cent sweater that same Negro had
purchased a home in an exclusive
neighborhood or opened a good bus
mess the papers would not have
said word about it.
The Negro newspaper should
have the unstinted support Of the
race because it publishes all of the
good news and the constructive
race ideals that will help US for
ward. The men who fight the bat
ties of the race with their pens and
broadcast our achievements week

vements are, and smaller still the
vehicle of expression through
which the stories come to US, are
doing the race an invaluable SER
vice.
Negro business men shofild ad-
vertise in race papers. That is the
kind of support that will make any
paper bigger and better. Many
Negro papers carry questionable
advertisements in order to get
money to run on. All of that
goofer bag, rabbit foot, and love
powder "bunk" is carried to pay for
the Social Column for which the
elite, whose names are carried
therein, never pay a cent.

Solomon would put down their
hammers and put up their money.
The head of every Negro home
should subscribe for at least one
good race paper and see that it is
read in their home. Every Ne

worker among the people should do
the same.

in a letter.
If the words Caucasian, and Sem
tie, and African, and Greek, and
Roman, and other such racial and
national denominations, are capt.
talized there is every reason for
the use of the capital in this IN
stance.
The Negro deserves the recogni.
ton which has been asked and
which is being generally granted.
The race in America has made a
wonderful climb out of the depths
of slavery, out of ignorance and
out of poverty in the last 60 years.
They have gained education, wealth,
and economic and political stand
ing.
They have become an important
element in the life of the country
and on the whole have won and
have held the respect and the good
will of the dominant race among
.whom they have lived and worked.

Negroes And The
NegroNewSpaperS
Bv Mamie H. Burroughs

(For the Associated Negro Press
"There is nothing in them"
That is the alibi of millions of Ne
groes who dot not take race pa
pers. There certainly is more
about Negroes in the smallest race
paper than there is about them IN
the largest daily paper. Put this
in your pipe and smoke it-A race
that undertakes or despises its
own effort at self-expression, how
ever crude, will never attain unto
things more excellent.
Negro newspapers have a real
moral and social value in spite OF
their imperfections and limitations.
If Negroes do any worthwhile thing
the race newspaper is the only pa.
per that tells the world the full
story and carries the pictures OF
the actors along with it.
If there is nothing in Negro pa
pers it is because there is nothing
going on, or because those who are
doing it do not know the value OF
publicity or those who should write
it up are sitting in the seat OF the
scornful.
The critics Of Negro papers could
make news by starting something
new, saying something different,
doing something worthwhile, and
advertising something worth buy
ing. That's what makes a news
paper go and that's what makes
copy for reporters.
The Negro newspaper is the only
source from which to get current
information about the worthwhile
things that are going on among
Negroes. The editorial column or
the columnist is the only source
from which to get the viewpoint OF
the race on some vital questions.
Only once in many moons will you
find in the daily papers creditable
write-ups of the addresses given,
and the proceedings of even our
largest meetings, or of our most
pretentious undertakings. The dali
ly papers seldom tell the stories
of our greatest achievements. In
fact, news reports about Negroes
or Negro meetings are always writ
ten in a different style and tone
from the stories that are written

report such events the excerpts

so emasculated that they sound
