CONCERNING THE IRISH
Ireland Is still in the throes of a
very bitter contest, seemingly con
fined to Irish patriots. The settle
ment of the status of Ireland as a
dominion of the British Empire has
eliminated the English from that
same degree of direct supervision and
danger as formerly was apparent. Th§
English parent has absolved itself ol
the duty of keeping order and prevent
ing assassinations and reprisals of
various sorts. The Dill has been
•.igned and the status of the Irish Free
State definitely determined.
In view’ of the fight that was waged
for perfect freedom, as it was termed,
there is bound to be some flarebacks,
but they are largely concerned with
the Irish themselves and they seem to
be engaged in a regulai assassination
bee again, the government taking the
lives of rebels and the rebels assassi
nating the officials as fast as they can
be found.
Such a condition is bad for Ireland
and for its people. The only common
ground on which they can settle thei!
quarrel is the accpetance of the do
minion status. It has Deen determined
by a majority vote, and as such Is en
titled to its sincerest acceptance of
the minority, which, so far, has failed
to exert any efforts except to disrupt
the arrangements and create as much
rebelion and slaughter as Is possible.
The question is decidedly Irish now
and as such it will be settled when
the minority realizes the futility of
continuing the struggle against the
majority at home. There is a differ
ence between fighting against an
Irish majority on the part of a minori
ty and the fighting of an Irish ma
Jority against an English minority, se
cured fof the purpose of putting into
effect distasteful and irreconcilable
regulatory processes. England has
eased the burden to Ireland and it
rests still heavily rn certain sections
of that blood-infested land.
THE CRAWFORD LONG MEMORIAL
The movement to raise a fund of
U0.000 to place a statte of Dr. Craw
ford W. Long in the National Statuary
Hall will meet with a ready response
the part of patriotic Georgian*
Nearly twenty years ago, Dr. Long,
who first applied the theory of anaes
thesia to medical practice, and Alexan
der H. Stephens, rice president of the
Confederacy and Georgia’s greatest
statesman, were selected by legislative
resolution, as the two foremost citi
zens in the history of the state and
the two whose statues should repre
sent the state in Statuary Hall.
The legislature being without con
stitutional authority to appropriate
money to provide the statues, the
matter has been allowed to drag along,
to Georgia’s shame. That this belated
move will meet with success there can
be no doubt. Citizens of Clarke coun
ty, the home of Dr. Long, have already
pledged $1,000 toward the fund. The
movement to provide the Long statue
W H1, undoubtedly, be followed to pro
vide to similar statue of Stephens.
Writing in the Atlanta Journal, John
Biofeuillet gives some interesting
information regarding the establish
ment of Statuary Hall, together wltn
the names of those Americans whose
statues are now in the hall and the
cost of some of them. There are fifty
statues In the hall, all but one o!

DEMOCRATS JUMP 1
ON THE SHIPPING BILL
WITH GREAT VIGOR
Washington Dec. 12.—The ad-.
ministration snipping bill wa* taken,
up yesterday by the senate ami was
subjected immediately to a baptism
of fire by democratic opponents.
Chairman Jones of the"commerce
committee, which reported the bill
Saturday after making several
changes in the house draft, called up
the measure. His opening statement
in behalf of the legislation, however
went over until today, because of the
time consumed by the democrats in
several attacks on the measure and
by the the reading of the bill and
both majority with a demand by
Senator Fletcher of Florida, ranking
democratic member of the commerce
committee.
The democrats started their attack
as soon as Chairman. Jonea made
his first move in the legislature strug
gle which is expected to occupy the
senate for weeks. Senator Jones
proposed first that the senate pro
ceed to immediate consideration of
the ship bill but objection from the
democratic side blocked this move
until after the regular calendar had
