VOL.1, No.4 U.N.I.A. SAID TO HAVE WIPED OUT DEDTS OF GARVEY Claimed $60,000, Total Indebtedness of Association, Has Been Paid Up. 'Uplift' Not Promised $1,500,000 Building to Be Frect ed in New York; Garvey Will Be Deported. New York City, Nov. 27.—According to an announcement of the law firm of Jacobson and Jacobs, counsel for the Universal Negro Improvement Association, Incorporated, all of the liabilities of the association have been wiped out by paying forty-eight of its members about $60,000 for which judgments had been obtained. This was learned last Thursday. These liabilities, it is said, had been incurred by Marcus Garvey, the founder and leader, who is now serving a term in the Atlanta penitentiary for mail fraud. Garvey Promises Salaries. Garvey Promises Salaries. Much of Garvey's popularity, it was said, was due to his williness and generosity in giving jobs to all who he thought could be of service to him in spreading propaganda for the upbuilding of his movement, and charging their salaries to the association. It is said that these salaries ranged all the way from $1,500 to $10,000. When the association failed to redeem the promises of payment made by Mr. Garvey, suits were brought and judgments were obtained. According to the lawyers the U. N. I. A. is educational and is again flourishing. They pointed out that the association owns a site in West 138th street on which is a modest building known as Liberty Hall. Mr. Jacobson said that the association was about to erect a $1,500,000 building on the site and that there would be no difficulty in obtaining enough money for the enterprise. Garvey to Be Deported. It is understood that Garvey is definitely out of the old business of "uplifting" members of his race in this country because the U. S. Government intends to deport him as soon as his prison term is ended. NEW CAFE OPENS DOORS TO PUBLIC Bridgeforth Announces Beginning of One More Negro Enterprise in City. With the opening of the Unity Cafe, 438 Rondo St., one more chord is struck in the march of the business life of St. Paul. The cafe entered active business this week, and is advertised as being strictly modern, sanitary, and of service fit for the best. Its location is in a place close by the main Negro settlement of the community. Mr. David Bridgeforth is the proprietor of the restaurant. He has lived in the city for a long while, and was connected with the late Walter Chesnut in the management of the Unity Dancing School. The plan of the cafe calls for special attention to motor parties. Home cooked Sunday dinners will be made a specialty. The management also announces that after theatre parties will be catered to, and that chicken sandwiches will be served at all times. LOCAL DANCERS FEATURE CURRENT CAPITOL BILL At the Capitol theatre this week, the management is featuring on the stage The Dixie Land Revue with The Kentucky Colonels, comprised of a group of local talent. Charleston dancers include Clara Smith, Cecil Lewis, Leona Taylor, Estella Palmer, Sylvania Roberts, Raymond Whiting, Reginald Wallis, William Browning, and William Benjamin. The dancers appear in plantation costume, and it is said that they are gathering a great deal of applause.

