THE IRISH RESOLUTION

Senator Sterling of South Dakota
was much alarged, during the man.
euvers upon the treaty reservation
which demanded freedom for Ireland,
by the fact that the senate really
wanted to go on record in 1reland's
behalf. The Gerry reservation de-
clared that the senate adhered to its
resolution of last June, favoring Irish
independence, "and that when such
government is attained by Ireland,
consummation it is hoped is at hand,
it should be promptly admitted as
u member of the league of nations"
Sterling offered an amendment,
striking out the words "a consumma-
ton it is hoped is at hand" in which
he said:
"This particular language, Mr..
President. expresses the hope that
speedily be attained. To whom is the
hope addressed? If it is to Great
Britain it will not hasten proceed
ings in Britain by day. British
statesmen will consider this question,
! and consider it in the interests of
England and Ireland together, and
looking to the best interests of the
people.
us this meant as recognition of
the new Irish republic, of which Mr..
De Valera is the president, self-con-
stituted or chosen without any law
full or constitutional authority for his
assuming that position? Is that the
idea? What is to be accomplished
by language of this kind put in this
amendment-'a contamination it is
hOned is Mt hand'?"
The senate, however, did not agree
with Sterling's assumption that Brit
ish statesmen are handling the Irish
question ITO the best interests of the
people," There were just II votes
against the tabling of his amend
ment. Four of these were Democrat
ic votes.
The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1920-04-02

North Dakota's law to provide
ready-made homes in the town and
ready-made farms in the country,
still held up by sabotage of the anti
farmer interests through the courts,
has already had two imitators. In
the near future the people of Kansas
will vote upon constitutional
amendment to enable the legislature
to use the credit of the state for aid
ing farm ownership.
If it is passed and it's spirit car
ried out properly, Kansas will have a
land bank performing many of the
functions now performed by the cen
trail bank of North Dakota. Anoth-

spectators from running up the SELL
ing prices Of their land and so prac-
tically defeating the farm homes"
amendment, calls for classification of
property for taxation. Improvements
could then be exempted and special
taxes laid on absentee landlordism.
The other case of praise by imita-
ton is found in Milwaukee. For a
long time the labor mayor of that
city has been agitating for city con-
struction of homes to meet the bar
barous overcrowding caused by rapid
growth without new building. The
organized commercial interests, prob

need strong minority criticism while
laws are being made, and chance
to be heard gives the people outside
the needed opportunity to become
familiar with tn different issues.
1t would seem that in real demo-
cracy the legislature should be Il
cross section Of the people, as pro-
portional representation provides,
and not, as is now the case, merely
the faction which gets so per cent
of the votes, or in the case of a
three-cornered fight perhaps only IS
to 40 per cent.
Germany's general strike appears
to have cut the ground from under
Socialists and Catholic party, as we'll
as that under the wild junker revo-
luton. Many cities report severe
fighting between organized workers,
who wish to take things into their
own hands, and the junker troops,
which are looking for hiding places,
or the old government troops.
Latest reports have it that the Ia
Dor leaders of the general strike
which killed the junker revolution
have forced the Ebert government to
agree to the following principles:
a new cabinet will be formed with
cooperation of labor unions.
Officials of the Won Kapp insur-
rection will be punished.
Reorganization of the atlministra-
ton through appointment of republi-
can officials.
Specialization of industry, including
naturalization of mines and the pot
ash industry.
Stronger measures to conserve and
increase the supply of foodstuffs.
Prosecution of illicit traders and
new agrarian measures.
Reorganization of the reichswehr
leadership Of republican officers, with
special recognition of labor unions.
Removal of all known reactionaries
from the government.
J. S. Wordsworth, the Winnipeg
(Canada) minister who was charged
with seditious libel for quoting two
passages from the Prophet Isaiah
during the recent general strike
there, has been acquitted in court. F.
}. Dixon, Independent member of the
Manitoba legislature, who ran the
labor paper after its editor had been
arrested, was likewise acquitted after
conducting his own case. Previous
to these acquittals another of the la
Dor leaders was found guilty.
The Independent and conservative
papers Of Canada are now busy re-
viewing the whole matter, for it
seems that the part played by the
government did not measure up to
what many citizens would consider
honest dealing. 1t came out at the

