ITEARST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA, OA., SUNDAY, AUGUST 24, 1913.
Irish Societies Leader
Thanks Mr. Hearst for
Support of Home Rule
American Hibernians Respond
Liberally to Appeal Made After
Great Demonstration in Chicago
Against England’s Domination.
Another Feature of Meeting Was
Adoption of a Resolution Con
demning Great Britain's Policy
Toward U. S. in Canal Dispute.
CHrCAOO, Aug. 23.—Following the
gigantic demonstration for Irish horn*
rule at the thirty-eighth annual pic
nic of the United Irish Societies of
Chicago, held in Brands Park, sons* of
Erin here are confident that in a few
weeks American Hibernians will ha w e
raised a fund that will insure th^
home rule for which they have fought
so long and which they have almost
brought about
Fifteen tnousand persons visited
the park during the day and they re-
eponded liberally to the call for funds
with which to carry on their cam
paign. Three thousand dollars was
raised at that time and the fund has
grown steadily since.
A feature of the occasion was the
reading by James T. (Mark, president
of the United Irish Societies, of a
telegram from William Randolph
Hearst, in which he warmly favored
home rule. The president was quick
to reply, expressing the thanks of the
societies for the co-operation they
have received in their work from Mr.
Hearst’s papers.
British Canal Stand Scored.
Another important feature of the
day was the resolution prepared in
advance and passed by a unanimous
vote, opposing the British contention
over the Panama Canal tolls.
The revolutions strongly uphold the
view* of the United States that this
country, having built the canal and
paid for 1t without aid. should have
the right of passing her own ships
through it without paying tolls, ami
that this action of the United States
is entirely within its rights as a na
tion and is not subject to the criti
cism of any other nation.
The work of John Redmond, parlia
mentary leader, in forcing the home
rule bill to the verge of final passage
also was commended highly.
One of the most impressive features
of th* occasion was the exhibition of
a fuTF-siee model of the statue of Col
onel F. Finerty. the famous soldier-
journalist and a son of whom Erin
is very proud.
Colonel Finerty wrote the story of
the Custer campaign against old Kit
ting Bull, and the massacre in which
Custer's whole command was wiped
out. In his later years Colonel Fin
erty was editor of the Irish-American,
and devoted all his energies to the
home rule campaign, now so nearly
won.
Work of Irish Sculptor.
The splendid statue of the old fight
er is the work of Professor Charles
J. Mulligan, of the Art Institute, a
pupil of MaeMonnies and Saint-Gaud -
dens.
Among the speakers who addressed
the enthusiastic throng were United
States Senator George E. Chamber-
lain of Oregon, former Attorney Gen
eral Maurice T. Maloney, P. H.
O’Donnell. Joseph E. Ryan. John T.
Sutton, of Lincoln. Neb., and Harry
W. Smith, of Springfield, Ill.
In part, Mr. Maloney said: "We of
the Celtic race have always struggled
for a place in the sun, and have made
a good deal of history, but we have
been accused in the past of not be
ing quite what we ought to be in the
old country, and did not act to our
own interest, English misgovern-
ment and oppression were solely to
blame for this.
"Now I can see a new' Ireland rising
above the horizon, a nation once
again. The Irish people had advanc
ed with giant strides, now that the
long tribulation of our night is pass
ing away.’
Senator Twists Lion’s Tail.
United States Senator George E.
Chamberlain of Oregon said:
“My people came to this country
to avoid persecution in the mother
country, persecution by the English
Government. Ireland had no meas
ure of freedom in those times."
Speaking on the Panama Canal, he
said: "We have a perfect right to
arrange to suit ourselves charges on
a canal that was made in America,
solely by American money. If Eng
land will not send her exhibits to the
San Francisco Exposition on this ac
count. I would say let her keep them
at home.
“If we w r ere not careful to with
stand these encroachments of the
British Government, we might in the
end find ourselves in the same case
as Ireland finds herself to-day. I
foresee home rule for that country,
within the next two or three years
without question of doubt”

