Recognition of the independence of a seceding part of a foreign nation is always an affair for cautious diplomatic procedure. There must first be established in the insurgent area a government with some claim to sovereign powers. No such government has been created by the Sinn Fein agitators. During the American Civil war there were Eng- lishmen who wanted Great Britain to recognize the independence of the South.

EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced in this column may or may not express the opinions of The Tribune. Eety as Bre ave a sented here in ‘order hat our readers may ernment’s policy was “to:leave this struggle to settle itself.” No better advice could be given to congress at the present time about Ireland., Sir Auckland Geddes might not pack his carpetbag and trunks if congress should recognize the independence of Ireland. But this would be only because congres- sional resolutions in presidential years are taken no more seriously abroad than at home. It is time, by the way, this notorious condition ended. Ward politics should cease to inspire the view- point of congress in foreign relations. The Townley-Lemke forces have deliberately thrown down the gauntlet to the members of the American Legion in the nomination of D. C. Poin- dexter as their candidate for state auditor. Poin- dexter is a radical member of the World War Veterans, an erganization bitterly antagonistic to the American Legion and embracing in its mem- bership the socialistic element among the service men.

PEOPLE'S FORUM | % ° TEACHERS LUNCH CLUB To the Editor of The Tribune: By request. .I make the: following statement concerning the article in The Tribune of May 23, dealing with the Teachers’ Lunch club. Being a member of this club, I am in a posi- tion to know and state facts to the fair-minded people of Bismarck. The article says. “those teachers given free use of the domestic science kitchen including the equipment and gas service and may organive lunch clubs. During the ‘past vear about fifteen ave availed tem- selves of this privilege.” WHY have, these fifteen “availed themselves of the privilege?” SHEER NECESSITY—first _ be- cause of an inadequate number of pri- vate boarding places; second, because ! the noon hour is not long enough to permit them to go down to a restau- j rant or hotel. order a meal, have it served and get back to school by ten minutes after one; furthermore, teachers cannot afford to pay 75c to $1.00 for their meals. So these teach- ers are forced to accept these “priv- ileges.” a They not only work for their board, is the lunch club to be regarded pure- ly in the light of a “privilege?” We leave the decision to the sense of jus- tice and fair play of the people of Bismarck. Signed— A MEMBER OF THE LUNCH CLUB. Don't fail-to see the great Nazimova at the Orpheum in “The Heart of a Child” tonight and tomorrow % AT THE MOVIES RPHEUM Nazimova has done great pictures, but in none of her previous triumphs has she had the opportunity as in this one to display her, every touch of genius. Utterly different from any- thing the unrivalled star has before enacted, “The Heart of a Child,” is easily her masterpiece of the screen. And in point of artistic production and in the excellence of cast it is no less meritorious. Every time you see Na- zimova it seems like the, first she is always different, save in the outstand- ing excellence of her art.. “The Heart of a Child” comes to the Orpheum tonight and! tomorrow. oe * Memorial Poem — oy (Written by a G.

God rules the world, and rules our hearts as well! Truth, friendship, loyalty to those who fell In battling for the right, revive and swell As do the lilac-buds or immortele. ‘Tis fitting then, that year by year we meet, Wt who have shared the burden and the heat Of dreadful days, which laid our com- rades low, . To chant their deeds of valor, and be- stow Just meed of praise, while on their graves we lay These fragrant emblems of man’s fleeting day For those who answered to, ther country’s call In her sad hour of peril, one and all May justly glory in the part they bore why each new-born winter's grave? They earned the. plaudits of their fel- low men, And now with peace restored, we meet again ~ Te do them honor, and our voices raise To him who rules the world in right- eousness Our ever present helper in distress. He raised up Lincoln, and in love de- creed a That by his hand, chained millions should be freed. Our ranks are thinning.
