C SATURPAY JUNE 8, 1M7 JUSTICE HAS BEEN SATISFIED As far as we are. concerned the case against pf. H. Whitfield is a closed iastie. Mr. Whitfield wan tried in a regulffr authorized K)urt of this coimtiy and fAund guilty of the eharpes brought against him by a young Negro, and a fipe placed on him as pun ishment for'the offense.*' We^ believe justice has been satisfied and are willing to let the flatter rest where it is. ^ The Carolina Times, on*the other hand, can nA see the wis dom in the defendant taking an appeal unless he is doiug so as a matter of protecting his job as a member of pfllice force of the city of Durham. If that is tiie purpose then, however use less an appeal may appear to us, we are not unmindful of the fafit that the police officer is doing what the average humon being would do when acting in self di^fense. The four days suspension, we' feel, is sufficient punishment from the heads of the police department. We know there are those who would like to see the officer dismissed from the police force forever, but with them we do not; quite agree. There are many things to be considered before such drastic ajCtion should be t^en. - ^ ‘ ' Kelto; lir Write ^ Most white people of Mr. Whitfield’s ilk have not had the advaihtage. of much education. Their opportunities for cultural development have been limited, hence their self control is more often that of a six or eight y^r-old child wlio is not always re sponsible for its outbursts of passion. Mr. Whitfield no doubt has been taught ,/rom childhood that Negroes have no rights wh^h he should respect. We are not afraid to surest that he has had little educational advantages, and very little contact with peoplis of high intelligence. What officer Whitfield needs most is sympa^y from all people^ and not "^inucTi Whdemnia-* st^t. tion. We surest to Uie police department that the mark aptinst" his record be entirely erased.- T© discharge hira^ would only mean the aaployment of anotber person who might be even worse in tnnperament and conduct. We think Mr. Whitfield is a better man because of his experience with the courts. KOCKErEULC^ ' AND ARMSTRONG jrphn D.

C0N6RATULATIGNS DOCTORS The Carolina Tim^ is glad of the opportunity to extend con gratulations to the Old North St«te MMical Dental and Pharma ceutical Association, on its fiftieth anniversary.

LIQUOR IN HAYTI It is most unfortunate that the state board of liquor control has seen fit to place its disapproval on employing a Negro per mnnel in the liquor store to be operated in the Hayti vSection of Durham. - ~—___ 'h The many jobs which Negroes are barred from holding in the Btate^nmke it aJm(»t mandatory that members of the race be given an opportunity to work among their own group when auch an opening occurs. The Hayti Uqut)r store will have a 99 per^-ceht Negro patron; age, it will be located in an entirely Negro commtinity, and we can not see why the liquor control board objects to the stcnre being operated by a member of the race, unless it wants tO'ln-: ereaae the number of unemployed Negroes. ’* There are hundred 4>f Negroes in Durham who can more than fill the qualif^tioiu and if given an opportunity we believe tJjtar. will be able to manage the store as well as any memW of the opposite group who will be placed in charge. Certaiidy a 'Negro personnel would better understand handling the colored patrons than white people. • * r If Negroea j^ "aaceeigrfully openM^ bank§, insurance cwn- pasks, re^ er^te eoiA|||||^ drug stores, cburehes, haspitate aad vhat not it appei0^^|||||gi^gt »omewhere within the race is one or two who can n^mte*a I^feor^^re.

His first intention was to contri* bute that amount dir^tly to tSe educaitioa of the NegiM, but under Mr. Washington’s persnasion the Foundation was establish^ for ^roader educational purposes.
