New Canal for New Orleans.

The canal CONNECTING New Orleans.
La, with Lake Pontchartrain. and put
ting the city forty miles nearer the sea
is nearing completion, says the Path
finder, OF Washington, D. c.
The canal is twentysix feet deep and
will be able to accommodate 10,000-ton
vessels. The work was started in June,
1918, but was delayed by the war. In
the 1,1O0-foot lock greater difficulties
were encountered than in the construc-
tion of the Panama canal, according to
George M. Wells, of the Goethals En-
gineerng company, who had charge of
the work.
Intending quieksands were found. and
a marsh gas ptessut@ developed which
threatened to blow up the entire bottom
of the excavation. The lock was partly
flooded and 10-inch arteslan wells were
driven to overcome the pressure.
In the lock itself five sets of steel
gates will be required, each weighing
400 tons and all will be electrically con-
trolled. 1t is estimated that when COM
pleted the work will cost $20,000,000.
Lake Pontchartrain lies only five miles
north of New Orleans. 1t is forty miles
long and twenty-five miles wide and is
navigable for steamboats, which can
pass through the Rigolets Pass to Lake
Borgne, and thence to the Gulf of Mex
leo. It's waters are salt owing to its
connection with the sea. -

Cox s Three Issues.
Mark Suilivan.)


| Cox had three possible issues: One
was the league of nations; another was
| 'progressivism. including his own rec
ord as governor of Ohio; the third was
the wet" issue.
These three issues he had and still
has. The original intention of his back
ers, of those who brought about his
| nomination, was to play the wet" issue
strongly. They had no stomach for the
league of nations or for anything else
assc ciated with Wilson. They were
''wets" and they intended to make a
wet" campaign. They believed that
was the only chance for the democrats
to get anywhere this year. They be-
lieved that issue presented an opportus
nifty to make inroads IN what they used
to call, in +terms~of military strategy.
"the republican eastern salient"-New
Jersey, New York, Connecticut. Rhode
Island, Maryland. and possibly one or
two other states.
That was the program of Cox's back
ers. But Immediately after his nomi-
nation 1t was apparent that Cox was
noI willing to embrace the wet" issue
as openly and exclusively as his back
ers desired Whether his refusal to go
on with the wet program was tenn
porary or permanent, whether it was
principle or caution, remains to be seen.
AT this writing the "wet" democrats
still entertain the hope that Cox. after
he finishes his western trip and comes
into the east, early in October, win
adopt the wet" issue. The dry" DEM
ocrats on the other hand, are urging
him right now to repudiate the wet"
leaders who helped to nominate him. AT
the present writing Cox has not made
this decision. He must make 1t soon.
In my Judgment this wet versus
dry issue is going to cut large
figure in the closing days Of the cam
paiGn.

WAS HARDLY FAIR.

We note a disposition. among news
papers which were opposed to the NOM
lnation OF ex-senator Hardwick for gov
e"nor OF Georgia, to make much OF the
fact that he represented Martens, the
So called Russian soviet ambassador In
certain litigation, as though that were n
discredtahle circumstance. On second
thought, however. intelligent editors
would not insist on this point. To say

doing his professional duty. Three

No doubt many friends were made
for Watson and Hardwiok by the
character of campaign that was waged
against them. They. were, teEmed pro-

tlnual sluice OF denunciatlon was kept
pouring upon them. but fow details OF
their alleged rascality were given. A
political campaign ought TO make some
approach TO fairness. Men ought not
TO be deliberately accused OF offenscs,
Of which there is no proof. There Is
latent spirit OF fair play in Amer
leans which frequently reacts against
such practices The devil ought to be
given his due.

MlLLERAND WANTS PEACE.

