GEORGIA'S GOVERNOR GENE" TALMADGE was
hoggng the news with his ywhte policy until Edward
d. Bridges cOored Atantan along and told of his
speed incubator Bridges wanted to raise chickens but
he couldn't afford incubator and there wasn't setting
hen in sight So he decided to do things the easy way
Brother Bridges bought 10 eggs from farmer and set them
pushcar in the his front yard Two days later.
Bridges said he counted 10 chicks.
BRIDGES AND TALMADGE have something in COM
mon They believe securing quick results matter how

only Inundated the white men but he hurt the feelings OF

of some coored Aanans don't think it takes whole
week to register an official protest with the Governor Three

Governor should receive BY the time Brother Iamadge
gets those resolutions he'll be thinking OF firing colored

is by the majority of opinion of the
white people of Georgia.
But the real and crucial question
comes: Did Dean Cooking state his
ideals as a matter of present policy
or as a matter to be aimed at in
the future? Very unfortunately in
his defense of his position, Dean
Cooking did not say frankly exactly
what his idea was concerning the
future of race segregation in Edu-
cation, but simply insisted that he
had not advocated any such pres
ent program. 1t would have been
much broader educational state
manship on his part if he had said
frankly: Yes, I believe that even
tually and gradually, race Segrega-
ton in education must disappear
from Southern schools. do not be-
lieve that such a program is prac-
tical now and I am not advocating,
nor have I advocated, any such
immediate change" But Dean
Cooking did not admit this. He left
those who were sympathetic with
such view entirely in the air and
rested his case upon a question of
verbal veracity as to exactly what
he had said in a certain statement.
The point that must be insisted
upon is that those people who be-
lieve that race segregation in edu-
cation as well as in other matters
must eventually disappear from the
South and from the nation, if we
are ever to have democracy, have a
right to their opinion and a right
to express it in Georgia and out.
That, on the other hand, the per-
sons who are backing and support
ing Governor Talmadge have an
equal right to express their opin-
ions and to follow those opinions by
legitimate and lawful action.
What really is happening, how
ever, is the attempt to deny any
person, even a dean of the Uni
versity of Georgia, any right to
express an opinion which he holds,
simply because that opinion is
opposed to the majority of opinion
of white folk of the state. There
lies the kernel of intolerance and
despotism. The white people of
Georgia are not being educated by
their leaders in modern social
thought. Once the issue was drawn
and the scurrying of white Georgia
leaders was pitiable. Not only did
Dean Cooking himself refuse frank
ly to state his beliefs, but the City
Superintendent of Atlanta Schools
made the misleading statement that
white children were superior to
Negro children in intelligence; and
friends of Cooking defended him as
a man born of a Democratic
family in a Republican state Of
parents who sympathized with the
South when it was fighting for

IF A ROSE by another name

messy" by other scientific name.
When all is said and done, the
situation in which we find our
selves amounts to mess or super
mess. International morality collops-
ed at Munich and eXpediency be-
came the motivation principle there
after. Today the voice of right is
huShed or muffled, and only the
voice of might can be heard in the
council of the nations. We call it
social chaos and economic uncer-
tainty; we call it cultural lag and
| biological maladjustment; we call
it a conflict of cultures and the
evolution of ideologies. But it all,
in fine, amounts to a great big
super mess
Civilization like a runaway horse
is rushing mankind on to some in
evitable doom. We have built great
laboratories, mighty universities
and temples of worship have topped
our landed peaks; but like the
house built upon the sands, we are
threatened with destruction. It
seems to matter not that we have
tanned the streaking lightnings, and
muffled the grumbling thunders;
the fact remains, we are face to
face with circumstances that are
overwhelming. Our mightieSt
minds are baffled and our confus-
ion is becoming more confounded.
Like the weary disciples on wind

capital are gambling while the
fate of the nation hangs in the
balance.
Politicians are likewise gambling

Some weeks ago we released an ar

Negro race; but it could in truth
be applied to the U. S. which is

and the dollar almighty" are
plainly too large a part of the
motivation of our so-called demo-

weaknesses of the democratic
theology.
The only hope is that the door

ATLANTA, Ga. (SNS)-
Editor, Atlanta WORLD: In spite
of the many straightforward and
interesting statements made by va
rious persons concerning the recent
dismissal of the Dean of the Uni
versity of Georgia, still feel that
the logical and basic facts have
not yet been sufficiently emphaSiz'
ed
The Dean of the University of
Georgia apparently stated some
time last year that he would like
to see a training school near the
University attended by black and
white children and taught by black
and white professors. If this is
what Dean Cooking thought and
said, it was in accordance with the
best and wisest thought of the ma
ton and of intelligent persons both
North and South. Everybody
knows that the present separation
of children in school by race can
not continue forever; that gradual
ly and in accordance with the de-
velopment of public opinion, the
unbearable cost of double system
of schools with all the waste of du-
plication and with all the danger of
separate class training must cease.
The real question is: When can
this take place? 1t goes without
saying, and there the Governor of
the State, the Dean of the Univer-
sity and you and I are all agreed,
that such development must
take place gradually and could not
be realized Immediately in the
present state of public opinion and
with the deep and ingrained pre-
judices of both the white folk and
the colored folk of Georgia. But
that 1t is an ideal which could be
realized at least in training schools
and graduate departments some
time during the next fifty years is
certainly true.
If now Dean Cooking stated this
as an ideal to be worked toward, he
not only had right to his opinion
but that opinion is shared by every
person of intelligence who knows
and has studied the South whether
Southern or Northern born. Not
simply the Rosenwald Fund but the
General Education Board and the
great educational experts of the
country agree in this.
Governor Talmadge, on the other
hand, speaking for the rank and
file of the white people of Georgia
has a right to oppose this ideal
and to say that they will never so
long as they live consent to any
such breaking-down of racial lines.
Moreover, the Governor has, in
his Official capacity, right to so
rearrange the Board of Regents of
the University as to enforce his
opinion backed rs undoubtedly it

and not really seriously abridged by practice.
