Bombs Fail To Frighten Voters A crudely constructed bomb was tossed into a populous Negro polling place in Jacksonville,. Florida. The incident occurred on the eve of balloting for delegates to the National Democratic Convention in which a preference was to be expressed for or against Senator Richard B. Russell of Georgia and Senator Estes Kefauver of Tennessee. It seems as though the purpose of the bombing which ripped a hole into the roof of a Negro business school was to frighten race voters away from the polls. Like so many terrorist devices which have been used against Negro voters in the South—who go to the polls and vote their conVictions—the bomb failed to deter ballot-minded citizens from going to polling places and expressing their sentiments. A larger number of Negro citizens voted than ever before. There should be a lesson and warning in this story. Negroes are not going to be intimidated by these Klan technique bombings. They only bring out the grit and determination of Negro people to work for full ballot equality and citizenship. These storm warnings of rope, faggot and bomb no longer strike terror into the hearts of Negro people. Precinct 3-A at Walker Vocational and Commercial School in Jacksonville points out the gross inequity of all-Negro polling places. It pinpoints what gerrymandering does to public morale. It illustrates that majority citizens want the bloc vote. If not then our voters could be the voice potent in all elections. Let us point out that Jacksonville using Negro precinct workers, clerks and officials showed that terrorist tumult will not deter our people from going to the polls. Militant action should get underway to Secure for Atlanta clerks and officials. In 1945 Atlanta used Negro workers in polling places. A complaint from Democratic patronage workers forced the local Democratic committee to discontinue their use. We should put this plan back into effect. The point is that we are going to the polls despite bombings and other man made terrors. And the South can no longer temporize on the question of integrating Negroes into every phase of political activity from the standpoint of election workers to officeholders. Two-Party System Needed The daily newspapers, the tolerant public and those who decry a political debacle of bloc voting, sectional antagonism and a one party system of county units that has brought this section to the very verge of political oblivion, now have an enviable opportunity to come upon the scene and rescue the state from the clutches of those who have risen to power and who use the voters as pawns in carrying out their selfish designs. For some two or three times, the Supreme court has either refused to review the county unit or questioned its merit. At any rate it has been thrown back into the laps of its opponents enough for them to see the courts mean to leave this matter up to the state. Now that it's like Banquo ghost, will not down, and the legendary chicken that insists upon coming home to roost, it is time those who oppose a system of political slavery to come to the rescue in the form of a deathly stroke at the shackles that bind the feet of a state that has never been doubtful since the civil war. The Republican party in this state holds the most feasible and reasonable answer to this grave problem. For many years it has stood by, doing nothing until the year of the presidential election. To this end and for this cause it has and possibly rightly so, been dubbed as a mere system for the distribution of patronage. Some one once called it the Post office party. In the set up and the way it dispensed patronage, it drew the reproach of honorable people; its opportunities for usefulness were hampered and many people of integrity and character refused to become affiliated with it. Every one knows that this Fifth District has suffered from the fact that it has not always been represented by one representing the majority and there is ever a general complaint on this score. One does hot have to be a Republican to see and admit this evil. One does not have to be a Republican in order to oppose county units and the naming of representatives to Congress on a county unit system. If the Republican party in Georgia means to be a party in fact; if it means to throw off the stigma that it exists for purely patronage reasons, it will seize this, the finest opportunity that ever came within its grasp, to enlist sympathetic adherents to its thin and declining ranks. The Supreme Court of the United States knew that if and when the people of this state decided to strike the death blow, the county unit system would go. Those who stand idly by and let this harvest pass, should be ashamed to go to the Supreme Court and ask it to come down here in Georgia and participate in a free election when it is in their