CIRCULATION 1907 AVErage...csssecssss %812 1908, v sonoeis B B0 S NOT THE ADMINISTRATION’S ACT Governor Colquitt of Texas is being taken to task in democratic circles for his violent attack upon the ad- ministration and the policies it has put into operation, wherein he belit- tles the foreign policy, calls the anti- trust laws barefaced fakes, declares that the tariff law has had a contrary effect to what was promised and that the election of 1918 will mean the end of democratic control. While it has to be admitted that he is for the most part right, his atten- tion is being called to the fact. that our tide of exports is rising with phe- nomenal rapidity and that where we had a credit balance of several hun- dred millions against us a few months ago, we are certain to have onme in our favor in a little while and that may spell prosperity, en though Governor Colquitt's view of the situation through demo- cratic eyves does not set well in demio- cratic circles, it must be remembered that this large export trade and the chance for the return of prosperity is not a result of the policies which have been put into operation by the present administration. It is the direct outcome of the Buropean war. It is an opportunity opened up for this <country of which advantage is being taken. It has been of particular help to the administration inasmuch as it has covered up the shortcomings iof the tariff for revenue only policy, the weaknesses of which had already be- gun to show themselves when the war appeared over the horizon, but to at- tribute this chance to pay off lour for- eign debis and increase,our export trade to the administration ig ridicu- lous. THE FRANK CASE, There have been few cases before the criminal courts of this country which have attracted more attention or brought forth more strenuous efforts for the prevention of an execution than that of the state of Georgia against Leo M. Frank. In view of the ease with which other cases of a like na- ture have received new trials the manner in which the appeals in this case have heen made and shut off has given it added publicity. The granting of the second appeal made tc him, by Justice Lamar of the Tnited States supreme court, is bound to bring ut the establishment of the fact as to whether unller the law as construed hy the highest court in the land the accuséd has had a fair trial, and that is a matter of vital concern b?lh to Frank and the state of Geor- gia. Justice Lamar In granting the ap- peal declares that there are three points raised by the case which have never been passed upon by the United States supreme court—points which are of vital importance to the con- demned man. That being the situa- tion, it is bound to be a matter which needs attention and which should be determined at this fime. A fair trial, and not a trial by mob, is what every prisoner 1s entitled to. 1If, in the opinion of theé supreme court, this has not been given Frank, it should be and Georgia Prevented from carrying out a sentence which might forever Dblight its clalm to the maintenance of a justice ¢ourt. It is far better that many guilty men go free than that one innocent man should have his life taken through lack of fair treatment. —_— y VENEZUELA’S SUGGESTION, After all the trouble that the South American countries have experienced and after all the disregard that has been manifested for the existing in- ternational laws during war, it is only natural that ‘there should be such a proposition as is made by Venezuela that there be a conference of nations for the purpose of straightening out such a tangle. Deepite the rules to. the contrary, results show that the claim of “all's fair in wer” has about as many supporters as it ever did. The idea of Vemezuela is to have a conference of neutral nsgtions this country for the revision of the rules of war. There is unquestionably epough to furnish plenty of topics for o conference discussion with a view to more effective regulations even from the standpoint of neutral nations, but “rom the disclosures in the past few waths, it is safe to presume that ail [+ second-c! -~ Telepnone Calls: Bulietin Business Office 480, : Bkt B Sob Oes 553, BILLBOARD REGULATION, e Few are. tbe citles which,havent o given more or less consideration o} the e ru 5 Tl do b i sedst Lol sve the wunsightly billboards and devoted e e wreckage of a campalgn much thought to methods for remov- | stop fof repairs.” « jioé.
