Washington, Sept. 10,
Declares Men of Wealth Escape the
Consequences of Their Wrongdo-

luKs
To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
There have appeared many very strohs
editorials in the papers throughout the
country condemnng the action or the
lawless mob In the state OF Georgia.
for the brutal and heinous crime OF
lynching Leo Frank, and while the
writer Is opposed to mob rule. Still
there is another side to the discussion
that should not be overlooked.
We have courts Of law, and Judges and
jurles. whose duty it Is to say what
punishment shall be meted out to crfm-
inals after they have had a fair trial.
and been found guilty. and the law ls
supposed to show no partiality. no dis
tinction between rich or poor. high or
low. Yet 1t Is a notorious fact that men
Of wealth and influence manage to e.
cape the consequences OF their wrong
doing. while the average poor man or
woman Is railroaded to jail.
Leo Frank was tried and convicted
according to law. and he also took two
appeals to the Supreme Court OF the
United States, both OF which appeals
were disallowed. 1t is said that the
Judge and jury which convicted Frank
were prejudiced against him on account
Of racial or other reasons. VIII Franks
friends claim that the Judges Of the Su-
preme Court also were pre)udiced
against him?
Had the former governor Of Georgia
allowed the law to take its course,
Georgia would have been saved this
disgrace. but the people Of that State
seeing that they could not get justice
done according to law. proceeded to take
the law into their own hands and pun
ish the convicted man. Were not the
men on the Jury. who heard all the
evidence in this case. IN better posi-
ton to know the facts than people who
were hundreds OF miles away?
II the slayer of Stanford White had
been a poor man. instead Of the son OF
a millionaire, would he have been at
large today? Does anyone believe that
Schmidt. OF New York. who Is alleged
to have betrayed and cruelty murdered
a poor girl In New York over two years
ago. would be alive today had he been
an ordinary man. without strong friends
and Influence? 1t. Is just such cases as
these, when men see that Justice can
not be had through the courts. that in
cites them to riot and unlawful acts

LENDING TO EUROPE

A loan of half billion dollars, or,
for the matter Of that, billion dol
lars, to the allies does not depend
merely upon the bankers of the
United States; it depends upon the
American farmers as q class and
upon the American business men as
a class. And there is no more doubt
that the American farmers as a
class and the American business
men as a class will back up the
bankers Of the United States in a
huge loan to Great Britain, France,
and Russia than there is that water
will run down hill.
Mr.. James J. Hill goes a great
deal too far when he says that if
the allies don't get a loan in this
country Of from $500, 100000 to
81 ,o00, 100000 they will stop buying
their supplies here. They will do
nothing of the kind. Whether they
get the loan or don't get the loan,
they will 60 on buying their supplies
here because they cannot buy them
anywhere else. The arms and am
munition that they must have if
they are to fight out this war they
can't buy in large quantity or in
small in South America. They can't
buy them in Canada. They can't
buy them in Australia. They can't
buy them in China. Outside of the
United States there is no spot on
earth where they can buy them.
And the cotton they need can't be
bought in any other place than the
United States. The same thing is
true to a very large extent of all
breadstuffs and other food supplies.
So the allies are going to 90 on
buying here because they have to
buy here.
But the manner in which they buy
and the manner in which they pay
will be different, according to
whether it is made harder or easier
for them to buy and pay from week
to week and month to month.
1t will be easy for them to pay as
they 60 along with their war if q
huge credit is set up for them here
in the United States against which
to make their purchases. 1t will be
hard for them to pay if they have to
sacrifice securities the proceeds of
which are to be planked down upon
our international business counter
if they have to deplete the supplies
of gold which are of no immediate
use to US but which are of vast i'm
portance to them.
/ Our agricultural and business in.
terests want not only to 60 on sell
ing to the allies, as they will do, but
to sell on terms and conditions
which, while easier for the Euro
pean buyers, are at the same time
more advantageous to the American
sellers.
1t is more advantageous to the
American sellers to trade IN basis
of dollar exchange, remaining stable
than on basis of foreign exchange

To the Editor OF THE TINES

When summer breezes come blow

tec1ng jacket OF taffeta or corded
silk, although the Wearer knows in her
heart Of hearts that il is the decora-
tive and not the practical value that
endears the popular little coatee to
every feminine heart. Many of the
taffeta jackets are built into the frock

with skirts made up entirely of rufhe

blue taffeta, are promised for the first
warm days and garden parties. With
these Semi-elabOrate toilets are worn,
strange to say, taffeta hats Of medium
size in the color Of the jacket and very
simply trimmed with standing ostrich
quill or the reliable wings Most CT
these Jackets are made on the loose,

dress of this type is made up of the
palest pink embroidered crepe with a

quilting. The waist proper is really
the jacket of taffeta with long. tight
sleeves, opening in a quite low Y, with
broad revers, and high WASTED. The
effect is demure, to say the least, and
decidedly attractive.
Black and White.
The craze for black-and-w com
binatiOns has, to a very great extent,
affected jewelry. Very stunning is a
ring of black enamel which is studded
with rhinestOnes. The ring is intend
ed TO be worn on the little finger and
thus complete the color scheme of the
general costume.
Effective Trimming.
Now that mothers are busy making
summer clothes for their kiddies a
suggestion for an effective and quickly
applied trimming will be appreciated.
The suggestion is intended for mothers
who like 10 add hand embroidery to
the little dress. The snake trail or
knotted outline stitch is the idea to
which reference is made, and 1t is
most suitable for decorating the
frOcks. 1t is made by combining
COUGHING stitch with the outline stitch.
Some persons call it a couched out
line stitch The way to make ii is to
bring the thread up from the under
side of the material, forming a loop
with the thread and then inserting
the needle into the material under
meath the lift side OF the loop formed
and bringing the point Of the needle
up through the loop. Draw the
thread tightly to form knot. Repeat
the stitch 10 form knots quarter of
an inch apart. Heavy mercerized cot
ton, wool or rope silk are desirable
materials for this work Not only is
the knotted stitch suitable for chill
dren's dresses; it can well be applied
to cushions, scarfs and centerpieces
as a substitute for soutache or coro-
nation braid.

Do not forget for minute that you
have an engagement to attend the
Lincoln Writ lecture at Turner Hall
Tuesday evening, Feb. End. You pro-
missed yourself that you would not miss
this treat and you must not break so
good resolution. DR.. Writ is charm
ing speaker and you will sit entranced
with the pictures he draws for you, for
getting all about the commonplace work
in which you are compelled to live for
seven days of the week. You will travel
with him over the glistenipg Businesses
of the world made known to literature
by the pens of such men as Jack London
and Rex Beach and the words of DR..
Writ will make the heart leap and pound
as it would were you struggling with him
in that frozen world to reach the settle
ments while starvation stared you in
face. Or perhaps he will sketch for you
the languorous South Sea life so wildly
that you can scent the spices that per-
fume the air. At any rate you are
going to be taken out of your hum drum
daily grind for a couple of hours and
sense what other men have done to make
the far places of the world accessible to
others. Don't forget, next Tuesday
evening, the End.
