Vice-Pres. Garner
Shows Fairness In
Anti-Lynch Rule

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-When
Senator Allen ]. Ellender, of Lou
isiana, concluded his six-day
speech against the federal anti
lynching bill here yesterday, a
notable change had taken place in
the attitude of some of the sup
porters of the bill.
Many northern and western
senator's and many southern ones,
also, did not hear the Ellender
bloody shirt arguments on inter-
marriage because they absented
themselves from the Senate cham
Der; but several times during the
week it was evident that the
breast-beating and the obviously
absurd statements of Ellender were
arousing the ire of northern and
western senators so that many who
heretofore had intended only to
vote for the bill are now actively
working for it and probably will
make speeches for it next week.
A gratifying element has been
the absolute fairness of Majority
Leader Alben w. Barley and
Vice-President John N. Garner in
their rulings ON the debate. Vice
President Garner, although from
Texas, has been extra fair in his
rulings. Minority Leader McNary
joined Vice President Garner in a
demand for strict enforcement of
the rules in an effort to break the
filibuster.
Many letters, kilograms and
resolutions have been sent to SEN
ators by colored and white organi-
cations and individuals in all sec
lions of the country and these have
helped to hold the lines against
the filibuster.
Senator Robert F. Wagner, who
has been seriously i'll in his apart
ment at the Shoreham hotel, is
expected back on the floor Mon
day. 1t was thought he would re-
turn before that time, but he had
heart attack and doctors forbid
him to leave his room.
Nevertheless, with Senator Var
Mugs and others, Senator Wagner
last night made plans for the stra-
tegy of the proponents of the bill
next week and indications are that
a determined effort will be made
to crack the filibuster before the
week is out.
Southern Dailies Aid Bill
One of the most encouraging as
poets of the fight thus far has
been the steadfast support of many
leading daily newspapers in the
South. In fact, the southern daily
papers have fought the filibuster
much harder than the northern pa
pers. Chief northern paper to turn
tail and run was the New York
Daily News which declared edi-
torially in plain language in sup
port of the bill several months ago,
but, after only three days of fill
clustering, announced that it had
been convinced by the southern
ers that the bill was no good and
thereupon changed its opinion. On
the other hand, such southern dali
lies as the Louisville (Ky.) Cour-
ier-Journal, the Richmond (Va.)
Times-Dispatch, the Greensboro,
IN. Co. Daily News, the New Or
leans (La.) Tribune and the States
vile IN. CO. Landmark have con-
demned the filibuster in no uncer-
tain terms and stated that the
southern senators did not repre-
sent the sentiment of the South.
Editorials from these papers will
be introduced into the Senate re-
cord at the proper time.

Buena Y. Kelley
Visits NV. Lodges
BY A. D. e.

Miss Buena v. Kelley, Grand
Secretary of the Daughter Elks,
is in the city this week as guest
of Evergreen Temple and other
lodges in the Northwest. Miss
Kelley, a brilliant leader with a
wealth of charm and personality,
is radiant with the hospitality and
friendliness, as well as the scenery
of this region. She is the guest at
the home of Mrs. Nellie McCul-
Tough, for fifteen years Grand Re-
cording Secretary. Mrs. McCul-
Tough has been busily engaged in
seeing that nothing is lacking for
the complete enjoyment of her
guest.
Besides her official duties with
the local Temples, Miss Kelley has
been deliberately entertained. AL
though Evergreen is responsible
for her coming to the Northwest,
Puget Sound Lodge has been gal
liant with their assistance in en-
PERTAINING her.
With the ease and poise that
comes from wide experience in
meeting and dealing with many
people, Miss Kelley was soon the
center of a very active social
group, all clamoring to do her
honor. Sunday afternoon Mrs. Jen-
ME Vrooman opened her beautiful
home for a five o'clock dinner
honoring the Grand Secretary. The
table was arranged in the recre-
alton room, artistically decorated,
with a centerpiece of tall tapers
surrounding rose buds. Mrs. Helen
Leftridge, Daughter Ruler of Ever
green Temple, acted as hostess,
and Mrs. Mccullough shared hon
ors. The ladies present were hand
somely gowned, and were attended
by members from Puget Sound
Lodge.
Monday evening The Temple
gave banquet for Miss Kelly at
the Elks Home which more than
a hundred and fifty Elks and
friends attended. At the speakers
table with Miss Kelley were Mrs.
Mccullough who acted as Mistress
Of Ceremonies, Mrs. Leftridge, Mrs.
Susie E. Marshall, Mrs. Ora E.
Brooks, Mr.. Gus West. Exalted
Ruler, Mr.. John o. Lewis, District
Deputy, and Rev. T. M. Davis.
Miss Kelley spoke feelingly of her
Order, telling of its aims, objec-
tives and accomplishments. She
closed her remarks by paying a
glowing tribute to her mother, the
late Mrs. Emma v. Kelley, founder
of the Temples. Mrs. Mccullough
emphasized what Miss Kelley said
concerning her mother, and added
her own personal appreciation of
the late Founder. Both speakers
told of the Elks educational pro-
gram and urged the Northwest to
take advantage of the opportun-
ity it offers young people for high
er education. At the close of many
very complimentary speeches, Mrs
Leftridge presented both Miss
Kelley and Mrs. Mccullough with
gifts from Evergreen Temple.
Tuesday evening Miss Kelley and
party visited the Lodge in Tacoma,
and Wednesday the Lodge in Van
couver, B. c., returning Thursday.
They will leave today, Friday, for
Portland, Ore. from whence Miss
Kelley will proceed to California.

Where a husband and wife re-

NEW YORK Co The New

editor, attacked the split of the
Lindbergh reward by Governor
Harold G. Hoffman, in an editor
ial last week. The papers main
criticism was of the $4,000 given
William Allen, colored truck driver
who found the baby's body, charg-
ing that Allen clearly failed to
contribute any information leading
to Hauptmanns arrest" Governor
Hoffman ignored the criticism, as
serting the State would have had
no case against Hauptmann had
not the baby's body been found.

FIXING UP NATURE.

The Libby civic clubs in their
cleanup campaign have done good
work in improving the site of koo-
.tenai falls but they should pause
and consider we'll before they make
a park" of this beautiful bit OF
natural beauty. Almost all lovers
of nature and beauty resent the bad
taste often displayed when men, for
commercial purposes, presume to I'M
prove on nature. There are always
those in our midst who delight in
painting the lily-and especially the
pussyWilloW. The Jealous efforts
of these should be confined to town
parks or to their own back yards.
However. to gain possession of the
falls and to hold it as long as pos
sible in its natural state seems a
worthy project. -,
A visitor who has travelled widely
and seen many of the ballyhooed
beauty spots of nature remarked IN
passing through this region: The
reason why your scenery is SO at
tractive is because the chambers OF
commerce have let it alone. Most
| lovely places have been ruined WIN
signs and ratings, with rustic bench,,
es and other crude evidences OF
mans clumsy hands The most won
derful feeling about nature that q
tourist can have is that perhaps nc
is one of the first to discover ano
appreciate a lovely secluded spot
this feeling gives the place a fascl.
