The murdering of Leo M. Frank by a coterie of men of Georgia has created a world-wide unfavorable criticism. It has gone on for a long time. Negroes have been summarily thus murdered for 50 years. What is the remedy? It is obvious. The policy of the South has always been arrogant and murderous. The States right privileges are destructive. The only sure and swift way to check and stop mob rule is a federal law governing them the same as elections of congressman and federal offices and interstate commerce, railroads etc. We hope the press will comment on this feature of this article. If the federal laws were able to handle the Frank case and all lynchings the murders would be brought to the bar of justice and punished, and the atrocities would be soon abandoned. Give us the federal supervision. Congressman Wheeler should grab the opportunity and introduce the bill. ST. LOUIS GETS 1917 BIENNIAL MEET OF SUPREME LODGE, K. OF P.

SPRINGFIELD AND PEORIA, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, SEPT. Weekly in Springfield UNION GIANTS DEFEAT MISSOURI GIANTS. Sunday, September 5th was an ideal day for the base ball fans. The Union Giants had a strong line up and every man did good work. The famous Missouri Giants, a very strong team, was defeated at every turn and only one time got to home plate, while the Giants ran in 14 times. Several errors on the part of the visitors gave several to the Giants. Also Poston pitched a "mean" ball and the Giants batted St. Louis all over the diamond. It was a clean sweep for the home boys and shows that Mitchell used good judgment in placing the men. Cansler did well on second base. PEORIA, ILLINOIS; JEFFERSON HOTEL NOTES.

SATURDAY, SEPT. 11, 1915 The Lynching of Leo M. Frank was not the most dastardly deed committed in this country but next to the worst. No language is strong enough to describe the deeds committed by the mob upon the colored man of this land during the past 35 years. Recall the Sam Hose Case, also of notorious Georgia, then go to Paris Texas, come back to Coatesville Pa., this side of the "dead" line and let your consciences be your verdict. Awful & hideous are mild terms. The many friends of Mr. & Mrs. John Gaddie, formerly of Springfield will be pleased to hear of the promising future of the two boys Lloyd and Granville, who, when they left here were mere "kids," but who are now young men and model fellows too. Lloyd is now 18, both youngsters are in high school. They are assiduous workers and studious. During vacation these young fellows earn from $1.75 to $2.00 per day at hard labor, choosing this voluntarily. Lloyd is ambitious to be a lawyer and Gransville inherits music. Neither has given their parents any trouble or even worry. They are not only not "bad," but contribute materially to the help of their mother, a thing not only surprising but "phenomenal" when the general "run" of young people are compared. They are also Christians. We are very glad to report this so the young fellows of Springfield may take notice. Mrs. Gaddie is and she should be very proud of them. Lloyd is taking manual training and has done very creditable work. A work which was on exhibit for the H. S. Manual Training Dept. and which adorns Mrs. Gaddie's parlor and dining room. The writer was astonished to see the advancement made by this young man as well as filled with admiration. J. B.
