FEDERAL COURTS FOR LYNcHERs
(Flori!s Times-Unior J


The Times Union is an extreme advocate of
states rights and "a great sticker for the obser5-
ance of the letter as we'll as of the spirit of the
constitution, but we regret to see southern con-
gressmen placing themselves in the apparent at
ttude of defending lynch law. We do not think
that the right to have prisoners lynched is
OF those reserved for the states by the constitu-
ton. We would like to see the states break up
lynch law, and they have done much to accom-
plish this. Lynchngs not as frequent as
they WERE but they continue, and not always
they inflicted for the crime they are sup
to be intended to suppress.
1t is not true that lynchngs have peen de-
creased because of the punishment of members
of the mob. Such punishments have been so rare
as to be almost unknown. If the states will not
punish lynchers, we would be glad to see the
federal government take the matter in hand.
This bill is not aimed especially at the south.
True, more negroes are lynched in the south
than in other parts of the country, but we doubt
whether more are lynched in this section than
elsewhere in proportion to negro population Chi
nese and Japanese are lynched on the Pacific
coast. The law would stop this nearly it
would stop ynchings in the south. Lynch law
should be stamped out, and if the federal gov
eminent can stamp it more efficiently than
the state governments can, we say by all means
let Uncle Sam take a hand.
Men charged with lynching would be tried by
practically the same jurors as would try them
in state courts, the main difference being that
in case they would be tried under federal
authority, and in the other under state authority.
Until the states convict more lynchers than they
do, why not let the federal government see what
it can do?
The fine on the county in which lynching
occurs is perfectly proper 1t has been pro-
posed in a number of southern states and adopt
ed in at least one. The counties enforce the
laws. Grimes tried in the counties in which
they are committed, and if a county does not
keep down violations it's people are responsible
for the officers who enforce the laws If county
fails to suppress lawlessness it should pay for it.
If the bill before congress is enacted the
charges will be tried in the state in which the
crimes were perpetrated. but not necessarily in
the counties. This would take from a lawless
county the ability to protect crime.

CHASING THE RETAILER

Attorney General Daughertys announced IN
tentoh of making a drive on retailers for the pur
pose Of reducing prices will be applauded loudest
by those who know the least about the retail bust
ness.

than was evidenced in the war ,ime food admins
tration, the result can be nothing better than an
other farce The trouble is. the retailer is the vic
time of system rather than a deliberate prohieer
His policy is controlled by overhead conditions.
This is especially true in the distribution of
foodstufs. where competition is so keen and con-
tnuous to force down net profits to the absolute
minimum The retailer is up against conditions
which leave him practically helpless To begin

two and half times IS much fer the gasoline for
his delivery truck Moeoyer the wholesale market
is so uncertain that he can not afford 10 take the
risk of buying in quantities. Unless he Is a very
large dealer, he can buy only for immediate needs
and that means that lie must pay the maximum
price. He has no protection against declining
prices, some of which have dropped fifty per cent
in s months He must make enough to meet all
these expenses and take care Of the inevitable risks
or go out of business
Of course one of the results of tbs state Of al
fairs is an occasional opportunity 10 soak the
buyer" which is naturally resented, while no ac-
count is taken of the occasions when he is forced
to soak himself to get out of tight place.
If MIR. Daugherty's Investigations should take
the course of examining the conditions upon
which the retail trade depends they might do
good; and if those conditions could be equalized,
stabilized and placed upon Just basis, the long
est possible step toward normal prices would be
taken. But there is absolutely nothing to be hoped
from the familiar practice of making sblneEunfor-
tunate and uninAuential dealer the goat, -. as was
done so frequently While the nalom was Hooverz-

brute stale Everything that ennobles the human
race IS banished when war is declared. Wild crea-
lures, bent ony upon slaughter, inspired only by
a grand passion for killing, pervcrt the knowledge
acquired in rational times to the uses of destruc-
ton.
So far as the specific charges involved in the
Watson investigation are concerned, they are i'm
material. he big point is that they are in char
acter. They might have happened, because war
Is accompanied by the spirit which makes every
conceivable crime a possibility. The genuine pa

ing any particular petty officer for any particular
murder, but he is fighting an institution which en-
braces every evil known to man or devil

extent they awaken in the minds of the, as vet
unawakened people, new conception of wars

the Fictitious glory with which the public is ac-
customed to clohe the military chieftain.
Probably the most encouraging of all the signs
of the time is the fact that though we have
emerged triumphant from the greatest struggle in
which we ever took part we have no national
military hero While The spirit of war is far
from being dead, it has never been weaker in
America, and the longing for peace-not the peace
OF the conqueror-not the fretfuI truce which the
alliance of military powers is able to command
while whetting their beaks for more sIaughter-but
a genuine peace, founded upon mutual confidence
