    the negro press and the image of success: 1920-19391 ronald g. waiters For all the talk of a "New Negro," that period between the first two world wars of this century produced many different Negroes, just some of them "new." Neither in life nor in art was there a single figure in whose image the whole race stood or fell; only in the minds of most Whites could all Blacks be lumped together. Chasms separated W. E. B. DuBois, icy, intellectual and increasingly radical, from Jesse Binga, prosperous banker, philanthropist and Roman Catholic. Both of these had little enough in common with the sharecropper, illiterate and bur­ dened with debt, perhaps dreaming of a North where—rumor had it—a man could make a better living and gain a margin of respect. There was Marcus Garvey, costumes and oratory fantastic, wooing the Black masses with visions of Africa and race glory while Father Divine promised them a bi-racial heaven presided over by a Black god. Yet no history of the time should leave out that apostle of occupational training and booster of business, Robert Russa Moton. And perhaps a place should be made for William S. Braithwaite, an aesthete so anonymously genteel that few of his White readers realized he was Black. These were men very different from Langston Hughes and the other Harlem poets who were finding music in their heritage while rejecting capitalistic America (whose chil­ dren and refugees they were). And, in this confusion of voices, who was there to speak for the broken and degraded like the pitiful old man, born in slavery ninety-two years before, paraded by a Mississippi chap­ ter of the American Legion in front of the national convention of 1923 with a sign identifying him as the "Champeen Chicken Thief of the Con­ federate Army"?2 In this cacaphony, and through these decades of alternate boom and bust, one particular voice retained a consistent message, though condi­ tions might prove the message itself to be inconsistent.

EDiTORIAL Use Of Heroin The laws against the promiscuous sale of Spreading Rapidly morphine and cocaine are leading those with Among Drug drug habits to take up even more dangerous Fiends substances. According to information gathered by the U. S. Department of Agri­ culture, there has been a sudden and very significant increase in the use, by persons with a drug habit, of the little- known bnt very dangerous drug called "heroin." The sales of this drug have recently increased greatly, particularly in those States which have r igid laws preventing the indiscriminate sale of morphine and co­ caine. Investigation of the subject establishes the fact that many drug victims who formerly used morphine and cocaine and who under the new laws find it difficult ·to obtain these substances have begun using heroin, the sale of which is not as yet as care­ fully restricted under Stat e laws. The drug is said to be fully as dangerous as morphine and by many is held to be much worse, for the reason that it occasionally kills the victim outright and its habit is far harder to overcome than the use of the other drugs.

It was largely the Black press that made Blacks fully conscious of the inconsistency between America's war aims to "make the world safe for "demo cracy" and her treatment of this minority at home. The Second World War again increased unrest, suspicion, and dissatisfaction among Blacks. lit stimulated great interest of the Black man in his press and the fact that the depression was just about over made it possible for him to translate this interest into financial support. By the outbreak of the war many Black newspapers had become economically able to send their own corres pondents overseas.
