He COLUMBIA HERALD
A 4scRAP OF PAPER"

There can be no defense Of the
really prefidious course of the Italian
government in the great European
crisis 1t is true that the govern
ment of that country never had the
power to enforce the conditions OF
the Driebund in so far as furnish
ing aid to the Teutonic allies was
concerned. The government would
not have lived a day, the Kings
throne would have been endangered
had the armies and navies of Italy
been placed at the disposal of the
Kaiser to fight the French. OF that
there can be little doubt. The best
therefore that the government would
have done was to hands off, In the
contest. Unquestionably public senti-
ment forced the government to final
action but 1t was not moved until
after it had sought to be bribed into
keeping the peace. Therein lies the
shame Of its course.
II in the beginning of the war, the
Italian government had boldly recog-
nized what was plain to every one
else, that the war was waged by the
Kaiser as one Of conquest, that it
was instituted to destroy the power
of France and to make Germany the
power in Europe that France was I'M
der the great Napoleon, and then de-
clared that it could never be a party
to such a program but must inter
pose in behalf of the people OF
France who were fighting for nation
al live, there could have been little
ground for complaint. The Italian
government then could have said to
Germany that it refused to treat
solemn international obligations as
anything more than mere scraps oY
paper" therefore it felt free to enlist
in the cause of those who had the
overwhelming sympathies of its peo-
Pile. It's long continued vacilation
and indecision are really the things
that make the governments present
uncomfortable position.
However treacherous Italy may
have been it does not lie in the
mouth of Germany to point the &C.
cusing finger of scorn. The nation
that treated it's obligation to safe
guard the neutrality of Belgium as a
hated scrap of paper" that ruth
essly invaded and trampled upon
and almost exterminated defense
less and unoffending people, assured
ly has no right to complaint when
It's allies breach the faith.

THE FRANK CASE.

P'N SoNAS ~ N---o
brought to bear upon tha governor OF
Georgia to nave the death sentence
of Leo NJ. Frank, convicted murderer
of Mary Phagan, committed Gener-
al assemblies of a score of states have
adopted resolutions petitiouing elem
ency. Many governors have done the
same thing. In many cities thousands
have signed petitions to the same ef-
feet. From every quarter of the
country comes The sane appeal.
Probably a large majority OF the
signers of these petitions and the
adopters of these resolutions know at
first hand little o. nothing about. the
facts of this murler case. Little OF
the evidence produced before the jury
has been published in the papers, al
though columns and columns have
been written about the case. The
general impress sion all over the coun-
try is one of doubt, serious doubt, of
the guilt of Frank. How much this
sentiment has for its foundation in
fact cannot be known. Probably very
much of it mas been manufactured by
sensational newspaper and maya
zine writer's, may be some of it has
come from paid representatives OF
Frank and his friends.
1t is easy to get petition signed.
A man might commit the most afro
cious and cold bloodnd murder known
to the records of Maury county, final
ly be sentenced to eXp'ate his crime
and yet hun1'als, who, when the
deed was fresh in their
minds suddered with horror, could
be subsequently induced to sign pc
ton for clemency Men do this when
they bear none of he burdens of re-
sponsibility. Legislators of Tennes-
see are not responsible for the exc
cution of the law in Georgia and they
are quick to respond to the request
of some interested partisan and petit
ton for Franks pardon.
The governor of Georgia has the
awful burden, the terrible RESPONSE
bility of finally determining Franks
fate. He. appreciates this fact. He
is sensible of the alacrity with which
unthinking and irresponsible men
sign petitions. He has announced
that outside pressure will not infiu-
ence his decision. That Is proper.
He should and doubtless will careful
ly read all Of the facts in Franks
case. He will give due weight to all
the evidence, to the surrounding facts
and circumstances and then deter
mine whether or not justice requires
the life OF this unfortunate man. 1t
is a pit that governors generally DO
not more often follow the example of
the Georgia executive. Until the
administration Of Gov. Hooper it was
almost an avery day occurrence for
the governor of this state to grant
criminal a pardon because petitions to
that effect "numerously signed by
prominent citizens of Blank county"
had so requested. That is poor
reason, no reasoo at all for executive
