I. ' tA01 mm , DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM. OREGON, TUESDAY, ATJQTJBT 5, 1913. Takes View That They Thrive on Coer cion and Wrong Policy If Being Fumed in England. AN TI HOME RULE UNIONISTS IN ENGLAND WILL ASSIST. Drilling for Call to Ami to Resist Au thority of Any Irish Parliament That May Come. ( By Ed L. Keen. CHIT1D run UAm nu London, Aug. 5. Militancy is "re ligious'fanatacisni," according to Mrs. Flora Annie Steele, whose remarkable bookfi on East Indian life have won her tho name of the "female Kipling." Mrs. Steele is a militant, but of the milder variety. Thus far she has con fined her protests against the govern ment's alleged injustice toward women, to refusing to pay taxes. "Eecent events," she said today, "'Bring home the question, 'What should be done for justice and for poacoJ' To begin with, we must set aside those illogical folk whohorri find at violence, inconsistently recog nize it as affecting a question of pure justice. Also we must set asido those who, like slum mothers, belabor their hungry, howling offering's ears with rebounding slaps, shrieking shrilly, 'You shan't 'ave no dinner till ye 're quiet.' "Then we must recognize that the 'outragists' are religious fanatics and that history teaches us that religious fanatics thrive on coercion. "The present partial insurrection of womanhood against it conceives to stand between it and its Ood is not likely to decrease or be decreased. The only way to meet it is by earnestly in quiring first whether the sense of in justice something which creates it is well founded. "The majority of thinking men it England today acknowledge that wo men have suffered and do suffer under our man-made life and laws. Every working mad admits that a widow with children, or she who, standing in tho man's plane, performs his duties, should share his rights. Few deny that women who pay taxes have a claim on the state. "Ought not these admissions be suf ficient for honest Englishmmenf I know it needs pluck to acknowledge past mistakes when ens is smarting under a sense of personal outrage, but the strong Briton, as a role, does not lack pluck. Ho docs, however, require a loader. There should be some man In England strong enough to ariso and gather together this sense of sin and see to it that justice is done." Getting Ready to Fight. Anti-Home Rule Unionists in England arn quietly organizing re-enforcements on this side of .the Irish sea to go to the assistance of the "army of Ulster," which is now being drilled and equipped to resist by force of arms the authority of the Dublin parliament whenever it shall be crcatod. In the past six months, since the "British League for the Support of Ul ster and the Union" was formed, sev eral thousand English Unionists have pledged themselves to respond when ever called. "We are preparing for the worst," today declared one of the officials of the league. "The parliamentary situa tion is hopeless. Tho time for speaking is pant. What wo want now is not the men who will speak for ns, but who will shoot for us. Wo have 110 army ag"nts scattered about England who nr enrolling men to stand by Ulster, whatever the consequences. Ulster is faring the situation with dauntloHs .courage; so lire we English Unionists. In every case, the men enrolled have promised their services without any res ervation. Within three months we shall have 10,0(10 men capable of bear ing arms, anil well orgiinicd, eiwh with his heart and soul in the cause." Lord Willoiighby ile Broke, chairman of tho league, said today: ""In spite of all attempts on the part of tho government and the public to Ignore the facts, the vital matter of the union between Oreat Britain and Ireland is hurrying to a crisis. The Ulstermen have Irrevocably made up their minds not to obey a parliament seated In Dublin, and that they will liot be coerced into doing so without resisting by force of arms. The league expects to show the government that it is not Only Ulster but every Unionist throii(liout all England who are op posed to this so-called home role," Following is the form of an appeal sent out from the league's headquar ters: . M "It is quite clear that. the. men of Ulster are not fighting only for their own liberties, Ulster will be the field on which tho privileges of tho whole nation Itself will be lost or won, "Wo therefore appeal to all British ritUcns who sympathize with Ulster, and who value their own freedom, to join this league that has been formed to support the men of Ulster In the jjreat struggle that lies before them." MORS FORESTS FOR UNCLE SAM ABB PURCHASED tritium rsiss ljissn wiss.l Washington, Aug, 5. -The first gov ernment forest to he acquired upon the watershed of the Ohio river has just been approved for purchase by the na tional forest reservation commission.

