REPUDIATED DEvALERA

"The press dispatches inform us that the prominent civic bodies in Jackson.
 Miss, has repudiated De Valera and the executive committee of the American Le-
 zion post at Jacksonville. Fla, said he
 was not wanted there. He also encoun.
 tarede opposition at San Francisco and
 Los Angeles, but am not sufficiently in- formed on details to say from whence the opposition came.
 "A casual inspection of Mir De vaiera's itinerary will show that it was carefully planned. He started in strongly Irish Catholic communities. led by men like the Rev. Dr. Coyle of St. Pauls church m Birmingham who said during the war: T am perfectly wiling to be placed with my Teutonic friends. I would, confess t. choose their company any day to either Anglo-Saxon or the American. hyphenated or otherwise. who longs for he success of that nation (England)- (Age-Herald March 9. 19i5).
 .In nearly every instance the invitation las been urged or obtained by some per son of the same persuasion and views. If he men who have been responsible for De valera's presence in this country. had the interest of America at heart as much as they have what they claim is Ire 'ands interest. he would never have land- sd in this country. to geneTates dissen- ton among our people.
 MT. sweeney attempts to Sohpdfc ue Valera to George Washington; there IS
 no more comparison between the two than between pole cat and perfume
 bottle. or between Benedict Arnold and Robert E. Lee. George Washington en- tered the fight for liberty against a Ger
 man king on the English throne The
 people he represented never -resorted to snurder, arson. assination and the like.
 He is almost as much respected in Fnr-
 land as he is in America De Valera
 and his crowd lined up with the oppres-
 sors of Belgium. the rapists of France,
 and the tyranicaI military element of
 Germany. Washington fought the Hes
 sion in f'7e, and Pershing fought the Hun
 in 1918. Neither had the sympathy of the
 Sinn Fein branch of the Irish race. and
 in each instance it was important that
 none but those who were imbued with
 American ideals should be placed on
 guard. That is probably why the Sim
 Feiners compose one of the largest bodies
 of slackers on the globe. Their p-opa-
 Eanda can do Birmingham no good

 The speaker said that church peop's often become discouraged because they could not see the good effect their worh and advertising for Christ was doing
