with the Slovenes. and allow each
county of Ulster to vote itself in or out
of the excepted area, and to this ex-
cepted area would apply q system or
government similar to that existing in
Scotland. 1t would become an outlying
portion of Great Britain, which might
or might not link itself with the re-
mainder of Ireland. At a later date
it would be represented in the British
Parliament on the same footing as the
rest of the country. The objection to
this solution is that it cuts the body Of
Ireland in two.
The alternative plan, proposed by Sir
Edward Carson, is to take the province
of Ulster as the famous covenant took
it, and exempt it from the machinery
of the Irish Parliament, providing at
the same time some means by which
common affairs could be discussed and
settled by mutual consent, with the
power to extend this machinery and, if
desired, to join later. on terms decided
by itself, IN common system Of gov
eminent with the three other PROV
inces.
Such an arrangement seems to the
unbiased view more elastic than the
first scheme. Ulster contains two Cath
olics to every three Protesants, so the
minority would be we'll able to take
care of itself.

LONDON, Oct. 1.-Ireland is watch
ing Developments in London closely.
The Sim Fe!ners are reported to be
preparing an emphatic "No" to what
is believed will be the governments
suggestion for settlement. The ma
tionalist press Of Ireland is pessimistic
over the new effort which will begin
with the meeting of the Cabinet com
mittee Tuesday to settle the Irish ques-
ton.
1t is assumed that the Cabinet is
committed to the possibly permanent
exclusion Of unionist Ulster, and the
South Irish press emphasizes the state
ment that any plan based on that prin-
ciple has not the slightest chance Of
success.
Although the government has an
nounced that the decision to attempt
a settlement has not been hastily taken,
it is fact that if nothing is done, the
Home Rrule act, which became a law in
the autumn Of 1914, and which was
suspended for the duration of the war,
automatically becomes effective with
the final ratification Of peace. Mean
while the whole problem has changed,
and the measure which five years ago
might have settled the Irish question
is now repudiatcd as wholly made
quate.
There are two policies. One, repre-
scented by Lord Robert Cecil, would
proceed along the strict lines of self
determination. 1t would deal with III
ster as the peace conference dealt

Robbed of Life Savings.
Waterman Kills Self
Felled While at Work, Chases
Thief; Chooses Death Rather
Than Tell His Family

Joseph Pagaret, night Waterman at
the Clifton Paper Mills, at Clifton, N.
j., usually carried in an inside pocekt
sum larger than was held in the
company's safe. Last night he went
to work with his life's savings, slightly
more than $1,000, in his vest pocket.
During the evening a visitor at the
mills found that the Waterman had
disappeared. A pool of blood in the
middle Of the floor led away in a tiny
trail, evidently left by man In rapid
flight. The visitor followed it to the
Passaic River, across the river, through
a field and to a mill pond. There
he found the body of Pagaret, his
pockets torn and reversed, his money
gone.
When the tragedy was piccd to-
gether, bit by bit, it was found that
Pagaret had been knocked down and
robbed. When he recovered conscious
ness and realized that his savings had
been taken, he is believed to have
given chase, swan the Passafc River,
and, on finding that he could not
overtake the robbers, took his own life.

Legal Adviser to Chinese
President Pleads With

Warning that improper settlement Of

dent Of the Chinese Republic, pleaded
yesterday afternoon at the luncheon of
the League Of Free Nations Associa-
tions at the Hotel Commodore that
America should stand by China.
"The situation as it now stands is
no settlement" declared DR.. Ferguson.

there Is no peace in it. The only way
for America is to amend the treaty"

