Dubois, in Magazine Article,

Is Repudiated.
MILLION DOLLARS LOST,
Holds Rejection of Movement Is
Tribute to Common Sense
of COlOred Man.

New York, Jan. 26.-The bubble
of Garveyism is burst in the United
States, according to DIR. W. E. B. Du
Bots, editor Of "The Crisis" who
writes in the February Century Ma
gazine on the "Back to Africa" move
ment of Marcus Garvey. Colored
Americans have not joined the Gar
vey movement in large numbers, as
serts DR.. Dubois, and the Garvey
movement represents a West Indian
rather than colored American at
tempt to deal with the race problem.
The Garvey ventures have cost his
followers, chiefly from the British
Island of Jamaica, close to $1,000, 900,
estimates DR.. Dubois, of which about
$500. 900 was lost in the failure of
the Black Star Line of steamships.
! OF the attitude of colored Ameri-
cans toward the Garvey movement,
as of the Booker T. Washington pro-
gram relinquishing political action,
DR.. Dubois writes:
ct is no ordinary tribute to col
ored American poise and common
sense and ability to choose and reject
leadership, that neither Of these pro-
grams have been able to hold them.

N. Y. GLOBE WANTS
DYER BILL REVIVED

New York, Jan. 26.-New York's,
prominent daily, The Globe, demands
revival and enactment of the Dyer
anti-lynching bill by the Senate, in
an editorial of January II. The edi-
torial is as follows: :
The mob of Arkansas farmers who
hanged a railroad striker may be
morally different from the union SYM
pathizers at Herrin, Ill, who brutally
murdered mine guards and officials,
but so far as the maintenance of the
law is concerned the result of their
action is the same. r. =. The habit
of lynching Negroes, which is popular
in Illinois and in Arkansas, breeds a
contempt for the law which does not
draw the color line. AS to
the origin of the Arkansas outrages,
it, is desirable to suspend judgment
pending further information, but con-
corning the remedy there is no doubt.
The enactment of federal anti
lynching law, which the assurance
that the gentry who are addicted to
this civilizing pastime will have the
opportunity to explain their views on
mob murder and torture to an impair
tial jury, will have cooling effect
upon emotions which now are uncon-
trolled. Congress ought in the name
of decency to revive the pending bill
and force it through to passage. 81

BOARD TO
ACT ON COLOR BAR

Boston, Jan. % CRUSADER Service).
Lowell of Harvard has
been asked by member Of the Board
OF overseers of the university to call
a special meeting of the board to dis
cuss the presidents action in ruling
that colored students may not be ad-
mitted to the freshman dormitory.
1t could not be learned that Presi-
dent Lowell had taken any step to
call such a meeting. Should he not
do so, it is understood the matter will
be taken up by the board at it's next
stated meeting, late in February.
Special meetings are rarely called,
1t is said, and only on matters of ex-
IRENE Importance. That request
has been made of the president for
such q meeting, is believed to indi-
cate there is strong feeling. in the
board it should have been consulted
before action was taken on the case
of the son of Roscoe Conkling Bruce,
himself a. graduate of Harvard, and
the policy of the university on the
question of exclusion of colored men
from certain parts of university life
thereby apparently announced.
The first notice the Harvard Grim
son" has taken of agitation made by
the announcement that colored stu
dents were unwelconle in the Harvard
freshman dormitory came yesterday
when the college daily published Ros-
coe Conkling Bruce's letter and Pres
ident Lowelrs reply as printed in the
newspapers. Part of the editorial
follows: "In dormitories where resi-
dence is voluntary, any student is ad-
mitted, but in the case of the fresh
man dormitories, where all white
members of the class are obliged to
reside, the admission of colored men
would amount to not permitting, but
compelling the two races to live to-
gether. Such a compulsion, he be-
iieves. could only increase prejudice
that is most unfortunate

