In the last weekend Senator IN
derwood, in discussing the UBIQUITOUS
tariff scheme to hold up the people
for the benefit Of the special manu-
featuring interests, said: ..'This bill in
the form presented by the finance
committee is beaten. ***** Every
where in primary contests, where it
has been made an issue, it's propon-
ents have met with disaster. The
press Of the country is against it al
most unanimously" Yet, all except
eight of the sixty Republicans in the
Senate would force this bill through
under gag rule-that is without ex-
tended discussion.

Senator Lenroot, of Wisconsin, last
week served notice that unless some
of the high duties proposed in the
Fordney- Nc umber tariff bill, which
the Republican majority has been try
ing to force through under the gag
rule, are reduced, he will reserve the
right to vote against the measure.
The question is-which one of the in
terests which footed the campaign
bill, will submit to the reduction and
curtailing the profit of their invest
ment.

Real farmers. and there are many within

unaware of the number of acres OF culti-

CLARKE AND SUTHERLAND

QUALIFICATIONS VIII be general over
" the Presidents announcement that SO
able and iudicialy minded lawyer MS
George Sutherland Is to be appointed to
succeed Associate Justice John Ii. Clarke
on the Supreme Court bench.
Mr.. Sutherland, who served two terms
in the Senate from Utah and declined re.
nomination, has high standing at the bar.
He has been president of the American Bar
Association, an Office to which he would
not have been elected If he had not had the
respect and confidence of his fellow
lawyers. He was one of the technical nd
viscrs Of the United States during the Dis
armament Conference in Washington, and
he has in recent years been interested in
the great movements looking toward the
Application of sound and reasonable prn-
Cipcs to the solution of world problems.
He will take with him to the Supreme
Court bench high sense of public re.
sponsibility as we'll as n finely trained legal
mind. His appointment, following upon
that Of William II. Taft TO the chief
justiceship. gives ground for the belief that
President Harding can be trusted to fill
with able men whatever other judicial va.
rancics may occur during his term.
The case of Associate Justice Clarke Is
interesting. lIc has been on the Siprcmc
Court bench only six years. having been APP
pointed TO FIJI the vacancy caused hy the
resignation OF Mr.. Hughes IN 1916. lie
will not bc SiXtT-tive years old until Sep
tcmbcr Is, the date on which his resignation
becomes effective.
1t has rarely happened that man re.
signs from the Supreme Court, save for
physical disabilities The Justices usually
serve rs long rs they arc able 10 perform
their duties and they die In the harness.
The resignation of Mr. Hughes was exccp-
tonal, for he retired from the bench 10
become a candidate for the presidency.
Justice Clarke resigns IN order to devote
the rest OF his life to wider form of
public service than is possible to him when
confined by official duties. lie is said to
be particularly interested in the success of
the League Of Nations and he hopes to
do something toward strengthening the
demand in the United States that this
country become a member of the League
or of some other international association
formed to improve the relations among the
nations and to- discourage the settlement of
disputes by force. His active assistance
will be welcomed by all those who think
that gricvous error was made when the
Senate rejected the Versailles Treaty.

LITTLE NATIONS AND SURVIVAL

instance of the unintcllig igent ruthlcssncss of

gion whI.h was once the heart Of the great

Much has been heard Of the so-called

seems 10 be playing a game involving scaut

The flags Of iifty-one member nations

cred at this session are revision Of the
trouble making Article y. the extension of
the Washington naval reduction program to
nations not represented at the national caDi-
tai last winter, and disarmament and the
control Of the arms traffic.
This last subject will be discussed in a
special conference, which the League as
sembly is expected to authorize To this
meeting, which, although originating in the
League, will be adminstratiycly apart from
that body. the United States will be invited
to send delegates.
Possibly Americans arc not deeply inter-
cstcd in the aspirations Of the League. If
that is true it is incumbent upon somebody
to explain why seventy eight visitors seats.
more than those reserved for the citizens
of any other nation, were reserved for our
countrymen at Geneva.
The limitation is one of space, since II
has been reported that there were more mn
plCatiOns for observers chairs than could
be accommodated in the great Sale de la
Reformation.
If the League is dead, It must at least be
admitted that its obsequcs nre attracting
