WHITE PROFESSOR DECLARES
COIORED PEOPLE ARE NO LONG

PERS FOR NEWS CONCERNING
THEM or TO TEACH THEM
HOW TO THINK.

Robert IT. Kcrln, white, professor in
the University of Virginia, says so in
an article on colored newspapers print
cd in the June 20 issue of the New York
Evening Globe.
According to Mr.. Kerlin, there are
four hundred colored newspapers pub
Ishcd in the United States and they
are more widely read than ever before.
There is no lack of evidence that the
Negroes are going to their own papers
for information and guidance. Those
who live in small communities and rural
districts have papers come to them
from large cities, preferably northern
cities, where the editors dwell in the
safety zone.
''In my own Virginia town, where
tie colored population is less than one
thousand, / found the New York Age,
Afro American, Baltimore, the Chicago
Defender the Boston Guardian, Crisis,
Washington Eagle, Richmond Planet
and the Southwestern Christian Advo-
cate. the first two being among the abl-
est and most outspohen papers in the
country, but all Of there are radical.
ApDarently colored people of today will
have nothing to do with any other kind.
Disbelieve White Papers.
" "To these and others of like quality
they are going for trustworthy reports
of Negro Uprisings, Negro Riots =
so-called by the white press-and lynch
ings and wrathful denunciation of them.
The colored press is now the rival Of
the colored pulpit in influence. There
are signs that it is coming into the first
place.

light of this city, makes editorial com

recent decision Of the United States
Supreme court upholding the power of a
state to enact and enforce JIM
Crow law. 1t says in part: 'This de,
cision hurts business and in the END
will work general hardship upon the
whole people regardless IF color or con
dition. 1t hurts business by perpetuat
ing the discrimination and injustlces
that are slowly but surely driving the
Negro population from the south. When
the Negro leaves the south IN large
numbers the south experiences a short
age in man power. This shortage cur
ia ila the production of sugar cane, corn,
cotton, lumber and rice. This curtall-
ment of production and the output OF
raw materials appreciably lowers the
volume of business done. Southern
planters and merchants become land
poor, the land instead of producing the
staples grows up in weeds and jungles'

"morc teaching and less preaching;''
that it is "mistake to call a white

electing the "air- tight - trustee boards.
G.. David Houston, writing in the cur
rent number Of the Crisis, makes out a
strong ease against the colored colleges
as at present administered.
Mr.. Houston was formerly q teacher
OF English at the Baltimore High
school, and later head of the department
of English at Howard university, which
re resigned to accept headship of
department in the Washington public
schools.
The most obvious weakness of the
colored colleges, says Mr.. Houston, lies
in the delusion that the president must
be minister Of the gospeHinstcad Of
an educator, whereby such schools are
becoming more and more repulsive to
the broad minded professors.
''It is also mistake to call white
man to the presidency Only two types
of white men, are attracted, = he adds,
namely "the one whose career is just
about spent, and the other who finds
his remuneration as president of e.
gro college so far in excess of that
which his talents can bring him from
his own people,
White presidents according to MIR.
Houston get themselves good salaries
and give large increases to the white
professors in colored schools, while the
colored professors do the work. Allan
ia s prestige has always rested on Dr.
Dubois, Fiske IS on DR.. Haynes and
Howard s on Dean Miller. No white
man in these institutions, not even the
president, he says, can match these
names,

are Forced to- Abandon Publication.
New York, July 16.-Beginning on
Thursday, July l, newspapers through
out the country began paying the high
est price for newsprint paper bought
under contract, since civil war days.
Shortly after the world war news
rapers were paying less than cents
pound for newsprint paper. For the
first six months of this year the unlver-
sal contract price has been 412c per
pound f. o. b. mill, but beginning July
/, the price of newsprint has advanced
from 4 41hc to 5hc for July, August, and
Scptember, and to 6Hc for October, No.
vember and December, increase OF ap-
priximately 33 per cent.
Range is Higher.
In the open market paper sold IN
carload lots without contract, ranges
from lie to zoe per pound, f. o. b. mill.
Indications are that the price for l92l
will be still higher. Many of the small
papers, depending on open market quo
tations, are being driven into bank
r1lptcv and a number of publications
have been forced to suspend.
The excessively high price of news
,n.int paper is forcing many newspapers
through the country to advance SUB
scription prices.
Prices Advanced.
