Louisville. Aug. 18-The Louisville
Courier-Journal says:
"Will Georgia stand for the murder
of Leo M. Frank? Will State Of
the American Union violate every
principle and tradition upon which the
greatness of the country is based By
indorsing such a crime?
"There can be but one negative an
swer-the conviction and execution OF
leaders of the mob. 1t will not do 70
say that their identity cannot be dis
covered. If there is will there is a
way. Governor Slaton did his duty.
Let no thoughtless observer of subse-
quent developments say that he sue
ceeded in saving the State the dis
grace of the murder and that the re-
sponsibility for it now rests upon ali
irresponsible mob.
"Until or unless the murderers of
Frank are made to pay the death
penalty for a crime unexampled in
the annals of America, hardly eclip-
sed in Russian or Turkish records,
Georgia and not the ruffians who took
the prisoner from MilledgeviIle to
Marietta must bear the blame

SCORES FRANK LYNCHING
Former Governor Who COMMITTED
Sentence Terms Party Assassins

San Francisco, Aug. 18- Former
Governor John M. Slaton, of Georgia
who as chief executive of that State
committed to life Imprisonment the
sentence of death passed upon Leo M d.
Frank and who is here visiting the
Panama-Pacifc Exposition. was in
former yesterday morning that Frank
had been lynched.
"The act was consummate out
rage" said Slaton, ''and every mah
engaged in the lynching should be
hanged for he is an assassin. Suts
an act is contrary to the civilization
of Georgia and one which every good
citizen will condemn.
al could use no language too con-
demnatory. l believe the Governor
of Georgia will use all the power of
the State to punish the malefactors
who disgraced the civilization of
Georgia.
"Their act was one Of coWardlce'
which belongs alone to the assassin.
81 am shocked and Mortified beyond
expression. Any man who approves
of this action of the mob of murders
is unworthy to be a Georgian.
"Any man or newspaper which cc.l-
|. dones this offense ought to be driven
out of the State. But the conduct OF
this miserable mob assasslns Is the
conduct of the same sort of people VINO
shoot a man from behind fence or
murder a woman from a cowardly
heart.
"Of course I'm not afraid to return
to Georgia" he said. This act OF
lynching of Frank is not that OF the
good people of my State. It's the act
of few criminals. I'm going to spend
the rest of my life in Georgia. I'll be
back home by the middle Of septem-
ber."

CRUZ OF THE
SITUATION.

The eyes of Europe are turned up
on the Balkan states. Their decision
is anxiously awaited, as upon then
course depends in a large measure
the outcome of the present war. Ger
man and Austrian diplomats have
worked assiduously to keep the small
Ter states neutral, while the allies
have been offering them tempting
bats to cast their lot with them.
The Baltimore Americon says:
Nothing in the war in Europe has
been more remarkable than the cycle
by which the movement of the war
currents, first sweeping from the Bal
kans and blighting the greater pow
ers. have returned to beat their hot
breaths upon the Balkan states
themselves. Volcanic would be an
inadequate expression for the ire
mendous heat of the Balkan War
crater at the present time. Berlin
says the psychological moment has
come and the Allies say the psyche
logical moment has come. The little
states cannot avoid it.
Greece, with the war party pro-
Allies in the saddle; Bulgaria, in tho
pit and bid for by both sides, With
Rumania practically prepared to take
sides with the Allies, constitute the
crux of the situation, barring Serbia
'The little state that was the d.
rect cause of the war blaze that has
swept the greater part of the world
IS quibling over the furlongs of ter
ritory of Macedonia to yield to Bull
garia for that powers allegiance to
the cause of the Allies. The Teutons
are prepared to march through the
Balkans at the first drop of a hat.
First by peace; if not, then by war.
is the Berlin program.
somehow or 0ther, as one Oh tneir
political writers says, with Peter or
Paul, Germany must make connec-
tions with Turkey which will guaran-
tee fresh possibility for warlike and
for peaceful deeds. Turkey is out of
ammunition, the campaign for Che
Dardanelles is being fiercely pressed
by the Allies. The Balkan rolte is in
contest. Which side will win the
favor of the states that for genera
ton have been the critical point upon
the map of Europe? The next era of
the war will pivot upon the decisions
of the Balkans"

