dreams of kids such as he are, well,
supposed to be just dreams.
In high school he was associate
editor of the school paper and was
school editor of the early Kansas
City Call.
Bell Hop
This boy though did not like the
squalor, the lack of opportunity
he glimpsed in his home town, most
of all he hated the clouded future.
So in 1922 with an early acquired
family he HE'D himself northward.
Industrious, he took what came to
hand and we find him in Mime
apolis, hopping bells at the Elk's
Club. Here he made his dream his
hobby, so it is not surprising that
we find him spending his spare
time helping in the publication of
the Northwest Bulletin Appeal. He
worked and he learned. Meanwhile
he had broadened the scope of his
activities and became correspon-
dent for the Chicago Defender.
He kept his eye peeled for bet
ter job though and at his first OPP
portunity he entered the Pullman
service. Meanwhile the newspaper
folded. Whether he surmised the
reason or not, we shall probably
never know, but the incident GER
tainly did not deter him, for in 1927
we find him taking a partner, ].
E. Perry, and with a group of pub
lie spirited citizens founding the
Twin City Herald. The Twin City
Herald grew to be a paper of con-
siderable influence in the COM
munity. With the audacity charac-
teristic Of his newsboy days, New
man quit the sure money job of
railroading to devote all of his time
to his publication.
Again he attempted to broaden
his scope and one year later we find
him issuing the Timely Digest, the
first and only Negro magazine ever
published in the northwest. This
organ lasted a year, which con-
sidering all things is something of
a record in itself. His experience
as a magazine editor spurred him
to plan greater things in publishing
and in 1884 he left his partner to
follow the "hairbrained" scheme of
editing a paper in each of the Twin
Cities.
Everybody that knew anything
about Negro newspapers, knew it
wouldn't work, but the Minneapolis
Spokesman and st. Paul Recorder
have been going strong for nine
years, and are still movingI
There are other records this Kan
sas City newsboy broke. A high
school graduate, he never had day
of formal journalistic training, yet
his editorials are copied by many a
publisher who would not have con-
sidered hiring him as a reporter in
his earlier days. His wife says he
can't use good English, but every
body else apparently likes it and
seemingly understands it.
Farseeing, in 1871 he acted as
volunteer advisor to employing
agencies and prime contractor of
the Twin Cities Ordnance Plant,
using this method to assure Ne
groes their share of employment in
the new war industry. He must
have done his job well for in 1912
he was made a member of the
plants personnel department, Civ
ing him top fight job recognized
as such throughout the country.
Meanwhile with the assistance of
his wife, Mrs. De Velma Newman,
who operates his business, he
makes the deadline with his edi-
torials, and gets the paper out on

Writer Describes
Scenes at Natl
Baptist Meeting
By Rev. Clarence T. r. Nelson

AS a Methodist minister, I
do not hesitate to say that I
saw Americas greatest Ne
grow mass movement in &C
ton on Thursday, September
9, when l visited the National
Baptist Convention, Inc, in the
Eighth Illinois Regiment Armory,
Chicago.
Although I have been attending
conventions and conferences of
various kinds practically all over
America since I was eleven years
old the National Baptist Conven-
ton is in a class by itself and
unique in many ways to me.
I certainly never saw so many
Negroes attending a convention as
I saw in Chicago and 1 did not
see all who attended the conven-
ton by any means. The Armory
was packed with more than 5000,
with hundreds milling around on
the outside who could not get in,
and meetings being held in two
churches at the same time. / am
told that more than 5000 delegates,
ministers and laymen, attended
this great convention presided over
by DR.. D. v. Jemison, the modest
Alabama, able successor of the
late DR.. L. X. Williams.
Breaking Down Iron Gates"
was the subject of a truly great
sermon delivered at MONDAY by
Rev. E. c. Estelle, of Dallas, Tex
as. The sermon was well prepared
and delivered in a forceful and eff
fective manner.
Pointing out that the Negro is
faced with many iron gates every
where in this nation the Texas
preacher declared that there is no
real use of the word of God if it
does not apply to present-day
needs. "God can and will open
iron gates today, if we will get on
His side," Rev. Estelle declared.
Rayford Logan Speaks
DR.. Rayford Logan,> layman
and a professor in Howard Univer-
sity, delivered an outspoken ad-
dress on "Social Service" in the
afternoon. ''The Negro church
must teach the white South to treat
the Negro right the Christian
church barely practices brother
hood" DR.. Logan asserted.
Several chaplains were intro
duced by DR.. Jernigan, head Of the
Conventions Commission on Chap
lains. Among the chaplains intro
duced was Captain H. B. Fuller,
who was relieved of his post with
Negro troops in the South Pacific
area because he spoke out against
some of the abuses and discrimina-
lions heaped on Negro soldiers. As
he spoke l thought about the fact
that Jesus Christ was nailed to a
cross because he would not COM
promise with the truth. More
power to chaplains and preachers
like Captain Fullerl

Ask him how he managed to do

modestly says it was luck and hard
work. We say it was courage and

NEW YORK, Dec. 81 (UP)-Na-
tional League President Ford Frick
confirmed today that a new base
ball with synthetic rubber core
had been approved by the major
leagues and that it would be avail
able in quantity production for the
1914 season.
The ball replaces the Balata core
ball used last season and blamed
generally for the drop in batting
averages in both leagues.
F'rick also discussed the baseball
manpoWer situation briefly, stress.
ing that the National League was
determined to carry ON as long as
every club was able to put team
ON the field.
This matter was discussed at
some length during the winter
meetings early this month and We
have come now to the decision that
financial losses, no matter how
heavy they may be, will not close
up our parks" he said.
