THE SIM FEM SHOWING.

Nearly complete returns from Ire land
show that Sinn Fein and Labor combined
have captured only 965 out of 1,S46 local
government Offices. Sim Fein itself won
but 571, less than one-third This is a
very different showing from the first
report that Sim Fein and its allies had
carried two-thirds of the elections. 1t
enhances the hopefulness Of the outlook
for a settlement. 1t Is true that outside
Ulster the republican forces have what
Dublin dispatches call "a great preponder-
ance, but an active, strong minority Is
revealed even there.
The election reveals that in the fsce of
the sturdy unionist sentiment in southern
ireland and the overwhelming Uniorist
passion in much of Ulster the Sim Fein
road Is one of madness. Even were
Great Britain willing to yield, Sim Fein
policy would irreconcilably divide the IS
land. The one hope for Irish peace and
happiness is IN Irish union, and the one
hope for Irish union is in Home Rule or
Dominion Home Rule under the Empire
The time seems more pfopitious than had
been thought for an energetic effort by
the Ministry 70 push Lloyd Georges new
plsn. No outsider would welcome
rapid calming of the Irish situation more
than would America We have suffered
much from professional Irish agitators IN
the past, but now We are suffering more
than ever.-New York Evening Post.

Money in Political Campaigns

In public letter denying statement
that the Democratic National Com
mittee contemplated raising q campaign
fund of so, 1000 600, this year, Chairman
Homer s. Cummings said: Such fund
could not be raised and could not be
properly used If raised Our purposes
have been plain and unmistakable. We
seek only enough campaign contributions
to enable US to conduct egitimate cam
psign and to present our cause adequately
to the people"
Chairman Cummings is right Cor
ruption funds for the prosecution of
national campaigns have been the ex-
elusive prerogative of the Republican
National Committee for many years.
Its disposition in this respect was first
prominently manifested IN 1880, when
Chairman Dorsey disereetly advised the
use of soap, and instructed his Co
workers in Indiana to divide the float
ers' into blocks OF FIVE, each in command
of competent leader In this manner
the then Democratic State of Indiana
was purchased The latest notable pubic
manifestation was on the eve OF the cleo
ton in Delaware, IN 1918, when Chair
man Hays. after q visit here TO '1ook
over the situation" caused $Ss.oo0 of the
committees funds TO be sent here. How
this large sum of money was employed
in small State it will not be difficult for
anyone to imagine.
Chairman Cummings is right. An
campaign fund could not be
properly used if raised The Demo
cratic National Committee can well
afford to permit the disreputable work Of
raising huge funds for corrupt purposes
to be monopolized by the Republican
Committee and its agents.

PUNISH FIREBUGS OF SEDITION.

The Reds, anarchists. domestic enc
mics and kindred vermin are max
ing 3 concerted howl against the Sc
ditlon bills In Congress. Free speech
Is in peril. they say; free speech, that
sacred and inviolabIe right g,Iaran-
teed by the Constitution.
What a spectacle 1t Is to see the Con-
stitution invoked by these scoundrels
who seek TO destroy it, What an un-
complimentary standard of American
intelligence they must have, these for
eign and anti-American elements which
now ask patriotic citizens to protect
unbridled speech, IN order that treason
may do its work unhampered
Unfortunately there are some Ameri-
cans who are taken in by such fallacies
as those uttered by the enemies Of the
United States. Free speech Ii sounds
well. Who would dare to stop the mouth
OF man who honestly utters ms thoughts
IN the hope of beneftting the world? Ism It
America the land of the free? The curb
ing OF free speech Is the act of tyrants,
czars and autocrats Let ideas be fought
with better ideas. The poison gas of
treasonable speech will evaporate when
1t Is released, according to a learned
jurlst. Let it flow freely; let 1T spread
where it will. If you curb it, if you
deprive a rfan of the right to utter
whatever he pleases, something terrible
will happen. He will explode, perhaps;
or perhaps the Constitution will explode
or maybe both viii blow up in dire
combustion. So many worthy Americans
are fooled into taking an attitude
against the restraint of treason by listen
ing to specious arguments which always
conceal the difference between the right
Of free speech and the, abuse of that
ashington Post.

PRESS COMMENT.
SUPREME COUNCIL AND rrs WORK

That they have buildcd perhaps better
than most Of their critics are disposed 10
think IS the case would seem TO be tho
reasonable Judgment on the work Of the
supreme Council Of the Peace Conference
which has just adjourned Fos one thing,
the announcement Of Japan that IL intends
to withdraw from Siberia in full co-opcra-
tion with the United States gives special
point To the valedictory of Clcmenceau
that If Great Britain, the United States,
Italy and Japan remain united there is
guarantee OF peace which cxccods all those
guarantees which can be put on paper"
And Tor another thing Clemenceau's state
mcnt that the Council members worked
together as friends charged with great
duty to make peace. 10 prolong the state
of peace frst of all between ourselves,
while increasing the chances Of peace for
humanity" is a very fair statement of
what went on in Paris, be the complca-
tions what they may. The work done in
view OF the stupendous and appalling
nature OF the task not only warrants the
minute of appreciation Of Clemonceau,
moved by Lloyd George, but also that
larger appreciation that the colleagues of
Clemenceau should receive from the
world ut large.
No one questions that the first Supreme
Council adJourns at a time when many
things are unsettled. What il did will
please neither the extremists who stand
for class distinctions and the overthrow Of
orderly government, nor those who in the
name OF nationalism would upset all the
efforts of the Peace Conference To secure
a reasonable and practical adjustment Of
things for the time being. None of the
members of the Supreme Council posed as
s,Ipermeu least of all the Es,ropcan stefca-
men; but no one can deny, whatever may
be the disappointments of the various
Allied nations, parties to the peace, as
well as those upon whom peace Was inn
posed, that the negotiators believed they
were inspired by desire not only to do
justice TO all, but to promote this justice
along the lines that would not make pos
sible a recurrence of the frightful univer-
sal injustice involved in the arbtrament of
war and the appeal to force. Philadelphia

