PRESIDENT RO DENOUN HE DECLARES THAT M IS ONE FORM Swift Justice by Due Proce Best Means to Preven of Indiana Is Comme Assumed During the Evansville. Oyster Bay, N. Y., Aug. 9—In a letter, the publication of which was authorized to-day, President Roosevelt commends Gov. Durbin of Indiana for the attitude toward lynching. The president also embraces the opportunity to express his own views in reference to lynching and mob violence generally. He points out that mob violence merely is one form of anamnesis for the form of tyranny. The president vigorously urges that the penalty for crimes that induce a resort to lynching shall be applied swiftly and surely but by due process of the courts, and that the punishment for lynching law is adequate to deal with crime, by freeing it from every vestige of technicality and delay." **Law Vindicated.** President Roosevelt's letter in full to Gov. Durbin follows. "Oyster Bay, N. Y., Aug. 6, 1903—My Dear Gov. Durbin: Permit me to thank you as an American citizen for the admirable way in which you have vindicated the majesty of the law by your recent action in reference to lynching. I feel, my dear sr. that you have made all men your debtors who believe, as all farseeing men must that, as far as the republic depends upon that spirit of order liberty under the law which is as incompatible with mob violence as with any form T. THOMAS Chairman Executive Committee of despairism. Of course, mob violence is only One Form of Anarchy, and anarchy is now, as it has always wrongly. I feel that you have not only reflected honor upon the state which for its good fortune has you as its chief executive, but upon the whole nation. It makes you a victim of this country not only to hold up your hands in the course you have been following but to show his realization, that the matter is one of real concern to us all. All honorable men must feel the importance of the law, and be in this country, especially over the peculiarly hideous form so often taken by mob violence when colored men are the victims—on which occasions the mob seems to lay most weight not on the crime Color of the Criminal "In a certain proportion of these cases the man lynched has been guilty of a crime horrible beyond description; a crime so horrible that so far as he himself is concerned he has forfeited the right to any kind of sympathy whatsoever. The feeling of this horrible crime should not be hideously punished by mob violence is due not in the least to sympathy for the criminal, but to a very lively sense of the train of dreadful consequences which follow course taken by the criminal in human wrong. In such cases, moreover, it is well to remember that the criminal not merely sins against humanity in inexplicable and unpardonable fashion, but sins particularly Against his own and does them a wrong far greater than any white man can possibly do them. Therefore in such cases the colored people throughout the land should in every possible way show their belief that they more than all others in the community are horrified at the commission of a THE APPEAL. crime, are peculiarly concerned in taking every possible measure to prevent its recurrence and to bring the criminal to immediate justice. The slightest fact of vigor either in denunciation of the crime or in the prosecution of it itself is itself unappurdable. Moreover, every effort should be made under the law to expedite the proceedings of justice in the case of such an awful crime. But it cannot be necessary in order to accomplish this purpose, and the rights to be heard in his own defense, which are so dear to us all and which lie at the Root of Our Liberty. "It certainly ought to be possible by the proper administration of the law to seize the criminals and the best and immediate efforts of all legislators, judges and citizens should be addressed to securing such reforms in our legal procedure as to leave no vestige of excuse for those misguided men who undertake to rage vengeance through vengeance." "Men who have been guilty of a crime like rape or murder should be visited by the court, and the just effort made by the courts to protect them, in their rights, should under no circumstances be perverted into permitting any abuse of the right to avail or detain punishment. FORTUNE. National Business League. No Use For Technicalities. "The substantial rights of the prisoner to a fair trial must have so justly insisted that they be. But, subject to this guarantee the law must work swiftly and surely, and all the offences that are committed they do when they permit justice to be delayed or thwarted for insufficient reasons. We must show that the law is adequate to deal with the crimes it is necessary every day of technically and delay. "But the fullest recognition of the horror of the crime and the most complete lack of sympathy with the criminal cannot in the least diminish our horror at the way in which these crimes and at the consequences that are already proceeding therefrom. It is, of course, inevitable that where vengeance is taken by a mob it should frequently light on innocent people, and the wrong done to the individual or to which there is connection. But even where the real criminal is reached the wrong done by the mob to the community: itself is well-nigh as great. Especially is this true where the lynching is accompanied with torture. There are certain kinds which, when taken from the mental retard, can never be bypassed from the mental retard. The mere fact of having seen them Implies Degradation. "This is a thousand fold stronger when, instead of merely seeing the deed the man has participated in it. Whoever in any part of our country has ever taken part in the dreadful torture of fire must forever after have the awful spectacle of his own handwork seared into his brain and soul. He can never again be the "This matter of lynching would be a terrible thing even if it stopped with the lynching of men guilty of the inhuman and murderous acts of fact lawlessness of this type never EXECUTIVE CO does stop and never can stop in such fashion.

