Public Sentiment and Lynching.

In conjunction with the Southern Sociological
Congress, which meets in New Orleans this week,
the Southern Conference for Education and In
hcials judges, lawyers and others, will devote
two days to the consideration of measures for the
creation of a stronger and more active public
sentiment in favor OF the preservation of law and
order in the South, which it is hoped may result
in the suppression of the crime of iynching. This
is movement which will command the support
of the better class of citizens of the Southern
States, who have long recognized that mob vio-
lence is not only stain upon the reputation of
the South but that it retards the material prog
ressi of whole rich section of the country by
diminishing enterprise and investment for the de-
velopment of its resources.
Though lynehing is still all too prevalent in
several of the Southern States, none has even ap-
preached the hideous record of Georgia in the
past year. In that State more than a score of
persons were put to death by mobs in 1915, and
to its shame it must be said that the hand of the
law was either not stretched forth to stay or to
punish, or proved itself too weak for the task
1t is, incredible that public sentiment even in

policy that would undertake to stop lynching by
the of all the force at command if necessary,
or to hunt down and punish as they deserve the
perpetrators of such crimes as could not be pre-
vented. If the people would disapprove the dras-
tic application of the law to the lynchers then this
Southern Conference for Education and Industry
would have before 1t hard if not a hopeless
task. Certainly its accomplishment would require
years.
1t Is more reasonable to believe, however, that
the obstacle to success is not so formidable that
all that is needed is to arouse public sentiment
from state that passingly accepts lynching as a
necessary evil of no great Importance to realiza-
ton of the truth that it is blot upon our civil
ization that can be wiped out at the command OF
the people to their representatives in control of
the State governments. These officials would
abolish lynehing had they reason to fear that the
people would turn them out diseredited if they
failed 1t is not to be believed that the majority
of the people of the South approve of lynching;
they simply fail emphatically to express disap-
proval of it.
If the conference at New Orleans can inspire
them to lift their voices so that they will be heard
and understood by those charged with the duty of
enforcing the laws, the South may be redeemed
in time to point accusing finger at Mexico.
The Washington herald., 1916-04-12

No one who thought Justly or toll
erantly could think that the yeritsble
overthrow of civilization in the South
had been foreseen or desired by the
men who had followed Mr.. Stevens
and Mr.. Wade and Mr.. Morton in their
policy of rule or ruin.
That handful of leaders IL was, how
ever, hard to acquit of the charge OF
knowing and intending the ruinous
consequences of what they had plan
ned. They would take counsel of mod
eration neither from northern men nor
from southern. They were proof
against both fact and reason in their
determination to put the white South
under the heel of the black South"
They did not know the region with
which they were dealing. Northern
men who did know 1t tried to inform
them of its character and of the dan
ger and folly of what they were un-
dertaking; but they refused to be in
any case fixed upon the accomplish
ment of a single object
Their colleagues, their followers
kept many of them. a cooler mind, a
more prudent way of thought, but
could not Withstand them. They, too
were ignorant of the South. They
saw but a little way into the future
had no means OF calculating what the
effects of these drastica measures
would be upon the life and action OF
the South. and lacked even the knowl-
edge of mere human nature which
might have served them instead of an
acquaintance with the actual men they
were dealing with.
They had not foreseen that to give
the suffrage to the negroes and with
hold IL from the more capable white
men would bestow political power, not
upon the negroes. but upon white ad-
venturers. as much the enemies of the
one race as of the other.
In that day of passion. indeed, they
had not stopped to speculate what the
effects would be. Their object had
been to give the negro political power
in order that he might defend his
own rights, as voters everywhere
else might defend theirs. They had
not rocked of consequences; for little

The State of Massachusetts spends over
$4ooo,ooo year for the care and support of its
insane people, and it must build more places to
keep them, says Secretary Briggs of the State
board of insanity, before the legislative commit
appropriates 100000 for a new insane hospital
for the metropolitan district. There are about
5000 insane patients from the metropolitan dis
trict and half of them from Boston. 1t is won
der that so few 5000 have been marked crazy
in Boston. The grading is wrong for sure. The
democracy should not hide the incompetents that
way. 1t prevents the sane voters getting chance
to turn Boston into real Massachusetts, city

while they had not cared what they
might be.
They had prepared the way for the
ruin Of the South, but they had hardly
planned to ruin it.
News of what was going on in the
South was not slow to make its way
to the ears of the country at large;
but the editors of northern newspa-
pers at first refused to credit what
they heard. Men dismissed the re-
ports with an easy laugh, as simply
the South's cry of evaporation that
the negro should have been given the
ballot and the power TO rule.
i But incredulity grew more and more
difficult, the accounts of what was
going on grew more and more circum-
stantial; proof came close upon the
heels of rumor; and opinion began to
veer unsteadily.
1t shifted not only because Of the
disquieting news that came from the
South, but also because OF the desper-
ate strain the government itself was
put to at Washington by reason of
the open breach and warfare between
the President and Congress.
The masterful men who led the con-
gressional majority had not contented
themselves with putting such laws as
they chose upon the statute books de-
gone much further and taken steps to
make the President a mere fgure-head
