WASHINGTON'S FLAGS FOR GAR.
 ENCAlIP1IENT

WASHINGTON. D. C.. Aug 2O.- For the first lime in tho nations his- tory Uncle Sam has consented to tenn porary relinquish control of one of his greatest treasures-the Washington collection of historic flags Of tho Re- public. Many attempts have been made to borrow the army and navy 0ag collection for exhibition at pat riotic gatherings. but it remained for the veterans in charge of the Forty ninth annual encampmcnt and Fif- tsth anniversary Of the Grand Re- view of the G. A. R. which will be held in this city September 27-Octob- or 9. to be first to receive this privi- ;ege.
 As famous fag collections so- tho American exhibit is not extraordinary large but Uncle Sam demonstrates his lcyc and pride by placing a cash val uation of S15,0u0 on the collection. Several of Che more famous of the bat. ue llags, threadbarc and torn by the conflicts of 1776. 1872, 1861 are esti. hated to be worth Sl O00 each
 The Citizens committee in charge of the encampment win place the naes on exhibition under military and police guard in a storeroom on Penn sylyania avenue and win lend the flags for the purposets of display to all responsible citizens of Washing ton. who will in turn deposit bonds equal to the valuation of the flag sc- lccted.
 Alth ugh the Nationl capital has cneasy won commendltlon for its decorations for patriotic events spec ial efforts are being made to make uis feature of the encamprlant even more aotiblo.
 The business establishments along Pennsylvania Avenue where the Grand Review will pass will be draped by gay bunting by day and by illumin ated by ornamental electric lights by night. During the week four giant search lights will flash their rays up on the Capitol while Q similar nun Der will turn night into day at the U s. Treasury building at the west end of milelong Pennsylvania avenue. IT addition to the search lights the Citi zens Committee expects to festoor the historic thoroughfare with thou sands of small electric bulbs.

 SPEAKS FOR THE
 GEORGIA LYNcHERS

THANE. Aug 27.-To tho Edllor- AS it is only through argument and getting other views on the subject that we learn. ] see no harm in ex- pressing my views through the col umns or your esteemed paper. In re- gard Go the Leo NJ. Frank case again, wiu scy that you are right It was not the issue as to the guilt or inno- cence Of Prank.
 That he was guilty has already been proven. There Is no question or argument Go that The question that seems most important to me. is whether the judgment Of one man is to be taken against twelve. Should Che laws Of Georgia or any other state give one man power Co override the Judgment of twelve men?
 Gov. Slaton no doubt was not sure of his CFranks) guilt. and not know ing the prisoner. nor hearing any part of the trial. ht had only what we all have Go base his judgment. "rhe Pressl seemingly the people of Geor- gia did not think one mans judgment was better than twelce. and in that ease. by taking Frank by force and lynchlng him. they said the laws was wrong. In giving the Governor pow CT to cheat justne and take the au- thority away from the courts. leaving the criminal seemingly entirely in the rands Of the Governor.
 Life imprisonment would. as you say. be quite as dreaded as a death penalty. if even that was carried out. IL seldom ever is The records of an state penitentiaries all over the Unit ed States. show that the average time that @ Life Timer" actually serves. is thirteen years. Tn seven cases out Of ten they are pardoned. and the oth- CT three die. The latter. Of course, serves his life sentence while the oth- CT seven are turned loose again among low-abiding citizens to meance their safety and happiness.
 For this reason. criminals no long CIT fear the death penalty as they are almost certain to be pardoned af ter a period of a dozen years. Of course there are exception. but few. Is the course Gov. Slaton has taken in com muting Franks sentence only encour ages instead Of lessening it, and do not condemn the Governor, but I dc his Judgment.

PIONEER PLAN
 INTERIOR HOME

FAIRBANKS. Aug 9-At a meet Ing of lhe executive board of the To- cal lgloo of Pioneers last evening, it was decided that the Igloo win do an in its power toward the establish mont of @ home for indlgent pioneers at the Big Cinema Hot Springs. The action was taken on the recommen- datlon of Representative Dan Driscoll who brought tho matter of tho home up at the Pioneer meeting.
 Those present at the meeting last evening were Delegate Wickersham, Mir. Driseoll and the members of the committee of Pioneers, Messrs. H. E. st. George. r. II. Deal and Ed Her ing. During the course of the meet ing Delegate Wickersham offered to investigate conditions for a home et the Springs at his own expense and his offer was accepted. He will ac- cording leave within the next few days for the Big Cinema with Q guide, probably Bob. Chamberlain.
 At the first session Of the Alaska Legislature Q bil was introduced by Representative Driscoll providing for tho appropriation of the sum of &C., 900 for Pioneers Home in the In- terlor. the same to be located at some hot springs known to have me. dicinal qualities. The bill carried with 1t an appropriation of S5,OOO for the first years maintenance of the home. The bill passed.
 Nothing was done during the first two years owing to the shortage of funds in the Territorial treasury. but the matter was again brought to the attention of the legislature last spring. After considerable discus sion both in the house and the sen ate, the appropriations were renew ed.
 When the bill passed a committee consisting of the governor the dele gate and the surveyorgeneral of the Territory were named to investigate suitable place in Interior Alaska for the establishment of Q pioneers home They have never been able to get together since that time until this spring when the matter was brought to Governor Strong's attention when he visited Fairbanks. At that time he empowered Delegate Wickersham to so ahead with his investigations in his name.
 When the delegate returns from the Big Cinema, he will render a report to his contemporaries of the Commit tee. Upon that report will depend whether or not a Pioneers home will be established on tue Big Chena.- l Fairbanks News-Miner)

would never have had trial-a thing that convinces me that Frank was the guilty one. The Negro would never have had even a hearing while Frank had fair trial
 Too many desperate and degener- ate criminals are at large today be- cause some governor has been in- fiuenced by sympathetic friends or relatives and turned out upon the public. one. who sooner or later will face the bars again. Perhaps an in- nocent life has been lost by tho pro cess. So I say if we are to have Q law, making the crime of cold-blood- cd murder punishable by death, car ry that law out or change the law.
 Another thing. it would be next to impossible for the number of men said to have composed the mob that took Prank from Che penitentiary to have forced the guard and taken 8 prisoner from any modern peniten- tiary. which is a thing that leaves a reasonable doubt as to whether the officials of the prison themselves were willing to give Frank up. If such were the case. as it looks to ne. 1t would show that the commu- tation of the sentence was resented even in official circles.
 [ appreciate and honor the stand you have taken for the State of Geor- gin and Dixie land in regard to the esteem in which men hold their wo- menkind. in that country All of whom would die for the honor of their wo- men. and let us hope that Franks ghastly and untimely death win be a lasting warning to all who would vio- late Georgia's most sacred law.
