Bewildering Ireland ;y "The assissination of Michael Collins, head of

the provisional government of the Irish Free

State, following in ten days upon the death of Arthur Griff is. president of the dail eireann, ap

parently leaves the Irish government leaderless,"

says the Indianapolis News,- "These two men figured so conspicuously as the moving spirits of

the new state that the world knows little of the "others to whom the majority of the Irish people

may turn ,for conduct of affairs in this trying time. Yet that the tactics of assassination and

guerilla warfare will succeed in destroying this

hopeful enterprise is hardly to be believed. If thVvote of the Irish people is to be taken as an

indication of their sentiments regarding the new government, they are overwhelmingly in its fa

vor, and to suppose that they will permit themselves to be terrorized by the fright methods of the irreconcilable minority is to presume that they are lacking in spirit as compared with the people of other lands. The world in general has only recently passed through a demonstration of how fright methods work. They may succeed temporarily, but instead of checking resistance

they raise up overwhelming opposition, as in tha

case of Germany. ' "It is hardly conceivable that the assassination of Collins has weakened sentiment in favor Df the cause for which he stood. Rather it i3 to be hoped that it has arousew new determination and opened the way for new leadership facilitated by a strengthened sentiment for unity. To reason and to hope so is to apply to Ireland the same general line of thought and feeling applied to the affairs of other countries, but conditions there often become so bewildering as to create doubt whether considerations that would weigh elsewhere are applicable there.. What they hope to gain by their wantonly destructive course in the land they profess to love, and probably sincerely believe that they do love, is hard to understand. A' country rich in possibilities, one

of the garden . spots of the world, at . the door of

an Europe in sore need of the resources that

could easily be developed under peaceful government, is being subjected to a similar process of

ruthless devastation that characterized the Ger-j man invasion of Belgium and France, and this by Irishmen who are fighting other Irishmen. The most charitable view to be taken of their conduct is that they are fighting for an impossible perfection, and lack that spirit, of compromise that comes with experience in the working

of democratic government the spirit that takes political defeat peacefully. In all democratic government there are sorry defects of adjustment which need to be taken philosophically.

The working often looks bad, but it is. much better than the system of intolerance, assassination and guerrilla war that attends unwillingness to give up any point of apparently logical right."

Q. Why is there trouble in enforcing the derisions' of the Railroad Labor Board? R. C. R. A. The Transportation Act of 1920, as the act is officially designated, gives the Railroad Labor Board no Fower whatever to enforce its decisions. Section 313 reads: "The labor board, in casj it has reason to believe that any decision of the labor board or of an adjustment board. Is violated by any carrier or employee, or subordinate official, or organization thereof, may upon its own motion, after due notice and hearing to all persons directly interested in .such violation, determine whether in its opinion such violation has occurred, and make public its decision in such manner as it may determine." Neither party to a case before the board is required to accept and abide by the board's decision. Consequently it Is clear that It was never contemplated by those who framed the law that the board should enforce its decisions. There is perhaps a moral or implied obligation on. the part of those who appeal to the board to accept its rulings, whatever they may be. but those who disregard this obligation suffer no penalty otherwise than a possible

adverse public sentiment. Q. When a man is engaged to a girl, does each call the other "fiance"? A. There are two forms of the word. Fiance is the masculine and fiancee the feminine form. They are both pronounced fee-ahn-say. Q. How much canning and preserv. 5ng is done now by housewives? E. C. M. A. There is no survey in general, but farm housewives last year either sold or kept for home consumption 1,335,000 containers of jelly, 9,500,000 cans of fruit and vegetables, and 715,-

000 pounds of poultry ana meat canned according to methods demonstrated by the extension agents of the department of agriculture and the state agricultural colleges.. Q. Are the rings of Saturn solid or fluid? J. B. S. A. The conclusion has been reached that the ring is triple, consisting of concentric parts and that it is composed of a very large number of small satellites. If the ring were solid, soma temporary disturbance would suffice to disrupt it, nor is it more reasonable to presume that it is liquid.