In the same way **The Use of Torture** by the mob in certain cases is sure to spread until it is practiced more or less indiscriminately in other cases. The spirit of law or violence is sure to rage when mobs with immature lynch criminals for one cause they are certain to begin to lynch real and allied criminals for other causes. The spirit of law or violence is sure to rage three-fourths were not for rape at all, but for murder, attempted murder and even less lenient offenses. Moreover, the history of these recent cases shows the fact that the mind is often turned to the crime by lawless bodies to axe crimes of a peculiarly revolting description other lawless bodies will use torture in order to punish crimes of an ordinary type. Surely no justice is maintained and debasement which the indulgence of such a practice usually portends. Surely all pairlords men, all writers for the daily, press, all clergymen, all teachers, all who in any way wish to be able to handle with cherry, unite To Denounce Such Crimes and to support those engaged in putting them down.

We forcibly T President of All the People right so to speak when we commit or condone such crimes as those of which I wish "The nation, like the individual, cannot commit a crime with impunity. If we are guilty of lawlessness or brutal violence, whether our guilt consists in active participation therein, or in imminent conviction or management, we shall assuage either later on because of what we have done.

Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 10.—Gov. Durbin today sent a formal reply to the letter he received yesterday from *r*resident Roosevelt concerning the recent mob at Evansville. Gov. Durbin says: "Dear Mr. President! Acting in accordance with the suggestion made by the secretary to the President, I yesterday telegraphed you my approval of the communication you have seen fit to address to me and my colleagues. In doing so I succeeded on the well-wished belief that the commendation you have so generously accorded to my official' acts was only incidental to the broader purpose of your admirable letter, w...ch is a moving appeal to the conscience and the patriotism, destined, in my opinion, to profoundly affect public sentiment on a vitally important national problem. The effect of such an appeal from such a source is certain to be salutary in its widespread influences. In this instance, as in other emergencies, you have spoken with the courage of courage, the courage of courage, the quence of courage, and umer theoration of the clear understanding of and devotion to the duties and responsibilities of American citizenship.

"Your stirring words will serve to press-home upon the people a responsibility which, reaching beyond all those in authority, is, after all, essentially their own. We promise all the realization of their responsibility and all that it implies will be to eradicate conditions which otherwise may soon become, as you point out so clearly, an amminent menace to the very life of the republic." Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 10.—Gov. Terrell today indorsed the contents of President Roosevelt's letter to Gov. Durbin of Indiana in regard to the recent action of Gov. Durbin to prevent lynchings in that state. NATIONAL AFR Gov. Terrell gave the following signed statement to the Associated Press this morning: "I think President Roosevelt is on the right line, and I am in hearty accord with the views he expresses. The majesty of the law should be upheld, but at the same time there should be a prompt and speedy trial of the offenders in the case of that crime which most frequently excites the anger of mobs and leads to lynchings, and the punishment should not be delayed by technicalities. "We have so amended our criminal laws in Georgia as to have speedy trials by authorizing our judges to order a special term of the court to try criminals. "No law. however strictly enforced, will absolutely stop lynchings for rape, but speedy trials tend to lessen the number and practically serve as a preventive of lynchings for other offenses. "It is interesting in this connection to note that the numerous lynchings in the North and Northwest of late have brought forth such an expression from the President, while the number of lynchings within the same period as to attract little or no attention." Baton Rouge, Aug. 10—In discussing the letter of President Roosevelt to Gov. Durbin, of Indiana, Gov. Heard T, unching is Anarchy and a "I think the remedy for lynch law is prompt and speedy trial. The law should be relieved of its technicalities by which criminals are able to get long and repeated delays. There is one point on which I strongly dissent from the President's view. He seems to think that the punishment meted out to Negroes for certain nameless crimes are punishments especially aimed at by reason of their mischief. His misconduct, doubtless, from the fact that this crime is limited almost exclusively to the colored race. The punishment knows no distinction of color. White men rarely commit this crime, but when they do, the record shows that it matters little in what section it occurs, the same punishment usually follows."

