Heart Beats

BY A. K.
Woman'c love
Without diversion
Without other interests
Is overwhelming
1t is all-consuming
And becomes a menace
Rather than a virtue.
From the press
We learn
Every few days
That women have
Become agonized with grief
And resorted to
Poison
Or gas
Or acid
Or a revolver
To end their
Miserable existence.
Why?
Because they feel
The loss of a
Husbands love
A love which famed
A brilliant red
Then burnt like white-hot
Goals when the Pickering
Flames of romance
Finally one by one
Went out.
And there was nothing
To replace it
There were no substitutes
There was no backing
Nothing to lean on
For support through
The crisis.
A life deprived of
Love is never
Quite the same
But interesting work
Interest in people
Interest in philanthropic
Endeavors
Are balm to heal
The wound in the heart
Torn open and left
Bleeding by one of those
Jagged little darts
Which cupid so recklessly
Shoots here and there
Without apparent
Rhyme or reason.
The world is so full
OF so many things
That every woman's
Life should embrace
Those nearest her heart,
Love is beautiful
But so elusive
That when one tries
To pin it down
Presto!
It's gone.

~ The fight that we so bravely led
We've taken up. And we will keep.
True faith with you who lie asleep

Ten million hands will hold it high,
And Freedoms light shall never die!

Loved and were loved, and now we lie

If We break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though peoples

THE MEXICAN SITUATION

FORMER MeNCan OOIlSul General Chamberlain
says that the Mexican Government is suffering from
the OF graft He adds that the graft is Oh Z;
scale beyond the conception OF the Anslo-SaNon
mind" He charges that the Carranza governmen:
is unfriendy to the United States that Mexico is
country OF disorder and banditry and that the de
iacto President entertals false theories of politics
and government.
There is doubt in the mind OF the average
American that the present government is inefh-
eent to the last regree We are not surprised that
there is graft because those in charge are robbers
United States and Mexico comes in a report from
tile border American citizens who desire to trave!
III two of the leading states Of Mexico must sign
afhdavits relieving the Mexican government from
all responsibility before passports are issued This
means that the Mexican government recognizes
that it cannot give reasonable protection 1t
that there is not the sembance of ordinary gov
ernment in those two states 1t is an admission that
the country is overrun with murderers and bandits
and that the government has no control. The onlS
other alternative is that the government itself is
nothing but band of robbers. Carranza has prom
ised to protect American lives and property. The
present situation indicates that he confesses his in
ability to keep that promise. 1t would appear that
the present government of Mexico is helpless and
Hopeless.
Above the gates of the internal regions the great
poet wrote 'All hope abandon ye who enter
here The same motto may be written the Mex
lcan border. 1t is only question of how long the
civilized world will stand for the present Mexican
government.

LODGE WAS NOT CENSURED BY HIS
STATE

1t is amusing to hear some of the live or die
sink or swim, survive perish supporters OF an
unamended and unreserved League of Nations en-
deavorng to convince themselves that the Republi-
can State Convention OF Massachusetts "rebuked"
Senator Lodge by adopting plank calling for rati-
ication of the Treaty without amendment. They
overlook the fact that unequivocal and effective
reservations" demanded in the very same plat
orm and that the action OF the American delegates
to the Peace Conference the questions of Shan
tung and other land-grabbing deals is condemned
Nichols, writing in the Boston Transcript says.
Every political reporter. and indeed any ordinary
observer who attended the Republican, State Con-
vention, knows that Lodge had the Convention by
at least four to one. Every such person knows that
if there had been two reports made by the platform
committee, the one favorng Lodges position would
have been overwhelmingly adopted. Former Sena-
tor Weeks. who sat on the platform beside Crane,
would have taken the floor in advocacy of Lodges
position.'

New York, Oct. 26.-For centuries
now, British financiers have controlled
the banks, the railroads, the mines,
the mills, the commerce, the shipping
and the trade of Ireland. They would
loan no money and give no help or
encouragement to any Irish enterprise
they did not approve. They would ap-
prove no enterprise calculated to
make Ireland more prosperous, for the
less prosperous she was the more she
had to depend on Great Britain. They
approved none calculated to support
the population Of Ireland, for the less
populous she was the ieasier was she
held in subjection by Great Britain.
They would approve none calculated
to bring Ireland into contact with
The Irish standard., 1919-11-01

