A SOCIAL NECESSITY. MRS. J. SILONE YATES LECTURES TO THE LADIES COTERIE. A BRIGHT MISSOURI LADY TELLS TOPEKA PEOPLE HOW THE WORK IS PROGRESSING THERE ADVOCATES AN EQUAL STANDARD OF MORAL The Ladies' Coterie celebrated its twelfth anniversary last Friday evening at the residence of Mrs. O. A. Taylor, No. 226 Kansas Avenue. This organization of our Topeka ladies is considered to be made up of some of the most brilliant and intellectual. The few friends to whom the club extended an invitation to be present felt highly honored, realizing that such a celebration was an event of no small importance, and that those present would enjoy "a feast of reason and a flow of soul." This feeling waas greatly augmented by the announcement that Mrs. Josephine Silone Yates of Kansas City, Mo., would lecture to the club and its guests. Mrs. Taylor's pleasant and spacious home needed but little decorations to make it an ideal place for such an occasion. It was 8:20 p. m. when Mrs. J. H. Guy on behalf of the Coterie asked the assemblage to be seated while Miss Cora Merritt rendered a very pleasing selection on the piano. In introducing Mrs. Yates, Mrs. Guy referred to her as an illustration of the beauty and usefulness of educated woman, and demonstrated the ability of the women of our own race. "The Social Necessity of an Equal Standard of Morality for Men and Women," was the subject selected by this very talented lady and we regret very much that we are not prepared to give the entire lecture. Mrs. Yates said in part: "The student of society as it exists today, of social problems and of practical reform measures, in making painstaking investigations of facts presented, finds himself at the end of each analysis face to face with the family and with family life. The well being of the home is the safety of the state; its morality or ethical culture is the executive power of the people; the criminal instincts of the individual perpetuated in the home, is the cancer eating at the very heart of the nations. The trend of morality is an evolutionary process, that determines for individuals, for epochs, for the ages, why certain modes of conduct are beneficial and other to say the least, are detrimental. Standards of morality differentiate with the progress of civilization, but an ideal is necessary to the very existence of morality. Every age and every system of morality sets forth its own ideal as the embodiment of the highest known form of morality; and, thus, we find in the order of human events Confucius, Buddha, Christ. There is an ideal humanity toward which actual humanity is gradually tending and this, of itself, implies moral progress. Men and women, as such, are parts of society. Their services are mutual and indispensable; their claims upon each other are equal and cannot be considered apart from the interdependent relations of the great social compact. Naturally, therefore, prominent among newly considered distinctions of justice and harmony is the social necessity of an equal standard of morality for men and women. Volume upon volume has been written upon the requisites of true and noble motherhood, upon conscious and focal motherhood, and it is well—the world will never have a surplus of such mothers. But, none the less do we need for the creation of an inspired home life, a grand human life, a subline national life, a noble, conscious and ideal fatherhood. The sins of the father, not less than those of the mother, shall be visited upon the children even unto the third and fourth generation. Therefore, the father as well as the mother must worship at the shrine of personal purity, must be free from the slavery of vice, must preserve the fountains of life with an integrity born of virtue. He must exemplify in his own life a character worthy of emulation must relate that he has not done all that is required of him, when he ministers to the physical necessities of his family. The father and mothers, sisters and brothers, together must climb the rugged steep of right conduct bearing aloft an equal standard of justice, purity and of all those things that make for righteousness. The responsibility of society for the prevention of poverty, crime and organicills, for the prevention of physical, mental and moral defects in children, ultimately resolves itself into the same question of a high and equal standard of morality for both. To every child is conceded the inaliensl abl right to be well born—which sim- ply means the right to possess an