are denied privileges which we grant to the scum of Europe.
 Perhaps the Japanese can't be as- simulated and don't want to be assimi- lated; perhaps their standards of liv- ing, among the working classes, are lower than ours and economically we cannot compete with them. None of these reasons can explain away un- just discrimination.
 It is the constant friction between America and Japan, in regard to the race question and other differences where our policies and our interests clash, that keeps animosity alive. That is something the suavity of dip- lomats cannot conceal. The death of one naval officer win not lead us to war, but the death of several officers in such circumstances might do so. provided Japan felt prepared for the struggle.

PLANNED TO SAVE A QUEEN
From the Christian Science Monitor

From the Christian Science Monitor N SIMPLE two-story colonial house AA standing in the shade of tall elms in North Edgecomb, Me, just across the bridge from the old town of Wiscasset, is known far and near as the Marie Antoinette House
 Not that the unhappy Queen of France crossed the great Atlantic to sleep. a night, as guest, under the rooftree Of Capt. Samuel Clough. There is a reason for the name more piquant than either Of these
 The story runs briefly as follows: In 17S9 when the French revolution was bursting into fury across the ocean, this house, then located where it was built, on the northern extremity of Westport, called by the Indian Squam Island, at the mouth of Sheepscot river, was occu- pied by Captain Clough, who voyaged reg ularly to France and was well known in the big merchant houses of Paris.
 Captain Clough was in France when the Bastile was stormed and captured, and when the populace swept down the road and forced the King and royal fam ily to return to Paris. Although the cap tain, while relating it all to his wife and children, gave voice to scorn for the King and counseors, he spoke of Marie Antoinette in tones of tenderness and pity.
 Captain Clough saw more of the terror

in France in 1792 and again in 17sS. By then the palace of the Tuileries had been stormed, the Swiss guards massacred and Louis XVI guillotined
 Many months passed and nothing fur ther was heard from Captain Clough un- til message was received bidding his wife to prepare the house not as for q royal guest, but for broken-hearted woman. And the mansion on .Squam Island was filled with stir and anticipa- ton. Everything was cleaned and every thing was polished--all was made ready. And the wife the daughter and the son waited.
 But Captain Clough came home alone. without royal passenger, bringing royal furnishings, it is true, but bringing no Marie Antoinette, for whom they had been placed on his vessel.
 He told of the discovery of the plot of her friends on the eve when it was to have been carried out. The all-important message, hidden in a bouquet which was sent to the Queen, was taken by her jailors. She was hastened to her execu- ton, her friends to Imprisonment, and the captain himself barely escaped the mob as it surged through the narrow sG1eets.
 So the house. though so painsta1ingly prepared, did not shelter the Queen. Ana a shred of tapestry and a piece of bro- cade are about the only relics that now bear out the tale. Yet the title. Mare Antoinette House, stands unchallenged

Mysterious Murder of
 a Mississippi Judge

TN the annals of crime there are J few more atrocious murders re- corded than the staying of Judge Moody Price, at Meridian, Miss. Here was a man who was prominent in public affairs, widely acquainted and presumably with no enemies who would plot his death. While he is sleeping by the side of his wife. one or more persons enter his home. With the aid of flashlight the exact posi- tion of the victim is located and his head chopped to pieces with an ax. His wife tainted or was struck down and in the excitement the assailants escaped.
 There is not the slightest clue to aid in solving this mystery. The mo- tive must have been revenge, hatred so intense that the man who inspired it was filled with the utmost barba- rity. The theory that the crime was committed by some insane person is not tenable, because it showed pre- meditation and besides a maniac would not have slain the husband and spared the wife.
 Perhaps grudge had been nursed for years. Some one who felt the severity of the law, as administered by Judge Price, may have decided to revenge himself. There may have been quarrel unknown to the judges family and his most intimate friends. Whatever is the true explanation of this shocking crime, it is an interest ing case for a student of criminology.

 "The Birmingham Automobile club did good thing when they placed the safety zones on several of the down. town street corners" said Gaines Kelly, yesterday but in putting them down there is one thing they have neglected to do and which may cause people to be injured by them. That is, they have failed to provide lights or signals to warn people who are not familiar with the city that they are there.
 Especially is this true with the broad walk affair which has been built along the car tracks al the corners of Second avenue and Twentieth street. In the latter part of the night there is not enough light on the streets for the mo- torist to see hese things especially when he is ohserving the dinner law and has his lights turned down. Only last night I saw an automobile hit one of these safety zones, and it was all the driver could do to keep from going into the curb on the opposite side of the street.
 q don't know whether it is the duty of the city or the Birmingham Automo- bile club to place lights at these zones, but do know they should be put there at night before someone is seriously injured.'

Crucial Test of Warrior
 in the Hands of Shippers

IMO citizens of Birmingham, Besse- lO mer, Gadsden, Anniston, Tus- caloosa, Talladega, Cullman, Sulli- gent, Decatur, Columbiana, Clanton, Goodwater, Jasper and Sheffield real ize that they have in the Warrior river freight rate that is 20 per cent under the all-rail rate on mer- chandise from New Orleans and Mo- bile delivered at their door,.
 This is very live matter. The self-propellers capable of handling any kind of merchandise are on the river, plying regularly between Cor dova and the Port of Birmingham and the gulf ports. Every shipper in the towns mentioned and others in the favored territory can get freight at a saving of 20 per cent by this route. The opportunity will not re- main unless patronage is furnished. Northern Alabama must become wide awake if these towns would retain this great commercial advantage.
 Chattanooga, on the extreme north ern rim of the favored territory, At lanta, on the extreme eastern; Mont- gomery on the southern, and Aber- deen, Miss, on the western rim, are receiving merchandise by the self propellers now coming up the river. Gadsden, Bessemer, Birmingham and Tuscaloosa wholesalers and jobbers are availing themselves of this privi- lege of lower freight rates. The suc- cess of the river business depends on the unanimity with which the entire territory responds.
 There is all to gain and nothing to lose by using the river. Neither is it a slow process. The boats are mod crn and fast, and they maintain a regular schedule, The terminals are equipped to handle any kind of mer- chandise.
 Either the people of northern Ala bama must make use of this service i or it will eventually cease and the cry for freight rate independence will be raised again, and that time in vain.

Still Rubbing Japan
 In the Wrong Way

IrTI7HE protest voiced by Japanese ' U newspapers that the American government is making too much of lthe killing of an American naval of- tficer by Japanese sentry at Vladi- vostok is possibly justified from the Japanese point of view.
 The conclusion one draws in Amer ica from this unfortunate incident is that there is far more tension between the American and Japanese govern ments than the American people sup pose to exist. It is pointed out that the death of an officer, whether ac- cidentally or otherwise, at the hands of a sentry of another nation is by 5 no means unusual and should not cre- ate additional friction. That would also be true, if the sentry had hap pened to be an English or French soldier.
 There is no getting around the fact that the hostility of Japan for Amer lea is but thinly yelled. To give the Japanese their due, they have strong reasons to believe that they have not been given square deal by America. No matter what argument may be ad- vanced to justify our treatment of the Japanese, we are compelled to acknowledge that they have been dis tcriminated against.

From the New Orleans Item.
 The New York boxing commission has struck deadly blow to sport by rul- ing that no higher admission. fee than $l5 may be charged at championship matches. This limits the box office re- ceipts to $150,000, and Mir. Dempsey and MT. Willard couldn't box an hour for such trifle.
 When we read items like this we are tempted to wonder if we weren't a trifle too hard on the profiteers, who, after all, charged for their wares only two or three times what they were worth
