It begins to look as if thirty cents

According to the Manufacturers’

these mills are using §ixty per cent

■Dixie is finally coming into her own.
Columbus, through her newspapers,
is demanding port rates. Well, when
Columbus makes the proper use of
the Chattahoochee —and it can be
done —she will have no trouble in se
curing port rates. Until she does this,
it is quite impossible to secure them.
Judge W. H. Barrett is right about

! LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS
Though the words stick in their
throats, Administration leaders are
coming to talk in terms of world-wide
co-working instead of piovinciu’
aloofness. Secretary Hughes announ
ces that he can “see no ham” in
America’s participating in the Inter
national Court of Justice.
See no harm! the acknowledgment,
timid as it is, will send shivery down
the'spines of the isolationists. Those
whose conception of national great
ness and valor is to dwell behiad Chi
nese walls, and whose ideal for hu
mankind is to have a little helpful
ness, along with as much selfishness,
as churlish tempers can product, these
will be dumbfounded that their erst
while comforters 'n the high places
of Republicanism are falling away.
But liberal minds will smile at the
fearsomeness with which the Svcro
tary pronounces the most self-evident
truth of the political times, says the
Atlanta Journal.
He might well have said tha- he
saw tremendous harm in America’s
staying out of the International
Court of Justice. Not to uphold well
considered means for the orderly and
peaceful settlement of differences be
tween nations is traitorous to the best
in our own history, and to the best in
the thought of the world today. To
look indifferently 'on, while govern
ments and peoples are trying with ut
most earnestness to safeguard the fu
ture aganist war, is to become largely
responsible for war if it befalls. In
to just this unenviable posture has
narrow thinking, partly wtihout hut
chiefly within the Republican party,
drawn the United States.
The idea of an international court
is distinctly American. Always be
lieving in arbitration, this country has
happily adjusted, hyt that means,
scores of its ewn disputes with oth
ers, and has urged, until these last
few inglorious years, expansion of the
arbitration principle in world contro
versies. Yet, the. present Interna
tional Court of Justice, because it was
constituted under the League of Na
tions, has been treated by those now
conducting our Government as if it
were anathema. Bel .tedly and apol
ogetically the Secretary of State re
marks that he can ‘‘see no harm” in
the United States becoming identified
with that great tribunal!
Feeble as the confession is, let us
be grateful that it has begun and hope
for its continuance. It is not to be
expected that those who have pro
duced so sorry a muddle in America’s
foreign policies since 1920 will make
a clean breast forthwith. Time will
come when their course will he look
ed back upon with humiliation; but
just now they must go slowly toward
repentance, if they go at all. The re
sults of the recent election, filled as
they were with warning to reaction
aries of all types, have not been with
out wholesome effect upon th" powers
that be. Light begins to shine into
the darkness, and some minds of the
Administration begin to comprehend.
Secretary Hughes begins to see, albe
it he does not see far.
WE SHOULD UTILIZE OUR
RIVERS.
i
What a great pity it is that the |
proper effort has never been made to
utilize the splendid rivers tributary
to Brunswick and what a boon it will
be to this city and to the splendid
territory surrounding it, when the Oc
mulgee is made navigable and is
used!
Of course efforts of a fragmentary
nature have time and time again been
made to operate boat lines from Ma
con to Brunswick, but the matter has
never caught the attention of the
men who are really interested in this
vast transportation idea.
The time must come, however, when
the business expansion of the coun
try will force congress to take the
necessary steps to put into commis
sion not only the Ocmulgee river, but
the other systems that are now idle,
when they ought to he providing out
lets for inland commodities.
On this subject the Mobile Register
of a few days ago carried the follow
ing interesting refreence:
“There has been of late a growing
recognition of the importance of/river
transportation and Southern outlets
for inland commodities. The present
congestion on the railways of the
East is turning the attention of in
land shippers directly and with new
mephasis to the availability and ac
cessibility of the river routes for com
merce seeking tidewater. The rail
ways of hte great producing areas
have had no heavier handicap than
their own inability to move without
delay all the freight requiring to he
moved. Greater use of river trans
port would relieve the railways to a
large extent of this handicap, and he
a boon to the shippers, who would no
longer be at a disadvantage because
of slow air deliveries arid delays in
transit, due to clogged traffic chan
nels. A more nearly equal dviision
