THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
lContinued from Page One.)

Now, under these circumstances, l am
forced to the conclusion, in case in
which the proof is so clear and the
facts are 50 flgrant, it is the duty Of
the court to fix a penalty which shall
in some degree be commensurate with
the gravity of the offense. AS between
the two defendants, In my opinion, the
principal penalty should be imposed
on the corporation. The traffic man
ager i'm this case, presumably. acted
without any advantage to himself and
without any interest in the transac-
ton, either by the direct authority or
in accordance with what he underst God
to be the policy or the wishes of his
employer.
The sentence of this court in this
case is that the defendant, Pomeroy.
FOR each OF the six offenses upon which
he has been convicted, be fined the
sum of $1,000, making six fines,
amounting in all to the sum of $4,000;
and the defendant, The New York
Central and Hudson River Railroad
Co, for each of the six crimes of which
1t has been convicted. be fined the
sum of $4,000, making six fines
amounting in the aggregate to the sum
of S1oS,000, and judgment to that eff
feet will be entered in this CASE

| for the man who puts money by out
of his earnings, like the man who ac-
quires education, Is usually lifted
above mere brutal criminalty. OF
course the best type of education for
the colored man. taken as a whole, Is
such education as Is conferred in
schools like Hampton and Tuskegee;
where the boys and girls, the young
men and young women. are trained
ndustrally as well as in the ordinary
public school branches The gradu-
ates of these schools turn out well In
the great majority of cases, and hard
ly any of them become criminals,
while what little criminality there is
never takes the form of that brutal
violence which invites lynch law.
Every graduate of these schools-and
for the matter of that every other COLI
ored man or woman-who leads a life
so useful and honorable as to win the
good will and respect of those whites
whose neighbor he or she Is, thereby
helps the whole colored race as 1t can
be helped IN no other way for the
next to the negro himself, the man
who can do most to help the negro IS
his white neighhor who lives near
him, and our steady effort should be
to better the relations between the
two. Great tho the benefit of these
schools has been to their colored pupils
and to the coiOred people, 1t may we'll
be questioned whether the benefit has
not been at least as great to the white
people among whom these colored pu-
pills live after they graduate.
Be 1t remembered, furthermore, that
the individuals who. whether from fol-
ly, from evil temper, from greed for
office. or in a spirit of mere base
demagogy indulge In the fnflamma-
tory and ncendiary speeches and writ
irgs which tend to arouse mobs and
to bring about lynching, not only thus
excite the mob, but also tend by what
criminologishs call IS g session.
greatly to increase the likelihood of
REPETITION of the very crime against
which they are inveighing. When
the mob is composed of the people Of
one race and the man lynched Is OF
another race, the men who In their
speeches and writings either excite
or justify the asction tend, of course.
to excite a bitter race feeling and to
cause the people Of the opposite race
to lose sight of the abominable act Of
the criminal himself; and In addition,
by the prominence they give to the
hideous deed they undoubtedly tend to
excite In other brutal and depraved
natures thoughts of committing 1t.
Swift, relentless, and orderly punish-
ment under the law is the only way by
which criminality OF this type can per-
manently be supprest.

JUSTICE TOO OFTEN DEFEATED
Should Be Stop to Frequent Setting
Aside of Cases on TechnicaIities.

In connection with this matter,
would like to call attention to the very
unsatisfactory state of our criminal
law, resulting in large part from the
habit of setting aside the judgments
of inferior courts on technicalities alb
solutely unconnected with the merits
of the case, and where there is no at
tempt to show that there has been
any failure of substantial justice. 1t
would be we'll to enact a law provid-
ing something to the effect that,
No judgment shall be set aside or
new trial granted in any cause, civil
or criminal. on the ground of misdi-
.rection of the jury or the improper ad-
mission or rejection of evidence, or for
error as to any matter of pleading or
procedure unless, in the opinion of the
court to which the application is
made, after an examination of the en-
tire cause. it shall aff1rmatively ap-
pear that the error complained Of has
resulted in a miscarriage of justice.
