An Average Tnhabifdnt

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The statements of the Rev. Harry
L. Bowlby, secretary of the Lords Day
Alliance, printed on the front page of
the November 25 Tribune, are sad-sad
and sorry. Mr. Bowlby hopes, among
other reforms, to put a stop to, or at
least curtail, the Sunday JOY ride "Lim-
ting pleasure riding on Sundays" he
says, will tend to conserve a needed
product like gasoline, and it will also
cut down the appalling number of acci-
dents. Most important OF all, it will
turn the thoughts of people to moral
themes on Sunday" Does not Mr..
Bowlby know that you can lead horse
to water, but you cant make him
drink?
ask you, sir, to picture to yourself
an average inhabitant of a New York
apartment. 1t is bright and shining
Sunday morning. He PAGES his cell ner-
vously and rapidly He knows there is
little tin lizzie eating her head off in
the garage around the corner He knows
that she wants an airing, and he knows
that he wants one, too. But there is Mr..
Bowlby and the Sunday laws. What TO
do? Does the mind of this creature turn
to uplifting thoughts and moral themes ?
Does it, ask you?
Mr.. Bowlby says that the joy-riding-

Greater Irelandl

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In The Tribune of yesterday
Monsignor Lavclle, in his sermon on
Sunday at st. Patrick's Cathedral, is
quoted as having said in part: Let
us pray for the Star Spangled Banner,
the emblem of our country, that might
we'll be called the Greater Ireland" "
lndeedl Truly remarkable statement
TO emanate from one Of such ecclesias-
teal standing! Is it surprising that,
after hearing such hyphenism preached,
a congregation should act upon it, leave
the House Of God and tramplc upon
the liberties of all but the Irish?

The End and the Means

What is the essence of the de-
lenses made for the Dublin muir
ders? Reduced to simplest terms
they amount to an open OF applied
assertion that the end justifies the
means-that the Sim Fein organi-
zation, to further independence for
Ireland, may do anything.
This sinister doctrine, associated
with the name of Machiavclli and
ages of savagery and hate. wss sup
posed few years ago to have been
crowded back to the pit whence it
came. Then Germany revived it.
German professors, even Of the
theological faculties, argued that in
the condition in which she found
herself Germany was absolved from
I'll mandates of morality.
1t next prominently appeared in
Russia-became and still is the
groundwork of Bolshevist politics.
To advance a pretended interna-
tionalism it is proclaimed that lying,
breaches OF faith, murder, torture
and every crime of cruelty and craft
are not only permissible but posi-
lively virtuous.
The maxim that the end justifies
the means has since become through
out the world favorite one Of radi-
Gals. Under thin disguises it is
preached th4t an act must be Judged
in connection with the motive be-
hind it. When n bomb explodes or
there is an assassination many who
call themselves pacidsts busy them
selves in advertising that it was ex-
acty what was to be expected-that
the real fault is with those charged
with provoking the crime or atrocity.
Ireland, like other parts of the
world, became infected with the doc
trine even before the war It's de-
votees are naturally the members of
the Sim Fein. The origins of this
sect are known to every Irishman
It's founders complained not merely
of the union of Ireland with Great
Britain, but of all existing social
institutions. They We're against the
Church almost as much as against
the State. They promoted in many
directions anarchical ideas. Of
course, some Of the original Sim
Feiners were not as "advanced' as
others, but all boasted Of their
liberalism" Dublin bbc1 their
theater, and New Z'orn remembers
how on one occasion the battle was
eonspicuousy transferred TO our
shores.
Later the Sim Fem changed its
character, became political and re-
vived Fenisnism, but in its first
state its affinities were with those
who regarded morality as super
stition and repudated it's conven-
tional laws So its leaders did not
need to rehearse when they set out te
convince the Irish people that mur
der, after all might be a merit
that there was no real difference be
tween openly enforcing the laws O,
an established government and en-
forcing the DEGREES of secre
tribunal.
The Sim Fem idea is contrary t
the tenor Of Irish history 1t i
fundamentally ant-religious. For
time it has been able to fool a con
siderable section of the Irish people
but the day Of supremacy will 500
pass. 1t is not in the Irish char
acter to approve Of d warfar
wherein bands Of assassins tea

