Where The People
 May Have a Hearing
The Irish Question


 That the Irish resident, and the lady soliciting signatures to cards for an Expression" q suppose of the sign CTS willingness to support or have this country aid Ireland, in it's struggle for absolute liberty from England.) I wish to be fully understood, as the lady thought me ignorant of conditions when I refused my signature. I am positively opposed to this nation in- terfering in the disagreements of oth- CT governments, and unless it be to protect our citizens, which should be more. forcibly done than record shows to have been done heretofore, say, hands off. This shore has well comed, and is a haven, for all foreign CTS, and is filling with some classes, beyond reason or toleration.
 The Irish who flock to these shores are far preferable to the filth and skum of many a foreign clan, and when the lady said, We're of the brightest and smartest of our resi- dents," she was partly correct for in wit and oratory, and brawn they class high and contend when intermarried certainly show offspring to be proud of but this has no bearing on her home troubles," which as any un- prejudiced reader knows, is wholly caused, as all the great troubles in ages have been caused-by religion. l compare the condition of the English possessions of Australia and Canada with that of Ireland and I find in the two former peace, contentment, and prosperity; absolute satisfaction to conditions of English rule:|I read where Lloyd George says-"get to- gether formulate your agreed plans, be consistent, and we shall give you anything in reason asked"
 As I said to this lady, and both factors know it's ruth-such is utterly impossible at the present day. Time may bring reconciliation, as it is often doing, and will do through the medium of education, in the suppression oi fanacucism, and superstition; they are dying, thank God, a slow, natura. death. Neither of the Irish religious factions, Protestant or Catholic, have my support, which applies at home, al abroad, so the lady can withdraw hel statement of my prejudice toward any one sect.
 If the masses, mobs and ignorant O. the United States ever are inflamed aroused or melted, to bloodshed through sympathy, base lying litera ture, or hot headed leaders, their in tolerance exceeds all comparison u England's methods, would you SOY more seeds by working on sympathy not only refuse to sign all sucl propaganda, but I say to those wh sign anything that solicitors present without carefully looking into it merits, you are not benefiting you people, country or home, and trouble are caused by your thoughtlessness

 Gentlemen: For some reason or other l have within the last couple of days been asked if the rumor was correct that I contemplated running for the legislature next electionl
 In reply I wish to say God forbidi" Such thought has never entered my mind and believe me, have too much business to let the political germ incubate in my system.
 I am inclined to believe that this rumor was started aimed at the local branch of the American legion by some of the peaceful citizens of Phoenix who were such strong supporters of peace during the recent war that they stayed at home and kept the family rocking chair warm and did their bit by reading the war news daily and making prophecies as to the probable outcome of the struggle that was go- ing on.
 In conclusion, I wish to say that if I should ever get the political bug in my bonnet, I will not start a whispering campaign but will come out with flaring headlines and other

One Way to Help

Editor of Republican:
 Thinking to help others to solve the high cost of food, I am writing to tell how have managed. I bought just one dozen hens which I feed properly and from which I get enough eggs for our own use. Then planted vegetables of every kind, and last but not least bought one dozen rabbits. I purchased the thoroughbred New Zealand Reds and have surely solved the meat prob lem. Fried rabbits are far superior in my estimation to fried chicken and they can be prepared in so many dif- ferent ways. The rabbits I feed en> tirely on my surplus garden vegetables and on weeds and grass, and the money have received for some of the rabbits which I sold and for which I always find a ready market, have helped buy the food for the chickens. l would say by all means raise rabbits. Hoping this will help someone else.
 Yours truly,

SWEDEN FEARS THE LEAGUE

Bassett Digby, writing in the Chi cago News from Stockholm, says: Considerable coolness toward the League of Nations has been shown re- gently in Sweden. This is attributable partly to the fact that Sweden, like other countries which approve the league in principle, is experiencing a transitory chagrin at finding that the league has not turned out to be exactly as Sweden had hoped it would. The principal cause for the coolness is the belief that for some time to come the world is going to remain in two sharp ly opposed groups and that hence join ing the league connotes that Sweden will be smoked out on some of it's conceptions of strict neutrality.
 Even Germanophile circles realize that new business and cultural orien- tation must be adopted and they view the prospect with wry faces. But there are a large number of men who are neither for nor against the Ger mans, being -eminently Swedes, and who yet object to the proposal that they join the league after two months without the opportunity to ask ques- tions, the alternative being that they will have to stay outside and suffer the odium coming from that course.
 The state of feeling may be guessed by the headings of editorials in the newspapers, such as Our Neutrality 1 Lost Standardization of Neutrality. and the like. The matter has not yet become a serious issue, as political cir cles in Stockholm assume that the in

