PRESS ON FRANK CASE.
New York Times.

The State of Georgia should either
apprehend the murderers Of Leo NJ.
Frank and punish them according to
Its laws. Or its people should honor
them by election to the chief judicial
and administrative Offices in their gift.
Any halfway course will be cow
ardly evasion. Either the lynchers
OF Frank faithfully represent public
opinion in Georgia or they do not rep
resent 1t. If Georgia approves lynch
Ing, then honors bestowed upon the
lynchers would attest at once the
shameless courage OF the Georgia pub
lie and Its willingness to defy public
opinion in all the other States of the
Union, We must assume, however,
that the prevailing feeling In the State
of Georgia Is one of horror and exc
Grafton of the crime. If that Is the
case. the lynchers will be punished.
There can be no question as to the
feasibility OF Identification and arrest
The holiness OF the crime and the
numbers engaged in its preparation
make it practically certain that every
one of the number is known--known
to somebody. Every one of them Is
a murderer, every one Of them should
suffer the penalty of premeditated
murder. If there Is in Georgia a will
to punish these men, they will be pun
ished.

things-first. radical change from
the top TO the bottom OF the present
system Of government, and second,
a loyal and unflagEing support OF the

in advance.
Many cities in this country have
taken an interest IN their governments
and seem to be getting satisfactory
results. Their citizenship is of no
higher type than Richmond's, their
resources no larger. their business no
better. In only one respect have they
an advantage over Richmond--that
il an interest In their city govern
ments and a determination that those
governments shall be brought to and
maintained at the very highest point
Of efficiency. But before there Is any
lasting result. there must be a last