TODAY'S TALK Cy George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can," "Take It," "Up" AIM TO BE SUPERIOR TO YOURSELF . It is not a very worthy task to aim to become superior to someone else. That other one may not be any too superior. Better to keep setting a mark that is much higher than any YOU have ever attained before. And then as you work up near to it, set another one still h'gher. I looked , out of my office windo today and watched bricklayers placing their bricks, row upon row. The head man placed a string from one end of the building to the other, and then the workers completed the row. Xhen the head man raised the line and the building grew in height. I am of the opinion that such workers are inspired as they see their work mounting up into space in the shape of a great building. What we should do is to keep aiming to be superior to ourselves. Then we are sure to grow and to know that we have grown. Do not be satisfied to do any work just well enough to pass the eye of him who is your teacher or employer. Keep building better all the t"me. Keep breaking your own records. The champion is he who works his way through excelling those who are weaker or less determined. If you have a good day today, make tomorrow a better one. The morbid mind is the one which keeps wrapping itself up instead of unwrapping Itself and sending out into the world works worthy of its caliber. Unhappness is the child of selfishness. The better you mould yourself, the better companions you are sure to be to others. Disappointments wither away if you pay no attention to them. Aim to be superior to yourself! Stay away from mediocre levels of thought and action. Each foot you climb higher gives you strength and confidence for the next step up. Brighten up. The world not only wants you but needs you!

JAMES F. PERSHING, JR.

The recent resignation of James Pershing, Jr., nephew of Gen. Pershing, as assistant prohibition director

of rsew lork attracted nation-wide attention. Like his illustrious uncle Pershing Jr. is not given to loquaciousness. He simply announced that "the job was di3tastefull" to him. Pershing Jr. was asked to accept the post last February. H succeeded Herbert G. Catron, former treasurer of the National Re

publican club who later was indicted for alleged liquor frauds. The AntiSaloon league recommended Pershing when appealed to by Director Ralph A. Day. William H. Anderson, New

York state superintendent of the

league, in recommending Pershing said he was well qualified to handle the details of the work with a clear vision.

Dy FREDERICK J. HASKIX I WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 24. Life is being made harder and more complex for the poor politician, at any rate as far as speech making is concerned. The trusty oration that rock-

! ed nine counties in 1S95 and any numj ber of years following is almost use- ' less baggage to the veteran candidate now. In fact, the country has reached a stage where a politician must write i comparatively new speeches every i time he takes the stump to re-elect

himself or somebody else. This is no doubt an annoying development to some old-timers. For years, our political campaigns were staged with one stock oration. To be

sure the oration wore disguises. It j had various titles and subjects. But if I you took it apart. and gazed into its j mechanism it was the same time-tried

speech, made up of the same string of (metaphors and references that could j not fail to draw tears and applause

irom any iuu percent patriotic audience. Thus, early in the opening paragraphs occurred the reference to the eagle screaming defiance at the das tardly enemies' of national integrity and a little later came the dramatic

announcement "that the American flag waves proudly over this sunny land; let us not darken its shores by the shadow of infamy." And so the speech went on with its rolling sentences, sure-fire sentiment, and old, old ancedotes. There are politicians who say that the country has- changed less than

some think, and that the old style ora

tion is still a great vote getter, especially in rural districts. - Others, however, hold that the stump speaker who hasn't sensed a change in the times and the public is in for a shock. There are several reasons why spread eagle oratory has become almost defunct. One is that the public takes more interest in platforms. Once, the American vote,r voted for a party and all the stump speaker had to do was to arouse partisan feeling. Waving the bloody shirt was his job. Facts Never Troubled Old-Timers. In those times the politician who would allow himself to be pinned down to facts on a. troublesome issue would have been regarded as a total failure.

BEST SELLERS

'"I" follow up my endless quest, I seek them high and low the books that used to sell the best some twenty years ago. Our glad applause we used to give 10 every transient tome: "Here is a book that's bound to live until the cows come home. Oh, when since Sappho cashed her string, were odes so ably sung? These pomes

will surely live,- by jing, till every dog is hung." And thus, with fervor in our soul, our noble fits we'd throw; where are the deathless rigmaroles of twenty years ag3?" 1 mention books that once were sold by train loads through the land, anu only gaffers growing old recall and understand. Now, Maurice Thompson's masterpiece deserves a lasting fame.

but when I ask my nifty niece if she has read the same, "I've never heard of such a book," she says, and tilts her nose; "If I read all such stuff gadzook, I'd mis s'the movie shows." I ask the book store clerks today for tales of other years; they never heard of them, they say, and shed unbidden tears. They try to sell me current rot, but such a scheme won't go; where are the books that hit the spot some twenty years ago?"

