VOTE ON DAYLIGHT
SAVING and MILK LAW
ON MONDAY, DEC. I

A proclamation was issued by Gov.
Brewster Thursday calling special
election to be held Monday. Dec. Z. on
two measures passed at the last ses-
sion of the legislature.
These measures were an act MAX
ing it unlawful for any town or other
municipality to vote for or otherwise
establish any other system of time
than standard time and an act to de-
fine certain grades of milk offered for
sale within the state.
The law stipulates that no election
can be held in matters of this kind
until four months after the procla-
nation of the governor.
Petitions bearing more than 10000
signatures were filed at the depart
ment of state asking for referen-
dunn on these two questions. 1t was
though by some that the people
would vote on these questions at the
regular state election which will be
held in September, 1926.

uel D. Warriner, chairman of the

WHERE SENATOR REED
MAKES A MISTAKE

According to Senator Reed, the
World Court would be either an in,
ternational invertcbrate or an inter
national tyrant
Which is the Supreme Court cf
the United States?
1t has no power to enforce its de-
crees, and yet it is not invartabrate.
1t has jurisdiction to inyalidate
the laws of sovereign states. and vet
It is not a tyrant.
The World Court has no iuridsjic-
tion over any state except as that
state gives it to it.
The United States has been the
very pioneer in giving such jurisdic.
ton to an international tribunal,
and in accepting its decision, even
when they are unwelcome.
If you wish to argue that he PEI
r-anent court of interaa;l nal IS
tice is not so good a tribunal as TIE
Hague panel court, to with v al
ready belong, that argument if any
body makes it, would be entitled to
a hearing.
But if you argue against the
World Court merely because it is an
international tribunal, and you do
not believe in such tribunals, that
issues is "res adjudicata.
Senator Reed will understand that
legal phrase. Tt means that the case
has already been decided and is no
longer open to discussion.

THE UN-AMERICAN OF
OUR 100 PER CENTFRS

Besides, there is no issue as to
what the World Court 'would" be.
Ii 'is."
America may go into it or stay
out of it, but the court is there. eth
er way, with jurisdiction over the
rest of the world, accepted by it rs
the final authority to detehmine the
law of nations.
We can, for the first time in our
history, keep our own International
cases out Of international treatment.
but we can not alter the fact that
the principles governing all such
cases will be the ones laid down in
other cases by this tribunal.
BY these principles we shall be
judged at the bar of that "opinion
of mankind" which We recognized in
the very act Of our national birth.
We have the physical force to de
fly that opinion, but we have always
preferred lhe attitude Of decent re-
spect' to it.
The Isolationist attitude toward
