MANY wears ago the fiscal system OF the
city was changed by provisions that made

have ignored it Floating debts have
been the rule rather than the exception,

ministration Of school affaifs under its
provisions No 'ongcr are heard the bitter

with ins:stcnt demands for its absolute

faith of its friends that time and cx-
per;cncc would eliminate this hostility
and materially modify the objections
urged against the measure has been fully
justified

cepted as an introduction into the new
work. and that bu'lding upon IT IN prac-
tical manner, eliminating the unsound
features, amending and readlustIng the
points that are not suitable, will no doubt
be the means Of establishing sound
system of education, advancing moder-
ately and with the result desired. Serious

MR.. ROOT FOR WORLD COURT.

Criticism of the Covenant Of the
League of Nations has been severe
In respect to the paucity OF provision
for an international court of justice, the
provision needful for legal rather than
political settlement Of the causes that
arise between or among nations. Mr..
Root has been among the critics and his
views have had much weight. The
proposal for the pre-emiDent IurIst to
play the leading role Id the creation of a
court Of permanent jurisdiction Is, there
fore. something of the widest interest.
Embarrassment at the present moment
is found in the fact that the u5ii ed
States is not party to the peace treaty.
The clause Of the Treaty providing
for the permanent court of justice re-
quires the adoption of plans for the
establishment of a permanent court
Of international justice. The court shall
be competent TO hear and determine any
dispute Of an international character
which the parties thereto submit TO IT..
The court may also give an advisory
opinion upon any dispute or question
referred to it by the council or by the
assembly.
Here is phraseology ample for the
ends Of legal action IN the relations
of the nations under the league Mr..
Root would be the best selection the
world over for organizer of the court.
Here is an opportunity that seldom
falls to anyone, even to one OF such
varied international experience as Mr..
Root. 1t is, therefore, TO be hoped
that the prospect of securing his ser
vices In the way sought may stimulate
the Senate TO prompt ratification OF the
Treaty. Philadelphia Press.

Why shouidn Milks Emulsion help you
1t has worked wonders for others 1t costs
nothing To try.
Milks Emulsion cleanses the stomach and
bowels OF all Impurities, restoring healthy
natural bowel action and doing away with
all need of pills and physics. 1t corrects the
digestiye organs and improves the appe-
lite. Thus IL helps nature TO build up the
blood and tissue and to strengthen tho
throat. stomach and bowels. As a builder
OF flesh and strength, Milks Emulsion is
strongly recommended to those whom sick
ness has weakened, and is powerful aid in
resisting and repairing the effects of vast
ing diseases. Chronic stomach trouble and
constipation are promptly relieved-usu-
ally i'll one day.
This is 0 only solid emulsion made. and

like ice cream.
NO matter how severe your case, you are

CHINA AND SHANTUNG.

Chinas refusal TO begin negotiations
with Japan for the return OF kiao-Chau Is
consistent with China refusal TO ratify the
Treaty. But TO what lengths does China
propose to carry consistency? Is she
prepared TO lose everything in Shantung
rather than take. 10 start with, the sover-
eighty that the Peace Conference assures
her? 1t is true that America has not
ratified She may ratlfy with q drastic
reservation regarding Shantung. But
how will il affect the situation? The
Treaty with the original shantung pro-
vision Is already in force. Would the
Senate irreeoncilables cali for the sending
of American boys TO the Orient TO enforce
our desires?
But China is not necessarily grasping
at a shadow. She may be planning q
way out of a difficult situation. The
provinces are reported TO have sent
numerous kilograms TO Pekng opposing
Av discussion of the matter with Japan
and favoring submission of the question
TO the League OF Nations. This may be
because certain Chinese entertain the
hope of a~revision of the Treaty by the
League. But the more likely explanation
is that they see in this course a way by
which they can gain what they must re-
gard as the maximum practically possible
without ratifying distasteful Treaty.
To accept an unsatisfactory settlement
from the League OF Nations is not at all
the same thing as accepting the same
settlement in a Treaty TO which one S
name must be appended. China may be
nlanoeuvring, not for better terms, but
for better way Of accepting the existing
terms than the way provided at Paris
