COMMANDING A'fl'KNTION.
! New York City, Sept. 6.?The activities
of the Universal Negro Improvement
Association headed by Marcua
Garvey are attracting considerable at
tentlon throughout the country. IIIn
ideas and methods are bolng attracted
by a number of leading Negro publio
isis, wiiiie a largo number of Negte |
writers are criticising, praising awl
others comparing and discussing tlu
: possibilities and feasibility Mr.
Garvey's plans. In this connection
j "The Outlook," one of America's foroi
most white weekly magazines, oditcd,
. by Abbott family, had the following |
| editorial comment in Issue of August
; 30th:
"GARVEYISM"
"In the present circumstances of

"Uptown, at Liberty Hall in Harlem
New York City Garvey dons robes of
grcon, crimson and black to prejiido
over hi#; third 'woi'ld congress or Negroes,
granted titles of nobiHty, and
divides up Africa into 'dukedoms.'
Downtown, meanwhile, officials of tho
United States Department of Jnstico
nre preparing for his trial, early thin
fall, on charges grow'ing out of misfor
tunes that 'have overtaken his steamship
corporation, the lllack Star Line, I
whereby the ?G00,000 invested by lwird
working Negroes vanished into thin
air.
In his schemes his "Blues Star Dine
was 'vital.' (For years jiow, ho has
told followers that on.ly by supporting
tho merchant .marine.and .linkinb

! "Dr. W.. K. 13. HuBois has gone on j
record as declaring his boliel in the'
man's honesty, though he long <ip,o ,
foretold the consequences of slipshod
business methods. Judge Panken, lee-1
tuning Gar.voy in the District {.Court
said: 'It seems to me that you Uav\ t
boon preying upon the gullibility of I
your own people, having kept no prop j
ur accounts of the money received m '
investment.' but added, 'There is a j
lqrm .or parauoia which manifesto it 1
self in believing ono'p self a great'
man.' The friends of NegTo Freedom,?
however, nre less chftritfrbje. Their!

"Aecordling to Garvey's figures, Gar ,
veyvoyixm the world over has 4,500 ad |'
he.nejits. According U> the National As ,
fiociic?.ion for the Advancement] of Col*11
oreel People, the Belgian Consul has 1
been inquiring about Garvey apropos '
ui unrtvt in certain Belgian coQoinef}. i
Thi's has led the Association to call up
the French Consulate, who, according 1
to report, attributed unrust 'in cerljnin 1
French colonies to the same cause.'.
According to Garvey's own publ,Itfhod 1
statement, his newspaper has been ex
eluded from certain British colonies. L
\ page of that paper Is printed m 1
Spanish. To reach Spanish spealOng
\mori.cn? Perhaps only eo reach the
now fairly numerous Spanish speak
ng Negroes in Harlem where a (
jranch of the New York Public Li? ?
jrary maintains a Spanish depart- ^
uont. (In all that relates to G'arvey
uul Garvcyism que expects exaggora
iion. Not long ago an antHGarveyilo'
statistician reviewed^ the Provisional ) 1
President's figures in the light; of his I?
'inances and concluded that, at most, 1
tis followers numbered 90,000." ?
The writer finds in Garvey's appeal ^
'Pride in Race" and one thai is ad*
Ircseed to the "instinct of self-reli* L
nice." Continuing under the capt-on1 (
?f 'Pride in Race" be says: "It wouldic
a mistake to conclude that Garvey* j?.
sin is me product purely ol' the hravajV^
10 which expresses itsejf in Garvey'a j ^
iniforms and in the gorgeous feather-) |p
hat adorn Ms hat as lie rides in v
tfory or of the equally gorgeous pre-: j.j
entiousnoss of his programme. What;*
ver success Garveyism has had has
een made possiblo because thero is
11 it an appeal t*> a sound and who^o n(
omo quality, thougli the appeal ?? i (](
er verted and the quality exaggerat-'in
(I. Garvey'a whole appeal Is address ti
(1 to the instinct of self-reliance. With w
11 its homhast and absurdity and j M
md quixotism^, it', is an appeal to raooljc
rjjde. Tho injury tfti-at It has done to' u
10 moro credulous among Negroes. th
nd the mental torment that is has j in
iflicted upon t'ho saner element y1
mong tho Negroes cannot be aeerib Bi
1 to the fact, that it. has been an &i?' Sc
eal to race pride, but that it has been i CI
THE RI0H1
an appoal to false pride of race."
Tho writer praiBOs tho sound doctrine
of the lato Booker T. Washington,
for he says: "Hooker Washing
ton also appealed to race pride, but i.
was tho prldo that set men, not to (
chasing rainbows, but to self-respect
lng wdrk and to service of tho commonwealth
.
"1)0, is perhaps significant that Garvey,
wlio proclaims himself the Pro
visional 1'rCBldont of tho Republic of
Africa, is not an American but a Wes*
IniMan and that the notion of 'Africa
for tho Africans' was not oven originally
Uiy own, but was borrowed m
London from Dusl Molmmmed Ali,
half Negro and half Egyptian. This
sort of tiling is not likely to have any
permanent influence on Americans,
white or black.
While Gnrveyism is running its spec '
taculur and tragic course, the steady j
progress of the Negro in America '*
following the lines marked out b>
I Hooker T. Washington, one of tho.
! greatest Americans of his timet whoso!
pride in his race existed sUlo by sido
i with a fluniDirty tlmt was one or tbo

man William Muldoon to permit a

some months ago refused a sanction
for such a bout, but since the G? vor*j
i iior of Indiana prohibited the pair
| mooting at Michigan City efforts have
' been inudc to stage the mutch in thij?
vicinity. Tex Richard is willing to un
[ dertake the promotion of the bout and
tho proposition has been submitted to
J Mr. Muldoon. When asked ycs'.crday j
! if ho would give his ensent t>o the bout i
Mr. Muldoon said:
| "On condition that Brennau first, of
all boxes the next best of the whito
heavies. I will not select the man but
will be saUsfiod with any man chosen
by tho newspapers. My opinion is'
thai) Billy Miske, who is 40 per cent!
better than ever before in his career, I
would be a good opponent for Bren-.
nan the winner to meet Doinpsey. How '
over if any one can name a suitablo
opponout for Brennan I will be pleas-;
ed to bhear it. So far as a Brennan-,
Dempsey match is concerned I will
not sanction it, but if Brennan win
defeat Mislte or some heavy-weight
who is considered a Rood match for
the Chicagoan then I will sanction ft
match between Brennan and the
champion.
Chairman Muldoon was not eni-iuai
nstic over the performance of Tut
Jackson, but admitted that New York.
had been hoodwinked by the handler*
ot the man. Mr. Muldoon was present'
at the weighing of Jackson, and when [
the scales registered 188 pounds the J
chairman said: "Where is the < th^r |

weighed 200 pounds. You told poop.,, j
you wore G feet 1 inch tall and iho
measure shows you arc but 5 feet 10

Muldoon said afterward tlifcit Tut.
