Commissioner d. L. doc" Luckey, whose election for
the first time in the recent runoff makes him the
member of the City Administration.
There number of important issues in the
recent election of which escaped the attention and
consideration of the Jackson Negro Voter but by far the
most important issue in the minds Of the Negro voters
OF the city is the appointment of Negro Policemen to
serve on the jackson Police Force.
What ever may be- or may have been the other
arguments and question raised concerning the desire of
the intelligent Negro Citizens, the Negro Voter for the
appointment of Negro policemen to the Jackson Police
Force, the real motive behind the desire is the improve
ment of law enforcement and the development of greater
cooperation WITH and wholesome respect for the
law enforcement authority in the Negro Community.
That this is the immediate result of the appointment
of Negro policemen in the light of studios made in town
after town. where Negro policemen have been appointed
including, Guport, Indanola and Greenville in Mssis-
sipp is fact that need longer be the subject of dis
cussOn and debate.
In the past with respect to the matter of the appoint
ment OF Negro policemen here there have been certain
drawbacks, none, however that preventive

little committees and pass resolutions and make public
statements urging the appointment of Negro Policemen

Most Of us want to earn living. We come from

Toward Full Citizenship
(From The St. Louis Globe Democracy

The convention in ST. Louis of the National Associa
ton for the Advancement of Coored People focuses new
attention upon the struggle of Negro leaders and thought
full whites to achieve for all the complete rights of
democracy Or, the NAACP's executive secretary
Walter White put it, to wipe out secondcass citizen
ship Great progress in this field of human relations has
been made in the last decade and half Much remains
to be done, and it will be done
Mr.. White cited in his convention talk notable adj
vances in obtaining equal educational opportunities for
all racial groups. He is quite right Many schools have
chopped down barriers of prejudice admitted Negroes to
classrooms and found the transition was made without
difficulty Especially has this been true in colleges and
universities.
The effort to eliminate educational segregation is
not triumphant but it is going forward 1t is not easy
to Danish deep bias no matter how undemocratc how
uneconomica and how unreasonable it may be- Patience
is required and steady effort the part of the whole
people
Equal opportunities for Negroes and all races are
especially needed in schools in job fields shelter and
of course at the polls That does not argue tolerance #
argues realism simple morality and elemental freedom
to which pay more than lip service in America
There is no duty to promote any race There is a
social obligation to give every the chance elevate
itself That also involves realization of racial groups
that they merit special considerations but must show
capabilities and compete for the advantages they want
sons in business in civil and social spheres They are
entitled only to equal opportunities.
These they do not have in full measure certainly
They should have them and they will Such is good
moral fight If it is backed by intelligence good leader
ship and perspective another 10 years should see the
fortunes of Negroes and other race mnorites raised to
much more equitable plane.

IF YOU WILL BELIEVE 1T"
Man and self is on a downward
road
Self tells you things are going well
Self is an agent for the Devil
To fool all he can to He'll
Self and Mans way will not do
Mans way is way of sorrow and
woe
Tho Jesus is the only way
That will lead you the right way
to go.
Jesus tells us all, 81 am the Way
To that eteranal happy life on
high"
The way of Jesus is eternal life
1t will save you when you die.
Self and Mans way has wrecked
Gods house
Because Jesus is the right way
Man will tell you his way is right
And is leading the people astray.
If you read Gods word, believe it
all
Stop using self for your guide
Joining the Church and claiming
Christ
Just to have you a place to hide.
When | gave up the world
And take a stand for Jesus
My faith and hope in Jesus
Is to live Christian upright life.
My way and self is no good to me
Tho Jesus way is my defense
Jesus said that | am the way and
| have got good common sense.
You claim this a modern day
1t is a day of sorrow and sin
Women are wearing Pants today
Just like all of the men.
If you claim my God for your
father
Be sure you have been born again,
Born of the spirit of living God
And free from all of your sins.
If you will believe the truth today
And follow Jesus Christ's way
God will bless your daily walks
And in all of your life will pay.
