PRESIDENT FAVORS WORLD COURT MOVE Washington, D. C. The question as to whether senate action on American world court membership should be attempted before adjournment of con gress will be considered at confer ences to be held within a few days between President Coolidge and re publican leaders of the senate. Interest in the whole question of American world court membership has been revived by the recent presenta tion of a new world court plan by Chairman Lodge of the senate foreign relations committee. Three distinct plans are before the foreign relations committee and Sen ator Pepper, Pennsylvania, a repub lican member, is understood to be pre paring a fourth, designed as a com promise. ' The proposal for conditional American adherence to the existing permanent court of international jus tice as made by President Harding and indorsed by President Coolidge has been before the committee for more than a year and in addition to the plan for a wholly new court there is pending a proposal by Senator Swanson of Virginia, ranking demo cratic member of the committee.

There were more than 50 vo"tcs to spare over the necessary two-thirds. The bill, providing 20-year endow ment insurance certificate to war vet erans, has now advanced to the final stage. Passage by a two-thirds vote in the senate will place the measure on the statute books, thus ending four years of agitation. , Although on ordinary Issues Repre sentatives Longworth and Madden could be counted upon almost to carry "the house, their Influence was negli gible.

J. WJLKER RESPONSIBILITY WITHIN the breasts of ambitious youths of both sexes there Is a yearning for the day when they shall be In a position to assume responsi bility, buckle on their armor and nmivh at the head of their own regiment. As they look out up" tho vlstu of years confronting them, they dream of the worlds they shall conquer, and the honor which bIihII bo their when their hairs have caught (mine of the whiteness of Know, It ?h good to peep Into the future find venture u guess nx to what It holds for bruve hearts and willing hands. Those who do this In honor lo them, selves and their employers have with in them tho essence of which noble manhood nnd womanhood are made. They are not ashamed to toll and hoII their hands, for thoy know that manual labor brings to the faithful a quality of content that cannot be attained by uny other moans, So they keep pressing toward the dream-city, eager for conquest and anxious to accept responsibility. What these ardent youths are doing now Is well done. Each day there Is visible Improvement In their work. They cut to the mark. It matters not that their friends are few, so long as they are true. With such friends Hiey are comfortable und happy. Neither they nor their associ ates spend their evening hours In Idle ness. They rend and think, discuss tho leading questions of the day. In this manner they broaden their minds, sharpen their vision and strengthen their powers to reason, They dwell In contentment with the noisy world ull about them, obsessed with the one Idea of some day bearing responsibility and helping others to higher altitudes. The erring, thoughtless and pleasure-loving have no such Ideals. They have chosen their place among the shirkers and are already marked by Time for the scrap-heap. And the conclusion of tills Is that only those who are willing to piny the leading role In life, take the Jars and . Jolts as they come, smile complacently ', on difficulties, ore capable of going forth to conquer, being conquerors at tills hour without suspecting It. ( by McClure Newpper Syndicate.)
