Mr. Michael J. Jordan, National Secretary
of the United Irish League of America,
Answers the Hon. J. C. White, of
Belfast, As To Home Rule
For Ireland
TO the Editor of The Herald.
Sir—My attention ha* been called
to an Interview In your paper ot
March 31, Riven by Mr. J. C White o!
Belfast, Ireland, concerning the pres
ent political situation in Ireland. A*
! many of your readers are Interested
In knowing what Is the real situ*-
tlon, will you permit me to ask ,ou
to publish the following reply?
Mr. White states the position of
the Unionists apparently in the fol
lowing proposition: First, that all Ire
land is divided into two hostile cami «,
one consisting of the original Celts
and the other of the people of more
recent introduction into Ireland. Sec
ondly, that the Catholics of Ireland
cannot be trimied to treat their co
religionists fairly and on equal terms.
Thirdly, that the trade and prosperity
of Ulster would suffer in case of
home rule, which implies that the
only people of business training are
those who live In Ulster.
Mr. White speaks with a strange
lack of knowledge of the real situa
tion. Your readers would infer from
his interview that there is a clean
line of cleaveage between the old
Celts and those who came to Ireland
in more recent times. A glance at
soni ' facts of Irish history Vill, how
ever. remove this difficulty.
After the date of the Cromwellian
wars (lie total population of Ireland
was reduced to about 560,000 souls
including England and Irish settlers.
After the settlements of Charles II
and the wars of William of Orange, It
is computed that the original Cells
were reduced to about 155,000 people.
The population of Ireland today is a
little over Tour and a half million.
Of what elements is this population
mainly composed?
According to Mr. White’s figures
there would be a very comparatively
small number of Celtic stock, seeing
that the number was reduced to tsuen
an insignificant figure after the
shameful betrayal of the Treaty of
Limerick.
The fact is that out of the four and
one-half million of people in Ireland,
it is safe to say that three-fourths
of the total population are made up of
descendants of Normans, Danes,
Swedes and Norwegians, English and
Celts, and the Celtic element is not
by any means the largest in the gen
eral make-up. Therefore, it is not
the descendants of ancient Celts who
are exclusively in favor of home rule
and a cursory glance at the mere rudi
ments of Irish history w-ould confirm
Mr. White in this opinion. My own
name, for example, is the very best
proof of the fact that men of different
origins are actively engaged in the
cause of home rule.
Mr. White’s second argument Is an
swered by the following figures which
I would ask him to dispute if possi
ble. There is absolutely no such
thing as a war between Catholics and
Protestants of Ireland. The follow
ing figures show beyond any question
oT doubt what the real situation is:

