a group of intellectual visonares, attracted by the theories of Karl Marx formed what they called the | Fabian Society, naming their group after Quntus Fabius the Roman general who defeated Hannibal by biting off segment of his army at time, thus de- stroyng it piece by piece" Here said Dr. Courtney is the program they pro- posed to follow:
 l. Establish school for the training of socialist leaders, writers, speakers, and so forth. g. Never call an idea program socialistic. Talk about pensions, compensations, health insurance, welfare but not socialism. g. Launch the program bit at time. Do not frighten people by showing them the whole program at once 4 Assure the common people that their rights will be protected. Tell them that whatever is
 done will be done for the further well-being of
 the average man, "the little fellow"
 5. Capture the labor unions, and through them
 destroy the Liberal Party. G. Use the Liberal Party to get things going, ind
 then cast it aside. N
 T. Work through schools, churches and clubs
 Never miss a chance to implant the seeds of
 dissatisfaction with the old system and love
 for the
 He continued:
 By 1905 the Fabian Society had grown in unity and power!
 By 1914 the LaDOr Party had representatives In Parliament. By 1923 they placed Ramsay MacDonald the Fabian fair-haired boy, in office Prime Min ister. In 1945 they took completely and have socialized in most unsocial manner.
 Think of it! In 1905, when the Fabians got their program under way in earnest Britain the strong est nation in the world She had everything In forty years, the Fabian Society which never listed more than 4O00 members, became the master of England"
 -.
 Britain today under the Labor government is restless confused, unhapy land The people off now than they during the Their leaders know the bottom is in sight. Spirituality is low and distrust is rampant. Never has England, known such depths. Yet, in the present general election campaign, the Fabians find excuses for the bllnders and waste and offer more golden promises.
 Slowly but surely Engshmen are learning that the socialistic state inefficient and expensive It robs men of liberties, and imposes men burdens too grievous be borne They also realizing that socialstic state cannot operate without penalties and compulsions. Where socialism regns, liberty dies!"
 Space does not allow us to print Dr. Courtney's sermon in full
 What he has to say about the Fabian movements attempt to overthrow traditional government and socialze America, many may have read. However. because we are impressed with his comment and his suggestions to what be done by the people of the country to combat the efforts of the wise young men in Washington to socialize country we will continue that part of his sermon that has to do with the United States another day.
 It will soon be possible to buy pair of absolutely unbreakable glasses No further not to fight.

lucky was characterized by split
tickets last week. Earle C. Glenn
ents, liberal Democrat, won the U.
5. Senatorial nod, and Thurston
B. Morton, COP incumbent, was re-
elected to Congress.
In the city, Judge Charles l..

Senate on the COP Morton
won by $4,000 votes.
Sole Negro candidates, Mrs.
Hortense H. Young, contesting in
her third try for election to the
Louisville board of education, fail
ed to make it. She ran fifth in
field of ten, with three vacancies
to be filled. In 1916, she lost by
1876 votes. This time, the loss was
by $500 votes.

