THE ANTI-LYNCHING BILL.

The report to the senate by its
Judiciary committee recommending
aau uthe
the passage, with certain amendments
of the House anti-lynching bill, is a
voluminous document which surveys
the issue involved from every con-
ceivable angle, The constitutional cues
ton, which is the principal one raised
by those hostile to the measure, is
examined exhaustively, and the com
notice declares itself as follows.
What ever process of reasoning is
adopted, or whatever provisions OF
the Constitution are relied on, we hold
that the proposed legislation is appro
pirate legislation to cure or prevent
the veil of lynching wherever in the
United States and subject to the juris-
dicdon thereof that evil exists"
IN emost forceful citation, of course
81 that familiar clause of the -Four
teenth amendment reading: Nor
shall any state deprive any person Of
life, or property, without due process
of law, nor deny to any person within
its jurisdictin the equal protection of
the laws. By the final section of this
amendment ii is made mandatory on
Congress to enforce dts probisions by
Appropriate legislation" 1t seems a
simple proposition that where life,
liberty or property-in this connec-
ton the first specifically VIGOROUSLY
do not enjoy the equal protection of
the laws, the federal government may
and should intervene to remedy the
failure or neglect of local authority
Court decisions and the opinion of
distinguished publicists sustain this
view.
Fundamentally the anti-lynching
bill seeks only to make effectual in
every state the principle that Ameri-
can citizenship should be what by the
law of the land it is presumed to be,
a SHIELD of protection as well as
badge of honor.

NEED MORE LAW ENFORCEMENT
INSTEAD OF MORE LAWS.


The familiar announcement comes
from Washington that new laws are
being drafted and existing measures
modified, all for the purpose of pre-
venting future strikes"
AS a matter of fact, are any new
laws necessary? If they are necessary
is there any assurance that they
oculd be enforced any more easily
than those already ON the statute
books and flagrantly violated every
day the strike continues under pre-
sent condition?
No strike could strangle the ma
TONS business If men who are not
only willing but eager to work were
protected in that right Is there an
intelligent man who denies the right
of men to earn a libing? Is there an
intelligent man who can successfully
deny that hundreds of thousands OF
men are being denied that right a.
the present time?
If that fundamental right, grounded
in common justice, guaranteed by the
foundation principles of representative
government, fortified by decisions of
the highest court in the land, cannot
be maintained, and it is not being
road strikes. viii anything be
gained by heaping more laws upon
those which are now being flouted
by the strikers and ignored by the
lawenforcing authorities?
These questions arc being asked
daily by thoughtful and Disputed
students of the situation. Inalienable
rights exist They are an indissocia-
BILE part of the Legislation and the
jurisprudence of the country. Yet they
are successfully, porsistently and de-
family abridged during these strikes
and they have been successfully, per-
sisteny an defiantly denied in every
important strike.
If some method could be devised
whereby constitutional guarantees
could be proved what they purport
to be, that laws are enforceable and
that when a man boast of being free
American citizen he has something
back of his boast, Strike problems
would be solved
If the right TO work is not guarded
as vigilantiy and effectively as the
right 10 strike, then no law, no deci-
sion Of court, no guaranty of state
or the federal Constitution, is more
than scrap of paper.
That is the problem confronting
the states and the nation. not the pro
mise of new or revised laws to pre-
vent future" strikes. New or revised
laws may prove effec'ive-if they set
tie or prevent strikes on strikers
terms. But why not enforce the laws
already on the statute books and make
decisions of the Supreme Co'i Of the
United States and the highest trihu-
mails of the several States something
more than were academic expression
of opinion, casually handed down
from tn ecool remotness Of benches
high above the places where mobs are
robbing American citizen of their
vested and fundamental rights?
The law must reach down into the
fierce arenas where men are batting
and dying for the right which is de-
Med them. That is the place that must
be reached. There is where the real
problem is.-Kansas City Journal.

