C* LYNCHING SHOWS DECREASE
For the first six months of this year the records
1 show quite u decrease in the numller of lynchings in
the Southern states. For tho samp'’period last year
> therj were 33 as against eleven for this year. 'This
[• record should he accepted as an indication of the
growing sentiment in the enforcement of the law and
i allowing the duly constituted court ' to function with
out ftitcrruption. That the people of this nation are
| becoming more and more impressed with the belief
that^the only way in which to suppress crime is
throfgh the courts and speedy trials is becoming
apparent every day and we believe that it will
fie many years before a lynching will be looked ■
'as a very unusual occurrence, not only in the
Jem states, but throughout the nation.
1 the eleven persons reported to have been
jied only one was lynched for criminal assault,
tms that in other sections of the country, especial
ly ill New York and Illinois, lynchings arc not con-
finop to the one crime which is usually dealt with
undfr the unwritten law, but in those states, for the
lead provocation, lynchings are held and especially
that true during labor trobules. In Illinois,
negroes were lynched simply because they were
irted there as strike breakers and no protection,
ever, was given to these helpless beings who
there from iio motion of their own, but pursuad-
go there by shrewd labor agents on condition
that} they were to receive large pay for their work,
misrepresentations should be made a violation
(c.law and men guilty of misleading and mis-
psenting to these ignorant negroes are responsible
jrder and they should so be dealt with.
south has never experienced as serious out-
nor has her people ever been guilty of more
f)us crimes than has those people living in these

UNCALLED FOR CRITICISM
L j|dth comment has been going the rounds of the
press over tho action of the white people in Tuskee-
geelAla., over tne action of the officials in Washing
ton «n placing negro officials in charge of a hospital
for jiegroes in that place. This action seems to have
aropsed the White citizenship and serious objections
'■ are being raised To the policy of the government. It
. is unusual for wflitc people to object to the negroes
handling and managing their own affairs, especial
ly of that character and we fail to understand on
k wheft grounds the white people of that place base
[ • the* objections. It is said that when .the , ’hospital
. waif first created, it was announced that it Would be
•in charge of white physicians and attendants, .but
‘ Tate} it Was ordered that the hospital be placed un.-
dcr^the control and management of .’negro doctor^
f •'andjattendants. This occurs to us as being entirely
proper and we arc quite sure if for any reason the
, government saw fit ti locate a hospital in this city.
Iforlhe negroes, a request would be made that those
Marge be selected from tho negro race.
j • 1 Jt«ems to us that the pYopcr thing to do is to place
f this»h«jspital under, negro personnel, what the gov-
> em Blent hjt i dene, and this action should close the
controversy;". ,
