ITO maintain any semblance of walking in this
age is to be subjected to the raucous horns and
voices of the occupants of the death-wagons, who
seem to have arrived at a diseased mental agree.
ment that pedestrians have no rights on earth
whatever other than to hop, skip and jump out
of their way. The very thoughts of any ones be-
ing privileged to walk unless under the club of
the police takes us back to the long ago, the days
of good breeding, when courteous coachmen
would rein up their prancing steeds to let the
passer-by 60 on. Did any one ever hear of a
chauffeur's doing such a thing? No, never! In
stead, you are greeted with impudent ire that

"Hence the difference of today and the yes
terday of long ago; and the consequences are
that everywhere we can boast of an epidemic Of
p~aralytic strokes and nervous prostrations, due
TO the greed of state or municipal government
which persists in issuing licenses to more death
wagons than the city will accommodate, proving
contempt for the safety of the walking populace
who today cannot put foot off n sidewalk with
out having death aiming straight at them from
the north. south, east and west. The pedestrian
on the streets today never knows whether he will
get home or land in the morgue. No wonder the
hospitals and asylums are packed beyond ca
pacity."

relief from pent up and outraged feelings. She

She happened to come largely in contact with
the "others" on this occasion.
Some day, the automobile problem will have

accidents occasioned. But it is not now. Later
perhaps. But just such complaints, as this lady

High Court of Nations

American statesmen who have favored the
idea of a high court of nations or an Internal.
ional tribunal of arbitration for the %adjudica-
ton of controversies between nations and as a
means of preventing war, have never set up the
claim of originating the idea. Men like Taft,
Root, Hughes, Harding Coolidge, and the many
others, have to an extent elaborated the idea and
favored its establishment. The idea, itself, is
possibly of more ancient date than there is any
record of, for we are told there is nothing new
under the sun, and surely som wise man away
back in the day before written history, saw the
futility of war and expressed his opinion of IL.
The argument for such a court as President
Harding proposed and would have sponsored.
had he lived, made by John Noble at a meeting
of the "National Association for the Promotion
of Political Science" held at Edinburg in 1863,
is as good today, in present circumstances, as it
was in the day he so clearly set it forth in his
paper on can international Congress and Tri-
bunal for the Prevention of War"
At the time Mr.. Noble read his paper the
American Civil War was raging and Europe had
had a surfeit of conflict in the years preceding,
and the sam thought was uppermost in the
minds of many forward looking statesmen. AT
the time, there was lacking a sufficiently strong
power to put the idea into effect, provided in
ternational relations had been such as to make
it possible. Nations are closer together in this
day and transportation and communication
much improved over 1868, and ii is now a much
more favorable time in the worlds history to
establish such an institution as suggested.
A summary of Mr.. Mobiles paper is here
given:
"After some Introductory remarks on the evils
connected with war, Mr.. Noble proceeded to say
that his object was not so much to enlarge on
remedy, viz, the substitution of arbitration for
war. If, at the conclusion of n war, negotiation.
and even arbitration, were found necessary, why
not provide an effective means of arbitration
to prevent the effusion of blood? The ~constitu-
ton of a tribunal competent to deal with inter
national disputes, whose authority would be
, 1923-09-21

by the common consent Of all civil
lied governments, would be a most important
problem and governments would act more wise
ly in solving it than in augmenting their arma-
ments.
"were a tribunal provided to which Internal
ional differences could be referred, the result
would be 10 infuse a spirit Of moderation into
the councils of nations, and thus to act as a
powerful preventive of war. Why, then, not in
sist upon the constitution for this purpose of a.
high court of nations? Such a court of represen-
~taitves, deputed by the various civilized govern
ments, composed of statesmen eminent for their
knowledge of international law, for the wisdom
and moderation of their counsels, and for the
integrity with which they would pursue their
functions, would form a tribunal to which any
question in dispute might with safety be refer
red. Constituted by common consent, Its deci-
sions would be treated with universal respect
and the entire moral force of Europe would be
enlisted in its support. The functions of such Il
court would be strictly confined to international
disputes and he thought the friends of peace in
all countries should urge upon their respective
governments the assembling of a congress, whose
task should be the formation of such an Internal
ional tribunal, and, where necessary, the amend
ment of international law.
''Thc objections Mr.. Noble anticipated to the
proposal in question were that it was impractic-
able; that it would be impossible to insure its eff.
ficient working; that nations would be found
who would refuse to obey its judgments, and that
war would still continue to exist. He briefly com.
bated these objections and proceeded to say that
among the numerous advantages of the proposed
scheme not the least would be the fact that, by
appealing to a judicial tribunal nations would
be more moderate and just in their demands, the
quarrel heing removed from the domain of force
to that of morals. Another advantage would be
found in an arrangement that would certainly
flow from the realization of this plan for a mu,
tual reduction of ornaments, and nations would
cease from the present senseless rivalry, and
divert a large proportion of those energies now
worse than wasted upon instruments of destruc.
ton into peaceful channels"

In the death of Senator John J..
Miller, of Rappahannock county, the
state has suffered a great loss,
Senator Miller has always taken an
active interest in the advancement of
Virginia. He served with distinction,
first in the House and then in the
Senate. He was considered one of the
ablest business men in either branch
of the General Assembly, and he en-
joyed the fullest confidence and re-
spect of his colleagues.
AS one of the most successful or
chardists and farmers in Virginia, his
knowledge of agricultural conditions
enabled him to render most valuable
service in the advancement of the in
terests of the farmers.
He was gentleman of the old Vir-
|ginia school-courteous, fair and con-
siderate to all with whom he came in
contact.
He will be missed in the public life
LOT Virginia. But within the loving
circle of his intimate friends his loss
will leave a gap which only the pro-
Igress OF many years can alleviate
Winchester Star.
Senator Miller was a brother of Mrs.
A. I Bolts, of Woodsville, Kappa.
hammock County, and an uncle of Mrs.
| j. G. Graveley, of Woodstock.
Mr.. and Mrs. Graveley returned from
Rappahannock County Sunday after
attending the funeral.
