from Texas and was sChooled in the army BY
virtue of these two connections he was a
bigot and Negroes would never get break.
On election day, 1852, the diehard Dem

the Eisenhower victory was assured. few
more heroic ones said they'd wait and see
And wait they did. And see they did. Some of
them have openly declared that in twenty
months the Eisenhower administration has
done more for Negroes for all of the
American people than twenty years of
Democratic administration Some of them have
expressed a desire to return to the ranks of
the COP
However, it has been pointed out that
some of the more outspoken ones may be
ashamed to so completely reverse their course.
To these, one COP stalwart offered these
words of encouragement:
Welcome home, prodigal. We will twid-
die our thumbs and avert our eyes to a cloud

Selling Our Way Of Life
BY lauren White

If the tendency toward liberality in some
White Americans continues they will eventu-
lily produce some figures that will compare
avorably with some of the truly great HUI
nanitarians of the past When some of the
brilliant daring, white leaders of today take
he stand for Negro rights as forcefully as
ONE of the aboltionists, the American way
Il life will have more appeal.
No one can minimize the efforts Of those
members Of state legislatures who voted for
TEPC laws. 1t would also be hard to over
estinate the good done by some modern liber-
ais who have taken a stand for rights in the
ace of fierce opposition. Former Presidents
Roosevelt and Truman, along with President
Eisenhower are examples Of farsighted indi-
Eduals who are really selling our way of life
Zach one seems to have gone a little further
han his predecessor in instituting civil rights
However, it is just possible that none Of them

Welcome Home. ProdigaI -. .

Recent newspaper reports indicate that

special interests" Still others were "intel-

hey said to turn Abraham Lincons picture
o the wall. Nobody, but nobody but the Dem
)crats would see the little man through.
Those who had expressed themselves We
iemently in years past about never becoming
Democrats because that party was born and
,red in the solid south, joined the ranks of
he Liberals They gave it all they had for
he next few years and a whole new culture
1as built up in this country around pseudo

forming opinions.
If we had some stalwarts of the calibre
of Benjamin Lundy, Elijah P. Loveioy, Will
liam Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Phillips, the
world would be convinced that some strong
hearted Americans actually believe in democ-
racy Consider the frail and handicapped
Benjamin Lundy He was so opposed to ra-
cial injustice that he sold lucrative business
to devote all of his time to opposing slavery
One winter he walked all the way from Bal
timore, Maryland to Bennington, Vermont to
get help in freeing slaves.
Anyone not familiar with the lives of
Wendell Phillips and William Lloyd Garrison
would do well to get copies of their lives and
learn of their deeds, Men of that calibre help
to give us faith in the goodness of men They
sacrificed wealth, position and friends in or
der to demonstrate their faith in our way of
life
The twentieth century has produced no
leaders of their stature. If a few are devel-
oped, they can do a great deal toward pre-
serving the free world. Let us pray that God
sends us a few.

Clio Shakes
ffEcononliic
Hangover
BY REX THOMAS

CLIO, Ala. R-Clio shook off the
worst of its economic hangover to-
day with curiously mixed feelings
of anger and sympathy toward the
money handler whose recent dis
appearance disclosed a $4,000
shortage in depositors' funds.
Some of the townspeople who at
first were shocked and bitter at
Royal Reynolds adopted a new
attitude of forgiveness after he re-
turned home and offered to sell
everything he owns 10 help make
UP the deficit.
With the money Reynolds hopes
to raise, and the financial sacri-
fees OF his almost blind father
and other kinSmen, a spokesman
said yesterday that the nearly 200
other depositors in the now-defunct
Clio Merchants Exchange probably
will get back IS to 80 cents ON the
dollar.
A mass meeting has been called
for 7:30 tonight to see whether
depositors will agree to take a 10
or Is per cent cut.
The family spokesman, J. S.
jackson ST., estimated that with
the help of relatives, Reynolds
should be able to raise all but
about 5000 of the $164, 900 on de-
post in the privately operated
Merchants Exchange.
Depositors outside the family
will get the biggest pro rata share,
jackson said. Relatives who had
money in the exchange, including
an aunt, Mrs. Vela Mae Reynolds,
will take a smaller proportionate
share.
Meanwhile, townspeople in this
southeast Alabama peanut and
cotton farming community of 800
population voiced their reaction
with only one restraint - they
wouldn't be quoted by name. Only
jackson would talk on the record.
