COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS
By SPECTATOR
I may summon witnesses in the best lawyer fashion and
use their testimony.
I quote some letters which I culled from a great New
York daily. The Wall Street Journal. The first letter is
from Long Beach, California; it proves that men of the
far west can be as disgusted with the Federal Supreme Court
as we Southerners are.
“The 1954 decision of the U. S. Supreme Court which
outlawed segregation in public schools may be the ‘law of
the land’ but its validity is certainly questionable.
“There are indications that the Court ignored the over
whelming preponderance of the arguments presented in
the case and instead based its decision not on law and the
Constitution, but on the writings of socialists and probab
ly on the personal views of the justices themselves.
“In effect the Court amended the Constitution and pro
ceeded to legislate a policy for schools, neither of which it
has authority to do.
“Such capriciousness is intolerable—the government
should act to nullify this infamous decision. The violence
might not be confined to the South if such usurpation of
power by the Supreme Court is allowed to continue.”
Letter number 2 is from Washington, I). C. and was
written by a lady.
“When the Supreme Court made racial segregation uncon
stitutional at the expense of local responsibility and self-
government, they no doubt believed they were contributing
in an important way to the welfare of Negro children. The
opposite appears to be the case.
“Race prejudice, whether polite distaste or bitter hatred,
is something no law or court can alter or control. It is ele-
. mental. It creates the mob, mob violence, unreasoned and
uncontrollable, with personal attacks, dynamiting and de
struction of the social evolution already achieved in racial
relationships. And into the seething vortex of this bitter
conflict, the Supreme Court has thrown the Negro chil
dren. Why take it out on them? It is surely an adult
problem—not one to inflict upon children.
“Racial integration must necessarily be voluntary, worked
out at the adult level, and should begin in the churches.
Until Negro and white can sit side by side before their God
in Christian churches, and willingly send their children to
integrated Sunday schools, they are not ready for forced
integration in public schools where Negro children will in
evitably be snubbed and humiliated day after day by juve
nile prejudice over which no government or court has the
slightest control.
“What the Supreme Court has accomplished is the putting
of revolution, force and violence in the place ot the marve
lous evolution in racial relationships that has been going
on in the South for generations. It has destroyed local
self-government in the.North as well as South by declaring
the Constitution unconstitutional. At least it so appears to
those of us who believe the Federal Government including
the Supreme Court has no authority over the people ex
cept that specifically assigned to it by the Constitution—
which does not assign education.
“And if that is contempt of court, the court has brought
contempt upon itself.”
The third letter is from Schenectady, New York, a very
live and popular city.
“Your editorials are usually in accord with sound Am
erican principles and philosophy but the one entitled ‘ 1 he
Way to Madness’ seemed unworthy of your accustomed eru
dition and patriotism.
“One sentence in particular seems to epitomize the pro
found error that is now a grave menace to the continued
existence of this federal union of sovereign states. The
sentence is: Tn any ultimate clash between the powers of
the state government and the Government of the United
n : l

States, there can be no doubt as to the resolution.’ *
“If you mean the resolution according to the Constitution,
I agree with you. But the resolution according to the Con
stitution will depend upon the issue involved. If the issue
is concerned with an authority that has been delegated to
the Federal branch, then the Federal branch must prevail
according to the Constitution. As an example, in all cases
of foreign affairs the Federal branch must prevail. But
when the issue involves a case in which no authority has
been granted to the Federal Congress but has been retained
by the states, then the state or states must prevail.
“In the present struggle over the educational system we
must note that no pow’er or authority is granted to the
Federal branch over any such system of education as may be
established by the states. Hence any attempt of officials
or agencies of the Federal branch to give orders concerning
the educational system of the states, or any threat of the
use oi force to carry out such orders, is a usurpation of
power and a violation of authority.
“The Tenth Amendment provides clearly for the division
of authority between the states and the Federal branch of
the government and this is the basis for the checks and
balances between them. In its realm the Federal auth
ority is superior but in the realm of the sovereignty of the
states the states are superior. If 1;his w r ere not the case
the system of checks and balances between these powers
would be without meaning. And if the system of checks
and balances is destroyed, then one of the great contribu
tions of America to political philosophy will have vanished
and we would be faced with a centralized tyranny or some
other worse fate.
“Y'ou deplore the use of force by Governor Faubus. Why
not deplore the initial use of force, or the threat of it, by
the action of the Federal court?
“Any usurpation of power is the first step toward tyranny
and the Federal judiciary has gone far beyond the bounds
of reason and law. It is time that the system of checks and
balances be put into operation by the states. All of the
states should be on the side of Governor Faubus and of
Arkansas.”
The great city of Schenectady, I recall, is on the New
York Central’s line from Buffalo to New York City. Passing
through it years ago I thought of the story of the big busi
nessman of some smaller tow r n who dictated a letter calling
a meeting for a plush hotel in Schenectady. The secretary
asked “How do you spell Schenectady?” “Oh, call the meet
ing for Albany,” replied the big Chief. That proved to be
the solution. But over in the imperial Sovereignty of Geor
gia they call Albany “Allbenny.”
I quote The esteemed Edgefield Advertiser, the oldest
newspaper in South Carolina, one that comes out each
week with a live editorial page—all on book paper, my
brethren.
Says The Advertiser;
“Congressman Dorn in his speech before Congress in
Civil Rights legislation quoted the late Senator William E.
Borah of Idaho who, when speaking against Federal Lynch
legislation back in 1938, said:
‘Let us admit that the South is dealing with this ques
tion as best it can, admit that the men and w r omen of the
South are just as patriotic as w^e are, just as whiling to sac
rifice for the success of their communities as w 7 e are. Let
us give them credit as American citizens and cooperate whth
them, sympathize with them, and help them in the solution
of their problem, instead of condemning them. We are one
people, one Nation, and they are entitled to be treated upon
that basis.’
Senator Borah was one of the all-time great of the
United States Senate, When he died w'hile in the Senate,
this country, from one end to the other, w 7 as sorrowed and
felt deeply the loss of guidance in a time w'hen great wis
dom is so much needed.
Senator Borah was no New r Dealer, but always spoke wdth
wisdom and conscience and w'ithout political impediment. He
stood apart as a great American statesman of all time.”
Sam Wiemer, the capable and news-loving editor of “Live
Wires,” (which is a handsome and informative monthly of
The South Carolina Electric & Gas Co.) tells a story of old-
time honesty and virtue. How’s this:
“HONESTY IS STILL WITH US—Note the date on the
service bill shown as Oct. 9, 1.931; then note the kwh used,
SuO. and the net charge $7.20; both are important. One
day late in August, a young man came to the customer serv
ice office at 1309 Hampton. He presented this bill and ex
plained that his mother, in going through some old papers
had found it. She recalled quite distinctly that they had
moved, discontinued service, and completely forgot to pay
this bill. He paid the visit to clear up an account that was
26 years old. Yes, honesty is still with us. Today, 100 kwh
on our present residential rate, w'ould cost just $4.03, half
of the gross charges in 1931. Nothing more need be said
about the cost of electric service coming down while prices
of everything else have gone skyw r ard.”
