States shutting out from purchase of American
goods all German houses. A number OF the great
stores cited have gone out OF business; those which
remain are carrying greatly reduced stocks None
of them have been in situation to meet the wants and
needs Of the great trade that is springng up in
Mexico from their respective trade territories
Manifestly it is to assist in rehabitatmg the
great houses that existed in the cities that are de
clared free that the federal government OF Mexico
has taken this important step-or to encourage otn-
or capital in entering the trade and establishing
GREAT mercantile houses To provide such stocks re-
oures very heavy capital To pay at once the duties
of stock of merchandise of such magnitude would
add immensely to the first cost and increase great
y the amount of capital necessary to swing IT, 90
very apparently for that reason the federal govern
ment has made free ports the cities named, all mef
chandise entering doing without payment OF
duties imports being levied w1en commodities are
sold and shipped out. AS rem rked IN the news
story Yesterday morning the now arrangement VIII

advantage to them but it will be SO snlaA prop
norton to the entire nnportati"n that the govern
ment will lose tte-in fact resultant stimulation OF
trade will be likely to eilance greatly the 1ederal
revenue at those ports.
Naturally this new departure gives rise to an
inquiry with regard to it's possible effect upon iron
tier ports. such as Nogaes, Naco, Aqua Pl1eta,
Ciudad Juarez, and other Places and their COM
panion cities on the American ;lde of the line; NO
gales. Naco, Douglas, El Paso and Others Hand IN
hand with dissipation Of the great stocks OF mer-
chandise described there was naturally great re-
duction of purchasing power In regions TRIBUTARY 10
the cities named Revolution and disturbance stopp-
ed the wheels of industry, agriculture diminished,
production and commercial exchange stagnated But
such business of whatever nature was done had to
find points to trade. Frontier ports offered such
points; and they have thrived greatly from cendl-
tions existing in Mexico the past ten years. Upon
the American side of the line Nogales' Douglas'
ri Paso have been benefited by the turn Of trade

the new departure check the benefits realized? That
IS an important question.
=. Perhaps it might be pious idea for the COM
mercal bodies of the two cities of Nogales to con-
slider this new situation, and set in operation IN
fluences which will create free port on the line at
this point It is something to think over.

SOMETHING TO THINK OVER

The exclusive news story carried in 1.-The Oasis
Yesterday to the effect that President de la Herta,
of Mexico acting under congressional authority, had
issued an edict making free ports at Guaymas, Al
tata Mazatlan and Salina Cruz, with other ports
on the Gulf of Mexico not enumerated is one OF the
most important pieces Of news that has broken In
these parts through many morths
To give complete comprehension OF the mag
ntude and import of the story it is incumbent to 60
back in the commercial history Of the West Coast Of
Mexico decade or more:
Preceding the era Of revolutionary disturbance
which began in 1901, there located at Quay
mas Mazatan, Culiacan, Hermossilo, Altata, Salina
Cruz, and other Pacific ports of Mexico extensive
merchandising houses with heavy capital, carrying
large stocks Of goods which in the extent of capital
invested variety and magnitude of their Stocks
rivaed the great jobbing houses Of American metro
politan cities Most if not all Of the houses cited
represented French and German capital They bought
in immense quantities, frequently order covering
shipoad Of goods; and each house conducted an ex
tensive jobbirg business in the trade territory tr
butary to the city where located. What revolution
arv troubles in Mexico failed to do toward dissipat
ing those extensive stocks of merchandise the great

THE 1sTEETH'' OF THE LEAUGE

It is now conceded that one great issue cOnfronts
the voters Of the country-the League OF Nations.
It is also admitted that vote tor Senator Harding
is vote to scrap the league and hat vote for Gov
ernOr Cox is vote to ratify the league
Senator Harding is justifying his action because
of Article which he claims would make 1t possible
FOR European powers to draw upon the United States
tor soldiers to fight Europe's BATTLES
Governor Cox replies that the sole power to de-
clare war rests with the Congress OF the United
States that this is a consttut onal right and no
League of Nations other power can abrogate It,
It stands to Cox claims that Congress will not
rush into wal needessly nor will American lads be
sent to Europe to fight Europe's battles.
Former President Taft knows this and breaches
this doctrine Elihu Root returns from Europe
where he spent months helping to draft the lnter
national court plan which is integral part OF the
League of Nations and which he submits to the peo-
pie of this country in all sincerity and which Mr.
Harding scraps" with the league.
By readirg Article 33 Of the draft of the inter-
national court plan you get at its heart Here 1t s
'tWhen dispute has arisen between states, and
it has been found impossible to settle it by diploma
Tic MEANS and no agreement has been made to choose
another jurisdiction, the party complaining may
bring the case before the court. The court shall,
first of all decide whether the preceding conditions
have been complied with; if so it shall hear and
etermine the dispute according to the terms and
t|:n the limits of the next article"
The next article sets forth the matters over
which it has jurisdiction. Now suppose that after
The complaining party brings case into court the
~+her party refuses to come into court. Here is
where the teeth are needed and the covenant of the
eae,'e specifies the kind of teeth it has chosen-the
penalty of economic boycott against nation that re-
fuses to arbtrate rejects the decision of the court
n it's powers of arbitration
Senator Harding offers nothing in the place Of
H;7 Great world peace lam He says that it is not
'~+o~pretatior but rejection of the League of Ma
fons that he seeks. Governor Cox says that he will
make an effort to have the League Of Nations ra-
fled as speedily as possible. The League Of Nations
issue Is the real issue Of the campaign. -

