FIRST FREE PORT

 on North American soil, New Orleans
 4 having occupied prominent place in many such discussions, but for one reason or another the various movements have come to nausht, until now Mexico forges to the front with the first actual operating free port on the continent. This American experiment in a commercial and industrial system that has had. excellent results in other parts of the world is at Salina Cruz, at the southern, and therefore Pacific, end of the Tehuantepec interoceanic railway, the port in fact of Te- huantepec, ancient capital of that Mexican region.
 The free port was inaughfated July 20 by Leopold Vasquez, high official of the Mex iean finance department, who on this Oeca- sion represented President Obregon. The free area covers about gro acres and it's gen. eral manager, in ain address delivered during the. inauguration ceremonies, said the under taking offered free land. no taxes, an mex

WILSONIANPRINCIPLESINTENNESSEE

I. Two exceilent gentlemen are opposing Mfr. Shields. One left the supreme bench to be- come a candidate. The other is successful business man. In his youth he was icacke. and twice in his career 1t came to pass that he served as soldier. In the Epanisll-Amcr ican War he was the colonel of regiment. In the World War he was a general command ing troops who were mainly recruited from Tennessee His record is such that Tennez- scans may be proud of and is also such that the fathers and mothers of the boys whom he led are grateful to him, and the fathers and the mothers of the dead sorrow with him because his own boy loet his fife in the great struggle.
 From the information we have at hand. coming from every county in west Tehhes- see and from many counties in east and mid dIe Tennessee we see drift towards Tyson. We. are led to believe that concentration of those who stand for the ideals of Woodrow Wilson in support of Tyson, would the more certainly secure a victory for those, ideala than in casting vote elsewhere.

 N. r., secured the signature of James 4 Madison, president, to the declafation same document and secured the signature of every succeeding president thereto, down to and including Andrew Johnson, with the ex- eeption of Henry Harrison, who died before Mfr Delavan had an opportunity to present him with the paper, which follows:
 Being satisfied from observation and ex- perience, as well as from medical testimony that ardent spirits, as a drink, are not only needless but harmful; and that the entire disuse of it would tend to promote the health, the virtue and the happiness of the com munity, we hereby express our convictions, that should the citizens of the United States and especially all young men,, discontinue the use of it they would not only promote their own personal benefit but the good of the country and the world.'

raises a most serious question as to his fit- ness for the duties of his high office in, that he can arrive at an opinion, satisfactory to himself and based presumably on newspaper accounts. in a case that a fellow judge is trying to determine, and worse still, can pub- hcly announce this opinion.
 In these hectic days of national purlhIind- ness ip matters of justice, of marked disre- spect for law, of quaking foundations in moral and social life, of decay of parental authority in these days of surrender to in- experienced and unbridled youth. of almost national abandon to the superficial things. of fe-in these days fraught with terrible pos abilities, is it possible to measure the far reaching and disastfOus effect on national respect for courts if one judge, internationally known, can. decide, and announce publicly his decision, in regard to. a case being heard by another judge, case in which twos con tinents are perhaps interested on. account of its unusually atrocious criminal aspects3
 And yet. Mfr. Editor, we wonder why things are so topsyNturvy and why we have no greater respect for the majesty of our laws and the dignity of our courts Quo Vadimua? ?

 tErom The Louisville Courier.JournaI) w9 HERE is no doubt that more Demo
 crats in Tennessee are opposed to the ~ reelection of Senator Shields than are for him. Senator Shields may explain bis po- sition as to the League of Nations, he may set foyth his reasons as to why he opposed the Versailles treaty, he may discuss his res eryatidhs, and explain them to his own sat isfaction. but the main point is that Senator Shields was not in line with President Will son from the day of the arrnistice until the president went out of office.
 He did not support the treaty as it was first submitted by the president and he did not suppott the treaty when it was submitted the second time.
 The Wilson ideals are not in the musty books of the past. They are not dead things, written in a dead language. They live as the spirit of Wilson lives, and some day for the salvation of this republic the ideals of Will son, his preaehments and his doctrines must become part of the soul of the living govern ment.

