BUS PROBLEMS
We have received a copy of a loiter
addressed by Walter It. Slade, a resident
of Fast Raleigh, to the mayor, council and
city manager, concerning Inis service for
the oast end of the city. Mr. Slade stated
that the changes proposed by the Negro
Advisorp Committee, which would amount
to returning the Martin Street and Nov
Bern Avenue lines to the routes and sche
dules which obtained before the re-rout
ing last year, “would not improve services
except for a few patrons. ’’
We disagree with Mr. Slade’s conten
tion here; for obviously a change which
would restore bus service at ten minute
intervals throughout the day would be to
the distinct advantage of all patrons in
the s»rea.
However we do agree with Mr. Slade
when he says that anoHiei need, and a.
highly important one. is foi the extension
of both the Martin Street and the New
Bern Avenue lines beyond Tarboro Street
to the east. The writer of the letter claims
that 7b per cent of the patrons of both
lines live east of Tarboro Street, and it
is certain that a largo proportion of them
do. Mr. Slade proposed that the N e v
Bern Avenue line conitnue east on Oak
wood Avenue to Hill or Carver Sti m t
and then south to New Bern Awuue.
We think the t wo recornmond-ati<wis
might be combined. The old Martin
Street-New Bern Avenue loop could b«-
restored to give mo r e frequent buses
moving to and from the downtown sec
tion, and a t the same tine the loop could
be extended eastward, bringing the buses
nearer to the large number of persons
who live beyond Tarboro Street.
Another change, effected without no
tice, or with insufficient notice, has met
with tli- hearty disapproval of patrons
of the South Street. X a Bern Avimm
and Martin Street lines. That is the elim
ination very recenth of the loading -to>
for those lines at the corner of Fayette
ville and Hargett on e; -{N-rind buses
Fc v. Paul H. Johnson vexed the suspi
cions and other sentiments .of many pa
Irons on this change in letter printed
in the News and Observer of January 1 i.
The people are tired of all these ad
justments in the interest of motorists and
others, and to the convenience of fc re
paying patrons. It would seem that all
concerned with the planning of bus traf
fic have completely lost sight of the in
terests of those who ride the buses.
Wo think the bus company, or the city
authorities, or whoever is responsible,
should come forward with some explan
ation as to why these bus lines which
predominantly serve Negroes on the east
ern half of their runs, were routed past
the stop on Fayetteville Street, while oth
ers moving in the same direction were
not.
When She Carolina Power and Light
•Company sought in a special election
some years ago a renewal of its frart
ehise, it was as interested in the bus pa
trons on the east and south sides of the
city as in any others. When the present
city government was running for office
it displayed a great interest in precincts
10, 3 5 and 16. What goes on now?
ABOUT MR. BOST
Hundreds of Negro citizens of North
Carolina, and especially Raleigh and
Greensboro, heartily seconded all the ex
pression:- of praise directed toward Tom
Post by the Greensboro Daily News and
other journals on the occasion of Mr.
Best’s 70th birthday recently, in addi
tion many were little less than dumb
founded to learn that this vigorous man
has lived seventy years
Mr. Rost is among that none too num
erous body of newspapermen with a real
social consciousness. More than that, he

JOSEPHUS DANIELS
lu the passing of Josephus Daniels the
nation loses a great public servant and
North Carolina a great native son. One
of the last of the line of great figures in
the fine tradition of fearless and vigor
ous personal journals-an, Mr. Daniels was
respected by ally a u d adversary abk;
for his editorial integrity and for t h >•
courage with which both the new, and
editorial columns of his newspaper have
been conducted-for half a century, with
out lear or favor.
Negroes throughout the Cnited States
have honored the News and Observer
and Josephus Daniels tor the stand it has
taken against the Ku Klux Klan. ag,'tins'
lynching and against every evil and in
just iw which he recognized as such. Be
was equally outspoken in tavoi of cur:
cause he recognized as a good one.
An advocate oi States’.-, Bights. Mr
Daniels was also a loyal partisan, and < ■
sometimes had difficulty in reconciling
some of his older and more deep-rooter'
views with the later policies ot the Demo
cratic party; but he managed admiral)!;-,
to be a good party man without sacrific
mg his own personal beliefs.
Ho was u-tive in the move at the turn
of the century to eliminate t b c Negro
from effective participation in the poli
tics of North Carolina, hut bis attitude or
this sub joe was ivnuiitie-i over the yea?
following, and ii is quit* probable that 1
he regarded with regret om e of the
thing.- he -aid and did at that time whk i
tended to align h,rn with the wliile-su
proma'cy-at-any-cost lea dm-.
But Mr. Panels was always the courte
ous, kindly, courageous gentleman, the
crusader for the causes he legarded good.
He made the News and Observer an out
standing liberal southern now-pap 'W
which contributed immensely to the gen
oral wolf.-re, and to the betterment of th«*
Negro's status in North Carolina end tic
South. The- state and the section, anu the
nation as well, are all bettor off for the
Song life and active career ot Josephus
Daniels, sometimes described as “ Ra
leigh's first citizen.*'
GAINES DECISION FURTHER
CLARIFIED
Th- i Viied States Supreme ( • * icrt re -
told Oklahoma and the rest of the x-oTi (
that ii meant jus' what ;t -aid when * i
proclaimed that the states must furnish
the it Negro citizens with educations] op
portunities equal to those made available
to white- citizens. The court made it very
clear that the provision ot these equal
facilities is net. to be accomplished by set
ting up separate schools and depart
ments, either at the leisure of the state,
or by rushing through a jinn -crow make
shift intending to answer the letter of the
requirement- while calmly ignoring f he
spirit of the equality mandate.
The unanimous decision of the Court m
the Oklahoma case will have far-read)
ing effects, and may conceivably revolt;
lionize the pattern of graduate and pro
fession;-;! education in the South. It. ma.v
bring about, as the News and Observer
intimal. e d editorially, a rethinking
through of the w hole matter of graduate
and professional education in the South.
A more realistic, just and democratic ap
proach, and one taking into consideration
both the practical aspects of cost, and the
ideological aspects of r e ;t 1 equality ni
opportunity for all the people, is defin
itely in order.
Governor McCord, of Tennessee, and
others like him, are indulging in childish
talk when they say the South will close
its state schools rather than admit Ne
groes to iham. it. would be a terrible in
dictmenr of A murk an democracy and
common sense if it were true, and sober
reflection will reveal this to be so to any
not blinded by prejudice. Pacing the real
ities and coming up w ith a sensible, real
istic and j ust solution of the problem
clearly precipitated by the high court’s
decision in the Oklahoma case is what is
called for, and the News and Observer
probably expressed the best sentiment of
this state when it commented, j|*£>ubter
