Mr. Roosevelt says that for lynching a

Rgt this vertable Teddy is simply hos

aser and purity, and then murders her
that she may not tell of the awful crime
and hep Identify the villain if captured.
The horse thief is hanged if caught, and
that is right because a necessity. The
negro brute is hanged for rape and muir
der. and that is wrong, is brutal. This is
the RooSevelt's pious view of the two
courts. The American says:
Mr.. Roosevelt sympathizes with the
negroes. and he says in a letter written to
