Judging Our Judges

We have observed with a great deal of interest
the opinion attributed to the Hennepin County Bar
Association that the present salary schedule" for
judges does not attract lawyers of demonstrated
ability"
This is interesting not only as a Judgment upon
our judges, but also as judgment upon the Bar
Association Unless memory plays tricks with US,
the association endorsed and supported all presently
sitting judges. Presumably these endorsements were
made partly the basis of the candidate lawyers
abilities, and certainly they represented to
the voters. (There is, to be sure certain amount
of suspicion that irrelevant considerations and
prejudices entered into the Bar Associations en-
dorsements but concerned here with the
clean outside Of the cup").
And now the Bar Association wants to raise the
salaries of these judges who it says are lawyers
without demonstrated ability. The reasoning seems
to be that $500 annual increase, from $4,000 to
S225OO, will call forth some kind of demonstra-
ton of ability in the gentlemen in question to make
them worth their sugar.
We have feelings way another about
all of this We simply find it all very fascinating.

The advertising that has been following the

Don't Try To Stop a Good Cry

An increasing number of men and women be-

the funeral of loved one or dear friend. Whether
one weeps or not at the bier of the deceased de-

We were interested in a statement made re-

of the American public toward death in an address
to a convention of funeral directors.
Said the sociologst, DIR. Robert L. Fulton OF
Los Angeles State College, "Our major concern in
dealing with death must be the emotional needs of
the survivors"
The funeral service, he implied, is both socially
useful and emotionaly valuable. If you want to cry

Many weekly newspapers each
issue exchange" copies Of their
papers with other papers. These
papers are called exchange"
copies. It is an economical way to
obtain news of what is going on
in other cities. 1t also gives the
average editor a supply Of chal-

comment which often can be re-
printed in the paper and which
often enhances the editorial page.
We also exchange papers with
some of the leading rural weeklies
some of which have excellent edi-
torial pages.
Only a few of the go odd Negro
weeklies which we receive make
use of the wealth found on the
editorial pages of other papers but
we have always utilized the mat

columns like this written by the
editor or publisher, which in a
sense keep up the rapport or con-
tact between the chief officer Of
the paper and its readers.
One of our favorite publisher
columnists is Frank Stanley, Jr.,
of the Louisville DEFENDER, one
of the better Negro weeklies Of
the nation. Stanley's column usual
ly reflects his well Travelled,
knowledgeable, capable combina-
ton of writer and businessman
philosophy. 1t is succinct and dares
to deal with national issues as
well as local problems.
Almost every Negro paper in
the nation has commented on re-
cent statements made by Adam
Clayton Powell and later state
ments by Cassius Clay heavy

found Mr.. Stanley's comment in
his April 4, editorial page highly
interesting and felt we should
share it with our family of readers

Important Reading

Important Reading The April issue of the AT
LANTIC monthly has Ralph McGilps, THE South
Has Many Faces" McGill, editor of the ATLANTA
CONSTITUTION, one of the outstanding us. news
papers writes in his opening paragraph of his
article:
I'm more than a quarter century Of giving ear
to Southern politicians, Klan speakers and preach
ers-and, in more recent years, the White Citizens
Councils, mob members such as those Of Little
Rock, New Orleans, and, later the SnOpses at Ole
Miss in Oxford, Mississippi, and the interpOsI-
dOnsts-I came to believe in something of rein
carnatiOn, the more likely fact Of numbing
unOriginality Of minds prejudced by race"
The McGin piece is well worth your buying
copy of the current Atlantic 1t full of the history
Of the South's Big Problem which has grown into
the U.S's Big Problem from the pen of a white
Southerner who has dared place the national in
terests above those of misguided and blind regional
prejudices.
Mr.. McGilrs syndicated column appears on the
editorial page of the st. Paul PIONEER PRESS
during the week. His liberal column in a sense off
sets the column of and-Negro reactionary-arch

The Heroes OF
Greenwood, Miss.

The heroic Americans of Greenwood, Mississ-
ipp like the heroes of Little Rock Oxford and
other points South, have filled in another part of
the picture of Southern ant-democracy for the
whole world to see. In Greenwood they have demon
strated that when citizens with dark skins go to
register in the South they are met with a number
of dscouragements In Greenwood, these have in
cluded savage dogs and savage policemen equipped
with clubs and trained in such arts arm twisting.
1t is obvious that the Greenwood police have
been put their good behavior in this controversy.
Thus the violence has been restrained by Dixie
standards. This in itself is tremendous gain-a
notable victory for the Negroes doctrine of nom
violence.
1t is also obvious that up to a full week after
the story broke the Associated Press and the United
Press International have been doing a disgraceful
job of reporting the story.
The story is Of course, the effort of Negro citi-
zens of Greenwood, Miss, to register as voters.
These citizens have for days been marching to the
registration center for the purpose of establishing
their right to vote But after the story had been
in the newspapers for a week, there not one
line in any press association dispatch published in
our area that told what had happened in the
registration office: whether any Negroes at all had
succeeded in registering, how many had been
fused registration, what the reasons for such
refusals, and what those who have been denied the
vote propose to do about it.
All that the press associations reported-in the
first week of the story at least-was the march to
the registration center and the police action against
it
Some of readers might ask why have
not dug up the rest of the story. The illus
trates how dependent we are for information upon
the daily press The Negro press, like the labor and
religious press lacks the facilities for on-the-spot
news gathering. We know that this is serious
shortcoming but it is fact. We considered estab-
fishing direct telephone contact with Greenwood but
abandoned the idea because Of our fear that any
body we talked with might be shot, dynamited or
otherwise violated We did not feel that Green
wood heroes should be called upon for any further
sacrifices.
Obviously the unreported part of the story is
that Mississippi is still denying Negro citizens the
right to vote
A story of equal interest perhaps, is the story of
why the press associations did not report this.

De FactO School
Segregation

In a good letter to this newspaper this week
Mrs. Constance Bowman parent and PTA member
discusses the socalled de facto school segregation"
a situation which is currently plaguing many north
ern communities Our counsel on this problem has
been that discussion and appraisal and not charged
emotion is needed to meet this problem in the Twin
Cities-because in a sense it is problem relatively
new to our school systems.
Our best minds in both races should discuss and
appraise the situation. Rabble rousng will only do
harm.
