Boston Editor Praises Two Texas Race Newspapers HOME EDITION BY C. F. RICHARDSON GREGORY PATRITION GRATEFUL! The conductor of this department has been literally overwhelmed with messages of commendation and congratulations from patrons of Gregory Patterson. We are generally, for this paper's editorial last week touching upon the uncalled forness of the patron (and ante) of "acting" Principal W. L. Davies of Fourth Ward Elem- It seems that Providence took a hard grip in the matter and has gradually erupted a practically ruined the yard of Gregory School, and opened teachers' buildings to the public. To gate all the plies of mud and dirt scattered incontinently over the ground. Under the present arrangement, a regular hatch in the mud-shack shack reggy, the numerous plies of dirt and mud placing wooden blocks in building in the mud, and our small children are compelled to come in daily touch and live amid these muds. In the school boys are pressed into service to literally lift some of the female teachers into building; while the cafeteria, where most of these small children eat daily, is pressed into proximity to this stagnant water and to sinee. To the toilets, which are located in the yard, both teachers and students贮存 of dirt and mud; and mud falling down, soiling their clothes and impairing and menacing their physical health. Just because a modern brick structure is now being erected at Gregory, the children should be subjected to this unwholesome and unhealthy situation. Children is worth far more, in dollars and cents, than the school building and elementary school. It is against this condition that The Institute of Education of the school protest and complain, and which "Professors" Davy endeavors to educate the public, the public manager of the public school, which called forth the edifice of the school. ANOTHER ASSAULT "HOAX?" For the third time within the last two years, this community has hadNegroes have been alleged to have vested their bestial passions upon them, and Negroes have been case happening here last week in First Ward. Of these reported "rape" cases, the young women were in company with white male enrollees in the community, and been made, nor even a suspect picked up by the police or constabulary of Either our peace officers are slack in their duties, or the usual cry of the police is to plowled as a smoke screen to cover up the dirty work incident to some of the clandestine pelting parties so preemptive of the police. It seems peculiarly strange that a man made up young white women within the corporate limits of Houston with such seeming regularity, and the police have been made up large in this community without let or hinderance; "buttes" "can be caught and punished in both communities where such outrage occurs, and Hallis and Harris County apprehend at least one of these "black raiders." In two of these reported "rape" cases, the alleged victim made no sense of the situation, and same after seeing his lady fair safety home; and the public has never been able to criminalize the public, the daily papers stated in the latest robbery, the daily papers stated that the young man seceded his female companion to her home, and killed his charges, despite the fact THE HOUSTON INFORMER UNSIGHTLY CONDITION AT GREGORY Photo by W. H. Smith. To substantiate its charges of recent date, touchup on the unpleasant, deplorable dishulh healthy condition of the school, Gregory School, Fourth Ward elementary public school for colored children located at Wilson, Cleveland and Victor streets. The Informer herewrites, "The school is in poor grounds; and this paper is willing to permit the patrons of the school and the general public to sit in judgment on this case." Companion pictures show the piles of dirt and mud in the school yard; same being plied so high at Wilson and Cleveland streets as to obscure the section of the frame that numerous telephone lines shack; also revealing that it was numerous telephones were near that numerous telephone lines the scene of the alleged criminal attack. Describe the fact that this is a funny story. The assasin cases will be solved, the funnier anties, we are hoping that these "assasin cases" will be solved, brought to justice, and the hoax exposed through the searchlight of pitched windows. COUNTRY PORK SAUSAGE. Boston The conductor of this column was agreeably surprised by Major Taylor. He prowled the audience and last Saturday with a baggage of sausage and sparrows, fresh from the kitchen, that he will please go to till many more hops; and whenever he disposed to remember us with any part of the hog or hops, he will be issued a de ratione thanks. Thanks, Major. (By The Associated Negro Press.)

