NO LYNCHING EXCUSE.
GFREsNo REPUBLICAN,

Every report of Negre lynchings in
the South demonstrates the fictitious
nature of the usual excuse. Shreveport
parish, Louisiana. for instance. Just
reports it's eighth lynching within the
year. Seven Of these eight lyDchings
were for supposed murder and robbery.
In only one case was there any charge
of the offence for which lynching is
usually justified. The Their cases were
all sheer and unmixed barbarism.
There is no more excuse for lynching
Negro for murder or stealing than
there is for lynching a white man for
the same crimes. The law provides its
sure and effective remedy in both cases
and in Louisiana at least there is little
danger Of a guilty Negro escaping.
Lynchlng does not prevent or even
lessen crime; it merely brutallzes the
population. It's only actual explana-
ton is feeling that Negro criminals
are not entitled to be punished by the
law, and the only excuse ever offered
in palliation of it is shown, by a..tual
records of the crimes charged, TO be
purely fictitious. Not emily in this par
ticular Louisiana parish, but through
out the lynching district, lynchings for
ordinary crimes constitute at least
seven-eighths OF the whole.

COMMENT.

1t does not indicate self-conscious ness
in the proper degree when We see so
many of our young men with their hats
worn sidewise, on the backs Of their
heads, hanging on one ear. 1t gives
that tough appearance that is not what
we are striving for.
Our young people are apt in all the
latest dances, and our yonng ladies
should be discriminating when our
young men show lack of judgment. A
self-respecting girl should not expose
herself to adverse criticism by dancing
many figures that are highly suggestive.
Most of our dances are open TO all the
public, and the rounder remarks
F." That's the way we dance on the
coast" Young men who have sisters
cannot consistently defend them from
insult il they are parties 10 suggestive
dapces.
Environment works wonders on per-
sonality. We educate our young men
and surround them with home influence
and reasonably expect the force of such
10 be dominant when
brought i'll contact with the world of
lesser culture 1t does not seem to
work out that way. The lesser culture
reflects its strength. Notice the lam
guage of your sou, the infection of his
voice, the snap OF his tngers. the eA
pressive English. lie only needs the
bones and tambouriDe.

Congregational church, is Bowman
night. For, as Lincoln said, ''if you
like that sort of thing, that is the
sort Of thing you would like" With
reference to him, B. G. Bjornson,
speaks as follows in the Minnesota
Mascot:
LAS an entertainer, Mr.. Bowman

ready arrived There is no shoot
ing over the heads of his audience
He just takes you by the hand and
leads you gently out into the land
of laughter, where the ripping
brooks of frollicking fancy water
the green meadows of mirth. He
makes you forget your troubles and
have a good time whether you want
to or not.
