der the vnmsu control of the elec~
torasde.
Make no doubt that the Irish vote
will be a block vote against Eng
land and all things English as long
as the Irish question is allowed to
persist. It must be remembered also
that for 40 years the cause of Ire-
Jand has been pleaded unceasingly
in the United States by a host of
brilliant and persussive personall
ties, with the result that a great
body of Hberal sentiment is firm In
the belief that Irish wrongs are
real and eall for redress. .
IRIBH-AMERICAN'S SPIRIT,
Nor may it be forgotten that the
history of the United States, written
in a spirit of bumptious national
i#m, has not been calculated to
make for Anglo-American under
standing. The comradeship of &
frm adventure in humanity mere.
y anesthetized this feeling, and any
definite anti-Pnglish campaign will
stir it to ugly life,
These forces, assembled and as
gembleable, gtven umchanged condi
tions, will have power to direct and
‘Bhape the foreign poMcies of the
United States.
What, then, Is to be the attitude
of those Americans who are not of
Irish bHlood and who, have no con
cern with the Irish question save
as it bears upon the destinies of the
United States?
It is idle to adopt a tone of heavy
reproof and talk of “America first."
America has always been first with
the Irish-American, for while love
of Brin is an unchanging passion,
his allegiance, once given, is never
aivided by a hyphen,
Men cf Ireland gave heart and
strengh to Wumlnx:n: they died
by thousands that U'nton might
endure, and of the army ralsed In
the United States to war agningt
German absolutism, fully 15 per cent
were of Irish birth or Irish de
scent.
It i with _tiis record of love and
Joyalty behihd them that the Irish
eall upon America to lend hope, If
not aid, to thetr unhappy mother-
Jand. It = a call to which. some
sort of answer must be given,
OTHERS FACE PROBLEMS,
Other nations, as well as this, are
confronted with the same problem,
for there is not a clvilized country
in the world in which the Irish ex
fles have not played important parts,
enriching and encouraging the na
tive siock and lending their ardors
and abilities to every mational task,
whether war, statecraft or admin
fstration, commerce, Industry or lit
erature,
Not the least or many bitter.
nesses of the Irish is that the Eng-
Mxh role fosces them to rise to
greatness in other lands, writing In
every mnguage in every hastory a
record of capacity whieh if ex
pressed In their xuu country,
would have lifted Treland to a high
place among the nations.
Macauley, commenting in melan
choly upon the crudl laws and re
pressive bigotries that forced Irish
men into exile, said:
“There were indeed Trish Roman
Catholles of great ability, onarg
and ambition, but they were (o

Another became Prime Minister of
Spain. 1f he had stayed In his
native land, he would have been re
garded as an inferior by all the ix
norant and worthless squireens who
had signed the Declaration against
Transsubstantintion,
“In his palace at Madrid he had

FRANCE INDEBTED TO IRISH,
France, in particular, still resits
under a heavy burden of grutitude
to the Irish. In 1641, in 16%0 and in
1798 the French promised aid 1o
Ireland, but gave so slowly and so
little that it was more of a hurt
than a belp.
Yet out of the friendships engen
dered by this sympathy, thousands
of lgshmen entered Krench service
to fight the battles of Franece. In
the b 0 years that followed the
broken treaty of Limerick, fully
450,000 Ifish died fghting under
Fronch ‘-m\on. and countless oth
ers vitflimed French industry and
enriched the French professions,

SERVICE OF EMPIRE.
The British Empire itself has not
scrupled to take the abilitdes of Irish
for use In other countries than Ire
land, or to wear laurels won by
Irish genius,
The great Duke of Wellington
was an Irishman, and even while
England was denying the capacity
of the Gaels to rule themselves,
four Irishmen—Richard Wellesley,
Franclg Hastings, Righard Bourke
and Frederick Blackwood-—wers
sent as governor generals to hold
sway over all India. :
Guy Carleton, the greatest gov
ernor general that Canada ever
knew, was an Irishman; likewise
Lord Dufferin, Jonathan Swift, that
savage satirist; lawrence Sterne,
KEdmund Burke, Richard Brinsley
Sheridan and Goldsmith were all
Irish, and Goldsmith’'s “Deserted
Village” was no mere poetie vision
but a faithful picture of an Irish
village depopulated by English law,
It is the United States, however,
that has sustained the most inti
mate relations with Ireland, just as
it has received the most and the
best from the love and loyalty of
the Irish.
Prom the very earllest days there
was kinship between Ireland and
the American colonies, for the same
kings were oppressing both coun
tries, the same ¢ruel lawg bore
henvily |.Ton both,
Benjamin Franklin, while in Eng
mnd on his futile errand of ap
peal to English justice, gave much
time and thought to pointing out
the sameness of Irish and Ameri
can ‘wrongs and aspirations, H.d
one of the first acty of the Conli
nental Congress was to frame a
formal address to the nao&l;nof Ire
land in which these signi t par
agraphs appeared:
BRITISH GOVERNMENT CRUEL.
“We are desirous (as is natural
to injured innocence) of possessing
the good opinion of the virtuoas
and humane, * * * We know
that you are not without your
grievances. We sympathize with
you in your distress, and are
pleased to find that the design of
subjugating us has persuaded the
administration to dispense to Ire
land some vagrant rays of minis
terial sufishine,
“Kwven the tender mercles of ‘the
British’ Government have #ong been
eruel toward you. In the rich pas
tures of Ireland many hungry par
asites have fed and grown strong
to labor for itg destruction. We
hope the patient abiding of the
meek may not always be forgotten,
and God grant that the inquitous
gchemes of extirpating liberty may
goon be defeated. * * * For the
achievement of this lnpxy event we
confide in the good offices of our
sympathizers beyond the Atlantic.
Of their friendly dispositions we d 0
not yet despair, aware ag they must
be, that they have nothing more to
expect from the same commog ene
my than the humble favor kotnl
st devoured.”
In every one of the thirteen colo
nies were thousands of men and
women as Irish birth or descent,
exiled rrom their mother land by
the oppressions of English rule, and
It was largely their bitter hatred,
fg well as their passion for free
dom, that gaye purpose and cour
age to the American complaint
against British tyranny.

