SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Year $5.00—6 Months $3.00—3 Months $1.50 (In Advance) Taking The Props From tinier Mississippi Gubernatorial Candidates Noting that all five of the Mississippi gubernatorial candidates seem to spend most of their "politicking" hours trying to outdo each other by promising what they'll do to keep the Negro in "his place" if elected, a provocative thought struck us. Suppose, the thought went, during the political campaign all Negroes suddenly disappeared from Mississippi, what then would the candidates have to talk about? Right They would have to get to the more basic problems such as improving the outmoded highways and bringing the school system up to a respectable par with the rest of the nation. In short, and the point we were trying to get to all along, is that we think it wise for Mississippi voters not to vote for the man (or woman) who can shout "down with the Negro" the loudest, but for one who has some definite positive approach beneficial to all of the citizens of the state: Saving Our Small farms The powerful structure of this American principle was founded upon a strong coalition of small farms. The pioneer American was the bold spirit that braved the wilderness, chipped blazes on trees for highway guides and tilled the soil to come into the enjoyment of a bumper harvest. The spirit of the rural people was that leaven which has made our country great and influential among nations. It was the incentive to honesty and thrift and no institution among us today is without in some measure the skeins of that golden thread fn its garments. Those were rutted and muddy roads that webbed through small farm areas. Markets were few and far apart and somehow the small farmers managed to eke out such an existence as to break "even". Small were the profits from the sale of their produce and thousands of them took ten to twenty years to pay for a few acres of poor and discarded soil. Of late years we have seen the small farms give way for large acreage in pasture lands for cattle-grazing. Those who sweated and paid for these poor acres have long been gathered unto their fathers and their descendants have become discouraged and have deserted these haunts for the crowded cities. But still the small form idea persists. There are those who may be seen from the highway tilling their soil. Not like the small farmers of yesteryear who braved the long, muddy, unpaved roads to market his crops, they have the modern means of travel, electric lights, tractors, electric well-pumps and hot and cola water. These farmers have modern homes equipped with all sorts of labor-saving appliances. The daily newspaper, radio and television keep them informed of the doings of the world and after all the bright light of hope has come to the farm. Secretary Benson's idea is to keep these small farmers on the farm. To that end, he is pin-pointing those regions best suited for certain crops and offering assistance to those struggling small farmers who persist in remaining on the farm. In the years to come we will see a great influx of farmers j on these small and deserted farms. Our educational system is bringing to the farms new life arid vigor. It is affording bulletin helps and experienced assistance of personal contact with the farmers. Our rural schools and churches, those powerful social and educational centers of a bygone day, can never be substituted. A real America will ever demand that pioneer spirit of the small dirt farmer. He is the salt of the earth and we are thoroughly in harmony with those measures bent toward saving the small farmers. Make the most of it. Our Constitution, A Political Education The German people offer the first world war, missed the boat because they did not know and neither desired the type of government that was attempted for the rehabilitation of their war-ruined country. That is one of the reasons why the German mark depreciated almost to nothing and Hitler was able to marshal his brown shirts and overthrow so easily the government. If the major powers had heeded President Wilson's warning of the impending peril in allowing Germany to just drift along to inevitable ruin instead of assisting her leaders to perfect and implement a system of which they knew little and cared less, the world today would have another history. It is seen here in our own country and particular state, how important is an education in the political structures forming the environs of a citizen. There are many features in any dimension of society not to the liking of the whole body politic; there remain to this day misunderstandings and mal-interpretation of some phases of our own government by some of the better informed. Therefore, the first principle of good citizenship, is a clear understanding of one's government. By no other medium can one gain that sincere respect and deserved admiration for any government. That is the reason why the people behind the iron curtain can be so conveniently enslaved and regimented so easily against their own public weal. The American people are met today with the enviable opportunity of not only teaching, but the implementing before the country and the world the highest model of the contrivance of human morals ever known to civilization. Every measure embodying the concepts of human rights and civil liberties for the minorities has been unfolded from the present scroll of the Constitution of the United, States. Such a far vision and inquiry into the concern of those who at that time were powerless in any form of contention for that consideration to which every citizen by birth is entitled, was ascribed by the able British statesman, William Pitt as one of the best pieces of handiwork ever stricken by man at any given time The Constitution of the United States is a liberal education in our political systems. While justices, according to their times, have made