Knickerbocker Press: The governor of Georgia. John NJ. Slaton, is entitled to especial praise for having commuted the sentence of Leo M. Frank to life i'm prisonment. It was just act It was an act which required unselfish courage It was an act which is at the moment west unpopular in the state of Georgia. It was an act which is at the moment most political career of Governor Slaton. But when a man sees the right and does it he need not care for the noisy clamor of the unreasoning mob.
 Louisville Herald: Governor Slaton is finding his vindication over night. He is finding it in the approval of all good peo- pie. And he is finding it in the disap- proval of the mob element; in the outra- geous buffoonery of the automobile par ties who park their machines in front of his home and dare the militia to shoot; in the burning in effigy; in the necessity to close those queer contradictions, the | 'near-beer' saloons.
 | Raleigh News and Observer: Governor l Slaton has said that his conscience and his sense of duty would not permit him to do otherwise. No man would have
 had him stultify himself in his own inner
 self, and though it may not be today or | tomorrow, yet we believe there will come | a time when those who now bitterly de- nounce him because of the communication will agree that he acted the part of a man and Georgia would not have man
 whom it had honored by election as it's governor to act otherwise.
 | Kansas City Times The country has
 believed that Governor Slaton of Georgia was an honest man.
 The fact that he chose the right course instead of the politically expedient course Is vastly to his credit. That is the sort of courage the people of Georgia will be proud of in their governor--in the long run if not now.
 Washington Star: Communication of sem
 tence in the case of Leo NJ Frank is a
 relief to many people who followed the
 case with close attention without becom-
 ing convinced of the prisoners guilt. It
 is also in the nature of a reminder that , even justice is sometimes compelled tc
 resort to the compromise.
 Philadelphia Ledger: The communication of Leo Franks death sentence is as ex.
 cellent an example of the purpose ard the . exercise of executive clemency as ha.
 been exhibited in the United States 1T ] recent years. The reaction of mob sen
 timent in Georgia against the retiring , governor, who sent Frank to the penitcn stiary Instead of the death house, wil i. doubtless be strong; but In whatever ad

THE ROSE OF THE HEART

By William Butler Yeates in "The Wind Among the Reeds.' All things uncomely and broken. all
 things worn out and old, Tho cry of child by the roadway, the
 creak of a numbering cart The heavy steps of the ploughman, splash
 ing the winter mold, Are wronging your image that blossoms
 a rose in the deeps of my heart. The wrong of unshapely things is a wrong
 too great to be told
 I hunger to build them anew and sit on
 green knoll apart With the earth and the sky and the water,
 remade, like casket of gold For my dreams of your image that blos-
 soms a rose in the deeps of my heart.

ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES
THE MASTER OF HIS FATE.

THE MASTER OF HIS FATE. He met each day serenely,
 Without trace of care: The weather seemed to suit him, If rainy twas or fair. He ne'er was heard complaining That fate had used him wrong; The hills around re-echoed
 The music of his song. His ways were rough and ready, His clothes were common, too; But he would soon be wealthy, As everybody knew. And on his mighty shoulders Life's burdens lightly lay; He owned a small repair shop Upon a broad highway, Where motor cars disa bled
 Were mended in a trice, And, free from competition,
 He charged a fancy price.
