CENSURED FOR IRISH FAMINES.
John Redmond Blames British Govern
ment's System.

LONDON, March 25.-The greatest
fight in the history of the Irish struggle
for home rule is now being waged to
compel England to take immediate
steps to relieve the terrible conditions
which have arisen in the west of Ire
land within the past six months, and
to avert impending famine.
1t is being pressed home with daily
increasing vigor by the leaders of the
Irish party, chief of whom is Mr.. John
Redmond. The government is assault
ed on every side for it's failure to cope
with a situation which has grown
steadily worse since the passage of the
land act of 1903.
Existing conditions are Infamous
and cruel and have made English rule
in Ireland abnorrent to humanity said
Mr.. Redmond today. THE govern
ment not only has failed to anticipate
the distress in the western part Of Ire
land, but it has failed to grant relief
when conditions nave become unbear-
able,

Land Act Is Failure.

"The land act of 1903 has utterly
failed to settle the problem. The tide
of immigration will not cease; distress
and suffering at home will not end I'M
til the grazing lands of the west have
been restored to the people.
This question of chronic distress in
Ireland, recurring with painful regu-
larity every few years, is the real crux
of the Irish land question. 1t is the
problem that mas made the Irish land
wars in the past.
1T has been the cause Of all the
strife, turmoil, misery, crime and
bIoodshed which have marked the his
tory of the land question.
Since the year 1921 there have been
twelve famines in the west OF Ireland.
Millions of people have persisted. Mil
lions nave emigrated. Yet with each
recurrence of these periods of terrific
distress, there has been plenty of rich
land in Connaught and the other vest
ern countries, almost swept clear OF It's
population. Once the land contained a
happy, prosperous people.
Home Rule, Not Charity.
"The proper means of relieving the
immediate wants of the people of the
west of Ireland is not charity. 1t is
the starting of works OF permanent

For the twelfth time since 1921
famine has reappeared in Ireland and
the government has offered nothing but
the hateful demoralzing system OF
outdoor relief, payable in better times
by the very people who are receiving
such air today.
TT is this state of affairs which
shows that British rule in Ireland is
cruel and infamous. 1t is not only un-
constitutional; it is abhorrent to hu-

WOMAN BADLY BURNED
Hrs. Edward Butler Had Very Narrow Escape.

Mrs Edward Butler had marrow escape from being burned to death in the basement of the new Walsh building, at 1044 North Main street. The woman was doing something about the stote when her apron caught fire and before she knew it the rest of her clothing was aflame. There being nobody but herself present, she rushed to the doorway and shouted for assistance. A laborer across the way where a cellar is being built di- vined that something serious was the matter and dropped his bod and hur- ried to the scene In the meantime an alarm was sent in from box 254 and the department responded quickly, reaching the house soon after the burning clothing had been removed from the woman and medical aid sum moned. While the woman's injuries are not considered serious, still they are very painful and were it not for the timely arrival of assistance she would have been burned to death. It was fortunate that she had the pres ence of mind to go out and sumDn n aid, else she would soon have been cremated and also be the means or starting d big fire nj tfe block.

mission is SO radically unjust as to have the
effect to confscate property could be brought
before the courts. OF course this commission
has no power to regulate rates except within
the boundaries of the state; but the law pro-
vides that if the commission finds any abuses
In Interstate rates, or violations of the inter-
state commerce law. it may report
the facts to the Interstate commission and
call for an investigation. When the railroad
interests stood out for an elective commission,
1t was rumored that IL the bill passed in that
form Governor La Toilette would renounce the
senatorship and would be candidate for
place on the commissions place to which he
certainly would be elected. This caused con-
sternation among the opposition and had much
to do with the final agreement that the COM
mission should be appointed. 1t is understood
that Governor La Toilette, having secured the
enactment of this law, will now resign the
governorship and accept United States sena-
torship. We anticipate that he will be an in
teresting figure in the United States senate.
and we hope that he will have the ability to
disturb some Of its ancient and time-honored,
but not otherwise honored, rules and regula-
tons.

PROSPERITY IN NEBRASKA.

