The Republican party in Missis-
sippi has a candidate for governor, the
first since Reconstruction and a cogent
reminder of the changing times.
Rubel Phillips of Jackson, a for
mer Public Service Commissioner of
Mississippi, is the man announcing his
candidacy. He is 81 years old, a prac-
ticing attorney and a former chan
Gerry clerk of Alcorn County of which
he is a native. He is also a very at
t~ractive young man.
Barring the unforeseen possibility
of another COP candidate for the post,
Mr. Phillips nam will appear on the
ballot in the November general cleo
ton.
In the event another candidate
does appear, then of course there will
be a Republican primary to determine
the party's nominee.
Otherwise there will be. a Demo-
cratic primary election in August, in
all probability a Second Democratic
Primary to determine the Democratic
nominees for each office, and then the
real election in November.
This means most Mississippians.
being Democrats, in name if not in
fact, will have to go to the polls three
times to elect their choice.
It also poses some interesting
questions which should be settled well

nate against a man because
of his color or his creed is
contrary to the will Of God.
Forced segregation is wrong.
We should voluntarily desc
gregate all public facilities.
We should treat men not on
the basis of color but on the
basis of conduct.
"In the light of Christian
principle, there can be no col
or bar in a Christian church.
1t is not sinful for white peo-
pie to prefer to worship with
white people or for colored
people to prefer to worship
with colored people. The sin
comes when a church seeks
to erect a color bar before the
Cross of Christ. AS Christians,
we cannot say to anyone,
You cannot come into the
house of Cod No Conference,
no preacher, no official board
can put UP a color bar in the
church. That matter is deter
mined by the nature of Chris
tianity which is an inclusive
fellowship of those who seek
the Lord. The house of God is
a house of prayer for all peo-
Pile - black and white.
when a person seeks mem
bership in the church he is
rot asked about the color of
his skin. He is asked about
his faith in God as revealed
in Christ. Salvation is not by
color but bv faith. There can
be no color bar in a Christian
institution.
Race prejudice is a denial
of Christian brotherhood. Any
kind of prejudice = racial or
religious - weakens the ma
ton by dividing it into hostile
groups. 1t sets race against
race, church against church.
This plays into the hands of
the Communists and makes it
easier for them to do their
diabolical work.
Every American citizen,
black or white. is entitled to
the best educational opportu-
ritv the state affords. In our
STRUGGLE with Communism we
need to offer all our neople
the best nossible train;no:

mo doubt there are some
nlaces where laymen expect
the preacher to echo their
opinions. The freedom of the
riilpit must be maintained.
The preacher must get his
messaee not from the COM
munitv but from Christ. He
must state his convictions and
allow others to disagree. I'm
sure that many of my people
disagree with things I say.
But they want me to declare

Republicans Should Bypass Democratic Primaries

in advance of the primaries. The next
special session of the Legislature, ex-
pected in February, should be called
to consider this matter, along with
other business. For instance:
Will state Republicans be able to
participate in the Democratic Primary
in August and help select the Demo-
cratic nominee for governor, then 60
to the polls in November and vote for
the Republican candidate
This does not seem to us to be
either fair or feasible.
We believe that people who intend
to support the Republican choice for
governor should not be able to partici-
pate in the selection of the Democra-
tic nominee. AS a matter of principle,
they should refrain from casting their
ballot for any Democrat who has a Re-
publican opponent, if they intend to
support the Republican candidate.
Better still, and to eliminate all
doubt on the score, we feel that Re
publicans should refrain from or be
prohibited by law from participating
in the Democratic primaries.
This offers the only fair way Of
having q real two-party political sys-
tenn in Mississippi
And this idea we have long sup
ported, as all our readers know.

New Drug Treatment
For Dread Disease

Medical history has seen a
quiet revolution in the last
10 years, a radical change in
treatment for one of the
worlds most dreaded killers:
tuberculosis.
Reason for this medical
near-miracle is the discovery
of three life-saving anti
tuberculosis drugs called is
oniazid, streptomycin and
PAS. Given singly or more
often in combination, these
drugs have cut the tubercu-
losis death rate in the United
States. Also, if used widely
and correctly, they offer a
hitherto almost undreamed-of
promise: eventual eradication
of a disease that has devasta-
ted mankind for centuries.
AS ? result Of these drugs,
the AVERAGE length of hospi-
talization has been shortened,
patients can get out of bed
and move around a great deal
more than formerly, and post
hospital care and rehabilita-
ton have taken on a new and
different importance.
Despite this modern turn
for the better, the victory over
tuberculosis remains a long
wav off. Because the disease
is infectious and the symp-
toms are sometimes not ap-
parent. unknown and I'M

est threat.

from the HOSPITAL can live

to their jobs, and lead full
and happy lives, all without
endaneering their own health
or the health of others.
With the advent of the
drugs. victory against tuber-
culosis becomes nossible if =
and again it's a big IF = all
tuberculosis patients can be
discovered and treated early.

cease be contained. and kept

Confronted with the grave
crises precipitated by rae al
discord within our state in re-

dilemma facing persons of
Christian conscience, we are
compelled to voice publicly
our convictions. Indeed, as
Christian ministers and as
native Mississippians, sharing
the anguish Of all our people,
we have a particular obliga-

ourselves together in this ex-

that many others share these

Born of the deep conviction

"The basic commitment

to Jesus Christ as Lord and

permanent opposition to
