MOTHER JONES.

(By Ellis Harris.)
Dear Mother, ours, your martyrdom
Shall prove the FOOLS undoing,
The clarion call, the beat of drum,
The minds of men imbuing,
The minds of men and women too,
With hearts too brave to tremble,
Best comrades, stanch and loyal as
you,
Who to our cause assemble.
o no, our hearts no blood lust Graves
But shall we shun the battle
And hear the yoke as cringing slaves
Dumb as the driven cattle,
Where patriots" sleek scoundrels
teach
OF Freedom, like no other"

DEATH
(BY Clarence Chnrchl

tBy tlhItuCe t0uTCn,J
He lay dying on his bed-that great
expensive bed with the golden knobs
GROWING the four posts of hand
carved oak. His check was worth
millions of dollars; he owned hun
dreds of thousands of acres of timber
lands, hundred thousand men toiled
in his mills and mines, and hewed his
trees. lie was BIG MAN.
Yet he was dyingl All his money
all his timber, all his mines and mills
and men couldn't keep him alive. The
greatest doctors in the world couldn't
keep the breath of life in him.
And as he lay there on that beauti-
full bed dying, he thought of all he
had done, and wretched look of des-
pair came over his wthered face.
After all these years of grab, what
had he accomplished? Nothing!
The men who .toiled and sweated in
ting darkness and dampness Of his
Mines the women who were obliged
to forsake their homes and babies to
slave in his factories and shops; the
little children who had bent their poor
little backs over his looms; who had
had their young lives stinted and de-
formed, torn away from home and
school, and the fresh air, to sweat
mid the grind and roar and rush OF
this mans machinery: All these it
were, who, goaded on by the iron hand
of want and hunger, had done 1t all.
They must work to eat! And SO he
became rich and great"
And what had he done? What use
full function had he performed In the
interests of humanity? NOTHING!
He saw now how empty 1t all was.
He had been a robber, a tyrant, per-
haps a murderer.
The great dark cloud OF death was
closing in around him. He felt Deaths
chilly fingers upon his forehead.
Death was close, was wrapping the
folds of its terrible cloak about him,
smothering him.
Money! How useless! How dirty
How awful!
The roar of machinery, the hack
hack of axes biting into the trees, the
means of tired men, the curses of the
oppressed, the white slaves of indus
try: the wall OF mothers, the cries OF
little children-what maddening,
horrifying din they made in his weary
ears.
The men who had taken their slen-
der pay-envelopes at his mills and
mines and factories; the women who
had ground away day after day in his
sweat shops; the children who were
grown prematurely old in his service
not one of all this great army was
here near his death bed. Beside him
now were only those whose hands
were itching for his dirty gold, whose
only love was the love for filthy lucre.
They drew near unto the old man
who was breathing his last.
"All empty! All empty-and-
vain" murmured the dying man.
Those waiting did not understand.

Mr. brisbane and Mr.. Ochs are now bed
fellows: the Hearst papers and the Ochs
papers are working hand in glove to defeat
the law, to defeat justice, and to save a per-
vert whose crime is as foul as that Of any
negro rapist in the history of our State.
"Ihe State of Georgia is on trial" says the
Rabbi, says Ochs, says Burns, say the Hearst
papers.
All right: zoe accept the challenge! The
State of Georgia IS on trial; and we will
demonstrate to the world that all the money
which Burns can lift out of the rich Hebrews
of Atlanta and New York, shall not prevent
us from meeting out equal and exact justice
to the degenerate Jew, Leo Frank
We did not spring the race issue. Frank
himself did it. After his case was finally
adjudicated in the Supreme Court, the food
gates Of garrulity burst open, and a torrent of
talk overdowed the country. Frank talked for
publication: his attorneys talked; his editors
talked; his 'strikers' talked: and then came
the Great Detective, who not only talked
necessarily himself, but kept the other takers
talking, until the rising tide of verbosity not
only submerged the old landmarks in Geor-
gia, but drifted its fotsam and jetsam to the
uttermoSt regions of the censorious North
Whatever could be said that would defame
the people Of Atlanta and the judiciary of the
and it all emanated from the same fountain
head in Atlanta. Never before did any crimi-
nal who had exhausted in his own behalf, every
known right, privilege and precedent of the
law, resort to such a systematic and UMPIRE
cedented crusade against civilized tribunals,
orderly methods, and legally established
results.
IF Franks lawyers, detectives and newspa-
pers are to have their way, then the Code, the
Jury System-proud achievements Of the most
illustrious lawyers that ever lived-will have
suffered a degradation not known since the
packing of juries in the New Orleans cases. a
decade ago, so Infatuated the people, that they
rose in their wrath and wreaked vengeance
upon those Italian assassins.
During all the stormy times of the Pitt
Eldon regime in England, our jury system
rode tl.iumphantly through it's dangers. One
intrepid lawyer, Erskine, was able to vindi-
cate the noble truth that the effort of our
judicial system is to get tacezUe honest men 5o
the jury 6or.
So proud was Erslzine Of the fact that our
system, had come out of the terrible ordeal
untarnished and with added glory, he took
for his motto, to be emblazoned on the panels
of his carriage
"z'rjaJ By jury."
That which the most consummate of Eng
lish advocates gloried in, aoe are asked to be
ashamed of; and we are asked to condemn the
verdict Of Franks jury, when Frank himself
is utterly unable to show that the law did not
give him the ta0ezve honest men IN the Boa.

