WHAT DO THE IRISH WANT?
government

The question of questions in Ireland
is a question. This editorial is large
ly interrogative.
Some time ago there were three
groups in Ireland:
First: Those who desired independ-
ence.
Second: Those who desired home
rule but not independence.
Third: Those who desired no con-
stitutional change-willing to let we'll
enough alone.
At the present time the Sim Fem
yourselves aIone) party is uppermost,
The recent election has given them
full swing, but is there a soul on earth
who can tell what will happen? What
are the Sim Feiners really going to
do? On the other hand what will the
British government do? 1t would be
just like the Sim Feiners to go ahead
and attempt to walk over England,
SO to speak. What will be the next
move on the board by John Bull? Can
Great Britain tolerate a move that
means serious independence If a
feet of battleships should drop their
anchors along the coast of ireland,
would the radicals dare to make a
move? The business men, especially
the bankers in Ireland, do not want a
disturbance, but will they have the
strength to prevent trouble? Those
who were recently elected say they
will not go to the English seat of gov

CATHOLIC WOMAN'S
CLUB HOLDS MEET

The Catholic Woman's club met at
st. Joseph's school on January ~,
Thirty-five ladies were present. After
opening invocation, the musical pro-
gram was given. 1t consisted of duets
and solos, both vocal and instrument
tai, given by six little boys and six
little girls, ranging in age from seven
to nine years. 1t was immensely en-
joyed by all.
Following the business meeting,
paper was read on "Child Welfare" by
Mrs. Jay Hubbard Mrs. Hubbard
said in part: "The searchlight OF war
has shown us that an alarming per"
centage of our young men were re-
iected because of physical defects and
disease which were with them since
infancy, and which defects, if taken
in time, could be avoided. This has
started a campaign of publicity and
education in child hygiene and the
conservation of child life. The nation
will get great results and reward IL
this work is we'll done now. The moth
ers should be aroused to the neces-
sity of joining this campaign. BABY
wear was 1916 and much good and In
structive work was done in this re-
spect. Children are the basis OF the
state, as they live or die, intelligent or
ignorant, so fares the state; hence the
tremendous necessity Of proper care
for the child" She compared the
striking contrast Of the death rate Oh
the poor children to that of the rich
"The health and care OF the mother
is not to be overlooked in this matter.
Mothers working outside OF their
homes should be discouraged when
ever possible The chances for the
underfed overworked child to develop
into a good citizen are very small.
The strongest bodies and the clearest
minds are needed now as at no other
time. The wisest care we can, theres
fore. bestow upon our children is the
surest investment for our country's
future. The responsibility of the
American father and mother is sud-
denly increased hundredfold. For,
truly, as we SOW so shall we reap;
and never was it so necessary and so
vital that the harvest of American
men and women of the future shall
be productive of the best"
Mrs. Hubbard's paper was immense
ly enjoyed by all.
Adjournment was then taken until

MEN OF COLOR

Men of every color and creed fought
together in the trenches of France.
No invidious distinctions were drawn.
A recognition of common humanity
does not admit of the drawing of a
color line.
Our colored troops in the war fought
magnifcently and won distinction for
themselves. For the first time in
their lives, probably, they have had
something like a square deal.
Colored men have proven their
Americanism. In reconstructed
world they are entitled to stand on
their merits as Americans. But in
certain parts of this country, as yet
unreconstructed, they will still be re-
gaTded, not as men, but as "niggers.' -
The colored man demands equal op-
portunity, respect for his manhood,
the right not to be Disseminated
against because of his color or 'pre-
vious condition of servitude" He does
not ask for admission to white society.
He does not desire intermingling of
the races. If white blood runs in his
veins, it is because of the sins of
white men.
The race question in this country is
not settled. 1t is full of peril because
the black man is becoming more and
more conscious of his powers and
conscious, on the other hand, of the
injustices of his position.
Race egotism brought the German
people low. 1t i'll BELTS a people who
claim devotion to Christian and demo
cratic principles. The white and col
ored races in this country can live to-
gether in peace and amity, but it must
be on different basis than hereto
fore. 1t must be on basis of live and

