lican from New York and Representa-
tive Mitchell, a Democrat from Illinois
The former asked the latter if he be-
lieves that the Colored vote is for sale.
The latter replied that every vote in
the United States is for sale and then
he proceeded to tell how the Republican
Party has been making all sorts of
promises to Colored America during
the last rs years. Mr.. Fish then pro-
ceeded to shed torrents of crocodile
tears over Mr.. Mitchell's remark about
Colored votes being for sale. With
equal justification, Mr.. Fish could have
.charged the Democratic Party with the
activities Of a trader in votes-black as
well as white-and a prolific pedler of
promises which were never intended to
be kept.
HAVING PASSED THE House of
Representatives by the interesting vote
of 251 to 1873, the bill is now in the lap
of the Senate Judiciary Committee
which is composed of thirteen Demo-
Gratis, four Republicans and one hide
pendent. Every indication points to
the belief that if and when the measure
comes up before the Senate it will, like
all its predecessors, face an organized
fiHbuster by Southern Democratic
Senators. The point we must always
keep in mind is that the Senators and
Representatives who come from Sec
tons of the Country where Colored
Americas right to vote is not suspend
ed will as a consequence not openly
participate in the flibuster. In both
the Senate and the House, however, the
Democratic Party has a majority and
can pass the legislation. But this
writer expects that majority to do ex-
actly what the Republicans did when
they were in the majority under Re-
publican administrations namely, fail
to pass the bill.
IN THE MEANTIME, those of us with
a sense of social responsibility and
courage should become increasingly
vocal in our demand for Federal action
in the national disgrace of lynching
We should lend every support to the
constructive work of the N.A.A.CPI
and help in the building of a new
political party reflective Of labor's in
terest and one which places human
rights above property rights. A Party
that opposes all shades of dictatorship
"a Party welded to the principles of
Democracy and Party that recognizes
the need for applying impartiaIly those
principles to the industrial as well as
the political life of all the people

AMERICAS GOOD NAME

Of the 1867 lynchings in the United
States since 1882, the vast majority
have occurred in Southern States AL
though the annual toll has almost
steadily declined to the low record of
three for 1889 the South is now and
has been for the past several years
the exclusive scene Of mob murders
Based on this stigma, an argument
overworked by Southern opponents
of the anti-lynch bill is that such legis-
lation tends to humiliate the South
Nothing is said by them, no word of
regret, about the Iong-continued, real
humiliation which the entire nation
suffers because of the persistence of
Southern lynching.
For there is no installing the reality
Of the contempt with which the civil
lied world views Americas monopoly
of collective murder. South Amer
leans have no use for our culture. The
capitals of Europe welcome the sweet
jingle of American cash while ieering
at the "noisy Americans" Great Brit
ain was indulgently hospitable to Col
onel Lindbergh, victim of Americas
kidnappers, but treated shabby a
Maryland-born duchess. Our repeated
acts of sympathy and generosity in
behalf of distressed peoples of Europe
and Asia are never so wildly applaud
ed as to obhterate world opinion that
we are an untutored nation, not yet
emerged from a state of barbarism
And the horrible American crime of
lynching is cited as a proof.
Ut course the gallant protectors of
the South are not unaware that the
South can immunize itself from the
effect OF any and all Federal anti
lynching enactments by the simple
process of voluntarily climbing down
from its 'bad eminence." But that is
only fantastic hope It is clear that
the disgrace of lynching cannot be
confined to the locality where lynch,
lngs occur. The Federal anti-lynching
bill embodies the aroused sense of Am,
erican decency and honor. The ma
ton rejects any further complacency
toward chronic iniquity which strikes
at the nations dignity and its good
name before the world.

More of the practical, old-fashioned
advice favored with a bit of optimism

Timely and welcome, therefore, is the
message which the Federal Works

Library in Quincy.