SUMMER FIESTA AT
 SANTA BARBARA |S
 TO BE OPENED JULY 1

SANTA BARBARA, June 2S.-Cali- fornia's 150th anniversary will be ob served on the opening day of the Santa Barbara Summer Fiesta, July IL. It is altogether probable that this will be the only place in the state where the historic date gets any public at tentiGn at all
 It was on July 1, 1769 that Caspar de Portola and Padre Junipero Serra came decided to stop al the ancient Indian village, Cosoy, which they renamed San Diego. This marked the formal beginning of Alta California The peo- pie have been so busy with a variety of things that the important date has been almost entirely overlooked. Paul Gyllstrom, a San Diego newspaper man, brought the fact to light.
 Santa Barbaras fiesta will last five days, from the first to the fifth of July. Each day will be different. The army and navy will both be represented. A platoon of cavalry is coming from Ari- zona, while Rear Admiral W. F. Full lam will be here with the Pacific fleet The governments air service will also be represented. The harbor will be  alive withs boats, coming to take part in the Venetian water carnival.
 Much will be made of Spanish fea- lures. An oldtime fiesta will be re. produced on the Esplanade del Mar which is expected to attract survivors of the old Spanish families from far and near. Several thousand persons are expected to be here in native cos tune. An elaborate historical parade will tell the story of the four cen turies that have passed in Santa Bar bara since the coming of Viscaino in 1902
 Independence day will be dedicated to the men who served their country In addition to a mammoth parade there will be patriotic exercises and com munity "sing." The fiesta season will conclude with an elaborate meet on Saturday in which all amateurs are eligible to compete.

SAYS BUICK |S TIE RELIABLE MOTOR FOR
 ARIZONA CONDITIONS

Dr. Thomas Manning, superintendent Coconino county board of health and prominent physician of Northern Arizona, has just purchased a new Buick Coupe. It is one of the enclosed type so suitable for the Arizona cli- mate, being entirely convertabe in a few moments.
 Dr. Manning says: After experi- menting with several makes of cars am actually forced back to the old re- liable Buick; I know what satisfac- ton 1 will get from this car.
 A physician needs something abso : lutely dependable, hence, the Buick and I regret that I did not do this some time ago"
 Buicks are as scarce and hard to get as they ever were. Dr. Manning's car being driven from Los Angeles, so anxious was he to have a Buick. The Rabbit Bros. Trading company is es- pecially glad to make delivery of the car at this time as the trade down east are taking them without paint, bodies and lenders and building special equip ment there, in order to get the cars.

CHANGES IN LIVING CONDITIONS AFFECT
 MOTOR LAR SALES

There are several factors that are helping to make the present demand for motor cars the greatest and most insistent in our experience" says Harry M. Jewett, president of the Paige Detroit Motor Car company. Naturally, after several summers of repression and restrictions of various kinds there was a general stampede to motoring as soon as all bans were lifted and all war worries and activi- ties were eliminated.
 Tt was like the added force given to water power when it has been dam med. The sudden removal of the dam
 reates a flood. The summer of 1919 will therefore be great one for mo- tOring in all it's aspects and touring week k-end trips and vacations taken with the aid of the automobile will have their greatest vogue. The aver age man loves the out of doors. He can scarcely wait now until he can get into the open with his car.
 Another big factor is the growing fondness of American men for country life and the enjoyment of the farm. To indulge in this necessitates the use of an automobile. But one of the most interesting influences at work is the difficulty of living in large city with housing and transportation conditions as they are. Many people are forced 10 outlying districts because they can not get suitable quarters elsewhere and they are obliged to turn to the motor car for a solution of their problems-a situation that lays the emphasis once more on the utility of the automobile
 Tn view of all these conditions and the fact that money is plentiful we eX- pect the demand not only to continue, but to increase to a point where all big concerns must greatly increase their manufacturing schedules. The Paige has long anticipated this and is rapidly bringing to completion it's enlarged plant the facilities of which will en- able it to double production"

