of
JUSTICE COnALAN'S PLEADING.
Justice Cohalan, of the Now York
Supreme Court, ia right in saying:
In spite of martial law and of a
large English army of occupation,
and without any bloodshed, the
people of Ireland by more than a
two-thirds vote have broken down
and destroyed the old political ma
chine which had controlled the
country tor more than a genera
tion and have declared more un
equivocally and decisively than did
the people of America before the
Revolution their intention of gov
erning themselves without permls-.
sion or hindrance from any foreign
power. America has always sympa
thized with peoples who are strug
gling to bo free. Never was there
greater reason for such sympathy
than now, when the making of a
just and permanent peace depends
upon doing justice to all peoples,
and to none more than to the peo
ple of Ireland, who have onco again
so decisively and so impressively
ahown their intention and determin
ation to be free. The world is
hoping and praying for such a
peace, and England will have no
greater statesman or friend than
the one who will commit her to
such a peace and turn the enmity
and hostility felt to her In so many
- quarters of the world into friend
ship and amity.
The Irish people have a natural
and inherent right to bo free and
independent. They have a natural
and inherent right to a government
which derives its powers from, the
consent of the governed. If this is
not so, then our Declaration of In
dependence Js simply verbiage and
, the professions with which we went
- vlo -ivjir -Wflro. -iinwruthv vTiTAfnRpa.
"Tflf" the world -is, not eafo for the
free democracy of Ireland, then it
Js not safe for any democracy
which a stronger nation may desire
to rule. If Engalnd has the right
to govern the Irish people against
their consent, then Germany had
tho right to govern the Poles
against their consent, Austria had
tho right to govern tho Czechs and
Slovaks against their consent, Rus
sia had the right to govern the
Finns against their consent. There
is no escape from the Inexorable
logic of these comparisons.
If the Irish people have not the
natural and inherent right to b9
free and independent of a govern
ment conducted without their Con
sent and against their interest, no
people has that natural and In
herent right and tho only basis of
liberty and independence is not
Tight but might. And there you
have the doctrine of despotism and
militarism, disguise it in whatever
sophistry you will.
The hundred thousand American
men who laid down their lives In
this war did not make that supremo
sacrifice to pull down the su
premacy of might over right In one
portion of Europe only to more
firmly establish that odious doctrine
in another portion of Europe. "We
do not see with what face our rep
resentatives .at the Peaco Confer
ence could demand independence
for Bohemians, Slovaks, Jugo-Slavs
and every other small people in one
part of Europe and refuse to de
mand Independence for the Irish
people in another part of Europe.
The argument that tho Irish peo
ple could not defend their small
nation from the attacks of more
powerful nations applies to all
small nations and presupposes that
the old conditions of Intrigue, ag
gression and wars of conquest are
'to continue and yet we are as
sured day after day that this war
was fought to end such conditions
and that the Peace Conferepce will
formulate a plan of permanent
tranquility and permanent safety
for weak democracies. Either the
argument is worthless or else tho
promises and pledges by which our
peoplo -were led to make their
gigantic sacrifices of blood and
treasure were worthless,
If tho Irish democracy can not
safely exist In the world without
the protection of fleets and armies
of its conqueror then the world la
not sate for democracy, and all the
lives and money given by Ameri
cans to make the world safe for
democracy have failed to accom
plish their high objort. We are
curious to see any convincing de
nial of that conclusion. It is no
argument at all to say that of late
years the English rulo in Ireland
has been less oppressive than in
tho past. Tho statement is not al
together true, as the late Sinn Fein
massacres prove, but even if the
statement were true it does not
fundamentally alter tho situation.
The English rule in Ireland is
not a government deriving its just
powers from the consent of the gov
erned. It is a government based
upon suporior force. It Is the gov
ernment of the Irish people by the
English people in the interests of
the English people. That is the
kind of government agatnet which
Washington rebelled, which Lincoln
denounced and agalaet which ire
have juet victoriously iought.

