MORE HATE

,rF THE Irish republicans WHO klnded
\ the first fires of a new war on the Ulster
b0rderline were paid cmissaries Of the most
cold-blOoded British toryism, if they had
been bribed heavily to impede and confuse

of Irish freedom, they could not have done
tetter--or worsc-thnn they did.
"Always unstable says the London
Morning Post, chief organ Of the British
Ssacttonaries, in its attempted analysis Of
the sentiment which Is presumed to have
inspired the latest outbreak Of violence in

FLORIDA FOR FLoRIDANS

MIR. BRYAN IS coming up against the
Avx prejudice of the people of Florida in
favor Of gratifying the political ambitions
Of old residents
Florida Is Il pleasant State to live In
and 1t is not SO popuous a, Pennsylvania.
tro'led. \ rich and ambitious Democrat
taking up his residence there might desire
to 60 to Congress from a Florida district
and make the necessary arrangements with
the machine and get elected.
But the old residents prefer to give the
sf6ces to men who have lived IN the State
. long time. Accordingly they amended
their Stnte Constitution some time ago SO
as to forbid the Governor or any other
State officer giving Il certificate Of election
to any one elected to the House ot Repre-.
Dentattves or the Senate who had not lived
In the State for five years.
This prohibition Is now being raised
against Mr.. Bryan's ambitions to go TO the
Senate. He was a delegate 70 the Demo-
critic national convention from Nebrask
In 1920, although he had winter home in
Miami for number of years earlier.
Within a year or so he has taken up his
permanent residence there.
Now the question remains whether
Florida can make u qualification for the
senatOrsh!p that is not In the Federal Con-
stftution. That document does not say
anything about the length Of time n man
must live IN State before becoming eligible.
but simply says he must be citizen of
the State. Il Mr.. Bryan should be elected
he could not get certificate from any
state officer unless chat officer chose 70
violate the State Constitution.
But. on the other hand. IL the certificate
OF election We're given 70 the candidate de-
feated By Mr.. Bryan. does any one suppose
that the Senate. which is thr solo judge
Of the qualification and election of It's
members. would refuse to seat Mr.. Bryan
II he contested TIE title OF the man with
the certificate?

MORE ABOUT TRAFFIC

nF PARTICULAR interest in the list
~ Of suggestions promulgated by the
Chamber Of Commerce for the better regula-
tion of motor traffic is the recommendation
for a modern system Of semaphorcs on
Broad street. That suggestion might well
be broadened TO include Market. Chestnut
and Walnut streets as well.
By the use of semaphores of the modern
type now operated i, New York and else
where 1t Is possible TO keep all trahic in
a large area moving cvcnly. There are
no long spaces of empty and unused streets
between signal posts.
The modern scmapho"e IS unlike those
now used In this city. They are more con
spicuous and so built as to hc visible at
long distances. at night or in day time, to
drivers midway in the traffic current.
We shall have to adopt them sooner or
later. VIII! not adopt them now:

Irish people have arrived at after 100 years
Of strife and loss.
A civil war in ireland would not be
between Ulster and the South or the Eng
lish and the South. II would be between
factions Of the South rs well. 1t would
tend to weaken ireland and strengthen
Irelnnd's enemies. Gable dispatches hint
that Eamon dc Valera is furtively cncourag-
ing the southern minority to violence That
* hard to believe because dc Valera Is n
man of intelligence aud seemingly. In his
senses
Griffith and Collins know that peace IS
needed now to insure continuing strength
and progressive development for Ireland as
well as any greater measure Of indcpend-
cnce which the country hopes for. Dis
sensions and factional war will be en-
cournged only b. the enemies Of Ireland.

A PAcIFIST WAVE?

("tRESPONDENIS OF the Democratic
~ press have found something new to
justify the gloom which pervades NIL their
dispatches from Washington. President
Harding, they say, is living in deadly fear
of pacifist wave out of the Middle West,
n wave that would force Congress to make
perious cuts and slashes In naval appro
priations and the army budget.
Is Harding really in fear or do Demo-
cratic editors fear that he isn't? Was
the Armament Conference too successful for
those who have to direct a minority cam
paign? 1t IS true that there is n DISPOSE
ton not only in the Middle West. but else

of the consequences of this general tendency
