MAYOR COUZENS BLACKLISTED
ENGLOMANIACS

Because Mayor Couzens, of Detroit officially vel
coined President De Valera last week, he has been
black-sted by British royalty. According to news
dispatches, the committee in charge of the recep-
ton and banquet to the Prince of Wales on the
casion of his crossing the Detroit River from Wind
sor, Canada, to the United States have withdrawn
the invitation to attend which to have been sent
to Mayor Couzens. Evidently there still some
people left upon the American continent who have
not learned the lesson that and coronets are
now strictly passe, and that warm handclasp with
champion of liberty is much to be preferred to
kow-towing before high-soundng titles.

GLASS MUST BE DIM.

All over the United States that class of indi-
vlduals who have been humorously termed "Admin-
istraton Patriots have rallied with touching unani
nifty to the support of the administration program
for League of Nations. Carter Glass, secretary of
the treasury, has naturally enough thrown his sup
time-servng politicians, and when the Glass news
papers, "The News" and the "Daily Advance pub
ished in Lynchburg, Va, have done noble work
But when the millions of Americans of Irish blood
who are opposing unrestricted ratification of the
League of Nations called Irish agitators" or
"time-servng politicians" and when Glass news
papers, in their love for England inferentally regret
that some United States Senators speak of the days
OF the Revolution and of our great struggle for indie
pendence, and laud to the skies the British Ambas-
sador, Earl Grey, it would seem that they go step
too far. The News" paints beautiful picture Of
how Ireland can have her case tried out at the bar
Of the League; and in the same breath announces

but only pointing to its possibilities" It is, indeed

The Work Of Imperialists

Two BritisheEs Drew Up Covenant
Says Senator shields-"Is Not
Sacred, but the Work Of Gen. SHUTS
and Lord Cecil" He Tells Senate.
Washington, Oct. 28.-One of the
strongest speeches made in the Senate
during the debate on the Johnson
Amendment to raise the voting power
of the United States to an equality
with that of Great Britain was made
today by Senator John K. Shields,
Democrat, of Tennessee.
Senator Shields took extreme
ground in denouncing the arrange
ment, whereby each colony of the
British Empire is awarded the same
voting power as the United States.
He declared the American people
would never agree to a proposition so
humiliatinS and SO degrading.
Would Reject Treaty.
Denouncing the League OF Nations
covenant as British document, Sen
ator Shields asserted that unless the
treaty were -Americanized, it should
be rejected bodily. He said:
"The League of Nations covenant
is not sacred nor hedged around with
divinity. It was not thunderd down
from Sinai, amid commissions of ma
ture, like the laws of Moses. It is not
profane for the United States Senate,
If necessary, to amend it in the inter.
est of the American government and
the American people.
1T Is q British document. The or.
iginal and foundation was by General
SHUTS. a British subject, and the
superstructure was largely the work
of Lord Robert Cecil, an hereditary
aristocrat and adviser Of the King OF
Great Britain"
Senator Shields declared there was
no more reason why the Colonies Of
the British Empire should each have
one vote than that the separate states
OF tho United States should have votes

"BLUNDERING ENGLAND."

!. The St. Louis Republic, one of the influential
papers of the United States, prints the following:
"Blundering England -blundering particularly as
far as Ireland is apparently has started
on another of its futile campaigns to subjugate the
island Raids, wholesale arrests, machine guns and
brutality again the order of the day. There is
only one way that England can placate ireland and
still maintain CONTROL and that is by killing and inn
prisoning about Is per cent Of the whole population
Is she prepared to do away with couple of million
people whose only crime is desire for indepen-
dence? The British inability to see joke is pro-
verbal; their inability to see serious fact is also
likely to become generally accepted Ireland does
not want to be ruled by England. She has been
showing it in uncertain way for centuries For
hundreds of years her cry for independence has
been ringing through the British Isles Bullets.
jas, gaows, racks and wheels have failed to stiAe
the cry. 1t has grown in volume decade by decade.
England cannot stop it, and she ought to know by
this time that she cannot stop it except by giving
Ireland what she Graves for and what she has right

cepted by England at Versailles-her freedom"

SENATOR CORES TRIBUTE TO THE IRISH

Senator Thomas P Gore, of Oklahoma, in re-
cent brief speech before the Senate paid beautiful
tribute to Ireland quoting as offset to the bitter
abuse of Senator John Sharp Williams, the words
Of the who Mississippi always lovingly pro-
claimed its greatest orator. Senator Gore said Gas
native of Mississippi love to quote what Misss-
sippis greatest orator and what of Americas
greatest orators had to say concerning the Sons of
Erin
cit has given the world than its share of
genius and greatness 1t has been prolific in states
men, warriors and poets. It's brave and generous
sons have fought successfully all battles but their
own In wit and humor it has no equal; while its
harp, like its history, moves to tears by its sweet
but melancholy pathos.'
"These Words as true as eloquent, fell from the
lips of Sergeant Smith Prentss on historic occa-
sion in New Orleans. In every forum where the
champions of liberty have been permitted to plead
her cause has been heard the voice of Irish elo-
quence On every battlefield where men have died
for liberty will be found the graves of Irish heroes.
Every cabinet to which worth win its way has
been adorned by Irish genius and craftsmanship.
Irish valor has helped to win American ndepen-
dence, and Irish chivalry helped to maintain the
American Union.
eff it be true that swallow does not make
summer, it is equally true that one snowb1rd does
not make winter No one vandal however willing,
can destroy the monuments of Irish genius. No one
iconoclast, however, powerful, can demol1sh the
statues which commemorate the virtue and valor OF
Ireland's sons No one Mussulman, however anx-
ious can burn the libraries or blot out the brilliant
and consecrated pages on which inscribed the
sufferings and the sacrifices OF Emmet and his coun
trymen.
"The Democratic party owes the Irish vote debt
whichit can hardly pay. 1t is in debt to the 1irsh
Democrats for every Democratic victory since the
Civil War. The following language will be found
in the National Democratic Platform of 1892: We
tender our profound and earnest sympathy to those
lovers of freedom who are struggling for home rule
and the great of local selfgovernment in Ire
land.' Similar assurances contained in other
platforms Shall Democracy keep the word Of

