Editor virginian:
Sir,--I am surprised at your con-
domination of Governor SIat6n's
courageous and unselfish action in
committing the death sentence of Leo
Frank. whom he did not believe to
be proven guilty. He had nothing to
gain and probably much to lose In
thus following the dictates of his con-
science, and the country would be
better off If more of our politicians
would act so DISTINGUISHED a part.
Personally he believes the negro Con-
ley is most probably the murderer
OF Mary Phagan, and he has had
the courage of his convictions, even
if II condemns him to political OBJ
security for the rest of his life! %.
rare politician! would there were
more like you. If there were per-
haps some of our fellow citizens
might still be alive and freely
Seriously, when we are dealing out
capital punishment, would 1t not be
as well sometimes to recall the pre-
cept, let him that Is without sin
among you cast the first stone"
(This sentence was spoken by the
Divine Master of one legally con-
demned to death when proven
guilty.) More STILL must we strive

before approving the blood lust of
even a State. which demands vic
tim, regardless of proof? There is
nothing more sacred in murder COM
mitted by a State than by an in
fdividual, and the State of Georgia
has no right to complain IL she has
been hauled up to the bar of pub
lie opinion by Legislatures and indi-
viduals who refused to stand by
"consenting unto the death OF a
man they did not believe to be proven
guilty. Finally. Georgia is to be con-
graduated on having had Governor
who frustrated her mistaken verdict.
Yours sincerely,
MRS. FIELDING LEWIS TAYLOR.

Our correspondent speaks of our
condemnation of Governor slaton's
courageous and unselfish action and
OF the Governors following the die

not denied the Governor followed the
dictates OF his conscience and have not

agisators." n memory serves US right
these are the identical words used 30
often in Virginia prior to a certain
memorable date when virginians did
their duty on great moral issue.
But for the further delectation and
eniightlnent of our sorely beset con-
temporary. which wants to know why
some steps are not taken in Georgia
to enforce the law we quote again
from the Chronicle. II Gays:
Two bills have already been
introduced In the Senate and
three in the House. In the main,

Now while these little actual facts
may not prove as attractive to our
afternoon contemporary as little es-
says on its own similarity TO a whale,
we believe they will prove more in

DR.. Harvey W. Wiley has done q
great work as pure food expert for
the United States. He has educated
the public to proper precautions and
has. doubtless saved many lives and
certainly has added long years TO
countless others by compelling the
printing OF food compounds on the
labels of packages.
But we cannot follow DR.. Wiley IN
his latest crusade. We. must retain
the kiss. What matters It IL there
are germs in all the mouths; there is
love In every heart as well. and since
the first man stole the first kiss--or
thought he stole it--lips pressed to lips
have signified the union Of heart to
heart.
Spare us the kiss, doctor, whatever
else you take. There Is little enough
sentiment left In this old world any
how. without depriving us of the one
indisputable evidence OF undying
sentiment

UP TO THE WET PRESS.

Newport News. good friend? Will the
example of the bankers and druggists
be followed by the editors?
We do not anticipate any grea,
amount of eagerness among our
whilom wet and presently dry con-
temporaries to subscribe to the dry
banquet. We judge by the scorn with
which they recently greeted our sug-
gestion that It might be a graceful, IL
not financially profitable. thing to
discontinue the advertisement of alco-
hoiic liquors In Virginia in view Of the
fact that a tremendous majority of
voters oppose the liquor traffic- This
suggestion. we say, was greeted with
scorn by such notable prohibitionists
as the Roanoke Times and the Rich
mond Evening Journal. one even
stating that editors of papers which
carry liquor ads consider IL somewhat
of an insult to suggest that they carry
the ads for the money that Is in the
business. We note. however, that
both the ads and the. revenue continue.
and here In Richmond both seem to
be on the increase. More of this
anon.
AS a practical suggestion. and In
order that the public may know where
the editors stand, we move that a
vote be taken here and now, and That
between the present time and the as
ISOLATION banquet, every paper insert
a note in its editorial columns stating
whether It opposes or favors liquor at
the annual banquet. No one win be
able TO say the motion is sprung on
him on short notice. The virginian
will take pleasure in keeping tally and
publishing the votes as they appear.
And we hereby cast the first vote.

thinks that because a majority OF the

tors by the way--favored prohibition
that they saouid make practice con-
form TO preachment" and abstain from

snnuaa banquet. The Norfolk paper
ccncindes:
'Tt would be the height OF In

are SO eager to deny to others"
Now all this, as the saying goes,
c&lls for more talk. We have not the
slightest hesitancy In declaring that
the editors who fought for prohibition
believe In the principle. and will so
direct their actions. We wonder of
the editors who fought prohibition are
willing TO respect the will OF the peo-
pie and forego that which the state
has outiawed.

Before undertaking a discussion
with the correspondent whose letter
On the Frank case appears today it
will be wen TO have before us the
statement of the virginians position
- fae case. In discussing the action
- che Governor our chief contentious
ware expressed az follows:
I'VE have not hegitated to de-
clare that we dfi not know the
evidence and could not state
whether Frank was guilty or in
nOccnt, but we have maintained
tho right of Georgia to decide
~ her own affairs
ssRegardless of the present
case, our belief Is that inter
ference with court verdicts IL un-.
wise as general principle.
A Governor may feel
as ara Governor siaton. that he
cannot take the responsibility of
sending man to death. but the
larger view should be that he
cannot take the responsibility of
throwing down the bars OF crimi-
nal justice that protect society,
very little ct best, from pent-up
foods OF crime"