< x < FINE START IS MADE IN
Y. M. C. A. DRIVE

The Young Mems Christian association cam- paign to raise $70,000 is already assured of success The generous response made by prominent citizens and firms of Birmingham is proof of the associations value to this con- munity and shows an appreciation of the great work it is doing.
 It was first proposed to raise $5o,ooo. The figure was increased to $7o,0oo, and we may judge by the progress recorded in two days, this amount will be collected before the week is ended Contributions ranging from $500 to s2,5oo have been coming in rapidly. More than 17,000 was subscribed in advance.
 The money will be used to make payments on the purchase price of large outdoor camp, to improve this property, cover the indebted ness on the central building and provide for other needs. Two hundred acres of land and a lake of 26 acres were recently bought by the association, which will develop a recrea- tion center on large scale, where it will be able to contribute to the health and enjoy. ment of thousands of men and boys who can- not be served at the central building. This is a most progressive step for the association to take, and will be of inestimable benefit in years to come.
 What the Young Mems Christian associa- tion has done for Birmingham cannot be esti- mated in dollars and cents. It has promoted clean living. Its influence is felt in i'm proved citizenship and taste for the right kind of recreation.
 The association will never make an appeal for financial assistance that Birmingham will refuse to grant A donation to such a worthy cause is more than gift. It is good in- vestment which will pay returns in many ways helpful to the city and its people.

AFTER THE CIRCUS

Raymond Holden, in the Yale Review. l can remember how the memory Of fat-hipped women and strong chalky horses And men in red and gold hung heavily From rafters in my eyes, how other forces Recruited among peanuts and popped corn Marched in my middle I remember how A miserable sense of having worn Too small hat, that my dizzy brow Reeled in the settling dust behind the mare As we rolled homeward up the river breeze, Pursued by blasts of trumpets and the glare Of white lights hanging among high trapeze Yet, for relief, have still more in mind How a great bird I never hoped to see With wings like winds of storm that beat me
 blind
 Flew up and startled both the mare and me. So great the power of it's sudden flight The very day was altered and my brain Burst from its bonds and followed the sloped
 light
 On through the naples to the bird again, And then the look of clowns and the blare of Was gone and something came to the roads
 edge.
 And the breath of it blew petals to the grass And it took me in it's arms and sang a pledge I have not yet forgotten into me. So much for circuses for any event. The coming away is the reality. The coming to ones self is what is meant.

SHINGLE MANUFACTURERS WILL TURN ON ENEMIES

Announcement is made by the National Lumber Manufacturers association that it pro- poses to begin vigorous warfare against those who have been traducing the good name of shingles for roofing, and to bring before the public the many advantages of shingles over probably be merry war, because the public generally is well aware of the inroads that have been made upon the shingle industry by other roofing interests.
 The lumber men claim the warfare against them has gone so far that the restriction or prohibition of shinge roofs by municipal or dnance has been successful in 136 cities and hostile ordinances are now pending in 37 other cities. In California the us of this material has been prohibited by state law, while the lumber men were not watching, and similar statutes are pending in Ohio, Michigan, h. diana and Minnesota.
 The lumber men claim that the fight that has been made against their product has been very unfair. For instance, one of the basic objections made to shingles is danger from fire, and yet the figures of the national fire underwriters show that during period of five years fire losses from sparks on shngle roofs were only 8 II per cent They further claim that while wooden shngle will ignite more rapidly than some of the so-called fire resis- tive roofs, the latter burn more fiercely when finally fired, and that combustion in them is much more difficult to stop and their fire conveying qualities when dispersed by wind are much greater because the particles are 50 muck more tenacious of fire"
 A large campaign fund has been raised to assist in combating what the shingle men term "mere selfish commercial exploitation propaganda" The chief points in favor of the wooden material which will be emphasized are: Cheapness, superior durability, high de- gree of insulation, resulting in retention of heat, important factor in house warming and fuel economy; ease of laying, capability of artistic treatment and simplicity of re- pairs.
 The outcome will be watched with interest because of the magnitude of the interests in- volved, for no one can have failed to note the enormous growth of the composition roof ma terial industry in recent years.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
HONESTY IN TORONTO

Birmingham could learn at least one thing from Toronto," said c. c. Greer of the w. B. Folmar 6 Sons Insurance agency, who has just returned from business trip to the Canadian metropolis.
 q was particularly impressed with the fine spirit of orderliness and law observance shown by the people of Toronto. While We are so much troubled with murder, thievery and other problems of law enforcement, it was refreshing to find great city-twice the size of Bir- mingham-where people apparently live in peace and harmony with each other.
 "By way of illustration, I have q large jewelry store crowded with customers with thousands of dollars worth of precious stones displayed on the counters. The stones were not under glass; and noticed that cus- walked to the door to examine them by sum- light, apparently without any oversight, ex- cept that of few clerks who were always busy, and who frequently were facing in the oppo- site direction. Walking through the business district at night I saw thousands of dollars in diamonds in the various show windows. This is not-seen here.
 "While I would not swap Birmingham for Toronto by any means, I merely mention this to show that while we have the finest city in the world, there one or two things that we could learn from other great centers. Law enforcement, is, I think, one of our gravest problems"
