Pictures of the Lynching.

Within few hours after the lynch
ing of Leo Frank at Marietta, Ca,
picture post cards were being offered
for sale in the streets of Atlanta
showing the body hanging from a
tree and crowd of men and boys
standing around it. 1t is reported
that these cards were eagerly bought
by the people. The postal authori-
ties, however, promptly barred them
from the mails.
This is shocking revelation of a
morbid public mind, The picture was
revolving in its details and grewsome
suggestiveness. 1t brought forth the
horrors of tragedy that should
make all Georgia weep for shame.
But unhappily there appears to be
little of that emotion in Georgia to-
day. Men of the highest standing are
in public approving the crime, and
there is nothing but open scofing
for the official efforts to find the
members of the mob in order to bring
them to justice. Nobody believes
that there will be trial, or if through
some chance somebody is arrested
and brought to court that there will
be other than prompt acquittal.
These picture post cards stand as
a type of the public sentiment that
approves lynch law. They are mark
of national disgrace and a l1umilia-
ton that is felt by law-abiding and
respecting citizens of all states.

CARRANZA.

] do not like Carranza-
His whiskers interfere;
/ like that frank expression
Which diplomats revere.
One cannot we'll discover
His purpose in his face,
Or guess what things may lie beyond
His Cordillera lace.
For me the flag Of villa
Still undefeated waves,
For not more reason. I suppose,
Than that the fellow shaves,
I like his kind Of candor,
For be they base or kind
His thoughts contrive no bramble bush
To hide themselves behind.
I cannot trust Carranza-
His whiskers intervene;
They constitute. believe me,
A diplomatic screen.
One cannot well determine
His motive in his face,
And only God knows what's beyond
His Cordillera lace.

Barbecues and Politics.

The republicans OF Indiana arc get
ting down to business in the old
style. They are meeting at barbecues,
and going into committee of the
whole on the state of the Union.
AT one of these open-air functions
the other day there was large at
tendance, and among the spellbinders
were both local and imported party
celebrities. Messages of encourage
ment were delivered, and much en-
thusiasm was aroused.
A conspicuous feature of the oc-
casion was a tribute to Mr.. Far
banks. Large posters bearing his
picture and the inscription, For
President, 1916" adorned many trees
and vehicles. They met the gaze on
every hand, and testified to the fact
that the former Vice President is
very solid" still with the home folks.
Undoubtedly his nomination next
year would make the campaign i'll
Indiana very strenuous and interest
ing.
Mr.. Fairbanks has two chances. If
the middle states develop strength
for first place, his claims should be
among the best. He needs no intro
duction to the country. He has
served with distinction in two nation
al offices-a United States senator
ship and the vice presidency. He took
with him into retirement the respect
of both sides, and retains it.
If the east secures first place, the
middle country will probably get sec
ond, and Indiana will be good state
to choose from. The democrats will
20 there again for their second man.
The east and Indiana on the one side
would then be met by the east and
Indiana on the other, and Mr..
Marshall and Mr.. Fairbanks could
fight it out for home supremacy.
Both have shown strength at home
In past contests.
How great the injury to the demo-
cratic party of Indiana by reason OF
the election frauds uncovered in the
state is a question. Some party
leaders of prominence have been con-
victed, and are now in prison. Other
leaders are under indictment and
awaiting trial. That this will tell
somewhat on party prestige is very
likely. How much nobody may say.
1t is we'll understood that Mr.. Fair
banks Is Indiana's favorite repub-
lican son, and has been for nearly
twenty years. He came forward
after the retirement to private life of
Gen. Harrison, and has been the
leading figure of his party in the
state ever since; and this booming
of him for President in gatherings
where toothsome roast meats and
condiments contribute to good feel
ing and expressions of admiration
shows that his fellow citizens know
the value of taking time by the fore
lock.

Difficulties in preserving an abso-
1ute1y peaceful attitude may yet be-
come so great as to make Mr.. Bryan
feel that the failure to nominate him
in Baltimore was not so great a mis-
fortune after all. 1t would have been
much more difficult to resign from
the Office of President than it was to
relinouish the State portfolio.