more did 1t haze to g5ve?

zen of Georgia. He came of his own free will.

trial. Did the three negroes have one?
IL Frank did not have a fair trial, it is
passing strange that his able lawyers could
not specify the unfairness.

behalf, says, IAN execution is so desperately

In all the cruel, cruel annals of crime, there

impure man to get her pay-and was left in

Jane Adams says that "an execution is
desperately irrevocable:" Nary Phagan found
1t so.

because Of the 1ce-trust greed and criminality

the papers every morning. with Just such SEN

underground machinery think most effective.
That they have muzzled the three Atlanta
dailies, counts for little. It may even be
money unwisely spent Those three Atlanta
papers are VIGOROUSLY purchasable. They are
open, or silent partners In this Burns-Felder
campaign for Frank just as they were in the
Felder-Seeley campaign for Charles W.
Morse
The methods are exactly the same The
dali story in the papers, is of the same
faith and order. The fagitous disregard for
truth is the same. The insolent assumption
that the public is a gullibe goose, is exactly
the same. And the success of the fraud may
be the same.

are drawn astray by scsne irresistible tcmpta-

But for the man who waylays the road, or

go to bed-and whose lamp shows him to the
coward outside-I have no pity whatsoever.
When the Striplings escaped the gallows,
the courts furnish another Illustration of the
extreme tendency of jurors to be lenient.
So, in a case like Franks, where married
man, a college bred man, man Of the most
creditable connections, deliberately lives a
double life, debases himself to unnatural and
inordinate lusts, and sets himself to the foul
purpose Of entrapping the one pure girl who
was trying to save herself to be some good

Smoking Prohibited.

The business woman Monday stormed
and carried the last stronghold Of the
federal government where there has
been sex discrimination among en-
ployees. For the frat time since its or
ganization, more than score Of years
ago, two women took the oath of Office
as employees of the interstate commerce
commission This branch OF the govern
mental service has been the only one
where they were barred
Until the present time the interstate
commerce commission has becn the only
buran of the government in the Offices
of which men were permitted to smoke.
To make way for the entrance of women
employees a. rule has been formulated,
whereby smoking will be forbidden in
the room assigned the newcomers. The
nonsmokers have been segregated and
transferred to that room. Those who use
the weed have been located elsewhere.
Thus, the women will not be annoyed
by tobacco fumes.
The explanation gwen for the long
barring of women from the interstate
commerce commission is that they have
not been available for the duties here
tofore imposed. Necessity has required
the use Of men because thy must go on
travling assignments, conduct investiga~
tions, and perform other labor where q
woman would be out Of place.--Wash-

BONDS SHOULD WIN.

doubt as to the necessity of extend
inp the water and sewer systems and
Of obtaining an additional water sup

bond issue will win by big majority
because no sentiment against it has de-
veloped.
Long before the present commissions
ers went into office it was understood
by all of our citizens that steps must
be taken TO improve the water supply
and to make secure those water rights
which the city has long owned, but
which have been claimed by private in
terests.
The Tribune urges that tho qualified
voters cast their ballots for the bond
issue today. They will be doing them
selves and their city a great service.

of the city will be checked, II they
