The letter was written in a soraw

uneducated white person, judging b>
the formation of ti e lettere. Mr.
Langston remained in the Pennsy lva

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. *

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

if we substitute for this just rule th(
3 habit of treating all the members of
t the race, good and bad, alike. Then
Is no question of "sooial equality"
or "negro domination" involved; onlj
the q lestion of relentlessly punishing
3 bid men, and of scouring to the good
3 man the right to hiB iife, his liberty,

his uwn qualities cf heart, head, and
9 hand enable man to achieve itr
Every colored man should reallz:
s that the worst enemy of his race is
t the negro criminal, and above all the
. negro orimlnal who ocmmlts the
e dreadful orlme of rape; and it should
t be felt as in the highest degree an of7
fense against the whole country, and
r agalnat the ooiored race in particular.
1 for a colored man to fail to help the
- rffloera of the law tu hunting down
with all possible earnestness and s?al
very such Infamous offender. 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
