kinds of business and avocations the
same as the whites, and in their rela-
tons to the business and political
world they are, before the law, equal
to the whites.
1--WE are here-white and black
Either race Is too numerous to move
away. Humanity revolts with un-
speakable horror from the thought Of
the determination of either-the fact
| of it, the process Of accomplishing it..
We are here. We are living together.
We are obliged to live together. The
great problem for all of US to study is
how We can best do this.
First and foremost in working out
the problem must be the cessation of
lynching. Can anything be said in it's
defense? Yes-just one thing: 1t
teaches a lesson of deepest humility.
1t reveals to US, as if by search-light,
how near human nature is to brute
| nature, how weak is the barrier be-
| tween the two, how the barrier once
| broken down, human nature descends
swiftly beyond the brute to ultimate
depth of fiendishness. 1t gives a hor-
rible warning that we are moving
about, living our lives on thin and
sagging crust of civilization, liable to
crumble at any unusual strain and
| plunge us into unplumbed depths of
degradation. No language is strong
| enough to describe this hideous thing.
And then in language which one
would wish to quote in full, he dwells
upon the horrible details Of lynching,
and follows this with the conclusion:
| IF we are to have the harmony,
the cooperation, the good feeling, the
| friendliness, all of which are in their
| nature attainable, and which are es-
| sential to contentment and prosperity,
necessary step is to put down lynch
ing.
LET the voice of the press, the pull
pit, the public meeting speak out and
cease not against it's futility, it's saw
agery, it's lawlessness, its insolence to
the constituted authorities, it's destruc-

degradation of it's perpetrators.
IF these appeals against it fail, let
the civil authorities honestly and cour-
ageously do their duty. If there is still
failure, then the stern use of the mill
tary arm.'
When the worthy leaders of public
opinion in the South speak thus, we
may we'll hope for suppression of this
awful evil and better day.
