NEGRO RISES R 0 i.
CATTLE BOY TO
FAMED PUBLISHER

New York, Nov. 2S.-From cattle
boy to city solon and newspaper pub,
Understanding altogether "on his
own'-this epitomizes the career Of
John w. Harris, the only negro mem
ber-elect of the New York board of
aldermen, which will be seated Jan
uary l.. -,
Born in Topeka, Kansas. and rear
ed in the saddle on a large cattle
ranch, Harris easily felt the surge for
higher things. The little circumstance
of being broke did not prevent him
from coming east. He worked his way.
Upon his arrival, he also found ways
and. can of working his way
through Harvard university, being
graduated in 1907 and attending Har-
ward law school for two years.
Encouraged by the managing edi-
tor of a Boston newspaper for which
he had written special articles, Har-
rls determined to abandon the law for
journalism n at the instigation of
cooker I. Washington, came to New
York to start newspaper for his own
race. He founded and now is editor
and owner of the New York News. a
paper confined largely to colored peo-
pie. but covering the local field.
Two years ago he \ determined to
seek office as alderman from the
Harlem BLACK belt" He was elected
and his work for the interests Of his
community earned him reelection at
the recent municipal election.
