Why Not Stay Put?

On Friday unofficial estimates OF
the 1912 Federal budget were given
,, ~ some millions over fifteen billion
dollars, and on Saturday the figure
had Jumped to something like seven
teen billions or little better, both
items including defense spending. AT
That rate if il continues, it is not
foo much of an eXaggeratlon &C en-
meet a hike to around twenty bill
lions bv the time the new Congress
oetS down to making actual appro-
priationS.
One wonders why single day s
Juggling should provide figures so
widely apart. Why can't fiscal eN-
perts-if they are that-take po-
Sition and then stay put?
Along with the spending estimates
was guess that revenues would APP
proyimate some eight billion dollars
drrins the coming fiscal year. That
would be about. OF less than, half
the proposed outlay. so that even a
second grader can have no diff
Guilty IN setting down the deficit
item for that period. Improved
busineS and increased tax levieS
are counted on to lift current Fed
cral income to the larger figure.
And we may soon be we'll advanced
along the road towards Il new and
fresh effort toward spending our
way into prosperity. Which may be
ike previous attempts in that eli
rection. in that it is all very fine So
long as il lasts. but when the shot
in the arm loses its effect we slide
again to former low levels with no
precedented public debt on our

1910 Lynchings

Every year throughout the year
4 complete record as far as possible
is kept at TuSkegee Institute, Ala
bama. Of lynchingS that occlW all
over the United States, and the re-
suits. and comparisons with other
recent years, are announced at the
end of each six months period.
Dr.. F. d. Patterson, president OF
Tuskagee. has made public the find
ings for the year 1910, showing four
lynchingS during the period, one OF
them white and the others Negroes.
OffenSeS charged were drunkenness
and wife-beating, attempted rape, at
tempting to qualify to vote land an
alteration with white man. Geor-
gia had two of the lynchings, and
! Alabama and Tennessee one each.
! The record for 1910 shows one
more lynching than occurred IN
! 1889, two less than in 1888, and four
less than in 1887 and 1886 each. One
Of the victims was taken from Jail
and another was shot to death in
Jail.
But this is not the whole story,
and the other side is the brighter
one, since it has to do with activities
of officers of the law in preventing
probable violence. Lynchings were
averted by law officials in twenty
two instances, all Of them in south
ern states except three, which ought
to be convincing enough for that
handful Of South-baiterS who are
trying to push through Congress an
anti-lynch bill to confer upon the
Federal government greater powers
over states. The record shows that a
total of 20 persons were saved from
mObS, including four white men, two
Negro women and twenty-five Negro
men.
I, The time was, and within the me-
mCry Of many people now living,
when it was not uncommon for forty
or more, sometimes even hundreds,
of persons to be done to death by
incenSed mobs in single year. That
, we have come SO far within a few
decades is an indication Of either
greater respect for law or better
| law enforcement, or both. This rec
| ord speaks louder and more convinc-
lngly than any argument pro or con
=, IN Congress against the need or even
E the excuse for Federal legislation to
E prevent type Of crime that is viz
s tually non-eNistent, and which is
a gradually waning year by year.

age from Palos on August 3, 1892,
sighting land, the island Of San Sal
vador. on October IL. On this trip he
touched Cuba and Haiti and hailed
for home on January 4, 1893. He
made three other voyages Of dis
covery to American waters before
his death in 1906. He was buried at
Seville, Spain, and later his remains
were removed to Haiti and then to
Havana, Cuba, finally being returned
to Seville.

Public instruction Scarborough in

$3O6,905 for white schools and $780,
955 for colored schools.

Moreover. the production of certain

Ching at the Axis powers, he de-
clared that with all their Vaunted
efficiency and parade Of pious pur-
pose in this war, there are still III
their background the concentration
camp and the SerVonts of God IN

Concerning fifth columnists, he
said that secret cmissaries" of "eVll
forces which have crushed and UNI
dermlned and corrupted" so many
other nations ARE already within our
gates" but the Government is Ger
letting them out"
He struck out too at persons he
termed "appcaSers," saying that "un-
Willingly in most cases." they are
doing exactly the kind of work the
dictators want done in the United
States"
Pointing out that the British had
"received invaluable military sup
port from the heroic Greek Army
the President declared that other
governments in exile" were helping
and that British strength was grow

Il believe that the Axis powers
are not going to win this war;" ne
added, 81 base that belief on the

Repeatedly the President referred
directly to Germany and the Nazls.
AT one point, he declared that the
Nazi masters of Germany have made
it clear that they intend not only
to dominate all life and thought in
their own country, but also to en-
slave the whole OF Europe, and then
TO use the resources Of Europe to
dominate the rest of the world"
In his discussion of peace sugges- |
tons, the President said that in view
Of an "undeniable threat" from the !:
Axis powers 1.-The United States has
no right or reason to encourage talk
Of peace until the day shall come
when there is a clear intention on