various interpretations of the constitution, there will be found throughout its life, that political and economic usefulness, conditioned by the climatic relations which has kept the even tenor of a balanced keel. Our political philosophy is one God, one people and one country. Herein lies the panacea of peace and the crying parable exhorting the whole world that only as nations love, can they come into the heritage of goodwill to all men. the editor. There is nothing wrong with the decision There is only one kind of flesh of men. Corinthians 15th Chapter 39th years. This being true how does color make any one superior to another. We all know deep down in our hearts that we all are of the same flesh regardless of color of skin. People that have been taught to believe otherwise are void of understanding and don't know the real truth. Neither know their ancestry. Those who hate another oh the account of color or ones possessions are yet illiterate. People who carry hatred in their hearts against their fellow men whether they foe white or colored, such persons are yet uncivilized, and are detrimental to all other people. We have a certain class of white people in this country that believe that they are superior to all other races in the world. And have from time to time taught their children to believe the same thing which is ignorant. We have some colored people that think themselves inferior to this group, this is also ignorant. It is true that the colored people were there in their native habitat practicing a different civilizaton from that of the white man and they were branded by the white man as being heatherns Remember the white people were branded the same thing by theJews up until the days of St. Peter's visit to Cornelus. We also remember that the Jews were once slaves in Egypt. All right thinking people are proud of the supreme courts decision, it will help this country to prove to other nations of the world, that America is a civilized country and believe in fairness and justice to all of its citizens alike. We have a lot of race haters and unlearned people who have denounced the Supreme Court Justices They think they have the right of free speech. And at the same time they have made themselves guilty of sedition. And the court needs to look into the deportation laws and have some of this bunch deported to another country like Russia, where they will be made to keep, their mouths shut. Every citizen should have the highest respect for the Constitution and the Supreme Court The Constitution is the number one branch of our government and the Supreme Court has right to construe enforced. We got certain groups here in these Southern states both white and colored who are fighting the Supreme Court for the sole purpose to maintain the advantages that have taken over their fellowmen. Some of the whites are raising from the dead the old Klu klux Klan organization, trying to produce enough fear to frighten the colored into letting things remain likethey have them, and that their economic conditions will force them to accept. They forget that the colored people are about 78 per cent of the population of the world and they all are fighting for their freedom. Any nation that thinks or plans to do otherwise is making sad a mistake. All enemies of justice and fair play better take into account that guns don't win every battle. It will be best to tell the truth, and to some of our colored people, stop being E'SAU You will loose sooner or later. It will be good for all the people in America to be willing to rightly divide the spoils of justice and fair play to all the people, regardless to race, creed or color. You cannot wn the friendship of the colored people of the world when they see that you are an enemy of those at home A house divided against itself cannot stand. A kingdom divided against itself cannot stand, Look out America! R. P. Van Pelt, 931 Annie Street Memphis, Tenn. To the Editor: I am writing to you because I feel that you and your readers can help save a man's life. My husband, Jacob Mindel, nearly 74 years of age, ill with progressive heart disease and complicated chronic stomach disease, is today in prison serving a two-year sentence under the Smith Act. We have been married 45 years, with 51 years of uninterrupted friendship and mutual respect between us. My husband is known as a Marxist scholar of long standing. But since 1948 his illness compelled him to lead a quiet life at home. My husband was not charged with a single overt act, yet he has been in prison since January of this year. In truth, what my husband could be charged with is his devotion to peace and his ideas for a happy life for all people. Many outstanding Americans, including U. S. Supreme Court Justices Douglas and Black, regard the Smith Act as unconstitutional, and many more have expressed their opposition to convicting people on false testimony of paid informers Two of my husband's codefendants have been granted a new trial on the basis of informer Matusow's admissions that be bore false witness against them and others. I have faith that justice will in time prevail But time works speedily against my husband. Even in recent weeks his health suffered a setback. At my husband's age and in his condition of health his two-year term as in reality a life term, a cruel and unusual punishment which the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution forbids. Your readers may not agree with my husband's ideas, but I think they agree that life Imprisonment must not be the penalty for a man's ideas. I urge with all my heart that you print this letter and that your readers write to the Chairman, Federal Parole Board 101 Indiana Avenue, N. W. Washington, D. C. asking for prompt parole for Jacob Mindel. I would deeply appreciate receiving a copy of any letter sent to the Parole Board. MRS. REBECCA MINDEL 254 Bronx Park East Bronx 67, N. Y.

