JUNE 8, 1919. STATE HIGHWAY BODY FACES BUSY SESSION OFFICERS OF STATE CONFECTIONERS' ASSOCIATION TO PARTICI PATE IN CONVENTION TUESDAY. lire. 16 What AfooMlt 1 TT? Delegations From 18 Counties Expected to Attend. ALL EAGER TO PUSH WORK Tuesday's Session Will Consider Grading: and Paving Contracts East of Cascades. "We can't tell." the state highway Commission has been saying to deputa tions from various sections, "what we can do for your county in the way of co-operation until the result of your county road bond election is known. Come see us after the election." And in consequence, there is a pros pect of delegations coming from about IS counties when the commission holds its meeting Tuesday. It is now con sidered a certainty the commission will require at least two days for the ses sion. After the business is transacted, the entire commission with the state highway engineer, will go on an in spection tour in southern Oregon to make a personal observation on which to base their decision as to certain lo cations. "We will do something for you, the best we can do," the commission has stated to the county delegations, "but how can we tell the amount until we hear from the other counties and ascer tain what is expected of us and. how far we can go?" Assurance has been given of co-operation by the state, and this fact was material in bringing about the success ful passage of bond issues for roads in the special election Tuesday. There was not a county where a road bond issue was voted on that the bonds did not carry. These county bonds total in excess of J5.000.000. In some counties the money is for local roads and is to be expended on a programme cover ing a period of three to five years. Such is the case in Marion county. The Dalles Road Helped. There should be an impetus given The Dalles-California highway, at the coming meeting of the commission, since all of the counties through which this proposed artery threads its way has voted bonds to help build the road. Jef ferson, Deschutes, Klamath and Lake have each voted bonds to aid. Also, all counties, except one, through which the John Day highway passes, have voted bonds, and every county from the ocean to the Idaho line, across which the sev eral roads planned from Newport to Corvallis. from Corvallis to Albany; from Albany to Sisters; from Sisters to Burns, via Bend; from Burns to Vale and Ontario, have carried bond issues. Generally speaking, counties on the proposed through routes of travel have bonded themselves to speed the day when they will be connected up. Such county bond money as is to ap ply on the state roads will materially increase the funds available for de veloping and, in sections, completing me comprenensive road map of Oregon. It will, of course, be impossible for the commission to handle all the hoped-for projects this year. Several years will be required to bring some of the roads under contract, possibly, but the pros pects are that in 1920, with the Colum bia highway and the Pacific highway completed, or at least graded, the en tire length, work will be under way on the other primary roads and some of the secondary routes of traffic. Contracts for Gradlns In. At the Tuesday meeting contracts will be let for many miles of grading and macadamizing east of the Cascade range. There will be bridge contracts. too. but the paving contract to be let -will be for paving near Svenson to ward Clatskanie. Once the commission has determined in the amount of co-operation with the counties bonding themselves, the gen eral scope of future work will be lined out. Locations will have to be made on the John Day highway .the central Oregon highway and The Dalles-California highway. When the commission has determined on the locations the next step will be advertising for bids and awarding contracts. At least two counties are preparing for a flying start and expect action this summer. One is Polk county. So confident was 1. L. .Patterson that Polk county would vote its bonds that he urged the commission to advertise for bids on the Dallas-Salem post road project, promising to defray the cost of advertising if the bonds were re jected. Plan Saves Time. By this foresight work is advanced on this project by about two months and a start can be made this summer. Deschutes county also took time by the forelock. The commission was short of enginers to survey a section of the trunk road through Deschutes, so the road boomers up there induced the city engineer of Bend to forget the city, gather a crew ana go into the field on the survey work of the highway. It is expected that the survey report will be ready to be acted on when the com mission meets this week. During the summer Hood River and Union counties plan special road bond elections, under the new amendment to the constitution enabling counties to go into debt 6 per cent of the assessed valuation tor roads instead of z per cent. Mood Kiver wants to raise enough money to hard surface a road through the valley from the Columbia highway to the Mount Hood loop. Lmon county intends connecting all the populous centers for the county with hard-sur face roads. For counties desiring to develop loca roads, there will be available nex year the one-mill market road tax. Each, county participating, however, must tax itself to raise a sum equa to the amount apportioned to it. Whil the county courts are to have control of roads constructed under this tax law. all the locations, 'surveys and esti mates must be made by the state high way commission. si ''Iff V I - !,-' $ m - . - f s ' v ' - -x i I v ' t ' f JOr -T car' & r7T CANDY MAKERS TO MEET STATE CONVENTION" AVILIi HELD TUESDAY.

