A Nation of Cranks

Some p eople are losing their t empers with the Vol1!l1tee.rs. From onc recr~iling speech we pick the following choice ex· pr·essions: "Cranks," "factionists," "mis· dlief-makers," •. contemptible," " un· known," ,v1th all the variations that such a v ocabulary can e xp ress when it gets working in hannooy ',:ith tl;Ie more reput. able part of the King's. English. It is all applied to people who won' t r ecr uit, who do nJt believe in joining the Scottish Bor-. derers at the front, hut who do believe that Ireland has quite enough for her sons t o do· witQou,t sending them to' get shot abroad , Of course the same terms :He 'now appJied to the BOers, who a month ago were held up to Ireland for emulation as a forgiving and a worthy ,people, But as the Doers seem to l;,e not at all too, facile in changing t heir politico.l beliefs, they are now only cranky' like

Inexcusable Haste

' If we had it more copiolls vocabulary '" of the terms th at rival politicians apply to each other we would use them on too . ardent love rs of "The Irish Volunteer." It is all very weI! to be interested in the paper, but it is simp ly in decent haste t o open the letters b efore they reach us, and, besides, the E.eople who open ' them, we 'are sure, do not get a quite s-ltisf'lctory pe=n sal of the forthcoming number. In the course of two weeks. we have had as many ,d ozen ' letters torn open, and if things go on like this we can only offer a sub -editor to th e people r.esponsib1e so as to decipher the matter for th em with the least incon venience and d elay.

,sATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1914 .

Eight millions of Englishmen! If the good sense of t..'t6 nation h ad n ot ridi"'uled the recruiting idea out of existence, someone might e ventually h ave made 0. speech or ' wyitten O!fl artide showing why Irela nd should supply any nlore soldiers to be ki.l Ied abroad . The wit ch' s pot of ah use of the factioni sts' and shrieking sen· timent alism about the Empire might have simmered d own to something so COIlUDonplace as arguzoont o-r logic al as fact. But the n a.tion would have ·none of the uew'· fangled patriotism, and si nce then th~ froihy eff-ervescence h as got more frothily offensive. If E ngJ.aod had been prepare ing for war d urin g all the time t~t h er forces were puliin g d own I::ish c abins het' need of polen might n ot be so dire to-d ay. pf instead of p-lacing her powe~ at _the disp osal of th~ forces o f h 3.te an:J reaction sh e .h~>d given Ireland a tenth of the justi ce that Irel.:l.nd h .,<:! to wrc3t from her The Parliamei1t of I G89 ' ." boldly an in the Lan'd \-Yar, h er army and n avy nounced olF national independence, in would have been better for the r est from words \vhich Molyneux shouted on to Swift h arry.ing I reland . And if he.r rule bad not· and Swift to Lucas alld Lucas to Flood a nd s~nt h1Jndreds of thousands of Irishmen Flood and Grattan redoubling the ay, to America she would ' have got ller pro. Dungann on ChuFch rang, and Ireland was portioIl' out of twelve million instead · of again a Nation. Yet 90mething it said foor, and could ha-ve . counted on m ore· escaped the hearing 01' surpassed the .vigour sympathy in, America well as in Ireof th?

and d ecline to give them ~p. Judging by the list af SUbscriptions to the U nion Jack I Volunteers they should have more than 'I enough to purchase arms for all their men of the same excellent pattern as MrJ{e dmond' s Italian rifles, Then, why not restore to 1.1S our own property, a s we have no prO'spect of cver .. obtaining allY rifles from th e British \Vat Office?