Memories or Old Days In This Paper Ten Years Ago Today

Some discussion was prevalent with regard to increase in tax rates, several county officials expressing the belief that the total tax rate would be increased to more than $3.00. The total rate for Richmond was $2.12, and

I for the township $2.08. The tax rate

increase, it was said, was due to certain costly improvements to be made in the city and township. Stolen loot was found in a pawnshop in the city. Action taken against the proprietor led to the extinction ot this sort of shop in Richmond, at least nominallv.

The expert was the man who, when asked pointedly what he thought of a question, would smile genially and wink at hi3 audience to show that they had a joke together. "Now really," he would drawl goodnaturedly, "the members of our great and glorious party are so well aware of our attitude toward this question (dramatic pause), and the adherents of that' other - misguided and unenlightened party would scarcely be able to grasp the finer points of the issue (pause), that I am reminded of a story in this connection which reflects in true light the attitude of our party at all critical stages when the honor of the nation rests in its hands." Then followed the story of the Irishman and the other cow. But new the rivalry between politic

! al parties no longer seems a sufficient

ly great issue to hold party members true to their clan. More and more in each campaign the voters demand proof of a constructive platform and insist on knowing the exact position of the party on public affairs. This tendency has affected oratory sadly. It is next to impossible to drag in high-flown allusions to the flag, a mighty cause, and our sacred trust when one is speaking to farmers on the price of corn and hogs. Nor do these allusions seem to fit in' with other timely topics such as the ship su..;idy, the tariff, or labor problems. Prohibition might seem a suitable field for emotional appeals, but evn when such a theme is being expound

ed audiences grow restive under ai floor of sentiment. Facts and figures are expected now in political speeches, j Even speakers who have always been! masters of the art of evading definite statements are finding that language in all of its sonorous beauty fails to awe the modern audience. A stump speaker used to be as much of an entertainment feature as the circus. People would sit entranced as

long as a speaker would wave his arms and go through his list of tricks. But ever since the movies- began to provide more regular entertainment, audiences have been less ready to be spellbound. Women Demand Facts From Speakers. The entrance of women Into politics may be cited as one of the most

recent contributing causes to the change in oratory. At the headquarters of the League of Women Voters they tell you that the questionnaires

which have been sent out to candidates have affected political speechmaking, indirectly at least. These

were sprinkled, plentifully through.' the speeches made at these meetings. But the alert politician Boon found that tho women were not used to the glittering generalities and that they Waited politely but eagerly for the point of the speech. The speaker who seemed anxious to explain his viewpoint in plain English was tha candidate who scored. Altogether, the orator of the old school, who banked on his dignity and his sonorous voice to impress his public, is nearly extinct. Conditions are not favorable for his development anymore. Even the recent war did not produce any startling examples of national orators to join Webster and Henry as silver-tongued persuaders. With all the stirring and emotional themes that the war provided, the typical oration that swayed the country was the brief four-minute talk, generally crammed with facts. Congressmen and other men in the public eye ' still like to make long speeches. s Some even go quietly to schools of expression to learn how to hold an audience. But the embryo orator is no longer taught to stick one hand in his vest, put his right foot forward six inches and let his voice run the entire scale every few min

utes. The modern speech is less flamboyant. The speaker gets closer to his audience and talks to them instead of declaiming over their heands. The silver-tongued orator -has been a great tradition in this country. The eloquence of our great speakers is re-r--yi .-iKl f vi nntr k F tha thrill? in

He finally decided, after years of ceaseless study, that no one can be free from rheumatism until the accumulated impurities, commonly called uric acid deposits, were dissolved in the joints and muscles and expelled from the body. With this idea In mind he consulted physicians, made experiments and finally compounded a prescription that quickly and completely banished every sign and symptom of rheumatism from his system. He freely gave his discovery, which he called Allenrhu, to others who took It. with what might be called marvelous success. After years of urging: he decided to let sufferers everywhere know about his discovery through the newspapers.