DIXIE SPORTSMANSHIP

Whenever a Southern football team
is to come North to play against a
team which has colored member, if
IS well to consider an episode in the
career of Kenny Washington, Ameri-
cas- greatest football player" Les
ter Rodney, recently had occasion to
describe the occurrence as follows:
Second year on the team This
junior year, Southern Methodist Dal-
las, Iexasl comes up to play Univer-
Slty OF California at Los Angeles. A
lew Southern die-hards at Dallas
advise against the game as sin rough
game like football there's bound to be
bad feeling between Southern bows
and a colored player Southern
Methodist's great team just noses out
UCLA in hard, clean game in which
Kenny plays the entire sixty minutes
ana his terrific tackles spill SMU
backs all over the lot. The Texas
boys make special point of shaking
hands heartily with Kenny after the
game and upon returning to Dallas,
choose him unanimously as the finest
player and sportsman they have faced
all year In an article for the school
magazine"
"In a rough game like football
there's bound to be bad feeling be-
tween Southern boys and colored
player" was the pretext for the gra-
tutous advice that cloaked the dis
comtiture of reactionary Texans. And
Scurlously enough, it is in liberty
loving Boston that Southern Bour-
ibonism's trickery is upheld by the
66enching of young Montgomery for
fear" said BIC, che might get hurt. "
That colored players have played
against all-white football teams in
Texas (and at Dallas, too) without
any untoward incident is common
knowledge among followers of the
game: Texas students acts of cour-
tesy to Kenny Washington measured
up to the best traditions of American
sport.
The facts are we'll known and easily
available, At least they do not help
any to whitewash the shameful mud
ding of the Lou Montgomery case.

stead of setting up elaborate ma
chinery to do research, the high
school students who are not going
to college would organize a project
to make their own survey by per-
sonal inquiry in their home com
munities as to what job opportuni-
ties will be open for them in June,
they will not only learn a great deal
about the industry and commerce of
their communities that will be valu-
able, but a good many of them will
find opportunities"
This is a sensible suggestion; it has
been tried with success in notable in
stances which many persons could men
ton offhand. An important aspect is
that it calls into exercise the spirit of
personal initiative so often praised by
popular lecturers on the careers of
Americas successful men and women.
Personal initiative is the essence of
the "go-getter" personality-the in
dividual who never seems to tire of
thinking up and trying out some new
or novel angle of enterprise in his on
ward drive for results. Such PERSONS
may be said to have an inward, I'M
quenchable urge to win.
Now and then boy from New York
comes here and gets a job which was
Fright under our noses" Superior
boy? Not necessarily so. A Boston
boy goes over to New York and he
lands job "right under the noses"
of New Workers. A wide-awake. ex-
perienced business leader when asked
why was this, replied: "The boy got
a job because he HAD to get a Job
His parents were not there to provide
him with food and shelter. He Just
HAD to find work" That NAV be a
fair-enough explanation. At any rate,
whatever the cause, it still is persist
ency despite failure and rebuff that
counts a great deal in the search for
employment. The rules haven't changed
one bit since the days of our grand
fathers grandfathers.

LOOKING AROUND
and BEYOND
By
FRANK R. CROSSWAITH

ONCE AGAIN THE question of Fed
eral jurisdiction over the evil of lynch
ing is before the American people by
virtue of the anti-lynching bill which
the House of Representatives recently
passed As in the past, Party lines
were broken and we find both Repub-
licans and Democrats opposing and de-
Tending the legislation. This division
will also obtain when the measure goes
before the Senate.
OF COURSE, AS per custom the
Southern Democratic Senators will
bear the hrunt of opposition to the
measure. Conscious of the inability of
the Colored people in the Southland to
take political reprisals, those gentlemen
will proceed as of yore to heap noun
tains of insult upon the head of Col
ored America. History, the arts, an
thropology and other sciences, logic ct
al will be prostituted by them to sus-
tain their devotion to lynching. The
country and the world will again be
exposed to the blah! blah about the
raping proclivities of the Colored man,
about how inherently inferior he is to
white man and about all the other
types of tripe that tribbles out of the
mouths of Southern Senators when
they are called upon to consider a ques-
ton involving a Colored person. The
saddest part of the whole story is that
there is no one in either the House or
Senate with sufficient courage and
knowledge to effectively answer the
spokesman of cruelty, barbarism and
ignorance as they take refuge behind
estate rights" "human nature" "the
Constitution" and all the other smoke
screens with which we have long be-
come familiar.
ALREADY ONE CONGRESSMAN
from the State of Texas sought to JUS
tify his traditional opposition to the
bill by pointing with pride to a chart
which showed that the number of lynch
ings had been considerably reduced
within recent years. He wanted his
colleagues in the House and the people
of the Nation as a whole to forget the
fact that shortly after chattel slavery
was destroyed thus removing the fnan-
cial values originally involved in the
body of a Colored man, we have had
about 5000 lynchings in the United
States.
PERHAPS THE MOST interesting
phase of the discussion which ensued
on the floor of the House was the tilt
between Representative Fish, Repub
