proposed that that minority should
be permitted to use firearms with
impunity against our people resi-

Berlin, Sept. 5 (By the Associat-

is to be appointed ambassador to
Germany. The report was printed

The Cause Of Crime
Judge Sease Talks Plainly and
Fearlessly to Spartanburg
Grand Jury

Spartan burg, Sept. 6.-Judge T.
S. Sease Of the circuit bench hold
ing a special session Of the court
of general sessions here today took
occasion in addressing the grand
jury to say that responsibility for
much of the crime in this state is
due to the petit juries.
Judge Sease said he did not pre-
tend to say that the petit juries are
dishonest, but that their action is
due to lack of intelligence to prop
erly weigh the matter. While the
fault is with the petit jury, the
fault for it's lack of intelligence lies
with the state of South Carolina,
which for 800 years has failed to
provide an adequate compulsory
education law. 1t was not until the
last few years that anything has
been done to force the voter and
the juror to become educated. The
state owes it to herself to put a tax
sufficient on the real and personal
property to defray the expense Of
educating the voters. The crime
wave, Judge Sease went on to say,
is not an aftermath Of the great
world war, but is Que to the fail
ure Of the petit jury to convict
criminals regardless Of their social
standing, whether great or small.
Justice is said to be blind to the
standing of the criminal. The OBJ
ject of the law is to punish the
criminal and to deter others from
crime. The juror should consider
it matter of personal safety to
bring a true verdict, for he does
not know at what time his life or
property will be at stake because
of the failure of jur1es to do their
duty.
For years, Judge Sease said, he
has advocated compulsory edu-
cation law with teeth. No man
has a right to let his boy grow up
in ignorance when the state stands
ready to pay for an education for
that boy in order to make him an
intelligent voter, and to keep him
from being a criminal. Individual
cases can be selected where an ed
ucated man has become criminal,
but that is seldom the case.

Plunkett Opposes
De Valera
Leader of Industrial Ireland
Sees Peace Proposal in Diff
ferent Light

Dublin. Sept. (By the Asso-
ciated Press) Activity is appar-
ent in moderate Irish circles to pre-
vent a rupture of negotiations and
the rejection of the terms until the
precise significance Of P e m e
Lloyd Georges offer is definitely
ascertained.
Sir Horace Plunkett, who was
chairman of the Dublin convention
and Captain Harrison, chairman Of
the Dominion league, today ad-
dressed a joint letter to Eamonn de
Valera and the members Of his
cabinet. In -ile letter they say:
ireland would be i'll advised not
to accept dominion status, If it ap-
plies-and we believe it must-full
legislative and elective and eco
nomic independence, and imperial
relationship, functioning as to pol
icy and action by cooperation
founded on mutual agreement ar
rived at by consent and carrying
with it direct representations in the
imperial conference and the
league of nations.
'.It would reasonably follow that
true acceptance by solemn treaty
of dominion status by Ireland
would be accomplished by extern
sion of concurrent agreements to
regulate cooperation between Ire
land and other units of the empire
in all necessary matters"
They proceed to argue that the
prime minister offered dominion
status in express terms subject to
six conditions, which appeared to
indicate that there were questions
that might be adjusted by agree
ment. They voice the belief that
Mr.. De Valera must have some spe-
cial information reserved from his
conferences with Mr.. Lloyd George
and they invite him to take the
public into his confidence.
They clearly show they believe
that on the document made public
dominion status for Ireland can be
obtained and are anxious to know
the grounds for Mr.. De Valera's s
contrary opinion.
