-MISSISSIPPI MAKES A
" GESTURE.
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 <

because of certain bumps on th?
cranium.
Now, -what' do you think abou
it? I'll admit that I'm confused
I know, but I don't. When on<
, do's 'everything a human being
seems able to do; when one bring!
to bear upon a situation time, tal
ents, knowledge and whatnot am
then fails to kick goal you wondei
why another guy who does scarce'
ly anythtng~ scores toner-down
wonder why two thoroughly Conv
petent professional men in th?
same field with the good background
they have, and apparently
equal advantages make such different
progress. One soars to th(
top, the other flounders about a1
the bottom. Is it luck? ?
, J-Jwonder why a plain, oftimes
ignorant and trifling woman puts
matrimonial handcuffs on an extraordinary
man, while a good lool
ing, intelligent and sometimes in"dustrious>
woman goes unmarried
all of her days. Is it luck?good
and bad?
What is the answer to this lucl<
busir?\ss anyway?. Don't tell mc
that it is pluck alone. Who doesn't
know some person who has worked?like?a?fool,
denied?himself,
scraped" and saved, and still he
wis of our faculty up and on the
job again.

S LUCK?
, barely l.ves above the ' ordinary,
has never reached the goal. And
me years are supping Dy too. is
\ takes pluck to win, but there must
be something else*?some other in1
gredient in the success pfescripJ
tion. .
1 born to have good luck-?just that
1 alone. That carries me too far
afield and destroys nv^T faith In ~the
*. fairness of Him wro made us all.
Theife's something else.
' ' 1
Bon't tell me that bumps on my
2 head regulate my good or bad for- /
tune. I've seen bumpy and bump
s less he&ds go up and down. Not there's
something else.
Good luck or bad luck must txi
' the result of certainsituations and
certain environments into which
certain people fit or don't fit. For
there certainly are fit* and misnts
J in this life.- Anybody who is not
" a success is a misfit no matter
' wrat his qualifications may be.
When the time, the pla'u and
. thiTgiri^are^found fry th^man,^ne?
. have home, sweet home, tf you
> ignore the set-up, that's bad luck. " ~
You cannot have good fortune
t in the wrong environment ora with
. the -wrong tools although the en>
vironment be the garden of the
; gods and the tools be made of
gold. If one does not fit a Certain
situation, that's bad luck?his. If
; he does, that's good luck.
1 Often men stnve for money in
stead of hunting for their proper
: places in the world. We get out
of our places and we have misfor|1
tune or bad luck.
' I Now, those are my ideas. What
are yours? Do you differ? I'll be
glad to hear from you, and to dis!
cuss this good luck business with
you. Until then, good luck, what'
| ever that is.
