rRANK An ms REsPlTE.

THOUSANDS Of Americans who believe in the inno-
cence Of Leo NJ Frank, of Atlanta, Ga, alleged
slayer OF Mary Phagan. factory girl delighted
that his appeal to the United States Supreme Court not
only has prevented his execution next month under the
Georgia conviction but also gives him assurance
that the entire record in the celebrated murder
will be reviewed by that tribunal.
Frank has persistently asserted his innocence of
the crime for which he has been convicted. He has
made great fight for life in the face of tremendous
odds IT, through any proceeding, he succeeds in
showing his innocence Of the brutal crime of which
he stands convicted Americans generally will be wen
pleased as no fair-minded American desires that any
innocent person shall be punished by state Federal
process

millions Of our citizens. as for in
stance. the prohibition of shipments
Of cotton to Germany until few
days ago, the prohibition on copper
and rubber now.
The world can no longer permit
the dictation Of any belligerent nation
as TO what shall be shipped or shall
not be shipped by neutrals upon the
high seas.
No medieval ban upon commerce Of
the peaceful nations should have
force in the twentieth century, aud
the cdicts of Paris or Berlin, of vi
emma or st. Petersburg, of Tokyo
and London, should not be permitted
to prevent the fishermen of Norway,
Denmark, Holland. and Sweden from
supplying the world with food from
the oceans. nor the merchants of
those countries from safe and free
intercourse with the ports of other
neutral nations.
The products Of the nitrate fields
Of Chile, the cotton plantations of the
Southern States, the grain fields of
Argentine, the copper mines OF Peru
and Montana and Arizona should not
be kept from any market in the wide
world by the command of any ruler
on the face of the earth.
Here is an issue that affects all
countries; that is today destroying
commercial interests in every port,
agricultural interests in many ma
tions. industries, both upon land and
upon the sea.
Twenty-One republics of America
have voiced their dissatisfaction with
existing conditions; nations in every
continent are suffering from these in
furious acts OF belligerent powers.
The government OF the United States
should he prompt to lead in the inter-
national protest against these repre-
/ hensible acts and proceedings.
Let the doctrine Of a commerce
freed from the dictation Of any bell
ligerent be placed quickly in the
worlds recognized code of the rights
of neutrals.
Let the United States Of America
voice strongly its own determination
TO effect this change and let il CO.
operate with the other countries that
are suffering from the acts Of the
! warning powers.

BASEBALL MEETING TONIGHT
FANS WILL GATHER AT CITY
HALL TO DISCUSS BASEBALL
AND ATHLETICS

"Shall we have baseball during the
1914 season3' is the question which
will come up for discussion at meet
ing Of the fans of this city, called for
this evening at the city hall. It is
the desire of the managers Of the 1913
team to have every person who is in
terested in the national game attend
che meeting and give his ideas in the
matter.
Last year the lovers of baseball in
this city were given a fine class of
ball, and even though the expense was
heavy everyone was satisfied and the
demand this year seems to be for a
salaried team and have Sunday base
ball and at least two evening games
each week for two months. Chas. Sly
vester has received letters from sew
eral Of the old players, asking that
they be given a position on the team il
the city decides to have salaried
bunch. Several neighboring towns
contemplate having salaried teams,
which will play week games. Among
these are Long Prairie and Crosby.
Brainerd and st. Cloud favor a Sun
day league but this is out Of the ques-
tion with local fans as it has proved to
be failure.
There has been some talk Of organic.
ing an athletic organization in the
city. The object Of this organization
would be to promote baseball, basket
ball, football, wrestling matches, box
ing matches, track meets, pole vault
ing, etc., and for which anyone who
would be interested would be eligible
This matter will probably be taken up
at the meeting and discussed. The
main reason for calling the meeting is
to decide whether Little Falls is tt
have baseball during the season OF
1914, and it's up to you, Mr.. Baseball
Fan, to come to the meeting and give
your opinion.
