stOckade at the right of the ridge on
which ran the Messurguttery and Yazoo
wagon roads. While on picket duty one
night Johnny and Yank struck up
conversation. Both were Irishmen,
and both from the same locality in Mis-
souri,. After bantering each other a
while they found they were old ac-
quaintances. When through asking
after friends. which they knew well in
the different commands, the Johnny
Irishman said to the Union Irishman:
Say, Tom. can't We come oop this
way and gimme a pOipe er terbaccy?'

Irish Confederate was sitting on the
earthworks, and our Irishman yelled ::

SeIf-Govcrument.

A few years ago number of philan-
thropists and reformers in New York
City were asked to contribute to the
Sunday World their answers to the
question, What is the best thing that
the rich can do to help the pOOr:' Hen
ry Georges answer was the shortest,
and it went straight to the point. Get
off their backs" he said.
We are reminded of Mr.. Georges re-
ply whenever we read any of the SOL
emn comment in administration or
gans. like the Outlook. about the efforts
of the Taft Commission to establish
elf-government" in the Philippines.
1t occurs to us that the best way to
establish self-government' for the
Filipinos would be to get off theic
backs and to quit killing the bravest
and most patriotic lovers of self-gov-
ernment.
Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "All gov
ernments are ridiculous except those
which men make for themselves" The
"self-government," which one nation
establishes for another is most ridicu-
lous of all.-Ithaca Democrat.