intelligent father and mother—and to this extent, at least, to be fortified against falling into the ranks of he discourses the pauper the criminal, or degenerate classes. For centuries an idea obtained that to gain the admiration of woman man must plunge into aall sorts of excesses and immoralities, and that as a reward he should receive a spotless maiden for a wife, who would love and adore him in direct proportion to his harvest of wild oats. Apparently men took kindly to this idea and today the world is reaping its harvest of oats—wild oats. Enfrontery has become a synonym for bravery, and license that of liberty. In many otherwise well appointed families, while daughters are carefully reared from babyhood in the path of vulture, the boy, as soon as he leaves the mother's arms, knows nothing of moral restraint or control. Reforms, however, must begin in the home; father and mother must place moral restraints of equal value upon their sons as well as upon their daughters. Homes must be made attractive for boys, as well as for girls. Proper amusements and companionship must be furnished. Homes without pictures, books, amusements or hospitality are such in name only, and become fruitful sources of immorality; while simplicity, beauty, dignity in home life are among the strongest of moral forces." Departing from the text of her lecture, Mrs. Yates spent a few moments discussing the great value of woman's clubs to our people. Especially to the great assistance in developing higher ideas of home life and awakening a right conception of morality. She referred to the remarkable advancement of the Negro woman; a slave forty years ago, who is ittaaay recognized as a strong and powerful element in our national life. The National Association of colored women is a strong organization of Negro women honestly seeking to lift Negro womanhood to a higher level. The various womans clubs of Kansas City, Mo., are laboring for the good of the race. Through the efforts of the colored ladies clubs of Kansas City manual training classes had been placed in every ward school. They were now engaged in developing classes in Domestic Science and in the Kindergarten, and they hoped to have both these departments added to the schools. The clubs also maintain a special committee on wayward girls and they are doing a splendid work. They have a committee on truant children whose duty is to look after recurrent school children and to see that they are properly clothed and in schools. The colored women of Kansas City through their local federation of clubs assist in maintaining a home for the aged and infirm, a hospital and training school for nurses. They are taking hold of the agencies that enter into the foundation of our race's life and are seeking to promote its greatest good. In concluding she said: "The annuals of crime the statistics of disease, the laws of heredity and of environment, the presence of physical, mental and moral deformity in all manner of hideousness and ghastliness; the laxity of marriage and divorce laws—all these and numerous other social conditions of a degrading nature, call in stentorian tones for an ethical code that regardless of sex, shall embody the highest sense of justice for humanity." Following the close of the lecture, anan informal reception was tendered. Music was furnished by Misses Cora Merritt and Miss Alberta Guy. The Ladies Coterie is to be complimented for the years it has lived. A GRAND RECORD. In Oklahoma there are 65,000 colored people, men, women, and children, or 13,000 colored voters from careful complication of statistics there are 7,000 colored men owning farms, when will strike an average at $500 each, which is a very low average, as there are numbers of colored farmers who can cash their farms to-day for $3.00. But placing all at $500 cacb that would make a grand total of at least $5,000,000 owned in farm property by colored men of Oklahoma.—Russels Review. Kansas has produced more cranks, fanatics and d—d fools in the last 50 years than any other state in the Union—John Brown, John J. Ingalls Mrs. Lease, Mrs Nation and her associates, and the sap-headed men who vote for woman suffrage. The St. Louis American Eagle gets off the above tirade on Kansas, without stopping to think that Missouri has never produced the equal of either. The stockholders of the Citizens' Savings bank at Lorsan, O., held their annual meeting last week at the bank's parlors and besides other business transacted, elected D. C.

