Those persons at the North who
are forever harping on Southern
disorders and lawlessness might
find even graver social problems
in their own section and in the
West, if they would turn their eyes
in those directions, says the Bal
timore Sun. As for mere disorder
and violence, there have been
more manifestations of this sort in
New York, Brooklyn and Cleve-
land within the last IL days than
have occurred in the South within
the last 20 years. The outbreaks
IN the South, deplorable as they
may be, are sporadic, and are gen.
orally uprisings against criminals
Of the worst kind. They do not
affect or represent the whole pop
ulation or any large proportion of
any large proportion of any class
Of the population. Neither do
these outbreaks suggest economic
dangers that threaten the very
foundations of society as at pres
ent organized. The South can
and viii control mob law, but there
are under and behind the violence
Of strikes in the North and West
industrial conditions that may be-
come uncomfortable if they are al
lowed to continue. Freedom, JUS
lice and right are catchwords ap-
Piled glibly in connection with
lynching of heinous offenders in
the South. but they have no appli-
cation TO the hard struggle for ex-
istenoe which every now and then
shows itselfin the crowded centres
Of the North and West in the forms
Of desperate strikes and uprisings
against cowardly monopolies and
oppressive corporations. The
problem in these sections is, as we
have said, far graver and deeper
than that with which the South is
tainted. Physician, heal myself,
= Z suggestion that the Northern
refofmer might with wisdom apply
- the situation in his own and al
bed sections. Let him take the
beam out Of his own eye before
attempting to take the mote out
of the eye Of the South.