and their people are just as brave and
patriotic and contributed just as much
to winning the world war.

votes in the league for our sovereign
states as Britain is entitled to have
five votes for its colonies. If one is
allowed, common Justice and national
equality require that the other be al
lowed.
"The empire state Of New York,
with its immense wealth and 11,0OO,-
900 people, is certainly entitled to the
same consideration as Australia, with
its. 100000. Tennessee, the great
volunteer state, with 100000 brave,
free and enlightened people, the
equals of any in the world, has more
right to be recognized among the ma
tions than far-off New Zealand with
a population of 100000"
He read from their constitution to
show they are under the domination
of England. For this reason, the SEN
ator declared, it was absurd to argue,
as some senators have done, that in
the event of a controversy between
England and the United States, these
colonies. or some of them, would sup
port the United States. The senator
said:
Il attach little weight to the argu-
ment advanced that these overseas
dominions, especially Canada, would
probably favor the United States in
a controversy with the Empire.
They are not only bound to the
parent country by strongest political
ties and look to It for political favor
and commercial advantages. but they
rely on its great navy for protection.

PRESIDENT DE VALERA'S TOUR WILL
LIVE IN HISTORY

The eyes of the world are focused today upon the
President OF the Irish Republic as he swings west
on one OF the greatest speaking trips ever under
taken in this or any other country. Everywhere he
goes, President De Valera is greeted by record
breaking crowds, eager to hear the words and shake
the hand of one who represents new era in world
affairs. This week De Valera sweeps triumphantly
of Colorado, pleading the cause of Ireland to re-
sponsive audiences. Next week he plunges into the
Far West, and by Sunday will look out upon the
Pacific. 1t is indeed marvel how he stands the
terrific grind From October l, when his tour began
from New York, until the present, he has been trav
cling steadily speaking almost every day, and some
times two and three times day. And the end is
not yet in sight, for his program carries him down
the Pacific coast and then back again eastward
through Arizona New Mexico and the great South.
There is to be no rest, letup in this remarkable
tour until Christmas comes and brings brief re-
spite. What other in America ever embarked
on such tremendous undertaking?

 It was q beautiful day and sixty four came to the ". c. T. U. hall on Valley street to enjoy the sociability which is never lacking.
 We were glad to meet so many who had not been with us during the win ter.
 The decorations Of the hall are wor- thy of mention, as the hostes5es had taken special pains to make if attrac- tive with Social Corner colors.
 After singing the Doxology, all were ready for the good things to eat with which the table was loaded; and fast, but best of all, each had a generous plate of delicious ice cream which wa : donated by The Bulletin Co. l am sure each one felt like sending a per ersonal Thank You to the management.
 Later the entertainment was greatly enjoyed. In the guessing contest, Tiny carried off the prize.
 Mrs, Clark, visiting nurse of Willi- mantle, gave us an interesting talk on The Needs of the Poor of the City, par ticuiarly the children. A letter from Diana was read, and we are all glad to hear from her and hope she will continue to improve in health.
 The afternoon passed quickly. and soon the time came to return home taking with us pleasant thoughts of the day.

MEMORIES.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: While am busy doing lots of other corre- spondence, thought l would have a chat with The Corner Sisters, the day being far too gloomy for me to take my first walk after recovering from Q week in bed with the grip.
 Sorry to hear Aunt Mary has been on the sick list also. Sincerely hope you are feeling stronger again, so we company at the next meeting. If any of the other Sisters have been i'll, do hope you will all soon get better.
 When read of Aunt Mary's experi- ence with the fire, it brought tears to my eyes.
 Isn't it great blessing we can take all our fears and trials to God in prayer?
 Prayer is sweet: to shut ourselves away from everything and just have a quiet talk with Cod. one feels so much better and so relieved, when we have told Him our troubles.
 Yet we must be sincere and faithful in prayer. Oh. how I wish I could ex- plain all the different ways my pray CTS have been answered. It would take up too much room; I have al ready taken my share. ~Iet me say while we are praying for ourselves there are others who need our pray CTS.
 I will quote a poem called Mem ories:
 When in prayer thou art kneeling,
 Think not of myself alone, Is there not some true heart needing Blessings like thine own? There is One who ever heareth
 Loves soft prayer as it ascends, And His Glorious Self revealeth Alike to thee and absent friends. Best wishes to all the Sisters VIC
