THE LEO FRANK CASE

Great pressure is being brought to bear to secure the
pardon of Leo NJ Frank convicted OF murder at Atlanta

deeper prejudice against Jew fomented by police
officers anxious to conviction in order to alay
public sentiment, aroused by their incompetence Frank
may be guilty but the evidence far from conclusive and
few have studied the case carefully without reaching the
conclusion that he is victim of circumstances and ruth

The accused faces execution on the charge of having
murdered Mary Phagan. One of the largest and most
reputable detective agencies in the United States after
exhaustive investigation declared that Frank was nno

agency accuses the prosecution of having rarOaded

One of the strong points in favor of Frank is that it
would have been physically impossible for him to have
murdered the girl and then the afternoon attend

THREE KINDS OF MEN

Everybody is familiar with the type of person who is
all things to all men, He meekly agrees to any opinion
you assert and just readily agrees with the next man
he encounters though the next mans opinion is ex
acty the contrary of yours On election days and on all
other occasions he is subject to the last man who sees him.
He is 50 oyeranous to please everybody that he makes
himself nOn-entity. And there are many of his kind
There is another class including many of the same
people, who are all things to all times They are always
heartily in favor of what exists In time of peace they
are strongly in favor of peace. In time of war they are
begerents and boodhrsty They favor trusts in those
commodities which are trusti6ed and are opposed to
trusts which have not been formed They support munich
pal ownership in cities that have municipal ownership and
private ownership Of public utilities in cities which follow
that policy They are against the labor unions that are
not strong and they oppose the closed shop until it is
closed They are never for the underdog until gets on
top Such people Aockng along the lines of least resist
ance are little brothers to the sheep and are regularly
shealed by those whose selfconfdence allows them to
move along lines of somewhat greater resistance
third common class is that of the chronic non-con-
fomst He is strong in his beliefs and vigorous in utter
ing them, He thinks that he thinks tremendously But
intellectually he is of the order as the other two
His views are fixed entirely by forces outside himself
He simply opposes whatever is generally accepted If he
is for the Democrats when they are out of power he is
against them when they get in The whole secret of his
seemingly engmaca attitudes lies in his being AGAINST

MEN IN EARNEST

When busy business man will leave his private bust
to devote several hours day for three consecutive
days to work for the community whole without ex-
pectaton of direct financial gan he is certainly sincere
in his desire to do service for the community.
And when four score of the active business and pro-
fessona men of the city will unite in giving such service
all working together and each at sacrifice of private
personal interest there certainly is an mpeng force
in this desire for better community development there is
power in the plan and the method employed which
lay hold of this desire to do and direct the forces to
accomplish what accomplished during the three days
endeavor to build up worthy community organization
so successfully carried out this week.
But careful survey of what has taken place in Salem
shows that the whole campaign carried out the
most sane and substantial methods-no trickery or
chicaney to bambooze the people resored to in any
way whatever
The success of the move for greater things came from
the earnest appeal to the better side of the of the
cityto their spirit of brotherhood and loyalty to the
community-and the presentation of plan for bringing
the things sought which is workable and appeals to the
highest business of the men who know business and
try to conduct business on high business ideals
Having shown that there is such fine spirit of CO.
operation and loyalty among the citizens of Salem let
be shown in the days to come manifested dur
ing the past few days. and the community will have some
thing to be proud of which it has not yet had of very great
measure-a united and harmonious ctzenry active in
doing something all the time for the benefit of the city
and its environs.

Right to Search Ships Conceded.
The note then will go on to explain
that the United States not only con-
cedes the right OF search on the high
seas. but regards it as a necessary
safeguard for the protection of nom
combatants. Therefore, conceding the
right to other belligerents, the United
States will demand II of Germany.
Submarine warfare, the Germans
have contended, has made visitation
and search impossible. because the
submarine, unable to distinguish with
certainty the nationality of its pros
pective prey, If compelled to rise and
summon it to halt, might expose itself
to fatal gunfire from an armed enemy