power to rise and strike-the shackles from their own legs. The Republican party has an opportunity to make for the state that decision the courts refused; it has an opportunity to endear itself to the people of this state as having rendered it a service it has sought and failed to achieve for generations. Opportunity for once is definitely in the Republican party's corner. A Bad Tax Killed In New York City, recently, the authorities decided to impose a $6 a year fee on all those who would park their automobile in city streets. On top of all the other taxes New York City drivers were paying, this seemed to them to be the last straw and they raised such a storm of protest that the city authorities, in the end, withdrew the proposal. Drivers of automobiles today, though not required by law in many states to carry liability insurance to insure their responsibility, are burdened by almost every kind of tax imaginable. In the first place, if they pay as much as $2,000 for an automobile, they are paying over $500 in taxes. This tax estimate covers all taxes, beginning with raw materials that go into the car and tending with the Federal tax on the sale of each new car. After this tax, the motorist is required to buy a license to pay an inspection tax in most states, to pay fairly heavy taxes on gasoline, both Federal and State, and to pay many other taxes. He also pays Federal taxes on every new accessory he buys and is beset with just about every other tax on the operation of a motor vehicle that can be thought up by some city, county, state or federal authority. When American cities come to the point where they must charge motorists $6 a year to park on the street, it is a sad day for all of us. Although New York is not the first city to consider such a plan, it is gratifying that motorists in that city raised such a storm of protest, they defeated this, additional tax on the automobile. REVIEWING THE NEWS Fights, cuttings and even murder have become so common place among Negroes that people are beginning to pay very little attention to the situation and likewise are doing less to stem the tide of cruelty we heap upon each other. So widespread has become this evil of brutality and killings among us, that newspapers, when they begin to strive for sensationalism, look for something different and more unusual. The schools, the pulpits and even the law enforcement agencies have done little to cut away this blight from Negro society. It seems to be on an increase rather than a decrease. The peculiar thing about it, is that we seem to pick the most ridiculous things to fight, or kill for. Just the other day a man in a small Georgia town shot his pregnant wife because she refused to give him a clear story of her whereabouts during a few hours that she was missing from the home. Another recent case involved that ot a man who went into his house, without reason, he contends, and shot his wife down in cold blood. When the police came, he merely stated that he did it for reasons of his own, emphasizing that his wife had done absolutely nothing to him. We could go on and on and relate incident after incident involving cold-blooded murder by Negroes against other Negroes. The whole thing seems to be done without any reason at all, and the situation is getting worse. Those of us who are willing to analyze the situation on an objective rather than an emotional basis know that this endless act of brutality is born out of frustration by Negroes who have been denied the proper rights and facilities like other American citizens. Our various institutions can't solve the problem fast enough because of the lack of these basic principles. Most important of all is the economic factor, and no matter what we say it can't be overlooked. A man must be given the opportunity to earn enough to buy decent housing and sanitary living conditions. He must also have over and above this, to purchase decent education for his children. In this final analysis, he must be able to raise his standard of living to the point where he is on par with other citizens. Decent and wholesome surroundings are indicative of wholesome outlook and good citizenship. Filth and substandard living conditions are synonymous with disease and crime. These evils of society, do not produce clear and intelligent minds. The victims of these conditions must find some place to release their suppress emotions. The nearest point to them is often their loved ones, their friends and their neighbors. We can stop Negroes from killing each other only when we begin to apply the fundamental principles of social needs, which are none other than giving them all available opportunities made to other citizens. Frustration, as a result of many of our traditional social patterns, is a detriment, not only to Negroes but to whites as well.

