The Senate reservation which the majority of the nations in the League declined to accept does not offer an insuperable obstacle to agreement. It is the fifth reservation, which forbids the Council of the League to seek an advisory opinion from the Court on any question in which the Tnited States may claim an interest. The objecting nations think that this gives the United Stales too much1 power to restrict the action of the Council. They say that the United States could exercise this right of in terference in such a way as to make it a practical veto. There is un doubtedly ground for the objection. Mr. Kellogg suggests that an in formal conference might lead to the formulating of a reservation in such a way as To protect all the vital rights and interests of the United States and at the same time be un objectionable to the League mem bers. Although the State Department lias denied the report that Mr. Elihu Root, who has gone abroad osten sibly U participate in deliberations -'looking to the revision of the Court's j protocol, is a formal representative ot trie lioverniijeni, yet 11 is under stood generally that he will endeav or to forward the object that Mr. Kellogg has in mind. He consulted with the President and Secretary of 1 State before leaving, and the purpose of his visit is in line with the object of the administration. The accomplishing of the object of Mr. Kelh.gg's note would supplement the treaty outlawing war. It would do much to give practical effect to that treaty because it would make the United States a participant and a supporter of the World Court, the international tribunal which is charged with the legal settlement of international disputes, and with the codification, interpretation and ap plication of international law. It of fers the strongest hope for the sub stitution of reason and law for the sword in settling differences between the nations. It is permanently work- jing to establish a higher civilization among all the nations. If a reasonable formula lor pro tecting the rights and interests of the United States is devised, it is difficult to see how the Senate can reject it. It has approved the multiple treaty outlawing war as a national policy, and it cannot logically reject a reas onable proposition for the participa tion of the United States in the work of a court designed to adjudicate dis putes which might lead to war. The Senate has changed since the days of the rule of the irreconcilables who would not listen to any proposal to put the United States into either the council of the court, established by the international covenant of peace and the League of Nations. The number of irreconcilables in the Senate has been reduced, and sev eral have changed their views. There is now ground for hope that reason ,will prevail in the Senate's attitude and action. ' It is gratifying to note that the Coolidge administration, after pro longed inactivity, is moving prac tically towards the active participa tion of the United States in organi zations designed to maintain the peace of the world. Mr. Coolidge could not find a finer achievement in the cause of peace than that of lead ing the United States to co-operation with the nations in assuring the success of the international court. It would be a long step toward fur ther co-operation with the League of Nat ions. :o: At the recent dinner of all New England Drawn clubs, Charles Evans Hughes told this tale to adorn a moral. An athlete, greater in brawn than in brain, carefull chose his courses so that the strain might not be too heavy. In due course of time, be. and kindred souls enrolled in Semester 2, the leading cinch course of the curriculum. All went well un til the midyear exam. Then the ath lete was stopped cold by the paper before him. In desperation,, he scrib bled this note to be passed to one of his satellites in the back of the room: "For God's sake, who was Jehovah, and what did he do?" :o: T. Gilbert Pearson, president of the National Association of Audubon Society says the last he heard, only a few of the Bok nightingales remain ed alive, "and one or two may per sist until Spring, when we may hope they will burst into song." If they do, it will probably be more due to their desire to bear Mr. Coolidge out than to endorse the climate. HAII PEDESTRIAN A Federal district judge, who must have, been struck by an automobile SOme time in his career, has finally poX -1TX fojs reVenge. He has estab- , lished definite rights for the pedes- trian when crossing a streer. "When a pedestrian steps from the curb to cross the street, having a green signal with him." this judge ruled recently, "he does so by way of invitation, and he cannot be charged with contributory' neglect if the signal switches when he is in the street. Caught in this position, the obligation rests upon the motor ist not only to observe the situation, but to wait until the crossing is clear." What a glorious victory for the jaywalker! Now he has the law on his side all the way, defying the law when the red light or the traffic sign was against him. For him or against him, everything's in his fa vor. Yet we motorists can't afford to overlook the importance of the ped estrian's lights, whether he's right or wrong. That's a paradoxical state ment, but it seems to be a paradox ical fact that the pedestrian has lights even though he may be wrong. So we must respect them, both ways. In a way it's no more than proper that some definite decision was made concerning the pedestrian. Many an old person, guided only by the traf fic lights, has found himself stranded in the middle of a main street with automobiles coming at him from both directions. Matiy an acc ident has oc curred as the result of this bewilder ing situation. Therefore ii is neces sary to advise the pedestrian in this predicament as to just what In do. I-t him walk right cm the law is with hi tu. Hut let him beware of the driver in a hurry law or no law! :o: THE TREASURY OF BORAH The Prohibition prophets are be set by bitter doubt, one fear, as they ponder the almost heretical conces sion of Mr. Borah that the eighteenth amendment may possibly "be a mis take." They of the true faith know that this law is pure as the silvery purity of the stars, that it is a legis lative Holy Grail, that here Vox Populi is indeed Vox Dei, that he who wavers in his devotion is not of the stuff of concern consecration. True, the man from Idaho has weilded a brave and shining lance against the Saracens, but just the same, his spirit is not fortified with the sublime conviction. Recall vour Machiavelli: "He who is an object of suspicion is' no longer guiltless."
