ARTICLE TEN

Why is frequently asked should there be so much con-
roversy Article 10 of the league nations the council
shall only advise upon the by which the obligation shall
fulfilled in the aggression against member the league
and the congress alone has the right declare war"
The weight Of obligation resting upon members of the league
to carry out advice OF the councis binding some
may suppose If accept the presidents interpretation
lie said with reference to the moral obligation implied by
Article 10:
when speak OF legal obligation mean one that spe-
ccay binds to do particular thing under sanctions
superior to legal obligation and if say So has greater
binding force only there remains in the moral obligation the
right to exercise ones judgment whether indeed in
cunbent upon in those circumstances do that thing
every moral obligation there element OF Judgment lcga
obligation there is element OF Judgment"
In other words the expression advise inserted in the
place OF direct other such word for the reason that
moral obligation superior legal obligation and was in
tended that should be bound by action of the council M
the strongest possible ties
AS to the suggestion OF needless concerning the surrender
OF the constitutional right of congress declare war it might be
stated that the president the commander of the arm,
has sent American troops Siberia without declaration of war
against that country American expedJnay force was sent
to Russia without congressional sanction few ago an
American force landed Vera Cruz and and short time later
another Mexico Neither OF these was with con-
gressiona sanction
President Wilson send troops without a
thory and under the league he could I've continually
involved in European affairs to the OF ordering troops
carry out the mandates of the league
If only could be certain that VIC should have Wilson as
long we have the league might be different But because Of
the state OF his health he to ccccn In
the country may be 50 far off its balance elect Republican
president and then under the league We would be
obliged to back him with moral support
we willing give Democratic president moral support
but nothing less than legal obligation will command Our sup
port OF Republican policies Some Of who howl loulcs
about supporting the president know what how many p

HARMONY

cambridge Colby has been identified closely enough with the
administration for the president make mistake Judging his
fitness to be secretary OF state succeeding Mr. Lansing
Mr. Colby is not Democrat He Progressive but the
party died. and he has had strong attachment for any party
since his efforts capture the Republican convention for Roos
welt But quite Mr. Colby be Democrat order
to meet the emergency He be further assured
in full sympathy with the viewspersona and official known
and unknowno the president and willing subscribe them
sight unseen
Mr. Colby is attractive gentleman who likes make
speech and sometimes makes good goes for social affairs
Is wealthy and has college degrees that would have
been surprising that he given the important portfolio of
secretary OF had his collegiate career matter Of
public record, But his appointment surprise No
side the official circle guessed that he being considered the
place. though was obvious that the president had quite sufficient
experience with like Garrson Bryan and Lansing last him
for the remainder of his term.
We predict Mr. Colby, while he may have his limitations in
other respects will make Mr. Wilson ideal secretary
and that he will not lay himself liable the charge uurpaon
OF presidential authority and doubt emergency would
yield to the president rather than their relations break
ing point.
One not escape the gratifying conclusion that the pre
dent has found the that suits him and that enceor there
will be perfect harmony between the and the state de-
partment with two souls with but single thought hearts
that beat as one-the one being Wilson's.

BUT SIMPLY muttered.

AND THE bell didn't ring.
TILL THEY were seated.
AND WIPED their foreheads'
THAT WERE beaded with sweat.
OF PAINFUL effort.
AND THEY grinned at each other.
AS GAME as ever.
AND DREW long breaths.
AND SETTLED down.
AND STARTED to talk.
AND I was seated.
ON THE seat behind.
AND HEARD what they said.
AND 1T was the first time.
THEY HAD ventured away.
FROM THEIR hospital.
AND THE money they'd had.
THEY HAD spent downtown.

PHONE RATE RAISE in
COUNTY IS DENIED

There will be no raise in tele-
phone rates in Madison county
above the regular contract rates
which were in effect for several
years before wartime rates were
temporarily put on. The Madi-
son County Fiscal Court, at its
meeting Tuesday, denied the in
crease which is sought by the
Cumberland Telephone and Tele-
graph Company. A special COM
mittee had been named to look
into the petition of the company
for an increase and its claims that
the old rates force it to work at
practically a loss, but the commit
tee reported against allowing the
increase sought.
