Human Life and Inhuman By Bishop Lawlessness —Lynch IP arren A. Law Denounced Candler THERE are many evidences that there is prevalent in the United States an increasing disregard for the sanctity of human life and a growing spirit of lawless ness. This menace to civilization is not confined to any one section of the country. ' • * On the night of Janna:.-' "th a drunken mob of 2.909 men burned and looted the business section of East Youngstown. Ohio, destroying property valued at - $1,000,4’90. wounding scores of people, and kill ing outright three persons. In a considerable section of South • east Missouri "night riders" have been carrying on for some time a reign of terror, and. during the prog ress of -the trial of certain of these lawless miscreants at New Madrid re cently. threatening letters were re ceived by the circuit judge and the sheriff in which these officials were warned on the f»eril of their lives against the enforcement of law upon the arrested outlaws. It has not been so very long since there was an outbreak of murderous violence at Coatesville, Pennsylvania. * Recently published statistics show that the number of lynchings in * creased in the. United States during the year 1915. Lynchings occurred in the following states: Alabama. 9; Arkansas. 5; Florida. 5; Georgia. 18; Illinois. 1; Kentucky. 5; Lou isiana. 2; Mississippi. 9; Missouri, 2; Ohio. 1: Oklahoma.

In ail there were 69 lynch ings in the United States during the year 1915, of which GO were com mitted in the South, if Missouri and Oklahoma be not reckoned among the Southern states, and 65 if these two states be classified as Southern states, in 1914 there were 52 lynch ings in the whole country.- • Among the Southern states only West Virginia. Maryland and 'North Carolina come through the year 1915 with nands clean of such crimes. A fact which is most humiliating to all right-minded people in Georgia is that one-fourth of all the lynch ings committed in the United States during the past year were in our state. This is a disgraceful record, and the shame of it is that the new year promises nothing better. In the first month of the year 191 G there have been one-third as many lyych ngs in Georgia as were committed in the state during the entire year of 1915.' These undeniable and awful facts should move all good citizens to rise up in their strength and put (town such lawlessness. Every executive officer of the commonwealth, from the Governor to the obscurest con stable, should act vigorously and speedily for the suppression of this growing evil of mob rule. No reasonable plea can be offered for the justification of lynching. It is more truly the lynching of the law than it is the execution of its victims. It is in effect the subversion of or derly government, a reversion front virilization to barbarism. The law less sheddihg of blood arouses the brutal instincts in men, and thereby easily becomes a contagion of crime. The more bloodshed a man sees the 1 '.ess regard he has for human life. There was a time when lynchings in the South were defended on the ; ground that they were directed to ( the protection of helpless women against brutal assaults; but that plea can be offered no longer with justice. Os the 69 lynchings committed in 1915, only 11 of those put to death jy mobs were charged • with rape. There were 17 lynchings to avenge alleged murders; 12 for killing offi cers of the law and 7 for attacks upon civil officials. Three persons were lynched for poisoning mules; wo for stealing hogs; two for dis -egarding warnings of right riders; me for stealing cotton; one for steal ing a cow; and one for beating a wife and child; The victims of the 69 lynchings, vommitted during 1916, were not all jf one race. Os the 69, there were 14 whites, two of whom were killed for stealing hogs, and one of whom was lynched for beating his wife. It will be noted that these facts tnd figures show, not only that lynch ing is increasing in the land, but that it is beginning to be done for the most trivial provocations. Mobs form and in lawless heat take human life for alleged offenses that are no more than misdemeanors. Moreover, they not unfrequently kill Innocent ,»arties. It has been positively proved that at least four of the sixty-nine persons lynched in 1915 were inno cent of the offenses for which they suffered death; Who nor; will lynch these lynchers of the inno cent? What is the remedy for this rap idly spreading evil? Some say, let the courts act more speedily. The facts given do not indicate that this is the remedy. ! Most of these 69 lynchings occur red in communities in which the 'criminal courts were well organized and quite capable of executing the penal laws without fear or favour. Moreover, courts ought not to try with indecent haste prisoners brought before them for trial, nor sentence men to death to the passions of mobs. It is to be feared that a few courts have tried to beat mobs to prisoners charged with crime. If there must be lynch ings. God forbid that the courts themselves, with judges and juries and sheriffs should