NEGRO SOLDIERS PRAISED BY FISH NEGRO SOLDIERS PRAISED BY FISH Congressman, Leader of 369th, Takes Issue With Bullard in Defense of Veterans. (Preston News Service) Washington, D. C., Nov. 27.—"The colored soldier, properly trained and given an equal opportunity, is just as brave and will go just as far as any other soldier." This tribute to the part colored troops in the World War was voiced by Congressman Hamilton Fish, Jr., of New York City, last Wednesday night at a meeting of the National Memorial Association held in John Wesley Church to arouse sentiment favorable to passage by Congress of a bill for the erection of a memorial building in this city in honor of colored service men. Col. Fish said he spoke from experience, as he was leader of the famous 369th Infantry, first colored troops overseas. He outlined the history of a bill introduced in Congress by himself to erect a monument in France to soldiers of the four colored regiments. General Frank T. Hines, director of the Veterans' Bureau, and Col. Hanford E. MacNider, Assistant Secretary of War, also addressed the gathering and lauded the part the Negro played in the war. "I take exception," Col. Fish declared, "to remarks made by Gen. Bullard last summer condemning-colored soldiers, because I know the remarks to be false, and because they apply mostly to men untrained and improperly led. If the United States is to erect 30 divisional monuments to white troops, many of which did not have half the casualties of the four colored American regiments that served with the French, I consider it unwarranted discrimination against those regiments not to erect a similar monument in their honor." Grand Chapter to Meet. The Minnesota Grand Chapter, O. O. E. S., will hold a meeting Sunday, Nov. 29 at Union hall at 1:30 p. m. Worthy Grand Matron Orlivia McKenzie, will preside. All members of the Order of the Eastern Star are requested to be present. Mme, Belle Salter Tyler ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1925 People Who Have Spread Negro Spirituals Picture of Case, Bad Enough on Surface, Painted Worse By Press Reports Blaming Wife and Guying Kip. (Preston News Service) Pittsburgh, Pa., Nov. 27—Seeking annulment of his marriage Leonard Kip Rhinelander, has caused much ink to be spilled, both pro and con, as well as furnished entertainment, amusement and occupation for the idle rich, scandal lovers, social workers, writers, thinkers, empty-heads,—all. Commenting on the case Frack C. Harper in the Pittsburgh Press says: "It is unlucky for the Rhinelander family of New York, which boasts of its blue blood, that it could not find some other way than a suit at law to release one of its scions from a marriage distasteful to it. Family Pride Hurt. "Young Leonard Kip Rhinelander's portrait, as painted by his own lawyer, is anything but flattering to the family pride. A mentally backward and physically defective youth whom his handsome Negress wife seduced and got into her power—that is the picture. "He was so infatuated with her,' says his father's lawyer, 'that he was her slave, body and soul.' "How that confession must tickle the shade of Booker T. Washington, who insisted that the black was the stronger race of the two! "On the other hand, just what position does it put fond parents of highly-placed young ladies in when they are planning a marriage between a favorite daughter and a young man concerning whom they know little except that he belongs to one of 'our oldest families?'" "How little that distinction proves or is worth as a guarantee of physical soundness or moral or intellectual character! "'Great names,' said Rochefoucauld, 'degrade instead of elevating those who do not know how to sustain them.'" "That is equivalent to saying that great families should constantly keep their weaklings and incapables under the closest surveillance." NORTH CAROLINA SCHOOLS LAUDED Director of Rosenwald Fund Comments Favorably on Negro Schools of State. (Preston News Service) Raleigh, N. C., Nov. 27.—North Carolina has built one to every other five Negro school houses erected in all the southern states, according to Dr. Francis W. Shepardson, secretary and director of the Julius Rosenwald Fund, of Chicago, who was in Raleigh last week to attend the Annual State Negro Educational Conference here.

Death Toll Cut In Half Campaign Will Run Until Dec. 24; Endorsed By Governor, Mayor, Officials. Make 1926 a banner health year by making this year's sale of Christmas Seals the biggest in the history of the Ramsey County Health Association! This is the slogan among the working personnel of the anti-tuberculosis campaign—a slogan that is being passed among all the groups that are assisting this year in the seal sale. Dates Set. Officially opening Thanksgiving Day, November 26, with the whole-hearted endorsement of the governor and mayor, the campaign will continue through December 24 with "Buy Health and Happiness with Christmas Seals," as a slogan. Only five per cent of the proceeds goes to the National Association which has under its general supervision an anti-tuberculosis association in each of the forty-eight states and over 1,500 affiliated associations and societies financed almost entirely through the sale of seals. Ninety-five percent is used entirely within the state. Statistics show that as a result of National campaigns the death toll of tuberculosis has been decreased 50 per cent in the United States since 1900 and that since 1910 the figure has been cut in half. They also show that the toll is greatest during the most productive period of life—that between the ages of fifteen and nineteen the death rate is three times greater than from any other cause; between 20 and 29 it is ten times greater. Program Outlined. A general program of education in the importance of health is carried out with the proceeds. The present work includes provision of a follow-up worker, free pasteurized milk for underweight children in public schools, a school nurse for the rural districts, height and weight charts, health posters, talks and films for the general public, medical examination of children in parochial and other private schools and many other aids. Money raised in the seal campaign is used where the greatest benefit will accrue without regard to race or color. Colored children in schools, and tubercular people of the state will receive as much good from the result of the sale as any other citizens. N. A. A. C. P.

Race Pride Vital Need Rise of Dark People to Position of World Prominence Pointed Out. A crowd of more than five-hundred people overflowed the auditorium of Camphor Episcopal church Tuesday evening to hear Rev. Charles A. Tindley of Philadelphia. L. W. Harris, pastor of Pilgrim Baptist church was the presiding officer of the evening. Before the arrival of Rev. Tindley, he gave a short talk on the general subject of race pride, urging strongly that the children of the present generation be educated with the special view of having developed in them the deep sympathy for and understanding of the race problems. A song service was held under the direction of O. C. Hall. Tindley Talks on "Cruclifixion." the subject of the sermon-talk which Rev. Tindley gave was "Crucifixion." In it he stressed the points that it was necessary for individuals to be proud of their racial identity if the race would ever gain anything from their membership. He voiced the opinion of many historians that the darker races are even now on their way to a high pinnacle of success in the story of the world's civilization, and that their advance will spell a consequent decline of the white race. Points Methods of Growth. Graphically he pointed out that there are three ways to get up the ladder of achievement; go up, grow up, and blow up. To his audience he developed at some length the inadvisability of the third of the methods. Carrying the picture further, he pointed out that to get results, a match has to be scratched on a rough surface. Likening the Negro to the match, he showed that the rough treatment which was being accorded colored folk was perhaps for their good, because it would bring out greater results in the end. Speaker at Conference. Rev. Tindley left immediately after the service for his train. He was in the city as a delegate to a Methodist Episcopal conference which was held the first part of the week at which he was one of the principal speakers. Dr. Tindley comes from Philadelphia where he is the pastor of a church which is called the largest Methodist church in the world. Under him he has a staff of seven assistant pastors. When he first went to the church some 24 years ago, as its janitor, the membership numbered about 150. At the present time, the roll includes more than 9,000 people. RAILROAD MAN OPENS NEW STORE E.

