Trial By
Newspaper
(EditoriGl)

The United Press story in the
June 16 Minneapolis Star-Journal
on the Beaumont, Texas, race riots
is typical of unfair daily press han
ding of the highly explosive deli
cate race angle in news stories.
The paragraph reproduced below
actually establishes without basis
the truth of the guilt of some I'M
named Negro. In the reprinted
story we have bold faced the words
which actually set up in the mind
of the reader that the United Press
had really established without a
doubt that a woman was assaulted
and by Negro.
This is the paragraph which acts
as both judge and jury for Mime
apolis readers.
BEAUMONT, TEXAS
(UP)-One white man was
killed in rioting between mobs
of white men and Negroes
which started last night after
a Negro had assaulted the
young wife of a defense work
er.
The fair thing would have die
tated that the story read: Negro is
alleged to have assauIted-not the
incontrovertible "had assaulted"
Intelligent readers can imagine
what disservice repetition of this
type of news handling in a hundred
newspapers in hundred cities does
to race relations all over the coun-
try.

St. Paul NAACP
Holds Two Well
Attended Meetings

The regular monthly meeting of
the st. Paul Branch of the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, held in the
Halle @. Brown Community House
Tuesday night, proved to be one
of the most enthusiastic meetings
of the year. A good representa-
ton of the entire membership was
present and in militant mood and
although differences of opinions
were sharp on some issues, peace
and harmony prevailed throughout
the meeting.
The first important action of the
meeting was the adoption of a
resolution urging Senator Joseph
H. Ball, junior senator of Mime
sofa, to become a sponsor for the
anti-poll tax bill that was recently
passed by the House of Representa-
tives and is now in committee in
the Senate. Senator Henrik Ship
stead will be urged to support the
anti-poll tax bill, in spite of the
fact that he voted against cloture
before the bill was killed by the
filibuster of Senator Bilbo of Mis-
sissippi and other southern reac-
tionaries, who were aided by pussy
footing northern senators in the
Senate last year.
]. L. Rowland, chairman of the
Educational Committee, was elected
chairman of a special anti-poll tax
committee, that will lead the
Branch's fight for support of the
bill. Other members of the COM
mittee are S. Vincent Owens, Will
liam Heron, Henrietta Capesius,
I. Myrtle Garden, Dorothy Schultz,
Alverta M. Coram and ]. N. Smith.
An incident of alleged discrim-
ination by a local union was re-
ferred to the Labor Committee for
investigation.
Brief reports on the national
emergency conference, held in De-
troit, June So, by the National As
ISOLATION for the Advancement of
Colored People, were made by the
delegates, Mrs. Grace Carlson, Mrs.
Alverta Coram and Rev. Clarence
T. R. Nelson.
Sunday Mass Meeting
About one hundred and fifty peo-
pie attended the special report
meeting for the emergency con-
ference on Sunday at Halle O.
Brown House. The meeting was
planned by the On To-Detroit Com
mittee. "On Guard" a film show
ing many activities of the national
NAACP, was shown at the Sunday
meeting. In the report of the On
To-Detroit Committee by Cyrus l.
Lewis, more than the $4,000 given
to the delegates for their expenses
to the conference was raised by
pledges, the Sunday meeting and
two entertainments, in less than a
months time, with the surplus
being turned over to the Branch's
treasurer.
At the suggestion of the presi-
dent, Rev. Clarence T. R. Nelson
and after a spirited debate, the
meeting ordered the sending of a
telegram to President Roosevelt
urging him to veto the Connally-
Smith anti-strike bill. The text of
the telegram sent to President
Roosevelt Tuesday night is as fol-
lows: "The freedom to strike is a
fundamental right of employees in
a democracy even in wartime. We
earnestly urge you to prevent the
curtailing of this freedom by veto

THOUSANDS ARE FRIENDS

A good thing to remember is that
thousands of white people are friendly
to the cause of the Negro. If this
were not so our own efforts to progress
would be doubly hard. Keep those
friends, make more friends and keep

In Local Bridge Circles
BY Frank B. Lord,

Thirty-one full teams, all of whose
personnel are Government employees
or in the armed services, will con-
stitute the membership of the Fed
eral Bridge League, which inaugu-
rated its team of four series of
bridge games Tuesday night. The
series will run in two sessions of
13 plays each. The first will ter
inmate the week before the holi-
days, and the second will begin i'm
mediately after January l, 1914.
During the two weeks of Christmas
recess, there will be pair games at
which nonmembers are eligible to
play The only other break in the
team series will be the master pair
games played on the last Tuesday
of each month. Winners in these
games will be eligible for master
points in the American Contract
Bridge Leagues lists.
The membership of the Federal
is the largest in several years, and
it was found necessary to move from
the quarters formerly occupied to a
larger hall in the Wardman Park

