filled with local idioms. but English. nevertheless. SINH
larly the language OF. the native New Englander is not
precisely that Of the native Georgian. The Texan has his
own variations and the inhabitants of the northwest
have theirs. yet all speak one language, and notwith-
standing the fact that the locality in which it 10 used
gives 1t certain distinguishing marks. it Is still essentially
the same English language that is spoken across the
ocean. .-
There seems to be no good basis for the belief that
the creation and growth of a great nation in our behalf
of the American continent will give to the world a new
language. The world tendency on the contrary seems 10
be in the direction of lessening rather than increasing
the number. Of languages. The facilities afforded for
inter-communication have caused-all peoples to appre-
ciate the need for understanding each other better, and
the prospect is that instead of having many languages
the users of which do not understand each other, the
language used by the smaller groups will fall more and
more into disuse, and the few languages customarily
used by the great nations whose operations are world
wide will remain as the standard forms Of expression

STRENGTHENING THE LEAGUE.

The principal defect that former Senator Root finds
IT. the constitution for the league of nations as drafted.
is that, while its provisions for the settlement of polit-
ical controversies such as those which caused this war.
it does not provide for the obligatory settlement of pure
ly legal questions in a similarly peaceful manner. If the
amendments which he suggests are adopted the member
nations will be required to submit all their legal disputes,
of whatever nature, to appropriate courts to be created
for that purpose, and machinery will be created and set
to work to formulate International law and provide for
its proper Interpretation and enforcement.
The plan suggested by Mr.. Root is logical. Its
adoption would be highly beneficial. And because, in
spite OF >ebulitions, disturbances, and even destructive
explosions, the world is travelling toward a better under
standing and the application of better methods. plans
embodying that principle are certain. sooner or later, to
be adopted. =.
But, if Mr.. Roots argument is sound, what becomes
of the objections of some senators and some other con-
spicuous public men that the covenant as it stands will
rob the United States of its sovereignty. and therefore
should be discarded in toto? -.
Mr.. Root would not only retain entire the only pro-
visions which can be construed as in any sense affecting
the sovereignty Of this or any other nation. but would
add to those provisions others still more drastic, in
volving the fundamental legal rights. the honor and the
vital interests of the nations.
= AS the subject is viewed from this angle it appears
that changes embodying the principle emphasized by
Mr.. Root would improve the covenant materially" The
question is not whether or not such changes should be
made, because. as we see it, they, are necessary and in
evitable. The question is whether it is possible to have
these changes made now. We have seen the attitude OF
certain of our own public men. toward the entire subject
because of supersensitiveness on the matter of sovereign
ty. 1t is quite conceivable that a similar attitude may
be found elsewhere on the part Of public men who are
either actuated by real fear that the sovereignty of their
nation may suffer, or by a desire to inspire this fear in
others for Interior purposes. - =.
1t is admitted that no constitution that can be adopt
ed will be perfect. Imperfections in the compact to be
made now will necessarily arise from two causes, first,
the fallibiHty of even the wisest men who devote them
selves to the framing of such an agreement, and second,
that the fact that the attitude of peoples toward such a
covenant must be a progressive one. That which would
be accepted tomorrow would be rejected today.

THE MILLS ACOUITTAL

Walter Thomas Mills, on trial in the federal court
at Fargo for violation of the espionage act in certain ut
terances made in a speech in Fargo last summer was
given a verdict Of acquittal on Tuesday, this verdict hav-
ing been directed by the trial judge on the ground. in
substance, that the charges were entirely unsupported
by the evidence.
The case has aroused no little interest because Of
paign speaker by the management of the Nonpartisan
league. and that it was in one Of his campaign speeches
that he made use of the language to which exception
was taken.
Summaries of the testimony have been received at
Grand Forks by wire, and have been published here.
More detailed reports have been published in the papers
of Fargo, where the case was being tried. From these
reports it has been apparent that the case of the gov
eminent was a remarkably weak one, and on the evil
dence as published any jury of fairly intelligent and rea-
sonably fair-minded men would have rendered a verdict
OF acquittal without leaving the box. The instructed
verdict, therefore, could not have been a surprise to any
one who has followed the case.
Mr.. Mills, therefore, is at liberty, free to go and come
as he pleases. and is relieved of whatever legal cloud
was cast over him by his indictment.
The socialistic press is quite naturally elated over
the acquittal Of their fellow-worker and platform spokes:
man. The Fargo Courier News tells Of the complete
vindication" Of its apostle in loud headlines. The Grand
Forks American, another Socialist organ, likewise re-
)olces. But, while the decision likes the status of the
defendant in its relation to the courts. it does not change
his character as a man, or render one whit more praise
worthy his attitude or expression on any subject. 1t was
decided that nothing proven against Mr.. Mills constitute
ed a violation Of the espionage law. under which he was
tried.
Speaking Of the language used by Mr.. Mills, Judge
Amidon said in his charge to the jury: s
The particular language used in the first part of
the passage. even with the qualifying clause, which it is
now claimed, and / think clearly proven, was attached
to It. was unfair and cruel.
ITO say in advance. the boys who are on their wav to
