Opening Debate
BY the Associated Press.

London, Dec. I3.-ln a scene
which is likely to prove a land :
mark in England history, the Irish
treaty was today presented In the
imperial Parliament for ratifica-
ton, while the Dali Eireann at
Dublin INDUCED in heated debate,
turning on Eamon De Valera s
charge that the Irish puenipotenti-
aries exceeded their powers in sign
ing the treaty without further ref
erence to Dublin.
Neither the Commons nor the
Dali Eireann, however, has yet
come to grips on the actual deci-
sion respecting ratification, which
has been postponed until tomor-
row.
A feature Of the debates IN
Westminster was bitter attack on
the government by Lord Curzon in
the House Of Lords and Capt.
Charles Craig. Irish Unionist, in the
House Of Commons. Lord Curzon
especially showed not the slight
est diminution in his old-trme de-
nunciation of any accommodation
with Nationalist Ireland. He dar-
ed the government to do anything
to stir Ulster against the empire,
and exclaimed:
Because Ulster is loyal, you
think you can kick her as you
like
81 promise YOU" he continued.
that she will keep out of this
agreement. You have tried to make
her position impossible. I believe
YOU told the Sim Fein delegates to
do so. Why has the Sim Fein IN
this treaty been given an army. 1t
not to invade Ulster? Was 1t to
invade America. or the channel
islands?"
The tone Of his whole speech was
one of unrelenting hostility to a
settlement.
Premier Lloyd Georges speech
in the Commons was less Of an ora
torical display in defense of the
treaty. which had been expected,
than a careful exposition Of the
agreement ano its implications.
with a view TO putting the house IN

Knox County is no worse than II
ever was-we are getting too much
metropolitan newspaper publicity.
These papers publish under big head
lines a small quarrel and call it
"feud." AT the same time more dis
turbing crimes within their own bor-
ders are put in an inch of space on
the thirteenth page. We are not
worse, just noticing, which to me Is
evidence we are getting better and
noteiworse. This was the quietest

Elect proper officers instead of crl-
ticizing.
II. II. Owens Every citizen In
Knox County knows there are those
within our borders who are deter
mined to make their living by law
breaking. The League stands back
OF law enforcement.
Judge Stamper 1t is useless to
try to blind ourselves to- the faults,
defects and failures in our County
by saying we are as good as we ever
were and indulging in self approval.
II is fact that there are more MUIR
dcru on our present docket than for
twenty years past. Officers are not
the embodiment Of the law--thc pco-
pie 1ru law and It's executive. The
principle of justice is born in every
heart longing for Il chance for cN-
prcssiOn. Lawyers who pro,Oug the
trial of criminals by tcchnicalitics
hIyc juiEed the criminal class. The
lawyer should see that his client gets
the benefit of the law but should not
seek to prolong or postpone trial on
technicalities. Watch the courts,
watch the lawyers, watch yourself.
Law and civilization are founded in
religion and education.
Robert Goodman:-We seek to
unite the forces of good citizenship
and the first step is to stamp out
liquor and its traffic. Men have al

ENTHUSIASTIC MISS MEETING
AT COURT HOUSE MONDAY

AT COURT HOUSE MONDAA
On Monday morning the Court
room was filed 10 oyeruowing it be-
ing the FIRST day oE the August term
of Circuit Court and the citizens had
been asked to meet en- masse by the
Law and order League.
Judge r. s. Rose called the meet
ing to order ana then turned II over
to Dr.. f. r Franklin, president Of
the League, who stated its policy,
pointing out very omphutically that
Il is in no way concerned with poll
tics or candidates, fer elections will
come and go, but principles must
stand and It Ia tho intention of this
organization to uphold the man and
officer who in turn IS uphOlding the
best that his office stands for. He
then said that Cne thing has already
been accomplished, namely, that any
and all men Of our county now stand
ready to do jury service whether
merchant, banker preacher or busi-
ness man.
The following mon were called on
to make five minute talks, which
usually went over tho limit hut no
one seemed to object
Capt. B. B. Golden, now a resident
of Bell County and successful can
didatc for the nomination for Com
monwealth's Attorney OF that dis
trict, but whose heart is still in Knox
County, said in substance:-Nou
have the country you make-as you
are SO is your country. a jury is
as good as the weakest man in the
twelve. The only complete remedy
for existing evils is the religion OF
Jesus Christ and next is good citi-
zenship. You will have just as much
law enforcement as you have good
citizenship.
Gov. James D. Black:-He stated
that he at one time had been a poll
tical partisan but now his desire is
to lay down political partisanship
and be numbered with good citizen
ship. The League is to assist the
officer. The man who violates law
assaults society which has a right
to self defense Things we value
get that value only thru law-home
country, life. Law breakers should
be brought to q speedy and fair trial
The reasonable doubt" clause
should be stricken from Kentucky's
criminal code and such cases tried
on the evidence just as civil case.
The criminal element will have its
back broken Ey the citizenship. Let
each one stand back Of the officers.
Judge Tuggle:-- is useless to
undertake to promulgate a senti-
ment for law and order. This senti-
ment ought to be in the breast of
each and every citizen. There are
two points 10 be established in order
that law shall prevail:G The law
