G. o. P, WHIPPED BY FILL
BUSTER, KILLS DYER BILL
White Flag Raised BY Senate Caucus

Washington, d. C.-SucceSs crowned
the hlibuster of senate Democrats
against the Dyer anti-lynching bill
when Republican senators in party
caucus voted to abandon the measure
completely.
The Republican majority acted after
the Democrats, by what is generally
conceded to have been one of the
most efficiently conducted hhbusters
N the history of the senate, had pre-
vented the transaction of any business
Tor the fourth consecutive Legislative
DAY. The obstructionist tactics of the
Democrats, moreover, were threaten
ing more than a thousand presidential
formations, which had to be con-
mined by Monday noon, when the
SPECIAL session ended.
Lets Majority Decide
The Republican caucus was pre-
ceded by a conference attended by
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,, the
Republican leader; Senator Curtis OF
Kansas, the Republican whip, and
Senator Shortridge of California, In
Charge of the Dyer bill. Senator
Shortndge, who has been unmovable
throughout the filibuster, was under
STOOD to have agreed at this confer
enee to allow the fate Of the bill to be
decided by majority caucus
The final decision. however, was to
direct Senator Lodge TO inform the
democratic leaders that the bill would
be pushed no further, either at the
special session or at the regular ses-
son This means the death of the
legislation. which the Democrats have
attacked as "a force biIl' and as nm
Constitutional.
Lodge Makes Statement
Senator Lodge made the following
statement on the Republican decision:
The conference was in session
nearly three hours and discussed the
question very thoroughly. OF course,
me Republicans feel very strongly, as

the brother" and wondered what
caused such great change in his
treatment of me, and it occurred to
me that he is at the head of a great,
big million dollar corporation and
at once excused him; because that is
usually the custom of some members
OF the race. When they are up
against it they will "eat out of your
hand; but, good Lord, don't let them
get on their feet" or even start to
get up, not saying nothing about
walking, and they won't speak to you.
The more money and the more sue
cess the "other fellow" has the more
polite and courteous he gets. Moth
ing "swells his head" He can stand
prosperity and enjoy it without mis-
treating his friends.
Remember, dear brother" that
you must and are depending upon
the general public for your success in
business. To get their patronage you
can't act stiff" You must loosen"
up a little. Cut that society stuff
out in business; that making a fuss
over Mr.. A. and when Mr.. B. comes
along, because he has on overalls you
try to snub him or treat him discour-
teous. You can't succeed at that.
Do you get me? All money looks
alike and so should all people when
it comes to business. Hear me,
brother, if you want your business
to prosper. This is some plain truths.
Did it ever occur to you, when
thinking of the young womanhood of
the race, what limited opportunities
are placed in the reach of young COL
ored girls who are graduating every
day from our schools and colleges?
There is hardly a door in the COM
mercial world open to them among
the white business men, unless It is
scrubbing or some cheap job that re-
quires little or no intelligence to hold.
And among the brethren" unless the
Almighty God has blessed them with
a fair complexion and flowing hair"
their road with him is rough, and
they won't remain very long. Their
days with him are numbered.
Oh, what a shamel Ability is the
thing that should count, and the day
is not far distant when it will have to
count If we as a race ever expect to
attain that high mark in civilization
that rightfully belongs to us. Awake,
folks, from your slumber; you are
still fast asleep. Am / right? You

POSITION FOR
CHURCHES ADVOCATED

"The church has been called the
church militant and we are distinctly
fighters" said Rev. DR.. J. j. Rae in
his sermon Are We Sane?" before
his congregation at the First Presby-
terrain church Sunday. Amid the
needs, greater than ever, of the world,
of our nation, of the cause of Christ;
we are fighting. In almost every
church a conflict is on. Do we wish
to join the ranks OF the contestants,
or is there a sane middle course that
the great, peace-loving majority can
take and ultimately win or shame the
fighters into harmony"
DR.. Rae reviewed the disputed ques-
tons of the virgin birth of Christ, the
inspiration of the scriptures, the plan
of creation and the second coming of
Christ. He showed the position of the
contestants and pointed out the sane
middle ground which, he said, is the
avoidance of extreme opinions, re-
spect for the opinions of others and
the striving for peace and harmony
among all peoples.
In conclusion all were urged to
spend their energies in the solution of
present-day problems and the uplift of
mankind.
