Reason is beginning to pre vail., Here is a recent editorial from the , Washington Post, one of the most ' conservative as well as one of the d most influential newspapers any where: r "There is cons;.derable hiinin nn ture in this world, and it Wnks, g speaks, and acts th.. s..-e lanr ifnge in % Ohio and in Georgia, in Kan a and t< in Mississippi. Last vednesday, at u Marysville, Ohio, a negro who hId t( assaulted a white woman was only saved from mob violence by the cun- ti ning and the trick of the sheriff, N and on the same day, at Rosedale, a Kan., a negro who had been discov- hi ered concealed uider the bed of a T white woman was actually strung up el by a mob, and would have paid the m penalty with his life if the police had 31 not gone to the rescue and cut him ( down. "Kansas is where they encourage j the negro to vote and resent his at- sj tempts to labor. Mississippi is where they will iot allow thlie negro to vote, m but insist. that he shall work. With t.1 this differellce, Kansas and Mississip- I pi look upon the man and brother pre- s cisely alike. In Kansas, and in Ohio, the negro is a political factor-entire ly so. In Massissippi, and inl South Carolina, the negro is out, of polities -entirely so. o1 " But whet her Nort I or Sout h1, whenl sl a negro aSsIlts a whiite Wo1m1an, the effect on the community is tlie same. is The rage of the people becomes T frenzy, an)d a way would he found to ii, kill him "'though lie were ininiortal, ''si if the mob could lay hands on him at the moment. It is ulseless to speak of the law there and then. Where is the man, North or South, East or A West, who would have his wife or d-aughter detail to the jury the story it of her shame? We can all stand the a toothache with admirable and serene philosophy if it be somebody else's tooth; but the white man does not live, C North or South, who would not soon er lynch a thousand misereants than that his modest daughter should be subjected to the ordeal of telling the story of her shame to a public morbid with vitiated euriosity. "This is all v'ery unfortunate; very wrong, perhaps ; but it. is s.iper- d latively human. It is actually and gravely p)roposedl in one of the states to legalize lynchings. That. only evi dlences the horror of1 the crime for I wh'ichl most lynchings are the penalty. "To be entirely frank about it, thea respect able negroes-and there are thousands and tens af thousands of them--ean (10 much to stop lynch ings by a more vigorous and rigidl ostracism of those of their race gail ty of out rages. Let the negroes themselves make it hot ter for the mon sters who bring~ reproach on the whole race. Thidt. will do more t han all the laws you can shake a stick at to make lynching unfashionable. WVe have not seen a better or clear er or' more rea sonable ait ie|Ie oin t his h subject from anmy source, than this t editorial from the Washington Post. t Andl we inay remark in passing that we have seen similar expressions from (1 a niumber of. Nort hen papers giuring the past few months. It is a pity that some few papiers here in the Sonith Imilisrep resenit t heir own people by(X expresing1 contrary views. TIhe lyncehing (oL negroes for assault ing white( women will never be stop pod( utimtil the assaults are stop ped. The c'ause must be remiloved before the effect cain lie removedl. Let the negroes put aI stop to the assaults, andl then there will be no more' lynchihgs--for assaults or for any other causes.-Anderson Mail. We reprint the above because wve believe it is true. We do not believe in lynching. Lynching for the one crime will lead to lynching for lessern crimes. Of that there can be no qunes tion. IBut so long as negroes assault white wvomen, so long will there be l.ynehings, north or south or' anywhere D else. And when it 'is bi-ought home to in ~ the people who condemn it most, they IH n re but human, and as the Washing- M. 4W t'Post states, lynbbing for this at ' 'c4me in order to. yave the victim the Ti 'Y ~ne of appearing, in a orowded bi a oom to tell of the horible out- Pi ~' 'aq i uperlatively human. a BARTH SPLIT OPEN 'or Twenty Miles and Oow was Swal lowed by Quake. anl Francisco Cor.

The most remarkable phenomenon f the earthquake was reported today rom Bolinas Bay, the flrst inlet ott lie coast north of San Francisco, Ahere the violence of the shock ap ears to hlave been greater than at ny other point. The earth was split pen for 20 miles parallel to the shore ud in places the cleft was several eet wide and apparently hiundreds f feet deep. John i . Orr, a wealthy land owner, as returned to his home in Berke .y from a trip of investigation. He aited upon President Benjamin Ide Iheeler, of tile State University, to ay, suggesting that scientists should e sent at oice to Bolinas Bay. ''So terrible is the sight in that .gion,'' said Orr today, ''that I [ist, be pardoned for declining to ve the details of the destruction rouglit, because I believe the trutlt >ld about the damage there would iduly alarm people and would lielp give a black eye to the State.'' Before making a personal inspec on Oi,r received a let ter from E.
