EDITORIAL POLICY -

The editorial policy of the Bronze Reporter is to
teflect the thought of the Negro, to expose those persons and conditions -which prove cofitrary to the
Ainerican way of life, to protest acts or policies which
deny the Negro his full constitutional rights as a true
American.

The Bronze Reporter is a non-partisan newspaper.
Its main objective is to render a public service through | ~
good journalism and to this end, The Bronze Reporter
is faithfully dedicated.

2 BRONZE REPORTER, SATURDAY, AUG, 23, 1958

The Primary Voters. The August~ 8 Primary is history. Yet some interestin:
conclusions ean be drawn from the results. A close look
at the record will show that while this was a light vote~
city-wide, the predominatatly Negro Third Ward had the

highest voting record in the city: One-third of the -regis-:

tered voters went to the polls. In other wards the average
was 20-25 per cent. This is a record of which we may be
proud.

The old bug-a-boo that Negroes are not interested in
civic affairs and don~t vote was laid to rest in the August 5
Primary.

Let us hope that we will follow- through on this on
election day in November, and exercise our hard won priviledge. Negroes in the South today are sacrificing their
jobs, their personal security, even their tives for this priviledge. If you are not now registered, put your name on the
rhe today and be ready to make your ehoice on election

Democracy Victory

~The decision.of the U. S. Court of Appeals to reverse
District Judge Lemley and uphold the U. S. Supreme Court
in the Little Rock case is a victory for democracy. For a
while it seemed that the tide had turned and that we were
to be engulfed in a reaction of bigotry and mub rule.

The re-nomination of Governor Faubus was certainly
an ~affront to.rdecency; a clarion ~the world that the white
South remains un-reconstructed, unpenetent, uncivilized. |

This was followed by the acquital last week of a Mississippi Sheriff who murdered his helpless Negro prisoner
in front of witnesses. One might well have dispaired of the
democratic processes.

This week~s decision by the U. $. Court of Appeals
comes as a reaffirmation o democracy and a determination on the part of the American people to live up to the

_ high standards we have set for ourselves.

This decision means that the seven Negro students
will return to Little Rock Central High School and integration will proceed, as it will in countless other unsung places
throughout the South and border states. Places that will
proceed. this September in orderly fashion and. will never
make the headlines. This is the American way.

Little Rock and Legislature

If Faubus summons a special legislation session on
the U. S. appelate court ruling, and decision against a two
and a half year delay of integration.at Little Rock, there
is great. hope that the legislation will stand pat. The decision against the shame and disgrace of such segregation,
perplexity, and bewilderment must be disfavored and done
away with by the legislature. There is no need for delay,
which will only mean a dragout and perhaps a drop of
the case.

The publications which have taken the lead, by going
along with the supreme courts of the land, and with the
NAACP, which has gone to the battle should not let up.
And the people who read the papers should not get tired
of reading about what is going on.

It will. be beneficial to the Little Rock situation if
every Negro publication pushes the idea of Negroes everywhere in America registering and voting. If every Negro
old enough in Little Rock had registered and voted right,
the situation might have been better.

The infernal stewing would be cooled down, and the
boiling pots of old jim crow would boil not so hard and
continue to flame under political schemes, if every eligible
Negro vate had been cast in the last election. Votes have
no superiority or inferiority complex.

Faubus, by continuing to uphold segregation in the
public school, reminds us of Hitler, and his ideas of superiority and inferiority complex. Faubus on his no integrated
schools if he can prevent it, has impressed his followers
that they can evade the U. S. Supreme laws of the land,
and carry on their degrading customs, and traditions without arrests and convictions for their lawlessness.
