10 the EDITOR, The washington Herald:
AS a reader of your paper, 1 want
to thank you for the impartial re-
ports you give on the Irish ques-
tion.
Some of your correspondents seem
to be under the impression that
the present trouble in Ireland is
due to religious differences.
Speaking before the General As
sembly of the Presbyterian. Church,
Belfast, in the early part OF June,
the Rev. w. =. Young, Galway, Ire
land, stated that in the half-county
of l6S miles that he had to travel
once a month, covering all West
Galway and Conemara, he had never
seen an armed Sim Feiner. 81 have
never,"k he added. "met with the
slightest discourtesy from any indI-
vidual in the matter of my worship.
| believe If there is any interfer-
ence anywhere it is not for reirg-
ious reasons.
Speaking on the same occasion,
the Rev. w. G. Strahan, Newry. pre-
senting the home missions report,
referred to the interruption of min
lsterial duty m the south and west
by road trenching and breaking
down of bridges, and to the military
warnings, in one case that long
Journey should not be undertaken.
tie complained that some of the
maRses had been cOmmandeered by
the military and police, whip turned
the buildings into barracks. De-
scribing a journey to Galway by
motor bicycle, he said he was in
debted to Sim Fein for rettin o.
him a quick passage along the
roads. Sim Fein was an author
ity in that district and had control
oyer motor vehicles.
The above extracts are taken
from the Northern Whig. a Union
ist paper, published in Belfast.

Defends Admiral Sims.
To the Editor, The Washington Herald:

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
1t is certainly a strange line of
reasoning that concluded that II we
do not agree with the Sim Feiners
we must be "pro-British rats" Have
We not a right to our opinion for or
against? Do the Sim Feiners as
pire to rule this country as well as
Ireland? 1t looks like it. ~
George A. Bamford writes The
Herald to say among other nasty
things. that Admiral Sims took the
hospitality of the Irish and then
tried to calumniate them. There are
thousands of Irish people who were
not "fnsulted" by Admiral NSims'
speech. but who were rejoiced that
he was brave enough to speak out
on the right side.r There are thou
sands Of Irish-Americans who are
not on the side Of the Sim Feiners
and who endorse every word of the
reported speech whether Admiral

Wants Vote for District.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
May say few words in favor of
suffrage in the District of Colum-
bia D Many of your readers favor
other good things, such as a fair
and decent treatment of former
service men. american recognition
of the Irish republic, a telegraph
office for Takoma Park, timely
notes on scientific matters. etc. 1
trust the same good Americans
sponsoring the above questions are
with me in demanding that the citi-
zens of the District of Columbia
have the right to vote. Personally l
feel that not until such suffrage is
granted will our country be truly
representative in its governmental
policies. OF course, reasons are
given as to why we people of Wash
ington should be tied. bound and
gagged, politically speaking. but
the reasons don't hold water.

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub

almost instantaneous. These little olive

The pleasant little tablets do the

They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teeth? Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. II Is best not to
