MAD MOB LAW IN THE SOUTH Its Oauses and Its Remedy Disoussed by a Representative Southern Man, A QUALIFIED SUFFRAGE ADVOCATED Presldent Johnson of Tulane Univeralty, New Orleans, Says Lynch Law 1s Due to Incoms potent Courts, Judges and Juries — A Remarkable Paper. (Copyrighted.) R Mob law in the south and its remedy 98 the subject of this article. The ques- ton is too large to be treated satisfactorily in a briet paper, yet its pressing nature may render som@ suggestions not unaccept- able to those who are willing to consider K it dispassiouately as a social problem ca- pable of solution. A very pressing ques- tion, indeed, is it to'the people of the southern states, with whom its scttlement must rest. Investigation, wise counsel; de- liberate action are required, especially since it has been distorted for partisan ends by sectional and factional malice. In this, as in other matt the southern states do not hold themselves amenable to the criti- cism of political bodies in the north, though they feel bound to respect the opinions of the wise and good everywhere. But it must be settled by ourselves, with- out Interference; and, With this heavy \ sense of responsibility upon us, it is our duty to look at the matter squarely, to Qiscuss 1t frankly and to decide it wisely. o . MOB LAW PREVALE - The charge made is that mob law Is - prevalent Iu the southern states. Apolo- gists will be found to deny the fact, but candld men must confess its truth. What- J ever the causes, whatever the palliations, -yt 18 notorious to us who live in the south 1s held in little ven- that the regular jurispruden 1 respect and that summary ) geance Is inflicted with great and increasing t frequency on accused persons. In criminal cases, the laws are now silent, not in the clash of ars, but in a time of profound peace and quiet. Lynch law, an extra judicial process, the fury or caprice of an excited mob, is continually substituted tor popular ! those trials by courts and juries that our } = fathers decmed essontial ‘to justice and { liberty. 1 do not go into the proof of this, for it 18 a notorious fact. Mob law Is inconsistent with rational free- dom, progress and civilization. Aspiration for Detter things, sound laws to attain them and the fnvariable execution of those laws are admitted as the surest signs of good govern- ment and a progressive civilization. The prevalence of law Is a necessary condition of moral order, and when co-ordinated with Itberty, 18 unerring_ test of melioration in the national character. Its repudiation and habltual evasion are marks of impend- ing decay or anarchy In a community or state. 1f, such is the condition of affalrs it behooves every patriot to seek out the causes and apply the remedies. Space will not allow me to argue this question, only to state the points, The causes of mob violence in the south are elther general or special. We are too apt to regard the condition of things there as altogether exceptional. We lay great stress on the cases that come to our notice, and forget that elsewhere in the world great segments of the people are making such resistance as they are able to cons stituted authorities—to the courts, the po- lice and military forces. There have been riots In England and Germany, dynamite Is thrown in France and Spain, and armed in- surrection stalks throughout Sicily. These forma of mob violence are much more serl- ous and threatening manifestations of popu- P —— ot~ — ———— lar protest against what aro thought to be bad laws and failure of justice than any- thing we have in the south. Nor can the persons fmplicated in them be confounded with ordinary criminals, since they are gen- erally acting under a mistaken view of right and wrong, under fatal fallacies of judg- meat. When they succeed it is called Tevo- lution and their heroes are apotheosized, as for instance, Garibaldi. The distinction is not forgotten that these European mobs strike chiefly at government and classes, not primarily at persons, but they always mark out Individual victims, so that the distinction s shadowy and superficial Lives are lost on both sides, great suffering is entailed on the innocent, and the success of one or the other proves not the right- eousness of its contention, but merely Its strength. Vae Victis! THE EVILS EXAGGERATED. A certain class in the north has through ignorance and prejudice magnified and distorted every disorder that could be un- earthed in the south. These are cited as evidences of a peculiar malignity in the white people and as a systematic perseci- tion of the negro race. And yet it overlooks the fact that every morning paper brings us tidings of similar violations of law by Whitecaps of the north, and generally on less provocation. Wherever a crude and sparse population have control of the ma- chinery of government it ix inadequately ad- ministered, often necessarily And when- ever a failure of justice ensues from laxity or maladministration of the law the spirit asserts itself that animat # community struggling toward a conscious realization of substantial justice—of righteousness—but often by blind paths—and inflicts a summary penalty on the offender. 