THE WORLD COURT AND THE
LEAGUE OF NATIONS


BY w. A. Street, of BeIington, VIVA.
MR.. EDITOR 1T may seem pre-
sumptous, for a mediocre to attempt
to discuss this important question. 1t
is the most important matter that the
present Congress will be called on to
consider. 1t is one that will decide
weather or not we viii continue to
manage our own affairs, or not.
shall discuss this question from
the viewpoint of a member of the
Court of last resort-THE AMERI-
CAN PEOPLE.
At present we have two World
Courts" -one located at The Hague
in Holland, of which we have been
member since 1899; the other To-
Gated at Geneva, in Switzerland. 1t
is into this latter Court that inter-
ested parties are trying to inveigle
us. This Court is nothing more nor
less than the back door enterance"
to the League of Nations. The advo-
Gates of entering this Court are eth
er blind or dishonest. Woodrow Will
son, was honest and sincere in his de-
sire to enter the League by way of
the front door. He made hard, open
fight but lost Woodrow Wilson, was
martyr to principle. You say that
Wilson, was a great man. True, but
the greater the man, the greater the
mistake.
You ask {" Who are the parties, be-
hind this new court movement? They
are THE MONEY KINGS AND THE
COLLEGE PROFESSORS. You ask
'Who can prevent our entering this
new court you MY FELLOW A.
MEXICAN CITIZEN. You must get
busy and let your Senator'S know what
you think of this diabolical affair.
Write to them, talk plainly, make
them understand what you want them
to do. They are not your BOSS;
they are your servant Make them
understand this. There is nothing that
will make legislator watch his step
like letter from the "Home-foll1s. .
You may say "Bill, you are always
kicking" Yes whenever anything does
not suit me | intend to Kick until /
fall into the last ditch To read the
names Of some Of the members Of
this New World Court win make any
American kick. Here are few Of them

EXTRA SESSION IN TEXAS

AUSTIN, TEX, Dec. Financing
or underwriting Of the expenses Of
special session Of the Texas House Of
Representatives for impeachment pur-
poses from private or individual
sources is unauthorized and unwar-
ranted as against public policy, Attor-
ney General Dan Moody Of Texas rul-
ed tonight
The ruling was made at the request
Of the Satterwhite, speaker of the
House OF Representatives.
This opinion held there would be
no authority to issue warrants against
exhausted appropriations made for
the contingent expenses Of the Thirty
ninth Legislature to cover compensa-
ton of members Of the House, while
attending an impeachment session,
should it be called by the speaker.
It states that the attorney general
assumed that the speaker in his letter
made no reference to efficiency grant
ed by Governor Miriam A. Fergu-
son.
This opinion is taken here as tho
termination Of the proposed special
session Of the Legislature, which has
been agitated for some time.

that Tom, cat in HI without claws
This Court acts as an advisory body
to the League of Nations. Has this
Court acted on an important matter :?
Yes one. There arose dispute bet
ween Tunnis and Morocco, citizenship.
This Court decided that the question
of citizenship was not a domestic
question, but was an international
matter and must be settled by this
Court. Would we permit those Guys
with the unpronouncable names to
compel us to admit to citizenship,
Chinese and Japanese? If not don't
go into the World Court. This court
has settled three more important (?)
question. viz. ,a) A dispute about a
ship going through the Keil canal in
Germany. (b) About small sum of
money that Bulgaria owed Greece. tcl
A dispute over a franchise for water
works in the city Of Jerusalem.
As we are members of the Hague
Court, you ask "Have we taken any
cases to this court? President Roose-
welt, Taft, Wilson, and Harding, have
each taken cases before the Old Court
and had them satisfactorily settled.
We welcome commercial intercourse
with all nations but politically, we say
Hands off" We stand by the Holy
Bible, the Christian Religion, the Dec
laration Of independence, the Consti-
tuition and Old Glory. Regardless Of
race, creed or nationality, if you are
not for these, my advice to you Isl;

