PROGRESS.


 The first newspaper libel suit tried in the United States after the revolu- ton involved a serni-weekly journal called The Herald of Freedom and Federal Advertiser. which was found- ed in Boston by Freeman and An drews, 126 years ago to-day, Sept. Is, 17S8. The Herald of Freedom was largely devoted to spicy comment on politics and politicians; and in scourg- ing the enemy it made use of language that was far from mild. A large proportion of all the opprobious cpl thets fit to print were applied by the paper to a certain member of the legislature, and that gentleman, in a peevish mood, brought suit against the editors for libel. Harrison Gray Otis, then rising young lawyer and afterward famous as Congressman, Senator and Mayor of Boston, was counsel for the editor, and the latter was acquitted. The first newspaper libel action tried in an American court was in 1734, when John Peter Zenger was charged with having printed divers ScandaIous, Virulent False and Seditious Reflections, not only upon the whole Legislature. in general, and upon the most consid- erable persons in the most distin- guished stations in the Province, but

CENTRAL AMERICAN STATES CELEBRATE
 FREEDOM TO-DAY.

This is independence Day in the Central American republics of Costa Rica. Guatemala, Honduras, Near agua and Salvador, and every city, v1l- lage and rural community between NFexico- and Panama will reyel in pa triotic demonstrations. The fiesta or libertad usually extends through four days. as the exuberant Latins find it impossible to unbottle all their effer- vescent enthusiasm within a, space of twenty-four hours.
 It was on Sept IS, 1921. that the provinces comprising the spanlsn
 Kin nRdom of Guatemala declared their independence. Between =1Sll
 and 1921 there had been several revo-
 Iutions, but the earlier insurrections
 had been suppressed with. great se- verity by the Spanish authorities, and 1t was not until 1921 that indepen-
 6ence WAS achieved. The Spanish
 governor, Gabino Gainza, perceivfng
 on which side his bread was butter
 ed, cast in his lot with the rebels, and was elected president of the provls- ionaI tunta His administration was
 brief, for in January of the following year Gen. Iturhide, Emperor of Mex ico, benevolently assinilated the Cen tra.l4 Ann erican states. This was noI to the liking of all of them, and Tn
 Salvador the opposition was so strong that the people raised the
 Stars and Stripes and the authorities passed a. resolution for annexation to
 the United States. While Uncle
 Sam was still pondering over the question as to whether or not he should take Salvador under his pro lection, the Mexican empire collaps- ed and the Central American H'eder- atfon was, formed, with Gen. Jose Arce
 as first president.
 The federation was far from being a happy family, however, and the va rious states seeded one by one and set up governmental housekeeping for themselves. Since then numerous A.ttempts have been made to re-estab- fish the federation, but all have fail- ed Unionist sentiment is still strong in most of tn countries, however and it is likely that with increasing l stability prosperity and develop ment, a basis of union will soon be found.
 The unionists have been carrying on an extensive propaganda for sew eraI years Honduras and Salvador are the centers of the movement, and there is understood to be a strong
 sentiment for confederation in Nica- ragua and Guatemala. The presence | of United States marines in Nica-
 raguat is considered an obstacle to un- ionist progress in that country, while the stern suppression of free speech and free press in Guatemala. make it 1 necessary for the unionists to main 1 tain great secrecy in their propagan- 1 da. Costa Rica is bitterly opposed | to a union with the more backward
 states. Costa, Rica has attained a
 high state of culture and material prosperity, and the people have no | desire to cast in their lot with the more backward republics