Resolutions of Censure----A State Organization For Race Protection----Arkansas City adds its name to the list. There will be a notice issued in a few days, calling for a meeting of the best class of Negroes to meet in Topeka about the last of February, for the purpose of taking steps to form a State Organization to get the Negro closer together for mutual protection. The results of the brutal Leavenworth affair seems to have convinced our people of the importance of taking steps to carefully consider all phases of the race problem and the duty the better educated elements owe to the race. There is much in the spirit of the letters received in this office to show that the people mean business. So mote it be. All Charities and Organizations of Negroes, are earnestly requested to correspond with Dr. W. H. Hudson of Atchison, Kansas, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Afro-American League of Kansas, relative to the part they will take in the coming convention. This convention will consider all matters relative to the betterment of the condition of our people in this state. The work of amelivrating our material and moral condition, is deserving of the best energies of our race leaders. TOPEKA'S MEETING A mass meeting of the colored citizens of Topeka called for the purpose of taking action relative to the Alexander lynching at Leavenworth, was held in the hall at 618 Kansas avenue last Thursday night. There were about 150 of the representative men of the race present. A number of speeches were made, an address to the people of Kansas formulated and numerous more or less important resolutions voted down. The meeting was called to order by J. H. Childs who briefly stated the object of the meeting and urge that their action should be marked by moderation. C. O. Smith of Hutchinson was elected chairman and Andrew Weatherby was secretary. The proceedings were not remarkable for their harmony. The wheels of acton were clogged several times, and there were numerous lively discussions of things not important to the meeting. But, on the other hand, there was nothing nuenciariy in its attitude. They asked that the same sort of justice that is given to the white man be meted out to the colored man, and "denounced, deplored and condemned" the Leavenworth affair. W. B. Townsend of Leavenworth made the principal address. Mr. Townsend is the colored lawyer whose attitude toward the affair has made Leavenworth just now not desirable to him as a place of residence. He had the courage to denounce the action of the mob in Leavenworth, and the citizens invited him to leave town. Just now he is sojourning in Topeka while Leavenworth cools off. Mr Townsend is a lawyer and an exceedingly clever speaker. In campaign years he is a Republican spellbinder. He is one of the smartest men of his race in the state. He is not only smart, but he looks smart. His clothes fit him and correct and eloquent english fell from his tongue. He may have given utterance to violent language in Leavenworth, but last night, except in his persecution, he was quite mild. He said he had lived in Leavenworth 42 years and that he had raised a family there. He asked nobody for sympathy, but demanded simpe justice for his race. He said the only charge laid at his door was that he was too good a friend to his race, in that he had asked even and exact justice for it He pictured Leavenworth as a place where reason is, for the time, dethroned—where it is not safe for any black man to talk. He charged that crime was on the increase in Leavenworth among the younger members of his race, and put the responsibility on these saloons. He said that he deplored crime and, therefore, the action of the Leavenworth mob. He contended that nothing had been proven against Alexander, and that the lynchnig was murder, pure and simple. He suggested further, that there was work for missionaries considerably nearer than China, although he named no names. "It is not social equality," said Mr. Townsend, that the negro wants; it is equality before the law. Social equality is the bugaboo of the ignorant, depraved white man. From the intelligent, cultured white men I have nothing o fear, but I want from "poor white trash." The colored race is not a race of cowards. On every battlefield from Gettysburg to San Juan, colored blood has been shed in defense of those sacred institutions, country and home I would lay down my life in defense of any woman, be she white or black ARE THEY COWARDS? Are the Negroes of Leavenworth so cowardly, that they won't call a meeting denouncing the mob and take proper steps to protect their fellowtownsman, W. B. Townsend, from the threats of dire vengeance from that Necley and Everhardy, democratic, hoodlum gang? If you are, let the Negroes of Topeka and other patrons of Kansas know, and it will be done quick. If the Negroes of Kansas let this brutal affray go unnoticed, Kansas will be like Georgia and Texas in a few years. Let those Negroes in Leavenworth who are afraid of their jobs, keep their mouths shut and be a lick spittle for those demons; for there are some brave men in that city who will do their duty. The colored man must assert his manhood. It is time for him to attend to Negro business." James A. Guy, the Rev. M. Foster of the Second Presbyterian church and others made speeches along the same lines. One aand all deprecated violent action or incendiary language in confection with the affair. They decided that the assistance of the white man was necessary in the attainment of the ead they sought. To further the matter a branch of the Afro-American league was organized at the close of the meeting. Of this body Captain William Reynolds is president and'd J. H. Childs is secretary. The first meeting of the league will be held next Tuesday night. Prior to this time a committee of seven had been appointed to draft an address to the people of Kansas. The address, together with the names of the men who formulated it, is appended: On the 15th day of January, in the county of Leavenworth, state of Kansas, one Fred Alexander, charged with attempted assault, was taken from the penitentiary by sheriff of Leavenworth county, delivered into the hands of a mob which took the prisoner to the city of Leavenworth, chained him to a stair, saturated with oil his clothing and body, including head and face, set ARE THEY Are the Negroes so cowardly, call a meeting derelict and take proper care of their fellowtownsmen send, from the threedance from that hardy, democratic If you are, let the Negroes and other patrons send it will be done. If the Negroes brutal affray go to will be like George a few years. Let Leavenworth who jobs, keep their men a lick spittle for there are some brave who will do their fire to him and he was burned to death; and after this human holocaust, the charred remains of the victim were divided between the men, women and children who had witnessed this terrible immolation. No evidence of the guilt of the accused had been adduced except the hysterical statement of the supposed victim of his attempted assault. To the very last he victim protected his innocence. Should Have the We reverence law and hold that all criminals, of whatever color, should be punished by legal processes and in keeping with the enormity of their crimes, but we deeply deplore the burning of Alexander as a manifestation of savagery and disregard of law which are dangerous to the liberties of American people. Therefore we appeal to the people of Kansas to unite in the proper enforcement of all laws and the creation of a strong sentiment against mob violence. That we further urge upon the Governor of the state and the Attorn.y General and the county attorney of Leavenworth county to use their authority to bring to justice the perpetrators of this outrage upon the of Kansas and American civilization. That the Governor offer the most liberal reward for the arrest and conviction of the guilty parties. J. A. PAGE, W. T. M'KNIGHT. FRANK BEACH. J. H. GUY. REV. J. R. RANSOM, H. LAMBERTSON. REV. N. G.

