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.
