The Irish Crisis.

In endeavoring to understand the
troubles that are again prevalent in
Ireland 1T is necessary to assume that
good faith tried to carry out the treaty
Of London, which provided for domin-
ion government for southern Ireland
and for a Professionally separate Ulster.
Yet there is no lack Of challenge on
this score. Advocates Of an Irish re-
public assert that the London govern
ment has not done its part in the va
cation Of southern Ireland. and has
aided or encouraged the attacks upon
non- -Protestants in Ulster. The charge
is denied.
In the north Of Ireland, in Ulster and
Belfast particularly, sniping has been
in progress ever since the treaty was
signed at London and accepted by the
dali at Dublin. 1t went sorely against
the grain of the southern Irishmen to
see possible separation, particularly
as the population Of Ulster is mixed
in point of religion.
Unwisdom and intemperance have
| marked the developments in Ireland
during the past few months. Those
favoring an absolute republic wholly
free from British dominion have
maneuvered to prevent an acceptance
! of the treaty by vote of the people. 1t
is believed that a referendum would
result in a vote favorable to the treaty.
Winston Churchill has given warn
ing that the disorders must cease or
the British government will intervene
| to check them. De Valera replies with
| a virtual dare Plainly If the gov
ernment at London should send troops
back to Ireland to restore order civil
war would result, with dreadful blood
shed. The prayer Of all friends of Ire
land in this country is that such a
course will not be pursued, that the
| treaty viii be ratified by the people
and that order will be restored in
Ulster Whoever is to blame in the
north province it is needless now to
seek to ascertain. The point of vital
| Importance is that faction is rife there
| to the point of threatening a general
war throughout the whole island, and
| this faction must be suppressed or
shocking disaster will result.

Congress and the Tariff.

An assertion often made, and some
times with good emphasis, is that Con-
gress is incapable of dealing intel
ligently with the tariff question; that
the average senator and representa-
tive, lacking knowledge Of details,
talk around the question, and discuss
it too much from a political point Of
view and for personal political ends
convert it whenever possible into
vote-getter.
One has only to follow the debate
now in progress in the Senate to ap-
preciate how untrue and absurd the
assertion is. Members on both sides of
the chambers, by amendments offered
and by examination Of amendments
offered by others, are showing IA
miliarity with tariff schedules and
rates, and with business at home and
abroad as affected by them. There is
some rambling by the minority for
political purposes, but. in the main,
there is a. reasonably close sticking to
the question by both sides. and much
light thrown on every phase Of it.
1t may be that because Of the uni
versal business dislocations produced
by the war Congress should enlarge
the force for gathering statistics bear
ing on the tariff, so as to cover as
thoroughly as possible the whole
field. Our present business ambition
looks to a large world trade. and Con-
gress should have the latest about
world conditions and requirements.
But Congress will never release its
hold on the tariff-never attempt to
hand the question over to a tribunal
of experts. 1t could not If it would,
the Constitution preventing, and it
would not if it could. human nature
preventing. Men love power, and
when possessing It hold on to it and
exercise it. And the power inhering
in the tariff is great.

"World Peace and Prosperity"

Say the Indiana democrats in their
state platform adopted yesterday:
The democratic party is more than
ever convinced that If the league OF
nations and Versailles treaty had not
failed of ratification by republican
Senate the readjustment period
would have been over long ago and
world peace and prosperity would
now be assured, our foreign markets
maintained and the high ideals con-
ceived by Woodrow Wilson realized.
This does not state the case clearly
or fairly. The republican Senate stood
ready to ratify the Versailles treaty
with certain reservations, and in its
attitude had the support of some
democratic senators. Those reserva-
tions applied only to American instl-
tutions, and would not have impaired
the treaty in it's influence on affairs
elsewhere.
But Mr.. Wilson would not have it
so. His work at Paris must be rati-
fed by the Senate just as he had sub
mitted it, or not at all.
The treaty thus fell between the
two stools. Mr.. Wilson shared with
the Senate in the result. he stoou
out against the Senate as stoutly as
the Senate did against him.
The assertion that ratification OF the
treaty by the Senate would have re-
stored world peace and prosperity"
opens up so wide and interesting a
field for discussion, it is to be hoped
the republicans may enter and culti-
vate it to the full. And it is probable
that they will. The challenge is In
viting. Certainly, nearly four years
after the armistice. peace and pros
perity are not the worlds portion, and
it is not easy to be seen how they
are to be restored.
The Indiana republicans have at
thei- head the leading orator in the
state. and so choice topic should ap-
peal to him.

