Ireland during last November the
Judges were presented by their respec-
tive Grand Juries with pairs Of white
gloves, emblematic Of the fact that no
felonious crime was upon the calendar.
In many Of the circuits one or two
cases Of simple assault were to be
tried.
1t was the knowledge that Ireland
Is the most crimeless country under
the sun that drew forth from the con-
servative Earl Of Dudley, in the House
of Lords last Monday, the following
remarkable statement in answer to the
lingo clamor for coercion:
"The leaders Of the present Liberal
government are not going far enough
in their conciliatory methods of please
me. The policy of coercion would
mean war to the knife, and in the long
run it would make the governing of
Ireland impossible. The only real So
luton of the Irish question is to be
found in the prompt, consistant REM
edying Of admitted grievances, and
such a policy would gain the adher-
ence and support of majority of the
people"
Referring to the same subject in the
House Of Commons, Irish. Secretary
Birrell refused to put the Crimes Act
into operation. He said:
''The government proposes to con-
tinue it's present policy of trying to
gain the good will Of the Irish peo-
pie. The reason for the cattle raid
ing and other crimes was disappointed
hopes, and it is my opinion that there
never will be peace and content in
Ireland until the untenanted lands
have been divided among the people.
The government wants compulsory
powers to break up the untenanted
lands, but the landlords are holding
out for unreasonably high prices"

Durlal that the truth came out, These
two had been starving for weeks. Such
work as the mother could get (when
the boy was not too sick to be left
alone) paid the rent of one little room
and they lived on old bread from the
bakers and the scraps of meat begged
at the butcher shops.
Nor is even this the worst, for this
boy died in his mothers arms. Men
have lain for days in their cots in un-
warmed tents, not able to reach so
much as drink Of water.
They have died alone, been buried
by charity and their very names never
known, Or learned only with great diff
ficulty after long search. And the
careless cheerfulness with which ply
siciains and laymen continue to send
fresh victims to swell the list is per-
haps the hardest part of the problem.

every day.
And what happened? Well, he found
dozens of his kind ahead of him. The
ranches wanted able bodied men who
knew their business, the mines had no
place for an invalid; and the farmers
needed help that could pitch hay all
day with the Thermometer at 30.
This happened to one boy; he stuck
to the idea of mining, though he was
to weak to swing a pick. He carried
a dry washer over the hills for miles,
winnowing the particles of gold dust
out of the sand in little conons. He
made perhaps 81 week. and starved
and froze on it till a charity ticket took
his home to die.
The people Of the Southwest have
endeavored to meet the pathetic and
difficult situation entailed by the YEAR
ly influx of helpless consumptives, and
are meeting it with an efficiency that
may serve as a valuable example for
future dealings with the problem; but
justice and humanity at once demand
that the whole burden shall not be
left to them. 1t is not fair play that
the inhabitants Of a community shall
be taxed year after yeur to support
large numbers Of INDECENT invalids who
are strangers-as many a Southwest
ern town is taxed.
The writer of this article contends
that the problem comes as truly with
in the province of the general govern
ment as the repelling of an army of
invasion. If 100000 ur the American
citizens living today were threatened
with death by q foreign power the
whole country would arm and rise to

town would be left to protect itself as
best it could; but systematic CAM

COMPELLED TO
BORROW MONEY
Publishers Kept Broke Buying Paper
From Trust According to Testi.
rnony Of Witnesses.

Washington, May S.-That there
will be no secret record in the com.
mittee of the House investigating the
wood pulp and print paper question,
was made evident yesterday when
Chairman Mann refused to receive
from witness, in confidence, the
names Of certain newspaper publish
ers. The incident arose during the
testimony of c. l.. Knight, publisher
of the Akron, Ohio, Beacon-Journal.
Mr.. Knight had stated that to his
knowledge the increase in the price of
paper had wiped out the profits of a
number Of papers in Ohio, and in
fact had forced one of them to the
necessity of borrowing money to
meet its payrolls. When called upon
by Chairman Mann to give the names
of these publishers, he declined to do
so, on the ground that the informa-
ticn came to him in personal man.
ner, and the publishers had been "hit
hard enough already without pro-
claiming to the world the fact that
they were bankrupt"
IIe did say, however, that he would
give the names to the committee in
confidence and that the committee
could summon them and they could
tell their experiences if so desired.
Chairman Mann refused to receive
the names under this condition, stat
| ing that If he could prevent 1t the
committee would receive no informa-
ton that did not go on the record.
A large number of publishers in
different sections of the country were
examined Yesterday, end they told the
same story as to the advanced price
of paper. Among those heard was
