Mr. John Bassett Moore, a distinguished Amer ican and a well known authority upon internation al law, is one of the cleven judges. Elihu Root, an- “other American, took a prominent part in estab- lishing the court through his service upon the ad- visory committée that drew up the plan of the World Court. sae vocated entry into the World Court. The platform of the Republican party endorsed entry with res- eryaticns, The Senate in approving the scheme has also > Smade certain reservations repudiating any endorse- ment of or connection with the League of Nations. . Whose favoring American participation in the World Court urge that it is a necessary step to promote world peace and to assist in the stabilization cf conditions in Europe. With equal logic and em- phasis, vhe oppositicn to éndorsement of the court holds that such action is a violation of the tradi- tions of the Republic as best expressed in George Washington’s papers and addresses and in the Mon- roe doctrine. Those who oppose the World Court = declare endorsement cpens up the way for foreign ; ‘entanglements and that such action is really entry ; into the League of Nations by the back, desr, ; Those who have been most insistent that the & United States recognize the court and submit in- ternational cases to it declare that the World Court "rwhile founded by the League of Nations is not an organ cf the League but an: independent institution. On the surface such a statement is open tu chal- lenge. The judges are named by the Council and Assembly of the League of Nations. In fact the whole machinery of the court is set up by the League of Nations.- There is this feature about the court, however: ‘Any nation can become attached to it without being a member of the League of Nations. At this writing so many new reservations have ‘been added to the World Court measure in the senate no analysis is possible. President Coolidge’s plan, however, contemplated. some reservations. His position is that the United States shall notibe bound by an advisory opinion cn any question it has not itself submitted and it is understood that the United States retains its freedom to decide whether or not it shall submit to the court any case in which the Monroe Doctrine is involved. ne SAM oe Ci Ra Pa aeeclene one apa Hn ee eee His Only Move It was generally expected that Col, Mitchel! would resign if President Coolidge affirmed the sentence Passed upon him by the military court.

Of course. We wait to find it out until arbitrary legal restrictions leave us but few immigrants to amine anywhere, For generations we have let them come in countless streams, verit- able hordes of them, without examination, and jherded them at Ellis Island, and other stations, at prodigious pother, and enormous expense to our- selves, and at needless disccmfort and degradati to all of them, and at unspeakable cost and cruelty ;to the thousands of them we sent back. Our best ‘of all governments could not be prevailed upon tu do what it now does, when economics and com- merce have largely swept away the plaintive need for doing it. f That was far too high a price to pay for the pleas: ure of assisting the trans-AUantic steamship lin with their steerage business. They would have ha usiness enough without carrying so many ‘poor devils both ways. Better late than never. The world do move. it do sometimes move frightfully slow. But A New Angle of River Promotion ; (Wichita Bacon) Without disputing the eminently obvious right. of Kansas City to contend for an improvement of the Missouri river, and without raising even a murmur against any form of practicable inland) waterway, it is possible nevertheless for a Wichita citizen to raise an interesting question in connection with the proposed improvement of the Missouri river. It is conceded by every friend of the Missouri river project that a lot of money must be spent in deepening and rectifying the chanel before it is made into a waterway fit for a barge line. And barge channels are not cquivalent to deep water- ways that float large steamers. They are very slow and are practicable only for the hauling of freight that does not| have to be rushed to. its destination. The old government surveys show the Arkansas river to be navigable at least as far as Wichita. The government map-makers may have stretched a pcint, but in the days before so much water was taken from the upper valley for irrigation, there was usually a pretty’ good head of water in the river. It is conceivable that ‘the government might, by channel, make the Arkansas river susceptible to barge traffic. ? Immediately the railroads casrying wheat south- erly and southeasteriy from Wichita would have to Teduce their rates’ in proportion, That would give ‘Wiehita a “river base rate.’ ye Kansas City has had this “river ‘base rate” for many years, due tu.a largely fictitious method of transportation from Kansas City to the Gulf, 1 A Wichita traffic expert shrewdly suspects that the principal object of promoting a barge line 13 not the carrying of tréight by water eo much as the maintenance of low ralirdad rates which will give Kansas City an advantage over Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma shipping points. _ In other worde, it pays to have a river, even if pidemics of measles are reported in a number |, out to be “good risks.” { the use of dams and locks and by deepening the | Revi] To FE WORKED HAD AND UNTIZINGLY SOTAIS ONE'S YOURS, TAKe iT WY BOY-NOuVE EARNED IT “ atory emotions revealed i LETTER FROM PAULA PERRIER TO SYDNEY CARLETON —CONTINUED leters.) private Don't look at me with reproacnful eyes, Syd, for I shall never teli an ne but you.

He intends, alno, tu include BARRY COLVIN, Janet's fiance. Henry Rand is a staunch up- that of punctuality, which in almost a religion with him.

