WALKER BUILDS SCHOOLS

The progressive spirit of Walker county, which is one of the most im- portant industrial districts of the state, has been manifested in several ways within the last year or two. A number of coal mines have been open ed or enlarged, and building activity in many parts of that county has been extensive, not to speak of consider able road construction and paving en- terprises. Now comes announcement that seventeen school buildings have recently been finished or are nearing completion. None of that countys progressive undertakings promise so far-reaching and permanent returns as the additional educational facilities which the enlarged school building program will provide. This evidence of appreciation of the value of schools as a factor for higher efficiency and greater progress is tribute to the forethought and patriotism of the peo- pie of that county.

STRIKING AT FREE SPEECH

The right of a citizen to criticize court decision is challenged by the action of a New York federal judge in sentencing the New York city comp troller, Charles c. Craig, to sixty days in jail for writing to the state com mission a letter in protest against a court ruling which seemed to him un- fair. The sentence appears all the more unjust in that MT. Craig was fighting for the public he was elected to serve and which he thought the ruling treated unfairly. It does not appear that the comptroller sought in any way to obstruct the court. He merely criticized the ruling.
 Although it has been the habit of the American people to give the majesty of the courts all due respect, it has not yet gotten to the point where the American people are will ing to concede infallibility to any judge. Nor are the American people forgetful of the fact that the courts are established by law, which in turn is established by the people. Certainly there is conveyed by the law no ob- ligation on the part of the people to treat or regard court opinion as something sacro-sanct, which must neither be. questioned nor criticized. That courts are liable to err is ex- plicitly recognized by our elaborate system of appeals and recourse to higher courts. If courts were to be regarded as infallible or above criti- cism, certainly there would not have been the remedy against possible court error.
 Whenever a judge sentences citi- zen to jail on the ground of contempt when there has been no act except hon est criticism and expression of differ ence of view, that judge strikes at the very root of liberty of speech and of opinion. The courts must be respected, to be sure, and there must be no act calculated to cause rebellion against a

SUPERVISING THE PACKERS

The refusal of Swift and Company to open their books to the inspection of the secretary of agriculture, on the ground that the law does not give the secretary authority to compel such in- spection, re-opens discussion that was closed when the law was passed. For merly the packing companies were under the jurisdiction of the federal trade commission, as similar corpora tions still are, but the last congress, for some reason, amended the law to transfer the jurisdiction over the irl- dustry to the department of agricul- ture. Many thought at the time that the change was a grave mistake, placing, as it did, the supervision un- der a purely political authority. The trade commission is ostensibly a com mission of men chosen for their ex- perience or knowledge of general trade conditions. It is logical to as- sume that it would develop a policy of supervision of corporations that, would be equitable. The further fact that the commissions authority has been successfully tested is significant.
 With the packers under one author ity and other corporations under different authority, there is likely to arise such inequalities of treatment as would result in discrimination one way or the other. While the courts are deciding upon the legal right of the secretary of agriculture to compel the desired inspection, it will be well for congress to review the entire leg islation with a view to harmonizing the situation and to giving unques- toned authority to the proper fed eral agency. If the responsibility is to be retained with the department of agriculture, that department should be given explicit legal right to demand records when the public welfare de- mands such action. But it would ap- pear far better to transfer the respon- sibility back to the federal trade conn mission. The department of agricul- ture would still have the right and the duty to appeal to the commission for relief from any illegal or unfair prac- tices or the part of the packers.

ESCAPING THE LICENSE

Despite notices with threats of ar rest sent out by the Jefferson county probate office to several thousands ot automobile owners who have not bought their licenses for 1924 under the law which went into effect NO vember 15, it is reported that there are still thousands of automobiles in the county for which licenses have not been obtained. These licenses aver age about eighteen dollars, while the penalties average about $4.2o, or per haps $42,00O altogether. There IS no excuse for ignoring the law, which is plain. Thousands of automobile owners complied with it before they became delinquent. In justice to those who have performed their duty, and in fairness to the state and county, de.in- quents should be required to meet this obligation without further delay.

EXPRESSION GOVERNS SPEECH

After long tests Chicago psycholo- Gist finds that the expression of one's face governs the tenor of ones speech; that one may not say angry things with smile, nor speak gently with the lips drawn mp in snarl; that gloomy expression forbids cheery con ycrsation, and that one with beaming countenance cannot utter a rebuff; that any emotion can be felt or curbcd by changing the expression to suit. Thus, when we see some one with eyes in fine frenzy rolling, we shall know that he is cranking up his emotions to fit his expression. and that soon suitable words will assemble themselves and burst forth into speech to harmonize with that frenzy. A soulful expression begets poetry, and a poker face breeds caution. The mirror thus becomes an indispensable part of every mans equipment. Before he discusses an important business 1eal
 te must needs glance ja his wrist

mirror to make sure he is wearing tie appropriate mask of inscrutability. If his face is set in guileless lines he will know at once that his speech will betray him. When he goes home late at night, before 1shering himself into his wife's presence, how like friend will he look upon that mirror to al just his lineaments into a repose, ln- nocent and childlike and bland, to suit the excuse he is about rc offer, even though it be the truth! It is well indeed that we may thus forearm our selves-only, if our faces tell the story, shall we not continue to give ourselves away before we know it?
