ROOSEVELT DENOUNCES LYNCH
LAW AS DANGEROUS ANARCHY

bringing the criminal to justice, is
itself objectionable.
Men who have been guilty of a
crime like rape or murder should be
visited with swift and certain punish
ment. and the just effort made by the
courts to protect them in their rights
should under no circumstances be per-
verted into permitting any mere tech
nicality to avert or delay their punish
ment
But the fullest recognition Of the
horror of the crime and the most COM
plete lack of sympathy with the GRIM
inal cannot in the least diminish the
horror at the way in which It has been
customary to avenge these crimes and
ut the consequences that are already
proceeding therefrom.
in recent cases of lynching over
three-fourths were not for rape at all,
but for murder, attempted murder and
even less heinous offenses.
Moreover, the history of these re-
cent cases shows the awful fact that
when the minds of men are habituated
to the use of torture by lawless bodies
to avenge crimes Of a peculiarly revolt
ing description, other lawless bodies
will use torture In order to punish
crimes Of an ordinary type.
Surely no patriot can fail to see the
fearful EQUALIZATION and debasement
which the indulgence of such spirit
and such practices inevitably portend
Surely all public men, all writer's for
the daily press, all clergymen, all
teachers, all who in any way have
right to address the public. should
with every energy unite to denounce
such crimes and to support those en-
gagged in putting them down.
THE cornerstone of this Republic, as
of all free governments, is respect for
and obedience to the law. Where we
permit the law to be defied or evaded,
whether by rich man or poor man.

Just so much weakening the bonds OF
our civilization and increasing the
chances Of its overthrow. and of the
substitution therefor of system in
which there shall be violent alterna-
lions Of anarchy and tyranny.

Oyster Bay. N. Y. Aug. lin a let
ter. the publication of which was au-
thorized to-day. President Roosevelt
commends Governor Durbin Of Indiana
for the attitude he assumed recently re-
spectng lynching. The Presidents let
ter 10, In part, as follows:
Oyster Bay, N. Y. Aug. 6, 1903
MY Dear Governor Durbin; Permit
me to thank you as an American citi-
zen for the way in which you have
vindicated the majesty of the law by
your recent action in reference to
lynching.
Men must feel the gravest alarm
over the growth of lynching in this
country, and especially over the Pc
culiarly hideous forms so often taken
by mob violence. wien colored men are
the victims, on which occasions the
mob seems to lay most weight, not on
the crime, but on the color of the Grim
inal. In a portion of these cases the
man lynched has been guilty of a
crime horrible beyond description; a
crime so horrible that as far as he
himself is concerned he has forfeited
the right to any kind of sympathy
whatsoever.
THE feeling of all good citizens that
such hideous crime shall not be hide
ously punished is due not in the least
to sympathy for the criminal, but to a
very lively sense Of the train Of dread
full consequences which follows the
course taken by the mob in exacting
inhuman vengeance for an inhuman
wrong. In such cases, moreover 1t is
well to remember that the criminal not
merely sins against humanity in I'M
pardonable fashion, but sins particu
larry against his own race and does
them wrong far greater than any
white man can possibly do them.
Therefore in such cases the colored
people throughout the land should in
every possible way show their belief
that they, more than all others in the
community, are Mortified at the COM
mission of such crime and are pecul-
iarly concerned in taking every posi-
BILE measure to prevent its recurrence
and to bring the criminal to immediate
Justice. The slightest lack Of vigor, ell