'This ix 50 in the south; it 1s so in the north. But we will not use the “Tu quoque’ argument, except to illustrate that the south Is not greatly exceptional in Amerlca, in its motives and deeds. It In the south punishment falls more frequently and more heavily on the negro than on the white man it is not be- cause of race prejudice or antipathy, but be- cause the negro chiefly constitutes the crim- inal class, He I8 80 by reason of the denser ignorance, inherited criminal tendencies and feeblo will power peculiar to a social sub- stratum that has as yet been litted only measurably above the slough of barbarism. Special pleaders may put In a general de- nial of all outrage and violence, but the truth is better. We cannot candidly deny much mob violence; we may admit that negroes are more frequently its victims than white men; and It is possible that innocent men, occasionally, though very rarely, have suffered; but the extenuation I that, almost without excoption, a just fate has befallen the robbers, murderers and ravishers who have been punished without warrant of law, and that only thus could Justice have been meted out to them THE RESULT OF SOCIAL CONDITIONS. This condition of things in the south is partly the r t of soclal conditions existing before the war and partly the result of re- construction. Criminal law in the ante- bellum period was greatly a matter of moral influence and popular opinion. It was an era of status and custom. Ostracism in the upper caste and the lash mildly applied to the lower caste wero the chief fnstru ments of pu t. It was an orderly soclety. The wi d reconstruction almost destroyed the planter class, as such. It developed the white poletariat intoa formid- able political element, and put the negro between the upper and nether millstones of an outraged aristocracy and the venal and treacherous friendship of the carpet bag- ger. Here they were turned loose and con- tinually incited to insult, outrage and rob their former masters, one of the haughtiest races the world ever seen. white peo- ple, after much endurance, have by revolu- tionary methods or skilitul political diplo macy taken possession of the governments which belong to them by immemorial right. They will keep them and will avert all ex- ternal Interference. A QUALIFIED SUFFRAGE NEEDED. This makes It all the more incumbent on them, however, to deal wisely and justly with ‘all classes, with every man, woman and child in their broad domain. T do not concelve this to mean that everybody should have a right to do all the damage possible. Power should not be lodged where it cannot be safely entrusted. Only those fit to hold office, to vote, to sit on ja should be a lowed to do 80. An educational qualifica- tion for the right of suffrage, protected by the Australian ballot and adequate regis- tration laws, would temporarily, at le relieve the strain upon the electoral m; chinery and the moral consciousness of the community. With these reforms we could elect decent legislatures, which would make decent laws, and this is a first great step; for, at present, every logislature has its 1g- norant or corrupt element, a canker on hon- est government. Ask some of our best thinkers what is the remedy for mob law, and they will reply, “Public schools.” Well, we have them; and surely they will in time spread abroad intel- lectual enligh’enment, clearer views of right and wrong and a proper moral support of remedial measures. Other persons will tell you that railroads are the cure; and, un- Uoubtedly, they also are educators of value; and so are all the cotton mills and sugar re- fineries and coal mines and fron mills and machines and all the adjuncts of civillzation. They will all help, but they are not all in all. For under them as a foundation, over them as a canopy, around them as a strong wall of defense, and through and through them as a pervading atmosphere, the benign, whole- some, lie-iving spirit’ of Christianity must be immanent, Inspiring, animating and help- ing forward the good work of reform—heal- ing the nations. These are great and continuing forces, and, doubtless, would In the end solve this hard problem. But It is not for us to waft for these mills of the gods slowly but surely, by occult influences, to grind out a late result Our business is to be up and doing on these great. lines, and on lesser lines of action also. We