SITUATION IS SERIOUS
Sharp Debate In House Of Com
mons On Irish Crisis.
Government Criticised IN Acrimonious
Observation-Disclosures leaedrs Say
Government Powerless.

London-Moving the adjournment of
the House of Commons for the purpose
of calling attention to the rioting in
Londonderry, Lieut.. Col. Wilfred Ash
ley, Uniontst, declared that victory
rested with the assassins and not with
the government, which appeared
powerless to maintain the sanctity Of
life. The chief secretary for Ireland
and the viceroy, he said, were prison
ers in their own houses; the officials
of Dublin were equally prisoners and
obliged TO take exercise in the castle
grounds. The nations of the world
were pointing the finger of scorn at
Englanfs inability to maintain her au-
thortty in Ireland. He demanded mar
tial law and more troops.
The Rt. Hon. Denis Henry, attorney
general for Ireland, replying to the
criticism of Colonel Ashley and
other speakers, threw little new hight
on the situation. He said the author.
tiles IN Ireland has been given fullest
authority to call for whatever was
necessary and to adopt measures con.
sidered desirable and the police and

worse than IN Londonderry, and in this
connection he expressed approval Of

Andrew Bonar Law, the government
spokesman, declared he considered
there was an adequate military force

chief secretary for Ireland, he said.

LANCER Has 100 Votes To Spare According To The
Available Returns, Wilson Only Precinct Missing
Candidacy
5000 Majority Fig
Returns Not

One of the most bitter political
campaigns in the history of the state
is over, and the wiressare being kept
hot bringing in the returns.
Emmons county has again refused
to enter the Townley column, and re-
ports from Fargo indicate victory
for LANCER in the state by some 1O,-
900 majority. The LANCER majority
in this county is about 100, one pre-
cinct being missing. Gronna, for
United States senator. and Young, for
congress in this district have forged
far ahead Of their league opponents )
Streeter, Hall and Kositzky have SUBJ
.stantial leads in the county, while the
remaindr of the state ticket seems to
hsve run somewhat closer.
{. For the legislature, Anderson. and
Baumgartner have far our-distan ed
Harding and Scherr, and Galbreatn
and Mckee Of Kidder, are holding up
well. Reports indicate that the
league candidates will carry
'Kidder, but will have hard time
to overcome the Emmons county lead.
Some of the anti -Townley legislative
candidates, and possibly all, appear to
be certain winners. However, only
about half Of the precincts in Kidder
had been heard from when the Record
went to press. Kidder has material
ly decreased its league lead Of year
ago.
In the county fight all the anti
Townley candidates seem to have the
favored positions. The returns on
county Offices are less complete, but
the only close races seem to have been
between Brant and Snyder for audi
tor and Miller and volk for sheriff
In the latter case, the league had CEN
tered on one man, the antis on another,
and Lee and Clancy ran Independent
ly. Wagner ran completely away
from Gontka. Irvine had no trouble
with Steiner, Carley ran well against
Junge. Coventry hit fast stride
against George Lynn for states at
torney, Lynn losing Linton 100 to 72.
DuHeaume had a picnic with Horner
for commissioner. She exact figures
on the Schall- Kraft fight in the Hague
district are not yet available, but
Hogue and Elsas polled mammoth
vote for Shall.
The county fights were purely in
the nature. Of preliminary, as the
two high men in each race run again
in the fall under the new law.
If there were ertain individuals who
believed that an easy way to a county
office was by climbing on the Town.

present election has done much to dis.

Berger's Second Exclusion

The House Of Representatives, by
q vote Of 1928 to 6, has once more
voted to exclude Victor L. Berger
from membership.
The ground for this practically
unanimous action is the same as be-
fore-namely, that Mr.. Berger has
been duly convicted of having vio-
lated. a law of the United States,
and, "having previously taken an
cath as member Of Congress to
support the Constitution of the
United States, had given aid and
comfort to the enemies of the United
States." Not as Socialist, as Rep
resentative Dollinger declared, but
as guilty Of treason, was he ex-
cluded.
Mr.. Berger has recently asserted
he is not a revolutionary or an advo-
cate Of force-that he has not
countenanced resort to violence.
Over against this disclaimer may be
placed the following from a signed
article by him published in The MI
quduEee Social Democratic Herald:
"No one will claim that l am given
to the reciting of revolutionary
phrases. On the contrary, am
known to be a constructive. Social
ist. However, in view Of the pluto
cratic lawmaking Of the present
day, 1T is easy to predict that the
safety and hope of this country will
lie in one direction only-that of a
riolent and bloody revolution. There
fore, say, each of the 500,O 900 Social
ist voters and the 100000 working
men who instinctively incline our way
should, besides doing much reading
and still more thinking, also have q
good rifle and the accessory rounds of
ammunition in his home and be pre-
pared to back up his ballots with his
bullets, if necessary"
This was written as far back as
1909. In view Of Mr. Berger's views
before the war ard his conduct dur
ing the war, it is not strange that
the sincerity of his present pretend
ed devotion to peaceful and constitu-
tional agitation is doubted.

