CENTURIES OLD
ENGLISH IRISH
STRUGGLE ENDS
House of Lords Gives
Legislative Sanction
to New Irish
Settlement.
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Dec. 4.-The CEN
turies old struggle between
England and Ireland Ended to-
night when the legislation Civ
ing the sanction of law to the
new settlement with Ireland
passed its final stages in the
house of lords, which for gen.
erations has bitterly opposed
any accommodation with Ire
land.
The constitution bill has gone through
both houses Of parliament without any
amendment and even without division
being challenged. Lord Carson alone,
whose influence was mainly responsible
for failure to settle the Irish question
in 1914, and who has throughout his po-
litical career been the bitterest opponent
of home rule. persisted to the very end
in his role of last ditcher'' even when
such traditional anti-home rulers as the
Marquis of Lansdowne and the Duke Of
Devenshire had gracefully yielded To the
government view and resolved to give
Ireland a chance. to prove her sincerity
under new conditions.
There now only remains royal assent,
which is a pure formalty and everything
will be ready for the new Grish govern
ment to come into existence with excel
lent omens in the expressed desire even
Of many Of the "die-hard" statesmen in
England to give it every opportunity to
succeed in it's work. not only unhamp-
cred, but aided by England.
T9gen the appointment OF Timothy
Healy as governor general of the Irish
Free State, which is momentarily ex-
pected to be announced officially, is on
reflection recognized as an auspicious
event When Mr.. Healy's name was first
mentioned 1t was received with aston
ishment and some incredulity. When
governor generalship is in question the
British mind turns naturally in the d.
rection of some title parsonage. Now II
is admitted the appointment of Mr.. Healy
would be singularly appropriate.
Preparations for the fOrmalities Of In
ausurating the government and appoint
ing an Irish senate were afoot in Dub
lin today, but it will probably be the end
of the week before the senate is COM
pletely constituted.

His Influence.

WASHINGTON, Dec. A.
Appropriations aggregating So
O78,940,331 for the fiscal year
beginning next July l, were
proposed today to congress by
President Harding in the second
annual federal budget. This is
exclusive of the postal service
and compares with actual ap-
preparations for this fiscal year
.totaling $3,274,238,690.
Government expenditures for the coming
fiscal years, also exclusive of the postal
service, were estimated at $3.50, s43, 234,
as compared with an estimate of $S,703,-
&o1,671 for this fiscal year and an actual
outlay OF $3,795, 302. .499 for the fiscal year
ended last June 80.
The total federal revenue for 1924 was
reckoned at $3,361. .S12.359. or an excess
of $180,969,125 over projected expendi-
tudes. The estimated revenue for this
fiscal year was S3,429 $50, ,959, or $273,-
9,712, less than the expected outlay
Mr.. Harding said, however. that 1t was
hoped to eliminate this deficit before the
end of the year, adding that If this hope
was not realized, the expected surplus for
1924 woud give margin to take care of
deficit.
In his message accompanying the de-
tailed budget The president frankly told
congress that whether the county could
look forward to any further material re-
duction upon whether there was a cur
tailment of expansion of federal aid IN
lines of research, Improvement and de-
velopment.
Attention was called by the executive
that approximately two-ehirds of the es-
Inmates outlay was on account of prac-
tically fixed charges, such as pensions
and world war allowances, public debt,
and interest, federal aid and
national defense, so that there was only
about 81 900, 900 subject to adverse con-

But aside from that, it is Of no possi-

True, I'm making my living on the

God has done much for Pensacola

cause God created the wonderful ad-

intended that those of us who live here
should be His trustees in the develop

Satsumaland. that wonderful area OF
horticultural country located all along
! the way in West Florida, from the Per-
dido to the ApalachiCola river, deserves
better at the hands of the Metropolis OF
the section than for Pensacola to fail to
establish an annual Satsuma Orange
show, the first one to be held the first
week in November, 1928.
But after all is said and done, I'm sure
that Pensacola will get a move on sooner
or later and put this show on. because
the pep which is so manifest through
out Satsumaland-at Milton; at Crest
view; at Holt; at DeFuniak Springs; at
Bombay; at Chipley; at Round Lake; at
Panama City; St. Andrews, Millville.
Lynn Haven, West Bay and all along the
bay section; at Graceville and Campbell
ton: at MaTianna; at Grand Ridge and
Sneads; al Wewahtchka; at Blounts-
town and Apaachicola; in short in every
hamlet in West Florida-is gradually
percolating the shell of conservatism in
which Pensacola has been concealing it
self from the outside world for so long,
and dear old Pensacola. the metropolis
of Satsumaland is being aroused from
her somnoIence gradually, but surely.
And l believe, if she's given time enough,
she's eventually going to become thor
oughly aroused to the possibilities of de-
velopment of the entire section sur
rounding her.
Right Now-Thls Week!
But to get the full benefits which will
accrue to a Satsuma Orange show for all
Of Satsumaland. it isn't bit too early
to start an organization to handle the
show-not next week, but RIGHT NOW;
this week.
I've been practically all over Satsr-

If I can arouse its citizenship from its
self f-commiseration over the fact that
business is dull; from its policies of de-
voting so much of its time to the devel-
opment and fostering of projects which
are of questionable benefit, and but tenn
porary, at best; from its attitude of skep-
ticsm with reference to the big things
which are being done throughout Sat
sUmaland, that there's an era of pros
perity for Pensacola, which may be de-
Veloped almost overnight with proper
handling. This, because, as sure as
daylight follows darkness, the harbin-
gers of the most wonderful and perma-
nent prosperity which West Florida has
ever enjoyed, are visible to the most
casual observer everywhere in Satsu-
maland-outslde or Pensacola. And the
reason those harbingers of prosperity

Conditions Better In
Moore Haven Flood
(Rv Associated Press

MOORE HAVEN, Fla. Dec. 4.-HTarked
Improvement from an industrial stand
point was noted in flood stricken sections
around Moore Haven today, when the
first plowing was begun since the high
water overran the fields. Weeks and
Greene commenced operations on a 40
acre field, for the sowing Of a winter
crop of cabbage.
The movement of beans from the lake
section below Clewfston has gotten un-
der way. An average OF 100 crates a
day Is being received here from that
section
Growers in this section are now ex-
periencing their greatest embarrassment
in the matter Of financing planting and
the care of their crops. The closing of
Moore Haven's two banks has tied up
money.
