A LETTER FROM SWEDEN
DIR. G. r. Larson Writes EntertaInly
on Interparliamentarian Congress

Stockholm August 20. 1921
Friend Conlin:
The interparliamentarian congress
has met here during the past few
days and attended a couple of their
session and heard good old United
States" spoken. My thoughts natur
ally went back to my friends "over

been as interested spectator as

was more French spoken than any
other language. although there were

Walsh and Robinson were also dele
gates as well as a Mr. Slayden and
Mr.. Mccall, the editor OF the "Ad-
vocate OF Feace." The President OF
the Congress was Lord Weardale OF
England, although Barren Adelsward
OF Sweden presided at the same ses-
sions. The English Japanese and
American delegates spoke in English,
the rest mostly In French, and as my
French now is little rusty / could
barely follow the trend OF their
speeches. or course there were in
terpretors translating all speeches
and stenographers galore taking ev-
erything verbatim in every language,
so everybody there that was interest
ed could get the benefit of all the
wisdom dispensed.
The Congress works as an auxiliary
body to the League of Nations and /

accomplish at least little OF its grand

towards the end. In another month

RELIGION NOT AN ISSUE
DIR. Allen, Brooklyn Episcopal Clegy.
man, Spoke Entertalningly on
the Irish Question Saturday

Or. Albert w. Allen clergyman of
the Protestant Episcopal church, To-
Gated at Brooklyn. n. Y. addressed
the people OF Crystal Falls on the Irish
question last Saturday night at the
city hall DR.. Allen is a lineal decend-
ant OF Ethan Allen. the Revolutionary
hero and in espousing the cause OF
Irish freedom, does so because OF his
conviction that the Irish are In the
right
DR.. Allen declared that only English
propaganda made religion an issue.
adding that every armed uprising
and nearly every home rule attempt
was led and fostered by non-Catholics.
DR.. Allen spoke under the auspices
OF the local branch OF the American
Association for Recognition of the
Irish Republic.
DR.. Allen said In part;
us Irish independence a Roman
Catholic movement? We deem II inn
possible to deceive an American OF any
creed into believing that any religious
motive Is back In Ireland's cause. The
Revolutionary war was not Catholic
rising. the Boer war. the rebellions in
India. Egypt and Persia, were never
melted by Roman Catholics. There Is
less evidence to show that the battle
for freedom In ireland Is a Roman
Catholic conspiracy against England
because nearly every armed rising and
the home rule movements were plan
ned and executed by Frotestants. The
Irish cause in this one triumph: The
struggle for $50 years OF Irish nation
allsm against British naval imperial
ism.
What is the cause OF Irish inde-
pendence? First OF all Il is racial
cause. The Irish people are OF the
Celtic race, different race from the
Anglo Saxon or the Ancient Briton.
For a thousand years Ireland was a
great and powerful group OF nations
ruled by their own kings. Irish schol-
ars we're at the court for Charlemage
about the year OF 500. They preserved
the Greek learning at the time when
Europe was in darkness after the fall
OF the roman empire They founded
great universities and schools In Ire
land and Europe when the whole. west
ern world was in DARKNESS OF heathen-
ism and druidism. Irish ministers
carried the gospel through the world
Irish lawyers established the system
OF common law Jurisprudence by which
the Anglo Saxon nations are govern
ed. The English common law is trac-
ed back through Alfred's code TO the
Briton laws, which established trial
by jury. a public assembly to enact
laws IN as democratic a spirit as a
New England town meeting; hey
also had a system OF communal land
ownership by which no one could hold
more than 500 acres. The kings Office
was elective and not hereditary. The
foundations OF Irelands glory were

THE SIN OF BOARDING

There are In many communities
men who are SHINING against them
selves and their fellows by keeping
from 5000 to $4,000 around the house
they are laboring under the impress
ion that things are going TO get worse
until the final crash comes and that
then they will be at a peculiar advan-
tage because they have a stock OF
hard cash on hand" The point is that
cash kept around the house is dead
money. Cash deposited in the bank
is live money. A dollar OF cash depos-
ited In the bank serves as q source of
from $5 TO $40 OF credit. The man who
keeps $1,000 around the house is. I'm
effect preventing five to ten other
men from borrowing 1000 each from
the bank. We suspect that there is at
least $4,000 In the state OF Iowa
being kept out OF circulation by timid
hoarders. This s5,0O0.000. II 1t were
put In the bank. would serve as a
source of from s25,0O0.00o TO $50. 900
900 of credit and would 60 a long way
toward relieving the present critical
situation.
Never keep more than $50 in cash
around the house. and IL you can get
along with as little as $40. by all
means do so. II you have large guam
titles of money on hand there is al
ways danger OF dosing 1t by robbery
and fire. But the biggest reason why
all surplus money should find its way
into the bank as promptly as possi-
bile Is that the banks are credit factr-
ies. and the raw material is hard cash.
Remember that the bank makes out OF
every dollar OF cash which you deposit
from IS to 800 worth OF credit. We
are satisfied that IL one-half of
the money which at present is being
boarded in the United States were de-
posted with the banks that credit
could be increased 10 such AN extent
that prices would rise from to 10
per cent. The man who keeps his mon
ey about the house is helping TO hold
prices down.-Wallace's Farmer.

