Geneva.-The bench of the Interna-
tional Court of Justice elected by the
assembly and council of the League OF
Nations appears to give general salts
faction to the delegations with few ex-
ceptiOns. Eleven judges were chosen,
as follows:
John Bassett Moore, United States
Viscount Flnlay, Great Britain: DIR. Y.
Odu. Japan; DIR. Andre Weiss. France
Commentators D. AnzilOtti, Italy; DIR.
lluy Barbosa, Brazil DIR. Il. T. G. Lo-
der, Holland; A. $. De Bustamente,
Cuba; Judge Didrik Nyholm, Den
mark; DIR. Max Huber, Switzerland,
and DIR. Rafael Altamiray Crevea,
Spain.
Nine of the judges were chosen on
the first ballot. The bench represents
all four of the great systems of juris-
prudence and nearly every race and
tongue In the assembly.
New York.-John Bassett Moore an
nounced at his residence here that he
would accept election to the Interim
tional Court OF Justice. He is in his
sixty-first year. Elihu Root, who had
declined election because of age, Is 76
Mr. Moore has been professor of in
ternational law and diplomacy at Co
umbia University for twenty yenrs and
has had varied public service involv-
ing international relations.
He was law clerk in the Depart
ment of State in 1885, third assistant
secretary of state from 1856 to 1891,
assistant secretary of state in 1898, sec
retary and counsel of the Spanish
American peace commission in 1898
councillor of the State Department In
1913. He has been member of the
permanent court at The Hague since
1914, and is vice chairman of the inter
national high commission organized al
he Pan-American financial conference
II 1915.
The American candidate. John Bas
Sett Moore. was chosen on the second
ballot. His election provoked the
greatest applause. The South and Cen
tral American combination with Spain
carried through its slate of four candi-
dates, on the first ballot. 1t became
necessary, however, for them to sacri-
flee DIR. A. Alvarez of Chile, because
the council did not put his name on its
list. In the re-balloting DIR. Huber of
Switzerland and Judge Nyholm of Den
mark outvoted him.

should be a joy and a matter of I'M
told pride.
America today stands in the path
of destructive force. Not a whirl-
wind to tear and rend but a slow,
creeping, insidiouS, relentless force
that attacks the very heart Of your
country, drains the strength and
power and hopes and dreams of their
being and will never pause in its
blight until YOU and yours have been
aroused.
Today in the United States, where
popular government has reached its
highest development, a large portion
of our citizens have abandoned the
effort to exercise any Of their polite
al rights. So, in increased measure,
the urgent need exists for bringing
home to every individual his own re-
sponsibility for self-assertion in po-
litical life.
In war the qualified man who fails
to take arms in defense Of his coun-
try becomes abhorrent in the eyes of
his decent fellows. The obligation to
take arms at such time is no great
er than the obligations of peace in
the life Of any good citizen. If the
necessity arises, he renders this ser,
vice in the discharge of his civic
duties. But this is not true of all
Every country has its Bergdoll anC
every age its slackers. They occupy
an unenviable place in public opin
/ ion; their children will live to blush
at mention of their names.
But with the political slackers-
many of them are respected citizens
We find them in every community
I the business man who is too busy Il
register; the working man who will
not take time from his tasks to cas-
his ballot; the housewife who think
that woman's place is in the home
the society woman who cannot b,
bothered; the average Tom, Dicl
and Harry who don't take enough in
, terest in the welfare of their commu
mites to keep informed of the tim,
and place of the elections. All o

honorable, patriotic citizen. Years of
honest life among us are discounted
and we begin to look upon him, too
often, with suspicion. Whatever he
does appears tinged with improper
consideration, done not wholly for
the public good. And despite all, the
man in public life today who does not
spend each waking hour in sincere
and unselfish endeavor to serve his
city, his state and his country is the
exception to the rule. The greater
proportion of mistakes made by men
in public Office are errors Of heart
and not Of head.
How many public servants, having
given the best that was in them to
the Office which they held, have been
returned to their neighbors broken
in health, sick at heart, misunder-
stood, their honesty smirched; left to
finish their barren days rejecting on
the acrid ingratitude of the public.
Stand BY Officials.
Individually we can correct this
condition by standing steadfastly by
the officials we have elected to public
Office. Doubtless we elected them
because we had faith in their judg-
ment. Doubtless we selected them
from among their fellows because Of
their fitness for the task and because
of their particular qualities as Amer
lean citizens. We cannot expect a
human being to be right all of the
time. We can expect him to be hui
manly honest and sincere and hui
manly fallible.
America is secure against assaults
from without. If that majestic struc-
ture which has been reared by dint
of so much suffering and sacrifice
ever crumbles it will be but the re-
suit of the careless Indifference OF
the individual American into whose
keeping has come this greatest of all
responsibilities.

Here's one they tell on a noted

these constitute an alarming proper
tion of our adult citizenry who have
a right to exercise share in the di-
rection Of our political deStinieS, but
do not.
There is not an ill in American life
today which cannot be cured, and
cured promptly, if each voter will in
form himself as to issues with the
means at his immediate disposal.
There is not a weakness in our social
structure which cannot be bolstered
if individually and conscientiouSly we
try to discharge the obligations and
exercise the privileges granted US by
the Constitution of our United States.
Political bosses, machine rule and
graft are impossible in that commu-
nifty where the citizens are awake to
their responsibilities; where they
measure up TO the obligation resting
upon the individual. In every COM
munity there is that element, always
in the minority but bound together by
selfish interests, thriving upon cor
ruption of public officials and special
privileges, the very existence of
which is a malicious menace to DEM
ocratic institutions. In the lowest
classes of society there is a danger
Gus criminal element, ever crouched
to spring at the throat of decent So
ciety and to fatten itself from the IT.
suits of riot, turmoil and destruction.
Well organized governments are
constantly alert to curb these ele-
ments, They have but little hope of
success by an open breach of the
peace. Driven to cover and cowed to
sullen observance Of the most OBJ
viouS forms of law and order, they
work to bring about their ends by
more devious routes. These hardy
partisans are present in force at the
polls. They are never too busy to
cast their ballots. They are never
too busy to lavish time and effort for
! the candidate who will best serve
their needs. They are clamorously
1 in line when the rewards are being
distributed.
Unfair Attacks Made.
The responsibility Of the individual
does not, however, cease with the
casting of his ballot nor does it be-
gin there, 1t begins first in develop
ment of a proper attitude toward our
public institutions and toward our
public representatives. Office holders
! in the United States have borne such
attack and Misrepresentation and
| have become the target of such des-
| tructive bombardment that it is al
| most impossible to get the right kind
Of men to list themselves for Office
or to accept public appointment. Po-
litical campaigns though forced to
disinfection in recent years, are yet
too frequently perfervid competi-
| tions in personal villlficatlon A man
lof ideals, offering himself for public
office must be unhesitant to with
stand misrepresentation; to have his
motives questioned; to have the most
intimate details Of his personal and
private life stripped and distorted to
satisfy the passion of that breed of
politician to whom nothing is clean.
As individuals we can force whole
some conditions in American life by
fatty refusing to associate ourselves
with political followings in which
such damnably debased tactics are
countenanced.

More than once the editor Of

send warnings of forthcoming dis
charge to a certain country cores
pondent who persistently neglected
to use names in his stories. That the
warnings were not without effect was
evidenced with the receipt Of this dis
