Cooperative State
Declared Plan of
Irish Republicans
British Leasing and Cattle
Raising Program Blamed
by Witnesses for 1lnpov-
erishnent Of the People

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The sys-
tenn of government which Irish repub-
lican leaders propose to set up in Ire
land was described as "an ideal CO.
operative commonwealth" by Laur-
cnce Ginnell, former Irish member of
British Parliament, in testimony to-
day before the commission of the Com
mittee OF One Hundred investigating
the Irish question.
Mr. Ginnell, who declined to appear
before the commission until he had
been assured that it would not "at-
tempt to 60 behind the present Irish
republic" in any Of its recommenda
tions, presented a rough draft of the
governmental system proposed by the
Irish republicans.
The ancient brehon laws, from which
many of the present day socialistic
doctrines are derived, Mr.. Ginnell said,
lands form Of government should the
efforts Of the republican leaders to
gain independence from Great Britain
prove successful. He told the COM
mittee he had written a book on So
cialism, obtaining his material from
these laws.
Favoritism IN Land Leases
Land in Ireland apportioned under
the British land act for tilling, he
said, had been leased to "favored cattle
raisers," necessitating migration at IN
tervals of large part Of the popula-
ton in some districts to England to
find work. The governmental system,
which the Irish republicans plan to
put into effect, he said, contemplates
"breaking up Of the large tracts Of
land in ireland, now used for grazing,
and distributing them in smaller par
cells to suitable persons to be tiled"
Mr.. Ginrell, as we'll as Miss huth
Russell, another witness, who last year
Investigated conditions in Ireland for
The Chicago Daily News, declared that
the religious issue in Ireland had been
"artifcially stimulated" and eHagger-
ated.
Miss Russell went extensively into
social, economic ana religious condi-
tons and endeavorcd to establish chat
mill owners in the Province of Ulster
had stirred up religious intolerance to
prevent organization Of their workers
This religious feeling has been sub
merged in unanimity of opinion "a

DARKNESS GIVES
AUDIENCE SCARE

Mddebury Town Hall was packed
to the limits of Standing room only"
last Friday night with an audience
which was enjoying the College Minis
trels when suddenly all of the lights
went out through some accident at the
power station. Both stage and audi
torium were in complete darkness. 1t
was only for four or five minutes, but
it was long enough to give the audi
ence something of scare. In the back
of the hall two or three men were fool
ishly lighting matches, and some one
in the audience made use of an electric
flash lamp, serving to some extent to
break the spell Fortunately the Man
dOlin Club which was playing a selec-
tion at the time, kept right on with its
snappy music and with a few excep-
tions everyone kept their seats.
Some young men, trying to get down
the gallery stairs, either Intentionally
or accidentally made a great clatter of
noise as though they had fallen whici.
added its touch to the excitement.
Many persons were really getting anX-
ious about their safety lest foolish
panic should start when the lights
came back as suddenly as they had
gone.

AN APPEAL FOR
FOREST PLANTING

District Forester Perry H. Merrill oil
Bristol wants to see real action this
spring toward reforestation, and sets
the quota of trees to be planted in Ad-
Olson County at the million mark. In
communication to The Register he
makes his appeal as follows:
with the great decrease in our tim
Der supply due to extensive and inten-
sive destructive numbering, fires and
insect and plant pests, it is about time
that we gave a willing ear to the call Of
reforestation before it is too late.
"Was there not a large amomunt of
timber left to this generation? (Per-
Aaps this was mishap due to in
ability to cut it all off, but neverthe-
less it was here Are we going to
leave our descendants without tim
ber supply? We are, unless each and
everv one who has idle land begins to
plant it soon.
There are 100000 acres of waste
land in the State of Vermont in need oil
artificial reforestation Vermont is
timberland country. OF the 6,0OO,0OU
acres in the State, fully 100000 acres
are typical forest land. If planting is
to be resorted to, it will take 4O,OOOOU
trees per year for % years to accom-
plish the task, which is not an impos-
sible undertaking, since over half OF
the needed work is quite evenly divided
among 25,OOO farms. If the owner OF
the average farm was to plant one acre
per year, the task would be accom-
plished in % years.
LET us strive to plant l,OOOOOO trees
in Addison County this Spring. We
have at the state Nursery limited sup
ply of spruce and pines These trees
are sold by the state for just what it
costs to grow them. Write or con
suit about your forestry needs and

at II o'clock the sap was running at