Negroes of Topeka of Kansas know, the quick. of Kansas let this unnoticed, Kansas Gorgia and Texas in at those Negroes in who are afraid of their mouths shut and be for those demons; for havemen in that city for duty. Be it resolved by the Afro-American Republican League of Emporia, Lyon county, Kansas, that we denounce in the bitterest terms the burning of Fred Alexander by a brutal and flendish mob in Leavenworth, Kansas, January 15th, 1901, as the essence of extreme barbarism, and as a parallel to the barbarism of ancient Babylon, the Astects and the ancient Drulds. A spirit that more than a thousand years of civilization and christianizing has failed to move this type of barbarism out of man. It takes a heart like the heart of Pharoah to burn a man alive, cut off his shriveled fingers and ears, exhibit them for drinks of rum and carry them home for souveniers. To burn one to death where one was murdered for revenge without the slightest evidence that he committed the crime makes the leaders of the mob equal to the man that committed the murder. We wonder if civilization has reached its zenith—is man descending from the civilization to the base of that in Egypt. Is it done through malicious and bias prejudice to cow the manly Afro-American down? We must go ahead and be courageous, loyal and brave as long as there is one Negro left on the American soil. We denounce those newspapers and people that class all the Negroes with the criminal class of Negroes. There is as much difference between the criminal class of Negroes and the better class of Negroes as there is between the criminal class of whites and the better class of whites. We appeal to Governor Stanley, the executive and the legislative branches of our government in Kansas, and all law-abiding white and colored citizens in Kansas to stand for law and order, and use their influence to bring the criminals of Leavenworth that burned to death Fred Alexander to justice before the law, and redeem Kansas out of that class of states that are guilty of such henilous crimes. D. F. TIPTON, Pres. C. E. TERRY, Sec'y. The following resolutions were adopted at a mass meeting of the colored citizens. They have the right tone: Arkansas City, Kansas, January 29th, 1901. The Plaindealer, Topeka, Kansas: Whereas, one of our citizens, namely, Fred Alexander, was on the 15th day of January, 1901, taken by a mob, beaten chained to a stake, oiled and burned in the streets of Leavenworth. We, the citizens of Arkansas City and vicinity now assembled, be it resolved in the name of God in the interest of civilization and protection of our constitutional rights of our state and government do earnestly request the governor of the state of Kansas to use all your official powers and energies to arrest, convict and punish to the full extent of the law the guilty parties. Be it further resolved that according to the information of the press, we believe that Sheriff Everhardy of Leavenworth county was in co-action with the mob. We, therefore, request that said sheriff be removed from office and tried for manslaughter. Be it resolved that we do request the legislature now in session to enact a law compelling the sheriff of each county in the state that in all cases where he shall swear in deputies one-third at least shall be of the same nationality of the accused. We, your committee, recommend that a copy of our proceedings be forwarded to Governor W. E. Stanley, and to the Senator, L. P. King, and to our representative, Ed. Green, to the Kansas City Journal, the Topeka Capital. P. B. ANDREWS, E. A. MITCHELL, W. M. HOOKER, Sec. Committee The Editor of the Topeka Plaindaleer: Sir: Please allow us space in your valuable paper to express the views of our citizens in regard to the killing of Fred Alexander at Leavenworth on January 15, 1901. The colored citizens of Edwardsville in mass meeting assembled made the following resolutions: That, whereas, on the 15th day of January, 1901, there was committed the most humorous crime known to Christian civilization, that of burning at the stake of a human being, in the face of the fact of the party not having been tried or proven guilty of any crime and protesting his innocence to the last breath, and. Whereas, the governor of the great State of Kansas has declined to offer any reward that those guilty of said crime might be brought to justice and that the fair name of our state might be maintained, and. Whereas, the entire press of the country has condemned said outrage and has demanded that something should be done to bring to the bar of justice the perpetrators of said crime, therefore. Be it resolved that the colored citizens of