THOSE WHITE NEGROES.

But then my distinguished friend
has never had any Negroes hair upon
his head and he therefore knows alb
solutely nothing about the torture
endured in combing IL. This is the
reason that there are thousands of
nappy-headed boys and girls through
out the Southland identified with the
colored race, not including those Of
course who were fortunate enough
20 have mothers who won the smiles
OF the white men of the Southland
and as is usual in such cases the pc
curIarities OF the fathers were trans
mitted 10 the children, even TO the
third and fourth generation.
/ then lay down the basic principle
of journalism from a financial stand
point and that is to supply such un-
Objectionable matter as the readers
desire and In such quantity as their
appetites seem to demand. You ar
que that this appetite should GER
tainly be satisfied, after the consump-
ton OF the "hogsh cad" of informa-
ton upon the Jenries-Johnson fight
that We have supplied through these
columns. We agree with you. You
state that other Negro journals do
advertisements. as We have seen Mt
TO permit to be represented in our
columns. We argue that the principle
is the same. that to admit one is no
worse than 10 admit many and vice
versa
However. thank you for your
friendly criticism and shall strive to
profit hereby, at the same time re-
minding you that i ana directly re-
sponsible for the tone and moral
standard of the matter appearing in
the editorial department of The
Planet and that the news matter and
advertisement departments, DO not
affect the policy of the party or in
dictate the purposes OF the publica-
ton. If fraudulent advertisements
appear or fakirs are given recogni-
ton, then the moral tone of the
journal is correspondingly injured.
With best wishes. am,
Very truly yours.