POLITICIANS
If the British Government is "wise
it will abandon Its rulo of Ireland
by force and cultivate an alliance
based upon gratitude, ' proximity,
mutual welfare and abovo all upon
the firm foundation of justice and
righteousness, without which
foundation no government is over Predict Dark Future For Senrcv anil
peiiuuuBui, nu peaco ever secure, no
eumco or power ever enduring. By
the measuro of justice that Is meted
out to Ireland will be measured in
large part tho sincerity, the recti
tude and the results of tho profes
sions and purposes of England in
this gigantic conflict. If overy peo
plo in the -world, great or small,
strong or weak, is not safo to llvo
its own national llfo In its own
way and according to its own de
sire, then the pledges which invited
us into the war and the high pur
poses which animated us in tho
war have failed of full realization.
To paraphrase tho striking lan
guage of President Lincoln, the
-world can not live in peaco half
slave and half free. Justice- can

It was the consensus of Democrat

all agree that It is second nature
of tho people out in tho State to

from Loulaville. In a political con

to play second fiddle because o

IMUNG UNFAVORABLE REPORT.
-The Western Recorder ofthlf
week publishes another harsh
criticism of the Y. M. C. A. and its
war work, written by J. B. Gam
brell. D. D of the Southwestern
Baptist Theological bemmary at
Port Worth, Texas, from which is
taken tho following:
Tho inevitable has happened. To
a distressing extent the Y. M. C. A.
has broken down overseas. It has
broken down In the confidence and
Why let an armed man ' 'ovo of the soldiers. Complaints
picture show, the soldier's school, the
soldier's church, tho soldier's store.
In trying to carry out this Incongru
ous programmo there has been almost
a riot of wastefulness. Men havo
been employed on ample salaries
simply to amuse soldiers, when sol
diers can get up moro fun among
themselves than any other equal
number of men in tho world. There
are Secretaries for physical culture,
whero tho army discipline is tho
finest culture in the world. Relig
ion has been mixed in with theaters,
"jazz" music and stunts, until re
ligious sentiment has been diluted
down to nothing. Monkeys are not
needed around a prayer meeting,
and when the commercial spirit be
gins to graft itself on benevolence,
commercialism grows and benevol
ence shrinks. One of tho grave
charges is that the Y. M. C. A.
overcharges; and in one case sold to
the soldiers cigarettes which had
been donated lo them by a rich
woman.
In concluding the Rev. Gambrall
Insists that "tho whole thing has
been a miserable mess." Tho Bap
tists are severe on the Y. M. C. A.

Marshall, of Frankfort, former Col

Tho past couple of weeks has
certainly been rough sledding for
near Mayor Smith, Col. Potty, Chief
of the Kcystonors, and tho Eolshe

Durgiaries, negro gambling games,
coupled Tvith murder, killing of

following each other eo swiftly that

tion. There Is ono part of tho
public which seems to be sleeping
quietly during tho reign of crlmo,
murder and gambling, and that Is
none other than our Men's Federa
tion, which seems to only work for
reform when the Democrats are In
control. On top of tho orgy of
crime the Board of Firo Under
writers officially designated Louis
ville as a third-class town and gave
the suffering taxpayers another
cause for worry by raising firo
rates 25 per cent. This, coupled
with increased assessments in taxes.
Is making it harder daily to find the
voter who is proud that he voted
for the near Mayor. Just as iue
baseball umpire's decision 13 final,
so is tho underwriters' decision
when they class Louisville as a
"hick"town with a "bum" fire de
partment. Noar Mayor Smith grew
wrathy, as tho Herald said, at the
decision and told how he was golnj?
to spend oodles of (the taxnayers)
money for equipment, etc. Tho poor
old near Mayor will find that newor
equipment won't help the Joke fire
men, who won't train and who can't
even couple a hose. They will find
It just as easy to wreck and
demolish new equipment as well a3
old.
The Black Hawk murder case,
which vou won't find in "Facts,"
the alibi book, ia still the topic or
conversation and deserves a little
review. On May 30 a crowd of
negro gambling at Hurley Pod's
negro saloon at Tenth and Walnut
were raided by Patrol mn Harner
nrd two others. Pope was ladl

ever in their daily and nightly la
bors or loye. Special mention Is
due the performers who stole the
bronze lions In front of Cherokee
Park, and look out for the Thomas
Jefferson Court House statue and
tho City Hall clock next. Chief Petty
says he doesn't understand how
a policeman's uniform was found at
Frankfort the other day, and tho
suggestion is offered that maybo
some of the enterprising crooks now
in our midst stole tho uniform right
off one of his Koystoners. It looks
plausible Tho Board of Safety
now seems to confine Its appoint
ments to two classes, ono the
drunken police who wero fired or
couldn't get on under Democratic
reign, whilo the second and most
popular selection of the board are
motormen and conductor police,
who ir they remain on the force
ten years will still be good street
car men but not police. You can
take tho policeman out of the coun
try but not the country out of tho
policeman.

