CONDEMNATION WILL
NOT SUFFICE
From the Middletown New Era.

From the Middletown New Era.
Ex-Governor Slaton. who >commut-
ed Leo Franks death sentence to
life Imprisonment, on the statement
of the judge who presided at Franks
trial that he was unconvinced of the
prisoners guilt, declares that the
lynching of Frank was a "consum-
mate outrage and every man engaged
in the lynching should be hanged, for
he is an assassin" With this charac-
terization of the mob's act, all who
believe in law and order must agree.
/ Unless the better citizenship of Geor-
1 gia expresses its adherence of the
act in deeds as well as words pub
/ lie Judgment must be that civillza-
ton has broken down in Georgia.
/ Here condemnation of the mob's act
will not suffice. The only thing that
can rehabilitate the State is the ar
rest, conviction and punishment Of
Franks murderers. If the laws Of
/ the State and the authority of its Of
fcials are to be made nugatory at the
will of a mob, Georgia may as well
abandon statehood resume its terri
torial condition, and let Uncle Sam
administer its affairs.

TIE LOSS OF THE Els.

From the New York Tribune.
IL will probably be contended that
the German commander who destroy
ed the helpless E-13 in Danish waters
was but following the example of the
British in the case of the Dresden.
But while there is no doubt that the
Dresden was sunk in neutral waters;
there is every reason TO believe that
Gillian neutrality had been thor
oughly and persistently abused by
the Germans themselves; indeed, II
is probable that the island of Juan
Fernandez had been used as Ger
man base and IL was undoubtedly in
German hands at the time. The abom-
Unable thing about the destruction OF
the E-13 was the wantonness of the
dead. the savagery with which the
German turned his machine guns on
the unfortunate and helpless crew az
ter the vessel had been abandoned.
The murderous method of German
naval officers is one of the most re-
markable phenomena of the present
war. There can be little doubt that
II is deliberate. Quite apart from the
exploits of the submarines. Il is APP
parent that great pride is taken IN
destruction. even when nothing is to
be gained by H. The Germans have
rarely taken prisoners at sea or even
attempted TO make rescues. When
British destroyers set out to pick up
the survivors OF the Butcher the in
cident was described in the Deutsche
Tageszeitung with the contemptuous
remark that they had nothing else
10 do" The deed was regarded in
short, as a confession Of weakness.
In their helplessness on the sea
the Germans seem to have grown des-
perate; but it is peculiarly difficult

fenceless men OF the E-13 because

COMPLICATIONS
OVER SALARY OF
SuPT. OF SCHOOLS

i Will not sign any order to pay
the superintendent of schools at the
rate Of Sl,600 q year if the city Is sued
and the City hall attached, unless {.
majority Of the city council votes TO
increase the appropriation by the
amount that the superintendent SAL
AIRY has been raised" This remark
was made by Mayor Lamb in response
10 a question regarding The recent
communication received by the coun-
cil asking that justice Of the Su-
preIne court be asked for a definition
OF the duties of the city council and
school committee. Several other bills
have been contracted by the commit
tee and held UP by the council, some OF
! which have since been paid &nd others
still unpaid. The salary appropria-
ton for the superintendent, for tt,e
year 1914 was sI.7o0.
The committee base their stand on
the statute governing the "SchooI Tn
lCIs,' which applys TO Gardiner SIS
, they are in q union with the town o.
F&rmtngdal. This law as interprete G
10y the committee gives them the right
10 fix the salary Of The superinten-
Incides as long as the salary fixed il
within the appropriation made by the
council for that specific purpose In
thls case. it exceeds that amount ant.
in has opinion is without the commit
tees defined duties
AS unfolding his stand the mayor
clies Chapter XIII, Sec. / of the city
% .nances which reads as follows:

pend money or make engagements or

ell for the particular object for which
said expenditure or engagement If
made the foregoing limitation. how
ever. shall not apply to those cases
where the statute law makes II thu
imperative duty OF the officers Of the
city TO expend or engage beyond th5
appropriation
Altogether to the iayInan's mind the
affair appears TO pe in somewhat =
