: WHY NOT A VAST FEDERATED REPUBLIC?
; ilt iin
everywhere assumed that if a settlement of the
Irish question is" reached by negotiation, the project for an
Irish republic must be abandoned.
, , I Batjif De Valera is president of anything it is a republic.
1 1 The bond issue floated among Irish sympathizers in
trus country was to be used m support ol a republican lorm
of government in Iraand j
- - And Vinvinor tirt Tnnnf1t frnm tVip TriaVi rwnnlp
for anything short of a republic, Mr. De Valera arid the other
leaders may be somewhat embossed in scrapping it; even
in favor of a Dominion with powers of self government as
far reaching as those of Canada.
! v l If the British 'throne had been sent io the junk heap in
the World war as so many other thrones equally ancient and
splendid were in Europe, the difficulty of reconciling the
growth of an intense republicanism in Ireland with the pres
ervation! of Ireland's status as part of the great imperial com
monwealth would now be much lessened. Let the United
Kingdom become a republic and the . empire's dominions be
come autonomous states in a vast federated republic, and
Ireland's republican aspirations would be measurably satis
fied without a resort to separation and full independence,
i " i This js a concession, however, which the British people
apparently regard as beyond the bounds of political sanity.
Abandon their monarchy, their throne, their king, their royal
family with its princes .and princesses and all the parapher
nalia of an ancient ceremonial in Parliament and govern
ment? As well one might suggest turning Westminster ab
bey into a motion-picture house! Yet the British people are
far, better prepared" for a republic than the" Germans or the
Austnans were, and, tne .British helped to iorce repuoiican
forms of government on their great enemies in Central Eu
rope. hThe monarchial tradition of the central powers had
never been broken, while that of England had been tempor
arily smashed by Cromwell. If Germany can get along with
out the Hohenzollern family, what makes the present royal
family of Great Britain so indispensable to a self-governing
and democratic people? The empire, it is ordinarily urged,
reauires the crown toehold it together, but France has a great
colonial empire held together under a republic.
! Republics are in fashion.
Only a few kings are left in the world.
I xWhy should the people of Great Britain tax themselves
i for the great expense of maintaining a royal house that does
little PYcentinor rpt. the stvles of hats and coats and socks and
; neckties?
We find the conservative Springfield Republican say
ing: A -:v . '
v ''If the abolition of the throne could effectively promote
the reconciliation between Great Britain and Ireland, its sac
rifice Would be a very cheap price to pay for so necessary a
consummation. The throne is nothing compared with the
unity of the British isles."
- i There' should be a pig club in
every 'Community in the Salem
district. . The local banks, mer
chants and leading people should
see to this. -
; More hogs, more corn, more
cows, .more poultry, more money
for the Salem district. The train
of benefits will be a long one.
; Ambassador, liarvey shocked
prim England by appearing on the
golf course in his shirt sleeves.
Editor Harvey has always fav
ored thlrt-sleeve diplomacy.
! The three members of the new
United States shipping board will
draw a combined salary of $95,

high as the dollar-a-ycar men.
A bill Introduced by. Represen
tative Drane of Florida provides
for a reconstruction of the cal
endar to allow for 13 months,
each with a Friday, the 13th, and
a division of the year also into
four periods of 13 weeks each.
The bill is not likely to have any
luck. 1
President Harcg says that if
he had his life to live over again
he would still . make newspaper
work his profession. Under the
circumstances It would seem un
grateful for htm to repudiate it.

A man was looking for 300
broccoli plants yesterday in Sal?m.
inquiry was made by phone of all
who had announced 8urr-l: broc
coli plants for sale and all were
sold out. If there are any left,
will those who have them pl?as
send word to The Statesman. They
will be advertised free or cost.
The selling1 of the surplus
plants shows that th?re will be a
much larger acreage in the Salem
district than has been estimated.
Salem has In one year become the
broccoli center of the United
States, and if all goes well there
will be a lot of money for distri
bution here lor the broccoli crop

JUBILATION STAGED
i AFTER VOTE COUNTED
I (Continued from page 1.)
roll call was not demanded. A
moment later, Chairman
Fnrrinev trvincr to make him
self heard above the din which
prevailed during three hours
of voting, announced that
sentiment in the committee
of the whole against attacK
incr asnrmlt had been so over
whelming that it wasn't worth
while to go through tne iorm
of calling the roll.
More than 200 committee
amendments, rushed through
rlnrinff the last few days wen
put up to be voted on in a
block. Some merely correct
ed spelling in the bill and some
changed the rates, but the
Democrats, still homing tneir
forces in line compelled a rec
ord vote.
Ire-Var lays Recalled.
Just before the time came to
pass the bill, Representative Gar
ner of Texas, ranking Democrat
on the ways and means commit
tee, stepped to the front with the
expected motion to send the bill
back to its framers with Instruc
tions to strike out the American
valuation and reciprocal provis
ions. This Was where the Re
publicans and Democrats divided
squarely on the whole tariff Is
sues, although they had split
widely on some of the earlier
votes.
'It probably was the first time
since war-time days that the
house found itself with each a
quorum on the eve of a vote.
Fordney Cheered.
Oosine the lone wranele over
the bill. Chairman Fordney then
brought Republican members to
their feet by declaring it would
bring greater prosperity to the
country man u now enjoyeu
The veteran tariff maker, thrilled
by the demonstration, smiled and
bowed and then wheeled about
to wave to the galleries.
The Republicans voting against
the bill were Beck, Wisconsin;
Gahn, Ohio; Knight, Ohio; Lara
nert, Wisconsin; John M. Nelson,
Wisconsin; Sinclair, North Da
kota, and Voigt, Wisconsin.
j Southern Democrat for Rill
Democrats voting for it were
Campbell. Pennsylvania; Dupre,
Afartin, Favrot and Lazaro, Lou
isiana; Lea and Raker, Califor
nia. ;
.! Representative London, Social
ist, New York, voted against it.
After the house had passed the
bill and adjourned until Monday,
Chairman Fordney and Represen
tative Garratt of Tennessee, the
acting minority leader, issued
statements defending and de
nouncing it.
1 Declaring the measure a "mon
strosity," Mr. Garrett declared
that the Democrats were given
"Just five opportunities to win.
and they won all five."
Amendments lew.
"If the bill had been opened
up for amendment under th?
general rules of the house," he
added, "there Js no telling what
would have happened to it. When
I say five opportunities. I mean
In the house itself. Of course,
we had a few chancer in the com
mittAA nf the whol and there we
defeated the increase of duties
upon leather, boots and shoes and
upon cotton manufactures.
"ThAro worn nnlv 22 lines Of
the bill out of 8630 lines, read
for amendment. Not a member
cf the house except tne majority
members of the wajs ann means
committee had an opportunity
even to offer an aaiendment ex
cept as it was an amendment to a
committee amendment.
'By such methods was Wis
monstrosity passed. The day of
retribution will come."
Ad Valorem lowered.
Although no direct comparison
was made with rates in the Tayne
Aldrich bill which figured so
largely In the political discussion..
Chairman Fordney declared tie
average ad valorem rates in his
bill were silgh'ly lower.
- -The passage, ol tho tariff tit:
by tho house-with a rubstaniifci
majority," Mr. Fordney slu
marks the conclusion of an im
portant step' in the return f Am
