DON'T QUOTE
ME"
BY United Press

WASHINGTON, May 17.-It ap-
peared unlikely today that the
movement to fight the Civil war
over again would gain any great
headWay in congress.
The movement seems to have
started in Massachusetts among
the ladies of the CT. A. r. Relief
Corps. They heard that plans we're
under way to erect an equestrian
statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee in Ar
lington National Cemetery. That
got their anger up.
What" they asked in effect,
was the good of fighting the war
if mere 10 years later the coun-
try goes and puts up a statue of
the greatest reb' hero Of them
all?"
So they passed a resolution con-
demning in plain, old-fashioned
language the whole proposition.
They went so far as to call Gen
eral Lee a traitor"
Then they sent the resolution to
Sen. David Walsh (Dem0, Massa-
chusetts, and asked him to present
it to the senate.
1t looked today as though the
efforts of the bitter-enders had
gone for naught.
Walsh explained that he wanted
no part in any movement to fight
the war over again. He wouldn't
even have presented the resolution
if he had seen what was in it he
said But senators get big piles of
such material every day and it
slipped past him in a bundle hand
cd to him by his secretary.
On top of that rebuff the house
library committee expected to re-
port the resolution for the Lee sta
tue to the house today with rec
ommendation for approval.
The measure which is sponsored
by Rep. Hamilton Fish Rep) New
York. also won the support Of Rep.
William 1. SiroVich Dem), New
York, the only physician and lone
playwright Of the house.
THE country must live together
as man and wife" he pointed out.
L prefer, as the only physician in
the house, to see the country's
wounds healed
He suggested that if opposition
to the Lee statue should prevail,
congress must in all logic pass le-
gislation for the tearing down of
every memorial, museum ,institu-
ton and relic erected in the south
to such leaders as StoneWall Jack
son, Lee and jefferson Davis.
Fish was unperturbed over the
furry his proposal aroused, He
said he guessd the G. A. R. wasn't
much excited about the statute be-
cause no G. A. r. members appear
ed at hearings on the matter
He pointed out that 500 Confed-
crate soldiers had been buried at
Arlington under the direct order of
President William Mckinley, who
was himself a Union veteran.
$50 I don't think a statue Of
General Lee will violate the sane
tity of the union burial grounds as
those folks say

Negro To Have Part
In Texas Centennial

Gonzales, Tex, Nov. 16.-In-
auguration of the Texas Centen-
NAL, officially marked by e pc
Rod of celebration throughout the
state, holds special significance
for the American Negro.
The firing of the first shot in
Texas wal for independence,
which ultimately was to result in
the extension of the boundaries of
the United StSates to the Pacific
Ocean, is being comemorated by a
series of celebrations, which be-
gan on Nov. 5 in Gonzales, the
scene of the opening event of the
war with Mexico. HIRE, 100 years
ago, a band of pioneers and FART
ers took up arms in defiance of
the Mexican governments efforts
to deprive the Texans of their
republican constitution
Among the historic cities par
ticipating in the statewide pro-
gram, are San Antonio, Houston,
and Dallas, where the state and
federal governments are cooper
ating in the development of a
great Exposition to climax the
Centennial Year.
In June, when President Roose-
welt will be in Dallas for the Off
cial opening of the Texas Centen-
NAL Exposition, the Negro will be
given recognition In a Worlds
Fair for the first time. $4,000
has been set aside for the cree
ton of a Negro Life Building.
Herein a dramatic display will de-
pict the history of the American
Negro, showing the part the Me-
gro has played in the economic de-
velopfent of the South from the
time of his coming as an unwill-
ing prisoner from Africa until the
present day.
Negro activities in the EXPOSE
ton are being sponsored by tn e
Texas Negro Centennial Commits
sion, composed of leading Negro
educators and business men in
Texas. Many of the weather
members of the race in Texas
have shared in a subscription of
Exposition bonds, sold under the
sponsorship of the Negro Com
mission.

Haywood Patterson
Writes From Jeffer-
son County Jail


against all nine of the Scottboro
boys only two days away, the dn-
ternational Labor Defense yester-
day made public a letter received
from Haywood Patterson written
in the Jefferson County Jail,
Birmingham, Alabama.
"Haywood's plea for messages
of solidarity" stated Anna DAM
on, acting national secretary of
the /. L. d." especially at this
moment must be answered. On
November IL, a special grand
jury in Scottsboro, Alabama, will
be asked to return new lynch in
dictments against the innocent
boys. With open cynicism, Ala
bama authorities announce that
there are two Negroes on the
panel from which the jury will be
drawn, just so that there will be
no more talk about constitution
atty. These young boys have
been completely shut away from
the world for almost five years
now. They need concrete assur-
ance that they are not forgotten
and that the fight for their free
dom will never be abandoned.
Surely all those who read Hay
woods letter telling US that
"EVERY LETTER IS JUST
LIKE IN LETTING IN RAYS
OF SUNSHINE" will answer
his plea.
Haywood Patterson's letter fol-
lows in full:
"My dear comrades and work
ers:
ct affords me the most great
est of pleasure to write to you
this afternoon. 1t is very lonely
here doing all those lonesome and
miserable days and l want to tell
you how the days are with me A
day seems mighty long and dark
in such a place as this. 1t is easy
to get discouraged and even stand
in doubt of the fight which l
know you are all continually car
rying onward in my behalf. l am
compelled and must suggest that
j could so very much enjoy my
self and be more comfortable and
cheerful if each of you workers
who have an interest in me would
write me a letter. Every letter
is just like letting in rays of sum
shine. And it will encourage me
and give me more courage a
new hope for life.
81 ever thank you one and all
for your kindness in giving your
assistance to who is in my
circumstances. Of course l have
not a university education but my
promise is to do my very utmost
to answer an interesting letter to
each and every one who may desire
to write to me. I can tell you of
the South and you a tell me of
the world outside.
81 shall appreciate the thought
behind the deed as much as the
deed itself.
Haywood Patterson,
Jefferson County Jail,
Birmingham, Alabama.
The address for all the other
Scottsboro boys is the same. Let
.ters to all of them will certainly
be equally appreciated.

ing he was still corresponding
with her. He didn't give her up,
however, when she found he was
married she QUIT HIM right

A. WHY did my boy friend
give me that gift, and where did
he get it?
Ans: Your boy friend thinks
more of you than you realize and
he would do more for you if he
could possibly afford it. You
should appreciate the PERFUME
he sent you for he paid his own
good money for it.
M. T.-Please tell me if this
friend of mine likes me and will

ing up to likes you all right but
