SATURDAY, AUGUST l, 1908.

Many of the whites profess to be
much exercised at the Afro-Americans
for not condemning the victims OF
mobs for their alleged crimes. We do
condemn them, in unmeasured terms,
when we know, or. even believe them
to be guilty. But when their alleged
crimes, however horrible, barbarous
or satanic are completely overshadow-
ed by the criminal acts of the color
prejudiced mob, that hangs or burns
its victim first and then tries him aft

the mob. as fully established facts,

Lynchings were denounced in un-
equivocal terms by the recent Illinois
State Bar association just before it's
adjournment. In resolution which
was adopted without dissenting vote
the members placed the seal of con-
demnation upon the practice both in
Illinois and outside the borders of the
state Officers of the law were ap-
pealed to to put forth every effort to
bring about the punishment not only
of persons participating in such law
lessness, but such individuals as incite
mobs to action.
Just as Judge Tuley had announced
that motion to adjourn would be in
order Attorney Stephen S., Gregory
which reads as follows:
Resolved, That the members of the
Illinois State Bar association desire
to record their severe condemnation
of the crime of lynching now unhap-
PLY prevalent throughout the land, a
fragrant case of which has recently
occurred within the borders of this
state. We earnestly appeal to all the
officers of the law to spare no effort
to prevent similar atrocities in the
future and to exhaust all legal meas
ures to secure the condign punishment
of those guilty Of melting or par
ticipating in such lawless and democrat
izing offenses against good govern
ment and the social order.
1t is time that the whites should
wake up on the subject of lynching.
We have been telling them for long
time that Afro-Americans would not
be the only ones lynched when the
habit once got a firm hold on the
people.

At the session of the National Con-
vention of the United Brothers of
Friendship, at St. Louis, the follow
ing resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, That the United Broth
ers of Friendship in convention as

the brave, generous, and humane at
titude of President Roosevelt on all
questions affecting the rights of Afro
Americans under the Federal Consti-
tuition, and his declaration that the

color, or previous condition; and, be

law imposes shall be inflicted when
ever Afro Americans are guilty CT in
fraction of the law; but, at the same
time, we most assuredly wish the guilt
of the accused to be fully established
before a legally organized tribunal
and the mandates of the law imposed

lied officers of the law. Surely no
right thinking man wishes an inno-
cent person to pay the penalty for
some crime or misdemeanor of which
he is not guilty? The Bible, the foun-
dation stone of Christianity, says it is
better that many guilty should escape
punished. And there is very little
ing, the judges, the juries and all the
officers of the law are usually, white.
What we object to is the principle
involved in mob law, for in it there
is frequently as much danger for the
innocent as for the guilty. Especially
is this so where Afro-Americans are
concerned, for seldom does a mob
undertake to punish some alleged
criminal among them that it does not
extend it's operations to persons who
are in no wise connected with the
offense, except in the color: of their
skin. This has been the case time
and again and very notably within the
last few days when hundreds of inno-
cent Afro-Americans have been driv-
en- from their homes and have had
their property destroyed by these
mobs with whom the color of the
criminal is worse than the crime. 1t
used to be that alleged rape or at
tempted rape were the only crimes
which called for lynchings, but it is
no longer so and ten persons are now
lynched who are not accused of rape
where one is lynched on account OF
criminal assault. If one happens to
be black that is all he need to be
guilty of to be lynched. Let the fact
that any person is actually guilty OF
any crime be fully established and
we are ready and willing to condemn
him as strongly as any person, wheth
err he be black or white
