PAGE FOUR EDITORIALS BLOUNT AND HARGETT GETS LIGHTS The City Council has authorized t h e inii.allaticm ,us traffic lights at the corner oV 51 dim! a net Hargett streets. For near b ’-v >.\-ars the CAROLINIAN has car* rir I on through its editorial columns a campaign for Cue installation of traffic lig .ts at that corner, so it was with real gi ification that we learned the news .th the City Council had finally come to th. coneluusion that the traffic situato at Blount and Hargett warranted lights. As soon as they are installed the traffic co geation bo common on that corner will 1: alleviated, and the safety and conven ic 'e of both motorists and pedestrians v. be much improved. The city government has also author ize d the installation .of lights at Fayette vi'.'.e and South streets, another corner badly in need of them. The city admini stration deserves commendation for its fiction in these two cases. Now that the City Council has turned its eyes cast maybe it will also take a look at Moore Square, the only public square or park in Raeigh without any benches or seats of any kind, and prob ably the only one of its. type anywhere without any seats. The reputation of that part of the city in proximiy to Moore Square is certainly no-worse than that of the environs of Nash Square. Nash Square was dressed up with WPA or PW A money some years ago, but Moore Square does not yet even rate a bench. Let us hope also that the City Council will soon get around to doing something about the atrocious service on the New Fern Avenue and Martin Street bus lines. Tie pep in In East Raleigh use the same kind of nickel as those in other parts of tie city, and they ride the buses in great numbers, as is evidenced by the fact that b mdees are common on those lines in midday. Let. the Council see that East Ra leigh gets the kind of service it deserves. STRANGE BED FELLOWS, and all that John A. Wilkinson, Republican candi d .te for U S. Senator, has appealed ch ctiy to the Dixiecrats for support in the T >vember election. According to a press 2 port of a radio address made recently l ,*. Wilkinson asked the States' Lighters I, vote for him, because no suppoits then £. :i nd on the Civil Rights legislation, and Localise he is “unafraid to take a stand i >r the great principles of free enteipi*sc i: which you also believe.’ The national Democratic party has fc en accused of angling for the Negro jte when it advocates civil rights for c rizens regardless of colon*. Now we see • Republican angling for southern white < .-Democratic c utes by declaring his op- I , s ;tion to the Democratic platform. Tct the Dixiecrats will also be on the ballot in North Carolina, though probably they will not have a candidate foi 1- b. n atoi:. The Negro is faced with the altei native of voting so Candidate Brough ton, who, according to the Negro pm has been up in Virginia speechifying about the “fact" that race relations are better in North Carolina and 'Virginia than anywhere else in the United Si a or Candidate Wilkinson, who apparently does not want any Negro support, since he is seeking to line up the Dixecrats by showing that he feels about civil rights just the same as Mr. Thurmond. There never has before been an tion year like this one, and may ere never be another one. THE CAROLINIAN Published by The Csrolmian Publishhu. Co.

