Ralph McGill, in his column
recently, stated that Core did
not participate in the racial
demonstrations at the New York
World’s Fair. The fact is that
several hundred members of
Core were arrested and that
they demonstrated to such an
extent while the President of
the United States (their cham
pion in behalf of the civil rights
law) was attempting-to speak to
people gathered at the fair. In
the same week McGill, in at
tempting to propogandarize and
scare members of the Georgia
delegation in Congress into a
panic, stated that Watson said
that his stand on the racial
question kept him (Watson)
from having the reputation sim
ilar to Daniel Webster.
The fact is that Thomas E.
Watson started out as a liberal
advocating that the negro have
more voice in the government.
This was in the late 1870’s and
early 1880’s. Watson was a mem
ber of the United States Con
gress from the 10th district of
Georgia and was defeated for
Congress by the negro vote. This
so disillusioned this man who
had been carrying the torch for

। the negro that he did an about
face in his attitude toward the
I negro in politics.
The reason that Watson was
j unable to be elected to public
; office for many years was that
ihe ran as a member of the
Populist party and would not go
back to the Democratic party
until he ran for the United
States Senate about the year
1920. Watson died serving as a
United States Senator from
Georgia.
It would profit some politi
cians to consider the experience
of Watson and not place their
confidence in McGill and the
negro vote.
Mark Twain is famous today
as a humorist but he had many
talents other than humor. He
was very critical of newspaper
people like those who operate
The Atlanta Constitution. He
said it is a free press, free to say
j any untruth it chooses about a
I man in public or private life. He
i also said "that many stupid
people believe anything they see

that the newspapers do so much
harm. In the old days the news-

paper was a champion of truth
and decent morals and did in
deed print the truth. I mean the
average newspaper, of course
there were some bad ones at
that time too. It is a sad fact
that public opinion in America is
created by a bunch of ignorant,
self-praising, simpletons who
failed at whatever occupation
they undertook and took up
newspaper work on £he way to
the poor house.”
We are confident that the new
newspaper for Atlanta will not
be a calamity for Atlanta and
Georgia. The Atlanta Times will
be under the direction of former
Congressman James C. Davis
and we are sure that this new
newspaper will be of great bene
fit to the people of the State of
Georgia. Some people are gorw
ing impatient because The Times
has not yet become available.
Starting a new newspaper is like
building a house. You seldom
finish by your target date. We
predict that The Atlanta Times
will be on the streets within the
next 30 days.
The news media still is trying
to convince the public that the
civil rights bill is as popular as
a pie eating contest. First they
say they predicted that Gover
nor Wallace would get a very
small vote, then it grew up to
about 20% of the votes cast in
Indiana and after he received
more than 30% they said that
the vote didn’t amount to any-

serious trouble because he was

he won by a big majority.
