What Will Georgia Do About Itf
With the whole country aghast at the mob
murder of Leo M. Frank, the all absorbing Ques
tion Is, What will Georgia do about It?
No one can read the account of the deliber
ately planned and unimpeded lynching without
telng forced to the conclusion that the authori
ties were either cognizant of, If not In complicity
with, the blood-thirsty outlaws, or wilfully and
recklessly negligent of their duty to protect
Irank. knowing full well the danger with which
be was constantly threatened.
Secretary Daniels rushes into print to give
expression to his Indignation, coupling with It
the statement. "I have no doubt the governor of
Georgia will employ every possible agency to
discover the mob murderers and to bring them
to trial and punishment."
For The Dee, we regret to say that we enter
tain a whole lot of doubts, and believe we re
flect the general sentiment of a multitude of
dcubters. Members of the Georgia prison board
have already begun exculpating the prison offi
cials, and the governor, instead of immediately
acting, waited to be called upon to do something
by the sheriff of the county in which the crime
v-as committed. Of course, Georgia will go
through the forma of Investigation, and may
even return a few indictments, but Georgia will
have to do more than merely make motions to
regain any measure of outside confidence in its
purpose to protect life there and to do justice.
The Looting- of the Bock Island.
The astounding disclosures made by the In
terstate Commerce commission as a result of its
Investigation of Rock Island affairs have been
laid before the Department of Justice, as well
as the public. Tt is now to be determined if any
process of law is capable of reaching the men
who have been guilty of the unscrupulous jug
gling of other people's money, as shown in this
case. The report of the investigators shows the
loss of many millions of dollars, due to the
wrong handling of the business of the company,
charges misrepresentation to stockholders and
other forms of deception, and points out that
the stock of the company, selling at over $200
a share twelve years ago, has been brought to
20 as a result of the mismanagement of those
in control. This wrecking of a prosperous cor
poration through alms of ambitious financiers
Is another significant signpost on the way of
business, and its lesson cannot be mistaken.
It is peculiarly illuminating to find in the
report that large sums were paid to individuals
and other agencies, whose clamorous advocacy
of truth and righteousness In all things might
lead casual observers to look upon them as
sleepless sentinels at the temple ot justice. One
of these Is C. H. Venner, who has so persistently
attacked the credit of Omaha, and another is a
Denver newspaper, whose boast is that it has
a "heart and soul." It evidently baa some of
the other things that make up physical and
spiritual perfection. -
Aa for the Rock Island 'railroad, It should
soon be rehabilitated and restored to Us high
place among the trafflo bearers of the world.

dustrious and thrifty people and no good reason
for its being long in the hands of a receiver can
be noted just now.

