The Irish Republic Recognition as
ISOLATION at its regular meeting Sun
day afternoon at Industrial hall, this
city, unanimously adopted the follow
ing resolution on the statement of
one Mrs. Wilbur Mason before Civic
Wonan's club of this city last Thurs
day.
Resolved, By the ladies and gentle
men of the American association for
the recognition of the Irish Republic
in regular meeting assembled, that
the published statement of one Mrs.
Wilbur Mason, who claimed to be
native Irishwoman Cd if true 90
proves that there are still alien de-
scendents of the Cromwellian Will
| liams and Hohenzollerns, who were
sent to ireland to occupy the land
stolen from the Irish people by Eng
land under Cromwell, as her false
statements prove conclusively her
ignorance of the truth and her will
full misrepresentation of the condi-
tions in the fiendish savagery of Lloyd
George for British royalty by their
dictatorial military domination thru
out all Ireland; therefore, be 1t
further,
Resolved. That we refute and con-
denim the pro-British misrepresenta-
tions of Mrs. Mason as designedly
NfalSe in the fact that "Sinn Feinism'
of Ireland; less than nine per cent
of the people uphold British domi-
nation. This is more united than any
other part Of the world is on any
question The British minority in
Ireland and in England, Scotland and
Wales that represent the scions of
dynastic royalty are not only "un-
fair" as royalty always are, but they
are brutally so, and again there are
no two sides to the Irish question
1t is liberty to govern themselves,
independent of any eoreign domlna-
ton as our forefathers VIGOROUSLY
fought for in the Revolutionary war
under our Declaration of Independ-
ence, and as our fahers fought for
against this same British military
power in 1912 and that we fought for
against Great Britain supporting the
Confederacy in 1861 to 1865. that the
Irish people want. 1t is either that
or the destruction of Ireland's liberty
and independence and humiliation of
the people of Ireland, for which Mrs. |
Mason stands with inherent bigotry,
regardless of the numbering of the
people of Ireland by the BLACK and
Tan military outlaws who assassin
ate, murder and torture men. women
and little children or drive them into
the fields, hills and mountains with
out food or raiment or shelter, to
starve and die without pity, sympa-
4hy or human feelings, as proven by
the British Commission of Investiga-
ton from the churches and labor or
CARNATIONS of England and Scotland
and by our American commission as
shown by Senator Robert A. LaFollette
in unanswerable eloquence before
the United States senate, pleading for
the recognition of the Irish Republic.
We further declare that Mrs. Mason
is not Irish in any sense and dis
graces the fair name of Ireland by
claiming to be- She is British and a

George, and be it further,
Resolved, That we declare 1t a dis

Kansas have ever prided ourselves,
for any society on Kansas soil to en-
terrain and listen to such a wicked
emissary of British royalty as Mrs.
Mason to parade her ignorance and
her bigoted. slanderous Inisrepre-
sensations of truth and honor of the
chivalrous. accomplished and highly
civilized Christian people struggling
for right, liberty, truth and self-de-
pendence. Some people who praise
truth invite lying to be their guest"
"A little truth makes a great lie"
Better to suffer for truth than pros
per by falsehood.'' Mrs. Mason should
learn the truth and speak it and it
will make her free before Almighty
God. The Archbishop of Canterbury