 Yet the Bankhead highway is not alone important as connecting important cities such as Hefin, Admission, Oxford, Talla- dega, Pell City, Leeds, Birmingham, Pratt City, Cordova, Jasper, Carbon Hill, Win field, Sulligent, and many important in tervening points, but it is also a national highway, properly named after a man who fathered the federal highway act under which Alabama now receives so many millions for building roads. That man was the late Senator John Fl. Bank head, whose name is thus in his own state of Alabama permitted to adorn the very opposite of that sort of highway he so earnestly advoeated, and for which he did so much to lay the groundwork.
 Although the state highway engineer gives himself two yeafy to build hum dred or two miles of trunk highway, the people of Alabama know that in other states the construction has proceeded much more expeditiously, that the high ways are maintained in far better con- dition, and that the people of pOpulous centers and the people of rural commu- mites do not have to wait forever on the leisurely incompetency of politicians in order to have traveable roads, such as the people of Alabama authorized in the amendment. Why talk of build ing highway the length of the state, when the highway department has been two years attempting to build high way across one little county-and has so far failed even to do that?

sey, if he was correctly quoted, to be guilty of the most remarkable breach of judicial propriety that has ever come under the writer's observation. And this is all the more lamentable on account of Judge Lind sey's national reputation for service to his fellOwman and the enormous influence that he probably yields. s,
 Let us get the facts quite clear. A shocking crime was committed in Chicago. It became Judge Caverlq's duty to hear the case, to try the case, and to fix the penalty. While Judge Caverly is holding court daily, deciding what evidence may or may not be admitted and presumably devoting himself whole -heartedly in an effort to do the right thing, Judge Lind sey, a felloH judge breaks out in the news papers and, after course of reasoning, pub fishes his conclusion, if he was correctly quoted, that 1t would be criminal to hang the accused boys now before the bar of Judge Caverly To the lay mind of the writer, this pronouncement on the part of Judge Lindsey seems the most inexcusable breach of eli quette that has ever come to his notice. But it is far more than that. It is almost diff. cult to express ones indignation over such a performance as Judge Lindsey's with that temperateness of language that is becoming in all men. It would be of little consequence as an excuse for Judge Lindsey to claim that
  opinion in regard to a case in another judges court and not carry herewith much of tho weight and much of the responsibility that the public has heretofore accorded the Opin- ions of Judge Ben B. Lindsey the official Theoretically he may have the right to ex, press his opinion of the case practically he cannot escape the awful responsibility that attaches in the mind of the public to the opinion of an experienced judge.
 Did the citizen Ben B. Lindsey realize that possibly millions of infants. technically speaking. just under twenty-one years of age would read with some degree of complacenct the opinion of Judge Ben B. Lindsey that these boys should be accounted less responsi ble in the eyes of the law and that it would be a crime to hang them? If the citizen Ben B. Lindsey realized this, we submit that Judge Ben B, Lindsey suffers from pur- blindness in regard to his responsibilities that

REspoNsIBILITY Is EQUAL

Commissioner Harrison's direct effort to sidestep equal responsibility for the lamentable mismanagement of the pub lie funds finds neither sympathy nor credence in the public mind. If the shortages were a new thing and there had elapsed no passage of weeks and months and even a year since the first intimations of inefficiency leaked out, then the other commissioners might with some justice claim a degree of unac- countability for what had already oc- cured. But the moment such shortages were detected the responsibility at once shifted to the entire commission. The hints of irregularities have been going on for months. The commission as whole has not until very lately taken any ac- ton at all adequate, or contemplative of thorough investigation. For that fail ure Commissioner Harrison shares equal censure with his four associates.
 Mir. Harrison makes the mistake rather common at the city hall of referring to his public utterances as public acts. The public is not at all impressed by what a public official says, unless he has behind those utterances a record of achievement that makes them valid. Public acts are to public utterances what gold in the bank is to the banks notes. Unless there is a gold reserve of public achievements, pub lie utterances of public officials have the same value as German marks. It makes no difference how many times MT. Harri- son may have urged that the finances be looked into and reformed, the failure of the commission to bring about such re- form is not a responsibility which any commissioner may at will shift to the shoulders of the other four, or to the shoulders of the commissioner nominally in charge of the department concerned.
 Mir. Harrison invites a glance at his record. The public glances at and even sharply scrutinizes that record without finding it better or worse than the rec ords of his colleagues. There could scarcely be a more uniform dead level of official desert than that stretching back over the trail of the present admin istration of Birmingham's affairs. Mir
 Harrison has sought to make personal merit out of a>situation which Is barren of credit. Even those things that have been done have been done in spite of the
