DEFENDS DE VALERA.

is not in you, hut evidently you have
cmbibed too freely of British propa-
ganda to do justice to De Valera and
the people he represents.
Eamonn DE Valera. president OF the
Irish republic, is here as the direct
representative of the people of Ireland
to the people of America. In accord
ance with the basic priciple on which
America entered the war. namely.
self determination" of people, as out
lined and emphasized by President Will
son, the Irish nation deliberately deter
mined itself as Il republic. De Valera
was elected president by adult suf-

PROTECTION WILL BE NEEDED.

The country has apparently lost in
terest in the subject Of tariffs, but it
will have TO become interested again
if it is going to maintain prosperity
after this crazy reign Of high prices
is over. We are importing altogether
too many goods for the welfare of the
nation and that fact will be brought
home to us by sad experience when
conditions get back to anywhere near
normal. We cannot expect to enter
foreign markets, or even hold our own,
with present high cost of production
unless the tariff laws are revised with
view of giving protection to American
products. This will be one of the great
issues that will confront the people be-
fore long, whether we like it or not,
and it will have to be met and settled
right.
September imports broke all records
in the history of American trade. be-
ing greater than those of the previous
high record month July, 1870 by
$92.O0O,OCO September imports total
ed in value $435. 100000, or almost one
fourth our total imports for the entire
calendar year 1913, nine months of
which was under protective tariff.
On the other hand, the average rate OF
duty ON all imports for the month OF
September last was the lowest ever
recorded at our ports, being something
under five and scven-tenthS per cent,
and realizing but $2i,724,000 in GUS
toms revenues. In the month of Sept
embcr, 1913, the last month under the
protective tariff, we imported Sill ,O0O,-
coo worth Of foreign goods. which paid
into the treasury of the United States
nearly $27,O00G0O. Had the imports
for September paid the rate of duty
prevailing under the protective regime
our treasury would have garnered
nearly $s5.O0O,OO0 from the customs
houses. instead of about 80 per cent of
that sum. DrYing the first nine months
of the current year we have imported
s.. 1891, 100000 worth of foreign prod
ucts, and at the rate they are now COM
ing in the debit side of our trade ledger
will total $4,000, O00,O0 for 1919, while
the credit side will continue to shrink.

would maintain the union. The Union
lists made three gains at the last cleo
ton owing to three-cornered contests,
against Republican and Dillon party
candidates. But rest assured that snap
majority will in time be wiped out, for
Dillon supporters are now Sim Fem.
/ 1t is not true that Ulster has more
than her prOportiOnate wealth, al
though she has more wealth than right
! ly belongs to her. The northeast cor
ner of Ulster is close to the pork bar
rel. and the children of that corner
have been generously helped from the
revenue contributed by the rest Of the
Emerald Isle LcinSter is the richest
province and pays the largest share Of
taxes. The income tax assessment in
Ulster is $49.7G1 100000; in Lienster
SGG,371, 100000. The per capita income
tax i'll Ulster is $3.50; in Leinster
$G1. &c: in Belfast $500; and in
Dublin $3.50.
In conclusion. may say De Valera
is not in this country to disturb the
harmony existing between two nations,
but is here in the interest Of the worlds
peace. We called to mothers to give
their sons blood for permanent peace.
If we fail now and find that our sacri-
flee only meant to leave the world as
it was-our dead have only given an
Their twist to the kaleidoscope-swiftly
changing the colOrs on the map. Ii
our Allies are to be able to say, see,
there our banner floats over an unwill-
ing people"-'see we have more terri
tory, regardless of the golden rule of
self determination: "See the colonies
that have changed their masters and
have new flag" If that is what our
sons have died for, they have died in
vain, and the worlds war was a sham
BILE and farce. But if we can catch
the spirit of the vision of peace and
self determination if we refuse to
admit that any nation has a right to
subject another, it shall be ours to
know that There is divinity that
shapes our ends" and ours to sing
again, Mine eyes have seen the glory
of the Lord, and God is marching on"
J. J. O'Meara.
Williams, Iowa, Nov. g.
Note: The Freeman-J Ournal is not
going to get into an extended contro-
versy over the questions involved in
the De Valera movement, but will take
occasion to reply to Father OMcara in

At the election in Linn county on

move the county seat from Marion to
Cedar Rapids the yeas won by vote
of 9.677 to 4,S4S. However, if it be
true that Cedar Rapids agreed to fur
nish free site for the court house,
Marion need not despair. If the Free
inan-Journal's memory serves it right
the courts have held that offers of that
kind are in the nature of brides to
voters, hence the election is illegal.
Marion can be depended upon to take

The Japanese government, according
to press dispatches, has decided upon
an $S25,000,O00 naval program during
the next eight years. That is better
than $100,O0O,O00 per year. Wonder if
Japan is thinking seriously of disarma-
ment? Apparently she doesn't take
much stock in the claim that the Lea
que of Nations will prevent wars. Such
a navy will not be an inducement for
Japan to return Shantung to China.
