Paterson, N. j., Oct. 12.-The people of
this unfortunate city are beginning to
realize the extent of the great flood which
began last Friday. Nearly two entire
wards taking in the manufacturing sec
ton have been under water since that
day. This morning thousands of men, wo-
men and children employed in different
mills and factories found they could not
go to work on account of those places be-
ing shut down A great many of these
people have also been driven from their
homes and have neither food nor shelter.
The heaviest damage in Paterson was to
the manufacturers At present it is iii
possible to give an accurate idea of the
total loss, but conservative estimates are
about 100000.
Today the water continued to afll and
there did not seem to be any .chance of
further damage being done unless another
severe storm should set in.

SCHOOLS OF CRIME
A Negro Thus Describes the
South'S Convict Lease
System.
(By the Associated Press.)

Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. 12.-Dr. w. p.
Methodist Freedman's Aid and Southern
Educational Society, in delivering the
opening address of the Evangelical Ali
ance today, charged that the ouUrages on
negroes in the South was due to the
chain-gang prison system. He said in
part:
Far be it from me to utter one word
in extenuation of the unspeakable crime
OF which some black men are guilty Let
MS keep in mind, however that only about
twenty per cent. of the black men who
are lynched have over been charged with
the unspeakable crime aainst the sacred
ness of womanhoed Let the black man
bring every influence to bear to make
such crimes impossible. Let there be
prompt execution of the law against this
and all crimes of all men. Lynch law,
however, is anarchy. 1t brings in the
reign of barbarism. 1t brutalizes mem
bers of the mobs; it undermines govern
ment 1T does not stop crime. In esti-
mating criminality among the black PEG
pie, we should keep in mind that since
Appomattox, nearly every Southern State
has maintained schools OF crimc-an or
gained institution for the training o.
criminals. This, l charge against the con-
Wet lease system of the South. This sys-
tenn with its thousands of victims has
been the cause of much of the outbreak
in crime among black people, through its
brutalizing and dehumanizing influence on
thousands of negroes.
Under this system both prison and
prisoners are farmed out under the con-
troll of private corporations-sold to the
highest bidder.
TO the lessee the body and soul of con-
vets are assigned. The motive of both
State and lessee is not morals but money;
not reformation but exploitation of Grim
inals for gain. 1t is turning crime into
source of revenue; the Drawn and blood
OF criminals bartered for gain.
The outcome of the careful investiga-
ton of the convict lease system by the
present Governor of Georgia was rev.
lation Of inhumanity, barbarity and
shameless immortality. Much of it was
unfit for the public press.
In a period of two years over LOO
OF these convicts escaped from Southern
prisons. Think of LOO thieves, murder
ers, thugs, at large-lawlcss men roam
ing about in defiance of all law and order
think of a system that has no reforma-
tory element; no system to cure men of
crime, but educates young criminals III
crime and that, by its barbarity, brutal
ICES and dehumanizes men and sends out
those that 10 not die, under the horrors
Of the system to debauch and degrade
society. The South should reform its
present system and thus stop the educa-
ton of criminals The present system is
a sowing of the wind and it is bound to
reap the whirlwind.
Mr.. Thirkield made a strong plea for
the philanthropic and Christian people
both of the South and North, to join
hands in educational and missionary eff
forts for the solution of this, the gravest
problem of the races ever given any ma
ton to solve.
