What was his motive? Was it revenge? Or the hope of forgiveness? Did he go with Slaughter willingly? Was the subsequent murder only a dodge to escape punishment when he saw that escape was improbable? , It is a strange tale. On the face of it, Howard will probably find it more pleasant in the peniten- tiary than at large. Bob Ford’s betrayal of Jesse James left him with a reputation worse than that of the dead outlaw.

F Cohalan, firmly grasping the meal ticket, was f willing to let the “people of Ireland decide to accept, F for the time being, the terms of settlement,” but he b later toki the “Friends” that the fight for an abso- futely independent Ireland would be continued. By yesterday, however, the danger that the meal ~ticket might depart had nerved the delegates. What «is good enough for Irishmen in Ireland is not going to feed the hungry in the ranks of the American ‘2 “professionals. One delegate phrased the sense of jthe meeting: “There will be peace in Ireland, but there will be ENATOR LODGE must be as nearly happy as Senator Lodge can be. To him it was given to present the Four-Power Pacific Pact as the first real fruit of the world’s peace efforts—to hold it aloft while other covenants cower. We note the senior Senator from Massa- chusetts took advantage of this congenial occasion to make a restful oratorical cruise among the South Sea Islands—to the great apparent solace pf his spirit. It will be pointed out to him, of course, that not only is Article I. of this Four-Power Treaty as ap- plied to the Pacific amazingly like Articles X. and XIII. of the League of Nations, but that Article II. ve Be =o Irish peace in America.” = . The convention decided to raise an additional \ fund of $2,550,000 to save Ireland from itself—and » falso to save the occupation of the professionals BE But itis breaking no confidence to say that the | professional Irishmen are due to discover a decided | *loss of following in their long-range, safety-first ‘i effort to block a fair settlement. Irish sympathizers, we believe, will refuse to back the professionals with i “the biggest yet” fighting fund. Isn't it about. time for the professional element in the Friends of ‘Irish Freedom to secede and form _ Mew organizafici Witlt a new name? y Why not “The Friends of Irish Fightin’?” ‘ We wonder what the opponents of Article X would havefé say if the League of Nations were to substitute the phraseology of the Four Power Treaty. of the Pacific Pact is enough like Article XVI. of the League covenant to be at least its infant brother. In his new pride and serenity, Senator Lodge will doubtless content himself with replying: “There is no provision for the use of force to carry out any of the terms of the agree ment, and no military or naval sanction lurks anywhere in the background.” . In other words, the Four-Power Treaty follows the League covenant only up to the point where the latter begins to imply possible inconvenience or cost. Article Il. of the treaty says: if the said rights are threatened by the isgressive action of any other power, the high contracting parties shall communicate with me another fully and frankly in order to ar- swear allegiance to Christ in politics, my up to President fw.c.

To level-headed friends of the League the Four- Power Treaty will seem a substantial and admirable step as far as it goes—all the better for being sure when some one tries to help us, but if they would only try and help us as they should, they would be O.

Tu the Editor of The Evening World; I think it’s an outrage to have the Women Reserves doing traffic duty. It would be better to take the police off the milk wagons, instead of them protecting strike breakers. Let them look after the taxpayers. That's what we are paying taxes for. No doubt the milk barons are paying for this protection, It's about time an end was put to “Ethics” of Medicine. | To the Editor of The Evening World: i You, in turn, should be thanked for your editorial in to-night’s Eve- | ning World, in drawing attention to} Dr. Copeland's outspoken label of “damn fools” to some members of the medical profession.

I introduced the work of a New York doctor to a well known medical man in New York and he referred me to another to tey it out. 1 offered him the services of the doctor whose system of healing was to be tested, and my answer was “Not interested.” Is it\not true what Dr. Copeland said a few days ago to the effect that the spectator is, usually, to make hin “Jolly,” without necessarily launcu ing him into revelry.
