Irish Denounce T, r.

Former President Roosevelt was
denounced for his criticism OF Presi-
dent Wilson in resolutions adopted
one night last week at a meeting Of
Irish citizens OF St. Louis. Plans
were made for all Irish mass meeting
in the Coliseum when the influenza
ban is lifted
The resolutions scoring Roosevelt
were drafted by John p. Leal,y. the
Rev. L. J. Brady, DR.. X. Emmett
Kane and Charles ]. Dolan.
The resolutions brand as false
Roosevelt's statements that the Al
lies have not accepted President Viii
sons fourteen peace terms and that
it was sheer nonsense that the Amer
lean army was fighting for these
points.
Rooscvelt's. statements are called
unfounded and disloyal. He is ac
cused OF having sought to degrade
the United States to the position OF
second rate power.

Big Money for Country Produce.

If the average citizen was asked
what, in his opinion, was paid out in
Butler each year for country produce,
butter, eggs, chickens, etc. he would
miss it about 50 per cent. During the
past year one firm in this city. the
Home Produce & Manufacturing
Company, has paid out to the farm
ers and their wives, and much the
larger part of it to the wives. in the
neighborhood of $4oo,ooo Just be-
fore Thanksgiving they bought 10000
pounds of turkeys. for which they
paid from 26 to Is cents per pound.
The turkeys were bought on foot
and dressed before shipmen, and
dressing that many turkeys is no
small job, but the company have
several expert pickers on the pay roll
who draw from $40 to SIS per day
during the season.

| the war. Neither the former kaiser
nor his lieutenants are sacrosanet.
| There are jurists from the various al
lied countries big enough to give the
former kaiser a fair trial. With all
bunal and with the eyes OF history
scrutinizing the record forever. there
would be little question about all the
facts, for and against the defendant,
being brought out and properly
weighed. 1t is novel contention
that any ruler may become so no
torious in his infamy that civilization
cannot find method OF passing on
his guilt and must, therefore. let him
go unwhipt OF justice. except for
torturing conscience. bitter memoir
les and the loss of human respec:
and sympathy" as a local special
pleader for the former kaiser puts it.
Would not the same theory apply 10
private offenders, il they failed of
their ambitions after committing
crimes in sufficiently spectacular
style and on a wholesome scale?
We believe that international law
will warrant Holland in surrendering
the kaiser for trial There are even
special treaties under which he might
be eNtradited. Personal accountable.
ty Of rulers for unjust wars is no
new doctrine. We recently quoted
what Emerich de Vattel's Law Of
Nations published in the eighteenth
century, said on the subject But If
there were no precedent the war was
unprecedented in many respects and
the situation would warrant the es-
tablishirg of such a wholesome pre-
cedent. 1t is no merely because the
war was unjust that its managers
should be punished, but beacuse it
was waged in barbarous fashion. IN
defiance of all laws OF God and
man. We did not bring Jefferson
Davis to trial, it is true but Henry
Wirz was hanged for injuring the
health and destroying the. lives of
prisoners at Andersonville. Just as
his superior officers would have been
had they been responsible. 1t is
premature to discuss the punishment
of the kaiser. The main thing is to
fix personal responsibility for the
crimes Of the war, both as a matter
of justice and as n matter OF history.

Wilhelm Not Sacrosanct.

Objections to the trial of Wilhelm
Hohenzollern based on the lack OF
an international tribunal and estab-
lished processes are coming from
sources not accustomed to magnify
ing the value of precedents and tech
nicalities. The peace conference,
which is to renake the map of con-
tinents, might be entrusted to pro-
vide tribunal for trial of the for
mer kaiser and other high officials
suspected of being personally re-
sponsible for the wholesale violations
OF the usages of civilized warfare

SECY. WILSON SPEAKS IN
MOONEY CASE
Says Strikes Will Not Result in
Securing of Fair Trial.

Washington, Dec. 7.-Secretary OF
Labor William B. Wilson has raised
a protest against threatened strikes
designed to influence public opinion
in favor of Tom Mooney, the convict
ed California bomb plotter, recently
saved from the death sentence by in
fluence of President Wilson.
Secretary Wilson's attitude was ex-
pressed in a letter to Otto A. Hart
wig, president of the Oregon state
federation of labor, appealing to the
workers of the Pacific coast not to
strike.
mo strikes" the secretary says,
"can give fair trial to Mooney, nor

King George Unlikely to Visit U. s..
London Says.

London. Dec. o.-That King
George will visit America, as a return

to England, is not regarded as likely.
1t was pointed out today that the
presidents coming is not a personal
visit to the king, but part of his
itinerary in attending the peace con-
ference, as a result of which diplo-
matte custom will not require that
the visit be returned.

the White House from President

George Washington. Secretary Tu-
nudity, who went to New York to see
the President off for the Peace Con-
ference Wednesday. got back to his
desk today in time to handle the first
of the instructions.
1t is understood that, except for a
report of the nomination of Carter
Glass as Secretary OF the Treasury. it
has not been necessary so far to
bring any matter OF Importance to
the Presidents attention. Tumulty
expects, however, to communicate
with his chief almost as freely as
though he were in the White House.
"a special code for the purpose has
been devised and the executive mes
sages are given priority over all 9TH
er business through the naval radio.
The appointment of new Director
General of Railroads, it was said to-
day, probably will be delayed at least

railroad problem before announcing
the appointment.
