IS FRANK VICTIM OF MOB VIOLENCE
The supreme court holds out no hope for Leo M.
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