THE QUALITIES or SURVIVAL

DIR. A. E. jerks, head of the de-
partment of anthropology at the uni
versity, in his recent talk before the
Lions club, cited the fast depicting
ranks of the American Indian as proof
that the time Of primitive man is past.
"The Indian" said he, "is going, be-
cause he failed to keep pace with the
modern man, and has shown no inter
est in the progress Of civilization"
The difference in the survival quail
ties Of the Indian and the coIored man
is important for Americans to note.
Both, when they first came into. con-
tact with the white man, were in a
semi-civilized state, and the Indian ap-
peared to display the. superior quail
ties. = -
The Indians were a warlike and
courageous people, little given to hard
work, but with innate dignity and re-
serve that commanded respect. For
this very reason, perhaps, they did not
succeed in adapting themselves to
civilization.
Unlike the Indian, the colored man
endured slavery in order to survive.
But in STOPPING, he appraised himself.
BY bending, he mounted to better
things. Under the impact of civiliza-
ton he took on the habit of continu-
Gus hard work and survived and null
tiplied, while the Indians have dimin-
ished. The contrast is one of adapt
ability plus hard work, and it is not
without Importance to the white race.
Despite all legislative projections,
the white race can hardly hope to sur
vive without hard work, as against
the yellow or the brown man, who is
willing to work and adapt himself to
conditions. Twenty years ago Theo-
dore Roosevelt glimpsed the secret of
survival we'll in the following admo-
milton:
81 wish to preach, not the doctrine
of ignoble ease, but the doctrine of
the strenuous life, the life of toll and
effort, of labor and struggle. The
highest form of success comes not to
the man who desires easy peace, but
to the man who does not shrink from
hardships and from bitter toll and
who out of these things wins a splen-
did and ultimate success" .~"
This advice is worth bordering, in.
the light of the divergent fates Of
the red and black races. It is espe-
cially timely when temptations of
ease, prosperity and extravaganza
tend to entice the white race into
soft way of life, and to weaken in it
the stern qualities of survival.-Min-'

U, Nj. A. IN new
ORLEANS RAlDED
Eight Officers and Two Members
Arrested in Connection With
EasOn Murder.

New Orleans, Jan. 26 (Crusader
Service) Enlarged with completely in
the revolving murder of DR.. j. w. H.
Eason, Garvey opponent, and with
participation in plot against the
government, ten members of the Gar
vey organization here, eight officials
and two 'high members" were arrest
ed last night during a police raid on
local headquarters. They were
charged with melting to riot and with
completely in the assassination of DR..
Eason.
Colonel George Stanton, Chief of
the Department Of Justice in South
eastern Louisiana, said that all men,
bers of the u. N. I. A. in New Or
leans would be examined. He de-
clares he has enough evidence in hand
to lodge charges against the leaders
of the local branch.
Last nights raid has a direct con-
nection with the death of DR.. Eason,
who, it was said, at the federal build
ing, was to have been a federal wit
ness against Marcus Garvey of Ghost
Ship fame, and now under indictment
in New York, charged with using the
mails to defraud.
William Shakespeare, who has a
warrant showing he is "chief of po-
lice" of the association and F. w.
Dyer, "patrolman,' are under arrest
on the charge of killing DR.. Eason,
and police say they found documen-
tary evidence indicating the two men
were sent here for that purpose.
Those arrested are: Ike Whit
more, vice president and acting presi-
dent; Thomas Anderson of New York,
assistant general secretary of the
New York office; Lawrence J. Davis,
treasurer; William Philips, executive
secretary; James E. Hill, chaplain;
John Carey, Jr., chairman of trustees;
Henry Lee, trustee; Thomas Frank
lin, president of the choir; James
Hamilton and Hezeak Griffith. While
the two men charged with the shoot
ing are West Indians the rest of
those under arrest were born in this
country. ="
Four women members of the organ
ization were also taken to police
headquarters and questioned, but
were not placed under arrest.
The seized literature was said to
denounce the government and advo-
cate its overthrow.
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1923-01-27

One of the most singular proofs of
this is that the latest support of
Garveyism is from the notorious Ku
Klux Khan. When Garvey saw his
Black Star Line disappear, his West
Indian membership fall off, and his
American listeners grow increasingly
critical, he flew South to consult the
Grand Cyclops of the Invisible En-
pire. Whether the initiative came
from him or from the Khan is not
known, but probably the Khan invited
him. They were indeed birds of d
feather, believing in titles, fummery,
and mumbo- jumbo, Sand handling
much gullible money"
Declaring that the Garvey type of
agitation is the counterblast to the
white supremacy" propaganda enun-
ciated by Lothrop Stoddard, DR.. Du
Bots warns that in both lie the seeds
of hate and of war:
Here is Garvey yelling to life,
from the blach side, a race conscious
ness which leaps to meet Madison
Grant and Lothrop Stoddard and
ether worshipers of the great white
race. It is symptomatic and porten-
tous. IL with a greater and more
gifted and efficient Garvey it some
times blazes to real flame, it means
world war and eternal hate and
blood. It means the setting of the
world clock back a thousand years.
And yet the worlds Garveys are not
solely to blame, but rather every
of race superiority and hui
man inequality. On the other hand,
back of all this turks the quieter,
more successful, more insistent, and
hopeful fact. Races are living to-
gether. They are buying and selling,
marrying and rearing children,
laughing and crying. They are fight
ing mobs and lynchers and those that
enslave and despise, and they have
not yet failed in that fight. Their
faith in their ultimate and complete
triumph are these homes, this busi-
ness block, this church, duplicated a
hundred thousand times in a nation
If twelve million. Here, then, are
he two future paths, outlined with
i certain sullen dimness in the world
,lood-crimson twilight and yet to be |
deserted easily by those with the see
ng hearts. Which path will America
hoose ?p

