Progress Toward Free Ireland

The election of Arthur Griffith president OF the
Irish parliament marks important and necessary step
toward the constitution of the Free Irish State.
Legally there is justification for the position taken
by former president de Valera. The Dali is the parlia

elected to destroy the republic. But echnca
ties ought to give before the public safety and the
manifest will Of the people. Having ratified the treaty
with Ireland it is the manifest duty of the Dali give

the Irish republic but they also the representatives

An Admission Of Fact

In a recent letter from President John L. Lewis of
the United Mine Workers Of America to the members
of the Illinois district, quoted in The Black Diamond
for December 3d. 1921, is the following statement
''Do the miners of Illinois know that in the
fields Of Pennsylvania and Kentucky wages have
been reduced until miners are working for $3.44 for
nine-ho day7 Do the miners Of Illinois know that in
the state of Alabama the day wage scale underground
for nine hours is 50 per shift, and in in
stances companies paying only $s0 for nine hours
work underground Do you know that in the state Of
Colorado trying to maintain wage scale of
s775 in the coal mines WHILE the metal mines nearby,
clamoring for work at SO day7''
The facts admitted SO plainly by President Lewis
are not unknown to the coal miners Of Colorado and
they known to many Of the people Of Colorado.
Which explains why the strike of Colorado coal miners
called in opposition to the wish Of the majority of
the miners themselves, why it received little support
from the people generally and from the newspapers and
why it quickly demonstrated to be failure

The present state of relations between the United
States and Mexico is unusual in international affairs.
and is most interesting example of world condi-
tions,
Under President Carranza the Mexican government
gave to the government of the United States, upon
many occasions, provocations for war that would have
justified, under international law, aggressive acts by
this nation President obrcgon not such enemy of
the United States President Carranza, but the
Mextan constitution, under which Americans we're
pundercd and their treaty rights violated still exists
There is way in which to recognize President
Obrcgon under present conditions without recognizing
also the confscatory and discriminatory Mexican
sution, and the recognition of that fundamental law
of the Mexican republic is in fact condonatop of the
gross wrongs that have been inflicted upon American
citizens.
Under such conditions the former usual method of
proceeding would be to send ultimatum to Mexico.
That is the United States would make certain demands
upon Mexico, and upon refusal of Mexico to do the
thing. that demanded, the United States would
proceed to enforce its demands by military power.
Instead of such demand, Secretary Hughes has
sent to Mexico statement of the conditions upon which
the United States will recognize the Mexican govern
men This is not threat of war, but ii is proposal
of friendlncss. If Mexico desires friendship with the
United States, in politics, in business and in finance,
Mexico must do the things that make friendliness pos
ble and abstain from the things that make friend
illness impossible
Thus is established in international relations the
principle that obtains in the business world among
civilized persons If refuses to do business in
accordance with fundamental rules Of courtesy and
fair dealing the logical to deal with him is not to
assault him. burn his buildings and to steal destroy
his property but to stop doing business with him Such

position that all people have not only the equal right

Don't Be a Knocker."

If there is any chance to boom
business, boom it. Don't pull on
long face and look as though
YOU had a sour stomach. Hold
up your head. smile and look for
better things. Hide your little
hammer, and try to speak we'll of
others. When a stranger drops
in, jolly him. Tell him this is the
greatest town on earth and it
is. Don't discourage him by speak
ing of your neighbors. Let him
know he has at last struck a town
where white people live. Don't
Knock.
Help youself along by becom-
ing popular, and push your
friends with you. It's dead easy.
BE a good fellow and soon you II
have a procession of followers.
No man ever helped himself by
knocking other people down in
character or business to make
Others believe he was the only
man in town, or the only man
who knew anything. Don't Knock.
You are not the only one. There
are others, and they have brains,
and know something as we'll as
YOU. There's no end of fun mind
ing your own business. It makes
other people like you. Nobody
gets stuck on a knocker. Don I
be one-or two. BE good, and
ook on the bright side of things
When YOU are asked for a small

lon't begrudge it, for it will more
than come back to you if you
put your hand in your pocket
and come across with a SMILE
Exchange.
