Sen. Mansfield, however, that the final
test should be whether or not a person
has completed a sixth grade education.
We know of many individuals with less
educational background who appear
more able to make sound political deci-
sions than others who have graduated
from college or have even higher de-
grees.
Certainly, though, high voting STAN
dards will tend to create a more COM
petent electorate. One of the basic as
sumptions in the democratic ideology is
that the people who select officials will
be qualified to make %judicious decisions.
1t simply follows that harsher restric-
tons and limitations in regard to those
who may vote, will tend to provide bet
ter government.

BAD WORDS

got off and went to nearby hotels but
the old woman and the little girl. They
just huddled up to each other and didn't
know what to do.
The white bus driver was just as cold
as the next man. And a warm fire and
some hot food would have felt pretty
good. But not as good as helping his be-
wildered passengers.
For W. days the driver made the bus
a warm home for the old woman and
the little child. He kept the heater going
and his voice kind. He let them know he
understood that they had no place else t
60.
People passing wondered about the
bus. Soon they came up tt the door
and inquired about it. When they heard
the story, they went away. And they
came back bringing warm food, good
thick clothing and invitations for the
driver and his passengers to stay in their
homes. They even bought a toy or two
for the little girl.
| guess maybe the NAACP has a
good reason for not hearing about this
kind of good news. They were probably
out %boycotting the bus station when the
whole thing happened.
And its not hard to figure why they'd
keep quiet even if they did hear it. Their
group just wasn't formed for spreading
any good word about the South.
Dad had another saying, too. That
in the end the good shall finally be
known.
l don't think any effort by the NAA
CP would make him change his mind.

My Dad used to tell me that bad news
travels a long way-and that you have to
do a lot of good before folks hear
about it.
| can't remember just what he had in
mind at the time, but | think he must
have been talking about the way some
people talk about the South.
1t might just be all in WHO'S doing
the talking though. Take the NAACP,
for instance. Have you ever heard one
good thing they've had to say about us?
And don't guess you ever will.
| sometimes wonder how they dig up
SO much dirt. And | still can't figure
out how they blame us for being preju-
diced against Negroes when they're so
SO prejudiced against white people.
They claim they're out to help the
Negro. Then why don't they tell him
the truth : the whole story : about the
South?
They say they want to make Ameri-
Ca better. Nobody ever made anything
better by stirring up discomfort and max
ing up stories about things that are
wrong with it. That's just helping ene-
mics like Russia get step higher in the
worlds esteem.
| guess maybe the NAACP turns its
head when good things happen to Ne
groes in the South. Or maybe they just
pretend the good things don't exist.

and her granddaughter being stranded

the bus had to stop in a little town be-
cause of the weather. All the passengers

VOTING RESTRICTIONS
NECESSARY

According to Associated Press reports
last week Senate Democratic Leader
Mike Mansfield of Montana is pushing
a bill to prevent literacy tests from being
used to deny voting rights. Under his
planned legislation, he would make the
completion of six grades in an accredited
school the test of whether a person is
qualified to vote insofar as literacy is
concerned" The present bill is a follow
up of the sentiments contained in Pre-
sident Kennedy's State of the Union
message last month when he said that
the right to vote, for example, should
no longer be arbitrarily denied through
such ubiquitous local devices as literacy
tests and poll taxes"
The problem of voting rights in a sup
poSedly free nation is a difficult one.
We do not by any means agree with

a deadly evil in their embrace
in the case of Mrs. Smith.
She cannot do what she is
Going and not assume full re-
sponsibility for doing SO. While
Mrs. Smith is a gifted editor
it is necessary that an editor
be possessed of principle
above all else, and it has been
thoroughly demonstrated that
she is completely lacking in
this very essential attribute.
In conclusion, we are told
that we ought to accept inte-
grafton because the U. S. SUI
preme Court has made a de-
cision in favor of it. The
authority of Almighty God is
above that of the Supreme
Court. The Holy Scriptures
teach that if the laws of ma
tons do not conform to the
laws of God men ought not
to obey them. We believe that
segregation as practiced in the
South is according to Biblical
teaching. We think that it is
the duty of our citizens to re-
sist indignation in every way
they can without bringing dis
aster upon themselves. They
have faced equally as bad
situations in the past and have
come out On top. Let them
seek the help of the Great Rul-
er of the Universe as they face
these perplexing problems!