C ORDIAL telegrams of congratulation and thanks wore ex
changed between William Randolph Hearst, and .James T.
I Clark, president, of the United Irish Societies of Chicago on
the occasion of their annual picnic recently. Mr. Hearst expressed
his belief in the justness ami the ultimate success of the cause of
home rule, while the head of the Irish societies in his reply earn-
|estly thanked the publisher for his co-operation in their work in
behalf of their fatherland. Mr. Clark’s message follows:
CHICAGO, Aug. 20, 1913.
Hon. William Randolph Hearst,
San Francisco.
The sentiment of the United Irish Societies toward your pa
pers has always been one of appreciation. Often In the past we
have admired your unselfish advocacy of the cause of liberty and
the 15,000 Irish-Amerlcans at the ceremony of unveiling of the
John F. Finerty monument were thrilled by your message In fa
vor of home rule for Ireland. This monument Is symbolic of the
revitalized Irish nation that has been the Inspiration of Parnell,
Redmond and other patriots, and we believe It would strengthen
the home rule cause Immeasurably If you would publish in your
Sunday papers. In the near future, a comprehensive account of
our recent demonstration here, and emphasize Its significance to
Irish liberty.
JAS. T. CLARK, President,
United Irish Societies.
Mr. Hearst 9 8 Home Rule Message
Hau Francisco, Aug. 15.
As au American believing ardently in liberty and oppor
tunity in equal rights and equal justice, I believe sincerely in
home rule for Ireland.
If 1 were an Englishman I would believe with even great
er earnestness in home rule not only for Ireland, but for every
individual integral part of the British Empire.
I would believe in genuine home rule and in general home
rule. I would believe in home rule which would insure com
plete independence in local government for every state and
in a general government which would afford every state equal
rights, equal liberties and proportionate representation.
Such just and genuine home rule is the best and perhaps
Hie only remedy for the threatened decadence and possible
dissolution of the British Empire. The preservation and per
petuation of the British Empire in its full prestige and power
are only to be found in a voluntary federation of independent
states, not held together loosely by compulsion, but molded
into an imperial entity by the natural and nationalizing forces
of mutual confidence, mutual affection and mutual interest.
If 1 were an Irishman 1 would take pride in this fight for
home rule, first, because of the benefit I was helping to confer
upon my own country and my own countrymen, and, secondly,
because of the benefit which will inevitably ensue to all other
sections of the British Empire and to other nations through
out the world.

Standardize Book to
Simplify Grammar
Educators Work to Have Study of
English Language Made More
Uniform.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Aug. 23.—
Standardization of grammatical nomen
clature. which will do away with the
oonfuslon in the study of English, as
well as other languages, in American
schools, has been effected by a commit
tee of fifteen, of which Professor Hills,
of Colorado College, was a member.
The committee made a report to the
National Educational Association in
convention at Salt I^ake City and its
adoption without amendment virtually
Insures the following of the committee's
recommendations in all schools and col
leges.
According to Professor Hills it was
found that in the sentence "John Is
good." the word "good" was called by
nine different names in 25 grammars;
th«- word "John" in "This is John." was
called by nineteen terms, ami in "We
made John president,” the word "presi
dent" was given eighteen different
names in the text books examined.

