Hurtful Exaggeration.

The editorial articles Of the New
York World about the white and
black crimes against negroes in Jas
per county, Georgia, repeatedly en-
phasize the conviction of Williams
as though it were the first in the
South Of white man for the murder
of negro. Of course that is not
true. 1t is wholly shameful and un-
fair to the South to say that whites
may kill negroes without mourning
punishment or danger in the courts,
however it is true that these punish
ments have not been so frequent as
they ought to have been.
More than once in South Carolina
white sheriffs and other officers
have lost their lives or shed their
blood, in recent years, in defense of
black prisoners in their custody.
Cases of sending white men to the
penitentiary for the Staying of ne
groes have not been numerous rela-
lively but they could be counted by
the dozens were the records of the
courts searched. Nor els it true by
any means that negroes who kill
white men are invariably convicted
and executed in their state. In the
courts of South Carolina, at least,
it seldom happens that any accused
negro receives less than justice.
Ground is not lacking upon which
severe, indictment can be brought
by the northern press against lynch
ings and against the tenderness too
often exhibited by white juries to-
ward white offenders and that is the
greater reason why such a newspa-
pc ras The World should beware of
exaggerating it. 1t is this spirit of
unfairness born in ignorance in the
North that arouses sympathy for the
ruffian element in the South and en-
barasses the efforts of Southern
agencies to establish law and justice
without race discrimination.
| The crimes in Jasper county were
not essentially racial. Williams
would have been scarcely less cruel
to white laborers, brought from con-
vict stockades, to his plantation and
his black overseer would have been
his servant in depressing them. Be.
cause Williams is not to be hanged
as a result of this first trial The
World scarcely conceals a curl OF
derisiveness at Georgia JUSTICE" but
greater crimes costing many more
lives have lately gone unpunished in
New York City and their perpetra.
tors have been not less Representative

than the white man and the black
man are representative, of the state

Holy Matrimony.

! Organized women of the country are
giving much thought to the ever in
creasing divorce problem. Not that
divorce is always a bad thing. 1t is
sometimes the case when it is more
cruel and worse for society, for two
people to live together than to live
apart, but it has come to the point
where it is almost as common to hear
of divorce as it is a marriage.
This state of affairs cannot go on, if
we would not strike at the root of civ
ilization itself, but just where, and
now. to amend the laws in regard to
divorce is another question.
There are many contributing causes
to the increasing number of divorces,
but one of the most important of these
is the carelessness with which people
enter into the marriage relation,
"Holy matrimony" to vast majority
of people has come to have very little
meaning. Because it can be broken
easily, perhaps, many women and men
enter the holy estate with the idea that
they can quit ii they don't like it.
Another thing that makes it more
common is the tolerance of divorce by
society. A divorce used to be ques-
toned, if not ostracized by the more
conservative class. Now, it is not un-
common to find "grass widow" or
widower the leader of the socially
elect.
Whether this swing of the pendulum
from the extreme of puritanical society
to the other, equally as. extreme, toler-
ance is best for the race is matter of
different opinion, but certainly there
should be some effort made to bring US
to the realization of the sacredness of
matrimony.
Girls and boys are not always taught,
either by precept or example. that
marriage is give-and-take PROPOSE
ton, and when the life partner fails to
measure up to some cherished ideal
there instantly comes into the mind the
thought of divorce, whereas. if there
were many almost insurmountable OBJ
stacles to divorce, they would proba-
bly, set their minds to the problem of
adjustment. Some of the illusions and
estate moments of the honeymoon pc
riod do not last, but once let man
and woman make up their minds that
marriage is for better or worse, they
will quickly begin to make concessions.
The sacrifice of the individual, is nee
essary, to the welfare of the whole is
perhaps too fine a point in ethics to
make a very strong appeal to the
masses, but if there were more empba-
sis placed upon this phase of the prob
lem it might do some good. Augusta
Chronicle.

ARMY DESIGNS NEW ENGINE.

The engineering division of the
army air service at McCook field
Washington, las completed pre-
liminary designs of a 1,000-horse-
power, 18-cylinder engine The pre-
liminary work indicates that such
an engine can be constructed on
conservative lines and may be ex-
pected to give an excellent power,
at the same time maintaining a con-
servative loading Of all vital parts.
This is said by experts to insure
great reliability and long life.
The design is being further de-
yeloped on the basis of 1000 horse
power at l 400 revolutions per min
ute direct drive, this speed insuring
steadiness and being favorable to a
high propeller efficiency. One cylin-
der of the proposed design has been
constructed and tested with salts

FIJI ISLANDERS PI0Us RACE


The FIJI islands, to the occi-

cruelty, writer in Asia states. 1t
is true that the Fijians we're once
among the fiercest of the islanders.
They were the greediest of canni-
balls, and practiced cruelties that
made cannibalism sink into insig-
nifcance. Yet cruelty for the Fiji
ans was largely a matter Of habit.
Even in the days of savagery, they
possessed the qualities that make
them now model citizens.
Most of the Fijians are Wesleyan
Methodists. Nearly every village
has its meeting house to which the
Fijians are called to worship by the
big, musical drums that less than a
century ago announced cannibal
feasts. In connection with each

Then George Shaner took issue

can't flap his wings" he said; ''but
he has to stretch his neck to crow.