' Obituary. By George Creel in Leslie's Weekly, May 24, 1919. The mere presence in Dublin of American citizens has been de nounced in certain English circles as nothing less than an unwarranted in terference in the Irish problem. The Morning Post, that faithful echo of the policies and positions of British Toryism, was exercised to the point of insisting that the "American am bassador ought to be told that the United Kingdom does not tolerate in terference in its domestic affairs. They are our business and the busi ness of nobody else." LA GRANDE, Or., June 7. A. S.

This sort of bourbonisnv was one of the moving causes of the great war, and it is the persistence of such national attitudes that will make world peace less fhan permanent. The assumption that Ireland is forbidden ground to all save Britons and Scots, that the Irish are to be held incom municado, and that the simple unoffi cial business visit of private citizens of the United States may be branded as "interference," is the last word in irritation. There has been entirely too little plain speech at the peace conference. A theory was developed at the first, and seems to have grown, that the gathering was one of loving friends, and that only pleasant truths might be uttered lest a harsh word hurt or alienate. In Its essence the Peace Conference is a busi ness meeting. Friendship has nothing to do with it. Certain nations, drawn together by common interests, associated in a common purpose, nave fathered to agree upon a plan that will free the uture of international quarrels, as far as may be possible, by the provision of machinery for the promotion of international contracts, conferences and co-operations. It is an experiment in common sense, not an adventure In friendship. Each nation owes it to the other to point out the things that mreaien, or may come to threaten the understand ing that is being worked for. A firm founda tion Is the oniv hone. Festering lniustice is a. rotten stone to build on. France's claim to perpet ual ownership of the Saar basin compelled a certain frankness, as did Italy's amazing pretense to the whole Dalmatian Coast. This was not dirtatinn or quarreling, but merely an insistence that conquest snouiu not. oe coniused wun indemnification and that world pace should not be endangered by the creation of new jrridentas. It might be well at the present time to deal with England in the same spirit of frank honesty, for only plain speech can remeay a situation tnal may yet reach a point where it will impair, if not destroy, the co-operative relations between the United States and the l.'tiiteil Kingdom.

Amerlcaa Interest America has a peculiar interest in the Irish question, for in the United States there are about firteen million people or Irish birth or descent figurinar prominently in everv activity of the na tional life and with a record of patriotism u n -smirched by a single blot. Men of Irish blood gave strength and courage to Washington; Meagher and his famous Irish Brigade were only a small part of the great Gaelic force that whs Lincoln's pride and denedence. and when America took the field in defense of the free institutions that were menaced by German imperialism, fully 15 per cent of our fighting force hailed Ireland as their motherland. This record these men present a' demand that America may not out aside. That Ireland has wrongs terrible, intolerable has been admitted by every great English states GEORGE CREEL Was appointed by President Wilson in 1917 as chairman on public information, and served in that capacity throughout the war. This committee was the official channel of informa tion concerning war policies in this country, and directed American propaganda in foreign conntries. Because of his position, Mr. Creel is undoubtedly one of the best informed men in the United States. Mr. Creel accompanied President Wilson to the peace conference, and on his way home visited Ireland to make a study of conditions in that country. man from Pitt to Lloyd George, by every great his torian from Clarendon down. Gladstone scourged his countrymen for their barbarous treatment of the unhappy island, and retired to private life when the House of Lords vetoed his Home Rule bill. Macaulay invariably alluded to Ireland as a captive Erovince won and held by the sword, and many of is finest passages deal with the savageries and corruptions of English rule. The pages of Green and Lecky are thick with condemnations of English policy, and no Irishman has ever painted Irish con ditions more mercilessly than Lloyd George, who rose to power on a Home Rule platform. For teres lonar eentnrlea the Irish people have fovcht to expel the Kag-Hsh Uvader. Defeats have crushed them, famines have weakened them, re pressive laws have destroyed their