in the higher philosophy of sovereignty ns is
llpeiiing for adjudication en this side of the
ucenn.
Chief .Justice Hurr, of the New Yerk Su

institutions from turning uvei a fund of 1
.S'-'.eOO.OOII te the De Vnlern fai tien J, i 1
claimed by the Frcp State, which is initiat
ing the proceedings, that as Irish freedom
1ms been wen, the new sovereign Government
is entitled te the money paid out in Americn
for certificates, which De Vnlera premised
le exchange for bends when tlie Ideal of
liberty had been nttnlned.
The Free. State maintains that the money
Js a litrrty fund, Hint the desired object has
been gained nnd that hence the sum should
be placed in the Treasury of tlie new Gov
ernment, which will Issue the bends.
It is extraordinary indeed thnt the very dis
pute which the treaty advocates and Kainen
de Vnlern had been discussing with weapons
of war should nt the snme time he shaping up
for contention before the bar of legal justice.
If the Free State is, despite Its tic with
Great Britain, a sovereign nation it Is en
titled te the moneys of liberty-loving cham
pions in this country. If the new status of
Ireland is but semi-independent, the funds
will remain 011 deposit In New Yerk.
In addition te Ireland, there are several
ether States of the Kmplre which will be
interested in the decision. If the Free
State has wen its liberty, se have Canada,
Australia, New Zealand nnd Seuth Africa.

THE LOST LEADER
"JYTlCilAi:!, COU.INS joins the tanks of
It J. Irish mailirs. The lists are over ever over
iiewded, for It is a cruel fact of history
that the truest patriots are among the
easiest victims nf organized cowardice and
deliberately planned treachery.
Cellins had vision, nobility of spirit, un
sullied courage. He dared greatly In his
unselfish effort te emancipate his country
men and te render them worthy of national
nsplwitiens which he himself beheld with
such clnilty.
Destiny took Gnlliih. Kvldently the mar mar
peots, vvhe liaie proiekcd civil war ill Ire
land, regarded this blew as Insufficient. Tlie
structure of Irish liberty has new been
foully wrecked by an outrage of man's
making. The consequences of this sickening
perfidy nie net predictable. Without Its
two great leaders, the future of the Free
Stute is dark nnd threatening.
The leadership of Cellins was of a type
which Irclund sorely needed at many critical
moments In its checkered annuls. There
may he some hope In the vitality of his In
spiration and tu the wave of patriotic and
righteous anger which the best elements in
the civilization of the island will be unable
te exclude from their weunfled hearts.
The fame ami honor of a fine-spirited
champion is at least secure. "Treason bus

him fuither.
WHERE UNIONS LANGUISH
WITH the count rv involved in two of the
most lestli stilkes in ears, there is
particularly timely significance in the an
nouncement bj the I'liiteil States Steel Cor
poration that it will establish a voluntary
increase of 1!0 per cent in wages for all its
tmpleies working by the da, effective Sep
tember 1. The raise will affect 130,000
men, ter.i.lusle of the empleyes of inde
pendent steel tempanles, which will almost
certainly fellow suit.
Klbert II. Gary, president of the Steel
Corporation, has long steed -tanchly en the
platfeim that wages should rise and fall
with the rise and fall of the profits of the
employing organization. Claims of unionism
outside of this salient thcerv have left him
uniiieieil: his relations with these who
worked fei hnu bale bi en based upon this 1
principle.
Since the la-t strike In the steel trades
lie ami his men hai e seemed te get along I
lery well together en this understanding I
and, while the men's wages have fluctuated. I
they have been raised as often us they have
been cut. nnd the empleyes new seem satis-
tied that, w lien profits justify it, they will
I be ralsd still further without the necessity
of a demand trem an ntganlzed union.
Mere ami mere students of our industrial
problems nre pointing out that the only real
solution te our recurrent ttoueles is a thor ther
I'Ugli understanding between employers and
empleyes. The men must realize that it is
uneconomic and short-sighted te make de
mands when the business is net flourishing;
the employ vi 1 must realize that, when
profits begin te come in. their workmen nre
us much entitled te 11 shine In this pros pres
perity as are their Illinois and stockholders
If eiety weikman In a plant felt absolutely
mnlldent that he would alwuys get his part
of the pretits he would be mere Iil.ely te
acquiesce quietly in sharing some of the
losses. That at least seems te be the theory
that is winking out well with the Steel Cor
poration. Significantly enough, this raise comes at
just the tune when 11 s.irvey made of in
dustricri m twenty-eight States by a com
mittee of I'nitarlan laymen is reported with
its conclusions. Siv hundred and fifty plants

