Attacks Foundation Of All True Gov.
srnmsnt, Says DR.. Jones.
Under the caption, "The Crime OF
Lynching Needs National Attention, -
the Southwestern Christian Advocate
ably edited by that fearless agitator
for human rights, DR.. r. e. Jones.
says:
"The recent reckless taking Of life
in various parts of the country is an
imperative call upon the listless ears
and the calloused conscience of the
American people. The crime of lynch
ing grows. Constitutional law and pro.
cedure weaken.
Permit the former, and the latter
necessarily follows. 1t does not mat
ter what the color of the victim OF the
mob may be or the crime OF which he
is accused, when duly enacted law is
set aside the foundations Of all true
governments are attacked and sooner
or later means inevitable failure. Dur
ing the. recent session of the Washing
ton conference resolution was intro
duced by DR.. Ernest Lyon which was
unanimously adopted.
'It called attention to the fact that
the orderly operation of law and JUS
tice is seriously threatened by mob vio-
lence; that the practice of lynching hu-
man beings without trial by law, and
the more heinous and atrocious crime
of burning men alive, are not only on
the increase, but are no longer con-
fined to any particular section of our
commonwealth.
ut is happy omen that President
Taft In very recent address before
the alumni of Howard university and
great audience Of colored people in
Washington took Lynching' as his
text"

The wife Of DR.. Harvey johnson,
Baltimore's leading Baptist clergyman,
is writer of stories suitable for Sun

Baptist Publication society paid her a
handsome sum few years ago for two
books from her pen. Mrs. Johnson is a

the noted evangelist. has published an
interesting autobiography Of her labors
in Africa, England and the United
States. Poor Benz is the title of a
biographical sketch Of the late Bishop
Arnett, from the pen Of Miss Lucretia
Coleman.
Ida B. Wells Barnett in journalism
welded trenchant pen twenty or
thirty years ago, and her right hand
has not yet lost its cunning, for she is
now editing weekly newspaper in
Chicago as Mrs. Barnett. There used
to be several other papers edited by
our women. Ringwood's Magazine was
an ambitious undertaking and a credit
able production. The Woman Era was
edited in Boston by Mrs. Josephine
st. Pierre Ruffin.
There are any number of careful and
brilliant women correspondents, some
Of whom have done and are doing good
work on race papers and papers pub
lished by white people. Miss Ida Grif-
I'm was for number of years editor
Of a periodical devoted to the interests
OF the home and fashion, which circu-
lated largely in the south. Mrs. Mary
G. Lawton, wife of the Rev. DR.. Will
liam r. Lawton, the successful pas
tor of st. James Presbyterian church
in New York, contributes regularly to
a Brooklyn daily, the Standard Union,
and Mrs. Lydia c. Smith is regularly
employed by the Brooklyn Daily Eagle.
For eleven years Mrs. Smith has re-

people in Greater New York for the
Eagle. She Is secretary of the WON
ans auxiliary board of managers Of
the Howepd Colored Orphan asylum
and vice president of the Fifty-third
Street (New York; Young Womens

There are bright women enough in
the race to have a paper all their own
Just as their white sisters have, and II
IL hoped that they will get together
and think about 1t. There are enough
women societies of one sort and an
other to support a paper Independent

even some compositors among our wo
men, az well as writer's. poets ant

one such man who built handsome

friends, and it became widely known.
To tue surprise Of all, therefore, the
name was one day suddenly changed
to Sylvan Nook" and flood of in.

Strange Guest. at St. Bernard.

An enormous flock OF swallows was

the famous Hospice of st. Bernard in

monks saw the birds, they opened the
doors and windows of their building

might have shelter.

them, thousands remaining until sun

DEMOCRATS AND TARIFF.

There is no need of this cry that the
country is going to the bow-wows be-
cause of the intention Of President
elect Wilson to call congress together
and revise the tariff. 1t is true that
when Mr.. Wilson presents the tariff
problem he does it before rs new
members of the house Of representa-
tives whose education in tariff meas
ures has been purely local. Even with
this outlook United States will not
allow her industries, her activities and
her prosperity to be injured because a
few more hicks have been hammered
in the tariff chisel.
A few business interests have declar-
ed that the call for a tariff revision
will sound the death knelI of prosperi-
ty. The sooner the Democrats call
congress and boil over the tariff the
sooner this nightmare of the few will
be over. Republicans who have worked
for years studying conditions in this
country admit that the new members
in congress may plunge wildly into the
mysteries of the tariff but they are
optimistic in that they do not believe
the country is tied down to a few
strands of the protective tariff.
Perish the thought!