coded him-Mr. Colby arose and said
it was better to ratify the treaty. now

Colby, in his address, with reference
to the treaties Of 1898 and 1915. 1t
is better for the world to grant tenn
porarily the demah ds of japan than
to scrap the whole treaty.
"If in 1919 the award of German
rights in Shantung to Japan is so
bad, Why sy9, didn't the Chinese protest
IL am greatly disappointed at the
way the treaty and the league Of ma.
tions were taken up at Paris" said
DR.. Ferguson. "The Shantung award
is unjust because it is in direct con-
fiict with the treaties in regard to the
territory. Japan, in her ultimatum to
Germany, August Is, 1914, said her
aim was to make restoration to
China Of her territory, especially
Kiao- Chau.
Japanese Grip Closing
Japan has not done this. She has
spread herself all over the province
Of Shantung and is making it difficult
as to restoration to China. Japan is
making every effort, since the taking
Of Kiao- Chau. to strengthen her hold
so as to make less possible her dis
possession.
Japan has from $4,000 to 100000
Japanese in the province, part of her
gendarmes and Of her army. Many Of
them are in uniform, and they are
dominating the Chinese in every way.
"What the Paris conference did
was to transfer the German rights to
Japan, and the result was that Japan
got more than Germany actually held
in Shantung.
"Japan's dependence always has
been on the good will Of the Ameri-
foot Of Japan's territory. Our atti-
tude should be the same toward China
in helping her get on her feet Japan
has received unmentionable benefits
from US, and she should be the last
to say that we should approve her
possession Of Shantung."
$. 2. Wood. Chinese student at
Columbia University, compared the
status Of Alsace-Lorraine before the
war with the Shantung award. "Shan-
tung Is more sinister, more unjust and
more immoral than the case Of Al
SAGE Lorraine" he declared. "If JUS
tice is not done Shantung is destined
to be the cause of a future wax"

THE CENSUS BUREAU

Ever since 1890 a census of the
United States has been taken every
ten years. The Census Bureau fur
nishes all kinds of statistics and is a
great aid to historians. In accom-
p!ishing this tremendous task the
United States is divided into districts
and these districts divided by making
the congressional districts of the sew
eral states sub-district.
The city OF SissetGn mas been lur-
tunate enough, thru DR.. Longstreth,
to have the headquarters of the 2nd
district located here The Importance
and the advertisement a community
gets by such a favor, is shown by
what the business men of White
River, S. d., did to retain the head
quarters for that district. White
River is little village, 80 miles from
a railroad. The district supervisor
after discovering that fact was going
to change it, on account of the
political facilities. But the business
men got together and provided means
whereby the mailing facilities would
be made adequate and keep the head
quarters for the 3rd district there
The first district headquarters is To-
Gated at Yankton. Our district atkes
in the northeastern portion of the
state consisting of all the counti.s
east of the river and north of Buffalo,
Jerould, Sandburn, Miner, Lake and
Moody counties.
Every citizen should take an n
dividual interest in the taking of the
census and help to make them ac-
curate and successful. Anyone can
obtain blank schedule by applying
at Headquarters, Sisseton, S. ID. This
schedule is the same as the enumer-
ator fills out when he enumerates a
party, the questions asked are all
there and can be filled out before you
are reached by the enumerator. You
can then read tn answers to him. This
schedule may be kept by the party
and if not value as future reference
will be nice as keep sake.

there are certain obligations shat fall
to the business man and certain obli-

both follow them out. each will be
benefited by the other. The duty of
the local paper, that of bringing about
cooperation and harmony between
he business man and the farmer and
promoting community interest, is not
at all an easy one to perform, and
can only be brought about by an eff
fort by both to coperate with each
other.
The method of cooperation will
eventually resolve itself into a prac,
tice of patronizing to the extent that
the others establishment is patronized
in spite of the fact that it is not alto

IJUDGE ANDERSON
SPEAKS ON ANiERIC.ANIsNI

q The address ON Americanism de-
Presbyterian church last Sunday
evening was we'll attended, and the
subject we'll presented in an Ameri-
can like manner.
Rev Irwin opened the service and
after the usual announcements, said
that next Sunday evening would be
devoted to the ''White Christina"
exercises, by the Sunday school, cm-
phazing the spirit of giving rather
than receiving.
The meeting was then turned over
to the Mems Brotherhood and Mr..
Knapp, the president introduced the
speaker.
After reviewing the accomplish
ments OF the United States since the
signing of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence. the Judge in substance said,
that this country was united during
the late war, but since then there
had been an unrest that was causing
division. That there was a move
on foot to over throw this form OF
government by force. That we need
not be afraid OF amy foreign foe, as we
could lick them all put together; but
to be aware of the foe from within,
those who did not believe in the bal
lot; that believed in accomplishing
their ends by the un-American prin-
cipals OF mob rule and force. And that
all true Americans should stand to-
gether to arrest this movement
The Judge then gave to our flag the
glowing tribut it deserves.
