Although this is hailed as victory
for the opponents of the Kansas court,
yet the point should not be overlooked
that there may arise times when the
public safety, fuel or food supply is
threatened by some private business
policy. In such cases the humble &C.
equations mentioned by the chief JUS
tice lose their relative unimportance
to the public welfare and properly
come within the constitutional obi
cation of government to protect the
public welfare. The Kansas court has
not been declared unconstitutional, as
it's opponents allege, but has merely
had its limitations defined, which is a
very good thing indeed. The Kansas
court may eventually be done away
with, but it is an interesting expert
ment, and perhaps something of social
value will be learned from its opera
ton and outcome. If Kansas has done
nothing more than saved other states
from going through with the same
tedious process of experiment, Kansas
will have been of general service to
the country. Even with the decision
of the supreme court in mind, it is
probable that the end Of the Kansas
court is not yet.

THE KANSAS COURT AGAIN

The United States supreme court
has decided that the Kansas court of
industrial relations is without con-
stitutional authority to intervene in
disputes and to fix wages in businesses
or private establishments clearing a
remote relation to public necessity"
The case in point affected the right
of the court to fix wages for an in
dependent packing company in To-
peka. Chief Justice Taft said in part
as follows: at has never been sup
posed, since the adoption of the con-
stitution, that the business of the
butcher, or the baker, the tailor, the
wood-chopper, the mining operator or
the miner, was clothed with such a
public interest that the price Of his
product or his wages could be fixed
by state regulation. One does not
devote ones business or ones property
to the public use or clothe it with a
public interest merely because one
makes commodities for, and sells to-,

THE PHARMACISTS

The pharmacists of Alabama meet
ing here in Birmingham belong to a
group of earnest men who are seeking
higher standards for their calling.
Pharmacy has only of late years de-
veloped into separate and distinct
field in which special training and
requirements have been demanded.
Indeed, the pharmacist was formerly
lost in the general practitioner who
compounded his own drugs and made
up his own prescriptions. With the
widening of the pha1.macopoeia, how
ever, and the division of the general
practitioner into host of specialists,
the pharmacist has come into more
mature stature and prominence. The
multitude of chemicals, drugs and
specifics, the manner of their combi-
nation, and the detailed nature of the
information essential to expertness
in pharmacy demand a more and
more highly specialized course of
training as prerequisite to recdgni-
ton in this field.
The pharmacists, therefore, have
developed a pride in their profession
and jealousy for their reputation
among the citizens. These men come
into most intimate touch with the
family, and upon their skill in COM
pounding prescriptions and medicines
depends in large measure the efficacy
of the physicians treatments. They
are rightly demanding that every ap-
plicant for pharmacists license shall
undergo searching examination as
% his proficiency along the lines he
is to follow. 1t is necessary also that
successful applicant be of high char
ter, for his power to do harm is
even greater than his power to do
good. There should be public graft
f;cation over the earnest efforts of
us group of specialists to place their
calling on a high plane.

HARBoR BOARDS GOOD WORK

Owing to the manner in which the
state harbor board has taken time by
the forelock in planning for develop
ment at Mobile without waiting on
decision of the supreme court on the
port aid amendment, that work may
be said to have been advanced six
months. The board acted on the pre-
sumption that the supreme court would
sustain the act. 1t viewed its duty
from that standpoint and felt it in
cumbent on itself to go right ahead
in case the amendment was sustained.
The board has accumulated a mass of
data relating to the Port of Mobile
as it is and with reference to the de-
velopment that is its greatest pressing
need. They have exhaustive surveys
of port commerce now and of that
commerce which is susceptible of be-
ing most largely and promptly in
creased.
The result of this is that when the
legislature meets in the summer ses-
sion to put the amendment into oper-
ative force by appropriation of funds
for the initial work, the harbor board
will have before the legislators for
their consideration an accurate and
lucid presentation of what should be
first done and what funds are re-
quixed for the initial features of de-
velopment The harbor board has
IL L,,c;,,o-cl;lro Tpc+ooI
of waiting leisurely on the delay oc-
casioned by question of the validity
of the amendment, they have pro-
ceeded as though the question had not
been raised. They have kept ahead
of the job. Even had the amendment
been declared unconstitutional and it
had been necessary that it be resub
mitted to the people, the work done
by the harbor board would not have
been lost. Chairman Miner and his
associates have given a fine example
of how men entrusted with an i'm
portant public function may perform
their duty, and the manner in which
they have done it is happy augury of
the businesslike character Of the fur
ther performance of their duty in the
actual building up of the port after
funds are appropriated.
Alabama is facing new era
through port development. 1t is en-
couraging to realize that this task is
in fair way of being pushed through
with all reasonable expedition accom-
panied by such carefully-drawn and
well-thought out plans as will insure
best results on the money invested.
Alabama's well-being is essentially de-
pendent on the economy and facility
with which it moves it's surplus of
cotton, corn, iron, steel, coal, resin,
timber and other products of farm and
factory to other peoples. The sooner
and more adequately the Port of Mo-
bile is equipped for this business the
,etter for all Alabama and every Ala
,ama interest.

