SOME OTHERS ARE WORSE

The attempted assassination Of
Mayor Gaynor Of New York empha-
sizes the fact that out of the Negro
race there has not yet come an an
archist nor an assassin of men in
power. 1t 10 not because the black
man is inherently coward, if he
VINO shoots a defenseless man is
brave, not because he Is SO consti-
tuted as to be racially averse to TAX
ing life, but because he has a greater
devotion to his country, a greater
love for its institutions, a higher
regard for the sanctity of those in
authority.
The Negro may be an undesirable
citizen, but there are several other
elements in our roAm opolitan pOpu-
iation whose records are not nearly
SO good, /

Six Sound Thrashings
for Six Little Negroes

Six sound thrashings for six. little
negro boys will be the result of a de-
c1sion handed out by Police Judge
MacCorkle this morning. The six
boys, ranging In age from 6 to 10
years, were charged with breaking
90 a box car in the Kanawha and
M4SAigan yards and stealing "sweet
cakes
Between sobs they each told their
story and everything was thrown on
to Allan Dehoney, Jr, whom they
said broke the seal OF the car with Il
piece Of iron. Adams father was
there, too, and when his honor SEN
fenced each to a good thrashing by
the parents, he told the Judge that
Allan, Jr., would get his. He also
said he feared there would be a great
deal Of noise, and asked that none Of
the officers be alarmed.

IS 1T MERELY a COINCIDENCE?

The readers Of this paper will re-
call cartoon appearing therein
some weeks ago under the caption
Is the church simply a money ma
chine?"
In this issue will be found a call
Tor the annual conference Of that de-
nomination whose alleged love for
money has given it-much -unenviable
publicity within the past few months.
1T will be noticed that money is the
subject Of three of the four para
graphs Of the call. The pastors and
their congregations are urged to have
ready monies for several purposes,
but there is a strange silence as to
those things the congregation has
been taught to believe fundamentals
in every denomination founded upon
the religion of Jesus Christ.
Was that cartoon merely a
coincidence or is the church simply
Il money machine?

CASE OF DIR. CRIppEN
A Contrast of the English and the
American System.

Atlanta Constitution: The Englisl
system of law enforcement has again
demonstrated, in a striking manner, it
advantage over the American system il
a case of international interest.
Dir. Crippen, the American DENTS
charged with the murder of his wife
was tried, found guilty and sentenced Il
| hang all within FIVE days.
In America a case that had attracted
SO much public curiosity and interes
might have been expected to consume
as many weeks or months.
In contrast with the notorious ant
noisome Thaw case, this record shames
Americas legal criminal procedure
There were no direct witnesses of the
crime in the Crippen case; there were
many in the Thaw case. Crippen was
convicted on the most direct circum-
stantial evidence; yet despite the OPP
portunity for tedious discussion, the
lawyers discussed the merits of the
case briefly and pointedly, the judge
charged 'succinctly, and left it to tbs
jury.
The jury, looking only to the merits
of the case, pronounced the accused
guilty and the judge sentenced him to
hang on November Is.
An appeal may be taken and be heard
and the execution yet take place within
two months.
In America it is possible for a man
to be tried, convicted, have his case APP
pealed and decided, and the final word
pronounced within sixty days But how
many cases does the reader know of
where it was done?
Public sentiment, if properly aroused,
viii solve the problem. If legal penal
ties are too severe, it is infinitely better
to modify them than to permit the law
to be fouted and brought into the dis
regard which failures to inflict legal
penalties involve
Under any law that was ever framed.
injustice may be done. Even under the
divine law, the innocent suffer with the
guilty.
Speedy legal trials are not to be
sought at the expense of just and fair
trials But the system that permits a
lawyer TO practically ignore his case on
its first trial, confident that the newly
discovered evidence, which his indus
try in the beginning might have devel
oped, can be used afterwards as a basis
for plea for new trial. is an in
iquitous, denloralizing and dafnring sys-
tenn.

NATIONAL FOREST FIRE
Damage in Montana and Idaho-In a

the national forests in Montana and
Northern Idaho, upon which the forest
officers of the United States Depart

since the fires were put out, puts the
total amount of timber killed or de-
stroyed in this one district at over six
billion board feet, while the area burned
over is put at over one and a quarter
million acres
The heaviest losses were in two
Idaho forests, the Couer d'Alene where
over three billion board feet Of timber
are reported killed or destroyed and
over 10000 acres burned over. and the
Clearwater where one billion feet of
timber were killed OF destroyed and
100000 acres burned over. On the Hell
era National Forest in Montana the loss
II timber is believed to have been half
a billion feet, On the Cabinet forest
four hundred million and on the Lolo
