Freely conceding to our friends OF the

Bacon's Hot Retort.

Senator Bacon was prompt to take up
the cudgels for the south, and gave Mr..
Root a scorching reply.
THE great state of New York is not
free from the crime Of lynching,' Mr..
Bacon remarked. The great state OF
New York has very much less in the way
of provocatIon, very much less OF those
things, those horrible outrages, which
convert men into demons, than have the
people of the south. They have very
much less of those things. Mr.. Presi-
dent, which deprive men Of their reason
and make them do things which they
would not otherwise do.
"Sir. no man in the south defends
lynching. / say no man. but l mean
10 man OF proper feeling and regard for
the law. Yet many at the south realize
the fact that there are provocations to
resist the power and impulses of which
humanity is not only frail, but helpless.
AS say even in the great state of New
York there has not only been a lynching.
but a lynching Of the most extreme and
son lynched was burned at the stake.
But further than that. Mr.. President
there would be ten lynchings in New
York to where there ever has been one
if it were not that New York is a thickly
populated state, and most of the provoca-
tons to lync"ings occur in large COM
munities where there is ample police pro-
lection to protect the intended victim
from the mob.
"A year, sir never passes but that the
New York papers tell us OF several, il
not many. efforts to lynch people even in
the city of New York; efforts which
would be successful but for the fact that
there is an army OF policemen to pre-
vent them. whereas in the south. with
innumerably more occasions for those oc-
currences which stir men to these law

Subject of Discussion.
Mr.. Roots Specifications.

Mr.. Root accepted the challenge.
There have been in the southland my
remarks are limited to the south because
1t is there that the questions arise under
the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments
and for no other reason-there have been
in the south lynchings, which 1 am sure

has been peonage which l am sue he
deplores equally with myself; there have
been introduced into the constitutions Of
the southern states clauses which are
grouped under the general description OF
grandfather clauses and which are ap-
parently adapted to limit the operation
| of the fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments.
mr.. President, the people Of the United
States are willing. apparently, to hold
their hands and to give Godspeed to the
people of the south in working OUT the
great and difficult problem that is be-
lore them.
But, sir. If it should come into the
mind of the people Of the United states
that the protection of the blacks. which
was designed in these amendments, is
not being secured; if 1t should come that
| the people Of the United States are con-
| WINGED that injustice and oppression a~e
| being visited upon them, then the great
ment to enforce in full the fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments will be exsr-
cised, and ought to be exercised. So long
as the people Of the south are working
out their difficult problem In kindness TO
the blacks. SO long the rest OF the coun-
try looks on with sympathy and with
good wishes; but IL it stall ever come
that the spirit Of lynching and peonage
denies to those poor people the proeec

tuition were designed to give to them then
the reserve power will be re-enersized
