Jan. 15 —The second ttey «#- 4eb»fci on the federal anti*lynchingr bill epgfied—tWfl——with—Senntcrr William E. >Borah of Idaho makr ing • vicious attacic upon foe Ne gro Tace while supposedly oppo- niiiff th« anti-lynchinfc bill. The Borah speech, accordini? to fleaaoned observers, is l‘ar worse than any that has beon made so far by any southerner on tSie floor -of Cqngresa. The Idaho senator did not^ de bate the merit% ^of the bill or the question of lynching in its bro^ aspects, tout immedialfly placed the whole question -on n raeiai basis and pro€*«d#d to de fend the South by attacking Ne groes. ^ Tlie Idaho senator began 'by asking that ho'rot inteiTinted and stated that he was interested I in the consitutionality of the anti-Iyncning bill, but he felt that other questions reeded to be discussed also. He then proc-ied- ed to fight the Civil war all ovct .again and to go through the re- conatruction period. .He^dragged all the race hatjed^’ar|;uments ao popular in the Deep^.^uth. ■ ‘Borah Jeclared' that-^Jie anti- lynching bill was designed to ptUory th« .South' and that it- ataa. forced on the South against its win. He naid the South had bech butdened with a great race pro sections in the ■ country didn’t understand it, and that the South had made a "great record’’ in handling the race proiblem. Bo- tah ignored entirely tbe fact.that according to the Galiup .poll. 57 per cent of the South is in favor of this legislation: nor did he pay any attention- to the fact that more than a dozen of the leading newspapers of the South are fir the bill. iBorah cited figrues to show the htSfh percentage of Neigroes in jail in the South and presumably was making the argument that Negroes have to'be lynched 'op- cause they are of a_ criminal na ture and that is the only method cf curbing them. | Continuing his bitter attacH upon colored people, the Idaho senator asserted that Negroes would escape lynching when they become economically self-suffici ent. In analyzing this argument, it is difficult to escape the con viction that Borah is using he poverty of the Negro as a justi fication for ”' lynching him. ' In oth^r'words, us. long aa a'x’OUP of people is poor, it is subject to be lynched and nothing can be tse most ahameful one in its li ^belHng o# the Wegre >ace and ^vicious half truths and misinter pretations that ha* ever benn j inade on the flocrtr «(f thtf Senate I His attack is all fae moro un- . sportmanlike because the Negro ne« has no apokeaman in the Se nate equipped to answer an at tack such as this. There are many friends of the Negro in the Se nate who are prepared to ad vance anrnvxtita ?n the «nti- lyne^ing bill, but few bav>} knowledge or tiie inclination tc engage.

This argumeat overlooks en tirely the fact that 'TyS'ching ^ one of the most effective methods of terrorizing Negroes and keep ing them poor. It also does not explain ^he lynching of Ifegroej who are not poor or thelynching of Negroes who are , seeiking to protect their property or to se cure better wages. Another point made by Ssna' tor Btorah was that the South had doi^e very well in educating Negroes because it had more Ne gro children to educate than had the New England states. Thi^ argumcn is a justification of the cheating and thievery which has been going on" in the South in the matter of Negro education for^ decades and it does not ex plain by any means the failure^ of county end local officials to spend the money on Negro schools which is appropriated each'year by the souther^ le^v laturM. ;• The Borah speech is probably NEW YOiRp, Jan. 15.—A pro test against the possible nomina tion of Congressman Hatton W.

The color Is black and ]t& .emergence Is owing to the fa« that more and more, in the con struction o( new houses, large black panels instead of tbe usual light- yellow boards are being used as sheathing O This black sheathing Is a kind pi irmor-plate protecting tiie houSe against the loss of winter heat and warding off tbe baking heat of the lummer sun. The color Is due to a rapor-seallng coat of a special asphalt, applied over cane Insula tion cores, to form a tough, bracing hide "over the frame of the ^house. This black skin is-not only stronger but also has thrse times the In sulating YSlue oLwodd. With open joints only at the atUdSr-4t-oflara"a light, unbroken surface that wlU turn away wind and rain and keep house temperature even aud com fortable . - .

On such a house, costing fS.SOO to build, the complete Insniatloii would be only $53. or 1.4 parcenf^of the tQtal cost of the house.'Ot *cour8e, tha fuel savlnis continue for Ufa of the building.

And when that time comes it is usually also desirable to keep the cost of the work, and the dirt - and confusion that it entails, at a minilttum'. But ■who ruta in.=i;viat!in rn you ask? You do, if yuii let t. f quire a coating of .s-aot and It has been estimated that a thlr .. - second of an inch of soot will :e- duc% the efficiency of a furnace i.y 10 .percent^ and a sixteenth of r.i inch by 2$ pei'cent. So keep ti.3 Interior heat-absorbing and trar:- mi^tldg surfaces of your furnr.-* cieaii: If you haven't already t' so, clean them now so your heauug plant will be ready for operation in the fall. ^ ^ ' 4 And Ciirss Circufation Contest First Prize ■'f f ' "Waa board is the answer to the problem. Many house owners, how ever. may question the attractive ness ot the effects that can be achieved with wall board. They need not do so, tor it Is possible to get wall board fii auch a variety oT colors jtnd surface treatments_that effectp 'of, great beauty are easily obtainable without even the neces sity of painting. The board can, however, be painted or stained as the house owner pleases. piflerenV kinds of wall board m4ke H possible to simulate plank- jng, tiles, paneling and ashlar as well'as to obtain plain flat.walls. The combination* that may be worked out are almost endless, both by reason of these,, different forms andiof the Several, colors and sutface t«Ktures. When insulating wall board is used, or when wall board Is combined with some other form of insulation, an attic cafi be~ transformed into most charitaing r^ms that will be warot in Winter and cool in summer. .

For they carry the light, the heat, the power, the water, the tele phone and telegraph wires — In short, the elements essential to the life and activity of the modern city. One can go further than that. Pipes are essential to the modern home wherever it may be. No mat ter how isolated a house may be, it must have pipes if it is to havy the comforts and conveniences available 't6 us today. Water pipes mid sewer pipes, gas plpesr steam or hot water pipes—some or all of these ar^ needed in the modern home.
