THE TRUTH ABOUT IRELAND. 4 Solutions of Irish Problem Before British Government THE GREAT AMERICAN HOME t SAVE THE SUPREME COURT FOR PROPERTY, URGES TAFT. x The purity and greatness of the Supreme Court of the United States is something that is dear to every American's heart, and the fact that four new members very probably will be appointed by the a next president is a matter for deep consideration in this election. Four members of the court are now eligible for retirement on account of age, and it is probable there will be four vacancies on the court to be filled.’ / j people, therefore, will ponder the point recently B macie by Governor Cox to the effect that the senatorial oligarchy has a * m i!? 1 °t^ y conkr °l k ^ e executive through the election |1 P* Senator Harding, but through him the appointment of four mem bers of the United States Supreme Court, and thus, to bind the coun try to reaction for the better part of a generation. Bu if anyone should doubt what Cox says about this, on the * ? ou ., that,he. takes a partisan view, perhaps the opinion of former President Taft will appeal. ‘ Jfftlet the cat out of the bag recently in an article he wrote for the Yale Review in which he said that the greatest domestic issue in 1 this election is the maintenance of the Supreme Court as the bul _ • moiiiicnaiiLc ui uic supreme v~ourt as the bul wark to enforce the guaranty that no man shall be deprived of his | property without due process of law.*' j property without due process of law. That is merely the ponderous Taft way of saying that the Su preme Court must be maintained as the bulwark of property rights as against human rights. In this article Taft says that- of the three Supreme Court ap- ARTICLE II _ By C. C. LYONS BELFAST, Ireland, Oct. 28—The Irish political situation is a great puzzle and I haven't met anybody— Englishman or Irishman—who has a definite idea how it is going to be solved. There are at least four possible solutions: 1. A republic. 2. Dominion Home Rule. 3. Separate Home Rule for Uls ter and separate Home Rule for the rest of Ireland. 4. Subdue the island with Brit ish soldiers and continue the prevent plan. Number 4 is the least likely. The best British thought on the subject is agreed present conditions in Ire land are intolerable, and that Brit-1 ain must shortly announce a new! policy. Scotland and Wales could be invad ed from Ireland. If Ireland were 3,000 miles from England, I believe our government would give her any thing she wants and be jolly well glad to be rid of her. For hundreds of years she has given us nothing but trouble." Domination Home Rule for Ire land would mean the Irish people would have a parliament and premie* and run their own affairs, with the same freedom Canada or Australia enjoy. But blocking this is Ulster’s threat she will join in a government with the rest of Ireland. Moreover, Brit ish statesmen know that once com plete Dominion Home Rule is given Ireland it would take only the pas sage of an act by the Irish Parlia ment to sever all connection with th< Empire. It is a foregone conclusion if Do It may be safely said Britain will! minion Home Rule is put into effect not voluntarily permit Ireland to it will be only a very short time un sever connection with the empire andj til the Irish Parliament will declare establish a republic. ( for complete separation. Here enters the time-worn argu j Lloyd George’s last proposal, a ment of war strategy. It is this, parliament for Catholic Ireland and repeated to me by a high British of- another for Protestant Ulster, is ridi- ficer in Ireland: j culed throughout all the Catholic E°*’ her own peace and safety,! counties. In Ulster, the overwhelm- t.reat Britain doesn t dare permit) ing sentiment is in favor of stick- the establishment of an unfriendly ing with Britain government at her very door. In Meanwhile, as British statesmen the event of war, Ireland might per- consider the problem, the general mit her ports to be used as navai slaughter of soldiers, constables and bases, to our enemies and England. 1 civilians continues „ Confessions ofaBride 1^ yCopyignt 1920, by nje^u^pa^Efiterpri^AsodatinnJ THE BOOK OF DEBORAH.

N° AN ELECTION MYSTERY. h Some millions of American men and women will go to the polls I m Nov. 2 and come away under the impression that they have voted or either Senator Harding or Governor Cox, of Ohio, for president- What they have done is to have voted for a certain group of f lectors. It is these men. 531 of them, who really cast the vote that j lects a president. And 266 votes will accomplish that. The reason 41 ilks know “who is elected” before they go to bed on election night. Sat it is absolutely certain just how each group of presidential elec in each date will vote if chosen. For 124 years no presidential elector among some 60.000, more less, has ever violated that understanding. ^ TheyuceeMful groups of electors meet in the capitol on the sec- a Dnghte ..id Monday in January and cast -the votes of their states for presi- -lent and .vice president.
