trouble i>. the courts of justice are not al
ways open. as they should be. and the gov
crnmcnts of the states and nation are neither
ready nor able TO do their duty. They may
be able if SO disposed. but they do not seem
to be ready or willing. A way must be
found to eradicate this odious evil, or our
people will store up days of wrath such as
swept over us in 1861 for the crime of
slavery.

Rurnina Men Alive

~ the Editor of the EUeninD Public Lcdgcr
Sir-I do not find any words in the Eng
lish language to characterize adequately my
ahborreuce of the dastardly crime OF the
burning alive of human beings. thing OF
freoucnt occurrence in the South. The last
ease recently reported was OF returned
soldier from France. and the excuse lor the
infamous crime was that he wore his uni
form longer than certain OF his nelghporS
thought he ought to wear it.
II is believed by some of the people in the
North that the lynchings are for crimes
AGAINST white women. but the torturing and
burning alive are for all kinds OF crimes and
suspicions. and not unlikely sometimes re-
sult from personal enmity. Is this civiiZa-
tiop of which we proudly boast or is il bar
barism: What wild tribes anywhere in the
world would commit savagery worse than
this? ] know Of none.
1t is most gratifying to uole that the
vearly meeting of Friends, held at Fourth
and Arch streets recently, expressed deep
concern upon the subject deeming lynching
IN he a sin and shameful blot on the fair
name of our land. The meeting declared
that it is injustice and barbarty to those
HELPLESS victims, be they innocent or guilty.
and brutalizing and disastrous to those who
ncrpctrate the crimes and to those who
stand to see their fellow beings tortured
and killed.

stimulus of the necessity of raising an army

JUST BOOST

Boost your city, boost your friend;
Boost the lodge that you attend,
Boost the street on which you're
dwelling,
Boost the goods that you are selling.
Boost the people round about you,
They can get along without you;
But success will quicker find them
If they know that you're behind them.
Boost for every forward movement,
Boost for every new improvement,
Boost the man for whom you labor,
Boost the stranger and the neighbor.
Cease to be chronic knocker,
Cease to be a progress blocker,
If you'd make your city better,
Boost it to a final letter,
