There' no doubt at aU thdt many thtnpa grow In a garden that tccra not sowed there. Dlsgrnco of Georgia WHKTHEH Frank was Bullty of mur der or not, Georgia in disgraced by tho occurrences at Mlllodgovillo last night. Tho mob vlolcnco thnt threatened tho Governor when ho commuted tho death sen- icnro ana tno murderous attack upon Frank In tho prison, together with tho ox fcltrd stuto of public sontlment, ought to pnVe warned tho authorities of Impending Hanger. Frank was In tho custody of tho State, and all its power ought to liavo been exorcised to protect him and by protecting him to assert tho ability of tho Common wealth to ehforco Kb decrees. But it was possible for a company of 25 men to forco their way Inttj tho prison, over power tho guards, drag Frank by tho heels td a waiting automobile, carry him 20 miles irom tho prison, tio a ropo about his neck Wld hang him to n tree. Were tho prison authorities parties to tho plot7 Did they connlVo with tho mob lead ers to deliver tho man to them? Their heglect properly to gunrd him could not havo been moro complete If thoy had de liberately planned to malto a Jail delivery easy. Not only tho State of Georgia but tho WhoJo country Is disgraced by this outrage tin Justice. Frank was on trial -in tho ilrst place, but the action of tho mob has now brought the Government of Georgia before the bar, charged with tho crimo of wilful neglect. Starting the Free Library THANKS to Mayor Ulankcnburg, work on tho rew building for tho Freo Library Is to begin aB soon as specifications enn bo drawn und contracts awarded. Tho prelim inary plans nre'so far'advanced that llttlo time will bo needed to cot tho tirnwin i shape for submission to tho bidders. It Is nopea mat actual work can begin early In tho autumn. An ndequato structure to accommodate a collection of books of tho size which ought to be provided for tho free use of a great city will cost about threo times as much 6s Is now nvnllnble. Tho trustees, how ever, havo wisely decided to becln tho structure with, tho money In hand nnd to lay tho foundations of the whole building. The city win provldo the remaining money as it i needed. This is much better than build ing ono wing or u central pavilion with tho 1855,000 now at hand, because It l In ,v. ftroaslon of the consciousness of tho need of a suitable library building and nn evi,innn of faith in tho public spirit of the city In Which the first public library In America was opened. drawn by himself, McNIchol Undertak ing work which Will bo Inspected by men not subservient to him, Is a very, different McNIchol from the contractor "boss who In other days was buyer and seller too. There is no objection to McNIchol as a contractor pure nnd simple. Ho Is a menace to tho community only when as n politician ho lets contracts to himself as n contractor. Hut suppose McNIchol names tho next Mnyor, and tho next Mayor names a Di rector of City Transit, who In turn names as Inspectors men on whom McNIchol has put his brand! Supposo tho contracts for other parls of tho work to be let during tho next four years are prepared by a McNIchol Instead of a public servant! Not much like lihood then of bids a million less than the estimates. Not much clinnco then of such enormous savings as Director Tnylor hns shown. To .McNIchol, contractor, good luck In his work, and may his engineering feats be neath City Hnll oxclto tho nilmlratloti of nil men. Hut for .McNIchol, politician well, tho voters have learned n thing or two of lato years. Hy WALTER PRIGIlAnD EATON TN BUMMER I wrlto every morning In a Protest Against Militarism SECHKTAIIV LANSING'S answer to tho Austrian protest against the- shipment of munitions of war Is directed to tho Amer ican pnclflstB as well as to tho Teutonic alliance. With ono blow It sweeps tho foundations from beneath tho feet of all those who think that peace can bo secured by an embargo on the shipment of munitions, and that mili tarism can bo avoided by such n perverted neutrality as would compel a nation to for bid the sale of war material to a belligerent. If tho prlnclplo for which Austria con tends were accepted tho nations In order to secure their own protection would bo forced to build munitions plants of their own nnd to manufacture such a supply as would pro vide for any rcasonablo contingency. This would place the burden of militarism upon tho shoulders of all peoples. So long as a nation may go Into tho mar kets of the world to buy what It nccdK In nn emergency that is, so long as neutral na tions may sell munitions to belligerents tho full cost ot operating a great war need not bo Incurred till tho war has begun or till It Is Imminent. If tho United States may not sell to belligerents when It Is at peace, then when tho United States Is nt war neu trals mny not sell to It, nnd It will bo neces sary to build great ursenals, to storo enor mous quantities of nrms nnd explosives, nnd annually to appropriate millions to keep this supply of war material In proper condition for use by replacing tho antiquated weapons and by Inventing new nnd moro deadly Im plements. Tho Secretary of Rtato faces facts ns thoy aro and Indulges in no special pleading. Ho nrgues against militarism with tho clear logic of a man with no Illusions.