New York Governor’s Foes Call
Wife’s Illness a Sham and
Confession a Ruse.
ALBANY, N. Y._ Aug. 23.—Appar-
ently deadlocked until the High Court
of Impeachment meets September 18
to try the charges of high crimes and
misdemeanors against Governor Wil
liam Sulzer, # both the accused Execu
tive and Lieutenant Governor Martin
Glynn are busy, the one strengthening
his defense, the othe^* preparing to in
vigorate his attack. In the meantime,
the official business of the Empire
State is at a standstill.
The government of New York pre
sents a paradox unique to republican
government. The State has two Gov
ernors, and It has none. Two men
maintain they have the right to trans
act the State’s business. No business
Is being transacted.
And In this struggle for power, the
battle seemingly centers about a
woman, a woman who has no voice in
the government, who is not even al
lowed to vote under the statutes of
the State.
Wife’s Illness Questioned.
In addition to the law' point raised
by the defenders of Sulzer that he
can not be impeached or tried for
things he did before he took the oath
of office, the defense lays greatest
stock on the declaration by Sulzer’s
wife that she. not the Governor, used
checks he had received as campaign
contributions to speculate on the stock
market.
On the other hand, it is learned that
the Frawley Committee, which
brought to light the charges on which
the Governor was impeached, will
make her confession the subject of a
rigid examination to shatter, if pos
sible. the defense, which will be based
largely on her statement.
In the meantime, Mrs. Sulzer, It is
reported, is dangerously ill, her nerves
broken, it is said, under the strain
which she has Experienced since the
charges were brought against her
husband.
8ul»er’s enemies even question this
illness. They question it so seriously
that it, too, Is to be investigated. The
first step in this investigation,
Both Accused of “Shamming.”
The committee believes that "talk
ing too much” consisted of telling sto
ries of Mrs. Sulzer’s true condition
which were not to the liking of the
Governor. An Inkling of this purpose
was contained in an interview with
Assembly Majority Leader Aaron J .
Levy, who declared:
"Not only is Mrs. Sulzer’s confes
sion a sham, but the pretended illness
of Mrs. Sulzer Is a sham, of which
William Sulzer is the chief perpe
trator.”
However, should Sulzer be re
moved from office by Tammany votes,
with all the judges of the Court of
Appeals voting in his favor, he would
count it a vindicaton and proof of his
assertion that he is being persecuted
because he w r ould not turn over the
State to Tammany Hall.
Maryland Jews to
Raise Shaft to Friend
Thomas Kennedy, Who Passed Law
Giving Them Right to Hold
Office, To Be Honored.
HAGERSTOWN, MD., Aug. 23.—
Mendes Cohen, of Baltimore, a grand
nephew of one of the first Jews elect
ed to office in the State of Maryland,
will act as treasurer of the fund to
be raised to build a monument to
Thomas Kennedy, author of the law
passed in 1826 that gave Jews the
right to hold office.
Kennedy was famous in several
other respects than as champion of
the cause of political equality, for
which he fought as a member of the
Legislature eight years. He wrote
many ballads that aroused the mar
tial ardor of his fellow citizens In the
days preceding the War of 1812.
Crusade Started on
Big Sunday Dinners
Domestic Science Teachers of Kan
sas Schools Are Enlisted In
The Campaign.
TOPEKA. KANS.. Aug. 23.—The
custom and the physical requirements
that a man must rest at least one day
in seven have brought about a cam
paign in Kansas against the big Sun
day dinners that have so long been
the delight of the average man. The
domestic science teachers of the
schools have enlisted the aid of do
mestic science students throughout
the State and the big Sunday dinner
Is going the way of the hard biscuit
and the underdone meat in the Kan
sas homes.
The campaign was started a year
ago at the University of Kansas,
but It now has the support of every
high school and college with domes
tic science courses.

