ROUSSEAU'S LEAGUE OF
NATIONS

In 1851 there was published in
England translation of Jean
Jacques Rousseau's "A Project for
Perpetual Peace" and it is interest
ing to turn over the pages of this
pamphlet in the light Of current dis
cussions. The critic of The Monthly
Review, at the time Rousseau's pro-
ject was published in it's English
form, has this to say: "A writer
who could propose feasible scheme
for this purpose would be the great
est benefactor that ever blessed man
kind; and expedients of this sort ap-
pear so easy in speculation, that it
seems matter of surprise that so de-
sirable an end has not been hitherto
effected. The Improvement Of arts
and sciences, which are supposed to
polish and refine mankind. seem to
have had quite contrary effect; and
lead one to doubt whether the jeal-
ousies and rivalship they evcite do
not, in fact, counterbalance the ad-
vantages they produce.
The kernel of Rousseau's scheme
is no less than the constitution of a
League of Nations. 1t is we'll known
Iof course, that Rousseau's writings
Influenced the founders of the Amer
lean republic. Is it not also possible
that they have had some effect upon
la certain student of American his

Dundee, Scotland Oct. 1S.--Dangel
of embodiment with the United States
If the north and south OF Ireland were
left to fight out their own differences
were predicted by Winston Spencer
Churchill, the secretary for war, in hi;
speech here Saturday night in which
he referred at length to the Irish sit
uation.
Mr.. Churchill after asserting that
such q course would lead to civil war
"on such an organized scale that it
would be disastrous and more terrible
than could be imagined said II would
mean that in England sympathy would
develop in favor of Ulster. Influential
persons in the United States. he said,
sympathized with the south of Ireland,
and while volunteers would leave Eng
land for the north of Ireland, rein
forcements would come from the
United States for The south.
That, added the war secreary, would
create such tension that Great Britain
would be faced with the greatest dan
ger it could be confronted with-nams
ly. quarrel with the Uni ed States.
Two or three years more of what
We are going through he added, ZAP
pears better to me than that We
should leave Ireland to herself an
thus open the hoodgates of organized
war and later embroil us with the
United States"
Mr. Churchill in his speech previous
~ had said the strain on soldiers serv-
ing in Ireland by reason OF the riots
and killinsg. far exceeded that of thcI
soldiers who served in the trenches
during the recent war.
But" he added I'VE are going toI
break up this murderous gang and il
will lie broken up absolutely and III
terly. as sure as The sun will rise to-
morrow
Mr. Churchill said when the reign
Of terror was suppressed it would be
time for complete and permanent
settlement of tn Irish question. He
stated the plans of Viscount Grey and
Mr. Asquith did not agree, but this |
did not matter much since De Valera
would accept neither.
During a denunciaton of bOlsheyism |
Mr. Churchill said representatives Of
bolshevism in Great Britain had tried |
to teach labor leaders how to run a
revolution There were Lenincs and |
Trotzkys here, he said. waiting for re-
ports of their delegates to Russia.

"reminiscences
BY w. v. BARRY
IN NASHVILLE TENNESEAN, FEB. Is, 1920

Judge James w. Doherty, who
died in Decaturville, Tenn, a few
years ago, after living and practic-
ing law in that town for some TWEEN
ty-five years or more, was charac-
ter. He was a noted land lawyer, a
speaker of no mean ability-and, if
/ remember correctly, got his title
of "judge" from the fact that he
filled the office of chancellor by APP
pointment, perhaps during the Will
liam G. Brownlow regime in Tennes-
see. The Judge was great talker
particularly in regard to things
past but after he had lived in Deca-
turville sixteen years it was his wont
to tell of future conversation he an
ticipated-with one Saint Peter,
guardian of the Golden Gate entrance
to the Celestial Empire. The Judge
said that when he gave his signal
knock at the gate he expected Peter
to open the wicket and make the in
quiry, "Who comes there?" to which
he would get the response "Jeems w.
Doherty.'
where do you come from Mr..
Doherty?"
Answer: Decaturville, Decatur
County, West Tennessee, State of
Tennessee, United States of America,
North Amrica, in the Western Hem
isphere."
"How long have you lived in Deca-
turville, Mr.. Doherty?,"
Answer: sixteen years"-with a
long-drawn sigh and the question
