Every disadvantage has its advan
ages. In these days of racketeering,
major crimes and kidnapping, the stud
ious retrospective mind is kept cnstant
ly busy looking for the cause. No other
age, through which we have passed, has
produced as many of more, wealthy men
tnd women as we boast of now; nor as
nany hardened criminals. There is no re
:ord of such wholesale banditry as is in
vogue today. The pages of the daily
newspapers are filled with news of that
nature and no person is safe who ‘lays
claim to the possession of wealth; neither
are the members of the families of those
vho are the possessors of wealth. Never
have lives been so insecure as they are to
day. Kidnapping has grown to be owe of
the principal enterprises of the under
vorld, hundreds of thousands of dollars
have been extracted from the pockets of
the rich, in the last year, and no one can
tell how far it is yet to go. What is the
cause What is the remedy? “A little
leaven, leaveneth the whole lump,” is a
true saying.
For years the .Negro has been used, and
misused, to assuage the desire for blood
of the lawless and irresponsible members
of the dominant race. On the slightest
provocation, of which the cry of rape was
>nly about fifteen per cent, Negroes have
been seized, mobbed, and burned at the
stake. Many times by the connivance of
the legal authorities. While the best
white people condemned the actions of
the mob, yet when they (mob) were ap
prehended and brought to trial, we find
ony a few cases wherein a verdict of
guilty was ever returned against them,
and then in a much lesser degree'than
the charge on the indictment. Those
who, did not pull the rope or apply the
match charge on tde indictment.rhtaoin
match held the clothes. CRIMES ARE
CRIMES. The American white man
nest learn that the desire of the vicious
wolf wdien once he begins to feed on hu
man flesh cannot be assuaged. After
>nce having been supplied with a victim,
he may be appeased for a short time, but
when his thirst for blood again arises,
those who stood idly by while he devour
ed the first will fall a prey to his
wolfish desires. As with the wolf, so
with a blood thirsty mob. It is noticeable
that since the number of lynchings has
fallen off. More crimes against the per
son and life of whites by whites have
been committed.
In view of the above, there is a safe
rule by which men should be measured—
The Golden Rule—regardless of race,
condition, creed or color. We hod no
brief for the black criminal, he is no bet
«r than the white criminal, he should be
accorded a fair trial by his peers under
the law. The white man should have
every confidence in the law. It is his own
machinery; he invented it and he runs it.
Negroes with only rare exceptions have
anything to do but furnish the “Modus
oporando” for putting it in motion, he
las no escape when accused of crime, he
hasn’t a friend in court. Everyone con
cerned in his case is of a different race
than he: the lawyer who is often appoint
ed by the court to defend him is of the
ters not how fair the Judge may be in his
same race and color as the rest. It mat
rclings and instructions to the jury, the
fact fact remains that he can but help
feel his position and realize his predica
ment. He has the same reactions as men
of other races have when separated from
their kind. This being the case the Ne
gro fails to understand why he should be
lynched, why he should not be allower
the legal guaranties of a trial which the
white man has placed in his Constitution
He knows that there is no avenue of
escape if he is guilty, there can be only

and that too with all the cards stacked
igainst him. In view of such unfavorable
conditions here is no wonder that many

ihould pay the price which is exacted
from him by society. The same is true of
a white man who breaks the law whether
it be robbing banks, non-payment of tax

that seven-tenths of the world’s population is made up of
darker races. They must be taught that the rays of sun
that blaze upon the equator and turn the skin brown do
not affect the power of the brain any more than the cold
ness of icy glaciers affect the brain of the white race;
and that the darker races will not continue to be crushed
by a money mad few. If the Fatherhood of God and the
Brotherhood of Man are not welded into the hearts of this
world’s family now, by teaching the principles laid down
by our Saviour, it will be welded into the hearts of our

PRISONS AND PRISONERS
By Clifford C. Mitchell
Giving Sincere Thanks!
Although this column is written on
the Saturday preceding Thanksgiving
and may not be published for a week
or more after, I consider it an appro
priate time to pause and give thanks
to Him and all those who have helped
me so wonderfully during the past
year and particularly during the past
five months.
The thousands of readers in every
part of the country, who have been
following this particular column
know my past circumstances without
any review of same at this time but
they may not know how sincerely
grateful I am to those who have co
operated with me so generously since
my day of freedom the eighth of last
June.
Undubtedly the greatest thanks
are due Him who has kept me in good
health and usually in joyful spirits
loi without His aid and guidance
nothing could have been accom
plished.
And to Mr. Harry H. Pace, president
of the Supreme Liberity Life Insur
enco Company, and his staff of work
ers, I must acknowledge and give
thanks for the wonderful opportunity
g;ven me to build a working struct
ure on which to erect a life of use
fulness and service to others. It must
also be recorded that without their
liberal co-operation I could not have
continued my weekly writings with
out any break or interruption since
I commenced nearly four years ago.
To Dr. F. Emory Lyon, Founder and
Superintendent of the Central How
ard Association, and his efficient
secretary Miss Whitlock, I must
give thanks for their wonderful en
couragement given me and the faith
they have had in me which I sincere
ly hope I can satisfactorily live up'
to during the future months and
years.
I am grateful to the publishers thro
ut the country who have continued
to use my releases only since free
dom was obtained, and by compar
ison now numbers as follows.
At my release from prison one hun
dred and two publishers had used my
“Digest the News” which figure has
grown during the past five months
to exactly one hundred and sixty.
Sixty publishers had used my Week
ly Book comment column which now
numbers eighty-fiva...„.
This column, “Prisons and Prisoners”
had been used by thirty-seven pub
lications while the latest count is
ninety-five.
Twenty-four publications had used
This and That” and this number has
grown to eighty-four. ..
The first weak offreedom gave birth
to a new column, “Chigo and Chicag
ans” which already has been used' by
forty-one publications. ..
Shortly thereafter a weekly news
feature commenced which has been
used by forty-two different publica
tions. .....
For this wonderful increase in read
er prestige I certainly am sincerely
grateful not only to the editors and
publishers but also to the thousands
of new readers from Coast to Coast
j and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf
I of Mexico......
And to my legion of correspondents
I am thankful for the many encour
aging letters sent me during the past
few months and only regret that in
the struggle to make a living I have
neglected my correspondence most
shamefully. ________ I
