The Motifs Problem.
The Philadelphia Record Of Monday
contains this item nf news:
IA crowd OF excited plcas,,reseekers al
washington Park on Saturday night
clamored around the main office. While
| policemen protected Clarence D. Budd, q
negro, who had been arrested upon tho
charge OF attempting to assault Miss
Minnie II. Morton, OF Clementon, N. u.
Miss Morton was on the boardwalk
when the negro came beside her and
spoke to her. She turned to see him leer-
Ing at her, and she resented the affront.
The man was not to be repnlscd, how
ever,3 and he laid a.slland upon her Miss
Morton shrieked md almost tainted a
crowd quickly gathered. and when the
young woman explained what had hap
pened there wns a deal Of excitement.
The negro had escaped into the darkness.
but the young woman was able to give
such good description Of him that he
was arrested by Captain Allen. Of tho
park police. III 81 ~ ~
When It was discovered that tho negro
had been arrested and taken to then
Office. an angry crowd gathered In front
and uttered threats of vengeance, but
tho officers managed to spirit tho fellow
out and to Woodbury. before any vio-
lence was done. AT Woodbury. he was
given hearing by Mayor Ladd, who
committed him in default Of bail"
Now that New Jersey has a negro
problem, we advise the whites Of that
state to enact a LAW. similar to the Yir-
ginia statute on thisFsuniect. We make
criminal assault suponS white women and
attempted criminal assault a capital Of
fence. We let the5negro man understand,
and he does understand. that II he lays
his hands upon decent white woman
he puts his neck into the halter. II is
the only safe rule. and 1t has kept many
a negro out OF trouble.
