presenting Mrs. Elna Huey of Cal

an appropriate song, setting the
background for the speakers s pre-
sentation. Margaret Lanier Handy
played the piano accompaniments.
Mrs. Huev s first song was my
Task, - after which Mrs. w. A.
McFadden OF Brawley spoke on
AmericaniSm in the home from the
mother S viewpoint. Each child S
right to a normal home life was
emphasized. Mrs McFadden point
ing out that normal development,
physically, emotionally, and spirit
ually is the birthright of every
child. and that it is the mother s
duty to see that the Intangible
ideals which comprise Americanism
be given emphasis. Normal child
hood will lead to good American
citizenship, she declared
Mrs. Huey next sang The Hand
OF You after which Guy A.
Weakley, district superintendent of
schools, spoke On the fathers IS side.
First declaring that in order to
teach Americanism, one should be
able to define it, Mr.. Weakley read
from the Mayflower compact, the
Declaration of Independence and
the preamble to the constitution
ali three of which define the prin-
ciples of Americanism.
In order to maintain these prin-
cipleS it may be necessary from
time to time to re-eYaluate social
concepts and Mr. Weakley declared
it part of a father s duty to see
that his children have a true con-
cept Of Americanism. Good citi-
zenship must come to his children
as a result of the father IS exam
pie. This age may be termed the
thinking era and straight thinking
is essential in solving the problems
which face America
Il Love a Little Cottage was
the last song by Mrs. Huey after
which Mrs. Kathryn E. Watts of
Calexico spoke Of Americanism in
the home as seen by the teacher.
Urging her audience to follow
with her the steps which led to The
of American ideals,
Mrs. Watts traced the development
Of Americanism through the growth
OF the nation. declaring that the
stress of today is bringing to all a
realization for the necessity of
these principles, point
ing out that the schools are doing
all that they can to inculcate these
ideals. To live for one IS country is
more important than dying for it,
and parents have a direct response
bility to set their children an ex-
ample Of good citizenship
The evening ended with the COM
munity singing.

defeated is not SO discouraging as
the manner In which the four
Southern senators won their
victory. II the lynching bill
does not pass at this session Of
Congress, that does not end the
case. The country has had enough
of the failure of the states, especi-
ally the Southern states, to cope
with the crime.It Is preposter-
Gus to say. as some opponents OF
the bill have said. that 1t owes its
origin to the vote OF New York's
Harlem. 1t owes its origin to the
determination OF intelligent Ameri-
can People to end a disgrace OF
their country. State rights are
not sacrificed when State law is
protected by the Federal Govern
ment.
The introduction OF the Wagner
Costigan bill brought the forces
of the illiberal South into play. 1t
was a national parade OF the emo
tions and the shabby thinking OF
what Gerald Johnson only recent
Iy called "the horrible South" He
spoke of 1t as thing of the past.
The debate OF the anti-lynching
bill and the campaign conducted
against 1t by some Southern news
papers show that he would have
been more correct TO have said
that II is passing. Certainly the
liberal South was disgusted to find
certain sections OF its enlightened
press not campaigning against the
Wagner-Costig bill but defend
ing the filibuster as a means of
defeating 1t In Congress. Defending
the filbuster, and at the same time
admitting that the Wagner-Costi-
gan bill could pass II it ever came
to vote.
The filibuster is a defenseless
institution in the practice of rea-
sonable government. The fact that
it was necessary TO use II to tenn
