Rosues in Fiction and in Real Life

Rogues of fiction are not half as
harmful in their confessions as some
of the rogues of real life-for instance
the prominent financier who is just
now engaged in making his former
business comrades bear the blame for
every tricky deal in which the promi-
nent fnancier himself had a leading
part. Just because this prominent
financier did not get what he consid-
cred his rightful share of what Rallies
would call the 'swag,' he. is denounc-
ing all his associates as thieves of the
lowest sort. This sort of "confeSSing"
is infinitely worse in its effects than
the harmless memoirs of Raffies or
Galloping Dick. 1t destroys the time
honored belief that there is code
OF honor among thieves. The burglar
or the highwayman took chances and
would not have played the baby if
caught. Both are manful in their vii
lainy. But the prominent financier is
as contemplate as the small boy who

HOME RULE PROBABLE

1t Is apparent to the student of Eng
nsh politics-the scope OF which may
properly be held to include Great Brit
ain and Ireland-that Ireland is nearer
to home rule today than II has been
for many year and that an appeal to
the country now would very likely give
the Irish home rule party the balance
OF power.
The resignation of Mr.. wyndham, the
chief secretary for Ireland, and the
circumstances attending his with
drawal. are evidence OF the distress of
the present government and a con-
fession OF the utter inability of Mr..
Baifour to deal with what has come to
be called the Irish question.
The Balfour government is tottering
to its fall. Joseph Chamberlain can
drive his opponents from power at any
time. and there Is no doubt whatever
that he would do it but. for the fact
that he fears the home rule question
would initiate against the success OF
his own policy of professionalism the
former rather than the latter would be
regarded as the dominant factor in the
general elections that must ensue.
Chamberlain has the votes necessary
for an appeal to the country-that is
certain. Why he does not use his pow
er is-a question that is bothering Bal
four. more-than anything else, but it Is
plain enough to the outsider:
He knows that hitherto the Irish par
iiamentary party has been aligned with
the unionist forces in the hope that re-
form in Irish government would come
from that side of the house Balfour
has not. done anything for his Irish
allies, Wyndham saw the impossibiIity
OF holding the Irish in line unless
Something was done: to take the ini-
tiatice would be to put another weapon
into the hands OF the Chamberlain
party. Wyndham is out, the Irish
party is in position to assert its indie
pendence and is now waiting TO strike
blow at that head which first comes
within reach. and if there were an
election IT would find itself a solid
body holding the balance of power and
capable of exacting what it would from
e government holding by its sufferance.
The hour is close at hand for the
carrying out OF reforms in Irish gov
eminent. but the man has not arrived.

probable, one of her flying columns is
already in the vicinity of the railroad
to the west Of that point, IL the line Is
torn up and destroyed, then Lineyitch's
fate is sealed. without communication
to the westward, without reinforce
ments or supplies or the possibility Of
securing them, he can either. be
brought to immediate capitulation or
pounded into fragments at leisure.
To q student of these movements
and operations this appears to be the
central idea of the campaign The
simplicity Of it is matched by the colos-
sal confidence in their armies that the
Japanese commanders must have felt
to plan and attempt to carry out a
campaign which on paper and in. adj
vance seemed scarcely less than fool
hardy. If the end fits what has thus
far been accomplished, it will stand
unique and memorable in all the an
nails of war.

story of a December romance, the
principals in which are a bride and
bridegroom each aged ninety years.
1t is not altogether a cheerful story.
Though married but few brief
months. rift has already pierced the
lutte Of love. and for the present, at least.
the lovers have separated. The ener-
getic bride insisted upon her husband
week. Though in other respects very
Romeo for gailantry. seemingly, the
husband drew the line at this COM
mand. and friends are now endeavor-
ing to bring about a reconciliation.
Unsatisfactory as the tale is. however.
it proves that the little blind god rec
ognizes no deadline of romance.
The journals which told the story of
Garcia's triumph and the La Crosse
romance printed the same day an &C
count of a more tragic occurrence, but
one which also indicates that activities
do not cease beyond the sixtieth mile
stone. A woman of sixty in company
with her young son made the journey
from Denver to Medicine Bow, Wyo,
a distance of one hundred and fifty
miles. on foot. Lame when she started.
the lameness was aggravated by the
journey and she is now in a hospital
at Medicine Bow. Yet she is anxious
to travel the remaining three hundred
miles that still intervene between her
and her destination.
1t would seem from these three Incl
dents that DR.. Osler has not delivered
a crushing blow to those who are sixty
or over. They are still able to supply
the daily papers with stories of service,
romance and heroism. And it is prob
able that when that learned gentleman
has passed from this sphere of mum
dane activity, young folk of sixty.
eighty or a hundred will continue to
pursue the even tenor Of their way
and to inspire the world with their
heroic or romantic deeds.

