Chasing the Irish Vote

The President must regard his
cause and that of his party as most
desperate. Else he would not resort
to the old political trick of fooling,
or trying to fool, the Irish.
The President is no stranger to
disingenuousness, but nothing has
come from his pen which more studi-
ously endeavors to cover up and be-
fog the truth than the wriggling let
ter yesterday published.
Men of Irish birth and extraction
who are interested in bringing about
Irish independence are much con-
cerned over what would be the atti-
tude Of the United States, If a men,
her with England Of the League Of
Nations, toward such independence.
Would this country assist Ireland or
would it be bound to assist England
either actively by armed support
or passively by holding that the re-
lations Of England and Ireland con-
stitute domestic question with
which the league has nothing to do?
Instead of meeting the issue the
President lodges behind a forced in
depreciation of an obscure article Of
the covenant. This article says
league member may bring before it
"any question whatever affecting in
ternational relations" On this tot
tering base the President seeks to
erect the conclusion that the league
may take jurisdiction Of the English
Irish dispute.
This, Of course, Is gross misrepres
sentation. 1t ignores the primary
question as to whether a dispute be-
tween England and Ireland is of in
ternational character. II not 80 in
the view Of international law, then
we are to be pledged not to go to
Ireland's aid.
Is the controversy international or
domestic? Article XIV provides a
method of ascertaining. When ap-
pealed to the council is to decide. If
it rules that it is domestic, as it
must if it follows international law,
"the council" it is declared, "shall
make no report"
The criterion of jurisdiction Is the
quality of controversy. The Pres
ident does not venture even to hint
doubt Of the fact that according to
the usages of nations dispute over
the political status Of Ireland is a
domestic question. He knows how
our delegate, would be compelled to
vote.
Under the covenant the weight of
our influence as a nation would be
on the English side, for to stand
aloof would, Of course, be to assist
England.
Senator Harding has dared, man
fashion, to tell the truth to sympa-
thizers with Irish independence. He
has declared that the question is one
which international law recognizes
as domestic, and that thus as a ma
tion we cannot go beyond an express
sion Of sympathy.
The President, with the approval
Of Mr.. Cox as a "me too," chases
the Irish vote by shuffling. He
bangles a false hope-a hope he
knows Is false. He does not say Cox
as his understudy will do anything
for Ireland, for this might lose more
votes than it would gain, but he sug.
gests maybe. The insincerity is SC
palpable that it is unlikely many
will be deceived.

"1t's pretty SOFT" thought the Crooked
Guy, "I'm going to have my whack
At some Of this cleanup stuff myself
and grab off some easy jack;
They'll chuck me out in couple of
years, when my souper's old and
stiff,

Oh, had q lot more on my mind that
day than l had on the well known

Shed a tear, sentimental reader, for
the wifeless, childless ballplayer
whose crookedness has been exposed.
Mercenary fellow, he must have done
it just for the money.
LATER-Each of the eight White
Sox players indicted is. married. Dry
your tears.
Our wagers on the 1919 series were
with the sole thought of buying things
for the Wife and the Home. We bet,
it may be recalled, on the Sox, conf
dent in the puissance and skill of Mr.
Cicotte. If Eddie, as tendcr-heartcd d
pitcher as ever hurled a shine ball,
had only known!
When We learned there wasn't any
Santa Claus we felt q good deal the
way we did upon the discovery that
throwing ball game was possible. We
had always contended that it couldn't
be done; that too many players would
have to be reached for the thing to
be feasible; that a players reputation
was more to him than the most money
he could make by being crooked; that
if more than two players were in on
the deal the crookedness would tran
spire, and the consequent scandal
would give Organized Baseball blow
it never would recover from. And, in
the main, that still is our contention
Baseball is honest, automatically. And
we'll bet $44, which we just have
planked down for two seats for four
games in Brooklyn, that the American
League takes the series.
Doubtless Mr.. Cicotte finds 1t hard
to sleep these nights. His itful slum-
her, at any rate, probably is disturbed
by dreams in which he hears the entire
American public yelling "Take him
out! Take him out!"

nevertheless, they had to write SON

Nor think that it was sent by God in love,
And yet. it seems that though our feet is set
In paths of sordidness. we still behold
Each in our fellow-mortal more than just
The clay. There is in everyone the joy
In beauty and in truth, which is real gold,
And soon or late must overcome the lust
For gold for our carmel appetite we employ.

Vote No and Save Taxes.
A Letter From Miss Triple.


The latest letter from Miss Triple
is dated March Is and has evidently
reached here ahead Of several letters
written earlier in which she must have
described her trip from Constantine
pie to Batoum and from thence to
Tiflis and Alexandropol, from which
she wrote. This letter bears French
stamps, so was likely carried into
France by some traveller and posted
there, which explains it's quick trip.
In the first Of this letter she describes
the Christmas celebration they had at
the orphanage at Sivas, Turkey, where
she was in charge most of last year.
Extracts from her letter follow:
Alexandropol, Armenia, Caucasus,
March Is, 1920.
My Christmas was tinged with sad
ness somewhat for had not received
one message from home. I did not re-
ceive even Merry Christmas from
across the water. (Note-This is an
example Of the uncertainty Of the mail
service between here and Turkey, for
many of Miss Tipple's friends sent
letters which should have reached her
in time.) The Armenian and Greek
Christmas comes later-in the month
OF January-but on the 25th of Dec
ember We celebrated our own. The
entire unit went out to the beloved
farm and had dinner in large room
over the old mill that still makes flour
by one large flat stone rolling upon
another. The room was beautifully
decorated with evergreens, red ber-
ries, Turkish wall and flower rugs and
Ia Christmas tree. We had a little
stage with headlights and footlights
candles in rows upon all the beams,
and quaint lanterns). The tables were
beautifully set. Little camels and
donkeys carved from wood and paint
ed, with little blue collars upon them
served as place cards. These were
made in our toy shop at the orphanage
by my boys.
After our dinner we had a play,
coached and participated in by me.
1t was funny and greatly delighted
the audience. All the transportation
boysAmerican soldiers from Oula
Kishla to Harpoot were invited.
