EXCLAM»'S difficulty.
John Mitchell an Irish rebel con
nected with what i3 called Young
Ireland movement In the forties of
the lest century, culminating in au
inglorious collapse in ’48, used to
insist that England's difficulty was
Ireland’s opportunity.
Not in a hundrod years has Eng
land been confronted with any such
a difficulty as it now faces, and the
time would appear to be ripe for ac
tion along the counsel of the leaders
of the ‘4 8 movement.
Hut much has changed since those
day3, and not least the views of the
Irish people themselves. They have
been fed upon politics and parlia
mentarianism and the physical forc
ists have been voices crying in the
wilderness of praliamentary debates.
The organlaztion or such an un
compromisingly radical movement as
the Soin Finn, found only a hall
hearted support among a people
whose ideals were not much different
from the ideals across the water,
or the peasantry who after years ot
agrarian struggle which had been
killed with the kindness of Land
Purchase acts and other things,
lapsed into the contentment of the
type which is satisfied so long as its
oats is harvested and markotted and
the potatoes sell at a satisfactory
price per bushel.
The militant patriotism . of the
Young Ireland movement and the
Fenians had submerged itself in the
half hearted political effort that
worked its agricultural laborers tlr;
limit in time and the least in pay.
while groaning because the land
lord refused to it a 20 per cent re
duction in the rents they could only
take out of the laborer’s hide. Tills
effort reaches its climax at a League
meeting where say, Mr. James
O'Toole discussed the coercion act.
and after Father Kelly P. P. had
urged all to contribute liberally to
the Irish Parliamentary fund, the
band discoursed a choice selection
of national airs”.
In such there was hardly to bs
discerned even the embers of the
fires of ’98 or the spiritual re
nascence of the ’48 movement. Yet
withal there surely lived many a
man in whom there still existed the
hope that the day would come when
England's difficulty would be Ire
land's opportunity.
To forecast future events however
is dangerous policy. But it is al
most to be hazarded with some de
gree of surety that this revolt if it
can be called such, now reported,
is doomed to an even speedier ex
tinction than that which overwhelm
ed other abortive up-risings. A coun
try or a race fed upon the pap ot
parliamentarianism is little adapted
to the violence of a rebellion. It is
certainly true that he national aims
insist have widened into a plain ot
idealism in which the sordid ma
terialism of political shenanigan has
no part, before the people will be
ready to shed their heart's blood
for what is in the last analysis a
sentiment.
The men who scrambled for jobs
in (lie Hoyal Irish Constabulary, for
positions on petty governing boards,
for the hire of Dublin Castle,, are
not likely to suffer from any super
ftuous enthusiasm to risk their necks
in any chasing of the phanthom of
national Independence in the strict
literal sense of the term.
Every cent in a savings bank in
Ireland, every acre owned by a man
every store well stocked, every
baruyard well found, is a buttress or
British rule in Ireland and a fost
erer of a sentiment which would
leave well enough alone and deplore
any instability of social things might
follow an up-rising.
We know that the viewpoint ot
most Irishment is entirely different
to this; that long exiled or but a
short while they have fod the emb
ers of the fires of nationalism with
the undying zeal of their heart’s
fervor.
But this is a material world where
facts based upon material motives
have been the impelling force in
every age, time and country. Those
who are well would leave well
enough alone. The revolution In
any age Is fed by the Have-Nots,
never by the Haves. No word jugg
ling in the interest of patriotic senti
ment or nationalist impulse cau
change this somewhat somber fact.
And it certainly is a laments' le
future to foresee that a revolution
lacking the united force of a
united people is bound almost in the
beginning to be nipped in the bud.
As we see it, two forces are at
work with considerable activity In
this Irish revolt, which cannot be
considered as of immediately con
cerned in its success. That is to say
the British government has its
treacherous spies working in the
ranks of the rebels, the Gorman
government has its agitators also
urging to action. The former is in
timately concerned with providing a
premature up-rising, the latter an
up-rising any how so that it in
volves Great Britain as an enemy
in difficulties. Between the two the
men with unsullied motives an l
without sordid impulse, but nothing
but the generous instincts of their
love of country are bound to be the
goat.
ALICK IX Kl'MOKLAM).
By Richard Henry Little.
“This wav, this way!” shouted
the Mad Hatter, "hurry up, or you
can't see them mako it. They arc
ready right this minute. Hurry up,
hurry up!”
“What is it they are making?
gasped Alice, running as hard as
she could.
“Sho doesn't know where she is,’
said the White Rabbit.
“She doesn't know where she is,”
said the Cheshire Cat.
