the principal reasons assigned Is that II
is bad enough for "a Woman to have TO
suffer such punishment az the hands OF
brute without being compelled TO 90
into court and testify concerning her
agonizing ordeal. This sentiment. how
ever. Is not attributable TO the lawless-
ness Of the Southern whites, but to their
chivalry. Southern men have 50 much
respect FOR their women that. they are
ready TO XIII on the spot any sooundrel.
no matter what the color OF his skin.
who would show them an indignity. 1t
was this same chivalry that made every
Southern man in days OF old the cham
pion OF every southern woman. and
which made 81 as much as a mans life
was worth 10 speak disrespoCtfully OF
any woman In good standing. II hns-
man was present under such circum-
stances. he promptly rose TO her defense.
II no kinsmen were present, then some
friend as promptly called the traducor to
account. II no kinsmen or friend were
present. but some chance acquaintance
who knew that the woman had been in
suited behind her back. he stood ready
10 challenge 20 mortal combat the man
who had thus offended against her
There is much Of that sort Of chivalry
I'm the south to-day. and whenever
southern woman Is outraged every
Southern man in the vicinity becomes
her champion. puts himself in the place
of her relatives. brings the matter home
10 himself. and his blood boils with the
same righteous indignation as though
one of his own household had been the
victim.
That is the explanation Of the senti-
ment I'm the south in favor Of lynchins
for this crime But st is unfortunately
trre that although the great body OF
Southern white men are not IN favor OF
lvnchlng for other crimes, when they
ioin with a mob in putting man thus
summarlly 20 death, for criminal assault
they rally the lawless element and en-
COURAGE them to lynch men for
other crimes. and so IL has
come 10 pass that where one man
is lvnched for criminal assault,
two or more are lynched for murder or
arson or other crimes according TO the
within Of The mob. This being the case
the law-abiding citizens Of the South are
opening their eyes 10 the fact that they
cannot afford TO countenance lynchins
for any crime. that they must curb their
feelings ana let the law take its course
IN an cases. and under all circumstances
stand mp for the majesty Of the law OF
clso hiring the law into contempt and
spread generalization broadcast.

hard feelings in the rank and nle Oh
the natives against our men, but as

trouble between them. Accordingly
there seemed to be no danger in the

barked. and he took no precautions to
guard himself. He was idly sitting
