IreLand's Wounds.

" HE American Committee Tor
Relief in Ireland has report
4 ed upon its work up to the
beginning of this year.
1t received $5,O00,OO0 and has
spent 100000. Three-quarters
of a million was expended in Bel
fast, where 1000 people had been
made homeless by burnings and
10000 were for a year and half
deprived of income by violence
during lreland's Revolutionary
war;"
Outside Belfast were 10000 des-
titute non-combatants, a property
destruction of $32,OOO,OO0, 5000
men imprisoned or interned and
other thousands forced to flee
and hide.
During 1921 the White Cross
distributed in weekly relief and
grants, almost entirely to de-
pendents of war victims, 1927, 900;
it spent 100000 on repair of
more than 600 dwelling houses
and shops, and it set aside $780,
600 for the care and education Of
war-orphaned children.
The 100000 remaining will
be applied to relief and recon-
struction, but it will only go
little way. At least $1O,0O0,O0O
is needed. The real test of friends
of Irish freedom will come in the
support given the Irish Free State
as it faces the difficult task of
binding war wounds and rebuild
ing foundations Of welfare.

The Cure for Unrest.

~ HOSE who think that Senator
Kenyon translation to the
L bench may break up the agri-
cultural bloc in the Senate or
hamper its political expression
probably face disappointment.
Causes make leaders. Leaders
rarely make causes.
The third of our population
who live on farms and see farm
values depressed below costs of
production will not lack leaders
when they agree on programs.
Had President Cleveland made
Mr.. Bryan a judge, the kind of
democracy which its critics called
Populism would still have had it's
fling.
Only one thing can disarm the
agricultural bloc-government SO
efficient and fair in the common
interest that farmers will feel no
special grievances.
We recommend that to Presi,
dent Harding, to the G.. o. p, tc
all parties and governments
everywhere.

In Indiana, as elsewhere, such
government can be reached by
popular protest only at stated In

when new administration is
installed the people may be sold
out again.
But when the people enact their
right to initiate laws, to veto laws
and to recall public servants who
do not serve them, petitions
and "protests in boots" become
unnecessary.
For then the people have the
remedy for vicious government
directly in their own hands. Law

checks staring them in the face,
do not yield to greedy or criminal
private interests because the con-
sequences for them are swift and
