BIRMINGHAM WILL HAVE SHIP A WEEK
 ID PACIFIC COAST
United Steamship Line Has Announced a Semi Month Iy Service That Will Be-
 gin August 19

United Steamship line of the Ham burg and American lines. largest steamship service in the United States and foreign trade. has real ized port of Mobile and the volume of business being done and capable of being done between that port and Pacific cost.
 It has decided to establish semi monthly sailings from Mobile and New Orleans to the Pacific coast ports. Page & Jones, Mobile. are the agents. George C. Mclaughlin is the Birmingham manager of Page & Jones' local agency, and will rep resent the new service.
 First sailing out of Mobile will be August 19 and thereafter a ship will sail every two weeks regularly. Stops will be made at ports of Los Angeles, San Francisco. Portland, Seattle and Tacoma with direct con nections for the Orient and Ha- waiian islands.
 With the introduction of this line in Mobile Pacific coast business, there will be a sailing of at least once a week both ways. Page & Jones. agents of the new line. were pioneer Mobile ship brokers in se- curing ships to carry Birmingham cast iron pipe to Pacific coast points and inaugurated that serv- ice. The cast iron pipe business 10 the coast led to other ships entering for that business and next step was securing return cargoes of flour, canned goods. fruits and the like.
 Steel products followed iron pipe under the low rates By water and the business in iron and steel to Pa cific coast has become as estab- lished as that in Birmingham iron. pipe and steel to nearby southern points.
 The Birmingham pipe business via canal began about two years ago under a rate of s15 and under via ship out of Mobile compared with an all-rail rate of s31. Out of this has gradually evolved tremendous interchange of traffic between Mo- bile and western coast cities and interior points back of them.

Our Unique
Ambassador
THERE has rarely been a more
fragrant blunder than the

hoo oSSh - AA~AS
fragrant blunder than the
q speech delivered before the
Pilgrims Society in London by
our Ambassador to England.
Apparently we must get used to
Harvey outbursts at Pilgrims
Society dinners. At one last
May, just before Memorial Day,
he told the British we had gone
into the war for no idealistic pur-
poses, but because we were afraid
not to fight.
| He tells "My lords and gentle
men" that America makes no
sacrifice in accepting the Wash
ington Conference treaties. 1t is
nothing whatever for us to scrap
half our navy and our naval forti-
fications, snuff out our army and
with the remnant of our defenses
guarantee the far-flung empire Of
His Britannia Majesty.
Mr.. Harvey, we in America
think it's a lot.
AS to the ratification of these
treaties, why, my lords and gentle
men, don't worry. He said:
I speak from information the
exactness of Which is beyond all
question that ratification Of all
these compacts by the British
Parliament Is no more certain
than their ratification by the
Senate of the United States.
Colonel Harvey has the unique
distinction of being the first
American Ambassador to commit
the flaming indiscretion of tell
ing a foreign government exactly
what the United States Senate
will do with foreign treaties now
before the Foreign Relations
Committee of the Senate, but not
yet even reported to the Senate
itself.
Ambassador Harvey is so cock
sure Of what the Senate will "ad-
wise and consent" to in respect to
these treaties that any discussion
of them by the Senate would now
seem to be superfluous; any reser-
walton or amendment to them i'm
possible.
Mr.. Harvey compared his dis
tinguished and always discreet
chief, President Harding, as very
much like "an elephant, symbol
Of the Republican party" If
anyone were to go to the animal
kingdom to find prototype of the
American Ambassador to the
Court Of st. James it would be
an animal with a braying voice.
When he said, a year ago, that
America entered the war without
any ideals, and fought only be-
cause it was afraid not to fight,
he talked foolishly and misrepre-
sented his country. He is guilty
of both mistakes again when he
advocates that a union be estab-
lished between the British En-
pire and free America:
Liberty and union, one and
inseparabIe, is the chief re-
quirement of our fWo Uorking
and trading countries today.
Such was the message to his
countrymen, on the eve Of the
birthday of the man who freed
US from that union, by George
Brinton Mcclellan Harvey, Am
bassador EXTRAORDINARY to
the Court of st. James

