Another Explanation.

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

A wholesale regard for law and order coupled with an exaggerated emotional sense of justice do not always work smoothly in double harness. Doubtless, to the legal mind, an outbreak of mob violence is the uspeakable; correction of evils should be undertaken by the ballot--no matter whether the base offender against the primal law of harmony in the state die of old age in the penitentiary while awaiting trial for his deeds. Doubtless, Mr. Fairbanks, you are right.

But Mr. Fairbanks, you are right. Far-distance glasses. He has failed to perceive that justice is elemental in the state and that when, after a succession of the basest deeds has been perpetrated against society in general (not to men certain material causes which would tend to incite retaliation by whites upon the blacks), the fundamental concept of emotional justice, whether it is justified or not, is bound to force action. I dare say that were a succession of 28 assaults and outrages by negroes upon white women to occur in any city in the country, eastern cities included, there would be some sort of summary justice dealt the criminals, and whether this justice were administered by legal action or by mob violence I assert it would be summary and immediate. Court action, after two moths, trial, in the case, failed. Mob violence, passionate, exaggerated, emotional, primitive justic, dealt with the case. Sol. A ROSRNRLATT '22.