Edmund Burke, raising the ques

American navy,
PRAISED BY GENERAL.
Among the generals npon whom
Washington most depended, Rich
ard Montgomery, Walter Stewart,
William ’ghompmn. Stephen Moy
lan, Willlam Irvine and Richard
Butler, were Irish exiles, while
among the generals of Irish par
entage were Edward Hand, Wash

Stark, Brown, Marion, George
Clinton, afterward the first Govern
or of New York, and Knox, after
ward BSecretary of the War and
Navy.
The llrish not onl‘ gave their
blood to American Treedom, but
thelr money as well. When the
Bank of Pennsylvania wasf organ
ized to supply funds for the support
of the American armyj one-third of
the subscribers, representing more
than one-third the capital, were
members of the Friendly Sons of
Bt. Patrick, and this organization
later contributed outright the snm
of $517.500 of a total of $1,500,000.
Washington praised this soclety
as “distinguished for the firm ad
herence of its members to the glo
rious cause in which we are in
volved,” and accepted membership
in it as offered by a unanimous
vote, &

Irish aid was not confined to these
shores alone, however, for Count
Arthur Dillon sailed with 2,300 Irish
troops from France to fight for
Amerfea in the West Indies. m
this force’s capture of British S
that relleved were men of Irish
birth or parentage, and it Is esti
mated that pot less than 170,000
Irishmen fought under Lincoln for
the preservation of the Union.
General Thomas Francis Meagher,
an Irish rebel, deported for life by
the English Government and es
caped from Van Dieman’s Land to
the United States, was among the
first to offer his sword, and this
testimony, from a Britsh observer,
might well serve as a general de
scription of Irish conduct through
out the struggle:
“To the Irish Aivision commanded
by Genegal Meagher was principally
committed the Jesperate task of
bursting out of the town of Fred
ericksburg, and forming under the
withering fire of the Confederate
batteries, to attack Marye's Heights,

When the United States, driven
to war by the outrages and ill-faith
of the Imperial German Govern
ment ealled for men to support the

stant and enthusiastic response was
from the so-called Irigsh-Americans.
Hatred of England, handed down
from generation to generation
through seven centuries, was put
' aside out of devotion to the country

names and instances of Irish valor.

June Tenth Was Our First Birthd
in This Good Cit
Twelve monthe ago the doors of the Dockstader Optical Shop were first opened to the
public of Georgia. It has been the pleasantest kind of a year’s work to serve you, for
the confidence and co-operation accorded us has caused this business to succeed*beyond
our greatest expectations.
For which we offer our sincere appreciation. The kindly, open-handed reception given
ue on all sides and the very liberal patronage of Gerogia folk is the cause of this suc
cess and inspires us to greater efforts,
During the past year we have definitely gauged your likes and dislikes as well as your
needs in glasses, and are thoroughly familiar with the requirements of every man,
woman and child whose optical prescription has been filled by us,
For the new year ahead of us we promise a continuation of the definite-service guaran
tee as originally announced. a 7
One vear ago, this establishment, measuring its large vision by its faith in the city of
Atlanta, commenced to serve you, building a great Dockstader Optical Service for a
great city, foreseeing great things in the future,
: Within the span of a single year the promise of that large vision has been happily fuk
filled.
Gratefully, surely=-this country, region, State and city no less so—thizs Establishment
acknowledges the full measure of prosperity and good fortune which these fast-fiying
months have brought. Gratefully, but never exultantly; since this good fortune, smik
ing and golden though it be, must stand yet in the shadow of half the world's distress.
Again we thank you, and take modest pride in saying that we have expert opticians
who are worthy of your confidence. We know that the experience and facilities we are
able to offer ocullsts and the public make for perfect optical dispensing service,
ockstader Uptical Lo.
