THE COMMODITY OF NEWSPAPERS.

A newspaper has one staple commodity which 1t offers it's customers, the general public, and that is the news. When 1t ceases to deliver that staple it not only loses caste as a newspaper but it very naturally loses its customers No business, and newspaper is essentially busi- ness requiring sound judgment and more than average business ability for successful operation can exist long if it fails to give it's customers full value in trade for the cash they expend. charge is made against newspapers that they controlled by their advertisers, charge that finds support from unsuccessful journalists and that is frequently banded by whoever wishes to weaken the reputation and influence of news papers And because it is reiterated, dug ur again and again by some who themselves have something to gain or "an ak to grind it is not surprising it has found lodgment in the minds oi a not inconsiderable number of people through out the country.
 Speaking on What Is Newspaper" before the Boston Chamber of Commerce recently, Col Robert H. Mccormick. editor of the Chicago Tribune. of the eountry's greatest daily pub lications. discussed that charge In this con nection he cited figures showing the relation o the advertiser to the income of his own paper saying:
 In copy of the Chicago Tribune,
 for instance there were 12.306 separate
 advertisements paid for by people of all
 religious and political beliefs. The larg-
 est advertiser in this newspaper last year
 produced 2.1 per cent of advertising
 revenue Assuming willingness on
 the part of the advertiser to spend lis
 money for political support rather than
 sales effect and assuming cupidity on
 the part of the newspaper proprietor.
 how many advertisers with identical in-
 ferests or the political opinion
 would it take to justify proprietor in
 ignoring the rest of his advertising
 clients. to say nothing of his readers
 upon whom he. well as his advertisers
 depend for living?
 As for the charge that the news is
 distorted for ulterior purposes it would
 he as ridiculous for milk company with
 a big investment to put poison In its
 milk News is our staple m tfade anu x We ourselves would be the ones injured
 if we distorted it
 Of course, Col. Mccormick is correc9 T

witnessed such a stirring spectacle
as that presented by the Elks' pa,
rade Tuesday. More than 10000
Elks, with some 80 bands par!ici-
pated in this mammoth parade
which wendell its way through the
main streets of New York and Har-
lem. In spite OF the downpour of
rain, which drenehod the marchers
and the spectators. the parade con-
tinued and the participants marched
with undampened zeal in water
soaked uniforms. The streets were
lined with thousands of onlooSers
who applauded the paraders and the
officials as they passed.
As in former years. the band CON
test held the attention of the dele
gates and created much rivalry. The
first prize was won by the Cato

of contestants gathered from thru
out the Jurisdiction, The Mitti Mo
narehs Band of New York City.

times, was ineligible this year, due
to the rules Of the contest which
eliminates the host-city aggregation.
Conspicuous among the reports of
the various phases of the work OF
the order was that of the Education
al Commission headed by Judge w.
G. Hueston of Gary. Indiana, This
report showed that through the Ed
vocational Fund of the order, many
young Negro men and women were
now pursuing college work in some
of the best colleges and universities
in America. Others were receiving
training in professions and voca.
tions, but all being prepared for real
citizenship and leadership. DR. VIII

Now that the annual conference is
just around the corner the thought
occurs as to the fund set aside to de-
fray the expenses of lay delegates
TO the general conference next year.
Who is responsible for the raising of
this fund and into whose hand does
il repose when not appropriated to
the purpose for which it was col
lected.
Spokane district was assessed for
that purpose four years ago and the
assessment collected. but it appears
no appropriation for such expenses
was made; hence, the sum collected
must be in the hand Of some one and
will be available for use to be added
to whatever amount possible to be
collected this year. Doubtless the
matter will not be forgotten and win
be sifted in conference next week al
Portland. These matters sometimes
seem mere trifles but become magni-
fled and distorted under pressure of
constant and prolonged discussions.
However, let's know about it.
Members and friends of st. James
heard for the last time this confer
ence year one of Rev. Bailey's splen-
did sermons for which they have
shown much appreciation during the
year by rallying to his aid. A good
collection was given and Mrs. G. J..
Dorsey, president of the stewardess
board ,recounted the sum collected
through her for conference claims.
Without doubt we can say this has
been a successful year,
Sergt. Joseph Claggeft is in from
the veterans hospital and seems
much improved.

purchasing power OF the Negro COM
The educational and social
level of the race has been raised
correspondingly. afi att
Politically the race has shown no
great civic advance. II isvstill the
prey OF machine politicians OF both
the white and colored races and II
is subject to the same demoraliza-
ton which is manifest in the rest
OF community whose politics are
spoils-ridden Negro civic leaders de-
plore this condition but rightly ar
que that until the rest of the COM
inunity progresses the Negro group
should not be condemned for its
lethargy and civic backwardness.
While the mass of Negroes still
lives on a low economic level there
is evolving Negro leisure class with
social standards and practices SIM
liar to those of the white leisure
class and a similar detachment TO
the problems CT the less fortunately
situated of their own people, Well
TODD Negroes patronize the arts and
letters and have country estates and
country clubs like those Of white
people of the same economic and cul-
tural status.
Erect Own barriers
certain degree of segregation Is
voluntarily praeticed by Negroes OF
this class. They have no desire To
penetrate social groups which would
not be congenial and find satisfac-
'tion in their own social groupings.
In other spheres racial barriers arc
transcribed and Negroes aud whites
mingle freely and amicably because
their interests are common.
Places of amusement and dissipa-
ton such as cabarets and gambling
houses represent one sort Of inter-
racial intercourse. while reform and
cultural movements In which whites
and Negroes cooperate represent
another type. Friends of inter-racial
cooperation believe that in this mu-
tual acquaintance lies the hope OF
the future.
