has long been more or less
dormant.
We may now expect a full-seale
battle waged by the Southern
contingent in the Senate against
vote on this legislation, and if
we are to judge by Dixie tactics
In the past, there will be a full
scale filibuster.
The action of the Labor and
Welfare Committee follows close
ly the recommendations of Presi-
dent Truman made several days
ago. and is already increasing the
fury of the South against him.
What with favorable action vot-
ed by other committees on the
Federal Anti-Lyncrhing bill and
the Anti-Poll Tax bill, a full
fledged fight is in prospect and
may be confidently predicted.
The South is on the defensive
as never befroe. as indicated by
the frantic measures proposed by
Southern politicians to fight the
President and, If possible, to de-
feat the administration in the
194S eledtion.
The South today finds itself in
a different position because politi-
cally 1t has nowhere to go, despite
the righteousness of its propos-
ais.
1t 1t almost uncomfortable that
the bulk of the Southern White
voters will vote Republican, al
though the COP carried several
Southern states in 1928, and could
do so again.
This leaves them right where
they are-voting for the Demo-
cratic machine because they can
not do anything else If they hope
to retain their oligarchical pow
ers and privileges.

SCHOOL HISTORY A
BRILLIANT RECORD

The Ruth whiteside School of
Beauty Culture was founded In
1914. This marks four years OF
accomplishments.
Seeing the need for an institu-
ton in the Pacific Northwest, the
founder comprehended this great
idea to train unskilled women.
Madame Whiteside, one of the
youngest business women of this
type took this responsibility with
pride, ambition and seeing the
future for others, with pleasure.
All through the four years her
teaching has been, "glve to the
world the best you have and the
best will come back to you"
For one to do his best must
not think of himself alone, or
just how much the other person
advance head of him. One can
not harm others without harm
ing himself" In this institution
cleanliness is the first step. Good
behavior following closely behind.
All chemicals used are standard
chemicals. while formulas are mix.
ed by students. In the past year
many women passed through the
portals of this spacious. modern
institution trained practically and
scientifically.

Legislation aforementioned, they
love their powers even more, and
sweeping COP victory would
completely shatter their organi-
zation.
In the end it will be seen that
they will vote the straight Demo
cratic ticket after playing ball all
down the line at the Democratic
National Convention.
There is nothing left for the
Southern solons except to resort
to the filibuster against these
measures, and whether they can
successfully do this depends upon
the action of the Republican ma
jority which can vote cloture of
debate II 1t is really interested In
seeing the FEPC bill enacted into
law.
Unfortunately there is con-
siderable number of Republicans
who are not willing to support
FEPC legislation and some of
them have made this clear.
While the South's attitude on
FEPC, Anticipating and Anti
Poll Tax is well known and gen.
orally deplored. there is reason to
believe that this attitude is not
shared by an increasingly large
number of Southern whites, and
this worries the eactionary South
ern politicians who, in the last
analysis. must have votes in or
der to stay in power.
There are ominous rumblings
down South indicating that the
days of the Old Guard dictator
ship are about to end.
This fight for the enactment
of Federal FEPC, Anticipating
and Anti-Poll Tax laws may be
the final showdown between the
forces of the past and those OF
the future.
