OUTSIDE POINT OF VIEW
Sentimental Irish and Ireland.

There need be no further doubt that
Irishman. His delightful stories nigh,
have ben written by one. of another
nationality, but his article in The
Worlds Work, entitled Climbing Up
ward in Ireland" is SO thoroughly
Irish in sentiment, thought, logic, and
was so much unconscious "bullism''
that Seumas once and for all time
settles the question of his birthplace.
This article will consist Of some quo
tations, very interesting. but not all
illustrative of Ginning tendency on
the part of the citizens Of the green
else who remain there from choice, or
a combination of other circumstances.
First we are told that Unrest has
been, perhaps, the only monotonous
attribute of the Irish for twelve hum
dred years, but during the past twelve
years or so this unrest has entered
upon new phase. A change has been
going on beneath the surface, but 1t Is
far enough advanced to show that a
new Ireland is rapidly forming an

ends Of the earth, now grown intro

greatest blessing that has befallen
Ireland for a century. The Gaelic

THE FOOL AND HIS MONEY,

There are some salaried men who
dare not carry money in their pockets.
It burns and they spend it wisely and
foolishly. Then there comes time
when there is nothing more in the
pocket. The conhagration is over and
always do after a fire. Prosperity is
always a promoter of recklessness, adj
versity a professor of caution in the
school of experience.
There has been a continued period of
plenty when almost every one had
money that burned in his pocket. Far
mers and merchants, professional and
salaried men have had surplus and a
prospect for more. Deposits grew in
flame of speculative investment. Peo-
pie took flyer at one thing and an
other. Perhaps it was a payment on
section of Minnesota or Dakota land,
block of stock In a rubber farm in
South America, plantation in Mexico
or an Alaskan mine. Whatever it was
they tumbed in and took a chance.
Just now in innumerable instances
adversely is getting in it's perfect work
as a schoolmaster rampant. The dance
is over and the fiddler is to be paid.
Those who rushed into speculation, who
bet their savings that an Alaskan
would prove another Ophir, that der
rick and a. hole in the ground in Texas
would pay dividends like the Standard
Oil corporation, and lost, are bemoan-
ing their unwisdom and diminished
bank accounts. The fever is over and
the fire out.
1t is strange that people must learn
by experience and refuse to learn by
example. Each generation must have
it's grief and it's lesson, must buy it's
costly bubble and bewail it's bursting.
Every flood tide of flush times furnish
es its shoals of suckers and the sharks
that feed upon them. A gold brick
draws some people as molasses attracts
flies. With all six feet fast they begin
to ponder. They must lose leg be-
fore they learn common sense and
caution and just now the sticky field
of crazy speculation is sown with legs
and wings. There will be from now
on a period of cautious investment.
This generation has had it's lesson, but
the one succeeding will repeat it's his
tory as this one has that of it's pre-
decessors. A fool and his money are
soon parted is as applicable today as
in the times to which the proverb
maker applied it.

BRITISH AFR,cA's pooR TRADE

Exports from the United States to
British Africa were about eleven and a
half million dollars in the eight months
ending August 81, 1904, as compared
with over twenty millions for the cor
responding period in each of the two
years preceding. OF this $11, 451 900
exports to all British Africa, $9,659,000,
or So per cent went to British South
Africa; and it is a noteworthy fact that
South Africa is our only foreign market
in which our sales do not seem to be
increasing. The department Of COM
merce and labor thru its bureau of sta
tistics has recently received some for
eign periodicals which show that the
decrease is due to a general reduction
in imports of South Africa from all
countries. OF the goods entering the
ports of Cape Colony and Natal in 1903
the following countries contributed:
Great Britain, s146.53s,s23; United
States, s30,227,3O6; British colonies,
$21, S47,972; Germany, s10,90S.567; Bel
quinn, s3,340,054; Holland, $1,653,754;
France, $1,151,141.
AS compared with the trade in the
other direction imports into the Unit
ed States from British Africa are very
small, but even here there has been a
large proportionate decrease. For eight
months of the present year the United
States imported s52s,oOo, much less
than in 1908, when the corresponding
amount was $SO4,OOO, or than 1902,
when the eight months imports
amounted to s640,0O0.

The story begins with pair Of

would add nothing to the story as far
as our readers are concerned. 1t dates
back to the days before the war. This
happy couple lived in the same neigh
borhood. became fast friends and fin
ally sweethearts, the civil war was on
and he a tall strapping youth must
answer his countrys call and take up
arms to defend the liberty and pre-
serve the union of the nation.
Before he goes off to the war he bids
his lady love goodby after vows of
love and constancy and promises that
when he shall return his wife she'll be
and together they'll found happy
home. He places his gold watch in
those days very valuable possession,
and other valuables in her charge.
During his stay whenever pay day
came all that could be spared was sent
back to the girl he left behind to be
saved up that they might have some-
thing with which to secure the home
they had so often planned together, and
so four long and weary years, filled
with many hardships passed away and
the day came when the young soldier
boy, now a grown bearded man should

had loved all these months with most
constant love. He is mustered out and

THE PERSONAL PRONOUN
Huntington HaWkeye.1

A number of southwestern Iowa ed
itors must have been indulging In the
fad of using "I'' instead of 1--WE" in their
editorial writings. Commenting on this
the Treynor Record says:
"This is another step in the cam
paign against the editorial 1--WE" We
object to it, The capital 'I' fad is
only another example of egotisrn. The
editors who use it have such high ap-
probation of their talent that they
want no possible change for any one
else to claim a share in their produce
tons. We prefer the 1--WE" when it is
necessary to use the personal pronoun.
1t is more dignified and less egotisti-
CAL OF course, good usage dictates
that the personal pronoun be omitted
entirely whenever possible"
The impersonal editorial has come to
stay. 1t is stronger and more convinc-
ing bectuse of the lack of the personal
pronoun, and it is more satisfying to
the reader. The ablest editorial writer's
of today practically eliminate that
which was once the characteristic and
weakening feature of editorial writ
ing
