Editorial
DISPUTE IN THE ISLANDS
IN AN ASSOCIATED Press release datelined Charlotte
Amalie, and carried in the New York Times, attention is
given to rumbIing of political dissatisfaction in the Virgin IS
lands. The storm says the release, @centers on a man named
Alexander and an act Of Congress
HAT THERE IS considerable dissatisfaction has been
apparent for a hong time, but it has now reached the point
where attention is being given to it on the mainland.
THIS PAPER HAS been one Of Governor Alexanders
supporters, calling for understanding and patience. Il is felt
that he would grow to know the people and conditions; and
that through his experience, and the like, he would go slowly
enough to get his sea legs and his bearings. But that has not
been the case.
E IS NO DOUBT that the Governor has done
commendable acts, that in many instances he seems headed
in the right direction, but because Of a blunt, abrupt, and in
instances an almost rude attitude, many here are beginning
to shy away from the man, preferring to detour rather than
subject themselves to embarrassing situations.
THEN, TOO, lei has been considerable concern
about the fact that natives are being side-stepped, and that
the Virgin Islands will become an economic playground for
everybody else. In selecting people to check and advise in
reorganization of the government, no native was given an op-
portunity to serve, or for that matter even considered Yet
people came all the way from Hawaii, at government e1-
pense.
CERTAINLY, WHEN announcements were being,
made that experts On reorganization were being invited
down, we thought that one native, G. James Fleming would
have been among those Invited a graduate Of the University
Of Wisconsin, Fleming has a Ph. D. in Political Science from
the University Of Pennsylvania. Then, too, he was connected
with the latters Institute Of Government. He holds member
ships in a number Of professional and honorary societies.
Certainly, he would have brought a double interest to any
work done in connection with reorganization.

Ideas move forward or human
feet. One of the great ideas of
Christianity is that we are called
to use all the talents with which
we are endowed so as to be and
do all the good we can in life.
That means Christian education.

ministry was considered. AS a
result the Donaldson Academy
was organized on December 6,
1882, in the session house OF
the Fayetteville PRESBYTERIAN

A Clean Town AT Any Expense

Many years ago a town was thought of
as place where one would find two or
houses, one fabulous teller of tall tales y
and several dirt paths used by owners of
horse-drawn buggies.
No one worried about the appearance
of the town since the texture Of the soil
was such that it hid the fluttcring paper,
hoorse refuge, and other PARTICLES of waste
which came its way. People took pride in
their clean dirt streets. :
Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1954-02-03

Today, the horse has been replaced by
the automobile and the horse refuge has
become almost nonresident on our streets :;
however, the horseless riders continue to
make desperate effort to revive the old
custom of littering the street Just to watch
it gradually disappear. In recognizing this
theory of keeping the town clean We would
be forced to tear up the sidewalks, revert
to dirt streets and bring the hGrae-drawn
buggy into prominence again.
If that is all it takes to clean up the
town, then let's be on with the project .

from Hcrshey's remarks that he

reason they didn't want to come

they had elaborated with tie

as Miyamura is concerned, and
he said this on the televisior

Senator Lennon
Reports

WASHINGTON i have been
impressed with the appeals from
your letters both for and against
Senate Joint Resolution1, COM
monty referred to as the Bricker
Amendment. This is a very in
volved Constitutional m a t e T..
Since coming to the Senate last
July Is, l have discussed the pro-
posed amendment and read just
about everything available on tie
have done the same thing. |
haven't felt like jumping up on
the stump and telling you that
] know all the answers about a
thing so important and complex.
/ am still studying it. At the time
this is written, the debate on the
floor of the Senate is hot and
furious. AS one of my friends who
was visiting the gallery during
the debate said, "Alto, l don't see
how a Philadelphia lawyer could
get all the facts for and against
a thing like that in five years of
study-especially with 1867 pages
OF fine print in the testimony be-
fore the Judiciary Committee"
Amendment
Senator Walter F. George of
Georgia has offered a substitute
amendment. Let me say that i
consider him probably the most
outstanding member of the SEN
ate. He has been a member for
80 years, Chairman of the Foreign
Relations Cmmittee and is now
ranking minority member. He is
considered one of the most prom
inent Constitutional lawyers in the
country. Senator Georges substi-
Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1954-02-03

