Mob Violence Often Justified
4 Prominent Chicago Divine Gives
The Other Side Of Lynching.

The following is the summary of a
sermon preached i'm Chicaffo as pub
sished in the Helena Independent:
Il am no advocate of 1ynching or of
mob law, but had rather see a COM
nunity wrought to the highest pitch
over crimes that would seem impossi-
bic this side of hell than remain apa-
ahetic,' was the declaration of Rev.
DIR. Bartlett at the First Congregation
al church Sunday in a prelude on
''Lynching From Another Point of
View"
DR.. Bartlett said: 81 have seen so
many sermons, editorials and resolu-
lions denouncing lvnching and mob
law that one gets the impression that
the citizens who hang or burn the de-
ssroyers of life, home and all that is
held sacred by womanhood are the Of
lenders rather than the monster whom
they destroy.
1--WE seem to be so absorbed with the
majesty of this vague term law that
ahe notion appears to prevail that the
real criminals are those who do not
wait for legal processes, and the vio-
iator of womanhood is the abused
party.
''We shudder at the torture of the
criminal who is burned, but apparent
sy forget to sudder for the innocent girl
whose mental and spiritual agony is
tenfo1d greater than that of the fire.
This is not d race problem, except so
far as one race are the offenders.
''The white man who commits the
same crime is just as guilty. The in
dignant uprising Of a community and
some of the best men in it, to avenge
wrong Of such awful magnitude may
be technically 1awless, but the spirit
which causes the uprising is the re-
hection of a higher civilization.
''There are crimes so dreadful that
the pure and the chivalrous and the
strong find it we'll nigh impossible to
endure the thought that such a degen-
erate should pollute the earth by his
presence.
''It is easy to theorize about the an
archy of mob law, but the same hand
which penned the calm editorial might
De the first to grasp the torch if it was
a mother, a wife or daughter who was
the victim.
Il say that when you look at a
lynching from another viewpoint, it is
simply the bursting forth of an indig-
nation and loathing that will not be
checked. In the old testament days
they made short work OF such an Of
fender.
''Lynching is certainly bad method
and forms habit of disorder and
makes men bloodthirsty. But if it is
TO be avoided, there certainly is cause
for more sure and speedy trial of
these wretches who often brazenly
deny crime amid red tape of legal pro-
cesses, but confesses abjectly when
confronted with determined men.
''It is useless to bring to trial good
men who rise up to protect their fire.
side. The community will not bear it.
If the men object to being burned, let
them cease from crimes which make a
nation sick.''

ceived some support from a prominent local ap-
orator, who bought freely of both December and