Agitation for high tariff stand by

A realization that the members of his
big family should be encouraged to live
more in the open air
Uncle Sam and seems to have come
=. suddenly to Uncle
VacatloAlsts. Sam. for he has done
more, perhaps, in the past twelve
months to stimulate and encourage the
out-of door movement than in any 9TH
err equal period of time. First came
the bid for greater recreational use
of the national forests, and now the
general land office has just completed
a sale, without precedent, of sites es-
pecially for villas on the banks of the
beautiful F'lathead lake in Montana.
To attract larger numbers Of vaca-
tionists to the vast forests owned by
the government. the forest service Sc
cured legislation that permits the leaS-
ing of sites for summer homes for as
many as thirty years for merely nomi-
nal rentals. This arrangement, which
went into effect last spring, makes
worth while the erection of substantial
improvements, and has already greatly
increased the number of persons So
journing in the forests in the summer
season. In many of the forests applf-
cations to lease five-acre tracts are
pouring in, and dwellings, from simple
log cabins to pretentious homes are
springing up in mountain glens and
by river banks and lake shore.
In order to determine just what the
forests present in the way of attract
i've sites for summer homes and facili-
ties for boating, bathing. fishing. noun
tain climbing and other outing activi-
ties. the forest service is now making
a recreational survey of the domains
over which it has control and will list
and publish the data as rapidly as pos
sible. Now. it is realized. most of the
applicants for cottage sites are per-
sons who happen to be familiar with
the forests. When the data now being
collected are available. however, city
bound souls who long for the woods
but have neither the means nor the
time to make long searches for salts
factory sites will be able to choose just
about what they wish without stirring
from their doors.
In his unique sale of villa sites Uncle
Sam struck a note not quite so demo-
cratic perhaps as in his forest-leasing
plan, but he made it possible in this
way for his more prosperous citizens
to build up a community of more COM
modious permanent summer homes.
The land divided into the villa sites
was formerly part of the Flathead
Indian reservation and was reserved
under special legislation when the res
eryation was allotted.

Real hospitals for thesdisease-strick
natives of Alaska at last seem assured.
The first specially de-
| Hospitals In signed government hos
II A1.., pital to be erected in the
'A"' territory is under con-
| struction now in Juneau, and when
completed, in the course Of the next
few months, will provide modern facili-
ties for accommodating several scores
of patients.
The establishment of such institutions
among the once virile people to whom
| the white mans civilization has brought
! havoc-working maladies has long been
the dream Of the United States bureau
Of education. but until now appropria
tions by Congress for work among the
natives have been far too slender to
facilities than could be secured by re-
modelling certain small schoolhouses
into 1mprovised infirmaries.
The bureau of education, through
one of the strange arrangements that
crop out now and then in the federal
governmental machinery. has practically
the entire supervision of these people
in so far as the activities of the gov
eminent touch them. The bureau has
in fact, in addition to it's general edu
cational duties. pretty much the relation
toward the Alaskan natives-many of
them Indians-that the Office of Indian
affairs of the Department of the In
terror has over the Indians of the
United States proper.
In the matter of the physical welfare
of it's charges, however, the bureau has
called on the United States public
health service for assistance, and a CO.
operative arrangement has been work
ed out by which a surgeon of the
health service is detailed for special
duty among the Alaskan natives. and
has charge of a staff of medical as
sistants and nurses furnished by the
bureau of education. 1t is a result
of appeals based on the Investigations
and work of this medical service that
the necessity for providing we'll
equipped hospitals has at last been
brought home in measure to Con-
gress and that somewhat more liberal
appropriations have been secured. The
need for physical care has been so
great that the bureau has even felt
justified in closing several sorely need
ed schools in late years in order to
apply the funds to medical relief. 1t
pointed out to Congress, however. that
1t took such steps only as a matter of
the most urgent necessity, since the loss
to village of schools, the greatest
civilizing agency that has ever come to
the natives. has an immediate and un-
desirable effect upon the general life of
the community.

years ago the federal government gave

little patches of school land, amounting
in all to 100000 acres.

in other northwestern states, and have

The situation is promising, 1t develops, for
the chief source is ajowan seed, produced
principally in India. with which country
trade still may easily be carried on Be
the entire supply Of seed was sent to
Germany, where the thymol was extracted.
OF this drug the United States imported
in the year ending June 80, 1914, over
10000 pounds Now. because there have
been practically no importations for
year, the price OF the non-poisonous anti
septic on American markets has become
exceedingly high.
The study developed the fact that the
extraction of thymol from the ajowan
seeds Is brought about chiefly by steam
dfstillatfon, and that the other stages of
manufacture are not complicated. It was
also found that horse mint, which grows
in the United States, Is a possible source
Of the drug.