The Butler County Press believes that wa
and gold discoveries are responsible for the higl
prices of farm products in Nebraska and othe
states.
The Werld-Herad and Fremont Tribune
have been indulging in comparison Of
ideas on the subject of prosperity in Me-
braska. Neither gets to the real point. Both i
discuss the question from. the standpoint Of
the Nebraska farmer. No one denies the
prosperity of the Nebraska farmer who owns
and lives on his farm. The prices of farm
products Offset the trust prices in other direc-
tions, but the renter and the day laborer in
the cities are the men who are going to
feel the pinch by and by. With increased
taxes, and the advancing value of land, land
holders will demand more for the use of their q
land. When wars are over, and the millions
now engaged in slaughtering each other re-
turn to peaceful and productive pursuits
there will be fall in prices of farm products
and there will be howl even in Nebraska
Republicans have been lucky-wars and gold !.
discoveries and not political policies have
made times good.

UP-To-DATE LOBBYISTS

The Saturday Evening Post has discovers
hat the latest style in lobbyists is quite diferen
rom the style in vogue only few years ago:
According to newspaper correspondents at
our capitals, the briber of legislators has taken
to cover. Only few years ago the profess
sional lobbyist was a layman who frankly
told members of the legislatures what his
corporation wanted and how much it was will \
ing to pay. Now he is more likely to be
lawyer, and often lawyer of excellent stand 4
ing, who, with professional fee in his pocket,
pleads the cause of his employer under guise
men and honest legislators have constantly
to be on their guard against what they are
told by these wolves in sleeps clothing.
Much alarm has been caused by this new
and more insidious form of corruption In
comparison, the old conveyor of Doodle has
been lauded as frank and sincere After all,
there is caste even in crime. The best remedy
thus far suggested is that any one appearing
before a committee of legislature should
be required to state under oath whether he
is in communication with any of the interests
affected This might not very greatly lessen
the evil-for perjury would be very hard to
prove, and the man who would stOop to such
skulking would hardly stick at lie or two
but it would have the advantage Of defining
the issue clearly and absolutely, and so it
would make impossible in a self-respectng
lawyer those processes Of casufstry to which
human nature is SO lamentabIy prone

ASPHALT TRUST SCANDAL

The operations of the Asphalt trust in Vene-
zuela have resulted in much embarrassment to
the administration which has been placed in the
attitude of defending a corporation which is ac-
cused of fomenting a revolution, bribing Vene-
xuela and even United tates officials and Of other
reprehensibie transactions. The Springfield Re-
publican dwes upon the rashness and unneces-
sary haste with which the president rushed to
the aid of the New York and Bermudez Asphalt
Company:
The asphalt company long since enlisted
the support of the United States government
in it's behalf and it will undoubtedly urge
Intervention with renewed energy in case the
final decision of the Venezuelan courts should
be adverse to it's interests. That those courts
will reach an unfavorable conclusion is antci-
pated by everyone. The concession Of the
company, under which it claims possession of
the celebrated asphalt beds in southern Ven
ezuela, will very likely be declared null and
void. The officials Of the New York and
Bermudez company will assert, as they have
asserted with great vehemence all along that
the Venezuelan courts are corrupt and when
they are not corrupt they are the mere tools
of the dictator who occupies the presidency.

ton of the United States government even to
the length of forcible Intervention in Ven
ezuela's affairs, if necessary to the end that
their alleged property rights may not be de-
MED to them. We must assume that the
blunder Of an attempted Intervention in be-
half of the asphalters before the Venezuelan
courts have completed their judicial processes
will not be committed second time by the
Washington administration.
Putting aside, for the moment the history
of the New York and Bermudez Asphalt
company and the shady character of it's opera
lions both in Venezuela and in the United
States, the general question of government in
tervention in its behalf may properly be con-
sidered Why should the United States go
so far as to violate the sovereignty of an
other nation in order to preserve what this
corporation alleges to be it's rights? When
the company went to Venezuela to do bust
ness it knowingly took all the risks attend
ing SO distant and hazardous an enterprise
While there are cases Of spoliation which no
self-respecting government would ignore, in
connection with the enterprises of it's citizens
in foreign countries it is to be considered
that this particular corporation went to Ven
ezuela on the express contractual understand
ing that, in cases of dispute over it's conduct
under the terms of the governments conces-
sion, it would never appeal from the courts
of Venezuela to the diplomatic power of its
own country 1t agreed at the outset to ac
cept the decisions of Venezuelan judges, and
when it bound itself voluntarily to such con-
ditions it certainly accepted with open eyes
all the hazards running with unstable govern
ment and corrupt courts in that country. Yet
the present attitude of this corporation is
that the United States executive may prop
erly constitute itself court of appeal from
the judiciary of another nation and that in
our government resides the power to enforce
DEGREES which may absolutely overturn the
judgments Of the other nations courts. Here
is one more illustration of the assumption
by strong governments of powers outside
their own borders which they would utterly
repudiate if another government should try
to exercise them against themselves Imag
inc France or Germany claiming the right
to upset the judgment of the United States
supreme court in cases affecting the property
rights of French or German investors in
American mines or railroads !

