SENATOR ROOT ON THE
LAW OF NATIONS
OPENING ADDRESS AT MEET.
ING OF SOCIETY OF INTER.
NATIONAL LAW,

WASHINGTON. April 2s The
opening address at the third annual
meeting Of the American Society of
International law was made today BY
Senator Elihu Root of New York.
president OF the society, He took for
his subject "The Relation Between
international Tribunals Of Arbitra.
ton of National Courts
Particular reference was made to
the Drago doctrine, Senator Root
eontending that the submission to in.
ternational tribunals implies no I'M,
.peachment of sovereignty.
Senator Root admitted that where
there has been denial Of justice in
national courts decisions are not to
be held conclusive and arbitration and
other further action may be called for.
The better rule would be to avoid
the danger of denials OF justice and
to prevent the belief that Justice has
not been done, which must always
possess the parties defeated in a tri-
bunal suspected OF partiality. said he.
by submitting in the FIRST instance
TO an impartial tribunal all such cases
as are liable TO be affected BY the con.
sideration | have mentioned"
The reason OF such rule, he explain.
ed, would require that when such
cases had already been decided BY
National courts and the impartial
justice OF decision seriously question,
ed, they should be re-submitted to an
a7bitral tribunal, not for proof tha.
justice had been denied, but for re.
hearing on their merits.
Senator Root argued that in inter.
national controversy the only cues.
aion is What is just in this cause, /"
Sovereigns and presidents, ministers
and department officers are not insul.
ted by a provision for a court to as.
certain what is just, he added, because
the common sense of justice recoc-
nizes that their relation to the ques.
ton which arises between the govern
ment which they conduct and Others.
is such that they cannot well be i'm.
partial.
If recourse to arbitration is a reflec.
ton upon national courts, the people
OF the United States have been
strangely obtuse. Nowhere in the
world surely, is greater honor paid to
the courts OF justice, yet we have
embodied in the fundamental law
which finds the states together in a
recognition of the liability of courts
to be affected by the real sentiment
prejudice and pressure"
He told how the proud common
wealrhs, like Virginia and Pennsyl-
vania and New York and Massachu-
setts reVered their judges.
They were prepared to give and
did give their courts degree of au-
thority over them and the executives
and legislatures without precedent in
the history of free governments; but
they also revered justice; they priced
peace and concord and friendship and
brotherhood between the states and
their citizens When the ever recur-
ring dispute arises between submis-
sion of controversies to international
arbitration on the one hand and in
'istence of Jurisdiction OF national
tribunals on the other, the nations

ion as an example of high construc.
i've craftsmanship and wisdom
should not fail to find in their judg-
nent matter to arrest their attention

LECTURE ON TRADES UNIONS.
The 6rst of a series of meetings under
the auspices of the Federation Of Labor
of Baltimore, for the purpose of inform.
ing the general public as to the aims and
objects OF the trades union movement,
was held yesterday afternoon at Rolli'
day Street Theatsr, with Stuart Reid,
of Chicsgo, as the lecturer OF the occs-
sion.
The speaker at FIRST referred to the op'
position shown the labor leaders, stating
that the opposition to them was caused
mostly, it is claimed, by the spirit Of dis
content they create. BE openly con.
fessed that he is ia Baltimore to create
discomfort among the wOrkiugmeu, the
discomfort that would cause them to
strive for The betterment of their condi-
ton EYES," said he, 81 am labor
leader labor sgitst0r. l am not a
graduate of Princeton, Harvard or Yale;
am graduated from the school that all
other labor agitstors are graduated from
the school of hard knocks. They
don't play football, they are the football.
They receive their tuitisn through bitter
experience"
The speSker compared the labor lead
ers of the present day with George Wash
ingtou, who, be stated, was one of the
greatest agitators the world ever saw, as
there would not nave been any Boston
tea party, no Valley Forge, il it had not
been for the sgitators who brought dis
content among the vasssls of King
George in this country. II it had not
been for the sgtators, he said, this
country might possibly still be paying
duties to England.
81 have no sympathy with the per-
feciIy contented man; show ME one Of
them and I'll show you perfect jack
ass" stated the speaker. Continuing,
he said: "If L could spread that spirit
of discomfort 10 Baltimore would leave
here we'll satisfied"
The speaker continuing, declared that
Christ WAS the greatest sgistor the
world ever knew, for it was he who
gave to Christianity an eleventh COM
| mandment, namely, that of love for fel-
lowmsn. Upon this commandment,
stated the speaker, trades uuionism is
| erscisd, aud upon this commandment II
would grow until it gained lis aims.

ACCEPT VERDICT OF YEARS.
And Thus, and Thus Only, Can . WoUs'
an Be Said to Have the Best
Of Life.

Woman has learned to claim 20

Timely wise, accept the terms" "
This motto was adopted by charm
ing grandmother, in her f0rties. She
had made the truth OF Emerson's
wise saying her own, and made no Wis
IDLE effort after youth. There was
gray in her hair, and her mobile face
had its lines-but every line had been
traced by smiles, not worries. Young

But it is equally true that the people
who like 46 when it is charming, 10
not care for sweet sixteen to any ex-
tent. On those terms, accepting them
frankly, 46 can work out its own sal.
vation-but only on those terms That
was her wisdom.
A woman, indeed, who does not be-
long among her contemporaries, so to
speak, can never have the best Of
life. A child who prefers older peo-
pie to playfellows has not an ideal
childhood. A girl who is too serious
and mature for her age loses the love

ly so. a woman who refuses to enter
middle age with her contemporaries
loses the pleasures of middle age.
which are real pleasures, and is very
apt to make herself ridiculous into
the bargain. Youth of spirit can be

ATHLETICS AND 1.-THE GATE. "
Out Of Place on University
Playing Fields.

When one figures up how many pro-
fessors could be paid. or how many
students assisted, if $1O7 1920 could
be divided up among them. the ex-
penditure of that sum at Yale last
year on what are called the four
major sports" seems large. That par
ticular money, however. could hardly
have been secured for any except the
uses to which it was put, and as from
those same sports there were receipts
amounting to $1IO,9S6.34, the financial
showing, as such, is satisfactory. or
at least better than it would have
been with the balance on the other
side of the ledger. The boys who ham
died these big sums. too, showed BY
keeping within their income that they
are getting out Of athletics a certain
amount of business training.
It is noticeable. looking at the mat
ter from this point Of view. that only
football was profitable. Baseball
comes out only a little better than
even, but rowing and track sports had
to be debited with heavy losses. The
business man would therefore say.
Drop rowing and track sports. con-
tinue baseball under a suspended SEN
tence, and devote redoubled attention
to football" That nothing OF the kind
will be done or even considered Is
proof that the whole idea OF combin;
ing business with sport Is somehow
wrong, and that the amateurs who
attempt it are verging toward PROBES
sionalism so far as their financierfng
is sound.
The ideal method would be to make
nothing at all out of sports, but to
consider the money spent on them,
not as loss, but as the price OF phys
ical development and innocent amuse-
ment, both of which are worth buying
and paying we'll for. The gate" some
observers cannot help thinking. is out
of place on university playing fields
All the abuses and excuses of ath-
letics are due to it, or related to 1t,
and without it most of them would
disappear.
