Frank is guilty or ' not of the murder of Mary Phagan, | for which he is now tnder sentence of death, the time being set for June 22, he scems to have made an im- pression on a large portion of the People of ‘this country that he is inno- cent. | There has been a great deal of | talk to the effect that he was not | glven a fair trial, but it seems strange that if this was so that he should have met with so many other .unfavorable decisions from otirer courts to whichi his case was taken in one form or an- other. His counsel has been beaten at every turn and now it is proposed to obtain signatures to a monster peti- | tion to be presented to the prison committee of Georgia and, also to the | governor asking that his sentence be commuted to imprisonment for life. The petitions so far received have weighed seventy-five pounds and to this has been added some 25,000 let- ters, and at a mass meeting to be | held in Chicago Sunday it is being | planned to obtain 100,000 signatures to petitions. Whether all tais effort will. have any value seen. y : There is no mistaking the fact that there is quite a sentiment in favor of | Erank and if he-escapes death for the murder of the little: girl it will be | more out ‘of sympathy than hécause of evidence that he_is innocent. He makes the claim of innocence himself, | but the testimony given in court is ! against him and all the efforts of his counsel have been unable-to break it | down. The sentiment in the south is very strong agaimst crimes against | women and children and when a man | is arrested for such an offense as a | rule not much time is wasted upon him. It may be that the petitions will save Frank from thne death penalty, but just now there is no evidence in Georgia that any attentjon will be given to them. remains to be BUTTERMILK’S ECLIPSE, The news that many dairymen. op- pose the old-fashioned buttermilk be- | cause it is too unstable to be handled to commercial advantage shocks us Idss” profoundly, grieves us less poig- nantly than similar intelligence would have done in the days when, under the auspices of the Hon. Charles War- ren Fairbanks, taen. vice president of | the United States, that sturdy drink was attaining eminence as a national beverage.—New York Press. ,The demand for milk straight and milk shakes is so great nowadays and there are 'So. many uses to which cream can be and is put that the farmer does not do as much churn- ing as he used to and the result is that buttermilk is scarce. It was not 8o in the days when Mr, Fairbanks was vice president, because then the famhily mMilk man sent a can daily to | ‘Washingtdbn from Indiana and the tall | gentleman who presided over the sen- | ate was able to take long and deep | dradghts from it, thereby retaining | his youthful complexion and a dis-| position that was never unruffled, even when the long and sometimes annoying messages came from Theo- dore at the other end of the avenue. Mr. Fairhsnks knew how to drink buttermilk; he knew when he had enough. There wag only one relapse and that was when the vile tongue of | slander said that he discarded the only real Indiana drink for the more in- viting and sparkling beverage known to all statesmen -as the Washington cocktail. Buttermilk died a natural death after that and there were no mourners. Why bring up the question now? Buitermilk is not the national | beverage at present; it is not even ot" that color, but the effect is the samae. | Another 'reason for its lack of popu- | Jarity is that the price has risen to | eight cents a quart. © That is enough | to make any one except a confirmed | . twenty-seven inches wiae, in | and cream. | With one pattern free. | habit revived?
