course, not well founded because lynching is the
reverse of law. Law is the product of civilization
Lynching is moi even anarchistc, for anarchy has a
philosophy back of il Lynchng has no processes
Of reason behind it. 1t is simply the letting loose
Of the instinct Of revenge. Mob passion, not the
passion for justice, prevails in lynching
Men arc entitled not to be deprived Of life, liberty
or property without due process of law. Due pro
cess of law regards the criminal as an offender
against itself Whoever usurps the right to
denim and punish is likewise an offender against
due process of law. That one himself when charg-
ed with crime expects the law to grant him fair
trial. He cannot therefore, deny the same right
to Others however gross their ofenses against order
and decency, without convicting himself Of hypoc-
rsy.
Lynching has been a stain upon our national
honor Because Of it other nations have pointed
at Us the finger of scorn. There is too much dis
respect for law in our country. Some people con
fuse lawle7sness and license with freedom.
Mob violence Of whatever kind, whether it results
in killing or some form Of organized persecution, is
akin to Iynching. All are alike against law and
subycrsiyc Of law. Law protects as well as pun
ishes and those who undertake private Justice in
disregard of law break down its protecting strength
for themselves and all other individuals The cure
for lynchng is widespread realization that law is
the guardian Of the liberty Of the individual Mil

THE DOMINANT WHITE

God gave you power to build and help and lift;
But you proved prone to prosecute and Stay
And from the high and noble course to drift
Into the darkness from the light Of day.
He gave YOU law and order strength Of will
The lesser peoples Of the world to lead;
You chose to break and crush them through life's
mill
But for your earthly gains to make them bleed:
lrca,,5e you've proved unworthy of your trust
cod Tie shall humble you down to the dust.
You have BETRAYED The black, maligned the yellow;
Bat what else could we hope of YOU who set
The hand even Of your own against his fellow;
70 stem the dire tide that threatens yet!
You called upon the name Of your false god
lie asL our wounded flesh with knotted cords
And tamplc US into the blood stained sod,
And justified your deed, with sPocious words
Oh you have proved unworthy Of your trust,
And Cod shall humble YOU down to the dust
The pain you gave us nothing assuagc,
Who bybridizcd proud and yirilc race,
Bequeathed to it a bastard heritage
And made the black ashamed to see his face.
You ruined him put doubt INTO his heart
You SET a sword between HIM and bis kin
And preached to HIM with simple living art
About thc higher worth Of your white skin
On White MAN. You have trAcd with Your rust
And Cod shall humble YOU down 10 The dust.

With swift, electric touches Mr.. Wallis
moves up the ages to this very extraor-
binary year 1919. There is a fascinating
chapter Of the messianic movement among
The american negroes. The dream Of the

Wilson Wallis's Panorama of Messiahs

And Tolstoy himself. as late as 1912, pro-
claimed the coming of great figure out
of the North who would reorganize the
world when war and funine and stupidity
had done their work
Man is a mystical animal. And it IS
this that constitutes not his foOlishneSs
but his sublrmity. 1t separates him conf
plctcly from the rest of organic nature.
The great artist is the avatar of mans
longing for beautiful mirrors. The reliS-
ious avatar is his longing for justice.
They are the final and supreme critics of
reality and life.

and thinker. It is condensed Talmud
of mystical anecdote and the legends that
make man mentally free.
Mr. Wallis has ransacked all libraries
and books for this remarkable study. 1t
is the most comprehensive description yet
given of the mcssiahs of various peoples,
civilized and primitive, and their roles
in social, religious and political life. The
ologians," says Mr.. Wallis, "may retain
their peculiar right to Judge of the sources
which only such thorough scholarship as
they possess is able TO interpret conf
IDENTIFY. But they can no longer claim
that the Interpretation of the meaning of
the facts which they addure belongs ex-
clusivey to thcm-if, indeed, they have
ever made such claim. The messianic
faiths which they present appear in Juda-
ism, but they are not its peculiar posses
sion. Rather do they belong to humanity.
They are a phase of human life which
has its parallel in many widely separated
and historically unrelated regions of the
globe; they constitute one chapter in the
exalting and often mistaken faith Of man
kind, their complement being found IN
Northumberland, in Buddhism and in the
cruder cultures which pertain TO sayagery.
The light of universally must play upon
them in order that we may ascertain
wherein they are the outcome of the
Semitic and wherein they share in larger
human brotherhood. In no other way can
they be properly evolved
1t is in this critical spirit that Mr.. Wal
lis has approached his great theme. A
comparative study of mesSiahs and mes
sianie hopes has led him to a beautiful ex-
position, in his chapter entitled An IN
terpretdtion Of Messianic Movements, of
the psychological bases of the persistent
proclamation of "Glad Tidings."
"Why is it," he asks, that rare souls
who have lived in dark and stagnant times
have inculcated a mcssianie hopef Is it
because they were rare souls or because
the times were dark and stagnantf Only
a rare soul is capable Of instillins the
idea and only dark and stagnant times
supply the need of it. There must be
savior to proclaim salvation; there must
also be people willing to be saved. The
whole phenomenon is an example of
struggle for survival"
There, too, is the ecopomic factor.
Drought, famine and poverty generate the
hope Of messiah. There is always q
Moses bel nd, or in the heart of, every
great racial catastrophe. 1t is the reaction
from the empty stomach and the empty
pocket and the knout. There are poor peas
ants in France who to this very day cherish
the dream of the reincarnation of Napol-
con, who will come to redress their ills. 1.-The
French who were murdered in the Sieilian
Vespers at Palermo still slumber till the