I'm the second place the cause OF
Irish independence Is an economic
question. The land is rich IN mineral
deposits. pottery clay. glass sand, coal
iron, peat and other products which
have not been developed on any scale
OF production. Does Ireland enjoy the
right OF her native labor to strike the
soil and draw from the ground its hid
den products OF wealth? No. she has
not. And this is a very serious part OF
her oppression. For 230 years Eng
land has destroyed every industry in
the south and by system OF bounties

ranny and broken pledges!
Accusing Ireland OF plotting seces-
SION from the British empire has no
standing In court, because Ireland
never became a part Of England by
her own free will. England has no
more right to Ireland than Germany
has to Belgium. The right of conquest
is England's barbaric title to crush
the Celtic race"

Division OF the G & N w an injustice
when we said 1t was "a pet hobby" of
Mr.. Helmer's. Nearly two years ago
we were approached by Helmer with
this identical proposition and the fact
that II was not put into effect then
was simply that the company feared
opposition in Crystal Falls.
The service that Is given Crystal
Falls by the North Western is just
about as rotten as II can be made.
The connection with No. 121 is simply
abominable. Had the Northwestern
seen Fit TO make this connection a
passenger train there wouldn't be the
kick that there Is. The only reason
that the people OF Crystal Falls are
not following the example OF Marin
ette, where a concerted effort TO give
business to the road that gives some
attention TO the comfort and convent
ence OF the people of the locality II
serves, is that the ST. Paul has been
wising up to the necessity for adequ-
ate service and has been giving II for

FILTH SEWERS

The way the newspapers OF the pre-
sent age are prostituting themselves
for popularity and the almighty dollar
ds enough TO cause the bones of Ben
famine Franklin to jump from the
grave and haunt every person who is
In any degree responsible. Just think
OF the delectable reading that isn't fit
even for the inmates OF brothels that
has been handed out TO the American
public during the past few months.
There's the Stillman case that dragged
It's nauseating way through the news
papers for weeks and months: and
then the Clara Hamon case and the
Peggy Joyce and the Thorne case and
now, almost one week. we have
dumped on us In one foul mess the
Mrs. Obenchain-Burch case, the Fat
~" Arbuckle-Rappe case and all the
horrible details, real and imagined. in
connection with that double murder
down in Chicago.
And all the putrid mess OF sewage
filth that IS run through the daily
press is called news. Lord protect
the name!
Even the Worlds greatest news
paper" has become one OF the greatest
offenders against newspaper decency.
A few days ago that newspaper carri-
ed about five pages OF sensational de-
tail and filth in connection with the
obenchain-Burchc case and the double
murder at Chicago.
The federal Constitution guarantees
free press but there Is nothing In
that Constitution which guarantees
protecting TO so-called newspapers
when they degenerate into dissemin-
tors OF putrid NTH. sensational scand-
al. and ali the shocking and horrible
details OF murder. burglaries. etc.
We have come to believe that the
newspapers OF America are either di-
rectly or Indirectly responsible for at
least seventy-five per cent OF the crime
because OF the sensational featuring
OF crime news when II isn't news al
all. but on the contrary is a disgusting
catering 20 the morbid curiosity OF
people who havn't brains enough 70
digest clean. wholesome. substantial
reading. and who greedily roll on their
tongues as sweetest morsels disgust
ing details OF sex crimes OF one kind
and another. All OF this kind Of strfi
carries It's suggestion TO the shallow
pated people who feed on IL.
We havnt any patience with the
nonsence Of so-calied Christian
Science cult. but there is one thing
Tor which Christian Science can be
given credit. and that is the publicat-
tIon or the cieanest daily newspaper
in the United States. We FIRMLY be-
sieve that n the newspapers OF the
world would resolutely pattern efter
the christian Science Monitor" the
reduction IN crime within ten years
would be 90 great as 10 constitute the
miracle OF the Twentieth century.
The connections between the press
and crime is a subject TO which psy-
chologists and statesmen might well
give their attention.--EScANABA
