To the Editor of The Sun-Sir:
Your eloquent article this morning on

Why should the President hesitate
any longer to follow the example Of
President Cleveland? The evidence
in the present instance is, as you
correctly observe, much stronger than
that which impelled Mr.. Cleveland
to dismiss the British minister. This
Is true even if the letters now pub
lished in the World are alone con-
sidered; but the offences are more
numerous and incomparably more
serious il the whole situation is con-
sidered. For the Lusitania massacre
outweighs everything else.
The helpless victims of that awful
slaughter cry aloud from their wat
cry graves. Shall their cries be lon
ger unheeded? More than three
months have elapsed since those un-
fortunate Americans. men. women
and children. were murdered by the
Germans more than three months
since the President threatened TO
take action. Have those murders
been forgotten so soon? The Ger
mans hope so, and Il Is evident that
they intend to do nothing in response
TO the twice repeated demands of the
President for disavowal and repara-
tion. But what will the President do?
Will he do any thing? Is he waiting
TO hear from the people? The peo-
pie, though silent. demand action.
There can be no mistake about Nthis.
Let The Sun then give utterance
to that demand once more, and again
and again until the President In his
study must needs listen. Has he for
gotten the answer OF the people 10
President Cleveland's action? Let him
but act and the people will support
him. They are longing for leader

needed no urging. Why should Mr..
Wilson be less resolute? The people
will not desert him.
The people demand that the Pres
ident should indicate his adherence

which are needed now. Let him not

that the outlook is exceedingly encouraging. The
strength Of the appeal that the institution made TO
the students who enrolled the first year is shown by
the fact that all except Of them have enrolled for
their sophomore year. The favorable impression made
by the college upon the public is indicated by the
registration Of twenty freshmen, with material
largement Of that registration regarded as certain
In view Of these things it surprising that those
who have direct charge Of the affairs OF the college

The College for Women was established because it
felt that Delaware girls should have advantages
EQUAL to those accorded 10 Delaware boys in the mat

Ottoman territory is fair prey to all

grudge they bear. If they can re-
train from quarreling among them

The Death of The
"Due Process of Law"
(From the washington Post.l

The most precious outcome of the
civil war was the due process of law,
clause OF the fourteenth amendment
which provides that:
mo State shall make or enforce
any law which shall abridge the
privileges or immunities Of citizens Of
the United States; nor shall any
State deprive any person of life, lib
erty or property without due process
of law, nor deny to any person with
in its jurisdiction the equal protec-
tion of the laws"
Everybody understands that in
criminal case due process of law"
means a fair trial. according to the
law of the land. A trial by a mob in
a courthouse does not constitute such
fair trial as the due process of
law clause guarantees.
After Leo Frank had been tried by
a mob in a Georgia courthouse
mob that intimidated the jury and
overawed the judge-he appealed for
protection to the United States Su-
preme Court after the due process

amendment. The only issue present
ed was this Was the petitioner tried
as guaranteed by the due process
Of law" clause or was he tried by
mob in defiance of the guarantee given
by the constitution?
A minority of the court, represented
by Justices Holmes and Hughes, held
in weighty and deliberate opinion,
that Leo Frank had been denied due
process" that he had been tried by
a mob. The minority. speaking

ing the facts showing how the jury

trial was in a court of competent jur-
