Especial Cable to Tho Times Dispatch
LONDON. March 20.-Although only
three days old. the government plan
to mobilize 100000 women for war
service Us making great strides. AL
ready thousands Of women have en-
rolled at the various government Of

and It is confidently anticipated the
whole million will be obtained within

All classes are responding to tho call

ment in the following article:
ny EMILINE PANKHURsT.
History is in the making In the
state call to women for war service.
and women will welcome It with all
their hearts. 1t Is the chance they
long have been awaiting. The gov
ernments decision to mobilize women
for the nation. so men may be set free
to fight. will have very far-reaching
moral effect
For the first time in the history OF
warfare, the need of the service Of
woman. in order that the full strength

ficially acknowledged.
This acknowledgment will give nll
women sense of dignity and respon-
sibility. which Is of vital Importance
in the present national crisis.
The response which i am confident
women will make Will be excellent in

At present many OF them imagine

When 1t is shown that the women arc
able and willing to undertake tho work

readily do It.
There always has been terrible
waste OF human material where women
are concerned. This is due mainly to
prejudice, Ignorance and selfish mo-

SEEK PARDON FOR LEO. FRANK;
ONLY HOPE FOR LIFE; PLEA
SENT TO STATE GOVERNOR

Atlanta, Ga.-Although the highest
court In the land has decreed that he
must pay the death penalty for the
murder of little Mary Phagan, Leo
Frank has not given up his fight. His
attorneys are now busy On new plans,
and the young man, condemned to the
gallows, Is stiH hopeful. The supreme
court of the United States In deciding
that his trial had been fair, that the
jury had not been Influenced by public
sentiment, apparently blasted his last
hope.
There was one ray of light, however.
He could appeal to the governor of
Georgia for clemency, but there was
no further legal action apparent.
All the nation watched this case
closely. Friends of Frank held that
race prejudice entered into the trial.
Frank is Jew. Hundreds of letters
are pouring into the office of the gov
ernor of Georgia asking for a pardon
or for commutation of the sentence to
life Imprisonment
Frank was manager and also a share
holder in pencil factory at Atlanta.

PeriIous Experiments.

Even fungi collectors seem generally
agreed that there Is really no trust
worthy test for distinguishing whole
some from dangerous mushrooms be-
yond the old Baeonian method of OBJ
and experiment. Toward the
end Of the eighteenth century Curtis,
the original compiler of 'Flora Londi-
nensis," adopted an ingenious device
for determining whether fungi were
edible or poisonous. He tried every
suspected fungus, not "on the dog" but
upon his gardenersl What happened

LEO FRANK.
| Mary Phagan, fourteen years of age,
was employed in the factory. She call
| ed on holiday to collect her wages
and falling to reappear at her home,
search was instituted and at 3 o'clock
| the following morning her body was
| found in a remote part of the plant,
showing evidence of murder and as
sault.
Suspects were taken in by the police,
and then suspicion attached to Frank.
J He was convicted mainly on the testi-
mony of Jim Conley, negro, who said
he had helped Frank to dispose of the
body after the murder Local senti-
ment was against the prisoner almost
from the start. Remarkable stories of
his alleged immortality were told.
The defense tried to fasten the crime
on Conley, the negro, who was an en-
ployee Of the factory. A note which
purported to have been written by the
murdered girl just before her death
was link in the testimony. 1t was
found torn In scraps near her body and
purported to be addressed to her moth
er, In which she charged the crime on
negro without naming him.
| The handwriting bore slight resen-
blance to Franks writing, but Conley
after first denying that he wrote the
note or that he was in the factory on
| the day Of the murder, finally con
| fessed that he wrote the note, but at
| the direction of Frank
| Leo NJ Frank is a native of Brook
lyn, graduate of the Brooklyn high,
school, who won scholarship in Co..
nell university and is also well edu-
Gated along technical lines. He has
family in Atlanta and up to the time
| Of the murder had reputation general
| ly In the community of being a success
| full business man Of good moral reputa~
| ton.
| The courtroom was crowded in antici-
lpation of decision in the Frank case
and many people stood in line outside
unable to gain admission. Since the
case has been before the supreme court
nation wide agitation has been carried
on In favor of the prisoner, and it was
evident that his friends were many and
influential and that money was not be-
ling spared In an effort to influence pub
| b sentiment In favor of the prisoner.

The City Elections.

The citizens Of Aberdeen in the com.
ing elections owe a duty to them
selves to scrutinize the candidates for
ONCE as to qualifications and fitness
a. we'll as motives for seeking the po-
sitions.
There is no Office to be filled that
shoul attract by reason of the salary
Attached-that is, should attract COM
petent person. Yet we find candidates
galbre, the fit and the unfit! Under
our ward system, many causes that
are purely local place man on the
council, to legislate for the entire city,
and we all pay for his mistakes Of
judgment, or otherwise.
The class of men attracted by the
trifling salary of councilman would
be dear at any price, What is needed
is q deeper sense Of municipal patriot
ism among the business element of the
city. The capable man of business is
disinclined to seek such position and
seldom reasons that his lament about
high taxes is primarily founded upon
that Discrimination.
The average city council has not
placed the standing of that body upon
a plane that the suitable man would
seek as a position of honor, yet as a
purely business proposition it should
appeal to that very man.
We have witnessed in the past two
years the services Of man. who,
seeks no profit, directly or indirectly.
We allude to Mayor France. Two
years ago, the Herald opposed the cleo.
ton of Mr.. France. That opposition
was based upon previous admins
tration, in which his private business
affairs caused, what seemed to US, a
neglect Of ofiicial duty. In the past
two years. Mayor France has proved
tho wisdom Of the people in his cleo
tion. He has given the affairs of the
city almost his undivided attention,
ana to his efforts the Taxpayers owe

ago was regarded - impossible The

ReaetlonarIes In Control.

Fears expressed by The Spokesman.
Review that the reactionary element
In the republican party would misread
the lessons Of the recent election in
this state seem only too well found
ed. The state central committee,
meeting in Tacoma recently, went
even further in its attack on the di.
rect primary than the progressives
had feared. The committee gave its
approval to the Whitney bill, which
would require the holding Of county
and state conventions, to be author
lied by law to resume duties hereto
fore and usually held and performed
by state conventions"
That signifies the practical abolition
! Of the direct primary in this state, and
the reactionary, spirit Of the state COM
mittee was further revealed in it's ap-
parent approval of primary amend
ment proposed by Senator Sharpstein
of Walla Walla entirely to abolish
primary nomination of candidates.
The Whitney bill goes to the length
Of requiring candidates to swear to
support the platform, a degree of
party dict:,.on hitherto unheard of in
the United States. Since the platform
would be drafted by a little coterie.
and adopted in haste and confusion by
the convention, candidates would stand
answerable to party machine in
stead as now, to the public and their
conscience.
What is the state committee aiming
at? Has it set out to drive out of the
republican party those former pro-
gressives who drifted back in the re-
cent campaign, and with them host
of progressive republicans who staid
with the party after the break of 1912?
If that is it's purpose it is sing most
effective means to attain its end.-Spo-
kane Spokesman-Review (Rep.).
