HARDING AND THE IRISH

Just how much comfort the friend* of Irish freedom will be able to obtain from Senator Harding's letter to Frank P. Walsh is for them to determine. That the letter was written is admitted by Senator Harding’s secretary, the date having been March 24. In it, the Republican presidential candidate expresses sympathy for the cause of Irish independence, and points to the satisfaction it gave him to vote for the peace treaty, after the Irish freedom clause had been incorporated. What Harding said as a senator and what he might say now, as a candidate for president, are two different matters, although there is no way in which he can repudiate his official vote in the senate or deny having written the Walsh letter. Still, it is hard to understand how much is to be gained from what Harding actually said last March. He had sympathy for the Irish cause then. President Wilson, it has been

intimated, has sympathy for the Irish people, but he has not deemed it proper for him to say as much because of his official position. Many people In this country have a kindly feeling toward Ireland’s efforts to become independent, but they reason that it is highly improper for this country to take sides against Great Britain, not only because she was an ally of America during the world war, but on the general principle of non-interference in the domestic affairs of other nations. The Republican national convention refused to insert an Irish freedom plank In the platform, and Senator Harding is running on the platform. He probably would not discuss the Irish situation in a letter to Mr. Walsh now, and if he did so it is not probable that he would take a definite stand. Indorsement of free Ireland would hardly be proper for a man who hopes to become president and retain the friendship of the British government. One thing publication of the correspondence does show is that a candidate never is able to run away from his phst.—lndianapolis News.

DEMOCRATS WILDLY CHEER DISPLAY OF WILSON PICTURE

mention of it in diplomatic correspondence before the United States entered the war to the second refusal of the senate to ratify the treaty that contains it. He quoted utterances of Senator Lodge and the late* President Roosevelt as saying that some concert of power must be formed. He said the last of the 14 points enunciated by President j Wilson had contained practically the language of article 10 of the covenant and that no word had been raised against them. “The real trouble with the treaty,” Mr. Cummings said, “is that it was negotiated by a Democrat.” Uproarious applause welcomed the jibe. When the chairman called the roll of nations already in the league and asked the delegates if they wanted to hear also of neutral states that had or were about to -join, shouts of “tell us,” answered him. Natioh by nation he named them and then asked if- the delegates wished to know what nations had not joined the league. Cries of

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

“yes, yes, tell us,” came from all parts of the floor. “Revolutionary Mexico, Bolshevist Russia, unspeakable Turkey and — the United States of America,” ne answered. A roar swept the hall that look minute to quiet When Mr. Cummings concluded there remained but routine business to be done and it was rushed through without incident and adjournment was taken until this afternoon.

COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES

(By Co. Supt. Sterrett) The regular eighth grade commencement for Walker township was held in the church at Kniman last Thursday evening. Prof. R. A. Talcott of Valparaiso university gave the address of the evening. Mrs. D. M. Fyfe and daughter Elizabeth accompanied Prof. Talcott to Kniman for the exercises. The program was preluded by the Wheatfield band ! giving a little band concert in front j of the church before the exercises i opened. Wheatfield has a fine band and they were much appreciated at Kniman last Thursday evening. | Much credit for the successful rendition of the program was due to J Trustee Pettit, who haq influenced, Mrs. Davis to lend her piano for! the occasion. The music was fur-1 nished by the Jensen family from I Wheatfield. Mr. Jensen is also the ■ band leader of-that place. They die remarkably well. The church was decorated with flowers and flags all, expressive of interest in the graduating class. Amanda Steinke and Alice Meyers, two teachers ot Walker township, were present for the occasion. Through a clerical error the name of Miss Amanda Steinke was left off the commences ment cards. The most impressive number on the program came when Miss Alice Sayers, the valedictorian of Walker township, gave a short talk in behalf of her class. Miss Sayers, spoke clearly, naturally and straight to 1 the point. She rightfully earned the most enthusiastic applaud of the evening. Those who received certificates of admission into high school were: Wallace Alexander, Dorothv Boes, Bernice Hodge, Gladys Hartley, Daniel Odle, Vincent Stalbaum, Robert Shultz, Inabelle Williams, Nettie Salrin and Alice M. I Savers. The church yard was practically filled with automobiles and rigs. The church was filled to the utmost and an audience of double I the inside sat in machines, crowded ।at doors and winds. The people , from Walker township manifest ex- | ceptional interest in their children 1 and the schools. The Rev. Charles । W. Postill of Rensselaer was on the ' program to give the invocation and i benediction, but was unable to be present on account of sickness. | The Jordan township commencement was held at the Union school 'in Jordan township last Thursday I night. A large crowd occupied all the available space inside the school house and the outside accommodate* a much larger aggregation of men and boys who stood six deep at the doors and windows. Prof. Thomas I F. Moran of Purdue university gave the address for the occasion before a class of seven young men and women. Prof. Moran spoke largely of the wonderful responsibility that i rests at the doors of our young graduates at these reconstruction ■ times. The Jensen family of Wheatfield opened the program with an excellent processional and followeu throughout the program with some fine inspirational music. The Rev. Charles W. Postill of Rensselaer gave the invocation and benediction. The program was well spiced when Francis Brown, the valedictorian of Jordan township, gave a little talk In behalf of the class. The room was nicely decorated with flowers and flags. Mr. and Mrs. Julius Hutt,

trustee and wife, had spent an afternoon at the school building arranging * and decorating for the occasion. The regular monthly teachers’ examination was held at the high school building in Rensselaer last Saturday. The examination was small owing to the fact that most teachers are in attendance at schools. State Supt. L. x N. Hines sent state licenses to Opie Hafey of Remington and Mildred Rush of Rensselaer a few days back. Those who wrote for state licenses las? Saturday were: Mae Clarke and Minnie Waymire, Rensselaer; George Hammerton, Demotte; Lila Delahanty, Wheatfield; Martha Farce, Medaryville; Jane Parkison, Pleasant Ridge; Florence- Brady, Thayer; Florence McKay, Fair Oaks, and Lucy Harris, Mt. Ayr. Jasper county can congratulate herself upon the efficiency of the teaching corps that promises to guide the schools for 1920-21. Teachers are in normal schools more this year than any other year prior. This will result in educational efficiency that will find expression in practically every school in Jasper county. The trustees are exerting themselves far beyond ordinary to give better salaries to these public benefiiciaries.
