MODS PROTECT
THE INNOCENT
Sermon on "Lynching From An
other Point of View. 4"
BEST MEN OFTEN INVOLVED
DEGENERATES SHOULD NOT
PoLLUTE THE EARTH.

/ n HICAGO, June 2s.-'I am no ad-
vocate Of lynching or of mob law
but I had rather see a community
wrought TO the highest pitch over
crimes that would seem impossible this
side of hell than to remain apathetic.' %
was the declaration Of Rev. DR.. Bart
lett at the First Congregational church
today in a prelude on -Lynching From
Another Point of View &"
DR.. Bartlett said; Il have seen so
many sermons, editorials and resOlu-
tons denouncing lynching and mob law
that one gets the impression that the
citizens who hang Or burn the destroy
ers of life. home and all that is held sa-
cred by womanhoOd are the offenders,
rather than the monster whom they
destroy.
I'VE seem to be so absorbed with the
majesty of this vague term Law that
the notion appears TO prevail that the
real criminals are those who do not
wait for legal process, and the viOlatOr
Of wOmanhOOi is the abused party.
Not a Race Problem.
I'VE shudder at the torture Of the
criminal who is burned but apparently
forget to shudder for the innocent girl
whose mental and spiritual agony is
ten-fOld greater than that of the fire

crime is just as guilty.

to avenge a wrong of such awful mag
nitude may be technically lawIess. but
the spirit which caused the uprising is
( the reflection Of a higher civilization.
There are crimes so dreadful that the
pure and the chivalrous & ID the strong
find it well nigh impossible to endure
the thought that such a degenerate
should pollute the earth by his pres
ence.
Easy to Theorize.
1T is easy to thecrize about the

it was a mother. wife or daughter who
was the victim
4 say that when YOU look at q lynch
ing from another viewpoint il is simply
the bursting forth of an indignation
and lOathing that will not be checked.
In the Old Testament days they made
short work of such an offender.
'Lynching is certainly a bad method
and forms a habit of disorder and
makes men bloodthirsty. But if il is
to be avoided there certainly is call
for a more sure and speedy trial OF
these wretches who often braZeniy
deny crime amid red tape of legal proc
eSses. but confess abiectly when con
fTOnted with determined men. It is
useless to bring to trial good men who
rise up to protect their firesides. The
community viii not bear it. If the
men object to being burned, let them
cease from crimes which make a ma
ton sick"

MR.. G. G. LATTA.

The news of the death of Mr.. c. G
Latta last night was heard with deep re-
gret. The sudden stroke of paralysis at
noon yesterday alarmed his friends and
death was feared. 1t came at IL :05 last
night. A year ago he was severely in
tured by an electric street car in New
York and paralyzed. He recovered and
the outlook was for long life, but a
second stroke ended his splendid career
last night
Mr.. Latta was of the best type of the
Southern business man. He came to Raj
eigh years ago as young business man,
and his life here has been one of indus
try and integrity. standing as a beacon
light to his fellow men, He has stood
for the best interests of the city. He
has hosts OF friends and his death will
carry with it deep regret not alone to
those of his family. His death is a dis
tinct loss to Raleigh.

tions the editor does not write as well
as he would upon a subject near at

such subjects does no good in the practi-
cal affairs of the world whereas if he
would throw his whole weight to promote
industrial enterprises, moral and educa-

would make his editorial column tell
powerfully for the betterment of the Sec
ton in which his lot is cast.

REGULATING THE SALOONS.
The Board Of Pensions. County Commissioners
in Session
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
Durham, N. c., July 6-The board Of
pensioners for this county met in regular
session this morning and passed on the
new applications OF those who desire pen
sions from the State government. There
were twenty eight applicants, a number
of whom were widows asking pensions
under the new law The board passed
favorably upon fourteen and unfavorably
on the others. The board in this county
is composed of Clerk of Court C. B. Green,
Messrs. J. r. Blacknall, w. T. Watts and
H. HI. vickes. the last three being old
veterans who are not pensioners.
The County Board of Education is in
session. Prof. C. w. Massey who has
been superintendent for several years,
was reelected without opposition. He
has made the schools of Durham county
among the best in the State. He has been
elected for two years. Mr. John w I'm
stead was reelected chairman OF the
board.
Tonight the city aldermen are in ses.
sion. One matter before it is the regu-
lating of the saloons of the city. At
special meeting of the board a week ago
the number of saloons in the city was
reduced from twenty to nine and now the
city fathers are to curtail the powers of
these left, at least that is the report.
The County Commission are in session
this week The most important matter
TO be passed upon will be the county road
work. A petition signed by two hundred
and fifty people was presented this morn
ing asking that the Roxboro road be com
pleted to the Person county line. This
road is now completed out seven miles.
and the distance from there to Person
county is ten miles. Others want the
work ON the Fayetteville road taken up
and this completed to the Chatham coup-
ty line.

