Profile OF 4 Hometown Publisher Editor

The main difference between the jobs of the metropoi-
tan publisher, or editor, and his counterpart in the Home
town field, is that the country publishers job is harder.
Getting out a great daily is so complex that it's pub

services and via releases. He reports to no one but him.
self.
This is not meant to be derogatory to big city papers.
They perform their own kind of service: are good ad, news
and entertainment mediums. But it is to make a fair COM
parison of the two great fields: roughly 1900 giants VS..
about 10000 s~rnalltown, small-sized, local newspapers.
While the big fellow reports to no one but himself,
the smal-town publisher reports to every man, woman and
child in his town and in the community his paper serves.
Time was, back in the horse and buggy days, when
country journalism, in many cases, was composed of cracker
barrel gossip, poker, green eve shades, high stools, hand
presses - some natural talent and a whole lot of hard
headed common sense.
But times have changed. Our head man still is a tough
guy (wouldn't be much if he wasn't) but he does it with
a smile on his face usually.
One of the big reasons for his %toughness is that he is
very much the towns watchdog and interpreter of his local
government. He interprets the doings of his local people,
TOO. Actually he's the towns historian.
Also, he is the towns leader. Every worthwhile, local
enterprise begins and ends in his office, or in his brain.
He leads just about every club and local organization. He
heads the drives all of them. He "clothes the poor, visits
the sick and buries the dead"
This new kind of publisher has new kinds of fights
on his hands. While the big brother is fighting unions and
taxes, he, out there is the grass roots, is fighting for Fol

dom to live the wonderful kind of life that only is found
out there in the sticks, where houses are homes, neighbors
are friends and there are trees on every street.
This friendly, knowledgeable man has led it to-, and
advanced with this town, to a new awareness, a new sophis-
tication, a new prosperity
He's still a country boy, but no longer a slave. He's
got a trained, professional staff now. He can get away, not
just to fish but to foreign lands. Every one would be sur
prised, if a survey were taken, to see how many Home
town publishers and editors do just that each year.

Watershed PIonninu
Insurance For Future Americans

A rose by any other name smells
the same to quote a time-worn
phrase.
We were reminded of this when
Governor Ross Barnett told a group
attending the dedication services of
the Ellison Creek watershed at Vaughn
last week that each new watershed
projected planned under Public Law
566 would be "a local undertaking with
federal help not a federal project
with local help.
This is a fine distinction at best.
We fail to see the difference.
Any way you look at it help is
still coming from the federal govern
ment = but Governor Barnett evident
ly feels called upon to make an ex-
PLANTATION every time anything is done
in Mississippi which involves the ex-
penditure of federal funds.
Probably this is because of all the
governors we have ever had, Cat least
within our memory Governor Barnett
talks more about 'local self-govern-
ment."
Tt seems to us it would be much
more feasible to acknowledge freely
that there are some things in which
the state needs federal aid and funds,
projects which rebound to the public
welfare and cannot be accomplished
within the scope of purely local plan
ming and financing - and be thankful
The Lexington advertiser. [volume] (Lexington, Miss.) 1904-1985, 1961-10-12

and grateful that we have q federal
government to come to our assistance
= in tins instance a government with
IA national program dedicated to con-
serving Amerlca's resources for future
generations.
Conservation of our natural re-
sources, especially land and water, is
n OF the most worthwhile fields of
%endeavour in which any local district,
state or nation may engage - and WE
all need to be made aware of it's i'm
portance.
Governor Barnett pointed out the
advantages Of the watershed program
saving: Water is more than a natural
resource, it is a necessity OF life. In
Mississippi we are blessed with good
climate, good soil and a bountiful sup
ply of pure water. These are our great
est natural resources"
Of the 19.150-acre Ellison Creek
watershed project Governor Barnett
rightly said: "This offers a excellent
opportunity for us to make a notable
contribution to the welfare of our state
through conservation and wise use of
land and water"
There is no need to apologize o r
make an elaborate explanation when &C.
cepting federal assistance for watershed
planning, Governor Barnett.
1t is a form of insurance for future
Americans.

1854 RULING Remains Misunderstood In 1861
(Reprinted from The Jackson State Times)

Dean Robert J. Farley of the law
school of Ole Miss said recently that
the Supreme Court did not declare
segregated schools to be illegal. The
Supreme Court stated that no student
could legally be denied admission into
a school because of class, creed or color.
We have repeatedly pointed to this
fact editorially. Yet the U. S. Justice
Department continues to insist that
communities desegregate their schools.
There are some Negroes who pre-
fer schools of their own, in the vicinity
of their homes and taught and SUPER
vised by their own people.
The Justice Department renders a
disservice when it goes beyond the
authority of the U. S. Supreme Court.
What we say here does not apply
to communities where Negroes have
sought to enter white schools. But
again, the law does not declare that,
in communities where single applica-
tions for admission into white schools
are made, the community must make
a wholesale effort to desegregate its
school system.
There is no question but that the
problems of racial conflicts are among
the great problems of this age.
IF anyone should ask as to the most
vital problem of this age we would be
compelled to single out the Communist
conspiracy for world domination. But
as as internal problem, the racial situa-
tion is perhaps our greatest.
Unfortunately this problem is not
The Lexington advertiser. [volume] (Lexington, Miss.) 1904-1985, 1961-10-12

treated with logic. When a community
or a nation faces a vital problem there
is a demand for expressed and applied
craftsmanship. But craftsmanship re-
quires logic and understanding. The
tragedy of the decade is that we cope
with this problem not with understand
ing but with emotionalism.
AS the months and years pass by
we may learn to apply more logic and
less emotionalism to this problem.
In the early days of 1854 Dean
Farley predicted that the U. S. Supreme
Court would uphold the opponents to
segregated schools. Because our peo-
pie were guided by impulses rather than
reason the Ole Miss law school dean
found himself an object of severe criti-
cism. He was not expressing a choice
but an application of law.
One of Dean Farley's grandfathers
was killed at the Battle of Shiloh. His
other grandfather was killed in the
Battle of Gettysburg. His background
is as Southern as the song Dixie" But
predicting a Supreme Court decision
contrary to Southern traditions was re-
garded as hostility to the Southern way
of life.
**
Perhaps with time we can learn
Ito view the racial problem with more
logic and less impulsiveness. When we
do we will discover new avenues with
lesser conflicts. Meanwhile, the leader
ship of both races can remember what
Dean Farley says that the u. S.
Supreme Court has not ruled that volun-
tarily segregated schools are invalid.