“But why do you not tell we
where 1 am?” indignantly cliea
Alice.
‘You are in Rumorland,” volun
teered the White Rabbit. “This is
the place the rumors come from.”
“Come quick,” shouted the Mao
Hatter, waving his arms and point
ing, “here is where the Jap war ru
mors are made.”
Rushing over to the spot pointed
out by the Mad Hatter, Alice stooa
in amazement as eager workmen, ail
working desperately, rushed around
her.
“Look out, there,” shouted the
Cheshire Cat, “stand back from the
ropes and look out for the blast.”
“My, they are making something
terribly big,” gasped Alice; “what is
it?”
“Oh, this is a most important
work," declared the Gryphon; “they
have been wfeeks working on this,
and it’s almost ready to send out
from the works.”
“What is it?” again demanded
Alice. •
“This is one of the new model,
high powered war scares," said the
White Rabbit. “You see it has five
or six thousand Jap soldiers in it
and a lot of ships and things like
that to make it real interesting.
They are going to capure San Fran
cisco and paint all the Democrats in
the town a bright purple.”
“Oh, that’s a perfect outrage,”
said Alice. “Why don't they paint
all the Republicans, too?”
“1 don’t know,” replied the White
Rabbit, shaking his head, “but it
wouldn’t be as good. You see, tlu
idea of painting all the l em lcrats
purple makes the story weird and
more exciting. If everybody was
painted the thing would ,ruT novel
ty. You see, that is what the
master workman does. Anybody
around here can fix up a story, but
it takes an artist to put in the
little touch that makes the whole
.world gasp when the thing is <l-\qe.’'
“How very exciting!” declared
Alice. “Let me see more of the
things they are doing.
“Well, over here," said the
Gryphon, “they are making tick
tacks to hang on Congressman Dob
son’s window at night. Each tick
tack looks just like a Jap.’’
“And right here,” observed the
White Rabbit, “you see they are
assembling a large force of carpent
ers with hand saws."
“What are they for?” asked Alice.
“They are going to land near San
Diego some fine night and saw the
peninsula of Lower California off
from the mainland and then tow It
out into the middle of the Pacific
and bore a hole in it and sink
it.”
“Pooh!” said Alice, “who cares?”
“But after they got through with
that job.” said the Gryphon, “they
are going back and saw the whole
state of California loose. And over
here, you see, they have the Japan
ese emperor. They are disguishing
him as a Belgian apple woman, and
very soon you will hear him selling
apples to the workingmen on the
canal. In each apple is a pound of
dynamite. What do you know about
that?”
“That is a cunning thing the
workmen are making over there,'
said Alice. “What is that?"
“That is a tunnel under the Paci
fic ocean,” explained the Cheshire
Cat. “It starts in Toko and comes
up in the center of Chicago, south
of the Art Institute.”
“Oh, goody!” exclaimed Alice,
clapping her hands. "Then we
wont have to build a subway in
Chicago; the Japanese are building
it for us.”
i ou will noi laugn wnen me
Japanese army swarms out of that
tunnel like so many million ants,"
said the Cheshire Cat.
“No.” said Alice, her face sadden
ing. "I know what that will mean.
Somebody will get up a benefit foi
them and everybody will have to sell
tickets and I'll have to buy a Japan
ese dress and dance.”
“That's none of our affair," said
the Cheshire Cat, crossly. “We're
just tolling you what we've got here
We don't care what you do when
it happens or when it don’t hap
pen.”
“Well, what are they doing there?’
asked Alice.
“They are teaching the Japanese
army to ride on whales,” replied
the Gryphon. “Of course, some ol
the things they turn out from Ru
morland don't meet with a ready
sale. Lots of the goods are neve:
called for and consequently nevei
get out of the warehouse. So they
have to have something good aim
snappy, a sure-fire proposition, yon
see, to take its place. Now ovei
here they are teaching the Japan
ese army to ride on whales. It's
a sort of whale cavalry. The idea
is that if the Japs don't cross over
in the tunnel they will ride on the
backs of the whales.”
“I should think you would semi
them over in ships,” observed Alice
“There is nothing artistic, no
thing that grips the imagination, in
sending the Japs over on ships,” said
the White Rabbit. “We’ve sent out
that story several times and nobody
pays any attention to. it. Bat yon
wait until we got this story all
made. Think of 50,000 whales
each one with 200 Japs armed tc
the teeth on his back, swimming
boldly across the Pacific. Now
there’s something that will grip th«
interest of everyone. There's a
story that's got the punch.”
"It’s all very interesting," said
Alice. “I thank you very much.”
“Not at all,” said tho Mad Hatter
“this way out.”
