OWE WANT THAT NIGGER.'

Just then a group Of masked men
appeared. eve want that nigger,"
was their command. The sheriff re-
monstrated He soon saw what the

Page was swallowed up by the crowd
and led away to the front of a school
house in the heart of colorod set
Element. There after the prisoner
had been allowed to see his wife and
mother, the execution took place by
hanging. The crowd then dispersed.
There was no appeal to the gov
ernor for troops. The attack, cap
ture and lynching all occurred in four
hours. There was little time for de-
liberation. Troops could not have
reached the section for hours after
wards.
The last lynching in Virginia was
on March 81, 1900, during the admin
istration OF Governor J. Hoge Tyler
in Grecnesville county, near Emporia
Va. During the fire at Hopewell
over year ago, it was reported that
a colored man had been lynched for
looting burning houses but there was
no truth in the report.
On several occasions in recent years
governors have been called upon and
have sent troops to restore order and
prevent lynchings. -ltichmond, Va.

Politely, our relations with that ma
ton are of the friendliest. We gladly
aided in the awakening of that country
but a few decades ago. For some un'
known reason the people Of this
country sympathized with her in her
war with Russia. though our sentl'
ments, II influenced BY past events,
should have been with the subjects OF
the Car. There are many traits or
japanese character that we admire.
But while we are and shall continue 10
be in relations Of friendship with the
japanese nation, We must not forget
that in the commercial rivalry that is
certain TO increase we must hold our
own or be vanqulshed.
By reason Of her lower standards
of wages and living. Japan is able TO
undersell our producers in our home
markets. This she will continue TO do
In rapidly increasing degree. after the
war is over, unless we restore the pro
tective tariff barrier which gives
the American producer an advantage
counterbalancing the higher cost o.
production incident to higher wages

THE NEGRO PROBLEM.

New York Sun Correspondence
II the most ordinary justice were
extended to the negro in the South ne
would have no complaint to offer and
no one would complain about him.
There seems to be in the minds or
some people an idea that a negro Is
nor so a criminal or an inferior being,
unworthy of the same opportunity
granted to other folks. but if Almighty
God in His wisdom chose to make
some of His creatures white and
others black. the white ones IN the
South are in no way responsible lot
the conditions of their birth, and II
,hey we're honest with themselves and
their neighbors and imbued with a
true spirit OF Christian charity, they
would thank God for being white. II
that is any advantage, and respect the
feelings and rights OF their fellow
men.
It is useless to deny that the negro
is denied his most elementary rights
in the South, for mountains Of testi'
moiy could be offered to prove the
facts: but the reason for this condl-
ton is not hard to explain. When any
section OF our country can give honor
10 such men as Tom Watson, Cole
Blease, Sydney Cats ana creatures OF
that stripe we must assume that the
majority are to be prtled in their
ignorance, but the intelligent and re-
spectable minority have our sincerest
symDathy.

The concluding paragraph Of the joint
resolution Of both houses Of congress OF
April s. declaring war against Germany
reads: land to bring the conflict to g
successful termination all OF the re
sources Of the country are hereby
pledged by the congress Of the Unitec
States"
Making a pledge Is one thing; redeem
ing II Is another. 1t is all very we'll roi
congress to pledge "all OF the resources
Of the country" but how to get them 10
gether or that part which will be need
cd to win the war. is a problem for the
people themselves to solve; the great
est task with which they have ever
been confronted. If our government
were an autocracy 1t would not be
nearly so difficult. 1t Is vastly harder
In a democracy than In an autocracy
for the government to initiate and to
90 things done.
AS a nation our business AT present is
war, with no indication that the WORK
will be ended soon. The time TO strlKe
hard is now. The sure way TO shorten
the conflict, TO lessen the misery. Is "a
organize all Of the country's resources
That Is the one big thing-organlza,
ton. We must link ourselves. as Fas'
citizen body. to the federal government
The really effective way TO do this is
to revert to the original New England
town-meeting idea. Despite our COM
plex population we must set back 10
first principles and realize that we are
lust neighbors with a common purpose
and work together like old-fashloned
neighbors for the accomplishment OF
that purpose.
While il is sclC-evident that organiza-
ton Is necessary to defeat the marvel
ously effective bureaucracy OF the CEN
trail powers, the American nation must
and can win only II IL remains true 70
It's genius for government and de-
Ponds upon that individual Initiative
which is characteristic Of Americans.
In view Of the numerous societies
formed for various war purposes you
might think that We are already organ

that we arc ovcr-organizcd. for In their

societies often work At cross purposes

A DANGEROUS CANDIDATE

Tammany has selected as its candi

pected Of having pro German sym
path1es. At least he Is q man who
seems to be afraid Of giving q clean
cut expression Of his views Of Amer
fca's participation In the war. When
Questioned about his position he re-
piled: Il would be ashamed to make
political capital out Of my loyalty; but
Il any man questions it he will not
md It q healthy pastime. do not
want the support Of any man who
does not hold the interest Of America
TO be the supreme consideration. u
These glittering generalities may sat
1sty some Of the unthinking, but they
cannot fool those who want an IN
equivocal declaration. The Tammany
candidate obviously is looking to the
support Of the foreign born citizens
Of New York, which will assist him to
overcome the detection In Tammany
against his nomination
Mayor Mitchell has not only given
New York the best administration
that It has had In recent years. but he
has been an unqualified supporter Of
the American cause In this war, and
has also provoked the bitter enmity
Boss Murphy. The last accom-
5lishment Of itself Is enough to com
ymend him to the decent, honest citi'
! senship OF New York. The Republi'
ean strength in the city would be

and the menace Of the success Of the
Tammany creature is, or ought to be
enough to rally all loyal Republicans

A MISLEADING STATEMENT

It is intimated that Secretary Nc.
Adoo Is using the columns OF the
Official Bulletin, the organ Of the
Committee OF Public Information, for
the exploitation Of his candidacy for
the Presidential nomination. Whether
or not that Is true, there can be no
question that he uses it in misleading
il not questionable advertising OF
Treasury loans. as instance this state.
ment which appeared in the Bulletin
recently:
Tho American people are not asked
to give anything to their government
but merely to invest small percentage
Of the annual increment Of wealth In
this country and take in return from
their government the strongest security
on the face Of Gods earth"
Congress Is now trying to devise a
revenue bill which will raise more
than $4,000, 100000 next year, or about
$50 per capita. or 800 from the head
of every family, on an average. Are
not the American people asked to give
that much to their government next
year? But Mr.. McAdoo is equally
lacking in frankness when he assumes
that II bonds are sold the people are
not asked to give anything to their
government in that transaction. A
bond Is nothing more than an obliga
ton to pay a debt. II we sell SIS, 900,
100000 worth OF bonds the people
must eventually pay the debt. both
principal and interest.
Mr. McAdoo's statement is not
harmlessly inaccurate and misleading
it is evil In It's effects. 1t assumes
that money raised by sale OF bonds Is
not taken from the people. and car
ries the inference that there Is, there
fore, no harm In spending that money
freely, lavishly, wastefully. And. in
deed, the administration seems to be
proceeding upon that theory. II ever
objects to the appointment OF a joint
| bipartisan committee Of Congress or
war expenditures. Mr.. McAdoo's state
ment Is false-either ignorantly OF
maliciously false. II left undisputet
It Is certain to mislead the people tt
their injury. In the prosecution o.
this war tho American people are
willing to, make all necessary sacri
tices Of men and toll and money. bu
there is nothing gained by telllut
them that they are not asked to give
anything to their government.
