Our Country Right or Wrong WHAT THEY THINK OF HARRY'S BILL The political bondage of the South has never been more clearly demonstrated than in events of the past few weeks. Chagrined beyond measure at the outspoken anti-southern pro- gram of Harry Truman, southern Democrats today realize with shame the small part they have come to play in formulating party policies and to recognize the harsh fact that they are held in utter contempt by the northern Demo- crats that the once-boasted loyalty of the South to the Democratic party has boom- eranged to the disservice of all our people, ..--.. ; .- -Durant (Miss.) News. J'K%". AI23S iWa ww ow2,M anao i a It is becoming increasingly evident that we dare not entrust the next four years of our presidency to either Harry Truman or Tom Dewey. 'They are both politicians first and statesmen second. In order to win the radical vote, which includes the northern negro vote, and the chance to build a negro control in the South, they will sacrifice American and south- ern civilization. The so-called civil rights bill is not a racial question primarily, but the etec- tion of a federal dictatorship over the 'states, which, like the first reconstruction, will en- able the negroes with a few white scalawags to dominate the South. This is especially dan- gerous now because the Communiist elements are able to dominate the negro mass vote. -Jacksonville Chronicle. The- South's blind and unswerving support of the Democratic party is a political puzzle that defies explanation, especially in view of the step-child treatment it has received during the past two decades. Traditionally the South votes for anything that carries thq Democratic label, and saddles its senators ang represent" tives with the job of recruiting Republicani sup- port to defeat the administration's anti-south- ern legislation, _.-. * .!!n '"-'-~ -Muenster (Texas) Enterprise. A Washington dispatch quotes a Democrat in Washington as sayiiig that not only has President Truman no intention of withdraw- ing his recommendation for the passage of civil rights legislation affecting the South, but that Senator J. Howard McGrath, the national Democratic party chairman who is to speak in Atlanta gt a Jefferson Day dinner, will stress the necessity of passing such legislation in his Atlanta speech. In other words, the party pro- poses to come down here and cram it down our throats. Yet we will have to continue to stay in the party because there is no where else for us to go. -Greenville (S. C.) Observer. We'll see if Mr. Truman can win without us. Apparently he cares nothing about the South. Let's adopt the same attitude toward him. We have never gained anything'from the D)emo- cratic party. What, in heaven's name, can we lose by getting out? -Pell City (Ala.) News. If our president and Democratic leaders in- sist on carrying out his policies we can see no other course than withdrawing entirely from a party which is determined to trample us and what we stand for underfoot. In fact, we are not so sure but what it would not be a bad idea to withdraw from the party anyway, since this same question hhs repeatedly come up and the South has been forced to live with this threat over it-s head so long that a just and right solution now or in the future seems very doubtful. -Bishopville (S. C.) Messenger. Harry Truman's racial equality war cry was just what all the governors south of the Smith & Wesson Line have been listening for It gave them an excuse to fly to Florida in Feb- muary. Don't get excited about the threatened rebellion, 1 larry can carry oil on both shoul- ders, and pour it on the troubled waters like a cornfield nigger spilling 'lasses on flapjacks. \Vhen the southern governors get to the White House, H-arry'll be wearing a flowing nmus- tache, a goatee, a Stetson hat and a Winsor tie and be sipping a mint julep. He'll drawl, "Good mo'nin', you-all." Then he'll explain that he wrote that racial equality speech in good old mid-west American, and the repudiation of "\white supremacy' crept iii when his White House interpreter translated it into Harlemese. That'll be what the political descendants of Jeff Davis want to hear. So, they'll believe ,it. -Kingsville (Texas) Record. Senator Taft, a candidate for president, showed courage when he voted against the fair employment practices commission, biill. The Ohio senator declared that the compulsory features of the act would "do more harm tnan good in the end to the negro race." He then gave utterance to a coQncise bit of wisdom when he added: "Race discrimination must be discouraged on a voluntary basis through edu- cation, not by compulsory federal action." That probably wasn't a politic statement for a man who is seeking the Republican nomination for president, but it shows that the senator has an old-fashioned idea that it may be better to be right than president. -Tampa Tribune.

SPEAR OPTOMETRIST APALACHICOLA, FLA. *4 Eyes Examined Lenses Duplicated Glasses Fitted Fire At ord Garage Gives Editor Heart Palpitations The fire department for several months past has been sitting around getting lazy and fat, but during the past week or so it was given a bit of a workout. The call of greatest interest to the editor was that at the St. Joe Motor Company Thursday evening ol' last week. Vic Anderson had phoned us earlier in the day that at last our n.Iw flivver had arrived, and we were duly elated after wvait- ing for two years for that word. About 40 minutes later the fire siren so-unded and when we phoned central she said it ,was at the St. .Joe Motor Company. We were bhor- lialed! Were we to lose our car be- !ore we got it? We left for the scene of the possible tragedy with our coattails flying (if we'd had oni a coat). Seems that the acetylene tank on the w-lding outfit at the garage had .exploded with a roar that had been heard for blocks. Our new jaloplpy had 'been sitting aill)Oni ten feet frcm the tank but we were in luck, for the flames from the. tank went out at an-angle from the car. And while thler-, were sev- eral other cars in the shop under- going repairs, the only one yanked out in the alley was ours (we hadn't paid Ott.o for it yet). Capt. and Mrs. N. Murphy, visi- tors from up north, guests of Capt. and Mrs. S. Stewart at Mexico Beach, had their car 'being worked on at the time, and force of the ex- ldosian blew his pipe out of his mouth. But to get back to the other calls :iniNwer,'d by the fire department: It was called out Wednesday of last week to the Cook apartnoents at tihe corner of Monument Avenue and Sixth Streetwhere an oil stove \-ploded. Little damage resulted. Tuesday morning at 6:15 the fire eddiess were called out in the rain to Shirey's Motel. where- a gas leak was ignited, when an electric heat .1i was switched on the apartment of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Barr. Outside of scaring the daylights out of tlhe Barr menage, little damage resulted Bill Trawick Named To Head Legion For 1948 At the last meeting of Willis V. Rowan Post 116, American Legion. the following officers \were elected for the ensuing year: W. M. "Bill" Tra.wick, commander; Vic Anderson, first vice-conmu.ander; Ralph Rich, second vice-commander; C. Arthur Lupton. third vice-comm wander; F. E. Trammel, fourth vice; W. A.

A district meeting, is to be held at Tallahas.see-on March 21, and it is planned to have the new officers installed at tnat time by Broward W\illiams, comrnrander of the sec- ond district. ENGLISH (Continued from page 1) efforts to expand and improve fa- cilities for it must be continued. "The basic foundation for such a program is now the law." he. l e- elared. "Only a governor whose heart is in education can provide the leadership to insure the perma- nence and expansion of a school, program that will .illy equip oIri children to meet tthe future with confidence and skill." Briefly sunminarizing his accom- plishments as state superintendent of prrblic instruction, he pledged to "give the state government the same efficient administration I have given to the state's biggest busi- ness-the .public school system."
