SMALL ATTENDANCE, BUT
LOTS OF ENTHUSIASM

BY the decisive, although rather
ragged, score of Is to II the Tonopah
vC unteer fire department won the
first baseball game of the season IN
southern Nevada yesterday afternoon
The receipts of the game were not
commensurate with the attendance,

toned by people in the vicinity for
use as fuel and for building purposes,

MIR. BRYAN AND HIS CRITICS.

1t occasioned no surprise that Mr..
Bryan's resignation as Secretary of
State should call forth criticism. 1t
has come from all points of the com

to have the newspapers upon him. 1t
is no new experiments criticism and
denunciation. No doubt these critics
derive some satisfaction from this
sort of thing, else they would not
manifest such eagerness and zeal in
the matter. Be it said, however, to
the credit of the newspapers, that only
a comparatively few of them have
mtlmated for moment that he is
insincere, or that he is not entirely
consistent in declining to put his sig
nature to document whose princi-
pies he could not endorse. A few such
epithets as TRAITOR" "deserter," and
the like, have cropped out here and
there in the rabid newspapers of the
north, and an occasional one else

lie has as we all know, been in the

refuse to put it there except from
firm conviction of duty. We are not
qualified to pass upon the question
of the right or wrong of Mr.. Bryan's
course in this particular matter. He
may have acted hastily, but let no
man assert that he did not act sin
cerely and conscientiously.
AS we understand it, the difference
between the President and Mr.. Bryan
is one of method. Both of them are
working to the same end. The Arbi-
tration treaties drawn by Mr.. Bryan
and adopted and officially signed by
more than 30 foreign countries, the
United States included, provided Ger
tain steps to be taken before war
could be declared against any nation.
Mr.. Bryan, as we understand it, in
sisted that these provisions be res
pected and when an ultimatum was
prepared which did not cmbody these
preliminary provisions, the rejection
of which by Germany meant an i'm
mediate state of war between the
United States and Germany, Mr..
Bryan declined to agree, and resigned
and got out Of the way. His enemies
call this "desertion of the President"
Why not be candid and say that it
was characteristic adherence to n
duty he owed himself?

STANDING BY THE PRESIDENT

"Stand by the President" 1--WE are
with the President" 1--WE can trust
Woodrow Wilson" Such expressions
of faith and confidence in Mr.. Wilson
are heard on all sides, irrespective of
party affiliations, geographical lines
or social conditions. He has handled
all questions with such skill and alb
solute justice and right as to inspire
nationwide confidence. 1--WE must
stand by the President" and we will.
This does not mean, however, that the
attitude of the American people
should be, or ought to be, entirely I'M
critical, as the New York Indepen-
dent puts it. 1t is certain that in any
peril whatsoever, the American peo-
pie would stand behind and support
with their lives American principles
of political freedom. But this does
not mean, at least it should not mean,
that we regard it n moral or poll
tical duty to "stand behind" any min
lister of this government who does not
represent American principles. There
should be, therefore, now as never
before, perhaps, candid, free and out
spoken discussion of public questions,
and the untrammeled expression of
public opinion.

MIR. BRYAN'S MOTIVE.

One of the first questions to come
up in trial of a prisoner charged
with crime or misdemeanor. is that
OF motive. Was there a motive? If
motive can be proven there is
stronger presumption of guilt. If no
personal or selfish motive can be dis
covered there is, to that extent, the
presumption of innocence. Now, what
sinister motive or any other kind of
motive, did Mr.. Bryan have in sacri-
hcing his position of emolument and
honor? He says he resigned for the
reason that he could not conscien-
tiously sign the ultimatum to Ger
many. Was he lying about it? What
was his real motive anyway? Will
some one or more of Mr.. Bryan's
critics or his friends either, please
give US answer to the above question.

Leo M. Frank.
(Communicated)

AOOInfnunlCuleu.D
There is doubt as TO the guilt of
Leo M. Frank. Even the Judge adj
mits it. Conley, the main witness,
made contradictory statements. Con-
ley wrote the notes found on the poor
girls person. The fact of this uncer-
tainty should alone cause the Gov
ernor to commute Franks sentence.
1t is the only safe course. The right
to execute a guilty man has been de-
MED by several states. The execution
of an innocent man is most dread
full thing.
Thousands and thousands of peo-
pie all over the United States have
asked for communication. They have
not asked for a pardon. They have
asked tht he be conrned and made
to serve his state till he can prove
his ignorance, or for the rest of his
life if he fail to prove it. The people
asking this are supposed, above those
of all other countries, to be ruling
themselves. They are people whose
word is supposed to be the law of the
country. Should the voice of the peo-
pie be respected?
In the late negotiations with Ger
many, Wilson has used every effort
to get at the will of the people. In a
way the people of the United States
have held an election and have voted
to spare Franks life; they have voted
to commute the sentence to that OF
life imprisonment. / believe the Gov
ernor should listen to this plea. One
punishment takes the life of the man.
The other causes him to spend the
rest of that life in atonement for the
crime. | believe the Governor could
make no great mistake in listening
to the voice of the people, nd should
he err it is better to err on the side
of mercy.
Not often do the people rise in a
body and beg that mans life be
spared, and when they do some res
pect should be shown their wishes.
Should Governor Slaton commute
this sentence, he would only be doing
what every state In the Union is
drifting towards-abolition of CAPT
tai punishment. Six, at present, out
of the forty eight, refuse to execute
citizen for any crime whatsoever.
They have abolished capital punish
ment. Then in consideration of the
uncertainty of guilt and in considera-
ton of the pleas of the people why
may not Governor Slaton in this case
do the same and commute the SEN
tence? Fervently the United States
is hoping that he may.
