BRITAIN MAY HAVE
FREE TRADE fight
SuCh'Is Prediction After Baldwin
and Chamberlain Are Heard

BY The Associated Press. us
London, Oct. 26.-Britain Is fast
approaching another general election
and renewal of the age-old conflict
over protection versus free trade, II
last nights speeches by Premier Bald
win and the chancellor of the ex-
chequer, Neville Chamberlain, have
been correctly interpreted by the
press. VA
Both the premier and the chancei-
| Ion declared for protection as solu-
| ton of the unemployment problem IN
England. Both admitted. however,
that the government was bound by
| former Premier Bonar Laws pledge
of year ago that there should be no
fundamental change in the fiscal ar
rangements of the country during the
life of the present parliament.
Mr.. Baldwin qualified his pro-
nouncement slightly by saying that,
while there would be no fundamental
change, he could not see that any
slight extension or adaptation Of the
principles hitherto sanctioned In leg
islature are breaches of that pledge"
adding Immediately: But IL at any
time / am challenged, am always
ready to take verdict"
Mr.. Chamberlain stated fatty that
if the government was to deal ade-
quately with the unemployment prob
lem during the coming winter 1t was
necessary that it be released from
Bonar Laws pledge.
Should the conservatives raise the
protectionist banner they would of
course have against them the whole
liberal force. Just where labor would
stand is uncertain.

POLITICAL" PRISONERS FREED

Although, on the recommendation of special pardon board composed of Newton D. Baker, Bishop Brent and Major General James G. Harboard, President Coolidge has restored the so- called political prisoners to liberty, the fact should not be overlooked that they have merely been given their liberty, and that their civil rights have not been restored. There is no reason why such rights should be restored. Nine of these men last summer refused to accept their liberty when offered them by President Harding on condition that they would agree to be law-abiding, or, if aliens, be deported. That refusal alone revealed their fundamental atti- tude of antipathy to our government. The sympathy that was worked up in behalf of these men was based on a wrong premise. If justice demanded their release, then justice has been satisfied. Beyond that there is no call for the American people to be further concerned.

OUR HEALTH PROGRESS

Adoption by the city commission of the pure-food law sponsored by the health department effective for en- forcement from last Thursday; in- dorsement by leading food dealers of this ordinance; removal of most of the objections by dairymen to still more effective amendments to the city's milk ordinance, are some of the things recently accomplished on behalf of the public health. These achievements are a source of qualification to the people, who now feel more secure in their fight against disease. They are step in the direction of municipal expan- sion, .and contribute to our invitation to industry. Nothing will so advance the efficiency and prosperity of a community as proper protection of the public health. It is in no sense a sen timental move; it is business propo- sition and source of community en- richment. Realization of this fact, not only by the health department, but by the people, including those who dis tribute food and dairy products, is one of the most encouraging features of this city's and districts steady progress.

JAILS FOR SPEEDERS

Under the title, That's the Way to Do It." the Memphis Commercial-Ap- peal recently carried an editorial drawing a practical lesson from the four-year sentence imposed on two auto speeders who killed two women on the public highways, and, without stopping, hurried over the country in a race with the police to get back to town. This is the second case of the kind of late which was properly dis posed of, the other being similar con- viction in Alabama.
 The Memphis paper, commenting the verdict of the jury, says: "Doubtless maudlin sentiment will be aroused in the breasts of some and they will vail. Confinement of these two men in the penitentiary for four years will not bring back the two unfortunate wo- men who were killed No, it will not. But it will be 8 warning to other criminally reckless drivers and prevent the sacrifice of other innocent lives to the speed mania of gas-mad joy riders and booze-crazed fiends who are con- verting the public highways into death traps. Statistics published few days ago showed that, in proportion to pop ulation, only two cities in the United States exceeded Memphis in the num- Der of automobile fatalities. This can be remedied. The jury in the man. slaughter case just ended has shown the way to do it."
 In addition even to jail sentences, however, 1t appears that the very right of driving cars should be forever with drawn from all who, through reckless driving, have taken human life. More severity in dealing with cases of reck- lessness is imperative.

Cleveland Plain Dealer)

Across Ohio and the Central states while fleet of prairie schooners will soon be moving, headed not West this time, but East, and carrying not the persons and the worldly goods of hardy emigrants bound for newly opened territories. but serving very liter ally as vehicles of propaganda. The first already has begun it's journey.
 It is novel form which state and national farm organizations are giving to their pleas for less legislation and lower taxes. At the risk of furnishing as much ad- vertising to certain popular mo- ton picture as to their own aims, they have revived the historic ve- hicle of the prairie colonization other body might have hired an extra press agent or used the radio.
 Tax reduction is an extremely popular subject just now. enjoying vogue almost like the recent one of King Tutankhamen, and en- gazing the time and the tongues of statesmen of every political hue; so that, when some result is finally achieved it will be pret- ty hard matter to distribute the credit equitably.

and social advantages which had been promised were different from what they were led to believe by industrial labor agents. Many negroes from the South failed to get work at good wages. Many others suffered severely from housing conditions, while still others were pinched by the climate and the high cost of living. As result many wrote back warning mem bers of their race to remain in the South, and appealed for means with which to return.
 Hundreds of farms in the South were straitened or abandoned because of a shortage of negro labor. Many farmers moved to centers of popula- ton when they could sell theim farm lands. The situation is reversing it. self now, and the tide has turned the other way. There is reason to believe that within a few years at most a large percentage of the negroes who went North and West will be back in the South taking their places on the farms, which means additional activ- ity in the industrial and agricultural districts and greater farm production.

