Frank is not tho issuo in tho hu miliating outrnge that has been per petrated on Georgia by a gnng whose lust for blood is matched only by tho degreo of cowardice thoy resorted to in satisfying thla thirst. The over throw of the standards of civilisation, the reversion to barbarism and tho ilondlHh clamor for vongrance that resulted In deliberate murder are phases of tho case to he dep'.ored, but neither are they relevant to the Issue. The most threatening and the most sinister aBpocit of tho horrible nrTair is tho uucouqucrublp lust for blood that hold so many thousands of peo ple on this man's trail for nearly threw years and tho fires of which lUHt wer? nover' allowed to smoulder for being fanned by propoganda of tho most open and the most shame less kind. Every bit as guilty as Ute men who adjusted the hangman's nooso about Frank's nock and drew the rope that sent his body dangling in the air are the people who con tinually agitated the matter so openly, through the public prints, by the dem onstration against the governor who commuted the prisoner's sentence, and In other ways equally as breazon. If aomethlng is not done to curb a press that turns out incendiary lltora- 1 tat?, or bridle a public speaker who p.'uacboa anarchy openly In public ' places, or suppress demonstrations alined at tho very fouvlatlona of the Btructure on which wo havo built our civilization, it will soon become an easy matter to start a campaign 1 against law?as was done In the Frank cas?? that will gain momen- ' turn Jhrongh the activities of theae agencies and sweep up, civilization 1 all, into the abyss that threatens to cngu,f ua. 1 . *LAB0R*8 PEACE COUNCIL." ' ' ^Labor's National Peace Council" continues to bo somewhat o! en enlg- i nn to the genera] public. The dis- : puto still rages to whether '.i deserves Its title?Whether Vt really repr?senta 1 lahor. or is national In scope, or la ; working sincerely for peace. ' ; * At the recent Washington conven- ! lion, it will be remembered, there was a hot light over the adoption of i resolutions calling for a government < embargo ou t Ii * munition? ti?.fllc. At that time it "was charged that pro German propagandas hati got labor organizations to Join th<; "council" by raise pretenses, and several lahor leaders rebelled, with the declaration that thoy wer?- opposed to un embar go ami resented the attempt to hitch American organized labor to the Ger man cause. The- climax of that rebellion lui;; como In the resignation of Milton Snelllng a.< vice president of the "Peuce Council." Snelllng la widelyj widely il own ;w first vice president of, it he International Union of steam and Operating Engineers of America. H?| accuses the council leaders of had faith, Raying that one of them told him: "We want to stop the expor-j talion of munitions to ihe allies. You sue, Germany can manufacture all Ihe munitions she wants." It wan under the auspice:, of this organization thnt William J. Bryan by Invitation of Us president, Frank IJuchanun, addressed a great "peace" audience in New York t'lty, consisting chiefly of Germans. At that meeting Mr. Bryan himself was placed in an e<|uivocal position by the fact that resolutions were adopted denouncing 'the Hale of arms and ammunition, al though Mr. Bryan as cl?ief speaker had not taken that position at all, and he explicitly refused to" "do so later in iSt. Louis. Frank Buchanan Is tho Chicago congressman who has lately denounc ed President Wilson in a public state ment, accusing him of being dominat ed by "big business" in the Interest of tho war traffic?because the presi dent refused to Bee him at a time when ho particularly warned to ace the president. Buchanan used to he un iron worker, and served au pr?si dent of the Structural Iron Workers' Union, which itself at one period made a lavish use of arniB and am munition. Everything considered, it seems to be up to Mr. Buchanan and his asso ciates In "Labor's National Peace Council" to prove their own good faith before they assail the good faith of the representatives of the Unified Stutcs i t verument. IH'LGAHIA'H REVENUE. It Is a beautiful case of poetic Jus tice thut is now on exhibition In the Balkans. Shakespeare himself couldn't have figured it out hotter. Bulgaria, betrayed by her allieB aftor the first Balkan war and robbed of tho fruits of her victories, n,ow holds their fate In her hand. At tho close of the war, when Tur key was prostrate, and the Balkan confederates were kept from finishing her only by the Interposition of tho big powers, Crecce and Scrvia de manded from Bulgaria a largo part of tho Macedonian territory which they had pledged to her In case of victory. Whe l aho refused