Why Not Negro Police
Now-Mr. Mayor?

Here in Jackson last week 14-year-od Negro girl
picked up in the Negro neighborhood by q white
and raped This the second case of its kind to
happen in Jackson in comparatively short period of
time
The incident last week and an Identical incident of
months ago but still fresh in the minds of the
fathers and mothers who live in the Negro Neighbor-
hood of the city reflects than anything else the
need Tor greater law enforcement understand
ing law enforcement authority to give protection to the
children, particularly the growing daughters of Negro
families.
The incident which happened here last week as we'll
the like incident which happened here several months
ago would be repeated many times, were it not
for the fact that Negro mothers with growing daught
erS remain constantly on the alert, living under the
constant strain of apprehension because the
Negro neighborhoods visited by day and by night
by men who issue bold challenges and often attempt
force their attention upon Negro women.
matter of common knowledge that any intelligent
Samphng of the Negro neighborhood will reveal this
condition goes and because the Negro mother has
the conscious feeling of unsympathetic response
from the white law enforcement officer.
The Negro mother with growing daughters living
life of apprehension hides these conditions
from the police and from the Negro father as part
OF her of duty and responsibility preserve the
family and community peace and welfare
Negro policemen in the Negro neghborhoods of
jackson can be expected to keep watchful and
more sympathetic eye the women of the Negro
Neighborhood; and responsive to its need which he
would understand far better than is possible bv anv
white officer Negro police in the Negro neighborhoods
would also render them less inviting to those marauder
who enter the Negro neghborhoods by day and bv night
Tor the single purpose of preyng upon its grhood and
womanhood
No argument need be entered here in support of
Negro policemen there worth to the whole community
both white and Negro has already been proven in many
cities IN the deep SOUTH including three in Mississippi
The Negro citizens of Jackson are not expected any
more less regards the performance of their duty
from Negro policemen here than is evident in other
Southern cities.
In the right view of the rape of the 14year-od girl
here last week Negro citizens are more Interested in
PhVEN1lON than in punishment and in this same view

Aggressive Leadership Needed
FROM: THE LOUISIANA WEEKLY

Slowly but surely the intelligent White minds of
the South are realizing the truth of Booker T. Wash
lngtons significant observation made some wears ago
namely: The White man not keep the Negro down
without staying down with him.
This was the essence of the talk made bv Frank
Ahgren, Editor Of the Memphis Commercial Appeal at
dinner last week honoring William H Fitznatrick.

Said Mr.. Ahlgren, "The South is now .ripe' for
great industrial expansion provided it has an aggressive
leadership The Souths economic level can only rise
IN rato TO the building up of the group from the bot
tom OF the ladder If but for selfish reasons then we
must give them the opportunity to raise that level and
hep them with the doing thereof
Realistic and keen Visioned in ignoring the usual

LIFE AT A
GLANCE
By RAY LAWRENCE

The State of South Carolina one
of the leaders of the white Supre-
macy" theory, is trying to defend
its policy of racial separation in
public schools by citing legal prin-
ciples established by the Supreme
Court of the United States fifty
years ago II. Will somebody tell
the 'Dixiecrats' that times have
changed and are still changing?
Fifty years ago, nobody hardly
recognized that the Negro with his
conglomeration colors was fit
subject for citizenship, not even in
the North, except a few Jealous
religious pioneers and Missionaries
E. Yes sir, Brother below-the-
mason dixon line, you better start
today, forgetting about what the
High Court done about race equal
ity Fifty years ago.
When a teller named Plessey
brought suit against a Judge who
jailed him, when he was elected
from train in Louisiana when he
refused to go in the car with the
little card marked "Colored". there
hadn't been no thought of FEPC
there hadn't been no World Wars
when Negroes were drafted right
along with whites, to go out in
combat and spill blood for the pre-
servation of our American Way
Of Life" But today, Negroes are
in Korea, and they are making the
same sacrifices as the whites
from all over the United States.
Today we are in competition with
powerful enemy, who is in posi-
tion to capitalize on such argu-
ments such as the Dixiecrats are
putting up today
No, my dear Brothern of the
South, | am afraid the time has
passed when determinations about
what the High Court done back in
1900. The World is moving for
ward, and with it, the thinking of
men-and each year, shows signs
of men growing closer and closer
to realizing all Men are Human,
and the South better fall in line.