WOULD DEFEAT LEAGUE

HOW A SINGLE cows MILK
 INFECTED CITY OF BOSTON

How easily town may be infect ed by impure milk is well illustrated by an account of an epidenmic of sore throats in part of Boston, published in the Journal of Experi mental Medicine by Dr. J. Howard Brown and Marion l.. Orcutt of the department of Comparative Pathol- ogy of Harvard Medical School and the Department of Animal Pathol- ogy of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research.
 The physicians noticed that almost all of the children who were suffer ing from sore throats were fed chiefly upon milk. Investigation showed that this milk all came from one dairy. The dairy was excep- tionally well managed and the cows seemed in fine condition. But af- ter much patient work it was dis covered that one COW of the herd of 112 was giving milk infected by the same bacillus that had been found in the noses and throats of the children. There was, however, nothing about her milk that at tracted the suspicion of the dairy men. Further investigation showed that only single quarter of her udder was affected. The milk from the other three being of excellent quality.

THE BANKS OF THE NATION
 1.-The Sedalia Democrat

How few people there are who realize what the banks of this country did during the war for the cause of the nation? Not one in ten thousand understands or appre- ciates the service that they per- formed. Not only did they contri- bute to every fund for the benefit of the men in service, generally heading the list, but they did more than that-they gave the govern ment without a cent of cost the unstinted service of their organiza- tion in floating all the great loans that had to be made. It can be truly said that without the banks of the country the war could not have been financed and that if they had charged even the first cost of all the bookkeeping, the personal service, the correspondence, the postage, and the hundreds of other things that entered into the campaigns, it would have almost necessitated another loan to pay the bill. All this was freely offer ed and only through it was it pos sible to have accomplished what was accomplished during those times of the nations greatest stress.
 Not only did they do this, but when the Secretary of the Treasury notified them that their quota of a bond issue was a certain amount, they subscribed the amount stated, and in thousands of instances they even took more than they were asked to take. And then after do- ing all these things of themselves, it was they who made it possible for millions of men, women and children to buy bonds, by extending them credit and carrying the bonds for them to pay week by week or month by month, as best suited their con venience and means.
 It is impossible to fitly describe all that these institutions did to car ny on the great task to which the country was committed. The surprising thing about the whole matter to most of us is the little credit that has been given them. Everyone else has been given justly praise. The men who serv- ed, the dollar-a-year men, the Red Cross, the Y. M. c. A., the K. of C., the Salvation Army, all have been honored-and rightly too but the American banker has had to content himself with the con sciousness of having done his full

THEORETIC CAMPAIGNS

When Sherwood Magee, the ball player, joined the Boston Braves, he was informed that he would have to attend meeting of the players every morning, meeting that is called skull practice by the man. ager. At that time the Boston club was losing nearly every game.
 For an hour the manager and players went over every play of an imaginary game very carefully, an alyzing it so closely that, theoreti- cally, it was impossible to lose. Magee listened attentively. Al right, he said with yawn, as the meeting adjourned, i've have won that game, now let's go out on the diamond and lose one"

vocate the repeal of the prohibition narcotic and white slave laws.
 He favors immediate resumption of the work of the government on rivers and carrying on of a bigger plan to make them navigable in conjunction with railroad transpor- tation.
 Construction of trunk line high ways for transportation so as to render the country independent of railroad troubles is another plank in his platform.
 He also advocates the mainten- ance of levee systems as an ex- elusive national und trtaking be- cause the levees are used in con- nection with the general govern ment navigation purposes and be- cause conditions existing in over half of the states in the union.
 Judge Drivers stand on the con- troversy between capital and labor is of special interest. He favors strict regulation and supervision of organizations of both capital and labor with prohibition of strikes and the creation of a commission with labor, capital and the public rep resented on the board to settle in dustrial disputes and with power to enforce it's decrees.
 Another matter which should be of interest to every thoughtful citi- zen is that of immigration. Judge Driver favors the restriction of immigration at least until the coun- try is able to educate the mass of immigrants already here in the prin- ciples of this government.
 The speaker also took up the question of general education and declared that radical changes were necessary if the nation is to main tain it's teaching force and con tinue the present system of educa- ton.
 Taking up the propagation of Bolshevism and similar doctrines, Judge Driver said he wanted a sedition law with ample penalties, to take care of those who advocate a change by force and violence of our government to a soviet and in- stead of deporting such criminal aliens to European countries and complicating matters for other na- tions, this country ought to send such people to prison. %10

Shortage or Manipulation?

About the only thing certain in the
sugar situation is that the article is
mysteriously scarce and prices sky
rocketing accordingly. Householders
are panicky and their buying has con-
trlbuted to the price advance. AS to
real underlying causes, there are as
many opinions as there are of the con-
dition of stocks. Jobbcrs and brokers
differ dramatically on the latter; one
authority says the supply is exhausted
and there will be no renewal until the
fall crop, while another insists that the
supply is not more than ~ per cent
below normal and that boarding and
speculation have created the existing
conditions. The prevalent feeling is
that the situation is not so bad as
feared, but there is no optimism in
the prospect of relief through govern
mental activities. A sure way to de-
feat the sugar gambler, if he is
chargeable with the present shortage.
is to lessen the demand by economy,
but it is tinged with satire to advise
economy when dealers have no sugar
to offer even at outrageous prices
