FRIDAY, JULY 81, 1903.

The recent negro lynching in the
north have again provoked the period
ical discussion of the wits of lynch
law, and the crimes which induce its
enforcement. The pulpit has usually
taken the initiative in these matters
and in the last instance. has taken ex-
tremist grounds. On the one hand
we have a negro minister advising his
,culored members to sell their coats to
buy shot guns for the determination
of the white race. On the other hand
W have a white minister advocating
the legalizing of the mob and lynch
law as a punishment for the merge
rape feDd. Both these views are in
tolerant. Then VIZ nave a host Of
editors who call our attention to the
fact that while these crimes are being
committed by members Of the negro
race, others are graduating with dis,
tinguished honors from our highest
universities and colleges, and frankly
tell US they do not understand the
reason for this disparity. Of course
they do not. They do not under
stand the negro character; neither do
the ministers to whom we have refer
red. If they did, these disparities
would be easily explained. 1t is
not IL purpose to discuss the ques-
tion Of social equality. We are only
c~onsideriE. the lynching evil. In
the first place the negro is an indivi-
dual of peculiar characteristics. He
lacks the developed power Of judg
ment. Some scientists even claim that
the part of the brain whose cells
are the seat Of this faculty, only ex
lists in a rudimentary form in the ne.
gro race. W. do not 90 for that.
But the man who knows the negro
character is aware that he is a crea
ture of emotion. This is his control.
ling mental power. He will laugh
immoderately at things that would
%hadly cause a white man to smile.
He will go to church a regular sin
ner, get religion, as he thinks, and
shout loud enough to be heard a Block
away, and on his way home will rob
a hen roost or commit adultry. He
hardly thinks these things wrong be-
cause he is governed by his emotions
instead of his reason and conscience.
He will attend a picnic in the gayest
holiday attire and have more fun than
a small boy at a circus, or an engaged
young woman at a sewing circle, when
he knows he has not a crumb to eat

white woman in the south when he
knows he is just as certain to suffer
the most horrible death at the hands :
of a mob, as the u is to shine on d
clear day. The characteristics OF the
negro are strong. He takes no middle
ground. If a young negro should be
in such environments as would tend
to give him an inspiration to that
which is high and noble, he will DO
controlled by his emotion and be car
ried just as far in that direction as
possible. He will be a scholar, a
thinker, a leader, as far as his racial
ity will permit. But if his environ
ment be such as tends to send him
downward, he will take it, and his
emotion will carry him to the very
lowest depts Of degradation. Hence,
we have the nergo graduating in the
university and the one roasting at the
state. There is also a mistaken idea
about the original cause Of lynchings.
Those who do not know, say it is be-
cause of the laws delay. Not
so. Our criminal laws that we revere
as the bulwork Of our personal
liberty, provide that II accused Of
crime shall have a trial open to the
public, and be confronted by the wit
nesses against him. The laymen of
our readers may not know, but the
crimina al lawyer will, that the laws
on the crime of rape, and the rules of
evidence in the same, are such that if
printed in these columns, would ex.
clude them from the mails as obscene
matter. Now the victim Of a negro
outrage, if the courts try the matter,
must become the prosecuting witness
she must tell to strange men, and
the usual crowd Of court room buns
and l~oafers, to whom such a trial is
the acme of their lives, all the dis
gushing details of the crime ani
then be subjected to the narrowing
cross examination Of an unprinciple(
lawyer, who will take advantage O.
her modesty to clear the demon
She must tell to all this gaping

worse than burning alive. But when
our criminal laws are so changed
that the victim Of an outrage will not
have to undergo an ordeal in open
court that would make a woman Of
the half world blush with shame in

will become a thing Of the past.

Apropos of the recent announcement
that Edgar Allen Poe was to have a
monument erected to his memory as
wierd as the livid fires of his own
poetic soul, we are led to imagine
what has become Of the great poets
who in ages past have carried the souls
of mon upward until they mingled
with the rythms of Celestial harpers.
Where is the E%lizabethan age? 1t is
true that we have a surplus Of so
called poets. Every frog pond has
become a Piern spring. Poetry
everywhere. llliterate snobs and
snoberies who would be more at home
over a washtub, or following the
humble mule across the bean patch,
rush into poetry whenever a yelling
youngster creeps into the world, or
some old rooster makes his exit from
the same stage, and because they are
able to place the same number Of
words in certain lines, call it poetry.
The fools. 1t has never been within
the mind of the wisest to tell what
poetry is. But that it is the harmony
of the soul-the expression of that
great principle that lives within,
which we can comprehend, but can
not explains attested by everyone
who has Toasted in the realms Of
Byron and Moore, Burns and Tenny-
son, Longfellow and Poo. Why this
divine muse should be prostituted by
every pessimist suffering from a tor.
pid liver, we do not know. No
magazine is complete unless there is
a poem by some unknown fake about
nothing in particular. and contains
about as much genuine poetry as the
melody of a bullfrog. Nor is this
abomination confined alone to those
charlatans whose souls have never
been touched by Promethean fire.
Men who are accounted great in let
ters, and are flooding the world with
poetry, are mere glow worms in the
light Homeric era. The poet laureate
of England is lost in the cloak Worn
by the great Tennyson. Yet perforce,
he is a present day poet. Why have
we forgotten the masterpiece of the
poet-the productions Of lives Of labor
and thought. Simply because the
inspired bards Of the past are for.
gotten-not because they are less
melodious to the cultured taste, but
because we have been so surfeited by
the sickly effusfons Of late years that
we have become nauseated with the
very name. If a monument to Il Of
he weird dreamers Of the past shall
serve to revive study of the sublime
singers, and incidentally kill a few OF
the modern poetical monstrosities, the
memory of Poe will have been sacred.

There was mysterious, per

What is the P E o? The pro-

not even a name. 1t is a conun-
drum. a riddle, a sphinx that

DEAR SIR; 9 'nSressman
B len. of Syracuse, painted
his Thousand Islands cottage in
'92 with Devoe; and painted it
ag lin in '99, with the same. of
course. Takes 80 gallons.
What! does It only last seven
years?"
Depends on what you paint
for. No one can tell how long
job of paint is going to last in
in any particular case. The
paint may last ten years and
the color five.
A summer cottage is painted
for color, of course; it is also
painted to keep out the water,
to keep it from rotting.
Seven years is a good long
time for paint to look fresh
depends on the coInrs though;
some colors last longer than
others. Three is too long for
some colors. Nothing pays bet
ter in building a house than a
good JOB of paint; and pothing
pays better, in keeping it up,
than repainting as soon as the
paint shows signs of impair
ment. But this is to keep it
sound. F IT looks you may paint
it whenever the freshness is off.
It's matter of color; not of
paint.
Yours truly,
T. W. DEyOE & Co.
