The emancipation proclamation
reversed the supreme courts opinion
but could not change public opinion
as conditioned by the social thought
life of slavery. The racial prejudice
between the white and colored
groups is an aftermath of that psy-
chology.
Prejudice does not arise from
basic facts. 1t is fostered by a spe-
cific thought culture. Racial pref
udice is purely an attitude Of the
mind Inter-racial peace, justice
and good will can not obtain in the

EVIDENTLY HE THINKS
HIGHLY OF THE SENATOR

BY J. 5. sadler
The little testimonial Of f. E. B
in The Times Message Center of
Jan. %, is almost a classic. 1t has
motive hidden like the proverbial
ostrich, human interest, feeling
and an abundance of atmosphere.
But 1 wonder if E. E. B. wasn't a
bit nervous and jumpy as he penned
the missive. Nevertheless, the last
paragraph is good
However. if E E. B. and his
friends felt that The Times was so
unwittingly Strengthening the cause
of Senator Arthur Robinson, it is
rather strange that he should voice
a protest.
A brief note of thanks and heart
felt appreciation would have suf-
feed. and he would not have jeop-
ardized his standing with his friends
and the senator: The Times might
discontinue the strengthening pub
ncity. But of course that all de-
pends-upon the senator.
furthermore, most OF my &C
quaintances believe that the man
or organization that tries, because
of some. momentary personal or
party advantage, to block the pro-
gram or retard the progress of the
national administration now; shall,
in the next campaign, need much
strengthening. And I think so my
self.
So, let us all keep an eye on the
editorial page-on every page-of
The Times for other strengthening

woman investigator arrived. Be
cause I had some pretty good
looking furniture left from sixteen
years Of service to my family and
myself and babies did not look
starved, she talked as though it
was not necessary for them to
send me a basket Of food. She
kept asking red tape questions
about my family history which I
thought none of her business.
I told her I was supposed to get
SIS a week through the court but
was unable to get only S., and
that it was hard to feed, clothe
and keep a warm home for my
sick babies on that amount. She
also agreed it was impossible.
I told her all I asked for was
half ton Of coal to keep my babies
warm while sick, assuring her that
when l received my money
through the court I would repay
it.
She asked the name of the pro-
baton officer Of the juvenile court.
I told her Mrs. Shelby. AS she
was leaving she promised my coal
would be out the next day or two
and that she would see Mrs. Shell
by about sending me a basket of
food.
Well here it is nearing a year in
February since I asked this help
and I'm still waiting for my coal
and evidently Mrs. Shelby thought
we could eat boiled chairs and
fried lamps for we have never re-
ceived as much as a loaf of bread
or a lump of coal as yet or any
word from either party.

letter necessitated that some of it
be eliminated.

SHE WANTS POLL TAX
FOR WOMEN, TOO!

BY Woman Voter
Your editorial of the Goth on poll
tax adjustment is good, except
that instead Of it being abolished,
wouldn't it be better to use it for
what the name purports?
If it is to be called poll tax,
there should be a law that every
person (be it man or woman) should
present a poll tax receipt before
he or she is eligible to vote.
In any event, and as your paper
says, there is no doubt but that it
is a fictitious levy upon us and I'M
fair in its present condition.

Morally, it is a vice and wrong.
Socially, it is unjust, vicious and

being absolutely inadequate to

IN this Office, such as personal

by applications for farm and feed