UsurpatiOn
of POUer
A NUMBER of trial judges
. have of late been dissatisfied

WAN Viz NSIuiSto VI iCc
in criminal cases and have been
indiscreet enough to express their
resentment.
One judge went so far as to re-
Duke the jury for bringing in a
verdict which he thought was not
in consonance with the facts that
were brought out at the trial and
he announced that he would have
the jurors names stricken from
the roll so that they could never
serve again.
The war has resulted in let
ting down many Of the barriers
against wrongdoing, but when
judges set an example in violat-
ing the law the result is likely
to be disastrous. Jurors some
times err, so do judges; both are
human.
In a criminal trial the judge
has the sole power to pass upon
questions of law and evidence,
and the jury has the sole power
to pass upon the facts. The line
between these two powers is clear
ly defined by the Constitution, the
statutes and the common law.
Judges are no more infallible
than Jurors. The record Of re-
versals of their rulings by higher
courts might almost lead a care
less observer to the conclusion
that most judges are wrong in
their decisions. At any rate,
they have enough to keep them
busy in the province assigned to
them by the builders Of our Gov
eminent without trespassing upon
the province of the jury.
If jury listen to the evidence
of a witness-be that witness a
policeman, a physician, a techni-
cal expert, or who he may-and
choose to disregard that evidence,
the judge has no more right to
express his disapproval than the
jury would have to express their
disapproval of his rulings on
points Of law. Less right, as a
matter of decency, because the
Judge can punish the jury for con-
tempt of court while the jury
cannot punish him for contempt
Of its rights.
NO JUDGE HAS A RIGHT TO
CENSURE OR REPRIMAND A
JURY FOR EXERCISING THE
FUNCTIONS ASSIGNED TO
THEM BY THE CONSTITU-
TTON, THE STATUTES AND
THE COMMON LAW.
OF course, if the question of
corruption or undue influence
arises, the findings of a jury can
not stand. But in that event,
the Judge has it in his power to
bring the offending jurors to
swift account
Judges have often had stupid
or stubborn juries inflicted upon
them. And, being human, they
have shuddered and writhed
when stupid verdicts were rem
dered.
Occasionally, too, intelligent
jurymen have heard judges make
rulings and decisions which they

ton of the proposition to buy the cleo
trio plant. The following are on the
committee: George w. Banks, Samuel
A. Lanning, Eben Yenney, William
Landless, j.. Albert Harris, Leslie
Caldwell, Martin Long, Chris Scully
and John T. Byrne. The committee
men will be informed Of their ap-
pointment by the city clerk.
Mayor Smith said that the noise
coming from the exhaust at the Crys-
tai Ice Plant was still an annoyance
to people living in that locality and
that Mr.. Lanning's attempts to abate
the nuisance were very feeble. The
City Commission has the full power to
act in this matter" said the Mayor,
land Mr.. tanning will be informed
that if he does not act Immediately
the city will stop the noise at his ex-
pense."
Commissioner Taylor, director of
Public Highways, said that two
white wings will be placed on duty
with brushes and carts during the
summer months to give the city a
perpetual spic and span appearance.
Mayor Smith said that the trolley
Company would be notified to place
red lights on the a of their cars.
The lights will be oil burning, or a
kind that will not be dependent upon
the power of the trolley. Oftimes
when the power goes off, the cars
stand in the street without lights and
a measure of this kind is a wise one
for the safety of traffic.
The city clerk was instructed to
notify the officials of North wildwood,
Wildwood Crest, Middle Township and
other adjacent municipalities that
when the Wildwood fire apparatus is
called upon to go out of the city a

we feel that we cannot bear the bur-
dens of others and that it isn't fair to
the taxpayers of Wildwood" Owners
of vacant lots will be informed that
the weeds must be cut off of their
properties or the city would do it at
the property owners expense.
A report from the Fire Department
showed the trucks and apparatus to be
in a far better condition than was an
ticipated. A recent examination and
drill was held and the equipment OF
the department is in first class shape
New tires will Immediately be put OF