It is therefore apparent that in the
counties which are almost exxclusive
ly Catholic, the Protestant people
have been fairly and generously treat
ed by their Catholic co-religionists,
and to tLe credit of the Protestants
of these countir; be It said they have
never failed to show their apprecia
tion of their generous Catholic neigh
bors.
Glancing at the other sirid of the
question and taking such a county as
Antrim for example, where the Cath- j
olic populating is 40,000 and the Pro
testant population 156.000 only about
three per cent of Catholics are nom j
inated to any paying office. Where
as, in the rounty Cavan, where they
whole County Council is Catholic and |
the total number of offices given
amounts to about 56, thirty Catholics
have been appointed to fill these of
fices and 26 Protestants.
On the other hand, in the city of
Belfast, where over 40 per cent of the
people are Catholics, no Catholic has
ever been selected to fill gny public
office of emolument or honor. Al
though Mr. Joseph Devlin represents
West Belfast that is on account of the !
fact that he is selected by that divis
lon alone, but the local governing j
body In Belfast will not tolerate any i
place of honor or emolument in the j
hands of any Catholic.
It must be clear to an impartial
reader from these facts that the Cath
olic people have made no distinction
as regards their Protestant neigh
bors. Mr White hag Tailed to state
tnat nearly ten per cent of the per
sonel of the members of the Irish
party are Protestants, and that all !
the great leaders of Irish political !
movements have been Protestants, i
with the exceirtion of John E. Red- j
mond alone.
Nothing, therefore, Is more unjust, |
more cruel or more ungenerous than |
the statement that the Irish people
discriminate in favor of Catholics as
against their Protestant brethren. I i
challenge Mr. White to say if the fact
is not the other way, and that In the
four Protestant counties of the north,
Catholics are discriminated against
at every turn.
As .regards the last ground on
which Mr. White bases his objections i
to home rule, it has always been the
claim of the four counties of Ulster
that thev are the only people who un
derstand anything about trade or fi
nances and that the rest of Ireland is
practically speaking bankrupt. What
does Mr. White say about the fact j
that Lord Pirrie, the head of the great I
ship building flnn of Hurlnnd &
Wolf, situated In Belfast Itself, is a
home ruler? And what does lie say
about the milliona of money deposited
In the Irish hanks und the millions v>f
dollars earned by the Irißh railway*
throughout the country every year?
1 will direct your attention to au
Investigation recently made In Bel
fast by Mr. Harold Begble who went
to Ireland opposed to home rule, and
as he states in Ills book “no friend o»
the Catholic people" and when he re
turned to England was Hn out-and-out
home ruler, with a very warm place
In his heart for the generous Catho
lics of Ireland. In his treatment ot
Ulster Mr. Begble shows the real con
dition of Belfast. He shows that in
stead of 'ts being one of the most
prosperous cities in the world it is
really one of the most sordid and de
graded. Without entering any fur
ther into details I would direct your
attention to the chapters in his boo*
on the wealth of Ulster, on the Maids
of the Mill, etc.
This one quotation will be sufflc
lent:
"Fully to realize the condition of
Belfast it Is necessary to visit the
slum quarters, to enter the kennels of
the poor, to examine the wage-books
of the home workers, and to make a
study o fthe ragged, barefoot chil
dren in the streets. No honest man
who has conducted such an investiga
tion can doubt that the condition of
Belfast is a disgrace to civilization
and a frightful menace to the health
and morals of the next generation-
The heavy scowling faces of the poor,
the stunted and anemic bodies of the
children, haunt the soul of an ob
served with a sense of horror and
alarm. One feels regarding those
swarms of children in the streets,
that nature has made them grudging
ly.”
Very truly yours,
MICHAEL J. JORDAN,
National Secretary United Irish
League of America.

Cured His RUPTURE

though I am doing hard work as a car
penter. There was no operation, no Inst
time, no trouble. I have nothing to sell,
but will give full Information about how
you may find a complete cure without
operation, if you write to me. Eugene M-

arc luptured—you may save a life or at
least stop the misery of rupture and
the worry and danger of an operation.

MAGNIFICENT!!
Another Great Success
More Than 1-3 of All the Lots In Our
New Addition
“Summerville Terrace Annex”
Sold the Pirst Week!
How Do You Do It ?
We are frequently asked.
Of course, this has been, hitherto, a very close business secret, but we are
going to let it out now: (’onfidcnce in our propositi »», ;i wide experience, zest,
energy, advertising, each plays its important part in the desired eonsumation
hut the jist of the whole matter is:
WE HAVE THE GOODS
presented in the most attractive styles, such as the market requires. Cater
ing, as we do, to the wants of citv people who arc accustomed ft* citv utility
improvements CITY WATER AND FIRE PROTECTION, SANITARY
SEWERAGE AND IMPROVED STREETS we at once set about their in
stallation and pushed it to a finish in time to meet the needs of the earliest
home builder. We have an unbroken record for having carried*out all guaran
tees with promptness and dispatch—hence both homo builders and investors
buy our lots with the utmost confidence that our promise will lie promptly car
ried out.
our low prices and easy terms look very attractive t" many of
our best jwople of moderate means, and even to rich people too, win*
do not want to pay out a considerable sum at one time, but prefer the month
ly payments which they do not feel and which leave undisturbed existing in
vestments .
Think of it! SSOO lot®, fronting on the ear line which runs through
the middle of this property, at S2O down and only $lO per month, ab
solutely (unqualifiedly and without equivocation or mental reservation of any
kind) without interest and without taxes for four (4) years.
In other words, we sell you i SSOO lot on terms that are worth SIOO.
How is that, you say? Well, we will show you:
We give 4 years time without interest and without taxes, monthly pay
ments, lienee, as to interest, an average time of about 2 years: t
The interest on SSOO
for 2 years at 7 per cent $70.00
Taxes on an assessed valuation of ;
$250 at 3 per cent, per annum is $7.50.
Multiply this by four years S3O SIOO
' S4OO
So when you pay for a lot on the old interest and tnxeaten plan, you pay
quite as much as if you were to buy from us at SSOO. See?
So, if you are going to duplicate our proposition in or about Augusta, it’s
time you were looking for it. We will sell out, however, before you find it, and
you will he LEFT.
