A TIMELY REVIEW.
(By James Arthur Hamlett.)

One of the things aimed at by the white press, especially
of the South, has been to educate the public as to the alleged
inferiority of the Coored race. This has been evidenced by
the almost universal practice of giving the widest publicity
to the Negroes weaknesses, unduly stressing his crimes and
eXaggeratlng his vices; at the same time paying but little,
III many cases, no attention to his virtues, his progress, his
respectfully and worth as a citizen; seldom have glaring
headlines told of his unparalleled achievements. OF course.
there have been a few notable exceptions, for which we are
profoundly grateful.
That the race has been able to do so well under such CON
ditiOns and facing such hostile sentiment, famed by the
white press and acquiesced in by the white pulpit, to an as
tonishing degree, is one of the wonders of the world. That
the race has been so slow in recognizing the imperative press
of its own, and so derilect and half-hearted in its support of
the same, has been amazingly disappointing to those who
have endeavored to serve i'll that direction. The white man
has ben able to build up papers that are not only large and
powerful in their circulation and influence, but large in the
financial returns for the investment made, and this. too, not
without the support of the Negro. On the other hand, if any
Negro has become rich i'll the newspaper business, we have
not had an introduction to him. As a matter of fact, the
average Negro newspaper just barely exists; due to the lack
OF whole-hearted, loyal support the race should give to its
own press which seek so u~nselfshly and sacrifcingly to serve
the people-The Christian Index, Jackson, Tenn.