THE PRESIDENT ON EVACHING. rhe latter of President Roosevelt to Governor Durbin of Indiana commend: ing his action in the recent’ cases_of mob law in Evansville and denouncing Iynehing in general is a strong protest against our national disgrace. ‘The President calls on an enlighten- ed public sentiment to oppose mob vio- lence. He declares that lynch law grows with what it feeds on, and when ‘mobs lynch criminals for heinous crimes they will eventually Iynch al Teged criminals for petty offenses. "This in borne out by recent press die- patches, for within a month there have been lynchings and attempted Iynch- ings for assaults on men, theft and even for “Insolence.” ‘Mr. Roosevelt calls attention to the terrible effect upon the community and the individuals engaged in these mob murders. He says: “There are certain hideous. sights which, ‘when onee seen, can never be wholly erased from the mental retina, The mere fact of having seen them tin- plies degradation. This is a thousand- fold stronger when, instead of merely flr (Wit . NYY WN \ 4 i Ss ie Ha Ni (an > Wine! an" vile e355 | cee, Yell \ Aw. ‘The favorable attention of the coun- try which Gov. W. T. Durbin, of In- diana, brought to himself by his atti- tude during the race war at Evansville has given him a boom for the Vice Presidency. The Republican leaders are looking for the right man in the Middle West. President Roosevelt has widely heralded his approval of Gov. Durbin by praising in high terms the governor's conduct toward the would- fe Iynchers, and his utterances on the seeing the deed, the man has partici pated in it. Whoever in any part of ‘our country has ever taken part in lawlessly putting to death a criminal by the dreadful torture of fire must for ever after have the awful spectacle of his own handiwork seared into his brain and soul. He can never again be the same man.” ‘The president emphasizes the de- mand that the flends who are guilty of assaults on women and other inhuman crimes should meet with swift and cer- tain punishment under the law, “and the best and immediate efforts of all legislators, judges, and citizens should be addressed to securing such reforms ‘in our legal procedure as to leave no vestige of excuse for those misguided men who undertake to reap vengeance through violent methods.” Calling attention to the duty of the ‘Afro-Americans in cases where one of the race charged with an heinous of- fense, the President says, and rightly too: "in such cases, moreover, it 1s well to remember that the criminal not merely sins against humanity in in- explable and unpardonable fashton, but RUE preety against iis “own Facet and does them a wrong far greater than any white man can possibly do them. ‘Therefore, in such cases the Afro-American people throughout the jand should in every possible way show thelr beliet that they, more than all others in the community, are horrified at the commission of such a crime and fare peculiarly concerned in taking ev- ery possible measure to prevent its recurrence and to bring the criminal to immediate justice.” ‘The President does well {n calling on “all public men, writers for the daily press, all clergymen, all teachers and all who have the right to address the publle to unite with every energy to create a. public sentiment hostile to mob lav." Closing, Mr. Roosevelt says that mob taw fe a peril to the nation. “he nation, like the individual, ean- et commit a crime with impunity. If we are guilty of Iawiessness and bru- tai violence, whether our guilt consists in aetive participation therein or in mere connivance and encouragement, we shall assuredly suffer later on_be- cauge of what we have done. ‘The sorner stone of this republic, as of all free governments, is respect for and obedience to the jaw. Where we per- mit the law to be defied or evaded, whether by rich man or ‘poor man, by black man or white, we are by just so much weakening the bonds of our eiv- {lization and increasing the chances of its overthrow, and of the substitution therefor of a system in which there shall be violent alternations of anarchy and tyranny.” ‘The strong, earnest words of the President are true. The very existence of the government depends upon the vindication of the power of equal laws. ‘The letter will be widely read, and it is certain that the warning of the Pres- ident gives will be heeded by the thoughtful people of the country and that all good citizens will join in a cru- sade against mob Taw, Which means ananene. Although thousands of black women have beon whipped in Georgia by white men both in prison and out without any very strenuous protests trom the chivalric humanitarians, the whole country Is now in an uproar because ‘one white woman has been subjected to this humiliation by the warden of the Georgia penitentiary. The unfor tunate woman says she was whipped because she would not submit to. the lecherous embraces of the state of ficial. ‘The warden says she was whip- ed because she was obstinate and im- Pudent to his wife. But it matters not why she was whipped, the fact that she ‘was whipped Is the cause of the public indignation. We denounce the outra- geous act as strongly as any one, but fot because she was white, but because she was a woman. During the days of slavery many black women were whip- ed for the same cause that this white Woman gives as the cause of the war- den's actions—some whipped to death —and the world moved on just the same. It makes all the difference in the world whose ox is gored. ‘By the way, It soema to us that if the woman's story {5 correct, and she was really whipped because she refused to sacrifice her honor to gratify the lust of the warden, he..was guilty of assault with the intent to commit rape upon a white woman, and therefore ought-to receive the usual authorized punishment for such heinous crime at the hands of the est citizens.

