THE IRISH QUESTION
The Story of Home Rule —Ire-
land's Constitutional Fight For
Some Form of Self-Govern
ment
From 1870 to 1816. Home KuU* meant
Ireland and Ireland meant Home Rule.
The movement and the nation were one
and rang through the world in a alngle
grent Appeal. For the flrat time In seven
centuries the Irish put armed force aside

English Parliament. Isaac Butt may he

infamy of the trials, the* packed juries,
the preiudk-e of the judges, all « ombined
to change the conservation of his youth,
and he soon took rank as a leader in the
fight for Irish freedom. The futile rebel
lions of the past, however, no loss than
ihe legalistic boat, led Butt sharply away
from force, and he evolved the doctrine
of evidence and argument.
The Feniant, driven by their helpless

proved quickly and the wretched Pigott
committed suicide, but there was that
coming that struck the strong man down.
A Captain O'Shea filed suit for divorce,
naming Parnell as co-respondent, and the
hue and cry of outraged moralists drove
him from public life to die.
The scandal killed Home Rule as with
a dagger thrust, and It Mas not until
1882 that Oladstone dared to introduce
a second Home Rule bill. It. swept
through the House of Commons this time,
but was promptly vetoed by the House
of Lords, Salisbury blandly dismissing the
Irish as "Hottentots’. Old, worn, and
bit telly disgusted, Gladstone retired to

fled itself with the whole English fight for

was won by th* adoption of the Psfipia
rnent Act which provided that any bill
paused by the Mouse of Commons in three
successive annual sessions should auto
matically receive the royal assent and be- ,
come a law.
This meant that the plain people of
England approved self-government for
the Irish, for throughout this dlmpaign
Mr. Asquith stated unequivocally that one
of the first, uses of the Parliament Act
would be to drive through a Home Rule
bill. This pledge was redeemed on April
11, J 912, and Home Rule swept through
the House of Commons In ail its stages,
only to be vetoed by the House of I»rds.
In no respect was It an alarming measure
for it did not even approximate the pow
ers and *coi** of the Canadian form of
government. B created an Irish Parlia

flavor of freedom was an offense to the
Tories. Again in 1913 the bill was intro
duc'd and passed, and again the House of
lx>rda exercised its veto powers. Admit
tedly unable to check this legislative pro
cess by peaceful means, the Tories of
England had already turned to the vio
lence* of rebellion. Claiming that Ulster,
the northern province of Ireland, was sol
idly Protestant n®»l a unit in devotion to
I lie I British Km pi re. the Tories insisted
that Home Rule would subject this loyal
minority to the rule of a "bigoted, shift

Who shall say that Mr Asquith was not
justified when he declared: The reckless
rhodomon ade at Blenheim in the eariy
summer, as developed and amplified in
this Ulster campaign, furnishes for the
future a complete Grammar of Anarchy.
■ • A more deadly blow —1 say it with
the utmost deliberation and with the
idlest conviction has neVer been dealt in
our tim* h any body of responsible poli
ticians at the very foundations on which

