THE ATTACK ON LEO FRANK.

The wounding of Leo NJ. Frank by
a fellow prisoner at Georgias prison
farm is the climax of the persecution
which he has undergone. Today he
lies near death; according to many,
the victim of mob justice.
Whether the attack was instigated
and aided by persons outside the
prison or was committed only on the
insane impulse of the convict, William
Green, is not known The knife with
which Frank was stabbed might have
been smuggled in for that purpose.
Green, who is serving life sentence,
might have been promised leniency #
he succeeded in killing Frank. But
that is merely conjecture.
One thing is certain. Green could
have been inspired with the fan
aticism of the mob spirit which was
rife in Georgia when Governor Slaton
commuted Franks sentence. The
danger of permitting such criminal
spirit to exist is shown by Green's
statement that he believed he was do
ing the right thing.

Another means of recreation fol
the tired business man has been de
vised, this time by the United States
Government. A military training
camp for business and professional
men is being maintained by the gov
ernment near the regular army re-
servation at Plattsburg. n. y
Plans are on foot to extend this sys-
TEN to other sections of the United
States, thereby affording an oppor-
tunity for four weeks instruction in
military affairs in conjunction with
the usual summer vacation. The oD-
ject seems to be to prepare the men
thus trained to be the officers of vol
unteers should a call to arms come.

ENFORCING THE CITY'S LAWS.

There is only one way in which
the city officials can carry out the
laws of the city and that is with the
aid of the citizens. A huckster came
into the city collectors office a few
days ago and inquired if Mr. Blank
had paid his license fee When he
had gone out again B. W. Jacobs. the
collector, said, IF all the merchants
would cooperate as much as this man
We would have no trouble collecting
the merchants tax from itinerant
peddlers."
1t seems that there were several
men on the street selling fresh vege-
tables without a license. Mr.. Jacobs
assured inquirers that he could not
trace all the farmers who sold on the
street, but if he received the names of
any who were selling without a IL
cense he would see that they paid
such fee or stopped selling on the
streets Those who had paid their
fee reported those who had not, and
now they are all on equal footing
again.
There are many infringements or
the ordinances of the city every day.
The only way to remedy them is TO re-
port the evil to the proper city Off
cial. 1t is ones duty to report the mis-
demeanor just as it is his duty to co..
rect it after it is pointed out.