The two mldshlpmon who were dismissed deserved their punishment. They were guilty of nn offense which should bar a man from tho navy and from any department of tho Government engaged In the nntlonal de fense. Men nre Bent to Annapolis, and paid by tho Government whilo they are there, In order that they may maBter tho subjects taught nnd qualify themselves for serving their country. They cannot "crib" tho tech nique of gunnery when In the presence of nn enemy. They must know nnd know thor oughly what thoy nro supposed to know be fore tho national defense can bo Intrusted to them. It Is of the first Importance that both at Annapolis nnd at West Point every young man who falls to appreciate tho gravity of the task for which ho la preparing should bo dropped that his placo may bo taken by a man of finer fibre. tSLAllQ! ir In ' W, nor are t- ji,d ,, The Braves came, saw, and were con quered.

But I find It dlmcult to work out of doors, oven In tho summer. There nro so many distractions! I nm fnr from tho telephone. I cannot even see tho butchor's cart wheii It enters tho place, let nlono hearing tho callers planning a suffrage cnmpalgn with my wife. An npplo orchard nnd n hedge of Japanese willow protect mo from tho near est road. Behind, my own potato field goes down to a tamnrark swamp. In front of mo my trellis of clomntls, with a rose nrch In tho centre, shuls out nil but a glimpse of tho gnrden pool, and Just now tho beds of lark spur and pink Canterbury bells beyond. No callers nro allowed to come back hero to dis turb mc Yet I nm disturbed Incessantly by the tiny clamors of llttlo things, making their Bwcet, Insidious appeal for attention. "Chick-n-dcc" With Ono "Deo" There Is, for Instance or, rather, thcro hns been a chlck-n-deo's nest on my very sum mer house. In n box Inched there to nttrnct tho wrens. Alt my llfo I have desired to havo a chlck-n-tlce's nest under observation, nnd thlfr year my wish was granted. L'vory morning while Mrs Chlck-a-deo was sitting on her eggs I saluted her when I enmo down to work. Standing In front of the llttlo gray bird bo I would whistle, very softly, the chlck-n-deo love call, nnd out would pop her pretty llttlo black head, nnd she would look with sharp eyes first in ono direction, then In tho other, pretending nil the while sho was looking for her mnto and didn't know I wan thoro nt all. Then, after I had settled down, and hnd Just got a paragraph well under way, Mr. Chlck-a-deo would appear with n worm or bug In IiIh mouth to feed her, nnd I would have to lay down my pen to watch him. First ho would perch on n twig 20 or 30 feet away, nnd without dropping the food from nis moiitn, say "chlck-a-deo" two or threo times very softly a pretty, wiry, tinkling sound. Ho never on any occasion added tho remaining "dco-deo-dees" of the fnmlllnr call. After repeating his announcement bo would then fly to n strip of tho trellis, besldo tho bird box, nnd sitting thcie oneo moro give his wiry llttlo "chlck-a-deo," mean while never oponlng his beak enough to drop tho bug or little worm, nnd keeping his eyes roving In all directions. Then ho would suddenly glvo a hop to the perch below tho hole In tho box, transfer tho food to tho waiting bill of his wife, who would have her head out ready, and depart. A fow minutes later I would hear him singing off somo whoro In the dlstnnce, ns if to reassure his wife that ho waa Btlll on tho Job. t The Oriole at tho Bnth Another disturber of my labors Is a bluo- blrd whoso fnmlly Inhabits n box In my neighbor's yard, but who prefers to hunt In mine. I can never resist watching tho flash of hl.s blue wings over the flower beds. Still nnothcr disturber Is a Baltimore oriole. Ho feeds in tho orchard, swallowing down a bug or catcrplllnr and then fairly dancing on a spray whilo ho emits a musical grace after meat. Ills liquid, ringing song, which enn ho easily Imitated, Is