against white women by certain vicious
negroes, but the crowds of boys and
young men who made up the street mobs
took no account of the guilt or innocence
of their victims. The mob murderers ran
amuck and a negros color was his crime.
For a negro to be merely seen o a street
car was sufficient reason to kill him. No
one even yet knows how many were shot,
stabbed or beaten to death and how many
badly wounded; and the police did Moth
ing apparently to stay the human blood
hounds.
With what grace can Americans utter
words of scorn and loathing against Rus
STA for the massacre of the Jews when
such atrocities are possible in the capt.
tai of one of the oldest American states?
Henceforth Georgia must be on trial for
this outrage-not only its people but it's
state officials. If they permit it to go UNI
punished in the courts the state must
share in the bood-guilt of the most
brutal murderer of the mobs

THE POOR PHILOSOPHER.
A lean and hungry savant stroled
Along a city street
And lectured in this happy vein
To every one he'd meet.
My friend, don't seek for yellow gold,
Don't toll for earthly gain.
Your life will be weary grind,
Your days be full of pain.
Content yourself to dwell in peace
Away from worldly care
And when you hear ambition call
Her siren voice beware.
Come. lead the simple life, I pray,
And ever happy be-
Throw off the heavy load you bear
AND live man, like me-"
Twas thus the savant spoke at length,
But people didn't heed.
In fact the minute that they heard
His voice they put on speed.
NO single convert did he make
In all the busy crowd.
Although he pleaded earnestly.
Exhorting them aloud
1t was the same old story of
The fools who couldn't see
When it was pointed out, the road
To rare felicity
With all his arguments he failed
To hold them for a while
Because he looked so cheap beside
The man who'd made his pile"

VA HEN place and street in front
WV are empty. st. Denis carries
w off it's fallen fortunes with
something of dignity. But as last saw it,
on a spring day, when the new con-
scripts of the year had gathered just
outside dancing, singing, buying big
paper rosettes. not one with a thought
or glance to fling to 1T, the church
struck me as being only in the way,
useless, out of gear with the new life
that had grown up about it, preserved
entirely from sense of duty.
The fine interior, so like and so un-
like Westminster Abbey, has virtually
become a museum. The royal tonlbs,
reached by that picturesque wide stair
way to the ambulatory, suggest in their
neat rows so many specimens, labeled and
cataloguea. One cannot see without emo
tion tombs like that of the good King
Dagabert-great, too, though best remem-
bered for the affair of the breaches in
the song-of Louis XII, Henry H., Fran
els l., with their beautiful sculptures; of
the last of the Bourbons, with their bitter
memories. But to follow the sacristan as
he drones out the story learned by heart
and repeated until his very voice betrays
his boredom with the whole business of
royalty, alive or dead, is to see in St.
Denis nothing save the show place for
tourists.
And this is the church that not even
Notre Dame can outrival in the sanctity
the holy man who was first bishop, first
martyr. first saint of Paris; the build
ing founded by Ste Genevieve whose first
chapel over his grave grew eventually
into the church of which the Able SUI
gar made the first experiment with the
pointed arch on so large a scale-the first
great Gothic church; St. Denis, the shrine
of the orifamb of France, the Louvre or
Versailles of dead royalty.
And so it remains only Louvre or a

tween the treatment of the blacks in the
United states and the Jews in Russia. At
lanta will be a name placed along with
Kischineff, Bialystolk and Siedlce
So far as the immediate provocation for
the rioting is worse in Atlanta than in
Russian cities, Atlanta will make the bet
ter showing, but so far as the innocent
have been killed in the stead of the guilty
It will make no better showing
Sc far as public officials have refrainer
from melting riot Atlanta will make the
better showing, but so far as rioting has
occurred which more energetic measures
by police or militia could have prevented
Atlanta must endure the full measure of
blame
And against Atlanta this further ac-
cusation must be made. While Russian
cities are shaken with revolution Atlanta
enjoys the blessings of a peaceful gov
eminent so free from outside restraint
that 1t has just as much power and eff
ficiency as its citizens wish it to have.
The stories of the assaults by black men
on white women, which started the mob
on its course, are indeed terrible. They
should stimulate the city to action. But
that action should not be riot. 1t should
rot be terrorism and the murder of the
innocent 1t should be a determined effort
to control the disorderly element among
the blacks by strong. efficient govern
ment.
Either the crimes of the blacks are not
sufficient to justify rioting or else they
are sufficient to justify the search for a
remedy through the agency of organized
government not outside of it,

THE PICAYUNE ASKS.

Apparently in sober or hysterical
earnest, the New Orleans Picayune
asks:
"How often will the fear of Federal
intervention cause the enraged people
Of communities in which their wives
and daughters are outraged, to fore
stall by summary vengeance any ac-
ton by their State courts, not because
they distrust their own courts, but
because they fear that the Federal
power. discrediting and disregarding
the State courts, shall sWoop down
upon them and carry off from their
jurisdiction every Negro ravisher and
murderer"
We should say, mot very often -
1t is not very often that Federal or
any other kind of courts get any
chance in lynching case until the
thing is all over, when they have the
satisfaction of knowing that the crime
was committed not by the ''enraged
people of communities" but by parties
to the honorable() jury unknown"
And, by the way, it is the special func-
tion of a superior court in many in
stances to discredit and disregard the

Also for some time Chinese railroads
have been run by white foreigners, but
