SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Year $5.00 — 6 Months $3.00 — 3 Months $1.50 (In Advance) Does Stevenson's Victory In California Constitute A Trend? The battle for ballots between Adlai E. Stevenson and Estes; Kefauver for the Democratic nomination has swept through the "Golden Gate' of the great west. In the face of conditions, the question now in order-is, does the situation definitely constitute a trend for Adlai Stevenson? Even though it be assumed that the Stevenson victory was nearly two to one, when reduced to a last analysis the facts, would disclose that in the face of a combined total of strength between Stevenson and Kefauver, there is nothing the Stevenson backers can rely upon as indicative of on overall national, victory. In the first place, Stevenson has a long way to go. It is understood that the compromise on the .segregation issue, as contrasted over against the liberal views of Kefauver, which are in whispering distance of those of Adlai Stevenson in the lost presidential campaign, makes Stevenson a more formidable favorable to recapture and hold together the Solid South. 'This Stevenson's backers would hove him do. When the other side of the picture is turned on Kefauver because of his liberal views on the segregation question, more favorable to the powerful Negro and liberal adherents of the party, there may be a decide different picture when the votes are counted at the Democratic convention in Chicago. The indications that Stevenson is more favored in the deep South where segregation has been superimposed into campaigns, might not work so well in those sections dependent largely upon the liberal and Negro vote, in many places the determining factors in elections. So, the jubilation evident among the Stevenson backers because of the victory he piled up in California over Kefauver, might await such time as when the whole situation is cleared through those sections of the country commanding the pivotal balance. The Montgomery Bus Decision Once again the Federal Courts have denied the validity and the justice of the "separate but equal" doctrine of the nineteenth century. What is "separate" in terms of the basic human rights of an individual, can never be "equal". Persons are not "things," and the separation of persons by law, tradition, intimidation or any coercive force whatever is prima facie evidence of on implied inequality. A few days ago, a three judge panel in a United States. Federal Court sitting in Montgomery, once again said "NO" to a plea that citizens in this free nation be segregated or otherwise inconvenienced because of the color of their skin. In the case in question, the panel .in a 2-1 decision ruled that segregation on the city buses in Montgomery violates the Federal Constitution. Anticipating on appeal by city and state officials, the panel gave the opposing attorneys two weeks in which to submit written suggestions on how the anti-segregation order should be entered, and whether a stay of its effect should be granted pending an appeal. The Montgomery decision was logical and just. It is consistent with the historic decision of May 17, 1954, in which the United States Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the "separate but equal" doctrine in education must give way to a more humane and therefore more just interpretation of man's proper relation to his fellowman. Segregation, said the Supreme Court, is per se unjust. It has no place in public education. By extension, we suggest that it has no place at all in our society which con be justified by the. Constitution under which we live, or by the Great Commandment. by which we are finally judged. The recent decision outlawing segregation on the Montgom-. ery busses was to be expected by all who believe the Courts of the land place principle and integrity above emotion and provin cialism. Even though there was a dissenting opinion by one of the three judges who reviewed the case, there were few people, even among the pro-segregationists, who honestly expected a decision different from that the Court rendered. The seporation of American citizens on the basis of race or color is legally passe. To persist in trying to retain legal segregation in any field is unrealistic and costly - in terms of money, and in terms of interracial goodwill and understanding. The best interests of all the people would be served if the spirit of the Supreme Court's 1954 decision would be accepted as o guide in all pertinent situations Thusly could the endless and expensive litigation be discontinued, and ail concerned would again hove time and energy and incen live to turn attention to other problems which we can ill-afford to neglect any longer. Combine Education With Religion, Borders Says Dr. William Holmes Borders, pastor of Wheat Street Baptist Church. Atlanta. Ga urged some 337 candidates for degrees at North Caroling college's 45th baccalaureate sermon Sunday. to combine their education and religion. Such a combination. he said. would serve humanity and help to solve pressing racial prob lems. He spoke at 4:00 P. m. in the Men's Gymnasium where Tuesday's finals audience heard the annual commencement address delivered by Dr. Karl W. Biglow, professor of education at Columbia University. Rev. Borders said the American Negro has progressed from slavery to a position as "the thermometer of American democracy," and that because of world pressure the American white man must come to terms with the Negro on this basis. In meeting the challenge. the speaker said, the Negro must his own sense of humor, respect each other as children of God, and strengthen the strong points of Negro culture within the overall framework of American culture. Citing the need for trained persons, the noted citric said, however, that "in addition to being a will trained person, you must also be a good person." He called the home the place where goodness begins nature's gift to society," and warned against the evil of "excluding God from the home." "The first impressions are made on the child in the home These impressions are first in time and final in value. The first twelve years of a child's life arc most importent. What is put in a child during the period of credulity is more than likely to completely condition the entire life span. "As it is next to impossible to uproot an erroneous idea, it is next to impossible to undo a righteous idea. My Bible tells me Train a child in the way it should go and when it is old, it will not depart therefrom."

