APPEAL MADE FOR
IRISH LANGUAGE
prosecution of Armen Schmoll. of ITS
West Seventy-second, street, who was
driving 40 miles an hour up Broadway
when the motor policeman ran him
down at Two hundred and forty-third
street after a chase of IS blocks.
Schmoll acknowledged that Hag
gerty spoke truly.
"Well, there's a place for kissing a
girl and there's a place for driving an
automobile," said Magistrate Corrlgan
with magisterial severity.
"I realize that now, your honor." said
Schmoll. looking very uncomfortable.
The young man then paid a 125 fine
and hurried away to the Yorkvlile Po
lice Court, to which he also had been
summoned to explain his speeding.
That summons was handed to him in
Fifth avenue earlier In the evening.
The young man's mother received the
news that her son had been fined with
unconcern.
"He's a good boy," said Mrs. Schmoll.

fpeaker Declares Day Is Coming
When Representatives of Press
Will Have to Know Ancient
Tongue to Continue Useful.
DUBLIX. Dec 8. (Special.) Lord
Ashbourne made an appeal tor the
atudy of the Irish language the other
day when he opened the Winter ses
sion of the Gaelic League, more the
National dress, anil spoke for a time In
Caellc
He armed that It was better to teach
Irish children at school their National
language than IntermeeVate French or
German. It would give ttiem self-re
spect and pride for their eountry. He
belonged to a family of Ulster Scots.
rut after 300 years tt was about time
that people like himself should give In
and stand with the Irish people. What
ever else his ancestors came to Ireland
for, ic was not to be made English
men. The moHt fundamental thing
people could do was to be true to their
language. The representatives of cul
ture might argue that It meant Isola
tion, but his lordship said that he could
show it was the Englishman who was
Isolating himself.
"He is the most prejudiced, insular,
riarrow-minded and Impossible person
the world has ever seen, he added.
"Anyone who has gone to the Con
tinent knows what an utterly Incapable
fool the representative of John Bull Is
when you meet him. He looks for his
own language, his own civilization,
customs and habits wherever he goes,
nid he complains when he does not get
mem.
Radish Dries;. Is Assertloa.
An English atmosphere, his lordvhlp
asserted, was essential to an English
man abroad before he managed to live.
He learned nothing, and saw nothing,
and came back as he went an Insular
Englishman. The Irish wanted to be a
progressive people and among the cul
tured nations of the world. The best
way to do that was to be Irish instead
of speaking a language which rejoiced
In its Insularity, and which was on the
wane, because Its sounds were dying,
both vowels and consonants.
A woman once told him that English
should be spoken with the Hps. When
a language began to be spoken in that
way, tt meant that It was preparing to
die or to emigrate. "If we Irish want.'
be added, "not only to keep In touch
with the great world outside, but also
to be capable of pronouncing con
tinental languages, we must avoid
speaking the English language."
The French language was largely
connected in its origin with the Gaelic
lunfruages. and there was not a sound
In French which was not in Irish.
Vocabulary Is Dlacasaed.
Another question was whether the
Irish language was to be spoken In Ire
land with an Irish vocabulary or with
an English vocabulary. He had been
for years past wandering about the
country wondering if it would be possl.
ble to address an average meeting of
citizens In a hall of a town in Irish
without using any English. He knew
that it could be done In the country
Tarts of Connemara or Donegal or
Kerry, and he had done It recently him
self In the streets of Galway, but couhl
an audience be found In a big town
capable of understanding Irish?
The thins happened the other day, not
In Galway, or Cork, or Limerick, but In
the capital of the black North In Bel
last. Nest morning the speech he de
livered there, without using a word of
English, appeared In the daily papers.
The number of people speaking Irish
was increasing, and his lordship said
that It would gradually be necessary
for the representatives of newspapers
to have a knowledge of the language-

"Policy Would Rejoice Hearts of So
cialists," Is Comment "Store
Promises," Asserts Dally
Mall in Editorial.
LONDON. Dec 8. Lloyd-George's
land reform speech at Swindon has set
the Unionist newspapers writing about
the Chancellor of the Exchequer In
terms which recall the flavor of four
years ago. The new muzzle which he
proposes to put on the land monopo
lists his land ministry, with Its land
commissioners fills them afresh with
the old horror.
The Daily Telegraph "shudders to
think" what the new authority will do:
the Yorkshire Post can recall only one
parallel to It "the famous revolution
ary tribunal set up In Paris to bring
on the Reign of Terror": the Manches
ter Courier finds the star chamber a
more helpful analogy; the Morning
Post discerns "a policy which may re
joice the hearts of Socialists", and the
Daily Graphic thinks that It cannot
fall to All "all but the most rabid of
Socialists" with the gravest appre
hension." The Times gravely chides the
Chancellor with distracting public at
tention from that much more living
and fruitful topte, the feud between
Protestants and Catholics In Ulster.
The Dally Mall says that Lloyd
George's speech may best be summar
ized as "more promises" on a scale
which eclipses all his past achieve
ments in that direction. The govern
ment Is to Inaugurate a new golden
age for agriculture by the device of es
tablishing a Land Ministry at an an
nual cost of 3100,000. The new Insti
tution is to raise- wages, to lower
rents, to buy derelict land and cover It
with crops of "rare and refreshing
fruit."
Lloyd -George's programme cannot
take effect until after the next rcn
eral election.
RAILWAYS TD BE PROBED
RELATION OF ROADS TO STATE TO
BR LEARNED MY ENGLAND.
Aatloaallsatloa of Systems believed
Oaly Feasible Solntloa of Problem
Reeeatly Developed.
LONDON. Dec 8. (Special.) The
government has appointed a Royal
Commission to inquire Into the rela
tionship between the railway com
panies and the state, with the Earl of
Loreburn as chairman. One of the
leaders of the labor party says that
those members of the government who
take a particular Interest in labor prob
lems have been greatly concerned with
the railway situation ever since the
strike of 1907. Experience showed that
the conciliation boards established In
that year to decide disputes respecting
wages and hours were a complete fail
ure: and In 1911 the widespread feel
ing of disaffection among all classes of
railway men culminated In what was
the most serious strike which this
country has yet known.
When this strike had at length been
decided the government Instituted spe
cial Inquiries Into all the circumstances
connected with the dispute,' the argu
ments for both masters and men be
ing carefully considered, and Its at
tention was directed to certain special
points.
It may be confidently asserted thst
the government has now decided. In
principle, that a scheme of nationalisa
tion Is the most feaslblo plan that can
be put forward to meet the difficul
ties. Wages and working conditions
being excluded from Its scope, the com
mission now appointed will have as Its
chief work the consideration of the
purely financial aspect of the question
of nationalization.
But a general election at some not
very remote date is a possibility. Min
isters are bent on creating an atmos
phere favorable to themselves, should
they be driven to that desperate re
sort. The railway commission natur
ally will take some years In maklnir
Its report, and If its composition sug
gests that It is not likely to favor any
wild projects or to r-hear the railway
shareholder too closely. It can always
be paraded as a liberal asset.
The real Issue before the govern
ment and the nation Is not tho na
tionalization of the railways nr Lloyd
George's great plan for creating a new
bureaucracy to play the part of Provi
dence towards agriculture. The real
problem Is the problem of Ulster. All
other questions are of second-rate im
portance until the Irish problem Is
solved.
Another subject thst Is likely to be