to yield it, they made war on her, taking what they wanted and killing moro of her boI diers than the Turks had killed. At the K?me time Roumanla, taking ad vantage of Bulgaria's weakness, de manded a slice of territory aa a re ward for not having attacked her when her back was turned, and Bul garia had to surrender it In bitterness Bulgaria bided her time'?and that time has comp with unexampled celerity. Sorvla, against whom Bhe has the bitterest grievance, is expecting a great Gorman-Aus trian "drive" which may crush her unless she obtains powerful aid. Roumanla Is willing to help Servla, by making a drive at Austria-Hun gary on her own account, but Rou manie doesn't dare take the field until Bhe knows what Bulgaria will do. Greece wants to Join the allies and enlarge lier territory at Tnrkey'a ex pense, out hesitates to do so from fear of Bulgaria. And what does Bulgaria dot She calmly says that she'd like to Join the allies and dispatch an army against Constantinople, to take that great prize for Russia?but she couldn't think of starting until Servla and Greece anu Roumanla given her back what they atolo from her two years ago. And If tho allies?who, by tho way, acquiesced in the robbery?want , her assistance, all they nave to do is to make ht>r Balkan neighbors give up the loot. Aa for Germany and Austria, whom she regards aa largely responsible [or the crime committed against her, j she la bargaining with them, too, on j this basis?.If they can give her bot- i ter guarantees than the allies c*n\<: that Roumanla Servla and Greece will >, give her what ehe wants, then shoj, will join the allies. The moat the Teutons can hope for Is continued Bul garian neutrality. I So nhc proud little nation that waa \ humbled in the dust two years ago Is , now mistress of the Balkans and j seems to hold in her hand the destiny , of Europe. j< I With the blot of Fairfield Htill fresh I upon her escutcheon, South Carolina lean well nach out a hand across the I Savannah and gropo syinpathislngly I In the dark for the hand of her wlster I Htute dripping with the blood of tho horror enacted laut Monday plgbt at Marietta.

This climax was inevitable as long as we permitted incendiary indica tions to set Georgia aflame. Tom Watson has cost oGorgla more than ten thousand good and true men can rebuild in twenty years. but the latter must begin now, with a courage and determination born only in a crtalB, unies they will .to see the situation grow even worse. It Is no longer a question of Leo Frank's guilt or innocence; or of his life or death ?but solely a question of Georgia's honor and good name. The war in Europe is horrible enough; but anarchy at home is worse. Those who are disposed to tempor ize with this situation further will be as guilty of Georgia's dignice and re trogression as the mob iteelf. Only worse than cither of these Is the man who has so persistently sown these seeds of hate and violence and anar chy throughout Georgia.

'Berlin, Aug. 11.?(Associated Press Correspondence.)?Since the impor tation of textile raw materials into Germany has been almost entirely stopped, the army authorities have perfected a plan or economic schedule by the terms of which the textile in; dustry of Germany will be regulated and controlled. It has been worked out with* a careful consideration of the supplies of tevtlles now on hand and with a view to. making them last as long as possible. This Is to be accomplished, In part, by forbidding for the time being the production of luxuries, and suiting production of all oii.tr articles to the supply on hand. Sudh a regulation in connection with cotton goods al-. ready exists and is working well. No general prohibition of textile production has been laid down but the list of articles whicl. may be made has been restricted so 'ar as possible to the absolut el ;- necessary?as for instance personal and bed linen, clothes and linings. It Is also stipu lated what kind of material these things may be. made of, the coarser being substituted for the finer here tofore in use. Also the use of cot ton is to be enlarged somewhat so that the llst Of textiles may bp ac cording circumscribed. . . Regulation of wool production is also in prospect, probably differing somewhat from the rules governing cotton, but in any event prescribing what kinds of woolen may be used for given articles. A restriction of the flax and hempt Industry Is also planned. Army contracts are not to be gov erns dby any of the new rules. Those who have already made contracts with the military or nrval authorities may carry them out Whether or not the production of the articles in question Is forbidden. Hawker?"Buy a flower, sir?"
