THE PRESIDENT AND
IRELAND
After his speech at the Metropoli
tan Opera House, New lorK, oi
March 4th, a few hours before his de
rmrtiirfi for Europe, a committee rep
resenting the Irish race convention
presented to the President a petition
to the Peace Conference stating the
"right of Ireland to determine the
form of government under which she
shall live."
Though he received the committee
and its memorandum, the President
did not receive one of the members
the committee, Justice Daniel F. Co
tmlnn Thnucrh no official reason
has been given out for the President'
refusal to see Justice Cohalan, it i
thought to be because of the latter'
imnliratinn in the famous scandal
connected with the Von Igel papers
which revealed some of the intrigues
nf Count von Bernstorff. the late
German ambassador to Washington
and his German agents.
Justice Goff, who acted as chair
man. Dresented the resolutions
President Wilson. After reviewing
the struggles of the Irish race for
self-government, Justice Goff urged
that Ireland, as well as other small
nations, was entitled to self deter
mination. His concluding word
were these:
"Mr. President, representing as
we do many millions of your fellow
citizens, 1 asK you to present to tne
Peace Coneress at Paris the risrht
of Ireland to determine the form of
government under which she shall
live."
The President, without officially
committing himself to the ideas in
the resolutions, said he would pre
sent them to the Peace Conference
in such form and at such time as he
deemed advisable.

DESTRUCTIVE G. O. P. FILI
BUSTER ,
By a filibuster conceived in hostil
ity to President Wilson, Republican
senators defeated bills appropriating
some $3,000,000,000 for the operation
of the government and the demomlr
zation of the army. President Wil
son suffers nothing in prestige or in
the public's confidence by reason of
this show of petty partisanship, al
though, like every other citizen, he
must have been pained for the sake
of those who inspired it.
In the list of bills which this Re
publican obstruction prevented from
enactment were several that are vital
to a quick and thorough reconstruc
tion of the nation's commerce and in
dustry, to the employment of labor
and to a fitting provision for return
ing soldiers and sailors. Some of
these measures, such as that con
templating homesteads for soldiers
and that authorizing the formation
of a regular army to relieve the men
overseas, were of the utmost im
portance to millions of citizens who
had deserved the best, not the worst,
of Congress,
Those Republican leaders who con
cocted and conducted the filibuster
against legislation which the whole
country has been expecting and
urging have assumed a grave re
sponsibility. The bills were before
them; there was a majority in their
favor; there was the admission, even
of the Republicans themselves by
their voice and votes that they were
indispensable to the government and
private enterprise. Yet, to gratify a
spite against he Chief Executive they
failed in their duty as legislators
and worked harm to every interest,
pumic and private.
SENATOR LODGE'S ROUND
ROBIN
Moving a resolution in the Senate
on March 3rd to reject the League of
Nations Constitution as now drafted,
Senator Lodge, the minority leader,
managed to read a list of tho names
of thirty-seven Republican senators
who had signed a Round Robin cir
culated by him as signifying their
disapproval of the treaty. Those
thirty - seven Republican senators
will, in the next Congress, constitute
more than one-third of the body
which must ratify any treaty by a
two-thirds vote before it bt.omes ef
fective. It was reported that there
were some Democratic senators also
anxious to sign the Round Robin,
but that Senator Lodge would admit
only signatures from members of his
own party. These senators (went on
record as demanding the treaty of
Peace first and a Constitution for a
League of Nations afterwards.
The following is the text of the
resolution to reject the League Con
stitution as now drafted and the
names of the senators who signed it:
"Whereas, under the Constitution
it is a function of the Senate to ad
vise and consent to, or dissent from
the ratification of "any treaty of the
United States, and no such treaty
can become operative without the
consent of the Senate expressed by
the affirmative vote of two-thirds of
the senators present, and
"Whereas, Owing to the victory of
the arms of the United States and
of the nations with whom it is asso
ciated, a Peace Conference was con
vened and is now in session at Paris
for the purpose of settling tho terms
of peace; and,
"Whereas, A committee of the con
ference has proposed a constitution
for a League of Nations, and the pro
posal is new before the Peace Con
ference for its considertion;
"Now, therefore, be it resolved,
by the Senate of the United States in
the discharge of its constitutional
duty of advice in regard to treaties
that it is the sense of the Senate
that, while it is the sincere desire
that the nations of the world should
unite to promote peace and general
disarmament, the Constitution of the
League or Nations in the form now
proposed to the Peace Conference
should not be accepted by the United
States.
"And be it resolved further, that it
is the sense of the Senate that the
negotiations on the part of the United
States should immediately be direct
ed to the utmost expedition of the
urgent business of negotiating peace
terms with Germany satisfactory to
the United States and the nations
with whom the United States is as
sociated in the war against the Ger
man government, and the proposal
for a League of Nations to insure
the permanent peace of the world
should be then taken up for careful
and serious consideration.

