Justice.
NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., March IS
To the Editor OF The Bee: Although /
haven't the> vote, have an opinion. It
Is in this instance in regard to the case OF
Leo Frank viii you permit rne TO cx-
press Il in your paper? / am glad 70
say that have never found one unjust
sentence in all the editorials and COM
ments contained in your paper. Many
cases in many courts in the United
States have been justly dealt with, but
OF those cases which seem to me very
unjust wish TO speak.
No man. whether jew of Gentle sh 1u:d
be hung or otherwise put to death, when
the evidence OF guilt is oircumstantial.
Imprisonment for life would be far more
Just. II would give the real murderer,
whether the accused or another, time to
confess his guilt. and be repentant. Where
there is an eve witness or the accused Is
known to be vicious and the death OF the
victim would have been of great benefit
20 the accused, then death Ia the best
safeguard for society.
In the unprejudiced mind there is no
justice in hanging Leo Frank, accused of
killing a girl (whom a negro found and
reported) In the factory where Frank is a
superintendent. II some Of the evidence
does look dark for him most of 1t looks
like he is innocent OF this crime.
A few cases where justice Gas not done
are as follows:
Not long ago a man % was convicted
OF killing a dancing teacher and also
confessed to having killed twelve other
women, He seemed proud OF the fact and
Dragged OF how easily he committed
/ the murders This person II seems Is TO
be given a new trial and II freed will
he has promised-enter the ministry,
Another was the. case OF a woman to
be hung because her lover killed her
husband. and justice pretends 20 be very
lenient and long suffering for waiting for
this woman's baby TO be born before they
hang her. She had no direct hand In the
murder and II she know OF It and con-
sented to II imprisonment for life would
be the Just sentence
Another was the case OF a woman TO
town picknichng: A man goes scott
free. although admitting his guilt and
every bit OF evidence points TO his guilt II
carrying his own newborn baby around
for hours In a closed suitcase TIM il
died, simply because this grown man.
this unnatural father, did not take this
defenceless babe and choke II with his
two bis hands he walks the streets a
free man.
Has Justice, pure. true and righteous
departed from the earth? II il has can
tell you why. Not long ago there was
talk OF emitting the words In God We
trust" from the new money TO be coined
by the United states mint. II this is done
should there not be a law made causing
the truth to appear where these words
were: II should read: In gold We
trust"
What does Il meant When any coun-
try is In danger OF forsaking justict and
mercy and setting up the golden calf OF
cOmmercialism Justice has a small place
Ia that country and the end OF its great
ness Is not far
So let as an see 20 il that justice gel

The Proposed Art Home,


OMAHA, March 1S-To the Editor OF
The Bee As long as the members a
the Fine Arts society confined 20 their
own members the solicitation Of funds
for club house II was their affair eltne,
but when they ask the public Tor money
not only for the institution itself, but for
the necessary yearly maintenance fund.
the wisdom OF the proposed enterprise
becomes a question open 20 discussion.
BY the terms of his will MIR. Turner
provided 5000 a year for The bare main
tenance OF the property until sold. This
probably does not provide for watering
the lawn in summer and 'he chances
are the maintenance of this property as
an art home will entail n minimum an
nual Upkeep OF 5000 or 400.
The hope OF any substantial returns
from rental is an iridcscent dream. How
can the yearly expenditure Of such a sum
he justified on the basis Of what 'he So
ciety has done for art in Omaha nnd in
view OF the fact that there are no specific
demands upon the society shat cannot be
well met with the present facillties3
What would be the answer IL the Men
delssohn choir, for instance, with it's
magnificent record Of performance were
10 ask for a home The upkcep alone of
which would be from $500 tp s7,OOO a
year? Surely there Is no comparison e.
tween what the Mendelssohn choir Tueans
to this city and what a fine arts home
would mean.
Would II not be a great deal better TO
use that 5000 a year, which the main
teuance alone OF the home would cost, in
getting creditabie exhibits OF paintings
and encouraging the establishment Of a
good school for art IN Omaha?
There are only two ways for an in
dividual or community 10 become appre-
ciative Of art. One is by frequent exhibits
Of meritorious pictures that teach the
eye to understand color. and the other is
by teaching people the art Of drawing end
painting.
The Commercial clubs list Of endorsed
philanthropic and charitable organiza-
tions and amounts expected to be ralred

This does not include a number Of

The fact that It is not year since the