Bolting in 1920.

sHere's a howdy-do" An organiZa-
tion has been formed in New York
pledged to oppose any candidate for
governor or senator this fall who
failed in 1920 to give their unqualified
support to the democratic candidates
for President, governor and United
States senator"
Suppose this movement spreads. as
It may. Suppose in other states, in
every state, democrats aspiring to Of
flee this year or two years hence are
required to show a clean bill of health
as respects 1920. How many men will
be affected? How many ambitious
plans will go to pot?
There were a great many democrats
some Of them influential in party
affairs-who, for one reason or an
other, refused to support Gov. Cox for
President. Some refused because of
his adoption of wisconsin. Others be-
cause they considered him a wet. And
still others because Of a fear that if
elected he would come under the spell
of the man who for eight years had
been running the government, as they
thought, to the governments disad-
vantage.
Bolting is, of course. everybody's
privilege. A candidate is nominated.
"No like him, no take him." But
there is peril to aspiring men In re-
fusing to take him. There is peril
even in giving him only a half
hearted support. A. P. German and
David B. Hill paid a heavy penalty
for the grudging support they gave to
Mr.. Bryan in 1896. Neither prospered
politically after that. And Henry Wat
terson, who bolted the Bryan nomina-
tion that year outright, never re-
covered his influence even with his
home constituency for his exhibition
of independence in that matter.
Bolting in the Cox campaign was
widespread, and if account Of 1t is
now to be taken in the way Of re-
,prisals the public is assured Of "a
:halcyon and vociferous time"

Gone Is the Day Of the Boss;
Woman Voters Have Speeded It

HE National Capital may be
correctly described today as
the center OF political direc-
tive activity at this period,
to degree notably greater than ever
before. In comparison with ten years
ago the condition shows a remarkable
contrast. BY the same token Wash
ington IL the political nerve-center.
which registers conditions existing
In all parts Of the country. Direction
goes out. Information comes in; 1t Is
both sending and receiving station
for political affairs on a large scale.
Observant politicians of national
prominence are sensible of change
going on in political thought In the
nation which may vitality AFFECT
States, which threatens to disin-
tegrato them, they say, and set up
new standard for the alignment OF
voters. 1t is a disturbing thought to
the old-lirte political managers as
they contemplate entering upon an
uncharted sea minus old familiar
channel marks the guiding lights.
The votes Of women and the opera
iton OF the primary laws are said
to be responsible for the changing
aspects Of political thought and party
conditions. Recognition of these facts
is responsible for the frantic efforts
now being made to repeal or modify
the primary laws in many OF the
states.
VIII the effort be successful? An
answer in the Affirmative would seem
to be furnished by the experience In
New York, but the more cautious
among the leaders are not over
optimistic, realizing, they say. that
If the electorate sniffs in the air the
underlying motive for the repeal De-
ing made by the party leaders the
masses may go pell NELL the other
way.
The tendency of the times seems TO
be to break away not only from
strict party ties but from leaders and

4 Wireless Law.

Naval officials are reported from
Paris as saying that none Of the
French freight steamships near the
steamer Egypt when she sank on

These vessels would have carried
wireless had the international agree
ment requiring all shi ips to be equip
ped with it been signed Promptly
after it was put forward in January,
1914. The United States and four
other countries, including Germany,
signed it before the war began:
French officials were not authorized
to sign until July. 1920. They were
then informed that 1t was too late
because the conventions time limit
had expired in December, 1914.
There the matter has rested since
No further action has been taken to
compel all vessels which travel the
sea lanes to carry wireless. There is
just about as much sense in permit
ting small vessels to ignore wireless
as there would be in permitting small
motor cars to run without lights at
night while requiring motor trucks
to display them.-New York Herald

Is It because the old virile, ruthless
political czars are dead, or that tina
times are changing, that POLITICAL
is the query the political leaders Of
today are asking. hght on that
point a distinction IL drawn; there
are leaders and leaders who are dif-
ferentiated from the old-time boss
California, for instance. He is an
acknowledged leader In his state,
with a great personal following. But
he is never accused OF heading a
machine, or being a boss in the sense
that Matthew G. Quay was IN Penn l.,
York, or Arthur p. German in Mary
land.
Pennsylvania furnishes another ex-
ample of the difference between the
devotion given a leader and the blind
allegiance yielded to q boss, in the
victory of Clifford Pinchot in the
primary contest for the gubenatorial
nomination. On primary day. PENN

years of an iron-clad regime In the
republican party, beginning. with
Simon Cameron apd. ending In the
death of Boise Pehrose. 1t Is true
that a machine" existed in a num-
ber of units. But there was no con-
trolling head to the mechanism. Some
OF the units sensing perhaps the ap-
preaching change in political condf-
tions separated thernselvesAnd threw
in their lot with what proved TO be

and measures?

FOR HOME AND
CHILD PROTECTION

Desertions of wife and children have
been alarmingly increased il North
Dakota the last few years, in common
with the rest of the United States,
and the result is a general movement
to. strengthen legal bulwarks to pro-
tect the home and augment the sense
OF parental responsibility. A strict law
covering the protection of children and
pregnant wives, other wives and child
rem under sixteen who are unable to
support themselves has been prepared
by the North Dakota Children's Code
commission and will be submitted to
the coming Legislature. The penalty
for desertion Of or failure to support
a child under Is or a pregnant wife,
with intent to "wholly abandon, is
fixed at Imprisonment in the state.
pe%nitentiary up to a maximum of five
years. Desertion or failure to support
for a period of three months shall be
rresumptive. evidence of intention to
wholly abandon. The provision over
ing desertion of the child applies also
to mothers, guardians, ETC., as well as
to fathers.
Any man who fails to provide for his
wife or any parent or other person,
responsible, who does not provide for
the children under Is who are in his
or her custody, is guilty of a misde-
neanor Persons convicted under this
section, however, may furnish bonds
covering a period up to five years, to
provide for wife or children and upon
violation of the bond, the original
judgment shall be executed.
