Enurea as second Class Matter at the Post
Dllice at Savannah, Ga„ under tne Act of
March 3, 1919
“The Negro does not believe in equal but
. separate facilities because, while he has
seen them remain separate, he has not,
except in the most unusual situations,
witnessed equality. He does not believe
in segregation from which discrimination
is lacking because he has rarely experi¬
enced it. In countless instances he has seen
the segregation laws used as the shield
of humiliation, exploitation, and oppres¬
sion. It is not difficult to understand
■his aversion to them.’’
Former‘Gov. Colgate Darden
DERELICTION NO. 1
The decision that the people of Georgia
made on Tuesday is what the majority
of voters desired and it places on their
shoulders a grave responsibility. They
are obligated to demonstrate that the
decision is for the best interests of all
the people of Georgia; that progress in
the state’s educational: structure will go
on unchecked; that the guarantees of de¬
mocracy as a way of life and government
will be strengthened. However one dis¬
comfort ing fact stands out: a consider¬
able number of people, most concerned in
the meaning of Amendment No. 4, have
failed to have a part in making this
tremendously vital decision. They were
either ignorant of or indifferent to its
importance, or they do not value suffrage
as a means of expressing worthy and re¬
sponsible citizenship. It is inconceivable
that any literate person in this city, coun¬
ty or state could be ignorant of tne duty
or privilege responsible citizenship places
upon him. that he could be unawar > of
what he >ses or surrenders because he
refuses to qualify as a voter,ready to par¬
ticipate in the government of his city,
state or nation.
Wo hayy been pleading for Negroes
here to organize themselves so as to count
in the political life of this community.
Put up to this moment nothing has oeen
done beyond the talking stage. The
tragedy of the thing is not that the neg¬
ligence. ignorance and unconcern on the
part of near-vagrants, and the frustrated
reside nts of congested and neglected aveas-
forgotten deople-contribute to the sad
situation we confront here in this . oun-
ty: it is the attitude of many who are in
the position of leadership. It is with
painful candor that we admit that some
of our preachers and school teachers,
and others who should be leaders, are not
nualified voters. In a community free
from any restrictions whatever, there is
no excuse for this. There is no way to
teach or interest our 15.000 Negro resi¬
dents in this city and county in what
their civic responsibility is. if our leading
citizens fail to set the example of respon¬
sible citizenship. Dereliction No. 1 in
our community is the failure of six or
seven thousand Negroes to qualify as
voters. Before the removal <~if the noil
lax as a requirement for voting and be¬
fore the U. S. Supreme Court outlaw¬
ed the white primary, Negroes clamored
for the right to vote and now that they
have it. only fifty per cent of those who
are qualified to vote take the trouble to
do so What in the name of common
sense is wrong with us?

them. We dislike to think that there
are officers on our police force who per-
friit the question of race to enter into
the performance of their duty as “the
guardians of civil rights, the protectors
of the weak, and defenders of the inno¬
cent.”
We do not believe the people of Savan¬
nah condone brutality on the part of po¬
licemen. We believe the Mayor and the
Chief of I oliee will deal with the matter
in an impartial manner if they can find
out the facts in the case of Zeke Ander-
son. We are not so sure this will be
easy to do. The Officers in the case filed
their report. Whether the testimony of
two eyewitnesses of what occurred within
tiie house and that of two witnesses of
what occurred outside will be acc 'pteil as
of the same sort of integrity as that
of the officers.will be important. If Police
Officers recognize that “they represent
the official conscience of society; that
they are the custodians of justice at the
everyday level, where it is closest to the
ordinary person.” incidents like The one
under consideration would not occur, ex¬
cept linger circum-taw-w < mte different
from those surrounding this instance
where rough handling is required. The
outcome of this case will affect the fad¬
ing of security any Negro family in >ur
city may have- It is fair to assume ihat
if unprovoked assault can be made on anv
Negro family with impunity bv nol'ce of¬
ficers no Negro citizens can feel secure.
THE PRESS AND THE SCHOOL
The school pages in newspapers and ar-
tic ! ;s in magazines indicate more that
the press is furnishing a public service
to the schools; more than that it furnish¬
es a medium for publicising this or that
school, this or that educational theory.
The press is realistic and has an eye on
both community or region it serves..
Newspapers are interested primarily in
having a large circulation, a large Hum¬
ber of readers. They know that people
like to read about themselves, their chil¬
dren and their friends. They know or
believe they know that many people look
fo them for information and guidance;
that the higher the literacy of the pop-
u if ion. the larger the number of readers
«nd advertisers they have, hence their
interest in school® The Chamber of
Commerce of 1he United States has pub¬
lished a brochure titled, Education An In¬
vestment in Peon'e. in which is compiled
statistics and information showing the
high correlation between education and
the general welfare of the country.
Among many othe>; things it rev o, ds that
10 popular magazines have three times as
many subscribers per 1000 population
where the education levels were highest
(11 to 18 years) as states where the ed¬
ucation level was lowest (7.5 to 8.5 rears).
The same sort of correlation exists be-
tweep ioea' education levels and newspa¬
pers. A survey made several years by
two of our schools showed some inter-
ostin" thing®, one of which was that "om-
naratively few of many families repre¬
sented in these schools subscribed to a
ne\vsuar*n\ white or colored. This •>o-
counts ui a measure f or the anathv and
ignorance shown by Negroes in matters
Hr t ire of the deepest concern to them.

■hools for from them must come our

THE SAVANNAH TR1BCW*
Here And There
By Willa
SEC LYCEUM SERIFS
The piano recital
by Miss Evelyn V. Giant on
Thursday evening at
State College was a high
in in the the cultural cultural entertainment entertainment
the college and the city of Sav
annah. Dr. c. A. Braithwaite
chairman of the fine arts de
partment at SSC, in introducini
Miss Grant, described her a<
l ' the little lady with the big
oiano.’’ It was a fascinating
experience to watch the
artiste who weighs Jess than a
hundred pounds as she played
the the most most, difficult. difficult numbers n „miv> n of
the old master composers. Her
artistry ranged from a faintest
pianissimo to a thunderous for¬
tissimo; and her technique
Tom a “slower than slow’’ to a
' faster than fast.” Miss
is a native Savannahian. The
, 'ai'JP attendance of her city
friends at, this recital was most
j encouraging.
Tribune readers are invited
to attend the next program in
the College Lyceum series
which is scheduled for Thursday
evening, November 11 , at 8:15
o’clock in Meidrim Auditorium.
Admission is free.
:ACCIDENT
j Usually, an undertaker is
called to the scene of an acci¬
dent. Yesterday, Wednesday,
was 1 he other way around. A
young woman lost control oi

drove into the chapel doorway
of the Sidney A. Jones Funeral
Horn? The driver was slightly
‘ injured but a passenger the
on

| about, the face, requiring hos¬
pitalization. In less than a sec-
ond after the accident, Herman
Flowers, an employee at the
Funeral Home, drove the com-
fortable Sidney A Jones am¬
bulance to the scene and the
accident, victim was on the way
to Georgia Infirmary for prop¬
er rare. T.ie Mercury and build¬
ing were damaged, too.