become lynchers. The administration of justice, es pecially in dealing with offenses in volving the penalty of death, should be done with the utmost delibera tion and care. The passionless ma jesty of the law is more effectual for the supression of crime than any manifestation of frenzied ven geance by mobs or mob-mastered courts can accomplish. Even the lynching of the human fiends who have committed the foul crime of rape has achieved nothing for the safeguarding of helpless women. No woman has been made more secure , by these outbursts of lawless venge ance; but the law, which is wom an's best defense, has been dis honored and broken down. Mobs are not composed of knights, whose gallant deeds are done for the de fense of female virtue; they are composed oftener of blood-thirsty men who love violence The remedy for the evil of lynch ing is not the inciting of courts to yield to the mob by adopting pro cesses of indecent haste, but the preaching of a crusade against mob law of every kind and moving the people to reverence law and main tain orderly government. Without popular devotion to law and order civilization is not possible; and when civilization has perished under the ruins of government, only the strong, who can, by money or other , means, protect themselves, will be; safe. Whose life is secure when the ; poorest and most friendless man ' in the land cannot shield himself against passion and prejudice with the strong defenses of the law’s? The people must be brought to see the enormity of these crimes of mobs and to abhor them. The sanctity of human life, even the life of the poorest and most friend less person, must be proclaimed with compelling power by both the pulpit and the press. U. S.

THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1916. . TOPICS OPPOSED TO MUTILATION OF STONE , MOUNTAIN. College Point, N. ¥., Jan. 22, 1916. j Mrs. W. H. Felton, Cartersville, Ga. Dear Madam: While visiting in Geor gia last fall I heard rumors (which i have since been confirmed by the news papers) of a project to deface the steep side of Stone Mountain with carvings of Civil war scenes; and I was glad to see from your letter in The Atlanta Semi-Weekly Journal of December 24 that you are not very enthusiastic about such a colossal and extravagant piece of vandalism. Stone mountain is one of the great natural wonders of the United States, and it .would be a pity to damage it any more than has already .been done by the quarrymen at its eastern base. Instead of allowing it to be mutilated further the state ought to buy it and preserve it as a natural monument for all time. At it has stood for countless centuries and will probably last sever al more in spite of the encroachments of -civilization, it- does not seem very appropriate to disfigure it permanently with 19th century scenes, that happen ed in other states. If the temptation to do something to it cannot be resisted indefinitely, the present or some future century may develop something still more worthy of | commemoration and more appropriate to the immediate locality, and Georgia may yet produce a sculptor equal to the gigantic; task. There is no danger of the Civil war being forgotten as long as printed books exist, arid it has been and can be com i memorated also by paintings and statu ! ary, at far less expense than carving ’ heroic figures on the side of a mountain. I There was some economic excuse for I the spoliation of Tallulah Falls and ■ Okefinokee swamp. two other great [ natural wonders of Georgia, and of Niagara Falls and the Palisades of New Jersey,, but there is apparently none in | this case. Few people will benefit by I it except the sculptor (who is not a Georgian at alii,- and even he may lose his life in the attempt (as a few people have already done at the same place.) If Stone mountain has got to be con verted into a billboard, paint should be used on it first, and then the scenes can be changed every few decades if desired. Any carvings that are made in the rock will be covered with lichens in a few years anyway, and thus oe hardly visible until one stands almost under them. I sincerely hope that the ! plan will be deferred a few years at i least, and no hasty steps taken which may be regretted later. A thousandth part of the estimated cost of the sculpturing would pay tor a comprehensive report on the state’s forests, or some other natural resource on which we have little authentic and accessible information at present, and thus benefit all the intelligent citizens of Georgia, and not merely one northern sculptor and his workmen. With best wishes for continued healtn and usefulness from one who has been reading your articles in the Semi-Week ly Journal since 1904, I am Respectfully, ROLAND M. HARPER. ‘ DON’T LOSE YOUR HEADS BOYS. The year 1916 is bound to be a live ly one. No doubt about it. Every thing is to be elected in Georgia (save two United States senators) from presi dent down to coroner.

We i are now pricing them lower than most | gasoline engines,' a 6-horse power kero sene engine selling for only $107.75.

