MONEY FOR SALARIES

power by extending this railway
To our Atlantic Coast by or be
fore the year 1920@ The record
of the revenue producing power
OF this railroad, looking back no
farther than the past 4S years,
shows that il has brought more
than Sl5,OO0,0O0 70 the State
Treasury with no more trouble
and expense than talking about
it, passing two legislative acts
and executing two leases.
And If you will balance this sum
against the aggregate OF all the
salaries Of all the judges and So
licitorS together with the sala-
rles of all the Governors and
every other "Statehouse officer"
together with the pay of every
member of both houses of every
General Assembly for all those
AZ years, you will md that this
railroad has more than betrayed
all the expense OF Georgia for
making AN her laws ana superiu-
tending their enforcement.

Comment on Frank Case

been said touching Leo
Franks nationality, and be-
cause he was d Jew there
was a prejudice existing
against him. | feel sure that
such a statement is utterly
untrue, and many who have
made such a charge know it
to be untrue.
Again, Mr. Simon Wolf
makes this remarkable state
ment: And in the case of
Frank there can no longer be
any question but that rea-
sOnable doubt was denied
him, and that the spirit that
pervaded the courtroom dur
ing the trial was anything
but orderly or civilized" Upon
what assumption, we would
like to ask, does Mr.. Wolf reach
the remarkable conclusion
that Frank was denied the
reasonable doubt?" The fact
is, Frank was given the bene-
fit of the reasonable doubt
if we are disposed to believe
what the twelve jurors say.
He not only misstates the
facts in this regard, but he
reflects upon every one Of
those twelve jurors. They
swore they would give the
prisoner the benefit Of any
reasonable doubt" and log
ically they did so, for each
juror had to pass that dead
line, so to speak, before they
could write a unanimous YER
dict of guilty.
Then, again. this sage OF
Washington, d. c., makes the
further reflection that the
spirit that pervaded the
courtroom during the trial
was anything but orderly or
civilized" Does he suppose
the people of Georgia and
elsewhere will swallow any
such statement? The writer
happened to be in Atlanta
during most of the trial and
was in the courtroom, and
we assert that we have never
witnessed a more orderly
trial. 1t seems that some
newspapers have just thrown
down the fences. and allowed
almost libelous articles to be
published against judge, jury,
Solicitor and the people Of
Georgia as touching this
Frank case.

Here is, then, an altar of the

of the mind that is in man when
he was beginning to think.

Editor The Georgian.
In a recent issue of your
paper l note an article by Mr.,
Simon Wolf, Of Washington,
u. c.. "A Comment on the
Frank Case" should like
to offer a few reflections
touching this case and Il criti-
cism or SO on this article of
Mr.. VOLTS.
First, as touching the opin-
ion of Judge Roam; whether it
is discreet or indiscreet on
the part of the presiding
Judge to express an opinion
on a jury trial has nothing to
do with the verdict of the
jury. If the opinion of the
judge as to the guilt or in
noCence of the accused should
cut any figure with the jury
in their finding a verdict, then
by virtue of that fact, the
judge has overstepped his
prerogative and robbed the
jury of their rights under the
law. In making this state
rnent Of course We refer to
the passing on the facts in
the case. The judge has
nothing more To do with the
facts in a criminal ease as
given to the jury than "A spec