Why Japan Unit Fig-Ming-.
The case between Japan and Russia has sev
eral times been referred to of late, and quite
lecently has been cited as evidencing the power
of the United States In the settlement of great
wars, in most instances the facta nave been
misstated, especially aa to the part the United
States had In the settlement. It Is true that
Ireslden Roosevelt did negotiate the armistice,
and the good offices ot this country in the pre
liminaries to the Portsmouth conference were
accepted. Whatever of Influence this country
bad In inducing Japan to accept a peace that did
not carry with it all the mikado's government
might have sought must be considered In con
nection with some other very Important factors
One of these la that Japan was bankrupt. It
v as costing that country a million a day to keep
Us armies in the field, and the last hundred
days of the war, leading up to and including the
decisive battle of Mukden, were financed prac
tically by funds obtained (n the United States.
Japan sought to float an unsecured loan of
100,000.000 in Europe, and was refused; this
loan was underwritten by ft syndicate of Amer
ican bankers and it was on this money that
Japan was able to prosecute its share of the war
until mediation was proposed by President
Roosevelt. Victorious, but penniless, Japan was
ready to conclude a peace on any torms that did
not carry abandonment of everything gained by
fighting, and Von Wltte knew what he was
doing when he answered, "Not ft kopeck!" to
the Japanese demand for indemnity. And Japan
knew it, too, and did not press the point
These facts should also be recalled whenever
talk of Japanese attack on the United State Is
heard. The little brown brother ia active and
ambitious, but not altogether without common
sense or realization of his own limitations.
Bohemia in the Dual Empire
Xaaseys '
retotar Tsajoroff la
Tha Bohemlana and the Mayara. aa the only to
considerable nationalities wholly within the boundaries
cf the Auatro-Huncarlan emplra, deserve special men
tion In any account of the past and present of the
dual monarchy.
Fracie, the capital of the Czechs, la one of the rH-
et centers of civilization In central Burope. The
(widen period of Bohemia came In the relgne of
Ottokar. the rival of Rudolf of Hapeburr, and of Otto-
kar's son, Wenreslaiia II, who was kina of Poland
and of Moravia, as well as of Bohemia. The memory
of Wenreslaua Is cherished by Csecha as an Ideal of
national unity.
The Cserh nation took a pioneer part In the vaat
Intellectual and religious movement known aa the Re
formation. John It ue, the Bohemian apostle of non
conformity, preceded Martin Luther by a good half
century, and was the flrat great continental leadir
of thought to respond to the teachings of John Wycllf
of Kngland.
The Huaslte protest against the existing ecclesi
astical order took on a distinctly national character.
Mummoned to Rome by Pope Alexander V (1410) to ex
plain Ms Wycllflte doctrines, Huaa declined to obey
the summons. His defiance of the Papacy produced
profound Impreaslon, not only In Bohemia bnt la
Poland aa well, and ha was greeted aa a Klavlo leader.
Placed under the ban of heresy, (fuss In 1414 re
paired to Ccnstance to defend himself before the
ecumenical council convened there. Although be had
safe-condurts granted by Wenreslaua IV of Bohemia
and by Siglsmund, German emperor and king of Hun
gary, and waa escorted by a powerful suite of Bohem
ian and Polish noblea. he was publicly burned, with
his writings, and hla ashes were cast Into tho Rhine.
The five hundredth anniversary of hla death was oh.
served In Bohemia ar.d In many Protestant countries
this year a an event that marked aa epoch la tliu
liletory of religious liberalism.
In the war that followed the tragedy of Conetanoe,
Siglemund waa eventually victorious, but the Impetus
which Husa and his aid, Jerome of Prague, had given
to the national awakening waa too great to be Sup
pressed. The Oarmanlxatlon of Bohemia was definitely
halted.
The University of Prague, founded m 184 on the
model of the University of Paris by tha Emperor
Charles IV, for many yeara served as a battlefield
In the struggle between the nationalities. Finally, In
1SSJ having found it Impossible to give to tho ancient
Institution a distinctively Slavlo character, tho Csech
professors and students, under the patronage of tbo
t.mperor Francis Joseph, succeeded In establishing a
separate university a an offshoot of the one founded
by Charles IV.
Ths relations between tha older institution and tha
younger present a curious duality. The Bohemians
avail themselves freely of their right to the use of tha
exceptionally rich library of tha German university.

Slavlo culture has served within tha last fifty yeara
as a source of light and leading- for tha so-called

Bulgarians, ana the Montenegrins. The University of

It certainly takes gall for our amiable dem

'call" Judge 8uttoa for asserting that "for

Judge Sutton's wild assertion needs to be

not some one volunteer an explanation
whether a bualneea conducted on tho

ty of Omaha? To make a long story

tha Editor of Tha Bee: Time Is too

thority from God by a priest to control
the minds of the common people. It co
operates with government to got re
sults, which are wealth and power for
the priestly and governing class, and
poverty ana servitude to tho common
people. As the people become Intelligent
they become less religious and mora
democratlo.
All tho despots that have ruled this
world, from the most ancient to the pres

who taught the common people to obey
the despot. The king of England swears
