LENIENCY TOWARD CRIME

Editor star: There appeared in your
paper several weeks ago an excellent
article deplorinE the fact that the
great majority Of our citizens, while
denouncing the existence Of crime and
often fruitless efforts Of our officials
to put down the same. would condone
the crimes complained of rather than
furnish the evidence that would lead
10 a conviction. The writer would
suggest that there is even a more
serious side Of the matter TO consider
than the one previously dealt with
~ al the door Of the public officials
The good citizen" cannot 90 further
than to furnish the affidavit necessary
TO the action on the part of the Of
fetal: then the warrant must issue.
and then service must be had If the
official look with disfavor on the is
suance Of the warrant or if il be I'M
pleasant for another official TO effect
the service on same, the wheels of
justice set in motion by the good citi-
zen revolve more and more slowly and
they stop entirely if he does not show
strong determination to keep them 60
ing. The latter task. that of prodding
our public officials and awakening
them TO their plain and recognized
duties, j. so distasteful and disgusting
to the average citizen who has reposed
his confidence and given his vote to
the man in office that the number of
warrants dying unnatural deaths and
the crimes condoned and UNPUBLISHED
are a serious menace to society.

DEBASiNG NATURE AND
DESPISlNG GOD.

From the Fort Worth Record.
Shocking and sickening as is the
Chicago story of a young white girls
infatuation with Jack Johnson a1d
the black animals british insistenac
upon holding her within the tolls of
his power, il should not surprise .ny
man who has the slightest ken OF
racial instinct or the faintest appre-
citation of the philosophy of social
consequence
The only wonder is that an intalli-
gent people have permitted associa-
tions that make the least compromise
with fundamental principle
To put 1t in paradox, this de.
yelopment is the natural result of an
unnatural contact Of whites and blacks
tolerated Tor gain, or for sport or for
convenience When white men meet
negro men in the prize ring, when
they ride together in street cars, or
railroad cars, or when they meet upon
any common plane, they stand upon a
footing OF equality for the occasion,
and repeating the occasion estab.
fishes status which has no limita-
lion or differentiation in the mind Of
the needless white or the covetous
and lustful black
There is no culture of mind or
heart or uplift of soul of the ndi-
yidual black man that warrants social
equality with the white man That
is hard saying, but it is the decree
of nature and God, and to ignore it
is to debase nature and despise God
May not the black man aspire? Yes,
as high as the heavens May he not
expand? Yes, throughout the whole
wide universe But aspiration ard ex-
pansion are not hinderod by conhne.
ment within the association Of his
own race BY ard of himself. among
his own, he must pursue his own way
and he may tot he permitted to pur-
ste any other without consequences
revolving to the white man and ulti
mately destructive to himself, for
such instances as this repeated will
provoke reyulsion and antagonism
merciless and far-feaching
They play with fire who venture to
cross the line of racial separation by
SO much as The slightest step or in
the faintest degree. 1t is not because
the individual white man is injured
by the contact of the moment, or that
the individual black man may not be
bettered by the association. II that
were all there would be no race prob
lem. and the rule would rest upon an
uaseemly prcindite President Roose.

that part OF its remarks are worth
printing:
The Muskogee Commercial Club in
its new organization shows every sign
of activity and success. Perhaps no
city Of its size in the United States
has better material for city building
than Muskogee. The people here have
made a study of the proposition almost
as carefully as a scientist in his lab
oratory People have come here from
nearly every state in the Union with
new ideas and bright minds and an
eager desire to better their condition
in life. The people are broad minded
and considerate and glad to see other
cities grow, for there is plenty of
room in Oklahoma for growth and de-
yelopment. A careful study of tangi-
BILE and available assets and a good
program for the years worth with the
pleasure of seeing things accomplished
will bring results not only to the city
but to the country also.
The establishment OF an auction
sales day for the benefit of the farm
ers will tend to give every farmer an
opportunity to get what he needs
without any loss to the community.
The agricultural committee in secur-
ing farms for tenants and bringing
in farmers from other states will
prove very beneficial, and the fret
quent lectures by men well versed in
agriculture and horticulture help to
raise the general average of intelli-
gence which will spread throughout
Muskogee county.
When Mr.. Carnegie returned from
Scotland a few months ago he said he
would not give up his American eiti-
zenship for round trip to paradise.
This is the spirit that makes prosper
GUS communities. The Kansas City
Star recently said If the men of
the late COS in Kansas City had not
had the imagination to foresee the
chances of the city's growth, and the
energy to act on their vision, the first
railroad bridge across the Missouri
would have gone to another town,
Imagination aad energy are as neces
sary today as they were in the COS. "
The suggestion that women organize
boosting clubs should be supplemented
by boosting clubs organized by the
boys and girls of the high school. The
spirit of boosting should permeate
the entire community from early child
hood 1t costs nothing aud accom-
plishes much

welt was not hurt by the dinner with
Booker Washington, for with all re-
spect to the host it may be said that
the guest was individually worthy of
] the hospitality But in the mathe-
mates OF races, the honest, hublest
black is Washlngtons equal; and
since Washington was made equal with
Roosevelt. the lowest black became
equal with chiefest of the white race.
That is the philosophy Of the black
mans reasoning; that is the corellary
that finds unconscious lodgment in the
white mind moved to an association
lby whim or temporary advantage.
Jack Johnson had a white wife, who
is now dead, and nothing i'll may be
said OF the dead But the example
has borne fruit in the weak brain of
this poor child Of passion who would
give her birthright for the gratifica-
ton Of diseased or insane fancy
The suicide OF the other one, pro
voked perhaps by belated realization
of her racial debasement, is no warn
ieg to the younger victim lured by no
toriety and intoxicated by adventure.
And that isn't all "Oh, some of
the best white women in Chicago ride
in this car said Johnson to the girls
mother when she shrank from being
seen in his automobile. OF couse the
best white women" in Chicago do not
ride in that car, but Johnson sees no
reason why they should not; other
british negroes there and elsewhere
see no reason why they should not;
and thus in millions of negro minds is
born the purpose of impudence and
insult and outrage to be visited upon
white women any time and anywhere.
What have we of the south to be
concerned about in this unspeakable
infamy which the undiscernng North
tolerates? May we not be content to
our own standards, maintain
our social integrity and let others in
dulge animalism and amalgamation to
the utmost of their destial bent?
No, for we have knowledge they do
not know; we have experiences which
should teach them to beware, and
we are not faithful as our brothers
keepers if we do not cry loud and
warn them of their peril.
Besides, they can not conceal these
exploits from the knowledge of our
blacks, and our blacks will be
to more wicked deeds. Quick
and sure vengeance awaits the least
here, but it would be
little less than criminal not to en-
deayor to prevent the occasion for
Thousands Of black brutes all over
the land will be moved by this cir
to entertain the nameless
desire which always turks in the mind
of the low and lustful
we may not calculate how many
white women must suffer the conse-
quence OF such example-nor how
many black men may be destroyed to
lold the others OF the race in leash. |
