THE DANGER ZONE.

In the current .ssue of the Journal
rational Medical Association, the edi
or, DR.. C.. V. Roman, in discussing
Danger Zone" says:
In the process of growth, socie-
ties, associations, races and ma
tons reach a stage of conflicting
ambitions and contradictory coun-
sells where individuals prefer each
his own way, ana right and sue
cess are lost in the seething caul-
dron of jangling personalities.
This has ever been the bane OF
democracy; medical organization
among us is just now in this dan
ger zone. 1t vas manifest in Il
last National Meeting in Boston.
Its ominous shadow has already
fallen across the pathway of the
approaching Washington session.
1t was at the Alabama State Meet
ing in Birmingham in March.
1t was in South Carolina at Spar
tanburg in April. 1t was in
Georgia at Savannah in May, and
in Tennessee at Knoxville in June.
The ignorant agree; the inquir-
ing disagree; the wise agree"
We are in the inquiring stage.
May our hourishing organizations
local, state and national-pass
safely into the wise state of uni
ty.
This conclusion of the editor of til
Journal can wisely be applied to a
Negroes who have made any headwa
in this country. They are seeking fo
the truth and every fellow thinks Il
has found it, when IN reality if the
could all see how little they know an
how much there is to learn a wOrkil
agreement could be reached and grea
or accomplishments attained.

NEGRO PRESs AssOCIATION.

The first annual meeting of the
National Negro Press Association has
passed into history, and the echo car
RES the news to the world that the
delegates attendant at that meeting
turned things around and around, for
better we hope. Many changes will
be noticed in the official roster, and
we have no complaint to register
AGAINST any of the newly elected Of
Rcers nor those who were fortunate
enough to be reelected. One change
believe 10 be a timely me was the
election of Mr.. r. w. Thompson co..
responding secretary. We look upon
him as being peculiarly fitted for that
position. for if the association sue
ceeds the corresponding secretary is
the man who must bring about that
success.
The Negro Press Association is an
Lasolute necessity, fer the Negro news
|rapers are expected to cope with the
times. Not that they are required to
give the same news as dailies, bat
news that is just as wholesome ID
those for whom it is especially IN
It.nded. II was given out from the
New York meeting that the news
bureaus in the country would not
furnish news to Negro newspapers,
hut the truth of the matter is there
are TOO many sO-called news bureaus
that know little or nothing about .th'
news of interest among Negroes, and
care less, but who find a ready sale
among our people for their patched-ur
stuff.
A Negro press association to be Ell
~fective will have to be conducted on
new principles. The undertaking L
an experiment, and its officials, an.
all who are concerned, will have tc
work out a plan of operation. The
time has come when the habit OF
every man striking at the same thing
differently must stop. The, Negro
press must put itself in position tc
serve the people, which can only he
done by a general understanding as t
tie peoples needs. We are convinced
that such an understanding can best
5e had through an association such as
we are %endeavOring to organize.
