been proven guilty. after fair
and impartial trial, OF such a
crime. From the Caucasian s
view there is no law IN the books
to reach such crimes, and as a
rule such crimes, when tried in
the court, frequently end in the
very defeat of the purposes OF
the law. Is it any wonder that
the great body of the. people,
noted for their conservatism, are
gradually growing into the enter
tainment of a spirit of contempt
for the courts and the law, which
give opportunity to criminals to
escape on technicalities? For
such a crime as ravishment there
is only one law which can reach
the criminal deserving death. and
it is the law unwritten from which
there can be no appeals or new
trials on technicalities. -Caucas-

Judge Humphrey merely upheld
this rule in the packers case,
stating that the corporation was
still liable to prosecution. The
effect-of this would. be, if "a YER
dict of guilty were returned, that
the corporation would escape
with only "A money fine, as it can

the fine would be cheerfully paid

THE UNWRITTEN LAW.
Highest Court In the Land is
Ignored When Unwritten
Law is Violated.

The Picsyune in reviewing the
intervention of the United States
court in ravlshment cases, and
particularly the Ed johnson case.
q negro who was lynched In Chat
tanooga, Tenn, recently, deplores
the meddling of this court in a
crime of such atroclty to have
aroused the resentment of self
respecting people, irrespective of
geographical location.
This negro had fair trial, as
provided by law, which was con-
coded by the counsel for the pris-
oner, and yet not satisfied with
the verdict of jury of more than
average intelligence. sought to
have the execution delayed on
frivolities, which, perhaps. in
the end would have operated in
the liberation of this brute, and
the people, apprehensive of this
result, overpowered the sheriff.
broke into the Jail and seized the
brute and lynched him as he
should have been. By such an
act, it appears that this court of
the United States has been
treated with contempt and every
effort will be directed by the Fed
eral authority to secure and
punish the men who were connec-
ted with or participated in this
iynching.
Technically, the mandate or
decree of this Federal tribunal
should have been respected, but
the people have become FESTIVE
over the appeals to the Federal
court ia affairs of State, and were
especially incensed in this partic-
ular case. And the Caucasian
may ask In all seriousness who
could blame the citizens Of Chat
tano0ga, when they interpreted
the courts rulings as discredit
and . reflection on the verdict of
the jury.
In its comments the Picayune
says: SIN recent period APP
peals in criminal cases have been
common until within a few years
past, and about the time when
President Roosevelt was supposed
to be standing as the special
champion of the negroes, when
the Booker Washington lunch in
cident was fresh and the presi-
dent was'believed to be trying to
force - many negro officials upon
the South as possible. Federal
Judge in southern state seems
to have invented the notion that
in most southern state courts me-
groes were not given due course
Of law, and be ordered grand
juries to investigate cases that
have been in state courts and
make reports accordingly.
ANY attempt to decry and to.
disparage the state courts in any.
such manner can but have most
pernicious effect upon the me-
groee, and lead to the creating of
nnfriendly relations between the
races when there is no good
reason for anything of the sort.
There Is no race war or persecu-
ton il the south, and when an
atrocious crime is charged to q
negro. there is no disposition to
make it race question, but on
the contrary, all the indignation

Washington June 22.-There IS al
most an open rebellion in the Ken
lucky congressional delegation over
the call for the primaries issued by
he Beckham-Hager machine IL is a
time-honored rule that the call for a
Democratic primary in Kentucky shall
state that Only such men as have voted
the regular Democratic ticket on the
same day as the primary shall be en-
titled to vote in the primary. The
cali issued for the forthcoming pri-

lieved by more than few of the Ken

this omission was not an oversight,
but that was designed in order to
open a way for manipulation Of the

II is feared that there is a scheme
on foot to swap off votes for congress
for votes for the primary candidates.
The prediction is made that unless
he rules are amended so as TO incor-
