Referring to the negro question, he
said that President Roosevelt had raised
II subject that will not easily down. 1t
had brought forth ml'nhcr of com

After mentioning n number of these
comments and the men who made them

HELP FOR ERIN.

At last the long-awaited Irish land bin
has been introduced into Parliament ana
there is ground for The belief that il
marks turning point in the history of
Ireland, Whatever defects the blu may
have, there can be 40 doubt that It looks
toward an era of better things aud that,
as John Redmond said in his speech. it
represents a sincere effort to take hold
OF the great Irish question in practical
and, helpful way. The measure, SO far
rs outlined, in many particulars strongly
resembles the plan approved at the re-
Gear conference of landlords and tenants
IN Dublin, Ii provides way whereby
the poor tenants of Irish land shall be
enabled to become actual owners Of their
holdings. To make possible the purchase
Of this land srom the Irish landlords the
British government proposes to furnish
$60s)O0,000 as margin between pay
merits to landlords and money repaid by
tenants. Htt
1Ynants are to pay 3A per cent inter
est on loans from the government Mr..
Wyadham said he thought the scheme
wousd not involve S500,000,000, but that
ST5g000,000 could safely be advanced on
lrisH land The advances to tenants are
limited to $500 in the eongested dis
tricts and $1,000 elsewhere The bill
also provides that untenanted farms and
grazing lands shall be sold 10 neighbor
ing tenants and that three commission
ers, 40 be known as estate commission
ers, shall supervise the sales. V38
At the present time there are between
315,GO0 and 100000 tenants of Irish Soil
who have been suffering the evils of the
landlord system. In those cases where
landlords were willing to sell theft lands
and thus put the tenant in the way of
becoming an independent land owner the
landlords prices were higher than the
tenants could possibly pay, The British
governments present plan is TO solve the
difficulty by advancing a sum sufficient to
satisfy the landlords, permitting the ten
ants to pay back in yearly installments
the Price they can afford and virtually
making up the difference out of the Brit.
ish treasury. 1t has been estimated that
with the peace and security that win
follow the wiping out of landlordism the
Irish police force of 1900 men can be
reduced to one-third or one quarter of its
present size. This reduction alone would
cause, a great saving to the English tax
payer.
If this plan. which has been carefully
matured and favorably received by land
lords and tenants alike, shall prove sue

United States Treasury surplus,

Il s well to go slow in believing what
sou read in Republican newspapers
about political matters. The audaeity
and h1endaeity of the statements made
by them are beyond belief and yet
many good. honest souls are fooled by
their utterances.
One of the late announcements is
that "the vaults of the United States
Treasury are crammed with hundreds
of millions of dollars" This extrava-
CANT statement was made TO deceive
those who read il into believing that
Uncle Sam has an Overlooking treas
ury, and that enormous appropriations
are therefore excusable. Now the facts
are that the surplus in the United
States Treasury on March 10 was only
1921, 903, 361; of this there is deposited
in the national banks $150.3I3, 210.

The Cuban Scandals Revived.

The revival of the charges that Rath-
bone has again brought to public no.
tice, of the lavish expenditures of
General Wood when Governor Of Gu
ba, would not receive much attention
If it we're not for the fact that Presi-
dent Roosevelt is said to have select
ed General Wood for Governor of the
Philippines. The scandal in connec-
ton with the Cuban expenditures is
disgrace to us as a nation, and to
reward the principal offender with the
special favor of the President is not
the way to encourage the army to
high ideals. General Wood is no
doubt a pleasant companion and
a master of single stick, which
the wound of the Presidents hand
proves, but these qualities which
the President holds so highly docs
not. in the opinion of other folk,
make great soldiers or wise coun-
sellers. Nor is the extrayagant and
wasteful expenditures of other peo-
pies money a recommendation for
military or civil advancement What
the President deems the brilliant quail
tiles of General Wood are no good rea-
sons for his being, promoted over other
officers Of the ARMY who have given
long years to the service with but slow
promotion, with records untarnished
by any Cuban or similar scandals.