Nor aid these men let their threatened
rebellion stop at words. On .September
Iji.i. a provisional government of Uls
ter w;js formed at Belfast with Kir Kd
ward Carson as chairman; James Camp
bell. James Chambers. John Gordon and
William Moore, provisional governors;
General Sir George Richardson, com
mander-in-chief; Sir Frederick Smith and
Kir James Craig, aides-de-camp, and Col
onel Hackett Pain, chief of staff. Train
ing camps were established in Ulster, and
»•. a great <finnei in London, Carson was
presented with a shining sword. The
i ory ladies of England offered their
homes of. hospitals for such Ulster patri
ots as should be wounded in the patriotic
work of rebellion, and their daughters
volunteered *k nurses. Mr Balfour, I>ord
Curzon, I»rd Kolsrt Cecil and Bonar
Law solemnly pledged the support of the
Unionist party to the rebels.
The > ear LU4 found both forces In bat
tle array Parliament opened February
10, 1914, and afr*inatarft attempt to amend
the Horne Rule bill was rejected by a
vote of 333 to 78, proving conclusively
that threats had worked no change in the
sentiment of the House. On March 3rd,
Kngiand was startled by the publication
of a "British Covenant” declaring that
the passage of a Home Rule bill would
furnish justification for any action that
might be effective to prevent it from go
ing Into operation. Among them any wno
signed this amazing document of defiance,
were Karl Rob* i ts, the duke, of Portland,
Viscounts Halifax and Milner, Ixrrds Al
denham, Balfour, of Burleigh, the dean of
Canterbury, and Rudyard Kipling.
In March the Unionists scored their
first real victory. For some reason that
has never been explained satisfactorily,
Mr. Asquith weakened before the threat
of rebellion and announced “projected
concessions” to Ulster in moving the. sec
ond reading of the Home Rub* bill. His
plan proposed that any county in Ulster,
Inciudlng the boroughs of Belfast and
I Londonderry, might vote themselves ont
for a t.*rrn of six years from the first
meeting of the Irish legislature in Dublin.
The counties excluded would come into
the Home Rule scheme automatically at
the end unless the Imperial Parliament
determined otherwise.
Redmond Make* Proposals.
Redmond, swallowing bitterness and
checkins the rage of hTs followers, suited
that the proposals marked the extreme
limit of concession and that the National
ists would only acquh sce In them If they
were frankly accepted by their Ulster op
ponents Bonar Law and Carson refused,
demanding permanent exclusion of all
nine counties but the most sinister note,
was sounded by Bonar Law when he de
clared. •Soldiers are citizens like the rest
of us.' conveying the first intimation that
the army had been seduced from Its al
legiance fn\ March 14th. hearing that
the l ister volunteers planned to seize all
arsenals, the War Office sent Instructions
to General Paget in Ireland to take “spe
cial precautions for safeguarding depots
and other places where arms or stores
are kept.”
Bonar Law now stood before the coun
try as a true prophet. The answer to the
War Office's order was mutiny. General
Cough, commanding the Third Cavalry
Brigade, hand»*l in his resignation and
fifty-seven of his officers did likewise,
flatly refusing to proceed to Ulster to en
force law and order. Not a resignation
was accepted, not an officer dismissed,
n nd the H(*k‘ result was to make credible
the claim that the army was controlled by
the Unionists and not by the government
The next blow at duly elected authority
came on April 24th. when 35,000 rifles and