Reverend Charles A. Tindley, Negro pastor of the largest Methodist church in the world, one of the greatest natural orators of the time, and one of the principal speakers at the Methodist Episcopal conference held in.St. Paul this week, was refused hotel accommodations at the St. Paul hotel. Hardly had the first announcement of the coming of Reverend Tindley been made in the daily papers when those same papers carried stories of his humiliation at the hands of local hotel au- thorities. We read that story with varying feelings, we colored people of the city. All of us thought it was a “shame.” Some of us after remarking to our neighbors on the matter and mutually consoling ourselves that the thing was inevitable and unchangeable, con- tinued on our way as we have done so often in similar situations in the past, easily forgetting the incident. And some of us, knowing that the condition can be changed, knowing that it is gradually gnawing away our self respect and our race pride, knowing that it has been allowed to exist for years past, seemingly without opposition, and knowing, too, that there is a law which can be enforced in the case, have resolved to take a justified stand in making a fighting issue of the matter. For too long, Negroes of St. Paul have assumed a passive atti- tude toward things of this kind. It is “known” that there are cer- tain places where “we” had better not attempt to eat; there are theaters where it is “believed” that we are seated as nearly as possible in a compact group; there are shops which it is a much better policy “really” not to patronize; and it is “absolutely un- wise to the point of rashness” to try to lodge at any but the col- ored hotels, in private homes, or in family boarding houses. In Minneapolis, on the contrary, the general attitude is the reverse of ours. Within the past few weeks, colored visitors re- served not rooms, but a whole suite in one of Minneapolis’ finest, most modern hotels. While there is a bare possibility that the difference of ten miles in the location of the two cities may be responsible for a better race feeling, it is far more possible that the well known aggressiveness of certain Minneapolis race leaders is a more potent factor in the achieving of good conditions. The longer we permit shaming expressions of race prejudice, the more strongly entrenched in the minds of our white fellows will become the idea that we must submit to imposition, and the more of it we will have to face. Contrariwise, the more we dis- play a united front against all sorts of hurtful practices, the more we show an intense and active dislike for any encroachments upon our liberties, the more things will be opened to us, and the better the community feeling will be. For us, the situation has resolved itself into this: Hither we will continue to allow ourselves to be humiliated by illegal dis- criminatory practices, as we have long done in the past, or we will rise out of our present static satisfied condition and begin a grim fight for the rights which are justly ours. Whether we do or do not obtain them is squarely up to us. NEGRO SPIRITUALS , one of the editors of The A arpness of opinion, and one meriea, gave an article recen wusic of the American Negro he traced the growth of the African chants, to the time e camp meeting period in thi e tunes which were evolved ' Hz L. Mencken, one of the editors of The American Mereury, a man noted for sharpness of opinion, and one outstanding in the literary field of America, gave an article recently to a newspaper syndicate on the music of the American Negro. In the article he traced the growth of the spiritual from its probable origin in African chants, to the time of its growth and development in. the camp meeting period in this country. It was pointed out that the tunes which were evolved were of a type that have since become almost a pattern for white composers. Due credit was given to James Weldon and J. Rosamond Johnson, whose book, “The Book of American Negro Spirituals,” was claimed to be a valuable addition to a field which white compilers had tried more or less unsuccessfully. The essay concludes, “The black unknown who wrote ‘Swing Low, Sweet Chariot’; ‘Deep River,’ and ‘Roll, Jordan, Roll’—for I suspect that one bard wrote all three—left a heritage to his coun- try that few white men have ever surpassed. He was one of the greatest poets we have ever produced, and he came so near to being our greatest musician that I hesitate to look for a match for him.” Criticism of that sort from people of the caliber of Mr. Mencken is excellent propaganda. It is undoubtedly true, that because of it, some white music lovers who might otherwise never have heard it the book by the Johnson brothers, will get and discover its worth. Here’s to a wider circulation of that kind of comment, Br-rr-r! We are slowly warming to our ever difficult task. We are discovering that the life of the editor is neither a life of ease nor. of privacy. Three letters that came in our personal mail in the past week were of the nature that is: usually. termed: slanderous. They are some of the sour fruits that must be eaten: by every pub- lie officer. We rather enjoyed them, though. A. conviction that isn’t backed by courage isn’t worth a hoot, and: judging by the sul- phurous strength of some of the opinions expressed, the- writers had plenty of courage! 3 IN THE REALM OF CLUBDOM Mrs, Daisy Chapman, 586-W.

