Blue Valley prices and service were
not the best in their part of the coun-

farming.
Any man who thinks for himself
can readily figure out that Blue Val

three years and every year enjoy the
confidence and patronage of an in
creasing number of farmers, if it's
record for prices and service in the

vice when he gets them.
He resents trickery and unfairness
as much in the corn belt as in the

just as quickly in the one place as in

n EACTION of public sentiment TO
X President Harding's address on the
i Y Permanent International Court of
Justice, at the Associated Press
luncheon in New York, is classed by non
partisan observers to be favorable, "by a
large majority" to the administrations
States to the court. Dissenting opinion,
however, makes up in spiritedness and ag-
gressiveness what it lacks in volume.
Several men who attended the luncheon
to observe critically its effect upon the pub
fishers and editors present concur in the
statement that the plan, explained and
analyzed by the President made favorable
impression on the gathering. Editorial COM
ment in much more than the major part in
the past few days has supported the admin
istration's plan.
More than this it is ascertained in can
vass by senators that the proposition bids
fair to be accepted by the Senate at the next
session Of Congress- 1t has been found that
some senator's who, when the subject was
first broached to the Senate by President
Harding, looked down the nose at it,
now disposed to find it acceptable, in view
OF the explanations of the President, Sccre
tary Hughes, Elihu Root and others, and
upon critical study of the reservations to be
proposed to the instrument of acceptance.

There remain then, if this favorable fore

some quarters come direful prophecies of
split in the party which have increased in
gloom though not appreciably in the number

have been added the aggressive attacks upon
the plan by Senator Borah and Senator

Seeing Washington Is Matter
Of Long and Intense Study

The hurrying tourist with only a
quick glance here and there does not
really see the National Capital. Nor
do many others who live here, carry
ing out the purpose for which this
city was built, helping Uncle Sam
carry on the nations business. The
reason that they do not see the real
Washington is because this city. its
institutions, its buildings. their deco
ration and statuary, are all allegori-
cal, having a hidden. meaning and
preachment. Only the close student
gets this-those who stay here to
worship at the nations shrine.
Take as a single illustration the
House wing of the Capitol building,
statuary of the pediment of the

ly capitol building in the world, which
has become the model for capitol
buildings everywhere.

work of the American sculptor, Paul

and laborers can find in these groups

The printer. the iron worker, the
founder, can do the same. and enjoy
the same profound satisfaction. The

of textiles, will observe that she has
not been forgotten, and those who are
devoted to the sea can discover a
group, which will remind them of the
joys of their vocation.
The purpose Of this comment on the
finishing statuary pediment on the
Capitol is to arouse visitors and resi-
dents to a realization that in seeing

Secretary Hughes has answered the ques-
tion naturally to be propounded. What is
the necessity for Permanent International
Court of Justice? He replies that there are
controversies between nations which should
he decided by court. There are interna-
tional contracts or treaties, now more
numerous than ever, to be interpreted.
Recognizing the difference between questions
of legal nature and questions of policy,
there has emerged from the discussions of
jurists an agreement defining justiciable dis
putes as those which relate to the interpre-
tation of a treaty, to any question of inter
national law, to the existence of facts which
would constitute breach of an international
obligation or to the reparation to be made
for such breaches"
Other questions may be submitted for
decision," Secretary Hughes continues, but
questions of the sort above described are
nlanifestly Of the same character as those
which in all civilized countries are recognized
as matters for determination by judicial
tribunals whose impartial judgment affords
the nearest human approach to absolute

Mr. Root, in his definition of the neces-

and by giving to that force institutions
through which it may be applied. One of

Much of the prophecy of evil to befall the
republican party by attacks upon the world
court plan from republican sources is based
upon the assumption that these attacks will
feed the fame of dissension and eventually
cause split John T. Adams, chairman of
the republican national committee, does not
agree with this line of argument. There is
no serious division in the republican party
upon fundamentals" he says. Freedom of
discussion within the party has always been
good republican practice. Nothing but
strength for the party and good for the
country can come from a free exchange OF
opinion on all public questions"

changes of opinion on this question. An

Turkey to Frances own ends. AS a

The Turks at Lausanne have frank

is none OF Frances business. And
that's that. 1t remains to be seen.

effort to peaceably maintain conces-
sions granted to French fnanciers

French government has temporized

this has been to undermine British in

French interests to the disadvantage
Of British. France even went SO far
during the hours of peril at Chanak
as to withdraw her troops. 80 as not
to be placed in an embarrassing po-
sition in case the Arm British de-

Tho French already had withdrawn
from Cilicia and reduced her holding
in Smyrna in effort to perpetuate
favor at Angora and obtain a lions
share Of concessions in undeveloped
Turkey, concessions which she had
every right to expect. because of the
inf1ltration of French commercial and
financial interests throughout tho
near east. Whether or not the Turks
