Again liberty was crushed, and
again the Negro newspaper fought.
However, the Negro newspaper
remained journaistically illegiti-

ward a great change began to take
place. Certain papers commenced
national distribution, and many de-
veloped special feature depart

rightful positions on the editorial

turn the trick. 1t would not be
too difficult to find somewhere in
these communities someone capable
and trustworthy to whom to loan
the money.
And just that easily a business
could be established without call
ing upon an outside source for a
single dollar or the opportunity.
And that is why was so intrigued
in the coming together of a thou

thus that could be kept within the
Negro community's purse.
True it may be that no one man
in this area is prepared to meet
the expense involved in securing
proper equipment for this bust
ness. May 1 suggest how it can
be done by the communities?
St. Paul and Minneapolis each

of these institutions would be glad
to loan a few thousand dollars,
safely, if the money could be had.
Members of these Unions and
friends of cooperation could easily

establish a business. A dollar or
two from many individuals would

Still, the profession has not yet
found itself. Standards are MOI
firmly set; there are too many
glOrified hand-bills functiOning un-

orally degenerating the profession.
Large national publications, in a
frantic attempt to corner greater
circulation, have allowed them
selves to become too localized. For
instance, there will appear on one
great lifeless page, news of Read
ing, Pennsylvania, Santa Barbara,
California, Springfield, Illinois, and
several intermediary small towns
all written by rank amateurs and
of absolutely microscopic news
value. Editorial comment is still
too often injected into news items.
But in the future these things
may be remedied. A revitaized,
reorganized national news service,
with possible wire facilities, would
be a tremendous asset. And, if a
goal of journalistic purity is desir-
ed, makeup and composition must
veer away from the present sensa-
tional tendencies; while the as

torial attitudes would also be well
coined. All this can be accom-
plished, however, through but one
medium-the determined, whole
hearted support of the reader. Dis
regarding the stupendous service
newspapers have rendered the race,
there are those who consider it
fashionable and sophisticated to
knock and SANDER our journals at
every possible opportunity. This
attitude must be changed-it be-
speaks ignorance, ingratitude, and
lack of vision. 1t is in the hands
of the average reader to transform
our newspaper into journaiistieally
fiawless creations. And how can
we do this? Through intelligent,
loyal patronage of advertisers in
race periodicals. Such a course
would benefit the consumer, the
young job-hunting journalist or
printer, the newspaper as a COM
mercial enterprise, but most of all
the race itself, which, by this &C
ton, would retain it's most vital
and efficient weapon. A "big
stick" which no industriaist, bust
ness man, or politician would dare
defy.

orchestra take over the Coliseum
in St. Paul last week. was curl
Gus to discover what reason this
great concourse of people had to
induce it to meet at this pleasure
resort.
There were some excellent rea-
sons, found. Among them, clever
management, judicious advertising,
the lure of a foreign band with a
great reputation; a certain hyp-
motto influence engendered by a
crowd and always deeply enjoyed.
1t required no special acumen to
locate and evaluate these.
Hines has a remarkably efficient
group of musicians. He was wise
in getting the best available place
to show them off.
The promoters advertised gen.
erously. Hines and his men worked
hard, gave a fine and satisfactory
performance. If the Hines entour-
age ever elects to come this way
again, a thousand people stand
ready to welcome it with open
arms.
There were other reasons, of
course. Just as impelling if not
so flattering. Whatever the value
of the reason, this occasion demon
strated beyond peradventure the
possibility of bringing together a
thousand or more of our Twin City
group. Whether to dance and have
a good time or to discuss matters
of more serious moment-It can be
done!
Whatever difficulty is met by the
group or organization which elects
to shoulder this responsibility, the
benefits to be developed thereby
justify the repetition of the coop
erative need-just now!

Several white young men have been

their own men. They refuse, how.
ever, to continually send out SOS
calls every time they need a work,

to be on the lookout for just such
opportunities. Multiply this neigh,
borhood by all of Minneapolis, ther
