John MI. SlatOn Never Tells
These!
These!

DOSING for the moving picture shows,
and gabbling to every reporter that
comes along, our fugitive Ex-Governor tells
everything about the Frank case, excepting
few things like the following:
a. That the colored countess who
cooked for Frank swore that Frank was
wildly drunk on the night of the Saturday
he murdered Mary Phagan, and that he
raved about the crime, and called for his
pistol, in order that he might put an end to
his life
(2) That Franks wife had to sleep on
the floor that night, and she aoas so Mortified
at has confession she aoouzclut go to him at
the Jail for three aoeehs
with strange perversity, the Kansas City
Star continues to say that the wife of Frank
was with him every day after his arrest.
On page 218, of the official Brief of Evi-
dence, the Star will see Franks attempt to
explain achy his wife wouldn't come about
him. He said he didn't want her passing
through a group of reporters, snap-shotters,
and policemen.
In the Atlanta papers, Franks rabbi,
Marx, published the explanation that Mrs.
Frank wouldn't go to see her husband at the
gall because she expected him to be turned
loose every day.
The truth is, three Jews of Franks fam

of the public schools, by submitting to
Book-trust robbery, and School Board ex-
actions, at the same time that you tax the
plowman, and provide educational luxuries
for the well-to-do?
oh my friends, 1t IS NOT right!
The Law of 1877 never dreamed of such
a situation as we now have: it was expected
that the University should be maintained
on its then basis and that the public schools
should gi0o free education en- the English
gWdin2ents.
Never for one day has the Constitution
been respected and carried out
Never for one day, have the people had
what the highest law says they shall have.
The Book Trust clears profit of Sill
100000 a year, and Just such men as NJ L.
Britain contribute nightly to that mhozy
spoil arruog from the children.
California publishes her own school-books,
and supplies all the children need, at cost
of fifty cents gear TO each scholar.
How is it in Georgia?
Britain and the Book Trust get the pow
erful support of the Roman Catholic ma
chine by illegally giving the Popes schools
q portion of our public money.
The R0maniSts are not able TO aoorh that
Megazity on the State of Neao York, but
they ac01k 1t on the State Of Georgia.
So far as / know, there is not another
State IN the Union where the Pope flches
a yearly portion of the public school funds.
H0U does he do 1t?
ASK NJ. L. BRITAIN TO ANSWER
THE QUESTION.
Britain doesn't give the Methodist schools
any money
He is a Baptist, but he doesn't give any
public funds to our Bessie Tiff school, or
to our Mercer University.
But he pours it out, every year, for the
Catholic schools.
Why the discrimination?

and she remained obdurate for three aOeeks.)

made out by about forty white witnesses,
none of whom were impeached, and many
of whom had been his satisfied employees.
a. That eleren 2Uhite girls and aoonaero
8q0ore to has Immoral character, and his
lawyers were afraid to ask these ladies for
the details of what they knew;
(5.) That one white girl swore he got
her in his private office, and tried to take
liberties with her person, on the second day
after she began to work for him;
co. That one white girl, who had form
erly worked for him, swore he ruined her,
and offered to show where he had used his
teeth on her thigh, at the tenderest part OF
a woman's body:
(7) That Frank changed his clothes
when he went home, and appeared In a new
suit next day:
(8) That Franks family connections
employed lawyers for him on Sunday, when
no Gentle accused him until late Tues
day:
(9) That Frank was afraid to submit
himself to a cross examination at his trial:
(10) That before Jim Conley knew
there were rich relatives of Frank in Brook
Ign, he, Conley, told the police that Frank
had said, on the day of the crime
"Why should I hang? I haze rich reza-
tjves an Brooh7y1a"
(11.) That the lawyers and detectives
were utterly unable to prevail upon any
girl, or woman, to swear that the hair which
r. P. Barrett found on the handle of his
lathe-machine, early Monday morning,
might be hers!
112.) That no man or boy, girl or woman
could be persuaded to swear that he,
or she, made those stains on Leo Franks
floor, between Friday evening and Monday
morning
(13.) That Slaton's partner, Rosser, die
tated the affidavit which the Rev. c. B.
Ragsdale sWore he was paid 5000 to sign:
(14.) That Slaton's partner offered Sen
ator Ollie James a great feet to appear be-
fore Slaton, and recite an argument" which
would be prepared for HMM a case which
the Senator was assured he could not lose:
(15.) That Franks attorneys including
the majestic John w. Moore haze been
publicly, and repeatedly, accused Of aoajtiag
until Judge Roam qoas dead to produce
forged letter, which stultifes his official rec
ord, and his confidential conversations; and
these Frank lawyers hare not dared to
chirp!
(16.) That Slaton was urged not to pass
on case where his own client was applicant
for communication, and that he paid no at
tention to the remonstrance:
(17.) That the Law disqualified Slaton
to act as the trial judge and commuter of
his own client; and that his decree in the
case is absolutely null and void.
(17) That the States attorneys can at
any time sue out writ of H0beas Corpus,
alleging the illegal detention of Frank at
the State Farm; and can hare him brought
6dch to Fulton County for re-sentence
(18.) That if this step were taken, the
moral turpitude Of Slaton, and Rosser would
be fully revealed, and the Law indicated

