THE CONVICTION OF CLEMENTS

WE did not at first credit the report
and yet it is true that WILLIAN GLEN
ENTs, colored. was tried in Campbell
County, Va, convicted and sentenced
to five years in the Virginia Penitenti-
airy. Our readers have already been
made thoroughly acquainted with the
facts.
CLEMENTS and white man, named
RossER became engaged in an alterca-

wOrsted.
He swore out a warrant against
CLEMENTS and he was placed in the
county jail.
RossRR subsequently led lynching
party Of fourteen men. Instead of be-

TIE MURDBR OF AN EDITOR.

The murder OF Editor PATTERSON in
or near the pulpit of the Dexter Bap-
fist Church of Montgomery, Ala, was
a most unfortunate occurrence.
When he took issue with the state
ment that lynchings even for assaults
upon women are not justihable, he
was right.
A Judge has tersely expressed 1t
when he said if lynching is right, let us
abolish the law, and il the law Is
right, let us abolish the lynching.
We trust his murderer may be pun
ished by law. 1t is 8 practice in many
southern communities TO have SONS

of removing a prominent race-leader
White men have learned this as a mt
art and many our people are sent e

We believe the murder was premeo
itated. With the lower classes o
