STRING ON THE BONE
THROWN TO IRELAND.
How, Under International Law, Can a
State Recognize Inclpient Revolt
without Giving Cause for Offencei

WITHOUT living Cause Tor Onencci
To THE EDITOR or THE suN-sir. A
despatch from San Francisco dated Sep
TENDER II states that the San Francisco
Labor Council asked President Wilson
number of questions as to the opera
ton of the League of Nations, among
appended:
q. Under the covenant can this ma
tion Independently recognise a govern
/ ment whose people seek to achieve or
have achieved their Independence from
. member Of the Lacquer
A. The Independent action of the Gov
eminent of tho United States in. q
matter Of this kind IL in no way limit e
ed or affected by the covenant Of the
League Of Nations.
It is inconceivable that such an an
swer could have been given when we re-
feet upon the obligation to be assumed
under Article X, ito respect" &C.. "the
territorial integrity and existing politi-
cal Independence of all members of the
| League"
How Is II possible 'to respect the
territorial integrity Of another State
while extending recognition Of inde-
pendence to a revolving portion OF its
people7
Under the principles of the law of
nations a State may extend a recogni-
ton Of independence to a revolutionary
portion of another State without giving
cause for offence to the parent govern
ment only when such revolted portion
has established its independence and 1t
has become manifestly impossible for
the parent State to resubjugate It.
(Moore's Digest. Vol. L, PIP. s7-11o.)
Recognition of independence, extended
under any other circumstances, is a gross
| affront to the parent State, amounting
TO Intervention in It's internal concerns
and is cause for war. (Moore's Digest,
Vol. VIZ
The conclusion appears unacceptable
that. 80 far as a people seeking to
achieve Independence is concerned, the
extension of a recognition of independ-
ence before that Status is actually
established would be positively forbid
den under Article X. being in direct vio-
lation Of the obligation Ito respect" the
territorial integrity Of the parent State.
In the past the United States has not
always awaited the final success of re-
voting peoples before extending recog-
milton. We have only to recall the recog-
milton of the Cubans in 1898 as "a free
and Independent people, which Spain
Immediately perceived and acted upon as
cause for war. Nor did France await
the triumph of our arms over England
in ITS.
Recognition OF independence might be
extended consistently with Article X,
in the case Of people who had actually
won independence, since in that case
the territorial change would have be-
come a fat accompli. Yet, 1t may be
asked as a practical question. what
chance has any subject people to-day to
win its freedom alone and unaided?

HOW KANSAS FEELS.
Straight Talk TO the states Junior
United States Senator.

from TIE hdnsns CITY Star.
GooDLAND, Kan. Sept 13.--The follow
ing open letter has been sent to Senator
Arthur Capper:
Senator Copper, Washington, d. O.
DEAR SIR: You are acting contrary to
the wishes and opinions of the men who
elected you to the Office you now hold.
Some time ago several prominent Re
publicans of Sherman county wired you
the Republican sentiment in the Sixth
district, and, in their opinion. the entire
state favored the Knox resolution. Re-
plying thereto you stated you were for
the League Of Nations, with reserva-
TONS We Republicans of Kansas con-
slider that President Wilson virtually
made himself and his League Of Nations
a political iss-e last fall and both were
repudiated by more than a million votes
at the same election by which we elected
you a Republican Senator from Kansas,
at least one hundred Democrats in this
county voting for you for the express
purp0t7 of defeating the League Of Ma
lions. Every test Of sentiment on this
duestion-note Wichita Beacon test,
Omaha Bee test, veterans at Dodge City
test and numerous others-proves the
League of Nations. even with strong
reservations, would be defeated Ave or
more to one II the people could vote on
the question.
Our Republican paper here. knowing
the sentiment of the people, refuses to
print the extensive propaganda furnished
them free by the Taft League and
Democratic organization iavoring the
League of Nations, but our Democratic
paper here publishes all of It.
II you have any consideration for your
political future in Kansas you will Inn
nedlately line up with the "Bitter End
ers'-Borah, Lodge. Knox, johnson and
other true Republicans-and vote
against any League Of Nations what
ever, where you belong. and where we.
Republicans of Kansas. who elected you
Senator. expected to find you. Notwith-
standing the propaganda put out by the
Capper publications, we Republicans Of
Kansas do not fancy the Wilson brand
Of Americanism.
Yours for true Amoricanism,
NJ. z. GLIDDEN.

missioner Galloway was ousted for re-
fusal to help debauch the civil service
and that therein Mr.. Burleson had won
another victory. For months there had

Commissioner Galloway because Of the

termined TO support his Postmaster Gen

in 1913 he had appointed. Mr.. Gallo

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2i.--The Senate
took the first step to-day toward an
inquiry into the charges long circula ID
that Postmaster-General Burleson has
been at the bottom of the troubles Of
the Civil Service Commission, and that
his desire to control It for political pur-
poses has caused the forced resignation
Of two of its members.
Senator Norris (Neb.) introduced
several days ago q resolution directing
the Committee on Civil Service and Re-
trenchment to inquire into these charges,
with special reference to determine
whether the Presidents acquiescenoe In
the aims of the Postmaster General had
contributed to the development of the
situation. Mr.. Norris spoke on his
resolution to-day, setting forth the basis
of the charges and declaring his con-
viction that evidence would be advanced
demonstrating a deliberate purpose to
debauch the Civil Service by making
1t possible to overthrow the merit rules
and make appointments regardless Of
merit. Following these remarks Sena-
tor Mcclellan (Tenn) said he would
later make reply to the charges

wanted somebody else appointed OF his

Mr.. Norris read the order of the Presi-