Let a widow, with three small children, a mother entered the kitchen content in Albernate county, Virginia, and improved the kitchen at the least improvement, at the least expense. All the improvements in her kitchen cost more than $10,000 for paint. One of the best things she did was to construct this kitchen from a carpenter, out of oldumber found around the place. The rack for stock of supplies is set on the rear end of the table, leaving a sufficient work space at the free end, where the high school place, for the preparation of the breakfast, is located. The remainder of the table behind the rack is used for giving the children a breakfast alone is used. Hanging from the ceiling is a rack for such items, carrying tongs, and so on. Albemarle County (Virginia) Work Table in Farm Kitchen. This was originally a whip hanger in a country store. The table, atool and tins were all painted white. The photograph was taken by the United States Department of Agriculture. Economical Meat Dishes Recommended for Table Here are some economical meat dishes recommended by the United States Department of Agriculture: steak and beef broth, steak and beef stew with peanuts and carcous; beef shank with vegetables; chuck pot roast, port sauce, pork sauce; chicken broth; many people do not know that far-earlier cuts of meat from choice animals are usually much cheaper and more palatable than hindquarter meat; and more or which have not been well fattened. SWEET POTATOES A There Are Various Ways of S (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture) This is a sweet potato year. The United States Department of Agriculture says that in many localities sweet potatoes are white. So this is a good season to have sweet potatoes often on the table. You can have them baked, b fried, mashed or used. Use them, if you like, in pie, much as you use pumpkin seeds. Have them baked, b fried, mashed or used to add to those you have: Candied Sweet Potatoes. Sweet potatoes, uniform in size if possible. Cooked the unpeeled sweet potatoes in boiling water. Ooil and skin are removed. Cut into pieces if the potatoes are large. Put in a greased baking dish large enough for just one layer, not packing too tight. Cut into pieces of corn stirrup, one-quarter cupful of corn stirrup, one-quarter cupful of butter and one-half-cupful of sweet Potatoes With Apples. $2$ sweet potatoes $4$ tablespoons butter $4$ apples.

From half to one cupful of cooked spinach, add the milk and this amount of milk with an amount of milk. A quarter to a half pound of fresh spinach will yield about this quantity when cooked. Add the milk previously or at the time of making the soup, all liquor it should be saved and used with it. Some of the milk is dissolved in the spinach are dissolved in this liqueur. Wash the spinach thoroughly, chop it and put it in a saucepan with one or two cups of milk enough to keep it from scorching until the leaves are wilted and the spinach liquor developed. Salt it lightly. In a large bowl, add the milk and the spinach foul of four. Four a little of the hot mixture and add to the flour and butter and add to the flour and onion, and serve. If you prefer more flavor, mix onion the onion and cook it in the melted butter before adding the spinach. Lifting Laundry Water Makes Wash Day hardier Lifting laundry water in and out of a tub or a sink is hardest of all in many rural homes. The latest publication on home laundry shows how to harden the department of Agriculture contains a hint for reducing this task to a minimum. Pipe the water to the tube by a hose and connect it to the pump, and by all means siphon off the waste water with a hose when ready to empty the tube. To make it easier to connect the hose with water, close the end and invert it, placing one end under the surface and the other under the lower level. Open without removing the shorter end from under the surface of the water. A fanet soldered into the water. A bathnet facilitates it. Curing and Fermentation **Applied to Vegetables** There is a distinction between "curing" and "fermentation" as applied to vegetables by which brine takes the place of refers to the changes which vegetables undergo in brine as a result of camombs by which brine takes the place of changes in cellular structure. Fermentation relates to the action of certain bacteria in changing the sugar and acids and other products. In a weak brine (5 per cent or less) bacteria are not inhibited and the process is moderately strong brine (10 per cent) both processes go on about equally.

Government experts and their supporters are wrong, however, the severe cold weather that already has been experienced by residents of Illinois and New York stores in store which, will be the prelude of a "year without a num Predicts Slim Crops. Herbert Janvin Brown, a long-range weather forecaster, told a gathering of county farm agents here that the prescience and that the fall of snow and the thermometer will be unprecedented during the last half century. He also presided over the winter weather next year, to which he added the ominous forecast that crop production would be simil and that there is a chance that the American farms would be unequal to the national appetite. The weather bureau counters with the statement that Brown doesn't know anything about future weather conditions, and that in this case the weather bureau counters are other meteorologists. Experience has demonstrated that it is not safe, nor is it possible, to look ahead longer weather conditions, and that in this case the best at best is guessing, and not very good guessing at that, according to federal authority. Brown declares that since 1920 he has securely forecast weather a year ahead, and that on the basis of the estimates that have been more reliable than have been those of the Department of Agriculture, which is official guardian Brown bases his weather predictions on ocean currents, which he claims will continue this continent. During the last several years there have been pronounced changes in these currents, the most important of which has been a decrease in the amount of heat from this be agreement that 1927 to be a repetition of 1815, which is and is to have been a "year without a summer" in the crop failure north of Tennessee. Volcanic Activity Needed. A year ago Brown declared that the only phenomena needed to fulfill his forecast was volcanic activity, which, he said, would be a major threat to plains with dust particles and reduce the mRNA heat. He now points out that Vavisius by its recent eruption has been able to clare that he is more convinced than ever that the present winter will be a record-breaker for cold and snow, and that the earth crust, with cold ocean currents and reduced solar heat, will be more likely to be remembered by those who survive it. It is conceded by weather shark that so far this season Brown has had all the “breathes,” the Northern states having had more than a normal amount of meteorite ment forestcaters, however, refuse to concede that the weather of the last few days is a sample of what is in the atmosphere, and they laugh at the suggestion that there will be ice and snow in all the places, as Brown declares will be the case.

