From Washington comes the
announcement that Robert Lan

succeed \V. J. Bryan. Mr. Lansing's
selection will be a popu

the duties of this great office.
Horses and mules need water
more than three times a day
when they are at work in the
field or on the road these long,
hot days. Very few men work
half a day without water, and
horses should not be required to
do so. They should be unhitched
and carried to water at least
ouce between morning and
noon, and between noon and
night. The horse, or mule, is a

necessary one. The man who
mistreats him will have to
answer for it before the Judge of
all the earth. Do not overwork
him or get him too hot, a thing
very easy to do at th.s season.
Do not feed much new oats or
other green feed and expect
your horse to work and thrive.
Your horse is one of your best

Qu The death sentence of Leo M.
Frank for the murder of-Mary
Phagan in a pencil factory in
Atlanta about two years ago
was commuted to life imprisonment
by Governor Slaton Monday
and Frank was taken at
once to the state prison at Milledgeville
where he began serving
his sentence. When the
news was given out there were
demonstrations in the streets of
Atlanta against the governor
and the police had a hard time
in dispersing the mobs. Monday
night several hundred men
marched out to the home of
Governor Slaton and attempted
to break through the front gates,
but were checked by barbed
wire entanglements and a dozen
or more armed deputies. The
governor then called out the
state malitia to protect him from
the mob. Martial law was proclaimed
in a district half a mile
by one mile about the home of
the governor and the malitiamen
were stationed with bayonets
The crowd gradually dispersed.
In Marietta, the former home
of the murdered girl, and in
Newnan the governor was
burned in effigy. In Newnan
images of the governor and
Frank were hanged, and later
were cut down, set on fire and
dragged blazing through the
streets.
Frank had exhausted every
other means of escape from his
sentence open to him.
Solicitor General Dorsey, who
prosecuted Frank, issued a
statement in which he declared
that *4the action of Gov. Slaton
nullifying the judgements of the
State and federal courts and
overriding the recommendations
of the State hoard of pardons
was unprecedented." lie added
that no defendant in his recollection
had had the benefit of
more appeals to both the State
and federal courts.

BANKERS URGED 10 ~
CO-OPERATE WITH
FARMERS
BOUL MATERIAL HAS ENTERED
THE BANK VAULT8 OF
THE NATION.

*
The Bank a Financial Power House
m to the Community.
By Peter Radford.
One of the greatest opportunities Iti
the business life of the nation lies
In practlaal co-operation of the country
banks with the farmer in building
agriculture and the adventure is laden
with greater possibilities than any
forward movement now before the
American public.
A few bankers have loaned money
to farmers at a low rate of interest,
and ofttimes without compensation,. to
buy blooded livestock, build silos,
fertilise the land, secure better seed,
bold their products for a betetr market
price, etc. The banker in contributing
toward improving the grade
if livestock; the quality of the seed
ind the fertility of the soil, plants in
the agricultural life of the community
i fountain of profit, that, like Tennyion's
brook, runs on and on forever.
Community Progress a Bank Asset.
The time was whep money loaned
in such a basis would severely test
he sanity of the banker; such transactions
would pain the directors like
i blow in the face. A cashier who
Rrould dare to cast bread upon waters
hat did not return buttered side up
h time for annual dividends would
lave to give way to a more capable
nan. This does not necessarily mean
hat the bankers are getting any better
>r that the milk of human klndnesss is
leing Imbibed more freely by our flnanjiers.
It indicates that the bankers are
letting wiser, becoming more able flninciers
and the banking Industry more
sompetent. The vision of the builder is
irowding out the spirit of the pawnbroker.
A light has been turned on
i new world of investment and no
isurer ever received as large returns
mi "the Investment ,as these progresilve
bankers, who made loans to
ipllft industry. The bankers have
ilways been liberal city builders, but
Jiey are now building agriculture.
A Dollar With a Soul.
It Is refreshing in this strenuous
Pemmercial life to find so many dolars
with souls. When a dollar is approached
to perform a task that does
lot directly yield the highest rate of
' ' .. 11
IPtne eagle's wings as IF soars upward;
when a dollar is requested to
'eturn at the option of the borrower,
t usually appeals to the Qoddess of
Liberty for its contractural rights;
vhen a dollar Is asked to expand in
rolume to suit the requirements of
ndustry, it usually talks solemnly of
ts redeemer, but soul material has
intered Into the vaults of our banks
ind rate, time and volume have a
lew basis of reckoning in so far as
;he ability of some of the bankers
permit them to co-operate in promotng
the business of farming.
Qod Almighty's Noblemen.
These bankers are Qod Almighty's
noblemen. Heaven lent earth the
ipirlt of these men and the angels
will help them roll in place the
:ornerstones of empires. They are
lot philanthropists; they are wise
jankers. The spirit or the builder
las given them a new viBlon, and
nrisdom has visited, upon them buslines
foresight.
The cackle of the hen, the low
if klne and the rustle of growing
:rops echo In every bank vault in the
lation and the shrewd banker knows
:hat he can more effectively Increase
lis deposits by putting blue blood in
ihe veins of livestock; quality in
the yield of the soil and value into
agricultural products, than by busliess
handshakes, overdrafts and
gaudy calendars.
faking the community into part#
ttership with the bank, opening up a
ledger account with progress, making
thrift and enterprise stockholders and
the prosperity of the country an
asset to the bank, put behind it
stability far more desirable than a
letterhead bearing the names of all
the distinguished citizens of the community.
The bank is the financial
power house of the community and
blessed is the locality that has an
up-to-date banker.
fULII IUAL PRAYER MEETINGS
It ! a sad day for Christianity when
the church balls call the communicants
together for a political prayer meeting.
Such gatherings mark the high
tlde^f religious political fanaticism,
put bitterness Into the lives of men;
fan the flames of class hatred and destroy
Christian Influence In the comAunlty.
The spirit actuating such
meetings Is anarchistic, un-Chrtstllke
and dangerous to both church and
state.
The success of the nation Is In the
hands of the farmer.
Work for the best and the best will
rise up and reward you.
Tenant farming is just one thing
after ewothn without a pay day.