the hearings which have just ended. A
number of able railroad men have been at
forded an opportunity to say at length why
they do not think freight rates should be
regulated by the general government The
corporation senators may be Of the opinion
that the general public will be impressed by
the earneStness and the unanimity of the
railroad advocates who addressed the commits
tee, and may conclude that perhaps it will be
wiser to proceed slowly in the matter Of
the regulation of rates. The general public
has not been seriously impressed by the argu-
ments of the railroad presidents. 1t has
not lost sight of the fact that they were
made by interested parties and has discount
ed them literally for that reason. 1t has
not been favorably impressed by the asser-
ton that railroad men alone are competent
to make rates. Nor is it prepared to admit
that the managers of railroads understand
the business of the shippers and what is
good for them better than the shippers them
selves 1t may be that the representatives Of
corporations, who appear to constitute ma
jority of the senate interstate commerce COM
mittee, have been letting the railroad men
talk in order to provide themselves with addi-
tional arguments against rate regulation legis-
lation. 1t may be that it is their intention to
say to the public few months hence that
they have heard both sides of the case, and
have reached the conscientious conclusion
that matters should be left as they are
That will be their attitude when congress
meets, probably about the middle of October
Between now and then they can do what
they please. They can have more hearings
if they choose and invite railroad men to
attend them. But when congress convenes
the president will call it's attention specially
to the question of regulating rates. The
public will applaud him and call on congress
to act. Then the corporation senator will
either have to get out of the way or be run
over He will try to substitute some milk
and water measure for whatever effective
legislation may be proposed He will have
his tricky amendments and his deceptive
provisos in readiness. He will resort to the
tactics of delay and obstruction-to stife
legislation in committee if possible, and, if
not to talk it to death in the senate chamber.
That method of defeating the popular will
can not be submitted to. The subject of rate
regulation must be given fair play in the
senate. There should be an early opportunity
for direct vote on effective legislation which
will put every senator on record for his con-
stituents or for his corporations. When such
a vote is taken the corporations will be de-
serted by many of the men they counted on.

The Outlook gives the following explanation
Of the law and the means that were used to secur,
it's passage:
The Wisconsin senate has passed by
unanimous vote the bill, which it is believed
the assembly will also pass by large ma
jority creating state railroad commission,
to be appointed by the governor, and possess
ing power to fix rates; the law also requires
the roads to furnish adequate service to ship
pers and forbids all kinds of secret or dis
eliminating rates. The railroad companies
are in the first instance to make rates, but
an appeal lies from them to the railroad COM
mission, and, as we understand it, no appeal
lies from the railroad commission to the
courts. 1t is always possible, however to ap-
ply for an injunction, and in that way the
question whether the rate fixed by COM

LA FoLLETTE'S VICTORY

The Buffalo Times, a democratic paper, re-
joces in the fact that Governor La Toilette now
considers himself free to go to the United States
senate:
The passage by the Wisconsin senate of
a railroad rate bill which authorizes the gov
ernor to appoint commission with power to
fix all railroad rates in Wisconsin is great
victory for Governor La Toilette. There is
not the slightest doubt of the concurrence of
the assembly. This leaves the way clear for
La Toilette to go to the United States senate,
in which body it is confidently expected he
will be power for good.
