FEDERAL COURTS FOR LYNCH
EIlS.

The Times Union is an extreme
advocate of states rights, and a
great sticker for the observance oil
the letter as well as Of the spirit oil
the constitution. but we regret tc
see Southern congressman placing
themselves in the apparent attidue
of defending lynch law. We do mol
thiak that the right to have pris-
oners lynched is one of those re-
served for the states by the con-
stitution. We would like to see the
states break up lynch law, and they
have done much to accomplish this
Lynchings are not as frequent as
they were, but they continue, and
not always are they inflicted for
the one crime they are supposed 10
be intended to suppress.
II is not true that lynchers have
been decreased because of the pun
ishment of members Of the mob
Such punishments have been Sc
rare as to be almost unknown. IL
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 pro-
portion to Negro population
Chimes and Japanese are lynched
on the Pacific coast. The law would
stop this as nearly as 1t would stop
lynchings in the South. Lynch law
should be stamped out, and If the
federal government can stamp 1t out
more efficiently than the state gov
ernments can, we say by all means
let Uncle Sam take 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 one case they would be tried
under federal authority, and in the
other under state AUTHORITY. I'm
til the states convict more lynch
ers than they do why not let thu

Crowther of the Arch Street Methodist
Episcopal Church, Philadelphia, would
be invited to come to this city and
place in affidavit form his charges of
the booze which he saw at the dinner
OF the Brooklyn Riding and Driving
Club. The dinner was at the Mon
tauk Club and the Philadelphia cler-
gyman had been invited to make a
speech. He left without making It,.
He had a seat alongside Federal
Judge Martin T. Manton.

Crowther or hisS opinions"
DIR. Crowther in Philadelphia wrote
to Frank BornlL treasurer OF the
Driving Club, and said his leaving
without making a speech was due to
the amount of bt,oze he saw con-
sumed. He also is reported to have
made the same sta tement to Phila-
delphia reporters.
DIR. Crowther said he had accepted
the invitation to speak In the beiief
he would have pleasant evening
The first thing he saw after checking
his coat and hat, he sah, were COCK
tails. At least, he saw waters pass
ing something around and was told
they were cocktails.
Soon came the gathe ring in the
banquet room and as Dr.. Crowther
took his seat at the speakers table
he spied ''a juggy-looking bottle OF
Scotch" in front Of him. A similar
''juggy look' was on each table as
far as his eye could reach. At each
table sat eight persons. Three times

said, were throwing rolls across the

Two days later he received a check

turned the check with this letter;
"Your letter of the 26th inclosing

Under the circumstances which
were disclosed at the banquet II
proved utterly inopportune to discuss
any subject that would have been out
of harmony with the feast of Bel
shazzar. Nor could l, as a guest and
a gentleman, make reference to the
scene, although some had for the
time being forgotten the standards
which usually characterize gentle
men.
Hence there was nothing left for
me to do but to quietly withdraw and.
send my regrets to the toastmaster.

perience in twenty years Of public
life in America"
