DE VALERA TO
URGE AM|TY
TREATY MADE
New Version of His Amend
ment Distributed to Mem
bers of Dali Eireann To
Make Public Proposal.
half EXPRESS VIEWS

DUBLIN, Jan. 4.-Announcement
was made during this afternoons ses-
sion of the Dali Eireann that Eamonn
De Valera would make public his al
tentative proposal for a substitute OF
the Anglo-Irish treaty which is under
consideration at the close of the after
noon session.
On the re-assembly of the Dali today
the new version of Eamonn De Va
lera's treaty of amity between Ireland
and the governments of Great Britain
and the other states of the British
commonwealth was distributed.
The amendment provides:
THAT inasmuch as the articles of
agreement for a treaty between Great
Britain and Ireland, signed at London,
December 6, 1921, do not reconcile
Irish national aspirations and the as
sociation of Ireland with the commu-
nifty of nations known as the British
commonwealth, and cannot be the
basis of a lasting peace between the
Irish and British peoples.
Question Is Raised
The Dali Eireann, in the name of
the sovereign Irish nation, makes to
the government of Great Britain, to the
governments of the other states in the
British commonwealth, and to the peo-
pies of Great Britain and of these sew
eral states, the following proposal for
treaty of amity and association which
the Dali Eireann is convinced could be
entered into by the Irish people with
the sincerity of god will
Mr.. De Valera, after sharp exchange
with Arthur Griffith and Michael Col
Inns over the much mooted document
Number 2' announced that he would
move his alternative proposals as an
amendment to the Griffith motion for
ratification of the treaty.
The question was raised whether Mr..
De Valera, under the rules of the de-
bate, would be permitted to make an
other speech.
Half Express Views
When the Dali Eireann reassembled
today SO of its members-nearly half
had expressed their views on the
Irish peace treaty. Between private
and public sittings the Dali thus far
has devoted nine days to debate.
Although the list of speakers is still
far from exhausted, it is apparent
that every argument has been brought
forward and it is believed that hence
forth the speeches will be short.
Iope for division tomorrow or Fri
day at the latest, was freely expressed
today. The newspapers continue to
speculate on the size of the majority
for the treaty. The political cores

POISON IVY OFTEN BLAMED
FOR HARM BY OTHER PLANTS

Although poison ivy is one of the
worst offenders, it frequently is
blamed for poisoning caused by other
plants, says DR.. w. w. Stockberger,
of the United States department of
agriculture. The department has a
list of more than 100 of such plants
that grow in this country, and it is
probable that there are others that
may be poisonous to some persons.
Not all of these plants are equally
poisonous, and, too, there is great var
iation in the susceptibility of persons.
Because some of these common
plants are used for ornament in the
home is no reason to fear them, as
most persons are not affected by them
and in the great majority of cases the
irritation of the skin is mild. This
would probably hold true of such
plants as the tomato, geranium, daft
fodil, and many others that are known
to cause skin poisoning. Such plants,
though, as the nettles, are irritating
to most persons.
In the long list of plants having
these toxic properties are the follow
ing, which are we'll known, but not

HART HAS PLAN.

Governor Hart has outlined a plan
to keep state expenses down. He
would make the duty of the governor
to submit a budget to the Legislature
and the legislature should then pass
bill, raising or lowering allotments
for officers, and they would be OBJ
liged to keep within the budgets
More strength to his arm. We hope
that he can lop about forty million off
the annual expenditures, which would
still leave enough to run several fair
" economical states.

We no longer see them. The partial col.
lapse Of the dry" laws and most Of the
scandal that has snsued are due 10 easily
understandable causes.
Men who dominate in politics and arc
elected TO control most Of the mechan-
isms Of public administration represent
part Of society which Is not disposed
to accept the dry" edicts Of Congress as
guiding principle. The practice Of
crooked politics has been made SO enor-
mously profitable by the appearance Of
bootleggers that hope Of better things
becomes daily more remote.
Enforcement Of prohibition cannot be
controlled by the Governors, a. the Gov.
ernors themselves must know. The
political element that elects Governors
must be reformed and convinced before
the Volstead law can be made operative.
All this may be observed In passing
merely In order that We may not con.
tinue to deceive ourselves with false
hopes aud falser assumptions.