Fish and his crew of the American freighter American Trader, who brought the Elven's men into port.

ABBREVIATED STORY THE CAMEL'S BACK THE scene of today's story, just for a change, is the wild Harhar jungles of Abyssinia. The natives were in a state of the wildest disorder, for their troubles were proving too much for them, and a revolution was brewing. Yet the Harhar savages were a cautious bunch, and Blubjaw, their champion orator and worker-up, harangued them in vain to take the decisive step. Squx erax Dimbo splaw! he cried. ("King Dimbo is a tyrant and should be dethroned. He allows us only six wives apiece and imposes rulnous taxes for every additional wife!") "Skrix shrox" ("No use acting hastily"), muttered the populace. "Kincan yaybo wimbo yan!" ("He allows the common people one meal a day while he eats seven!") cried Blubjaw. "Dithy rambus!" ("Don't let's be rash"), murmured the mob. "Slux nindo yither wow!" ("He has forbidden us to smoke!") "Osh kosh!" ("We'd better not do anything reckless.") "Tooral Chaplox ninski Fairbairn! Ylnx!" ("He's ordered all the 'movies' to shut down and now we can never see Charlie Chaplin or Doug Fairbanks any more!") There was a mighty guttural roar as the long-suffering public rose to arms and rushed toward King Dimbo's bungalow. @ by George Matthew Adams.)

And men will win To an empty inn Where never a light will greet the comer. But the cloud will pass And we'll find the grass. And the spring will come with the buds returning, And we'll trudge along When the inn goes wrong Till we come to a house where the lights are burning. The wind will blow From the north, you know, And the snow will drift, and the ice will gather, But the wind will swing To the south and bring Us clearer heavens and better weather Why, all we need Is to wait, indeed. And to smile a little, and pray a plenty. The days we scold Are what makes us old, And the days we hope are what keep us twenty! (© by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) EVE IT IS fitting that Eve, the oldest name in the English language, should mean "life." "The mother of all living" was originally called by the title Chavva, which the Alexandrian Jews, coming upon in their translation, rendered as Zoe. Later it was Latinized as Heva and finally becomes Eve on English lips. Curiously enough, Eve has never been a popular name in England. On old parish registers it appeared in isolated instances when a pair of twins was christened Adam and Eve. But the Latin form, which became Eva in Ireland and Scotland, also flourished in England and became popular in Germany. In this country, Eve has had greater prevalence than Eva. The former is a far more euphonious name, as well as the finest of the old Biblical appellatives—a fact which appealed strongly to the Puritans. We have also revived the title of the Alexandrian Jews and Zoe is frequent in modern times. Jade is Eve's talismanic stone. It is the Chinese gem of life and is believed to bestow upon its wearer the blessing of the gods, which is health, wealth and happiness. Sunday is Eve's lucky day and a 4 her lucky number.

F. of M. Local 73 YOUR Last Name IS IT BRIGGS? BRIGGS is a more usual name than Bridge or Bridges, yet they both have the same meaning, and Briggs is the dialect variation of Bridge. Rigg is in the same way a form of Ridge, yet Rigg or Riggs is rather more usual than Ridge or Ridge. In England the name is renowned as having belonged to Henry Briggs, a contemporary of Shakespeare and of the greatest mathematicians of his day. There have been several distinguished members of the Briggs family here. One was George N. Briggs, one fine governor of Massachusetts and congressman. And another was Charles Augustus Briggs, an American theologian. MEYER—This is a name of German origin though it is borne by natives of almost every country of Europe, and there are Meyers in this country among hundred per cent Americans. It is one of the most usual names in Germany, where they speak of Muller, Meyer and Schulze as we speak of Smith, Brown and Jones. Meyer is derived from the Latin major, meaning greater, and is said to have meant originally merely overseer. Later it acquired something of the significance of farmer. FERRIS—This is said to have been derived from a French nickname from Frederick. MASON—Sometimes this is an occupative name but probably offender it is derived from Matthew, having the significance of son of Matthew. CATT—This is undoubtedly derived from the first name Catherine. It may have been that the first of the name took his name from his mother—and illegitimacy was surely not always the reason for this. Again it is highly probable that such first names were taken in honor of some saint or church festival. Thus a man born on St. Catherine's day might have been given this name to distinguish him from his associates. (® by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)