AME Bishops: Retired And Elected Three new bishops Were elected: two retired and one given a four-year leave at the recent thirty-fourth quadrennial session of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, held in Chicago. Senior Bishop W. A. Fountain, presiding at the time over the Ninth Episcopal District and Bishop Reverdy C. Ransom, scholarly, oldest, history-writing bishop were retired. Bishop Monroe H. Davis, serving in Louisiana and Mississippi, was given a leave to restore his shaky health. Alabama-born Bishop Eugene C. Hatcher, the songster of the pulpit; Bishop Frederick Douglas Jordan of California and Bishop H. Thomas Primm of Louisiana were all elevated to the A. M. E. Episcopal bench. All three are comparatively young men; energetic, concerned, with a spirit attuned to man's highest spiritual needs. Delegates to this general conference did much more than elect bishops—they rose up to try to correct some things which they felt needed revamping. Something' was done to remove the stench from an unworthy type of questionable "politics." A seventeen-person judicial council was created to handle matters which all too frequently have been referred to the courts with a high cost in money and a big loss in prestige. Wasteful legal and court costs and services might have already dissipated funds which could have been assigned to a more constructive use. Incumbent bishops were for most part re-assigned to the districts over which they were presiding up to the time of the General Conference. The three newly consecrated bishops were given assignments in Africa. Bishop Isaiah H. Bonner, a native Alabama-an, is succeeding Retired Bishop Fountain in the Ninth Episcopal District, all inclusive Alabama. He is following in the footsteps of a church leader who devoted much of his life to the field of liberal education. Bishop Sherman L. Green returns to Georgia where he has a challenging opportunity to be of service wider than the duties of the A. M. E. Church and as broad as the crying needs of his group, and other citizens. One thing the delegates seem to have reflected at the conference is that of improvement in the conduct of the church leaders; a revamping and bolstering of the machinery of the church to make it better serve needs of the members and the church communities. We review this as a healthy surge of a new spirit crying out for a return to those classic ideals: a re-dedication to the teachings of Jesus Christ and the finding again those high values which give to man his dignity, worth and his best. Certainly there is work to do in the foreign field but still a great deal to do here. The evil forces of hate, bigotry, terror and meanness seek to undermine the pillars of faith, justice and hope. The leadership of the powerful A. M. E. Church, should it work devotedly and honestly, can in a positive way weaken, and eventually overcome such forces. MY WEEKLY SERMON A man nearly seventy years died last week. He was good. He was kind. His wife was grief-stricken... his children were called back home to his funeral. A friend, "death," had visited the old homestead . . at midnight Why call death a friend? Death never takes from an individual anything worth keeping. It takes from the individual his pains, his aches, his sorrows, his anxieties, his griefs . . . hence we call him a friend. In their bereavement that dedeceased old man's family came to the church . . . saying in substance, "a friend, (death) of my husband, my father, came to us at midnight and we have nothing to set before him." They knew the church had something adequate to set before them in their sad midnight hour. In one of Jesus' most interesting conversations, there is a haunting sentence ... "a friend of mine, in his journey, is to come to me, and I have nothing to set before him " It was midnight when that visitor came and found the man upon whom he had always depended empty-handed. It is midnight for thousands of people. Do we have anything adequate to set before them in their hour of dire need? In many homes "all love and tenderness seem turned to dust and ashes, mocked by the ghosts of sweet things dead. The church has something adequate and satisfying to set before men and women in their midnight hour. That "something is not new. It is the ageless message of God to the ageless heart of humanity. Christianity is a midnight religion. In its sacred book, the Bible, midnight is always the hour of deliverance. It was near midnight that the children of Israel departed from Egypt on that memorable journey to the land of promise Without the aid of human hands, the iron gates of prison opened at midnight for Peter. At midnight the prisoners were awakened by the songs of Paul and Silas . . . songs which proved to be songs of deliverance. It could not have been far from midnight when the great stone was roiled away from the tomb of Joseph's garden. Christianity is the only religion which has ever adequately measured itself against the midnight of death. It is the only religion Which can ever adequately measure itself against those forces in human society which bring the individual and the world to the midnight of heartaches and tears, bereavements and losses. The church has something for you . . . and you. . . in your midnight hour . . . even the blackest midnight of the fearful sense of the irrevocable. The church has something for you!

