SHIPS AND cARcoEs.

It Is about as we some time ago
predicted. The operation of vessels
of the newly-created American mer-
chant marine to and from southern
ports will depend largely upon the
cargoes which these ports furnish for
loading. Sentiment will have little
to do with 1t. II the south is to have
a carrying trade upon the sea, 1t will
have to produce something to carry.
This Is the information which Chair
man Hurley, of the shipping board,
gave this week to delegation of
Mobilians who sought assurances
that vessels would be assigned to
that port. Mr.. Hurley's promises
were substantially as follows:
"As soon as you are ready with
the cargoes. we will be ready with
the ships. You go home and go to
work with the assurance we will
meet every step you take. You have
a big job ON your hands to provide
the coal bunkering facilities for the
ships to the western coast OF South
America. But remember when you
get the cargces We will be ready
with tho ships."
The pledges made by Chairman
Hurley to the Mobile delegation APP
ply with equal force to other south
ern ports. They constitute, in ef-
feet, a message TO the south. The
south has the ports. 1t likewise has
the potential commerce. What 1t
now needs to do is to organize its
facilities and concentrate its ener-
gies in utilizing its own trade out
let's and inlets. Coal bunkers and
local terminal requirements will. of
course, nave to be provided where
they have not been already, but the
main propositions are producing the
goods and generating a demand for
them abroad.
This situation again brings to

ton of pleasant relations, socially
and commercially. with our neigh
bors to the south. Trade possibili-
ties are there, all right. II is up to

PopuIIst Leader.


James B. Weaver, chief header OF the
greenback and populist parties, was a
born political fighter. In the days be-
fore the civil war. still in his early
tWenties, he was a noted republican
orator in Iowa and originator of the
phrase concerning the bloody shirt"
He used to relate how a pugnacious
northern preacher named Mckinney
moved to Texas, and being a man
bound to preach whether he could get
an audience of whites or not, at Fort
Worth gathered a crowd of negroes
and launched into sermon. The sus-
picious citizens leaped to the conclusion
that an abolitionist was exciting the
blacks to Instruction, and they rode
out. tied him up. and dashed him with
a blacksnake till his shirt was cut into
bloody stripes. Mckinney returned to
iowa with his evidential garment, and
lent it to young Weaver on the eve of
political rally at which the latter
spoke. Waving the tattered cloth be-
der this bloody shirt we propose to
march to victory!'

congressional debate with Weaver once

rule might apply on scale slight,
less elaborate for the more importan,
rural grammar schools. Such a pol.
icy combined with longer average

But there are so many ways in

much by haphazard. There ought
rarely to be clean sweep in choosing
school board, which should always
be composed of the very best per.

An indispensable requisite to any
effective school policy is a sufficiency
OF funds. 1t also seems desirable that
all school expenditures should be
taken care Of in the same budget,
This enables superintendents and
boards to plan more intelligently.
Definite amounts may in this way be
devoted each year to the program of
building and repairs which could be
carried forward progressively. There
ought never to be a countrywide OF
city-wide state of dilapidated school

matter of administrative routine.

proposals for the settlement Of this
question In that It does not contain
formal apology for this country's
responsibility in the Panama affair,
1t is really not TO our credit that
sixteen years have passed since the
accumulation OF Colombia's griev-
ance without an adjustment. II is
little marvel that other South Amer
lean states have suspected the good
faith OF the Monroe doctrine ana OF
our attitude of friendliness toward
them. We were obligated by treaty
to protect the sovereignty OF Colom-
bia over the territory embraced in
the canal zone. Instead. we saw 1t
violated without protest and actually
refused to allow Colombia herself to
protect IT, Then. even acquitting us
Of completely In the so-called rebel
lion, we proceeded to bargain with
those we had protected from the
wrath of the country from which
they had seeded.
No administration nor no secretary
of state, since President Roosevelt
has attempted to defend Americas
cause in the Panama affair. All have
felt that Colombia was Justly ag-
grieved. All have conceded the right
OF that country to compensation for
Its dismemberment and to an apol-
ogy for our recreancy to our treaty
pledges. These features have been
included In two or three proposed
treaties. but as against the stubborn
opposition Of Mr.. Roosevelt and his
friends, 1t has NOT heretofore been
possible to obtain a two-thirds ma
jority OF the senate for ratification.
BY eliminating the apology. as indi-
Gated above, the matter may now be
finally disposed of.
Many Americans will feel better
when Colombia has been compen-
stated. A great war Is just being
concluded in which Germany was
held up to the reprobation OF the
world for her ruthless disregard of
treaty pledges to Belgium. 1t made
honest Americans feel Ill at ease to
think their country was in an atti-
tude even remotely approximating
that of Germany. Most Americans
want to support their government in
every contingency. but they also
want to be able to defend Its every
act in the great forum of the worlds
