FRANK ON HIS LAST IJI'IS.
Having run the gauntlet of all the
courts*, hack anil forth anil back again,
Leo Frank, the deapoiler anil murderer
of lit lie Mary Phagnn, haH now reached
the end of bin rope, and only the clem
ency of the Stated Chief Executive
can save him from the gallows. After
all the blulT and bluster of Frank’s
multitudinous array of counsel, in the
effort to raise a doubt as to his guilt,
tho courts of the country have decreed
otherwise, and his lawyers are now ap
pealing to the State Pardon Hoard for
a commutation of the death sentence
to life imprisonment. Hut even if com
mutation should be recommended by
the Pardon Hoard, it is not likely that
the Governor, whether itboGov. Slaton
or Gov.-elect Harris, will grant the
clemency asked for. The evidence of
Frank’s guilt, ns written into the re
cord of his several trials, is so over
whelming that both public sentiment
and simple justice demand that he be
made to expiate his crime on the gib
bet. To commute his sentence would,
under the circumstances, stir the peo
ple of Georgia to such a pitch of indig
nation that more than ordinury courage
would be required on the part of the
pardoning power to face an outraged
public upon this issue. Therefore, it
looks now as if Frank is at laBt in a
fair way to get his just deserts. The
fact that he is a yankee Jew might
ntund him in good stead up North,
where Jewish influence and money are
so potential, but it will do him no
good in Georgia. He will receive the
treatment accorded all criminals of his
type—a typo rare in this section of the
country, thank God!—not because he is
a Jew, but because ho iH a monster
whose career cannot be brought to an
end too soon for the public good.
In this connection it affords us re
newed pleasure to pay tribute to Solici
tor Hugh Dorsey’s ability and courage
in fighting this cbsb to a triumphant
finish. Convinced of Frank's guilt, he
has never for a moment wavered in the
determination to bring the miserable
wretch to the gallows, and his final vic
tory not only entitles him to the plaud
its of the people for a service courage
ously and conscientiously performed,
but is cause for general gratulntion.
Both the law of the land nnd the law
of Moses cry for vengeance in atone
ment for Frunk's unspeakable crime,
and no sort of interposition should be
allowed to interfere with its complete
fulfillment.
/I RISING TIDE.
That there has come a permanent
improvement in business, nobody ex
cept the most pessimistic can doubt.
Some time since the head of one of
the largest and oldest firms in Atlanta,
while looking through his mail, re
marked to a party sitting in hiB office:
"Money is cheap. Here is an offer of
money at 3J per cent., but 1 don’t need
it.”
"Where does the offer come from?"
asked his companion.
"From Boston,” replied the gentle
man.
Of course, cheap money is not al
ways a sign of prosperity, but it is as
nearly infallible in this respect as any
that can lie mentioned. In this con
nection it might be well for some who
have been much inclined to criticize
the Government at Washington to take
note of the fact that cheap money
would not have been available but for
the enactment of the new banking law.
If this country had been under the
banking law that was in force for al
most a half century when the European
war broke out, we should have seen
such a panic as would have made a re
cord in the list of financial disasters.
The business men in all branches of
commercial activity would have been at
the mercy of a few men and corpora
tions who have been in control of the
money of the country. Only partisan
opponents of the Administration will
fail to give the President due credit for
the enactment of the regional banking
law.
Possibly some will say that the cry
of "wolf” was false; that the country
was not in as much financial peril as
many supposed. And perhaps this is
true. But it should be remembered
that the prosperity of a country de
pends not alone, nor chiefly, upon the
abundance of the products of manufac
tures and commerce, but upon the
faith of the people in each other and in
the various business and industrial en
terprises. Of c mrse, everybody's faith
received a shock last August when the
storm of war broke so suddenly over
the world, and one wonders not that
there was the beginning of a panic, bu
that the panic did not develop into the
worst one we have ever known in all
our history. But the worst is pas*,
and we may, without some unexpected
and improbable change in conditions,
look for brighter days in the near fu
ture than have yet come. The waves
are, however, still running too high for
anyone to plunge recklessly into specu
lation and extravugant buying and sell
ing.
TAX EQUALIZATION.
No matter of public policy and in
terest has been more difficult to pro
vide for by legislation and the proper
administration of laws in force than the
adjustment of taxes, so that all the
taxpayers of the State shall pay their
due proportion of the public revenue.
Georgia has made several efforts to
regulate thin matter, but the popular
prejudice against tax assessors, to
which members of the Legislature have
generally yielded, has made it imprac
ticable to so fix the valuation of proper
ty as to make the burden fall on all
fairly, and not unduly upon the citi
zen who should happen to be conscien
tious enough to regard the oath he
took, when furnishing the Tax Re
ceiver his schedule of property, as
something more than a formality.
The tax law enacted by the last Leg
islature, with possibly some modifica-
cations and amendments, is doubtless
the best the State has ever had. And
no feature of this law is more com
mendable than that part of it which
provides for tax equalizers in each
county. The power given these offi
cials makes it possible for them to cor
rect the defects of other systems, and to
aid honest taxpayers in the effort to
meet their obligations to the county and
State.
But there was one very important mat
ter that needed to be adjusted. The
valuation of property, especially real
estate, differs considerably in different
counties —especially in the returning of
property for taxation. And there was
no uniformity in the discount from the
market value of property allowed by
the equalizers in the several counties.
In some counties this has been much
larger than in others. Hence, the de
sired equality was not forthcoming un
der the law.
Last week the tax equalizers held a
very important convention in Atlanta,
and reached a basis of discount that
will go far towards remedying the ad
ministration of the law under which
they are operating. This basis is 33$
per cent, reduction from the market
value of renl estate returned for tax
ation.
This basis seems fair to the State and
to all parties concerned, and while it
may increase the total tax returns of
the several counties, this increas eought
to lead, not to an increase, but to a de
crease of the tax rate.