A significant utterance was that OF
Premier MlilerAnd, Of France. that war
In Europe must end. All the more sig
nincant from the fact that France has,
for some time, been considered one OF
the principal obstacles in the way. Her
attitude all along has been one OF en-
couragement; II not OF actual assistance.
to those who have made war on boil
shevik Russia. Only few weeks
ago. Baron WranRel was recog-
pized as a de facto government and an
elaborate treaty OF alliance was said to
have been entered into between him and
the French government. Now, however
the premier declares, Poland has been
given counsel OF moderation.
The policy thus intimated by Miller
ard approximates that announced by
Lloyd George several weeks ago. II
seems to be a modification OF the atti-
tude occupied by France very recently
an attitude which has doubtless served
to postpone the reaching OF an UNDER
standing. Others OF the allies deferred
somewhat to France. and all this oper-
ated to delay or complicate peace ne
gotiations. It 10 a matter, therefore. for
folicitation that France now recognizes
the urgent necessity for an early peace,
and is willing to sacrifice something to
bring 1t about.

ETHICS IN POLITICS.

Readers perhaps remember the con-
test over q congressional nomination, In
Minnesota republican primaries, be-
tween Congressman Volstead and Rev.
Mr.. Kvale a few months ago. Mr..
kvale received a majority OF the votes,
but Mr.. Volstead contested this result
In the courts contending that the
preacher had untruthfully referred to
him (Volstead) in bis speeches as an
atheist The lower courts thought well
enough OF the showing made TO dis
qualify Kvale and award the nomination
to Volstead.' The supreme court, we be-
lieve, decided that neither had been
legally nominated.
In the Massachusetts, primaries Of
last week, a case similar to the one In
Minnesota above referred to was de-
veloped. On the face Of the returns, Jo-
soph ID. Warner was defeated for the
republican nomination for lieutenant
governor by Congressman Alvan T. Full
Ter with a margin Of S77 votes. Mr..
Warner now asks an investigation bas-
ing his plea on the charge that Fuller
made false accusation against him In
the campaign. The accusation was to
the effect that. as speaHer Of the house,
Warner had profited financially through
fees paid to his partner for representing
certain manufacturing interests in con-
nection with pending legislation.
Mr. Warner claims that, while he
promptly denied the trtitNN0f the charge,
Fuller continued to repeakN to his In
Jury. Inasmuch as he dSrIafes that he
has no law partner. he asks that Fuller
be required TO furnish proof of the alle-
cations made, Both are members OF the
Roosevelt club. and II is through this
organization that he makes his demand
for an investigation, ana the club has
indicated its purpose to look into the
matter,
Mr.. Fuller Is remembered as the
maker OF reckless and sensational
charges in congress, hut this. We be-
lievo, is the first time he has been
called to book What the result OF the
inquiry will be, we have little idea, but
there can be no two ,opipjons regarding
the proprlety Of repeating charges. after
warning OF their falslty. unless there is
proof to sustain them. Politics docs not
justify one In slanderlng his neighbor
for his own benefit.

STANDS THE TEST.

No earthquakes or volcanoes are ex-
{, pected by the Paris Post -Intelligencer
sto disturb the country as a result OF
granting suffrage to women. Seed time
\ and harvest are calculated as likely to
alternate with each other very much
as before. Our West Tennessee con-
temporary says, In part:
at is not surprising that the women
are 1ubilant over the triumph OF the
suffrage movement after nifty years OF
agitation. 1t takes a deep feeling OF con-
viction and a sense OF wrongs that
should be rlghted. 10 keep a popular
movement alive for tat length OF
time. and to finally achieve its desired
aim.
''The strongest argument for suffrage
has been the experience Of the states
that have tried II out. 1t was not to
be expected that any Of those states
once having enlarged the franchise 20
take IN the women. could have gone
back to exclusive male voting. But II
the change had produced no good re-
suits and had brought harm. the rest
OF the country would have been amply
warned. The women themselves would
Rave seen that the innovation was q
mistake. They would have urged their
sisters in other states not to follow
along q path that led only to mis-
chief"
our contemporary here adds that.
while there are yet nlaR who are un-
convinced that suffrage will accomplish
any great reform. they take the alto
gethsr sensible view that since men and
women are equal partners In life they
are entitled to- equal rights. In other
words, that suffrage is not favor or
political expedient, but n right the
Withholding Of which is unjust and in
tolerable. ~
Men Of that character do not look for
perfection. They have never beheld 1t

TENNESSEE FAMOUS
Comment Of English Paper on
Suffrage.
Manchester Guardian.)

