JUSTICE NOT ALWAYS
BLIND

Several gentlemen about four
years ago were convicted of con-
spring to keep the price of fish at
high levels, and after appealing
through all the courts their %convic-
lions are now confirmed. They
must spend from five to ten months
''making little ones out of big ones"
AID massaging the rock piles of
penal institutions in the Cod Fish
State.
This is good news for those cynics
who are always proclaiming from
the house tops that justice can not
be obtained in American courts
when the defendant is a man of
wealth. All of the fourteen whose
convictions have been sustained ap-
pear to be men of prominence and
business standing in their commu-
nifty. Their money only enabled
them to postpone, not to evade, the
clutches of the law. Please copy
that down, Organizers and Disturb
.ers who make your appeal on the
failure of American law. 1t is not
the only instance, by a long way,
but it is an excellent one.
The convictions of the Massachu-
sets Fish monger'' also shows that
there is plenty of law in this land
to punish the profiteers and the
high-binders who jack up the price
of necessities beyond reasonable
limits. More law against such men
is being asked almost daily of the
legislatures of the different states,
sets was able to find law enough,
and of Congress. But Massachu-
with teeth enough. already at hand,
and that is what the prosecuting Of
ficers Of almost all of the states
can find IL they will only look
around.
There Is no lack of law on this
score. What is generally lacking is
the disposition and capacity to en-
force it.

RUSSIAN TREASON

A correspondent of of the
great eastern dailies, just escaped
from Russia, tells at first hand Of
the trials and convictions of Polish
prelates at Moscow. He say them
all, and he knows. What he has to
tell will silence once and for all any
lingering sympathy which may be
manifested by sentimentalist sisters
and half-baked parlor Bolsheviki
for the so dear soviets.
As was pointed out in these col
umns last week, treason" is a very
elastic word in Russia. The Tri-
bune insisted at the time that the
offenses Of the Polish bishops were
likely to prove trivial. 1t now de-
velops definitely that the reason
Archbishop Zeplink and his asso'
ciates we're imprisoned for many
years; the reason Mgr. Buch-
avitch was murdered in the name Of
justice, was that they taught the
catechism to persons under Is
years of age, and said mas
This, then, was their treason"
It is against Bolshevik law TO i'm
part any religion to a person under
10 years old. And for holding to
the tenants of their faith for
standing in magnificent martyrdom,
like the Christians of old in the
Flavian amphitheater, refusing to
repudiate their God, these men were
slaughtered and sent to living
deaths in the foul pest holes Of the
soviet prisons.
The stencil that is Red Russia
arises in the n~ostrils Of the civil
lied world, and the immortal words
Of Madame Roland, on tho French
g~uillotine hssail all Christian ears
"Oh Libertyl LIBERTY how many
crimes are committed in thy name"

UsIEAUBD
oRREGoN IS o

In a signed article obtained by
Robert f. Rowley, correspondent OF
tho North American Newspaper AL
lance and a newspaperman and
publisher well known in Michigan
President Alvardo Oregon af Mex
leo issues a bombastic bit of rhetor'
ic in which he says, in effect, that
the sovereignty and dignity Of Mex
leo will be maintained at all costs,
and that "foreign" capital must
yield and make itself amenable to
Mexican laws. Obregon also de-
MES that Bolshevism is rampant in
Mexico.
Now all this is interesting but
not very conclusive to even the
most casual student of Mexican af-
fairs in the United States. The
best place to be a student of Mex
lean affairs is in the United States
and much the safest place. Pres
ident 0bregon has shown n more
Intelligent attitude toward America
than many of his murdered and
sainted predecessors; but his esti-
mates of the orderliness and fair
ness of his country are quite apt
70 be slightly tinged with a pride in
his own achievements.
The Tribune published a few
days ago in these columns a report
Of conditions in Mexico as seen by
an astute and unprejudiced OBJ
server. Many other sources are
available to prove that Oregon is
wrong IN his calculations. 1t is
more than likely that, with Mexico's
bad transportation facilities, Presi-
dent Obregon does not know him
self what is going on half of the
time in the northern provinces. But
that certain states are continuously
ma state of uproar, or under the
government those with Bolshevik
tendencies. there is little doubt.
As to laws, Mexicans have writ.
ten so many statutes inimical and
and even confiscatory to foreign
ers" that these game foreigners are
not over-apt to give Mexico enough
financial attention to worry the
good President to any great extent.

