Entered as Becond-class matter at
the post office at Sherman. Texas,
under act of March 3, 1879.
. Governor Slaton of Georgia has
committed the sentence of Deo
Frank to life imprisonment. i
Several days last week the gover-
nor heard argument for leniency in
Frank’s behalf and the oilier side
had their day before 'the governor,
also.
Out of Atlanta lias come » strong
public sentiment to t-xpcuie the He-
brew who was convicted of the mur-
der of Mary Fhagan, an employe of
the pencil factory over which Frank
had the management.
Frank's conviction was brought
about by the confession of a negro
man employe of the fact —y, who
has just been released from a year’s
penal Servitude. 1 He told several
Stori* r and so flimsy has been the
evidence upon which Frank was
condemned that the case attracted
nation wide interest, followed by
many overtures in petitions and
letters to the governor for commu-
tation
The trial judge, now’ dead, left a
written Catement that he was .not
fully convinced of Frank’s jmlit,
yet no juryman has ever iiVyjde a
like statement.
During the I rial there was an ex-
cited populace and throngs kc-pt
vigil in the streets and around the
court house, it is alleged to see to
it. thift Frank was convicted of the
murder with a death penalty sen-
tence. Bearing out the assertion of
intimidation the prisoner was not
permitted to hear the verdict but
was sent to jail and kept there while
the verdict was announced.
The Democrat is glad .-to tell the
news ot Frank's commutation to
lif i imprisonment. He made a re-
markable appeal for a chance to
prove his innocence and his address
to the court when sentence was
about to be pronounced upon him
seemed 'to come from the mind and
heart of an innocent man. He may
be innocent of any guilty knowledge,

This was a good day’s work for

and ail who wanted his life blood,
but the governor pondered well all
the law and evidence and did what
he deemod his duty.
A Grayson county man, Julian C.(

As more of the maritime powers
are drawn into the war, It be ,
eomes increasing difficult for our ex-
porters to get cargo Bpace so as to
send our goods' to the foreign mar-
ket. The recent Pan American Fi-
nancial Conference at Washington
laid great stress on the importance
of shipping facilities, and appointed
a notable committee to take up the
problem of better transportation to
South America. There is going to be
a lot of other work done very soon
toward establishing-steamship lines
between our ports and those or the1
Latin Republics, it may well he
that the Administration will Intro
duce measures at the next session of
congress looking toward government
aid for these projects. If so, there
are some lessons to be remembered
Weighing 6,900 pounds, consisting
of fifteen thousand parts and dls
playing twenty-six separate and dis-
tinct mechanical and astronomical
movement* and valued at $50,000,
are some of the features of a won-
derful clock r.to he exhibited at the
State Fair of Texas this fall. The
exhibit will be essentially eduealion-
al—in line with the State Fair poli-
cy.
One wonderful feature of this
unique exhibit is that all of the va-
rious mechanical workings are pro-
pelled by one weight. Four differ-
ent kinds of time systems are shown
— nioan time, solar time, star time
and decimal time. Ten dials show
the exact time in ten of the princi-
pal cities of the world. A largo
globe, representing the earth, re-
volves on its own axis from west to
cast. It lias a hand played which
shows the exact time at any point
on earth; and shows the correct
posi iou of the earth to the sun. On
the reverse side Is another globe
representing the Heavenly Constella-
tions, all minutely propelleil< to their
exact time.
Among other features, the clock
shows various chronological cycles,
the time when the sun rises and
sets, the phases of the moon, gives
accurate weather indications, shows
all phases of the planet system and
the movement of the six planets -

A 150-page bulletin, profusely il
luKtrated with maps and diagrams,
entitled “Studies in Farm Tenancy
in Texas” hag just been published
by the University of Texas.
This bulletin deals not only, with
the relation of renter to landlord
but also traces and growth and de-
velopment of tenancy in. the state,
the rise of the “bonus system” and
the pernicious influence of tenancy
upon our public schools, it shows
that one-crop farming and tenancy
go together. Closely connected with
these are the lack of personal prop-
erty on the part of the tenant, de-
crease in livestock production, and
soil depletion. It discusses llio
makes tt * source of credit, the high rate of in-
terest, and the chattel morgage, and
their relation to the present type
of farming.
The constructive suggestions are;
compulsory education, better rural
schools with courses dealing with
/arm life; a Land Commission to ac-
quaint landlords with the conditions
among tenants, and the tenants with
renting conditions over tlie state.
This commission would act in the
same capacity as some of our city
labor commissions which try to pre-
vent unemployment. The coopera-
tive movement is also suggested,
supplemented by certain kinds of
constructive legislation.

COTTON A CONTRABAND.
London newspapers are clamoring for
the British government to make cot-
ton a contraband article of war in
order that neutral ships may he
seized on the high seas and the raw
material confiscated. Cotton is ;i
southern^ staple. In fact. It Is the
principle staple of ten southern
states. The European war, which
began in 1M4, cost the southern
people $400,000,000. If cotton is
to be made a contraband article of
war, if the South is to suffer, then
why not make wheat a contraband
article of war? Wbfr not make all
food supplies contraband? Why
make the South the goat? Why per-
mit all other Boctions of the United-
States to reap a hnrvest. President
Wilson should send a note to Great
Britain. (John Bull does not own

Court Justic Frederick
New York.
In granting, a divorce to an un-
happily mated couple Justice Crane
paid his respects to the marriage
and divorce system of today in the
vfollowing language:
“Marriage is the cheapest thing
under our law. Marry one day and
then come into court the following
morning and get a divorce. Swap-
ping wives and husbands has become
as common as swapping horses in
our country. If we want polygamy,
why don’t wo come out bravely and
estrbllsh it here? We judges, the
supposed guardians of the law, arc
forced, practically, to nit back and
wink at felonies and watch*the of-
fenders go free.”
Justice Crane spoke feelingly. Mia
sense of decency was no doubt out-
raged. But Justic Crane has only
a slight, conception of our marriage
and divorce system. The laws of
the State of New York are the most
rigid on the question of divorce of
any state In the Union. In the state
of New York there is only one ground
for divorce.
Next, and closely following those’
of Nevnduj the laws of the State of
Texas, on the same subject are the