has all the public money and dis
tributes it, it is too much to expect
that group to deal as fairly with
the weak, minority, non participat-
ing group as it deals with it's own"
DEMOCRACY URGED
What is needed is shift from
paternalism to democracy. Negroes
should have full and fair represen-
tation on policy making and adj
ministrative. These would include,
of course, boards and commissions
governing the whole range of pub
lie services. But the need today is
of special urgency in the field of
education.
In county after county over the
South, Federal courts have ruled,
or are being asked to rule that
equal school facilities must be pro-
vided for Negro children without
delay. School boards and other pub
lie officials are anxiously examin-
ing their budgets and making be-
lated starts at Improvement. A
few politicians, more interested in
votes than in progress, are shout
ing defiance at the courts and seek
ing to incite the public to anger.
Other spokesman have taken on the
futile task of justifying and ex-
planning away the inequalities
which are too plain to be denied.
Still others, while deploring exist
ing determinations, deplore even
more the filing of law suits de-
handing correction.
NEGRO FORCED TO COURT
Such projections are neither
justified nor constructive. In view
of the long record of evasion and
inaction, it is hardly surprising
that Negroes are turning with in
creasing frequency to the courts
for the remedy to old injustices.
That is lawful and accepted pro-
cedure in our democracy, and should
not cause dismay or indignation.
On the contrary, it should cause
some honest self examination.
There is every reason to believe
that the Negro plaintiffs, like the
defendants, would prefer less ex-
pensive and more cooperative meth
cd of reaching agreement. The best
way to achieve that is for Negroes
to have voice in the policy MAX
ing which determines the quality
of education children are to re-
ceive.
Much attention is being focused
just now on the attainment of two
equal school systems. Who is to
say what is equal? On past ex-
perience, our only arbiter on that
is the courts. And the briefs pre-
pared for the courts by contend
ing parties inevitably stress the
mathematics of equality: How
many desks, of what. model, at
what cost, on how many square
feet of floor space, for how many
white pupils, as empared with
how many of each Of these for how
many Negroes pupils and ultimate
ly, a court must state a formula
number.
However, true equality is not
static arithmetic 1t is a running
matter. 1t requires trustworth day
to day administration. How can
that be contrived? The only an
swer is representation of all par
ties on the important policy boards.
If we are to have flexibility and
order and understanding in the
conduct of our school system of
school administration which all
concerned can believe in.
In places where boards of educa-
ton are elective rather than APP
pointive, it is up to qualified Negro
persons to seek the office. 1t need

hardly be pointed out that no repre-
sentation can be affective unless it
honestly expresses the feelings of
the group represented. In places
whether boards of education are
appointive, public officials will be
tempted to appoint persons whose
compliance and readiness to please
would make easy agreement. But
such appointments will not accom-
plish their purpose. True agree

JULY 4 CAME

|HarlStOn, while her two comely
daughters stared off into space.
Understood Through A
Sixth Sense
Across the road, Franks 104-
year-old grandmother strained to
hear a good word about her boy
as we explained that the NAACP
attorney, Martin A. Martin, had
filed a petition for clemency for
the seven boys.
We don't think she heard us,
but perhaps through a sixth sense,
she seemed to have understood
that there was still hope for her
Frank who along with three others
of the seven is scheduled to be
executed on July %.
The two brothers involved in
| the case, Howard and James Hari-
ston, 20 and Fl, respectively, had
lived with an aunt, Mrs. Irene
Hodge, who took them in Is years
| ago when their mother died. We
found her sitting on a bench in
| front of her broken-down house
for which she pays 81 a month
for rent.
Maybe if I had had a little
more to give them so that they
could have gone further in school,
maybe this wouldn't have happen
ed" she told us. "But you know,
Pm just a day worker and l don't
make much. The boys stopped
school in the fourth grade to help
me keep things going
Whole Town
lSympathizes
The people in the heart of
town, who weren't celebrating
either, told us thatthe whole town,
white and colored, sympathized
with the boys. They thought the
punishment was considerable
greater than the crime, and they
believed that the governor was
going to commute the sentences.
1t was on the evening of Jan.
8, 1949, that the seven boys are
alleged to have raped Mrs. Rudy
Floyd, a 32-year- old white woman,
who sells second hand clothes, on
the railroad track not far from
their homes. 1t is reported she
said, "You are a good looking
bunch of boys" and suggested
that she needed money to pay her
clothing account.
The boys were arrested, trieo
convicted in May of 1949. Last
March the Supreme Court of APP
peals of Virginia upheld the YER
dict, and on May 10, the U. S
Supreme court refused to review
the case on a writ of c~ertiorari.
Now only Gov. Battle stands be
tween the seven boys and the
electric chair.
So, July 4 came and went, bu'
Martinsville was too sad to cele
brate.
