M., for the last five years, has posted an offer of $4,000 to any man who will ride a horse which he brought here this week from his ranch in Idaho.

IMPOSSIBLE FOR IRISH PEOPLE TO GIVE UP DEMANDS Sinn Fein Leader Declares No Power Can Compel Re linquishment of Fight ' For Independence , By JOHN STEELS New Tork Tltnc-Chtcar Tribune Cable, Copyright, 1920. Roscommon, May 30. "It is im possible for the Irish people to re linguish the least jolt -in their de man for absolute independence. No man, whether bishop or anyone else, can make a bargain for a free Irish peopled No power either in Rome or anywhere else can com pel Ireland to abate it's demand in any particular." The above answer was given me by Father Michael O'Flanagan, pa triot Irish priest and vice president of the Sinn Fein organization, sit ting in his presbytery in this little western town, answering my ques tions as to the probable outcome of the negotiations now. reported in progress in Rome between the Irish hierarchy and British representa tives for an Irish settlement. "The bishops as a body," he said, have no pblitical power. As indi viduals they hold all sorts of polit ical views and are no doubt mostly conservatives. No Irish bishop is under 50 years of age, most of them are over 60, and many older. "The youth of the land is in the saddle. We can't accept a sfatus do minion. National sentiment in the end is the Controlling factor of all things, and it would be the deepest kind of dishonor for an old nation like Ireland to consent to wear the yoke, even if light, of another na tion. If we did we would be false, not only to the honor of Ireland, but the whole human race. "Today Ireland is not governing in a civilized sense. It js not stop ping but fomenting disorder.- There is h'ttle disorder in Ireland except what is due to' the presence of the unlawful element which has no nor mal sanction the British army of occupation. They have produced a condition which makes it difficult to deal with disorder because they have jailed all those Irishmen who would normally rule and guide the public life of the country. "Our triumph in suppressing dis orders is made especially clear in the west wnere we have the whole pub lic opinion behind us and where peo ple who would sympathize with army occupations are so few and so reconciled to the dominance., of the national viewpoint that they make little protest. "In a few weeks we will have the republican courts functioning, all over Ireland, as you have seen them in the west, wljere we have built up inside, and in spite of the British system, a truly national system of justice and order." Rush Work on State Roads In Northwest Nebraska O'Neill.

Blames Drought in Cuba , For High Price of Sugar Washington, May 30.

MIND OM THe OVER, .WV-r-.V.: U. S. Is Handicapped During Campaigns English Paper Says London, May 30. The only Lon don newspaper thus far to comment to President Wilson's peace veto !s the Pall Mall Gazette, which intro duces the subject with reference to Ambassador Davis' speech yesterday at Portsmouth. The paper says: "Mr. Davis, American embassador, offered us some reassurance as to his country's interest in international af fairs and its concerns for the ideals tmbodied in the league of nations. "His official ties preclude him from mentioning the most solid reason why America's present attitude should not be taken too deeply to heart by those who expected it to set a more inspiring example. "When America is electioneering ttis always handicapped by the n cessity of politicians propitiating tc baser sorts of particularisnt. The prospects of joining the allies neve. were more unpromising than just before President Wilson went to the polls in 1916. Once thi critical day was passed ;he( was a different man; he spoke a different language, and we may see, a similar change 5n the tone of congress and the senate when the domestic issues of thi present autumn have been dis posed of." - Mother Seeks Release of Husband From Missouri Jail Fulton, Mo., May 30.