THE WORLD’S SIX BEST NOVELS. The New York Times has invited well informed persons to furnish a list of the six finest books of fiction. Nearly all the contributors agreed in pronouncing “Vanity Fair” the h?ad of the list. A fine judge of novel literature gives the following: 1. "Vanity Fair,** Thacxeray. 2. ‘‘David Copperfield,” Dickens. 3. ‘‘The Cloister and the Hearth,” Charles Reade. 4. "Pride and Prejudice,” Jane Aus ten. 5. "The Abbotts” Walter Scott. 6. "Marriage,” Mrs. Ferrier. Perhaps that is a well accredited list. I own "Vanity Fair,” "David Copper field” and "Pride and Prejudice” and I can always enjoy re-reading them. If I might make a second list. I would begin with "Henry Esmond,” Thackeray, which is .perhaps more perfect in its finish than "Vanity Fair,’ with “The Virginians,” a close second by the same author. Then "The Tale of Two Cit ies” and "Bleak House,” both by Dick ens. Then "Jane Eyre,” by Currer Bell, followed by "Adam Bede,” George El liot. Somehow I do not enthuse over mod ern fiction, no more do I enjoy “Thad deus of Warsaw,” Scottish Chiefs” and novels of that early period, which were entrancing to me in my early teens. I remember my thrills over “The Knights of the Golden Horseshoe,” a story of early Virginia life, gave me when I was a little under twelve years. 1 must not omit "Vicar of Wakefield,” which lasts long and wears well. NEAL OF THE NAVY (Continued from Last Issue.) NEAL found his mother and An nette where he had left them. His mother was exhausted— the shock of Joe Welcher’s death, and the shock of the shipwreck had completely unnerved her. She had become hysterical. Annette spent her time alternately nursing Mrs. Hardin, and directing the erection or a temporary hut out of the driftwood that had floated in from the wreck. ‘‘Maybe it’s our home, for all we know,’’ Annette said to the busy crew, “so we’ll build it the best we j know. Neal,” she exclaimed, run ning toward mm as he came, "I'm hungry as a bear.” Neal pondered. He pointed to a group of palm trees a quarter of a mile away. “Uocoanuts,” said Neal, “come on.” But the crew hung back, even to the first mate. "The shore is good enough for me,” he said, “I’m a Sailor. I don’t mind the shore- But I’m dead afraid of snakes.” Neal kicked off his shoes and ran to the water’s edge. He wriggled into the soft white sand with his feet. He stopped wriggling, withdrew one foot and kicked out behind. A heavy object landed at Annette’s feet. “Clams,” Cried Neal, “come on, boys. You do the heavy work. Dig. I’m going to climb a tree.” With Annette by ’his side he sped across the narrow fringe of verdure, and with the agility of a born sailor, trained to the top notch, he sprang upon the trunk of the first palm tree that he reached, and in the twinkling , of an eye had clambered to its branches. “Cocoanuts it is,” he cried gayly, ' “watch out, Annette.” Annette watched out and to some i purpose- A shower of cocoanuts fell ! to the ground. When they reached the shore again, the crew had roasted a goodly quantity of clams. Annette served them to Mrs. Hardin. Neal’s mother drew herself together. “I onght to be ashamed of myself for giving in,” she cried in a firm voice, "goodness knows I’ve seen enough of hardship to get used to ft. Let me have a cocoanut. I feel like cracking something good and hard." Annette turned to Inez. Inez had been sitting in one attitude for hours. She had held herself aloof from her companions. She was in a dangerous mood —a mood dangerous to herself and everybody else- Annette brought her food. ‘‘lrene,’ she said, much as a mother might speak to an intractable child, “take this—you've got to eat ” •• Mv name is Inez Castro,” returned Inez, “not Irene Courtier. Call me by my name.” She laughed shrilly. "I fooled you all—all of you, even you and your en sign. It was good fun while it last ed,” . . . . Annette set down the food upon the ; ground." "We may' have to be a long time together, Inez," she returned, you’d better make the best of it. believe me.” Over at. the fire, Neal rose to his feet He stretched, his arms. “I never can think upon an empty stomach,” he remarked, "so I'm just beginning to dope things out.