an Isolated spot In Texas until It has
now reached the State of Alabama,
and I have been appalled by the dam
age wrought by its ravages. During
all these years I have been hoping
for the discovery by which the pest
could be exterminated, or even check
ed, but In both I have been disap
pointed.
Likes Zone Remedy Plan.
Some time ago the suggestion was
made to establish across the entire
cotton belt, east of the areas infested
by the weevil a zone of 100 miles, In
which no cotton should be planted.
It was argued that this would check
the eastward advance of the weevil, as
It subsists only on the cotton plant,
and it was also argued by entomolo
gists and other experts on plant and
Insect life that my moving this zono
westward from year to year all the
weevils In the Cotton States would be
starved out and entirely exterminated
until the Mexican border was reached.
The Idea appealed to me very
strongly, and I have given the sub
ject a great deal of study ever since.
1 believe this plan is entirely feasi
ble, and while at first thought the
cost may seem prohibitive, yet w’hen
the estimated cost is compared with
the estimated saving the zone plan
must be looked upon as a very sound
business proposition.
The Government entomologists,
farm demonstration agents and others
admit that if this zone plan Is put
into operation it will undoubtedly
check and finally exterminate the boll
weevil, as it will have nothing to feed
upon, and they admit at the same
time that no other plan that has been
tried so far has been at all effective.
I have had an estimate made of the
cost of the proposed zone and I think
it is a very liberal one. It follows:
"The cessation of cotton growing
over an area of 46,245 square miles, in
which the crop is valued at $98,990,047
per annum, Is at first glance such an
appalling suggestion that few have
even thought to look deeper.
Sees Need of Substitute.
"We must add also to this the loss
In ginning business, which is com
puted at $2,915,518 -er annum and the
loss In seed products totaling $5,633,-
562. This means that there must be
compensation for a loss in earning
value of $107,539,127 per annum.
“In the first place, any scheme
which would call for the cessation of
cotton growing must provide the
means and knowledge for growing
something else In the place of cotton.
"A large crop of trained agricul
turists Instructing In the cultivation
of new’ and profitable crops and in the
principles of rotation, maintenance
of soil fertility, etc., would help the
people to double and treble the output
of their land within very few years.
It would also be necessary to supply
seed for planting the 2,673,672 acres of
cotton land in other crop**. Thus the
greater pari of the prospective loss
can he met at a reasonable expense.
"The loss of the ginners and part of
the loss of the oil men will have to be
assumed by the Government. This
loss would not exceed $9,000,000.
"It would be necessary for the west
ern portion of the quarantine area to
remain out of cotton for possibly
three years.
"East of the proposed quarantine
line there lies an area of 112,027
square miles of territory in which
cotton can be produced. The average
yield per acre (1908-1811) for this
territory has been 3,051,103 bales (500
pounds), of which 32,892 bales (500
pounds was s’ea island cotton. The
value of the latter was $4,224,235.
Places Faith in Expert.
"The value of the remaining or up
land cotton, valued at 11.9 cents per
pound, was $174,345,554. The value
of the equivalent amount of seed pro
duced would be $33,943,532. Thus the
annual value of the producers of the
crop to be protected is $217,514,211.
"History of the boll weevil has
shown that if this area is not pro
tected its production will be lowered
year by year until possibly 50 per cent
of the crop is taken, and sometimes as
high as 75 per cent.”
The zone plan is the only sugges
tion that has yet been offered that
holds out any promise of relief. The
cost of the zone plan is undoubtedly
great, but when the estimated cost
is compared with the estimated sav
ing, the protection of sections not
yet reached and the ultimate eradica
tion of the boll weevil throughout
the entire cotton belt, the cost does
not seem to be prohibitive. In fact,
the cost of* the zone system will be
mild compared with the loss that
will be entailed if the boll weevil is
not exterminated.
Sea Island Crop Imperiled.
It is practically certain that if the
boll weevil spreads to the South At
lantic States the sea island cotton In
dustry will be wiped out entirely.
This is by reason of the semi-tropical
nature of the Islands, the luxuriant
foliage which affords a safe harbor and
breeding ground for the insects dur
ing winter and summer, and the fact
that there is neither extreme heat
nor extreme cold, both of which are
destructive to insect life. It is my
deliberate judgment that If the boll
weevil reaches the sea Islands, there
will be no more sea island cotton.
I have spoken of the aggregate
loss to the country, but the feature
that appeals to me most strongly Is
the loss to the individual. The coun
try may eventually recover from the
damage done to the cotton crop, but
the individual cotton farmer whose
income is cut in half or destroyed,
and whose property Is made to de
preciate in value, may never recover.
The loss to him will be irreparable.
My object in writing this is in
order that the people may know Just
how’ seriously the cotton crop is be
ing menaced, and that they may dis-.
cues and understand the only plan
that has been offered, which promises
to accomplish the result needed. If
any other plan is suggested that
promises to accomplish the result at
a less cost or in a quicker manner.
I will give it my heartiest indorse
ment.
I will be glad to have the farm
ers and others of the South con
sider this problem carefully and
write me what they think of iL j
Miss Neida Humphrey.
Miss Neida Humphrey, of Huntsville, Blames
Laziness for Hearth of Divas.
HUNTSVILLE, ALA., Aug. 23.—
The soft, musical voice of Southern
women, which poets have raved
about, others have envied and the
comic papers have made subject of
satire, has a value in dollars, and it
has an even greater value in the
world of art.
So thinks Miss Neida Humphrey,
of Huntsville, who has just returned
home after a three-year course of
voice culture under Caruso in New
York.
Miss Humphrey, realizing the su
preme demand for American prima
donnas on the operatic stage, not
only in this country, but in every W uf) TU|NKS HIM FASY PRFY
capital in Europe, thinks there is a vvnu 1 nmr ^ film LAOT rnLY
world of opportunity for the young
women of her own section in this
field.
"The Southern woman’s voice,"
says Miss Humphrey, "possesses
more natural musical qualities than
the voices of any other women in the
world. With proper cultivation that
quality should make them the great
est opera stars. The world has long
known of this quality, but the South
ern women of talent have just refus
ed to grasp their opportunities.
Blames Indolence in Part.
“And I guess the laziness so gen
erally attributed to our people may
have a great deal to do with It. Sing
ing, I mean serious singing, is the
hardest sort of work.
"There is hardly a girl of social
position in the Southland who has
not a smattering of musical educa
tion. The trouble is it’s only a smat
tering. When they reached the point
where singing meant real work they
retired gracefully to other fields.
"But I believe that the time is not
far off when the Southern girl of
talent will realize the life she is over
looking and then I am certain that
there will be girls of Dixie whose
names will be Just as famous os
those of Farrar, Suzanne Adams and
Louise Homer, all American born.
Miss Humphrey is very young and
she is very, very pretty, but that is
npt all. She has a voice of remark
able power and dramatic quality, but
withal she holds in it that soft sweet
ness that declares her home as plain
ly as it would be declared were she I
to walk on the stage waving the
Stars and Bars.
Has Charmed the President.
She has already done things in
music and she intends to do more j
In New Y'ork she has sung before |
the most critical audiences in concert
and has won their high approbation.
It was she who charmed President
Wilson and a distinguished gathering
in New York recently at a concert
In Chattanooga last May, during
the reunion of the Confederate Vete
rans, she sang before the old soldiers
and was given an ovation.
Miss Humphrey intends to return
to New York jn the fall to complete
her studies. She has already been
assured of an operatic engagement
and Huntsville believes that it will
soon boast an operatic celebrity.