ton to the senate, was received with

err sharps here.
For weeks past they had felt that,
regardless of the verdict Of the jury,
the people at large would hold New
berry guilty, and that he had become
heavy load for them to carry. His
conviction makes it easy for them
! to start the senate investigation of
charges against him, which will pre-
sumably lead to his being expelled
from the upper house. 1t is assumed
that he will be out on bail for many
months, pending the decision of the
appeal he will make from this ver-
dict, and the necessity of immediate
action to prevent his staying on the
floor of the senate meanwhile is &C
cordingly recognized. Another theo-
ry is that Republicans will cling to
Newberry because they have the ma
jority by only one vote.
Newberry and McCumber of North
Dakota were together paired against
Fall of New Mexico in favor of rati-
flying the treaty with the Lodge res
ervations.
On the afternoon that he voted for
the bigger army, Floor Leader Mon
dell gave the house this opinion of
what he was about to do:
"Mr. Chairman: do not know
what our military establishment is
going to cost. am afraid it is go
ing to cost more than the American
people want to pay. The naval bill
has just been introduced. carrying,
believe, $425,00O,0O0. That is ap-
proximately 1926, 100000 below what
the department wants and insists up
on--and yet it is nearly half the to-
tai annual expenditures of the gov
eminent prior to the World war.
"lhc army bill is coming in a
few days. do not see how it is pos
sibIe to keep that bill below $780,
100000. From $SOO,O0O.OOO to $780,
600 900 seems to be about the least
sum we can bring our military OK
pcnditures within for the coming fis-
cal year.
"No nation ever expended such
sums prior to the World war in time
Of peace for its military establish
mcnts. Imperial Germany in its
paln'icst day; of preparation never
spent that amount
Among the 80 members Of the
house who voted against the bigger
army establishment, with its 1900
officers on the payroll in time of
peace were CarSS and Keller of Min
ncsota, Sinclair of North Dakota,
Evans of Montana, Mays Of Utah,
Sherwood of Ohio and Champ Clark
of Missouri. Most of the remainder
were men from the South, whose
constituents are decidedly hostile to
the miltarist program.

trial for instance, that government
spies spouted radicalism, distributed
wild literature and otherwise lied
systematically to get something on
the labor leaders.
Another point the independents
are bringing out is that while one of
the crown ministers declared the
strike leaders had received Russian
money and issued a garbled letter
with promise Of further sensational
proof, the prosecutor at the trial
said:
1.-THE government does not contend
that the strikers got any money
from the Russian Bolshevik govern
ment or any Bolshevik money what
soever."
And the Ottawa Citizen asks: "Who
is more responsible for shaking the
foundations of constituted authority
in Canada-labor agitators in the
West or bureaucarts on Parliament
hill? ?"
Conviction of Senator Newberry
and l6 party men who aided in his
election is one of the political SEN
sations of the past week. Newberry
is sentenced to two years and fine
of $4,000, and most of those con-
victed with him draw nearly as heavy
sentences. The case will be appealed
to a higher court and many legal
combat will take place before con-
victed persons who have the backing
these have will do any time.
Theoretically the senate might
take action to exclude one who has
been convicted of crime against
the ballot, but political considera-
tons are likely to prevent it. Re-
publicans have the majority by mar
row margin, too narrow to be put
in danger by close inspection of cleo
ton morals. When the loyalty"
shouting was at it's height the SEN
ate refused to listen to the newspa-
per clamor against La Toilette for
this reason. And they certainly hat
Ell La Toilette more than they now
love clean democracy.
Newberry announces his intention
to return to his seat at Washington
And let none think he will be So
cial outcast. What he has been con-
victed of is nothing more than all the
reactionary politicians have been the
bcneticiaries of or helped to promote
whenever it looked as if progressive
had chance to carry the day. New
berry merely turned against Henry
Ford was is played continuously
against the Nonpartisan league.
One of the numerous points
brought out at the trial was that to
show his exceptional patriotism the
Ncwbcrry crowd had reel made of
him in carious heroic poses or paste

In the World.

Wind Cave National park, South Da-
kota, containing 10.S99 acres, consists
Of series of long. narrow passage
ways having variations in height and
width, and. opening into irregular
chambers at intervals. There are
three principal divisions. the first, into
which the entrance descends, being a
long. narrow tunnel leading southeast.
II extends 500 feet lower than the EN-
trance and $50 feet below the surface
of the ground above.
The trail then ascends by stairway
to the upper level of the cave, and
thence through other chambers to the
Garden of Eden. the end of this route.
From the crossroads on this division
there is branch passage leading To
the northeast. Here it joins the third
division. northwesterly TO the Pearly
Gates, parallel to the entrance passage.
There are several branches. the
largest leading upward into the Fair
Grounds. 100 feet higher than adjoin-
ing portions Of the cave II is reached

Recently workmen have unearthed
in a portion Of the Alamo grounds at

of the heroes of Texas whose bodies
were cremated by the victorious hOrdes
under Santa Anna.
No effort was made 10 gather the
bones nor TO remove them TO the in

mitted TO remain where they were

the spot, the ground where the dis

walls and part of the property which
has gone to commercial use.
The homes were found some 200
feet south OF the wall of the Alamo