of, business between rail and river
would materially aid in bringing the
carriers out of seasonal and unseas
onable blockades that hinder com
‘merce and impede progress. This be
lief is spreading among shippers. Ik
is taking definite form in the increas
ing volume of traffic on the Mississip
pi and even the Warrior, with its
smaller territory to drow from. There
is opportunity in the present railway
situation to prove in a l&rge way the
usefulness of these waterways in the
movement of products from the areas
they reach.
“This opportunity extends, howev
er, beyond the present emergency in
railway transport. In addition to at
tracting all the traffic possible to the
rivers during this period of rail con
gestion, effort should be directed to
establishing the' thought of river
transportation firmly in the minds of
shippers. Once this thought is estab
lished, the inland waterways will be
gin to bear thier full share of the na
tion’s commerce. There is enough
transportation business for both rail
way nad river lines, and there will be
advantage for both, and for the ship
pers, as soou as a more equal division
of business is made between the two
systems.”
PLOT AGAINST CONSTITUTION
Alarmists are everywhere and it is
nine times out of ten the best plan
| to forget the stories of plots to un
dermine the constitution of the Unit
ed States. Nowhere is there any de
fense of the partisan who protests so
wildly when some amendment or
clause of the constitution is discussed
—the constitution is a human made
article and subject to the errors that
men are continually making, and was
originally intended to be changed
when the people of the country de
sired " changes. That an amendment
has been made does not render the
provision immune from criticism or
attack. If the country should decide
| to change and rescind an amendment
made a hundred years ago or yester
day there is nothing un-American
about the proposition.
But there is a movement under way
—without having yet attained great
attention, to uproot and destroy the
constitution. Propaganda is being
subtly spread to gain favor for a plan
that would reverse the system of su
i preme court review and give congress
the power, with a simple majority, tfo
override any decision by the judicial
body. Destroying the powers of the
supreme court would mean the des
truction of the constitution, for the
supreme court is now the final judge
of constitutional authority and with
its power gone the constitution would
amount to little more than a declar
ation of principles which need not be !
considered by congress.
Referring to the underground meth- j
ods being employed by propagandists ,
to further this attack upon the fun- j
damentals of government the New j
York Journal of Commerce recently;
said:
There can be no better illustra
tion of such a danger than the
current attempt to change by
amendment the United States
Constitution so that the supreme
court shall he deprived of judi
cila review of congressional leg
islation. In other words, con
gress ir io be given the power to
pass any act over an adverse de
cision of the court by a mere
two-thirds majority at most or,
according to the views of others,
by a mere majority vote. This
change goes to the bottom of the
theories upon wheih our govern
ment was formed—that we must
be a self-restrained democracy,
with constitutional provisions to
restrict our citizens from acting
too much in a hurry. While there
is nothing on earth that can pre
vent our people putting any con
ceivable sort of a provision in
the Constitution, yet they must
take enough time in order that
they may be entirely aware of
just what they are doing. Their
osvereign power is not restrained
except by their own self-imposed
methods of procedure. All this
would be swept away by the pro
posed changes. It has been found
by interests in this country that
certain kinds of propaganda and
pressure, judiciously and cleverly
imposed upon weak and pliant
congressmen, will produce the
“results” desired. For the most
part, the restraining influence of
our courts has prevented these
“results” from being completely
subversive of our legal and eco
nomic institutions, therefore the
thing to do is to deprive the
courts of their power. That these
interests, mainly those of radical
labor whose policies are anything
but those of the traditional Amer
ican type, are actively in process
of working through their own sel
gsh schemes is shown by the fact
that there are fifty-three nomi
nees for the house of representa
tives at the election on November

Appealing to the ignorant and the vi
cious the scheme to destroy the power
of our courts is applauded as tending
to communism. Every healthy mind
wopld at once throw off the poison in
the radical plan proposed, but it is
well to bring the insidious effort into
the light that it may be generally
condemned. A movement such as this
should Vot be looked upon calmly; it

and decried as outrageous and impos

If Brunswick ever hopes to accom

great seaport city, enjoying the com

then she should have the bigest and

that condition and it lias been success
