ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS
“First in Service”
It is an accepted fact that the sentiment wielded by the press
does more to influence the public mind than any other force. Un
fortunately, the best minds are not at all times secured to edit a
newspaper; too frequently the most unscrupulous, as well as ignor
ant species of humanity are vested with the responsibility of wield
ing public influence.
A recent advent in the field of journalism is The Hill Herald,
supposedly indorsed by The Tunnel West Club. Recently an attack
was made on a woman who alleged “a Negro” was the assailant.
The editor of The Hill Herald sought to convey his idea of the inci
dent through a lengthy front page story where the assailant was
referred to in three places as ‘‘a burly black brute,” “the brute”
and the “black fiend.” It is yet to be proven that it was a Negro
who made the attack, but the editor sought to paint a picture of
the Negro as the most unworthy of God’s creation, not even being
unbiased enough to mention nationality in a correct manner.
Not being satisfied with showing the culture of a mongrel dog
in the story written, the editor gave a true story of himself in an
editorial on the same event. “Bad niggers had better keep away
from this region hereafter, for there will be some fireworks and
questions will be asked afterwards.” “The Hill Herald does not
believe in mob law, but if the regular means of law enforcement
and protection fails, then it is time to revert to the means and
manner of our frontier days.” To the editor it is time that Amer
ica resort to self-appropriated justice to suspected criminals. The
kind that supplants law and order and replaces anarchy and des
potism. No doubt, if we lived in an absolute monarchy and we
were forced to obey the edicts of a king of the editor’s type, human
life would be worth about one German mark.
The editor is one of the type who incite mobs to do that which
he fears to undertake.
Strange coincidents happen at times. This week a man of The
Hill Herald editors was arranged in police court for stopping two
women on the street and committing a statutory offense before his
forced audience. Strange but true this occurred in the same neigh
borhood that the editor seeks to preserve from neforous charac
ters.
If there is a contemptible specimen of man it is the type that
seeks to engineer base prejudice through the poison pen method.
There is no place in American civilization above the Mason and
Dixon line, especially for the man who advocates “fire works first
and ask questions later.” Neither have we retrograded to the
frontier days. Speaking of Bolshevism in Russia, the anarchist of
Italy and the “Red” of America, none can be worse than the preju
diced, inconsistent, biased editors, who dissiminate propaganda
through their paper against an individual people. That sort of
thing may be traditional in some sections of the United States,
but Minnesota's reputation for fairness, regardless of color or
creed, cannot and must not be besmirched by the type of “kill and
then investigate” editor who wields the pen for The Hill Herald.
“The greatest trouble of mankind today is that marriage no
longer means anything; divorce means everything. Many women
consider marriage merely an adventure and if they don’t like it,
there’s the back door—divorce—and that is exemplified in that
case, in which the plaintiff has made charges which are not true.”
These words were uttered in court room by a well known attorney
Wednesday. No truer statement could have been uttered. The
fault cannot be charged against the wife solely, but the husband
contributes much toward domestic difficulties. Marriage does not
hold the sacrifices that once prevailed. Both the modem wife and
husband seem to consider the vows as mere means of future popu
larity. There are no intentions of keeping them even at the time
they are spoken.
Who knows the causes of the present day conditions and who
can discover a solution to make the wheels of the divorce court
move more slowly ? Does the fault lie within Hie home or does out
side influence cause the inevitable break ? The divorcee ring is more
the band ring. There is a distinction that goes with
the ex which appears to salve the conscience of those who find
single blessedness is bitter only after the marriage vows have been
spoken. Does the husband expect too much from the wife or visa
versa ? Or do we live in an age where girls wed to do as they please
and boys marry for the sake of doing so? This problem is being
widely discussed as never before. The solving of the present day
tendencies to seek companionship with the third party by the mar
ried group. t
The outside friend” is usually more in demand than the hus
band. On the other hand, the gay butterfly frequently supplants
the wife. Whether there is wrong or right in divorce, there is a
present day popularity in divorce that this country has never
equaled. Divorce, the back door out of marriage, is the toll exacted
from Dan Cupid.