THE QUICKSILVER POOL Newly married Lora accompanies her husband, Wide Tyler, to his family home on Staten Island after nursing him back to health from a serious wound he received while fighting as a union soldier. She meets Wade's autocratic mother. Amanda Tyler, and Jemmy, son of Wade and his dead first wife, Virginia. Amid the Knowing tension between Wade's mother and Lora the bride learns that Virginia died by drowning in a pond near the Tyler home. Lora finds Wade mourning for Virginia and asks him to tell her what she was like. After learning more of Wade's earlier life. Lora promises Jemmy a surprise for Christmas. The surprise is a puppy despite the opposition of Wade's mother to having nets in the house, Lora makes the acquaintance of Mrs. Morgan Channing and hegins to learn of the relationship between her and the Tylers. LORA could find no words when Mrs. Channing reveated Hint her "gardener" was her father. She made an effort to recover from her surprise and moved-again-toward the door. But Mrs. Channing turned back. "Wait a moment!" she cried, and went 'wiftly toward the end wall of the drawing room where the portrait hung, her black skirts rustling over her wide hoop. A long green cord with a tassel on the end hung down along one side of the picture. Mrs. Channing reached for it and as she pulled, the velvet draperies parted to reveal the entire portrait. The artist had painted a second woman who had in a low chair, looking up at the figure in yellow. The second girl wore pale green and she was young and pretty, but with none of the arresting quality of Morgan Channing. "My sister," Mrs. Channing said "Virginia." Lora was too startled to speak. This was Wade's wife; the woman who had come first in his life, the woman he wanted her to resemble. She stared in fascination at the sweet, young face of the girl in pale green Virginia had light hair with a golden touch to the ringlets about her face. She held an embroidery hoop in her small hands with the needle poised above It, as if the had Just paused to look up at her sister. "I was never very fond of her." Mis. Channing said carelessly. "She was a silly, rather insipid little thing. I never understood what Wade saw in her." The challenging gaze shifted suddenly from the portrait and fixed Lora candidly "you are nothing at all like Virginia. How did Wade come to get over his great love?," The suddenness of the question shocked an equally candid answer from Lora "He wants to think I am like her," she admitted. Mrs. Channing s unrestrained laugh rang out again. "This may be amusing to watch! Considering your behavior over this puppy. Wade could be in for a jolt one of these days." "Not if I can help it," said Lora stiffly. Suddenly she wanted to get away from this woman and this room. But Mrs. Channing would not release her so sully She walked to the door with Lora and opened it. "We are going to be friends, she said confidently "I have offended you now. But you'll forgive me in time. You will forgive because you are as direct as I am 11 Come see me again when that mausoleum becomes too much for you." "Wade—Serena Lord is giving a party on Christmas even and we are invited. It's to be a dance and late supper.'' She held the note out to him. He shook his head "Naturally, we cannot go." "But why not?" she asked in surprise. A party and dance at Serena's sounded exciting and lively. A sudden desire for gaiety surged up in her. "After all," Wade said, "there is' a period of mourning to be observed for your father. And I have. not felt like indulging in frivolity myself for a long while." "Papa didn't believe in mourning," Lora told him quickly "He never wanted me to wear