HIS CHANGE OF HEART

Twelve or thirteen years ago K.
Hudson Burr, chairman of tle state
railroad commission, rode into office
by making rabid "pot metal" attacks
on the railroads. Burr was for "the
people," and he could say nothing
too harsh against the railroads and
the newspapers which were supposed
to represent the railroads. The
Times publishes an exclusive story in
which Burr is shown to have snubbed
Rev. J. B. Mitchell, pastor of the
Hyde Park Methodist church and
chairman of the board of trustees of
Southern College, the great Meth
odist institution at Sutherland, also
other ministers, when requested to
grant a hearing on the subject of

according to prisoners who gazed on
the scene Frank did not falter but ac-
cepted the situation stoically." A
prisoner who witnessed the seizure
said that four men grabbed Frank by
his arms and legs, while a fifth
caught him by the hair. In this
fashion they dragged him down the
steps. Frank never uttered word
but apparently he was suffering in,

One thing is certain, and that is
that if we have efficient national pre-
paredness, we will have to have an
entirely different system from that
which has managed our army and
navy since the United States be-
came a nation. The army and navy
departments have always been under
the control of civilians, and the said
civilians have always put in a good
portion of their time and sacrificed a
lot of the public money to finding
jobs for, office-seekers. If all the use

States government were turned out

THE FRANK CASE

The Star is not surprised at the /
lynching of Leo Frank. A few days
after Frank was sent to Milledge- |
vile, the Star pointed out how such an
occurrence was not only possible but
probable The most surprising thing
about the performance is that it was
deferred so long.
Very few murders in the United
States have drawn as much attention
as that of little Mary Phagan, the
factory girl, by either. her employer
Leo M. Frank, or his negro assist
ant, Conley. There has been a heat
ed discussion and great deal of Ill
feeling. The people of Georgia have
done wrong in some things. 1t is
possible they have the blood of an
innocent man on their hands. On the
other side, the country at large has
been unjust to Georgia.
Because, those who sympathize
with Frank, or most of them, have
gone clear away from the evidence
and assumed that Georgia was per-
scouting an innocent man, knowing
him to be innocent-that the people
of the state are cruel mob clamor-
ing for blood. The opinion is deep
and widespread that Frank was
convicted more because he was a
Jew than because he was accused of
the murder of Mary Phagan.
The Star is reasonably well ac-
quainted with the people of Georgia
and does not believe they would be
willing that any innocent man, Jew
or Gentle, should be put to death. If
one thing is more sure than another,
it is that a great majority of them
believed in the guilt of Frank. A
good many in other states believe he
was guilty. 1t is beyond dispute
that the mass of those who believe IN
Franks guilt live near the scene OF
the crime, and the mass of those who
believe he was innocent dwell at
distance, are imperfectly acquainted
with the evidence and labor under
the mistake that the prosecution was
only persecution.

Among other sneers at Britain is
the common one that England's bat

Scotch. A close study of history

done some good fighting for them

critics have missed is this: All the

The people who apprehend that

any such thing. The average Meth

by public officials toward a church OF
