then that Judge Snider Of Hamilton,
Ontario. decided to take q positive
stand and he announced that he would
require witnesses, to come from North
Carolina to Hamilton and appear in
person against Bullock.
Tho fundamental purpose Of Eng
lish law is the protection and the safe
guarding Of human life. The fact that
Bullock's brother had been lynchcd
was positive evidence that Matthew
Bullock. his bother could not secure n
fair trial in North Carolina. Governor
Cameron Morrison in an open letter
declared that he would not send wit
nesseS to Canada. The State Depart.
ment. through Acting Secretary Of
State Fletcher announced that the
Canadian authorities were within
their rights and no further steps could
be taken in the premises. Thus Mat

home. but liable to arrest whenever he
crosses the line into the United States

1t is indeed peculiar and unreascn-

have M. Bullock brought back, to the
scccne Of this unfortunate affair. 1t

State of North Carolina would be
great. 1t should be regarded rs a clos

should he not remain there We can
see no reason in this kind OF action
and we are glad to know that conservu

Hamilton, Ontario as in contralistinc-
ton to race hatred and malice in North
Carolina.

Assembly last week. This Bill was In
troduced by DR.. W. G. Alexander, AS
semblyman from Orange, N. j. This
measure had been before the Assembly
On three other occasions, but each
time it had been defeated. When the
Bill was called up this time it occasion
ed more discussion than any measure
that has been before the House for sev
eral years.
DR.. Alexander made strong argu-
ment on the merits Of the Bill, and fol
lowing this he was subjected for more
than an hour to "cross-fire" Of qhes
tioning. He met all Of the objections
logically and adroitly. The vote was
33 to 10 In favor Of the measure, ard
when Speaker Rowland announced the
result there was great out'burst OF
applause from the large number OF
spectators who were present.

THE AFTERMATH OF TILE
WORLD WAR,

Premier William Lloyd George an.
nounces that absolute independence
has been granted to Egypt. In view of
present day conditions, this admission
is significant. 1t seems to us to mean
that the dissolution Of the great Brit.
ish Empire as a centralized power Is
at hand and in its stead has grown up
loose federation Of States or Repub-
lies. The grilling experience through
which this great nation has passed
brings to mind what was said of
Greece.

MORE LEGISLATION.

The legislature Of Virginia is in the
throes Of additional prohibition legis-
lation. One branch after an acrimon-
ious fight has passed provision plac-
ing the purchaser Of liquor in tho
same class as tho salesman. This Is re.
garded as logical. 1t is known though
not to be practicable as it will be diff
cult TO secure evidence to convict.
Another provision makes it punish
able olfense for prohibition officer to
fail to turn III to the State all OF tho
liquor that he captures from tic
"'boot-legger". This will make the
business OF the prohibition officer un-
profitable from personal point Of
view.
Some Of the hest prohibition officers
have been noted for their ability to
trace 'boot-leggers" OH the scent alone.
When they have not had IL drink them
selves for weeks, it has not been Il din
| cult task for them to scent liquor with
the primary desire to Quench their own
thirsts first and to punish the viola
tors Of the law afterwards. So flagI mt
had become these conditions that be-
fore quitting office as Governor, Hon.
Westmoreland Davis proposed that pro
hibition officers be required to take IN
oath OF abstemiousness with reference
to liquor.
This brought forth q storm Of pro-
| test from that quarter and the measure,
has never been reported out of the COM
m1stee. In the federal court, Judge
Edmund Waddill handed down de-
| cision relative to search and seizure,
| which will have a far-reaching effect
IN federal cases. He cited the constitu-
tional guarantees Of the Constitution
| or the United States concerning this
question and announced that warrants
known as search warrants not drawn
| strictly in accordance with the proyis-
ions OF this supreme instrument would
be null and void and the evidence Sc
] Wi GU Ill tHlS llluilNeT would De CnfOWH
out Of court.
| AS the State and Federal systems Of
government are so closely intertwined.
It is evident that when State prohib;
tion officials. prosecute a person, where
a federal question is raised at the trial
the accused will enjoy those
rights specified by Judge Waddill,
even though the state law provide;
, otherwise.
| Thanks to President Woodrow viii
son and his administration, the fedcr-
al statutes are supreme. 1t will ulti,
mately be found that we are at present
in the hands of Legislators, who be.
lieve that every evil can be remedied
by legal enactments. It is now beins
seen that there is coming about a
steady contempt for legislative provis
ions and a disposition in even respect
able quarters to evade it. Injustice is
being enthroned in high places and
justice has been imprisoned in the
dungeons Of the world.

new RULES DUE
Federal Railway Labor Board
Completes Its Decision.
Code Affecting 100000 Workers
Effective February 1.

