Prof. Miller Says Crime is Not COM

AAAVA AuhVh8 SOlOreO feOples
Lynch Law" was the subject of leo
ture delivered last evening at Lincoln Me-
mortal Congregational Church, 18th and r
streets northwest, by Prof. Kelly Miller of
Howard University. He spoke of the evil
effects of such practice upon all classes of
the community, and protested against the
impression that crime Is common among
the colored people. He said that out of
All the cases of lynching It Il not alleged
in more than one in four that rape ia the
cause.
The remedy" he said, does not lie in
legislation. The trouble is too deep-seated
for that. We must reach the moral nature.
The United States already has a higher
record for homicide than any country in the
world, savage or civilized. We must try
10 reach the natures of the lower element.
The colored people should try to help those
who are among the more depraved Of their
race. There is a widening chasm between
the educated negro and his ignorant broth
er. Unless the economic and moral status
OF the lower class is improved there is no
hope. In the matter Of education and reli-
gious influence. the whites have always
tried to meet US more than half way. The
negroes should try to make friends with the
better class Of whites. Kindness will do
much for the colored man. Slavery kept
him out of mischief because 1t kept him
busy.
The real enemy of the negro is the I'M
educated white man. Those half-fed, rag
ged, cadaverous whites of the south, who
have nothing to do but to assemble at the
station to look at the train. are a menace
to the safety Of the community. Then the
newspapers are careless in their statements
of the crimes committed by negroes. Peo-
pie read by headlines, and when they see
the term black brute they guess at the
rest. The press must help in this work Of
the regeneration Of the negro. 1t requires
more than an emancipation proclamation
and quasi-freedom to work out the evolu-
ton OF race from the ignorant savagery
to civilization"
The subject was opened to general dis
cussion, and remarks were made by Prof.
w. H. H. Hart and others.
