ROOT HAS LONG TALK
WITH SENATOR HARDING

Marion. o.. Dec, Al had a very
pleasant. interesting, long talk with tho
president elect" SAID Senator Root
after he had concluded his three-hour
conference. He stated that they had
discussed in length, The situation Is
not one on which conclusion could he
reached in such conference he added.
Senator Root advocated making the
international tribunal OF the league OF
nations provisions of which he helped
to frame operative for the settlement
of international disputes.
Jurisdictions of the court, he SAID,
should be made operative through ar
bitraton treaties between the individ-
ual nations
"Such a course" he added, Il think
would be u step in the right direction.
The most useful course TO prevent
lighting is to afford people some other
way of settling their difficulties than
by fighting The subject matter or
controversies between nations usually
is of less Importance than that the
controversies be settled"
AS to questions OF national honor'
Senator Root said that 1t was not nee
essary to bother much about ones
honor If one tries to be honorable.

BRYAN GOES TO MARION.

william Jennings Bryan gets into the
headlines again this week He has been
summoned to visit Mr. Harding at
Marion for conference regarding the
International peace situation. II has
been announced that Mr., Harding is
aesrous Of talking with Mr.. Bryan con-
serning the formulae Of the thirty odd
peace treaties negotiated by the latter
while secretary of state and particu-
hrly regarding the details OF such ne
gotiations. The date for the conference
has been fixed for Friday. Mr.. Bryan's
iourse in the last campaign was not
kich as to offend the president elect.
The Bryan peace treaties were the
subject OF much comment receding the
n mar and II was at one time insisted

'3s<Rr into one of them, war between

IftSented. The principles Nm Terrifying
.t<&nse pacts were, moreover, In large
measure Incorporated in the league of
snnttons covenant. Secretary Daniels,
Ss<paa believe. has stated that those prin-
ipies were in reality the heart of the
league covenant.
Another matter which has brought
Mr.. Bryan's name into the current dis
russions is the reported recommends
ton of Col. Harvey hat an agreement
be negotiated pledgMg the nations not
to begin war of aggression without
first submitting the issue to the people
This embodies another OF the ideas
which Mr.. Bryan has frequently in
sisted upon. 1t is remembered that he
sought vainly TO have this formality
undertaken before this country should
declare war on Germany.
More recently. Mr.. Bryan provoked
nationwide comment b. reason of his
Jackson day speech last January, In
which he urged the ratification OF the
Versailles treaty upon the best terms

vatons be accepted. For taking this

and warmly commended. Friends OF