black or: go around with a long face." She went to him, put light hands on his arm, gently pleading. His eyes softened and he bent to press his cheek against hers. "You are a wheedling one," he said. "But you have forgotten that I cannot dance, thanks to my leg." "I won't dance either," she promised. "I'll sit beside you and we'll watch all the bright things that are happening, together. It will be wonderful just to dress up and—' "Dress up?" he repealed "But, my dear, you have no gown that would be suitable to wear. Christmas eve is almost upon us and I understand a seamstress 'cannot be had at this time." For just a moment her hopes tell Then she lifted her chin in t gesture of determination. "I have the material now—that lovely garnet satin which is intended for a party gown I can make the dress myself. I know just the style I would like. Please let me, Wade." Lora could not wait lo be off to her own room, where she could spread out the rich material on her bed, loving the shine, the feel, the very smell of it There was something heady about the scent of new material. She would make herself the most beautiful gown she had ever possessed she would be a credit to Wade at the party, and that would please him, be good for them both. At dinner Wade mentioned the party casually and Mrs. Tyler expressed some disapproval, but not opposition. Plainly she did not like the idea that Lora meant to make the gown herself, but she was surprisingly moderate in her remarks. But later she hailed Lora to her room and said, "You are still an outsider in this house, A stranger. You have not even begun to intograte yourself with our manner of life. It even seems to me that you are a stranger to my son I do not know what reason drove you marriage with him. but I think at was not love." Lora sat very still She had not expected this perceptive turn or mind in Wades mother. But she had no secret to conceal. Wade knew about Martin. In the moments when he was completely honest he Knew this had been a marriage or two lonely people was needed something to cling to. But it was impossible to explain this to Wade's mother. Mrs. Tyler continued, her tone steady and cold. "I will now tell you a certain truth you should know before you make friends with the woman who lives in that monstrous house up the hili. From the time Morgan Ambrose grew into adolescence everyone knew that she had sot her cap shamelessly for Wade. It was quite plain that she meant to have him at all costs. If I had not ... prevented it ... he might well have married her." Somehow this "truth" which Mrs. Tyler seemed to think so unportant did not particularly snock or disturb Lora. After all, with Wades charm, why shouldn't a girl like Morgan have been attraded to him? But that was an so long ago. Why should it matter now, or be considered a reason for carrying on a feud? She went on to s point which interested her more. "Did you object to his marrying Virginia?' "There was a suddenly bleak note in Mrs. Tyler s voice, but a little to Lora's surprise she answered the question and with a ring of honesty. "I did not see that coming," she confessed. "The danger from Morgan seemed so much more imminet that I did not expect such a rebound." "But since Virginia was the sort to make Wade a good wife, why should you have minded?" Mrs. Tyler sat a notch- more proudly in her chair "It was hardly fitting Jason Cowle's grandson to marry a servant girl. The shock for me was very great." Lora felt a Hash of pity, for the girl Virginia. She was beginning to feel that she knew Virginia rather well. "At least her marriage could not have been as bad for you as if he had brought Morgan here," Lora said drily.

