OUR OWN BARBARiTY

From the recent conference that was held for the purpose of opening stronger campaign. than ever against the practice of lynching in this country, it is to be sincerely hoped that certain forces will be sci in motion that will bring about re- alization of the enormity of such crime and send home to those whc participate or give passive encour- agement to such acts the necessity of uniting their efforts in bringins about it's abolition.
 But if there was reason to bring about increased effort in this direc- ton as the result of the horrible prac- tices that have been resorted to in the past it is evident that there is stil plenty of evidence furnished almost from day 10 day to give it such atten- ton as never existed before.
 It is certainly apparent from the reports of the way in which people are taken out and strung up to trees anG burned at the stake that all the bar. parity is not confined to Germany ol other sections of Europe. to Turkey ol darkest Africa. We have conditions right here at home which need imme. diate and persistent attention. There is need of an aroused public senti- ment which will insist upon the re-
