Editorial Correspondence
WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 13. We would likes to stick
around here until the congress adjourns, for to an outlander
from the unnhaved wilderness, it is fascinating to be a keyhole
peeker at the federal " merry-go-round. "
But it can't be done. We haven't had time even to look in
at the house, but have spent most all of three days in the
senate srallery watching the animals perform. And tomorrow
we must go on to New York to keep rather an important
engagement with the other (and younger) members of the
family.
It's odd about hunches. We had no inside information at
all, and there was no reason to believe there would be anything
of particular interest when the senate convened yesterday noon.
But we had a distinct feeling, from the outset, there was some
thing stirring. It was just a hunch. When we took our seats in
the gallery, however, we were sure of it. There were more
senators on the floor than usual a quarter of an hour before
the opening; and even more unusual, the press gallery started
to fill up at that early hour. There was a distinct air of excite
ment and expectancy abroad.
s
That acidulous and weather-beaten old cockatoo from Texas,
Vice-President Garner, took his seat, and rapped for order. The
senators found their places more quickly than usual, and the
buzz of conversation died down almost immediately. Then the
big gun was fired "a message from the president," An
envelope was handed the senate reading clerk, he sliced it open
and started to rend "I nomiuato Hugo L. Black," and then
the fireworks stnrted. On objection from the floor, the chair
stopped further reading, but the cat was out of the bag of
course. The long awaited appointment to the Supreme Court,
by the president had been made, and one of his strongest parti
sans, the head of the Black investigating committee, had been
given the coveted honor, trom all we have been able to learn
the choice was a complete surprise, to everyone but to the
president himself. Another precedent smashed, and another
punching bag erected for the Roosevelt hater's to expend their
excess energy upon.
Senator Ashnrst of Arizona
was an honored and unbroken precedent, that the senate never
refused confirmation of one of its own members to the Supreme
Bench. Being a member well known to all, Senator Black's
acceptability would be granted as a matter of course. Such
action however would require unanimous consent. And Senator
Hiram .Johnson, refused to give it.
Hiram like many other of the elder statesmen is showing
his age. Tn a voice that quavered and words that faltered, he
opined that the regular course of procedure best be followed.
Another senator was of the same opinion. It was decided to
hold over senate action, nntil today, and proceed with the
anti-lynching talkfest.
That, we grant, is a very inadequate description of the event.
For it wasn't a matter of words or action, as much as feeling.
For several minutes there was a tension in the atmosphere that
could literally be felt. Everything was hushed, the quaver in
Hiram Johnson's voice was not due entirely to his years. We
happened to notice Senator McNary's youthful and school girl
complexion. He looked the picture of perfect health when we
bade him good-bye the night before. In a few seconds there
on the floor he was drawn and old, every trace of color had
left, his face. He said nothing. Only three senators did. But
what, a chapter in political history could be written', if some
machine had been handy that could have recorded all the
assembled THOUGHTS I
This is written before the senate couvenes at noon. The
general idea is the nomination will be opposed on technical
not personal grounds, Borah as usual will call in the Constitu
tion, and something will be said about the regulation that no
senator can benefit, financially from a law, passed by the cou
gress of which he is or was a member. Some will contend no
vacancy exists, that Sutherland did not resign, but merely
retired on full pay, and is therefore still a member of the court.
However we have been able to find n" one, who thinks Black
will be turned down by the senate frvi the practical stand
point opposition will be merely a matter of going through the
motions.
The real objection to Senator Black will probably not be
mentioned in the senate. After all the upper house, is first, Inst
nnd all the time an exclusive club, and has its traditions to
be maintained. One is that dirt should be thrown at, no member
in good standing. If that IS done, the house will have to do it.,
Only praise for Black, as a citizen and lawyer, can be heard.
He has been popular in the senate. But on the other hand, in
the press gallery or nowhere else have we heard ANYONE
suggest that he is of judicial temperament, or really BIG enough
for a job of that sort.
lira. Black and her small son happened to sit directly in
front of us in the gallery. An attractive woman, in her middle
thirties, well dressed, highly elated of course, Senntor LsFollette
sent her a note of congratulation from the floor, which she rend
and then turned over to the young boy to decipher. Men and
women kept coming up to shake her hand. She carried it off
very well. Obviously tickled pink and yet quite dignified about
it. It, occurred to us however that the congratulations tniitht
have becu reserved until the appointment had been confirmed.
. .
Speaking of judicial confirmations there is still some hitch
regarding the federal judgeship for Oregon. Claude MeCollocb
of Klamath Falls got the appointment, but has been called to
Washington for investigation by the senate committee headed
by Borah. Don't know who! her Bill intends to call id the
constitution concerning Claude
be some stiff cross examining according to report. Another
report on the highest authority, declares President Roosevelt
is pretty well fed up on the inability of Oregon Democrats to
agree on ANYTHING .and thinks the members of his party in
the W'cbfoot. stnte, should snap out of it. (Wait, until the guber
natorial free-for-all he ain't seen nothin' yet I) However with
McColloch as with Senator Black, in the end there will be
nothing but talk, both appointments will be confirmed all
right.
Have lo hand it to the Uxicahs of this place. Haven't ben
able to figure nut how they can stay in business. From the
capital to this hotel must be two or three miles at the very

