A Mouthpiece To Speak For The South

A primary need Of the South
today is a nom profit and nom
political organization to present
the Southern viewpoint on states
rights and racial segregation.
AT present, Southern customs
are attacked in platforms Of bo5h
political parties. The South has
not single advocate on he
Supreme Court. which has decided
to ignore decisions Of previous
courts on states rights and segro-
CATION. The South has no maya
zine or newspaper Of national
circulation, and no large book
publishing house.
In a word, the South has no
spokesman at all. other than q
few politicians who speak pri-
marily for themselves rather than
for their people.
The result is that the South is
losing its argument through de-
fault. There is no medium through
which our viewpoint can be made
known nationally.
We are not speaking Of a Ku

The people are the court of last resort.
1t will be remembered that the 18th amend
ment was passed, and some Yeas later the
Dist amendment was passed repeating ii.
Wisely the Constitution sets up three
branches Of government, the executive, the
legislative and the judicial. Checks and bal
anccs in the authority of each Of these
branches were carefully and wisely set
forth. The Constitution guarantees free
dom Of speech, press, assemblage and petit
ton, thereby making the people themselves
the court of last resort. SO, to question any
persons right to criticize a decision of the
court, or to resolve to bring about change
in legal manner, is not only dangerous
but foolish.

spective, so that the facts can be had and
logical decisions made in the best interest

A Mouthpiece to Spe ak for the South

THE editorial from the Charleston. S c.
News and Courier, reprinted on this
page today, points up real need for
Southern leaders to put before the nation
real Southern thinking on such matters as
racially mixed schools,
The need has been present for many
years. 1t existed as far back as 1905. when
the failure of the North to understand
the South, plunged the Nation into the
bloodiest civil war any peoples have ex-
perienced 1t is late, but not too late, be
cause the basic differences in the two areas
will continue for years to come
We went to see "T9bacco Road and
laughed but many Northerners thought it
depicted general conditions in the South.
We went to see Green Pastures and enjoyed
it, and NurthenerS thought it was an al
legorY. We read articles in the Northern
press written by reporters who spent ten
days in the South in which they do not
catch the spirit nor facts of the South We
hear teleyiSion actresses trying to speak
with Southern accent and we are amused.

accentuating the Southern accent until it
sounds ridiculous We see the Northern
press featuring any racial difficulty in the
South, but never see the accounts of race
riots in the North. Organizations depend
ing upon racial appeal for their existence
have come into being to mislead and fan
racial intolerance to the detriment of both
races and the South in general. Religious
liberals sincere, if misdirected are shaking
the foundation of churches, the capstone Of
Southern culture.
Shall we stand by and see all of the in
stitutions of the South shaken from their
foundations: the cordial relations between
the races for over 200 years disrupted; a
new era of dissatisfaction, pickering, dis
trust come into being? Or, will Southern
leader step forward to stem the tide of mis-
understanding. and by calm, intelligent
leadership present this great American
area in the true light of the facts Millions

Why Make II Harder1

II there were no such thing as
hard liquor or any kind Of al
coholic beverages, il everybody
stayed cold sober all the time,
people would have hard enough
time getting control OF themselves
The tongue OF preacher is hard
to tame, just as much as the
tongue of a truck-driver. The
temper of lady may show itself
differently from the temper of
sergeant in the marines, but it's
as hard to control and can do quite
as much harm. But the whole
problem Of self-control is made
more difficult by the use Of liquor.
The Proverbs know this. and say
IT, Now if you were general,
you would not dope your army
with some serum that would make
them stupid and sick. You would
want them at their top form for
every attack. So if you are inter
ested in controlling yourself, you
are being idiotic, you are working
against yourself if you make it
harder by liquor drinking. If it is
easy to say the wrong thing when
sober, it is twice as easy to slip
up when the mind is clouded by
alcohol.

we think the new figures, for October,
are encouraging but they must be watched
over a period of several months at least
before definite trend is established. There
seems to be little doubt, however, that a

the only question is whether it is a perman-