ton aGeorgia's Shame" the Atlanta
Constitution says Of the Frank lynch
ing:
aThe sovereignty of the State OF
Georgia has been assaulted, desecrat,

| is too strong to apply to the DELHI,
crate and carefully conspired deed OF
the mob.
"The strangest part about it all is
that it occurred at all. There is not
q man. woman or child of reasonable
age in Georgia but could have predict
ed the possibility of this 'wantonly
unlawful tragedy. Most Of all, those
State authorities responsible for pris-

the well-known state Of public feel
ing, emphasized by repeated threats
and rumors of violence to the prison
er, and further melted by MUIR

penitentiary camp. it was the duty of
those State authorities, their sworn
duty, to 60 to every necessary ex-

Georgia cannot retrieve the act
for which. through failure of her Off

that is punishment of the Offenders
punishment of the slayer of states

DISGRACE ON
CIVILIZATION.

The mutilated corpse of Leo NJ
Frank is scheduled to pass through
Alexandria some time to-day ion a
Southern Railway train for the home
of his parents in Brooklyn where All
aged father and mother are sobbing
behind closed blinds. The mob has
wreaked it's vengeance and not only
has the sovereign state OF Georgia
been outraged but a stain has been
placed upon our entire southern coun-
try. Hon J. T. Hef1in of Alabama,
in a speech at the banquet of R. o..
Lee Camp of Confederate Veterans
FEBRUARY %. 1913, spoke of of the
birth of the commonwealth he repres-
ents in the lower house of Congress.
Using beautiful figures of speech ne
told Of the birth Of his state, of its
reaching womanhead, her nuptials
when she became the bride of Uncle
Sam, the jars of 1861 occasioned by
the husband discharging the family
servants without consulting the mis-
tress, the divorce proceedings which
followed and the decision at Appomat-
tox adverse to the plaintiff, the recon
Citation and Alabama again falling
into the arms of Uncle Sam. All this
was pretty and sent thrills through
the audience who realized that Virgin
ia, too, had been grass widow for
four years when a reconciliation was
effected.
Mr.. Hehin's words were equally
applicable to all the southern states,
and Judge S. A. Roddenbery, at that
time Congressman from Georgia,
who was a guest at the banquet, let
it be known that Georgia had simil-
-ar sentimental chapter in her history.
But in Alabama Cornelia is presid-
ing over the happy household, while
in Georgia, temporarily it is hoped,
Xantippe is in the trousers.
The scenes in. connection with the
brutal murder of Leo NJ. Frank are
disgusting and are bringing forth
words of indignation throughout the
country. Five thousand men. womei
and children gathered around the
dangling body, and vote was taken
whether to mutilate it or deliver the
remains to the coroner. The vote
was against mItilation, but men in
the crowd leaped on the body when it
was lowered and trampled on the dead
mans face as they would have
treated a mad dog or a rattlesnake.
Families made the occasion holiday
and parties from the neighboring Sec
ton flocked to the scene. while au-
tomobiles blocked the road to Mariet-
ia.
When the Lody was cut down parts
of the shirt were torn away by sou.
venir hunters. The moose around
Franks neck was cut in pieces and
distributed and the mob demanded
that the body be exposed, and thous-
ands filed by viewing it with evid-
ences Of grim satisfaction.

PATHETIC
SCENE.

In Eugene Sues "Wandering Jew"
Samuel, custodian of the Rennepont
fortune, and his wife Bathsheba are
represented in their quiet home in
Paris. The Hebrew couple, both well
stricken in years, are engaged in
taking an inventory of their affairs.
In the midst of their work the ma
tron ceased to talk and fell into q re-
verie. Samuel became alarmed and
drew near to her What is the mat

slowly; The 10Th of October. 1926" "
Samuel understood-it was the ami