~ HERE is no romance like the TO
i nance of Hope. There is nothing
more gorgeous than the drama of mans
beliefs. There is nothing more tragic
than his ineradicable smile before the
sombrc realities of life 1t is for this rea-
son that Cervantes' Don QuirOte is the
greatest story ever told.
Mans search magnificent as II. G.
Wells would say, is the search for
prophets and messiahs. Man does not
live by bread alone. His soul must be
alimentcd as well rs his body. Without
vision the people perish. And visions are
most poignant and lavish and hallucinat-
ing when the spirit is hungry. lnterpre-
tiers, masters, saviors are sought In all
ages, by all peoples. The great individual,
who comes with radiant hope or a pana-
cca for, earthly ills, is the amalgam OF
millions of individual longings.
To-day man is in the messianic mood.
He is on tiptoe. He is looking for a
new IluSloIi, 81 IitW NloioiiJ " H'" pun
finder. Not that life to-day is any bet
Ger or any worse than it ever was. But
mans sensibilities have grown more eX-
O,lisite and more refined. He has been
Jared out Of his orbit. Ills mental and
emotional antennB have multiplied with
the growing completely of life and the
revelations of the Great War. His nerves
lie completely exposed to the external
world. He is all brain and nerve and
he feels nuanccs of PAIN and pleasure he
never felt before. His ancient dreams
and hopes lie in ruins. In a word, he is
looking for a messiah He stands on the
bank of the River of Time waiting for
golden PROV TO swing around the bend, or
a great flash of light on the horizon. He
does not expect miracle, but fact.
Comes at this moment, then, book
from the press of Richard Badger of Bos-
ton, MeSSiahs: Christian and Pagan, by
Wilson D. Wallis. 1t is book in his
sWorld Worship Series" 1t is a book
more fascinating than any novel we have
ever read. 1t is n romance of the soul OF
man from the earliest myth making times
to Tolstoy and Woodrow Wilson. 1t is a
fairy story Of our profoundest beliefs. 1t
is a psychological exposition of Expect
ancy. 1t is hard headed drama of all the

Robert l.. Reeves, the "Y" secre-
tary, was introduced and explained
the salesmanship course which has
been added to the "Y" night school
this year, urging every member OF
the club to take it if possible. He
invited the entire club to come to
the opening of the night school
which is to take place next Thurs
day. DR.. J. George Becht added a
few words commencing the school
and it's possibilities.
Mr.. Neefe then introduced eX-
Mayor Bowman, admiral of the Har-
risburg Navy, who, in a few words,
invited the Kiwanis Club to the BAN
quet to be held by the Greater Har-
risburg Navy at the Penn-Harris
next Thursday evening. The guest
of the evening will be Warren H,
Manning, landscape architect, who
will explain the idea of develop
ment to be worked out by the Navy.
Mr.. Bowman briefly outlined the his
tory of the Navy.
Supports Bathing Beach
Mr.. Stackpole spoke of the future
tnaJ the Navy mas In f1dTTlSDuIS ~
and the possibilities of the river
basin. He said that there was no
reason in the world why Harrisburg,
with all the energy and life it has
shown in other developmen of the
city, should not concentrate on the
river basin and make it nationally
known.
The prospect of municipal bath
houses was gone into by Mr.. Stack
pole, who declared that they were
an absolute necessity for the city
and urged that everyone give the
loan for that purpose their hearty
support at the polls in November.
The people are too prone to forget,
while voting in the cold weather,
he said, that a bathhouse develop
ment is an essential to their COM
fort during the summer.
Speaking of the unrest and un-
certainty of the times, Mr.. Stack
pole said that matters such as these
are necessary to help bring the peo-
pie back to their pre-war contented
and happy state, beside providing Il
place for meeting and knowing each
other.
