Some oHour citizens of Irish birth
are too inpulsive and are apt ts
shoot of their mouths unnecessarily.
We r afforded a striking illus:ra-
tion of This in connection with the
cases o. the two Irishmen recently de-
ported from this country. The Unit
ed Irish-American Society of New
York ees in this acsion IAN abieet
and slayish surrender OF one of the
vital principles which have made our
country stand ont as a refuge and
shelter for the oppressed" "a base
surrender of American doctrine at
the demand of one country which has
always been our bitter and unrelent-
ing foe" This is all ROT and the
hatred of Jul Irish friends for Great
Britain leads Them to do and say a
number of senseless things. The men
in question we're not deported at the
req uest of the English authorities. but
because under our laws they could
not be permitted to seek an asylum in
this country. They were assassins,
and had been convicted of completely
in the Phoenix Park murders in Dub
lin. This land cannot be made an
asylum for murders even If these muir
derers do happen to be guilty of mere
ly political murders"

1t has been said, and with much
truth. that two many persons who ex'
ercise the rights and privileges Of cit
izenship, do no thinking for them
selves. They are led by some one
who can dominate their minds. be
does their thinking for them. and they
do as he says and vote as he desires.
This ought not to be and no man
should have the right to cast a vote
at an election unless he has an intel
ligent idea of what he is voting for.
If the people would inform themselves
as to the merit of the questions before
the people today. and fit themselves
to vote intelligently, We would soon
see the good effect.