Edwardsville does hereby pledge themselves to furnish their per capita share of money and have it now on hand ready to turn over to the proper authority or committe that a (Continued on page two.) NUMBER 5. PAUL BRAY'S BUDGET. CHAS. DOUGLAS RETROSPECT ON NINETEENTH CENTURY NEGRO. ASHAMED OF THE RACE. WE NEED A STANDARD OF BEAUTY NEW WASHINGTON CLUB. THE INAUGERATION ARRANGEMENTS. Washington, D.C., Jan. 16, 1901. Mr. Editor: After thirty-five years of freedom from bondage, no appreciable advancement on racial lines has been made by the Negro towards galing the respect and confidence of the dominant race in this country. Individual merit has been recognized in a few members of our race, but as a race we are generally discredited, and prejudice against us appears to be increasing. We see it in the general indifference of those who were formerly our staunchest advocates. We see it in the inimical laws made especially for our degradation in many of the Southern states; and we see it in the spirit of lawlessness towards persons of our race charged with crime, not only in the South, but in all sections of our country I attribute this condition of affairs mainly to our own general lack of self-respect. A people who do not respect themselves, cannot hope to have the respect of others. On this point the Negro is especially peculiar. He groans over evil practiced upon him by the whites, while he at the same time deals out the same kind of medicine to his own. Take our so-called race journals for instance, in which great ado is made through their columns about lack of support and appreciation by the race. Are they self-respecting? Look into their advertising columns, and you will find them covered with flaming disfigurements of ladies and gentlemen of the race, gotten up by white men and women who know their weaknesses and for a few dollars get them into our "race papers." These advertisements of "Before and after 'Anti-kink,' 'Anti-smell,' etc.," are insults thrown at us every week by our "race papers"; self-respect sold for a few paltry dollars. I am ashamed to open a "race paper" in a street car, or in any other public place. What is the lesson to our white fellow citizens? It is that we are ashamed of ourselves. That we see nothing in ourselves to admire. That we know of no other type of beauty than that of the whites. That a comb and brush fail to bring about the desired result when applied to our heads. That our complexion must be fashioned after the white as nearly so we can make it so by poisoning our skin with decoctions prepared for us by the designing whites. These evidences of a lack of self-respect among us are on the increase. Our race journals know it, but they need the money, and hence go on flaunting their insulting caricatures of our people into our faces. If a Negro should go into the office office of any respectable white journal with such an advertisement, showing a white lady to disadvantage, and a Negro lady as a type of beauty, he would be unceremoniously kicked into the street. There are some things among white journalists that money cannot buy, and I want to say right here, that if a Negro "race paper" has to depend on its existence upon such trash, it ought to go out of existence, and the sooner the better, so far as it reflects any credit upon the race. Thirty-five years of schools and churches among us has not taught us sufficient self-respect to organize for our own mutual benefit in business enterprises. It has not taught us to know that it is just as respectable to serve in the household of one of our own race, as in that of the commonest of the white race. It has not taught us to know that a continuance of having nothing among ourselves to support, such as stores, halls, and the like, will forever make us dependent upon the whites, and every other race in this country and thereby keep our girls and boys out in the cold for want of employment, and subject them to crime and immorality. Indignation meetings, petitions to the President of the United States or to Congress, will not suffice to improve our condition, and command the respect for our rights that we are rapidly losing as a race. Our press and pulpit are silent as to the real causes. We are loth to admit our own faults. Here in Washington we can raise a thousand dollars in twenty-four hours to give a tall, while we could not raise that amount in six months to organize for any pusiness purpose, or to aid in doing missionary work among the criminal classes of our city. We appear to be so constituted as to pull apart in every movement tending towards self-respect. This arraignment (Continued on second page.) Topeka Plaindealer.

