CONVENTION

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan, II. - The
tenth annual session of the Omega
Psi Phi Fraternity was held in Atlanta,
Ga, on December u to 81, inclusive,
at ? p. m. The National Basileus
sounded the gavel, and twenty-four
chapters responded to the roll call.
The conclave was an epoch-making
one. II was the largest ever and the
most successful.

lanta by Brother DIR. Bowen, vice
president of Cannon School of Theol-
ogy. The main speaker, DIR. w. NJ.
Pickens, who delivered an address on
The Value of Group Respect was At
his best This address was adjudged
to be his most mastcrful.
The music rendered by Miss White
and the Omega Psi Phi Quartette re
oeived the commentator of all the
musical critics present We do not
hesitate in saving that the impression
we have made in Atlanta will serve to
break down the iron-olad hand, and
gain recognition for Greek letter fra
ternities in the various schools
The joint meeting with Phi Beta
Sigma in order to promote corpora
ton of all Greek letter fraternities IS
worthy of the highest praise. We
went on record as favoring Hellenic

Newspapers In
Comment On
Lynch Bill

NEW YORK CITY. Jan. 2l.-The
National Association for the Advance
ment OF Colored People, 20 Fifth Ave
nue., New York, has announced that a
number OF important white newspapers
in southern states were lending their
editorial support to the Dyer Anti
Lynching Bill. II r. Is.
The Florida Times-Union OF Jan
uary O. says:
we regret very much to see South
erners opposing the Anti-Lynching
bill now before Congress. We are as
great a sticklcr for state rights as any
OF them but surely no one will claim
that il is the right of state TO per
NIT murder. We would not have the
federal government take charge OF the
enforcement of criminal laws IN the
states, but this is case where the
states are unable TO enforce the law
as it should be enforced and the fed
eral government would be better able
TO enforce IT, We therefore believe
this matter should be handed over to
federal jurisdiction"
Another southern newspaper, the
Greenwood, ). c, Index, says:
We w tlGA hA+oH 0AAg tttiitb dbpht
the constitutiouality OF the proposed
Federal law but II IS a step toward
checking a growing and most serious
evil"
The Association also made public
extracts from an editorial in the New
York World OF January 8. 1922, in
which the World accuses the South
ern Democrats opposing the Dyer
Anti-Lynehing Bill OF having given
away their case"
Says the World.
The most deadly blow ever struck
at those rcs'duary rights and powers
OF the States since the beginning OF
the Government is the Eighteenth
Amendment, and for that TACT the
South and its Representatives at
Washington are most of all rospon-
sIble They cared nothing then for
State police power and all that The
more completely 1t was destroyed and
merged in the Central Government 50
far as prohibition was concerned. the
better they we're suited. They turned
their backs on the most fundamental
principles for which they and their
political predecessors had stood since
the time OF Jefferson and went bag
and baggage over to a position that
even the traditional part Of central
ization would have repuliated as un-
thinkablc hardly half a dozen yeas
ago
And now they are loudly talking
State police power against a little
Anti-LynehnR Bill whose whiting
down INVASION OF State Jurisdiction Is
not comparable for moment with
that effected by The Eighteenth
Amendment It is TO laugh and this
no doubt explains the great good ma
ture with which the Republican side

Sport Models
Speedster - Sport Touring

THE Sport Models, Speed
L ster and Sport Touring,
complete the Dixie Flyer
family, browning with distinc-
ton the efforts of Dixie
Engineers.
These cars, constituting the
latest acquisitions to the Dixie
line, are true sport models.
They reflect the ideas of in
vigorated, red-blooded youth;
characterized by individualism
without a trace of freakish-
ness.
The Speedster is a two-seat-
er that is given a racy appear
ance by special body design,
lowering of seats and inclin-
ing steering column and wind
shield. 1t is equipped with
removable, collapsible top
which is stored in the dust and
weather-proof rear compart-
ment when not in use.
The Sport Touring is a five
passenger car of surprising
roominess with low-hanging,
one-man top jutting over the
sloping, nickel-trimmed wind
shield. A design that satisfies
the ultra fashionable and yet,
a car in which the family of
modest taste feels at home.
Both Speedster and Sport
Touring are deliberately pro-
vided with special equipment
that beauties and contributes
to the exceptional car value in
Dixie Sport Models. Alumi-
mum steps of attractive design
are substituted for the conven-
tional running board. Uphol-
