HOME RULE

TIIIE principle of local self government
L is proclaimed by both sides in the de-
bate on the Irish question, which for the
moment again threatens to become the
most serious of Englands troubles. The
Nationalists demand home rule for Ire
land at once. Lloyd George replies that
1T Is impossible to impose by force on
any section OF Ireland form of govern
ment which has not its consent" 1t is a
fight for home rule for all Ireland as a
united people against home rule for Cath
olic ireland accompanied with home
rule for the Protestant part of Ulster.
II Ulster were all Protestant the problem
might be more simple; but 1t is about
evenly divided between Catholics and
Protestants. And the Catholics of the
south are not willing that their brethren
in the northeast corner OF their country
should be governed by English and Prot
estant influences.
Ex.Premier Asquith's suggestion, which
Mr. Lloyd George promised to consider,
was that Parliament invite some outside
impartial authority, such as the Colonial
statesmen now in England, to submit a
plan to Parliament. If these statesmen
advised federation OF the peoples of the
Empire, with Ireland enjoying the same
liberty tina: Canada has today. their pro.
posal would have great weight. The fu.
ture arrangement of Imperial Govern,
ment is not, however, uppermost in the
Premier's mind Just now. evidently. He
is bent on the practical matter Of winning
the war, and sees a choice of two evils,
a possible Irish Nationalist rebellion and
a possible Ulster rebellion. He seems to

GIVE US A RUN FOR OUR
MONEY

WIHEN n taxpayer looks at the condi-
w tion Of the streets he doubts whether
he is getting the worth OF his money.
Dust and filth abound and the pavement
is full of holes. Some Of the holes in the
asphalt are repaired with granite blocks
that settle, making basins TO hold water.
when It rains one has TO wade through
the small ponds at the crossings. and
when Il Il dry ones eyes and nostrils are
filed with disease.breeding dust.
If no better results are obtained from
the expenditure OF public money where
we cannot see what we get for it than
those which follow the expenditure Of
money on the streets, the city is in bad
way. No extenuetion for the guilt of the
local authorities can be found in the asser-
ton that conditions in other cities are
worse.

ways. says that $lO,OOOOOO would be
needed to put the streets in proper repair
He has only s1,5OO,OO0 for repavng. He
cannot get the remaining SS,500,000
needed. We seem to be doomed, there
fore, to suffer for a long time to come.
Yet 1t is difficult to understand why our
rulers do not pursue a wiser policy. If
they should make the externsls of the
city so presentable that we would all be
proud Of them, they could also point with
pride TO the success of their way Of
governing us.
How long before they decide that 1t is
worth their while to give us a run for our
money?

DISMEMBERING AMERICA

To the Editor OF the Euentng Led1eT:
Sir-The proposal by Herr Zimmerman
to cede New Mexico, Arizona and Texas to
Mexico came as a surprise. OF course, the
cession was to be contingent upon Mexico,
Japan and Germany engaging in a sue
cessful war against the United States. 1t
was fortunate for us that the four Indiana
guardsmen held up Zimmermann's messenger
on the Rio Grande and prevented the docu-
ments which he bore from reaching Car
rama. Here we have confrmatory evil
dence that the Lord extends special pro-
lection over the United States. as well as
over fools and drunken men.
Herr Zimmerman is spokesman for Prus-
sia, and Prussia has formed a habit of dis
posing OF other countries, giving away for
a price, such as are not wanted by her.
She gobble1 up all of South Germany and
placed 1t under her amiable administration.
She took over Schleswlg- -Holstein, Alsace
and Lorraine, Belgium, northern France
and Poland, and is casting longing eyes
toward Switzerland, Denmark, Norway,
Sweden, Italy, Austria, Bulgaria, Rumania,
Turkey and all of Islam. Now she proposes
to take over the various oceans and attach
them to the empire Of the Hohenzolerns.
Yet Prussia is only n small place, COM
prising just one-half the area of Texas.
All Germany, as now constituted. is much
smaller Than Texas and less than one-half
the size of the three States she proposes
to carve out of the United States and pre-
sent to Carranza.
But, Herr Zimmerman, why stop here
Why not cut up Uncle Sans domain, the
better TO fit in with your ambitious scheme
for world control? Make a deal with Eng
land to give back Quebec to France an
other with Russia to seize from us the
Territory of Alaska; give Turkey the New
England States; give Holland Manhattan
and the Hudson River valley, that once
were hers give California and the other
Pacific coast SlLtes and the Panama Canal
to Japan give the Appalachian Range, ir
Pennsylvania, and the brewery sections OF
Milwaukee and ST. Louis to Austria.
And, for your share, take all our State.
bordering on the Gulf of Mexico, thus Sc
curing control OF the Gulf of Mexico and
the mouth of the Mississippi River; ant
don't miss Cuba and the other West India
islands. Then look around and see wha
else you would like to have. There remain
Central and South America to work on
and they ought to be easy.
All this can be done Herr Zimmerman
before the Senate gets ready to act-tha
is, If nothing can be done by us until tn,
| Senate does act. .....,, t-..

A STONE THAT OUGHT TO BE

yETILLIANI j. STONE, of Missouri, is
w chairman Of the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations by the operation of the
rule of seniority.
He has disqualified himself for presid.

of his intellectual and moral incapacity.
The Senate is preparing to break prcce.
dents by mitigating its rule permitting
unlimited freedom of debate
1t is time that it broke another prece-
dent and selected for the chailmanship
of its Committee on Foreign Relations a

doubt.
The Missouri Senator's usefulness on
