THE PEACE FORUM

Whatever may be the views OF
men regarding the policies best cal.
culated to preserve the worlds
peace, there are few who question
that peace is a highly desirable con-
dition. Peace at any price may de.
mand too high a price; but peace TN
terms consistent with the self-re.
spect and the substantial interests
of nations is wanted, and is neces-
sary to progress.
It is fitting that the effort cf the
international Peace Forum in be.
half of world-opinion that will re.
store peace should be inaugurated in
Washington. As Capital Of tie one
first-class power now not at war,
Washington is the place to which
every consideration Of peace makes
men instinctively turn their eyes.
From here will come, sooner or later,
some proposal, or at any rate the ef-
fectual moral support for a pro-
posal, that will bring the wars end
in sight. This is the ark whence
the dove must 80 out in search Of
the olive branch.
The mass meeting at Polls Thea
ter this afternoon under the aus
pices of the Peace Forum brings
together notable gathering Of men
who will have part in crystalliz-
ing the policy of this nation toward
the means that must be adopted, the
part we must play, in ending the
war. Perhaps this nations contri.
button will be less important in the
direction of restoring peace, than in
that of making the peace permanent.
Whether the war shall last over a
few months longer or shorter period
is not so important as that when it
ends it shall be followed by a peace
that can be sustained and made per-
manent. The Peace Forum will en-
phasize before the world the fact
that civilization will fail if it does
not find a way to insure itself
against such confagrations as this
now In progress.

SUNDAY IN WASHING
TON

For the first time Washington is ia
be able to Judge for itself the power
Of the Rev. "Billy" Sunday, easily
the leading evangelist of today.
When he steps before an audience
of 5000 people in Convention Hall
at 4:15 tomorrow afternoon it will
mean a new triumph for him, and
possibly a new spiritual awakening
for the National Capital, if his rec.
ord in other cities may be taken as a
criterion.
Mr.. Sunday has made it plain that
he is not coming here to give a
sample" Of his brand of religious
work; he is making no bid for a call
to hold meetings in this city. Hc is
coming because hundreds Of minis
ters and church officials and thou
sands Of laymen have for months
been importuning him to come, if
only for a single meeting. He he's
responded much as any other minis
ter, whose time was limited, would
do. But there can be little doubt
that his appearance will give I'M
petus to the demand that he conduct
an extended revival here.
While the stay of Mr.. Sunday will
be brief, it will be typical of the
energetic and picturesque ex-baseball
player. In his own words he intends
to "put one right over the plate" ard
those who have felt the power of his
eloquence and the magnetism of his
personality have no fear that he will
do otherwise.
He will arrive in Washington
shortly before noon, bringing with
him his family and his chief aide
Homer Rodeheaver, who will direct
the singing and lead the choir of $50
voices organized under the direction
of Percy S. Foster. Convention Hal
will be opened at $3.50 o'clock and a
few minutes later the song service
will begin.
A feature of every Sunday reviva
has been the weeks Of preparation
he insisted should preccde his actua
appearance on the field, and to 8
large extent this preparation has
marked his coming to Washington
The Times takes pride in the part il
has taken in this work, both ir
helping bring Sunday to this cit,
and in making his appearance here
q success. It has fully agreed will
the earnest men and women who are
working for the spiritual welfare Of
Washington, and who believe that
the presence of Mr.. Sunday will d.
much to advance that work.
Whatever opinion men may hav'
of the work Of Mr.. Sunday, it canno'
be denied that he is power. Ant
the best way for the people Of Wash
ington or any city to form a proper
opinion of him and his methods IS t
hear him.

FULL TESTIMONY IN THE
FRANK CASE

The Sunday Evening Times be-
gins today the publication of the Of
fetal testimony in the Frank case,
which, because of a series Of most
extraordinary circumstances, legal
and judicial, sectional and racial, has
become one of the most celebrated
in all the history of criminal trials.
1t is not necessary to dwell here
upon the number of appeals Frank
has sought since his conviction, the
various sentences imposed upon him.
the stays Of execution he has OBJ
tanned and the conflicting opinions of
judges and decisions of courts in the
various proceedings. 1t will suffice
to say that our purpose in publish
ing this official record of the evil
dence submitted to the Georgia
jury, which has never appeared in
print, is to let the public have the
testimony, just as the jury which
convicted Frank had it, coming from
witnesses as direct evidence and as
indirect evidence, credible and in
credible, drawn out by counsel for
the prosecution aud by counsel for
the defense.
There are, of course, at this time
two distinct questions in this re-
nnsrkable case. One is whether
Frank is guilty or innocent. The
other is whether Frank, guilty or in
noeent, had a fair trial, was legally
convicted and was properly treated
in the judicial proceedings after his
trial and conviction.
Whether the technical processes in
the lower courts were lawful or un:
lawful, right or wrong, is question
to be determined in the higher
courts.
Whether Frank was guilty or in.
nocent was question to be deter
mined by the jury before which he
was tried. And it is by this same
testimony, which the twelve men in
the jury box in Georgia had, that
the jury of the American people, as
it were, can determine whether The,
believe that Frank is guilty or in.
nocent.
Nobody can follow this testimon,
from beginning to end without being
moved to an opinion in one direction
at one time, and 20 different opin
ion in the opposite direction at an
other time. But just as a jury ough
to form its final opinion by a weigh
ing of all the testimony, facts, an,
circumstances, so the reader can d,
in following this official evidence
from the beginning TO the end.
Except for the notes and com
ments by the head of the Burns De
tectivc Agency to illuminate POINT
and bring out the significance Of de
tails here and there, here will no
