A NATIONAL DISGRACE After having waged a war for the I preservation of ordered freedom, and condemned the atrocities of the Ger man army, we sit back and tolerate being disgraced in our native land by such foul demonstrations as the lynching, a short time since, staged In Duluth, Minn. it cannot be said that there was a wave of passionate blindness in the deed. It was ordinary mob violence and mob murder. The victims were American citizens, although not white men. If anything, there was cold, de liberate and shrewd planning in their attack on the police station and in the so-called investigation into the crime of the Negroes on the part of those who had no right to conduct a trial or the samblance of a trial. All lovers of justice admire the stand taken by the Bishop of Duluth in condemning the action as murder In cold blood, and ordering the public exposition of the Blessed Sacrament for expiation and reparation. Every man partaking in the crime is a murderer. He has taken human . life by usurped authority, which is no authority at all. Who of the mob could say they were gllllt7T No trial, no attempt to prove their in nocence or guilt, but an exemplifica tion of the grossest barbarianlsm. The right to life is a God-given gift and therefore only within the power of God to take and those law fully appointed guardians of right and Justice. The state can take human life, but for a very definite reason and through very definite processes of law. No individual can do so, nor can any group of individuals do so without committing murder. Instances of this kind are becoming more common, and only for one rea son—because the mob murderer is never punished. Justice knows no , color line. And justice promptly ad ministered to those taking the law in their own hands would soon lessen the number of those who excime the murder when the victim is black and the murderers many. — The True Voice, Omaha, Neb.
