The Use. Of Jealousy
Southern Pride Smarting Again
Ry HOLMES ALEXANDER

Charleston. S. c. This Is
where the shooting started in our
War Between the. States. with a
volley of Confederate artillery
across the harbor at Fort Sumter
And" my companion said to
me. I'VE feel mighty like startin
somethin' again."
He was fooling. but not much.
Southern pride is smarting over
what is almost universally re-
garded down here as an invasion
Of States Rights by the Supreme
Court. Southern anger is boiling
at the impudence OF the Federal
Government in telling the South
how to manager its internal at
fairs. specifically the public
school system. There won't be any
shooting at Federal garrisons this
time. but other forms of resist
ance are taking shape - and a
good example it for the whole
country, for the whole world. if
the truth be known.
Quite possibly there could be
better cause for this Southern
uprising than school segregation
No doubt there could be one
which would attract more SYM
pathy and understanding in other
parts Of the nation and the
world.

If he was forced to have the car

might possibly be binding upon Federal
judges. Well, we would inquire of him,
what does he prefer in the way of bind
ing" authorities for the court? Is he sug-
costing that when pro-Communst Swed-
ish sociologist named Gunnar Myrdal
speaks up, Mr.. Myrdal has greater right
to bind the court than the people of the
sovereign State of Virginia? Are alien
Socialists to be heard, and the people of
Virginia to be silent?
What is wrong with us anyhow?
There was time when Virginia could
recognize the face of tyranny. We had
strong men in this Commonwealth then,
fearless men, men who loved liberty, men
who would resist usurpation. What has
become of this spirit? How has our heri-
tage been so wasted?
Virginia has an opportunity now to
stand valiantly before the nation, protest
ing palpable abuse of the Constitution
Are we to fritter away this opportunity
in lick-spittle fawning upon the Supreme
Court? Are we to trip and stumble over
petty LOCALITIES, and squander the main
chance?
God giUe us men!
We resist now, or we resist never. We
surrender to the court effective control
over our reserved powers, or we make
fight to preserve these powers. We lie
down, piteous and pusillanimous, or we
make stand. We rely upon what great
men have termed States right to inter-
pose,' or we confess there is no right in a
sovereign people effectively to protect their
most vital institution.
This is the showdown, gentlemen. We
face the transcendent issue directly: Do
we remain union of States, or do we
abandon this basic structure of our coun-
try and become docile subjects of Chief
Justice Warren? Do we stand by the Con-
stitution, or do we submit to judicial usur-
patton?
