Cavalcade Scenery
As Real As Nature
Dallas, Texas, April 27—The
trees in the scenery of "Cavalcade
of the Americas," spectacle of the
Pan American Exposition, may lie
too real, thinks the stage manager
of the show, which will open here
June 12. The trees, though built
of plaster of Paris, shiplap
and canvas, are so real in ap-
pearance that great flocks of birds
are building their nests in the
branches and sympathetic foliage.
"The rich natural color, together
with the height of the scenery,
seem to be the main attraction,"
said W. 0. Brickey, supervisor of
construction on the stage. "We
wanted the trees to look real, and
are favorably impressed that our
feathered friends are selecting them
in preference to the real thing."
Construction of the largest stage
in the world is progressing rapidly,
according to A. L. Vollman, pro-
ducer-director. The sound room,
one of the finest ever developed for
show business, should be completed
late this week. Work on the 20-
wagon stages is well under way.
keae ectn ia t he scales
Columbus' ship, the
Santa Maria". The hull of the
boat is ready for the paint job, and
rigging will begin before the close
of the week.
One of the major attractions of
the set will be the sixty foot volca-
no, which will erupt in an early
scene. The development of the
spectaular eruption has been a real
technical problem, but it will be
real in every detail. "In fact,"
said Manley K. Nash, designer, "it
will be so real I believe the birds
will leave their newly-built nests
in the plaster trees."
Mrs. J. R. Baber has been real
sick the past few days. We are
glad to learn she is some better.

(CONGRESSMAN TEXAS]
ANTI-LYNCHINCJ LAW
A few years ago" there was one
lynching each year to every 300,000
people. During the last year, there
has been oidy one lynching to eve-
ry sixteen million people. The
Anti-Lynching Bill pending in Con-
gress provides that any state officer
who fails to make diligent effort to
protect his prisoner, shall be guilty
of a felony; that Federal district
courts will have jurisdiction to
punish members of mobs in accord-
ance with state laws, when it is
shown that the responsible local
officers have failed to prosecute and
that the jurors obtainable by such
court are so biased that there is a
probability that the'guilty persons
will not be punished in such court;
that any county in which a person
is mobbed from failure of the state
officers to perform their duty shall
be liable in damages from 82,000 to
810,000 recoverable in civil action
for the injured person or his repre-
sentative by the United States dis-
trict attorney. Should a mob
seize a person in one county and
kill him in another, both counties
shall lie jointly and severally liable
for such forfeiture.
This bill has the opposition of
practically all the Members from
Southern States, who contend that
it is just as reasonable to punish
officers, counties and states for not
diligently enforcing other laws, such
as burglary, taking property with-
out consent, and for similar offenses.
If such a bill is finally enacted into
law, it will likely be much weaker
than the present proposal. It has
strong support, however, from
Representatives and Senators, who
are from Districts and States where
negroes exercite political power. A
mob is defined to be an assemblage
of three or more persons acting in
concert without authority of law
to kill or injure any person in the
custody of any peace officer.
SUPREME COURT CHANGE
It is mv opinion that the Court
Bill will be enacted into law in sub-
stantially the same form as propos-
ed by the President; at least the
same principle will likely be includ-
ed, if not in exactly the same form.
In order for the Suprme Court to
be packed, the applicants for Sup-
reme Court Judgeships must be

corrupt andthey must be recom
mended by a corrupt President
and must be confirmed by a cor-
rupt United States Senate. Since
the people elect the Senators, in
order to do a successful job of pack
ing the Court, the people would
have to be a partner in it, which, of
course, is impossible. When an ap-
plicant is recommended by the
President, a Senate Committee will
as customary, call that applicant
before the Committee, and any

member may ask him any question
he desires; after a hearing befort* cheal, of Linden visited in the Roy
the Committee,the question of con
firmation comes before the United
States Senate, consisting of 90
Members, more than a majority of
whom must vote for the confirma-
tion, or such applicant will not be
confirmed. Upon confirmed, as a
Judge, he will hold office for life or
during good behavior. Can any
President, or any other person
control the decisions of a judge,
who has a lifetime job and cannot
be removed except for misbeha-
vior?
No President expects any Judge
recommended by him to agree with
him on everything. The viewpoint
of the selected Judge, however, has
much to do with whether or not
decisions will be in the interest of
the masses of the people and hu-
man rights or with the special pri-
vileged few who already have too
firm a grip upon the throats of the
American people.
LONG SESSION TAXES
BUDGET
It is perdicted that this session
of Congress will remain in session
through the summer and possibly
until September or October. Behind
the Supreme Court issue a huge
log-jam of legislation is being piled
up that cannot be broken until the
Court problem is out of the way.
The president's relief message clari-
fies the budget and tax outlook.
There is no sent iment for new taxes
but if certain bills pass, which Con-
gress seems to favor, the deficit will
be very large, or new taxes will be
necessary. The Farm Tenancy,
Housing, Aid to Education, and
other bills will requre appropria-
tions to carry them out if passed.
The Farm Tenancy Bill seems cer-
tain, and Housing, probable, but
Aid to Education does not look so
good at this session at this time.
GOLD PRICE.
If the price of gold should be re-
duced from 835 an ounce to
830 an ounce, cotton and all other
commodities sold on t he world price
would automatically be reduced
one-seventh. As the price of gold
increases, the price of cotton in-
creases and vice versa. If gold is
decreased in value 10%, cotton will |
be reduced in price 10%. The i
gold problem is becoming serious i
since it seems that all the gold in !
the world is headed in this direc-1
tion. It occurs to me that it would
be a serious mistake for the price
of gold to be reduced. We must
have higher farm prices, not lower.
