THE HIGHEST U

Before the war the highest tribunal on earth was the
supreme court of the United States. 1t had the power to annult
acts OF the national legislature. From its findings there was no
appeal except to the sword. 1t acknowledged no higher power
will OF the people of this country formally and soemnly
expressed. This instrument created the court and governed its
proceedings, This court interpreted the constitution and declared
null and void any act OF congress that confhcted with it, mol
other country has a similar tribunal.
The French court Of cessation is, in a sense, a supreme
court, but 1t has no such powers as has ours. 1t cannot annul
an act OF the French congress or parliament. 1t can merely
reverse or annul the findings of other courts, as it did in the
famous Dreyfus case.
In England there is no supreme court. The parliament is
supreme and its acts cannot be questioned, The king, or nominal
sovereign, must obey them as we'll as the humblest subject
The parliament represents the sovereignty of the people. The
home secretary may moderate the findings Of a trial court, as
was done some years ago in the case Of an American woman
convicted OF numbering her husband,
Under the old regime the kaiser was a sort of supreme
court as was the car OF Russia, The will Of these worthless
was above courts and laws.
Only in this country is there a court that is supreme and
II is SUBJECT TO the constitution that created II.

of every lover Of peace, justice and right to help and not hinder
this tribunal. The individual may not always agree with It
but the individual is only an atom, while each member of this
court represents millions OF atoms. Instead OF heckinc and
embarrassing the members of this highest court, we should wish
that divine guidance be given it, to the end that peace on Garth
and good will may come and remain.

 "The ex-Presldent evidently has not given this subject much cousidera- tion." said Senator Chamberlain in the Senate. He declared the truth of the old maxim that all respect Taft but few follow him.
 The American people are D5t sat is1ed with results even if Taft is," said MT. Chamberlain. The Ameri- can Expeditionary Force was not sat isfied. I should think that Taft would change his mind on this subject. He has done so many times before"
 The court martial problem Is Q legal controversy, said Senator Cham berlain. Crowder took one viewpoint and Ansell another. Because of this difference" he added. there has been no revision and as a consequence the young men of the country have suffered the most terrible injustice.

N0N-UNI0N MEN
 WANT DELEGATES AT LABOR FARLEY

Waghington, Sept l6. " The rep- rescntaton of the unorganized work iagmen of the country at the confer- ence between capital and labor called by the President for oct. is a prob- lem that iS expected to complicate tho gatherings.
 Such institutions as the United States Steel Corporation, which h. sists that so per cent. of its workmen are outside the regular labor organ izations, are likely to insist that so vast an element in the economic con- troversy must have a voice in the de- Iiborationa. The American Fedora ton of Labor, which is to contribute fifteen delegates, will hardly include nOn-unionists, and the commerce.. and industrial organizations were ex- pccted to send employers.
 The President might be expected to provide all elements outside of these two to represent the public, but in the list of candidates submitted by the Cabinet members in response to the Presidents request, there are no nou-uaion workers. That list is made up of professional men, college pro- fessors, political reformists and noted welfare workers
 It is understood that some of the commercial and industrial organiza- tions have been considering sending some of the prominent non-unionists among their employees. instead of condning their representative to corporation heads and managers. The men they have in mind are the specialists in the steel industry, for instance, whose big earnings mako the average professional mans in- come look small and who are stock holders in the corporation, under the proft-sharing plan.
 George Gordon Battle, ChaH1nan of the Community Councils of National Defense yesterday appointed a conn mittee to submit recommendation on industrial relations to President Wil- son at the conference. VI |.
 The committee includes R. L. Cafd- well. chairman; Frank A. Nanderlip>- Mrs. Henry P. Davison, Mrs. Charles Cary Rumsey, Marcus M. Marks, J. Newton Gum and Rose Schneider man.
