An ‘A ? for History
Hodding- Carter said a lot of things last night—and
proved that it could be done without expressing an opinion.
We’ll have to take our hats off to Mr. Carter; he is an
excellent historian, and knows how to put the historic back
grounds of Southern problems into perspective. But he ap
parently has decided that to put out the historical facts is
as far as he should take things; no opinions can invade the
sacred facts. People, even the majority, cannot vote on
facts; they can vote only on policy based on facts.
On policy Carter is a self-admitted “middle-of-the-
roader”—what is described as a “mugwump”: his mug on
one side of the fence and his wump on the other.
No doubt what the famed editor said last night would
be controversial in his home state and city. But we were
disappointed, which might prove nothing except that the
State of Texas has paid more attention to the problems of
segregation than has other parts of the “Deep South.”
The best part of his speech was the emphasis on the
freedom of both sides to hold and proclaim their beliefs. He
said, “The strait-jacket of conformity is a menace to every
aspect of American life.”
How true, but as was the rest of the speech, how often
said before.
Of course, we realize and endorse the view that freedom
of speech should be brought home to everyone. So no real
condemnation on that point.
But still we were disappointed, for we had expected
more out of a man with the reputation of Hodding Carter.
He said nothing, not even his jokes, that was not old news,
which makes it strictly history.
Independence can be carried to an extreme, as can the
middle-of-the-road. It’s better to have an opinion, plus an
open mind that can adjust the opinion to fit the facts.
So, Mr. Carter; you made an “A” in history, but failed
your problems course last night.
Well, Mr. Smarty, who knows
a good way to clean clothes with
gasoline. . . . Maybe next time
you’ll send them to —