SPANISH ARE SMALLEST MEAT EATERS MENTIONED. Consume Only Four Pounds of Mutton and Lamb Per Capita in United State Each Tear. UNITED rUSS LIAUD win. Washington, Aug. 5. Americans are the biggest eaters in the world. They beat Johnny Bull with all his legends about the beef of old England. More over, they eat more beef per capita than the British do. Figures for meat-eating in 1909, just made public by the bureau of animal industry of the department of agri culture, show that the per capita con sumption of meat for that year in the United States was 162.20 pounds, di vided as follows, fractions omitted: beef, 80 pounds; veal, 7; pork, 67; mut ton and lamb, 6; goat meat, 13. Over in England, where they boast about good old roast beef, the per cap ita for that product is only 56 pounds. Moreover, the proportion of beef in the total eaten by the American is exactly the same as for the Britisher 47 per cent. Inhabitants of the "tight little isle" make up their total by enting 26 pounds of mutton a year, as against the Americans 6 pounds. The Spanish are the smallest meat eaters, their per capita consumption heing only 49 pounds. Germany's is 113 pounds. In both Germany and France pork is the favorite meat. "In view of the growing scarcity and high prices of cattle and swine and their products in our markets in recent times, it is well to call atten tion to the comparatively insignificant part played by the bovine species in our meat dietary," the bureau declares. It may be seen that we consume only 8 pounds of mutton and lamb per head a year, which is barely 4 per cent of the total meat supply. When wo com pare this small consumption of mutton with that of England, a very striking contrast is prosentcd. 'Our small consumption no doubt is mainly attributable to the exceedingly heap and abundant supplies of beef and pork which have prevailed in for mer years, thus rending it unnecessary Hto look elsowhere for meat. But the day of cheap meat is past and the' pres ent market prices of food animals point to the fact that it is becoming more and more imperative that every avail able source of our meat supply should bo carefully developed. Hence the nec essity for more sheop farming. 'It is undeniable that the sheep species, both in tho lamb Btage and when older furnishes meat of most ex cellent quality when the animals are suited for this purpose. Therefore the present seems to be an opportune time for stockmen to pay more attention to the raising of sheep for meat produc tion. 'Finally, it would be in the interest of economy for the people generally to cultivate a greater taste for mutton and lamb, especially the smaller fami lies who requiro joints of a sizo that cannot usually be supplied from the larger beef animals, - A moro insistent demand on tho part of the public for mutton and lamb of good aualitv would no doubt Boon lead to an increase of breeding and feeding operations, bo sides relieving somewhat the present heavy demand ,for beef and pork in the lace of a short supply." United States Suprome Court Knocks Out Practice Long Prevalent AU ' Along the Line. A recent decision of the United States supremo court in effect outlin ing the powers of tho judiciary, has knocked out some practices that have prevailed in this state for many years Tho highest court In the land declared three principles: That a compulsory non suif could not be taken at tho end of the plaintiff's testimony; that a de murrer to evidence could not bo sus tained except under certain limited ,'onditions; that after a verdict is ren- lores' by a jury the court has no power to render judgment not in accordance with that verdict. lu recent years H practice has arisen throughout tho land in all courts of setting aside verdicts of juries bv ill liciat mandate, on any one of several grounds, the principal one being that the jury simply erred and thut the evi dence didn't justify the verdict re turned. Others are that errors of law were permitted in the trial that would have prejudicial effect upon members of tho jury. The uMloual supreme court, in set ting up the new rule for tho guidance of federal trial courts, asserts that the right of trial by jury is constitutionally guaranteed and may not be abridged by any act of legislature or court. The rule further is established that what ever error may appear to the court to have been committed by the jury in weighing the value of testimony and the burden of proof is none of the court's affair, and that the judge must render judgment according to the ver dict regardless of any personal ideas of the rightness of the verdict he may entertain. Frequently in practice courts have rendered judgment squarely contrary to the verdict of the jury on the ground that the court erred in some matter of law. The supreme court asserts that such procedure merely denies jury trial, in effect, and sets aside the constitu tion. When such errors of law occur there remains to the litigant the right of jury trial, and all the court may do is to order a retrial. The practice of rendering judgments not in keeping with verdicts rendered by trial juries the supreme court de fines as an usurption of powers not granted to the judiciary, and in effect a destruction of the very foundation of American courts, the trial by jury.
