INTERNATIONAL COURT
CAUSES TERRIBLE ROW
IN REPUBLICAN RANKS
Hinted Lodge Among Those To
Reject President Harding's
Proposition
RANKED AS MEDIOCRITY
Has Raised Serious Issue In Own
Party-Nunbers DON'T Want
Him a Second Term

WASHINGTON, March SO. -
President Harding's proposal for
American representation in the IN
ternational Court Of Justice has fur
nished the makings of terrible row
in his own party and given the irre-
concilables and other Republicans
who don't want him renominated, a
fine excuse for repudiating and at
tacking him.
1t is already redictod-and with
a good deal of basis that Senator
Lodge will be among those who will
ultimately vote to reject Mr.. Hard
ing's proposition for American par
ticipation in the stabiization of Eu-
rope The Boston Transcript, which
is a fervent supporter of Mr.. Lodge,
is hostile to President Harding's rec
ommendation with regard to the In
ternationaI court Several other i'm
portant newspapers in Massachusetts,
following the cue OF the Transcript,
are also deprecatory Of the presi-
dent and openly antagonistic to his
plan for giving officials recognition
to the tribunal To these may be
added the New York Herald and 9TH
er Republican journals Of consider
able Influence.
The Republican senate entertains
and has manifested but little respect
for President Harding. Those Re-
publicans who served with him when
he was a senator have never express
ed admiration for his profundity or
DILIGENCE in the matter Of this coun'
tYy's foreign relations. Many OF
them, including Lodge, Moses, and
Brandegee, have no very flatterlng
opinion of Mr.. Harding's inteliec--
tuaI gifts. They have never ceased
to be restive under the leadership OF
a former associate whom they rank
ed and treated as one of the sem
ate's medicrities.
President Harding has simply add
ed to the cleavages in his party,
both in congress and outside OF IT,
Already there was the grand DIVISION
between reactionaries and radlca!
and moderate progressives, and be-
sides that the demarcation between
the advocates of American interest
and participation in the affairs OF
the world and those who oppose any
Thing Of the sort. There are two
incompatible schools Of economic
thought in the Republican family,
too. President Harding has all along
Identified himself with the eastern
reactionary group. This has made
him Objectionable TO western Repno-
iicans without at the same having
committed the eastern elements to
his denomination and reelection.
From the viewpoint of the Repub-
1ican noliticians in congress President
Harding has raised a serious issue IN
bis own party and increased the
number nm of Republicans who don't
want him for a second term

R0UNTREE WANTS
FEE TEXTBOOK.

SUMMIT, March 3G.-The free
text book bill, beginning with the
first grade and adding one grade
each year until all of the elementary
grades have been supplied, is to be
re-introduced at the coming term of
the legislature by j. Leonard Roun-
tree, representative OF Emanuel
county, he says
This bill, which was known as the
Walker bill, passed the
senate last year but failed to go
through the house of representatives,
Mr. Rountree states, adding that
second effort is to be made at the
coming term.
Mr.. Rountree indicates that he
might urge the passage of such
legislation as would consolidate the
offices of county treasurer, tax col
lector and tax receiver, causing the
office to pay sufficient salary to COW
er the work now done by the three
officers.
Such action, says Mr.. Rountree,
would probably result in more eff
cheney and the saving Of thousands
Of dollars to the tax payers in the
different counties of the state"
This legislature will probably
abolish the tax equalization system,
Mr.. Rountree believes, "and adopt
the income tax to make up the de-
iciency in reven'7
Mr., Rountree is m favor of selling
the state farm, he announces, adding
that the logical location for such a
farm is in South Georgia where the
land is level and more modern farm
ing methods may be used.
He is strongly in favor of biennial
sessions Of the legislature he states,
contending that annual Sessions are
needless waste of the peoples
money.
The legislature will not be inter
ested in the capital removal ques-
ton, he thinks, adding that he has
no objection to submitting the prob
lem to the people.

THE LAW . DELAY.

The daily press continues to report
an occasional lynching mot always in
the south.
For years it was the favorite past
time of certain northern editors to
flay the south because of its lynch
ings. Then the north began to feel
lonesome, and adopted the lynching
habit itself. Sheriffs and courts and
juries in the south didn It always both
er to punish the lynchers. Perhaps
they felt that there was some moral
justification for the infliction of such
summary punishment.
Again the north in time became
lonesome, and now many of its off
Gals are conveniently deaf, dumb and
blind in the matter of punishment
where the people have resorted to mob
law. AS a matter of fact, human ma
ture is the same all over this country
of ours-north, south, east, west, or
in the middle.
When the law repeatedly and flag
rantly fails to mete out punishment to
a certain class of criminals it is not
strange that people can be found with
the viii to take the law into their
own hands. We condemn mob law,
and it is right that we should, but we
should remember that mob vengeance
is seldom wreaked upon the innocent.
Human passions are only aroused to
such point by the acts of human
fiends who have no moral right to
live
The responsibility of mob law lies
at the door of legal law, which dismal
ly fails to convict and adequately
punish in proportion to the crime.
When the laws of the land are I'M
partially and theoretically enforced
we have no more incentive to lynch
ings.
These may be unpalatable truths,
but they are nevertheless truths that
can not be refuted.
