ANTLLYNCHING DEBATE UNFORTUNATE The prolonged debate in the United States Senate ever the anti-lynching bill is not very fortunate for the nation.

Some citizens do not know- of the “tragic era’ when Federal bayonets sup- ported black domination of the white South |coners and when some fanatics attempted to make the Southern States the: provinces of Negro domination. It is possible that the orgy of reconstruction had much.te do\with | the lynching evil and that any attempt to force a solution of present racial problems will cause irreparable harm, not only to the two races in the South, but to the structure of Federal government as well. It is easy enough to condemn lynching and most Southern people will subscribe to the denunciation. It is another thing, how- ever, to use Federal force, in any degree, | ‘to coerce Southern States in an effort to compel a solution of the race question. It can be done, perhaps, but, once begun, the | | policy of force will have to be backed by | more force and that can easily develop in- | te a campaign that will cost more than the people of the United States, will -want to) pay- * Say 5 "Ktter reading about ares crash that cost ten lives a citizen said. to the editor, “You'll never catch me in one of them; every day!” He was impressed with the accounts of several accidents that the newspapers reported in a few days.
