"BECK'S'' AMEN CORNER

HARVARD and Princeton don't
seem to object very strenuousIv
to Yale using some football stars
who were "benched" because thew
had played Summer basebaITD for

be permitted, let it be open and

deception that is being practiced
every year by many college athletes.

uted directly to baseball in 1915.
The report shows that SO of the IA

three from collisions.
Injuries showed "a slight decrease

Michigan had a green team last
year-a. team that looked like easy

foes. But it wasn't so easy because
Michigan had Johnny Maulbetcsh, the
human buller'-the man who kept the
gridirOn enthusiastic from forgetting
there was such team as the Maize
and Blue.
Michigan was great in 1918 because It
had Craig-the aIl-American half
back.
Colgate looms up formidabIy this
year because IL has in its backfield
a chap named Anderson whirlWind
in skirting ends and a terrific line
smasher. Virginia beat Yale because
II had a halfback-E- n Mayer-WhO

was an Irresistible force when he hit
the Blue line.
One star baseball player may not win

What does the Wisconsin State Journal
really know about the Frank case? Is it
open to conviction? Is it willing to learn?
Becker has been condemned by the Hearst
papers, and the Jew papers of New York,
because he would not offer himself as a
witness.
In New York, the defendant can be sworn
as witness in his own defense, but he must
submit to cross-eXamination.
In Georgia, defendant can 60 upon the
stand and make a statement which the jury
is authorized to believe, in preference to all
the sworn testimony; and the State cannot
ask him a single question, unless he volun-
tarily comedies the State that privilege.
The Jew papers and Hearst say that
Becker's refusal to face a cross-examination
showed his guilt.

WHY did Dr.. Stockbridge take his agri-
cultural pen into the frank case!
What business has farm paper medding
In politics, as the Ruralist periodically does?
Why did it butt into the Frank case, and
publish a lot of lies on the people and the

If Stockbridge had to tell his readers
about the jew who murdered Mary Phagan,
why didn't he tell the truth?
He could have seen the official record at
the Courthouse, and he could have seen the
Supreme Courts decision at the State
Library.
What excuse can he offer for not examin-
ing these official records before libelling the

acted as the partner of firm of lawyers
defending notorious criminal (convicted
By all the judicial processes, and had pros
tltuted his power as Governor to liberate

In ether words, would the people of Wis

against Governor La Toilette, if he had
retired the case OF his oeon client, had set
aside the verdict of the jury, and had re-
qersed the decisions Of teco Supreme Courts,
III order to save his 01o21 client from the
sentence Of death!
Does the Wisconsin State Journal know
Of any ether case where a Governor has used
his official power as an asset III his laW-frm
business?
Docs the State Journal approve of this
astounding prostitution of gubernatorial
power?
Is the pardoning power mercantile COM
modify, to be bought and sold? Isn't it
practically sold, when one partner, in the
Governors office, does for his firm what no
other tribunal would do?
They had tried Judge Roam for new
trial, and had failed: they had tried the
Supreme Court of Georgia, and had failed.
They had tried Judge Benz. II. Hill for
new trial, and had failed and once more
they went to the Supreme Court of Georgia,
and again they failed.
They then went to the Supreme Court of
the United States, and there they also failed.
Then they went before the Prison Com

At last, they went before their own part
ner-Goyernor John NJ. Slaton-and at last
they won
When partners cannot win before part
ner, the case has to be bad, indeed.
Does the Wisconsin State Journal catch
the point?

editor Of the State Journal:
Write to Leo M. Frank, care of Warden
). 3. Smith, State Farm, Georgia, and ask
him the question
"Why did you not allow the State to ques-
ton you about your case?"
Ask him another question, towit
"Why did your wife refuse to come to
you, in Jail, during the first three weeks of
your lmprlsonment?"
Ask him another
"Why didn't you tell the Coroners Jury
that Jim Conley was with you in your fac
tory at the time Mary Phagan was assaulted
and killed?"
Ask him, also
why did you change your clothes i'm
mediately after the girl was murdered, and
who was it that washed that suit of clothes!"
Ask him this one, too
'Why did you not tell the officers that Jim
Conley could write, and that the notes found
beside the corpse were his writing; and why
did you fail to see that Conley, IN these
notes, was putting the crime upon another
negro who was not at the factory at all
as 1ou and Jim qrere?'
Ask him these, by way of full measure
G.l Why did your own family, and race,
suspect you, and employ the best lawyers to
defend you, before any Gentle accused you?
(2) Why did you and your lawyers
follow up the false accusation made in Jim
Conleys writing, by trying to frame up"
the negro whom you hpe1c to be innocent?
(3,) Why did you tell Chief Lanford-
who was having your statement taken down
that Mary Phagan came to your office sat
81 :05 or 1910, maybe :07, on that fatal
Saturday, when, as matter of fact, the
State proceed that you were not in your
office, and that neither you nor Mary were

it that Barrett found on his machine Mon

on the machine when he quit using it, Fri

What woman lost the hair, and how came
she to lose it, and what was she doing in
the metal room, achero Mary qcorhed?
She went in there, and lost the golden
brown tress, some time between Friday eve
ming and Monday morning: what is you1'

cause of her visit to the metal room on a
legal holiday, and the manner in which her
halr got on the handle or Barrett machine
co. What is your theory of the way the
crime was committed, and the place where
committed? And how do you say her body

Glands folded across the breast?"
~ Why did you never suspect that
Conley committed the crime; and WHY, after
he confessed, did you need lawyer when
you were asked to confront the negro and

In other words, chy did you merer accuse

But all your works are mere disasters compared with chromos by the masters. Whatever graft you are pursuing. whatever fancy stunt you're doing, it is becom- ing to be modest, for when your fame is at it's broadest. it still looks cheap to men surrounding, beside great names, down ages sounding.

SHALL ARKANSAS GO BACK

This IS the question hundreds of thoughtful men are asking now since the cotton and seed prices have gone up. Of course the temptation is great and if cotton were to be planted next week, it is possible that many would blow up the fence corners. But that would be foolish. It only takes about SO much cotton to supply the worlds need and if the South were to go beyond the demand the price would go down and the farmer would get less than it cost him to raise it. The Extension Division of the Agricultural College and U. s. Department of Agriculture is confident that the farmers of Arkansas will not go back to ex- elusive cotton farming. The Farmers Union and the business men of the state and college and the U. s. Department of Agri- culture are agreed that the farm CTS vii! lose money if they do go back. Let all play safe and raise a big garden and lots of feed for stock, and get more stock and make the entire living and own the cotton free from mortgage when it goes to the gin next fall.
