HOME RULE BILL, UP TODAY,
MARKS CRISIS IN LONG WAR

The setting Of to-day for the intro
duction of the Irish Home Rule Bill
in the British House Of Commons
brings to crisis warfare that has
been waged for centuries, and not al
ways by parliamentary methods. The
green Of the Emerald Isle has often
been splashed with red during the
long struggle for liberty waged by the
sons of Erin. Long before the dawn
of history, legend tells us, Ireland suf-
fered invasions and her warriors
fought valiantly against the foreign
ers who sought to subjugate the land.
In the eighth century the Danes and
Normans began conquest of Hi
hernia and founded Dublin and other
cities. In the twelfth century ire
land was divided into a number Of
petty kingdoms and principalities,
which, lacking foreign foes. fought
continually among, themselves. b
the twelfth century Henry II, invaded
the island and laid the foundation for
English sovereignty. In lit he re-
ceived the submission Of the princes
and created his son John the Lord of
Ireland In 1912 Henry WILL the
much-married monarch, assumed the
title Of king, instead of rebellions and
plots, Of civil and religious wars, Of
l1prfsings and massacres, until there
was left scarce foot Of Irish sod
that had not known its baptism of
blood. In 1868 began the agitation

TARIFF AND LIVING COST
Consumers Are Forced to Pay FullJ
Two Thousand Million Dollars
Yearly to Trusts.

Byron w. Holt, a recognized author.
ity on economics, estimates that the
tariff-trust tax on the people Of this
country amounts to $1OS per family
per year.
These figures have never been sue
cessfully challenged. If they are cor
rect they mean that the consumers
OF the United States are forced by the
tariff to pay fully two thousand mil.
lion dollars per year to trusts.
In the debates In congress a some.
what smaller figure is given. There
the total cost Of the tariff is fixed at
about two billions of dollars per year
of which the government gets little
over $3O0,O0O,OO0.
This leaves the tariff-trust tax or
the people at the modest figure oil
s1,7O0,000,00O per year!
This is almost twice the amount oil
the Franco-Pr ussian war indemnity.
They extort from the people of the
United States every year a sum near
ly twice as great as that which was
levied on France by Germany at the
close Of a bitter and successful war
Every dollar added to the Golfers o.
the trusts is paid by an increase il

The only way to abolish the trus
tax is to give Governor Wilson ant

to revise the tariff.

have fried chicken two meals, stewed

PRESIDENT FALLIERES is CALLED STINGY

President Fallieres is again being
subjected TO criticism on the score of
parsimony. When, few years ago,
the king and queen of Norway we're
guests Of the republic, an accident
happened at Versailles which might
easily have had fatal consequences
for the queen and Nine. Fallleres.
The postillion who was riding one
Of the horses drawing the state lam
dau, in which they sat, took too
sharp a turn in crossing a bridge
spanning the ornamental lake near
Trianon, and fell with his mount into
the water. Happily the carriage re-
manned on the bank.
1t was stated at the time that since
M. Fallieres' installation the Elysee
stable was farmed out, and that
horses and servants were supplied by
contractor. Thus the accident was
explained on the ground of the pos
tillion's inexperience. M. Fallieres
was then accused of farming out his
stables in order to reduce the ex-
