adorably fat fellows with caps which
appeared to have been sat upon, and
rudy faces which acquired a ruddier
hue with every repetition of the re-

Chastity of the Irish.

Ireland has had a prominent place
on the map this week. st. Pat
rick has had his day and his mem
DRY has been properly revered. Tie
men of ireland have ha6 their praises
sung. But how of the women, whom
we are all too apt to forget on all
such occasions.
It was the sweet-tuned Moore, it
need hardly be said, who penned this
graceful tribute to the virtue of Ir-
ish women and the chivalry of Irish
men:
Rich and rare were the gems she
wore,
And a bright gold ring on her wand
she bore;
But oh, her beauty was far beyond
Her sparkling gems and her snow
white wand.
Lady, dost thou not fear to stray,
So lone and lovely, through this
bleak way?
Are Erin's sons so good or so cold
AS not to be tempted by woman or
gold?"
Sir knight, feel not the least alarm
No son of Erin will offer me harm
For though they love woman and
golden store
Sir Knight, they love honor and vir-
tue more,'
1t was not the characteristic exub-
erance of the ardent Irich nature
finding expression in extravagant
speech, for Moore had basis of fact
for his poetry. Then, as now, there
was more respect in Ireland for moral
law than in any other county in the
world, save one. Proof of the virtue
of the women is supplied in this table
showing the percentage of illegiti-
mate births in the various countries
of the world as presented in Mulhall's
Dictionary of Statistics:

Joe and His Jokers.

Quincy Journal: The few republi-
can editors who attended the meeting
at Springfield Tuesday will furnish
rare sport in the next campaign. AL
though they confessedly went to the
gathering as the puppets of Joe Can
non, the way they fetched wood and
carried water and suffered their noses
to be rubbed in the soil was a real
wonder It must have made the speak
er and his coterie chuckle with glee.
In obedience to the Cannon whim the
editors went the limit. No excuse can
be offered for any endorsement of the
house rules. Even those who profit
{ by them could not expect that. Yet
the Republican Editorial association is
now on record as officially declaring
that "the present rules of the house
are absolutely necessary for the trans
action of the business of the nation.
Hence we heartily commend the 10y
.alty and faithfulness of Speaker Jo-
sepf G. Cannon in enforcing said
rules"
Editors who meet IN convention and
seriously pass resolutions declaring
that the business of the nation could
not be transacted except for Speaker
Cannon's enforcement of the house
rules would bring 1920 head in Mis-
souri,
But over there they are marketed
under the name of mules.
That editorial convention is the
one huge Joke of the season

The ohio senatorship.

Two months hence the republican
general primary to decide the ques-
tion of successor to United States
Senator Dick, whose term will ex-
pire next March. The primary will
not be legally binding upon repub-
lican legislators, but morally 1t will
hold them to the carrying out of the
verdict of the people, according to
political view.
VI Not in a decade or more have the
republicans of the Buckeye state
appeared to be so completely up in
the air. as they are at present With
the senatorial contest soon to be
decided and the gubernatorial cleo
ton but year distant. it may be
said that as yet practically nothing
has been decided on in regard to
candidates or campaign issues. The
democrats, on the other hand, are
ready for the battle to begin. There
is to be no contest for the governor
ship on their side, for there will be
no opposition to the denomination of
Governor Harmon. The senatorship
is not bothering them at present.
The party leaders believe that II
they succeed in capturing the legis-
lature there will be an abundance
of good material from which to
choose senator.
The result of the coming legisla-
tive elections cannot be foretold now
with any degree of certainty. The
existing conditions are so badly mix
ed that the best informed men of both
parties do not known what to expect.
If the campaign were to be fought
out on national issues the repubh-
cans would feel confident of success.
But as the liquor question promises
to predominant over all other issues
the party leaders hesitate to predict
the result of the contest.
Senator Dick has announced his
candidacy for reelection and appears
to be confident of success. Dick has
for 20 years conducted campaigns in
Ohio and is thoroughly familiar with
every twist and turn of the political
game in this state. He has many
warm personal friends in every quar-
ter and they are said to feel encour-
aged over the outlook. There is I'M
deniably an element in the republican
party that would prefer the election
of Ex-Governor Myron Herrick or
Harry Daughtery, both of whom are
regarded as candidates for the toga,
to the reelection OF Mr.. Dick. But
after all, the activity of the demo-
Gratis is the real menace, and when
the proper time arrives it is expect
ed the rival factions among the re-
publicans will patch up their differ
ences and work together to elect
their candidate, whoever he may be.
President Taft is clearly neutral
in the senatorial contest. He has
so informed his friends. If his broth
er, Charles P. Taft, of Cincinnati,
were to enter the contest the presi-
dent naturally would like to see him
win. The understanding is general,
however, that Mr.. Taft will not enter
the senatorial fight, but on the other
hand, will use his influence to have
the successful candidate elected by
the legislature, If that body is repub-
lican.
1t is interesting that there are at
this time no symptoms of a rehabil-
itation of the political fortunes Of
former Senator Joseph B. Foraker.
After he left Washington a year age
he returned to his home in Cincinnati
and there is now no prospect he will
be called out of his retirement.
