Lynchine and How it Gould be
Ended.

Editor News:
Sixteen men have been convict
ed and sentenced at Winston
Salem, North Carolina, for an at
tempt to!lynch a negro. Moth
ing is lsmore certain than that
the.custom' of lynching is to pass
away. Itssssis not so widespread
by any means as is indicated by
news items from time to time,
but if there were only one lynch
ing year it would still remain
an evil of the first class.
The clumsiness of American
court. procedure, the unconstitu-
tionality of most action intended
to prevent friction between races
and to encourage the develop
ment of racial life among the
negroes, both contribute to it
The illumination of negro hat
ers and of those who associate
themselves for the purpose of
exciting the negroes contribute
to itsin an equal degree.
Nothing would hasten the day
when lynching shall cease more
than an entire separation of the
question from other questions.
The matter of separate coaches
on railway trains, Of residential
segregation, of the right of fran
chise, and all other questions of
right or privilege or expediency
should be entirely ASSOCIATED
from the question of lynching,
which would then be attacked as
an evil by every section of the
country and would not survive a
year.
1t is an encouraging fact that
500 out of every 1000 white men

in communities where there are
many negroes live from youth
till death without ever seeing so
much as a hint of racial hatred
or strife. 1t is remarkable that
IN the main relations of the two
races are so near to affection.
In the last analysis, white men
are responsible for all of the ma
chinery of law and the courts.
theoretically and practically, it
is possible for the white men of
the country to deal with court
procedure and with the crimes
which provoke lynching by their
horror or by suggested threat of
horrible things. For them to
abandon their own laws, their
own courts, their own officers, is
to indict and insult themselves.
Lynching brutalizes and de-
moralizes and is essentially cow
ardly. 1t should and must stop.
1T can and will be stopped in the
South by the South, in the West
West by the West, in the North
by the North-there is the con-
viction and the character in
every section to do it, and it is
