Mr. Wilson said he had been 'as tonished'* at statements made abotiI the treaty, and was convinced many Of them were made by men who had not. retid it or else had failed to com prehend its menning.. The League of Nations, the Pres!- j dont declared, was formed in fit Hill- . mont of the promise that the Putted ' States was lighting this war to "end . business of that sort" forever. Not to establish the league, he said, | would bo "unfaithful" to those who . had died.

If there were a League of Nations, he asserted, Italy would not need that foothold. "I'd rather have everybody on my side," ho continued, "than be armed to tho tooth." Referring to criticism that tho treaty violated American traditions, Mr. Wilson said ho was proud that ho, too, belonged to the "old revolu tionary school" and that ho was fol lowing tho purposes of tho vision which tho fut h rs had seen. Right Wrongs ol' Ku rope. "This treaty ls an attempt to righi the wrongs of Europe," he said, "and in my humble opinion, il is ti measur able success." Ho used the word "measurable." he added, because racial lines wore not always distinct and could not be drawn with absolute precision on a map. This was why some of tho boundary lines were left to he de cided later by the people themselves. The treaty, he declared, was . shot through willi the American principle of thu choice of the governed."

Sept. 1.-Tho establish ment of "family courts" to meet the menace to the marriage relation pre sented by the divorco evil, was re commended by Chief Justice Chas. W. Hoffman, of the Court of Domes tic Relations nt Cincinnati, in an ad dress last night before the Ameri can Institute of Criminal Law and Criminology. "Marriage, as an institution, ls en dangered in America to-day through the divorce evil, and the only way to save it is by tho establishment of family courts,' in which social evi dence, as distinguished from legal, will be considered," Judge Hoffman said. I "There will be more than ian.not) divorce cases bled before the courts of tho land this year, and something must be done to save our family life, the greatest civilizing force wo have." he continued. "The family court should bo an extension of tho principle upon which juvenile courts are founded. "lt will be possible under this sys tem to correlate thc work of the juvenile and divorce divisions of the court and obtain reliable scientific data. This is ibo final purpose of the family court, and it will he through the facts developed that re ti?iste knowledge and information necessary for tho regulation for mar riage and divorce will be .acquired. No scientific law has ever boon made on the subject of divorce. Divorces are granted for certain cansos, but no effort is made to classify basic causes." Elihu Root, former Secretary of State, speaking before the judicial section of the bar association, said he favored wiping out the "business of attempting to bring about Justice by statute," and that ho believed it best to "leave it to the judges to do Justice." "A few meagre rules embodying the fundamental principles are all that is necessary," ho added. "One of the great troubles with legislation to-day is that lt does not permit the Judges to do Justice." Young and inexperienced lawyers in the legislatures, "who, bocauso they did not like the views o? a cer tain Justice or bocauso a matter did not turn out the way they thought lt should, proceed, as soon as they got a chance in tho Legislature, to bring about the change they think ought to be made." wore largely re sponsible for the condition, he thought. "The real reason for criticism of tho courts ls not thal the pen;.Ie have leal faith hi the courts and .con 11 d nee In our Judges, ?but that they have come to where they want less and less to bo bon nd by law."

College Camp, Williams Bay, Wis., Sept. 4.-Delegates to tho conference of tho Presbyterian Now lira move- , ment to-day considered plans for a : nation-wide evangelist campaign af- j tor listening to addresses. Kev. Joseph ll. Vaneo, of Detroit, ! Mich., said that to Christianize j America was the mission of tho 1 church. He satd that all the "rot" j of tho "Trotsky and Lenino crowd" would soon bo swept aside; that . their doctrino was all "bluff;" that soon their rulo of loot would end and the peoplo would bo following tho Cross of Christ. Dr. Vance said that Christianity ' could only conquer the world throuth a uuillcd church. Ile said tho average church did not have its whole membership sufficiently ac- , live.

Ile ui'ged a unified church and that each congregation strive to become KIO per cent efficient. "If your automobile," he told his fellow ministers, "had so many use less parts in it as your average church, you could not run il down hill."