Chicago, Jan. 14.-New rules gov
erning conditions of employment for
more than 100000 clerical employees
of railways will be announced on jan
uary % by the United States railway
labor board, it was announced today.
The rules will become effective Feb
ruary /.
The new clerical rules, affecting
employees in railroad offices, freight
houses and terminals. are a revision
of the national agreement adopted
when the railroads were under gov
ernment control.
Since December 1 the labor board
has finally disposed of revision of
rules for shop workers and mainte-
nance of way employees. These. with
the clerks, comprise nearly 1,400, 600
out of the total of 100000 railroad
employees.
Officials of the Federated Shop
Crafts unions who have been in con-
ference here over rules recently pro-
mulgated for the shop men, have an
nounced that no strike vote will be
taken at this time. Instead, the unions
will attempt to obtain a rehearing
from the labor board on several rules
that they are opposed to.

South Ireland Parliament Fol-
lows Action by Dali.
Valera and Supporters in Boy
colt of Body.
TO LIVE ONLY THREE WEEKS
Body VIII Merge Into Free
State When Formed.
The CoIIins-Griffith Party Has
Things All Own Way.

Dublin, Jan. 14.-The southern
Ireland parliament today ratified the
Irish peace treaty.
Eamonn de Valera, former "presi-
dent of the Irish republic and his
followers boycotted the meeting.
The southern parliament created a
provisional government to administer
the affairs of all Ireland except Ulster
province until the British parliament
in London enacts a law officially
creating the Irish free state.
New Government Named.
The temporary provisional govern
ment or administrative commission
includes Michael Collins, minister of
finance in the Sim Fein cabinet and
chief leader of the Irish republican
army; Alderman Cosgrave, f. ]. Dug
gan, formerly chief liaison officer of
the British republican army. Patrick
Hogan, Fionon Lynch, Joseph Mac
Grath, Kevin, O'Higgins and John
MacNeill. chairman of the Dali
Before the meeting opened, it was
reported that, for diplomatic reasons,
Arthur Griffith, founder of the Sim
Fein, would not seek a place upon
the commission and that MacNeilS
would be proposed as its head.
It is likely that the life of the gov
ernment will not extend over three
weeks. AS soon as the Westminster
parliament convenes on January 81,
steps will be taken to bring the Irish
free state into being as rapidly as pos
sible.
Merely Backs Dali Action.
The ratification of the Irish treaty
by the southern parliament was more
or less of a formality. Its fate was
decided by the Dali Eireann one week
ago today when the pact was ratified
by a majority of seven votes. II
had been stipulated in the British
Irish treaty, however, that the parlia-
ment meet to approve the pact in or
der to confirm the validity of the law
which had created the parliament
Little time was lost in discussion
of the treaty. The followers of the
Collins Griffith faction in the Sim
Fein had things all their own way.
More Irish Are Freed.
London, Jan. 14-Thirty Sim Fem
ers, including the Rev. Father Domi-
mic, Roman Catholic chaplain to the
late Terence MacSwiney. lord mayor
of Cork, were liberated from an Eng
lish prison on the Isle of Wight to-
day and will return to Ireland at once.
They were freed under the recent
royal proclamation of amnesty. While
MacSwiney was on hunger strike in
Brixton prison, the Rev. Father Domi-
mic visited him and said mass every
morning.

MAY be MAN JURY
Arbuckle's Second Trial May
Not Include Women.
Defense, However, Makes Effort
for Feminine Jurors.

San Francisco, Jan. 14-Roscoe
Fatty" Arbuckle may be tried the
second time for manslaughter by a
jury composed entirely of men.
There were five women on the jury
in the first trial.
If the defense decides to abandon
their hope of a mixed jury made up
as nearly as possible of an equal num-
Der of men and women, the jury likely
will be completed today. If Gavin
McNab, chief counsel for the film star
holds to his determination to have a
good representation of women on the
jurp, it may not be completed until
some time next week.
When court convened today, the
count stools eleven to one with Mrs
Mary Somers the sole feminine in the
box. The defense removed by chal-
lenge two of the four VINO had been
tentatively passed. and the state one.
If the defense decides to submit the
case to jury composed largely of
men, Mrs. Somers will be removed by
peremptory challenge. But the prob
ability existed that some of the men
now in the box will be removed in an
effort to get more women eligible for
duty.
The prosecution retained today
seven Of it's peremptory challenges and
the defense three. enough to change
almost the entire box if counsel de-
sires. Should the task of selecting the
jury be completed today the taking
of testimony will start Monday. The
states case will require hut three days
for presentation and the defense will
be materially shortened, it is expected.

pert medical testimony
This will be possible thru the report

The first trial was over almost before
they reported.
