a little white girl named Ruth
PInchbeck was criminally assaulted
by a colored maU. il is alleged and
Austin Johnson. a colored man with
an unsavory reputation is charged
with the crime. When he was first
arrested. he was carried before the
girl and She failed TO identify him.
He was released. She later declar-
cd that he was the right man. but
that she was afraid TO say so. John
son was again arrested He pro-
tests that he is innocent But that
is neither here nor there. so far as
the point we wish 10 make is con
cerned.
The county authorities and the
city officials have combined in their
efforts TO suppress all forms Of law
lessness and to prevent lynching.
The mob will be made 70 understand
the law and that in maintaining it's
majesty the primary purpose is not
so much TO protect the prisoner as il
is TO defend the government itself.
If Johnson is guilty, he is as good as
dead now. II he is innocent. there
is no law-abiding citizen, be he
white or black. who would wish 70
take his life.
The better class Of colored people
are satisfied whenever a lecherous
scoundrel of this type is made to
walk the stairway and land upon the
gibbet on his way to the other world
They injure us as a people more
than they do the victims of their
bestiality. All we ask IS that the
case be impartially investigated will

fact that the circumstances sur
rounding the case are just as the
victim describes them.

SOUND DOCTRINE.

President Roosevelt seems to have
plenty Of nerve and the energy to
exercise It. He isquoted as saying in
Chicago last Wednesday, where a
teamsters' strike is now in progress
with all OF its resultant forms of law
lessness: -
"I believe thoroughly in each kind
Of organization, but I recognize that
II either kind Of organization does

power for efficiency that has result
ed from the combination means the
increase in its power 10 do harm.
and that. therefore. corporation,
that IS. organized capital and union
that is. organized labor. must alike
be held TO a peculiar responsibility
to- the public az large. and that from
each alike we have the right TO de-
mand not only obedience TO law. but
service 20 the public"
The labor examinations submitted
a strongly worded protest against
the sending of Federal troops in the
state Mr. Roosevelt was asked to
carefully consider an the facts before
ne consented to- the use Of federal
troops TO preserve order. He met
the labor leaders cordially and de
clared that no request had been
made for troops. He virtually told
them though that if they were called
for they would be furnished The
following terse language is admir-
able
'I am believer i'm unions. am
am honorary member of one union.
But the union must obey the law
just as the corporation must obey
