The Way to Prevent Lynching.

Lynchings result from the public mind
being aroused by some atrocious crime
which the law or those in authority dc
not Immediately avenge. The Philadel-
phia Inquirer on Tuesday gave an in
stance where two women were killed in
Philadelphia on April LIST, 1902, and the
criminal was indicted on the Bird, tried
and sentenced on the 4th.
There was no delay of the Courts,
.altho the hanging could not take place
legally until May 9th. The public mind
was appeased by the fact that the Grim.
inal met the most speedy justice.
SPEEDY JUSTICE.
The Inquirer says: THAT is the way
to deal with crimes of this class. Had
the judges in Delaware eyinced a like
disposition to visit the vengeance OF the
law upon the miserable fiend who struck
down q young girl there would have been
no uprising of the people. The lesson is
plain. There must be no delay in bring
ing to justice brutes of the calibre oil
White, the Delaware fiend, and this ap-
plies to every State in the Union"
MORE Law
The Philadelphia Press advocates a
police for the country roads. In speak
ing of George White the Press says
s'This particular human wolf had served
q term for this offence. No man ought
to leave q State prison after a conviction
for this offence or its attempt until the
prison surgeon had made it impossible to
repeat the offence or attempt. The way
to prevent lawlessness in the mob is to
prevent lawlessness in the criminal. Be-
gin there and the mob will never be
heard from. A human wolf like this
man, twice convicted for lawless violence
and once for a similar crime, wa turned
loose, unmarked and uncorrected, to re-
turn to his crime. Peril to its women no
community will long endure without out
break; but the remedy for this lawless
peril is not more lawlessness, but more
law"
QUICK DEATH
William D. Crum, colored, whose
anne was sent in for Collector for the
Port of Charleston, believes quick death
is the proper remedy for men, black or
white, who assault women.
"Lynching is not a race problem" said
DR.. Crum. "There is no North or South,
but the form of unlawful punishment is
general all vel the country. Such pun
ishments SAVIOR of barbarism; but the
crimes that provoke them are 80 atroci-
GUS that no punishment is too severe. If
the law was quick and decisive there
would be fewer lynchings. There should
be no delay. When a man is guilty he
has no rights. The remedy is to exter-
inmate the horrible wretches who COM
init the crimes, promptly and legally, if
possible. If this is not done lynchings
will continue"

WHY WE uulKBRAxE ON THE
FOURTH.

Why WE uuu1KBRATE ON THE
FOURTH.
How Came Our Independence To BE
Declared on That Bate.
We celebrate July 9TH, because the
Declara&ion Of Independence was signed
on that date. But how did il happen to
b SIGNED on that exact date and what
thought Il about is little known.
Thomas Jefferson is called the father
Of the Fourth Of July because he wrote
the Declaration Of Independence. How
he came TO write It may also be of inter-
ct.
On May Is. 1776 the Convention of
Virginia instructed their delegates in
Congress, to propose to that body to de-
clare the Colonies independeny of Great
Britain. On June 7th, the delegates from
Virginia moved in obedience to instruc-
tions, that Congress should declare, that
these United Colonies are, and of right
ought to be free and independent States.
On the next day the proposition was dis
cussed and also on Monday the 10th. A
committee was appointed consisting Of
John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger
Sherman, Robert Livingston and Thomas
Jefferson. Jefferson says that the com
mittee desired him to write the Declare
ton Of Independence, which was APP
proved by them with q few verbal
amendments by DR.. Franklin and Mr..
Adams. It was reported to Congress on
June 18th, when it was read and ordered
to lie on the table.
On July LIST Congress resolved them
selves into q committee of the whole and
resumed consideration. The debate on
it took up the greater parts of July I'd,
Sd and th days Of July and signed by
every member present or the evening OF
the 4th.
By reference to Watson's biography OF
Thomas Jefferson it will be found that
the Declaration Of Independence was fin
ally adopted July A, because the members
of the Continental Congress were SO
greatly bothered by the flies, which
swarmed into the hall from a livery sta
BILE near by, that further debate became
almost impossible.
So it is because of the flies hat we
celebrate our independence on July 4th,
instead of another date.