of Ireland from any scheme of Home
Rule."
It is difficult to assign a reason for this
new policy of indecision and actual cow
ardice. The powerful Labor party, the
Liberal party itself, and a majority of tho
Knglish people were plainly eager that
best he made between the govern
ment and the Ulster rebels. On April 6th,
■ .i-cuj alter tne Gough mutiny, Home
Rule had passed its second reading by
an undiminished majority. On May 25th
also, when the bill came up for third
reading, it passed enthusiastically. Now
It was in, the power of Mr. Asquith to
have ended the matter decisively. He
could have brought the session to an end
and after a month, given to the lords for
consideration, handed the bill to the king
for signature. Instead of that, he did no
thing, leaving all action to the. rebels. At
East Belfast on June 2nd, Carson shouted
t/iat he 'had come to rnak' arrangements
lor the finaJ scene," that he "was going
to have more Mausers. ”
To meet the menace of the Ulster Vol
unteers, a Home Rule organization called
the National Volunteers had sprung into
being. With Asquith weakening, Carson
increasingly arrogant and at least a part
of the ritlsh Army openly siding with
Ulster, these National Volunteers now
leaped to an amazing strength. On June
Ist their members Were estimated iX 41,-
000 in Ulster, 42.000 in Leinster. 27,000 in
Munster, and Js.ooo in Connaught.
On June 23rd the long threatened
amending bill was introduced in the
House of Lords. It provided that within
three months after its passing any Ulster
county should be entitled to vote itself in
or out. The exclusion would be for six
years from the first meeting of the Irish
Parliament; at the end of that period
there would be obligatory re-considera
tlon, not automatic inclusion.
Situation in Summer of 1914.
On June 28th occurred the murder of
Sarajevo. Aside from shock, however,
public opinion was not disturbed. Early
In July, more machine guns were landed
for the Ulstermen and it was announced
thst “rest stations” were being arranged
in England for Ulster refqgee women and
children. On Monday, July 13th, seventy
thousand men marched from Belfast to
Drum beg, where Kir Kdward Carson
again emphasized Ulster's determination
to resist; “Give us a clean cut," he said,
"or come find fight us.”
Debate on the* amending bill began in
the House of Lords, and Lord Money, of
Blackburn, in moving the second reading,
stated that no part of Ulster was homo
geneous and that the National Volunteers
had dispelled the illusion that the masses
in the south and west of Ireland had lost
their care for Home Rule. The Marquis
of Bansdowne answered furiously that the
bill was fit for a museum and wholly In
adequate to avert a calamity and under
his direction the lords proceeded to trans
.«*rm it utterly, excluding ail nine Ulster
counties arbitrarily and permanently.
It was an open declaration of war, and
so intended, but even as Nationalists and
[Liberals gathered to meet it, an astound
ing interruption occurred, pnly July 20th
the very flay the gutted bill was to be
taken up in the House of Commons, the
king called a conference on the Irish
question at Buckingham Palace. This
unexpected move was received with the
utmost alarm by the Nationalists, the La
bor party, and a section of the Liberals.
The Nationalists knew that they could go
no further in concession, while the Labor
leaders and the Liberals declared that the
unconstitutional interference of the king
Hounded the real note op danger.
This final open action of the king may
explain why Mr. Asquith weakened when
he seemed strongest, announcing "pro
jected concessions" to Ulster after stat
ing in public speech that Ulster’s rebel
lion was a ‘deadly blow att he very foun
dations on which democratic government
rests." The king. Tory to the marrow
and characteristically Hanoverian in his
stubbornness, has ever stood like iron
against any measure of independence for
Ireland, and if he. was bold enough to in- '
tervene at the last, is there reason to
doubt that he exerted royal pressure pri
vately from the very first? In any event,
the conference ended in failure after four
days of furious debate. The citation of
election returns, showing that Donegal,
Monaghan and Cavan were overwhelm
ingly Nationalist, forced the surrender of
Unionist claims tot hese three counties,
hut Lansdowne and Carson insisted upon
the arbitrary and permanent exclusiono f
theo ther six counties of Ulster. Redmond
and Dillon pointed'out that the National
ists also possessed majorities in Tyrone
and Fermanagh and insisted that the peo
ple of Ulster be allowed to vote on inclu
sion or exclusion, but this fair proposition
‘ was flatly refused. On the heels of the
conference s failure, an ugly discrimina
tion in the enforcement of law further
intensified the situation.
On July 25th. over 5.000 Ulster volun
teers. fullv armed, paraded Belfast with
out tb«‘ slightest police interference. On
July 26th. about one thousand unarmed
National Volunteers marched from Dub
lin to How th to unload rifles and ammu
nition from an anchored yacht. Soldiers
and police, hastily summoned, tried to
disarm and arrest the Volunteers, but a
spirited resistance with fists and clubs
proved successful enough to give the gun
bearers time for escape. It was hot until
evening that the soldiers —a company of
the king's own Scottish orderers -inarch
ed back to Dublin. Crowds gathered,
some stones were throwm. whereat fire
was opened upon the people, killing four
and wounding sixty.
All the while the war clouds gathered.
On July 81st. Mr. Asquith announced that
the amending bill would have to be post
poned In view of the international crisis.
On August 2nd. the storm burst.

The recovery of a talking machine and

Sunday night along with other valuable
articles from the winter residence of
Mrs. Charles C. Worthington, 2241 Cum
mins street, The Hill, led to the arrest
yesterday afternoon of Lester Gunter and
the recovery of several costly blankets,
said to have been stolen along with the
talking machine. Gunter is charged with
burglary.
Immediately after the report of the
burglary, the entire plainclothes force
engaged in the case, and the next day
Officer Dean found the talking machine
and records at a boarding house on Bat
tle Row. As the result of further in
vestigations, Officers Dunn, Tebow, Ray
and Ferris spent quite a while yester
day in an effort to locate Gunter, the
suspect. It had been learned, accord
ing to the officers, that some of the
loot had been left at another house in the
western section of the city and that
Gunter was slated to return for it dur
ing the day. Officers Dunn and Ray
were keeping watch at the house and
when Gunter appeared they nabbed him.
The aHeged stolen goocLs left at the house
consisting of several costly blankets,
were recovered.
The Worthington home, which is in
Augusta’s winter colony and has been
unoccupied since the tourist season
closed, was entered by way of a win
dow.
Other valuable articles. Including Turk
ish rugs, were taken and have not yet
been recovered. It appears, according to
the officers, that the burglars were scared
away before their designs were fully
carried out, or else were overburdened
with the articles they succeeded in car
rying away, as a large sack which they
filled with handsome chinaware was left
in the residence.
