Impassioned Tribute to
Erin By Non-Gaelic Stirs
Senators Of United
States.
(By International News Serviceo

fBv international News Service)
washington. May 2.-Ireland
was described as the "brainpan OF
the world in an impassioned trlb-
ute to the Emerald Isle by Senator
Stanley, Democrat, OF Kentucky
during a recent debate on the floor
of the Senate
Stanley eloquently pleaded the
cause of the Irish Free State, saying
it has risen through centuries OF
oppression to command the admlra-
ton of the world.
81 have not drop of irish blood
in my VEINS" Stanley said. Il wish
[ had. | can trace my ancestry back
to an unbroken English line and
I'm not specially proud of it. But |
know that when the history of all
the peoples of all the world shall
| have been written there will be
nothing in song or story sWeeter
or sadder or grander than the SUIT
ferings and the triumph Of the
Irish people and the Irish nation.
Crises Like TRANSPORTATION"
"Out of centuries of persecution
such as no other race ever suffered,
up from fields incarnadined in blood
of heroes and stakes and gibbets,
sanctified by the secrificial deaths
of martyrs, in her rags and her pow
erty, her learning and heroism, wild
and grand and beautiful, Ireland
rises like a transformation to com
mand the admiration of the world,
for at last, thank God, Old Ire
land is Free
Stanley suggested that if the pleas
of pro-British were followed, that
the statue of Andrew Jackson in
front of the White House be torn
down and new one erected to
Lloyd George or George Harvey.
"Why should not Ireland feel an
antipathy to Great Britian?" Stan
ley demanded. mo Senator has the
right to treat contemptuously the
Just sentiment against wrongs Sc
deep and damnable that their reitera-
ton might make the very angels in
heaven weep.
"Ahhorrence of Englishmen."
"Were | an Irishman, as l am an
American of English ancestry,
would swear my first-b0rn son, as
lHasdrubal did Hannibal to eternal
Ihate of Rome, to the adherence of
TALL that Englishmen say or 90 or
think as long as he remembers the
women they had outraged, the babes
they had butchered, the sons sent tC
stake and the gibbet, her faith dis
honored and her fields drenched
with blood and desolated by fire
and sword"
Irish have filled every post with
honor and have adorned everything
they have touched" he concluded.
81 pay my humble need of praise
to the brainpan Of the world, to
the home of poetry, of eloquence
and of valor-to the Emerald Isle"

WINS Reward
OF OWN LABOR
Eugene LOthgren Worked Way
Through Augustana in z
Years.

Seven years spent in earning his
way through Augustana college by
a young man whose parents in Chi
cago are able to meet the expenses
of his tuition, but who were not al
lowed by their son, will be ended
for Eugene Lothgren when he is
graduated tomorrow.
Preferring to gain his education
through his own efforts, young
Lothgren picked up jobs hither and
yon, and during his spare time has
been employed at the Rock Island
postofice, at movie theatres, and
in many other positions.
For the last two and a half years
he has been business manager of
the Augustana Observer, taking Of
fee when the paper was a strug-
Cling monthly publication. 1t is
understood that he succeeded in
doubling the subscriptions and
placed the paper on a sound finan-
cial basis.
Many friends both in and out of
Augustana are congratulating him
on the successful completion of his
studies, and his case is regarded
as being unique owing to his stand
that his parents should not bear
the expense Of his college course.

Judge Let's Pleads For Return
to DeUout Observance Upon Day
Dedicated to Honor Soldier-Dead

Voicing the fear that Americans
might, in. their tireless pursuit of
pleasures and material things, lose
sight entirely of the sacred senti-
ments associated with Memorial
day, District Court Judge F. D.
Let's, Davenport, this afternoon
pleaded for a return of the old fash
toned Memorial day with its hum
bic spirit of reverence for those
who gave their lives in defense OF
home and country.
In calling attention to this fea-
ture, so often ignored in Memorial
day addresses, he referred to the
tendency of the times which seem
to look upon the day more as a holi-
day, a day of rest and an opportun-
ity to escape toll rather than as a
day set aside to pay tribute to the
flag and its honored dead.
Judge Let's urged his audience
to show greater reverence toward
the flag. Memorial day was
founded upon reverence to the flag
as much as to honor those who,
through love for that flag, made the
supreme sacrifice" he said. With
out the flag there would have been
no Memorial day"
After calling attention to the fact
that Memorial day originally was
instituted by the veterans of the
Civil war as day for the visiting
of the graves of their departed COM
rades, he said the movement has
developed until today, for the first
time, virtually the entire world is
paying homage to its dead warriors.
The thought, expressed and put
into practice by the men of the G.
A R., has been adopted by the
American Legion and through that
organization by the Inter-Allied
Veterans Federation and the OBJ
servance of the day insured in prac-
tically every civilized country on
the globe with the exception of Ger
many, Russia, Austria and Hun
gary.
Despite the fear that the world
is in danger of getting out Of
alignment with the true sentiments
of the day, 1 have confidence that
the day, established by the now
rapidly thinning ranks of the boys
of 81 and '65, will be perpetuated
by the youngsters of the World
war who, in their olive drab uni
forms, are stepping into the gaps N
the ranks of the Blue and Gray.
With the infusion of the new blood,
coming from north and south, east
and west, all sectional lines are be-
ing obliterated through a unity of
spirits" he said.
@Genius of America
Reviewing briefly the achieve
ments of the American soldier, the
speaker took up the question of
what he terms 1.-The genius of
America" that indescribable some
thing which pervades our institu-
lions and our national life. It was
this genius that caused our fore
fathers to leave their native lands
and settle here, later to found a
government, draft the Declaration
of Independence and frame the
constitution of America"
Paying a tribute to Abraham
The Rock Island Argus and daily union. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1920-1923, 1922-05-30

Lincoln and the soldiers of the
north, the speaker declared "the
same genius that led to the free
ing of the slaves in later years
prompted the men of the Spanish
American time to stretch out a
helping hand to a downtrodden
neighbor 1t was this same genius
that caused the youth of the land
to rally to the colors when our gov
eminent entered the World war.
Americas hope rests in the per-
petuation of this spirit of genius,
which, in itself, is an unself1sh
thing and something that is con-
stantly seeking out justice for
others as well as for itself"
Plea for AmericaniZatiOn.
Judge Let's closed his address
with a strong plea of the principles
of Americanization,n not only to the
end that the man and woman ad-
mitted from a foreign land shall
become an American citizen, but
that those who are Americans by
birth or by adoption, shall be re-
dedicated to the principles for
which the men honored today gave
their lives"
The speaker urged the reviewing
and especially by the younger gen.
Grafton, of the achievements Of
those who have sacrificed their ma
terial wealth and their lives.