Von Rintelen
Thoughts Upon Presidential Pardons
and War Mahne in General

ana w ar 1NdPiH9 IN GcnefGi
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t seems an outrage that the
patriotic citizens and members Of the
A. E. F. should be constantly reminded
that the conscientious objector. Stacker
and draft cvadcr, not to mention the
Reds and German criminals. should be
so we'll treated by the present Admin
.stration.
Just after the armistico Secretary
Baker pardoned 1873 conscientious OBJ
iectors, and now the last lot IS par
doned. From their standpoint, they
have gained ever. thing they set out to
gain. What are two years in prison
for such men, when one considers that
they have saved their precious hides
Let every community emulste the
example Of the town in Kansas which
told the discharged obiector that
there was no place in his home town
for him.
Let US have the spirit that the man
who will not fight for his country IS
not fit to live in it For why should
he get all the benefits Of living in this
glorious country and expect some one
else to defend It for him?
The draft law exempted from strictly
military service members Of rel
gious sects with conscientious scruples
against war" but this did not mean
that they could not be used in other
branches Of the service. a great many
men did accept non-combatsnt service
and did gooi work; but the ones who
are now pardoned are those VINO abso-
lutely refused to wear uniform and
were principally towards willing 80
risk a year or two in jail, but afraid
to risk their lives. They should not
be citizens Of this country.
Now, this morning, see the Presi-
dent has pardoned the German crimi-
nal Won Rintelen and mas exacted
bond Of s. 900 from him to leave the
country before January T. Why not
slap him on the wrist and tel him to
be good It will be about as effective.
The editorial on this man IN to-day's
Tribune is fine and could not be IN
proved upon.
All hail to The Tribune Keep Up
the good work and make Mr. Baker tell

ceived orders, Bergdol would have

All this makes good reading for the

the members of the A. /. +. have
registered their feelings IN part ~
that overwhelming majority for Mr.
Harding recorded on Election Day
Let us all hope that INC future from now

On Thursdaw afternoon, the little
folks of the age for real enjoyment
were entertained on the Griffin Hill
home of Mr.. and Mrs. j. G. Holland,
when little Virginia was hostess at a
lovely Halloween party.
The hall was darkened and grue-
some ghosts and witches appeared as
they always do at Halloween time.
The children were mystified at the
unusual happenings, but were charm
ed as we'll.
About forty little folks were in
vited, and the home was filled with
merriment and childish glee.
When they were invited to the ta-
BILE, then the real happiness began;
Ice cream and cake were served
amidst witches, owls, bats, black
cats and ghosts in profusion. The
souvenirs also were made OF these
wierd creatures. None of these things
took away the appetites of the little
guests, but rather encouraged them
to partake of the lovely refreshments
served them, and every one went
home as happy as bird.

From a political standpoint, Geor-
gia may have been compared te~sa
intermittent Volcano in the past. For
a time thingS.-Tspdid GO we'll and sud-
as4.y~s Something unexpected, and
equally discreditable, would break
loose. The men have made a miser-
able job of running governmental
affairs in Georgia from the lowest
Office up to that of the United States
senatorship, and vice versa. But it
seems, and let US hope that the signs
of the times point correctly, that a
new day has dawned in Georgia, po-
litically. The women have come upon
the scene and are going to make
themselves felt as factor for gen.
eral uplift..
In yesterdays election woman
was chosen tax collector of Columbia
county, Georgia, for the next four
years, which indicates that Georgians
are taking favorably to the new dis
pensation. Not only will the women
of Georgia make themselves felt for
better state and county government
but, mark our prediction, as soon as
the intelligent Christian womanhood
of Savannah is aroused and asserts
itself, as it surely will in time, what
it known as wide-open Savannah will
be closed up. Christian womanhood
stands for law and order everywhere
and those who want to see things run
in lax, Indifferent way want to see
women keep hands off. But the cleo
tion of a woman as tax collector in
Columbia county indicates that they
will not be hands off. Mark you, too,
that she was evidently elected by the
ballots of men, for this early in the
new order of things enough women
had not registered to be a very con-
siderable factor in carrying an cleo
tion.

not made a better State and also
watch and see if some of the Georgia
cities are not made a more fit place
to live in by having Christian woman
