We of the United States know better, but news of fatal and
long-continued race riots in Washington, daily lynchings in the south and labor
troubles on every hand must give Berlin, Vienna, Petrograd and other turbulent
foreign capitals the impression that, after all, conditions which depress them
are not so much worse than those which exist in the home of the free. If ever
this republic should set a good example to the rest of humanity, that time is
now, but as a leader to the world it is falling down on its job most
lamentably.
