The Army and the People.


While all details OF the storm experiences of
Texas people have not as yet been given out,
such information as has come from the region
swept by the terrible hurricane shows the United
States army was again an agency OF mercy and
relief. Nowhere did the storm hit harder and
in no place was the loss more complete than in
and around the camp of the Fourth infantry at
Texas City. across the bay from Galveston, but
right here the orderly procedure, born of mill
tary discipline and training, proved OF the ut
most service. Before communication was fully
established with headquarters, the soldiers Of
the regiment we're engaged In the work OF assist
ing the citizens OF the devastated district. From
military stores blankets and rations we're pro-
vlded. and in many ways the army contributed
TO the relief of suffering that might have been
much more severe. had IL not been for the pres
ence OF the regulars" This Is only OF
many records of similar service that mark the
history OF the United States army, and add to
the luster OF its name. The regular As a
mighty helpful chap and good to have at hand

Catholic Logic.

OMAHA, Aug. A.-To the Editor OF The
Bee: In regard to the editorial In the
True Voice" which you so vigorously
condemn: The article in question does
not "sympathize with or condone" the
lynchlng of Leo Frank. You quote: ut
(the lynchlng) was crime; but is was
no worse than hundreds of other such
crimes that have been committed even in
northern states" Certainly this Is
moderate statement of a known truth.
Men have been lynched in Nebraska
without having a trial of any kind;
whereas, Frank not only had mis- trial.
but the higher courts were exhausted in
a vain effort to procure second trial.
But you say that ITO suggest that Frank
had not a fair trial is an improved as
sumption Is an inSIlt to popular in
telliEence." Herein you appeal from the
decision of the Georgia jury. from the
trial Judge and from the United States
supreme court (only two of the judges
dIssentedD to that nebulous something
popular intelligence Why, It was
popular intelligence" that lynched Leo
Frank after the governor. who studied the
case thoroughly. had committed his SEN
tence. Again. you fall OF logic when you
pOiat to the fact that fellow convict
stabbed Frank as being a proof of the
latter's innocence. II proves nothing.
Your editorial concludes with q subtle
insinuation that all peoples In fear Of
persecution Jews. Catholics and negroesl
should unite against the courts whenever
a person accused of crime raises the cry
OF prejudice. To assume Franks inno-
eeDce after conviction and to foster an
organised, nationwide criticism OF the
Georgia courts was improper. As able 4
lawyer as K. G. MeGilton recently pointed
out that indiscriminate petitionlng after
the courts have acted IL destructive TO
the respect which courts must retain.
In the instant case, as Father Cannon
suggests. II probably helped TO inflame

Nsor-sih. 1. safety First.

OMAHA, Aug. 2L-To the Editor OF
The Bee: After reading the statement
of the secretary of the Street Railway
company regarding the near-slde stop for
the trolley cars, am convinced the
street Railway company intends to make
this safe and sane" regulation as odious
and inconvenient for the people as 1t can
This near-side stopping has been in
vogue in practically all the larger cities
of the country for several years, and has
proved a complete success.
In opposing this necessary regulation
in Omaha, the company evidently
realizes that to make it success it
will have to rebuild it's cars so as to
conform with the convenience Of the
passengers for the near-side stop. and to
my mind this is the secret of the COM
pany's opposition TO this plan. that has
proven such a great aid TO the safety
first" movement elsewhere.

STATE SENATOR BUCHANAN

Senatorial District in the upper branch
accepted by Governor Stuart yester-
day.
Senator Buchanan is retiring from
the legislative body to devote his whole
time TO his duties counsel for the
Federal Reserve Board at WASHINGTON
He was recently appointed to the po-
sltion. II is not necessary for the
senator to resign, al under the law his
new position is not classed as a public
office. Senator Buchanan, however.
represents district in which there is
a large Republican vote. The hostile
political element in the district would
no doubt question the propriety of his
return to the State Senate. while re-
tanning place of emolument under
the Federal Reserve Board. Hence
his friends agreed with him that the
party interests would be better served
by his retirement. although he has
been regarded as one of the ablest
legislators in the General Assembly
since he first took his seat.