EAST LIVERPOOL, OHIO, Aug. 23.
When Francis Beaver, 30 years old.

with a hard blow on the elder man’s
nose. Thoroughly aroused, Beaver. Sr.,

Husband Declares That Their
Conspiracy Kept Him in Bed
Three Years.
CHICAGO, Aug. 33.—Alleging that
his wife was madly infatuated with
a man of strange, woird, magnolia
powers, and that they conspired to
incapacitate him by adm ini atarinn
mysterious potions. Theodore Speab-
er. a former undertaker of Chicago*
filed suit for divorce from Ann*
Speaber in the Circuit Court at La*
porte, Ind.
Through the machinations of his
wife and a man w'ho represented him
self as being a magnetic healer, as
suming the name of Louis Odill(\
Speaber avers that they tried to con-*
vince him that he had become a vic
tim of tuberculosis. Odillo then In
jected a chemical in his ear, he al
leges, which brought on an illness
that confined him to a hospital bed
for three years. This, he charges,
w r as done with the deliberate inten
tion of causing a fatal sickness to set
in and get him out of the way.
His wife then sold out his under
taking business and their household
effects, he charges, for less than one-
third of the real value. She then re
fused to see him after he had been
released from the hospital.
Friends of Speaber say that he was
at one time an inmate of the Elgin
State Insane Asylum. But he was re«
leased later as cured.

When Constipated
“Keep Your Bowels Open”—,
Doctors Estimate 75 Per Cent
of Sickness Due to Torpid
Liver.
Some undigested food te left Jn the
stomach daily, which the liver should
clear away. A heavy or unusual diet,
or a change in water, may cause the liv
er to leave a few particles to press and
clog, and the next day more are left
over. 80 this waste accumulates, clog
ging stomach and Intestines, and caus
ing constipation.
That is not all. If the waste is not
eliminated it ferments and generates
uric acid, a poison which gets into the
blood and through the system.

flushes the stomach and intestinal tract
and washes away every particle of
waste and fermentation; It purifies the
blood by dissolving what uric acid has
accumulated and passing it off in the
urine.

fast and In an hour you'll feel splendid.

produces the same result. All drug
gists should have the genuine JA