It was natural to expect the col
ored press to protest vigorously
against President Lowell's action in
barring colored student from the
freshman halls at Harvard College,
but the opposition of the white press
and white writer's, while not wholly
unexpected, is most gratifying in it's
fervor. The Independent says that if
a faculty discriminates at all between
students it should do so on the basis
of scholarship alone and adds "Presi-
dent Lowell's letter, struck most
discordant note" The New Republic
strikes an ironic vein in it's comment:
"a black freshman -. is not
permitted to live in the freshman
halls. No common Harvard con-
seriousness for him. It is no part of
the business of Harvard to set it's
students good example of by CIV
ing Negroes the same kind of social
advantages which it gives to other
races. In this matter it has ceased
to be an educational institution"
The Nation says of the action: "Such
policies are pitifully second rate.
We cannot believe that Harvard grad
yates will be deaf to the appeal of
their greatest president. An unprej-
udiced man of letters reading the cor.
respondence between President Lowell
and Roscoe Bruce might well
conclude, judging by the literary
style and breadth of spirit, that the.
colored man would make the better
president" Comment expressed less
formally, but nevertheless with biting
is contained in 81. 4. Philips,

Heretofore Harvard has allowed stu
dents to room on the campus whether
they were dark or light, but she has
now drawn the color line. This places
her on par with Jack Dempsey
Only pink and white students are to-
,e allowed in the freshman dormitor-

REBUILDING OF
COLORED HOMES

MOVE FOR PARK HELD BLUFF
New Bern, N. C., Colored People
Face Loss of Homes and
Property.

New York, Jan. 26.-Colored resi-
dents of the city of New Bern, N. c.,
whose homes were burned in the re-
cent disastrous fire, are fighting an
attempt by white citizens to prevent
their rebuilding their homes through
condemnation proceedings which
would turn the colored section into a
cemetery and parry, according to an
nouncement today by the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People.
Reports from New Bern state that
the colored residents have not been
permitted to rebuild their homes. A
statment sent to the Advancement
Association by competent investiga-
tor asserts: ---.-.
Hits Property Owners.
"The city of New Bern is deter
mined the burnt area shall not be re-
built by or for colored people. 1t is
proposed to condemn the land, osten-
sibly for cemetery and park purposes
but this is openly winked at as a
subterfuge to get rid of the colored
property owner. In the meanwhile
no building is permitted in the burnd
district and no provision is being

made for a suitable location else
where. You can see the hardship
this works on the lot owners; in
many cases all they have is tied up
in this real estate, which will be a
long time in litigation in the eondem-
nation proceedings"
The report further states that the
colored districts that were not in the
fire area are neglected and have no
improvements whatever in the way of
paving, lighting, sewerage, water
supply and street car service. These
districts, it is asserted, into which
the colored sufferers from the fire are
to be forced to move, have surface
toilets and the pumps for drinking
water are in close proximity, the wa
ter coming within few feet Of the
surface. - -
Driving Out Laborers. -
The report censures the attitude of
the white citizens of New Bern in the
following terms: sa..
"The white people of New Bern
in this crisis do not seem to feel any
sense of duty in providing for the
housing of their colored citizens and
are blind to their economic value.
New Bern has no white labor and
herein is the only way out that lies
in the colored man himself: quietly
organize and leave New Bern. This
has been limited but the white people
do not take it seriously. The only
other way is for New Bern to be
brought to realization of the injury
it will do itself in the eyes of the
country If it carries on its present
policy" 80 8.
In the course of the fight by col
ored residents to retain their prop
erty and home sites, resolutions were
passed and published in local news
paper on the anniversary Of the
Emancipation Proclamation, protest
ing against the injustice being done
New Bern colored citizens, and stat
ing:
The proposed condemnation for
park and cemeteries win work q
grievous hardship and injustice upon
The colored people, making it irnpos-
sible for many of them ever to build
again in improved and sanitary To-
,alities accessible to the conveniences
enjoyed by the average white tax
payer.