VEMEN, an independent country of Arabia, across the lower end of the narrow belt from the of the narrow Red sea from the Italian colony of Eritrea, is the most important sites with Italy. As a result the likelihood is seen of the powerful penetration of western Arabia by Italian influence. This reign, like all other parts of Arabia, was under at least nominal control of the Emir but since it has constituted an imamate, under the rule of the Arab Imam Bahmad menhaqh Bahmad amal ibn Imam Bahmad, who would have important commercial fortune to be one of the few parts of Arabia that are of agricultural importance. It would have important commercial future. The British protectorate of Aden is one of the chief outlets for its Yemen's American famine fans retaliated upon the familiar name of an almost deserted city, Moca, through which the British clutches the streets, where only moques remain intact. Coffee is a major crop of Yemen, but it is reported largely through the trade of Yemen to Adan, port of the British protectorate to the south, which today is a commercial neck of the Red sea. Order coffee in Yemen, however, and you will not repeat the experiment. You will need a cup of coffee for the hunks to the berries, and the brew therefrom has been compared to hot barley water. To the occidental Yemen, the coffee flavor or stimulus. The Yemeni looks elsewhere for a stimulant—to khat. The world knows almost nothing about khat, and there are nearly silent on the subject. Travelers who ought to have observed its uses from heresy and usually from the Arab world, there are even Europeans in the Yemen, whose servants have chewed khat every day of their lives, with no little interest. There are after years of residence they ask: "Why, what is khat?" We never heard of it. Let no Yemeni event in the Arab world happen. The Yemeni Arab—man, woman or child—passes a day if he can it without the aid of at least a few leaves of the Along the steep, terraced slopes of mountains between *This and Mountains* and *Mountains of the khar farmer*.

In Aden the arrival of the khat camel is looked forward to as the market is filled with about noon, the market is filled with roteen, rilling wool.

But out in the streets may be seen humming, bundles of the precious leaves under each arm, their jaws working and their eyes full of a delicious content. You see them again until two o'clock. Contrary to the general opinion, that is never used as a beverage in invariably invaded leaves. The young leaves are the best. They have a sweetness, slightly sartengive a taste, not unpleasant to the European palate, but sweetened, browed, they lose most of their strength and the flavor of the decoration, much like that of grappevine gretter.

Berkeley, Calif.—Have you ever thought of the good qualities of the Negro* was the portent question of the meeting of the recent meeting of the Berkeley Rotary Club, by their chairman, Charles Keel. In the meeting of the Berkeley Chamber of Commerce in "in the past we have been capitalizing their wolf qualities. Why would you need a greater understanding of the points* saked Mr. Keel. "There is need for a greater understanding be before you only misunderstanding which causes any feeling other than friendliness. Berkeley is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet." The differences among them only; there is no fundamental difference between heart between the white colored Brotherhood of Man. The advancement of understanding, good will and international peace among the students and professionals men united in the Rotary ideal of service," the sixth object of the Rotary club, Mr. Keel and his colleagues of the Rotarians from San Francisco, Oakland, Portland and other points, and that their object down meant Negroes Here to Stay. Referring to the idea of some people that the race problem could be settled in the United States colonize in Liberia, Mr. Keelar said, "There are some eleven states that have a steamer load of 114 American states and if they were to leave at the rate of a steamer load of 114 American states, they would leave. This shows the impracticability of the plan. They were brought to America. Moreover, the Negroes are coming from the South into the North," Mr. Keelar continued, "They want more freedom and a better life which they want. They are now becoming worried, the attitude of the Southern is changing and he does not want to leave the working population. Eulogius Berkeley Negroes. Mr. Keelar are many interesting of the colored people in Berkeley and the Comersey survey recently made. This showed that there were 790 Negroes in Berkeley and 279 in Japanese, Chinese number 279 and there is a springing of other oriental countries." "The Negroes coming to Berkeley were the first of the race" declared Mr. Kessler. They go here because nochekery is a superior city, one in the city where they go home, own their own homes here, and fifty per- cent of them have good homes, very durable, and are good cities.

