EDUCATION FAILS
“Education, whether of black man or
white man .that gives one physical courage
to stand up in front of cannon and fails to
give him moral courage to stand up in de¬
fense of right and justice, is a failure.”—
Booker T. Washington
These words of Mr. Washington are more
appropriate today than they were when
they were first written. They are more
appropriate because the spiritual aims of
World War II were more emphatic and re¬
ceived greater attention than those in the
first World War. This is true because the
enemy was a far more powerful military
organization. He had engendered a fanat¬
icism the world had never seen before. A
super-race philosophy had been indoctrinat¬
ed into the German people so that they
pledged themselves, and their all to their
leader, the fuehrer, and to the fatherland.
A shrewd system of politics ably supported
by military force, carried out the practice
of infiltration-fifth column tactics, which
made aggression the logical next step, so
that wherever Germans lived, the German
government sought or fabricated reasons
for placing them under protective custody.
Nazi influence vied with local governments
for ascendancy, once gained, it prepared
the way for military invasion, regardless
of-the Invaded. rights of the people whose country
was All of this filled the United
States and Great Britain with “righteous”
indignation. In the United States, a huge
.army was organized and was furnished
.with the most efficient weapons any army
ever had, and it received a wartime educa¬
tion with a peace time carry over. The
tinny was trained to face cannon as well
us to fire them.. Emphasis was placed on
total destruction of dictator governments
and the suppression of human liberty.
Kight and justice in the army itself, and
on the home front during and after the
war. were not in the courses of training
given by the army. There are men who
.have won the purple heart and Distinguish¬
ed Service Medals, who have excellent ed¬
ucation, who have good hearts, but who
are afraid to champion the cause of right
and justice for minority groups. There¬
fore* speaking generally, education has
been a failure if Mr. Washington’s assertion
is correct.
UNITY, YES
, Our plea for unity among Negro voters
gr^SMput of the realization that a large
number of new voters in the hands of un¬
scrupulous leaders, could be lead into the
very position opponents of Negro suffrage
predicted for them. We know that such
leaders were preening themselves against
the opportunity to exploit these new voters.
Thus we encouraged, as much as we
their organization under the soundest lead¬
ership that was available. The organiza¬
tion set up committees of trustworthy cit¬
izens to do its bidding, and to offer it di¬
rection and advice. These committees reach¬
ed certain agreements, which after adop¬
tion became binding upon all who cared to
go along with the organization. The agree¬
ments were reached by the surrendering of
personal opinion and wishes of the several
members to the consensus of opinion of
the group for the good of the group. The
opinion of individuals was lost or merged
into opinion of the group. This is the only
way to arrive at group agreement and ef¬
fective group action. The time to differ
from the rest of the group or committee is
when it is making an effort to arrive at a
conclusion. When, finally the report of
the committee is approved by the organi¬
zation, the only thing left to the dissenters
is to withdraw from the organization. They
thus preserve their right to their opinion,
and avoid the charge of infidelity, as far
as the organization is concerned. The wel¬
fare of group dictates the way to vote. The
so-called leaders whose consciences permit
them to accept funds from opposing can¬
didates do not concern us if they relin-

BALLOTS VS BULLETS
It is interesting that these two words are
so close m origin anu taut tney aie some¬
times used to acmeve tne same enu. ims
is particularly uue in countries wnere
tempera run not wnen governments must
oe seiecteu. in countries wnere uemomai-
ic practices are wen estaonsiieu, oanots are
used to cnange governments, m me coun¬
tries oi bourn America, it ireyuenuy nap-
pens tfiat ouueis are re&orieu to to settle
election disputes. in certain European
bullets have playeu a conspicu¬
ous part as aftermatns or preliminaries to
recent elections, notably in Greece and Italy.
Ballots, little balls were used in ancient
Greece to pass upon issues or elect oilicers,
but also tne word which means little balls,
is bullets. Both words derive lrom the
same Greek word “ballein'' which means
to throw or cast. From the original use of
the method of ballotting lodges, clubs and
societies make use of the expression,
“w'hite ball elects, black ball rejects,” hence
the expression to “black ball” to mean re¬
jection. , x
Among the differences between these
two words and their implications, one out¬
standing difference is that the force of bal¬
lots brings infinitely more security than
that of bullets. Governments set up by
bullets are insecure as is evidenced by the
fact that they have to be maintained by
bullets or by the force which they repre¬
sent. The reign of the Nazi in Germany
and of the Facists in Italy are cases in
point. Both Hitler and Mussolini were
surrounded by heavy bodyguards and se¬
cret police systems which kept opinions
contrary to the will of the dictators thor¬
oughly suppressed. Japan went further.