League of Nations issue was a
trivial thing in the influences that
swept President Harding into Of
flee. The great and solemn ref
erendum" was, as a matter Of fact,
no referendum at all. The IMAM
date of the American people, ex-
pressed so overwhelmingly at the
polls (again to quote from the
phrase-makers who oppose the
League), was in reality no mandate
at all. All this Is pure political
''hokum"; nothing more.
If the Republican party had in
serted in the 1920 platform a plank
binding it to form an offensive and
defensive alliance with Hindustan,
and to espouse the noble causes of
the Turks, Algerians, and Iceland
ers, the Republican party would
have won overwhelmingly just the
same. That would have been no
great and solemn referendum" IN
favor of Hindustan, Turkey, Al
geria, or Iceland. II the Republic
ans had made it a pre-campaign
promise to build a navy for Sw1tzer-
land and operate it at Lake Lucerne
at American expense, the election
result would have been the same.
We would have had a great and
solemn referendum" which would
have proved conclusively that
Americans favored building Switzer-
land a nice navy, and turning 1t
over to them, gratis.
The war, of course, was not the
only influence that accounted for
the Republican landslide. Not by
a long way. But it was probably
the biggest. And to go on r%anting
about what American wishes are"
as expressed in election terms on
the League of Nations issue, is ut
terly absurd.
The oBston Evening Transcript
in opposing the League, ought at
least to have the good judgment to
voice an argument not so patiently
fallacious. There are many good OBJ
jections to such an alliance. Does
the Transcript pick out the only one
that is completely fatuous because
all the others have been worn
threadbare?

"GREAT AND SOLUMN


Too much we hear, read and see
during discussion of the League of
Nations and Americas traditional
foreign policy of what editorial
writer's and Republicans politicians
gro apt to term "the great and SOL
emn referendum of 1920" The
Boston Transcript, a very erudite
paper, but particularly embedded in
the n~ristocratic mental rut engen-
dered by eating Sacred Goldfish and
Baked Beans-particularly clannish,
almost ''insular' in the accepted
sense Of the term as applied to Eng
land-makes this common mistake.
The Tribune does not undertake
TO say that we should ally ourselves
with all the %quarrelsome powers Of
Europe although if such an alliance
does not compel US to participate in
their pleasant little wars, as Lord
Robert Cecil insists it does not, this
might not be a bad idea But
whether we are for or against the
League of Nations, the business of
quoting the Great and solemn ref
erendum of 1920" as a clinching ar
gument to prove the sentiment of
the American people on the subject
ID pure balderdash.
1.-THE great and solemn referen-
dun" was about as great as q toy
balloon and just about as solemn as
a custard pie movie. The only
thing great or solemn about it Is
the faith which %congenital EDITORIAL
writer's and other foes Of the League
seem to place in it. No issue could
have been injected into the 1920
campaign which would have affect
ed its result. It was a foreRone
conclusion at the very outset. Well
informed Democrats though they
did not admit defeat ~publicalyi
knew that it was coming.
It is the history of politics in this
country-and in most countries
that no party which is in power dur
in a great war survives that war
very long. The Spanish-American
tilt is an exception which proves
the rule; but the war of 1898 could
not by the widest stretch Of the
imagination be classed, abstractly,
as a great war. And in that IL vas
a victorious war for American
easy victory with comparatively 1t
tie cost in men or money-the anal
ogy does not hold. Further, Nc
Kinley was shot before his term ex-
pired, and Roosevelt succeeded him
automatically. Roosevelt was prop
erly returned to the White House
by his countrymen because he was
a great president-and he still ranks
as one Of our greatest. He was
also a great vote-getteri a dominant
man very likely to win an election
at any time.
But usually a new foot IS IN the
stirrup; a new leader and a new
party mounts to the saddle after
any great national cataclysm. The

