PAGE FOUR EDITORIALS CONGRATULATIONS REALLY IN ORDER The CAROLINIAN is pleased to eon:- lpent in a laudatory way on the achieve iric-nt of the Ph.D. degree by a young North Carolinian. He is more than 19 years old. however, lie is 27. Blit his degrees are authentic. Moreover lie is minus a hand, lost in the war. The fact that he served his country during the war means that Ids achieving of the doc torate at. 27 is no mean accomplishment. After the hoax recently perpetrated by another young man it is good to an cover so soon an authetic doctor of phil osophy. the product of a small town North Carolina elementary and high school, and a graduate of A. and 'l'., the same college of w n i c h the spurious .young claimant to high scholastic attain ment is a graduate.

JUDGE HAS TOUGH JOB A Raleigh youth, already on proba • turn for a previous offense connected will an automobile, was recently placed • on probation after arrest for speeding ; down a street full of school children , He admitted the speeding -ehage, and ’ al.-.o that, he did not possess a driver's 1. wise. Yet he was given a suspened ■ load sentence on payment of a fine and : costs and put on good behavior. Police court judges have a hard job. i They must hear many cases daily. They must make decisions as to the disposi i 'lion of each case, and the range of • punishments open to them is limited, es | pec!ally for “minor offenses. I here is not much play for igenuity or imagina , tier, even if judges were inclined to use ;i< : , and must them, following prece dent and staying within the grooves of hi aw and custom, are not. Bat the- misuse of probation, a worthy • and sensible disposition in many cases, ■has tended to bring it under c rite ism ’iCertahiiy, in the absence of additional • information, this was one case in which probation was not indicated. The young 3 mail seems to be highly irresponsible, hand he had broken his previous proba tion. Whether or not he would h a v e ’.been made more responsible by a road 'term, NOT suspended, is admittedly ,open to question, but: the chances are s ■that he was not helped, and the protec htion of the public was not advanced, by } adding another suspended sentence to .the one he was already under. ! But, as we said, judges have a hard ijob, and writers of editorials like this i have a much easier one. t , CHIVALRY IN REVERSE i The punishment imposed on the young Gastonia white man who asaulted a, Ne t ! gro woman hotel elevator operator to jthe extent that she was hspitalized for ftwo weeks was very mild, considering ’the nature of his offense But the CA~ IrOUNIAN is glad that there was no (iquestion of his acquittal.

The Carolinian expressly repudiate* WiwmsibJifty for return of xmwiicltfid giettam woman, who never .should liavo boo n charged with assault, was properly ac quitted. The young people attending the ball foi the debutantes were doubtless on the whole well-behavt d, but. there were among them and many of these seem to have lodged at or found their way to the Sir Walter Hotel some whose pranks and worse exceeded anything (that might be explained by ordinary youthful exuberance, or even irresponsi bility. Among these was the youth wh * shamed southern chivalry and even or dinary manhood and decency by violent ly assaulting a female. He added further insult to injury by bringing or allowing coutercbarges of assault to be brought against his victim. His punishment was extremely light, considering the circumstances, but there are places in this country in which he would have been excused and acquitted and possibly even justified and honored, in the name of while supremacy. It is good at least to know that Raleigh and Raleigh's courts are belter than that. Certainly there is ample basis for civ! action on behalf of Mrs. May Hunt, and we h.ope that she will bring it. The newspaper stories of the episode do not indicate that the defendant ottered to pay the hospital bill of the injured wont an, or that the court ordered him to do so. He might have salvaged some little >1 expect for himself had he plead guilty, withdrawn his charges of assault against the defendant, and offered some restitu tion for the tangible costs of her treat ment and loss of time, not to rnenion her humiliation. In the absence of these ac tions on a voluntary basis, civil proceed mgs are definitely in order, ON AN OBJECTIVE BASIS The appointment by Senator Frank Graham of a Negro youth, Leroy Jones, of Kins’ oti, as an alternate candidate to West Point Military Academy, is an excellent and praiseworthy move. The detractors of Scnatoi Graham, who are fairly numerous and powerful, may try to make capital out of his act, but they null be seriously handicapped by th *■ fact that Jones won the alternative ap pointment m open competition, and that Senator Graham named him on the basis of his standing in the tests, having no previous idea of appointing a Negro as such. Senator Graham deserves credit, how ever, for adhering to the objective out come of the competition as he did, and going on to make the precedent-smash ing designation, knowing the unfavoi able reaction it would create in certain qua iters. It was typical of Dr. Graham. There is no one in public life today who more consistently does the thing that is right because it is the right thing. A word of congratulation goes from the CAROLINIAN also to tin- young alternate designate, who is in Raleigh attending St. Augustine’s College. He should be congi atulated in the first, place on lbs initiative in entering the competition for the appoitment, and se condly for his high standing in the ex amination results. He has added to the large and growing bod y of evidence that, given equal opportunity, the Negro can measure up to the highest standards. MAKE DISHONESTY HURT A diaryirmn was recently fined S2OO for watering milk to be sold to consum ers. This kind of punishment, far too commonly meted out to those who vio late laws for the protection of consum ers, is often a travesty. Jf the dairyman had been following the milk watering practice for any length of time, provid ing his volume of business was suffici ently large he may well have collected a great deal more than the amount of his fine by selling water at milk prices. The Raleigh Times suggests that a more appropriate penalty for the dishon est milk dealer would have been to de prive him of the privilege of selling milk for a time, or even permanently, if the circumstances warranted it. Certainly contributing to the state or municipality •part of the profits from dishonest prac ires is not a sufficient penalty or deter *>l Y 1 Aikir.b U - *-•- - ~ ...... - ... —-- THE GA tiOUN fA :N JKHKJ “A Civil Riglits Law Will Give Tlic.se, Words A Meaning leccnd lil Thcu&hts it BY C D.