None has followed art as a pro-
fession but all are good craftsmen
and keen to draw and to paint
to set down what they see that
others may see it likewise. And
their sketches, while obviously artis-
tic, are. we are told, completely vo-
racious. Here is an interesting COM
bination of warrior and artist.
Referring back to the sketches,
note should be made that while they
are realistic they are rendered with
lightness of touch which is sur
prising. They have charm and con-
vincing quality. Often, too, they
give indication of things felt as we'll
as seen. For instance one man has
painted, in water color, a comrade
lying fiat on the ground while bombs
were falling, his long body stretched
out to unnatural length, his whole
attitude that of abandon to fate.
It is as if he had said, MY body
is miles long-sure to be hit. Well,

The majority of the landscapes

gifted.

the Nazis,. and, last but not least
OF all, Hermann Goering, pompous,
bemedaled chief Of the Luftwaffe.
In reading this book, one is further
impressed with the already we'll
known fact that no greater gang of
thieves and cutthroats than the
Nazis ever existed. But the author
is kind in dealing with such men
as Junkers, under whom he worked.
Basically, Mr.. Hermann sets out
to prove that the reason for the
decline of the Luftwaffe is lack of
vision, or ability, in men elevated
to high positions because of party
Affiliations. The Luftwa.1e, he says,
was conceived primarily for short,
conclusive campaigns, with long
breathing spells between. No plans
were made for servicing, repairing
or reclaiming damaged aircraft
during campaigns. "A pilot simply
stepped Into another plane and
went on with his job. This worked
In the short campaigns Of Poland,
France, Norway and the Low Coun-
tries. But 1t did not work In the
battle Of Britain because the Nazis
could not gain their primary objec-
tive, destruction of planes on the
ground and mastery of the air. ;.
Whether Mr. Hermann is correct
in his conclusions that the Luft-
waite already is defeated remains
to- be proved, j. N, HAMILTON.

The Apostle

By Sholem Asch. Translated
From the Yiddish By Maurice
Samuel. (Putnam'S.)
In this novel Mr.. Asch carries on
the task which he began in The
NaZarene," that of relating the his
tory of the early development of
Christianity. THE Nazarene" was
built about the life of Christ. 1.-THE
Apostle" centers about st. Paul.
The technique is the same as that
used in the earlier work-to view
Christianity as it seemed in the
eyes Of the Jews of the period, both
orthodox and converts.
AS in "The Nazarene," the Chris
tians are portrayed as simple, ig-
norant. weil-meaning people and the
orthodox Jews as, in the main, tol-
Grant, If somewhat contemptuous, of
the new religion. Christ, in the
earlier book, was shown through
Jewish eyes as poor, good, self
deluded man who wanted guidance
rather than punishment. Paul ap-
pears at first in somewhat familiar
light. His zeal for a true faith
derived from his early Jewish train
ing, in Mr.. Asch's Interpretation,
and his vision on the road to Da-
mascus was kind of seizure, de-
scribed as If of an epileptic nature,
to which he was regularly subject.
Paul is represented as suffering in
conscience over his part in the
martyrdom Of st. Stephen, for which
he had been sternly rebuked by his
Jewish teachers. In his later life
as Christian missionary his cour-
age, purity of purpose and ceaseless
energy are represented as the best
characteristics of his race.
There is a very perceptible nobility
about Mr.. Asch's treatment of the
crises in Paul's life. The author is
one who rises splendidly to a great
scene. His constant effort in his
present book seems to be to remind
Christians and Jews today of the
lnseparaole origins of their faiths
and to reconcile both to the fact
that there is much in the two re-
llglonS which is still common. No
one can miss the striving after true
tolerance which marks this story of
Christian saint by Jew, or the
effort to give-and demand-justice.
II the public accepts the work in
the spirit in which it has been
written-which is probably too much
to expect-a world of good could
come of the composition.

Indio's Problem Can Be
Solved h
By De Witt Mackenzie. (Dou.
bleday, DOrdn.)

By De Witt Mackenzie. lDou-
bleday, Doran.)
What the enormous and growing
Indian literature has needed for
long spell has been a knife-keen
book which would cut through to
the heart. Obviously such q book
would let some blood in the process,
particularly in the camp of the very
vocal liberal minority which has
been tub-thumping for Indian in
dependence since Gandhi ordered
his nonviolent British cam
paign which cost some 500 lives
nonviolently. of course. ~
The needed book seems to have
arrived with the publication of De
Witt Mackenzie's "India's Problem
Can Be Solved" Mr.. Mackenzie has
for a generation been one of the
sanest and most earnest of the As
sociated Press correspondents. For
generation he has been dealing
with the important men of the
world without making personal cap
ital of the fact, and what his book
points out cannot be ignored. And
will not be.
His thesis is simple. He believes
the negotiations which ended in
Gandhi's curious nonviolence could
have arrived at some cat least tenn
porary) adjustment had more tact
been used and had not the Allied
situation been so bad at the time.
He is convinced that now most In
dian leaders would welcome quick
solution. And he believes that a
solution may be found by Britain's
immediate establishment of a pro-
visional government with which the
Indian factions may cooperate for
the duration. Certain functions of
government would be reserved for
the British commonwealth, espe-
