no MORE AMENDMENTS

Doubtless, except for educational

Of any sort, good or bad

will or viii not become a practical

the states.

of them, try to get advantages of
each other by lax child labor laws,

the right to pass uniform laws for
all.
Let the states act, now, or the ma

Japan announces a desire to see
eXtra-territorial rights abolished in
China at the earliest possible mo-
ment, but considers the effort now
premature.
So say we all of us. No nation
wishes to maintain its own courts
in a foreign country, and to assert
for its citizens there rights which
natives do not enjoy.
America polished eXtra-territori-
ality in Japan as soon, as it was as
sured that Japan had established
courts and a judicial system to which
free men used to institutions of
justice could properly resort.
The world will do the same for
China, and in it America, with OF
without Japan, should lead.
But only on the same conditions,

10000 Cars Peaches
In 1925

Central of Georgia Railway
officials were told in Macon last
week that Georgia would move
10000 cars Of peaches next
year. That indicates loss for
the orchardists, in the opinion
of growers here. Far better to
sell 1900 cars at a profit than
10000 at a loss.
The Brazilian farmer seldom
loses money on his coffee crop.
If there's a 10 per cent over
production, the government
steps in and compels the grow
ers 10 remove 10 per cent Of the
berries from the trees. When
the Brazilian farmer had too
many coffee plants, the govern
ment cut down a certain percent
age, thus reducing production
somewhat below a reasonable
estimate of consumption.