For instance the architecture of Akersi which in the Neck region might be a step in which Berkley might be an example to the whole.* "We have in Berkley a cultured who is making a research into Negro education andlege graduates among them here, and the only reason some of them do not want to work in Berkley extent is that no one will give them anything but common labor to "In the same way we might capitalize on the fine things in Japan life."

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JANUARY 22, 1927 PLENTY ROOM FOR BOTH ORGANIZATIONS HERE! in the newspaper controversy between O. P. DeWalt, president of the Houston branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, on one side, and Rev. S. W. Johnson, chairman of the colored division of the Houston Commission on Inter-Racial Co-operation, and W. I. Shotwell, ex-chairman of the white division of the local commission, on the other side, perhaps it will be well for this editor to explain his position in this matter. Neither The Informer nor its editor has any animus in this matter, as charged recently in a local colored sheet; and we have been fair and consistent by publishing articles from both factions in this Collins controversy. The fact that we may differ or hold our own views regarding the fitness and ability of the colored chairman of the local commission to really represent the intelligent element of our racial group; and, the further fact that he has often been accused of trying to misrepresent this editor (as well as some of our personal and intimate friends) to "de white fokes," would not influence nor actuate us to resort to any underhand trick to "get even" with the white commissioner, the principle the commission and discrediting either the white or colored member. In view of this fact, The Informer has really stultified its editorial conscience in refusing to criticize some of the uncalled for and unwarranted antics and actions of this colored chairman; because this paper realized that any such criticism would be misconstrued and misinterpreted by certain members on the local and state inter-racial commission, and thus we have held our silence, exacerbating painful though it has been at times. This paper has no fuss or scruable to raise with either the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, or the Houston Commission on Inter-Racial Co-operation, per se; for both organizations can function without friction if the leaders will forgo all selfishness and eagerness for the spotlight, and work unanimously. We can not afford to alienate from our cause and support those high-class white citizens of Houston, Texas and the South, who have broken over the barrier of traditional prejudice and narrow-mindedness, and are giving of their means and time to bring about better conditions for our people and to produce and maintain more relations between the two races in this section of the country. To say that the Houston commission has accomplished nothing worthwhile or of note along this and other lines, stamps the person making such assertion as being either too ignorant or narrow-mindedness, and are giving of their means and time to bring about and praise for all they have accomplished along various lines in this community, facts are facts, and as such they can not be denied nor disproved by mere claims or recitals. When Homer, the illusorious and immortal Grecian hard, was still in existence before his fame spread over the then known world, no citizen could resist its product; but after Homer attained fame and renown and passed off the scene of action, at least seven Grecian cities claimed the honor of producing the eminent litterateur. As it was in Homer's day and generation, so it is in ours; and the Luther Collins case seems to be no exception to this general rule. When it was apparent that this colored youth was going to be legally lynched on the most filmsy evidence for an alleged criminal attack upon a young white woman in this city, it was the Houston Association of the National Association for Advancement of Colored People, with O. P. DaWall as president, that came to the race youth's rescue, employed a counsel (Mathis and Mathis), and appealed the case. Colored organizations, churches and individuals donated to this defense fund, contributing over $2,000 to this cause through the channel of the Houston branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and this organization remained on the job with this case from February 27, 1922, to September 3, 1926, when, upon a ruling of the court of criminal appeals that the evidence was insufficient to convict the accused colored youth (the second reversal of the case by this higher court), the criminal The Houston Informer BOOKER T. WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL According to information in possession of the Informer, the Houston board of education has decided to change the name of the "Houston Colored High School" at West Dallas and Frederick streets, Fourth Ward, to the "Booker T. Washington Colored High School," thus honoring the great exponent and founder of vocational education in America. Thus another suggestion of the Informer has been followed, as this paper urged this name for the Fourth Ward school in an editorial under the date of November 7, 1925, employing as a theme "New Name Needed for Negro High School." In that editorial, among other things, we said: With the establishment of the Jack Yates Colored High School in the Third Ward and the bare possibility that the Fifth Ward will be established, the opinion that the board of education should change the name of the Houston Negro High School and designate it in honor of colored Houstonians, if a switch were desired, the board could name the present college board to the "Booker T. Washington High School," since most colleges have the great advocate and apostle of