industries, ex tortionate taxes have robbed them, despair and starvation have exiled them, but never have they surrendered, never have they pledged loyalty and allegiance to England in token of submission. In 1841 the population of Ireland was over 8.000,000; today it is little more than 4.000,000. Despite nat ural increase, a nation drained of half its people in seventy-three years! And there is the testimony of economists like John Stuart Mill that Ireland, under proper government could support a population of 25.UOO.00U. The Asrony of Centuries. A brief survey of Irish history, gleaned entirely from English sources, may serve to give Americans a better understanding of the profound bitterness that fills the heart of every Gael. The first Inva sion of Ireland was in 1169, when Strongbow. Earl of Pembroke, came at the head of a force of Anglo Norman adventurers. It was no savage land they entered, for as far back as the Roman conquest of Britain, Irish culture was famous throughout Europe. Hftirv the Second followed Strongbow. heading an army of 10.0UO. but while he gained success in Munster and Leinster, he was beaten back in Ulster and C'onnaught. King John failed tqually, and when Edward the Second cams with a greater army, tho lrih made alliance with the Scots, accepting Edward Bruce as an elected sovereign. Kdwaril won decisive victories, but by 1304 the English occupation of Ireland was again confined to a fer fortified towns. Richard the Second, resolving upon complete conquest, came with 34,000 trained soldiers, but the Irish crushed him. und when he tried a second time in 13'J9, hi3 defeat was even more overwhelming. Came then the Henrys Fourth. Fifth and Sixth and Edward, third of his name, and each knew his disasters in connaoiio.i with the Irish invasion. Henrv the Eighth introduce! artillery into Irish warfare, and beat down the pikes of he Irish, but Elizabeth had the misfortune to see a military genius rise to povr in Ireland. Shane the Proud, Earl of Tvrone, called his people to arms in loil; and for sixteen years he defeated the greatest generals that England could send against him. In 1579 the Geraldine once Normans but now more Irish than the Irish begged aid from Spain and Italy, and struck their blow tor Irish freedom, but the might of England crushed them, and the land was laid waste until the wretched inhabitants, hiding in glens and bigs, ate nettles in the futile endeavor to sustain life. No barbarity was spared to exterminte the Irish, but again in 1594, under Hugh O'Neil and Hugh O'Donnell. the lndoxnitabia people rose in a new revolt. For ten years they beat back the armies of England, yitldinc in the eua only mruuga starvation. James the First Introduced tha nollcv of whole- Bale confiscation as well as one of religious bigotry. Irish Catholics were excluded from every right oC citizenship, and the province of Ulster was takeu way from the native owners and given to English enl Scotch Protestants, who might not even have Irish tenants. The tyrannies of Charles the First were even more cruel, and In 1641 the Irish roso again under the brilliant leadership of Owen Roe O'Neill, woo led them to victory lor eight years. His death left the Gaels withcut a leader great enough to withstand the invasion of Cromwell. Not as long as Ireland is Ireland will the memories of Cromwell perish. As well ask Belgium to forget the Germans. Massacre piled on massacre, soldiers and civilians being butchered without distinction, and even children being Killed under Cromwell'a grim order that "nits make lice.' Women, boys and girls were sold into slavery, whole shiploads being sent to Barbadoes, and in 1653 the English. Parliament declared the whole of Ireland forfeit As Green exclaims: "No such doom had ever fallen on a. nation in modern times." In 1690, however, the nation was again strong; enough to back the fortunes of the exiled Stuart but the Battle of the Boyne crushed their hopea. Willlam of Orange, at head of veteran mercenaries from Prussia, Holland, Sweden and Denmark, scat tered the Irish before him. The treaty of Limerick, ' that marked the end of fighting, was a fair one, but the English Parliament refused to abide by it in a. single particular, and again there were bloody reprisals, wholesale confiscations and famines thaX sent a. half million Irish into foreign service. In the century that followed, rebellion was con stant but unorganized, and it was not until the American Revolution engaged England's attention, that the Irish were able to threaten. In ITS'!, facing revolution or concession, the legislative independence of Ireland was granted. It was soon, however, that England controlled the Parliament and the people continued to groan under cruel laws and outrageous taxes. In 179S. the United Irishmen, a. Protestant body, launched the revolution that cost 70,000 lives, and in 1S03, Robert Emmet rose to carry on the Irish tradition. England's answer was the torture house and the gallows, followed quickly, by the Act of Union that wiped out the Irish Par liament. To use the words of Gladstone. 