It says: » “The employment. of atrocious tor tures in the lynching of Afro-Amert cans throughout the United States re veals a strain of barbarism in the American character hich is a blot up ‘on the Caucasian race, Americans who really value the liberty of which, as a nation, they are so fond of-taiking but of which, as individuals, they pos sess so little, will do well to lay the President's wise words to heart.” ‘The “St. James Gazette” also dis ‘cusses the matter, but in a more kindly spirit, It says: “So strong is our sense of common Kinship with America that we share to the full the feelings of shame and-hor ror that prevail among all good eltizens of the United States when they con- template this festering sore. We join with them in welcoming this admirable vindication of our race which Prest dent Roosevelt has voiced so well.” The “Pall Mall Gazette” says: “President Roosevelt is evidently set on making Americans realize the hide- ous nature of this blot upon their eivill zation. ‘The courage -with which he speaks is beyond praise, when it is con- sidered that he 1s soon to become a candidate for President.” A PLEA FOR HUMANITY. | Letter from Society of Friends in Eng- land to Fellow Christians of ae ere Dear Friends: We venture to ad- dress you in the name and on behalf of. the Religious Society of Friends in Great Britain, a body of men and wom- en who aro earnest desirous that th practice of Christlan living among themselves and others should be brought into harmony with the teach- ing and example of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Will Open Aug. 23 With "Old Kentucky." Only one more week now intervenes before the opening of the fall and winter season of the Grand Opera house. Sunday night, Aug. 23, will mark the initial performance of the season, previews of the Old Kentucky, an attraction which never fails to please St. Paul theatre goers. During the summer the theater has undergone the usual cleaning and renovating, and when the season opens it will be filled with pet dogs and brightened and renovated both in front and back of the curtain. House cleaning in a theater means a deal of work. It means a cleaning of the walls and draperies, the washing and polishing of all the woodwork, and the renovating of the seats, requiring the company of working people for several weeks. With the opening of the fall season the management will open for use, for the first time the new ladies' waiting room. Over $2,000 has been spent in providing for this accommodation, and the staff will be able to complete rooms of its kind connected with any playhouse in the West.

It seems to me that the public expression of the President's views on lynching will be a great help to the maintenance of law and order. I have been expecting, some such action by Mr. Roosevelt for some time past. In the last two months lynching appears to have taken a great hold on the country, and it is a serious matter to allow that kind of law-breaking to occur without a forcible protest. It would lead to inevitable contagion. The state and national government should be brought to bear upon the suppression of mob violence. We simply cannot permit it to go on any longer. Mrs. Fannie Barrier Williams. At last we can boast of a President who does not allow political affiliations to influence her decision. President judgment. It is the first time that a President has ever, in an open statement, shown his abhorrence of the countless outrages perpetrated against him. Rockwell's message to Governor Durbin will give food for thought to the highest officials of other states who have closed their eyes to the lynchings of the black men and the deaths of the earth doubt as to our right to call ourselves civilized and enlightened. Edgar B. Tolman, Corporation Counsel. It is a good thing or any man prominent in public life to join in the condemnation of the lynching cell. It is more important thing that the whole people should condemn it. All good citizens should agree that lynching is illegal and that it must be put an end to. A forcible utterance upon the subject from a leading citizen cannot fall FALCONER'S LAUNDRY First-Class Laundry Work. It in Every Respect.

