TRAIN CREW LUCKY.

Engineer Fred Thrall and Fireman
Fred Dickman of this city had what the
reporters call "miracuIous escape"
Monday when the passenger train they
were pulling at speed of 30 miles per
hour rounded curve near Belgium
and crashed into the rear end of a
freight train which apparently had no
right to be where it was. The engi.
neer and tiremen both jumped and
Thrall escaped with bruises although
the fireman suffered some sprains and
probably a bone fracture. The engi-
ne went through the first caboose and
smashed the second one in which were
some passengers, but hurt no one on
the freight. Several freight cars were
derailed and the front of the locomo-
tive boiler pushed in. Traffic was held
up three or four hours. The passeng-
er was in charge of conductor Charles
Herman of this city.
The passenger train crew say that
they had the signal for clear block
and that there was no excuse for the
freight to be on the main line. The
conductor of the latter train must have
been experimenting with the old prob
lem of having two bodies occupy the
same space at the same time. The
train crews were very fortunate to get
off as easy as they did.

A SUMMARY OF ARGUM ENTS
AGAINST sen HYGIENE.

AGAINST sen ii 1GI IENE.
Andrew Gillette, a well known law
yer of Denver, has declared that from
the legal standpointno school board is
justified in introducing the teaching of
sex hygiene. "The public school sys-
tem," says Mr.. Gillette, "by constitu-
tion is to deal exclusively with the
mental and intellectual development
Of the child. Morals are based upon
religion. 1t is illegal to teach religion
in the schools, which are open alike to
Jew and Gentle, Protestant and Catho-
lie, and to teach morals is to teach re-
ligion."
Dean Walter Summer of Chicago
says, These problems of sex hygiene
should be discussed with children in
their homes, not in the school rooms.
In the home, when the mother is talk
ing To her daughter, there is a certain
sancity, certain solemnty which can
not be reached in the schooI room
The same will apply TO fathers and
their boys" Dr. Winfield Scott Hail,
professor of physiology in the medical
departme Mt atNorthwestern University
in an address to fathers at the Iowa
state conference of the Young Men 5
Christian Association, went on record
positively as believing that sex truths
should not be taught in the public
schools, Or. Howell T. Pershing OF
the University OF Colorado, a promi-
nGnt alienist has said 81 would hesi-
tate to take class of boys in sex by.

discussion. Leave this subject alone

son for saying so. Go slow about IT.;
wait ten years, and then don't teach
IT, That is my advice to you"
Several prominent members Of
boards Of education in Kansas have m
tied in an open address to all educators
in Kansas, urging them to prevent the
teaching Of sex hygiene in the sch ools
Of that state. The national Federation
of Women's Clubs, at its San Francisco
meeting, declared that to teach sex
hygiene in the public schools is dan
gerous thing. President David Starr
Jordon says. "Let sweet charity han
die this matter, but let the state keep
its hands of"

DREADED DISEASE IN ROCK CO

News of a murder could not have

HOW TO BE POPULAR.

From Concord. n. H.. where he
has been staying for some time be-
cause the authorities feel delicacy
about completely turning him loose
until some legal foTmalities are COM
piled with, comes news of Harry
Thaw. He is getting fat, and taking
long walks every day in the hope of
keeping the embonpoint under meas
ureable control.
Also. his keeper, the amiable Sher-
iff Holman Drew, is going TO an
nounce himself a candidate for the
Republican nomination for governor.
1t is announced confidently. that
Drew's association with Thaw and
the fact that he has made things as
pleasant as possible for his guest,
has added immensely to Drew's popu-
larity throughout the State, and he
is regarded as politically strong by
reason of this fortunate incident.
New Hampshire always has been
pretty thrifty in the matter of milk
ing the summer boarders. A candi-
date who could demonstrate that he
had made a new high record of ex-
tracing money from a boarder
ought to run mighty we'll.

NOW ITS REAL WAR.