PUBLIC BENEFACTORS

Motoring has done more for road inn
Drovement in a few years, says the
Christian Science Monitor, than the

half a century. Perhaps that is be-
cause motorists pay as they go, while
returns from other sources are less
direct. In any event, the circum-
stance is a fortunate one for all con-
cerned. Better roads mean wider ag.
ricultural development and easier
marketing. and these results are, or
should be, reflected in more abundant

Maurice Deppe has returned from
the auto show in Chicago, While there
he saw the Curtiss Bi plane, with the
liberty motor in action. Mr.. Deppe
says that this motor can only run 10
hours without a complete overhauling.
The liberty motor has only short
life without an overhauling because Of
the intense power it has. The propel-
lor in action guided by the liberty
motor has enough force to blow a man
off his feet if he is standing in front
OF the machine.

Welcome Yesterday Is the Greatest Ovation Extend ed Since Return of Dewey Congress Tenders For nal Reception Today
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1


 WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-Hoarse with cheering, Washington rested to- night, satisfied that it had paid full honor to General J. J. Pershing and the fighting men of the First division.
 The nations victory parade was over For nearly three hours a rolling flood of soldiers, of guns and horses, of tanks and motor trucks, had poured up Pennsylvania avenue without check or halt to pass the reviewing stand where stood Vice President Marshall, representing President Wilson.
 Riding at the head of the mighty column General Pershing was carried forward along the whole line of march as though on a wave of sound as the nation and city gave him his formal greeting. To no American since Ad- miral George Dewey came home in triumph from Manila has such an ova tion been rendered Nor has the end yet come; for tomorrow congress will formally add it's tribute to that of the city and the nation and, with business put to one side, tender the expedition ary commander a formal reception al the capitol.
 Fresh from the loyal tribute paid them in New York, the men of the First division marched with full fighting equipment.
 But it was to the solid blocks of tht infantry, trudging sturdily ahead, tha the heart of the crowd went out. Terst placards told where each unit hat fought
 To men wounded in battle. and noi yet able to march, special tribute wal given as they rode by in motor cars And to the group in invalid chairs un- der the trees of a park just beyond tht reviewing stand, or lying full lengtf in their stretchers along the curb witt nurses lowering about them, thert flowed a strong current of sympath, and pride among the thousands grouped about.
 In winding up the ceremonies of re- ception to General Pershing tomorrow congress will meet in joint session the members of the senate marching in a body to the house chamber for tn, purpose. Senator Cummins, presiden pro tenn of the senate, and Speaker i Gllett will deliver the addresses O welcome, while former Speaker Champ Clark will extend the formal thank of congress to General Pershing ant his men as expressed in the joint reso l lution already adopted.

ONLY AMERICA IS DENIED. RIGHT TO AMEND TREATY. SENATOR JOHNSON DECLARES.

They require us. They yield to us nothing; they can yield to us nothing. We give to them everything. We can protect our borders for centuries to come, just as we have in the century past The Lord has given us our geographical isolation, and the Lord has denied just that thing to the diff ferent races of Europe. And while our internationalists in behalf of the league of nations prate of the fact that we can not longer remain isolated, they forget that the geography of the sit uation remains immutable.
 Tt was in the name of Americanism that our boys went across the seas, that you so cheerfully gave of your blood and treasure, but you are now told that this Americanism is narrow, selfish, lacking in altruism, devoid of vision, and we are asked to blot it out to substitute for patriotism, interna- tionalism.
 We at Washington say it shall not be done"
 In the audience were Chief Justice Andrew Morrisey of the Nebraska su preme court, a democrat; former Gov ernor C. H. Aldrich, justice of the Ne braska supreme court; and Charles W Bryan. brother of Wm Jennings Bryan.
 Senator Johnson will be rendered a luncheon tomorrow by the Commercial club of Lincoln after which he will leave for Duluth, Minnesota, where he speaks Friday night.
