FREE PORTS
BUILDERS OF
COMMERCE
CONGRESS SHOULD GIVE THEM
PREFERENCE IN APPRo.
PRIATIoNs.
BY Peter Radford.

This nation is now entering upon
an era Of marine development. The
wreckage of European commerce has
drifted to our shores and the world
war is making unprecedented de-
mands for the products of farm and
factory. In transportation facilities
on land we lead the world but our port
facilities are inadequate, and our flag
is seldom seen In foreign ports. If
our government would only divert the
energy we have displayed In conquer.
ing the railroads to mastering the
commerce Of the sea, q foreign bot
tom would be unknown on the oceans
highways.
This article will be confined to a
discussion Of our ports for the pro
ducts Of the farm must pass over our
wharfs before reaching the water. We
have in this nation 81 ports, Of which
IL are on the Atlantic and 10 are on
the Pacific Coast. The Sixty-second
Congress appropriated over $51.000..
900 for improving our Rivers and
Harbors and private enterprise levies
a toll of approximately $50,00O,OO0
annually In wharfage and charges for
which no tangible service is rendered.
The latter item should be lifted OF
the backs of the farmer of this ma
ton and this can be done by Congress
directing its appropriations to ports
that are free where vessels can tie up
to wharf and discharge her cargo
free Of any fee or charge.
A free port is progress. It takes
out the unnecessary link In the chain
Of transactions in commerce which
has for centuries laid heavy hand
upon commerce. No movement is so
heavily laden with results or will
more widely and equally distribute
its benefits as that of free port
and none can be more easily and eff.
fectively secured.

Trial by Jury.

The New York Law Journal says on
the subject of trial by jury:
'While we do not think that trial by
jury ought to be abolished or that there
Is any increasing sentiment in that di-
rection, we do believe that the system
should be modified by dispensing with
the reQuirementfor unanimous verdicts.
This would obviate the element of in
dividual eccentricity as an impairment
to the administration of justice. Men
tai idiosyncrasy on the part Of judges
Is constantly exhibited and scarcely
excites comment. An eminent and
very able judge will dissent from the
ruling of his associates when 1t is ex-
tremely difficult to understand how SO
gifted a mind could have gone of on
that particular tangent. By permitting
afflrmances or reversals, notwithstand-
ing dissent. the personal equation is
eliminated"

FRIDAY, JULY 8, 1916.

At the opening of the new home Of the
Second Ward Democratic Organization
Club in Baltimore, Senator Blair Zee,
candidate for nomination for governor
and who shared with Mayor Preston the
distinction of being star speaker of tie
evening, asked this direct question:
"After all, Mr.. Furst is of course no,
candidate, the candidates are Mr.. Har.
rington and myself; and the question
still remains, and it is one the people
have right to have the information
upon in view of Senator Smith being a
director or the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, and Mr.. Harrington being
counsel for that company; and in view of
certain persons who are active 10 Mr..
Furst's committee being very closely con.
nected with the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, and in view of the further
fact that the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany is seeking very important fran
chises in Baltimore City which might be
granted by an act of the legislature; how
far is the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany interested in this campaign"
Senator Lee preceded this question
with reply TO Mr.. Fmst who had come
back at him after his speech at The
Eighth Ward Club, which was reply to
Mr.. Furst's first interview opposing the
Senator's candidacy.
Replying to Mr.. Fnrsi, Mr.. Lee said:
Mr.. Furst has resorted to the method
of attack always adopted by special in
terests when somebody begins to make
inquiry. He calls me demagogue.
The main object of Mr. Furst's inter-
view was to try to organize an opposition
to my candidacy in the hope .of carrying
one or two districts in Baltimore city and
also of arousing sentiment in the counties.
But the publication of the committee
which Mr.. Furst, after two weeks hard
effort, has succeeded in organizing. SHOWS
the utter collapse of the movement.
Senator Lee denied that he was raising
an issue between the city and county.

They Recall the Queer Custom That
Gavetthe City lts Name.
Historians relate that Antwerp takes
its name from a castle which in Frank
ish times marked the site Of the city.
This castle was built tosprotect the
entrance to the Scheldt and to pre-
vent foreign traders introducing goods
into the country without paying toll ia
the sovereign lord.
The penalty for theft ana smuggling
was In those days the cutting Off OF a
hand, and, as In this case the severed
members were thrown into the Scheldt,
the castle came to be known as And
hunerbo- or, in Flemish, Antwerpen-
'the place of hand throwing" The
castle and two severed hands appear
on the city arms to this day.

To the Voters.

The Republican candidate for CLERK of the
Circuit Court is to be Mr. Charles 8. Peacock, the
very capable recording Clerk of the Office. The
Republicans have thus met the requirements of
good and popular government in their candidate
by offering to the public their most experienced
and efficient man. The Democrats should accept
this challenge by choosing me as their candidate'
this will completely offsetan advantages claimed
for their nominee by the Republicans Other
wise it may be reasonably expected. that the
large body of self respecting men who desire
honesty, efficiency and capacity in public officials,
irrespective of party, will continue this office in
Republican control for another six years.

Misnomers Of Chemistry.

One Of the strangest features of
chemistry is the fact that many Of the
chemical names are misleading and do
not describe the articles. Here are a
few examples: Oil of vitriol Is no oil,
neither are oils of turpentine and kero-
sene Copperas is an iron compound
and contains no copper.
Salts of lemon is the exceedingly
poisonous oxalic acid. Carbolic acid
Is not an acid, but an alcohol. Cobalt
contains none Of that metal, but
arsenic. Soda water has no trace of
soda, nor has sulphuric acid Of sui
phur. Sugar Of lead has no sugar,
cream of tartar has nothing Of cream,
nor milk Of lime any milk. German
silver has no silver and black lead no
lead. Mosaic gold is only sulphide
Of tin.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

BRYAMT'S POETIC CAREER.
Two Facts About His Greatest Work,
HThanatopsio.V

HThanatopsis."
Bryant was nearly twenty three
years old when 'Thanatopsis" was first
printed In the North American Review.
So much has been said about the as
founding precocity Of this poet and so
many errors have accumulated around
the publication of his masterpiece that
1t may be well to state the facts.
We know just two facts about this
work. First, it was published when
Bryant was almost twenty-three-n mot
young for a poetic genius; second, that
In its original published form in the
North American Review it is not re-
markable poem.
It was in the 1921 edition of Bryant's
poems, when the author was twenty
six or twenty7seven, that the work first
appeared in its universally known
form. Only a few minor changes were
made after that date. This disposes of
the generally accepted statement that
"Thanatopsis" Is Juvenile master
piece.
Bryant was, however, precocious
poet, although his precocity is not dis
played in his greatest work. One of
the most extraordinary facts about his
poetical career. is that he actually pub
Nshed verse during the administration
Of Thomas Jefferson and during the
administration of Rutherford B. Hayes.
So long a period and SO slender an out
put speak well for his fastidious taste.
