Ulster and Arizona

The war in Ulster likely to be very sangunary affair." even if there should be all More blood will be shed by the press respondents before the conflict begins than will be shed in the of the actual hostilities Eng land has d much more serious proposition it's hands in militant suffrags than in the discontent in Ulster.
 We have been told of the extensive preparation in North Ireland for revolt against home rule; ot it's marshaled, well trained and well armed forces but it turns that there is nothing of it. There is deep and wide spread objection home rule; undoubtedly there will be serious clashes, for Irish men of neither the north the south tamey sub init to the things they do not like and there is nothing else the lrishmen of the north more thor oughly dislike than home rule. rule by their brethren of another religious faith There religious bitterness has been carefully preserved than in any other section of the civilized world.
 We may better understand the objection of Ulster to home rule by a comparison of the stua- ton there with the situation in Arizona for long time. though immediately prior to it's admission to statehood Always in Arizona there had been party of varying strength, opposed to statehood. At it's weakest stage it was composed those who holding the offices and their immediate friends, and their dependents in office and their immediate
 
 spoken for that would have been held to be treach cry Arizona whose slogan for quarter of a century had been "statehood.' We would be understood saying that all the office holders opposed to statehood The governors seldom but contrary usually did what they could for admission.
 Those who directly or remotely con- cerned in the offices all wanted statehood the pubcans believed, perhaps fatuousy that they might carry the The democrats felt quite sure that they could carry it. Anyway, they stood a better chance the polls than they did with a republican federal government
 But so long as the federal government publican and likely to continue so many republi- cans were in the position the of Ulster They didn't want home rule. We remember also during the second Cleveland administration many excellent deocrats not quite that capable of taking of ourselves and they let their doubts be known to the president and tary of the interior. Those who happened be holding the territorial offices feared that the people would prove good judges of true worth as the governent at Washington had been.
 But events so fe out that the year before the admission Arizona all ant-home rule sentiment had practically disappeared After the election of 1910 there believe that the democrats would come into control the federal government in 1912 The election of delegates to the consttu tional convention left reasonable doubt that the democrats would control the state in the event of statehood It did therefore make much differ ence so the offices concerned, to either the democrats republicans, whether we had home rule or not. The democrats hopful in either event and the republicans equally hopeless.

incidents of the war in Europe, where
two-thirds perhaps of the Christian world

ADJUSTMENTS.
1.-THE Dragons Claw"

Neither playwright nor players could
have asked for more appreciative au-
dience than that which greeted the pre-
miere of Austin Strong's new play, THE
Dragons Claw at the opening of the
New National Theater for it's regular
season last night. 1t was an audience
that filled the house with an atmos-
phere OF enthusiasm which manifested
itself in applause and curtain calls from
the outset. Until at the close of the sec
ond act nothing would do but that Mr..
Strong should come to the footlights and
make little speech and Henry Miller,
under whose direction the play was pro-
duced, had done likewise. Many who
could not claim the privilege of doing it
on the stage also made speeches from
their seats in the audience to their near
by neighbors. Altogether, from the
standpoint of the audience, not yet ac-
climated. perhaps, from stock expert
ences Of the summer to critical frame
of mind, it was an auspicoious opening
for Mr.. Strong's new play.

press.veness. as well as of costumes and

Interesting problems in utility and es-
thetics in connection with the construc-
ton of the building to be erected in this
city in memory of the women of the
civil war shortly will be determined by
President Wilson and the other members
of the commission charged by Congress
with the erection of that memorial. The
other members of the commission are
Secretary Garrison, Senator Lea and
Representative Slayden of Texas, chair
men, respectively, of the Senate and
House committees on library. Under
the law the proposed building is to be
devoted to the purposes Of the American
Red Cross. The sum OF $4,000 is avail
able for the memorial, $4,000 of which
was appropriated by Congress and
$4,000 was contributed by private in
dividuals.
The site selected by the commission
for the building is the square bounded
by 18th and 18th and d and E streets
northwest. and the sum of $4,000 was
paid for that property. The approved

Kind of Marble Undetermined.

| Although it is settled that the me-
! mortal shall be constructed of marble
| the precise kind has not been de-
! termined. White marble generally is
used in monumental structures erected
BY the government, and its use for
the civil war memorial finds many ad-
vocates, but, as usual in such cases
there is a variety of opinion as to the
adapted to the purpose. A suggestion
that is favorably considered by some
officials interested In the proposed me-
mortal involves the use of pink Ten

structure q distinctive and impressive

have given general satisfaction in APP
pearance as well as in utility.
An officer of the commission was sent
to New Haven to inspect the building.
with the result that the specifications

structural marble, including colored
marble.
Since the opening of bids for the con-
struction of the building the commission
has instituted a general investigat on of
the structural qualities of the various
kinds of marble entering into the compe-
tition with view to selecting the one best
adapted to the particular purposes of the
memorial. These Investigations include
in addition to the color, appearance and
Strength of the stone. considerations as to

the enthusiasm was unquestionably at a