Fact And Fun Recently I attended a meeting where some Boy Scouts were being put through a series of tests to determine their resourcefulness. The Scoutmaster asked one tenderfoot this question: "If you were standing nearby and there was an explosion which threw a man high in the air. while the doctor was being called, what would you do?" The tenderfoot looked around helplessly. He looked at his friends. He peered at the floor and shifted from one foot to another. Suddenly his face lit up with an inspiration. "I," he said, "I would wait for the man to come down." A friend of mine was trying to show how tough the neighborhood was that he grew up in. Finally, to prove his point, he told how he once applied for a job as delivery boy for a local store. "The storekeeper told me that he'd advertised for a good, strong boy, and asked me could I handle the job," said my friend. "For an answer I took him to the window of his store and showed him the sixteen other applicants I'd had to whip before I got inside the store." Sam Jones noticed that his son wasn't all he should be. He decided to have a long, serious talk with the boy. "John," said Sam. "you're a big boy now. It's time you straightened up. Suppose I die suddenly? Where would you be?" John smiled, showing his even white teeth. "I'd be here," he answered. "The question is, where would you be?" "I will not try to have my draft classification changed." That was the declaration of a citizen of North Dakota when he received notice that he had been classed 1-A. "What makes his classification unusual? He was born in slavery. A white diner walked wearily into the dining room where the colored waiter directed him to a table and handed him a menu. The diner handed the menu back to the waiter. "Just, bring me a good meal," he said. The waiter did as he was directed. When the diner finished eating, he handed the waiter a substantial tip. "Thank you, sir" said the waiter, "and if you got any friends who can't read, you just send them to me, too." Marian Anderson Is Cited In NY. Miss Marian Anderson, noted contralto Sunday was cited by the Presbyterian Church in the U. S. A., for her contributions to human rights. The citation was presented 'to Miss Anderson during the 164th General Assembly of the church here. It read: "The Presbyterian Church in the U. S. A., has the honor to present to Miss Marian Anderson its recognition of the beauty of her spirit, the glory of her matchless art, the fidelity of her dedication to freedom's, cause, for she has sung unto the Lord a new song, a song of our common brotherhood in Christ."

Taft's proposed constitutional amendment to limit the spending power of the national gov eminent is a proposal that appeals to millions of voters. It is far more practical than the proposal, endorsed by several state legislatures that would limit federal taxes to twenty-five percent of individual and corporation income. Taft and Senator Ferguson (R.Mich) would prohibit Congress from authorizing expenditures (for non-military purposes) totaling more than five percent of the national income, exclusive of payments on the interest of the national debt. This limit might be opento 'debate but the idea —of limiting spending rather collections is sound. Taft says tax limitations would not be' worth anything if Congress could go ahead and spend money. The money spent, there would be no other choice, but to borrow money. With a limit on spending this danger would not be encountered. Thus the appeal of the spending limit constitution amend ment to Tuft and Ferguson. It also appeals to many citizens and in Washington the introduction of the amendment was considered a smart political move on the part of the Ohio Senator. The Ohio Senator believes the government should spend only about twenty-five percent of the national income. State and local governments now take about 7 per cent of the national income from the nation's taxpayers and spend it. Taft would limit the Congress to five percent, for non-military spending! This would leave about 13 per cent of the national income to be spent on national defense, if such an expenditure were need ed. A breakdown shows that me five (non-defense) per cent and the 13 (defense), percent would give Congress about 51 billions to spend this year. However, the budget un der which Congress is working, as sent over from the executive totals well above that amount and next year's budget (beginning July 1st) is estimated at 85 billions. It is probably fair to say that the cut from 85 billions to 51 or 55 would be a tremendous task, and might not be possible in one swoop However, the Taft-Ferguson amend ment is aimed in the right direcand some sort of limit on spend ing set, it would be a stabilizing' economic development. Perhaps, a total 25 percent limit cannot be pushed through to adoption, but even a 30 or 35 per cent limit would save billions of dollars annually. The taxpayer is all for it. NAACP Bids Alabama Use Democracy Text A request that' Governor Gordon Persons and the Alabama State Board of Education reverse their position opposing the use of a textbook called "The Challenge of Democracy" in Alabama schools was made this week by Mrs. Ruby Hurley, south east regional secretary of the National Association for the Advance ment of Colored People. Governor Person had written the committee considering use of the textbook, deploring a section in the book entitled "Building Harmonious Human Relations." This section denounces racial discrimination, and advocates equal sharing of the benefits of demo cracy by members of all groups, and states the facts of employment discrimination. Outlining discrimination against Negro citizen:) in Alabama and throughout the South, Mrs. Hurley asserted that Alabama school children have a "right to enjoy freedom in learning" and strongly urged use of the book without deletion of the section on human relations.
