THE SPIRIT OF PREPAREDNEss.

The wave of preparedness which Is
sweeping over the country is manifest
ing itself in the very way best calcu-
lated to produce material as we'll as
widespread and permanent results. The
idea of training camps for business and
professional men. which has found ex-
preston across Lake Champlain at
Pittsburgh, has become a fad in the
better sense of that term. We see the
mayor of New York competing In tests
of Workmanship with some of the sub
ordinate municipal officers of New York
We behold a prominent congressman
from Maryland in the ranks learning
how to shoulder a gun and how to aim
that weapon at mark, The applications
at Plattsburgh have come from polo
players as we'll as others accustomed to
much exercise on horseback, so that
cavalry arm is already being formed
among business and professional men
who need only the military part OF the
training to he adept cavalrymen.
Under these circumstances 1t Is not
strange that similar training camps for
business and professional men are under

FRANK AND LYNCH LAW.

Frank may not have died in vain even
though guiltless The wave Of indigna-
ton which is sweeping over the country
owing to the interest aroused in his
case is stronger than 1t could otherwise
have been and the State of Georgia
will be made to feel the weight of popu-
lar wrath as never before. The fact
that Frank was not only being punished
by life Imprisonment but was also
suffering from senni-decapitation at the
hands of a fellow prisoner, helps to
strengthen the feeling that justice was
outraged by the mob who dragged the
sick prisoner from tho penitentiary and
drove him a hundred miles or so to
strange him to death. after submitting
him to repeated indgnities
The American people as whole now
realize all the horrors of lynch law and
mob rule as never before The Gov
ernor of Georgia realizes that his own
administration as we'll as the State Is
on trial at the bar of national public
opinion. The press of what in the past
has been called the Empire state Of
the South is demanding the punishment
of those who helped murder Frank and
IL Is being seconded by the press of the
whole country.
II the Governor OF Georgia carries out
his announced determination, he will
not rest content until the perpetrators
Of this outrage have been ferreted out
and given the punishment they deserve.
Whetever may have been the errors in
the case of Frank, men had no more
right to murder him than the person or
persons guilty OF the murder OF Mary
Phagan had 20 take her life,
Tho punishment of the persons who
lynched Frank, owing to the conspicu-
Gus publicity tho case has gained. will
do more to discourage lynchng IN the
South than could any other influence
at this time. II this should come about

GOVERN oRsHIP SEEKING THE MAN.

GOvERNORsHIP SEEKING THE MAN.
The absence Of an avowed candidate
for the republican nomination for the
governorship Of Vermont only year
previous to .he lime for naming party
candidates is in marked contrast to con-
ditions existing in other States as we'll
as to previous conditions In this com
monwealth. It will be refreshing for
the office to have free and full oppor-
tunity to seek the man unhampered by
aspirants on the side lines. In this con-
nection the St Johnsbury CALIFORNIAN
