"The rioting in Chicago Is merely
anarchy, and should bo treated nj such,"
said Judge Crowe. "The government
that cannot protect the humblest citi
zen cnnnot protect the strongest, and is
n weak and Inefficient governinint.
"A large number ,of lives have been
taken, a great deal of property has been
destroyed and a great mauy people arc
now being deprived of their liberty by
being prevented from going about their
business. livery mnn who violates the
law, reganlless of his color, should be
promptly Indicted, and I promise on be
half of the judiciary thnt they will bo
promptly placed on trial."
Deplores Haro Prejudice
Governor Frank O. Low den said to
elay :
"Order has been restored in the dan
ger zone. Fence reigns there, but let
it be remembered that it is only becnuse
of the presence of the troops. The con
ditions which produced the race riots
must be ri moved. The state is working
and has been working for some time
upon a plan which it is hoped will
bring about a better understanding be
tween tho two races.
"So fnr it has been difficult to get
the public to realise the necessity of
this, and but little progress has been
made. Now, however, with the mem
ory of the uwful riots of last week in
our minds, with nn overwhelming ells
aster so narrowly averted, we ought to
be willing to give our attention to re
moving the causes of this uuhappj situa
tion. I invito the eo-operntiou of nil
public bodies in Chicago in working out
tho problem
"A great eilv like Chicago must
provide gooel and ample housing condi
tions for its workeis, hoth colored and
white. If it would avoid race elistur
bances, the laws must be enforced with
cepiul impartialitv against both races.
If favors for political reasons ore shown
either line, both races are bound to
suffer."
