FOR LAW AND ORDER.

If we can not make the U. S.
safe for democracy, how can we hope
to do this for Europe, or for Asia, OF
for Africa? The business of liberation
for Afric? The business of Liberation
of rescuing people from oppression,
like charity, should begin at home.
| am thinking of the riots, lyn-
chings, and kindred outrages that
have followed one another with such
sickening rapidity during the past
few months at Washington, Chicago,
Omaha, Elaine, and elsewhere. Here
is something for which. as citizens,
we are all in some measure respon-
sible, and against which, as good
citizens, we must all fight. What
can be done?
should protest. Especially is this a
time when the white men, of the
South and of the North, should leave
nc one in doubt were they stand:
whether for law and order, for de-
cency and justice and humanity, or
against these fundamentals of civili-
zation. The kind of people who
has red blood in his veins and
courage in his soul. We applaud
the occasional sheriff who defies the
members of the mob-are we sure
that we should be equally brave?
On the other hand, let me say, just
as frankly and emphatically, that
the Colored people of this country
owe to themselves and TO their
friends to make it indisputably
plain-as they usually do-that they
are not countenancing or execusing
any deeds of wanton violence or
criminal reprisal by members OF
their own race. Self-defence is one
thing; murder is another. The law
less man. whether white or black.
is the enemy Of society. He must
he restrained and sternly punished
for the sake Of the whole com
munity.
