CORRESPONDENCE WHICH
WILL PROVE OF INTEREST
The omission of John Dillard
Crawford’s picture from a recent is
sue of The Bee has caused wide
spread comment The following let
ters will, we believe, throw light
upon the incident.
Council Bluffs. la., March 24. 1920.
Mr. Nels Updike. Omaha. Neb.—Dear
Sir: Enclosed you will find a slip
which was cut from a recent issue
of the Daily News. This, as you will
see is in relation to the graduation
of the Commercial High students. I
was pleased to note the names and
pictures of the entire class in the
World-Herald and Daily News. Did
the World-Herald and the News pro
hibit the Bee from putting all the
graduates in? There were twenty
one in the first two papers I men
tion above, but I could count but
twenty in your paper.
1 didn t know there were lily white
republicans in Omaha The only
place I knew of any was in Texas, anti
I believe they are doing away with
them, even there, as there is not
enough of them. What there are I
guess must have come from tiiere to
Nebraska.
We believe we a right to expect a
high-grade republican paper in this
section, but you know that i~ what
we haven't had. but we had enter
tained high hopes of a decided step
forward when this paper recently
went into your hands. Are we to
be disappointed? Is the Bee to still
continue to inflame race prejudice?
Is it going to fill the minds of our
young folks with hatred and resent
ment over manifest injustice There
are a lot of us that read these pa
pers. Is the Bee going to give ns a
square deal?
Respectfully yours.
W. H. GRAY'.
1522 Avenue A. Council Bluffs, la.
Omaha. March 23. 1920 Mr. W. H.
Gray, 1322 Avenue A, Council Bluffs,
la.—Dear Sir: Tour letter to Mr.
Nelson B. Updike with reference to
the omission of a colored boy s pic
ture from our group of Commercial
High school graduates last Sunday
has been referred to me.
I wish to assure you that this
omission was not due to the fact that
Dillard Crawford was the only col
ored boy In the class. YVe obtained
his picture with the others and sent
them on to the engraving depart
ment. When the "cuts'’ came down
' for use this particular one did not
! print sufficiently well to make the
- features discernible. If we had
1 printed it the features would have
j been nothing but a black smudge,
and there was no time to get a new
"cut."
It frequently happens that there is
a certain iiercentage of cuts that do
not turn out well, but we realize
that’ it was very unfortunate that the
one in this case should be that of the
only colored boy in the group. In
order to make up for the omission
we gave separate attention to Dillard
Crawford in a story appearing on
page IO-C of the same issue of The
Bee. This was all that we could do
under the circumstances.
1 wish to assure you that The Bee
draws no distinctions of color, i be
lieve that 1 have made this clear in a
personal interview with Reverend
John Albert Williams whom you
doubtless know. The policy will be
to accord equally fair treatment to
both while and colored. If at any
time you have reason to doubt that
this intention is carried out in prac
tise i will appreciate it if you will
let me know.
Tours very truly.

Managing Editor.