AHrr-sALooH CONVENTION.

i The Anti-Saloon State Convention will
be held in Raleigh today. 1t will attract
to Raleigh earnest and sincere men who
have enlisted to lessen the evils of whis-
key. Nine-tenths of the crimes commit
ted by mankind are caused by liquor and
many of the most crimes ar plotted in
bar-rooms. The recent crime in Wilson.
one of the most outrageous and high
handed cdnspiracies in the history of
North Carolina. was. by the evidence of
fered in the trial, Matched out in wills
key shops and by men under the infiu-
ence Of liquor. 1t is almost always true
that whiskey and crime bear close rela-
tionship, and that drinking is the fruitful
mother of crime.
The convention that meets today will
discuss practical questions looking to the
suppression of the saloon evil AS to
the State, the problem is how to enforce
the Watts law and other temperance leg
islation on the statute books Laws do not

often wink at violations of anti-liquor laws
unless a strong public sentiment calls for
enforcement. Even when public officials
really desire to enforce prohibitory laws.
they find it very dificult-if not impossi-
ble--to do so unless there is some or
gained force behind the law to help Sc
cure evidence and stand up for enforce
ment. There is no more important. deli
cate and difficult work for the temper
ance forces than to discuss plans of en-
forcement and to organize against the
breaking down of anti-saloon legislation.
Having driven whiskey out of the coun-
try districts, the pressing duty is to drive
it out of the towns by prohibition or
such other regulation as may be best for
each community. That is very disappoint
ing news that comes from Rocky Mount,
where the board of aldermen have licensed
a whiskey STILL better described in the
term hell kettle" to begin the making
Of drunkards on large scale. This act
will probably arouse the people of Rocky
Mount to drive out the whole business
he still, heli-kettle. saloon. and all the
kindred agencies that work for the ruin
Of the youth and for the increase of crime
If other towns follow the example of
Rocky Mount, it will call forth the most
strenuous efforts of all temperance advo-
,ates to stem the tide. for as rule one
whiskey still is worse than a dozen sa-
looms, demoralizing as they are.
The convention will call upon the peo-
pie of every community to shut up the |
'aloons by a vote under the Watts law. In |
most towns the people can carry the cleo
ion if they are well organized and ag
,ressive and wise. Where they fail. they |
will educate public sentiment until all |
he towns and cities viii either shut up |
he saloon entirely or place such regula
ions as to screens, early closing and the
ike around the demoralzing business as
o lessen its evil influence.

One OF the wisest portions of the ex-
cellent address of President w. F. Mar
shall, editor of the Gastonia Gazette, deliv-
cred at the Press Convention last week,
was in advising the editors to write more
upon local topics. In enforcing this good
advice he said:
sit is the editorial page which gives
character, not only to the newspaper
as a whole but to every department of
1t. ] shall not, however, discuss the re-
lation of the editorial page to otner de-
partments. 1t is enough TO suggest that
the editorial page sustains very import
ant relations to the community-whlch
supports the paper. Let us of the week.
ly press especially devote more editorial
space to matters next to us, things We
know something about, local affairs, if
you please. Why should we consume
gray matter and white paper advising
Governor Ayeock or Colonel Roosevelt
how to run the government. They are
not subscribers to our papers. Why
should we indite supposedly bright para
graphs on faraway topics for the con-
jectured edfication of our fellow editors?
There is not a cash subscriber to our
papers in the whole lot Let us in our
editorial writing get down to things at
home, and / verify believe we shall write
better stuff, improve on the appearance
of our papers, and add to the character,
popularity and influence of our papers
at home without in the least diminishing
their welcome abroad"
OF course a paper must be interested
in what concerns mankind the world over.
It must print the news of outside events
with appropriate comment as circum-
stances require. But Mr.. Marshall gave
good advice when he advised the editors
to devote more editorial space to mat
ter next to us. things we know some
thing about. local affairs" This writer
reads or goes through every North Caro-
lima weekly every week and is a careful
reader of them. There is no other way
to keep up with the sentiment, the pro-
ings of North Carolina people. Some week
lies illumne their local stories by apt com
ment. they secure new industries by
wise agitation, they advance every good
interest and enterprise by the proper word
in season. What a treat it is to read
such a paper, "racy of the soil and mir
rowing the life. of its community! And
what a contrast to turn to another local
paper that seems to take as topics only
the most far-away events. II its community
is interested in education, goods roads. pro-
grees of any given sort then this local
paper writes exclusively about Russias
intentions with reference to .4anchuria.
Englands relations with Turkey. the la
Dor problem in Italy. the South African
problem. and other like topics that have
no effect in helping the community solve
its problem. Often, too, because he has
