' Gives Rome Gcod Advice to the Feo a pie About a Certain Class of Criminals. * The following la an extract from t President Itsosovolt's mas^iigG: * In connection with the de/ays of 1 tbo law, I call your attention and the attention of the nation to the pravalonce of ciioue amoug us, and above ' all to the epidemic of lyr.calng and 8 mob vlolcnse thai springs up, now >u ' one part of our country, now in an j other. Eicaaictloo, North, South. East or West, has its own 'faults; no r tcct'on can with wisdom spend Its j time Jeering at the faults of another st otion it should be busy trying to * amend Us own shortcomings. To J deal with the crime or corruption it 1 Is necessary to have an awakened pub I lie conscience, and to supplen.eutthU by % batever legislation will add speed \ and certainty in the execution of the law When we deal with lycchlDg even more Is ncoets&ry. A gieat many white men are lynched, but the crime peculiarly frequent in re < spoct to black men. The greatest txlstiPg cause of lynohlng is the perpetration, especially by black men, of the hideous crime of rape?the most ( abominable In all the category of crimes, even worse than murder. * M >bs frequently avenge the commls- i sion of this crlmo by tbemselvis tor ; tuvini* f/y t.h tlin nn n i ?v> \ VUi Mif, vv U??uti PliV UUIJU \J /LMJ.UU 1 VUIUI^ j It; thus avenging In bestial faction a bestial cleocl and reducing themselves to a level with tbe criminal. < Lawlessness grows by what It foods j upon; and when mobs begin to lynch , for rape they speedily extend the sphere of their operations and lynch for many klnd3 of crimes, so that two 1 tnlrds of the lynuhiogs are not fcr rape at all; wkiie % considerable pro portion of the individuals lynched are , Innocent of all crime. Governor C& dler, of Georgia, sta'cd on one ic caolou some yrarsago. "lorn say of a verity that 1 have, within the last month saved the lives of half a dczsn innocent negroes who were pursued by the moo, and brought them to trial In a oourt of law In which they were acquitted." As Bishop Galloway, of Mississippi, has finely said: "When the rule of a mob oot&lns, that whioh distinguishes a high clvl llztMon is surrendered. The mob which lynches a negro oharged with rape will In a little while lynch & white man suspected of crime. Every Christian patriot in America needs to lift ills voice in loud and eternal pro against the mob spirit that is threatening the Integrity of this Rspublic," 1,Governor JeHcs, of Alabama, has recently spoken as follows: "The lynching of any person for whatever crime Is inexcusable anywhere?it Is a deliunoe of orderly government; but the killing of lnnoocnt neople un der any provocation is infinitely more horrible; and yet innocent people are Ukbly to die when a meb's terrible lust lo once aroused. The lesson Is this: No good clt'.zm can afford to count2nanc3 a defiance of tho statute* nn muf t.Br wbnt. dm rrnonratlnn TUia Innocent frcq mntly suffer, and it Is my observation, more U3uallv suffer tnan the guilty. The white peuple of the South Indict the whole colored race on the ground that even the better elements loot! no assistance what ever in ferreting out criminals of their pwn color. The reapeotai le colorod people must loam not to harbor their criminals, but to assist the ctll oers in bringing them to Justice. This is the larger crime, end it pro vokes such atrocious offenses as the one at Atlanta. The two races can never get on until there is an under standing on the part of both to mskt common o.'.use with the law-abiding against criminals of any oolor." Moreover, when sny crime ocm mltted by a member of one race against a member of another race is avenged in such fashion that it seems au If not the individual criminal, but the whole race, is attacked, the result is to exasperate to the highest degree raoe feeling. There is but one safe rule in dealing with blaok men aa with white men; it Is the same rule that must be applied in dealing with rich men and poor men; that is, to treat each man, whatever his color, bis creed, or his social position, frith even-handed justice on his re&i ( worth as a man. White people owe it quite as much to themselves as to 1 the colored aco to treat well the colored man who shows by his life thai he deserves such treatment; for it is surely the highest wisdom to eno ur r age in theoolored race all those indl ( viduals who are honest, industrious, J law abiding, and who thereforo make fc'cod and safe neighbors and citizens ' Reward or punish the Individual on h id ?- ?.

Moreiver, in my judgment, tbe orlme of ape should always be punished with ( leath, as is the esse with murder; psault with latent to commit raps hould be made a capital crime, at cast in the dhcretlon of tbe ccnrt md provision should be mado by * which the punishment may follow lm- i cedlately upon the heels of the of- t ens^; while tbe trie1 should be so , i)dQuoted that the victim need not e wantonly shamed while given ten- 1 imor.y, z* fchLt! the least possible c jublfclty shall bo given to the details. ] Tbe members of the white raoc on he other hand should understand i hat every lynching repres nts by Just $ ;o much & loosening of the bands of c ilvfhzaM njthatth* spirit of lynohng Inevitable throws into prominence s n tbe community all the foul and t ivll creatures who dwell therein.