BROTHERHOOD MEETING BIG
SUCCESS COL. MAY TALKS
One of the best attended Men's
Brotherhood meetings in some time
was held last Friday night ( in the
Congregational church here, when
Colonel John L. May, of the old 3d
Oregon, (was the main speaker. C.
H. Dye, president of the Brotherhood,
presided, and called on Judge J. U.
Campbell, who fought through the
Spanish-American war with Colonel
May, to introduce the speaker. Judge
Campbell said that it was one of the
greatest pleasures of his life to in
troduce Colonel May to an Oregon
City audience; that he was first ser
geant under Colonel May when the
latter was captain in the old nation
al guard of Oregon 20 years ago, and
that in the Philippines Colonel May
and himself often shared the same,
bunk and the "same can of salmon,"
eating with one fork between them.
"As a man, said Judge Campbell,
"Colonel May is made of the right
stuff, and I have seen him under fire
as unconcerned as he sits here to
night.".
Colonel May addressed the gather
ing with a vivid narrative of his ex
periences while in charge of the 162d
infantry (the old 3d Oregon) in
France. He pictured the lifo of a
soldier while in France and spoke
highly of the morale and fighting
qualities of the American soldier. He
claimed that the 162d infantry was
one of the first in France, because
the regiment was ready and, to his
knowledge, the old 3d Oregon has
been ready for the past 20 years.
Colonel May says that most of his
time he spent with the 41st division,
of which his regiment was a unit,
He claims that the 431,000 replace
ment men had passed through this
division to the front trenches. It
was the only division that was suf
ficiently trained so that it could be
used for a training regiment. Col
onel May claimed that the life of a
soldier in France was 99 per cent
hard work, and that one-quarter of
the remaining half per cent was
glory when they arrived home.
Preceding Colonel May's address,
Thomas A. Burke sang two solos, ac
companied by his wife at the piano,
Addresses were made during the
evening by City Superintendent R,
W. Kirk on the relation of the re
turning soldier to the schools; Grant
B. Dimick, on "Back to the Farm;"
Rev. Herbert G. Crocker, on "The
Relation of the Returning Soldier to
the Church." F. W. Parker, Oregon
City's poet, recited a humorous poem
"The Wife's Mistake."
The next meeting of the Brother
hood of the Congregational church
will be held on April 19, when Fred
Lockley, "Y ' secretary in France,
will address the meeting.
WOMEN'S RELIEF CORPS GIVE
BIRTHDAY DINNER TUESDAY
THINK OF THE
Vl
SAVEON SHOES
Clarence J. Bloenker of St. Louis,
Missouri, writes, "I have a pair of
shoes with Neolin Soles and have used
them for two years. I think they will
last another six months."
Mr. Bloenker also recommends -Neolin
Soles for their comfort and
waterproofness.
It is a remarkable fact that Neolin
Soles cost no more than others that
give only ordinary wear. You can
get them on new shoes in many styles
for men, women, and children and
they are available everywhere for re
soling,, too.
And look at the money you save
because you need fewer pairs of shoes
with Neolin Soles. Remember these
soles are made by Science to be espe
cially tough and durable. They are
manufactured by The Goodyear Tire
& Rubber Co. of Akron, Ohio, who also
make Wingfoot Heels guaranteed to
outwear any other heels.

The need for clothing among hun
dreds of thousands of refugees in
parts of devastated Europe is even
more imperative than the need for
food.
That is the reason the American
Red Cross is urgently pushing for
ward its drive for 10,000 tons of us
ed clothing and shoes. The quota for
Portland chapter, including Clacka
mas, Columbia, Multnomah, Tilla
mook, Washington and Yamhill coun
ties, is 100 tons, more than twice the
total asked in any previous clothing
drive. '
Clothing in any quantities may be
consigned to the American Red Cross
receiving station, Marshall Wells
building, Portland, during the week
of the drive, which btgms April 7.
"Send it by freight, parcel post or
interurban truck," said C. B. Waters,
president of the Rotary club, which
organization is directing the drive
for the Red Cross.
If possible, donors of clothing are
urged to send it to their nearest Red
Cross branch or auxiliary, which will
then pack it and ship to Portland.
Here are some of the essential
things wanted:
Suits of all kinds for men, women
and children (no matter if they need
mending); shoes of all sizes tied to
gether in pairs; blankets, canton flan
nel to make garments for new-born
babies; anything that has warmth in
it.
"Fancy appearance is not what
these destitute, freezing people need,"
said Mr. Waters, "they want almost
anything in- the line of clothing to
cover almost actual nakedness,"

A series of military pageants will
be included in the program and the
annual inspection . of the Portland
police department coupled with an ex

the opening day.
The directors have offered a cash
prize of $15 for the best slogan of

FISHERMEN'S UNION HOLD
MEETING AND VOTE CHANGES
At a meeting of the Fishermen's
Union, held in this city Tuesday
evening, it was voted by the mem
bers to introduce at the next elec
tion an amendment to the constitu
tion to abolish the fish and game
commission of the state of Oregon.
It will be proposed by the union to
have the people vote and elect a
master fish and game warden, and
also to submit to the people an
amendment to have the fish and game
laws of each county voted on by the
voters of the county and not by the
state at large. This will provide for
each county to make its own fish and
game laws. A sum of $600 was vot
ed by the union to start the work of
the petitions.
