PAGE FOUR EDITORIALS TRUMAN VIND?CATED r 'he most gratifying’ aspect. t.o Americans of the .stunning npirei viclm \ °f Truman over Dewey, in spite of .splits, antagonism, apathy and indi(Terri! svith in his own party, is the vindication by the American voter of the man who took a stand, stuck by his convictions, said what he thought, put up a magnificent fight against overwhelming odds, and won out. Mr. Truman has certainly gained in na ture. His influence with the American •people, and with a Congress which to the surprise of practically every body will have a clear majority of his own party, has-gone up tremendously. He lias receiv ed 4 mandate to go on with his program, inelpdhuv his attack on discrimination against minority groups of American citi zens to the extent that tin* Federal gov ernment has the power to eliminate such discrimination i The platform less States' Right.:; group has been shown that is has no standing ■outside the feu states in whit h sup pres, y ion of the Negro is regarded as the liigh-l est good, and the main business of so-cail-P! ed statesmen. Knowing they had absolute-1 Sy ho chance to win the presidency they! ha v* also been taught that they raunctL control the Democratic party. They liavefl failed in theii chief objective—the “pun 1 ishijng’’ of Truman; failed even in the! South to deprive him of tire great majorityJ| of the southern electoral vote. They havers had if demonstrated to them that even! Dixje has moved beyond the point where* an appeal to race- antagonism is a certain! guarantee of success, and advocacy ofj normal rights for minorities dooms a man to defeat- Not only should Thurmond and the ! P •jeci at-’ ha'-- learned this lesson. Th.e Pritchards and the Wilkersons should al so |now by now that they cannot build a. Republican party in North Carolina on tbeladvoeacy of outworn ecenomic creeds and racial ideas more backward than tbohe of intelligent native Democratic leaders of today. Truman was for prngrt-v. in human wel fare and human rights. Progress won the day. SOME ELECTION SIDELIGHTS Election returns from ail over the'na - tion reveal many things which are of in terest when one gets around to examin ing some of the side issues, after recover ing’from the amazement occasioned by Trliman’s unexpected v ie*ory and the amazing Democratic' capture of Congress. One result which s’ ould be a special * source of gratification to most readers of the Carolinian whs the election to the Se nate. from Minnesota if Hubert H, Hum phrey, mayor of Minneapolis. It was Mr. Humphrey who led the fight on tire floor of the Democratic convention in' Philadel phia last summer for a strong civil rights plank. Mr- Humphrey’s fight was success ful, as the Convention adopted the plank specifically endorsing President Truman’s stand and calling for specific civil rights measures. In Sena*or Humphrey, who de feated the Repu’ an incumbent Joseph Ball,-civil rights t U have a strong, vocal and courageous r fender and racial dis crirftnination an implacable and effective enetny. t t Another sidelig . is the apparent de feat df the bone dry forces in Kansas, old i ' THE CAROLINIAN Published by The Oaxoitman Publishing Co. il« Kiiwt Harvett St. Ruteteh. ft r the Post Office at Raleigh, N.

In a statewide referendum Kansas has apparently voted for state control of legal liquor. This result, unexpected at least outside of Kansas, is of interest in that it shows a trend opposite to that ob served in many places when.’ the people are becoming increasingly impatient with the liquor evil and seem to feel that legal sale of alcoholic beverages under state or local control has been a failure. There is no question as to Ihe great amount of waste and misery incident to the consumption of alcohol. The question is whether prohibition makes the situa tion better or worse, and here there is ground for honest difference of opinion. It must be remembered, however, that prohibition was given a trial on a national basis and proved ineffective. It is at least doubtful that statewide prohibition can hr more successful today than national prohibition was before the adoption of the “i ,i Amendment Tj-| 11) there is Mi 1 -<f» j*i’ rejection «>i a proposed amendment to the Constitution .if the state which would have allowed election officials to withhold the balled from persons not of good moral character [’he explanation was that is would Ire ■ good way to bar Negroes from voting, li goc, without . ayrnr that the amendment wcul.d have been apt- oved if that had been Ure- only puipos< tor which the pro p<i: ( ij measure • ould Im\p been used.

