It is worth reading.

In "Utilizing Our Assets" the Courier renews the old aatack on the Aframerican's inditference to sup plying his. own want3. we own bar ber shops, says, the editorial, and we wear overalls ana otner articles of clothing; yet, we produce practically no razors, nor soaps, nor overalls; nor shoe polish. "The American cannot hope to cre ate group economy entirely separate and divorced from the economic uie of the nation," the writer believes, "but he can certainly utilize some of the assets and opportunities much better than he is doing." "Negroes are still carrying the tin cup," complains tne Call; it adds: "Yesterday they carried.it in gnarled and toil bent hands, reaching out from frayed coat sleeve. Today they jingle the cup still, but the hand that holds it has manic ifred nails and the coat sleeve is likely to be hand tailored broadcloth orv imported braid." That is true, of course; but its appeal was further heightened because it came from an slmost perfectly written editorial.

Perhaps one reason why the Defender's "To Mr. Stoddard" so strongly stirred me was that I share fully the views it wpresges.

I have seen from any other Megro pen. Clever and unique is the Airo American's conception of an edi torial in "Senator Binsrham Writes." It. is simply a quotation of a speech the senator was re ported to have made in Honolulu, il in wmcn me genueman irom wn necticut excoriated the nordic for hi3 insolent attitude toward Chinese, Filipinoes, and Hawalians. "We, are happy to note his reaction to race prejudice in Hawaii, the ThHlip pines, and China," adds the Afro Anaericaa in a "postcript," "and in vit? him to note that as well as browns and yellows, are vic tinis of it." In "Annexing Another Colony," the Courier proves itself a sturdy champion of South American republics dominated by the marine corps. bo the American Empire follows its star of destiny, observes the Courier, and the reader is left won dering, at his country's brazen audacity.

Excellent advice is iriven to "ex ceptional Negroes" by the Philadelphia Tribune. The final sentence serves very' well to inuicate the ter.iper of that diisartation "The 'exceptional' Nejjro would render a groac service to himself and his race if, at every opportunity, he. would dispel the myth by telling white folk that he is not aft exception."

1 bs Ueve that if an editorial gets itself talked about it has done as much as it may justly expect to do. Some of those most of those cited, have undoubtedly generated thought, and have thus justified their having been written. We charitably draw the shade on those thousands which were forgotten as soon as read if read. But again the question. How do you know they were forgotten? I do not know.
