SEWARD. ALASKA. FRIDAY, AUGUST 20, 1015.
Ity offering a large reward for the discovery of each man guilty of the
lynching of Leo Frank the government redeems itself from the charge of
condoning mob murder. Now is the time while the whole United States is, no
doubt, moved by the horror of the act to insist on the blotting of the lynch
ing stain from the name of the country. It is ail very well to say that a
negro or anyone else who outrages sex should be done to death. He un
questionably should be. He deserves death, but death at the hands of a
mob is a greater crime against society as a whole than any crime of an in
dividual. One destroys only two at the worst, the other tends to destroy all.
If the father or brother of a woman took summary vengeance on a ravisher
or murderer the vengeance might well be overlooked, but even then society is
careful to guard against giving a free license, for freedom to inflict sum
mary vengeance is sueeptible of abuse under ail circumstances. Summary
punishment is the very danger which courts have been established to abolish,
and the placing of power in the hands of an unthinking mob is the most
dangerous of all the kinds of license.
Peace is really out of the question in Europe. The present war is a war
of shopkeepers anil the side which loses must put up its shuttters. Later,
after defeat, the losers may open business again in smaller stores. It is all
rot to speak of the present war as being caused by altruistic motives. Who
ever heard of a great power of Europe that cared a straw about the suffer
ings or suppression of a smaller nation unless some other power did the sup
pressing. Why. the wars of old, which might have been caused by the in
sulting of a royal sister or mother in law. Curramba, were beautiful, ro
mantic and gallant affairs compared to the struggle now for the trade in
shoe leather or bathtubs. By the lighting in muddy trenches are the motives
of the present conflict exemplified, the praiseworthy ideas of brave youth to
the contrary notwithstamiing.
