MOB RULE DEPLoRED.
Booker Washington Appeals to Pulpit

and Press.
A dispatch from Birmingham, Ala, last
night says:
The Age Herald tomorrow will publish
the following letter from Booker T. Wash
ington:
Within the last fortnight three men,
bers of my race have been burned at the
stake; of these one was woman. Not one
of the three was charged with any crime
even remotely connected with the abuse of
white woman. In every case murder was
the sole accusation. All of the burnings
took place in broad daylight, and two of
| them occurred on Sunday afternoon, in
sight of Christian church.
I'm the midst of the nations busy and
prosperous life, few, / fear take time to
consider whittier these inhuman and brutal
practlceS are leading us. The custom OF
burning human beings has become so COM
| mon as scarcely to excite interest or at
| tract unusual attention.
Condemns Crimes by Negroes.
II have always been among those who
condemn in the strongest terms crimes of
whatever character committed by members
of my race and 1 condemn them now with
equal severity, but maintain that the only
protection of our civilization is fair ard
calm trial of all people charged with crime
and in their legal punishment if proved
guilty. There is no shadow of excuse from
legal methods in the cases of individuals
accused of murder. The laws are as a rule
made by the white people, and their execu-
ton is by the hands of the white people, so
that there is little probability of any guilty
colOred man escaping
Unjust to His Race.
These burnings without trial are in the
deepest sense unjust to my race; but it is
not this injustice alone which stirs my
heart. These barbarous scenes, followed as
they are by the publication of the shocking
details, are more disgraceful and degrading
to the people who inf1ict the punishment
than those who receive it,
IF the law is disregarded when a negro
is concerned it will soon be disregarded
When white man is concerned and be-
sloeS, the rule of the mob DESTROYS the
friendly relations which should exist be-
tween the races, and injuries and interferes
with the material prosperity of the com
munities concerned.
In Christian Communities.
Worst of all. these outrages take place
IN communities where there are Christian
churches; in the midst of people who have
their Sunday schools, their Christian En-
deavor Societies and Young Mems Chris
tlan Associations; where collections are
taken up for sending missionaries to Africa
ana emma and the rest of the so-caIled
heather world '"
Is 1t not possible for Lulpts and press
10 speak out against these burnings in a
than atie! ,, 'nat snail arouse public sentiment
mat VIII compel the mob to cease insulting
our courts, our governors and our legal an.
lhority, cease bringing shame and rjdcuIe
upon our Christian civilizat tion?"

SCHOOL sUPERINTENDENT's
 VISIT
Timely Aid to PerIshlng Traveller on
 the Desert

School Superintendent Baldwin came iu sunday on official business and left Wednesday. An incident of one of bis trips is thus reported in the Union:
 Prof. Hugh J. Baldwin, the county superintendent of schools, who is nov on the desert on official business, tells uf meeting a man who was nearly fam ishcd for water and who had thrown away in succession his garments, also violin. Prof. Baldwin WAS headed for the Colorado river near Yuma with his team of horses. He picked the man up and conveyed him for fifteen or twenty miles. When the poor fellow caught sight of the river hc nearly went de- lIriOus with joy and ran ahead and threw himself into the water. He drank until he could hold no more, and splashed the water, laughing and cry ing like n child.
 On the trail from Silsbee to Yuha there are a cot pie of graves of emigrants who died of heat and thirst. One is child's grave. lt is believed there are many more m the umexplored parts of the desert. There was report some time ago of the finding of mound of earth and an inscription "Horse Thief Killed Here" but the tale could not be verified. On the Carissa .reek trail, from Banner to Silsbce, there is Il stone monument marking the place where Frank Fox, boy, was shot by an Ari- zona deputy sheriff, who alleged he was n hnrscthIei.
