Twentieth Century Treason.

In inflcting the death penalty upon xe chief
conspirators in Ireland the British government
fulfilled expectations, though the news of such
an event as the shooting of men found guilty
by military court of treason brings something
of shock to twentieth century civilization far
removed from the scene of the worlds greatest
war. An uprising in Ireland like the which
has just been suppressed, had it taken place while
England at peace with the rest of the
world, would not have brought its instgators to
their end in front of firing squad, but the
very fact that Germany is using all of her re-
sources to crush England was responsible for
the rebellious outbreak and for the fate of the
chief traitors. In justice to those heroic Irish
men who are facing German poisons and bullets
in France, in justice to the brave and loyal Irish
regiments which helped to crush the rebellion and
as a stern but just example to otherssn whose
hearts treason yet turks, England was compelled
to put to death those traitors to Great Britain,
who took advantage of her hour of stress to
ally themselves with her enemy traitors to the
cause Of Ireland in its ascendancy and traitors to
their fellow countrymen fighting the battle of
civilization.
The putting of the conspirators to death is
not likely to rekindle the flame in Ireland The
vast majority of it's people are steadfastly loyal
and the few who not will be awed by the
echo of the executioners' rifles. Regardless of
what fate may be in store for Sir Roger Case
ment the revolution, born of nfamy and mad
ness is at end. If Easement is insane his
life will doubtless be spared, vain consolation
for the tragedies into which others were led by
his madness If he is of sound mind, the traitors
death will be his also.
With few exceptions the many thousands Of
patriotic citizens OF the United States of Irish
nativity descent while deploring the infliction
of the extreme penalty, will recognize It's justice
and necessity. In many instances they have
manifested their adherence of the conspiracy and
its results, and with sorrow without bitterness
they will contemplate the inevitable climax

Rear Admiral A. c. Dillingham;. L. s.

whether he may be granted permission
to become a candidate for Congress from
the district that includes Norfolk. Va.

in the navy, If elected. Rear Admiral
Dillingham;, writes a CORES spondent at
Norfolk, states his sole purpose in seek

Norfolk and make It one Of the greatest
naval bases and ports in the world He
would be willing to accept the position
without pay If he could still retain his
commission in the navy. This question
arose many years ago at the time Of the
election to Congress df Maj. Gen. Daniel
E. Sicklee then on the retired list Of the
army. 1t was decided that the law per
mitted Gen. SiCkles to hold both Offices.
We believe the same question arose with
reference to the holding Of the position
Of mayor OF a Texas town by a retired
officer Of the army, and It was decided
iP the same way as in the case Of Gen.
Sickles. Sec. ,, act July 81. 1894 C2s Stat

Valuation of Utilities.

No subject that comes within the scope of
the civil enginer today requires clearer think
ing, in, the opinion of the Engineering Record,
than that Of valuation. The interests at stake
for the consuming public, and, in a double sense,
public utilities, is tremendous Variations of 10
per cent in small items. when multiplied by the
hundred thousands, give exceedingly large
figures.
Were every one thinking sancly the problem,
such is its compexity, would be difficulty
enough. Unfortunately, lawyers and economists
with little practical experience in railroad man
agement, engineering finance, have been called
upon for. the solution. There has resulted a
variety of theory that is bewderng to all but
those who have the knowledge and strength to
of doctrine" Silly are some of the theories,
vicious others, while many seem to be framed
merely to get, despite the equities in the case,
as much as possible for the side advancing the
argument

Rumors that Conflict.

Two utterly rreconcilable rumors were afloat
yesterday in Washington One had it that Con-
gress will not take recess while the national
conventions are in session, while the other was to
the effect that Speaker Champ Clark probably
would be selected as temporary chairman at St.
Louis OF course the House could remain in
session with Champ Clark "keynoting" at St.
Louis,| but what would be the use? Could the
sternest, most austere Speaker pro TEN keep the
members down to business under such circun-
stances? Hardly Which of the two rumors to
dismiss it is hard to decide, but with Speaker
Champ in the thick of things at the front there
will be nothing doing in the House worth putting
down in the Record.

General Hampton issued certificates
OF election to the Democratic prssi-
Dental electors
All the country saw, with an in
slant thrill Of misgiving, how perIlous
a situation was thus created.
Here were double returns from three
States in a presidential election, and
the decision which should be chosen
must determine the election One vote
out OF the twenty in dispute, though IL
were only the single questionable vote
OF oregon. would give the presidency
TO the Democrats
The control of the government turned
upon the action Of the houses when
they should come to count the votes in
joint session. The House Of Repre-
sentatives was Democratic, the Senate
Republican; there was no hope that
they could agree
No one could confidently say, though
he put partisanship aside and held his
Judgment at the incest poise. upon
which side the right lay in the dts
puted southern elections.
1t was plain enough that in any case
the returning boards would have given
the vote 70 the Republicans, whatever the
face of the returns, so long as the men
for whom they acted felt that they
could count upon the support Of the
Executive at Washington in the main
lenance Of their authority.
II was equally clear, on the other
hand, that there were all but indispu-
tcb.c evidences Of fraud or at the least ir-
regularity in the votes upon which the
Democrats relied.
In South Carolina serious riots had
occurred whose avowed object had
been the intimidation OF the negroes.
The country had grown very impatient.
as General Grant said, OF seeing gov
ernments maintained at the South by
federal arms. and wished very heart
lily to see the hand OF the federal EX-
ecutive withdrawn. come what come
might; and vet II was not as clear as
could be wished that this was the oC-
cassion for their legitimate overthrow.
Tomorrow The Electoral Commission.
The Washington herald., 1916-05-04

IN. the South at the presidential
election Uf 1876. nineteen electoral
votes were in dispute. In Louisiana
there had, apparently, been a clear
majority of Democratic votes cast at
the polls, alike for presidential cleo
tors and for governor and state leg
islatOrs; but once again the return
ing board, which was in the hands
of Republicans, had turned a Demo
cratic into a Republican majority by
rejecting the votes of precincts in
