The republican party in its platform

In addition to that the Legislature OF

railroad companies responsible for coal

MISS JANET RICHARDS
LECTURES ON ULSTER
Reviews Situation in Ireland Before
Large Audience at Wood
ward & nfhrnn's

Miss Janet Richards addressed large
audience yesterday morning in the audi
torium at Woodward & Lothrop's on
Foreign Affairs" Beginning with the
Irish excitement in Ulster, Miss Richards
gave an interesting review of the nine
years administration Of English affairs
under the Liberal party. touching espe-
cially upon the Lloyd George program
of so-called social uplift' for the bene-
fit of the submerged fifth in Great Britain.
While the "old age pension and in
suranCe acts" were for the relief of the
poor and neglected. the fact that their
enforcement greatly increased the rates
laid upon the already qyerburdened Brit
ish taxpayer. had caused such great dis
content that Miss Richards confidently
predicted a Conservative victory should
there be general election in Great
Britain tomorrow. The real reason why
Ulster refused. through its spokesman.
Sir Edward Carson, to accept the six
months compromise offered by Mr.. As
quith. Miss Richards believed to be the
determination of the opposition TO stand
out for nothing less than general cleo
ton at once. hoping thereby to again
