Confessions of a BOOkWOrm

When very young the great idea
On Monday Wednesday, Friday,
Was reading all such books as Heidi,
Thus making my small mind quite tidy.
But Tuesdays, Thursdays set folks fretung'
For spent them police azetting.
l found had a very chilly dad,
When proclaimed myself averse to Had,
Or wondered what could anybody see
In hours on hours of the Odyssey,
/ read ibrettos like Gotterdammerung,
But much preferred Boccaccio's Decameron.
From kindergarten till l grew too big,
Each week the dissertation on roast pig,
Lambs Shakespeare never found me gutton,
Macbeth and Hamlet were like old mutton,
Until by chance l had not once anticipated,
l stumbled on a volume that was unexpurgated.
1 read reluctantly of Sleepy Hollow,
It's Legend was more than could swallow,
1 read of Galahad and the holy grail,
And thought it much ado about little pail,
Folks thought me naughty yet normal child,
Pm glad wasn't caught reading Oscar Wilde!

possible. They have not had the
opportunity to publicly express
themselves as they would do if con-
ditions were different. The young
men of the South are absent in the
armed forces.
For fear that this situation
may cause those in other sections
to be under some false impression,
let me say that the people of South
Carolina feel as keenly on this sub
ject as they ever have during the
years that have passed. In my
opinion these agitators are making
a serious mistake, when, during the
stress of war, they seek by law to
abrogate customs which are as old
and deep-rooted in the South as our
civilization itself"
There is concrete reason why the
Negro should lean toward a strong
government in Washington. With
the crackers in this temper as ex-
pressed by Maybank & Co., it will
have to be federal agencies, troops
if necessary, to enforce the law
and allow the Negro to vote in the
South as ruled by the Supreme
Court. The Negro has progressed
more under liberal federal gov
eminent than in any other way. 1t
will take strong man in the White
House to order troops into the
South to make the crackers obey
the law. The governors of the
various states show their true
colors by more or less thumbing
their noses at the Supreme Court.
In this way they openly invite the
country to another civil war over
the Negro problems.
What Maybank was crying about
when he said that "the young men
of the South are absent in the
armed forces" might be the fact
that the lynching manpower of
his beloved South Carolina isn't
home to help "take care" of the
"uppity hrs" who are getting
beside themselves because of what
those damned fool Yankees up
North are putting into their black
heads"
The creaking legs of Maybank,
Cotton Ed Smith and others from
down that way won't carry them
to those old-fashioned southern
frying" parties of yore, so now
there is much weeping and gnash-
ing of the teeth because of the turn
of fortune that brought about war
at a time when they need their
"young 'uns" most at home. If
there were no war, no Hitler, no
TOTO, Maybank possibly means to
say that the young men of the
South now learning something
about Democracy at first hand in
the foxholes on the other side,
would be home to help enforce
States rights"
That is why 1 think it is so i'm
portant for Negroes not to be be-
guiled by all this beautiful talk
about states rights, free enterprise,
and so on. The only worthwhile
progress we have made has been
through the benevolence of such
Presidents as Lincoln, Teddy Roose-
welt and Franklin D. Roosevelt. And
the principal trouble with Franklin
Roosevelt is that he has allowed
the South to tie his hands and thus
nullify the things he set out to
do. With Roosevelt playing ball
with the cracker South which de-
mands and obtains the right to
handle Negroes the way they want
to handle them under states rights
programs, it is up to US to see
that the next administration in
Washington is strong enough to
overcome the viciousness of the
states rights crowd and grant the

States Rights Means the Right of

Do With Its Negro Citizens

question, and in doing so, have ex-
posed actually what states rights
are all about. With them giving the
Interpretation, it follows that
states rights in the South means
the right to do what the whites
want to do with the Negro popu-
lation.
Senator Maybank, the Democrat
who misrepresents South Carolina,
declared to his Senate confreres
the other week that regardless of
any Supreme Court decision and
any laws that may be passed by
Congress, we of the South will
maintain our political and social
institutions as we believe to be in
the best interest of our people"
That statement shows the temper
of the cracker bloc in Congress over
the anti-poll tax bill which is due
in the Senate, Maybank said that
the Supreme Court could not have
picked a worse time" to render its
decision allowing Negroes the priv
lege and right of voting in Texas
primaries and thus stir up this
subject"
Said Maybank, keen advocate of
states rights, THE white people of
the South will not accept these in
references. We are proud of our
section. We know what is best for
the white people and the colored
people. We are going to treat
the Negro fairly, but in doing
so we do not intend for him
to take over our election system
or attend our white schools. {.
These agitators speaking of those
who are fighting for passage of
the anti-poll tax bill and other is
sues involving the South have con-
tinued to work to upset our election
laws and our customs of segrega-
ton, which have proved mutually
satisfactory, to a vast majority
of both races in South Carolina.
The people of the South are wor-
ried about the war and are using
their efforts to aid in every way

Good News to Them, Not Rivals

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 5.-There
was Joy among Minnesota football

1t. Col. Bernie Bierman, creator Of

thing akin to apprehension in other

In the period between 1882. when
Bierman took over as head coach

way. They won five Big Ten titles,
shared another and five times were
rated tops In the Nation.

called to active duty, some OF them