I stand for every sentence of the law and against all forms of mob violence. A bad Afro-American is no worse than a bad white man, or any other man. Government should be punished, but not by a mob. The vaporings of Senator Tillman are offset by such men as President Roosevelt and Governor Durbin of Indiana. The heart of the American people has always been right. We stand with President Roosevelt, for the Constitution and the law, and against anarchy and mob rule, North or South. Dr. Harry Pratt Judd (head professor of political science and acting president of the University of Chicago). The prevailing spirit of disorder is deceived dangerous to the welfare of our country. When any public officer takes a strong stand for law and order, as Governor Durbin and that sheriff in Sole Agents for KNOX HATS and HANAN SHOES. Annual SALE. departments.

Everyone must agree that President Roosevelt, in issuing a strong letter at Congress expressing his same charge of America and deserves commotion. Dr. M. A. Majors. President Roosevelt has always shrewdly seen all things pertaining to the Afro-American people. He is the greatest humanitarian of the age, and is in close touch with sentiment of the people of this nation. What he has said to Governor Durbin has been a moral influence all over the country. Judge Edward F. Dunne. President Roosevelt's letter to Gov. Durbin on lynching beoved be viewed by all good citizens. It is especially timely. A craze for illegal violence has swept over the country and the American people appear to be losing all their respect for law. This is apparent in the South. I think that the community cannot to rest content with the President's forcible letter, but that it ought to expect from other public men similar condemnations of the outrages that have disgraced the country. Dr. Charles R. Henderson (professor of sociology, and an international scholar) authority on crime). This lynching of Afro-Americans is all of a piece with widespread incarceration and labor troubles and the loss of life from them right here in Chicago. The President, as the supreme ruler of the land, does well to come out with a strong statement commending those doing their duty. If we all unite in expressing our opinions, the political hacks will be led to do their duty. Tillman, the anarchist, is being discredited by many of the leading Southern journals. They say he is in no sense a representative of the South. Defective Page COMING LATE Dr. M. A. Majors. MINNEAPOLIS DOINGS IN AND ABOUT THE GREAT "FLOUR CITY."

Georgia's Secretary of State Celebrates by Displaying Confederate Flags. Atlanta, Ga. Aug. 9- Georgia's secretary of state, B. M. Blackburn, celebrates the Confederate Miles from the command of the army by decorating the state capitol with confederate flags and portraits of general officers of the confederacy. Blackburn was a child during the civil war, but grew up with great admiration for Jefferson Miles, the general Miles, because the latter put the confederate cheftain in chains at Fortress Monroe. When Blackburn learned Miles was to retire he determined to show his joy by displaying confederate relief used considerable comment among the legislators, who were asked by Blackburn to cheer for the retirement of Miles.