omnipresent over my gnrden, and -tthen he gets tired of eating ho goes to tho bird bath, whom I can hear him splashing, nnd so nm forced to leave my work nnd sneak up through tho rose arch tn watch. Getting Into tho shallow water, he tills his body Jerkily forward till his vivid breast goes under; then ho ducks hl.s head. Thpn ho straightens up and flaps his hrlN llant wings, sending out llttlo silver spatters on tho flowers below. Finally, hn hops to the edge of tho both, shakes himself, files to a nearby twig, shakes himself again and sings. I Imitate him and ho answers me, nnd so wo talk for five minutes. Sometimes a yellow butterfly Invades my privacy, fluttering across my vision to at tract intention, and then winging In circles over tho potato field or tho flower beds. I watch It In Its flight. Tho butterfly departs presently, nnd I can work ngiln until I chance to look tip nnd seo n gieat cumulus heaped behind tho hill beyond my tnmarnck swamp, a cloud like tho plied snow summits of somo great moun tain range. It scarcely moves In tho blue sky. I admire Its puffs and billows, the ex qulslto modeling of light and shade, the pink, pearly tints on Its edges. ok 'DRESSED ADDENDA TO "SCHOOLBOY HOWLERS" More Examples of Young Ideas That Missed Fire Evidence That Sometimes the Boy Is Humorous Rather Than Help less Skepticism Concerning the Cherry Tree Tale By ROBERT HILDRETH THERE'S no doubt about it. "Howlers," especially schoolboy "howlers," exercise a wondrous fascination upon tho general mind, Tho fact is proved by the far Jour neylngs of the collections of schoolboy "howlers" recently published in these col umns nnd by the epistolary response which their publication has evoked. It's llko telling stories tho other fellow Is nlways ready to toll another, perhaps a better ono than your own. Unquestionably the supply of schoolboy "howlers" Is Inex haustible, and every teacher who keens a diary ot humor possesses a storo of fun prjvocntors hard to beat. I cmbraco the opportunity of passing on a fow bits of delightful misinformation reportod to mo py rrnders of the previous articles. From, tho director of tho School of Flno Arts of a Western University comes a lottcr containing a welcome contribution to tho pay subject of examination answers. Tho question, "What wns a saga?" in tho courso on tho "History of Music," brought forth widely differing vlows. One answer read tu follow v. i "A saga was a pitiless warrior but a kind and loving husband." As tho director re marks, "This embryo Carreno evidently thought of iv Viking." Another responso ran thus: "A saga wns mado of wood nnd brass, hold on the left knee and played with tho right hnnd," Of such stuff Is mado tho criticism ot un picpaiedness for college.

The ant makes me think of my young apple trees set out this spring, for tho ants crawl up young apple trees and evidently dovour tho green aphis on the leaves. Have my new troes any aphis? I must get up and Investigate. Yos, they have. I must get tho hoso nnd spray them off! Back at laBt at my table I am freo to re sume my work, ana another paragraph gets completed. Then I hear a meadow lark, or even, perhaps a wood thrush, nnd arrested by the Bound pause to listen, and my ear catches clearly the various noises of the summer day, which so often wa hear with out hearing, and would only be aware of If they stopped altogether. I hear the tinkle of my chlek-a-dee, the gay,, masterful song of the oriole, the squabble of two quarrel some robins, tho full-throated call of a, song sparrow, the faint wash of the breeze In the tree tops, the shrill, fairy undor-song of the little things In tho grass, i hear, too the tit off cry of children playing, the bay"o a doar, tho purr of a motor elimblng the hill Into what a dellelous obligate t0 the blua an4 gold softness and freshness- of a sum. mar day all thane sounds blend and har. monla:e!

