It has been pointed out bow' re pugnant to 'American ideas of gov- ernment ft would be to have The Hague Tribunal given power to en force its decrees and replace the League of Nations with this court, or a similar court, as Senator Hard ing proposes to do. , Government by injunction, which; is government by a court, is a hateful thing to Ameri cans. . ' . ' Acording to our traditions and our principles, the executive powers, the legislative powers and the Judi cial' powers must be kept separate and distinct. These principles are fully, carried out in the League of Nations, which provides tor an In ternational Court of Justice; but not so with the Harding plan. Senator Harding himself shows this distinction plainly in his speech of August 28.-when he says: '.'The difference between'a Court of International Justice and the Council created by the League Covenant is simple but profound. The one is a Judicial , tribunal to be governed by fixed arid 'definite principles of law administered without passion or prejudice. The other is an associa tion of diplomats and politicians whose determinations are sure to be Influenced by considerations of ex pediency and national selfishness, Those Americans who wish a su per-government by injunction, an in ternational government by a court should support Mr. Harding. But those Americans who believe that courts domestic or international should be. confined to judicial func tions, who do not believe in govern ment by injunctionshould bury Mr, Harding under a wilderness of votes, I'm worth $10.00.

New York World Bays that Senator Harding's substitute for the League of Nations has been sunk without warning by Elihu Root, who not only torpedoed it but shelled the survivors. The Republican Candidate, who has a hard job to keep at .once the support of 'Johnson and Borah and other bitter-enders and the support of Taft, Wlckersham and other ad vocates of the League of Nations nailed his flag to a camouflaged ves sel, the International Court, to take the place of the League of Nations. Mr. Root, however, shows that the International Court that Senator Harding adopted a substitute for the League of Nations, is simply an in strument of that league, derives its power from the league and depends upon the league to give validity and force to its decisions. Until the Uni ted States joins the League of Na tions we will have no voice or power in forming the International Court Mr. Root certainly destroyed Sen ator Harding's pet idea without leav ing a trace.

Reports coming from division, county and community fairs from one end ot Tennessee to tne otner with few exceptions show that the attendance at these fairs this year has broken all previous records. Two of the big fairs held in the State during the past week were at Knoxvllle and Memphis and' both were successful beyond expectations, attendance records being smashed and the quality of products and live stock exhibited being far better than ever before. The 'quality of livestock of all kinds seen at the various fairs this year shows a vast improvement over previous years. This indicates that Tennessee breeders realize the folly of raising scrub stock instead of the higher grade, as the returns from the latter are more satisfactory and remunerative. A feature of the agricultural displays is the fact that most of the, exhibits seen at the fairs now are by farmers' organizations representing a certain community, or a community as a whole. It shows that, the farmers are finding that they can accomplish greater and bet' ter results by cooperating than they can, single handed and their exhibits at the fairs demonstrate that they are 'fighting' their problems in their communities1 together.