Aunt Sarah was lalo getting tho lotter her daughter-in-law recently wrote her, toiling how a neighbor, ! in the terror of his deathbed, con-! fessed the crime for which McCorkle died, and which would have cost her life, but for her sex. This Mrs. Wy- ' coff, who Is tho widow of tho last I momber of Aunt Sarah's family, ? writes without great enlightenment to the oldest prisoner In tho State's ' service. Aunt Sarah has "done" her ! 40 years, and next week will bo 7 8. Tho weazened old woman came to tho State prison In 1S70, after two trials and two convictions. More than half that incarceration has been spent on a little cot on the highest floor in tho State prison. She has not walked In 2:5 years. Rheumatism has drawn hor trim lingers double I and deprived her of all locomotion, save tho power to crawl and push herself with an invalid's chair. But ! in 2!l years, and Hat of her hack, she has not uttered a word of offense to hor friends in prison, and now, If tho Governor will pardon her. those attendants will insist that she dlo lhere. Art uni Slayer Confesses Crime. Aunt Sarah gave your correspon dent an interview Friday. She did not mean to he giving Interviews she doesn't oven know what ono moans. She was reading her Bible, which is printed in 12-potnt type, varying this with the scrawled letter which has come from her solitary relative, her daughter-in-law. Noth ing harder has boen undertaken since the orignal tackler of Ibo Egyptian hieroglyphics than the reading of junior Mrs Wycoff's letter. Tho dutiful Widow merely wished Aunt Sarah to know (hat .she has suffered 1 In silence and mystery and the actual ' slayor of the old man, Wesley Wycott, 1 Juts confessed the crime. Who ho I was the daughter-in-law does not know. "I am left alone with no one to live with me," she says, telling Mrs. ] Wycoff for the llrst tinto of hor son's death. "Jacob is dead and gone and the children married off. Ile | had six children- three boys and throe girls. They are well as com mon. "Bob" Marlow was hero. You know her. She said she knowed you. 1 That man is dead that killed Wesley Wycoff. Ile told on bis deathbed that ho killed him hisself-that you nor Bob McCorkle never dono it. Ile did it hisself and you and Bob was ino sunt. I am glad to no and 1 wanted you to know the people had found out 1 how lt was done." Mis. Wye .h's Story. \ Mrs. Wycott is as Ignorant ot tho I rial and what brought her to prison | as if she had lived in another guise and by some metempsychosis or other process had been transplanted from a star, tho moon, or tho sea into North Carolina life. She does recall that she had a husband; that she was accused of murdering him, and ?twice convicted and sent lo prison. "Wo wns first tried in Catawba county--that's where they said bo was killed by Bob. and that I knowed about lt," she said. "And then we was tried in Alexander, lt happened the same there as in Ca tawba. I don't know why they tried mo. They said I knowed sumpin' about lt. They never said 1 dono lt, but said I knowed about it." She could not recall whether the lawyers and tho court talked about acces sories before and a flor tho fact. All that she could recall was that "lt happened the same." Why there were two trials does not appear from anything that she recalls. Tnt Supremo Court records do liol soem lo have tho case, and lt is barely possible thal ono of them was tried in ono county and tho other lu the adjoining jurisdiction. lt is not impossible thal tho Judge who tried Ibo case sot aside Ibo ver dict. Evidently there was no ap peal. Anyway, Bob McCorkle was banged ?nil Mrs. Wycot! came lo prison to spend her lifo. "Governor Russell would have pnrdonod me 20 years ago," she said, "but lhere was no pjaco for mo to go. other Governors have said they would pardon me, bul I haven't got no folks to tako mo. I guess I will koop on slaying hore." "I would Uko to soo Aunt Sarah get her pardon," her attendant said, "but wo havo loamed to love hor so that wo want hor to stay boro If she gots out. She has nover broken a rulo and all tho prisoners Uko her so much." Aunt Sarah scorns to havo "satis fied tho law," whatever that moans, and Bob McCorklo did his part 40 DIDN'T THINK SHE COULD GET WELL Troubles' Kept After Mer Twenty Long Ven rs.
