All in all, the Sepia Miss America
committee plans on entertaining in
the neighborhood of rs sepia beau
ties when the final examinations
are held in June.
AS prerequisite, in addition to
sheer beauty, contestants must

the national winner to enter the

more than 103 damaged.
The storm was likened by many
to a gigantic, death dealing ball,
which bounded from one commun-

spaces between. Others said that it
'roared like in express train" and
was accompanied by heavy rain
and Electrical display.
Mrs. Lena Moon, WORLD news

came down in torrents with hail
heavier and larger than had ever
before fallen in the section. Flying
debris landed in trees at distance
of some two miles from the strick

When giant statement must

His handicap is his conviction and

Republican party that failed him
does. Four-square men are hard

Willkie has lost the Republican

Mississippi And The Recent Decision Of
The United States Supreme Court
IAN EDTTORTAI0
GAN EDITORIAL)

No act in the recent history OF
the United States Supreme Court
respecting the political and social
structure and pattern of the nation
has aroused SO much, and such
widespread comment as the recent
decision of the court, giving the
Negro of the south the right to
vote in the state democratic pri-
marieS.
The widespread comment which
fo lowed the decision came not only
from the states of the south i'm
mediately affected, but from all
the states of the nation.
In observing this comment, it is
notable that there has been that
diversity of opinion, expressed both
editOrially and otherwise. which in
a nation of freedom of speech and
of thought, might well be taken
as the greatest demonstration of
the value and greatness of the
American ideal. This diversity of
opinion has been evident, i'm a
certain degree, however, in every
state particularly in the south,
with the possible exception of our
own state of Mississippi, where the
only public expression has been in
opposition to the opinion of the
court, with only slightly shaded
threats of violence should the Ne
gro of the state seek to follow its
provisions.
That Mississippi has produced
no public diversity of opinion upon
this vastly important issue is evil
dence of the terrible blight that
the race question has cast over
freedom of speech and of thought
in the state, and of the failure to
recognize the world importance
and significance of the decision,
and the vastly important and
honorable role that Mississippi can
play in shaping the new destiny of
mankind, of the United States,
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1944-04-22
BETWEEN THE LINES


his or her constant reference 10
the greatness of the past instead OF
viewing the greatness Of present and
the future It is even SO with
political parties; when they take
their cue from the past, the cor
roding acids of seneScence are
taking their toll. Willkie is today
one of the worlds greatest men
and he becomes greater when he
fails to get the support of his
party. Nothing could make him
bigrer and nothing could make
them smaller than the bare TACT
that they cannot string along with
Willkie
While Willkie had chance at
the Republican nomination, some
of us had rested in the thought
that if the Republicans could by
some stroke of fortune win the
November election, we had In
Willkie the second best man to
Roosevelt. And with Willkie and
Roosevelt heading their party tick
cts, this nation would have been
assured of a great leader in this
gravest of ell national crises.
Eut with Willkie withdrawn the
hope of the country is in Roose-
welt alone. Willkie has paid the
price that all men with vision must
nav sooner or later. Roosevelt thus
becomes his brother in tribulatlon
because he too has been semi
crucifed by grouchy grumbl'ng
Democrats with single track minds
even as Willkie has been deserted
by callous and obtuse Republicans.
That is one of the great handicaps
of democracy; the statesmen are
too often consigned to oblivion
while the dusty Drained rabble-
rouserS run off with the show.
Democracy was designed to be a

and in preserving and extending
modern Christian civilization.
In looking at the decision of the
court it is perhaps necessary to
pass over the whole question of
sectionalism, traditional pattern,
and past history, in order to give
proper consideration to the greater
world force which without doubt,
must have played by far the
greater part i'm influencing the
decision of the court. Unlike the
period when the court first held
the White Democratic Primary
valid. mankind now, throughout
the world has caught the vision of
a new world ideal, and new
hope, made simple in the ideal
code, as expressed by the founder
of Christianity in the sermon on
the Mount. In al things as ye
would that men do unto you, do
We even SO unto them" And il was
in recognition of the fact that
mankind throughout the world has
caught the vision of this new
world ideal and hope, and of the
obvious challenge of destiny, to
the United States, to lead in its
realization, that the court render
ed the decision; perhaps as the
first answer of the nation to the
challenge of destiny.
Mississippi, as among the great
est opponents of those things now
being made obscure by the vision
of new world ideal and hone on
the part of mankind, stands in
the front ranks of those states how
faced with this new question of
destiny. Neither the false issue of
social equality, of mongre ization
of political domination by the Ne
gro Of the state, will stop the for
ward movement of this great new
world force, ideal and hope, nor
change the challenge which destiny
is now offering to the state. as
well as to the nation.

If there ever was such q thing
as a winning loser, then Wendell
Willkie is such in a decisive way
His voluntary withdrawal from the
Republican candidacy is easily the
crUwning event of his life. There
are but few such big things he
will ever have IN opportunity to
do in a lifetime. His withdrawal is
one of the highest compliments
that could be paid great man
Willkie is a great man-in fact
too great for the Republican par
ty. His progressive point of view
has damned him politically with
the hide bound reacECnarieS OF
Republican persuasion.
Willkie is just too big for his
party and herein is he glorif1ed In
the eyes of posterity. He loses the
Republican nomination and wins
the immortal esteem of his be-
loved nation. 1t is far better that
he should associate himself tlom
tie old gang that destroyed Her
bert Hoover with his slippery slo-
gan of rugged individualism.'
The milestone about the neck OF
the Republican party is this same
individualistic theology which if
applied to our present order will
hasten one of the bloodiest revo-
lutions in history. 1t is hard for
the Grand Old Party to face the
stubborn fact that we ere living in
the goth century and not the 10th.
NDIVIDUALISM DEAD
Rugged individualism is dead and
buried beyond hopes Of resur-
rection. Willkie alone of the
major Republican personalities
seems to understand this inescap-
able fact. One CT the best signs