'I know no blacker, no fouler transaction in the history of man than the making of the Union between Eng land and Ireland." There came then the Tithes War in 1830: the revolution of 1848 followed the terrible famine of 1845 that cost a million and a half lives, and in 1867 the Fenians tried to overthrow English rule. The rebellion In 1810, when studied, la aeea to be no more than the logical earrylnc on of a aeven rrntury atruggle for freedom. The Irish want to be free, freedom Is the answer and the end of, the ao-called "Irish question.'' Her Political Stncilo. The constitutional struggle is no less disheart ening than the military record. Gladstone first proposed Home Rule for Ireland in isf.6. In 18i" he drove it through the House of Commons only to have it vetoed bv the Lords. The Liberal party, accepting Home Rule as a principle, passed it througrt the House in 1912. 1913 and 1914. when all that it needed to become a law was the King's signature. War broke, and Redmond straightway pledged his country and his countrymen to the cause of the Allies. Six weeks later the bill was sent to the King, but with it. for signature with the same pen. went a suspensorv measure postponing Home Rule a operation indefinitely. The Irish were not allowed to have a brigade of their own. Irish flags were forbidden. Irish Catholic regiments were given, English and Ulster Presbyterian officers, and free speech and free press were buried under a weight of repressive laws that filled every prison for the most trivial offenses. The leaders of the Lister rebellion Carson. Ronar Law, Smith, cordon. Lon5 and others were lifted to high places in the gov ernment, but even with it all. the war records sliow that a quarter million Irish fought under the ban ner of England. One searches In vain for a single Just reason against Irish Independence. The L lster Problem is bu-combe. for at every point facts dispute ti e claim that Ulster is solidly Protestant, solidly against Home Rule. Three Ulster counties. Donegal, Cavan and Monaghan are so overwhelmingly Cath olic and Home Rule that the Unionists do not even contest elections. In December last the Sinn i eia also carried Fermanagh and Tyrone, and even cap tured the "Protestant stronghold of I'erry t-il. Only in four counties did the Unionists win. This government, by the way. Is the most tiptn slve in the world, being almost three times as costlr as that of Norway. Switzerland or Denmark, pi top of this, the Irish are paying into the English, treasury almost K.0,000.0fV in taxes. This is not a. nratlre In 1S94 a Ulaastone coniuui-iuii i - SoTted that Ireland was paying 113.750 oOO more than her share, and that since the Act of Union in Vioo. Vhe lrith had been overcharged to the amount of J2.000.0O0.00O. And this Act of U nion shot up the Irish national debt lrora $1.000.000 to b0o.- 000.000. Ts-es could be filled with detail as to the dr struc'lfon of industries, the denial of education, the servitude thrust upon the people, tut to what point? It is not for America to decide the Irish question. All' that we can do is to let Eng land know that we feel strongly that there is an Irish question that calls for settlement in the interest of Anglo-American amity, and that must be settled if solemn assertions about the "rights of small nations are not to stand before the world as war buncombe. Another War-Time Secret Now Made Public. Hollow Three-Inch Shell Mounted to Deliver Messages Along the Battle Front In France. TvTEW YORK, June 7. A hollow J.N three-inch shell, fused to emit on striking a gas of smoke-like dens ity by day, and luminous at night, and used to transmit messages from division headquarters to advanced or exposed positions, is another war-time secret which has now been made public. This form of communication was first used by the Germans, and afterward adopted by the allies. A sample of the shell one tha.t was captured from the enemr during the St. Mihiel drive was brought home by Vice-Admiral Albert Gleaves on his return from France. According to Admiral Gleaves, the shell has a range of about 2000 yards. and is self propelling: Its velocity was such as to require 14 seconds to travel that distance, "slow enough," the ad miral said, to enable an active man to dodge it, should he see or hear It com- ing. When it struck, it could b readily located by its emoke cloud by day. or its light by night, picked up, a cap unscrewed and the message In side delivered to the officer.
