CENTRAL AMERICA A UNIT Central America is playing a much bigger role in this fifth gathering of American republics than on any other former occasion of this nature. five nations of Central America are almost a unit in their economic and political aspirations appears an outstanding fact. Costa Rica has placed before the judicial comtmittee a proposal for the establishment of a Pan-American Court of Justice to be composed of representatives of each nation for a period of ten years. All cases to be tried by from three to seven judges chosen by the court, none of whom shall be representatives of countries frpm i which litigation will be in ques-1 tion. How far such a PanAmerican Court of Justice would clash with the possible entrance *of all American republics into | the League of Nations is not easy to state. Most of the smaller! states have already agreed, in I the treaty signed at. Washington, to submit disputes to an inter-1 national tribune for arbitration. ■ on which five Americans citizens j , are to serve. This proposition. I if consumated, may put the Wes- j I tern Hemisphere on a permanent, peace basis. Europe should do likewise. o- ' KILLED AT GRADE CROSSING, Franklin, Ohio, May 22. —Two ■ women and three children, mem-1 bers of the household of Bertram Williams, today lay dead in a local undertaking establishment, victims of a grade crossing accident at Carlisle, two miles w'est of here, late yesterday.

“PURE’’ DEMOCRACY Newspapers and politicians seem to be emissaries of a propaganda against what they call “pure democracy.” Intimations are made that something terrible is liable to happen unless this ‘’drift’’ is checked. Why should an American have any fear of pure democracy? When the American system of government was founded on the idea that all just powers of public authority are derived from the “consent of the governed,” pure democracy was established then and there. If the intent of the founders of the Republic was not incorporated in the Constitution, then that document is liable to be construed as a "scrap of paper.’ Suffrage was granted to women because of the desire for a “pure democracy.” Direct election of Senators was adopted for the purpose of letting the people choose. The primary system took the place of party conventions for the same reason. The “drift” toward “pure democracy” is moving with resistless power not only in the United States, but throughout the world. It cannot be said that perils and calamities follow the path of this movement, except to those who try to stop it by getting in the way, and it may be that the parading of these supposed dangers bears a close relation to the approach of the presidential election. Americans will not be frightened by a “drift” of public sentiment, toward what Abraham Lincoln expressed in his appeal for a “government of the people, for the people, and by the people. — o 1 — It’s a barrel of fun to follow some bands —until they begin to play.

TURKISH CONCESSIONS TO AMERICANS The Chester oil concessions recently approved by the Turkish government, may involve the United States in diplomatic controversy with Great Britain and with France, both of whom claim prior concessions but neither of which was ever finally approved. The American group represented by Admiral Chester has Obtained the right to construct approximately 1,200 miles of railway, and also the right to the mineral wealth of the great tracts of land, some of which is believed to be rich in oil and copper. Oil deposits alone are estimated to be worth from $500,000,000 ‘o $600,000,000 and the mineral leposits are of inestimable value. General George W. Goethals, Kermit Roosevelt and other well known Americans are interested n the Ottoman-Development Company. Our State Department Joes not consider the concession as a monopoly or a violation of the open door, and indications ire that the pending treaty with Turkey will open the way for American development of that jart of the Near East.

TERRY’S LNCLE TOM’S CABIN Harriet Ward Beecher Stowels famous and much talked of slave play of days before the Civil War. as originally dramatized by G. L. Aitken, will be presented it Syracuse for one night performance only Friday, June 1, by Ferry’s big company that has ieen presenting this well known day for the past thirty-three vears. under the largest waterproof canvas theatre on the road. The Terry show this season is me that cannot be forgotten join the fact that th£ performince they gave surpasses any previous attempts, no expense having been spared to make this production the most complete 3ver presented. The massive scenic and electrical effects used •n the play, are built upon the largest and most lavish scale aver attempted. The presenting cast comprises the very best dramatic talent that cap be secured. and the bands and orchestra are composed •of the very >est musicians that are to be found in the musical world. An>ther feature is the pack of genuine Siberian bloodhounds — Ferry having the largest and most expensive pack obtainable.

Some of us grub right steadily, but its not unanimous —not by a long shot —as will be proved in the fact that Liberty Bond holders to the amount of over a thousand millions of dollars cannot be induced to cash their interest coupons which amounts to more than $58,314,380. Some bondholders believed to have thrown away their bonds, under the impression that they were worthless as soon as all the coupons were detached. Others, although the theory may be incredible in the shadow of Wall Street, thought they owed tK& government interest instead of the other way around. A few patriots thought they were giving the government the money just as they gave lesser sums to the Red Cross and Belgium relief. We got so accustomed to giving that a little matter of a billion or two is neither here nor there. No wonder Europe asks to have their debts cancelled.