REVIEWING THE NEWS By WILLIAM GORDON Managing Editor, Atlanta Daily World It has been the thesis of Adam Clayton Powell and that of many other top leaders in this country. The Negro is an American and should be judged in terms of American patterns and customs. Though however clear-cut this thesis might be, some still twist it, confuse the issue of hand and try to interpret the plight of the Negro in America in light of what exists elsewhere in the world. And by right, there is no comparison. It was an editor from India who said recently: "Negroes should be thankful for what they are being given in America." He had been in this country for only two and one-half months, trying to get a picture of things. Before coming here he had heard all sorts of stories about Negroes, Negative propaganda had it that Negroes still lived in cabins, were pushed back into the slums and denied all sorts of rights as human beings. So he was deeply impressed with things. Although, he was impressed, the man from India still failed to get the true story of what's taking place in America. First of all, he tried to compare the American Negro with the average Indian. Once himself depressed, denied certain rights and privileges, he thought the Negro should be grateful for what the white man has done for him. And he went away with this impression. Instead of viewing this from what the white man had done for him, the Indian should look at the picture from the point of view of what the white man has done to him. The Negro is perhaps the most grateful individual in all history and he has proven this in more ways than one. He has been faithful, patient, and without question America's most loyal citizen. Most of all, he has been appreciative of what that genuine and democratic segment of the American white population has done in his behalf and what the white man has done for America in general. But even this gives no reason for comparison, for the Negro in America is not an Asiatic, but American and the progress affecting him should be judged accordingly. What many people fail to see is that what the Negro has achieved in this country, is part of what America has also achieved. The old adage that you "Can't keep a man in the ditch unless you stay there with him" is just as true in America as it is in Europe or Asia. There are many foreign visitors who look at the neat housing, the better jobs gained by Negroes during the past decade. They go back with the feeling that the Negro should be thankful. They should go back with the feeling that America should be thankful and not just the Negro. For what the Negro has achieved has also been achieved by more accurately saying that America is not keeping itself in the "ditch of human progress," that through enlightment, and democratic thinking, it is lifting itself up by its own bootstraps, and that the Negro citizen is supplying a greater part of the manpower and labor to make this possible. What the Indians, other Asiatics and Europeans should realize is that the Negro is doing this almost single-handed, and that even now, he has made only the halfway mark in strides for equality. What he has gained has been done so through legal action, the focusing of inconsistent reasoning on the part of those bent on keeping him down, and through outside pressure brought to bear against the hard core of reaction. The job has not been easy and the road from here on won't be either. All of his labor, his blood, sweat and tears have been a significant part of what America has built itself to be today. All the way from the cotton fields of Alabama, the diseaseinfested swamps of the Everglades, from the giant sky scrapers to the assembly lines of America's industrial might can be traced the blood and sweat of the Negro. Everything today termed American is a monument to his skills, his patience and loyalty. He is American and should be judged according to American Standards.

To Outline Program Of Suspended Sororities An interim committee to draw up a code of conduct and to outline procedures for the reinstatement of suspended sororities and fraternities has been established at Morgan State College, President Martin D. Jenkins announced today. The faculty voted on March 8 to suspend the fraternal groups effective June 7, 1955 through February 1,1956 for engaging in activities "detrimental to the college." According to George C. Grant, Dean of the college and adviser to the Pan-Hellenic Council, the special committee will meet during the early part of the first semester beginning in September, 1955 to draw up a recommended code governing all sororities and fraternities on the campus This code must then be submitted to the Faculty Executive Council for approval. Once approved, each sorority and fraternity, in applying for reinstatement, must certify in writing its intention to subscribe to the code. Dean Grant said it is anticipated that all fraternities arid Sororities will be reinstated as of February 1, 1956. The interim committee consists of twenty-four student members, three from each of the eight fraterna! organizations and three faculty members who are to be appointed by President Jenkins. Dean Grant has stipulated that the code of conduct for fraternities must conform to the criteria established by the National Inter-fraternity Conference and must, in addition, incorporate thirteen points which he has described as "minimum essentials." Aliquippa Rev. Grant Roberts is conducting an old fashion revival at the New Zion Baptist Church, Pittsburgh. Rev. Asa W. Roberts of Detroit will deliver the 12th anniversary sermon for his father, the Rev. Grant Roberts, pastor of the Triedstone Baptist Church on June 26. Mrs. Dessie Roberts is visiting with relatives in Americus, Ga. some of whom are ill.
