ENGLAND TRIES To
AVERT CIVIL WAR
Cabinet Officers Confer on
Methods to Avoid Strife in
Home Rule for Ireland

GLASGOW. Sept IA historic
conference. far reaching in its polit-
ical effect. began today among mem
bers of the British government at
Brodick castle, on the isle of Arran,
in the Firth of Clyde. Those present
were Percy Illingworth. owner of the
castle and the chief liberal whip in
in the house of commons; Premier
Asquith. and David Llyod George.
chancellor of the exchequer First
Lord of the Admiralty Winston
Churchill is expected to join the party
tonight.
The question under discussion is
home rule for Ireland and the atti-
tude of Ulster province. which threat
ems TO reject home rule If it Is grant
ed and set up an independent govern
ment. How civil war can be averted
in Ireland over home rule is the big
gest question which now confronts
the government.
The suggestion most seriously con-
sidered is the appointment of a royal
commission, some of the members to
be chosen by parliament and others
by King George, to arbitrate the diff
ference between the north and south
of ireland. The Protestants In the
north refuse to accept home rule,
which has been brought about by the
activities of the Irish nationalists, the
great majority of whom are Catholics
Thus the religious question permeates
the heart of the differences.
The Ulster Presbyterians declare
that Dublin parliament will be a
Catholic government and they refuse
to be ruled by such. On the other
hand, the Catholics in Ulster will re-
bel against a Protestant government

HORSE CARS WE RE
NUISANCE IN 1858

Ivan de Jongh, general manager or
the Pioneer Motor Truck corporation,
the Pacific coast representative of the
General Motors line of trucks, points
out the change in popular opinion
during the last go years.
'sAs we look out on a modern city
street, crowded with streetcars, auto
mobiles, motor trucks and variety
of other traffic, 1t is hard to realize
that little more than so years ago
even horse drawn ears were unknown
in some of our progressive cities Of
today.
I'VE recently received an old clip
ping from an eastern newspaper. giy-
ing an interesting sidelight on the
civic attitude of that day toward In
novations which are now considered
commonplace. Are the citizens OF
this town., asked the newspaper.
ready to have a railroad established
in one of our principal streets
ALREADY a petition has been pre-
sented to our legislature. and II the
project is carried out it will certainly
endanger the lives of our citizens and
reduce the value of real estate on the
street in question fully so per cent.
Besides, how many men and horses
are to be thrown out of employment
=
poration, that are now getting con-
stant employment in the Transports
tion of merchandise?
AT any rate, we are progressing.
1t will not be long before a poor man
will have to do without food for his
family unless it be drawn to his door
by a corporation car or teams. Our
citizens should remonstrate in earnest
against this scheme.
What change the modern methods
of today have brought about, says
De Jongh. Nowadays most everything
we eat, wear and use Is brought to
our door in up to the minute self
propelled vehicles. And the sight of
business vehicles coming through the
streets excites no comment whatever.
In fact. considerably more than $4,000
business motor wagons are in use
throughout the United States.

Baptists Opposed to
Public Dancing in
City SchooIrooms

Resolutions adopted by the San
Francisco Baptist association have
been transmitted to Mayor Rolph and
the board of education by Rev. George
Il. Burlingame opposing the use of
public school buildings. for mixed
public dances. The resolutions set
forth that movement alleged to be
in the interest of moral reform was
under way to make use of the school
buildings for dancing, and that this
would be injurious to the morals of
the community. In letter accom-
panying the resolutions Rev Mr.. Bur
lingame writes:
The protest voices the inward con-
victions Of multitudes of people in
this city who feel that their rights
are trampled on and their consciences
outraged by the use of the public
school buildings for purposes which
are offensive to their moral and re-
ligious convictions