THE MEASLES WARNING

According to health department
reports the worst is over as respects
the measles epidemic. The peak was
passed about the middle of last month,
they say, and henceforth there will
be comparatively smooth sailing. A
steady reduction in the number of
cases is promised. The figures had
dropped to ninety-five the first week
n June, which is regarded as en-
couraging, since the peak showed 273
new cases, officially speaking, though
the authorities estimate reported cases
as only about ten per cent. of the
real total. 1t is said that the great
majority of cases are never brought
to the attention of the authorities,
and that there is no way to remedy
this situation.
The measles epidemic naturally puts
people to thinking; people, at least,
who are concerned for the public
alth. Measles are hard to control
when the disease starts spreading.
lie QQcSplOL IL q dio0eiSC usually
considered harmless produces, directly
or indirectly, some thirty deaths in
this city and county, how much NOR
tally might arise from a serious cpl
demic of typhoid, and maladies devel-
oping from it, not to speak of the
trouble, heavy cost in treatment, anx-
iety, loss of time from business, ct
cetera? Typhoid epidemics can be
easily prevented by proper sanitary
precautions, and the wonder is why
the needful preventatives are not
Forthcoming.
Every day that the city commission
ers postpone earnest efforts to solve
the garbage problem by getting rid
of the dumps as monster fly breeders,
e public health and the public well
fare are just so far endangered from
a possible typhoid epidemic. Should
one materialize, the damage to the
entire community would be staggering
and inexcusable. Not only would the
people suffer at home from the
deaths, dangers and financial bur-
dens, but they would also feel keenly
the unfavorable effects from outside.

SHEARING TIME IN WALL ST.

The last few days have been strenu-
Gus in Wall Street. There has been
lively scurrying around among pre-
sumably well-established speculative
concerns to keep some more brokers
who are rated in the curb-market
class from going broke. A number
of these PARTIES who have been active
chiefly in the so-called curb market,
went to the wall and played havoc
with a large and varied assortment Of
patrons. The fact that the curb some
time ago acquired roof of its own
and proved that it had enough sense
to "come in out of the wet" did not
abandon the system of the sky as the
limit, but kept right ahead until things
became serious. Rumors flew thick
and fast in speculative headquarters,
as usual. These included reports that
a lot of books, records and profit-and-
loss sheets disappeared almost as
quickly as the funds of some of the
victims who enter the pyramid game.
1t is said that recent collapses of these
brokers caused losses of about an hun
dred million dollars.
With some few tender-hearted folk
there will be expressed pity that a
considerable percentage of the losers
are young men and young women who
got started in the game through their
messenger, stenographic and other
connections with some of the firms
themselves. A wall went up through
out the so-called financial district.
Even some of the largest security
floaters and plungers have felt the
effects through cancellations of or
iers, slumps in stocks and dreary
aim following the speculative storm.
Meantime the public refuses to get
excited or hang out crepe for the
zig, medium-sized or little sufferers.
Lambs are shorn at regular periods
in Wall Street, as everybody ought to
know by this time. Strange that the
experience of one lamb doesn't seem
to hold back another from rushing in,
'ough that is trait of sheep the
world over. Hence sympathy for that
group is scarce. The public figures
that the old sheep should be hardened
~ this time, and, therefore, deserve
no sympathy. Besides, the whole bust
Tess suggests a dog-eat-dog situation,
and the public never worries about
that sort of thing. 1t only recalls the
ouching little poem which says in
substance that flies have fleas upon
their backs whose business is to bite
EN-, and these still smaller fleas, and
so ad infinitum.

ONE RAILROAD ACTS WISELY

The Louisville and Nashville has
nothing to lose from having made
voluntary overtures to the Warrior
river transportation management look
ing to the establishment of through
rate divisions on joint rail and water
traffic. 1t is good judgment and the
exercise of sound policy to be grace
full about that which, in the end, must
come. The transportation act has
laid down the principle of fair treat
ment of the inland waterways and
they will have it in the final outcome.
The Louisville and Nashville is wise
sensing the time limit on further
resistance to application of the prfn-
ciples of the transportation act and
of those laid down in the decision of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
in the Warrior river case. The rail
carriers have much to gain by display

interest. That the public interest is
