ME. ROOT AT THE HAGUE It speiks well for the jurists’ conference al The Hague that it should have 80 speedily completed its labors and by unanimous voté approved the entire project of the High Court of In-n-zjy:;;z‘uma_l Justice says the New York World. It should be especially gratifving to Americans that to.a distinguished American—Elihu . Root—fell the leading .part in the work of tha conferénce. In view of his important serives the high praise accorded him at thee losing session by his assoclates was a fitting tribute. 5 At the meeting of the Council of the League of Nation of Feb. 11 an organizing committee of twelve of the most famous jurists in the world was appointed. Headed by Mr. Root, they represented the United States, Japan, Spain, Brazil, Belgium, ~Argentina, ltaly, France, Norway, Holland, Great Britian and Jugo-Slavia. In Article XIV. of the covenant of the League of Nations in. thé .treaty of peace with Germany ft.is provided: = . ! The Council shall formulate and submit to the members of the League for adoption plans for the establishment of a Permanent Court of Internation Justice. The court shall be ¢ mpetent to hear and determine any dispute of an international character which the parties thereto submit to it. . The court may also give an advisory opinion upon any dispute or. question referred to it by the Council and the Assembly.. 5 ' The project prepared by the jurists’ conference will go to the Council ‘of theL.eague and within a short time should be submitted to the Assembly for adoption. . L As the recognized autor of the project of the High Court of Internotiona) Justice and also of the plank of the Republican Party on the League of Natiorfs, it may seem difficult to reconcile Mr. Root's eminent services, first- at Chicago and ‘later -at Thé Hague.. No doubt he will be equal to the task, as he has been in s 0 many emergencies. It is a situation that requires clearing up if only for the relief of Republicans accustomed when in -difficulties to look to Mr. Root for guidance. As a reward for his' timely help -at Chicago, is his contribution at The Hague toward the upbuilding of the League iv be repudiated as’ un-American and intolerable? :

Francisea Villa , Mexican bandit chief, has surrendered and will devote his tilme to raising onions instead of hell acording to his claim. 3 . The Albion Democrat shows marked improvement under its new ownership. More attention to court house news would be appreciated by the readers. Also by the Baunner. - It will be a relief to the great body of Amercian readers when the yacht races are over and the details of the contests disappear from the metropolitan newspapers. o ‘ J. N. Zion, of Clark’s Hill, a small burg near Indianapolis, has been named for governor of Indiana by the farmer labor party. A ful state ticket will no doubt be put in the field. According to reports to State Superintendent Hines Indiana is short 1,076 teachers for her schools, both high and rural. This is a most serious problem which will have to be met. When the fact became firmly establish ed that people of the nortwest would suffer for coal next winter the coal minérs of Illinois and Indiana immediately went on strike. The miners evidently go on the theory that the time to strike the public is when the* public is down. Dt G

Senator Munton refutes the charge that the upper house of the general assembly was resonponsible for prolonging the special session. All appropriation bills have to originate in the lower house in compliance with the state constitution and the house members rushed a lot of bills through without any consideration, simply because they had been prepared at the behest of Gov. Goodrich. The senate had to revamp the measures and reconstruct some. The house simply “passed the buck” to the upper house, an old trick of those who would evade responsibility. Many meausures are voted for in'the house and then the cowardly memebrs rush over to the senate to urge defeat of the very bills they voted for. Senator Munton is right. The lower house is responsible

LONG-DRAWN-OUT ELOQUENCE Speeches That Occupy Day May Be Brilliant, but Are Apt to Be . Somewhat Tiresome. There was a commercial case of great magnitude the other day in England, In which it was expected that one at least of counsel would take eight days for his speech. With all respect for a learned professor, but im amicable. candor, it 18 hard not to commiserate any judge that may have to listen to a speech of this length. It may be made by the cleverest and most eloquent of men, but the fact is that by the eighth day, the facts and the tropes of the first are pretty well faded. The value of these long Bpeeches by counsel consists largely In the notes that the judge has taken, provided -he followed the argument, which is by no means always the case. We have, to be sure, the splendid performances at Warren Hastings’ im-. peachment, where we are assungd that ladies of the most exalted station swooned In sheer admiration and awful wonder at the genius displayed. S 0 be it; they swooned, though we have to point out that swooning at that period was a pretty. general accomplishment; nevertheless, it {s falir to say that Burke and Fox and Sheridan in point of fact were rather above the average counsel in eloguence, though Sergeant Saunders could have made any of the three “look foolish™ on his own ground.—Christian - Science Monitor, : : . 5 e e et ettt SUSPENDED PAYMENT IN CASH How British Government Saved the Situation When Country’s Financial ~ Solvency Was Threatened. ~ In the great war which England commenced with France in 1783, the first four years saw £400,000,000 added to the national debt, without any material advantage being gained. So much coln had left the country for the payment of troops abroad and as subsidies to allies that the bank, during 1796, began to feel a difficulty In satisfying demands made on it. At the close of the year people began to hoard coin and to make runs upon the county banks. These applied to the Bank of England for help, and the consequence was that a run upon it commenced in the latter part of February, 1797. This great establishment could only keep itself afloat by paying in sixpences. Immediate insolvency was ‘expected, when on February 26, the government stepped in with an order in council authorizing the notes of the bank as legal tender until such time as proper remedies could be applied. This suspension of cash payments was attended by the usual effect of raising the normal prices of all articles. o

Old Weights and Measures. “Stil-yards,” beams and all manner of weights and measures, as might be expected from their importance in the life and interchange of the populace, are frequently mentiened in old chronicles, and one quaint allusion reads, “this lying weight was by the Balance, the weight lying In one scale, and not hanging or sliding on the Beam of a Stil-yard, as in auncel weight.” But the “stil-yard” was also not beyond reproach, for Arnold, in 1500, tells how “this wayght is forbidden in England by statute of Parliament and also holy Church hath cursed in England all that beyen or sellen by that auncel wayght” However, in spite of chur¢h and law, the “aunccel wayght” continued in use till 1582, ten years after that one we have been considering began its long _career, whea the jury appointed by Elizabeth set up a new standard of weights and measures, which remained in force down to the present time. @ - | 5 ii 3 i ii‘ 4 ’f.;» i ‘i‘ M“‘;fii »”*;v‘*xa':‘:‘e”;’

when a lovelorn youth made up his mind as to the girl he wanted to adorn and be useful in his hut of ice and snow, he went to her house, seized ‘her by the halr or wherever he conld secure a good grip on her, and dragged her to his own domain, where she was expected to remaln, without any further marriage ceremony. If an affluent ‘bridegroom he would perhaps soothe her lacerated feeling by presenting her with a new lamp or some other article of household utility. = L Mosquitoes Hate Light. It has been shown that the malariabearing mosquito does not stay in a well-lighted house or modern hospltal, says the Medical Record. Clean, bare walls and celiings, large windows and little furniture do not attract it. On the contrary, it selects cottages or oldfashioned houses, where the rooms are “stuffy” and hot, il-lighted, ill-venti-lated, with dark recesses, cuphoards,. old curtains and much furniture. In such a place the mosquito Is altogether at home, and if theére is restricted living or sleeping accommodation infection is very llkely to be carried from the malaria carrier to the susceptible ‘ Always Hope. The fashionable physician walked in, in his breezy way, and nodded smilingly at his patient. o “Well, here 1 am, Mrs. Adams,” he announced;, “What do you think is the matter with you this morning?” - "“Doctor, .1 hardly know,” murmured the fashionable patient languidly. “What is new? —Life.