must fetter this infant glant of mob law now; it s a question of an evil to be reme- died, a social wrong to be righted. Let the great forces. strive against it like the ele- ments and the actlons of the seasons; but we cannot walt a generation to see regular jurls- prudence overcome mob law. A nailonal vice, llke a personal habit, assumes a fixed character and crystallizes into an institution, obstructing, delaying and counteracting some of the most beneficent agents of civilization. Consider the vendetta in Corsica and the brigandage in Siclly and Greece. REFORM IN THE ADMINISTRATION OF LAW. As has been suggested in the course of this paper, a reform in the electorate is abso- lutely requisite. But, In addition to this, an immediate and urgent question is a r form in the administration of the law. It we look for the proximate cause of lynch law we find it in the failure of the courts, judges and jurjes, through the ordinary esses and machinery of law, to punish eriminals. No murderer, with money or friends, need suffer its extreme penaity. The chief causes of the failure to convict are these: Rules of evidence, intending originally to prevent political persecution and gradually stretched to the extremest Iimit in behalt of the prisoner; grounds for continuances, w trials and appeals, con | strued with t pical subtlety and tending to delays that breed public apathy and con- tempt of legal methods; the selection of juries packed to acquit, through corrupt official agencies in choosing the panel; allenges by the defense, and rules that secure ignorance and stupldity as the chief clement of the petit jury; that public pulsance, the sentimental crank, who opposes capital punishment by law, but is indifterent fo outrages by a mob; executive pardons; a confused and unenlightened public senti- ment in regard to punishment, which de- clares against vengenace in the abstract and demands it when it becomes personal to tho sufferer. The defec in statutory provisions and legal administration are within the reach of law reform; the moral causes that interfers are to be remedied by further on- lightenment and an improved public opinion, This s not the place for detatls of reforr but I may venture to sugge: that I regard as of great lmpo as it would remove a large the partisanship aud the personal aspects, chiofly arising from local influences, which determine the result of criminal cases in the country districts. It I8 to have the vicinage from which a panel is summoned extended to a large section of country, say olght or ten times the limits of the county, which now constitutes it. Another sugges- tion often made and favorably considered by many is to reduce the number of the jury to nine and abolish the requirement of uuanimity. But it {3 not necessary to dwsll cu these detalls.

They owe it to themselves and to the public to awaken from their lethargy on this vital question and to suggest, mature and carry out reforms that will make possible the prompt and effective punishment of crime. But others also should feel the duty of pressing forward these reforms. Great moral and soclal questions are involved and the publie conscience should be awakened and the public intelligence duly informed as to the Issues at stake. The moral teachers of the community, the pulpit and the press, should take up this cause and sound it like the tolling of a fire alarm at night, till all men are obliged to listen and think. And when justice fails every good citizen should ask ‘“why?" and point out for reprobation tho agents instrumental in working the iniquity. We can punish mobs only by bayonets, bloodshed and further suffering and demoralization, but we can prevent them by doing away with thelr causes and by punishing _criminals under the regular sanctions of the law. The people are waking up to this fact, and we may hope for amelioration by the control or suppression of this formidable obstacle to order and progress.

Dr. Frank W.

The pastor states that they have been suggested by Bunyan's “Pllgrims Progress,” but the wayfarer in this case will be a nineteenth century pilgrim. Indeed several of them are oxpected, for appended to the announce- ment is the exhortation: “Don’t be fooled, but begin the Journey with us and stay with us to the end,” and this invitation: “Some are traveling eastward, some westward, some going north and some south; others are mov- ing_upward, still others downward. Which road are you on? Wil you come and join us on the king's highway to heaven’ The subjects, in thelr order, are, for April, beginning tonight: “The Start and the Guide,” “'A nal Swamp,” “A Bursting Volcano, but a Good Guide,” “Forked Roads and se Guides,” “In _a Wonder- ful Plcture Gallery.” For May: “The occupancy during the coming season.