An exceedingly interesting story Of
effort and success lies behind the vote
OF the Tennessee legislature by virtue
OF which the women citizens OF the
United States will be enabled to vote
In the presidential election OF Nov. g.
-Four years ago a great many women
suffragists campaignsd for the repub-
lican candidate because he had declared
In favor OF suffrage amendment to
the federal Constitution. Mr.. Wilson
at that time was advising the women
to continue their agitation state by
state. After his reelection the presi-
dent underwent a political conversion,
and In October, 1918. he addressed a
special message TO congress asking
that the constitutional amendment
might be passed without delay. The
majority was then democratic, but Mr..
Wilson was out of favor with congress,
and Ms request was sharply refused.
Naturally, the triumph of the women
citizens In this country was an i'm
mense stimulus to the cause In Amer
lea. and as the war drew to an end
extraordinary efforts were made not
only to obtain the needed two thirds
majority In the senate, but also to
overthrow the antisuffrage forces In
the eastern states. In November. one
ing victory was won, by referendum,
In New York state. This clearly por-
tended a not distant national victory
The senate. however. now having a
bare republican majority, was still re-
calcitrant. In February of last year, 1t
threw out the amendment once again,
but by June the balance had been
turned, and the two-thirds vote was
secure. Thereupon the several state
legislatures began swiftly to ratify, but

In March, the thirty-fifth state came

picious shyness was exhibited In rela-

roll. The governors OF several states
order that the amendment might go
through In time for the presidential
poll; and finally, in response TO- an ap-
peal from Mr.. Wilson himself, Gov
Roberts. of Tennessee, consented. The
decision of the TENNESSEE. house OF rep
resentatives completes the process OF
ratification, one week after the senate
of that state had surrendered, by the
narrow margin OF two votes. II now

Want Practical Tool
Of International LaU

The league OF nations covenant pro.
vides for an international court OF
Justice for the settlement by judicial
process OF disputes between nations
II has occurred to many opponents OF
the league itself that such a court
might exist and prove efficacious in
preserving peace even II separated
from the league. In view particularly
of the attitude OF certain republicans
TO the ACCESSIBILITY of such a plan, the
following article In Independence
Beige, OF Brussels, Is timely:
I'm order that the league of nations
may live and fulfil its purpose, there
must be in operation some practical
instrument OF international justice, a
tribunal to which nations may submit
their differences with confidence, and
whose authority will be respected.
Before the war there existed at
The Hague the court of arbitration
| instituted in 1899. But as early as the
peace conference OF 1907 the need of
creating a soldier organization, with
permanent judges. had been pointed
out. The judges of the arbitration
court were selected from list for each
case, and had to be acceptable to the
parties in the cause. A more stable
tribunal was sought, one READY at all
times to perform its functions with
magistrates that could not be chal-
lenged.
THE realization of this deal. TO
which all the world had rallied in
principle, was prevented in 1907 by
the excessive demands of the great
powers in the matter of composition OF
the court.
League Takes II Up.
THE league Of nations has taken. up
the idea anew, realizing that such a
hn hA IoA -
its structure. Article IA of the cove
nant contained in the treaty OF YER
sailles says that the council OF the
league is charged with preparing
project for a permanent court of in
ternational justice and with submitting
it to the assembly.
1.-THE council has fulfilled this man
date. A. committee of jurists appointed
by 1t has met at The Hague and has
worked out the plan which is to be
submitted to the assembly of the
league of nations at Geneva in No
vember. The public has been informed
Of the progress made by this commit
tee, but this piecemeal information has
not given a very complete notion of
the spirit underlying the proposed plan.
THE most delicate problem to be
resolved was that of the method of
designating members of the court. The |
Japanese and British representatives |
had demanded that each Of the great |
powers be allowed. Of right. judge in |
the court, they desired to make sure |
that the assembly, which is to eject |
the judges, should not, through COM |
bination of the smaller nations, ex-
clude one or more of the great pow
ers altogether. They We're persuaded. |
however, to withdraw this demand, !
which is contrary to the theory of in
ternational equality, in favor of for
mula that disposes of the danger they
feared; namely the parallel election Of
Judges by the assembly of the league,
in which all nations are represented.
and by the council. dominated by the
great powers. In case of disagreement
between these two electoral bodies,
each Of them shall designate three
members of a joint committee which
