Haul Out Old Cars.
Competitors in the 1888 and 1899
Derby races are digging out their
cars, cleaning and oiling them up

big afternoon.

ilton said today.
"On Saturday. after closing hours

YOU"
Meanwhile, plans for the Derby
were progressing, with work going
forward on the reconstruction of
the wooden starting ramp to con-
form to new, safe design.
Ramps Height Reduced.
Mr.. Hamilton said the old ramp,
which was used in the 1888 and
1889 races, was being reduced in
height by about half. In addition,
the inclined surfaces will be sepa-
rated to take advantage of the
wider street available this year for
the race
Heats will be run in elimination
rounds of three cars each, he point
ed out, allowing not only a greater
margin for safety. but also per-
mitting a greater distribution Of
prizes than ever before

tion rounds first will be run to
determine champions in class "A"
and class "B" That is, boys in
class "a" from 13 to IS years old
inclusive, will race against each
other and champion will be chosen.
The II and II year olds in class

in the House debate that the anti.
lynching bill has become a politicaI
gesture - supported by members
both Democratic and Republican
from the North and West in the
hope Of winning the votes Of the
Negro voters in those sections OF
the country. This charge was made
by members from the Southern
States, who proclaimed themselves
just as violently opposed to lynch
ings as the supporters of the meas
ure. but insisted that the bill was
a clear violation Of the Constitution
and States rights.
Opponents of the bill pointed out
that last year only three had been
lynched in the whole United States
as clear evidence that sentiment
against mob violence has made such
headway in all parts of the country
there is no reason for a Federal
statute dealing with lynching. They
contended that the States-those
of the South as we'll as those OF
the North and West-are handling
the lynching evil themselves-and
that under the Constitution 1t Is the
duty Of the States and not OF Fed
eral Government to deal with such
matters.
Deny Playing Politics.
The supporters Of the bill denied
that they were playing politics in
advocating the passage Of the anti
lynching bill, insisting they had In
mind only the prevention Of mob
violence, which has been responsible
for great number OF lyncnings in
the past.
There was one revealing incident
in the debate. however. Representa-
tive Mitchell OF Illinois, colored
member Of the House, attacked the
Republican members of the House
who were going to vote for the bill
on the ground that they intended
so to vote for the purpose Of WIN
ming back to the Republican fold
the Negro voters in the North and
West. Mr. Mitchell Is Democrat
And Mr.. Mitchell wants the Negro
voters to support the Democratic
party. 1t is dif1icult to understand
why Republicans from the North
and West who vote for the anti
lynching bill must be charged with
playing politics with the Negro vote,
when Democrats from those sec
tions who also vote for the bill are
not to be 50 charged.
This Is An election year. In New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania
Ohio. Illinois and Indiana, for
example, there are large numbers
OF Negro voters. So numerous are
they that they could easily hold the
balance OF power in these pivotal
States, If they all stuck together.
So the record the parties make in
Congress on this anti-lynching bill,
which has been demanded again
and again as a protection to Negroes
from mob violence In the South. is
held to be important.

majority In the Senate. Yet it is
clear to all that II the anti-lynching
bill is to fail at the present session
|of Congress 1t will be because of
the stout opposition of the Demo-
cratic Senators from the South.
There are no Republican Senators
from that section Of the country.
The Republicans in the Senate will
support the measure-as they did In
the House-almost to man. Sena-
tor Eorah of Idaho is an exception.
He does not believe the bill Is con-
stitutional and made his record
against q similar measure when 1t
came up the last time in the Senate,
only to fail.
Senator Connally Of Texas, who
played a leading part In the last
f1libuster which killed an anti
1ynching bill In the Senate, is plan
ming now to kill this one. He will
ask for hearings before the Judi
ciary Committee, to which the bill
Is expected to be referred. He will
have the committee go into the
lynching cases OF last year-two in
number, two men were lynched to-
gether for one alleged crime. Com
mittee hearings consume time-and
can be made to consume 4 lot of
time.
The opponents Of the anti-lynch.
Ing bill are in better case to fight
the measure than on the last oc-
casion-a couple Of years ago. At
that time an agreement had been
obtained to make the anti-lynch-
ing bill a special order Of busi-
ness, and 1t became the unfinished
business. But no such agreement
exists now. The opponents OF the
measure can and will make their
Tight right from the drop of the
hat, on any motion to take 1t up.
They can, If they wish, filibuster
not only the motion to take up;
they can filibuster the reading OF
the journal of the Senate Itself
as was done number Of years ago,
when an earlier effort was made
to put through the Senate q SINH
lar bill.
Administration Leaders Cool,
Administration leaders are not
elated over the idea Of having the
anti-lynching bill brought into the
Senate at the present session. They
know that 1t will lead to a knock
down. drag-out fight, with the prob
abilities against the final passage
OF the bill. The supporters OF the
bill outside of Congress, however.
are intent upon having the bill
taken up In the Senate and pressed
to vote. They are likely to point
out to the Democratic majority that
the bill is their baby. and that 1t
Is up to the Democrats to get 1t
through.
The record of lynchings in this
country Is not pretty thing to look
at. Yet when the record is brought
down to date. it shows that lynch
ings not only have been on the
wane. but have nearly been elimi-
mated. The assertion is made by
opponents of the Federal anti
lynching bill that the passage of
such legislation may result easily
In increasing lynchings-and the
crimes for which men are lynched.
In the period from 1882 to 1892,
the average number of lynchings
per year was l55; from 1893 to
1903, 1873 each year; from 1904 to
1914, 80 each year; In 1925, there
were 20 lynchings; in 1896, 9: in
1887, 8; in 1888, 6, and in 1899,
2 lynchings with 3 lives taken.
There should no no lynchings-
not one, or two or three, In a year.
