The Spokesman at Eleven

The Minneapolis SPOKESMAN is now eleven wears old
Rounded August TO- 1884 by its publisher has had
eventful career.
Eleven years not long time in the life of individuals
or but in the field of Minnesota Negro journalism
the lie expectancy not great The mortality rate of Negro
Journals IN Minnesota has always been high The relatively
small supporting population would appear to offer too
much of future to infant publication but the SPOKES
MAN survived
AS a matter of record the SPOKESMANS progress was
slow and the pull decidedly uphill Nineteen hundred and
hy1our was anything but prosperous. The three
Immediately following showed little improvement but four
years later the business index dropped sharply again Peo-
pie had money to buy much other than the bares

had difficult Job getting people to purchase the paper
The SPOKESMAN was ambitious effort and DESPITE
its lack of financial backing obtained large group of
readers but few who could would pay regularly In 1886
pie were reading each issue printed Whole families were
borrowing their neghbor paper Without goody number
OF paid newspaper does not very far there
fore emphasis placed increasing circulation In June
of this year. 94 the SPOKESMAN achieved the largest maid
subscription list in its history.
IN the early days the economically IMPOVERISHED Negro
community not attractive market advertisers They
must necessarily spend their advertising dollars in mediums
serving markets whose have money in their pockets
to spend People who hardly buy food poor
for general advertisers who have all types of merchandise
to sell.
Today the Negro in Minneapolis has real buying power
recent survey estimated the per capita income at $400
This increased per capita income reflected in the steady
growth of the SPOKESMAN. Although struggling against
many obstacles the paper stimulated the interest of the
community. The people became job and more COM
munty conscious Their buying and the
came INTO stronger arguments in selling advertising
AS a community medium the SPOKESMAN is increas-
ngy shouderng the task of helping to make Minneapolis the
beacon light of nteaca understanding and cooperation
America In this respect Minneapolis advance of
other cities in spite of the foes of full participation
of the Negro in the civic industrial and social life of the city

Where do they get all this nerve,

they have been getting away with

wish a Christian Y.M.C.A. to be

puzzled at never seeing a colored

They are surprised that some
colored boys get GEOGRAPHICALLY

board in a Jim Crow state where
colored men cannot vote because
of Jim Crow. Or that some In
dams do not want to fight for
Britain, or that some Africans
have no desire to kill Greeks for
the Empire. They are surprised
that Negroes would like to lead
armies, too, since armies must be
led. They are amazed that we even
dream of wanting to command
white soldiers. But why not {?
White soldiers command US.
am afraid the nerve of some
white folks has gone to their heads
and affected their brains SO that
they can't think right-only white

Getting and Holding
impressions of the job-seeker.
Prompt Replies Necessary

During the interview, questions
should be answered promptly and
with directness. For instance, your
age should be given in the form of
number corresponding to the
years lived. Birth date should he
answered by month, day and year
as: January IL, 1915. Across the
desk from the interviewer is no
place to decide about ones age.
Birth date and age must agree.
Address, length of residence, mari
tai status and all identifying infor-
nation should be quickly and accu-
rately given. Such questions are
asked by the interviewer for record
purposes, and not because of any
morbid interest in the applicants
age or personal state of affairs. The
information, however, does enter
into the interviewer's general i'm
preston of the applicant and is
used to assist in making a proper
referral. For example, a person
who gives his age as 35, but who
appears to be 80 would not readily
be referred to an employer whose
requisition calls for a person under
45. Another applicant with COM
parable job qualifications who al
though as has the appearance of
being 35 or younger would, in all
probability, be considered.
Directness and accuracy through
out the interview with correct
names and addresses of previous
employers or firms and exact dates
for the beginning and end of each
period of employment are very i'm
portant.
Rambling or volunteering ones
life history is an easy way to talk
ones self right out of an oppor-
tunity to make contact with a job.
Hesitancy, lack of assurance and
indirectness or evasion can be
equally harmful as these attitudes
produce distrust in the mind of the
interviewer.
Genuine self-assurance is the key
to satisfactory Employment Ser
vice interview, for it transfers to
the employment office worker an
acceptance of the applicant on his
own terms of self appraisal.
Assuming that a referral has
been obtained from the United
States Employment Service, next
week the employment interview
with the prospective employing firm
will be discussed under the title,

