ULSTER TRIES TO DICTATE Minority Presents Solid Front In Protest Asrainst Measure Now Up for Passage and Would Rill It at Any Cost. DCBL.IN". Aug. 1". (Special.) Pre mier Asquith" s visit to 'Ireland has stirred up a great deal of discussion. It appears to be a fixed Idea with the unionist newspapers of England that a British Prime Minister cannot come to Ireland to address an assembly of Irishmen without doing; something which is derogatory to his office or without displaying himself "in chains" to the leaders of the Irish party. "There is," says the London Times, "all the difference In the world between the comparatively superficial divisions of rarty In England and the profound chasm that divides the two schools of opinion in Ireland, and therefore. It la improper for Jlr. Asquith to present himself on the Dublin side of that gulf or to address a sympathetic audience In that city." . But it is not improper for Bonar Ut or any leader or the opposition to present himself in Belfast and encour age the I'lstermen to fight in the last ditch. The Belfast demonstrations in surli circumstances are impressive and important, whereas the Dublin demon stration is of no account. Mr. Asquith. says the Times, must be aware that "the two demonstrations have far dif ferent values for the purpose of any estimate of the real situation or the elemental forces that have to be reck oned with." Y I on point la Strained. It is clearly the honest opinion of the writer quoted that the fart that the great majority of the-Irish people want home rule is of no account beside the fac t that a small minority do not want it. It Is his honest opinion that the Prime Minister, who sides with the majority, is guilty of a sort of treason to the British cause. He cannot con ceive of a British Prime Minister be ing favorable to home rule as an Im perial policy; he can only conceive of him surrendering against his better Judgment to tyrannical 'masters, who "parade him as an ally and a hostage." In his view the struggle of the minority against home rule Is "elemental," whereas the long struggle of the ma jority for home rule deserves neither deference nor respect. As between the two parties. It is the business of the British Prime Minister to give his vote unhesitatingly for the minority. If anyone will think out this line of reasoning and Its Implications, lie will begin to understand what is meant by the "ascendency" view of the Irish question and the nature of the "chasm" which is supposed to exist between par ties in Ireland. Mr. Asquith, in the course of his admirable speech, gave a careful analysis of the views which had been set before him by deputations from Ulster, deputations which he treated with the utmost respect. Ho asked them whether they had any sug gestions to make for the improvement of the home rule bill or the strength ening of the safeguards against the evils which they feared. They had no suggestion to make, and would have nothing less than the total rejection of the whole bill. Their attitude Is simply that they will not have home rule on any terms, though three-fourths or four-fifths of their fellow-countrymen are asking for It; and they speak as if one-half the Province of Ulster had an inalienable right to veto any scheme for the government of Ireland, how ever heavily indorsed by Irish or Brit ish majorities, which does not carry their approval. lister In Opposition. Now, this undoubtedly Is the theory on which all British parties acted dur ing the greater part of the last cen tury, and on which the Unionist party Js now acting. The Irish minority in Ulster is. from their point of view, all the Ireland that need be considered. The imperial government and the Irish administration at Dublin Castle have reflected this opinion, with the result that since the act of union the govern ment of Ireland has been neither a pop ular government nor an efficient bu reaucracy. Its constitution prevented its being popular, the claims of the minority to control the machinery and to fill the appointments prevented it from being efficient. iAnd all steps to Improve it. whether undertaken by the Unionist party or the Liberal party, have encountered the bitter hostility of the leaders of the Ulster party, who have seen in every attempt to popu larize the administration or liberalize the policy a threat to their own domi nant position. Naturally they resist home rule, which aims a deadly blow at ascend ency politics, but it must now be clear to sensible people that the one chance of arresting the decay of Ireland and establishing Its government on a foot ing which promises some measure of prosperity and content lies In vetoing their veto. Xo Liberal party worthy of the name could shirk this task. Mr. Asquith's claim that the third home rule bill Is the best that has been proposed to Parliament Is a good one, and his prediction that it will become law Is sure of fulfillment. When the bill Is law the visits of English states men to Dublin will be of everyday occurrence, and their co-operation in the common cause will be an estab lished fact.