As at present constituted the fund Is

JERSEYS PRISON PROBE

NEW JERSEYS prisons have never
4 been noted for scientific, humane or
even efficient management. The State
institution at Trenton was furiously
muckraked years ago at the beginning
of the series Of disclosures which pre-.
ceded sweeping reforms in jail manage
ment throughout the East. Forced and
contract labor, contract feeding. fogging
and solitary confinement were common
practices at the Trenton prison before
the original reforms were instituted
under pressure Of public opinion. And
the Investigations which led to abolition
Of such abuses were carried on against
loud objections raised by jail officials,
who, accustomed to the Jail codes Of the
Middle Ages, couldn't see anything
wrong In them.
The criticism directed by Joseph S.
Huff, chief keeper at Trenton, at inves.
tigators who have been quietly looking
into the States prison system sounds
like an echo out Of the familiar past
The Trenton Jail may be we'll and
decently managed. But it Is fact that
few reforms in prison administration
may be regarded es permanent. Jails
have habit of lapsing back into their
old ways.

Institutions and Agencies in Jersey, and
several representatives of the Board Of
Prison Control have been taking evi.

The emotion inseparable from Q high

A LEADERLESS UNIVERSITY

A NALYSIS Of the conditions which
"A prevent General Leonard Wood from
leaving the Philippines does not mitigate
the plight Of the University OF Pennsyl-
vania. The trustees have accepted, with
out qualification, the resignation Of the
once prospective provost, or 'head," Of
the institution.
The problem Of executive authority at
the University is thus precisely what it
was before April, 1921. when General
Wood was selected. The proposed
Sl0,oOO,0OO endowment fund campaign
has not been launched. Plans for con.
ducting it were contingent upon stabil.
izing the management Of the college.
The question Of choosing a chief off,
Ger for the University will, it is said, be
considered at the next meeting of the
trustees. The necessity for q decision Is
pressing.
The interegnum management Of the
University has triumphed over some
embarrassing situations and governed
the institution with conspicuous ability.

makeshifts too far.

A MESSAGE TO EUROPE

NEWS important enough to be ex-
~ panded into many columns is only
slightly veiled-for the sake of polite
nsss--in the official announcement that
no great American loan to Germany will
be sanctioned by Washington until the
whole question Of German reparations
is threshcd out in daylight and perma-
nently settled.
This means that the Government Of
the United States is opposed to the pres
ent system Of indefinite terms; that it
can see no way to safety or peace until
France and Germany put their cards
face up on the table; that 1t looks with
doubt, If not with open disfavor, on the
naneuvering Of the Powers, and that it
isn't ready to believe that all the truth
has yet been told about the conflicting
purposes Of France and Germany.

ing.
The press Of the country, we are
informed, "can help by encouraging
respect for the dry laws" 1t happens
that the great majority Of American
newspapers of influence have been dis.
posed to lean a little backward on the
side Of prohibition in their efforts to aid
in a large experiment with a benefcent
principle.
The Governors have been telling the
President that the Federal enforcement
system Is woefully inadequate and that
1t needs many more men and far more
money than Congress seems willing to
provide Tor 1t. That is something that
has been clearly apparent to everybody
from the beginning.
1t is the belief Of the Governors con-
ference that the dry" laws may be
enforced II all people will cultivate a
habit Of reverence for the Volstead
law" But, unfortunately. reverence
isn't due to habit of mind. 1t cannot

instinctive reaction Of the human spirit,
and If 1t does not appear voluntarily it
Will not appear at all.
The men who were invited to confer
frankly with the President have been
altogether too evasive and too willing
to resort to pleasant generalities rather
than to unpleasant but wholesome truths.

,a0isly visible in the foreground Of the