UNIVERSITY GETS ESQ
RARE BIBLBS

Balwine, Kan, Dec. Seine Of
the rarest Bibles in existence are con-
tanned in collection to be placed on
display here by Baker University.
The collection was willed to the in
stitution by the late Bishop William A.
Quayie, Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, graduate and at one time
president of Baker.
More than 225 rare editions, rang
ing in size from very minute copy
to the Synagogue Roll or Tora, which
is made from skins of thirty-seveu
animals and is hundred feet in
length, are in the group
The oldest Bible is Latin manu-
scrip Of 1925. In the Bishops cata-
logue, he referred to it as "a peiae
of illumination and chirography," and
seen its superior in the British mu-
scum. This rare volume is bound in
French repousse silver, some hundreds
of years old. 1t is illuminated in gold,
cardinal in blue and is made on abor-
tive parchment.
The Oldest printed Bible in the col
lection, the Eggesteyn, came from the
press in 1869, just thirteen years after
the first printed Bible. Eggesteyn, Of
Strasburg, was the printer OF the two
volume edition, Of which only the lat
ter is in the collection.

II must speak to you'll must" she
said, catching at his arm and draw
ing him toward the study. They
went in, and when the door was shut
she turned to him with the tears run
ming down her face.
Tony. you heard? / think he's
dead. That place downstairs was
mined, and he tried to kill us all, only
we got away, Henry. the girl, and !.
But JeTreys dead-yes, l think ne
must be dead, and / know now what
you thought. 1 didn't know what
you meant before, but l know now.
You were wrong, Tony. oh, Tony,
won't you believe me? | didn't tell
him about the passages, and / dldn
know anything until today. They
can tell you L was speaking the truth
Henry and Miss Molloy; but, oh,
Tony, can't you believe me, just me?"
Anthony looked at her, and looked.
His face was twitching. AS her voice
broke on the last two words he
dropped to his knees. flung his arms
about her, and hid his face in the
folds of her cloak.
BY the time that Jane and Henry
came into the house Blotson had set
all his machinery running once more.
He himself presented a magnificent
front to two os the most dishevelled
people whom he had ever been called
upon to receive. 1t was not until
afterward when 1t came home to
Henry how much green slim there
was in his wildly ruffied hair, and
how little the original color of his
collar could be discerned. that he
realized how marvellous had been the
untiinching calm of Blotson. He re-
ferred neither to the explosion nor
to Henry's appearance. In point of
fact what were emergencies and ac
cidents that Blotsop should notice
them? The hour being 5 o'clock, it
was his business to announce tea. He
announced it,
Tea is served In the library" he
said, and passed upon his way.
But in the library the tea cooled
while Henry, very much relieved to
find that the wires had not been cut,
galvanized the Withstead exchange
and got on to distinctly relieved Sir
Julian.
They arranged speaking in Italian,
that an explosion had occurred in
the course of an important expert
ment in Sir Williams laboratory. 1t
was agreed to notify Sir William and
the press. The loss of two lives was
greatly to be deplored. When this
was finished Piggy became less Off
cial.
THAT girl of yours is brick: you
can tell her so from me. She's all
right, / hope?'
Henry said Yes" that Jane was

CHAPTER xxx.

The last rumble of the explosion had
hardly died away before Anthony Lut-
trell had flung open the study door
and was making his way at a run
toward the Yellow Drawing Room.
At the glass door which led on to
the terrace he halted opened it wide,
and stood on the step looking out
Some glass was still falling from the
broken windows on this side of the
house. All the terrace on the right
of where he stood was like drawing
in which the perspective has gone
wrong. There was great bulge In
one place, and some of the paving
stones were tilted aslant, whilst
others had fallen in, leaving gaping
hole over which a cloud of dust was
settling.
Anthony turned his back upon all
this and came back with great strides
into the hall. Without so much as a
look behind him to see whether ne
was observed, he loosened the spring,
pushed open the door in the panellns
and there halted, suddenly remember
ing the need of light. He went back
for a torch, and then passed down the
steps without waiting to close the
door.
That something appalling had hap
pened was obvious. With the self
control without which it is impossible
TO meet an emergency Anthony kept
his thought focused upon what ne
was doing. At the bottom OF the
stems the way was still clear. He
saw James broken pots and wondered
what on earth they were doing there
Then he turned into the laboratory
massage flashing the light ahead OF
him. Halfway along the passage
the roof had fallen in.
Anthony turned, came back INTO
the main corridor, ran along 1t until
he came to the place where the well
passage joined it. Here he turned
off, made his way cautiously past
the we'll and again found mass OF
stone and rubble blocking his path.
A cold horror came over him, and all
those thoughts to which he hau
barred his mind came insistentiy
nearer. pressing past those barriers
and taking his consciousness by
storm. He came back into the hail
and shut the door in the panelling.
The hall was quite empty, but the
voice of Blotson could be heard at
no great distance. 1t was raised in
exhortation and rebuke. Obviously
he rallied a staff which inclined to
hysteria, for one could hear wom-
ans sob and subdued chorus OF
perturbation and nervous inquiry.
Anthony went to the front door
and flung it open. His car stood at
a little distance, the inspector and
the chauffeur in close conversation.
Anthony did not see them. He only
saw Raymond Heritage, who was
coming slowly up the steps. She was
bareheaded, and her face was very
pale. She wore white dress with
II black cloak over it. She stumbled
twice as she climbed the steps and,
If Anthony was only conscious of see
ing her, she did not appear to be con-
scious of seeing any one at all.
It was only when the hand which
she put out in front of her actually
touched Anthony that she lifted her
eyes and looked at him. Then she
said in an odd, piteous sort of voice:
Tony"