other nations, for the more isolated
she was the harder it was for other
nations to learn the wrongs she suf-
fered and the more completely was
she at the mercy of Great Britain.
How EngIand's Veto Works.
The veto of the British financiers
extended to the whole economic life
Of the Irish people, and held back as
with an iron hand all their trade and
industry. For example: it cost more
to distribute Irish products within
ireland, than to import the same class
Of products from England. It cost
more to ship Irish products from Ire
land to France, than to ship the same
class of products from the Continent
to America. The foreign trade Of Ire
land, although it is greater than that
Of Norway or Sweden, is strictly a
British monopoly, exploited with the
twofold object of furnishing profit to
British tradesmen and keeping the
Irish subject people. Ireland is
forced to buy from British capitalists
at their own price. She is forced to
sell to them at their own price. The
difference between the cost Of Irish
produce and the price at which she
must sell, has been determined not by
supply and demand, not by bargaining
and trade, not by Irish interests or
justice or right or humanity, but by
tho arbitrary and selfish dictum of the
British financiers. And it is on that
difference that the Irish have had to
live, starve or emigrate.
Here is the whole grim tragedy,
briefly told: In 1S40 the population of
Ireland was over eight millions; in
1910 it was less than four and half.
Direct Trade Relations.
The first and most imperative con-
cern of the Republic Of Ireland, there
fore, is to establish direct business
and trade relations with other nations,
so that Irish initiative and enterprise
and not British aims and interests
will determine her Industrial life and
activity.

settle their family quarrels with Amer
ican blood. The parting advice of
George Washington to beware of en-
tangling European alliances is just as
timely today as the day it was uttered.
"If such league as this had been
in force in 1776, when the 13 American
colonies sought their independence,
they would never have succeeded in
gaining their liberty, no matter how
just was their cause. If that same
league had been in effect then we
might today be colony of the British
Empire.
"This proposed League of Nations
should be rejected absolutely and as a
whole, or, if accepted, it should be
amended in at least as many points as
President Wilson proposed before he
went to the peace conference in Paris.
But l hope that, if amended, the IA
amendments would be reality and not
dream, like the IA points.
II cast an electoral vote for Presi-
dent Wilson in 1916 and have always
been a staunch Democrat. But this
cause is greater than any one man and
any party. When the safety and Sc
curity of America is in the balance,
then party politics must be relegated
to the background.
1--WE must and shall not give away
that for which our forefathers fought
and bled and died-the settling of our
own affairs by ourselves and not by
any European or Asiatic power. Let
America solve her own problems and
let Europe and Asia settle their own
family quarrels. There will always be
wars in Europe, and our country
should not be bound by any covenant
to take part therein and to send her
sons to die on foreign soil that any
empire be enriched or that any foreign
nation may realize her dream of terri
torial aggrandizement."

ANEW BOOK ON IoHN REDMOND.

The Life OF John Redmond" has been written BY
Ware B. Wells, editor of Sir Horace Plunkett's
newspaper The English OF the book is excellent;
the view OF Irish politics and Irish natonalism what
might be expected from Mr.. Wells. The picture of
MIR. Redmond as statesman is that OF statesman
whose final years were more English than Irish in
point OF residence and mentality. What might be
expected from Mr.. Wells upon Ireland in these days
is strikingly indicated in this paragraph from car
n-Eire'' (lreland), Dublin weekly: 'Mr. Ware B.
Wells, the editor of the Irish Statesman is an
Englishman who for some time past has been on the
staff OF the Irish Times We may Judge of the
the staff Of that journal when it was carrying
on its murderous conscription campaign against the
Irish people. Evidently he has found better ole
without the poison gas of the Times and now he
has adopted superior attitude of settling the Irish
question by reason and not passion, in the plane of
practical politics. and not rhetoric We enjoyed a
continuous thrill of Indignation at the complacent
|efrontery of this Engshman posing as patriotic
lrishnan ruled by reason and not by passion; we
drew long breath when thought of republicans
like James Connolly, Pearse Thomas Ashe. The
phrase 'Passo Christi flashed across our thoughts
the supreme anguish of the martyr This is the real
meaning of the passion whereby the Irish question
will be settled, and to think of these ntriguers of
Empire, and of such Empire, oozng with the cant
of reason and superior culture-O God The truth:
We can tell Mr.. Wells and Sir Horace Plunkett
point blank that there at least 100000 arguments
against Dominion Home Rule, and they are as deter
mined to resist it they to resist Conscription
