PRAISING A FREE PRESS

In its recent decision throwing aside
the Louisiana law which attempted to tax
the gross revenue of newspapers having a
weekly circulation of more than 10000,
the U. S. Supreme Court signs the praises
of a free press
So valuable is an unrestrained inter
probation of public events that the Court
unanimously holds that tax which tends
to curtail revenue from newspapers and to
restrict circulation, restraints the press and
is unconstitutional.
- The first amendment to the Constitu-
ton provides that Congress shall make no
law abridging the freedom of speech or of
the press and that precludes the Federal
Government from doing so. The four.
teenth amendment, adopted in 1868, pro-
vides that no State should deprive any
person of life, liberty, or property without
due process of law, which the Court in
terprets as forbidding the States to re-
strict rights which Congress itself may not
violate
The Supreme Court, in the words of
Justice Sutherland, who wrote the opin-
ion. called the Louisiana law "a deliberate
and calculated device in the guise of tax
TO limit the circulation of information to
whic, the public is entitled by virtue of its
constitutional guarantees

Hippocrate:, the Greek physician of
the fouth century B.. c.. called 1.-The Father
of Medicine" Will ever remain the type of
the perfect physician. Learned, observ-
ant, humare, with profound reverence
for the claims of his patients, but with an
overmastering desire that his experience
shall benefit others, orderly and CAIN,
anxious only to record his knowledge for
the use of his fellow-physicianS. and for
the relief of suffering, grave, thoughtful
and reticent, pure of mind ard master of
his passions, such is the picture we possess
of the first great physician.

A LOOK AT THE WORLD

Once in while it is probably profit
able to run over briefly the events and oc-
currences in foreign countries. With this
in mind, let's take look at what seems to
be going on in the world.
Europe finds peace threatened and
military machines growing by leaps and
bounds. The British contemplate an inn
mense defense program which will very
probably include modernized navy and
tremendous expansion in the air.
Germany, beginning the fourth NaZi
year, hears Herr Hitler predict one hun
dred per cent unity within one hundred
years and, meanwhile, presses on to the
creation of an army with an eye to the
East.
France, where premiereS and cabinets
fall regularly, continues to fear re-armed
Germany and, apparently, links herself
with Great Britain on the Western front
and Russia on the East. Reluctantly sup
porting the League against Italy, France
evidently concludes that, if necessary,
Mussolini must be abandoned for British
favor
Italy, almost isolated among nations,
faces long campaign against Ethiopia,
where the going has been rough and the
reward, so far, insignificant. Mussolini
a man of undoubted force, is seemingly
ready to go down fighting the world rather
than surrender his colonial ambitions.
In Russia, the Soviet celebrates
records of production while, at the same
time, equipping and welding the worlds
largest standing army. Bolshevist lead
ers, cooperating with the League, have
used their influence for peace, but, at the
same time proclaim to the world that
Germany and Japan have an agreement to
attack her simultaneously in the East and
West.
The lesser countries of Europe to the
North seem to be standing aloof from the
mad scramble to arms but the Balkan area
continues powder magazine although
the nations there have apparently accepted
status quo for the present
Turkey, through the compulsory &C
ceptance of modern ways, is making great
progress towards securing recognition as
a factor in the Near Eastern scheme and is
apparently devoting her energies to do
mestic reorganization although ready to
join in Mediterranean fight if there is
the prospect of gains for the nation.
Skipping over the balance of Asia,
we come to the Japanese Empire which is
advancing its claims in the Far East and
slowly welding an empire through ag
greSsive action toward China. Moreover
apparently intent upon a lone hand in
world affairs the Japanese rulers seem
assured that, in time, the Empire will be
able to effectively check other nations in
the Far East even if this means war and
the assas. nation of Japan's leaders for
peace yesterday by the hot heads who
clamOr for war may soon realize it's de-
sires.
News of other foreign areas, includ-
ing most of Africa, South America and
lesser places, has been remarkably scarce
in the press since the Chaco war in South
America lost front-page space.

WAREHOUSES; ARE
NEARLY COMPLETE
New Banner and High Price
Addition To Be Ready
for Opening

Enlarged facilities for Henderson
warehouses for the coming season
have about been completed, and will
be finished and ready for use well in
advance of the opening of the selling
season on Tuesday, September %, it
was revealed today. The market this
year will have the greatest warehouse
floor space in its history.
One brand new warehouse is about
complete. 1t is the Banner Ware
house, located on Zene street, and
running through the block to College
street. 1t is the third warehouse on
the eastern side of the railroad, which
divides the city geographically 1t is
to tie one of the largest houses in this
section, and will have a floor space
close to $4,000 square feet. 1t has been

ed by the firm of Young and Daniel.
Additions to the High Price Ware
house will be a third to a half of the
former floor space, and will be suf-
ficient to permit of the division of
the structure into two houses, Nos.
and 2.
Warehousemen are making prepara-
tiOnS for the start of the selling sea-
son, and everything will be in read
mess here for the opening. Curing is
in progress all over the county, and

TOBACCO PRICE ON
BORDER PLEASING
Sustained High Averages
lmpart Fresh Encourage
ment Locally

High prices that prevailed on the
opening of the border belt tobacco
markets today in North and South
Carolina cities added fresh encourage
ment to local interests in the hope or
much better prices than prevailed
last season. Early reports from the
belt indicated the days initial sales
would run at ABOUT 25 cents per pound
No figures are available to indicate
the belt average on last years open
ing day sales, but the opening day av-
GRACE in Henderson last year was
$17.62 per hundred pounds. So far as
could be recalled here. that was fully
as high as the border belt opening, If
not somewhat better.
A number of Henderson warehouse
men and nearly all local buyers are
at various markets in the border belt
There were visitors from here who
went to view the opening on various
markets. The buyers and the wore
housemcn from here will remain until
the time for the start of the season
in the Middle Belt on Tuesday, Sep
tember %, little more than five
weeks off
Tobacco men have estimated that
Henderson prices this year will be
from % to 80 percent higher than last
season. when the markets average
was approximately 81 cents. This
years average is expected to be 25 to
80 cents per pound for the entire sell
ing season.
Business in general is looking for
healthy increase as the result of the
tobacco outlook.
