ters. The limitation on the Ne
gro'S living space has sometimes
been more severe in the North
than in the South. This denial
of freedom of residence has foS-
tered de facto segregation in
public schools and in other pub
bile facilities, even in states in
which such segregation is legal
ly banned. Accordingly, the New
York City ordinance against dis
elimination in private housing
is measure of vital Importance
to every community in which
large number Of Negroes reside.
Earlier legislation in New York
and elsewhere had outlawed dis
elimination in publicly aided
housing. This has been helpful
but it left the owners of the
vast majority of dwellings free
to refuse to sell or to rent to
persons because of their race,
religion or national origin. The
new law in New York City was
designed to meet this POLLEN.
Other important developments
on the positive side include the
successful Prayer Pilgrimage
which brought some $1,000 per-
sons>to Washington on May II in
a demonstration Of unity in be-
half of civil rights; the continu-
ing desegregation of the schools
which added another $4,000 to
the 100000 Negro school children
who were already attending claS-
ses in deSegregated school SyS-
TENS; the mass refusal of Ne
gro citizens in TuSkegee, Ala
bama, to purchase consumer
goods of local merchants after
city officials had redrawn the
city lines to exclude all but ten
of the city'S 400 registered Ne
gro voters.
Likewise of great significance
was the declaration by "a pro-
testant clergymen in Atlanta
calling for compliance with the
law, preservation of the public
schools, freedom Of speech and
the reopening Of communica-
tions between the races. This
action by the city's leading cler-
gymen indicated the re-emer-
gence of the long silent voice OF
moderation in the South. On the
political front a similar express
sion of moderation may be found
in the municipal election in Lit
tie Rock on Nov. 6. In that elec-
ton only one Of seven pro-seg-
regation candidates was elected
to the city's new Board Of Di-
rectors although the mainten-
ance of segregation was made
the No. issue in the campaign.
Six "moderates" were elected.
On the debit side, persecution
Of the NAACP as an organiza-
ton was continued through the
passage of new laws in Arkansas
and Texas to force IL to disclose
the names and addresses Of it's
members. However, the Texas
law passed by only one vote and
early in the year the legisla-
lures of both Florida and North
Carolina refused to pass such
laws.
Also on the debit side, certain
Southern states, notably Geor-
gfa, Mississippi and Alabama
have announced their intention
to adopt more restrictive tests
for prospective voters so as to
circumvent the new Civil Rights

TRUE STORIES OF
BRAVE OLD DAYS
Gallant Deeds Of By-Gone
Years in The Walter
Raleigh Coastland.

Shortly after the Huron was
wrecked at Mays Head in Novem-
Der, 1877, there occurred wreck
a month later with still greater
loss of life at Currituck Beach,
which was known as one of the
most famous wrecks of the CEN
fury. The metropolis" had set
sail from Philadelphia with 24S
people on board. Three miles south
of Currituck Light she struck the
beach with a loss of more than
100 lives. The departure of the
Metropolis" under Captain Ankers
was quite an event in Philadelphia.
She was the second ship dispatch
ed by P. and T. Collins, bound for
Brazil and carrying machinery for
the building of the Madeira and
Mamores Railroad, with stores for
the subsistence of workmen.
According to the Philadelphia
Nmes, the long wharf of the
Reading Railroad at Willow Street
where the departing steamer lay,
was filled with an immense con-
course of people whose numbers
could only be computed by thou
sands. The majority of them were
Irish men, women and children
assembled to give a long sad good
bye to their husbands, fathers,

brothers and friends who were
about to bury themselves for
eighteen months at least in the
dense and somber forests of the
upper Amazon. The scenes were
such as the quays of Queenstown
and Londonderry witnessed in the
days of half a century ago when
the stalwart sons of the Green
Isle made fearful and tender fare
wells to their friends and relatives
and embarked on the vessels,
which were then about to convey
them to a land much a terra
incognito to them at that day as
the heart of the Southern continent
is to the migrants of the Metro
polls.
SOrrowful Farewells
Continuing, the Philadelphia
Times said: "The sorrowful part
ing of wives and children brought
tears to the eyes of bystanders
unused to the melting mood. One
fine looking woman, the wife of
one of the foremen, after dozen
passionate farewells, finally chung
to her husband with such intense
sorrow that the latter was COM
NJ to remain on the wharf. A
stalwart Irishman clasped to his
heart a fine manly boy-a mother

Life Saving Facilities Inadequate
Charles B. Dickman, first mate,
said: "The lives of OVER 100 men
and two females may be justly
attributed to the culpable negli-
gence and inefficiency of the Life
Saving Station"
The Norfolk papers were very
bitter in commenting on the wreck.
They said:
"The survivors were in ter
rible condition from dysentery,
Commissions, pneumonia. pleurisy,
rheumatism, catarrh, wounds and
sprains. Money was raised by the
people of Norfolk to care for the
survivors, they being all poor who
had no means with which to care
for their destitute conditions. The
old Church of st. Pauls was offer
ed for hospital to take care OF
the wounded. The Cygnet and
Croatan, government essels,
brought the dead and wounded to
Norfolk. Sleeping apartments for
them were maintained in an old
store on Market Street"
The next morning the Norfolk
papers said:
"The Metropolis is a most
thorough wreck. She has gone to
pieces and broken up into kindling
wood. She must have been thor
oughly rotten and never fit to put
out to sea. The only parts of it
that are visible are an iron davit
and a part of the boiler. The beach
is strewn with fragments of the
wreck, in some places piled several
feet high. There was no recovery
of the bodies this morning (Feb.
p. The >rapidity with which the
vessel broke up is striiingy evil
dent from the fact that bar of
railroad iron came ashore on por-
tons of the wreck. The oldest resi-
dents of the beach say that they
have never known more complete
wreck. 1t was criminal to send her
to sea, as the debris shows how
rotten the timbers were. w. A.
Pyner, who has large experience
in breaking up vessels of all kinds,
says he never saw such rottenness,
and the general opinion expressed
is that the lives lost were a sac
rifice to criminal negligence
wholly objectionable"
Terrible Suffering
The natives We're described as
being on the scene in great num-
bers, gathering in the debris while
many bodies were strewn about
them on the beach. Sixty survivors
were kept at the Lighthouse and
fifty at the Currituck Shooting
Club. The Indebtedness and misery
of the rescued, their pitiable
plight and appearance could not be
portrayed. Huddled together, al
most naked, many wounded and

