the outgrowth of early days when the

law and then would not accept enough
law. Mob violence is hard TO explain.
Men who would not do a thing individ-

Prosecution Only Cure.

The sure antidote for mob law is a
vigorous prosecution of everybody re-
sponsible for rioting. In 1917 there
were similar riots in East ST. Louis.
When it was over not man, black or
white, was in Jail, yet a vigorous prose
cution sent sixty-one to the penitentiary
or jail, and there has been no recurrence
of race rioting there.
"There is nothing new in race pref
udice. There has been prejudice be-
tween all races and the color of the Ne
gro IS skin makes him an easy mark in
these outbreaks.
1.-The war apparently awakened a
disregard for civil law and order. Men
have become dissatisfied and life is be
ing held cheaply.
"There is more than a suspicion in
the assertion that white men in Chi
cago have contributed financially to de-
stroy the homes of Negries. In Illinois
the Fourteenth Amendment is going to
be recognized. The Negro is no longer
a slave and is now an industrial factor
and common sense must be used in deal
ing with him. .
