About This Item
Austin: Harpoon Publishing Company, 1908. Paperback. Good. 40p. Softcover. No separate wrapper. 30 cm. First leaf chipped along edges and moderately browned on recto. Significant vertical crease. Previous owner's name inked at top margin of front cover. Some penciled math calculations at top of one page. J. S. ("K. Lamity") Bonner, the white publisher behind this monthly newspaper/magazine, was a real Texas booster and a white supremicist. The letter contains a lengthy letter from A. J. McCauley, an African American attorney in Dallas. The letter is headlined "Inflexible Law of the Land" and starts on page 6 and ends on page 11. Bonner introduces the letter by saying he had solicited McCauley's ideas on the solution of the "race problem" and asks his readers to give the letter ..."a careful reading ... as this is without doubt the sentiment of the really intelligent and better educated portion of the negro race in the South. At this late date I am unable to comment thereon, but will doubtless do so later on." McCauley professes respect for the Harpoon and its editor, while politely outlining his disagreement with the Harpoon on their coverage of African Americans and making it clear that he favors industrial education for most African Americans and is not a radical agitator.