.....
Met Our Walter (Pierce) jogging laboriously in the tunnel
corridor from the house to the senate. He had his coat on his
arm suspender cn rampant and a look of such sadness and
fatigue on his aging face, Hint we hadn't the heart to make him
feel worse by greeting hint and making him stop. They say
he had just been to a meeting regarding the McColloch mailer,
which perhaps accounts for it.
The outstanding feature of the Anti-Lynching bill debate,
hs been the heat and passion of the southern senators who
oppose it. There is no fake shout it, not for a minute, the
boys from south of the Mason and Dixon line are going to fight
this measure to the death, and put everything they have in it.
It's quite an eye opener and a shock to a northerner, like the
present writer who has never visited in the south, merelv passed
through it and therefore doesn't know it.
The idea thnt ANY self respeetinj eitiren of this country,
could seriously uphold Judge Lynch, it incredible to u. And
proceeded to explain that there
or not. But there is going to
yet while these southern senators all deny thst this is what
thev do, boil down their attitude to the essentials, and they do
NOTHING ELSE! They talk a lot about states rights, the
eivil war and the Sacred Constitution CBorah assisting them of
course) but what thev REALLY sav is this:
"DON'T TAKE THE RIGHT OR THE THREAT OF
LYNCHING FROM US, WE MUST HAVE THAT TO KEEP
THE NIGGER IN HIS PLACE I"
And they MEAN it every word of it.
Even such a fine old statesman as Carter Glass of Virginia,
got so enraged and aroused yesterday that we feared he would
end his admirable caree right there with a stroke. And
Smith of South Carolina likewise, it wasn't play acting, there
were tears in his voice real ones. We admit we were stirred
by it, while disagreeing with EVERY portion of his argument.
Perhaps if we really knew the south, we could understand it.
Not having this knowledge we CAN'T! R. W. R.

But back to the weeek'i lobby
atory.
When the southern agriculture
commissioner arrived in Washington
a week ago. Mr. Westbrook took them
in charge. There were at least 13 dif
ferent proposals, aimed at providing
our for the sick cotton prices,
brought to town.
The colonel steppe pd up. mentioned
tha necessity for speed and proceeded
to give an example of it. In no time,
he had boiled down the proposals to
three, and had the commissioners
agreeing on them.
This settled, Mr. Westbrook waved
hla wand and the delegation found lt
Vlf at the White House.
The first meeting with the presi
dent waa very friendly, but appar
ently futile. "I'm a cotton farmer
myself," or words to that effect, the
president told the commissioners. But
he didn't change his verdict of no fi
nancial aid without crop control leg
islation.
Secretary Wallace was no lesa firm.
The house committee on agriculture
was somewhat friendlier. But when
It came to meeting with "Cotton Ed"
Smlth'a senatorial group, the situa

"Your voice to me is as sweet as
the voice of a baying hound," said
the senator when the spokesman had
concluded his statement.
Then followed the second White
House conference, which apparently
gave King Cotton what he was after.
Meanwhile report were circulated
that the president was still adamant
but one more wave of the magic wand
and Mr. Westbrook'a petitioners were
back with the president. This time,
they left satisfied.
