+ I'm it the criminal has found his city

USE BETTER ELEMENT
Among Negroes to Aid in Detection
of Criminals.

Among Negroes to Aid in Detection
of Criminals.
In view of these we'll known facts
do we not fall into cardinal error in
our failure to utilize the better ele-
ment of the colored people in the de-
lection and arrest of criminals of
their own race and in the maintenance
of law and order among them?
Those of us who recall the ancient
regime know that when an offense had
been committed in the quarter it was
necessary for the planter to rely upon
one or more of the best negroes to
aid him in the detection and punish
ment of the culprit.
1t is true now, even in the most
aggravated cases. that the negroes
rarely assist in the efforts of the Off
GERS to arrest negro criminals. On
the contrary, 1t is generally believed
that many of them assist in the es-
cape. If this is true I believe 1t to be
largely ascribable to the widespread
convention among them that if ar
rested the criminal, if his crime is Sc
rious, may not be accorded due pro-
cess OF law. but many be put to death
by lawless methods.
l further believe that If the law-re-
speeding elements among the white
people should unite and give assurance
to the better elements among the ne
groes that in all cases the negro ac>
cused of crime should only be punish
ed in accordance with the law of the
land, that thousands of them would
aid their white friends in the most eff
fective manner.
IN view OF the distressing and
alarming conditions which have ex-
listed in some localities would 1t not
be we'll for the law-respecting MEM
bers of the community to form law
and order leagues and give guarantees
of this sort and invite the cooperation
of such negroes as are well known to
live decent lives, who are securing
homes of their own. who are attempt
ing the education of their children and
who are struggling the best they can
with their limited opportunities to
become good citizens and to lift them
selves and their families to better
conditions of life?
Men of this class never commit the
crimes which SO outrage and infurate
the white people. l believe there is no
recorded case of such crime on the
part of a negro who has home or who
labored steadily at his vocation. The
criminals are the hobos, the nomads,
of their race. 1t is often
impossible for the negroes themselves
to give an account of their antice-
dants. They are usually the vilest
and most degraded tramps.
''Is' not the suggestion worthy OF
consideration by our people? May it
not have the most beneficial results?
Certainly if carried out in good faith
it might bring valuable allies to the
assistance of the officers of the law
when such assistance is sorely needed"

Is Weak and Should BE Strength
ened i'm Many Ways,
ut can be demonstrated that Dur ru-
raj population has nothing like the
protection that they, enjoyed fifty
years ago. Pardon me if here give
expression to language used before I'M
a baccalaureate address at Mercer
University five years ago.
I'm the first place, / presume we
have the most ridiculously paid and
ineffective constabulary of any people
on earth. The costs allowed by law to
the bailiff or constable, the arresting
officer of Georgia militia district,
would not adequately provide for the
necessities of Digger Indian.
THE sheriff is a more important per-
sonage, but it is usually several hours
after the commission of a crime before
ne can be brought from the country
town. BY this time the criminal is
far away. We need in each county
skillful, well trained and well paid
| constabulary-men of courage and
character, skillful woodsmen and
crackers, who know the country, who
are accessible to the people and whose
business it shall be TO pursue the
criminal until his arrest has been ac-.
complished.
Under present conditions the first
thing essential to do when a crime
has been committed is to offer a re-
ward, and this is found to be generally
necessary before effective efforts are
made to bring the criminal to justice.
THE existence of an effective rural
constabulary would do more perhaps
to stay the hand of the criminal than
all other causes put together. 1t is
moreover true that in the conditions of
our society the conviction of the GRIM
inal should swiftly follow his arrest;
that ii, as swiftly as is consistent
with the exigencies of a fair trial. In
the way Of this in my deliberate judy
ment there is opposed provision of
our law which in the delay and ex-
pense of trials and in their miscar-
riage has cost the state more in the
administration of justice than all 9TH
er causes put together"

full duties have ever performed. II
we do not shake off the lethargy which
has brought about these conditions; IL
there is no such revival in Georgia
for respect to the courts, for the en-
forcement of law and for the swift and
righteous administration of criminal
justice, I see clearly the disasters
which are probably to aff1ict us and
certainly to affiict our children.
There is but one country In the
world where there are more murders
and homicides than In ours. That
country is Russia. II is stated that
even in Russia the percentage but
slightly exceeds ours. We cannot take
care of the whole country, but we car
take care of the state of Georgia.
I'VE must have In our state and IN
our country a revival in obedience to
law. We must enforce the law, be-
cause 1t is the one conservative force
that guarantees the possession of all
things this side of the grave that
men hold dear. Humanity demands 1t.

Let us, then, lift up our eyes to
that plane on which lived and moved
the noble dead who in their day and
by their lives gave to the manhood
Of the South a name ever bright IN
the glory OF its gentleness, its hero
ism and its honor; such men pledged
their lives, their fortunes and their.
