Use the Gulf Ports.

The congestion of freight in the
north, with consequent suffering and
closing of industries, has it's origin
solely in the strikes of stevedores, rail-
way men and others, at terminals
gested in population and buildings
that it is an easy matter, with the
foreign born labor element engaged in
this work, to shut off both deliveries
of necessities and the supplies required
to carry on industries.
There is but one way to avoid these
conditions. That is to make use of
southern ports where such an element
of danger ,or crowded conditions, do
not exist. The negro, the southern Ia
borer at terminals, is not striker by
nature, and it is very difficult to get
him to engage in such un-American
practices. AS a usual thing they are
one hundred per cent American, and
can be depended upon to do the
the work assigned them.
Again there is more room at south
ern ports than at those in the north to
make transfers from rail to water
carriage. And this can be still further
enlarged. Everything points to the
failure Of trying to do all the business
of this country through a few over
burdened northern ports. To do SO but
induces strikes, delays, and great loss
in a business way. The remedy lies in
making use of Gulf and South Atlantic
ports.-St. Andrews Bay News.

Chicago's Crime Record.

Judge Gemmill, of Chicago, has pub
lished figures showing that the total
number of arrests in Chicago today is
no greater than the number thirty
years ago when the city was a village
compared with it's present population.
Judge Gemmill says there was a de-
crease of twenty-five per cent in felony
cases for the first four months of 1920
as compared with the corresponding
months of last year when saloons were
open. Petty offenses of all kinds have
taken a decided slump in the second
largest city in the country under the
dry regime. AS the American Issue OBJ
serves, there is of course, room for
further improvement, but the big fact
is that in Chicago as elsewhere Prohi-
bition lessons crime by closing the
crime nufactories.-Miami Herald.

 The correspondent says further that it is now indicated that the war department is ready to expand the work of the Alaska Road com mission with a view to carrying on wagon road construction on more pretentious lines.
 It was the plan to have all mem bers of the board reside in Alaska but no mention of residence is made in connection with the appoint ments just announced.