Some of the
states have a two cent passenger rate
ana wnatever Iosb is incurred is recovered

of such a procedure was recently
passed upon by the Supreme Court
of West Virginia and the decision is
so far-reaching that we have asked
L. E. Johnson, president of the Norfolk
and Western Railway whose road
contested the case to briefly review
the suit. Mr. Johnson said in part:
"Some ten years ago, passenger
fares were fixed by the legislatures
of a large number of states at two
cents a mile. As a basis for such
economic legislation, no examination
was made of the cost of doing the
business so regulated, nor was any
attention given to the fact whether
such a rate would yield to the railway
companies an adequate or any
net return upon* the capital Invested
in conducting this class of business.
"Such a law was passed in West
Virginia in 1907. The Norfolk and
Western Railway Company put the
rate into effect and maintained it for
two years. Its accounting during
these two years showed that two
cents a mile per passenger barely
paid the out-of-pocket cost and nothing
was left to pay any return on
capital Invested. It sought relief from
the courts. Expert accountants for

Passenger Bate*
! both the State and the Railway Comi
pany testified that the claims of the
I raitroad were sustained by the facts,
i Two cents did not pay the cost of
carrying a passenger a mile. The
' State, however, contended that the
railroad was earning enough surplus
on its state freight business to give a
fair return. UDon the ennitni imori in
its passenger as well as its freight
business, for the purposes of the
case, the railroad did not deny this,
but held to its contention that the
State could not segregate its passenger
business for rate fixing without
allowing a rate that would bo
sufficient to pay the cost of doing
business and enough to give some
return upon the capital invested in
doing tho business regulated. This
was the issue presented to the Supreme
Court. Its decision responds
to the judgment of the fair-minded
sentlmemt of the country. The Supreme
Court says that, even though
a railroad earns a surplus on a particular
commodity by charging reasonable
rates, that affords no reason
for compelling It to haul another's
person or property for less than cost.
The surplus from a reasonable rate
properly belongs to tho railway company.
If the surplus is earned from
an unreasonable rate then that rate
should be reduced. The State may
not even up by requiring the railroad
to carry other traffic for nothing or
ffor^ss than cost.
The decision is a wholesome ore
land demonstrates that the ordinary
trules of fair dealing apply to railway
companies. The fact that one makes
;a surplus om his wheat crop would
never be urged as a reason for compelling
him to sell his cotton at Iobb
than cost. It would not satisfy the
man who wanted bread to be told
that Its high price enabled the cotton
manufacturer to get his raw product
for less than cost. In this case the
court reaffirmed the homely maxim
