ing statistics are checked. In the
west, most of the victims are
white. In the south, Negroes are
by far the greatest sufferers.
One significant finding blasts
the belief that a mob is mott
waited by chivalry, protecting the
honor of the womanhood of its
community. In 1918, for instance,
it was shown that of total of
sixty-two lynchings, only sixteen
were for criminal assault.
A study by the Inter-Racial Co.
operation commission of mob
murder over a period of nearly a
half century shows that many Of
the victims were innocent of the
offenses for which they died
deaths of horror.
Some were killed as the result
of mistaken identity, others on
unfounded suspicion, some by mob
madness.
There were cases of burnings,
hangings and fatal beatings that
involved crimes no more serious
than hog stealing, creating dis
turbances," quarrel with employ
er," failing to turn out of road"
and mot knowing his place"

can be presented than that for

From Chicago have come other

his partners, and Bob Halpin. Had

Aided by the magic of the tele-
graphic impulse, Decasseres will
yield to his own impulses, standing
before a bar. He will hurl high
ball past his teeth a moment or
two after the state of Utah official
ly puts an end to the eighteenth
amendment.
Il tried" he told the United Press
today, "to be the last man in the
United States to take drink on the
night the Volstead blight came upon
the land. But along about 1890
p. m, I go so busy tanking up that
forgot about my noble aspiration.
I must have tainted. All I remem-
ber is that my elbow was stiff the
next day"
DecaSseres used to make the
rounds with James Gibbon Huneker,
H. L. Mencken, and several others
known for their conviviality. They
frequented all the beSt-known spoJS,
and gained great repute as epicures.
In his resolve to take the first
legal drink Tuesday, Decasseres
sought rapid way of finding out
the moment prohibition actually
achieves extinction. His arrange
ments will be elaborate. The flash
announcing that Utah has formally
voted for repeal will speed over a

O., in 1872. An enraged band of
farmers, led by Thomas B. Doug
las, hanged Alexander Mcleod
and Absalom Kimmel for the as
sault and murder of Mary Secaur,
a child of IA, despite strong indi-
cations that they knew nothing of
the crime.
Years later, Douglas, on his
deathbed in Denver, confessed
that he had slain the child and
had spurred on the mob to turn
suspicion from himself.
DEsPITE the vigorous battle
~ waged by pulpit, press and
legislators, mob violence flames
periodically, rising one year, fall
ing the next, only to rise again.
Hope is stirred that congress will
enact a federal anti-lynching law
when it convenes in January and
thus take a great step toward
eliminating the evil.
Senator Edward P. Costigan of
Colorado is drafting a bill which
he asserts he will introduce on
the first day congress is in ses-
sion, and support has been pledged
by large number of senators.
Under the Constitution the fed
eral government has little power
now to check the barbarouS crime.
Punishment is left almost entirely

to individual states, where peace
officers, fearful of the political
result, usually dodge the issue.
However, when a subject of a
foreign government is lynched by
an American mob, the federal
government is held responsible,
and on several occasions has paid
indemnities to families of victims.
Twice this happened in the case
of Chinese lynched in Wyoming
and California, and twice in cases
of Italians lynched in California
and Louisiana. The indemnity in
all these cases totaled more than a
quarter million dollars.
The greatest number of persons
done to death by mobs in a
single year was 235 in 1892. From
year to year since, there has been
a steady decline in the toll.
But the time is not here for
congratulation. In 1882 there
were ten lynchingS in the United
States. When a mob in San Jose,
Cal, dragged two kidnap-slayers
from Jail and hanged them in a
public park and an enraged
throng seized a Negro in Jail at
St. Joseph, Mo, and hanged and
burned him, the total to date in
1888 mounted to twenty-seven, the
highest mark since 1926, when
there were thirty eight lynchings.
