THE MURDER OF FRANK

Shocking ard revolving,
but not surprising, is the final
scene in the awful tragedy of
the famous Frank case
1t is no more than what
Georgia by her past deeds
has led us to expect of her.
Because Of its nation. wide
publicity, the Frank case, with
its tragic elimination, may
help to teach the civilized
world the awful truth about
Georgia. Already may be
noted the fruits of the fierce
publicity given to this her
latest of numerous crimes. 1t
has taken first position over
the war news. The deed has
been denounced. by white ed
itors, as b!acker than anything
that has been perpetrated
within the war zone of Eu-
rope.
Shocked and disappointed
in this evidence that the
lynching spirit cannot be con-
fined only to the lawless mur- :
der Of black men, but must,
as the Amsterdam News has
preached these many years,
spread until the victims in
clude even those of the lynch.
ing race. the white editors OF
both the North and South
have been worked in.H .
frenzy of fear and apprehen
sion by this latest exhibition
of Georgia barbarity. They
feign surprise at the bloody
deed and call for action swift
and terrible.
We can understand the
shock and disappointment.

Perhaps not as severely as
the white editors. But then.
we have almost got seasoned
to the shocks sent out from
Georgia at short intervals.
So many of our men and of
late, even our women, have
been summarily disconnected
with the world that we dare
not be shocked at every lynch
ing bee for fear of the effect
on our heart-or on our loyal
ty to the Stars and Stripes.
Yet in spite OF the fact that
we know the white editors
have heard of more shocking
cases of mob law in Georgia
than even the Frank case. we
reiterate we can understand
the shock. A white man is
now the victim. But why the
surprise? These ominipotent
editors. who can read SO far
into the future of other mat
tiers. did they not see the ulti-
mate result of Southern mob
rule? Surely fhey are TOO in
telligent to have missed the
handwriting on the wall. We
take it then that only fools
and hypocrites can claim sur
prise at this logical culmina-
tion of unrestrained mob vio-
lence. Law must be firmly
and impartially upheld or its
foundations will one day fall
ter and fall. crashing the en-
tire fabric to destruction.
Had other murde1ous mobs
been punished the Frank dis
| grace would never have black
ened Georgia and shocked
our white contemporaries.
But law and order have been
lynched before without any
serious consequences to the
cowardly mobs. Colored men
are lynched nearly every day
ON SUSPICION. The inno-
cence of many dead and for
ever gone. has since been
proved. But not yet punish-
however, has been the crime
of their murderers. In this
case. it is notable that there
seems to be some serious
promise of action. An out
ragged country and surprised"
white press demand it.
Whether or no Georgia will
have moral courage enough
to eradicate this stain remains
to be seen. In the meantime
we might get Africa and 9TH
er so-called uncivilized coun-
tries to send missionaries to
civilize the barbarians of
Georgia.-Amsterdam News