have been coming so thick and fast
that Dr. John R. Mott, the General
Secretaiy, has felt called upon to
take notice of them. Somo ex
planations havo been tendered, but
they leave tho disagreeable facts
not even mitigated. The General
Secretary has given it out that
complaints will bo turned over to
the War Department for Investiga
tion. It is a very convenient and
safo graveyard for such things.
Months ago I began to receive com
plaints through letters written from
soldiers In France. Tho complaints
were serious, but for prudential
reasons I did not print any of them.
Dr. George W. McDanlel, pastor
of tho First Baptist church, Rich
mond, Va., so widely and favorably
known throughout the wholo South,
has recently printed an extended
article in the Richmond Virginian,
In which he states that ho had
supported tho Y. M. C. A., ho had
heard complaints, but went on sup
porting the organization; but re
cently 620 sick and wounded sol
diers had been brought to Rich
mond and Dr. McDanlel Bays that
"These bring a practically unani
mous unfavorable report of the
Y. M. C. A." And then he says of
these sick and wounded, "They are
not knockers. It Is not correct to
say that they complain. They say
nothing unless ono makes inquiry.
To these inquiries they reply very
frankly to the effect that the Y. M.
O. A. did nothing for them." Dr.
McDanlel quoted from a letter by
an officer who formerly lived in
Houston, Texas, and was a member
and supporter of the Y. M. C. A.
before tho war. This officer says:
"The Red Cross has done good
work over here, and so has the
Salvation Army in a small way;
but tho Y. M. C. A. is an absoluto
failure." This samo officer goes on
to tell of his connection with other
officers and groups of officers. All
held tho same opinion. He says,
howover, that in Paris and other
cities the Y. M. C. A. havo places
that would be the envy of any club
In Houston, and back there havo
dono some good work.
Tho latest word that comes is
that the Y. M. C. A. is to discon
tinue all of its religious work and
restrict Its Secretaries bound over
seas to educational, entertainment
and physical work. This is its con
fession of a huge breakdown. That
the country is to receive a severe

A sensation was created in Paris
on the eve of the Peace Conference
by the publication in the Socialist
paper, L'Humanlte, of the reply of
Foreign Minister Pichon rejecting
the proposal or the British Govern
ment to invite the Bolshevists to

This proposal was ignored by
The Corporation of tho City of
Cork has voted tho freedom of the
city to President Wilson "as a
mark of appreciation of the high
principles enunciated for a settle

The document cabled from Lon
don and published Saturday as the
"constitution of the Irish republic"
is in reality the political platform
adopted by tho Sinn Fein convention
In October, 1917, Diarmuld Lynch,
National Secretary of the Friends
of Irish Freedom, declared in a
statement issued in New York.
"The Irish people at the recent gen
eral election overwhelmingly de
clared In favor of that platform,"
tho statement said, "but the consti
tution of the Irish republic has to
be drafted and ratified by the
Feis, or National Assembly, of Ire
land, composed of the elected rep
resentatives of tho people. This as
sembly, as far as wo in America
know, has not yet been convened."
Tho Dublin Corporation, at a spe
cial meotlng last Friday, appointed
the Lord Mayor and several of its
members to go to Paris to present
tho freedom of tho city to Presi
dent Wilson there, and on Saturday
tho Town Clerk wroto to President
Wilson's Private Secretary, asking
him to name a dato on which the
President would receive the deputa
tion. No reply has been received.
At the same time the Lord Mayt
wrote to Mr. Balfour at tho Foreig
Office for passports for himself an
the other mombers of the deputi

The Nationalists can jiot-understand
the "curious silence," in view
of tho fact that when, on December
27, the Belfast Corporation offered
the freedom of their city to Presi

January 1, expressing tho pleasure
It would give him to visit Belfast,
but regretting that the shortness of
his stay in England prevented him
from traveling to Ulster.

ated tho belief that Ulster will be

treatment of Irish affairs. Viscount
French, Governor General, is also
credited with the intention to exer
cise his authority in accordance
with military rather than political
considerations.
A constituent assembly, the date
of which has not yet been fixed,
will determine the terms ot a con
stitution for Ireland. Sinn Fein
plans for tho assembly are delayed
because thirty-four of those re
cently elected to tho British Par
liament are in jail. Tho Sinn Fein
ers are confining their activities at
present to securing tho release of
these members, and many meetings
are being held throughout Ireland
demanding that tho imprisoned
ones be set free. It is rumorei"
that tho Government will soon re
lease them.
