certify writ OF error to the
United States Supreme Court.
In the Federal Courts.
To review that action, appli-
cation was made first to Justice
Lamar. then to Justice Holmes
and finally to the entire Su-
prene Court of the United
States, for a writ of error. All
held that the decision of the
Georgia Supreme Court could
not be reviewed because its &C
ton was based on grounds OF
procedure, namely, that the plea
for setting aside the verdict
should have advanced at the
time the motions for new trial
were made.
Application was made Deem
Der 10 to Judge Newman of the
Federal District Court fol
Northern Georgia. for writ Of
habeas corpus, alleging Frank
had been convicted without due
process OF law; that the trial
court had lost jurisdiction ovei
him during the trial because il
was dominated by a mob hos.
tile to the prisoner" and that
Frank had been absent from the
court room when the verdict
was returned. Two days later
Judge Newman refused the writ
of habeas corpus, holding that
to grant it would mean that a
Federal Court should review the
action of the State Courts in a
manner not warranted by the
law of the country, and that,
too, after the Supreme Court OF
the United States had decided
no federal question remained for
consideration in the case. Judge
Newman also refused to issue
a certificate of probable cause"
for appeal to the Supreme Court,
but it was issued by Justice La
mar December 28, and the case
came to the Supreme Court for
review of Judge Newman's &C
ton, argument being made last
February.

THE CROP PEST BILL

The whole future of the agricul-
tural and horticultural interests OF
Florida are tied up in the crop pest
bill now pending before the state leg
islature. The enactment Of this law
is of supreme Importance to every
interest in Florida.
The bill provides ample protection
against the introduction into the
state of pests affecting any farm
crop. Had there been such law in
existence the fruit growers Of the
state would have been saved the loss
of half a million dollars or more due
to the introduction into Florida oil
citrus canker two or three years
ago.
1t has cost more to bring this one
disease under control than the pro-
posed law will call for in a period
of several years and canker has not
vet been eradicted from the state
There are any number Of other dis
eases of plant life which are costing
the state annually hundreds OF
thousands of dollars that might have
been prevented by an adequate cror
nest law at the time they were first
introduced.
The farmers and fruit growers are
no more concerned in this matter
in its final analysis, than other busi'
ness interests. Bankers, manufac'
turers. merchants and all lines OF In
dustry are hurt by anything which
affects the agricultural prosperity Of
Florida. The money that has gone
IN fight citrus canker. for instance
would have done much for the up
building of the state if it had been
spent in constructive instead Of de-
structive lines.
The crop pest bill has few open
opponents. There are Indications

group of politicians, however. These
men may feel that their pickimgs
will be decreased by the amount of
money that it is proposed to spend
for the protection of the farmers of
the state. The task of a plant in
spector involves lot of hard physi-
cal work and for this reason jobs I'M
der the new law may not be very
much in demand. The business men
whom we believe to constitute the
majority of the legislature should
not be infiuencer by any selfish op,
position to the crop pest bill.
Every voter who wants to see ag
ricultural Florida prosper should i'm
mediately write or wire the mem
bers Of the legislature who repre-
sents him asking them to vote fol
the bill. 1t has been favorably re
ported by the agricultural and ap
