O’NEILL MASS MEETING
ASKS FREEDOM FOR IRELAND
The recognition of the Irish Re
public by the congress is asked in
resolutions adopted in a stirring and
enthusiastic meeting of citizens of
O’Neill and vicinity held at the K. C.
hall Friday evening. The meeting
called by T. V. Golden, in the interest
of Irish freedom and recognition by
the world as an independent people,
was at first scheduled to be held at
the K. C. club rooms, but because of
the large attendance was transferred
to the large auditorium. Had it been
advertised earlier in the week the at
tendance would have more than filled
the hall and as it was many coming in
from the country arrived too late for
the addresses.
Mr. Golden in opening the meeting
brieflly and eloquently sketched its
' purpose and then introduced the Hon.
M. F. Harrington as chairman. His
introduction was greeted with applause
and there were many enthusiastic out
bursts as he reviewed the history of
the Emerald Isle and and its sturdy
people. Mr. Harrington at the con
clusion of his address introduced the
speaker of the evening, the Hon. John
P. Sutton of Lincoln, treasurer of the
Land League and a patriot who has
devoted a long and active life to the
cause of Irish freedom. Feeling re
ferences were made by all of the
speakers to the late Neil P. Brennan,
long one of the leaders in the move
ment.
The address by Mr. Sutton was one
of eloquent simplicity enabling his
hearers to grasp the merits of the
Irish cause and was listened to with
that close attention one of the highest
compliments paid to a public speaker.
At the conclusion of the address by
Mr. Sutton, Anselm Whelan in a stir
ring oration on the same subject de
' monstrated the older orators and pub
lic speakers of the community must
look out if they are not to lose their
laurels to a younger leader. Follow
ing the speaking Hon. E. H. Whelan
was appointed chairman of the resolu
tions committee and the following
resolutions adopted:
The Resolutions.
We, American citizens of O’Neill,
Nebraska, in mass meeting assembled
this 25th day of July, 1919, to discuss
the claim of the democracy of Ireland
for independence, do consider and re
solve as follows:
Whereas the United States entered
the world war not only tq protect the
lives and liberty of its own citizens
upon the high seas and elsewhere, but
also with the avowed and clearly ex
pressed intention “to make the world
safe for Democracy.”
And whereas our distinguished
president has on numerous occasions
renewed and stimulated the morale of
our brave soldiers and loyal citizens
by pledging the support of America
to the great principle of “the self de
termination of subject peoples and the
rights of all nations both great and
small to liberty,” and '
Whereas, as American citizens
measuring up to par value in peace
and war, we wish to recall the at
tention of our fellow citizens to the
Declaration of Independence which
contains the propositions that “all men
are created equal” and that “govern
ments derive their just powers from
the consent of the governed” and
Whereas we firmly believe that
these great American principles are
applicable to all nations and to every
homogeneous people rightly occupy
ing territory that may be erected into
an independent nation. We believe
that Ireland is and always has been a
distinct nation both racially and geo
graphically, separate from England.
We know that the people of Ireland
at A duly ordered election held under
British law and British officials last
December voted four to one in favor
of an Jrish Republic, and complete in
dependence from England, and elected
members of Parliment who have stood
upon that vote and based thereon their
right to organize and establish an
Irish National Government in Dublin,
and have refused to consider them
selves as members of the British Par
liment sitting in London but of
the Irish Parliment only, and have
therefore elected as their execu
tive Hon. Edmond DeValare and pro
claimed themselves a Republic, in
words substantially identical with the
Declaration of /American Independ
ence, and
Whereas no valid reason has been
given to the world as to why the
Irish people should not have their
freedom.
Therffore
Be it Resolved, that we as citizens
of the greatest and best of all Re
publics do extend to the Republic of
Ireland a welcome to the family of
Independent nations and we urge upon
our Senators and Representatives in
Congress the propriety of using their
influence to the end that the prin
ciples upon which American liberty is
based, may be extended to every cor
ner of the world and especially to Ire
land, a country which has contributed
a quota of more than fifteen millions
of intelligent, virile manhood and pure
and wholesome womanhood to the
citizenship of this great nation.
And we further respectfully request
our eminent President, who has cham
pioned the rights of small nations and
the suppressed and submerged peoples
heretofore ruled by Germany and its
allies, to accord the benefit of his great
influence to the Irish people and to
make no exception in this case, but to
use his good offices with the friendly
British Government so that said Gov
ernment may bring to an end its mili
taristic oppression of Ireland, so
strongly flavoring of Prussianism and
may immediately withdraw its large
army of occupation therefrom and al
' low the Irish Government to operate
i without foreign interference in order
that the Irish people may govern
i themselves as they have legally and
! regularly determined to do by the
■ plebiscite of December, 1918, so that
there may be no reservation among
r American citizens to the propositions
' that, politically “all men are created
- equal” and no exception to the prin
1 ciple that “Governments derive their
! just powers from the consent of the
3 governed.”
3 And we urge upon all citizens who
believe in the principle of self de
e termination to extend the power of
> moral influnce to the Irish people in
this crisis of their existence, for we
are convincve that if the moral in
E fluenee of America be with this suffer
ing people in the culmination of their
E struggle for liberty, no government on
. earth is powerful enough to opposed
it. And
Be it further Resolved that copies
of these resolutions be forwarded to
} the President of the United States, to
our Nebraska Senators, and to out
‘ Representative, Hon. M. P. Kinkaid
r and to the press for publication.

adage that misfortunes never come
singly. Several years ago he acquired
a couple of lots just east of and ad
joining the Grattan library site.
Then, with a view of sometime build

thereon, and since has carefully nursed
and nurtured them. This spring he
sent up a man with a mower
to manicure the lawn and most of the
saplins bowed before the fell reaper.
Last week an itinerant landscape ar
tist tarried in town for a few hours
and Bill sent him up to dig around the
surviving trees, directing him to the
lots just east of the library. After
several hours the stranger came back,

reason, local fishermen say, fish are
not as plentiful in the streams of
Holt county as they used to be.