which naturally spells simplicity
the limit in the bizarre and the
ridiculous having been reached and
passed.
1t is a sweet word, genteel, as it
falls from the lips of these remodel
lers of Americas shoulders. "a few
months from now man will not
cause comment because he is dressed
like gentleman" declares the Off
|cial spokesman for the designers.
This is, indeed, thrilling news if
true. We have always wondered
why it never was true--why the
epoch-making thought never oc-
Cured to the designers of clothes for
the millions. It seemed so obvious
and profitable. Yet it was studiously
ignored. Would the millions have
none Of such clothes? Or did it
never occur to any one? Or is it
that the last freak and added eccen-
tricity has now been tried out and
only the genteel is left?

Why Not Tell?

In his reply to Judge Hughes
Speaker Sweet asks for suspension
of judgment until the Judiciary
Committee Of the Assembly holds its
hearings.
The Speaker thus seems to con-
cede that the exclusion of the Social
ist five is not justifable merely be-
cause of their party affiliation-that
it is essential to establish personal
guilt.
The Speaker makes progress. His
first utterance was not exactly in
this spirit. He seemed to convict in
advance of any trial.
But why hold back the evidence, if
there is any? Why not reveal its
color at once? No reason for delay
is advanced.
The Speaker must be aware that
his silence concerning the nature of
the evidence leads many to think
there isn't any.

service in America at least, has been
notoriously susceptible to the emo
tional effect of a starry eye or a
rosebud mouth.
The committee would have been
more in agreement with the general
view had it expressed the fear that
if given an important share of court
work women soon would demand
short cuts in judicial processes. New
at the business Of helping to run
the country, without background
of ancient usage, woman jurors may
object to the usual ponderosities
not because of inability to under
stand. but of impatience with sense
less verbosity. Women are the prac-
tical sex, we are told, and are likely
to revolt against the droning pro-
lixity which the law loves. The
solicitor Of the Shandy family used
several pages of the Shandy mar
riage contract merely to say, as
Tristram remarked, that Mrs.
Shandy could go to London only once
a year at her husbands expense.
Setting new fashion in court
procedure, banishing the present
style of endless red tape, would be
a real achievement for emancipated
woman.

obviously approaches the subject Of
women serving on juries with some
trepidation. The committee. it's

course opposed to the woman Juror.

For Delegate-at-Large
TO the Editor of The Tribune.

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: With that strange lack of vision
and political foresight that has often
IN the past characterized Republican
leadership, notice the "Republican
organization of this state" purpose 20
exclude women from membership OF
the "big four" i. e. the delegates-at
large to the Republican National Con-
ventlon, Notwithstanding the fact that
women constitute one-haf of the Re
publican voters Of the state. AS if to
emphasize this ignoring of the new
voters it is purposed to send as one
of the "big four" United States SEN
ator who, through. his vote and in
f,uence, put forth every possible eff
fort to prevent the right of SUFFRAGE
nelng extended to women. Could any,
thing more stupid, politically, be i'm
agined?
Fortunately, there is means at
hand that may be used in saving the
party from the consequences of such
unwise and short-sighted leadership
The direct primary makes it possible
independent Of the regular partv or
ganlzation, to have names of candi-
dates for delegates placed on the pri-
mary ballot in the same manner and
on an equal footing in all respects with
those that will be named by "the or
ganization" at it's Forthcoming Gun
official convention"
In this connection I am sure I voice
'no sentiment of Republicans of Now
York generally and will have their in
slant Endorsement when l suggest for

OF keen intellect and broad vision.
who is in every way fitted and qualified
to splendidly represent the Republi
cans Of New York In the National Con-
vention. This woman is Mrs. Margaret
Blaine Damrosch.
1t will be agreed that the fact that
Mrs. Damrosch Is a daughter of that
most !llustrious and brilliant Repub-
lican James G. Blaine would be an
added reason why the Republican
voters Of this state would delight to

Are Americans Crazy e?