that the total number of soldiers killed during
the first six months of the was 2,146, 000
Russia the greatest loser, Germany next, then
France, while Great Britain's loss was the least
1t is reported that from April Is to May 81 the
total deaths in the British army were 258,059. II
these figures correct, the average loss of men
per week has increased from 1000 to 17,000
1t is shocking to think that in six months the
dead, wounded and prisoners of the five great
countries in the war aggregate nearly 100000
am sorry the Index failed to point out
Gods purpose In this war, which has al
ready Uttered the earth with three million
corpses, and plunged three million families
into grief and misery.
/ would be glad to have the~1ndex's idea
as to which side God is on.
The Kaiser says that he and God are to-
gether. which, If true, makes God the ALLY
of Mahomet since the Turks have been the
salvation of the Germans.
If the Sultan had not been such a fool as
to let the Germans make a buffer out OF him,
the Russians would have gone to Berlin.
/ am not prepared to believe that God is
Mohammedan, and therefore | cannot be-
lieve that He is fighting for Mahomet's
ally.
How about it, Bro. Index?
Then, the Gar of Russia claims that God
is with him. IF so, the artillery is mighty
slow in coming up.
The Russians have lost 100000 men in
killed, wounded, and prisoners; and the job
they now have on hand is that of running
back home fast enough.
[ can't believe that God would allow the
Russians to be battered up In this way, If
He were their ally.
How about that, Bro. Index?
Then, the King of England-that's little
George, you lznow-declared that God was
with him., but / haven't seen any proofs OF
it, yet.
The Germans came mighty near dropping
a bomb on Georges head, some time ago;
and the way they have been sinking his
ships is scandalous
His troops don't seem to have enough
sand or ammunition, or something.
Even the Turks stand them off, In a most
sarcastic manner
British troops have done less in this war
than at any time since zoe licked 'em.
France is the only government that has
not claimed God as an ally and asset In the
man killing trade and France has made the
best showing Of any.
She hasn't butchered old men, helpless
women, and little children, as the Kaiser7s
officers have done, and as the Kaiser's allies
the Turks and the Austrians- done.
She hasn't mistreated prisoners, as the
Germans have done.
She hasn't sunk unarmed fishing trawlers,
and passenger ships, as the ally of the
Turks has done.
She hasn't reduced solemn treaties to
scraps of paper" as Germany has DONE
She has met great danger, in great
way; and she has saved the world from that
hellborn monster, German autocracy and
militarism
Yet she hasn't, for a moment claimed
that God is her ally.

THE o R

Science has done more to enlarge
the habitable world in late years than
have the explorers. The discovery OF
the poles added nothing of practical
value to humanity, but those who
fought the battles of sanitation in the
tropics have opened vast possibilities.
Surgeon General Gorgas, who is com
petent to speak on this subject, says,
according to the Harrisburg (Pa.)
Patriot: 1.-The great valleys of the
Amazon and Congo probably would
produce all the food needed by the
world ii they were settled by the type
Of white man we now have in north
ern nations" The cleaning up of the
Panama district and changing 1t from
q veritable death hole to a region
where life is as safe as anywhere on
earth is the proof. With the expert
ence there gained, and with the ma
tural enterprise Of the C which he
80 ably represents, it is safe to pre-
dict that In time the regions he men
tions will be developed and made to
yield their share in the support OF
human life. It Is in that direction
that the world will widen in the
future.

The Black Diamond, coal trade
Journal, undertakes to defend the
price of anthracite to the consumer
by pointing out that bacon sells for
30 cents \ pound, which is at the rate
of 5000 a ton, that ordinary salt sells
for one cent a pound, which is at the
rate of 800 a ton, and that "a small
piece of felt, made out of off grade
wool and some bad cotton, pressed
into the shape of a woman's hat, sells
for $40" In comparison with these
figures, it wants to know why antbra
cite, which sells at the mine for So SO
a ton, should be considered high.
But people who burn anthracite are
obliged to pay more than twice So. so
for it. What really matters is that
the consumer of so necessary a com
modify should be forced to pay more
Tor it than its actual production and
distribution cost.

1t seems that the railroads of the
United States are entering upon a
period of marked prosperity. A long
term of lean earnings, Investigations
oy law making bodies and court trials
have been means of bringing about
an efficiency OF operations never be-
fore known in railroading. The facl
that roads in r~eceivership represent
about sixteen per cent of the total
mileage Of the country would indicate
that the transportation companies
are not yet out Of the woods. This
unfortunate circumstance is, howev-
er, due to conditions of the past.

A GOOD THOUGHT

In every legislative district in which
the farmers have the deciding vote
there went about at the last election
candidates who expressed a vehement
desire to go to the legislature ''to rep.
resent the farmer" Many of these
gentlemen were in the last notorious
legislature, but the average farmer
gave little attention how he was rep
resented.
The Michigan Patron, a grange pa
per, tells US how the legislature of
Michigan is controlled. and in doing
so draws a picture which is true of
many other states perhaps South
Dakota.
The Patron says that the state ring,
which are the tools OF combined in
terests, names FIVE or more senator's,
and perhaps twenty representatives,
mines look after another block, and
thus a third or more of the member
ship is chosen-hand picked, if YOU
please-and are tied up to private in :
terests before the legislature con
venes. About thirty more are needed
to have control. These are obtained
from the weak or fool members.
Every man is spotted for any weak
ness. Does he like to be entertained?
He car find it in plenty in dry Lans-
ing. And the Patron does not care
TO strain its columns with details of
the nameless methods in which the
weak and fool members are dominat-
ed. lnthe Michigan state legislature
this winter, this diabolical work is
planned to thwart the claims Of the
people on their representatives. It is
a pity that Weaklings and fools should
be nominated for office, Or elected if
nominated. but after these things
have taken place, and net only.the weak
but the strong would be all the better
for . good watching. The Patron sug-
gests that 9 grange representative
should be on the ground to watch and
report as 10 the conduct Of legislators,
both Inland out Of the session.

plan would be for the farmers of every
