The Case of Leo Frank.

The case of Leo Frank, convicted
in Georgia of murder, which now
comes before the United States SUI
preme court in the shape of habeas
corpus proceedings, comes pretty
near being a trial of the constitution
CT the United States, with the high
est court divided against itself as to
power to render complete justice.
On previous appearance before the
United States supreme court, the lat
ter refused to interfere with the ac-
tion Of the lower courts, although
Justice Holmes took occasion to re-
mark that Frank had evidently been
convicted without "due process of
law In other words, it is all right
to hang Frank in defiance of his con-
stitutional rights. And the court in
whose especial care the constitution
is supposed to rest is powerless to
interfere.
There is no honest court on Gods
earth but will decide that Frank did
not have a fair trial, says the Mad
ison State Journal. 1t is not dispu-
ted that the trial judge and the jury
were in a state of terror lest the
verdict should not be guilty Of mur-
der in the first degree. Frank was
hated because he was successful Jew
and the atrocity of the crime aroused
public clamor for bloody vengeance
All the circumstances have a Rus
sian odor.
While this case has aroused uni
versal interest, the guilt or inno-
cence of Frank is no longer the main
question. On one hand we have pub
lie clamor for a mans life, defeat
ing a fair trial. On the other hand
we have the highest court in the
land powerless through technical en-
tanglements to secure for citizen e
fair trial for his life.
Mistakes of the court of final re-
sort in arriving at justice may be un-
avoidable, and they may be forgiven,
but when the court for any reason
admits that it is powerless to protect
any man, Jew or Gentle, in his con-
stitutional right to fair trial for his
life, the odium is smeared on the con-
stitutiOn.

CRITICAL MOMENTS.
What the war teaches.

Every life has it's critical moments.
There are times when mans health
is staked upon the care he gives to
it within a few hours. His system

bilious poison and lungs or skin af-
fected.
Twenty-four hours after you start
to take DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, poisonous matter and
blood impurities begin to leave your
body through the Liver, Bowels, Kid
neys and Skin.
So powerfully penetrating is this
purely vegetable remedy that through
the circulation of the blood it
reaches every fibre. muscle and joint,
dissolves the poisonous secretiOns
and drives them out Of the body.
1t brings new activity to the liver,
stomach and bowels in short time,
thus causing sallowness. indigestion
and constipation to disappear.
1t enters the tiny blood vessels of
the skin, bringing with it fresh vi
talizer blood, and abiding faith in
its wonderful cleansing power has
come to thousands, when pimples.
boils, carbuncles, rash, eczema, acne
and other skin troubles dry up and
disappear.
Good blood means good health !;
good health means strong men and
women, full of vigor and ambition,
with minds alert and muscles ever
willing. Any medicine dealer will
supply you with DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery in either liquid or

buxom wife, was helped to the front

with cushions and shawls. In a big
rocking chair the convalescent was
made comfortable, with cushions at
head and feet and the shawls tucked
carefully around her.
You're sure you're warm enough ?"
queried Mrs. Hedges, with needless
anxiety.

Mrs. Hedges gave a last pat to the

the risk out Of swimming holes; that
is, all extraordinary risk. He proposes
to equip the swimming holes Of Day

weeping now for the Joy awaiting

carefully, through the old village and
across the bridge until he came to its

The mills were no longer lifeless
