flibuster which two years ago was
used to sidetrack the Costigan
anti-lynching bill. Smith is given
to repeating that such legislation
is crime against southern
womanhood. His vehemence is
counted as an asset by supporters
Of the bill.
IN the background will be the de-
sire Of northern Democratic
leaders to hold the colored vote,
which deserted the Republican
party almost en- masse in the last
election. Most opposition speeches
in the House were based on the
Gavagan bills alleged unconsti-
tutionality, violation of state
rights and interference with .
purely southern problem.
Aside from the difference pre-
viously noted, the House and Sen
ate bills provide that officers who
fail to make diligent efforts to pre-
vent prisoners from being lynched
shall be subject to a $4,000 fine
and five years in prison; that off,
GERS who conspire with mobs may
be imprisoned from five to 20
years; and that any county in
which a prisoner is injured o,
killed by a mob may be sued BY

A MATTER OF PREFERENCE
BY WICKES WAMBOLDT

In the best of times, when
there is more work than workers,
there is always a large army of
men who, through preference,
ride the rods, the brake beams,
the side door Pullmans, who
trudge the highways, sleeping in
barns and outhouses or under the
stars, whose idea of luxury is to
be free of all responsibilities and
the cramping restrictions of civil
lied life, who do not know how
they are going to eat tomorrow
or even today, and do not care.
A person who has been taught
to depend on protection and mod
ern convenienccS and Injuries,
does not understand how anyone
can prefer to live without those
things; but there are such persons
and many of them. There are per
sons who like to rough it, and the
rOughcr it is the better they like
it. And there are those who had
rather suffer any other distress
than the distress of work.

spaces, may need no sympathy
There are men who prefer to live
hard even when they could live
easy. Some of the men who ride
the western range prefer to sleep
in the sage while comfortable
rooms are at their disposal.
Johnny Appleseed, who made
himself famous by his labor Of
love promoting the distribution
and cultivation Of apple trees
throughout the middle west in the
early days, preferred sleeping on
the floor in front of the fire to
occupying the best Of beds. a
friend Of mine had an uncle
worth three quarters of million
dollars who, when he had to be
away from home overnight, would
put his horse up at livery stable
and park himself in the hayloft
rather than go to a hotel. And
when he went visiting, he always
asked to sleep on the floor in
front of the living room fire.

dom and no superhuman capacity or di
Wine revelation as to the events of the fu.
ture, have been thinking and saying for
the past several years that this orgy OF
extravaganza, of thoughtless squanderinG
of public money, would end exactly as it
is now clear it is going to end. +.
The spending experiment is fundamen-
tally the same as most of the other admin
istration ventures into fields known to be
treacherous and unsafe according to the
knowledge and experience of the world as
charted its greatest and most learned
Estudents of economics. r.t, ...,.. ,... .. SIS
For example, NRA was fundamentally
unsound scheme to control business and in
dustry 1t failed to work. AAA was fun
damentally unsound scheme to control ag-
riculture and farm production. Before it
was knocked out by the Supreme Court it
was absolutely clear that it would not
work.
The attempt to spend the country into
prosperity with borrowed money, is prob
ably the greatest mistake, the most monu-
mental and egregious blunder made by the
administration. The country has thereby
been turned into camp of bowling, fight
ing pressure groups, all intent on getting
government handouts, subsidies, OF assist
ance in some form that will enable them
TO secure advantages over other groups.
AS the spending spree has been INDUCED
it has, of course, grown more acute. Pres
sure groups have increased in numbers and
have added immensely to the numbers
composing the various groups.
Those who have gotten easy government
money have, like Oliver Twist, been OBJ
sessed with one thought, they want MORE.
So the spending spree grows bigger and
bigger. The administration finds that one
expenditure calls for another; one grant
of cash brings a dozen demands from UNI
expected sources; a subsidy to one pressure
group makes certain that pressure for sub
sides will be exerted by numerous other
groups.
Relief" has developed into the monu-
mental graft of the ages. Yet we have the
spectacle Of Strikes-Sit-downs and many
other varieties-to enforce the demands
of "reliefers" for MORE; they resort to
force to compel government compliance
with their demands. Mayors and COVER
nors of States band together to make de-
mands for MORE and to force compliance
by we'll known political methods.
When President Roosevelt plunged the
country into borrowing and spending
riot for the asserted purpose OF restoring
normal conditions and bringing back pros
perity, he STARTED SOMETHING HE
CAN'T STOP.
Nothing short of revolution will stop 1t
unless the natural and logical results OF
this policy bring the inevitable explosion
first.
The spending mania is out OF control;
the country has been TammanyiZed by jim
Farley, graft is running riot; the budget Is
unbalanced, the borrowing and levylng OF
taxes must continue; and the DEFICIT
FOR THE CURRENT YEAR is ESTlMAT-
ED AT THREE BILLION DOLLARS.

Observation-Disclosures for a
" federal anti-lynching act are
good unless the anticipated fill
buster of a few southern senators
is supported by obstruction from
the Senate leadership and apathy
among the measures friends.
Assuming passage, there will be
one deficiency in the law if it fol-
lows the model Of the Gavagan
bill passed by the House. For the
Gavagan bill applies its penalties
only in cases where prisoner has
been taken into custody before be-
ing seized by a mob.
It carries an obvious incentive
for local officers, discovering the
possibility of mob action and fear
ing federal prosecution, to refrain
from arreSting suspects and then
leave them to the mob.
The Wagner-Van Mugs bill, now
with the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee, extends to cover all cases of
persons accused, suspected or
convicted of crime, who are
lynched or injured by mobs in
E denial of trial by the regular
process of law.
D.. The Gavagan bill, on the other
hand; provides-as the Senate bill
does 5not-for federal prosecution
Of members of lynching mobS in
cases where local or state authors
ties have mot acted within 80
d days. '''.f'
Supporters of the Wagner
Van Mugs bill think they can
bring enough pressure on the ma
jority leaders, Senators Joe Rob-
inson of Arkansas, and Pat Harri-
son of Mississippi, to give TIE
measure place on the calendar
sooner or later. They. will then
be. faced by a filibuster which will
be led by Cotton Ed" Smith of
