" icism from the whispering gallery. *
Less help by blowing or listening to
the clarion of insinuation or immature
charges crowned -by the uncertain
authority- of journalistic scare
heads and artificial date lines. ^ f
' The Negro press will need to bring
forth its greatest period of sanity tocreate
the right impression and inspirt
among the masses respect for
whose who -still deserve it, and faith
and Ambition. This attitude should
apply, as I see it. toward all the re"ported"
misfortunes,.* if we may so
designate them; whether it be the loss
of contrel-of an insurance company,
a bank receivership, a loss of circulation
in a leading mhgazine, or the
much gossipped upheaval in the personnel
of a great weekly. : .
May we be generous also in plucking
the blame on individuals, unless
- rm iinl'"iif pruuf in DOSlUW and in
our hands, particularly, an the.
basis of individual misconduct.
Character is too sacred, reputatioh
too precious, to be mistreated.
"Who steals my purse steals trash,
But he who filches from my good name
Robs me of that which n't enriches him
An<L makes me poor indeed."