On the whole there is less tensity
OF concern about developing condi.
tions in Mexico, largely because the
struggle there has taken on the pro-
portions and quality of real war. Sc
long as it could in reason be charged
that the "constitutionalists" were
merely scattered bands of brigands
aimlessly looting and numbering
without purpose or program, the
American public was naturally
enough insistent that foreign lives
and property in Mexico ought not to
be endangered by such situation.
But today it is very plain that the
operations are on the scale and lines
of real war. Villa and Carranza
have got together and armed and
disciplined, in a remarkably short
time, an army which has demonstra-
ted good capacity for campaigning.
They are pressing their advantages
with skill and care. They will short
ly hold Tampico, Saltillo, and Du-
range, unless there shall be a turn
in the tide which is not forecast
by any signs now on the horizon.
After that, not unlikely, the Mexico
City despotism will collapse of its
own weight and Huerta start to save
his own skin and as much money as
he can lug off with him.
At any rate, the danger of inter-
vention by any European country,
or of conditions compelling interven-
tion by the United States, is very
much less than it was few months
ago. The conditions of civilized war
fare are now approyimated, at least.
There is no particular concern
whether the Carranzistas are recog-
rized as belligerents; they have
proved that they are, by winning all
the battles. They can take care of
themselves, now, recognition or no
recognition.

FIGHTING PICKPOCKETS
IN GAY NEW YORK.

New York is so worried, oppressed
and preyed on by her gentlemanly
pickpockets that a whole new series
Of police and police court regulations
is being put into effect in the effort
. 10 abate the evil. The fact appears
10 have been that the ingenuity of
the light-f9gered, most ably aided
snd abetted by certain lights of the
law, has been too much for the allied
detective and judicial acumen of the
metropolis.
To artistic skill Of a high order in
The actual practice Of their profess
sion, the pickpockets have added the
ability tc worm out of the clutches
Of the law on thos" infrequent oc-
casions when the fates proved un-
kind or the prospective victim too
quick. Hailed to the nearest police
station, the unfortunate crook was
met by a suave and eloquent lawyer,
retained, it is intimated, by the pick
pockets trust, who supplied bail and
managed to obtain postponement
Of the preliminary hearing.
With this advantage gained, the
friends and allies of the accused be-
stirred themselves, brought the pres
sure of appeal, persuasion, bribes
and threats to bear on the complain
ing witness ard in one way or an
ether managed usually to gain their
end. When the grand jury sought to
take up the case of the pickpOcket
there was nobody to give evidence.
# it had progressed beyond this
stage, there was no complainant
when the case was presented to the
trial court. In either event the ac-
cused went free.
New York at last has realized that
this situation involves certain ele-
-=:rHrs of disadvantage, not to say
discomfort. Accordingly, obstacles
are tc be thrown in the way of the
legal representatives, OF the trust
and efforts made to prevent the dis
appearance of complainants; police
departments in other cities have
been asked to supply New York with
descriptions, photographs, Bertillon
measurements and finger prints of
pickpockets in active practice; New

THE FRANK CASE ENTERS
GEORGIA POLITICS.

The bitter acerbities that have
been excited by the case of L. NJ.
Frank, under sentence of death at
Atlanta for the murder of Mary Pha-
gan, are reflected in the action of
the Democratic executive committee
for Cobb county, which has demand
ed that Governor Slaton resign his
Office and devote his whole attention
to his candidacy for the United
States Senate.
The resolutions adopted by the
committee declare that "there is a
growing impression among our peo-
pie that it is the purpose of Governor
Slaton, as last resort, to grant a
pardon to L. M. Frank, who stands
convicted of the murder of little
Mary Phagan. We are reminded of
the fact that Governor Slaton's law
partners are the leading attorneys
for Frank"
The governor has declined to ac-
cede to this demand. In statement
to the public he says:
90 not know the evidence in the
Frank case. Eor its merits. nor whether
it will ever come before me. II is still
in the courts and any consideration by
ms "ould be impossible. / was elected
by the people and have no right to re-
sign exceT: by their consent. II the
sovereign people elect me to another
position. they consent to my resicna-
tion. If they do not wish ME 20 be
Senator, | shall continue IN the Office to
which they cIected me.
The incident is particularly inter-
esting in revealing the condition of
hysteria into which Georgia has been
plunged by the Phagan murder. the
conviction of Frank and the organ
lied ard determined effort to obtain
his liberty. Doubtless politics played
no little part in the action of the
Cobb county committee. Cobb coun-
ty, however, adioins Fulton, in which
Atlanta is situated, and Marietta,
where the resolutions were adopted,
is practically an Atlanta suburb, so
that it is too near the scene to OBJ
viate the conviction that the resolu-
rions denote, if they do not express.
the yet existing public sentiment
against Frank.
They serve to strengthen the con-
viction that justice demands Franl;
be given n new trial. 1t is unlikely,
to say the least of it, that the spirit
of vengeance which hovered over the
earlier trial did not make fairness
and impartiality practically impos-
sible.
