This newspaper expected the denomination of Gov Orya
Faubus and magnes that there not Negro editor
where in the country who did not guess likewise.
We do not agree that Faubus election mandate for
continued school segregation The tide against segregation
Is irresistible and will continue until every yestige of caste in
supported institutions in every state in the union will have
vanished.
Faubus deliberately set up the Little Rock that
he would be assured Of election He has admitted this to the
press did bother him that his state and the city Of Little
Rock became subject Of international opprobrum when he
called militia halt the Of nine American
children Negro supported city school, ord
cred open by the federal courts
Mr. Faubus wanted TO break seldom broken precedent
and receive third What did he about dsgacing his
state city in that state his country before the people
Of the wordi
The white people Of his in number Of southern
poisoned by years hate and fear generated by its
system led support Faubus whether they wanted
not He represented white supremacy the only stock in trade
many white souherner has to offer the market Faubus
represented the intelligent patriotic moderate whites
who while little FESTIVE and disturbed by the change Negro
white relations felt that he had for Fubus uphold
the Of che state and show the outside world and he
meddler Arkansas doesn't need any outsde interference"
advice.
Another factor the admitted fact that the majority of the
white people Of any given southern including Arkansas
prefer segregation in their schools because they started it
and maintained way Of life and because they believe
II has not directly cost them anything
They have been willing to push aside their moral con.
to maintain separate bu equally educational fac
ties for Negro children No of education
which northerne fond of urging for the
situation has resulted in better schools much equal schools
for Negroes Every single advance Negro education with the
possible exception of North Carolina
Of suits in the federal courts by organizations like the NAACP
Politicians like Faubus fear school desegregaton II
Negro and white children attend school together politicians
will lose the useful and convenient red flag which has been
utilized for years by Dixie politicians namey The candidate
Vhn thp tt,yht
nigra in his place. la Faubus wins the elections
Politicians like Faubus stated before give the aver
southern white chance show his trace pride
and If education increasing in that section the level
most southern states far below that of other sections the
South matter how and wretched white person may
they have the color system fall back and with which
TO polish their ego,
Gov Faubus clever demogogue He knew what he need
ed to be reelected The white could white sup
remacy against northern medders the NAACP and DaiS,
Bates by supporting him. Every Faubus was vote fo
many uneasy conscences so he reelected.
The Faubus election being hailed indicating the temper
in the South against school indignation and is In view Of th
history Of the Negro struggle South for decent and cana
treatment only the optmscaly felt that certain
southern states would accept school deegregaon willingly
even lawfully as long there politicians like Faubu
around
Some writers claim Faubu is problem for the Democratic
party nationally He may be that but he much more he is
problem which the nation whole of both of the mao
parties must face
He represents defiance of constituted federal government
and law AS long any defy the federal
executive judicial legislative the s. faces real problem
No the American Negro surprised by the renomn,
ton Of Faubus He knows that political demogoguery with hin
and his rights the goat political money in the bank in Arl
anas well other states but he and the white people in hi
nation dedicated to making America the place it was nende
to be- are going to keep fighting there will be no roo
in public office for the orya aubuse in the Southland
elsewhere
