EASEMENT WAS DENIED
A TRIAL BEFORE PEERS
Remarkable Irishman Is Con.
demned To Die.---World De-
nands Executions Stop

Sir Roger Easements charge
that he has been denied justice
because he was refused trial in
Ireland by his own peers would
be good under our law. No
United States citizen accused of
treason could be taken away from
the scene of his act charged to be
reasonable and be tried in an
other jurisdiction. unless the
court of original jurisdiction
granted the change of venue.
The conduct of the Irish peer
unquestionably was reasonable.
But are there not others in Ire
land unwhipped of justice who
have conspired against the realm?
Was the organization of troops in
Ulster to resist home rule not
| in the same class.
With the execution of this re-
markable man fourteen Irishmen
involved in the Sim Fein upris-
ing will have been put to death.
The sentence of Easement comes
on almost the same day as the
conviction and sentence of DR..
Liebknecht in Berlin. But the
leader of the German socialists
did not receive a death sentence.
He is not even deprived of his
privileges as a member of the
Prussian diet and the German
reichstag. True his offence was
not nearly so serious, but the re
putation of the kaiser's govern
ment is for much more rigorous
punishment for anything smack
ing of treason than that of Grea
Britain.
Easements death penalty is t.
be meted out under a statute en-
acted sos years ago. Cast tn,
eye along the pages of the histor.
of English and Irish relation

thousand indictments for treaso
against justice and humanit,
could be found against Englan
in those pages. There is nothin

In the name of William {
Gladstone, who attempted
wipe out the foul blot, it is hope
that Great Britain will now sho'

The court of impeachment is
hearing the case of Gen. z. N.
Estes. The court will probably
not render it's verdict until the
middle of August, and by that
date the August election will
have passed into history. If
Gen. Estes should be removed
from office his successor will be
appointed, while if the court had
gone ahead with the case after
completing the Edgington hear
ing there would have been time
to elect an Attorney General in
August, in case of Gen. Estes
removal.