It instituted a regime whose purpose it
was to supervise thought. These are among
the trappings which are required to bring
security to governments in which ballots
are superseded by bullets. It is interest¬
ing that words so close in origin should be
so widely different and opposite in the
train of ideas they let loose. (CF) Athens,
Tenn. ,
After a government is elected by the peo¬
ple, democracy means that the verdict of
the people must be respected by the people.
To try and get rid of an elected govern¬
ment by violence or for the government to
get rid of its opposition by violence, that
is the very antithesis of democracy. It
is part of the democratic process to ac¬
cept defeat until that defeat can be revers¬
ed by constitutional means.”—Herbert Vere
Evatt.
DON’T QUIT
By Kuth Taylor
There are times when doubt and discour¬
agement confront even the most valiant—
when we seem up against a stone wall in
which there is no gate. We see no way
out of our immediate problems, and these
swamp us—mentally and spiritually.
Then is the time to stop and take stock
of the situation. To look at things in their
proper perspective, to see what in our own
thoughts is the stumbling block.
It was Shakespeare who said “Our doubts
are traitors, and make us lose the good we
oft might win by fearing to attempt.” Long
before him, Ceneca had said “A great pi¬
lot can sail even when his sail is rent.” To
both men the cure for defeat—for doubt
and discouragement—was action.
When those three enemies confront you
think not “What Can 1 do!” But—“What
can 1 Do?” t
There may not seem to be a way out
but there is always a way up. Pause and
look up. Turn your thoughts to the eter¬
nities. Pray not for relief but for guid-
ancei Still your soul for a while. And
then return to your problem.
Consider it not as a stumbling block,
but as an opportunity—an opportunity for
you to gain in strength in the solving. A
challenge to use your God-given intelligence.
If you tackle your difficulties in this
manner, you will be shown what to do. You
will be able—by first mastering yourself—
to face the issue squarely and to make your
own decisions honestly and wisely.
Be not afraid of the outcome. Your
fear is of your own ability, not of outside
circumstances. Have faith in yourself
and go ahead. Don’t be afraid of doing
too much, lt is better to wear out than
to rust out.
There is something you can do. Decide
what it is—and do it!
“Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when, you’re hardest
hit—
Jts when things seem worst that you
must not quit.”

LIEUTENANT MR WANTS FACTS KNOWN
JACKSON, Miss., Sept. 9.
(N NR A > —Although all the col-
ored persons who allegedly shot
down a nuarlet of nQiipfmpn
near Magee, Miss,,
in a local jail _______ near the __________ scene
of the two-day manhunt for
the accused, there was no talk
of mob violence and none 0 1
the prisoners was m.streated in
any particular, Lieutenant
Governor Field C. Wright told
the NNPA News Service 'last
Saturday.
in a letter to Robert
editor ol the B.rmlngh
Weekly and a columnist for the
NNPA Mews Service, whose
nephew, Bill Craft, a veteran,
was one of the persons arrest¬
ed, Lt. Governor Wright wrote:
“As you profess 1 6 be inter¬
ested in the truth and in giv¬
ing the true story ‘to the
world,’ I take pleasure in giving
you these facts and I trust
in turn, will do your part in
giving the story ‘to the world’
by releasing these facts
your NNPA News Service and
seeing to it that they are pub-
lished.
It so happens that I per¬
sonally talked with your nep¬
hew, W. O. Craft, after he was
captured by the officers of
Smith county. His own story
was given to me freely and vol-
untarily and under circumstan¬
ces when he had no cause
whatsoever to tell anything but
the truth.
The story as given to me by
him has been substantiated by
practically all of the witnesses,
both white and black. Your
nephew’s story is
as follows:
“Late Sunday afternoon the
Craft boys, five in
were riding on their
about the peaceful
armed with an army M-l
caliber rifle, two army carbine
rifles and a .22 caliber rifle.
These boys had been to
church and were going to
other. —