Conditions at the corner have improved greatly, and it is certainly a pleasant thought tht the change was made bet ore a major traffic tragedy occurred at the mtei section. That and the improved safely and convenience of the pecpD arc far more important to t-he CAROLINIAN than the question of the part played bv lliis newspaper in promoting the change. We note that (he City Council has ap proved certain proposals of the ‘ arohire Power and Light Company for move changes in bus routes, including some which will restore buses cm Fayetteville Street Most of the changes are being made- in the interest of improving traffic conditions downtown. That is al ( r, h ,} -’’ with us, but we want the Council and Die company to make some changes that will improve the service to patrons m <he Martin and New Bern lines. Spec ificall.v we want more frequent bus runs on these lines throughout, the. day. According to a statement issued by. the Carolina Power and Light Company itself the revenue from the Martin-New Bern lines is the third highest of all its lines. Yet any patron waiting for a Mar tin or New Bern bus can see any day flocks of buses streaking out on other lines while he waits for one going hit wav. and then stands in the bus after •waiting a third of an hour for the bus to arrive, That is the break that passen gers on the third most heavily patronized line in the city are getting, Why? ■■ Wlrnl S( loif ful Ihousliti I ?1 C, S>. m \\ r' t D.

His prodigious achievement was startling in ns mpact upon the consciousness of the nation that had discounted his chances of even makng a fine showing, ills own party only tolerated him at. Philadelphia when he was nominated over the protests of the political big wigs of power and influence. Even after his nomina tion, many of his party colleagues merely went through the motion of supporting him and conceded his defeat the November elec, tions The Republicans gloated over the political feast that wa~ set. before them in the deflc- Mon of the Dixterrats who miffed because Truman dared to stand up and he counted in favor of civil rights-for Negroes From the beginning let u> remember the issue lias never been one of civil right but. civil rignta for Negroes. But Harry Truman squared off for a finished fight and refused to “give a damn” for the Dixiecrats and their sympathizers. This civil rights stand was n-gardod as his political guillotine. Obsequies .had been arranged, flowers for the political funeral had been ordered, mourners hart hern invited: hut Harry Truman refund to play dead lx-fore what appeared to be unsummuntafblc odds. Instead of cry aba living and apologizing for his civil rights stands, he came out fight and he fought like a tigress in her lair lie whipped the the entire field. He grappled dtwith, and slew, defeatism .n the Democratic party; he felled a? with a Davidic •..month . tunc the Goliaths of weak-kneed loyalty on the part of Dtvtfi i atio .--vmpathizers: with one fell stroke he wrought eon drniation- m the Republican i anks as he performed the most dupendmi:. task ever undertaken by a man in the history rj the natum. Hr- great right arm brought vicory because his cause j v,pi i; her;uisc. he was threatened with political derfructionl foi no othn erunc than he dare -I. to uphold that part of the con-a •dilution m guaranteed rivjj rights for Negroes. " Th«- press of the ciuntry for the most part was again. 4 him; the commentators of radio fame were against, him. the polls were ag i'Y'. t bun, the might of the financ'd overlord*- of the nation w«-< against him. The people were for him. and he won one of the most signal moral victories •»! history. It is i very real truth that we cannot fool all of. the people ah flic time The goth congress showed what was on its mind and the electee-ate of the nation repudiaed them and rebuked them openly before the gazing eyes of current history. Since the poll sters and prej-.sjn.cn and commentators all barked up the wrong free, they arc trying H explain" their miserable prognostic? • ti-m But c ill of the ‘’explanation'* leaves out the* probable one. and that H. in the world and in this country there is a growing conviction that, right is the only might; hence a return to civic and social righteousness is the. only hope of saving Ibis world from destruction. All oviu this -country, south as well as north, there»is a grow jng v-o.nvif-ti-,-.n that holding the Negro down is too costly undei lsking The utter failure of the Dixie';?; movement is proof posi tive that the erstwhile solid south-solid against the Negro-is undergoing - tremendous change. When tin ‘''slate lights'’ appeal failed to stampede the south into the fvoids of Dixiocracy, we have what is in all probability the beginning of the end of po litical Negro baiting. The south is fast finding other ways to prove 'is greatness than by trying to defeat Negroes in their lawful aspirations to full-fledged citizenship. When Georgia fails to follow Thurmond, something mu. 4 be terribly wrong with Thurmond in his attempts to put ovr hi. state rights’ program which is no more than a keep-the-Negro down movement.
