A paragraph by Booker T. Washington to be appended to an editorial he has written on lynching. Washington contests the idea that Roosevelt’s presidency has caused an increase in chaos in the South, and asserts that under Roosevelt there have been fewer lynchings than in any year since 1885, and that the highest number of lynchings had instead come during years of Benjamin Harrison and Grover Cleveland’s presidencies.
