lynching mob that there remains little
that can be said Lynchings will con-
tinue until people learn to control
passion and take the lesson to heart
that violence begets violence and that
a race claiming mental superiority
must learn to govern itself before it
can with justice assert its right to
govern others.
After all that can be advanced in ia
vor of mob law has been said. there re-
mains the fact that no one is better
for the lynchings while two of the
states most representative counties
and the white race as whole is in
calculably injured. But for some rea-
son. a certain element has formed the
opinion that crime by negroes must
be punished by other and equally
violent crimes, and until our people
as a whole get away from this-win
a higher and more reasonable view
point. these things will doubtless go
on. 10 the harm of people and section.