There is no good feelings here among the colored people for Capt. Seaton obstructing action in the legislature against the high handed and unlawful doing of Leavenworth but few people would have believed before the Capt. could be induced to take a stand that would encourage this kind of persecution against the colored people on different excuses.

TRADE-MARK. BEFORE. AFTER. Recognizing the fact that there are many SO CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through a fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875 when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a through test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every member of the colored race, because they found it to ease the hair to grow long and straight, safe and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good. To these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not be deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all Hair Tonics. OZONO. which is sold with an iron-clad guarantee to do all that is claimed for it, or we will forfeit $0.00. Now, we ask you a plain question—would we absolutely agree to forfeit $0.00 if you are dissatisfied with our preparations, if they were not true to all we claim for them? We have advertised for several years under this guarantee, and we are glad to say that every one who has used Ozono has been satisfied in every respect. 20,000 people are to-day using our preparations, and every purchaser recommends Ozono as the King of all Hair Tonics. Ozono will positively take the Kinks out of Knotty, Kinky, Harsh, Curly, Refractory, Troublesome Hair. It will make short, harsh hair long and straight. It will cure your head of all itching, worrying scalp diseases. Itch, Eczema, Dandruff, and Scurf can not live after Ozono has been applied. It will stop your hair from falling out. It will restore gray hair to its natural color, making the hair long and soft. Now, right here, let us make a statement. Many firms are advertising remedies to straighten hair, but when they send the preparation they tell you to use hot irons. Friends, do not use hot irons; they will burn up the life of the hair, and cause it to drop out. Ozono straightens without any outside assistance. Nothing but Ozono is necessary, and the hair stays straight forever. You can stop the use at any time. The good effects on the hair are seen in a day or two after the first application. The price of Ozone is 50c. a bottle—4 boxes do the work. We make this liberal offer, which is good at any time: Cut out this coupon and send it, enclosing with it the sum of One Dollar, and we will forward to you four large boxes of Ozone and one large bottle of Electrical Skin Refiner, which makes black skin bright, rough skin soft and pliant, and cures all skin diseases.

We will also include one fancy jar of our Electrical Skin Food—Nature's great beautifier—removes wrinkles, moth patches, freckles, and all facial blemishes; makes the old look young and the young look younger.

We have thou-sands of testimonials we have not space to publish. Here is a sample of one: Boston Chemical Company: Dear Sirs—You are at liberty to state in any newspaper that I have used OZONO, and give it my most hearty recommendation.

A Literary program is to be rendered by the Epworthians, at St. Luke's chaple, Friday evening. Please allow me space in your paper to state a few facts concerning the burning of the Negro, Fred Alexander, of Leavenworth, Kansas. We, the people of Kansas, have been petitioning President McKinley in behalf of our brethren of the south, and now we have had the most brutal, horrible, henious crime ever perpetrated in the history of the state, right here in our very door. What are we going to do about it? Sit calmly by and see our people tortured to death in this horrible manner and say nothing? The man may have been guilty, but I don't believe he was for he talked and acted like an innocent man. If he had been guilty he would have confessed when he knew death was inevitable. But, even if he was guilty should a mob take the law into their hands and put him to death as they did? No. He should have been given the protection of the law and punished accordingly. Kansas should stop boasting of her brave and free sons, and hide her face in shame until she does all she can to wipe out this blot that has been placed upon her name. There are some truly noble minds in Kansas and if we, who call ourselves the upright and, denounce all mean and lowly acts, let this act pass unpunished, are we not placing ourselves on a level with the element that composed that mob? I do not believe the act of that mob meets the approval of the majority of our citizens. Then let them affirm their disapproval by bringing the leaders of that mob to justice. It can be done if the right steps are taken and it should be done. The time to strike is while the iron is hot. The people are aroused and action should be taken now.