Some OF the statements made to
explain and rationalize the ever up
ward trend Of prices for food and
clothing involve fat challenge of
American sanity They may be true.
But, if they are, "Whos looney
now" is the proper tag for post
war Americans.
Mr.. William NJ. Wood, the presi-
dent Of the American Woolen Com
pany, said not long ago that prices
Of mems clothing were high because
purchasers Of suits demanded the
highest grades of woolens and would
take no others. That is a echo of
the meat dealers we'll known COM
plant that his customers all want
tenderloin and porterhouse steaks
and sniff with scorn at cuts which
are more plebeian.
We are disposed to attribute a
sense Of humor to the frolicsome
butcher, whose sardonic attitude
toward the world at large is pro-
verbal. We might think that Mr..
Wood was also indulging in genial
sarcasm. But here comes Mr.. Ar
thur Williams, the Food Administra-
tor in these parts, whose experiences
should by this time have made him
impervious to- the righteousness Of
those who have things to sell and
want to sell them at decorative
prices. Discussing the ballooning of
footwear quotations, following re-
ported declines in the price of hides,
Mr.. Williams says somewhat enip
matically:
THE peculiar part of the whole
shoe situation is that dealers cannot
turn out enough expensive shoes
[Oughtn't enough and expensive
to be transposed know of one
firm that manufactures shoes to or
der fare shoes ever manufactured to
for these shoes is remarkable. The
owner Of the plant tells US that his
difficulty lies not in disposing of the
shoes, but in obtaining expert work
mon to manufacture them.
"Above all things It is necessary to
prevent unfair merchants from tax

That Wet Atlantis
Reasons Why 1t Is Likely to
Remain a MYTH
To the Editor of The Tribune

10 the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: In the magazine section of las,
Sundays issue of The Tribune there
was an article by Mr. Fred B. Pitney on
the proposed island of Atlantis for III,
sale of liquor, etc, and the impression
gained is that this sale could be cur
.ried on without lindrance from the
United States unless the United States
by high-handed course. by the righl
of might stopped it, and this without
the might of right back of it. This,
think. is not quite true, and ! would
like to call attention to reasons why
think there would be might Of right
back of ii.
First, it is likely that the Treasury
Department might consider that It
would make smuggling easier, and
therefore, take steps 20 have it stopped
! In this I believe they would be acting
within the law of reason, for there is
no reason to doubt that articles Of
small size. easily carried in ones
pocket, could be brought there from
foreign shores and passed over TO some
casual visitor from he states who woue
carry them in. In order to overcome this
possibility il would be necessary for
each boat coming into any port within
three or four hundred miles from thst
point to be searched, passengers and
all. This would require an immense
increase in the personnel of the Gus
toms service, d greatly increased cost
and also an immense amount of how
ing from coastwise passengers that
otherwise are free from such treat
ment.
Second, there is more than a passing
possibility Of crime OF some kind o.
another being committed thcye. and Il
so where could a complaint be made
According to the article The attorney
generals OF the nearby states have DIS
claimed any jurisdiction over that pff'
of the sea. If the owners tried TO hoIo
courts and try the defendant and foun0
him guilty what would they do vi"
him? If jailable ofYense would the'
detain him or if guilty of homle'o'
would they execute him? Should the'
try to do either one of these tney
would then become chargeable VIE
piracy. Should they take ano'ns'
course and try to reimburse one wS'
claimed that his money or valuaos'
had been taken it would not take iont
before there would be many claimants
which would soon dcpiete any prom

The Colonel House Mystery

Some new light has just been
thrown on the mystery Of the break
between President Wilson and
Colonel House. In an article in
the January issue of The Atlantic
Monthly Mr.. Charles H. Grasty, dis
cussing "the personality behind the
President" indicates that Colonel
House somewhat overplayed his
role as the Presidents deputy in
matters Of world politics
The colonel, in Mr.. Grasty's view,
could have exercised without any
restraint the powers Of an un-
official domestic grand vizier Of the
Marcus A. Hanna type, for the rea-
son that the President was never
even moderately interested in the
details of patronage distribution,
party management and domestic
political strategy. But when it
came to reconstructing the world at
Paris the President concentrated
all responsibility in his own hands
and became highly impatient of the
concurrent services of any vice
regent or coadjutor.
Mr.. Grasty says:
Mr.. Wilson's tendency to give his
Endorsement in blank has sometimes
got him into trouble No man
should have been put into the posi-
tion that Colonel House was. The
country resented it, and finally the
colonel himself used the Presidents
writ too freely, with the result that
unity Of policy was somewhat i'm
paired at Paris. Colonel House
filled deeply felt need at the White
House and from the Presidents
point of view was most helpful. He
was very active in the field in which
the President had disabilities. He
loved being a Warwick as much as
the President hated the whole busi-
ness Of handling patronage. House
was, as it were, bureau drawer
for things he did not exactly know
where else to put. The Texan ts
orderly minded and has much ga
gacity, but he overestimated his
reach. 1t was inevitable that this
should be the result of the Presi-
dents clothing him with too much
power"
Mr.. Grasty says that he "estab-
lished a relationship" with the Presi-
dent at Paris during the peace con-
ference. Presumably, he had the
means of informing himself of the
tragedy through which the colonel
, lost his kitchen cabinet prime min
!, istership. He tells much; but he
doesn't tell enough. Will the coun.
try have to await revised edition
Of Colonel Houses autobiography
Tor a complete account Of the cir.
cumstances of that descent from
, favor whose bitterness Cardinal
Woolsey may we'll have hinted at
in the famous words to Cromwell
, "And when he falls he falls like
Lucifer'?
