What Education Means

The real object of education is to
give children resources that will en-
dure as long as life endures; habits
that time will ameliorate, not de-
stroy; occupation that will render
sickness tolerable, solitude pleas
ant, age venerable, life more dig
niied and useful, and death less ter
rible.-SYdneY Smith.

try are negligible, but the sure way to
make them non-existent is to plan and
play for one. No President is smart
enough to do that without it's being
smelt. And one Whit is enough.

Dublin, Ca, Sept. 16 (PFS)-
John w. Underwood, youthful
Mayor of Mount Vernon, Ga, was
seriously wounded last week when
he tried to intervene between an
aroused posse and an aged Negro
suspected of harboring a fugitive
in a rape case.
The Negro, William Kirby, rs,
was killed and Underwood and a
member of the posse struck by
stray bullets when g%unire fooled
the efforts of the Mayor to calm
things at Kirby's farm home near

Many versions of the shooting
were given, some declaring that
the Negro had fired a weapon and
others insisting that Special De-

Sen. BOrah Fails To
Put Speech Into
Congressional Record

New York, Sept. 16-Although
he made extensive remarks n OPP
position to a federal anti-lynching
bill on the floor of the Senate Au-
Gust 18th, with a statement that
an extension of his remarks would
appear in the appendix of TIE Con
~gressional Record, Senator William
e. Borah, of Idaho, failed to put
his speech into Tie record so that
It could be examined.
This was disclosed here this week
by NAACP secretary Walter White
who wrote Senator Borah inquiring
why he withheld from the public
the important debate an the anti
lynching bill.
Senator Borah has participated
in two filibusters against federal
anti-lynchings bills. He claims that
such a bill is unconstitutional and
invades the rights of the states.
Yet in 1885, Senator Borah spon-
sored a resolution urging the IN.
tied States government to go into
Mexico and investigate the al.
legged persecution of American CT
items in that country. Senator
Borah thus believes it is wrong
for the federal government to go
into a state to stop the lyncching
of its own citizen, but it IS all
right for the federal government
to 90 into a foreign country to try
to do something about the treat
ment of American citizens in that
country.
The last day for including
speeches of the last session OF
Congress in the Congressional Re-
cord was September 7th, and SEN
ators and congressman were given
two weeks notice by the printer
that September 7th was the final
day. Despite this notice, Senator
Borah chose not to hace a printed
record of his opposition to the
anti-lynching bill.

CubanS Pass Batista
Sugar Measure

Havana, Cuba, Sept. 16 (ANP)
Col. Fulgencio Bastista's pet
measure of his "3-year plan,"-the
sugar industry coordination bill
was passed Monday by the House
of Representatives, sent to Presi-
dent Federico Laredo Bru, for his
signature. The bill had passed the
Senate on August 18th.
1t is the plan of Col. Batista,
Cuba's military leader, to make
the country less dependent on SUI
gar production for it's economic
welfare. He wants those products
raised which Cuba consumes most,
and additional products developed
for the export trade. Under his
restrictive measures, the sugar
crop peak of 100000 toms has
been reduced to less than 5000, 900
tons.

Ask GAR To Aid
AntiLynch Law

New York, Sept. 16-The Grand
Army of the Republic, in conven-
ton this week in Madison, Wis,
requested by the NAACP to pass q
resolution endorsing the passage OF
a federal anti-lynching law. The
NAACP request cited the lynching
toll of nor than 5000 persons in
the last fifty years andstated "ths
great cause of human freedom for
which you fought would be adj
vanced by the adoption Of this re-
solution and this would be a con-
tinuation of the highest principles
of Americanism to WHICH the
Grand Army Of the Republic has
always adhered"

Howard newspapers. Grayson Is
the only sports writer of national
reputation who has persisted in
using the objectional word in re
ferring to Louis.
The NAACP letter asserted that
Louis 'by his prowess and his
clean living has done more than
any other individual toward rails
ing the standard of the prize fight
ing game" and p%ointedo out that
Grayson had never referred to
Jewish, Irish, or Italian fighters by
Objectionable and insulting terms.

Southern Dailies Say
Tennessee Lynching
Speeds Federal Law

New York, Sept. 16-Editorial
comment from large and small
southern daily papers indicates
that the lynehing of Albert Good
en- in Cogington, Tenn, on August
18th. is likely to be the IMAM wer-
able argument which will insure
the passage Of the federal anti
ynching bill early next session.
Some of the editorials, collected
by the NAACP, follows:
Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser;
TO hell with the law!" is the an
swer of a Tennessee sheriff said he
received when he tried to reason
with the six men who committed
the latest lynching.
We do not debut that the men
were quoted correctly since that is
a good lynching slogan. Perhaps
they also used some of those other
good old lynching slogans:
"To hell with decencyl"
"To rel with democracy"
'To fell with civilization"
Valdosta (Ga.) Times: Recent
lynchings in the South are certain
to add fuel to the fight for passage
Of Tire anti-lynching bill when Con-
Press meets again next year.
Birmingham (Ala.) News; This
lynching of a prisoner taken from
the custody of a Tennessee sheriff
prompts the suggestion that if the
South really desires to have a fed
eral lynehing law that would as
sess fines against a county where
a lynching occurred, the thing to
do is to have a lynching every few
weeks. A few well-staged mob
murders just before Congress
meets again will cinch passage of
the bill now assured of considera-
ton at the next session.

Unrest
Waited along through the wistful year,
When the Winter skies were gray,
For the little hour of careless cheer
That comes on lazy day.
The wind was soft and the sky was clear
Where the ripples were all at play,
And said to myself at last it's here;
We are due for lazy day!
And the world SO big brought no sign of
fear,
And the heavens were bright and gay,
But an impudent wasp came lowering
near
To embitter that lazy day.
Oh, the world seems to cherish a love
sincere
For placid and peaceful way,
But some insect is certain to appear
And demolish the lazy day.
