European world agree to the forma-

dors which would make Venice its
headquarters. The votes of these
plenipotentiaries were to settle all in
ternational disputes and this plan
formed the basis of many brought for
ward in the intervening years down to
the present time. Hugh Grotius, the
first great writer on International law

the organization of Courts of Arbirta-

parties to quarrel to agree to settle

Unbridled Consciousness

There will be very little approval of the censorious
remarks that Senator Reed directed against Representa-
tive Nolstead 1t certainly violation of the estab
shed coureses of congress that member of house
should make malicious attack upon a member of the
other house.
Moreover Senator Reed has shown himself to be,
man, occasions whose habit of nvective has grown
to be ofense against the decorum of public office
In particular his denunciaons of Herbert Hoover have
been very bad taste and so far as canbe Observed
without appreciable effect.
1t is doubtful whether any formal action by the
ate the house will be of any benefit in this case
The that gets the habit of sourrty is not likely
ito be influenced by anything that his associates may
say about him, and Senator Reeds temper
pied with his exceptional skill the of words has
given him first place among the class of congressman
whose idea of public office to be that of op-

So long the people of Missouri persist sending

Farms In Colorado

Interesting statistics given in recent bulletin
of the census bureau concerning the number of farms
in Colorado and their acreage
According to these figures there in 1910 46,17o
farms in this state. In 1920 the number of farms had
increased to 59,934.
Special significance attaches to the detailed figures
in relation to the size of the farms connection with
their number Thus the increase in the number of farms
of 800 from 4O03 1OsOO is Indicative
of the rapid settlement of the arid plains under the $40
homestead law For similar reason the number of
farms between Ia and 499 may taken to ndi-
cate the taking into private ownership public land
tracts of 800 the number of this class of farms
having increased from 12476 1910 to GIL in 1920
