FOLLY OF SECTIONAL CON-

DEMNATlON.-I have been a most
interested reader of The Day Book
the past summer and consider it one
of the active forces destined to help
bring the race to that long-sought
goal, democracy.
Some of The Forum letters have
been extremely interesting, notably
those of Miss c. H. One, that Of
Thank God, Instead Southerner,"
was most unfortunate, especially as
the name might lead many northern
people to suppose that the ignorant,
cruel and insulting nature displayed
is general in the south. Such is by
no means the fact. Intelligent south
erners condemn the hanging picnic"
and the lynching of Frank as severely
as do northerners. There is probably
no state that is wholly exempt from
disgraceful acts and nothing is so lin-
less and foolish as wholesale con-
demnation of entire sections.
Shall the entire west be condemn
ed because of the massacre at Lud-
low, or the entire east because
Rockefeller resides there? In the
case of Leo Frank, northern man,
apparently with no spite against
Frank, but solely to boost the circula-
ton of his daily paper, is more re-
snonsible than any other one man for
the horrible crime at Marietta.
