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, 1406 Center st., Portsmouth, Ohio. Personally appeared before me this, 13th of September, 1909, Mrs. H. J.

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. 14-4] Scott & Bowne. Bloomfccld. J4. ]. Prove What Swamp-Root Will Do For You Send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample size bottle.