TEN WEEKS IN BED-EMINENT
PHYSICIANS FAILED—WON
DERFUL RECOVERY.
I wish to inform you of the grejjt
benefit I have derived from the use of
Swamp-Root. I had been a sufferer
for more than twenty years from kid
ney and liver trouble and was almost
constantly treated by the most emi
nent physicians, who could only give me
temporary relief. I had been in bed
ten weeks when I began the use of
Swamp-Root. Inside of twenty-four
hours I could see that I had been great
ly benefited. I continued to use Swamp-
Root until I had used several bottles,
when 1 really felt that my old trouble
was completely cured, and l am posi
tive that, any person suffering with kid
ney or liver trouble can be cured by
the use of this preparation.
I am now in the bast of health, bet
ter than I have been for ten years or
more. I do not know how to express
myself as strongly as 1 desire, in favor
of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, as I am
sure that it saved my life and that my
good health is due entirely to this
great remedy. I heartily recommend
it to every sufferer and am confident
they ean be benefited as I have been.
It is a pleasure for me, gentlemen, to
hand you this recommendation.
MRS. H. J. PRICE,

Personally appeared before me this,
13th of September, 1909, Mrs. H. J.
Price, who subscribed the above state
ment and made oath that the same is
true in substance and in fact.

CONSUMPTION TAKES
350 PEOPLE DAILY
Over 350 people succumb to con
sumption every day in the United States.
Science proves that the germs only
thrive when the system is weakened from
colds or sickness, overwork, confining
duties or when general weakness exists.
The best physicians point out that
during changing seasons the blood should
be made rich and pure and active by tak-
iug Scotty* Emulsion after meals. The cod
i liver oil in Scott's Emulsion warms the
body hv enriching the blood; it peculiarly
strengthens the lungs and throat, while it
upbuilds the resistive forces of the body
to avoid colds and prevent consumption.
If you work indoors, tire easily, feel
languid or nervous, Scott’s Emulsion is the
most strengtheningfood-medicine known.
It is totally free from alcohol or any
stupefying drug. Avoid substitutes.