I'm off.” "Where to?” queried his mother In alarm. "To the wreck,” said Neal. "What for?” Neal smiled. "You don’t want to stay here all your life?” -he queried. "They’ll find us,” said Annette. "Who?” asked Neal, "is going to find us, let me know.” Annette pondered for a moment. She smiled optimistically. "They,” she re peated vaguely. Neal laughed. The Lord helps them who help themselves,” he returned. I’m going to row over to the wreck and help myself—to some S. O. S.’ He strode to the water’s edge. He beckoned to the first mate. "It’ll take two of us to handle this boat,” he said. “Let's bail her out. You’d better come along.” "Surest thing you know,’ said the mate. They bailed out the boat and pushed her off. Then they looked about them. “Looks safe enough for these folks on shore,” said Neal. "There is no sign of anything. And they’ve got consider able protection.” Annette came running to him. “Let me go too, Neal,” she pleaded. Neal shook his head. "Can’t take any chances of a squall,” he said. “Any thing may happen in this climate. You are safe ashore. I’m satisfied of that. And as soon as I send the call I’ll come right back.” In another moment they were launch ed and pulling with even, steady strokes toward the wreck beyond. It was a long pull, but an easy one, and neither Neal nor the mate was windea when they reached the wreck.) They made last the boat, shipped the oars and clambered up the side of the almost submerged fruit steamer. “Good,” said Neal, "the wireless room is intact.” He sent out his call—cast it to the feur winds—his messenger, seeking ev erywhere for the Missouri. On the Missouri the wireless opera tor got it—feebly at first. "S. O. S.” clamored Neal. "Who are you?” queried the battle ship. Neal told him. "And—where?” Neal turned to the mate. "Lucky I brought you along,” he said, "tell me where we are.” The mate —a born navigator—told him. And Neal flashed it into space. "All right,” said the Missouri, "we’ll be there in three shakes of a lambs tail.” Or words to that effect. On shore, meantime, Annette, the wanderlust ever strong within her, had wandered up the beach and out of sight. The solitude was appalling, but not unpleasant. "Perhaps this is Lost Isle,” Annette said to herself, “and perhaps here 1 shall find my father. Perhaps—” She stopped short, and with good reason.

He held his hypnotic glance upon the chief of this man-eating tribe. He drove home the sact —by eye and powerful gesture—that the Brute was what they believed him to be—a great god of the sea. Without the presence of the Brute, Hernandez would have failed. He need ed all that the Brute had—trte strength, the huge white mop of hair and beard, the mumble of the mouth, the weak in sanity of eye—all these had played Into his hands. Because of these, he still lived. Single-handed, Hernandez by this time would have been food for vultures or for sharks—after he had furnished forth a meal for this crew of savages. With audacity that belonged only to him, he led the Brute to the chief’s own throne —a rude affair composed of a rough seat under overhanging bowers. "Go—sit," he exclaimed to the Brute. He enforced the command with a shower of blows. The Brute obeyed. He lum bered across the clearing and sat him down. . "Now,” said Hernandez, with his eyes and hands, to the chief of the tribe, “worship him again.’’ The chief obeyed. So did his follow ers. Hernandez, standing by the Brute’s side, regarded them with a grin of tri umph. Then he stepped quickly forward and lifted the chief to his feet. He looked him squarely in the eye. Then he laid one hand upon his stomach, and pointed with a finger to his mouth. "Hungry,” said the eye and hand of Hernandez, to the chief, "the god still hungry—and the master of god, very, very hungry, still.” The chief spread his hand. He pointed toward the jungle whence had sped the several captives unbound by the Brute. Hernandez smiled —a deadly, wicked smile. "Beast,” he exclaimed, "stay where you are.” He beckoned to the chief. "You come iwth me,” he sighed. The chief nodded, beckoned to a num ber of his bodyguard, and followed Hernandez through the jungle. At a knoll on its outskirts Hernandez held his fingers to his lips. Then he pushed the chief’s head through the bushes. The chief looked. He looked far out across the placid water of the Pacific, and there he saw a wreck. •’Um-m!” exclaimed the chief, smack ing his lips. "Ah," laughed Hernandez to himself, "you know what that means all right." (Continued In Next Issue.)
