We all think we have q lot more
coming to Us than we ever get.
II a man really has money he says
he is poor. When a man boasts Of bis
great possessions you may know he Is
q brag.
The cold facts are that when your
age Is guessed several years younger
than 1t really Is some one Is trying to
be agreeable to you.
Don't pay people left handed compIi-
ments. If you want to compliment
them and they deserve 1t. give 1t to
them straight from the right shoulder.

the financier. There is a story that
Jay Gould once called upon him on
business. Lord Rothschild sent out
word that he was too busy to see the
caller. Mr.. Gould, not accustomed to

UNSPEAKABLE BRUTALITY OF
THE ATLANTA MOB.

If the character of the President for
impulsiveness, so generally ascribed
to him by all who know him, were
not true we would suspicion that there
was design, and an evil one, too, in
his order Of preemptory dismissal Of
the Negro Battalion; not less in that
than in his message trying to Justify
that dismissal. In that message he
alludes to the Atlanta riot as being
provoked by Conspiracy OF silence.
and being caused by the fact" as he
asserts, that respectable Colored peo-
pie harbor criminals" Since this I'M
usual message, vituperating the re-
spectacle element of a whole race of
people, the committee of Atlanta to
dls0urse funds for the relief of suffer
ers from the bloody and Iawless mob.
that "Crucified Atlanta in the eyes of
the world" have made their report.
We quote sections of the report from
the Atlanta Constitution of December
29, 1906.
THE committee found that twelve
persons were killed and seventy were
wounded during the riot. OF the
wounded, ten were white and sixty
Negroes.
Among the victims there was not
a single vagrant, but all were work
ing and supporting families.
ITO the murders, states the COM
mittee, robberies were added. and
men and women were treated with
unspeakable brutality
The declaration was made that
several hundred murderers and would.
De murderers are now at large in the
city"
What does this "Unspeakable bru-
tally" mean? This investigating conn.,
mittee of white men uses the words
"unspeakable brutality" in describing
the crimes of the white mob. If first
ailudes to the murders and robberies
OF the mob, but adds to them crimes
OF ''unspeakable brutality" not that
the murders and robberies were "un-
speakable brutalities," for our English
never bushes in describing crimes of |
crime, the English of which is un-
printable, and its description in pub
lie print, becomes unspeakable. That |
crime is rape, and, it is being guilty |
OF that crime that the Atlanta commit
tee charges the mob. So, the picture |
presented before us by the official re.
pert OF the Atlanta committee of re-
lief is that of a mob of white rapists. |
men banded together not for the pro-
lection Of virtue, but for pillage, muir
der and rape. They broke into homes.
murdered men raped mothers and |
daughters, and, then, may be, like the |
soldiers Of the Allied Powers in China
a few years ago. after violating the
persons of women, pinned their bodies
to the floor with bayonets.
Now, cries the Atlanta Constitu-
ton, There are several hundred muir
derers at large in Atlanta" How
many Of these several hundred are
guilty Of "unspeakable brutality" or
rape?
II President Roosevelt had waited
until this committee made its report
he would have found in it no aIlusion
to the charge Of Negroes committing
rape as provoking these "atrocious Of
lenses at Atlanta" and, may be. he
would have foreborne to make such a
savage attack upon a large ana loyal
element Of the American people.-The