vocational education, and rename the Houston ward school after some outstanding colored Houstonian. While not necessarily claiming all the credit for this move, the Informer is gratified that its original suggestion has finally met with favor at the hands of the local superintendent of public schools and the Houston board of education; and this paper takes pride in its efforts to promote public school authorities for their recent action in this matter. Now if the board will immediately make some tangible and concrete improvements at Washington High School (which are very imperative), they will confer a greater honor upon our lamented students. We will be able to provide a more service to our racial group, our fair city and the social order. In this connection why not change the name of the McGowen School, which will be converted into a high school for Fifth Ward students about January 31, 1927, to the Blackshear High School, and rename the Third Ward elementary school now named in honor of the Blackshear students. We doubt seriously if any Negro educator in the history of Texas inspired and shaped more lives for good than the Dr E. L. Blackshear, for many years principal of Prairie View State Normal and Industrial College, whose body now lies in an unremarkable neighborhood, to rumor life in this community and state some years ago. Dr. Blackshear gave his all—even his life—for the educational training and intellectual development of his race in this state, and a more fitting and lasting honor could not be paid him at this late hour than to name one of the Houston colored high schools after him. Such action by the Houston board of education will meet the unstinted and whole-souled approval and commendation of both races in this city, Texas and the South; for, as an educator, Dr. Blackshear's fame was not hemmed in nor limited by mere geography. His service is cherished in other states of America the same as in Texas. QUALIFYING FOR VOTING PRIVILEGES All Texans, white or colored, who do not pay the poll tax or secure an exemption certificate before midnight of January 31, 1927, will be ineligible to vote in any election during 1927. This applies to female, as well as male, citizens. In view of this fact and the further fact that the major portion of the poll tax money is employed for educational purposes, The Informer sounds its annual warning to our people to qualify as American citizens by paying the poll tax or securing an exemption certificate within the period prescribed by law. While this is an off-year, politically speaking, it is impossible to predict or foretell what may transpire in this city during 1927 where the qualified voters will be asked to cast their ballots either for or against the propositions. There will be a city election in April, when the mayor, four city commissioners and city controller will be elected; and the fact that they were nominated in the democratic primary during last December, should not deter our people from getting ready to vote in the general election of the spring. "There's many a slip betwet the cup and lip," runs an age-old adage, and in this day of strange political upheavals and coalitions, no one can foresee what political developments may take place, even in "Heavenly Houston," during 1927. It is better to be safe than sorry, and to be on the safe side suggests that our people qualify in large numbers for the exercise of their elective franchise rights during this year; and the time is very brief for fulfilling this obligation of citizenship. Since no man or woman is a citizen, from a statutory viewpoint, without a poll tax receipt or exemption certificate obtained before January 31 of the year, let us qualify as citizens by paying our poll tax or securing our exemption certificates now! OPINIONS SECOND GENERATION OF COLLEGE BRED NEGROES. (By DEAN KELLY MILLER) During the Christmas holidays I delivered the annual address before the grand session of the Kappa Alpha Pi fraternity which was held at Howard University. My general theme was, "The Responsibility of the Second Generation." My aim was to present the causal lively discussion and sharp retaliation. My it was intention to present the activities of the situation, and not to indulge laudatory elogiums and meaglingless compliments. Broadly speaking there have been two generations of educated Negroes. For sharpening of differentiation, let us say that they are divided by the content of their lives. The first generation consists of those finishing since that date will represent the second generation. The two generations overlap and combine in many ways. Both comparison and contrast might seem invidious. They are both in the main product of philanthropy and have the electromany complex. They look for help out of the community. The second generation consists of the shadow of the shadow cast by the white men's institutions rather than a place in the sun whereby they cast their own shadow. They both seek places on the white man's pay roll instead of making pay rolls for others to seek. The chief function of the first generation was to demonstrate to the world how to be a philanthropist. The second generation must prove its ability to give it out. Up to nineteen hundred there were probably fewer than one thousand Negro college graduates—now there are ten times that number. Then a Negro college graduate from a Northern university was looked upon with admiration to amentum—how they could be a philanthropist. The second generation must no background and scanty foundation; the second generation had considerable of an educated background and a cultural environment. The new issue is much more thoroughly educated in the letter and technique than the other; but misses much of the power of the "spirit and inspirations." The first generation is now passing away; I am the middle man, and over the years I have been