THE SECRETARY oF LABOR

In greeting her distinguished visitor, Secretary of Labor James J. Davis, today, Birmingham feels as if she were ,uelcorino home one of her own sons, for Secretary Davis was once one of the busv crew turning out Birming- hams steel and iron. His present eml- nence is due not to chance but to ability. and his record in department too new for its functions to be un- changeably determined has been a con structive one. MT. Davis has re gently received much approving com ment for his research in behalf ct more efficient administration of the immigration problems. Particularly has he laid stress upon the necessity of wedding out at their home ports those who are palpably barred by our laws. The secretary believes that this is an obligation of our government, in order to prevent needless but in- evitable disappointment for those who spend their all to come over here only to find too late that they must return to their native lands. No administra- tion has given sufficient study to this vital question of immigration in all it's phases, and Secretary Davis has a particularly fertile field there for his enterprise and energy.
 The citizens of Birmingham are sure that the secretary will have something constructive to say to those whom he addresses today, and that the fine local situation will be all the better for his coming. This city is glad to have him as it's guest.

THE VALUE OF SILENCE

One of President Coolidge's most in- innate friends, who has long known and studied the chief executive, re- gently declared that the president has one of the wisest axioms man in pub lie life can cherish: "What I do not say can never hurt me-" Adhering closely to this principle, declared the presidents friend, accounts for tho impression many have is that he is ex- ceptionally taciturn and reserved, while as matter of fact he is not.
 It is true that the general impression of the president is along the line sug- gested. President Coolidge lets others do most of the talking, while he does the listening. This puts him in stronger position to know what the country de- sires as respects public policies, while enabling him to gather many points of advantage for his own purposes in reaching conclusions. Most public men talk too much. That is the reason many of them get into trouble sooner or later, and find it difficult even technically to wriggle out. MT. Cool idge is thinking man who knows that the greatest waste in this country, next to time, is language. The two sources of waste are closely associated. He knows that most public men live to re- gret some of their utterances because they cannot foresee events. The late President Roosevelt regretted the fate full words which came back to haunt him: "Under no circumstances will be a candidate for third term"
 Frequently few words can make or unmake hero. Commodore Dewey was ordered to sail from Hong Kong and capture or destroy the Spanish fleet at Manila. After the fleet was destroyed, and just before the cable was cut, Dewey reported modestly: q have executed my orders" How diff ferent from the pompous message from Admiral Sampson, following the battle of Santiago: q present the nation with Fourth of July present" Words are valuable capital when spoken at the right time and place under the proper circumstances. One of the strongest characteristics of the new president is that he seems to know when to talk, and how to spare his words so that they will not some day come back upon him and give no end of trouble. Would that public men generally could learn the lesson.

A Blg Tarpon catch

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 According to reports from Mir John B. Bethea of Birmingham and Mr. W. l.. Bryant of Bayou La Batre the waters around Bayou La Batre are full of tarpon and other large fish. To prove to you that their reports are true I will give you an account of their ex- perience and success with these immense fish, beginning on Au- gust 25 and lasting three days. The first day they succeeded in captur- ing a six foot seven inch tar pon. which Highed 125 pounds and was 33 Inches in girth. One can imagine the sport they had in landing this fish. The second day they captured another tarpon which was five feet ten inches and was also B inches in girtn. Still eager for more sport they went after them the third day, and they were not disappointed by any means, for they landed another tarpon which was four feet six inches in length. ( During the three days they also caught seven cravallas weighing from 25 to 40 pounds each. This, think. proves that Messrs. Bethea and Bryants statements are true, and if you don't believe there Is any sport in catching such fish as this, thy 1t yourselves. MAIZE SMITH.
