IRISH FREEDOM
(By John Bush)

The Irish question is one upon
which countless volumns have been
written and many orations made, yet
no tongue can express or pen des-
cribe the sufferings of the Irish peo-
pie in their seven hundred and fifty
years of struggle for independence.
Many writer's have left touching
descriptions of the misery that has
come before their own eyes. | have
seen, says Lecky, the Irish historian,
"the laborer endeavoring to work at
his spade, but fainting from want of
food and forced to quit. l have seen
the aged father eating grass like a
beast and in the anguish of his soul
wishing for his dissolution. have
seen the helpless orphan exposed on
the dung heap and none to take him
in for fear of infection, and | have
seen the hungry infant sucking at the
breast of the already expired parent"
The French publicist Gustave de
Beaumont, having visited Ireland in
1885 wrote: 81 have seen the Indian
in his forest, and the negro in his
chains, and l thought that l beheld
the lowest forms of human misery,
but I did not then know the lot of
Ireland"
The ordinary American has not
learned to differentiate between the
England which is and the England
that seems to be. He has not come
to understand that the English dem
ocracy of which he hears and reads
so much, has little reality in fact and
in government, and that England still
continues to be governed by hand
full of men representing, with but few
exceptions, the same small group of
titled land-controlling families that
have governed her since the days of
Henry VIII. England may differ
upon domestic problems, upon ques-
tions of taxation, education and reli-
gion, but she stands as a unit when
the opportunity is presented to, take
advantage of openings given to make
and unmake alliances, to make and
break treaties, to take advantage of
friend and foe in order to add to her
own wealth and power and to break
down those who have stood against
her; and one of the results of this
policy is seen in the proud boast of
England that the sun never sets on
the British Empire, and that her flag
flies in triumph over territory in every
continent and is carried aloft on every
sea of the world.
In the early stages Of the late great
war the world was made familiar
with the story of the treatment the
Belgians received at the hands of the
invaders, but not an atrocity was
charged against the Germans which
could not be duplicated in England s
treatment of Ireland.
England says she remains in Ire.
land only for two reasons-frst, be-
cause Irishmen cannot agree poiit-
ically; and second, because Ireland
cannot financially stand alone. Neither
statement has the slightest founda-
tion in fact. In one year according
to Lloyd Georges own figures, Eng
land collected a revenue of more than
34,000,000 pounds. She spent on
what she is pleased to call the gov
ernment of Ireland, 100000 leaving
profit to herself of 21,000,000
pounds, an equivalent of about $105,-
100000 profit gathered to herself
through taxation of Ireland. This

HOLD DOWN IMMIGRATION

immigration authorities say they
are "swamped" by a flood of foreign
labor
Millions of acres here are I'M
touched, vast deserts need irrigation,
gigantic disease-breeding swamps
need drainage, roads, canals and rail-
roads need building This country
needs labor; all that it can get. But
this country also needs industrial
peace, and that requires intelligent
organization of industry, far-seeing,
wise planning, great industrial corpo-
rations that represent wholesale en-
ployment.
If these giant employers simply
look upon the new immigrant labor
with joy because "it will help to cut
down wages" they are acting in an
old-fashioned, foolish groove.
You can no longer solve industrial
problems by keping the labor supply
always in excess of employment. You
cannot keep men "quiet" by occasion
ally shutting down a factory and
opening up soup kitchen. That time
has gone by.
AS the needed immigration pours
in, those that control finances and
employment will, if wise, see to it
that work is found for those that come
for good wages and work continued
for those that already here, at good
wages.
If that is neglected, look out for
trouble. The workers will not be the
chief sufferers.-Exch.
Happiness is habit. Cultivate it.
Be sure of one thing-yourself An
ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of

No Shortage in United States Supplies
 In spite of a world shortage of sugar and a decrease of 40,000, 900 pounds in do- nestle production, there has been use1 or boarded during the current year in the Urited States b per cent. more sugar than in any previous period. It is obvi- CT supply of sugar than ever before has been handled in this country the past few months with net imports 25 per cent, or over one billion pounds, greater tha min any previous period. It is obvi- ous, therefore that there has been no actual sugar Shortage here this year. The difficulties encountered have arisen from the inability of the consumer to se- cure his share of the supply. Unless enormously increased amounts have been consumed. the trouble must be laid to hoarding and it is very evident that large quantities are being held for future use both by housewives and commedcial concerns.
 During the past fifty years the com sumption of sugar in the United States has steadily increased. at an average an nual rate of one pound per year, until l in the last few years the averaeg yearly per capita consumption for all purposes | is between s5 and 90 pounds. This corI- pares with a per capita consumption of l 5S.9 pounds in 1899. The increased con l sumption of sugar by the soft dFirS. can | dy and ice-cream industries during re- ] cent years has helped raise the tota! av- l craze, but to what extent is not known
