MARY PHAGAN's MESSAGE

You care a lot about me, you men of
Georgia, now that / am dead.
You have spent thousands of dollars
trying to learn who mutilated
my body.
You have filled columns of your
newspapers with the story of
my wrong.
You have broken into a prison and
murdered a man that i might
be avenged.
But why did you not care for me
when l was alive?
| was a child, but you shut me out
of the daylight.
You held me within four walls, watch
ing a machine that crashed
through the air,
Endlessly watching a knife as it cut
out a piece of wood.
Noise fills the place-noise, dust, and
the smell of oil.
| wish some of the thousands of dol
lars that you spent on the trial
might have kept me in school,
A real school, the kind you build for
the rich.
l worked through the hot August
days
When you were bossing the girls, or
shooting birds,
Or lounging in doorways cursing the
niger;
And you never paid me enough to buy
a pretty dress.
You sometimes spoke coarsely to me
when / went to and from my
work;
Yes, you did, and 1 had to pretend
liked it.
Why did you despise me living and
yet love me so now?
/ think / know. 1t is like what the
preacher told me about Christ:
People hated him when he was alive,
But when he was dead they killed
man after man for his sake.
Mary White Ovington, in the New
Republic.
The Miami Metropolis comments on
the poem as follows:
Mary Phagan left a message for
the men of Georgia that is told in this
poem we quote.
The Metropolis re-publishes that
poem in the hope that every worth
while paper in the South will do like
wise. 1t would be good to see it in
every paper in the South, no matter
how that paper has stood toward the
corruption that furnished funds for
the defense of Leo Frank-because it
brings out into the light of truth a
state of affairs that good men must
remedy.
1t is fine to talk of "chivalry"; it is
beautiful to see a man hold off his
hat in courtly Difference to the women
of the South; but a chivalry that per-
mits women to toll for wages that
mean starvation or ruin, or chivalry
that must require high caste on the
part of women for its exhibition; this
is a chivalry that can bring nothing
but scorn from real men.
If "women-folks" are dragged down
by labor and pitiful home conditions;
| if little children are permitted to
work in factories or in the cotton
fields, deprived of education, depriv-
ed of wholesome play, deprived OF
nourishing food, deprived of loving
care-then the "men-folks" of a com.
lmonwealth, no matter how far they
lare removed from association with
this stratum of society, should moi
talk of chivalry or of "avenging WON.

The wet or dry election in South
Carolina is probably the most mark
ed victory the prohibitionists have
won. The dry majority was unusually
large in proportion, five out of every
seven votes being for prohibition.
The new law will go into effect Jan.
1, 1915, and will eliminate the dispen-
sary system made famous Sby Ben
Tillman almost quarter of century
ago. There is no danger, however, of
anyone in South Carolina dying from
snakebite. Each person will be al
lowed to import one gallon of redeye
a month, and that should be enough
for any temperate man.

A great proportion of the money of
the world is coming to the United
States for war munitions. When the
great war ends, this country will be
rich, and it must occur to any sensi-
bic American that if it remains de-
fenseless some of the impoverished
but armed and war-hardened nations
may send their armies and navies
here to retake as much of the wealth
as they can.

Ambassador Bernstorff told news
paper men in New York Wednesday
that he expected all differences be-
tween this country and Germany to
be settled in a fortnight. This sounds
nice, but from what has already hap
pened we can see that Bernstorff's s
country does not always fulfill his
promises. Also, there is a suspicion
that Bernstorff does not always say
just what he means.
