LEO FRANKS CASE

The latest contribution in the case of Frank, sentenced to be hanged on the 20th ot next month, comes in the form of a letter published by the New York Times from Judge A. c. Powell, formerly mem Der of the appellate court of Georgia In this letter Judge Powell recltes that he was an intimate friend of Judge Roan, who pre- side dat the trial of Frank, and was con sided at the trial of Frank, and was con of the trial.
 He states squarely and unequivocaly that Judge Roan was not merely ln doubt as to the guilt of Frank, which doubt he publicly expressed but that he was actually con vinced of Franks innocence of the crime with which he was charged and for which he was tried Judge Powell himself says that after following the trial closely and counseling with Judge Roan during its prog ress he himself believes Frank to be an in- nocent man, unjustly convicted. This state ment Judge Powell has placed before the governor of Georgia as part of the applica- ton of Frank for communication of sen tence.
 Judge Roan, who presided at the trial, is dead. There are no reasons given why, with his conviction of the innocence of the pris- cner he did not grant hi mthe new trial

WAS PACIFICISM THE CAUSE?
Seattle Post -Intell!gencerl

The question to what extent the pacific ism of the British ministry was responsible fol the present war IS not purely academic. l. may have practical value for the future. The singular thing about the discussion is that the same view Of responsibility of the British ministry is taken both by some of those friendly to the allies end by the Ger mans themselves.
 For example, it has been argued that if the British government, from the very start, had taken the position, squarely and un- equivocally, that it would stand with France and Russia, and that it would consider the invasion of the neutrality of Belgium as warrant for war on Its part, this would have held Germany back, and that country would have found means to compel Austria to moderate its demands upon Serbia, which were the ostensble cause of the war.
 Arriving at the same conclusion by diff ferent reasoning, Herr BalEn states that We honestly believe that Sir Edward Gray could have stopped it. If on the first day when danger came up he had said England does not go to war because of the internal questions between Serbia and Austria then Russia and France would have found a way to compromise with Austria; and if Sir Ed ward Grey had said that England was ready to go to war for the sake of Serbia then Austria might have been more willing to compromise"
 In the view of both schools, it was Eng lands desperate attempts to preserve peace it" unwllinsness to take 8 strong tone or to show a determination to fight, if need be- that was responsible for the war. It was the reliance of Germany upon the strength of the pacficist sentiment in England. and the belief that England in no circumstances would take an active part, which was in fsct responsible for the war The great diplomatic efforts which England was mak ing for the preservation of peace were re- sponsible for the German belief that Eng land would keep out of it. There is an air of plausibility about the theory.

which was asked. It is legitimate to pre- oner, he did not grant him the new trial fer reasons precisely identical with those which prompted the jury to convict Frank the mob sentiment which famed out in the court room at all stages of the trial, and which demanded the conviction of Frank evidence or no evidence. l. is on record that the judge asked Franks attorneys to keep the prisoner out of the court room when the verdict was rendered, because of the certainty in the judges mind that should the verdict be of acquittaI, the pris- oner would be taken from the custody of the court and lynched. The judge appar entity, as well as the jury, bowed to the mob sentiment.
 At the bar of American public opinion it is the governor and the people of Georgia who are now arraigned in the case, Ii the sentence is carried into effect and Frank is hanged, the verdict of guilty against them will be rendered. Seattle Post -Intelhgencer.

THE ALASKA RAILROAD
Providence JOurnali

Interest in the project of a government railroad to "tap the boundless wealth. of Alaska will be revived by the announcement that the route has been selected. Seward will be the coast point.
 That no mistake has been made in the choice may be believed; for the commission i, composed of experienced engineers, in cluding representatives of the army, which has already made a wonderful record in orening up Alaska and bringing 1t into com runication with the outside world. In deed. the trunk line railroad, now about to be built, may be regarded as only a detail to the splendid system of highways which the army engineers have been developing. The railroad itself will need feeders of wagon roads and trails if it is to be prosperous.
 In time to come, summer tourists to Alaska, whose itineraries are now usually limited to the southeastern archipelago, with Sitka or Juneau as stopping-ott places, and the glttering gIories of Glacier bay as the final objectives, may voyage west across the expansive Gulf of Alaska enter Resurrec- tion bay, disembark at Seward, and take the Woodrow Wilson accommodation for Far banks and way stations. The trip through and across the Alaska range to the valley D nthe other side, where Fairbanks lies will offer spectacle grand and beautiful in myriad forms. There are few mountain landscapes anywhere to compare with this ice-clad bulwark, from which rises the lofti- est peak on American soil, Mount Mckinley.
