PAGE FOUR EDITORIALS SENATOR FRANK GRAHAM ' rovvniar \\. K< it Scott produced a real nrpr> , when ho appointed Dr. Frank Graham to ’.he S- nate to fill the vacancy created by the death of Senator P-ongh tmt, sj ut. it was the kind of surnrisi or.- receives when one gets something mult bettt-i* than one had any hope of getting, A1 least the genera! 'varGon m North ’Carolina seems to be that of pleasant surprise, and a cheek on those chagrined by the appointment is likely to reveal what a fine choice Mr. Scott so unexpect > edlv made, rather than otherwise. A man * lin Dr. Grahams position can lie judged j not only by {he mimher and qualih of * ' his friends and admirers, and there is no i more- <>r widcdv beloved man in North (’a \ roiira'Mian I'residm’f Graham, but he can ; be ain-'-.;,: as acmirab-ly as;-essed bv the type of his enemies and opponents. ! Frank Graham ;« ertainly one the great , t'j'i of contemporary North ( indinians, in ability, in m, aracter, in simplicity and in ' tegrity and in devotion to the bleats of ; Christianity and Democracy. He will he * ojJt.Gamiing in the Senate nr a true states man anmng a group made up largely of j M * politicians and part-time .statesmen who < are more devoted totbe practice of poli tics than to the constant pursuit of states ; manship. lie will be truly a rep resell ta - live of the best southern thought, because J as a citizen of the nation and the world and a- a sincere U Hover in iruth and jus life he will always place .sectionalism in it proper perspective in all his words i and deeds. I he new senator is one of the finest; * examples in America and the outstanding one in the South of a man who holds the } esteem >f the people without the slightest t lain’ of demogogmery. His uncompromis ing stand for justice in all human relations ; and his unswerving maintenance under s fire of hr own high ideals, have ond- arod him t : as -oris and conditions of men. and .one - t lings of which North Carolina > van bo most justly proud is iha ! it has )••>- ’ fused bi let anyone undermine its admire.- ; tion and respect for him and confidence i in him. i No greater tribute could be paid him ■ by the Negroes of North Carolina than tins, almost without exception they would • say that if every member of Congress ■ were another Frank Graham they would t be content.. The appointment is a credit t Governor i Scott, who has again shown his indoprn ‘ deneo. his good judgment and Ids unortho . dox attitude- toward the responsibilities of - ids posit on. Ife has honored himself as • well as Dr. Graham in his choice. What s it- that makes Dr. Graham great? Above all t i c, even his demostvat j crily great abilities in many fields, it : ; that he can be depended on to do what. | Frank Graham il inks is right, without i i'idliger"me, without bombast, but wh.h --• out fear. He is modest, judicious, conc.il j iatory. He does not look for fight.-; ho ‘ loves peace. But he lives on good terms, ' not only with his intellect, but with his ‘ conscience, I he senate wil be graced bv his pres- J 1 one e. a % LET THEM GO ON RECORD There is lamentation in some quarters i over what seems to be the una void abi liter l ■ ot a vote m Congress on the veteran pen \ si on bill so vigorously sponsored by Con , gi-essn.an Rankin. In these quarters it is ; felt that the majority of the members of • Congress are at heart against this huge » raid on the 1 . S. Treasury which would • be an increasing burden from year to j year on the tax pa vers and the American ! -economy. But-there has been a change m Cthe House procedure which makes if • ■much less easy for the Rules Committee * 'to bottle up undesirable bills, including , those that Congressmen don’t want to be i .forced to vote, on, for fear of offending f ■ the folks at home, or at least the more 8 ’ articulate and better organized groups of -1 those folks. J There are others, however, who fee! J little .sympathy, t■»■ ih« emigres.-, n.-.w who wish they could duck the issue becair e their consci-mce and common sense would dictate a vole of “no" wniin expediency might urge them to vote “yes.” ') hex think that legislators ought ,r - be coura geous enough to -land up and hr counted on viCd issues. The way to do fr,H I'D Rankin's mi wholesome measure is to •- d.e li du\s o when it comes up. No one should and few would oppose any reasonable measure to. taking care of veterans of any of ear wars. The whole country favors the com pletely adequate care of all di-abbai vet era -' and them oili er rewards to which veteran - are entitled by their wivin' :•> their -"im-rv But a blanket pension at a certain age, m .ad dition to bene tits tira ; <«{y provided under Hir Social Security \- ' and under exist • liic V'ierans’ legislation, and without so gard to circumstances or need, is obvious ly class legislation of the most unjust i fiabe nature. And that is what. Mr. Kan kin.’-. bill prniioo s. In this move ! abott'. d Ks certain Hwt;oir- ol some \ei mans’ organizations, led mostly by vet erans of Wor'd War 1. This leadership is motivated largrh by the old and f album ous philosophy that. everyone ought to get out of “the government" all it can, and that what is got out of “Gw govern ment” doesn't cost anybody anything.. A child should know better, and the vet erans would share in the cost ,oi Mr, Kan kin's scheme right along with all other citizens and taxpayers. And who isn’t a 1 ax payer no wadav s ? NOT ! NWS. BUT ENFORCE MEN 1\ REAL TEST The lower house of the Texas state le gislature recently passed an anls-lynching bill. Tie bill was expected to pass the state senate and receive the signature ot the governor, all of which may have been accomplished by now. It passed tne house of representative ; by a v-ie »\ IK > to 1. The bill carries penalties for lynch mob sters of from five years’ imprisonment to death, so no one can quarrel with the substance of the law as being too lenient. The only question is, it there should be lynehings in Texas, would there be indict ments, com ictions and sentences under the i a w ?As in all southern states, lynching,s in Texas are today rare occurrences. Lav, officers are more alert to prevent lynch ings, and public opinion in the South has changed greatly'in the past generation to the “pen .'..-My" of lynching. The real remaining problem is the punishing oi lynchers when lynchings do occur. The Texan who introduced Hie bill in his legislature is said t" have explained that it vvoud forestall {).<• taking over by Congress of a date responsibility. It would be a fine tiling if no other l.MV’hing ever occumd in T» t" t-st the wil lin cm of Texas to exmvbe it.,-, own rsponsibility under its own law. But should such a lew unfortunately arise, emuietion and pun ishment of the mobsters would be Dm only way by which Fexas could pa -s tha test. Southern opponents of a federal anti- Jvncfling law often argue that the lodeiui government has no more right to jurisdie tion over lynching than over any other felony. They mention rape ami m ml as crimes with which the states, deal, and nipiv that there i - no more reason lor federal interference in the case of lynch ing* than in murder and rape cases. When the state.- deal as promptly, posi tively and severely with lynchers a- they do with Negroes accused and convicted of capital crimes like rape and nuirdc. perpetrated against white persons, there will lie no question of the adequacy o; the states to hund e lynching and lyneb ers. They are a'd very tar from Lkaf point yet, arid some arc farther than others. THE CAROLINIAN Published by The Carolinian _ Pubdshing Co. lift Kant Rartfctt f>t.. Ralnijth.
