4 WORD ABOUT IT.

The action OF Governor Swanson
in protecting William Lee from a
mob and his subsequent transfer to
the jail at Norfolk IS deserving OF
all commentator. Equally SO is
the attitude of Gov. Wardeld of Ma
rylanj who commended Virginia's
Chief Executive for so doing. II
Lee has committed the crime Of
criminal assault, death will be his
portion. It is we'll 60 remember
that in the matter of the mainte-
nance OF the law and the putting
down lynching there is no politics
for Democratic governors are e.
qually as prompt in performing their
duty as are Republican ones.
II would be well to remark that
we have no sympathy with the rap
list and the sooner the earth is riI OF
him the better for all concerned. He
is equalled inly by the mob that is
anxious 10 murder and torture him.
The colored people nave need 10 con
tinue their efforts against the de-
PRAYED elements of the race. Ev-
cry crime committed by them throws
the shadow of suspicion upon every
upright cOlOred man, leading a god
ly Christian life.
The crime of rape is heinous and
men who arc guilty Of it are entitled
TO nosympathy whatever. We only in
sist that they shall be excited by
tne strong arm Of the law
The oOlored man who commits a
heinous wrong Injuries himself first.
but more than this, he Injuries the
race Of colored people with whom ne
is idenethed. This should not be so
but 1t is so, and it is the result Of
the peculiar conditions now existing
in this country.
