urged from anti-Sinn Fen quarters,
was that the otfcnses of which Mac
Swiney was convicted we're so COM
parativeEy light they did not Justify
his suffering, even though voluntarily.
Premier Lloyd Georges reply was that
MacSwiney undoubtedly was high

Of officials and police in Ireland.
The Republican army, unlike the Sim
Feln, is purely a secret organization.
The theological argument over the
course of Bishop Coahan and Mac
Swlney's chaplain, the Rev Father
Dominic, in, as critics say, encourage
ing him to commit suicide, was large
ly biblical. The Rev. Father Bernard
Vaughn was the only priest who pub
Ncly criticized them. A lecture which
he was to deliver in Glasgow, a cen
ter of labor unionism, had to be can
celled on account of the unpopularity
his words brought upon him.

the vacancy caused by the murder of
Mayor Thomas MacCurtain on March 20.
Although he was as outspoken as
ever in his defiance of the British
government and his loyalty to the Irish
republic, he was not molested by the
government until early August. Then
he was arrested by the British military
authorities while presiding over a
court of the Irish republic at Cork.
MacSwiney managed to escape to the
street from the back of the City Hall,
which soldiers had surrounded but
was captured outside.
Refusal to Take Food
He was imprisoned in the local mil
'tary barracks to await trial before a
court martial. He then refused to take
tood, with the result that on August
l6, when he was brought before the
court for trial, he was so weak as
scarcely to be able to stand He was
found guilty of three otfenses: Hav-
ing under his control the seditious
secret police cipher, having in his pos
session a copy of the resolution of the
Corporation of Cork pledging allegi-
ance to the Dali Eireann, or Parliament
of the Irish Republic, and having made
a seditious speech at the time of his
election as Lord Mayor.
He refused to recognize the validity
of the trial. Despite his protests he
was remanded for sentence to be pro
nounced thereafter. and immediately
was transported to England on d de-
stroyer, and was placed in the jail
at Brixton, London. The government
meantime announced in positive terms
that no clemency would be shown to
any prisoners VINO engaged in hunger

"in protest against the cruelty Of the

In his speech Mr.. Malone said:
"The death of this hero after

has exposed the prctense that Great

CORK. Oct. 20 (By The Associated
Press ).-Feverish interest in possible
developments caused by the death of
Lord Mayor MacSwiney is mingled
with the grief in which his death has
plunged the south OF Ireland. Although
the people appear stirred to the highe It
degree of bitterness, it is regarded as
extremely improbable that there will
be any outbreaks or disorderly dem
onstrations in this city
1t is expected, however, there vii! be
considerable extension and intensifl.
cation of guerrilla warfare against the
police and military forces, which, an
tlolpatlng reprisals, are doubling thei,
vigilance, especially in remote districts.
There Is an exceptionally large gar
rson here. 1t is equipped for any
oventualites, has number Of tanks
and armored cars and is ready for in
stant service. Military forces are so
strong that it is considered improbable
that any attempt at force will be made
here.

Cooperation of all agencies in Sc
curing suffrage for the District was
urged by William b. Westlake, presi-
dent of the Federation of Citizens AS
sociations, at meeting last night at
2007 Columbia road Mr.. Westlake
declared that pressure should be
brought to bear to have Congress pass
some sort of suffrage law. and IL 1t
is not satisfactory steps should be
taken later to have it improved.
An outline of the various opinions
in regard to the suffrage question was
given by Mr.. WeStlake, together with
reasons why the citizens of Washing
ton are entitled to the right to vote.
He expressed the belief that Con-
gress will eventually pass a bill CIV
ing suffrage to the District.

ideas have come among us that many

any political party appellation.
As We love country more than

JOHN II. CARIOCk

The people Of this district sincere
ly wished for that time TO arrive
when the office would seek the man
instead Of the man seek the office.
If there over was an act " this
kind anywhere it is in the candidacy
of John H. Carlocll for the state SEN
ate.
Mr.. Carlocll was never a candidate
before The people who know him
best and understand his ability and
his high sense Of honor have without
ceasing urged him to become a can
didate.
Mr.. Carlock has acceded to their
wishes and his announcement will
appear in all the newspapers Of the
district. He is not a political speak
or but he Is worker. He is more
OF a citizen than Il politician. In poll
tics he is a democrat but he is an
American above all else and no man
in all the state is truer to himself
or would sacrifice more for the COM
mon veal Of the people.
He has made some money but has
never developed that greed which
often comes with making money and
is willing to give his time 10 the
duties Of This office. The people Of
this district are 40 be congratulated
that he has consented to offer them
his services.
1t IS unusual for this paper to make
editorial comment upon the announce
ment OF men for public office in To-
cal affairs but in the instance of
John H. Carlock we ask the privilege
Of departing from the regular rules
of the paper and to state that we
are pleased To have man like Mr..

FIRST THINGS FIRST.

voices the fondest desire of every
home builder and every home maker
in our (air city. That the program for
vast civic development may have
right to succeed let it place first
things first.
Just cognizancc and credit is due
those brave ,truo.hearted men and
women whose foresight and patient
perseverance established Ardmore in
this locality tceminG with its vast ag-
riculturaI and commercial potential
tiles Those carly pioneers sacrificed
shaved. yea almost starved. but they
perscrvcred. We, their children, to-
day enjoy the fruits Of their labor
and suffering. Few cities of slower
growth are better laid out. Few have
better natural resources for great
ness. The location for Ardmore was
well chosen. The basis for her great.
ness was unerringly established upon
"a solid foundation. our task is 10

An excellent beginning mas been made

This cannot but be done if We love

The program for civic development
holds yet another labor Of love for

Of today have followed in their foot

have even given their lives TO protect
