 Let us disabuse certain minds of their error in believing The Star 70, regard negrophobia at the North as less in- iquitous than negrophobia at the South. Perhaps there is even less excuse here than there; because, as we pointed out yesterday. Northern prejudice has not often the terrible, home4menacing cause which feeds race hate in the South and also because there, and not here, is the menace of unbearable negro domina- tion. The equal and inescapable truth is that North and South lynching most injures them who indulge the weak and foolish deed; that South and North the individual must be. judged and re- warded according to what he does and what he is, not according to his accf- dent of birth and ace. If there is any difference in the disgrace of race riots in Ohio or Indiana and race riots in Mississippi, that difference is unfav9r- able to the Northern community.
