Ftiono Main 81. THE LEO FRANK CASE anything that exists. To be fully and consistently up to J his type he must be against the government, against re- ligion, against capital, against vaccination, against every-1 thing that is thoroughly established. Single-handed, ne sets up. his opinion against that of the world, and thinks he is at least getting the best of the argument. Thus he impresses himself deeply with his own importance and sometimes impresses others. In none of these three classes is there any fundamental thinking. To things as they are or are said to be the first two simply assent, and the third simply dissents. MEN IN EARNEST Great pressure is being brought to bear to secure the pardon of Leo M. Frank, convicted of murder at Atlanta, Georgia. There is grave doubt of the Frank's guilt be cause he was convicted mainly on the testimony of a dis ruptable negro, and for once prejudice against the negro in this kind of a case was entirely wiped out and the deeper prejudice against a Jew was fomented by police officers, anxious to secure a conviction in order to allay public sentiment, aroused by their incompetence. Frank may be guilty, but the evidence is far from conclusive and few have studied the case carefully without reaching the conclusion that he is a victim of circumstances and ruth less prosecution. The accused faces execution on the charge of having murdered Mary Phagan. One of the largest and most reputable detective agencies in the United States after an exhaustive investigation declared that Frank was inno cent, and that the chief witness for the prosecution, a dis solute and degenerate negro, was the real murderer. The agency accuses the prosecution of having railroaded Frank nearly to the gallows as a result of a series of ''.frame-ups" and furnishes detailed evidence to substan tiate its assertion. One of the strong points in favor of Frank is that it would have been physically impossible for him to have murdered the girl and then on the same afternoon attend to the complicated duties which it is admitted he per formed. According to the prosecution's theory the crime was limited to seven minutes. Another fact in his favor is that his life has been searched with the fine tooth comb of investigation and has been found to be clean. More over, a negress who was in the Atlanta county jail de clared in an affidavit that the prosecuting witness, who liiul made love to her, admitted that he murdered Mary it seems as if there has been a great deal of sympathy 1 hagan 1 his affidavit was repudiated, but it was claimed; wasted on those five Mexican murderers down in Arizona, it was due to the pressure of the prosecution and to local; But a large part of the public is in such a morbid frame sentiment. I of mind that it would seem all one has to do to become an vviicii puuuc sentiment against Hanging is so strong that cold-blooded Mexican murderers, like those in Ari zona, can enlist the sympathy of thousands throughout the entire nation, it would seem that this man, of whose When a busy business man will leave his private busi ness to devote several hours a day for three consecutive days to work for the coriimunity as a whole, without ex pectation of direct financial gain, he is certainly sincere in his desire to do service for the community. And when tour score of the active business and pro fessional men of the city will unite in givine; such service, all' working together, and each at some sacrifice of private or personal interest, there certainly is an impelling iorce in this desire for better community development; there is a power in the plan, and the method employed which can lay hold of this desire to do and so direct the forces as to accomplish what was accomplished during the three days' endeavor to build up a worthy community organization, so successfully carried out this week. But a careful survey of what has taken place in Salem shows that the whole campaign was carried out on the most sane and substantial methods no trickery or chicanery to bamboozle the people was resorted to in any way whatever. The success of the move for greater things came from the earnest appeal to the better side of the men of the city to their spirit of brotherhood and loyalty to the community and the presentation of a plan for bringing the things sought which is workable and appeals to the highest business sense of the men who know business and try to conduct business on high business ideals. Having shown that there is such a fine spirit of co operation and loyalty among the citizens of Salem, let it be shown in the days to come, as it was manifested dur ing the past few days, and the community will have some thing to be proud of which it has not yet had of very great measure a united and harmonious citizenry, active in doing something all the time for the benefit of the city and its environs. - iiyiUiMiia object of hero worship is to shed human blood, or commit some other unjustifiable crime.

They are never for the under-dop' until it int mi top. Such people, flocking along the lines of least resist ance, are little brothers to the sheep and are regularly .sheared by those whose self-confidence allows them to move along lines of somewhat greater resistance.

Rut intellectually he is of the same order as the other two. His views are fixed entirely by forces out.udo himself He simply opposes whatever is generally accepted. If he is for the Democrats when they are out of power, he is against them when they get in.

I have been urged from time to time by my well-wishers to take this step, but was loath to accede to their im portunities, feeling that there were other men in the community more able and better qualified for the im portant task. But at length their re quests have become so insistent that I am compelled to yield. "I, therefore, am now, at the ear nest solicitation of my many friends, an avowed candidate for your hand in marriage, and for proof of my ability to rill the exalted position of i benedict with honor and credit should I be elected thereto, I point with pride to the fact that I have already been honored with three terms as the husband of three excel lent and admirable women, and was never recreant to the trust imposed upon me.