But Mrs. Channing turned back. "Wait a moment!" she cried, and went 'wiftly toward the end wall of the drawing room where the portrait hung, her black skirts rustling over her wide hoop. A long green cord with a tassel on the end hung down along one side of the picture. Mrs. Channing reached for it and as she pulled, the velvet draperies parted to reveal the entire portrait. The artist had painted a second woman who had in a low chair, looking up at the figure in yellow. The second girl wore pale green and she was young and pretty, but with none of the arresting quality of Morgan Channing. "My sister," Mrs. Channing said "Virginia." Lora was too startled to speak. This was Wade's wife; the woman who had come first in his life, the woman he wanted her to resemble. She stared in fascination at the sweet, young face of the girl in pale green Virginia had light hair with a golden touch to the ringlets about her face. She held an embroidery hoop in her small hands with the needle poised above It, as if the had Just paused to look up at her sister. "I was never very fond of her." Mis. Channing said carelessly. "She was a silly, rather insipid little thing. I never understood what Wade saw in her." The challenging gaze shifted suddenly from the portrait and fixed Lora candidly "you are nothing at all like Virginia. How did Wade come to get over his great love?," The suddenness of the question shocked an equally candid answer from Lora "He wants to think I am like her," she admitted. Mrs. Channing s unrestrained laugh rang out again. "This may be amusing to watch! Considering your behavior over this puppy. Wade could be in for a jolt one of these days." "Not if I can help it," said Lora stiffly. Suddenly she wanted to get away from this woman and this room. But Mrs. Channing would not release her so sully She walked to the door with Lora and opened it. "We are going to be friends, she said confidently "I have offended you now. But you'll forgive me in time. You will forgive because you are as direct as I am 11 Come see me again when that mausoleum becomes too much for you." "Wade—Serena Lord is giving a party on Christmas even and we are invited. It's to be a dance and late supper.'' She held the note out to him. He shook his head "Naturally, we cannot go." "But why not?" she asked in surprise. A party and dance at Serena's sounded exciting and lively. A sudden desire for gaiety surged up in her. "After all," Wade said, "there is' a period of mourning to be observed for your father. And I have. not felt like indulging in frivolity myself for a long while." "Papa didn't believe in mourning," Lora told him quickly "He never wanted me to wear black or: go around with a long face." She went to him, put light hands on his arm, gently pleading. His eyes softened and he bent to press his cheek against hers. "You are a wheedling one," he said. "But you have forgotten that I cannot dance, thanks to my leg." "I won't dance either," she promised. "I'll sit beside you and we'll watch all the bright things that are happening, together. It will be wonderful just to dress up and—' "Dress up?" he repealed "But, my dear, you have no gown that would be suitable to wear. Christmas eve is almost upon us and I understand a seamstress 'cannot be had at this time." For just a moment her hopes tell Then she lifted her chin in t gesture of determination. "I have the material now—that lovely garnet satin which is intended for a party gown I can make the dress myself. I know just the style I would like. Please let me, Wade." Lora could not wait lo be off to her own room, where she could spread out the rich material on her bed, loving the shine, the feel, the very smell of it There was something heady about the scent of new material. She would make herself the most beautiful gown she had ever possessed she would be a credit to Wade at the party, and that would please him, be good for them both. At dinner Wade mentioned the party casually and Mrs. Tyler expressed some disapproval, but not opposition. Plainly she did not like the idea that Lora meant to make the gown herself, but she was surprisingly moderate in her remarks. But later she hailed Lora to her room and said, "You are still an outsider in this house, A stranger. You have not even begun to intograte yourself with our manner of life. It even seems to me that you are a stranger to my son I do not know what reason drove you marriage with him. but I think at was not love." Lora sat very still She had not expected this perceptive turn or mind in Wades mother. But she had no secret to conceal. Wade knew about Martin. In the moments when he was completely honest he Knew this had been a marriage or two lonely people was needed something to cling to. But it was impossible to explain this to Wade's mother. Mrs. Tyler continued, her tone steady and cold. "I will now tell you a certain truth you should know before you make friends with the woman who lives in that monstrous house up the hili. From the time Morgan Ambrose grew into adolescence everyone knew that she had sot her cap shamelessly for Wade. It was quite plain that she meant to have him at all costs. If I had not ... prevented it ... he might well have married her." Somehow this "truth" which Mrs. Tyler seemed to think so unportant did not particularly snock or disturb Lora. After all, with Wades charm, why shouldn't a girl like Morgan have been attraded to him? But that was an so long ago. Why should it matter now, or be considered a reason for carrying on a feud? She went on to s point which interested her more. "Did you object to his marrying Virginia?' "There was a suddenly bleak note in Mrs. Tyler s voice, but a little to Lora's surprise she answered the question and with a ring of honesty. "I did not see that coming," she confessed. "The danger from Morgan seemed so much more imminet that I did not expect such a rebound." "But since Virginia was the sort to make Wade a good wife, why should you have minded?" Mrs. Tyler sat a notch- more proudly in her chair "It was hardly fitting Jason Cowle's grandson to marry a servant girl. The shock for me was very great." Lora felt a Hash of pity, for the girl Virginia. She was beginning to feel that she knew Virginia rather well. "At least her marriage could not have been as bad for you as if he had brought Morgan here," Lora said drily.
