Dear Editor:
The Editor.

1 hope you do not consider me IN
duly sarcastic in this letter, but there
are some things l want to say about
certain conditions that may be con-
strued as a knock to the Echo.
Nevertheless, as am subscriber
to the Echo, citizen of st. Paul,
voter, property owner, and therefore
taxpayer, the constitution of the
U. S. guarantees me the right to life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness,
with the right of free speech thrown
in for good measure.
Your paper has given considerable
publicity to both sides of the recent
fight between the Pullman Co. and
it's porters. You have had your re-
porters interview the leading men of
both sides of the controversy to get
the facts of the case to publish for
the benefit of your readers. Very
well.
take this opportunity to tell you
that in my opinion you deliberately
wasted perfectly good space in your
paper by publishing all of that junk
about some Christian Home or other
that will exist nowhere but in the
very tickle minds of those fostering
it. The scheme is absurd. And as
are most of such ideas for race prog
ress, stupid, to say the least. We
have too many preachers and church
es now. If the Echo would get busy
and do some of the many things that
might benefit the Negroes body, feel
reasonably sure that the fates or
something will look after his soul.
For instance, why don't you in
vestigate the political and economic
conditions among Negroes and pub
lish the facts to your readers? Your
readers are looking forward to you
to give them lineup on the present
office holders of the city. We want
to know their attitude toward us.
We want to know whom to vote for,
if we are to expect justice in the
court; we want to know whom to
vote for if we are to expect equality
and fair play from the police. We
want to vote in such a way that an
other humiliating incident like that
of the Jarrett boy will not again hap
pen. Are we getting justice in the
courts and from other public Off
Gals whom, our tax money helps to
support? How many Negroes are
employed in the city government or.
in. city public works of any kind?
You are expected to inform your
readers along these lines.
The thousands of Negro voters in
st. Paul are worth considering by ev-
cry aspirant. to public Office as we'll
as by the present incumbents.
don't want to hear about how to build
fine churches; what 1 want to hear
is how to get good jobs, so in the
future, we can build factories and
control banks.
