It's crimes not limited to any race
or sex fill us to-day with horror
and alarm over our present con
ditiOn. This great sin of mob
bing men and women to death.
not always for an assault on wo-
man, but for other offences, has
become a great national disgrace
IA blot upon Americas es-
cutcheOn sscOrned and laughed at
by the oriental nations of the
world.
The exigency of the times and
the great seriousness of the ques-
tiOn before us require that we stop
and deal with it as we find it tell
ing the naked truth and unmis-
taxable facts.
One peculiar feature of mob
law is that it takes a thousand
white men to kill one Negro, chas-
ing him with bIOOdhOunds over
counties, through streams, over
mountains. to take the life of one
man and often he almost breath
less victim begs for time to prove
his innocence.
1t is charged that we are the
only people as a rule that assault
wOmanhOOd. | ask you, is the
charge true? From statistics and
reports we certainly are in the
lead. 1t is authOritatively stated: /:
during the last twenty years
there have been in round num-
bers 1,S00 cases of lynchings in
this country. Six hundred whites
and 1.200 Negroes. Sixty per
cent of the Negroes were charged
with crimes against wOmanhOOd,
the other charges were murder,
race hatred, impudence, etc.
SiXty-siX of these were women, %
of them being white. Last year, in
this country. 11S Negroes were
lynched, 81 per cent. Of whom
l,were charged with crime against
woman. Many of the others we're
perpetrated on slightest provOca-
tiOn-the real cause being race
| HATRED. In the last twenty-five
years 5000 human beings have
been put to death by lawless mObs.
Pause a moment and look the
field over; | ask again, have you
ever heard of the Jews, the Chi
nese or the wild Indian, or the
Italian, if you please, assaulting
their own women or women of
any RAGE? Such an array of facts
is enough to bring the blush of
shame to the face of every color
led American citizen.
The crime of lynching is not
only a crime against humanity;
it also becomes a menace to our
republic at its very foundations
I am free to admit that there
occurs some times such heniOus
and dastardly crimes that they
shock the whole moral sense of a
