May Head World Court.

~ HE report comes from Paris that Elihu Root
is the probable choice as the first president
OF the international court Of justice which will
be established by the league Of nations at its meet
ing next month. This would be deserved COM
pliment to Mr.. Root and one wholly personal to
him and in spite Of the fact that the United States
will not be member. It would, too, be a cause
for pride to all Americans. r.
When the plan for this court undertaken,
Mr.. Root was unofficially called in consultation.
He took 30 large part in framing what is prac-
tically an international charter for such court.
that it is commonly called by his name At that
timerit was generally believed this country would
be member, though later events seemed to point
otherwise. But this was not all of Mr.. Roots
service in establishing world tribunal of justice
1t has been the object of his efforts for many
years Probably other man has given it so
much of study and research, nor brought to it so
profound a knowledge, not only of international
law, but of international affairs and diplomacy.
Mr.. Root had much to do with forming The Hague
tribunal as court of arbitration He had hoped
that it would be jursdctional court but the jeal-
ousies of small nations prevented this, as we'll as
the suspicious of large nations.
The Hague, however, used in nominating
judges for this present court and from the list
submitted the council and assembly are to elect,
while The Hague tribunal becomes the arbitral
adjunct Although this government stands apart,
Mr.. Root has been nominated by several other
countries. His election is considered assured and
if chosen as president it will be not alone the
highest recognition which could come to him inter
nationally, but an honor which will round out his
very remarkable career of varied public service.
1t was his contention from the first that the
league of nations must be founded upon interna-
tional law. He believed that such court this
now to be established, should be its chief feature.
He has had the practical experience which showed
that the greatest difficulty in the choice OF
judges. For this he used the league where all the
member nations have equal voting power, and
where it was then believed all nations would soon
be represented. 1t was the only available agency
to bring such court into being
AS fact if it had the right OF summons, if it
had the right to compel appearance, or to render a
decision in default upon refusal to appear as have
national courts OF justice and is in the Root
draft, it would be greater peace agency than its
parent can ever be. The league could then be-
come but legislative body. There could be no
charge Of supergovernment all governments
bound and restricted by their treaties. 1t would
appear to have been Mr.. Roots view that the
court would remove all objections to the league
and so modify the covenant to make many of
its articles easily repealed. That he should be the
courts first president would be most fitting and
it would instantly give it international confidence.

Refusing the Right to Vote.

r HERE may be a philosophy psychology, or
i some other big word, back of all the toe
common Congressional practice of merely prevent.
ing vote on pending measure. This is frequently
done after debate practically has closed after the
real last word is ssid after every member OF SEN
ate or House knows how he will vote and why, and
after measures tactical position makes objection
merely effect delay.
Such tactics have repeatedly delayed the vote in
the Senate the prohibition enforcement law
amendment. 1t has gone to the length of pre-
venting Senator Sterling in charge of the measure
attending the international legislative conference in
Sweden, or quite beyond customary Senatorial
courtesy. If there Senator who was
not ready to vote, who had not decided what his
vote would be, there might be some excuse. AS it
is, delay is merely attempt to prohibit the
right to vote.
In this, it goes beyond any inhibition of per-
sonar liberty charged by the opponents of the
measure. The right TO register vote in Congress
upon any measure of any importance, demanded by
considerable body of the people, is certainly as
sacred and important the right to vote for or
against candidates for Congress. Its denial on
mere personal objection by those who make a
shibboleth OF personal liberty" is hardly con-
sistent. a. -.
