In order to get possession of the accused resort was had by State officials to kidnapping upon perjur- ed affidavits, and the men were seiz- ed at their homes late on Saturday | night and rushed into another State | without opportunity for them to de- fend themselves by resort to the courts, as is guaranteed to every} citizen. Appeal was taken to the United States Supreme Court, but ear to the plea and refused to give the men their rights it turned a dea in a decision that legalized kidnap- ping. To further add to the bar- riers around the apparently doomed Roosevelt, in his} men, President speech at the laying of the corner- 14, 1906, referred to the men as being “implicated in murder,”which he tried to deny subsequently when he referred to them and others as “undesirable This at- tracted universal attention to the case and gave to the trial a world- wide interest.

' How to Solve the Race Problem. | “If you want to know how to solve| the race problem, place your hands upon your hearts and then, with a prayer to} God, ask Him how you today, were you | placed in the position that the black | man now occupies, how you would de-} sire the white man to treat you, and) whenever you have answered that ques- | ltion in the sight of God and man, this | problem in a large degree will have}, been solvec. . “The two races are going to be friends and not enemies. The white man in America cannot afford to be unjust to} the Negro. Every act of injustice will remain to weaken further generations. Every law so administered to mean one thing for a black man and another thing en applied to a white man means the moral degradation to the individual who enforces such law.
