Frank to Hang Unless Pardoned

The denial Of a new trial to
Leo NJ. Frank, for the alleged
murder Of the young girl at At
lanta, is a distinct source Of sor-
row to thousands upon thousands
of good people throughout the
South who kept up with the pro-
ceedings Of the case when it was
being tried tefore the courts.
The refusal of the application
by the Supreme Court Of the I'm
tied States was a decision of the
court arrived at on the ground
that the prisoner suffered from
no deprivation Of any cOnstitu-
tional right and that his case had
been fought out, and lost, under
due process of law.
Frank is a Jew, and how much
Of the mob spirit that was, at
times, in evidence when the case
was before the courts in Atlanta,
is due to the prejudice yet unfor-
tunately existing against that
once despised, and still %unfortu-
nate but patient and long suffer
ing, race it is impossible to say.
We cite the fact Frank is an
Israelite and refer to the preju-
dice we deem unfortunately eX-
listing against his people, rot for
the purpose Of defending themin
our columns.
Indeed, among enlightened,
Christian communities, the best
citizenship recognizes, and cheer
fully acknowledges, the Jews
worth to the social, political, NOR
al and phiIanthropic accomplish
ments of the world.
In every age, from the morn
ing Of time until now, and in
every land his footsteps have
Jrod, he has left a record show
ing that be is a man of deeds as
we'll as Of words, and his achieve
ments all along the line Of human
endeayor, when encountering his
lltoWard fate, have been such
A. to win the sympathy and com.
nand the respect of virtue, anC
ya1or and intelligent patriotism.
The United States Supreme
Court having ~judicially deter
aimed the question and recorded
its decision that Frank was trieC
under due process of law anC

the o. Collsd "Boss''
We. TEDDY, the Terrible"

The above is not the technical
title (but were it so styled, peo-
pie would be at no loss to recOg-
nize the principals of a famous
libel suit on trial, as these lines
are being written before the
courts at Syracuse, New York.
1t is a case in which a former
President of the United States is
the distinguished defendant, and
Hon, William Barnes, a very
eminent Republican politician of
the Empire State, is plaintiff.
1t also is a case which will at
tain a nationwide interest, and,
in all probability, gain notoriety
throughout the civilized world,
not only by reason Of the prom
inence Of the parties to it, but
because of the great, almost'uni-
versal popularity of one of them.
For, while it is true there are
few mer who have a~ntagonized
and, in a measure, fought the in
terests of so many persons as has
the ex-President, it is equally
true there are still fewer who,
by deeds of personal daring and
by fearlessly spoken words, have
made more friends and admirers
among the masses than has Col
onel Theodore Roosevelt-gifted
author, orator, statesman, SOL
der, traveller, explorer and all
around accomplished scholar and
gentleman that he, in all fairness,
is everywhere conceded to be,
except by the junior U. S. ''sen-
ator from Mississippi"
Mr., Roosevelt is being sued
with great earnestness and vigor,
the complainant, Mr.. Barnes, be-
ling represented by the best lega-
talent obtainable.
On the witness stand, the ex.
President is !being subjected tc
the severest gruelling human in.
genuity in keeping with the lin
its of law, can devise.
And yet throughout it all, his
a n S wers have been quick.
straightforward, evidently truth
full, and directly to the point.
His poise and his candor al
well as his readiness at reply
and aptness at retort, and his
clearness of state.%9ae2ta are add
IL ss.slsaTfels as i" OK keRa
as a man of strong persSnallt!
and one who has convictions, an(
dares express his honest though
when he deems its expression
= due to the occasion.
His audacious sallies of wit, ant
unassumed impulsiveness of man
ner, in the tits that arise bet
ween the witness and the eXamin
ing attorney, keep the interes
= Of Judge, jury, and audience a
white heat; and in the passage
alarms that have so far occurred
, between the defendant and tn
learned counsel for the plaintiff
Mr.. Roosevelt has proven him
self to be a past master in tn
= art of disputation-a polemic %
} dauntless courage and consum
mate skill in fence"
Thus far, it is plain, he ha
y lost nothing in reputation Q
character by the severe ordes
through which he is passing an
the BEACON sincerely hopes h
may continue to sustain himsel
: creditably throughout his trial.
What the outcome of the su:
;. is to be, no one can at this m(
ment intelligently conjecture; bu

of even an eX-President, we al

bers are not great nor their tai
ent sufficient to set the rivers on
fre-are here and there, to be
found who Unexpectedly and
treacherously, it seems, locked
arms with Republican leaders on
an important occasion in their
fight upon the policy and meas
ures of President Wilson'S ad-
ministration.
These recreant Democrats,
lacking the inherent qualities
upon which true merit rests, vain
ly imagine they can add to their
Importance and increase their in
fluence-magnify, to the common
understanding, their virtues and
claims to craftsmanship by ira
ducing the motives. belittling the
recommendations and thwarting
the hopes and aspirations of the
President and his party follow
ers in congress who compose a
large majority of the party there,
in behalf of the public veal.
To this end, some of them op-
pose his efforts to control or de-
feat the object of the harmful,
greedy trusts of the country.
Some deserted his every sug-
gestion as to what is needed in
that direction, as a vicious attack
upon corporate wealth and Big
Business, regardless of the righ-
teousness of his design and pur-
pose.
Then, there is another class of
small fry schemers and ~tricksters
trying to keep in the swim-try-
ing to traverse the empire of the
political sea-by raising the dem
agogish cry hat the President
ignobly pandered to some unrea-
sonable or unreasonable demand,
originating in some improper
quarter or timidly yielded to the
wishes and wants, if not dicta-
ton, of England when he sought
to do the right thing, as he sees
it, in the right way, and at the
right time to promote the pros
perity and add to the happiness
of the people, touching the Pan
anna tolls question.
But these are little men who
) desire to. keep in the pnblic~ aye
and are wiling to do so at any
cost, and who find it easier to get
there by harshness of criticisms
than by valuable suggestions. !
They are small men, willing
and eager and energetic in pull.