So I refill my pipe, call myself varlouj InwlUng names, take a fresh gtlp on ny pesrs of concentration and unce mara set to work. Why.Are tho Feet? In a public school this spring tho follow ing question was presontcd to the pupils for consideration: "Whnt do you know about tho care of tho feet?" Teacher Is said to havo been somewhat suspicious, thinking that perhaps a misprint had occurred In tho list of questions. "Caro of the feet" seomed almost vulgar. Verifica tion was obtained over tho telephone, how ever, and tho youngsters tackled their Job. Ono pupil wroto exhaustively: "The feet nre tho extreme end of tho body opposlto tho hed of which there nre two. Tho feet are tender. Some have corns and soma have aches and whatever you do don't think that the feet aro an unimportant part of tho body. What could wo do without feet? Wo couldn't walk. The dog Is a guadroped but the man Is a blpedo, Feet consist ot ten toes, nnd a heal. Walking Is Buch o good exercise and keeps the dlgestun In such good working order that It Is not good to havo the feet so sore that wo cannot walk." A little girl, In this crisis, drew upon her knowledge of mythology: "Tho feet ore bo necessary that Achillea was weak In the ankel and thnt was the only place that they could kill him In. If he had strong feet he would not have been hurt." While we're on the subject of physiology and hygiene a reminder of Its relation to economics Is appropriate; "Tight clothing la not only unnrtlstlc apd ' not aiyusn, uui u is nau ror growing boys and girls. My mothor bought me a dress when I was 4ght years old, and before I was nine It didn't fit. It Is therefore good that close" should be large enough so that growing children don't have to have new dresses too often. It is also Important that we should eat nourishing food. Peanuts nre not only unholesome but UBeless to the gas tric Juice." We should mlaa something if wa over looked the Information vouehsaffd j,y other members of the physiology elaas: The digestive system oonslsts of the ar. tlllery oanal." The eyea are located In the obituary oavlty." A Humor Ut of Conservation Conservation, a subject of whleh we all heard much ajew years ago. Is revived by a young humorist: ' ."Don't make whistles 0t Qt the maple Ktqr. tatwdtd that mly the wind ahguTd Wow through them. Owrt t or the $$ the tree and not always the twt thing i9t the boy. No matter what part you fall on, It Is always likely to get hurt." History, as tho study of tho lives of great men, Is a prolific source of schoolboy "howl ers." "Major Hale," wo nre told, "said Sick sem per tlrnnnls which is Latin and means I nm sorry I have but ono llfo to glvo up for my country. And then they hung him and every body wns sorry for liim becauso ho was such n young man and so patriotic." Another hero who serves ns a mark for tho wild shots of the cmbnttlod schoolboy Is Ben Franklin. "Benjamin Franklin." wrote a ten-year-old biographer, "was born In Philadelphia. Ho worked hard as a boy as well as as a man. Ho was tho Inventor of the kite, the stove, public libraries, lightning and electricity." What was it Patrick Henry said? "Olvo mo liberty or debt. Is llfo so sweet? Well sirs then mako tho best of It." Hacking nt History Tho well-known story of tho cherry trco Is told with variations ln a group of "exam" papers from which u history teacher quotes: "Abo Lincoln was tho 16th President of tho United States and freed tho slaves. His father never told alle.nnd said to his son Abe. bo never tell a Ho nnd Abo said all right father I will. His father had n cherry tree. Abo cut It down Just for fun nnd his father caught him doing It and to seo If Abo would tell tho truth ho said, who cut down my cherry tree? And Abraham Lincoln spoko up and said I did it father, I did It with my hatchet hut I'll never do it ngnln." Skepticism begins early If wo may Judg'o from tho following example of precocity: "Thoy tell so many funny stories about great men that I don't hellove half of them George Washington might havo been a great man but oven If his father rcolv did have a cherry tree and ho cut it down Gcorgo would maybe havo lied Just tho same as anybody else." If this Is startling what about tho cynicism of the boy who wroto, "If President Wash ington was so good ns to never tell a lie ho nover would havo been President"? "How do wo know that ho ever chopped v.w.T n.srry .eor. lnt,Urea anotlc mentntnr "Ti,- . ... . " ... ., uralua a lmng Ja m book is no reason why It Is right. It mlcht be that the thing wasn't worth anything anyway and George Washington know his father would not thrash him anyway and so he didn't care about tolling tho truti. That's If he really did chop down a Sly To abandon all attempt at classification here nro some other gems: ""ion, "Plants take n oxygen occasionally but always take in nitrogen nt night " "The life of the bees In the hivn i i.., a communal one; for they communicate aT, he time by buzzing or rubbing their an tennao together."

"In 1620 tho Pilgrims crossed tho ocean, and this wns known as pilgrims' progress." "Tho Mexican Wnr was caused by the turning over of tho spirit." "Tho reason Taft wns not elected in 1912 was that tho Republican party separated him."