Holland and the Kaiser.

II is not surprising that the govern
mcnt Of Holland, after due confederation,
should have court4ously denied the re-
quest Of the allied governments for =
surrender Of the person of William Hoheai-
sollern, last Emperor o Germany, who
has been refugee in the Dutch country
since the close Of the Great War. 1t was
only what was expected.
Holland simply stands by long, and III
the main honorable, tradition in this
attitude. For centuries that country has
been the refuge of the oppressed OF other
nations. Its doors were openec1/wide To
those who fed from their home countries
to evade what they looked upon as unjust
oppression and unlawful outrage OF per-
son and property. for the alleged crime
of respecting conscience in matters OF
religion or public welfare. The Pilgrim
Fathers assembled in Holland and set sail
from Dutch port on their cpoch-making
voyage to the cold and inhospitable shores
of Massachusetts.
II is not believed, however, any OF the
Allied governments will feel seriously Of
Tended at Hollands refusal to surrender
the person of the late Kaiser. His ar
raignment and trial would have been
productive of awkward situations arising
from lack of precedent for such pro-
cedure, and indeed, lack of international
law upon which TO base his proposed trial.
As to his punishment, he is getting 1T
now, a punishment far greater than WAS
that inflicted upon Napoleon by long
exile at St Helena. HIS fall IN some re-
specis was as great as was Napolcon's,
but he has not the splendid past to con-
template and draw inspiration and con-
ISOLATION from, as had the great Emperor
of the French in his lonely island prison.
But while the KAISER will be left to the
punishment of bitter retrospectIon, such
will not be the fate of those human brutes
among his armies who so ruthlessly
violated the rules of war and the dictates
of humanity in their campaigns of desoia-
ton and destruction. They will be brought
TO book in due time, fairly tired, and no
doubt adequately punished.

Federal Reserve System.

Reports of bank earnings for the year
1919, Just following the close OF a war
that rocked the world for almost half a
decade, are q new and eloquent tribute to
the Federal Reserve System under which
the financial institutions of the country
have been operating since 1914 That
there should have been no failures or
panics or depression In a period when the
country was turning from the business Of
war to the pursuits of peace: when the
immense debts incurred In the conflict with
Germany were at their maximum; when
four millions of men were being replaced
in the industries from which they were
drawn to FIJI the army and navy, is without
parallel, but that this very time was one
of prosperity and soundness beyond COM
parLson is no less than marvellous.
The figures are the most startling testi-
mony at once of the Federal Reserve Sys-
TENS incalculable value and of the nations
wonderful position. Gross earnings of the
banking institutions, the comptroller OF
the Currency reports, were 81 GOO, 900 900
in 1919 In the same twelve months their
net profits were approximately $500, ,OO0,-
600. These figures testify not only to the
healthfulness of business and industry in
the past year. They are an earnest Of the
prosperity of the year to come.
Who of all the critics of the Federal
Reserve System when it was in process of
creation would propose its disestablish-
ment now in the face of the facts?

SUPPORT FOR CONSTITUTION.

Those who are talking revolution
and those who are giving support to
the VICIOUS Leaders OF movements that
are subtle and dangerous appear to
quite overlook the fact that during its
lifetime the American Constitution has
fathered alterations IN the administra-
tlon of the government that were as radi-
cal IN their nature as anything that a
revolution could fix upon the United States
once the country had simmered down, fol-
lowing the revolt.
Ii any of the fathers who framed the
immortal document had foreseen that it
would have added To it an amendment to
prohibit the manufacture and sale of
Intoxicating liquors, he would probably
have demanded instant correction of the
instrument to obviate SO vast an inter-
ference with the customs and rights OF the
people. Probably like feeling would have
been exhibited if it could have been fore
seen that amendments would be adopted
to give Negro full freedom and full
political rights. Yet these things haves
taken place urder the Constitution,
with woman's suffrage following close
upon prohibit IN.
The American system of government is
susceptible to any kind of political change
that the people may demand. Hence there
is neither room nor tolenrace for those
who impudently compare it with the
government of the late Gar of Russia,
and who propose to have the bomber or
bomb advocate planted In front of the
Constitution with his missile.
The very fact that the real friends
of the aliens and the alien-born citi-
zen earnestly seek to have campaign of
education carried on in their behalf, and
to have them advanced in knowledge of
the government and in assimilation with
the native American people is proof
enough that those who are IN need of such
instruction are certainly not the ones to
whom TO turn for leadership in the work
ing out of any larger liberties of the people. |
