year-old girl of French features filed
the suit through her father, Edward
Guidry. She declared in her petition
that young DeWalt "is a man Of

her parents are poor people and his

forded her.

Walt In 1882 and that in 1888 he pro.

are Republicans. This decision was
delivered through the mouthpiece Of
Justice Roberts, a staunch Pennsyl-
vania Republican, who was nominated
to take the place of Judge j. j. Par
ker, a lily-white of North Carolina.
There was neither sectional.sm nor
craftsmanship in this decision. 1t
merely brings the Negro to a realiz-
ing sense Of the political situation
which c~onfronts him, North and South,
East and West. The Negroes united
and protested against the nomination
Of Judge Parker to the Supreme Bench
with a salutary unanimity for fear
that his confirmation might seriously
blast their political future. But alas,
and alas, the s.aunch Northern Repub-
lican who supplanted him became the
mouthpiece of a decision which blights
his political hope.
The Republican partisans Of the
Perry Howard stripe, of whom there
are a few left will seek to dramatic
this action to brighten the Northern
Negroes away from the Democratic
party. But this is but a part of the
same old bugaboo with which this
brand of leadership has been frighten-
ing the Negro ever since Emancipa-
ton. The fact is, the two parties re-
main just as they did before as to
their attitude toward the Negro.
Where the number of Negroes is rela-
lively small, they are accorded equal
political rights and privileges by the
Democrats and Republicans alike. On
the other hand, where the number of
Negroes is large enough to threaten
the white political dominance, they are
limited and restricted in their politi-
cal rights and privileges. Unfortu-
nately, the one set of conditions pre-
walls in the South and the other in the
North, but it runs deeper than political
division between parties, which is not
deep at all.
In this struggle for full political
equality, North and South and East
and West, the Negro must realize it Is
a condition and not a theory, which
confronts him.

Race Problem in
Politics Still Acute

the Texas Democratic primary bar
against Negroes, Settled the question
legally, but the problem Of orienting
the Negro into the political system
CT the South still remains Dale Mil
Ter, associate editor Of 1.-THE Texas
Weekly" white Dallas magazine, de-
clared in an editorial published April
9Th.
"The Negro problem in Texas has
rot been escaped by the fnality Of
the Supreme Court opinion which sus-
tanned the action of the Democratic
party in barring Negroes from partic-
ipation in its primaries" the maya
zine editorial said, "but by the Negro
problem is not meant the p~roverbial
race problem with its legendary con-
notation Of two races living estranged
in a maladjusted society. Texas has
no race problem, of course; whites and
blacks 0 in their respective
spheres as orderly as stars in their
orbits, and Irregularities which occur
are neither more numerous nor fla
grant than those which occur in So
cieties otherwise constituted. But
tho problem which has not been es-
capped is the responsibility of Texas
and the South to acclimate the Negro
in their political SYSTEM" the editorial
declared.
Concluding, Mr.. Miller writes
Political discrimination against the
Negro should be based purely on the
grounds of illiteracy, rather than col
or IlLteracy can be overcome in time,
color cannot. and a Negro population
educated in the responsibilities of citi-
zenship would rebound ultimately to

Lack of Money Has
Affected Fight For
Anti-Lynching Bill

New York, Nay 16.-Lack Of
sufficient financial support from
those who would profit most from
the passage IF tho CostiGan-Wag-
ner anti-'ynchirg bill was chiefly
responsible for he temporary
shelving Of the ! controversial
measure, according to a statement
issued today from the office of
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People.
According to this statement,
many Northern senator's would
have spoken in favor Of The COST
gam Wagner bill had they been
supplied with adequate detailed
information and arguments, legal
and otherwise. on lynching.
Speaking for the Association,
which is actively backing the bill,
Wal; er White, its Secretary, de-
clared: Memoranda was pre-
pared exposing the fallacy of the
arguments about rape; on the
states which have in their laws
provisions for financial damages
against counties which permit
ly%nchings; de allied analyses Of
the lynchings in thirteen southern
states showing the trivialitv Of
the causes Of many lynchings;
memoranda on how lynching is
used as a means of terroriza ion
through which economic, political,
educational tnd other discrimi-
nation is perpetuated and ipcreas-
ed"
No Money for Research Work
but not enough of these
analyses were DONE he con-
tinued mot sufficiently distribut-
ed in the Senate and among news
paper men. because the prepare
ton of such memoranda requires
much research work by experts
in the gathering, correlation, di-
costing and presenting of this
material. Stenographic services,
printing. postage, mimeograph-
ing, multigraphing, travelling ex.
penses and personal interviews
with senators to supply them
with facts to answer the wild
statements of the Ellison Smiths
and other filibusterers, all these
cost money. The Association had
no money for this work.
"After each days vote steno-
graphic service should have been
available Immediately to send
kilograms to key persons in states
from which came senators who
had been absent from the floor OF
who had voted for adjournment
1t is only in this fashion that the
political threat of revolt by Negro
voters against senators who did
not persis emily and faithfully
fight the filibuster to the limit
could be properly exerted. Just

Laboratory experts of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation are interested
In possibilities of the so-called lie de-
tector, but J. Edgar Hoover, head G.
man, believes results are so "specula-
tive" that it would be dangerous" to
use such evidence in court at the
present time.
Researches are being conducted with
a Photograph" form of deception tes-
ter in the technical laboratory Of the
bureau. This apparatus was devised
by Leonard Keeler, pioneer in sci
entific lie detection, who Is with
Northwestern University.
The machine records on revolving
drum variations In blood pressure and
respiration of a subject being queS-
toned as a suspect in a crime. 1t
operates on the theory that efforts at
deception create in the subject an in
crease in blood pressure and breathing
that causes abnormal fluctuations OF
the recording stylus and thereby be-
tray the struggle of the suspect to
appear nonchalant while lying.
Hauptmann Asks for Test.
Hoover's appraisal of the lie de-
tector is of current interest because
of the announcement by Bruno Rich
ard Hauptmann that he is willing to
submit to a deception test In an effort
to prove he is innocent of the Lind
bergh kidnapping.
While Hoover refuses to discuss
Hauptmanns offer-in pursuance of
his post-trial no comment" policy
on the Lindbergh case-he discloses
his views regarding lie detectors,
truth seruns" and other deception
testers in a paper just published in
the George Washington University
Law Review. Hoover is a graduate
of G. w. U.
Discussing scientific methods Of
crime detection, Hoover points out
that the hunt for truth is as old as
Diogenes. In ancient times the rack
and other torture devices were used to
force the truth from a victim, and
even in modern days the third de-
gree" has been used on suspected liars
by irresponsible inquisitors.
In recent years, however. efforts
have been made to place lie-detecting
