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 , far removed from the bulk of the population (te negro race. r THE REGION HOSTS GATHER .

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;". , Utile incidents sometimes carry u* back in the past and mives recoiled ions of days long forgotten, which were the •s now {happiest «>* our liven.
