Says Leo M. Frank Has Taught His
People a Lesson of Endurance.

To the Editor of THE TINES:
One cannot but sympathize with Leo
NJ. Frank. the man who for months ana
months has been the victim-the poor,
helpless victim-of a mob's prejudiced
ignorance and jury's inexcusable
weakness.
To my mind. no man ever taught his
race such a lesson of endurance. of in
destructible manhood. under every con-
celvable oppression and wrong. as
Frank has. No abuse that can be
heaped on man has been spared from
his head And Yet he has borne all
these humiliations with composure
that amounts almost to stoicism, HIS
fortitude has called forth sympathy and
admiration everywhere
When he was taken into custody by the
Atlanta officials. when he first answered
mot guilty" to the charge brought
against him. when the atrocious accu-
sations were being invented against
him. whe- Dorsey demanded his death.
when ths Jury pronounced HIM guilty,
when Judge Coan sentenced him To die
for the crime OF which he knew nothing.

ture overlooked the possibilities Of
handles on corn for easy steering
purposes, yet her dereliction in this
one respect is more than atoned by
the perfect non-skid tread that goes
with each ear. Otherwise, the per-
centage Of accidents among our cor
pulent epicures would be vast, in
deed. ...
Difficult a. it IL to ascertain the
exact affinity between corn on the
cob and avoirdupois, all alienists
and psychologists realize the insolu-
BILE partnership existing. When one
adds to the droning hum of many
molars, the oscillating Of numerous
chins, one realizes that the victories
Of peace are achieved largely by the
operation Of Maxim's famous 81
lencer.
Fortunately for our more robust
Fletcherites, the mortality among
collars Is not quite 50 high in corn
on-the-cobbing season as in the
watermelon period; nevertheless,
there is ample humidity in the I'M
mediate vicinity of a corn-on-the-cob
embroglio to dampen the ardor of
any Palm Beach uniform. Mean
while, there being no ordinance
against cutting out the muffler
within the city limits, our best corn
on-the-cobbers will pursue the cor
rugated tenor Of their way, Nathan
hale-izing that they have only one
compilation Of teeth to give for their
corntry.
