As One Editor Sees It
NJ. NEGRO EDITOR SAYS RACE MAY
LOSE MORE THAN THEY GAIN WITH
PAID AGITATORS PRESSURE GROUP
With the election over in Georgia, perhaps a sane and
reasonable approach to race relations will be attempted
by our newly elected officials.
Most Georgians believe that Georgia Negroes want
to retain segregation and if given the opportunity of
choice will choose “seperate but equal” facilities.
The following article appeared in the July 29th edi
tion of the Moore County News of Carthage, N.J. We
believe it substantiates the populai' opinion that intelli
gent Negroes do not want “Northern-style intergration”
in the South:
Well-Known and held in high regard by the Negroes
of Carthage, where he has visited, is Davis Lee, publisher
of the Newark (N.J.) Telegram, an influential and widely
quoted Negro newspaper.
What Davis Lee thinks about segreation, therefore,
carries weight in these parts
“The efforts being made by certain paid agitators and
pressure groups against segregated schools in the South
may cause Southern Negroes to lose a lot more than they
will gain,’’ he said.
“The trouble with this group, as with similar ones, is
that the initiators don’t count the overall cost to the race.
The present effort is designed to destroy the whle pat
tern of segregation, and to establish an integrated social
order in which there will be no distinction made in this
country on the basis of race, religion, color or nationality.
“This is a laudable objective, but human nature just
has not changed that much, and the achievement of such
an objective could cause repercussions that might set the
Negro back fifty years.
“Integration in the schools in the North and East is
not a howling success. A Negro can attend most of the
schools up here and get an education, but few of the states
that educate him will hire him as a teacher. The State of
Connecticut doesn’t have twenty-five Negro teachers.”
Lee then cited New York City, saying it had been
found that “a systematic scheme has been adopted to ex
clude Negro teachers.”
“Nowhere in these integrated states,” he stated, “do
Negroes get anywhere near proportional representation.
“This is not true in the South. The State ( f Georgia
employs 7,313 Negro teachers-, and paid them close to sls
- in salaries last year. Noith Carolina paid its Negro
teachers over $22-million last year. Florida is another
state that ranks at top on teacher pay.”
Lee added that if fenced to give up segregation these
Sputhern Negro teachers in the South would lose 75 per
cent of its Negro teachers.
“This present movement to end. segregation in the
schools is merely the beginning of a well laid plan to com -
pletely end segregation in everything in the South.” he
asserted. “If this happens the Negro will be thrown into
direct competition with the white race, and our business
-institutions will crumble.”
This is part of '■ ' at Lee wrote. In condic-kn he raid :
“No place in the wo; hl do '.egioes own am; control as
much as those in ' <;i!: do. De spite all Hie hullabal • ■
about the liberal North and East, no Negro has been made

“LET US REASON TOGETHER”
3y Rev. D. A. Lastinger, Retired Methodist Minister
RESPONSIB ILITY: R-E-S-
P-O-N-S-I-B-I-L-I-T-Y—this is a
big word. It has a big meaning.
Could you define it? It may be
you never tried—that is, very
hard. Webster says it is “A state
of being responsible, account
able, or answerable, as for a
trust, debt, or obligation.”
Responsibility lends dignity to
life. If responsibility did not at
tach itself to you what kind of
creature wiuld you be? We can
not attach responsibility to a
rattlesnake, a skunk, or an idiot.
Something so emphatically
marked and distinguished in hu
man life and experience as is
responsibility must have a firm
basis: and, if so, we ought to be
able to find that basis. To be re
sponsible creatures and to know
nothing about how or why
would be unthinkable.
Thinking from the viewpoint
of personal experience we come
quickly upon the fact of CONS
CIENCE. The sense of OUGHT
is there. We cannot escape it.
Therefore, we are compelled to
accept the IDEA of responsibi
lity. Even a rattlesnake, a skunk
or an idiot, if he could reason
to a sense of OUGHT as a fea
ture of his being, woud be en
tirey aware of his responsibiity.
Beyond question we are crea
tures of responsibiity. To whom
are we responsibile? Is it our
self, our family, our neighbor,
our country, the world? Yes.
We are a part of the whole.
Hence, we are under the neces
sity of assuming our individual
share of responsibility and obli
gation..
Is there One more to whom
we are responsible? Yes, to God.
This answer includes all the
others. He made us in His image,
endowed us with distinguishing
features of our existence, and
crowned us. with honor. He is
supreme, and TO HIM WE WILL
CERTAINLY ANSWER.
In the light of your responsi
bility to God your response is
between you and God. By your
very course of conduct, and by
all your attitudes, you are giv
ing your answer to God.
All your responsibility is based
upon your OBLIGATION to
God. You give Him your answer,
and by Him you will be judged.
Would it not be strange if He
failed to hold you accountable,
and to mete out final judge
ment?

five little words. But they have
sublime meaning. They are a
brief declaration of Paul’s deep
and consuming passion. To rea
lize the indicated experience in
his own heart he was willing to
count all other things as loss,
and as refuse.
Christians profess Christianity.
But Christanity is not a profes
sion. Christianity is an experien
ce. Eliminate the experimental
characteristic and you have but
a vain and empty profession.
The mark of the Divine is all
that gi^es it value.
Men need to know, and ought
to know, all they can ABOUT
God. To this end they ought to
read and study most reverently.
For knowing ABOUT God the
Bible is tne finest and most per
fect source of instruction.
If we are to be saved it is
not enough to know ABOUT God.
We must come to KNOW God.
The Christian’s God is not the
God of a book. He is the God of
experience, the God we know in
our heart. We have surrendered
our lives to Him. Therefore, we
are conscious of Him as OUR
God, and of ourselves as HIS
CHILDREN.
To know God is the indivi
dual’s need, and the Church’s

needs for us to know God. Com
