walk of life. He even enjoys freedom Where

restrictions, Even in segregation, signs re-
strict Negroes by emphasizing 'tok

The Price We Must Pay

A friend of ours passed thru the city
last week and paid us visit at our office
After several hours of discussion Of hap
penngs since we last visited, he posed this
question: having studied the State Press
from every angle, news coverage, make up,
circulation editorials and sincerity, why is it
the paper doesn't carry advertisements from
the big merchants that enjoy Negro patron
age?
We were forced to tell him our ex-
perience. We had TO tell him that the lack
of revenue from advertisements from the
big merchants was the price that we had
10 pay for being frank with our readers.
The lack of revenue from advertise
ments is the price that we must pay for our
belief that outmoded southern traditions are
retarding the south's progress and making

Congratulations Are In Order

Congratulations, as well as criticisms,
are in order at times And we like all others,
have our weakness at times. This week well
go all the way with North Little Rocks
chief of police, Pyle 1t isn't any thing great
that the Northsde chief has done, but II
is something out of the ordinary and con-
trary to the trend of things in section
where white supremacy blinds reason.
During a benefit circus performance IN
the chiefs city last week, representative
of this paper was sent to the performance
TO observe the manner in which the per-
formance was to be carried out, since the
paper was a contributor, with previous
assurance that il would be democratic as far
ms the seating arrangements.
When our representative entered, she
was Immediately ushered TO Jim crow sec
tion. She Immediately protested to the
management who Immediately removed her
and her group to decent seats. A police OIL
ficer then entered the case and attempted
TO remove the group back to the Jim crow
section. And exceeded his authority by EN-
Arkansas State press. [volume] (Little Rock, Ark.) 1941-1959, 1951-09-14

phasizing serious trouble if the group fail
ed to comply with his order.
The papers representative left the per
Torrance and went direct to Chief Pyle's
office, and explained the action of the Of
ficer, who was intimidatng the patrons of
the performance
Chief Pyle became the first police chief
known in the deep SOUTH who failed TO all
bi to Negro the excessive use of authority
one of his officers had taken in dealing with
Negroes. But Immediately explained that
the officer was guilty of exceeding his au-
thority And not only did the officer have
no business interfering with the seating
arrangement of the show, but he had no of
fetal business inside.
Chief Pyle instructed the representative
to return and enjoy the show and assured
her that the seating arrangement was left
entirely with the manager.
For this extraordinary act of decency
especially when it infringes upon the thing
most white people hold so dear in the south,
Chief Pyle is all right in our little book.

This Thing Called Freedom

Sunday was set aside in Arkansas as
Freedom Sunday. The day was proclaim
ed by our youthful governor as fitting in
the national and state Crusade for Free
DOM.
We can't put too much emphasis on this
freedom business. It strikes us as something
to Just make conversation and add a little
more activity to complacent people There
might be- but we doubt seriously, If any of
the promoters of the Crusade for Freedom
really want to see freedom in America for
the American people.
We will admit that there is great anX-
iety for freedom on the part of many
people, and there is also a great crusade
against certain people enjoying any of the
freedonl-even during the Crusade for Free
DOM.
Even last week while our youthful gov
ernor was emphasizing the Importance OF
safeguarding freedom to group OF people
who knew nothing about the fundamentals
of freedom by actual experience another
group was in session in one of the eltys
municipal buildings laying the ground work
ror violence on the darker citizens OF A
merican heritage The governor was EN-
nhasizng freedom to the former group ana
the latter group was being urged to vio-
lence if freedom was evidenced. The latter
was led by minister of the gospel which
made US ponder seriously as to whether
politics had more bearing on persons be-
havior than the teachings of Christ

peace more difficult to enjoy.
Since we believe that police brutality,
mob violence segregation, job denial and
the restriction of Negroes to ghettos threat
en- the very foundation upon which America
was built we are considered dangerous, and
a threat to the old way of doing things, and
the American way of life.
There are many Negroes as well as
white people who believe that the old
southern tradition that features second class
citizenship for Negroes is the best system
for all concerned. And for that reason, the
white merchant can very easily make us
pay for our thoughts, for he knows definite
ly that he does not have to change his at
titude to reap a big harvest from the Ne
gro consumer.

This is September. Public schools open

opens about the same time. This is school

Hearst, who despite the fact of being a
millionaire, was wizard in journalism, the
kind that has rocked the u. S. for half
century.
Here is what one writer says in com.
pairing the Hearst journalism to the pro-
blem of this day and age, There is ne point
or deliacy now in arguing. over the career
of Mr. Hearst, who is dead. But Hearst
journalism, whether praeticed by Hearst or

The news of anyone'S death, especially

leaves certain people grief-strickened. But
why should it become so disturbing when an
American soldier is killed on foreign
grounds by foreign police, when un-armed
American soldiers are killed in America by
American police and causes no concern to
