What becomes a crime deserving capital punishment when the tables are turned is a matter of small moment when the negro woman is the accusing party.

The way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them.

The appeal to the white man's pocket has ever been more effectual than all the appeals ever made to his conscience.

Virtue knows no color line.

There is nothing we can do about the lynching now, as we are out-numbered and without arms.

The doors of churches, hotels, concert halls and reading rooms are alike closed against the Negro as a man, but every place is open to him as a servant.

Thus lynch law held sway in the far West until civilization spread into the Territories and the orderly processes of law took its place. The emergency no longer existing, lynching gradually disappeared from the West.