sea boarded the vessel, carrying
away the smoke stack, life boats
engine room doors and the forward
saloon. A large body of water be-
low, the ship was completely un'
manageable. All other hope was
gone other than to drive the YES
sci ashore on that rough and in
hospitable beach. At 6 o'clock the
steamer reached the beach. The
fires were out, the engine had
been set to drive her up on the
beach. The surf was very violent
At 4 o'clock word had been passed
for all hands to prepare themselves
with the life preservers so doubt
full were they that the vessel would
ever reach land.
The report of James Poland says
that although the ship struck the
beach at Gas, no help was seen
until IL am, when a man on
horseback made his appearance on
the beach, waved his hat and
promised assistance.
cat 1890 p.m.," says Mr.. Po-
land, "The life saving crew made
their appearance, but came poorly
prepared to save lives. All the as
sistance they could render was to
get them out of the surf as they
came ashore. Had they come to the
scene of the wreck during the fore
noon, nearly everyone could have
been saved. At Z pm. the ship
broke up completely, throwing al
hands into the sea.
New Graves on the Beach
He said that for three miles il
the neighborhood of the Curritucl
Light Shooting Club the beach was
full of debris. In some parts it was
piled up to a height of four or five
feet. Along this route the beach
was thickly studded with newly
made graves. of the victims of thu
ill fated vessel. They were mark
ed with rude boards, and some
places five and six were buried il
single grave. He said he coulc
not attempt to describe the appear
ance of the beach, in the direc'
vicinity of the wreck. 1t was thu
scene of disaster. 1t was true
realization of shipwreck.
Mr.. Poland said: "We heard &C
counts from the rescuers of van
dalism that was almost hard t.
believe, of ghoulism that was al
most incredible, committed b!
some of the negro residents of thu

In Review

acknowledging by the letters
to the editor, it would appear
that The Montana Republican, Of
fetal publication of the Repubi-
a party in Montana, is either
the voice Of the anh-Eisenhower
element In the party or that the
pro-Eisenhower people are less
inclined to unburden themselves
in print. More probably, the poll
cy is to let everybody have his
say. The presidents popularity
IN his party has declined but it
still Is substantial and dominant
But in reading the December
issue Of The Montana Republican,
/ was surprised at the amount
of anti-Eisenhower pitching. Some
of this gripping was obviously by
implacable Tafites but, aside
from that, there was evidence of
the feeling that some Of the ma
tional administrations policies
are regarded as a perversion Of
traditional Republican principles.
Perhaps il makes little differ
ence what the genesis of this
sourness is. Neither political party
is ever without dissenters in its
ranks. We are speaking now OF
the Republicans, and as to them
it does not mean that the rank
and file will not be reasonably
well united behind the party's
nominees in the 1860 election.
Yet undoubtedly Mr.. Eisenhow-
er's efforts to reshape the party
in the pattern of his Modern
Republicanism has generated seri-
Gus conflict within the party. In
its implications this is not unlike
the split in 1912 which launched
Teddy Roosevelt's Progressive
of Bull Moose party and resulted
in return of the White House to

Unles, Senator c. H. Mahoney
Of Garfield county or someone
like him-and / haven't the
slightest idea who it might be-
is the Republican nominee, / do
not see more than the barest
chance that Leroy Fl. Anderson
will be unseated this year In the
second or eastern congressional
district. Mahoney, being a farmer
Of liberal political tendencies and
prominent in such movements as
REA, would draw from Congress-
man Anderson support on which
ne heavily relies. Ashton Jones of
Broadus, former chairman of the
Republican state central commit
tee, is being mentioned as an as
pirant, but in the present polid-
cal situation he could not defeat
Anderson.
In conformity with a report I
heard several months ago, Orvin
B. Flare of Big Timber, who in
seeking reelection in 1856 lost
to Leroy Anderson, has indicated
that he will file for representa-
tive in the legislature from
Sweet Grass county. This funda-
mental training in politics would
be valuable to him and service
in the legislature would broaden
his statewide acquaintanceship.
I believe Orvin Flare has a
political future. He is able. His
concepts of government are the
highest. He is intellectually hon.
est. He has the courage of his
convictions, and what caused his
defeat in 1856 was the fortnight
expression of his convictions. If
he makes a good record in the
legislature, Orvin Flare will be in
the front rank of prospects in
1860 when the Republicans get
down to the business of selecting
a nominee for governor-or for
the senate seat held by James E.
Murray, in case Gov. j. Hugo
Aronson is not a senatorial candi-
date or declines to run for a
third gubernatorial term.