Early in the SPOKESMAN's hi:

Early in the SPoKESMAN's his
tory it unwittingly courted suicide
by giving away advertising space
which it should have been selling.
Today experience has taught US
the sounder methods of business
and the SPOKESMAN discrimi-
mates between advertising and
news.
Once advertising was palmed off
on the paper disguised as news.
Today, the SPOKESMAN is con-
scious of its most salable COM
Notwithstanding space-and is
no longer gullible. Advertising is
advertising and news is news.
In the old days the SPOKESMAN
used headlines and emotionally
written news stories to attack anti
Negro moves.
Today the weight of its influence
as a community medium is being
used effectively with far more con-

struetive methods, factually re-
ported news stories and logical edi-
torials.
In 1884, many people subscribed
to the paper from a philanthropic
motive. Some considered they were
encouraging a young man fortified
only with determination and an
idea.
Today, they subscribe to the
SPOKESMAN because it is an es-
tial community product without
which no local person can keep
abreast of the news of the city.
Since 1884 the philosophy behind
the SPOKESMAN has stood firm
We believe then that a group of
$500 citizens isolated to any de-
gree whatsoever from the larger
group needed an effective medium
of expression. We believed it then;
we believe it now. Our eleven years
operation justifes fully that phi
losophy.

negro patrons.
They have the nerve to run
Young Mems Christian associa-
tons with CHRISTIAN real big
in the title, and not let Negro in
the door. No shame about it,
either!
They have the nerve to turn out
motion picture after motion pic
ture in Hollywood, purporting to
represent American life, with not
a Negro in the cast, except maybe
sometimes servants. Yet Negroes
are mailmen, bus drivers, doctors,
lawyers, nurses, motormen, just
like anybody else, part of Amer
lean ife-one out of every ten
but not a part of their movies.
They have the nerve to accept
our money, like the Metropolitan
Life Insurance company, thou
sands of dollars every week, but
not hire a one of US in their offices.
They have the nerve to draft US
into the army without having a
single Negro on the Draft board
in many parts of the country, and
to command Negro troops with
white officers without ever letting
Negro officers command white
troops.
No Negroes Allowed
swear they are an amazing
people! They will own real estate
in Negro neighborhoods and rent
it out at high rentals, but live
themselves where restricted cove
nants won't let a Negro light.
Peace, it's truly wonderful!
They will open up a restaurant
for the public on a street where we
pay taxes-but if we come in, it
suddenly becomes FOR WHITE
ONLY. They'll hire US to cook the
food in the kitchen but won't let
US eat it in the dining room.
They'll let US nurse white babies,
but if we sit down beside those
same babies when they are grown,
they boiler social equality" No
lie, they do!
They drain a country of all it's
wealth, like India, then when the
Indians come to the Mother Coun-
try, England, they are treated like
a stepchild, in spite of the fact
that India is "the brightest jewel
in the Empires crown"
They stake off Africa and make
it land for their bombing bases
and airports, but if the Africans
want little self-government and
decent wages, they holler, "No!"
and act like Africa belongs to the
white races rather than the black.
That's the truth!
They set up in dusky Asia lily
white churches, clubs, and schools
where an Asiatic dare not enter.
Thousands of miles away from
home, they draw a color line in
somebody else's country, even in
Panama and Trinidad. FOR WHITE

OBTAINING A
"REFERRAL"
By Ethel M. Williams

The highest and most diff
cult hurdle in the path of the
Negro who is seeking a job
commensurate with his train
ing and skill, is the handicap
of color. From the first inter
view at one of the United States
Employment Service offices,
through each step in the process of
employment, the artificial disad-
vantage of belonging to a minority
group identified by different color
of skin, must be overcome.
Unfortunately, the policy of
many government employment Of
fees is to consider the Negro ap-
picant in the same or a similar
category to the physically or men
tally handicapped person. Over
protection to the point of actual
harm often exists. This protective
attitude denies the worker an op-
portunity to try to sell his services
In a market bidding for the very
type of skill the job-seeker has to
offer. "No market" he is told at
the first point of contact, because
the interviewer is so very certain
that the Negroes services are not
desired in specific positions that
further effort or consultation is
deemed unnecessary.
