Ol'KMNCi TODAY
The grand opening of the fltjht to
enlist tho I'nltod States anions; 1 lio
nations having adhesion to the
World Court begins In tho Sonata
today and doubtless will bo ono of
the. most, notable forensic battles In
the history of Concrcss rlnce the
close of tho war. Advocates of the
World Court anticipate a final vic
tory, but oiiRht not to be overeon-
flJr n t .
One of I ho reasons for the pre
valcnt belief Hint opponent 0C tho
bride that ho had had seven chil
dren all living by his former
wife. Hot inch a little delall Is not
enough, to discourage Cupid when
cnpld is out cunning for victims.
Why nrs people In such u hurry
to get man-led. or to Ret married
upon such slight acquaintance
ship? It must be a slirn of despera
tion, a decision that quick action
is necessary or nil is lost. And
thero Is always a certain amount
of publicity about It. The horrid
newspaper buys, when they dis
cover a farmer camo to town in
search of a wife and found ono In
a few hours, usually plve evidence
they "know a good story when
they see It" and are Insistent for
pictures of the blushing bride and
Hie eoucjuorlntr bridegroom. .Some
smitten swains of CO years do not
like that hind of publicity, and It
may be for this reason that they
do not pet married after a fhort
courtship; nt least, they subdue
themselves eno'iyh to wait two or
three weeks.
Holy matrimony is something
that should not be nt tempted ex
cept after due deliberation and
careful circumspection of tho party
of the other part. Getting married
after an acquaintanceship of 15
minutes or a few hours In the
minds of many Is considered mak
ing a farco out of It. However,
such disciples of quick action as
insist upon It will get the usual
best wishes.

Phillips
in former years lies in the fact
i hat adhesion to (he court has be
come a major administration policy
and at the same tima Is the desire
of most of the Democratic sena
tors. Tn view of the situation It is
ili.'lieult to see how the opponents
of Hie court idea can win except by
a filibuster, and this is said to be
unlikely. The chief fight will be
over reservations which sundry
Senators think ought to be at
tached to (ho resolution.
Reservations which are unac
ceptable to tho court or League of
Nations would be a waste of time
lo pass. 1! hi -hooves the Senate,
therefore, to move forward with
the utmost circumspection and
clit'.g to what has beeeme known
as thn llarding-llughes-Coolidge
plan of entry into the court.
A si;:n nf the tii,,es is the atti
tude of Senator I' poor of Penn
sylvania, who with Senator Lodge,
was one of those, who originally
suggested adhesion lo the court un
der reservations that were designed
lo be unacceptable to the League
or eotit't. Senator 1'' ppi r has radi
cally changed his stand nnd is in
favor of entering the court Willi
1ac ri .sanation that the I'tiited
S.r.;es will e.'t be hi n.id by any de
i isiotis tiuee'iue; the Monroe Jiuc-
capltallHls; when Philadelphia
capitalists were starting plans lo
build a line west from, (hat i-ily,
now the Pennsylvania; when New
Yorkers ture bury on plans that
eventually brought about (he New
York Central. Hut In that year
In 1S3- a nit mortal was pre
sented to the Connecticut legisla
ture in opposition to the Incorpora
tion of a railroad between Hart
ford and New Haven, vhlrh
claimed the railroad "vrull pro
duce more harm than cood and
may result In great injury lo prl
atc properly." Tho memorial
went on lo say a railroad is a nat
ural monopoly, wdille on a canal or
turnpike everyone has a right to
use his own vehluN. The owner
ship would be vosii1 In the panic
men who had already established
such a monopoly between New
York and Philadelphia, and event
ually, if tho lino reached Jioston,
a person traveling between Wash
ington and lloston would have to
pay such charges as tho owners
cared to levy. And the memorial
concluded wdth these words:
"By the grant now contem
plated, four turnpike compan
ies between New Haven and
Hartford in which many wid
ows, orphans and persons in
moderate circumstances have
invested their property, the
steam navigation between
Hartford and New York, and
steamboats between the latter
city and New Haven, and many
other of the vested interests
of our citizens would be utter
ly destroyed."
This sounds something like the
argument, heaid ever and anon to
day regarding the contemplated
destruction of th "Interests of
-widows, orphans and persons in
moderate circumstances" in the
railroad lines by the great develop
ment of highway busses and truck
lines.
In the old days the Interests of
these persons eventually were de-
Istroyed by tho construction of