tute amendment seems short and
simple enough. After he intro
duced his amendment, l asked
Senator George to brief me on his
thinning. He did, in detail, and
there were other Senators who
Joined me in listening to his eX-
PLANTATION.
The George Substitute
What Senator George said, with
the earnestness and sincerity of
a scholar of the old school. l shall
never forget. He said that amen
ding the Constitution is serious
business, and that no surplus of
words should be used in a pro
posed amendment. He feels, and
l most certainly agree, that the
Constitution should be the su.
preme law of the land and SUI
preme above everything, including
international agreements. His
amendment says that treaties OF
agreements which conflict with
the Constitution shall not be legal
and that no international agree
ment other than a treaty shall be-
come effective as internal law in
the United States except by act
of Congress. Perhaps by the time
you read this, the issue will have
been settled and my vote recorded
1 favor the George substitute as
middle ground. Many of my col
leagues fear that to insist on the
Bricker amendment all the way
would result in complete defeat
of ali the suggestions and the
George substitute seems to pro.
vide, they say, the safeguard:
necessary.

Politics Is II Really This Bad In Columbus?
victory is achieved?

Have the voters lost sight of the need for
thought in casting their ballots? Are votes
being cast simply because some persons
with selfish motives have made the sug-
gestion or are they weighing the charac-
ter and integrity of the candidates and
sincerely making their choice in an honest
and sincere manner?
Can we continue to hope for real
democracy when God-fearing people with
vision and character simply don't care to
enter political races? And by the same
token, can Columbus County call its gov
eminent a democracy when more than 80
percent of the registered voters stay away
from the polls on election day? Is this the
kind of interest the citizens should show
in their government?
Have situations existed in which regard
less of the appointment to be made or the
candidate elected, neither could be &C
cepted as a really honest, sincere and
qualified individual?
All these allegations and more have
been made many times Soon another cleo
ton will be upon us. The very word poll
tician" has fallen into bad repute through
out the nation. The officials of the nation
at every level should be of the highest
calibre. Those election officials should
have character beyond question. The peo-
pie of Columbus County hold the key to
good government It's their decision at
the polls and their decision at filing time
that makes the difference between good
government and corrupt government.
If we are to have faith in our democracy,
and certainly even with all its faults it is
the best system on earth, then we must
have some officials on every level who
hold their jobs honestly and without VIC
lating a Christian code of ethics. But
those bad eggs in the basket have tainted
the reputation of all who enter this fantaS-
tic game called politics.
It's easy to point to Washington, some
other far away place, or the county next
door and say Look, what sorry bunch of
people they have running their public af-
fairs" It's harder to see corruption on
your own door step than it is on some one
elSe'S.
Now is the time to think about the May
primary. Now is the time for those per-
sons interested in running for public office
to make up their minds. Now is the time
for election officials to make a choice be-
tween honesty and dishonesty. Now is the
time for candidates to vow to win fairly
and honestly or not at all. Now is the time
for integrity not only in America but in
Columbus County.

County in which successful candidates for
public office must first get the go-ahead
sign from political bosses? Must he first
pull a lot of strings and get on the inside
and in the interworkings of Darkroom poll
tics before he has a chance to serve the
people? Has such a system existed here
and throughout the district for years?
Has there been a great deal of horse
trading between various sections of the
county and counties within the district?
Have the political moguls put their heads
together and said 1--WE will see that YOU
get elected to this job if you will dis
courage so and SO from running against
our man from this area?"
Has the time come when a really honest,
sincere individual doesn't care to mix in
the political game because of the shady
aspects of elections? Is democracy really
working when a few precinct bosses can
put their heads together and assure the
election of any man of their choosing?
In the past, have candidates been ap-
proved by the people but counted out by
election officials? Have there been in
stances in which ballot boxes contained
many marked ballots for certain individ-
uals even before the polls were opened?
Have ballot boxes been carried off and
the contents tempered with after the re-
suits were recorded enormously? And
have these ballots then been fixed to cor
respond with the tally sheet reported long
before any count was actually made?
Have Columbus county persons stooped
to the age-old practice of voting persons
long since in the graveyard? Are persons
being voted in every election who didn't
even know they voted? Persons who
didn't bother to go to the polls but later
found the books showed they did?
Have election officials marked ballots
for voters in way contrary to the desire
Of the citizen?
DO we have people who will vote for
any candidate for a few dirty dollars?
And do we have people running for public
office who will pass out those dirty dol
lars for mans vote? Do we have people
IN public office now who have done Just
that?
Do we have candidates who resort to
every half truth they can think of to re-
fleet upon the character of their oppon-
ents in order to win voters support? Do
they run on others dement's rather than
on their own qualifications?
Have we got people voting and support
ing candidates solely because they have
been promised certain jobs or favors if