Saysa Conflict May Follow the Failure to Repeal the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution—The Educ ion of the Afro-Americans Declared to be a Failure. At the Auditorium, Chicago, Sunday, ben, tillman met a number of Boston war veterans. The Senator had several days' growth of beard on his face, the result of the episode which side-tracked him for three days down the state. He had been robbed of transportation and funds and escaped from a train by a conductor, who did not differentiate between a United States Senator and an ordinary citizen, and his tongue had lost none of its rancor. "It is bound to be war," declared Senator Tillman emphatically, "and it will come soon. The repeal of the amendment is the only salvation of the country. The few debates I have had with Senator Burton have been me that the Negro question with the South is the Negro question if it ever comes to a show down." The Southern Senator looked around and was surprised to see that he had an audience of many. "That's all right. You think it strange that I talk that way, but it's because you have never thought of the situation, that's all." He said, when a Boston man sneered, "Why, look here, if you encourage these black fellows and give them 30,000 more votes in South Carolina than the whites have, what does that mean?" and the Senator looked at his auditors. "That they will rule," answered one of the Boston veterans. "Not much it don't," retorted the Senator. "It means that about 30,000 and as many more as will give the whites a majority will have" be sent to the land where voting is not among the pleasures. The Senator's tie had become disarrange and he lost a few minutes in it. "Say, do you believe that a 'nigger' is as good as a white man?" he suddenly demanded. "Well, I can't say that I do," was the answer and the Senator laughed. the answer, and the "Of course, you don't, and neither does anybody else. You won't stand for his capers any more than we will in the South. Oh, I have kept Senator Burton busy explaining these little race prejudices, that you have in the North." "Senator Burton said to educate them" volunteered a bronzed and bearded veteran. "Educate them?" repeated the Senator, and then he laughed. "Say, there is only one colored man in one hundred that can stand an education. The first thing that an educated 'nigger' wants to do is to preach the Gospel. If not that he wants to practice law or teach school. Somebody has got to pound it into their heads that they were put on earth to pick cotton, and they will have to pick cotton in the South. You certainly have made a mess of the colored man in the North. It's mighty seldom that a colored man becomes educated. He gets a sort of veneering wants to associate with the people, and when he learns that he can't drop the veneering and becomes just a plain 'nigger.'" The Senator was a bit too much for the soldiers from Boston, and they turned away with laughs and jeers, but not until the Southern Senator had shouted: "Say, you people think of what I have said about the fifteenth amendment. It sounds new, it will improve with age. Remember it's that or the other of reducing the colored majority in South Carolina. Now, don't forget it," and the Senator was on his way to his room. F. E. R. CAR PORTERS ORGANIZE. Propose to Abolish Tipping and Demand More Wages. East St. Louis, Ill., Aug. 12—A sleeping car porters' union has been organized for the purpose of abolishing the "tipping" system. At a meeting last night in this city forty-six of the best known porters of the city were present, and were enthusiastically in favor of the proposition. Officers were elected, and an application will be made for a charter affiliating with the American Federation of Labor. Those present at the meeting claimed that the company or individual which paid a man such a low wage that he was compelled to ask for and receive tips should be forced to advance the scale. LYNCHING DOES NO GOOD That's What Gov. Hunn of Delaware Thinks. Dover, Del., Aug. 10.—Gov. Hunn said to-day: "I think President Roosevelt's letter to the Governor of Indiana was the right thing and he said just what he should have said. "Gov. Durbin has the support and congratulations of all law-abiding citizens of every state. Relative to the question of lynching and mob law; it is to be deplored when and wherever it happens; it certainly does no good, unless it be to temporarily increase the circulation of the daily papers." There is no record that any of the persons who participated in the recent burning of a negro in Delaware have been punished. NO EXCUSE FOR MOBS. Says Governor Dockery of Missouri. Jefferson City, Mo., Aug. 10. —Questioned to-day, Governor Dockery said: "Human agencies enforce the law and until there is a change of sentiment in human agencies there will at times be mob violence. There is no excuse for mobs in this state, which has a statute imposing capital punishment for the commission of the offense for which an indignant people seek to mete out judgment before the courts can act. An officer should obey the law and a sheriff should always afford protection to his prisoner. When a sheriff resists him, probably killing soake of its members who are seeking to take a prisoner from him, sentiment is against him until passions away and cool, sober judgment takes place. Then his course is indorsed." WOULD LYNCH, WHITE MAN. Courthouse Bell in Ridgway, Pa., is Rung to Summon Pose. Ridgeway, Aug. 10.—Fully 200 men quit work this afternoon at the ringing of the courthouse bell and volunteered to search the woods and country roads for a white man who assaulted Miss Singer aged about 20 years.

Afro-Americans Need Some One Who Can Picture Their Life, Says W. H. A. Moore. “What is needed for the Afro-American race is some great writer—an Afro-American—who will do for them what Zangwil has done for the Jews,” said W. H. A. Moore the other night at the Institutional Church, 3825 Dearborn street. The “Afro-American writer who can adequately picture the life and analyze the motive for the race has not appealed to me. E Burghart Borg with his essays and short stories, has come nearest to expressing what is best and fullest in our life, but he is only the pioneer. “The voice of the Afro-American in literature stammers, and is not quite sure of itself, while that of the Caucasian is high, shrill and strong.” “Paul Dunbar,” said the speaker, “has been over-estimated. His work is clever, but lacks elements of strength to make it permanent.” The worst enemy a man can have n a fool friend. As a rule sharp business men art rather blunt. ```markdown ``` PER & CO.
