The SeditiOn in Ireland.

In the spring and summer of 1914, shortly be-
fore the outbreak of the European war, the Irish
problem, which for long months past had given the
British Government keen anxiety, darkened to-
ward crisis. Defiant of the Home Rule bill, then
vouchsafed by the House of Commons despite the
veto of the Lords. the Ulsterites were openly
threatening rebellion Berlin, shrewdly watching
developments concluded that Great Britain would
be too much engrossed with domestic troubles to
enter a foreign conflict; and on that assumption,
many observers believed Germany flung the brand
that set the world afire.
But calculations awry. No sooner was
Belgium invaded than the British called truce
to internal differences and threw their strength
intellectually against the Central Empires. The
Irish problem dissolved The Obstetrics who had
been mastering for revolt enlisted promptly and
ardently by tens Of thousands in the Empires
cause The Home Rule bill, though formally
law suspended until normal conditions should
return; and seventeen months went by without the
faintest fulfllment of Germany's hope that Ireland
would rebel.
Interestingly enough, the sedition that recent
ly has fared up in that land is not in Ulster the
hotbed of opposition to Home Rule, but in South
Ireland where, the British Government due
especially loyal support, matter of political
justice if not patriotism From such reports
as the censorship lets through it does not ap-
pear that the uprising will be longived or really
formidable, though all Ireland has been placed
under martial law and Premier Asquith admits
that the revolutionary movement shows signs of
spreading
There have been sundry rumors of late that
German agencies at work in parts of Ireland.
Certainly, the seditious element has received for
eign aid and comfort and but for the vigilance of
the British fleet would have received far more. 1t
is hardly to be imagined, however, that the revolt
in Dublin will reach such extent seriously to
interfere with Englands prosecution of the war.
The probability is that whatever satisfaction Ger
many may derive from the present situation will
be of short tenure.
For the future of Ireland however the affair
is full of significance. When the war is over Ul-
sters stanch loyalty to the Empire will be remem
bered and the treachery in other provinces will
not be forgotten.

According TO records compiled by officials of
the Interstate Commerce Commission, the Louis
vile and Nashville railroad together with its sub
sidiary the y. c. and St. L.. issued in the course
OF the year 1913 more than twenty-five thousand.
eight hundred free passes, representing nearly
eight million miles of travel and cash valuation
of some two hundred and twenty-sx thousand
dollars.
As there guiIeless persons who imagine
that the l.. and Ms scheme TO build competing
line parallel to the Western and Atlantic railroad
is wholly free from suspicious intent there may
he others equally guilefess who regard this whole
sale issuance of free passes as an entirely inno-
cent affair. But to the average observer, the
tactics of the L. and y. in Tennessee and Ken
lucky smack rather strongly of effort to infu-
enee legislatures and courts. just its policies
in Georgia suggest a purpose TO rule ruin the
State Road.
This suspicion is deepened when learn from
the records OF the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion that the free passes which the l. and y. scat
tered so Iavishly went to newspapers, court Off
ciaIs and even TO witnesses and jurors well
10 members of the Legislature. Among the copies
of letters referred in the record is request
ing passes for members of the family of a GER
tain Kentucky judge. This judge. the letter
stated
Has decide practically every case in our
favor that has come before him, and we have
a great many small ones I think perhaps.
will be in position. by getting this favor for
him. TO get a better class of jurors"
This sort of business carries its own condem-
nation. 1t is contrary to the plainest laws and
orders OF the Interstate Commerce Commission
and hostile TO the interests of good government
and public rights. II represents methods which
no corporation that understands the spirit of the
times would employ. II is a survival of the old
alliance between corrupt politics and corrupt bust
pcs.
In the light OF such record Georgia has good
reason to look WE'LL at this iuncture to the safety
and interests of the State road.

many who do not dissipate find themselves never

So common is this condition that EMPLOYERS of

In this they are in error. For it has been
proved by experiment that man can work con-

they have used it unwisely.
Many of them, to begin with. make the mistake
of sleeping far into Sunday morning.
If mans work all week has been unusually

morning may indeed be needed. But many late
sleepers do not really need the amount of sleep in
which they indulge.
When a man takes more sleep than is really
necessary, there is unfavorable effect his

Manaceine, puts it:
IF one sleeps longer than the repose of con-
