ANOTHER SOLUTION OF IRISH
PROBLEM
The latest proposal put forward
with a view to settling the Irish ques
tion is to have a new convention, and
to make it an elective constituent as
sembly to prepare and publish a de
tailed scheme for Irish self-govern
ment. This suggestion emerges from
the office of the Irish Proportional
Representation Society.
The last convention was a nominat
ed body chosen by the government
and, though it included many men of
representative position, the people
had no voice in its selection. The
new convention, it is urged, should
give real self-determination by letting
the people choose their own represen
tatives.
The argument that Ireland has al
ready chosen its representatives and
made them mostly Sinn Fein repub
licans is met by an examination of
the figures of the last election with a
view' to providing that the result
greatly exaggerated the preponder
ance of the republicans.
The contention is that the only
true way to arrive at Irish opinion is
by proportional representation. It is
suggested that the new' convention
should consist of 105 members elected
by the existing constituencies so
grouped as to have ten memlsers to
each group, each elector having a
single transferable vote. The sole
function of the convention would
be to prepare a scheme- of self-gov
ernment.
In Sinn quarters the plan finds no
favor, and there is no reason to sup
pose that they would officially recog
nize the new convention any more
than the old one. The Ulster party,
which came into the old convention,
would be hostile to the new' one. The
antagonists on both extremes “stand
pat.”
ASSAULT ON FREE SPEECH
Senator Cummins of Iowa has been
mr.de chairman of a sub-committee of
the senate judiciary committee to
which have been referred the various
peace-time sedition laws recently in
troduced in congress. On this com
mittee, for the time being, rests the
responsibility of deciding whether we
are to have repressive laws in regard
to freedom of speech, of press and of
assemblage as one of our heritages
from the war.
The National Civil Liberties Bu
reau is taking an active interest in
the matter, and in answer to a letter
sent out by them to a number of
prominent men, has received some in
teresting opinions. E. A. Ross, pro
fessor of political economy in the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, a man whose
opinion is often sought in matters of
governmental nature, speaks very
emphatically. •
“I protest against a sedition law
in peace time,” says Professor Ross.
“By abandoning the policy of free
utterance which for nearly one hun
dred and thirty years has been our
glory, this nation would show weak
ness and fear. If bitter utterances
are on the increase, the remedies are
education and the redress of concrete
evils, not repression. By entering on
this well-worn path, we confess that
our government is not as secure in
the affections of its people as abso
lutistic governments. It should be
the privilege of democracy to smile
at utterances which throw authority
into panic.”
Grigsby probably made his maiden
speech in the house of representatives
in support of the Alaska railroad ap
propriation. It is nothing to his dis
credit that the house passed the meas
ure unanimously. 1
INCONVENIENCE
IS OCCASIONED
BY GAS STRIKE
SEATTLE, Sept. 8 (by Associated
Press).—The gas workers here struck
on Saturday, compelling the news
papers to resort to hand composition
in getting out their editions, on ac
count of lack of heat for the linotype
machines. Some cf the restaurants
were compelled to close.
Although the supply of gas is not
entirely shut off, it is very low. It
is expected that a ettlement will be
leached soon.
Strike Affects Theaters
PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 8 (by As
sociated Press).—The operators in
the movie theaters here are on strike
in an effort to enforce the employ
ment of union orchestras. Non-union
men have replaced the strikers, and
the shows continue.
BELIEVE AVIATORS
LOST THEIR LIVES
ON MEXICAN SOIL
SAN DIEGO, Sept. 8 (by Associated
Press).—Lieutenants Waterhouse and
Connolly, the missing aviators, are
believed to be dead by Major O. R.
Cauley, who has just returned from
his third trip over Lower California
in search of them.
The searching expeditions are con
tinuing their efforts to locate the
missing aviators.
STURDY BRITISH TAR
IS TAKEN BY DEATH
LONDON, Sept. S (by Associated
Press)—Admiral Baron Charles Beres
ford, retired, died of apoplexy here
yesterday.
Admiral Beresford first gained dis
tinction at the bombardment of Al
exandria by a British fleet in 1882,
and served on the active list of the
British navy until a few years before
the great war. He had for many
years been considered one of the
authorities on armament and con
duction of navy vesels.
THE ROPE IN SCOUTING.
Scout Executive Lawrence Harris of
Hammond, Ind., has submitted the fact
that a mere piece of rope is of great
recruiting value. When he meets a
boy who is not a scout he brings the
rope into play, goes through a few
stunts, and soon another lad becomes
a scout.
BOY SCOUT DOINGS.
I
The Silver Fox patrol of Boy Scout
Troop No. 2 of Zanesville, O., took up
a collection for a needy man who was
on his death bed.
Scouts in Sylvania, O., have been ac
tive in keeping the community in or
der. They cleaned the snow from the
sidewalks and kept the gutters open.
A course in scouting has been open
ed at Creighton university of Omaha,
Neb. Father F. K.-McMenamy, presi
dent of Creighton, declared his hearty
approval of the boy scout movement.
Havana's High-Sounding Name,
The full name of the capital of
Cuba is San Christobal de la Habana.
In 1834 a royal decree conferred upon
the city the sounding title, “Llave del
Nuevo Mundo y Antemural de las In
dies Occidentales,” which signifies
“Key of the New World and Bulwark
of the West Indies.” In emphasis,
the coat-of-arms of the municipality
hears a symbolic key and representa
tions of the fortresses of Morro, Punta
and Fuerza.
In 1G50 the city rose to he the com
mercial center of the Spanish-Ameri?
can possessions, and ihe principal ren
dezvous of the royal fleets that car
ried on the trade monopoly between
Spain and America.
