II has about as much place on
the modern scene as high-top but
ton shoes, bustles or horse-draWn

herring drawn across the national
horizon by those whose real pur-
pose is protection, not OF the SOW
ereigntv of the states but of their
own selfish interests and special
privileges.
STATES NOT THREATENED
The men who raise this bogus
issue know fully well that no one
threatens state government. No
suggestion or effort has been made
| to deny to any of the states those
things that are guaranteed them
under the Constitution.
The real rub comes when
little men who have seized
much power in the individual
states exercise that power In
denyir1r citizens Of the United
states rights guaranteed them
under the Constitution.
when the federal government
steps in to safeguard those Of its
citizens whose rights have been
violated, the bogus yelp OF states
rights is invariably raised by the

CHICAGO-A " P)-The story
of the Negroes participation III
American life will be told more
dramatically than ever in the fu-
ture if the Chicago public library
employees have anything to 90
about it. A list of books, covering
all periods of Negro life in the
western hemisphere, has been COM
piled by a special committee OF
the library employees union as a
contribution to Negro history week.
The idea behind the move to
make it possible for Americans TO
know more about what the Negro
has contributed toward making rms
nation citadel CT democracy IS
to extend American principles OF
democracy and brotherhood at
home. Since Librarians have a deep
responsibility for intellectual and
civic leadership in their communi-
ties, they can combat the evils OF
race prejudice by presenting TO
the public books that will tell the
true story about the Negro.

DRIVE NATIONWIDE
Forty EIGHT affiliated branches of

Negro schools and colleges and
other community groups and insti-

quarters at 1888 Broadway, New

passage of an honest Soldier-vote

FIELD Is BROADENED
Now we find that no longer is
the battlecry of states rights res
! tricted to entangling the action of
the federal government in the legis-
lative field. It's magic as weapon
against the federal government
has been broadened TO those local
areas where discrimination is the
rule and segregation the practice.
No longer than last week
you saw Sheriff ii. III. lessen,
secretary of the South Carolina
Sheriff's Association, trying TO
prevent the Federal Bureau of
Investigation from continuing
its fine work of prosecuting
officers, who feel they can
with impunity totally disregard
the Bill of Rights when IL
comes to dealing with Negro
citizens.
Resented was the action Of The

South Carolina sheriff for brutal
~ beating a Negro prisoner, a
direct violation of the federal civil
liberties statute.
A FINE OPPORTUNITY
"'The federal government is
about to take all of our states
rights from us" bemoaned brother
lessen, saying by implication that
states rights to him meant the
right to abrogate the rights guar
anteed its citizens by the federal
government.
President Roosevelt's attack on
this states rights bunk should
Spearhead of an about drive
against the reactionaries, who have
polished up this nioldy device as
q weapon to block progress. The
crisis over soldier-vote legislation
is a fine opportunity to smash not
only the unholy alliance of reac-
tionary Republicans and poll-tax
democrats, but to bury forever the
phony. despicable and fraudulent
issue Of states rights. Until this Is
done, there appears to be little
hope that the democratic ideal for
which our men are fighting and
dying abroad, will ever be achieved
at home
