OF the murder of a young girl. refused
TO grant the writ of error and the
verdict OF the Georgia court will be
carried out unless the Governor OF
Georgia intervenes by committing the
sentence imposed on Frank.
The Intelligencer is free 10 confess
that it cannot understand the enforce
ment OF the law where IL has clearly
been shown the accused did not have
a fair and impartial trial. and where
one Of the justices Of the Supreme
Court admitted doubts as to whether
Frank had had due process Of law"
Besides this. there was a cloud of wit.
nesses TO the fact that race prejudice
had more to do with the verdict OF
the jury than the application OF sim
pie justice. II is not likely that the
Governor OF Georgia will give the con
victed man the benefit of the doubt
when the Supreme Court has sus-
tanned the sentence Of the lower court.
The outrageous sentiment that intlmi-
dated the lower court will. in all prob

MORE ECONOMY

The country Is not encouraged TO
hope for any serious exemplifcatiou
OF economy that has been promised
by the administration. II the estimates
OF expenditures submitted by the
Secretary of the Treasury to Congress
yesterday is any indication. These
estimates OF appropriations for the
ensuing year are but SIS. 900. 900 short
OF the amount appropriated by the pre-
vious session OF Congress. when they
exceeded the highest mark OF the last
Republican Congress by 100000. 600.

economists can do in the cutting line

Payment Of Subscriptions
to The Lanbertyille Record
Last Fall when we announced our plan
to put the Record subscription list on the
Casf1=inadvanCe basis, many said we could
not do it.
Eighty per cent of them are now on that
basis. During March we will notify those
who are in arrears, and if we don't hear
from them, either with cash or promise to
pay later, they will be dropped from the
list on April IS.
This is no reflection upon anybody's
credit, but plain business proposition
that appeals to most people. Once we get
this twenty per cent Strengthened out we
will be able to stop all subscriptions when
they expire, unless renewed.
One dollar pays you up to October |, IA,
if your subscription expired at any time
before Oct. |, 1913. If since that, your dol
lar pays you one year ahead of whatever
the date is.
