While the blatant Senator o f, Mississippi, Hmi. T. u. makes an ass of himself in the U. S. Senate filibustei ing against the Anti-lynching bill, h s State thru the action of its House of Ropre ocuitiii vt*a n its to impress tne -country that the practice of lynching helpless men and women is no longer to be tolerated. By an overwhelm!ng vote?8(5 to i)?tlie House passed a-bill dealing speo fically with the crime of lynching. Of course, before such action becomes aJaw, the State Senate will have to also vote favorably on ?such a?bilL. .Coming..as. it does at this particular time, one cannot become too enthusiast/c over this attempt by Mississippi to deal wi'.h lynching. While one - must believe that the best sentiment of the best people ci! that State abhor, the crime of lynching a ri cT would put an end to" it, yet one cannot forget that il? Senator,1 Mr. B-lho. must undoubtedly be interpreting the. thoughts and desires of a mighty large number of -i? ? the eitix^n? of-that -Stnto;- other*wise, he would not?be ta.king up the time of the U. S. Senate with his insensate braying hours aftei ?hours?The Senator. we___undc rstand, is some k'nd of a prea'cher, or at least was. If that is true, then we. express the hope that tire love of God will find a place jn his heart before he is called from labor to rest. > . TAXPAYKRS TOO. Senator Hiram Johnson of California does not like the Yeeently enacted Farm Bill and opposed it with his characteristic vigor and eloquence. It is rather strange, though that a man of his calibre should have resorted to racial projudice t<y buttress his argument against the Bil). Maybe, he is not over fiond ?f lho Secretary of Agriculture, Henry Wallace, under whose jurisdiction the law will.'be y&dministerod. But even' at that, he is not justified in making a "nastyflihg" at the colored people. He accused Secretary Wallace of "abusing and misusing" his au- . thority by "bringing every Negro , editor in the Nation here at the. them the Farm BiTI, so they might carry the good news to their peopIe." Now, according to tho?Row. a tor that... \y as a ^roat/crime instead of good common serise and", intelligence. Just why shouldn't the millions of Negroes, who earn their living by farm operation be informed? And who best eould disseminate the necessary infor : maticm than the editors through ' the colored press ? Apd "at the taxpayers' expense-" Does the learned Senator rrot know that Ne- 1 just why should not a few cents of the monev they help provide he spent for tha'r benefit? Evidently, the Senator was hard pressed for an argument. He certainly ought know by now that the colored citizens of the country are hearing their just proportion of the taxes, ' which he along with other officers so generously appropriate wisely at tithes and sometimes^foolishly. The fair anddog.'cal mind will have no difficulty in deciding between the idea odl Secretary - Wallace 1 which lad him to seek the aid and 1 help of the colored editor* ai)d that of the Senator who seems toi^ think, in this matter that "ignor-1 < since ils bliss." < t'AHKI.AM) NEWS .
