livered to the children last Sun
day morning, by the pastor, Rev.
Henry Porter. He urged the young
people to "Stop, Look, Listen" for
the things that will help them and
not destroy them; and that each
should decide what he is going to
do with this new year.
The subject Of Pastors sermon 10
the adults was, Making the New
Year the Happiest Year" He
said it is estimated hat nine-tenths
of peoples troubles are brought on
by themselves; the other one
tenth being put on them by others.
He admonished his congregation to
throw off the nine-tenths and be
happy this year. The way to do
this is to seek Gods way, not our
own way. He stressed the Bibi-
cal passage, "Thou shalt keep him
in perfect peace, whose mind is
staid on God"

States since May 1.

States since May 1.
Senator Van Mugs called atten-
ton to the fact that during the
debate on the motion to consider
the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching
bill, which continued from April
26 until May 1, various members
of the Senate made statements to
the effect that Federal legislation
against lynching is unnecessary as
the states can and will prevent
lynchings and punish those respon-
sible for this mob violence.
Yet, despite these statements,
there have occurred in the United
States, since the close of the de-
bate on May 1st, at least fourteen
lynchings to both white and Negro
citizens.
Probe Planned
In view of this circumstance,
the Senator intends, by means of
this Resolution to have the Senate
authorize the committe on the
Judiciary, or any subcommittee
thereof, to investigate fully the
facts and circumstances surround
ing the fourteen lynchings which
have occurred, including the re-
lationship of those acts Of violence
to other crimes and a consequent
depreciation in the maintenance OF
law and order.
The committee to make the in
vestigation shall report its find
ings To the Senate at the earliest
practical date, not later than
March 1st, 1886, which will, it is
believed, provide an authoritative
and reliable basis for further con-
sideration of anti-lynching legis-
lation.
Strategic Move
The announcement by Senator
Van Nuys that he would Introduce
such a resolution created a furry
of interest in the capital since 1t
is well known that the anti-lynch-
ing legislation is one OF those con-
troversial subjects which many
legislators would like to keep very
much in the background. The move
was regarded in many quarters as
an excellent strategic one wy ich
will focus the attention Of the ha-
ton upon the manner in which the
states have dealt with the crime
of lynching. It is regarded as par
ticularly valuable that this infor-
nation for the first time will have
the stamp of an official government
inquiry and therefore will not be
able to be dismissed on grounds
that It Is propaganda by paid
agitators."

made his announcement Gov. james

Garners Are
Celebrating

The Garner family, down in
Texas, are doing a lot of eele-
brating this month. We guess
it all started early in the month
when election returns began to
pile in. Then, a few days ago,
the Vice President passed an
other milestone, quietly cele-
brating his sixty-seventh birth
day anniversary. Right after
that both he and Mrs. Garner
were given honorary degrees
of Doctor of Laws by Baylor
University. They were said to
be the first man and wife in
American history to receive
such honors simultaneously.
Then yesterday was their
wedding anniversary, having
been married November 25,
1895. And today being Thanks
giving, you can just bet they're
doing the proper amount of
celebrating in behalf of this
great American feast day.
The V. P. plans to come on
to Washington early next week,
to be followed a little later by
Mrs. Garner.
Navy ranks have a newly
wed couple in their ranks who
at the moment are busy house
hunting. Announcements are
being received in Washington
from Lieut.. Harry Lynnwood
Hicks of the marriage of his