CONTINUED from Yesterdays starr

Henry pushed Jane, through the
opening, flung his arm round Ray
mond, dragged her through and
slammed the stone into place. They
were in the narrow alleyway between
the row of veronica bushes and the
terrace wall. on the spot where Mr..
George Patterson had stood listen
ing to Raymond's voice. The air, the
daylight, the mist, seemed wonderful
beyond words. Jane never again be-
held mist without remembering
that joyful lift of the heart which
came to her when the stone shut
and she drew her first long, free
breath. Henry gave her no time to
SAVIOUR the joys of freedom.
Run, run like blazes!" he shouted.
Jane ran. Once she started she
felt as if nothing would ever stop
her She heard Henry just behind
her; she heard him urging Raymond
on. and they came out of the alley
way round the end of the terrace.
Then it came.
The ground shook: there was a
long. heavy rumble that died slowly.
Then with a terrific crash two of the
stone urns along the terrace wall fell
and broke. AS the noise ebbed there
came the tinkling sound of splintered
glass falling upon stone.
Jane stopped running as if she had
been shot and reeled up against
Henry, who put his arms round her
and held her tight. Up to that very
moment the feeling of unreality, of
playing a part in a play for which
she had no responsibility whilst her
real self looked on remotely-this
feeling had dominated her. Now IT
was as if the curtain fell and she,
Jane, was left cropping amongst
events that terrified her. She trem-
bled very much, and clung to Henry,
who was at that moment the one
really safe and solid thing within
reach.
Raymond did not pause or turn her
head, but walked straight on toward
the house

think she's gone to get something"
In the middle of Piggy's subsequent
instructions Jane came back. She
held bundle OF closely written
sheets. She spread them before
Henry's eyes, holding them fan-wise
like a hand at cards.
I'D forgotten them till you said
that about the papers-Td actually
forgotten them. It's lists of his
agents in all the big towns every
where. 1 sat up all night copying
them because didn't dare keep the
originals. I keep forgetting you don't
know what's been happening. But
tell him, Henry, tell him we've got
the lists"
Henry told him.
Jane heard Sir Julian answer, and
then Henry hung up the receiver and
hugged her.
What did he say? Henry, you're
breaking my ribs! What did he say?'
Jane, you're n brick, and a wonder,
Evening star., 1925-03-25

quite all right. He sounded a trine
puzzled.
Piggy laughed.
Didn't you know she had rung me
up to say you'd been nobbled? Most
businesslike communication I've ever
had from a lady in all my life. Told
me they'd got a motor boat in With
stead Cove. And, thanks to her, we
ought to have gathered 1t in. I got
through to the coast guard station at
once. Now look here, what's the like
lihooG of laying hands on Ember's
papers,"
"Ember's papers?" repeated Henry.
well, there was a safe down there,
and that's where he'd be most likely
to keep them; but / expect they're
all gone to blazes, as the door was
open"
At this point James voice came in
breathlessly:
Henry, wait, keep him on the line!"
she said, and was gone.
It's Jane, SIR said Henry. IL
