Political Spotlight
C. E. Rucker

Louisiana treated the nation to
! political spectacle, the like of
which has not been seen since car
1et-bag days. AS usual, it conferred
bout curly-haired, pug7nOsed Sen
tor Huey (Kingfsh) Long, who,
waving his long arms, shouting,
weating, swearing, gave orders
which few LOuisianans dared to
,efy. The outcome of this rough
md tough battle for revenge and
power, the struggle of the Long pD-
litical machine against Mayor of
New Orleans Walnsley's hencl-
men, brought forth the nation
al guard, the police, machine guns,
radio, and bad names. Hucy Long
was out to break Mayor Walms-
ley's hold in New Orleans. He had
his cOwed Legislature pass laws
making him absolute dictator of
Louisiana. His henchmen were in
complete control of the electoral
machinery. Huey Longs entire
ticket went through without a
hitch and with comparatively little
blOOd-shed, thus adding another
star and much prestige to Ameri-
cas- most colorful politician. Ten
men Of Huey Longs ability and in
fluence, dedicated to the interest of
securing for Negroes their right
full heritage, would get an Anti
Lynching bill through Congress
and a Presidential signature.
Orchids for South Carolina vot-
ers. Coleman Livingston Blease,
that eminent, most ardent, defend
er of the divine right of the eau
casian race to dispose of the of
Tending blackamoor without benz
fit of jury, was defeated for gov
ernorship by young lawyer DIN
Johnson last week. Coley Blease,
an avowed Negro-hater, upon his
arrival in Washington, introduced
a bill prohibiting the intermarriage
of whites and blacks, and another
requiring separate accommodations
on all street cars in the District of
Columbia. Both efforts in behalf
of the imperilled whites were
thwarted by antagonistic Senate
committees. Again, the appalling
fact that white persons were teach
ing in Negro schools and colleges
in his own native state caused
Coley many sleepless nights, and
he soon advocated the passage of
a legislative act outlawing this
pernicious practice. During his
gubernatorial reign, the last of the
few black officeholders in the state
were sent to Davy Jones' locker.
Negro notaries were also on the
prescribed list. To rid the state Of
these Affections, Coley revoked the
commission of every notary public
within his jurisdiction, and a nj
vecus skin was the one requisite
of reappointment.
The defeat of men of this type
is most encouraging and gratifying
TO the Negro. Because society is
very much like a finely constructed
watch, in which there is complete
and balanced cooperation, it can
never arrive at the ideal stage ur=
til all people realize that they
were made for one another and
must live in an atmosphere Of ap-
probation of one another,
The first big and essential task
in this political adjustment is for
the white man to try to understand
the Negro, appraise him, appreci-
ate him, help him, and allow him
to take his place as free, effec-
tive and helpful citizen of the Re-
public. A statesman who is inca
pable of profoundly considering
the human equations of nation
is unworthy Of the name. Again,
thanks, South Carolina.

Insanitary Conditions
At Southwest Market
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
How is it possible that the South
west Retail Fruit and Vegetable
Market has escaped the notice of the
District oficials? The insanitary
conditions existing there and the un-
slightly squalor Of the shacks, wrongly
named stalls, tops anything of its kind
seen in any market or public food
center in the entire country. The
citizens Of the Southwest and the
buying public in general have been
waiting some time to have this condi-
tion remedied and clean market,
providing sanitary conditions, erected
to replace this eyesore and disease
breeding spot that now passes for a
market. The markets in other sec
tions Of the city are conducted with
proper attention to health rules; then
why should not the Southwest section
be as well protected? It is no fault
Of the men operating the stalls. Sur
rounding conditions are too much for
them. They should be provided with
clean stalls and the buying public
should be accorded the privilege of
buying under sanitary conditions.
Elation was expressed in the news
papers about the passing of the slum
districts of Washington. Surely this
elation cannot be complete so long as
this market stands. There is no place
for it in our beautiful Capital City,
where sanitation and right living
should set an example for the country
to follow.
The market can benefit the buying

hero tale" the undying legend Of
the celebrated courier Pheidippides,
Olympic victor and Attic patriot. He
1t was, as every schoolboy remembers
from his reading, who was sent by
the Athenians in the Summer of 400
B. C. to enlist the aid of the Spar
tans in the struggle with the Per-
sian hosts OF Darius the Mede. He
accomplished the journey in two
days, then hastened back to join his
comrades under Miltiades and take
part in the battle which freed Hell
las from the danger of enslavement.
News of the triumph he was priv
ileged to carry to the capital he had
helped to save; but he paid with his
life for the honor-the hardships
through which he had passed left
him strength enough only to cry
out, Rejoice! We conquerl"; he
dropped dead with the tidings on his
lips. But his fame survives. Every
man who enters Saturdays modern
equivalent of his final race will think
Of him, and the crowds along the
route or listening in by grace of
radio will salute his example.

