DESTINY SETTLED
AI PARIS
I
DUBLIN. (CorrespomleneoJ of the
Associated Press.) Captain Steph
en L. Qwynn. former notionalist mem
bcr of pnrlintnont, now chairman of
tlio oxecutive committee of the Irish
Center pnrtv, and several Irish na
tionalint offit'ers who served in the
war. have sent nri appeal to Premier
Lloyd Geoiire to ; submit the Irish
question to the pence conference.
Captain Gwynn was active in the
voluntary recruiting' movement in
Ireland in the latter part of the war
when it was feared thnt conscription
would be imposed upon Ireland. "
In a 'letter to the premier. Captain
Gwynn and his associates say that
the problem of Ireland could not be
better described than in the wonls of
President Poincare in outlining the
task ot the peace conference as be
ine to'"rcmnke the map of the world
and respect the rie-hts of nations,
small and Croat, to dispose of them
selves." .
By these terms, asserts Captain
Gwynn and his fellow officers, "the
peace conference is indicated as tue
bar v before which Ireland's claim
should be heard and indued. Ventur
, inir to affirm that we speak not for
ourselves alone," continues the letter,
"but for the tens of thousands of
Irish nationalists who went out witn
the same purpose that inspired us
and; of ' whom many thousands can
' never speak atrain we submit to von
respectfully that the Irish Question
should go to the arbitrament of the
peace conference.
"The Irish difficulty lies partly in
Ireland, 'between a majority and a
minority: but it lies also between Ire
land. and England. You who have ac
cepted the principle of international
ly determined equities between nation
an dnation cannot in honor and in
justice claim that as between Eneland
and Ireland, England should be the
sold iudce.
"Not only in the interest of our own
conhtryj but in the interest of the
world's venee. which must always be
in Jeopardy while a nation small or
sreat lives under a deep seated sense
of ancient and ranklinir injustice, we
ask vou with the utmost earnestness
to submit our case and yours, our
nalionut difficulty and your imperial
ditficulty, to the-ereat assize of na
tions.'? i . - '

ON WASHINGTON.
HPHE 187th anniversarv of the birth of Georeo.Wnsli-
niglon finds the "small Americans" of today usii'i:
the utterance of the first great Anierieail as' tut' excuse
for opposing human progress in the form of tho proposed
league or nations. ,. Y
Tho advice of the "Wither of His Country" to -"avoid
entangling alliances'' was the best advice for the new
born nation menaced by the greed of European belliger
nnts and served its purpose well, but it was not meant to
govern all futurity.
'. Washington himself was no worshiper of precedent
had he been, he would not have refused to pay the tax im
posed upon imports by constitutional authority; he would
not have led the armies of the revolution in their war
against established order; ho would not have presided at
a constitutional convention creating a new nation; and he
would not have violated all the precedents of history
by refusing power his prestige had placed with grasp
"Washington was not born great but was educated
into greatness by the weight of responsibility east upon
him. He fully realized that progress, whether in the in
dividual or nation, meant the break with precedent ami
tradition and the loyaltv of the voting hero of the French
and Indian war' to the throne, under chanced conditions!
became tlie bitter enmity that overthrew tyranny.'
Washington was not even much of an admirer of the
constitution of the United States, whose drafting he as
sisted in. He remarked: "It is the best constitution that
could beobtained at that epoch, and that this or a disso
lution awaits our choice, and is the only alternative." He
was far front regarding it as the sacred instrument, to tie
national and human progress that reactionaries have since
proclaimed it m their efforts to perpetuate the old order
amid the drifting sands of time..
The constitution itself was received with misuiviiiffs

Relative to the report published in

negotiating for a lease of the railroad

tained the lease, as now seems proba
ble, he would "not only operate it as a
loeinne road between bis lumber mill
at Medford and his loireine camp nt
Jaokson creek, but would continue to
operate the passenger car between tho
two hiunicipalities on a strictly reeu-

Mr. Gucnon will start up his lumber
mill at once after obtaining the lease.

"The Country Cousin" -comine to
the PoRe Monday, February 21th. with
Miss Carlisle m the stellar role, is a
smart satire on New York societv and
not a rural play as its name mieht
indicate. Its characters and situa
tions are said to be ns real as every
day life itself. The authors of the
play. Booth Tarkincton and Julian
street, have devised a most striking
contrast of types and at the same
time have unfolded a delightful story
teemine with romance and with sev
eral dramatic climaxes well worth
While. . : ' . r- - ; .. ;
"The Country Cousin" is the play
which d urine its Ion? run at the
Gaiety theater. New York, was os
birfily endorsed bv the late Col.
Roosevelt. In Washington, President
Wilson also ercw enthusiastic over
the play and company nnd wrote Miss
Carlisle a letter of the highest com
mendation. -. ,
The play tells the story of a Vonne
eirl in an Ohio town, wealtlw in her
own rieht. who leaves home that she
mav exeperience life. Her father
years' 'jefore, ,'ias been divorced bv
bis, wife and married nuain and the
daushtor is persuaded to make her
home with them. The vountr eirl does
not realize it is her money that her
father is after, and thinus are' in a
