quarter Of a century was the asser-
lion of Mrs. Ida Wells Barnett at the
aatfonal negro conference. in this city.
Asking why this was permitted by q
Christian nation Mrs. Barnett quoted
John Temple Graves as saying that
the mob stands as the most potential
bulwark between the women Of the
South and such a carnival of. crime
IS would precipitate the humiliation:
of the negro race. All know that this
IS untrue, Mrs. Barnett said.
The lynching record" she added,
'discloses the %hyprocricy Of the
lynchers."
Describing the riots at Springfield,
Ill. Mrs. Barnett said It was all be-
cause a white woman said that a me-
gro man had criminally assaulted her.
Later, Mrs. Barnett said, the woman
published a ~retraction, but the
lynched victims were dead.
Mrs. Barnett, who has spent several
years in the investigation Of lynching
through the South and West, brought
4 proposal to the conference that it
maintain a permanent bureau for In

Destroters Of sunday.

New York,s law and order forces
started promptly 70 inaugurate q de
cent observance-of Sunday at Coney
Island this year. Naturally there Is a
sharp protest against drastic regula-
lions and harsh enforcement Of them.
The Sunday question is Of interest to
the whole country. and in most Sec
tons It turns upon the claim Of the
few that they have a right to destroy
the Sunday Of the many. The few,
however. are not always the law and
order people.
It is often said that If put to vote
strict Sunday laws could not. be main
tanned. But in New York. where the
people have a chance. reckless and
ilisorderly pleasure seekers are held in
check on Sunday. Nearly all the sub
urban communities. some Of them
neighbors of Coney Island and others
ten to twenty miles distant. suppress
Sunday bail playing and beer drink
ing. Each neighborhood looks after
itself. and it may be that the people
would not vote to suppress at Coney
Island what they do suppress around
their own homes. BY going too far
Sunday pleasure seekers invite sup
preston Of their pastimes. They are
the real destroyers Of Sunday. Plead
ers for an open Coney Island claim
that it is the only resort of the poor.
But it is the poor who suffer most
from a wide open Sunday.
