holders Suffer Little financially
The first official Information OF a
financial loss i'll organized baseball
comes from Cincinnati, and If that
can be considered an average case,
the national sport has not suffered so
heavily as the public has been led TO
believe. In the reorganization of the
Reds, which has Just been done, it
was necessary for President Herr
mann to make financial statement
and this shows that the Reds lost but
$4,000, Notwithstanding the large
sums paid out for the purchase of
players, training expenses. etc.
The stockholders of the Cincinnati
club lost less than it costs them an
nually to run their motor cars. As
Cincinnati was considered big loser.
it is evident that very few Of the or

one-man partyo What would come
OF its campaign next year if it were
to nominate Mr.. Roosevelt upon
what would be tantamount to a con-
fession that it had nobody of its own
worthy the occasion? What would be
thought OF a party which thus I'M
tremendously threw into the discard
such men as Root. Hughes, Whit
man, Weeks, Fairbanks. Mann. Bur-
ton and Borah for man who de-
feated it in 1912, and has since de-
nounced it as a corrupt tool of the
interests? These questions answer
themselves
But Mr.. Roosevelt as the candidate
of party reduced to one-man con-
dition would labor under still an
other handicap He would be can
didate for third term, after having
declared against such a thing and
plcdging himself TO the inviolabiilty
of the tradition What more could
the democratic party ask? What
more would be necessary to insure
1t a walkaway, even in the face OF
the failure of its domestic policies?
If Mr.. Roosevelt returns to the re-

he will be able to render it service
next year. but not as its candidate

The Frank Case.

! The coroner's verdict in the Frank
case carries no surprise. There was
lynching. but by unknown par
/ ties Thus is the case passed up
to the grand jury, which meets next
| week
The inquisition by that body will
be held behind closed doors. Whether
that will develop anything OF i'm
portance remains to be seen. Wit
nesses will be examined under oath
in the secrecy OF the jury room, but
the public will know who have APP
pcared.
There may be indictments, but the
opinion prevails, is openly expressed
in Georgia, and generally accepted
the mob will be punished for his
part in it. This. as respects the
general proposition-the taking of
law away from sworn officers OF the
law and substituting lawless tribu-
nails the discouraging feature of
the case.
1t is sought by and in the inter
ests OF the "clansmen" to make the
Frank case case apart. Here, we
are asked to believe, was no action
IN heat, or without a hearing given.
No vulgar mob composed OF riffraff
did this. business, but men of good
standing banded together to execute
legal decree that had been nullihed
by an executive.
The point made is outlawed by the
law. The executive had exercised
power legally intrusted to him, and
his action had Immediately become
binding on every law-abiding citi-
zen. Frank as prisoner for life was
entitled to the full protection of the
state
The lynching problem has grown
so rapidly, it is now become a posi-
! tive peril: and the more so because
the outbursts are not confined to any
state or section. The country should
rouse to the danger; for until the
negro in his hut is as safe from out
lawry as the white man in his pal
ace-the convicted prisoner in his
cell as assured of protection from vio-
lence as the innocent man in his bed
at home-the law in its full majesty
will fail OF its full purpose, and be
the sport and jest OF reckless and I'M
worthy men.
SO far have matters gone, indeed.
that, in any large city when anger
rises over some happening in pub
lie street or place. it is common
thing for light-headed and bad-heart-
ed persons present to raise the cry
OF Lynch him. against the indi-
vidual under arrest. The exhibition
is that of ruling passion strong in
an instant. For, to paraphrase a
biblical text, the man VINO utters that
cry has already committed lynching
