IRISH QUESTION
TALKED At THEATRE

The Irish situation was discussed
at the American theatre last night by
Rev. ]. w. Meehan, a native of Mayo
Ireland, who arrived in this country
last December and who has been lee
turing In the east since his arrival.
He explained the situation as he
saw it, citing different instances of
cruelty on the part of British guards
stationed in Ireland, stating that their
reason for wanting to be free was
that their nation was one of the three
Oldest in Asia to retain its personali-
ties, and that Ireland was the only
English speaking white race not hav-
ing self-government. He stated that
for seven centuries they had been
fighting for their liberty and that this
fight is to be fight to the finish
that If they do not gain their liberty
this time they will cease to exist as
a nation, citing the case of Lord
Mayor McSweeney as an example of
the way the people as a nation feel.
He says that the Irish republic has
come to stay and that Great Britain
will soon begin to realize that it is
reality.
Rev. Meehan said the Irishmen are
asking nothing Of other nations except
moral support, and he pointed out
that America especially should give
this. since her case was a similar one
when we became independent of Eng
land. and that our attitude In the
late war was protection of smaller
nations and governments.

DESTROYING SIGNS

Complaint Is being made from every
section of the state of the wanton de-
struction of road signs. AS there Is a
law against such practice the different
commercial clubs throughout the state
will endeavor to round up some of the
petty malefactors. The road signs are
as important as the highways and
should be as well taken care of.-Car-
son Appeal.

Editor, The Silver State: Having
read the statement of Councilman
Akin in your last issue and the almost
frenzied denial signed by several OF
our prominent merchants as it ap.
peared In the Star of last evening.
am moved to ask: What Is all this
fuss about? I will confess that am
a novice in this political game, but nc
one with the slightest knowledge oil
politics should be surprised at the ac-
tion of Western Pacific officials In re-
questing Councilman Atkins re3igna-
ton. There are undoubtedly many
officials in this company that are not
in favor of law enforcement. There
may be some question as to whether
or not this action was the result OF
the activities of one or more of ouf
merchants, but the hate and animus
shown in last nights Star and ap
parently directed at your paper as
well as Councilman Akin, would in
dictate that such Is the case. A wei
written, manly statement might have
carried some weight As to the
numerous signatures-IF any Of ou
merchants were low enough to try t.
secure Atkins discharge by the West
ern Pacific, the little matter of at
taching their names to a statement o.
that kind would be expected. Other
not involved would also sign, so how
much more enlightened are We thar
we were before?
Now just a few more questions
which l hope will be answered in ar
early issue of your paper. What h
the meaning of these mysterious state
ments I hear about hurting the
town." and they are "going too far. p"
Does It hurt any town to have a set
of officers that are trying to enforce
the laws as written on our statute
books? Is The Silver State going to
far" when 1t brings to light conditions
known to exist? If these things huri
business, it might be well for SOM
of our merchants and others to co
operate with the officers in their eff
forts to correct some of these condi-
lions. So far as l am able to ascer
tain the only business that anyone
has tried to interfere with is that o:
the booze dispenser, and the voters
at the last local election showed very
decidedly that they want that business
with.
No, In my humble opinion the mis-
take is being made by few of our
business men and others in opposing
.hese officers who have done their
,e3t to uphold our laws in accordance
With the mandate of great majority
If our voters. And without question
ng the ability or intention of the can
who have announced them
selves in opposition to those now in
,ffice, it would be unreasonable to dis
place officers who have made good by
others as yet untried in public life.

! a business basis, Western hos

on business basis, Western hos
tiiity has been converted into active
support and marked advances have
been made in state and private for
estry. The Forest Service itself has
achieved well deserved reputation
as one of the most efficient organiza-
lions in the entire government serv-
ice. 10 return it to the Department
OF the Interior would be to go back.
Moreover, it would place the service
in a department the attitude of
which is strongly influenced by a
century spent in dIsposing Of, not
conserving, the public domain-~a de
partment whose past opposition to
the service and its policies is well
known.
The Forest Service is naturally
the leader in the forestry movement
throughout the country. Any action
that would impair it's effectiveness
or weaken its influence would react
unfavorably not only on the admin
istration Of the national forests but
on the progress of forestry in every
state. This fact has been recognized
by the Association of State For
esters, the Massachusetts Forestry
Association and other we'll informed
organizations, which have adopted
vigorous resolutions opposing the
transfer Of the Forest Service from
the Department Of Agriculture as
inimical to the public interest. 1t is
hardly conceivable that such action
would be taken were Congress and
the nation fully informed Of the
facts. The danger lies in haste and
lack of publicity. Every friend of
forestry should urge his representa-
tives in Congress to use their infiu-
ence against the measures now
pending.

