HE, WHO WASTES A
CRUST OF BREAD
PROLONGS THE
WAR
ROBERT EMMET
Today will be celebrated near and
far as the birthday of Robert Emmet the
young Irish revolutionist who failing
in an effort to capture Dublin Castle
and giving away to the overmastering
passion, which was his for his sweet
heart Mary Curran, was taken prisoner
and sentenced by Lord Norburg to be
hung, drawn and quartered, as the
Christian civilization of the United
Kingdom, provided for all who are
guilty of High Treason against the
realm.
Emmet lived during and felt the in
fluence of the American and French
revolutions. It is a fact that the Amer
ican revollution scemled to make a much
greater impression in Ireland, than in
any other part of the European conti
nent. Naturallj enough it was far
from being a proletarian revolution.
The fact is that some of the noblest
patriots who took part as the aggres
sive volunteers were shack-renters of
the worst possible type, with an ideal
of liberty confined exclusively to their
own aristocratic class. The sordid
misery of the Irish peasantry, cruelly
exploited by a debauched and spend
thrift ltindlordism was none the less
horrible because these spenlthrift land
lords were "patriots” of the advanced
type. The movement was a middle
elass movement conducted in the In
terests of Irish trade which suffered
severely at the hands of the British
restrictive laws. And even though that
movement triumphed and England’s
difficulty proved Ireland's opportunity,
the amount of praise lavished n|«>n the
lords and aristocrats wha helped it are
altogether unwarranted.
Hut the movement gave birth to an
other and a totally different one. For
upon that movement w.u. grafted the
thoughts and hopes and ideal« of the
French Revolution. This was the Uni
ted Irish Society, which believed not
only in absolute religious tolerance,
but believed In the economic emanci
pation as well. Many of the leaders
of that movement were free thinkers,
and the United Irish Society developed
a purer and more earnest patriotism
than ever existed before or since in the
Kingdom of Ireland. The headquarters
were devided between Dublin and Bel
fast, and even Trinity College in Dub
lin was a hotbed of revolutionary ideas
which believed not only in freedom in
theory, but freedom, mental and physi
cal, in the reality of life.
To hear some of the present day
spellbinding spouters exhaust their
knowledge about these things one
would imagine that the men who led
this movement, whether the Belfast
men or the Dublin men were actuated
by the sickly thing, that today passes
muster for the nationalist asperations
of the country. But that is because
the influence of the French revolution
has been completely overlooked.
Robert Kmanct, joined the United
Irish Society while a student in Trinity
College and was expelled for his con
nection with it. In that university he
had some distinguished School-mates
among whom were Thomas M4oorr who
aft i wards, wrote some dolorous lu
men's iqron his sad fate and upon the
lot of his sweatheart Mary Curran.
Most everybody has heard or roe ’ of
his eloquent speech from the dock. Its
authenticity is doubted.
We know today that several utter
ances made therein were deliveied by
Kminet. History tells ns that His visit
to Fram e and the evidence of an ap
proaching .autocracy made him sus
picious of that country, and that he,
undoubtedly repudiated the idea of his
ever seeing Ireland an appendage of
France. Kminet was heart and sold a
revolutionist. He believed that Ireland;
as a nation separate and distinct could,
work out its own destiny, and it is
positively known that he determined to
rely upon the “sansculottes" of his na- |
five land to effect its freedom. It is |
righly probable that incidents connect- i
ed with tlie trial were colored by sen-i
timentalism, but it was a scene that
i
I was well calculated to arrouse the emo
| tions.
Emmet was young, the hero of a
nation, thy lover of it very handsome

woman. hhncelf well set up and dash
ing: In appeanance, with a national
gift for oratory, it was to have been
expected that it would impress ail
present even if they were hardened
by long experience to justsuch trials,
which were, as still happens at the
present time, simply a legalized form
to justify murder .and a rupture of the
code "Thou slialt not kiU” "society
loves formalities.”
Owing bo the fact that Emmet was
such as we stated, it is no wonder
that religion and romance have done
so much to disguise the real rebel.
It is no .wonder that the very men
oftentimes, who worship at his memory
in outward shows, by their very lives
are a living repudation o fthe freedom
for which he sought, for the real Em
met and the Emmet they understand,
are as different ns chalk and cheese.
The dream of Emmet of a free peo
ple. mentally and economically free—
free alike from landlordism and imper
ialism, Is a dream that seems to be as
far off realization as ever.
For the man and the lesson of the
man’s life is most shamefully hidden,
or most atrociously misunderstood. The
nation that he had in mind was a
real nation; the freedom that he had
in mind was to spring from the ragged
populace of the cities and the equally
ragged peasantry of the fields, it was
to be free and open,—clear and pure,
as fresh and as inspiring as a spring
among the beautiful dells of KilHarncy.
There is a tide in the affairs cf men
which.
Taken at the flood, leads on to fortune.
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
Eternal spirit of the chainless mind,
Greatest in dungeons, Liberty thou art!
Oh how full of briars is this working
day world!
The dream of Emmet's will never
die, and the foes that were his must,
whatever be the name of the exploiters,
all eventually fall before tlie immor
tality of the dreamer.
(The following is quoted from page
ITS, Vol. VIII, Encyclopaedia Britan
nica. Ed.)
"Uobert Emmet was l>orn in Dublin
on -March 4th 1778. He was a school
fellow of the poet Thomas Moore, and
his senior by a year at Trinity College,
Dublin. Both were members of the
Historical Society, arid the great cham
pions of the popular side. In 1798
Emmet was expelled from the Univer
sity, on the ground of being connected
with the association of the United
Irishmen. He shortly afterwards went
to the Continent, and remained there
until 1802, when he returned secretly
to Dublin, and endeavored to plan a
general Irish revoluton. On the 20 day
of July 1803, deeming that the time
had come to execute his scheme, he
made an attempt to seize the arsenal
and castle of Dublin; but the mob
which he headed scarcely achieved so
much as a serious riot, for they dis
persed at the first military volley. Em
met fled to the Wicklow mountains,
and perceived that success was now
imposslblle, resolved to escape to the
Continent; but, contrary to the advice
of his friends, he attempted to have a
l:cst interview with the lady to whom
he wtas attached, a daughter oftCurran,
the celebrated barrister. The delay
proved fatal to him.
♦ He was apprehended, and committed
for trial on the charge of higli treason.
He defended himself in a speech of
remarkable eloquence, but was con
demned to death, and on September
20, 1803, was executel in St Thomas
Street, Dublin. Moore, in one of his
most pathetic of his Irish melodies,
“O breathe not his name”, commem
orates Emlmet’s fate; and that of Miss
Curran, who died in Sicily soon after
him, is the subject of another, “She is
far from the land where her young
hero sleeps."
Although it must be allowed that
the conduct of Einimet in ris revolu
tionary attempt was rash and mistaken,
the high purity and unselfishness of his
intentions have never been questioned.

First thing we know we're going to have a Bone Dry country
out and out. Already the mighty prohibition wuve is engulfing
“demon rum" and the flood gates of righteous antagonism against
John Barleycorn is going to sweep him into everlasting oblivion.
Thousands of men in the country over are going to shortly find it
impossible to get their daily, most of them their hourly “nips’*
and those fellows are going to look up the best bottled drink they
can get to wet their whistles with. They are not going to “get
off” booze, and drink any pink “tea slop” Oh no—they want
something with a delightful relish—a sparkle and a zest and the
AKSALA drink is going to fill the bill to a T-Y-T. Wets every
spot in the internal arid district, souks it down good. No dust
left in your throat after a bottle of AKSALA For sale every
where.
