INJURIOUS PARTIsANSHIP.

The conflict between Russia and Japan IS
being watched with more than ordinary inter
est by the Jews in all parts Of the world, and
there are probably nowhere outside Of Japan
any people who are more uniformly anti Rus
sian than the Jews. The persecution of their
brethren and the seeming indifference OF the
Cars government TO the appeals and protests
are potent reasons for the Jewish leaning tow
ard the cause of Japan; and the demonstrations
CT ioy on the part Of the Jews over the first
victory OF japanese forces are only natural
In their enthusiasm, however, some Jews In
this country have gone a step too far. Rejoic-
ing over the discontinue of their enemy. they
are encouraging action which can only injure
them and do Russia no harm. At Atlanta Colo
mel Silverman, a member OF the Governors
stan, and IN Cleveland a member OF the police
force have simultaneously suggested that the
Jews Of America subscribe to a japanese
war fund. The Cleveland petition reads as fol-
lows;
We. the Jewish residents Of Cleveland, hereby
agree 20 subscribe the sums opposite our names
20 assist the cause OF plucky little Japan in her
just hght against tyrannical Russia.
The men who are circulating the document
will undoubtedly collect some money and this
may do the japanese cause some good, in
small way. II will not crush the Russian En-
pire, neither viii it drive from Office the per
secutors of the Jews in the realm of the Gar.
It may, on the other hand, excite the Russians
to further prosecutions which they would look
upon as retaliatory measures.
If the Jews wish TO give the japanese tangl-
bic evidence Of their sympathy by subscribing
to funds TO build ships or help the cause in
other ways, they should do 80 as friends Of the
cause, regardless Of their religious views Their
money viii do Just as much good II II Is contrib
uted by American citizens, and 1t viii impose
no fresh burdens upon the Jews In Russia.

The Governor and officials are
to be congratulated by all law
abiding people for upholdiRg the
law even if it did take an armed
cavalry to carry out its demands.
I've gleam of hope that lynch
law has had its day in our South
land. Governors and high off
cials are beginning to speak
against it and act accordingly.
The Negroes are beginning to
leave the South in large num-
berS; mills and cotton fields are
becoming depleted for lack of
Negro labor. and they are going to
towns and cities coming North.
The feeling of danger amid mob
murders is spreading rapidly
among they, many are selling out
their homes at great sacrifices and
going elsewhere.
The thinking people and those
who have large interests there can
not let this continue much longer
They see this would mean indus
trial disaster 10 the South. and
unless this condition of unrest
and unsafety is stopped, a deplOr-
able state of things is bound to

places. is not regarded any more
than dying mouse in the claws

Nor can it be denied that the
Outrages in the past few months
assumed a more horrible charac-
ter and been OccasiOned by much
less serious offenses than forRaer-
ly. Let me cite you one or two
instances:
\ cOlOred man not long ago,
was accused of murder. He ds-
capped and his wife fled with him
into the dismal swamps of Louisi-
ana. Both were subjected to saw
age treatment. MANNED, killed |
and burned at the stake.
\ still more striking evidence |
of the brutal spirit of lynching by |
whites: Two Negroes were lynch |
ed who had lynched two men of |
their own race. Surely this dis
regard of law can not long con-
tinue without serious cOnse-
quences.
It is also charged that the col
Ored people. in trying to protect |
the victim of mob violence are |
the crime. We deny
this fatty, but simply ask that the
law be carried out and the ends
of justice met; that the criminal
be proved guilty of the Ofdhse
and punished accordingly.
We do not desire to cOndOne,

Thy. There is room at home for
the American people to begin this
humane work; great questions are
TO be settled; evils to be correct
ed; wrongs to be righted. before
they can clean out the back yards
Of other people.
The primary cause of this mob
violence visited upon us is at
tributed to the implacable race
hatred that has become intensi-
fed by the repetition of assaults
by the lowest, meanest. and most
degraded class of the cOlOred DeO-
Ple-Only degree removed from
the brute. 1t is unjust that we
must suffer and bow our heads
in shame because of these devils
in human shape.
| doubt very much if we are as
well off politically to-day as we
were twenty years or even ten
years ago. Let us see briefly:
Civil rights bill declared uncOn-
StitutiOnal; disfranchisement in
nearly every Southern State; not
a single cOIOred man in Congress
today; public sentiment poison
ed and inflated against us;
wounded in the homes of our
friends; slain in nearly every
county; snUbbed III every place,
and despised by every race. We
must wake up from our lethargic |
sleep; put away obsolete ideas;
get living thoughts for the pres |
ent; cut loose from hindrances
and view our situation as it really |
is
Where are the statesmen of to-
day? We have lost such men as
Sumner, Garrison, Phillips, Love.
Joy, Douglass and others who
dared to speak and contend for
the right. !
The citizens of all. Well-Organ-
izcd republican forms Of govern
ment owe on allegiance and they
in turn expect protection and
must he protected in life, liberty
prosperity and the pursuit of hap /
pineSS.
No nation is truly great that
diScriminates and Oppresses one
class of its citizens. ''NO chain
is stronger than its weakest link"
Surely we are n part and parcel
Of the people of this great coun
try and can rightfulIy demand |
that we be protected even as other
citizens, and this guarantee I
should bring equal and impartial /
punishment to all offenders of the
law.

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-scOrned and laughed al
by the oriental nations of the
world.
The eXigency of the times and
the great seriousness of the oues-
ton 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 the 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
md 1000 Negroes. Sixty per
rent. of the Negroes were charged
with crimes against wOmanhOOd,
the other charges were murder,
race hatred, impudence, etc.
of these were women, %
Of them being white. Last year, in
this country, 11S Negroes were
Iynched, 81 per cent. of whom
were charged with crime against
woman. Many of the others were
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; I 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 race? Such an array of facts
IS enough to bring the blush of
shame to the face of every color
ID American citizen.
The crime of lynching is not
)nly a crime against humanity; |
t also becomes a menace to our
-epublic at its very foundations.
I am free TO admit that there
occurs some times such heniOus
md dastardly crimes that they
shock the whole moral sense of a
,Ommunity-sO much so that
