Woman Senator
It looks like & Southern fire
eater has come into the Senate
in the person of a Mrs.
Dixie Graves. She is a lady of
strong and positive personality
she says what she thinks, and in
unmistakable language.
The feminine solon has ripped
out against the Anti-Lynching
bill, evidently thinking this would
be the popular course, since for
SO many years men from her sec
ton have remained in power by
kicking again and again the help
less Negro. Brit Senator Dixie
Graves drew sharp retorts from
her own sex. It seems that some
enlightened white women do not
share the senator's viewpoint on
mob law. and they have said so,
regardless of what the woman SEN
ator may think.
It is a healthy sign for American
life when women, who have been
downtrodden in governmental af-
fairs for centuries, can rise above
sex and take a stand for fairness
and justice. even against one of
their own and in so important a
post as senator, when the situa-
ton warrants.
Senator Dixie Graves, success
sor to Ku Kluxer Hugo Black, who
now awaits chance to say as
Justice Black of the Supreme
Court whether he thinks the bill
he fought in the Senate is consti-
tutional, is not so popular, in spite
of tie fine publicity build-up she
got at the start of her senatorial
career. There are women left in
the country who know right from
wrong, and who are not afraid to
condemn wrong, even if wrong be
advocated by the Flower of south
ern womanhood."
Book Fair
The second annual New York
Times National Book Fair in Radio
City brought an opportunity for
two of our better known authors
to speak in company with distin-
guished authors of the nation and
of the world. Prof. James Weldon
Johnson, author Of several books of
the better type, and Miss Fora
Neale Hurston, rising writer of
light fiction about her group and
racial folk lore, each addressed
the literary public.
The tendency to include repre-
sentatives of the Negro group in
all symposiums on the growth and
development of any and all inn
portant phases of our national life
is to be commended, and it is
hoped the idea will grow and grow
until it is a definite part of the
procedure for American thinkers,
planners, and administrators.

1t would be a good thing, if some
American Negroes would come to

all heathens here. There are many
men and women of brains, and
who knows but that some day that
bond of sympathy may greatly

The forward march OF youth to
a more hopeful outlook under the
direction of Edward 70. Strong,
chairman of the Negro Youth Sec
ton of the Congress, was clearly
shown by the huge attendance at
their sessions and the program 0 +
lined there, which is later summed
up here in a resolution.

the issues Of civil rights and thu

The symposium on war and fas-

forces of the world who are active

is war, and there is FascisTn. Con-

them from spreading throughout

That means that we must use all
the forces at our disposal today to
stop these two main evils. Ulti-
mately the decisive anti-war forces
are the peace loving people of the
world, but every force against war
must be united now to stop the
present reality Of growing war and
fascism..." DR.. Harry F. Ward and
Max Yeargan were among other
participants in this discussion,
which was presided over by Capt
Harry Haywood, member of the
Lincoln Battalion Of the Spanish
Loyalist Army.

EROSION CONTROL
is SATISFACTORY

According to State Coordinator
O. C. Bruce. of the Soil Conserva-
ton Service, this city, terracing,
strip-cropping and other soil ero-
sion control work has stood the
test of the recent heavy rains near
Hagerstown. Mr. Bruce stated
that all control measures which
had been completed in the areas,
performed their duties in a most
satisfactory manner. Commenting
the State Coordinator said: "Tests
like these offer farmers eye-wit-
ness evidence that soil washing
can be prevented and moisture
can be retained in the soil for
crop use where proper cultural
tactics are used. The capacity of
soil to absorb water is just be-
ginning to receive adequate recog-
nition."

WAY OF WOMEN

When a strange woman stopped
60-year-old Charles Driskell on a
Milwaukee street, he was puzzled.
When she threw her arms around
him and Rugged him, he was
startled. When he reached for his
wallet later, he was shocked to
find that the wallet and SIS were
gone.

SEEING NEW SIGHTS

1t is difficult to imagine the sensa-
tons experienced by persons from isolated
sections of the world, particularly island
jewellers, when first brought into contact
with the facilities of modern life.
A recent dispatch tells of the Won
der with which Rachel Gillies, a 17-year-
old girl from the Island of St. Kilda, off
the English coast, first saw horse, an
automobile, railroad train and motion
picture on her first visit to the main
land.
Thousands of people live and die with
out seeing any of these things, although
they may lipe within a comparatively short
distance of them all.
But it is not only those who live in
sparsely settled localities who are uhfami-
liar with objects which are commonplace
to the great majority. Not long ago a
large and curious crowd gathered in a GER
tain section of New York city to see a
strange kind of animal which had often
been heard of but never seen by many of
those who gathered to gaze upon the
beast
1t was a COW.

CONTRIBUTIONS FOR WHAT?

Since the outbreak of the rebellion in
Spain, there have been more than twenty
organizations in this country engaged in
the collection of contributions for the aid
of the Government or the rebels.
A recent compilation from reports
submitted to the State Department reveals
that the twenty-three collecting organiza-
tons gathered $375926 in contributions,
sent $139, 1913 to Spain spent 1924, 986 on
administration and publicity and had
$133, 006 on hand.
Probably the prize exhibit was the
report of the American Committee for
Spanish Relief of New York. which ac-
copied $3O,753 in contributions, sent moth
ing to Spain, spent $25,793 on administra-
ton and publicity and had something like
$3,340 in cash on hand. Ogden H. Ham
mond, former Ambassador to Spain, said
the heavy expense was caused by the task
of getting started" and by financially
unsuccessful pageant.
There were several other OrganiZa-
tions included in the list which had sent no
money to Spain up to this time. Such eX-
amples ought to warn citizens generally
against making contributions to any cause
unless assured that the bulk of the money
given will be used for the purposes in

great disasters, pledges itself to bear all

RATS COST MONEY
1t was q COW.

The rat population of the United
States is estimated at 123,000,000 and,
according to the Department of Agricul-
ture, they cause an estimated annual dam
age of S189,000,000.
Recent studies lead to the conclusion
that the rat population has declined in the
cities due to improved sanitation condi-
tions, ratproof construction, fewer horses,
Improvement in the packaging of foods
and fewer waste food products. hi the
small towns and or farms, the rats seem to
be holding their own. In fact, rat-kill-
