GEORGIA AND STATE PORT

lof goods, of property of any kind, es-
pecially on a large scale as between
peoples rather than trade as between
individuals, and is, therefore, great
commercial question.
1t is an economic and commercial
matter. Amongst the biggest of big
business. Necessarily involved is "the
struggle of states and cities for trade"
A warfare as ruthless, as fierce and as
Immoral as the Worlds War, for
commerce is ceaseless war without any
larmistice"
Paternalistic? OF course, but no
more so than the Erie Canal, the Pan
anna canal, the American Merchant
Marine, public health, public education,
our present plan of highway construc-
ton.
People Have Right
when and where private capital is
for any cause unavailable to create a
public facility or utility, the people
undoubtedly have the right to expend
their money to create and operate
them" What is the great cause in the
instance of the state port project pre-
venting private capital from undertake
ing such development? The public pol
icy of the federal government itself.

at is hereby declared to be the pol
icy of the congress that water termi-
nails are essential at all cities and towns
located upon harbors of navigable
waterways and that at least one pub
lie terminal should exist, constructed
owned and regulated by the munich
pality, or other public agency of the
state and open to the use of all on equal
terms, and with the view of carrying
out this policy to the fullest possible
extent the secretary of war is hereby
vested with the discretion to withhold
unless the public interests would ser
ously suffer by delay, monies APP
propriated in this act for new projects
adopted herein, or for the further i'm
provement of existing projects, if, III
his opinion is adequate for the traffic
and open to all on equal terms, or un-
less satisfactory assurances are receiv-
ed that local or other interests will
provide such adequate terminal or ter
minals. The secretary Of war, through
the chief of engineers shah have full
publicity. as far as may be practicable

Back in 1884, when Gloucester.
Mass, had a composite population
as it has to-day of fishermen, glue
and Irvine manufacturers and fol-
lowers of the sea there was born
in their midst one Harry Allen.
His father and grandfather had
been fishermen, his mother and
grandmother makers of sails. His
father was drowned the day he was
born, his mother died giving him
life. An illiterate aunt and her dis
solute husband attempted to raise
him. He was sent to a Kinder
garden when seven and ran away
when he was ten. When eleven he
was, cabin hoy on a coastwise
sailing vessel. The hardships of
those days beggar description

thirty-two he moved to Boston, %
miles distant, and opened a depart

known as Harry Allen & Co. When
he was forty he sold the store for

friends that the first forty years

he intended to make the next forty
years a heaven.
He is now enjoying the fruits Of
his labors.

LAND OF FLYING ANIMALS
Has No Less Than Twenty Species
That Are Aviators

In Australia there are at least ~
species of animals that are aviators
Among them are flying squirrels, fly
ing o'possums, flying mice and even
flving bears. The name which applies
to them all is "phalanger." This means
that they have, extending from the
front to the hind legs, a membrane
which enables them to float in quite
graceful way from tree to tree. They
are not really flying animals, but
gliders.
The flying squirrel is said to be the
most beautiful mammal in the worlo
It is odd that in the land where many
animals fly, birds often can not ny at

In the death Of Mr. Frederick Jackson,
one of the landmarks of St. Croix has
been swept away. A landmark so sure
and accurate that he was often quoted as
an auth ,rity on the subjects familiar TO
him.
Jackson was a patriotic citizen. When
Johnson wrote "Patr .otisn is the last
refuge of a s~coundrel", he, perhaps, had
in mind the man Who let US say, having
tried politics and failed; tried religion
and failed, resorted to patriotism as the
last refuge. Such a man Johnson calls
a scoundrel and justly so. Not so Jack
son. Time and again | have spoken with
men who knew Mr.. Frederick Jackson
from his childhood AID | have been told
that PATRIOTS n with him was a life. AS
a boy | have always admired his civic
spirit as shown in his every day life.