must not forget that we are all
brethren-those outside as we'll as

BY Their Thumbs Ye Shall Know
Theru

Bankers are having difficulty in
getting depositors to leave their
thumbp,ints as marks Of identi6ca-
tion. 1t is the surest and the best
way, but people ballS at it. Depos-
itors have no objection to giving
their names and addresses or to
leaving their signatures. They ac-
cept without protest the numbers
by which their accounts are desig-
mated. They would, if the bank in
sisted upon it, submit to being photo
graphed, as they do for passports
and for communication tickets on the
New York Central
But the thumbprint causes them
to back away. 1t is, they seem to
think, degrading to rub their thumbs
i'll ink and press them on a plate.
Criminals are thus marked for iden-
tiiication later on, in the event that
they return to evil courses. Thumb
printing was devised originally by
criminologists.
Yet criminals are also photo
graphed and numbered. They not
only cheerfully give their names, but
often give three or four names
apiece, just for good measure. And
though the thumbprint that they
leave with the central office may
chang them," as Mark Twain said
dramatically in "Pudd'nhe Will
son." they step up briskly and leave
the desired mark.
Why perfectly innocent people,
who have done no wrong and have
laid no plans for future crimes,
should object to doing the same
thing is difficult to understand. The
thumbprint is surer than a sigma
ture, which can be forged, or than
photograph, which can be doctored.
Every man and woman should regis
ter his or hers in some place of pub
lie record. 1t would save many law
suits, much trouble and great deal
of money. If the banks, through a
campaign Of education, shall succeed
in overcoming this prejudice they
will do a real public service.

No Place for a Horse Trade

Our grandfathers would have been
shocked had anybody told them that
in some future time horse trade
would find its way into a court of
justice. The Playfellow case would
have filled them with disgust and in
dignation.
To them a horse trade was horse
trade, and when it was over it was
over. They bartered animals, but the
rule of caveat emptor strictly ap
piled, and it was never dreamed that
the barterers would go to court. If
they found that roarers or suckers or
windbroken nags had been wished on
them, they kept quiet about it till
they could find some one to whom
the blemished animals could be
traded in turn.

Albertisrn

Albertism, whose central principle
Is the right of men to stay in the
home, is introduced to the public by
FLORENCE Guy Woolston in "The New
Republic" The new cult, it is to be
gathered, seeks to rationalize the
doctrine LET George do it,
Women find it difficult to follow
careers in the business or profess
sional world and preside over a
home with proper serenity and devo-
tion. About the time mothers helper
ruins the electric washing machine
and little jamie begins to spend too
much time at the drug store mother
comes to the conclusion that home
engineering, rather than the real
estate business, is the job in which
she must not fail.
Feminists have sought for years
to find a way to save these potential
real estate geniuses to the world.
Cooperative housekeeping is the best
solution so far offered, but this vio-
lates the very cardinal principle of
the home, which is privacy and the
right of man to have his apple pie
seasoned the way he likes it.
So, why not Albertism? All that
is necessary for the woman who
feels that the world of. affairs calls
her Is to select for her mate one who
longs for the retired life of the
home. True, the inherited tradition
of centuries forces men to be the
outside workers Of the herd, but, on
the other hand, modern psychology
is learning to classify people not by
inherited sex instincts but by their
personal equation. The shape of q
mans head. the trend of his
thoughts, indicate the sphere of his
success. Men are born whose ma
lures long for solitude. Their only
chance for happiness to-day is to
marry rich wives or boarding house
keepers. Lacking this, they satisfy
their thwarted domestic instincts by
mixing salad dressing and broiling
trout over the campfire on summer
vacations.
But suppose society recognized the
Albsrts in every community as the

The Naval Ratio

The naval limitation ratio put for
ward by Secretary. Hughes at the
opening of Size Washington confer
ence aimed at two results. One was
a restriction of the offensive strength
of navies. The other was tighten
ing of the economic burdens of naval
competition. Holding naval strength
down to defensive requirements is
check on war. The abandonment of
building programs and the elimina-
tion of excess naval expenditure are
certain to benefit all nations in the
end. 1t is a necessary step toward
economic readjustment the world
over.
No single nations interests can be
advanced by insistence on materi
ally larger ratio. The proposals re-
ported to have been made in commit
tee by the French naval experts are
based on contingencies, not actuali-
ties. 1t is said that France, having
been compelled to stop naval con-
struetion in 1914, while Great Brit
ain, Japan and the United States
continued to increase their fleets, is
entitled to have the tonnage allow
ance which would be due her if she
had gone ahead with her 1912 pro-
cram.
There would be an element of JUS
tice in this claim if the Hughes ratio
contemplated the employment Of
navies in the future on the offensive.
It does not do this 1t seeks, on the
contrary, to establish a defensive
status quo for at least ten years.
Conditions will hardly change suffi-
GENTLY within that period to require
France to make up for her enforced
naval holiday since 1914 by building
ten super-dreadnoughts, aggregating
$4,000 tons. There are surer ways
in which she can secure her safety
than by trying to regain her former
relative standing as naval power.
1t would be deplorable If any one
nation represented in the conference
should upset ratio based on exist
ing capital ship strength and thus
open the door to a renewal of ex-
iiausting naval competition. The
rations are sick of such rivalries.
They all need the money they can
save on armament more than they
need the armament. In the common
interest the Hughes ratio should
stand.