NEGROES RETURN SOUTH

A special train was scheduled to ar- rive in Memphis last Monday from Chicago with two hundred and forty seven negro families. This was one of several similar movements of negroes, who went North and West during the last few years, back to their native heath, where they can live more com fortably, more congenially and render better service to themselves as we'll as to industry. Memphis is one of sev- eral Southern cities which have under taken to bring back to the South ne- groes who found difficulty in acquir- ing jobs at livable wages in the colder climates and learned that living costs

MeDUFFIE-MANY MILES AWAY

Alabama's commercial welfare is so interwoven with the development of the port at Mobile that any threat to the progress of the port is blow also in proportionate degree to the com merce of the entire state. Therefore, when the government was proposing to withdraw the steam dredge Wahalak, which for several years past has been constantly at the necessary task of keeping the Mobile channel open, the friends of the welfare of this common wealth at once sensed the danger to Alabama's commerce and the impedi- ment to the ports fullest development, unless the governments purpose were defeated. It would have been sup posed that the congressman from the Mobile district, MT. George McDuffie, would have been in the forefront of those defending the seaport. But he was not there.
 Yet it is known that the voice of local man raised in behalf of con- cern of local interest is more effective than any other. MT. McDuffies voice was not heard, and the withdrawal of the dredge was not countermanded. MT. Oliver of the Sixth district was there, seeking to defend the seaport. MT. Hill of Montgomery was there, earning his spurs as a congress- man by an earnest and courageous maiden effort to protect the interest of his state. Others of the Alabama delegation were there, every one of them, by voice and by vote,, seeking to protect the seaport from diminished equipment. But MT. McDuffie of Mo- bile was not there. He might not have been able to turn the tide in the ports favor, but many think he might have turned that tide, because he was elected by the people to serve Mobile, the district most immediately affected by the proposed act. As the record stands, he was not even on hand to do what he could Reports say he was instead pleasurably making his way to Washington by automobile.

MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY

Dear s. E. K.; There is a man am very much in love with, and I feel sure he loves me. Should I let him know how feel, or is it best to Seem cool and unconcerned until he tells me of his love?-Marie. I've come through many love affairs This just between ourselves, Marie And I've been caught sometimes in
 snares
 That cunningly were set for me; Considering my practice, I
 Perhaps should be a wise old bird, But why, fair maiden, tell me, why Ask me to pass the fateful word? I've never yet lady met
 Who failed, in time, to find the way To make the man she wished to get Say things she wanted him to say. fear there is not any rule
 That always fittingly applies; I've loved them when I thought them
 cool,
 And l have loved them otherwise. If I were he within whose arms You have longing to be crushed l might forget your many charms If too impulsively you gushed; Yet, on the other hand, Marie,
 If you assumed frosty air, I'll not deny that presently
 might learn how to cease to care. I'm but an ordinary man,
 Affected much by praise or blame, And cannot give you any plan
 Except this old one--play the game Perhaps his wisdom teeth are cut, He may be quick or slow to see; Sweet ardor might repel him, but Pm picking you to win, Marie.

WHO OWNS THE BALL
v Themas l.. Masson
Here is s gooa s.....u -

Here IS good football story. 2 little out of the ordinary, good because 1t is true and quite Ameri- can--also human, perhaps both of these things, being somewhat alike. One of my boys is on a football team and secently went to a heishooring city to play the team or another school. It happened that my boys team won from the other school. It seems that there IS a custom that the winning team IS always entitled to the football played with during the game. The cost of the ball is about seven dol- lars. After this game was over. however. the captain of the losing team went up to the captain of my boys team, took him aside and said that In his school they didn't make practice of giving the ball 10 the winner. and that he hadn't told him about this before the game. because" he added sienifI- cantly. you see. we expected to win"
 That didn't sit very well nm our ooys. Here they lad gone a long olslance, and rolled up g score of 70 to against their hosts. and were now told that the ball wasn'. theirs. They held . council and hnrriediy decided that it wasn't up 10 them to force matters. ana as IL was Question both of man ners and morals combined, they wouldn't do anything about 1t. but let Justice take it's course. This was all decided quite off hand in boy language. Pretty soon. how ever, when things had settled down. it became evident thai ths nosts were feeling very uncom- iortapie' somehow or other the atmosphere didn't seem right. And 1t wasn't so long before they also held a hurried consultation, and announced to our boys that they had made a mistake, and then turned over the ball.
 These boys who had lost wAre 1t first inclined to be poor sports Ehey yielded to superficjaI temptation.

 As soon as they did this they lid the square thing.
