Irish Republic in Sight.

II, as now seems probable, the
British Government has reached an
agreement with the people Of ireland
by which there is to be an Irish repub-
lie, it will be a cause of rejoicing all
over the world. Ulster is left out-nec-
cesarily SO. Ulster is not willing to go
in, and Ulster included against her
will would give to the Irish Republic
a problem even more difficult than that
which has disturbed Great Britain
while it included an unwilling Ireland
The doctrine Of self-determination is
the basis of Ireland's triumph, and it
will be the basis of other triumphs
because it is right. Self-determination
Is also the basis of listers exclusion,
and the lesson taught by the seeming
settlement of that centuries long
dispute will be an encouragement to
people everywhere who are held as
subjects against their will.
The world may yet become safe for
democracy. w. ]. BRYAN.

Deb's Pardon.

From Sundays Shreveport Cascasian.I
The realization that Eugene ". Debs
has been freed from the Atlanta, Ca,
penitentiary is not surprising. We may
never know the influence which led
President Harding to this act Of Glenn
ency, but In any sense presented, it is
not to his credit. Debs, a would-be
president, a candidate Of the Socialist
party, was convicted Of obstructing the
government in the prosecution of war
against Germany and indulging in Sc
ditiOuS speeches. He was assigned to
ten years Imprisonment. Debs' pardon
was submitted to President Wilson,
who waived it aside. His opposition
was characteristic. He said If he did.
he could never face the men who were
In France on duty for their country.
Debs was fortunate in the sense that
he escaped with comparatively a Eight
sentence. In Germany his offense
would have merited death. In France
he would have been sentenced to life
tservitude. In England he would have
been hanged or sentenced for life at
hard labor.
Considering the enormity of his
crime against the United States during
the war when our boys were in active
service, President Harding should have
been guided by the resolute course Of
President Wilson and let Debs serve
the term Of his sentence.
On his liberation from the pen
to-day, Eugene v. Dehs will be lionized
as hero by his friends and SYM
pathizers, while President Harding
will not escape the criticism Of all loyal
Americans, regardless of their politics.

The Battle Of KeIly's Ford, Va.

From the Confederate Vcteran.l
This article Is written only to
describe some incidents that came
under my personal observation during
one Of the fiercest cavalry fights wit
messed by me during the War between
the States. As q boy Of seventeen I
left the Virginia Military Institute,
and In December, 1862, Joined Com
pans G, Fourth Regiment Of Virginia
Cav;llry, Wickham's Brigade. We were
then in camp sotf the Rappahannock
River few miles above Fredericks-
burg. Va, the town In which my mother
lived during her girlhood. About the
LIST Of March, 1868. we moved our
camp to John Minor Bolts farm, near
culpeper Courthouse. Just about day
break on the morning Of March 18th
we were aroused by the sound Of the
bugle caIl, !. Boots and saddles! Each
regiment rapidly formed into line and
marched OF In the direction OF Kelly's
Ford, on the Rappahannock River.
The gray mist Of the morning had
given way to the crimson light Of the
rising sun. Gen. Averfll, IL command
of the Federal cavalry, had succeeded
in crossing the Rappahannock after
driving In our pickets OF the Fauquier
Black Horse Company. He had sew
eral thousand cavalry and few
pieces Of artillery, while Gen. Fitz Lee
hid only eight hundred troopers and
three pieces OF horse artillery. under
Maj. Pelham. We had passed Fleet
wood Hill and Stevensburg when the
gray columns Of Fitz Lee moved rap
Idly into line Of battle and threw out
sharpshooters all along the front.
Just then was ordered up from my
company to report to Maj. Morgan, Of
the First Virginia Regiment, who

Savings Certificates in Demand.

savings SCI2ihS0eCo III DCmAH0s
Departmental reader.l
Demand for the new issue Of Treas
ury Savings Certificates has far ex-
ceeded the expectations of the Savings
Division Of the Treasury Department.
W. Irving Glover, Third Assistant Post
master General, has announced that he
has received requests by telegraph and
mail from more than LOO first and
second-class offices calling for add
tional supplies of the Savings Certif-
icates of the three denomination OF
$25, 500 and $1,000.
:. Telegraphic orders have been re-
ceived," said Mr.. Glover, from six or
seven first-class postoffices for csrtif-
icates Of the $1,000 denominations to
the value Of 100000 for each Of the
Offices. The postmasters advise us that
their initial supplies We're disposed Of
the first day the certificates were
placed on sale"
The new certificates are issued on a
discount basis, and have been placed on
sale in the 500 first-class and $500
second-class offices. The selling prices
which have been announced are $40 for
the $25 certificate, $50 for the 500 and
$500 for the $1,000. The certificates
will mature in five years from date OF
sale, and If held to maturity yield
interest at the rate Of about AZ per
cent per annum, compounded semi.
annually. One Of the attractive fea-
lures is the fact that the certificates
can be redeemed at any time upon
presentation and surrender at the
Treasury Department, and in that
event yield interest at the rate of about
311s per cent per annum, compounded
seniannually. The limit of holdings
has been increased from $1,000 to $1,000
in a maturity value of certificates pur.
chased in any one calendar year.
The Postoffice Department announces
that the new issue of certificates will
he on sale in 1900 postoffices before
January 1, 1922. Postmasters through
out the country are most enthusiastic
over the new securities, Third Assist
ant Postmaster General Glover said,
and the Stamp Division, with its large
staff of clerks, is kept busy supplying
the demands for additional supplies OF
the certificates.

rHEODORE ROOSEVELT believed
i that when the nations life was at
stake Americanism should know no
party except the one which the word
implies, gathering into one party Of
all men when matters vital to the coun-
try are at issue.
The strength Of Roosevelt's words
shows how solemnly he regarded the
obligation Of every citizen of the
United States to be first an American
and something else afterward. In
times Of great national peril party lines
almost entirely disappear. as in the
war when the Republicans supported
the administration almost without
question. II the day should come
when they do not, the beginning Of
the end Is not far on.
Seemingly II Is so obvious q thing
that considerations Of country should
rise superior to those OF party that It
may seem almost useless to stress the
point. 1t il necessary, however. to
do so today because there are groups
in this country which, while they may
call themselves political parties, are
not truly such. Men recently, not In
great numbers. It IL true. but In large
enough groups to cause some appre-
hension. have been advocating theories
which II turned into actual conditions
would put false idealism above coun-
try.
It IL the endeavor OF these men to
paint on the canvas picture alluringiy
beautiful, but which ID q picture only.
Roughly speaking, It represents every
man as the follower Of his own in
clinations and desires without regard
to the welfare OF the members Of the
community as q body. It is picture
Of government without government
free-to-do-as-you-will sort OF por-
trayal which can appeal only to the
passions Of men.
When these painters turn preachers
and urge that their false ideas be &C.
certed, II might seem perhaps that they
would be dangerous only to the I'M.
thinking. The trouble Ii. however, that
many Of them buttress their pleas
with arguments which seemingly have
weight. II b for the stable minded to
offset with plain statements Of fact
the attempts Of the enemies Of good
government to destroy existing insti.
buttons.