TAKING ONES EASE

(Harper's Magazine)

America invented the hotel and is still inordinately proud of it. Europe through the centuries produced. it IS true, refreshment for man and beast, and comfortable phrases about taking ones ease in ones inn. But it re- mained for our country to contrive an establishment where, if we may ven ture upon an illogical but perhaps un- derstandable expression, one took not only ones own ease but everyone else's; where privacy having been, as far as possible, eliminated, the hotel guest lived in pleasant, sociable, dem ocratic water of all the classes of the community.

LIVES IN GREAT FEAR
Of SALVATION ARMY

Peter Sampson, well-dressed
man of perhaps 60 years of age and
who is thought to be mentally unbal-
anced, was taken to the county Jail
in this city today by Sheriff George
Lewis.
Mr.. Sampson says he has a home
stead in Jackson county, although he
has not been on the claim for several
years. He is a French-Canadian but
says he has resided in Oregon for
many years and is naturaliZed cit
izen. He is under the delusion that
the Salvation Army is harassing him
and giving him undue publicity and
is seeking asylum from their perse-
cution. He demands $4,000 dam
ages from the government and as
serts that II the money is not forth
coming Immediately he will force the
payment
When taken to the sheriff's office
today, a .3S calihre revolver and a
large clasp knife were found in his
pockets. The revolver was loaded
and the knife was sharp. He claims
to have recently returned from
Washington. D. c., where he went
to interview the president in regard
to the payment of the $4,000. and
also went to Salem to see Governor
Withycombe. but at that place was
denied admission because OF the gov
ernor's illness.

HAWAII COMING HERE
FOR SCHOOL TEACHERS

Honolulu, T. H.. Mar. 5.-Henry
w. Kinney. superintendent OF public
instruction OF the Territory of Ha-
wall, has planned to make a tour OF
the normal schools OF California.
Oregon and Washington next April
in an effort to obtain teachers for
the 1919-1920 school year.
Hawaii has suffered from a short
age Of school teachers during the
past year and Mr.. Kinney hopes to
engage at least 100 normal gradu-
ates during his tour OF the coast
states. While in San. Francisco he
will arrange with steamship COM
panies for transportation for the
teachers.
Discussing his plans, Mr.. Kinney
said: 81 will make the trip to get
teachers direct from the normal
schools, as we find that this is much
more satisfactory than dealing with
agencies Then, think It would be
an excellent idea for some one from
Hawaii to get in personal touch with
all the normal schools OF California,
Oregon and Washington. At present
we are in communication with only
a few OF those in California"
AT present grammar school teach
ers in Hawaii are paid minimum OF
s692 a year, with regular annual
increases for five years, when a max
imum OF over $1,000 is reached.
Teachers organizations expect that
the territorial legislature, which
meets this month, will grant them
an increase Of one-third OF their
present salaries. Support for the
teachers measure has been pledged
by number Of prominent members
OF the legislature.

DR.. REDDY IN FIGHT
AT SAN FRANCISCO

DR.. ]. F. Reddy, former chief of
police Of Spokane, and after mayor
OF Medford, Oregon, was arrested
yesterday on a charge OF battery af-
ter he had knocked down and sat
upon E. H. Weidekind, a mining ex-
pert, in the lobby of the Palace hotel,
says the San Francisco Examiner.
The two men were separated by
employees Of the hotel, and were both
taken to police headquarters by De-
tective Mclaughlin.

cuffs on the way to the prison and
Mclaughlin said he had the greatest
difficulty in restraining them.

could contain myself no longer, and
knocked him down.
Then sat on him for a while.
At the same time that I delivered
the blow I called weidekind a pro-
German. He has previously tried to
poster me with what I consider in
sidious pro-German propaganda. Re-
Gently one OF the workmen on the
mine hit him with shovel on ac-
count OF his attitude.
DR.. Reddy is one OF the largest
chrome producers in the west. He
makes regular trips to San Francis
co on mining matters.
