THE ETHICS OF LYNCHING.

In the current issue of the Review Of
Reviews, Rev. DR. Edward Lee Pell. Of
Richmond, contributes a paper on The
Prevention Of Lynch Law Epidemics,"
which, it is understood. is the first Of
series Of articles on Southern problems
which Or. Pell has prepared for early
publication in several Of he leading mag
azinos and reviews.
The article under consideration bears
every evidence Of thought and research,
and Is a valuable contribution to the
literature Of lynching"
DR.. Pell sets out with the proposition
that lynch law may DO either sporadic
or epidemic. I'm its sporadic or Isolated
form" he says at is not confined to any
particular locality; as an epidemic 1t is
still peculiar to the South. In the former
type. the trouble is in the mob; in the
latter il is in the air as well as In the
mob. IN the former. the matter for con-
sideration is the spirit OF lawlessness
dominating the lynchers; in the latter
this spirit Of lawlessness must be consid-
cred along with the ever present provoca-
ton. Whatever may be the remedy for
isolated outbreaks. lynch law as an epi-
demic will never be suppressed by ignor-
ing the conditions which keep the atmos-
phere infected with the germs Of the
iynching fever"
These conditions. he tells us. are % the
prevalence Of crime among the blacks
and 90 the prevalence OF race prejudice
among the whites.
There was for long time. he de-
clares. "a disposition on the part Of the
North TO ignore the first condition. and
a disposition on the part Of the South to
ignore the second condition" But he
notes an Improvement OF late in the spirit
OF both parties TO the controversy. 1T
is not a unique thing now" he goes on,
"to meet a Southerner who fully realizes
how small a matter in the eyes OF the
masses is the life OF a negro. nor Is 1t
unique TO meet Northern visitors in the
South who have awakened to the fact
that the crime against female virtue has
a prominence in a lynching epidemics that
it does not have IN the public statistics"
With this introduction DR.. Pell pro-
ceeds 10 the inquiry as TO what can be
done to eradicate or diminish the lynch
ing evil. He says that although there
has been little practical change in the
general situation throughout the South,
there has been Improvement i'm two or
three States. notably In Virginia and
there arc indications that in several other
States public sentiment has begun TO crys-
talize against the evil lie says that few
thoughtful soutnerners now attach any
importance TO the suggestion that there
is need OF substantial changes in the law,
and he is Of the opinion that what the
average community needs Ia not better
laws, but better officers OF the law who
will not only be prompt IN looking after
the man who is accused Of crime that
may lead TO lynching, but will be just
as prompt in looking after the mob that

WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

VIC take the follow ing from the New
York Journal Of Monday last:
The Journal has believed from the first
that War could not be Ncrtcd, and' SO
believing. has told the truth regardless cf
consequences. other papers AMI many
public men have thought differently But
now that the trial Is actually upon as All
differences OF opinion must cease. 10 is
no longer a question whether war can be
avoided. but how it shall be Waga1 most
SHARPLY. quickly and successfully. The
time for discussion is past The lime for
action has come.
In the campaign Of 1905. the Journal
was easily the leader among the free ST.
yer newspapers Of the land, and had
Bryan been elected. the Journals inhu-
ence in this country would have been
enormous.
We must say for Mr.. Bryan that he
has behaved himself like a man during
the critical period through which the
country has been passing But had lie
been President, we cannot but believe
that the New York Journal and the rest
less element which it represents would
have driven the administration long be-
fore this into bloody war with Spain.
Whence has come this cry for war? Is
it from the conservative. business men
Of the land, or from the element that the
New York Journal represents? Who are
the jingoes? Are they not, as a rule, to
be found among those who supported the
free silver movement in 1896?

THE NEGRO AS A FARMER.

AZ Tuskegee, Ala. some time ago ne
gro conference was held in the Normal
school pavilion at that place and was at
tended by about 1000 negro farmers. rep
roscnting nearly every Southern State.
The conference adopted series Of de-
claratons among which we find the fol-
lowing:
"Since IS per cent. OF our people in the
Gulf States live by agriculture. we strong
~ urge that. along with other forms OF
education, special stress be laid upon
training in agriculture. We earnestly
urge all TO buy land, II only in small
tracts. while IL can 10 secured ut low
prices. Especially would we call attention
to the large amount Of government land
in the South open 20 settlement"
The negro is n born farmer and agrl-
culture Is his natural occupation. BY
some sort Of intuition he knows how 70
TN the soil. and # IS the occupation that
seems TO suit him best Of all others. 1t
Is the most inviting field OF Industry
10 tho black man. Here at
least he will not have TO contend
against race prejudice. and here he is on
an equality from a business standpoint
with the white man. Nature is no re-
rpecier OF persons, and all things else
being equal. the lands Of the black man
win produce as fruitfully as the lands
Of the white man. Whatever objections
may exist to the negro on account o, his
race. they al disappear In the cornfeld.
The white man is entirely willing that
he sit under his own vine and zig tree in
health and happiness and prosperity.
There IS no objection whatever TO the
negro as q farmer. and there can never
De such a thing as hostile rivalry be-
tween the white farmer and the black
farmer.
Nor IS there any rivalry between them
when they send their products to market.
Nobody stops to inquire whether bale
Of cotton or a barrel of corn was PRO-
duced by q white man or a black man.
All such products are sold on their merits
regardless Of their origin or other con-
siderations.
The black man is wise, therefore. II he
select agriculture as his occupation in
life He may always find a small farm
for rent. and by thrift and industry he
may from year to year lay by enough TO
eventually own the farm. once in pos
session, he is an Independent citizen, with
a home which no man may deprive him
Of and upon Withdrawing politlcs-no
intruder dare trespass.
The black man complains, and with
some reason, that the avenues of bust
ness are rot open to him as they are to
the white man. But nature has at least
made this reservation for him. and the
fact that 1908 negro farmers recently
gathered themselves together at meet
ing I'm Alabama is conclusive Of the fact
that the negro is rapidly learning 10 &C.
cept the goods which nature provides.
We believe that tho best advice ever
given q negro I'm a business way IS to be
found in the excerpt which We print from
the Tuskegee declarations.
