THE APPEAL TO UNREASON

The statement is made in press dispatches that the
policy 70 be followed by the sein Fem leaders in the t"-
ture is to be one OF persistent and consistent lawlessness'
According TO the report the plan is for the members OF
this Association TO eEro-ce their demands and attain inc
realization OF their desires by such methods as for a time
characterized the activity Of The SO called militant SUI
Tragedies. The s,fira5ettes who adopted this policy, ana
who by the way were neither numerous nor representa-
tive of the great body of women who demanded the pal
lot, was to annoy and harass public men upon every
imaginable occasion, and to commit dep:cdations, usually
petty in their nature, but always irritating and exasperat-
ing. The purpose was to create such a condition of dis
comfort that in order to remove the annoyance the pub
lie would be ready to grant whatever demands might be
made regardless of reason and sound policy.
The sein Feiners seemingly have concluded to adopt
similar line of policy in order to free Ireland Inc
plan has not been confined in the past to the suffragettes.
The activities of Mrs. Nation in her crusade against al
cohol are still recalled. This woman and her followers
conceived the idea that they could Danish intoxicants by
smashing windows and other acts of like nature, and
there are not a few people today who believe that the
methods of these misguided people actually brought about
the wave of prohibition which has swept over the country
since that time. The fact is that prohibition has come
because of a number of other causes not at all related
to the smashing of windows, but involving the lawless-
ness which has seemed to be inseparable from the traf-
tic in spirits, and the clever conception that alcoholic
stimulants are usually dangerous and very frequently
mischievous.
g However, we will always have people who undertake
to accomplish their desires by making nuisances of them
selves, and it is worth while to remember that the meth
DDS employed by a few of the ultra prohibitionists by the
militant suffragettes and which it appears are to be
adopted by the Sein Feiners are exactly the methods
which are employed in a different field by people of diff
ferent classes for the accomplishment of different ends.
When people of some education, some culture and some
claim, in their ordinary behavior, to be considered good
citizens adopt methods Of violence in order to secure
what they want it is perhaps not to be thought strange
that members of I. w. W., professional anarchists, Rus
sian Bolsheviks, etc, consider that they have good war
rant for the adoption of similar methods to enforce their
demands. The world is seeing now something of the re-
suit of this principle applied on a large scale. If civil
ization is to endure that method must be discontinued,
al d while orderly people are trying to discourage 1. w.
w. manifestations it may be we'll for them to see that
their own house is in order and that they themselves are
lot committing similar offenses for the attainment Of
their own desires.

SELF DETERMINATION BY RACE

s This. matter of Self-SOvernnent is fll of COmplca-
tons. In theory and in general we accept the PROPOSE
ton that all peoples are entitled to select their own form
Of government. When we come to apply the principle
we soon find ourselves in difficulties. We have read a
great deal of late of the right of self-deternination pos
sessed by the people of Europe, and as a rule it has been
assumed that the proper course was to arrange for the
grouping of peoples by races so that those of the same
race and the same language would be associated together
in matters of government. In attempting a practical
application of this principle it has been found, for in
stance, that East Prussia, a part Of the former German
saHnapire, may in the fixing of boundaries remain a Ger
man province, but would be entirely separated from the
German empire with a strip of Poland lying in between.
,n he other. side of Germany lie two former Danish
I rsviEces of schlesweig and Iiolstein. These provinces,
at one time Danish. have been substantially German
with the exception of the northern portion of Schlesweig.
That district, it seems likely. will be restored to Denmark
while the remaining territory will continue to be a part
of Germany. But in the district which Germany is to
retain there are sections in which the population is over
whelningly Danish and these people would prefer to be
y reunitedHwith. Denmark. Obviously it is impossible to
frame a plan whereby little sections here and there will
become Danish and other little sections Immediately ad-
Joining will remain German. A somewhat similar state
Of affairs; exists throughout what was once the Austrian
empire. There the population - mixed. consisting of
Germans, slavs, Masyars, etc, and it IL Impossible to
group these. peoples in such Q way that the territory as
signed to each will be even approximately compact and
contiguous. The results are bound to be spotted no mat
ter how great the effort to the contrary.
Inasmuch as the accurate grouping OF people for
governmental purposes by race is impossible it becomes
all the more important that all governments shall be con.
stituted and conducted in such a manner that all peoples
rsnb5ecf To- their Jurisdiction shall receive justice and
shall enjoysthe same rights and privileges, no matter to
what race they belong; and what applies to race in these
matters applies also to matters Of religion. There can.

VIEWS DIFFER ON
- LIQUOR SUBJECT
Some Congressman Would Relax
and Others Would Make
Law More Severe

Washington, June 29.-While
President Wilson's announcement on
last night that he would not lift the
ban on war time prohibition until
the army was demobilized provoked
a storm of varying comment in con-
gressional circles, there were no in
dications tonight of any concerted
move to obtain Immediate consider
alton by the House of enforcement
legislation.
Indeed the general view was that
there was law enough for the pres
ent, and that the House would ad-
here to the plan outlined by leaders
to let the whole prohibition question
go over until after the holiday re-
cess which may begin tomorrow
night or Tuesday.
Members opposed to the drastic
provisions of the measure reported
out by the judiciary committee, gave
notice today that they would en-
deavor to have these stricken out on
the floor. From the other side came
intimations that in some respects the
bill was not strict enough, and it was
said an amendment would be offer
ed to eliminate the section which
would permit a citizen to store Ii
quor in his own home, and the othe1
clause which would make it's "use'
lawful.
The President made it clear in hi
statement issued last night throug
the White House that with the fail
ure of Congress to act on his sug
gestion for repeal of the war tim
law, so far as it relates to wine an
beer, the effect of his proclamatio
to be issued upon completion or de

Raleigh, June 30-A gold brick
proposition, transparently impossible
very foolish and desperately wlcheo
is Governor Bickett's denunclatloh
of the Loyal Order of Klansmen an
organization being promoted by eI
tensive advertising which accordlhs
to information reaching the Cove
nor has caused considerable alarm |
amongst the thoughtful people oL
both races.
Convinced of all this, Governor
4eickett sees in the whole scheme an
annea1 to race prejudice. In state
-Yoent to the people of North caro-
lima, he is urging them to 1ro"n
down upon any attempt to capltallz9
that prejudice
With display advertisements Ihe

members. and contained in those au-
vertisements and in the literature o.
the order are the skull ana eros"
homes, stamped about the words

the character of the order puts Il
down as :"social, fraternal, military
natriotic and protectlve-A South-
ern Order for Southern Gentlemen
Rut Governor Beckett insists that il
is irving to underwrite the govern
ment of the State and of the Unlteo
States.
According to the propaganda o.
the Loyal Order of Klansmen, 1t was
organized in 124S by the Scotch peo-
ple: combined in 1892 with the lr-
ish; organized first in America IN
1906; prominent in 1912 when the
Mexicans were driven across the bor-
der. and in 1868 it saved the outh
land.
A local range of the Loyal Order
of Klansmen is proposed for Raleigh
and it is announced that Director
General Texas A. B. Ritchie, who
pulled automobiles around by his
neck and splintered stout boards ov
er his head in a demonstration OF
physical roughness at an automoblt
show in Raleigh a year or more ago
will be in Raleigh Thursday and Fri
day, July and 4, for consultation
over the matter.
Running through the whol
scheme" says Governor Beckett il
his statement, cit is a wicked appea
to race prejudice. There is harl
back to the lawless time that fol
lowed the Civil War and there is pa
raded before the mind Of the reade
the terrors of those dark days. Tn
