PEACE VIRTUALLY ASSURED

De Valera, leader of the Irish republicans,
has shown good deal Of sagacity in conducting
negotiations with Great Britain. He has so
Unanswered it as 10 make the whole discussion rest
upon the principle of consent Of the governed. "
lrelands claims can not be denied without denying
that principle; and that principle not be denied
without repudiatng all the claims made by Great
Britain and the ether allies in the late war. To
refuse Irelands right to liberty either independ-
emily or in the form of British self-governing
dominion, would be to justify the German invasion
Of Belgium.
It is Ike power that resides in the abstract prin-
ciple which affords the real guarantee of peace
ful settlement Lloyd George can not resist it.
And having committed the empire to concede the
dominion status 10 Ireland, there can be no stop
rng short Of such complete concession as will
put Ireland alongside of Canada, Australia South
Africa and New Zealand as an independent state
with complete self-determnation in all matters of
local concern
That England will benefit as much as Ireland
in the long run, by this change ought to be self
evident. II will convert an enemy into friend
1t will make genuine ally out of Ireland. chang
ing the weakest spot in the British defensive line
into impregnabe fortress.
Having carried the discussion to the present
point, it is inconceivabe that there can be a re-
traction; hence, although much remains to do, we
believe ii is about time to congratulate both Eng
land and Ireland upon the certain prospects of
satisfactory settlement.

THE PRICE OF REAL ESTATE
Gainesville Sum-

Gainesville Sum-
Roger Babson, the well-known statistician is
sues the prediction that there will be return OF
good times next spring, and that one of the pre-
liminaries to such revival must be a decline in
real estate values.
The people of Florida who hold land and
houses for sale at high prices are obstructng the
return of prosperity. Lower priced houses and
farm lands must help the cost of living to come
down, and thus improve the purchasing power of
the people, which will assist to start up many
idle factories Those who hold property for high
prices should remember how many folks have
suffered heavy losses as the result of standing
out too long. The psychological moment for lgi
valuations passed a year ago

HUMANE SOCIETY OR PENITENTIARY?
(Orlando Morning SENTINEL

When a criminal is sentenced to the penten-
tary or state convict camp or thrown into 4
county city Jail the people have the right to
demand that every precaution be exercised on
the part of guards and officials that the person
incarcerated shall pay the penalty; and not only
pay the penalty but the public must be protected
from the smenace of dangerous and destructive
fellow men who have been convicted of murder
larceny other serious and grave offenses.
The following news story appears in this weeks
issue of the Holmes County Advertiser, published
at Bombay, Fla:
1.-TWO convicts, both white, made their escape
from the state road camp at Westville last Fri
day, and, although every effort has been made
by prison guards and Sheriff Johnson and depu-
ties to recapture them their efforts have failed.
The prisoners were reported to have crossed the
river and seen north of Bombay, but after
Sheriff Johnson had made a diligent search of the
territory he reported that they nowhere to
be found. Mr.. Horne of the state road crew,
said last night the still at large.
One of the 10 escape was a young man
named Bryant, who sent up for life for the
murder of his father Orlando few months
ago. 1t not possible to learn the name of
the other runaway, but lie had served only
short time of a four-year sentence"
Two convicts escaped. Until captured the pub
lie is their prey. But these two not the only
at large. Luther Wilson, a white man. has
also escaped from the state camp and has been
at liberty for nearly year. Wilson was tried
for the murder of Deputy Wilcox, of Lake county
Bryant tried for the murder of his father
in Orange county, and duly sentenced The
third convict was up for four years.
These occurrences give rise to unpleasant qucs-
tions which should be carried to Hon. W. A. Nc
Rae, commissioner of agriculture, who has gem
eral supervision over state convicts Is the state
prison department functioning? Is it protecting
the lives and properties of the people? Why have
so many criminals been allowed to escape since
the lease system has been abolished? Is the
department conducting humane society instead
of a penitentiary?
Laws are being administered sentences are
pronounced, but the enforcement of the edicts
Of the courts is seemingly lax and weak and
such events as those recited give cause for mob
violence.

In his "Brcmide" column in the St. Augustine
Evening Record the celebrated Herb Fekel says
that the law keeping ours and Harry Brown S
chickens in their own back yard is all right but
how about law to stop the male feathered birds
from Dragging about said premises about 5 a. M
when sleep passes the ordinary rest period and be-
comes undiluted joy?" There are three remedies
for this situation: The first and most practical
is to decapitate all birds of the male persuasion,
with or without feathers. The second is to so
train and bring up your birds that innate modesy
will prevent them from Growing over their less for
tunate neighbors. The third is to keep your prem
ises in such condition that there will be no excuse
fer Dragging. You can take your choice.

The League members, dsregardng the decision
of this country to stay out have sought to so
maneuvre as to inveigle America in. The result
has been exactly what the South African member
complains of. When the league takes step
which affects American rights, this country insists
upon a voice, Eot as a league member, which
might be outvced by other members, but as an
independent nation whose consent is necessary to
any action. And every member of the League
understands that America can not be ignored
Instead of lessening its authority by staying out
this country has, in fact made itself bigger factor
in world affairs than if it had joined AT the
same time cumbersome and highly unsatisfactory
method of determining International questions has
been created, and one which can not last. Unless
iarding's association of nations materiazes as
a result of the disarmament conference, the world
is likely to be back upon its old basis of alliances
and balances of power before many more seasons
pass.

Daily Poem
ROADS

CHenry Bellamann in The Measurel
There are roads through the trees that
the birds know.
Roads through the high trees
All the day the red and blue and green
streaks
Travel the roads on the grave affairs
of birds;
Gay wings in the sun
And strange white wings in the
dark
Toward love and death.
There are roads in the sea that the
fish know.
And all the years long the light quiv-
er of fish
Speeds through the roads of the sea,
Speeds the stern business OF fish
Life and the business of life, and
death.
There are roads through the peak;
1 that the winds know
Roads through the stars that the
world knows,
And my thoughts have roads
Where only my thoughts may go
Under the trembling sea,
And out through the sagging net of
the stars.
Through the broken net Of the stars
My thoughts go out, like the birds,
And the winds and the quivering fish.
Toward love and death.