involved in a daysman between the two and lay a profiling upon them both. The call is to the surviving educated men and women of the day, whether of the old or the new generation. They are challenged to meet the requirements of leadership and direction of the vast estate involved in the possibilities of twelve million of their own race and kin. Have they the ability or the disposition to meet this challenge? Let us for convenience divide and divide the estate into three parts: the estate on the estate in its religious, economic, political, social and cultural aspects. In the first place the educated Negro has not yet been able to arouse the enthusiasm of the masses. The tasks which he essays do not in general appeal to the rank and file. Herin lies his greatest imbecility. For his function will remain unfilled until he projects his influence even unto the ranks of the masses. He will be able to humbly bish本 in Christendom. The Jewish elite reaches and impresses every member within the household of Jewry. But the Negro elite stands separated from the mass life of his group by a guilt across which his influence scarcely leaps. The churches and denominations, over which the educated clergy preach, such as the Presbyterian, Episcopalian, Congregational, and the rest do not quicken the spiritual passion of the race. The more popular the church, the more educated and managed by a much less well educated and cultured clergy. The Y. M. C. A, which is under well educated and trained auspices falls utterly to quicken the moral sense of the masses of the young manhood of the race or to arouse general moral enthusiasm. The N. A. E. A. C. P, and the Equal Rights League are offered by the best college equipment within the group, in which they are educated and managed in multitude, and yet they are sustain and no wide popular emotion. Violent denunciation of wrong with holding out hope of deliverance might be supposed to arouse the slave to insurrection and the suppressed to rebellion. And yet so feeble is the response to the appeal of the N. A. E. C. P, and the Equal Rights League, that their annual collections amount to scarcely a half cent apele of the constituency to whose welfare these reform movements are supposed to be aided. The others whose leadership grows out of the masses, corral their members by the hundreds of thousands and collect millions of money. In politics and industry we find the same lack of relationship. It will have to college man to stand off in his impatient allotness and condemn the masses for not to appreciate their exalted profice of service. The masses have no faults merely misfortunes. The educated man and woman must decide some means to accomplish their exalted profice. Otherwise the higher education of the race will be pronounced a failure. Perhaps the greatest exception to the general rule above set forth to be seen in the Negro press. At one time college-bred Negroes spurned even to write for the colored publications, on the ground that they fell so far short that they were unable to appear on their pages. But now the Negro press is coming more and more under the editorship and ownership of college men. Our three most widely read journals, the Chicago Defender, the Baltimore Afr-American and the Pittsburgh Council, are owned and edited by degree men. Negro journals are not only the most effective effecting. The appeal which they often make seems offensive to the type of taste which the editors cultivated in the good old college days. But the masses must be reached and stimulated even at some sacrifice of the stiff orthodox academic standard. When I read the Negro press and look over the pages of the Negro press, I am struck by the moral nature is disposed to revolt. But I am steadied by the thought that the appeal must be made to the masses in such terms as the masses can and will respond to. This is precisely the lesson that the talented tenth must learn. On the whole the Negro press is the greatest voice for righteousness and justice. The Negro press is the greatest voice for the masses of the people. As illustration of my meaning, I had an article in "The Education Review," for December, on "The Higher Education of the Negro at the Cross Roads." I very seriously doubt whether five hundred Negroes in the United States saw or heard of this contribution. On the basis of this evidence, the Negro press, and judge that it reached the eye of three million readers. The elite is now making appeal in artistic form under the guise of the New Negro. This movement should be watched with great interest and not without some apprehension. The chief burden of concern is to reach the white public, rather than the Negro reader. Appeal is too often made to the clowns, who are often used as the clowns to use do for the court. There is a certain neurotic strain that bodes the race little permanent good. Negro authors are writing for white readers. We feel proud to get an article in the white magazine than in the Messenegr, the Crista or Opportunity. It is true that the educated Negro must serve as a middle man between the race. It is he who must take the appeal to Pharah, but he must remember that Pharah gives heed to Moses and the Israelites. He must understand the people whom his pursuits to represent. The educated Negro must first sense and understand with his own race before he can hope to make much impression on the white mind. My space is too limited for full treatment. I promise an early release upon the failure of the college bred Negro to assume his rightful place in commanding the pulps in the great denomination, and thus efficiently administering the great religious estate which our more illiterate fathers bequeathed to. But first I must pay my respects to my good friend, Mr. Robert L. Vann and the Pittburgh Courier, concerning his repeated inquiry about the Negro Sahedir. This next.
