When Governor John Marshall Sla-
ton Of Georgia commuted the sentence
of Leo NJ. Frank to life imprisonment
he issued a statement in which he
said it meant he must live in obscur-
ity the rest o his days. He said:
Feeling as / do about this case
woud be a murderer If l allowed this
man to hang. 1t means that must
live in obscurity the rest of my days,
but l would rather be plowing in a
field than TO feel for the rest of my
life that l had that mans blood on
my hands"
Governor Slaton is forty-nine years
of age. He entered politics as a
member of the Georgia house of rep
resentatives in 1896 and remained

years. He was in the Georgia senate
for four years and became acting
governor when Hoke Smith was elect
ed to the United States senate. In
October, 1919, he was elected gover-
nor of Georgia to serve till June 80
of this year.

winds Just naturally killed a whole
lot Of grain, he said. Prospects

INFLUENTIAL BERLIN PAPER
ASKS PEOPLE TO BE- CALM
CRISIS WITH AMERICA SHOULD
BE VIEWED SANEI5Y DE-
CLARES EDITORIAL.

BERLIN, June ga strong edi-
torial published by the Berliner Tage-
blatt, a powerful exponent of the pol
icies of Chancellor Won Bethmanu
Hollweg, is expected to have an i'm
portant influence upon the German
American situation.
The editorial, dealing with the con-
troversy growing out of the sinking
of the Lusitania and the German sub
marine warfare, appealed to the peo-
pie of both countries to view the sit-
uation sanely and not be misled by
jingoes.
1T is evident that Americans have
been as badly misinformed regarding
Germanys attitude as Germany has
been regarding Americas" the Tage-
bait declared. Messages that Ger
mans were Indifferent to the possibil-
tiles of war with the United States
caused very bad feeling there. But
the Germans and their government
cannot too emphatically assert their
greatest desire is to maintain rela'
tions of the utmost friendliness with
America, through all honorable
means"