LONDON. Aug. 17. (Special.) To show that well-trained babies are gen erally good babies, a novel competition was held at the St. fancras scnooi xor Mothers. Ampthlll square, the other day, the results of which were so satis factory that the Judge awarded every entrant a prize. Every since the school authorities In vited the mothers to take part in the good babies competition there has been keen excitement In the district, excite ment which reached a climax when nine mothers arrived early In the morning, each one fully convinced that her offspring was about to establish a record In good behavior. A bath was the first item on the pro gramme, through which rather trying ordeal every baby emerged tearless and triumphant, thereby adding to tne air firulty of the Judge's task, who, sur rounded by exemplary babies, was obliged to award marks to the mothers for method. Instead of to the Iniants for conduct. The most searching part of the test. however, came after the Infants had been dressed and fed. when they were carried out Into the garden and de posited in cots, where they were left to prove their goodness by lying quiet or going to sleep, for a full hour, dur ing which time they were under the observation of an official. Such a thing as a comforter Is never seen within the walls of the St. Pancras School, and its use was strictly pro hibited, while the fact that not one of the babies lost marks on account it whining or tears, speaks well for the loyalty with which the mothers practice the Instruction they receive.

An air of uncertainty surrounds the disposition of the second indictment against Clar- after. a conference between Mr. Whit man and Detective Burns. It Is declared a Burns man paid a prominent police ofriclal J1800 in all for protection for his establishment. The additional illuminating detail was added that the demands of the police having become so Insistent, and their percentage so great the "plant" man ager complained that all of his profits were go'ing out in protection money. Police Order "Crooked Wheel." "No wonder," he was informed. "Tou are running a straight wheel." He insisted he wanted to play on the square, but again he was told there would be more for both himself and the police if he should put In a "crooked" wheel. Relenting, there upon, the detective asked where he was to get one. "I'll send yon one," said his pro tector, and in due time there arrived a wheel which was operated against the player by an electric button placed under a rug. It required only a short investiga tion as to the source of this wheel, according to the story, to demonstrate that it was one that had been con fiscated by the police In a raid on an other institution a short. time before. Burns is said to have seen the former owner of the wheel and got his identi fication of It.

The second indictment alleges that Darrow bribed T. F. Bain, the first Juror sworn to try the Mc Xamara case. District Attorney Fredericks reiter ated today his determination to bring Darrow to trial on the Bain indict ment, but he declined to say what date he would recommend for the setting of the trial when opposing counsel ap pear before Judge Hutton tomorrow afternoon for that purpose. It was annouueed yesterday that Judge Hut- ton would be asked to set the date at that time, but the District Attorney said today that there might be some delay in that procedure as he. had not definitely determined wnat request to make, it also was probable, he said. that the defendant might have some re quest to make of the court.

WIFE SAYS HOUSE IS UNFIT Coos Bay Man Contests Divorce Suit; .Watching of Food Annoys. LOS ANGELES. Aug. 18. (Special.)

Confusion caused by the similarity of the names of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife of the .Democratic candidate for President, and Mrs. Wilson Woodrow, writer ot magazine stories and author of "The New Missloner" and "The Sil ver Butterfly," has been caused to the embarrassment of both women, who are prominent claimants of public attention. Mrs. Woodrow Wilson has recently had occasion to deny with indignation an article in a Columbus, Ohio, news- .. BvihtitiTicr r Vi or views indors ing the smoking of cigarettes by wo men, inis is a practice m wmw o.w does not believe at all and her flat de nial resulted in the discovery that it was Mrs. Wilson Woodrow who really held that opinion. Mrs. Woodrow said, however, when the denial of Mrs. Wilson was printed, that the mistake had not always been made on that side. "The same Ohio town," she said, "per petrated a mistake on me that I feel as keenly as Mrs. Wilson feels about smoking. A year ago an article came out in Columbus with the title 'Mrs. Wilson's Views on the Training of Children.' And above it all was my Dicture with Mrs. Wilsons name un derneath. Naturally, I wasn't any too pleased with the combination, for I have never naa any cnnaren ami fra ably wouldn't know how to give a baby its bottle." Mm.