An article of interest APP
peared in last weeks Madison
County Herald written by an
outstanding young man, Jerry
G. Tate of Holmes Junior Col
lege. 1t is a fine piece and
we'll worth repeating, on Maj.
Edward Walker and the John
Birch Society. Jerry has this
to say, and | quote, 1.-THE pat
riots See communism every
where about us, just as Pat
rick Henry saw the British.
They See communism and
they want to warn the nation
against it, just as Patrick
Henry rode through the
streets warning that the Red
Coats were coming.
There are just two differ
ences in then and now and
those two are: The enemy this
time is not the British Red
Coats but the Communist
Reds; and the enemy is not
coming for he is already here
The patriots are trying to say
that we have not to fear SO
much the Communists in Rus
STA as to fear the ones here
in America.
And that is what the anti
patriots don't like and don't
want. They don't want the
American people to know that
they have been duped and that
the enemy is already here and
in the government. And that
is why they are calling fine
patriots "hate'' moungers.
They are trying to make the
patriot out as a lunatic and
hate spreader.
They want to discredit him
to thwart his efforts to wake
Holmes County herald., 1962-02-01

The really funny part of
the whole episode was the
fact that Robertson's sister
apparently possessed so lit
tie understanding of politics
that she hadn't caught the
significance of a single bit
of the conversation. After
those irrational and uncalled
for writings of the Ole Miss
editor last week, it seems
that political ignorance
doesn't necessarily reside on
the feminine side of the Ro-
bertson family.

up a sleeping America. They
know that Patrick Henry was
able to rouse the sleeping
folks; and they know that the
present day patriot can, too.
Yes, they know this, and
they are willing to sling any
mud they can to try and stop
him. They critic the John
Birch Society because they
say that it's founder is a
dictator" That is if they
meet with too much success,
Mr.. WEIGH would control the
government, and Robert We'll
en-, leader of the Society is no
more a dictator than John F..
Kennedy. The critics say if
General Edward A. Walker
were elected to office he would
De a dictator, going On the
strength of other military
men who would have gained
control of governments, and
established dictator S h i p S
There's one thing wrong with
this line of reasoning; Edward
A. Walker is no longer in the
Military. He has resigned and
is now a civilian.
But if Mr.. WEIGH is right
about fhe internal Communist
threat to this country, and i
believe he is right. And if the
anti Birches and "anti-WaI-
kers" are right about WEIGH
being a dictator and that Wal
ker would also be one if elect
ed President of the United
States, (as he might well be-
and 1 believe they are wrong.
But if they are not wrong, /
would rather have an Ameri-
can dictator instead of a Com
munist One.''

Having read the letter l.

Herald, by Marvin l.. Wayne
in regard to Hazel Brannon
Smiths Communist activities
with which Will D. Campbell
was connected, l would like to
add a few words.
We are all aware of the
fact that the racial issue in
which Mrs. Smith and Will
Campbell have long been in
volved in is Communist stra-
tegy planned in Moscow for
use against the United States,
and has been officially docu-
mented as such. We know al
SO that Communism in the

is a well documented fact.

pie in Holmes County and in
the State of Mississippi know
that this same Will D. Camp
bell is the author of the in

Lexington, Mississippi
Dear Editor:
We have noted with some
interest the controversy which
is now taking place between
the Citizens Council of Holmes
County community and Mrs.
Hazel Brannon Smith, editor
OF the Lexington Advertiser
and Durant News. Lexington
and Holmes County have no
citizens that stand higher than
State Senator T. M. Williams
and State Representative Will
burn Hooker. They are closely
identified with the affairs of
this community and stand for
whatever will advance it and
make it a better community
to live in. Every intelligent
white person in the South
knows that Southern civiliza-
ton is dependent upon the
strict enforcement of segrega-
ton between the races.
If the civilization of the
South goes down in ruin it
will also carry the civilization
OF the North with it. Unless
this is maintained our civil
cation is certain to fail. Mrs.
Smith enjoys many privileges
and opportunities while resid-
ing in Holmes County. It is
not unreasonable for the peo-
pie OF that community to ex-
pect her to be true and loyal
to their interests. The fact that
she would accept printing con-
tracts to advance the cause
of Indignation indicates that
she is a traitor to the society
in which she lives. The people
of Holmes County are holding