SIGNS OF SPRING

An eastern journal recently pub
lished a number of letters from read
ers who believed that they had de-
tected tangible indications of the
speedy dissolution of winter. These
ranged in value from the springiike
tone of ROSTERS early morning crow
to robins chirp and. aside from the
variety they represented. We're chiefly
remarkable for the faith each writer
professed in his particular sign. IT is
doubtful, however, that they made any
impression on q. skeptical publica.yho
has seen too many spring signs fail to
become enthusiastic even when its at
tention is called to a large and choice
collection of them
All signs, apparently, We're meant to
mock hope, but there is a peculiar ma
liciousness about the spring sign that
makes it particularly offensive. Like
dreams, all such signs GO by contra :
ries. WHAT is needed is an entirely
new set that viii warn the credulous
that the early robin means a helated
blizzard; the April crocus, May cold

The robin sign, most popular Of all. is
also the most fallible. But this is not
to be wondered at, for among SO many
of this particular species of the feath-
cred tribe. it would be surprising, IN

few redbreasts idiodc enough to pin
their faith to an early northern spring

THE CONSCIENCE FUND

The United States treasury has Just
received the sum OF twelve thousand
dollars from a repentant sinner who
confesses to have robbed the govern
ment of about fourth of that sum at
some period in his career. It's the
fashion to bewail the age as a con-
scienceless one. but this and numerous
other incidents of the same nature
prove that the still small voice is con-
tinuing TO do business at the old stand.
Its method has changed somewhat.
though. The conscience stricken indi-
vidual who sent the twelve thousand
dollars TO the government did not think
1t necessary to inclose his card, where
as, had he lived a few centuries back,
1t is just possible that he would have
felt called upon to make his atone
ment a public one.
But there is healthier tone TO the
modern conscience. 1t does not de-
mand that the individual shall make
his confession to the world when his
transgression has not affected the
honor of any other person. 1t does not
inspire in him passion for self-tor-
ture. He repents him of the theft he
has committed. sends his check for the
amount. together with the accumulated
interest. and is again at peace with
the world. with no one the wiser for
the little bout he has had with his con-
science The public. to be sure, loses
the example. but to offset this. the In
dividual is in no danger OF falling a
victim to a morbid kind of pride which
in the past frequently resulted from an
ostentatious expiration OF sim
But one fault the modern conscience
shares with the old fashioned con-
science and that is that there is not
enough Of it to go round. 1t Is prob
able. indeed. that the former is more
scarce than was the latter. The more
individual consciences in good working
order that there are, the more promis-
ing will be the prospects for the devel-
opment of public one which. as DR..
Hadiey OF Yale pointed out the other
day. this country so sadly lacks. The
conscience funds indicate that there is
a first class nucleus for one and the
steady growth of these permits indul-
gence In the hope that public con-
science will arrive in the near future.

The reforms are not outlined. the ele-
ments OF difference in the Irish party
are no longer bitterly personal. but
there Is not great leader in pariia-
ment- Nevertheless 1t may happen
that Ireland shall be presently made
the beneficiary OF parliamentary action
that it could not have hoped for few
months ago. The downfall OF the pres
ent government viii give Ireland the

DRESS AND THE OPERA

Grand opera in serial form gave New
Workers. several bad quarters of an
hour last season because of the vexed
problem 1t raised in regard to what
was proper to wear. Imported into
the west this season it promises TO
produce not the slightest ripple of ex-
element. 1t is not that We care for
opera more. perhaps. but that we care
for clothes less.
To be sure all except the suburbanite
VIII find it possible to hasten home
after the afternoon part of the per-
Torrance, shed his afternoon garb and
appear in the evening Respondent and
triumphant in conventional evening at
tire, At least this is what we are as
sured- But even were it not possible.
no citizen would stoop to consider the
ACCESSIBILITY of providing himself. be-
fore attending the opera, with scissors
and pins-the former to improyise a
decollette, the latter to attach the nee
essary coat tails. Yet such a make
shift toilet was seriously considered in
the east.
We are no better than New York.
however; only different. The latter
rises superior to opera, we rise SUI
perior to raiment For the Gothamites
finally solved the problem br arriving
late at the opera, reasoning. character
istically enough, that a half opera
listened to in conventional attire was
better than whole one and social
opera and just penetrating the mys-
terry of clothes. it is possible we would
make similar choice.
Extremes meet and it Is interesting
and curious to note that something of
the same exalted reverence for style
that permeates the east is observable
also in the extreme west. Just recently
a tenderfoot entered a mining camp in
Nevada and dressed for dinner. The
enterprising miners hustled him to a
tent and charged the crowd an admis-
sion fee- The gate receipts more than
paid for the drinks. But 1t is an atti-
tude of indifference to the evolved fig
leaf that makes for peace. The middle
VESTS serenity during thee approach
ing grand opera season will be largely
due to the fact that clothes hold no ex-
allied place in its esteem.

A New Chapter in Ireland

The resignation of the chief secre-
tary for Ireland from the British cab
met has a special bearing upon the
political situation in, the united king
dom. since 1t appears to be designed to
save the government from an early
overthrow as the result of the threat
ened detection of the Ulster unionists.
But now that Mr.. Wyndham has re-
tired, bringing his brilliant career in
Irish affairs, to q somewhat lamentable
conclusion. the entire chapter of the
so-called, Macdonald episode assumes
increased Importance In the political
history of Ireland. The story has
lately been worried out of the ministry
in the slashing debates of parliament.
