know it to exist in the hearts of her
great people.
1.-THE name of Abraham Lincoln be-

Nation and to the entire world. In
every land and every cline where
people love human freedom, human
rights and human justice, their hearts

ton of his immortal name"

cally, and would rejoice in any feas-
ible scheme to rid our State of such a
burden"
The speaker insisted that of all
places in this country for the erection
of a monument to Abraham Lincoln,
the most fitting was New Orleans,
where. when a boy, he witnessed the
slaves being put up and sold on the
auction block in the same manner as
beasts of burden.

OTHER EDITORS SAY-THE
. HERALD COMMENTS
THE SOUTH'S NEW SPIRIT

There is a new spirit in the South.
It is spirit of law enforcement. It
BODIES i'll to mobs, even when intent
on lynching prisoner who confesses
himself guilty of heinous murder.
The mob at Tampa, Florida, has
been handled with a grim severity
that should prove a lesson to those
holding the idea, once too prevalent
in the South, that mob is above law
and that the individuals who compose
it are not accountable for it's acts.
It has taken tear bombs and
machine guns, soldier guards shoot
ing to kill and a sheriff protecting his
prisoner from lawless execution at all
hazards, to convince the Tampa mob
that the law is supreme and that JUS
tice is never to be administered by
mob law.
There have been deaths, some of
them of innocent persons, and many
more woundings. But thirty or more
of the mob are in custody and will be
prosecuted. Four mobsters, who were
shunted into the Jail by means of a
battering ram, were at once locked up
in cells.
True, the murderer is white man.
and that makes some difference in the
South. But we should like to believe
that the same defense of his right to
be tried in court for his crime anG
judged by jury of his peers, would
have been made, if his skin had been
black.-Minneapolis Journal.
The Herald doesn't agree with the
Minneapolis Journal about the South's
new spirit, five lynchings in the past
few days show only the "South's Old
Spirit" 1t is nothing unusual for the
governors of southern states to call
out state troops to protect our white
brothers but they rarely ever do the
same when the mob pack is after
black men. When they do make up
their minds to protect our brothers it
is too late. An Investigation follows
and the report reads-"The deceased
met death at the hands Of parties I'M
known" Same old spirit. Not
much new about the south but the
flood.

RETROSPECTION

Do you remember those days long
ago
When you were a bare-footed boy;
When the world was your playground
with never a care,
And your heart knew nothing but
joy?
Have you turned back the pages Of
life's history,
To see yourself as you were then?
Have you given thought of the
vows that you made,
Of the place you would take among
men?
Have those vows been fulfilled, or
were they just idle dreams,
That have vanished away with the
years?
Do your thoughts ever go back to
those days long ago,
And your eyes fill with sad bitter
tears?
