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 Americans at the ceremony of unveiling of the
John F. Finerty monument were thrilled by your meeaage in fa
vor of home rule for Ireland. This monument la 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 publlah In your
Sunday papers, In the near future, a comprehensive account of
our recent demonstration here, and emphasize Its significance to
Irish liberty.

Mr. Hearst’s Home Rule Message
San Francisco, Aug. 15.
As an American believing ardently in liberty and oppor
tunity in equal rights and equal justice, I believe sincerely in
home rule for Ireland.
If I 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 Btate 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
the 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 nationalising forces
of mutual confidence, mutual affection and mutual interest.
If I were an Irishman I would take pride in this fight for
home rule, first because of the benefit I was helping to confer
upon my 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.

an isolated apot in Texas until it has
now reached the Rtate of Alabama,
end 1 have been appalled by the dam-

all thepe year* 1 have been hoping
for the discovery by which the pest
could be exterminated, or even check

pointed
Likes Zone Remedy Plan.
Home time ago the suggestion was
made to establish across the entire
cotton belt, east of the area* infested
by the weevil a Bone of 100 miles, in
which no cotton should be planted.
It Wfl* argued that this would check
Ihe eastward ndvanc® of the weevil, as
It subsists only on »be cotton plant,
and it was also argued by entomolo
gist* and other experts on plant and
Insect life that rny moving this zone
westward from year to year all the
weevil* in thp t'otton States would he
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.
I believe this plan 1* entirely feasi
ble, and while at first thoUK t the
cost may seem prohibitive, yet when
the estimated cost is compared with
the estimated saving *he zone plan
must he looked upon as a very sound
business proposition.
The Government entomologists,
farm demonstration agent* and others
admit that If this zone plan is put
Into operation it will undoubtedly
check and Anally exterminate the boll
weevdl. as It wlli have nothing to feed
upon, and they admit at the same
time that no other plan that ha* been
tried so far has been at all effective
1 hava had an estimate made of the
coat of the proposed zone and I think
it Is a very liberal one. It follows:
"The cessation of cotton growing
over an area of 40.245 square miles, in
which the crop Is valued at $9S.990,047
p«*r annum, is at first glance such an
appalling suggestion that few have
even thought to look deeper.
Se«s Need of Substitute.
"We must ndd alro to this the loss
In glnn'.ng business, which is com
puted at $2,915.51k er annum and the
loss In *oed products totaling $.>.633,-
562.' This means that there must be
compensation for a loss in earning
value of $107,539,127 per annum.
"In the Hrst place, any scheme
which would call for the cessation of
colton growing must provide th*»
means and knowledge for growing
something else In the place of cotton.
"A large crop of trained agricul
turist* Instructing In the cultivation
of new and profitable crops and in the
principles of rotation, maintenance
of soli fertility, etc., would help the
people to double and treble the output
of their land within very few years.
It would also be necessnry to supply
seed for planting the 2.573,072 acres of
cotton land In other cropn. Thus the
greater part of the prospective logs

••The loss of*the ginner* and part of
the loss of the oil men w ill have to he
assumed by the Government. Phis
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 »»n area of 1E?.027
square miles of territory in which
cotton can tie produced The average
yield per acre (1908-1811) for this
territory lias been 3.051,103 bales (ooO
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. Thu* 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
vear bv vear until poseibly 50 per cent
of the crop is taken, and sometime.* as
hleb as 76 per cent."
The stone plan is the only sugges
tion that has vet been offered that
holds out any promise of relief. The
cost of the stone 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 l»e 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 hieat
nor extreme cold, both of which are
destructive to inaect 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 nie 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 tq 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
cuss 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

Husband Declares That Their
Conspiracy Kept Him in Bed
Three Years.
CHICAGO, Aug. 23.—Alleging that
his wife was madly Infatuated with
a man of strange, weird, magnetic
powers and that they conspired to
incapacitate him by administering
mysterious potions, Theodore Speab-
er. a former undertaker of Chicago,
tivr and Lieutenant Governor Martin
Glynn are busy, the one strengthening
hi* defense, the other 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 Iihr none. Two men
maintain they have the right to trans
act the Stflte'a 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’*
wife that she. not the Governor, used
checks he had received as campaign
contributions to speculate on the stock
mn rket.
on the other hand, It Ik learned that
the Fiawley 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 nerve*
broken. It is said, under the strain
which she has experienced since the
charges were brought against her
husband.
Bulzer’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 believe* 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 Bulzer he re
moved from office by Tammany votes,
with all the judges of the Court of
Appeals voting in his favor, he woul 1
count it a vindicaton and proof of his
assertion that he is being persecute*
because he would not turn over the
State to Tammany Hall.
