Frank has sent Mhivcr of hor ror through the nation outside of the south, It has focused the attention of the world upon the silent change that war. reconstruction and subsequent commercializa tion have "worked in perversion of the old ideals of the once chivalrous south. The dastardly deed shows that the section that tol erates lawlessness, breeds lawlessness and that brutal and inhuman practices brutalize and inhunianize those tolerat ing them. There are no extenuating circumstances attending the Frank lynching. It was not done in hot blood to satisfy outraged sentiment. It was a cold-blooded conspiracy to murder a helpless prisoner, who was paying the greatest penalty the law imposes for crime. The lynching was a crime of the Italian vendetta order and typifies the chiv alry of the Kit Klux Klan and tho night-rider, whose brav ery consists in cowardly assassination, by masked bands, of the helpless. The south has not kept pace with the growth of the na tion. The unbridled prejudices of ignorance run riot. f a negro is suspected, he is burned alive without a hearing. If he is legally executed, the affair is made a public holi day and excursions bring thousands to gloat over the pub lic gallows and the dyiiuj contortions of the victim. Any attempt to punish the cowardly perpetrators of dastardly crimes results in death by night-riders of the informers. The soutji is the most backward portion of the ITilited States. Here are the greatest'numher of illiterates. Here still exist the racial prejudices, intolerance and bigotry that always accompany ignorance. Education is neglected, child labor legalized and human progress overlooked. It is true the south is handicapped by the negro problem but the white is as much neglected as the negro per haps more. The poor whites of the hills still lead the prim itive life their ancestors lived a century ago and their children are either slaving in the mills ortoiling in isolated ignorance on the farm. The boasted material progress of the new south consists in the building up of industries and resultant cities in dustries that, utilizing cheap labor, exploit the people and create a new wealthy class, but do not look after the wel fare of the toilers, whose condition has grown worse rather than better, industries that frown upon education because it creates a demand for betterment that leads to industrial unrest and higher wages. Flunk's murderers will not be punished. There will be no attempt to punish them, though their identity is easily discoverable. Moreover, public sentiment in tho south applauds the act which speaks louder than words of what isolation, ignorance and industrial exploitation have done and are doing for the new south.
