SENATOR SMITH'S ANN F L L PiCTL RE Senator Smith of South Caro iina ;s opposed to President Roosevelt'; Supreme Court reformation With that we think?the Senatoi is or solid ground, but for decidedly different reasons, in fact, if trhe reason given by the Senator is the real reason for his opposition, it would be better fAr him to be with the President for it is apparent that he is guided by his emotions and not what one would expect from a mature statesman. Spea'-ing of the President's plan, the ?. r.ator writes a friend: "If this thing passes, the packing of the Supreme Court, then, whatnuni* i Vro T'vncirloMf U? done. The anti-lynching bill will pass and bo declared constitutional. The old civic rights' bill, that Thaddeus Stephens lead jv.ssed, and \vh:ch J.he Supreme Court declared unconstitutional, will be revived, and the Negroes will demand the right to attend white schools, seats in the theaters, in a whole, every civil right that the whites enjoy regardless of state lines. It is the most dangerous QI li JPJ. Mi < '?.1 :' 1i *** thing', that has ever occured." ' I Of course, the picture etched by I the Senator is tine for rabble-raisng but it won't bear the analysis of cold logic. But who cares or logic when lambasting the Negro? It maybe that the Senator was thinking more of his campaign for re-election next year than of' the President's Supreme Couit plan. We do not think howevtr that he will be able to hide the picture of the President, with whom it is i^tty well known he is not too much in love, with a ~ "picture of the - "terrible" Negro. ) JUDGE IIAjSTIE , Wt; .shrnild say Federal Judge , W. 11. llastie. lie was confirmed by the U.

Judge II as tie is the th>t-_xolored jiu?n to attain the > exalted position of a federal judge ~ and too he is one" of the youngest i such judge, being only d2 years of age. Mr. llastie by training is well fitted for the position, having received his education at Amherst j college and Harvard law school, i The appointment of Judge llastie by President Roosevelt is but another indication Xkafa??in lhe j \\ hue House this country has a broad-minded, liberal and coura] geous MAN.
