MAKE IRELAND LIKE

Sir Horace PIunkett Says

LONDON, Oct. 29.--Sir Horace Plunkett
in an address before the National
Liberal Club to-day declared that the
path of wisdom for the Government was
to make to the Irish people an offer Of
the fullest of self-government. He ad-
vocated giving to Ireland the status OF
self-governing dominion with certain
reservations covering the problem of ma
tional defence. leaving 1t TO the Irish
people to settle their Internal difficulties
themselves
Sir Horace, who was chairman OF the
Dublin convention which endeavored to
reach solution of the Irish question.
said nothing had been done for Ireland
by the British Government except
coercion, more coercion and more coer-
cion." British democracy was nearly as
exhausted as the Irish, he said.
The speaker said the British must inn
mediately substitute civil management
for "Prussianism' in Ireland, withdraw
ing the army, which must never be re-
employed to support any political system
in any part OF Ireland.
THE relations of the different parts
of Ireland cannot be settled by the Brit.
ish Parliament" he declared, where
the Irish minority is fully represented
while the Irish majority is hardly rep
resented"

Mueller, In charge of the Brooklyn dis

Forters Office in the Customs House
to get instructions about enforcement.
There was an opinion in liquor selling

to make absolute enforcement possible.

THE truth is" wired Mr.. Bailey,
Congress seized upon the war as a
mere pretext to do what its dullest
member understood It could not do ex-
cept upon that pretext. have never
believed that the wartime prohibition
act was constitutional, and I do not be-
heve that the Supreme Court of the
United States will ever hold that II is"
mo one claims that Congress has any
express power to prohibit the manufac-
ture and sale of liquor in the several
States. and II can exercise that power
only. II at all. in executing some power
which has been expressly granted by
the Constitution. The only expressly
granted power from which Congress
could have derived the power to pass the
wartime prohibition law was the power
to declare war. which carried with II
the further power to Pass all laws nee
essary and proper to the successful
prosecution of that war.
There Is one aspect of this matter
which many leading prohibltionists have
overlooked, and warn them that 1t will
return to plague them. Some of the
men to whom l now refer are very ear
nestly defending. the right of private
property. and well they may do so In
these days when that right Is denied by
vastly a larger number of men in this
country than is commonly supposed.
Unfortunately, however, many of these
national prohibltionists seem to care
nothing about the right OF private prop
erty except for their private right to
their own property. They forget that
to-day there are hundreds of millions of
dollars invested in whiskeys. wines and
beers which II was perfectly lawful for
those who own them to sell when they

SEIZURE OF COAL ORDERED.
q. s. 10 Take Colorado Ignite for
Use of Railroads.

DENVER, Oct. 2s.-The United States
Railroad Administration has issued or
ders to all of the railroad companies In
this State to conilscate all Ignite coal
in transit and to be mined In northern
coal fields OF Colorado the rest of this
week for emergency use of the railroads.
The order does not affect companies
operating in fields in the southern and
western part of the State as bitumlnous
and anthracite coal is mined In that
region.
Every coal company operating in the
northern part OF the State received tina
order yesterday from Hale Holden.

region for the United States Railroad
Administration.
David w. Brown, president and gem
eral manager OF the Rocky Mountain
Fuel Company OF Denver. said confisca-
tion of the Ignite coal by the railroads
was not out OF the ordinary; that the
railroads took the coal every year when
they needed a supply to run trains.

Emphasis was laid by Lewis and
others on the fact that they have not re-
ceived single official word from Wash

stay at work came to them only through

There gas not a single voice raised in
defence OF the President at either of the
meetings to-day. Every speaker who re-
ferred to him either asserted that he had
been misinformed or that his statement
was mere attempt to bolster up the

VOCATIONAL TRAINING.
Dean Of SCHOOL, Of Mines lnspects the
Work Of Class.

Francis A. Thompson, dean of the
Idaho school of mines, came up from
Moscow last Friday to witness the
work of the class that is being train
ed in mining at the Morning mine by
F. H. Skeels. This is the first class
to receive vocational training in min
ing, and as it was through Professor
Thomson's efforts that the system is
being tried out, he came up after the
first week of actual underground work
to note the result and to confer with
Mr.. Skeels regarding future plans
Prof. Thomson expressed himself as
greatly pleased with the experiment SO
far and believes that the system will
prove as successful in training min
ers as 1t has been in other lines of in
d,stry. The experiment is being
watched with much interest by mine
operators and specialists in vocation
al training generally.

to the larger world questions to which

DuRING THE past week the
price of lead has taken an up
ward turn, which encourages
the hope that there will be no
further suspension of lead producing
mines in the district. After dropping
to cents, with some sales made pos
sibly below that figure, the market has
taken an upward turn and the mar
ket for spot lead is now quoted at
$50 cents. This seems to indicate
that the curtailment of lead produc-
ton which became quite general about
the first of the year has resulted in
the reduction of stocks of lead on
hand; and that the increased price re-
fleets a returning demand for the
metal. However, there can be no
great revival in the consumption of
lead until there is a more general re-
adjustment of commodity prices and
wages This readjustment has made
a small beginning in some lines of in
dustry, and must spread to all indus