AS ONE WOMAN SEES IT
What Country People Think of Sum
mer Boarders and Seme Justifica
tion for the View They Take
By SAItAH D. LOWK1E
fTlIIK summer boarder crop Is new at its
- largest for the year. It is net se geed
n crop ns lest year's, they tell me, who
count en it for the winter's bread nnd butter
nnd jam. Net se geed In the expensive re
sorts that is, because many of the expensive
people have gene te Kurepe. lint the ten
roenw and gift shops nrc swarming, for It Is
new or never with them, nnd the beats te
hire and free vamping grounds nnd excursion
busses have nil the matrons that they can
accommodate.
The stnlle of welcome and "geed morn
ing" of the nntlve farmer has perepptlbly
lessened In fervor ns he greets us city folks
from his passing hay wagon. He is tired of
living en skimmed mill: : he misses his eggs
nnd covets Ms own chickens nnd wishes his
old woman would get through with our
everlasting Hashing. He counts en our
money till nfter I.nber I.iy, but he Is worn
out with our ceiihtnnt presence nnd our ulr
of owning his countryside, net te speak of
his ripening npples. There will come n time
in the dead of winter when he will wish us
and summer hack, but from new en be and
all the "j car-round" dwellers In the coun
try have 4get nbeut what thev calculated
out of our holiday for this season nnd are
"fed up" with our nels-a nnd bustle.
GKNF.H.W.1A' speaking, we city visitors
get mere out of the country than we
give back.
That Is. we pay money for the rest and
refreshment we get en our holidays, hut
apart from some fnded and frayed-out sum
mer clothes and dilapidated lints we de net
lenie much behind of ourselves thnt our
hosts can use tn ndvnntnge.
I hear my tlty pals grumbling nt the ex
tortion of the country people, from the prlcf
tif balsam bugs te a meter. Hut that Is all
most of us offer the duellers In the country
n chance te get our money !
If they hnic n specially beautiful piece of
ground we buy it. If they have any choice
old furniture we buy It. jf they hnve fresh
vegetables and cream nnd broilers, we offer
11 larger price for them than they can afford
le refuse. If we nre the kind of summer folk
who nre particular about what people we
knew, we discourage hotels In our neigh
borhood by buying up whnt might he turned
Inte n hotel nnd closing it up. If we nre
(he sort thnt like hotels, we build nnd fill
big barracks that when closed, out of season,
give 11 dead, forlorn air te all the neighbor
hood. We pay such big wages te the village
boys iiiul young men for chnilng for us that
the farmeis cannot compete with our prices,
and have te let the fm-ms peter out Inte pas
tures and haylields. We aie bored by the
village preacher and Impert "supplies" for
the two big summer months, thereby dealing
a double blew at the village church. Fer we
discourage the minister nnd glie the vlllnge
congregation a feeling that what is geed
enough for them Is net geed enough for us.
A ND if our mnnlieis nrc these of a posses-

"was taken in November of Hill), when 11
resolution wns introduced by me nt n meet
ing of Pest lMJ, of the Ameilcan Legien,
te the effect thnt such 11 memorial should
be erected. One pnrngiaph of the resolu

fiem Philadelphia, who gave up his life In
the Inte war. should be Imbedded In the
structure in such 11 manner that neither
time nor tlie elements should ever eflnce

TVe First Slops

that Is. in December. lOP.i. and was adopted
bv 11 unanimous vole. 11s was the original
one In the pest meeting. I was made chair

"The matter came up befme the State

terier arrangements, the various purposes
for which the memorial building shnli be
used, nnd for that matter, every fenture of
it which could be thought of nnd en which
the concerted opinion if ee many distin
guished persons nnd se representative a body
would be of vnltie.
Plans for the Building
"The consensus of opinion of these who
first had the Idea of a memorial hall in
charge, was that the building should be an
extiemely dignified and beautiful memnrinl
and at the same time combine ns many
utilitarian features us It was pessible te
have, la full keeping with the character of
the structure and the main purpose for
which It Is te be erected.
"It will occupy one full city block, being
located at Kighteenth. Nineteenth, "Weed
streets nnd the Parkway. There will be
several small convention halls, which may,
of course, be also used for ether purposes,
one lurge convention hall, smaller meeting
1001ns for nil the various military organi
zations of the city and, if possible, there
will be incorporated into the building a
hall which inny be used as n municipal
theatre.
"Anether prominent fenture of the build
ing will be the organ, which will be pie
sented by Mr. Cyrus 11. K. Curtis and which
will he the largest nnd finest pipe ergnn In
the world. Jluek of it oil lay the Idea in
which the Legien, the County Commission
ers, City Council and every citizen who ex
pressed his views were unanimous, that the
City of Philadelphia should have ns a me
morial for its dead, who gave up their lives
nt the call of their country in any war, a
memorial which should be the ecpinl, if net
the superior, of any similar building in the
I'nited States or ln the world.
A, Ijirge Undertaking
"Tills is a large undertaking, for when
the Pathway Is completed, there will prob
ably he no thoreughfnre n the world of
similar size which will hnve se many won
derful buildings en it and In se limited nn
nren. It is the idl'ii of all who 010 asso
ciated with the memorial hall te make it
one uf the very finest even in this collection
of great buildings.
"The unanimity nf public opinion in favor
of the hall bus been very plenslng te these
of us wlie have been associated with the
project fiem the beginning. Our original
plan was that the memorial which should
he erected should take the form of a build
ing which should serve net enlv the pur
poses of a memorial, but which might be
found of use te the largest possible number
of the eitiens of Philadelphia as well.
"It seemed te us I hut the day of mere
monuments, beautiful as many of them nre,
has passed, and that n building might be
erected which should hnve all the com cem com
memeintive value of a monument nnd nt
the same time he mnele nf nn immense iimeiint
of usefulness te the community. In this
way, the hall might serve a useful purpose
rind nt the same time keep constantly be
fore the, memory of the public the sacrifice
which had been made by se many of the
sons of the city, thus acting net only as
11 memorial of past deeds of heroism, hut
ns an ever present inspiration tu the piesem
and le lenilng generuluus.
"It is titling thin n monument should he
erected: and It would have mine in the
course of time, in any event, but It seemed
te many of us that the pieseut was the best
time in which te start the movement, and
that the Parkway was the obvious place for
the ineineiial. in this view we nn ghu
te line that 110 are heartily sustained bi bi
leo public of the 1 id."