Dr, Bundle was in the nows because as chief of the United Nations Palestine secretariat he has suc ceeded the slain Fount Bernadette in charge of i.iso I nited Nations mission in Palestine which is trying to bring about peace between the Arabs and the Jews. We wonder how many reader.-; of the 'Times and other newspapers carrying the item realized that Ralph Bundle b a Negro? If is photograph does not neces sarily reveal the fact. Dr. Bundle us one of those Negroes who have achieved positions of trust and im portance purely on their personal merit and in open comp, tition. For a number of \ ears he was connected with the U. S. State Department. He is an outstanding scholar in a field not often entered by N egroes. The significance of the recognition giv en Dr. Bundle lies in the fact that it has come to him not. as a Negro but us a man well fitted by native endowment, educa tion and experience for the work he is do ing. He had the vision and courage to seek a career in a field that appealed to him. He refused to assume that as a Ne gro he could not succeed in a field sel dom entered by Negroes, and by sheer excellence has made others forget or ig nore his color. Some years ago Dr. Bundle was the Negro History Week speaker at St. Aug ustine’s College and Shaw 'University. ANOTHER NORTH CAROLINA “FIRST” According to figures released by Fed ora! authorities, North Carolina led the rest of the nation in the number of ag gravated assaults during the first half of this year. It is an unenviable record. North Carolina is also making a record for her self in homicides, with Harnett County sotting the pace. That county recently reported ten homicides so far this year. It also seems that recently there has been a vogue in this state for slaying members of one’s own family, wives knocking oft husbands and vice versa, not to mention children and parents. Os course it is true that despite all this display of violence the vast majority oi North Carolinians are mild, amiable and law-abiding. But the fact remains that statistically we are a violent state, and that things are getting worse instead of better, at least temporarily. What is the explanation for the high incidence of crimes of violence in North Carolina, as compared with other states? It is not racial, for a detailed analysis will show that whites and Negroes alike are shooting, cutting and stabbing. Violence increases after wars, but the whole Unit ed States was at war, not just North Caro ’ lina. One possible contributing factor is the high consumption of alcohol, and especi ally “bad” liquor, in certain sections of ,our population. Obviousy another must be the failure of our churches, schools and homes to teach the proper respect for the human person, or to reach with their instruction a lot of people. Suspend ed sentences and light punishments dealt out, to those who shoot and cut but fail to kill may be a factor. We should reflect that every person who assaults with a deadly weapon with intent to kill is a po tential murder, and by the very fact of his intent is only by accident not guilty of manslaughter.

OCTOBER 2, 1918 H’ —r:: between 71 BV DEAN B. HANCOCK FOP ANP THE HACKS STRONG RIGHT ARM VvTn.-n l arrived upon Virginia Union's beautiful campus 27 year.-, ago fresh from study in two of the famed eastern univer sities, 1 vvis not particularly differtn from the current quota of leach e i n. uvn.nf; the colleges for the education of Negroes throughout the south. Above all I was motivated philosophically rather the.>t economically, and ■> proceeded to offer an elective in history of philosophy. The Uny young men of that college generation itv-timed such a course with consuming avidity. Although 1 knew the old joke that philosophy study is ‘like uni.;a blink rr.uv in a dark rc.«m l-wking i'o a black cat that i: « not there ' J realized then as now that life in us basic' analysis is philosophical. Philosophy is so engaging because it discourses upon many questions that the human heart raises even though such leave the questions too often sadly unanswered. The question then as now as to whether tho world is getting , better and the reasons tor cur conclusions was deeply intriguing. One of my "irrefutable'' proofs that the -world is growing better always stemmed from the fact that so much fault, could be found with the world. If the world were as bad as it is and everybody were satisfied with such world, it would be tragic indeed: but so long as everybody is conscious of th» sins and fol lies and evils of the world, the said consciousness can always be offered as proof that the world is getting better, because a man must •■(.•£• himself a sinner before lie becomes a fit candidate for The point 1 am trying to make is that the present confusion in t;i* world is serving but to call attention to the evils of the wt-rid and these evils mud be faced before they are corrected. The Dixk-eratu. resurgence in the south will m the end prove to a bit;sing, for it bring.; into the light a moral condition that * needs co section sorely It is far better to have the travail and have it. over with, than o go on indefinite, falsely believing that the inien m. ial millenium is just around tho corner. i: the Negro quails before the challenge that the Dixie;rati , movement hurls into hi- upward path, he proves recreant to his p; omise of other years- When an army meets a temporary reverse it reforms its forces and regroups thorn and i eturns to hot -tray There can be little or no doubt that what is transpiring in south .a pre.-vrt is going to make .some difference in tire plans of Negro leadership which will call for great strategy and resourcefulness. But the all -important fact remains that the color question has been found, into the forefront of political and economic matters in this country. and as suggested in a former release, this is itselt. a victory. Wh. i to dr- about the sub-citizenship of the Negro has been forced upon ti.< agenda of the nation.
