A Congress Of all nations should be
called to consider and declare what
of international law still remains OF
binding force, and to provide for the
further development and extension al
that law, and for the application of
the law to all justiciable cases of con-
troversy between nations by Impair
tial judicial tribunals, and to make
the decisions of such tribunals upon
question OF fact and upon questions
of law binding and effective. That
Is the old American doctrine, and
that Is the necessary method of DEM
ocractes, for democracies can live only
unoer governments of laws, and not
Of men.
THE extreme effects of the posses
sion of arbitrary power as seen in
the extraordinary letters of the Pres.
ident to Secretary Lansing published
ON the 14tb OF February, 1920, by
which 1t appears that honest and in
dependent advice from officers of the
Presidents own selection Is an Of

most ordinary powers OF the heads OF
departments without consulting the
President when his illness prevented
consultation is cause for resentment,

Principles of our government, Mr.
Root urged, should be applied to the
relations between organized labor ant
the public; first, to assert the con.
trol OF the whole people of the Unit

whole people of each state within its
field, over matters essential to the
life of the community, to the exclu

tiers, and, second, to exercise thai
J popular control by making and ap.

Third, to revise the system OF tax

new tariff law must be framed SO
that American industry will not be

"The right of free speech does not
include the right to incite crime" he
explained. "Yet we must be careful
not to overlook the distinction. Let
there be fair hearing, and let no
expression Of mere differing opinion
however radical or distasteful-be
punished"
The chief means of meeting the
Bolshevik assault, he asserted, was
"Americanization." We must not
confine it to the foreign born, he
stated. 1t must extend to all children
in the schools, and to that end to

means excluding the professors in

\ CANNING FACTORY

Barbourville lies in the midst of
district which can grow more and
better vegetables than most towns
in the United States. We should have
canning factory located here, own
ed and run by local capital. with our
farmers taking stock along with Bar
bOuryille citizens. either paying for
same in produce or cash or in both.
Tomatoes alone should produce big
financial returns which would enter
the marts of trade. Berry growing
would be stimulated and farms that
now produce living and little more
would make their owners independ-
ent. The Barbourville Electric Light
Plant has plenty of steam which
could be utilized for steam canning
and the markets are close at hand,
begging for good fresh produce.
Stock in cannery managed by
men of sense would pay fine divi-
dends. Let's have one.

DID SINNERS BATTLE
WITH EACH OTHER?

On Wednesday morning two dead
mules were found in the county road
On Straight Greek near the mouth
OF Buffalo Branch. The story of the
death of the mules which has reach
ed Pineville shows how fearful OF
the law are those who are dealing
in Mountain Dew" As the story
goes, one mule was carrying its rid
er toward Pineville with two jugs
of moonshine liquor. The other
mule was carrying rider who had
of corn whiskey. 1t was night and
the moon had dropped behind the
mountain, when two riders met in
the county road. Whether or not
they each had sampled their mer-
chandisc. and had reached that CON
dition where all men looked like re-
venue officers is not stated, but, be
that as il may, the story goes that
they did mistake each other for an
OiuCIs anu tdtu pulltu MS gun anu
fired. Both mules fell dead, and
the riders walked toward each other
with hands in the air. When they
came together they each recognized
the other. and after "cussin' the
luck that had caused them to lose
their valuable farm animals, weuded
their way on foot to their homes.

that section of the country. The
liquor which was en-route to mar

its destination.
This story is not vouched for. but
we were told ION the quiet" that the
above is the true account of how two
mules came to their death on the
