Editorial in the Chicago Evening
Post, March 26.l /.
He who seeks to follow through the
! perplexing paradoxes OF the Ulster
| situation, the issue that is now threat
enfnx England. is unlikely to arrive
at q simple understanding OF 1t all.
He must view the whole crisis in its
larger aspect in order to get its real
meaning.
Fundamentally, the fight Is not
Home Rule vs. Exclusion" 1t is not
Ulster against Ireland" 1t is not
Catholic against Protestant"
The issue is simply Democracy VS..
Aristocracy It Is the same old fight
that started at Runnymede and surg
ed slowly down to its most recent
victories In the budget act, the land
act and the parliament act.
The fight over Ulster Is the last
stand OF toryism against Lloyd
George. Ulster IL but the stick where.
with to beat the liberal movement.
Ulster Is merely the pretext upon
which the unionists would split the
liberal labor coalition and throw the
Asquith cabinet from once. =
Viewed from this angle. many OF
the intricacdes Of the present crisis
lose much OF their puzzlement to the
American observer It becomes clear,
for instance, why tory England has
all OF sudden developed such a pas
sionate devotion to few inhabitants
Of an island which tory England has
o4vo
the shocking price which the union
lists are willing to pay "to keep Ulster
free"
The sudden shift of the last few
days may well make this prics an
issue supreme above the article which
it was obtensibly meant to purchase.
The refusal OF the tory army oficers
to serve against Ulster has raised
above the Ulster issue itself the Ques-.
ton, Is England to be controlled by
its army? !
AS the London Daily News put It
yesterday:
The country is faced with the grav-
est issue that has arisen in our time.
1t is whether we are to be governed
by parliament or by the army Tho
power of tbs house of lords is gone,
and 1t fs now the army to which the
tories look to keep the democracy In
check and the aristocracy in power.
1t is this monstrous assumption
with which the government will now
have to deal The country will look
to tbs ministry to deal with 1t in =
spirit worthy OF great people who
are proud OF its free Institutions and
popular liberties.
For two years the government has
! exercised patience and restraint IN
the presence Of treason. That re-
straint must cease II any fragment OF
our liberties Is to remain. It is no
longer . question Of home rule for
Ireland but a question OF whether we
are to govern ourselves or are to be
governed by Brigadier General Cough.
! Though every onScer in the army be
dismissed, we will have no mailed
hand raised against our parliament.
II the army IL to be . tory institu-
ton to coerce the house of commons
when the liberals arc In power. then
We will break the army az We have
! broken the lords, ano make the army

Weather and Crop Report.

Denyer-Last week was character
ized by marked cloudiness, frequent
showers, heavy rain in localities, es-
pecially in the south-central counties,
and weekly mean temperature below
the seasonal average, says the United
States weather report. In the west
ern valleys the deficiency in tempera-
ture was quite marked. Satisfactory
crop growth has been nearly general.
The improvement in the condition OF
the ranges have been marked. Small
grain Is being harvested and in few
localities threshing is under way. The
harvesting of the second crop Of al
falfa has started on the Eastern slope
and will be general within few days;
the yield is generally good. The con-
dition OF alfalfa, sugar beets, corn
and pastures is exceptionally good.
Early potatoes. are being marketed in
the western part of the state and early
fruit is being shipped from western
fruit districts. Cherries and berries
are practically picked on the eastern
slope. The prospect for tomatoes,
melons and cantaloupes is excellent.
