Frank, convicted of murder at Atlanta, ueorgia, one ui iha mwi w'uhAv flispusKi'd criminal cases in years. The lli UIWW .TV-J - - , -.. ! 1 1 defense is that nublic prejudice was responsible for the verdict, which was not supported by the evidence, resting mainly on the testimony of a negro, who was himself implicated in the crime. Seldom before has the evidence of a negro counted for much against that of a white man, but in this case, it is alleged, an epidemic of h'wn fins offenses had made people hungry for a convic tion and the police were anxious to do something which would appease the popular clamor. Many persons who have followed the case closely gravely doubt if Frank's guilt has been established, and even the supreme court n? the United SVitcs was divided. Justices Hughes and - "You might as well try to sink a battleship with a shot gun, to batter down the rock of Gibraltar with peas and a blow-pipe, or dam Niagara with hairpins and tooth picks as try to have morality without Christianity." This is a characteristic saying of Billy Sunday. An instructor in English at Columbia university is the latest defender of Sunday's unique style. No man of today, he says, is doing so much as Sunday is in enriching, English. . i One way of enriching a language is in bringing newj words into popular use, or in giving to old words new meaning and force. If slang which originates in the saloons and the streets may become in time dignified into good words, why should not the slang of the pulpit have at least an equal chance, especially when it comes, weighted with tense meaning from a really forceful man?! But it is not slang that makes Sunday's language so1 unique. It is his direct way of saying things worth while, i It is impressionism applied to speech. He puts the high-! lights strong in the right spots. The one thing that distinguishes his style more than all else is the fact that he always puts the laugh on the hypocrites and the irreligious. Euucne Guard: A four thousand dol lar sale of I.une county beets and brans, representing approximately three car loads was made last week by the Eu gene Fruit Growers association, accord ing to J. O. Holt, malinger, lhis is but one sale of many expected this year of both beans and beets, but it is the first large sale of tho season. The name of the buyers is not announced for busi ness reasons, except that it is for use on the Pacific const. Sales this spring have been generally slow, due to the general business conditions, nnd Jlr. Holt holds that this is an indication of a revival of business. It substantiates the statements made by businessmen and railroad men that a revival of busi ness is on its way. The European belligerents seem to have fought each other to a standstill. That is the only way a non-military observer of the situation is able to dope it out, and if peace comes soon it will be because of exhaustion on both sides and inability to make headway in anv direction. All Holmes, two of its ablest members, dissenting from the offensive operations seem to be halted at the present time.: majority opinion, tne latter voicing nis onjecuons in uiese , words: .1 With Teddy Roosevelt and Boss Barnes scrapping to I "Any judge who has sat with juries knows that in i a finish in New York our people ought to be able to forget .. n n j 1 . .

Well, when a fel low looks around and sees some fellows rolling in wo-.ilth who got in no harder work than that in the mere efforts put forth to take it when coming their way he is inclined to the opportunity theory. That is one way of explaining to himself that there's no such thing as luck. Jackson county's big road bond issue is exhausted and its roads are torn up and practically impassible, if we may believe the statements of the county cominissior.ers. That is the way most of these road bond issues go, and the taxpayers of the state at large are asked to put up the funds to help the hoodwinked people of such counties out of their predicament.