Perhaps the need for such a
Workshop is really greater than
lit seems +. Or is it? Anyway
There will be much to learn and
surely the folk on hand to impart
the information through the Work

Thousands are trying to attempt
my God
Telling God what he can do
Yet the Bible tells us to ask nv
God
Ana that goes for me and you.
Paul said men would be lovers of
pleasure
Rather than the lovers of God
on high
Yet they call on God when trouble
comes
Oh! Lord come, here am |.
There are thousands of people in
the church
The 23rd Deuteronomy say Bas-
tard nothing less
Lovers of pleasure claiming they
are a child of God
Where is your Heaven for your
rest?
The world is filled with he wisdom
But the wisdom of God they have
not
The world is lovers of pleasure
But the love of Goa they have
forgot.
Too many bastards in Gods house
And calling a poor little child
the same
Stop claiming God for your father
When you have never been born
again.
Why be lovers of all pleasure
And not lovers of Jesus on high
You spend all your life for pleas
ure
Now what have you when you
die?
Why not call on the Devil
Since you never give God any of
your life
When you see trouble and death
approaching
You yell out for Jesus the son
of Christ.
A fool and education is dangerous
When both applies to man
If they don't have Jesus to lead
them
No where in Gods heaven can
they stand.
If all the bastards were put out
of Gods house
And put the children of God in
the lead
The prayers of the righteous God
would hear them
But a bastard will not take
heed.
The people are calling for the
brains of men
But God is calling for the heart,

Notes
CHICAGO CUBS MAKE
BUNS OF DODGERS

CHICAGO - (ANP) - The
Brooklyn Dodgers, favored to win
the National league pennant,
reared into Chicago last week
laundering home runs, but drift
ed out of the windy City"
quietly as the Chicago Cubs past
ed the mtwo games out of three.
With Big Don Newcombe
starting out on the mound and
nearly 10000 fans in the stands,
the Dodgers powered the Cubs
out of their own park with a
brutal 8 to 4 victory. Newcombe
did not win, however, as he had
to be pulled because of a fourth
inning streak of WildnesS.
In this battle before the sea-
sons largest ladies'. day crowd,
Jackie Robinson and Duke Snid-
er hit single home runs and Gil
Hodges blasted two. The power
blow was Snider's grand slam
four Dagger which won the game.
In the second and third games,
however, the Cubs slaughtered
the Brooklyn nine, IA to 4 and Z
to 0.
During the series Jackie Rob-
inson raised his batting average
to AIT to remain in the National
league lead, but most of his safe
ties were futile as far as Brook
lyn runs were concerned.
Catcher Roy Campanella play
ed in two of the games, but miss
ed the third because catcher
Bruce Edwards was supposed to
be better able to discipline pitch
er Erv Palica.
Besides baseball, the main fea-
ture in this series was that Negro
fans from all over the city flood
ed the subways, street cars and
buses to see Brooklyn play in
Wrigley field.
Jackie Robinson was by far the
most popular player on the field.
Though a number of fans booed
him every time he stepped to the
plate, twice as many applauded
for him.

PEOPLE PLACES THINGS
BY LAWRENCE 9. COOPER

The True Gentleman is the man whose con-
duct proceeds from goodwill and an acute sense
of propriety and whose self-contro is equal to all
emergencies who does not make the poor man
conscious of his poverty, the obscure man of his
obScurity, or any of his inferiority or defor-
nifty; who is himself humbled if necessity compel
him to humble another; who does not flatter
wealth, cringe before power, or boast of his own
possessions achievements who speaks with
frankness, but always with sincerity and sympathy
and whose deed follows his word; who thinks OF
the rights and feelings of others rather than of his
own; who appears well in any company, and who is
at home what he seems abroad-A man with
whom honor is sacred and virtue safe.