An 'Anti-V'' Makes Answer
To Certain Recent Critics

as a sacrifice to the vivisectors, as he
considers 1t such a noble cause and in
the same category as serving ones

suggestion is based entirely On his

Mr. s. was apparently drawing on
his imagination when he said that
animals are tortured no more in the

dogs and cats, have highly developed
nervous systems. Many anti-y's are
thoroughly consistent with their dec

eschewing the wearing Of leather and
absolutely refusing to wear furs.
The sentence, An anti-v should let
a dog bite his leg and infect him rather
than injure the dear animal is read
lily seen at glance to be an extremely
foolish statement, and the reply that
''Mr. P. should go and Jump IN the

Toward the Treaty Navy.

Tangible steps toward construction of
a full treaty Navy for the United States
were taken on Wednesday, when Sec
rstary Swanson signed contract plans
for the 1s34-35 building program, the
ultimate cost Of which will be about
70,000,000. The new units to be
laid down, twenty-four altogether, are
one heavy cruiser of 10000 tons,
mounting eight-inch guns; three light
cruisers of 10000 tons each, mount
ing six-inch guns; two heavy de-
stroyers, twelve light destroyers and
six submarines. These two dozen
vessels are part of the grand total of
one hundred and two ships contem-
plated by the vinson-Trammell bill
as necessary to bring the Navy, by
the end of 1889. up to full treaty

Naval Farley Outlook Brightens
AS Japan Drops Equality Idea

the United States could not counte-
nance a Japanese navy built to a
strength which would narrow or wipe
out the margin of the present ratio"
the Providence Bulletin declares that
both the United States and Great
Britain would be forced to build pro-
portionately higher to Japan's in
creaSing construction" and adds:
The United States has the material
resources with which to build the most
giant fleet the world has ever seen
without overburdening the people.
The British will have to scratch gravel
for larger navy, but can do it. If
japan should force a naval race upon
the other two naval powers, the re-
suits to herself could not avoid bring
ing catastrophe and bankruptcy, for
her national finances are strained as
it is. Wiser and sounder heads among
the Japanese realize that their nation
would embark upon an extremely dan
gerous course by challenging the
United States and Britain to an arm
aments race
Quoting Secretary Swanson's re-
cent statement that under certain
circumstances the United States
would be forced to increase and i'm

rection with the statement: "One of

Stock Exchange Regulation.

The Presidents signature of the
Fletcher-Rayburn stock exchange reg
ulation bill has made 1t the law OF
the land With the horrible examples
Of unrestrained speculation during
the boom years in mind. the laws
objective is generally approved. That
objective is to eliminate some of
the abuses of dealings in securities
and TO make such forms Of invest
ment a better risk. Those who have
fought the bill and some OF its pro-
visions realize that the measure might
have been far more drastic than it
is, that some of its sections repre-
sent the spirit of fair compromise and
that If the law fails to be effective
through a lack of reasonable CO.
operation on the part of those whom
1t affects that fact will be accepted as
the cue for further and more radical
forms Of restrictive regulation.
Suggestions that such cooperation
will be forthcoming from the ex-
changes have been received. Some Of
the restrictions of the securities act
of last year have been softened by
this new law, and the somewhat par
alyzing element of doubt over how
far-reaching or how burdenSome the
new law would be has been removed.
The investing public and those who
run their business for them know
where they stand, as far as the new
regulations themselves are concerned,
and they will shortly learn, from the
nature Of the Presidents appoint
ments to the new regulatory commits
sion, something Of the philosophy
which will be reflected in enforce
ment of the regulations.
The choice Of the five members OF
the new commission, who must be
confirmed by the Senate, offers some
thing of a task for the President. 1t
is obvious that the men who will en-
force the act should possess more than
an academic knowledge of the intri-
cate business they are to regulate.
Yet the stain OF Wall Street is easier
to apply than it is to remove, and in
the South and West of the Alleghanies
there is an overreadiness to imply the
taint of Wall Street. At the same
time, the confidence Of that section
of the business world which Is to be
regulated through this law is not to
be despised. 1t will form one of the
necessary elements If the new law Is
to be successful in ending abuses with
out penalizing legitimate business, and
the men who make up the member
ship of the commission will have
much to do with creating that con-
fidence at the outset.

Saturdays Marathon.

A curious stir of expectation is
present in the veins OF thousands of
Washingtonians. One Of the most
important events of the year casts
its colorful shadow before, and a
multitude of hearts feel the influence
of its attraction. The annual mara
thon from Mount Vernon to the
Ellipse, sponsored by The Star to
decide the National Amateur Athletic
Union championship, is to be run
Saturday afternoon. Sports lovers as
a class, naturally enough. are keenly
interested, but 1t also happens that
vast numbers of people who ordi-
narily care nothing about outdoor
competitions of any kind are plan
ming to see the finish OF the contest.
The marathon has special power
to intrigue the imagination. Per-
haps it is because, by some strange,

ton concerning it comes down from
antiquity to the twentieth century as
portion of the psychological in
heritance of the masses. No scientist
ever has analyzed the matter, prob
ably none ever will, but the fact OF
it remains. 1t is like the spectacle
OF flags flying, the rhythm of drums
beaten-a thing to make the pulses
leap and the eyes shine. Old and
young respond to 1t, react to its ex-
element, answer the summons Of its
dramatic qualities. Its whole char.
acter is one of thrilling fascination.
And doubtless one element opera
tive in the circumstances Is the