Henry Rand's body has been found in a room at the Canfield Hotel. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER It The voice at the other end of the phone stopped. There was a metallic click. The other man had hung un. “Hello! Hello!” Jimmy frantically tried to call him back. He wanted the owner of that voice to tell him it was all a li ello” “Number, please,” came the oper- ator's voice, Dazed, Jimmy mechan- ically replaced the ‘receiver “on’ the ‘What is it, James? Something has ened to your father. What 1s it?” Jimmy's mother was at his side, her blue eyes staring fixedly at his as if trying to read the truth. Janet came running and put her @rm around her mother, Breathlessly they wait- ed for Jimmy to speak. “Something evidently has hap- pened to dad,” admitted Jimmy, gaz- ing at Barry, who was standing be- side Janet. “Just how bad I don’t know,” he lied, “and I’m going to find out.” “He's dead. I know it. He's dead,” moaned Martha Rand. She slumped into the nearest. chair and buried her face in Her work-worn hands. She swayed slightly from. side to side. Janet ran to her. “Look here, Jim, what is it?” Bar- ry Colvin’s hand was on Jimmv’s arm, his voice steady. “Let me help.” “You've GO help, Barry,’ Jim- my was whispering. “That was police calling. They said dad had been found dead in the Canfield Hotel.” “God, Jim! ‘Not in that hole! It must be a mistake. “I'm praying that it is, Barry, but ‘m going down. You stay here with mother und Sis. Please. Tell them anything to keep them going. I'll phone you later.” Jimmy had grabbed his hat and coat and was gone. The cold, wind-driven rain lashed him cruclly as he stumbled out of the front door and made for the euto- mobile. Jimmy, unheeding, was cat- rying his hat in his hand. On the way down town, Jimmy, driv- ing by instinct rather than by anv ft his brain, found ni It's imself repeating over and over: “God! It’s not true. God! not true. It’s not true.” The Canfield Hotel, old and run down, reared uglily before Jimmy *|Rand’s eyes as he pulled his car to @ stop. A shabby three-story frame struc- aint had faded into tone- less, weather-beaten color that told of careless neglect. A large frosted electric light. globe that hung over the front entrance carried the, words “Caficld Hotel” in. black letters jthat had been eroded by weather until their reading had become al- most a task. Jimmy burst into the lobby. The untidy, bald-headed clerk at the desk was talking to a policeman and Jimmy's question directed him briefly, “Next floor, room 202.” .There, in @ little room filled with policemen and reeging fumes of gas, Jimmy found his father. ‘He was lying face up, in the cen- ter of the floor. Jimmy took one swift look at the still, familiar face | and with a sob in his throat, kneeled beside him. “Dad!” he cried. “Dud!” A. hand touched his ‘shoulder. “Are. you James Rand?” asked the Police sergeant. “Yes, sir. In the name of God you'tell me what has happened?” It looks like suicide, Mr. Rand. j Somebody was passing in the hal!- ;Wway and smelled gas coming ‘from beneath the door. He tried the door and found it locked. The clerk ‘un- locked it and found your father dead and the room stinking with gas.” “When was that?” “About five-thirty. The clerk called police and we came right up. found business cards in his pocket,” indicating Henry Rand's body, “with the name Henry Rand on them. One of my men got your house on the phone right away and talked with you.” “But it couldn't have been sui- cide,” Jimmy protested. “If you had jknown my father you would have known there couldn’t have been one possible motive for him to kill him- self. “There's always a reason for suicide.” i “And for murder, too, for ’ that matter,” supplied the sergeant grim- ly. Jimmy looked in at the still form of Henry ind. “I'll never believe my» father killed himself.” Tears were in his eyes. The police sergeant was sympa- thetic. “I hope you're right, Mr. Rand, It might be hard to find a reason for it, but those things hap- ‘pen. It might be hard to. fin son for your father being in this ‘hotel, for thet matter.” ~ was peeled off here and there. in large chunks,’ revealing the _ black iron beneath.

Here he ‘was, with his overcoat on and his hat on that chair and the gas turn- ed on. Nothing in his pockets but keys and his wallet with his money and cards in it.” “Why should he keep his overcoat on?” Jimmy was figbting, seizing at every possible flaw.in the ser- geant’s theory of suicide. “Don't know.” Another Polleenes Droke in. “Looks as if he wanted to get it over with and came right in and pee deat door and turned on the ga: oks—"y ‘Wait a minute,” the sergeant in- terrupted. “Whe the key? The clerk said he unlocked the door from the outside. There weren’t any loose keys on him—only those on his ring, Go down and bring him wp, Polk.” A policeman turned to do his bid- ding. “Of course,” the sergeant went on to Jimmy, “he may have thrown the key outdoors and then closed the window. We might look out in the strect.” He was trying the keys on Henry Rand’s key ring in the lock in the door. None of ,them fitted. The night clerk arrived. The ser- geant spoke to him brusquely. e anything of a ey in this room? “No, sir. I cafled you up as soon as I found him.” “By the way, who registered for this room?” put in Jimmy. “Did you ask him th sergeant?” “Yes, he si the register is signed by H. A. Jones of New York. Of he wouldn’t give ‘his right me “When did he register?” Jimmy addressed the clerk and waited al- most breathlessly for his reply. Last night some time.” “What time?” “I don’t know. I go off duty at seven-thirty and the night clerk comes on. It must have been some time after seven-thirty.” “And you don’t know what’ this H. A.

You find the man who registered as H. A. Jones and you'll find the murderer of my father. “I'm not sure of that, Mr. Rand. There was a peculiar expression in the sergeant’s face as he spoke. “It still looks like suicide to m¢.
