dimpling smile when a "Waffles and Syrup" sign tempted Brett to suggest a cup of tea, and the adventure progressed famously.
It was not until he met Ambrose, waiting as stiffly and sedately as only Ambrose A. Potter could wait, that Brett came back to earth, and then he tried to visualize the look of polite incredulity that would appear on his friend's face, if he were to hear of the afternoon's adventure. Brett smothered a chuckle as he discovered that he had not heard one word of Potter's conversation.
"I sorry you're here for so short a time, Sommer," Ambrose was saying, unfolding his napkin with a precise gesture. "I wanted you to meet Mary."
Oh, yes, Brett remembered. Ambrose, old chap, had got himself a fiancée with the growing prosperity of his hay and grain business. He wondered if waffles were included on the menu.
"Do you serve waffles?" he inquired of the waiter, who promised vaguely to "see."
"You were surprised to hear of my engagement?" Potter asked, as he fumbled in his coat pocket. He produced a photograph and, with a flourish which surprised Brett, exclaimed: "Meet the future Mrs. Ambrose Augustus Potter."
Brett glanced rather carelessly at the picture, and then stared and stared!
"Is that one of the scarfs from—India—she's—wearing?" he finally blurted, mopping the perspiration from his forehead.
"Yes," complacently answered Ambrose, "she has an aunt in Indias—"
Bret. sank back weakly in his chair, but managed to summon enough strength to stop the passing walter.
"Never mind the waffles!" There was a savage tone in his voice.
"Of course, this little picture doesn't do Mary Anne"—Brett winced—"justice," said Ambrose, as he carefully put the picture back into his pocket. "She has nice eyes, and rather pretty, light hair. Speaking of waffles made me think of Mary Anne. I promised to meet her at a little tea-room on avenue this afternoon, but I was tied up all day at a meeting. Mary is a dear girl," Ambrose went on, "but she's a bit childish and chatters—" Sommer Brett smiled grimly as he listened.
A. Narrow Escape.
Fisher was proudly exhibiting to his young wife his day's catch.
"Aren't they beauties!" she enthused. "But, dear, I've been so anxious for the past hour." "Foolish child!" he said, caressingly, "why, what could have happened to me?" "Oh, I didn't worry about you, dear," she replied, "but it grew so late I was afraid before you got back to town all the fish markets would be closed."

This is what you have been doing for years—wasting your time and energy in sending out separate notices of meetings regarding your lodge to each member. This means that you have to address from 50 to 100 postal cards or envelopes in addition to preparing the notices for mailing out. Why not put your notice in an advertisement under "Lodge Notices" in this paper? You could do it for $1.25 and save all that labor. It's the modern way. It's the way most lodges are doing in the up-to-date communities.
What would be more interesting in this paper than a column or two of such notices? Your members would look for this feature in every issue. And then, think of the labor it would save you. Just write out one notice and bring it to us. That's all. Simple, isn't it? You bet. Try it and you won't do it any other way. We are here to serve you and ready to make suggestions.
