Jordan, and the suggestion that his visit means that Olenside's post office is to become only a substation of the Jenkintown office. Opposition to the idea of combining the administration of the two offices de veloped at once. Henry Rcnninger, of Glcnside, stated to the inspector that the public opinion of (tlenside is de cidedly opposed to any such measure, no matter how it may have originated or where it developed. According to Edward P. Frikes. of Glenside, it is regarded as likely that the Idea originated in Jenkintown. He I says : ' "The person or persons bringing this I rhniWe to the attention of the Pest- office Department at Washington is not known, but it is probably some oae m Jenkintown. ' ' "This movement on the part of the Postoffice Department will ;net with vigorous opposition from the residents of Glenside The different societies, head ed b.v the Business Men's Association and the Glcnside Community Club, are prepared to take this matter up if the department does not alter its purpose. "Under the consolidation, Glenside would lose its individuality and be sub ject to Jenkintown in matters that art purely domestic. It is understood that the Jenkintown postmaster would have full control of the policy of the Glenside substation. G. 0.

Dr. McCartan Is a member of the executive committee in charge of the Friends of Irish Freedom campaign for $lf0,000 here in aid of the Irish republic and to further Irish propa ganda. Secretary Lansing, according to an nouncement from Paris, recently de clared he would make no further officlol efforts to obtain safe passage for Sinn Fein leaders In Ireland so that they might personally plead before the Peace Conference for official recognition of the Irish republic. In making the announcement (secre tary Lansing is alleged to have based his action on speeches mada in Ireland bv the. envoys sent from this country by the Friends of Irl-h Fi'eedom to urgey recognition of the Irish republic. I he envoys are Michael .1. Ryan, of this city, former Governor Dunne and Frank P. Walsh, former head of the federal war labor board. Hits at Censors, Doctor McCartan. in "explaining" Secretary Lansing's action, hints at unusual. Activity of British censors, who, he says, have several times changed cablegrams he Bent to Sinn Fein leaders and others sent by the leaders in Ireland to him. He believes that when a "true copy" of Secretory Tjinsine's letter to Mr. Walsh shall be come available "it will bear a different Interpretation to that implied In the cabled versions tnac nave appeared in the public press.' The aim or nr.usn maiesmen at present." nid Doctor McCartan today, "Is to force the Irish people to tacitly repudiate the republic of Ireland. Eng land's agents change cablegrams relat ing to Ireland bo as to moke them suit Kngland'a imperialist purposes. On March 12 I sent a cablegram to Presi dent de Valera in which I referred to the 'living' lepublic of Ireland. The Uritish censor cut out the word 'living.' On April 24 George Gavan Duffy, one of the Irish delegates at Paris, sent a pihlevram to me. and at the same time gave a copy to the Paris correspondent of the insn independent, pupusneu in Dublin, In this cablegram Mr. Duffy said 'all delegates claim international recognition efctnDiisnea iicpuuuc. inc British censor cut out the words 'all' and 'established.' "The Irish Independent of May 10 nubllshes unother cablegram which Mr. Duffy sent me rrom rans, anu so rar j have not received it. Presumably, the British censor entirely suppressed it. "It will be remembered that as Messrs Walsh, Duunc and Ryan were about to go to Ireland it was intimated in the cablegrams to the press that they had requested an interview with Lloytl George, the prime minister of Great Britain. Concurrently, alleged inter views with Gavan Duffy and other prominent Irishmen were published, im plying that they were willing to nego tiate with Great Britain on the basis of home rule.

Wilson's Telegram Delayed It may seem incredible to most Americns that any British official would tamper with a statement given out by America's secretary of state, but it is well to recall the fact that onlv a short time ago an urgent cable gram from President Wilson himself was hfcld up for two days in London. There is good reasop, therefore, for doubting the accuracy of the cabled accounts of Secretary Lansing's state ment. The ommfssion or alteration of a single word or phrase would ma terially alter the whole meaning. "The alleged reason for Mr. Ian aing's refusal to interfere further to ward securing safe conduct for the Irish plenipotentiaries, is because th-! Irish -American commissioners made speeches distasteful to British officials. It Is impossible to conceive a secretary of state of a great nation, such as the United States, adopting a 'May-It-please-your-Honor policy toward the representative or representatives of any nation In the, world. "The republic of Ireland has been established according to the principles laid down in President Wilson's war declarations. It was for these prin ciples that th young men ofth United States were aaked to give up their lives, apd the President in his Memorial Day message says: 'We must never forget the duty that their sacrifice has laid Upon us of fulfilling their horlea and their turpose to the utmost.' "In face of these sentiments it is impossible to Believe that Mr. Lansing was guilty of trifling with a grave Issue by pretending that th considered deci sion Of the Irish people could be set aside on account of a speech or speeches made hy any ot Ireland's rrienqs. "If the cabled version of his letter to Jlr. Wftlsh be accurate, Mr. Lansing woqld seem to pe acting inconsistently w(th th declared foreign policy of the United States and at Variance with, the wishes of the American peopie as emphatically expressed by the Vote in th House of ReprVsentatlvfB on Con gressman Gallagher's resolution. The hill Introduced by Congressman Mason on May 23 to pro-id funds for the- maintenance ot a diplomatic corps from the United States to the rrpybHc 'of Ireland is wqieative ot the continued belief ot Americans that President Wil 6 Intends to honor his declarations." sbssssssssWWWwHbW aSSSSSSSF'e'W- 'V.s ' t-: laMWassssssssst?'

The Republicans have elected an obdurate progressive with Western ideas as, chairman of the Senate Inter state commerce committee. Mr. Cummins is willing to stop hat ing big business, but big business will have to behave, obey orders and concern itself about the common weal. The bright young men it ho tnrd to muckrake big business have scattered to new diversions. Some of them went abroad to tell how the war should be fought and now they are telling ho peace should be made.
