The Ulster rebellion"

"There was Tantalus, who stood in
a pool, his chin level with the water,
yet he was parched with thirst, and
found nothing to assuage it; for when
he bowed his hoary head, eager to
quaff, the water fled away, leaving
the ground at his feet all dry"
And as was the water to Tantalus,
SO is home rule in the Imagination of
some inhabitants of Ireland
The Ulster men pretend to be
dreadfully in earnest, but few persons
believe that they are really going to
secede from the United Kingdom. The
people of Ulster have little in SYM
pathy with the rest of the people of
Ireland. Many of them are fanatics.
They fear that they will be discrimi-
mated against by Dublin parliament.
In the past they have often been ar
rayed in bitter opposition to the real
Irishmen, and they pretend to think
that a system of reprisals will be in
augurated when the lawmakers get
together.
Much of opera bouffe is discernible
in the marchings and counter-march-
ings of the Ulster army; it's swearing
of liberty or death oaths; its red fire
and its oratory. But history shows
that the men of Ulster are brave ir
battle and in peace, and it may be
that blood will be shed before Tanta.

Some True Poetry

The dictionary says poetry in the
widest sense may be defined as that
which is the product Of the magma
tive powers and fancy and which ap-
peals to those powers in others. But
who would invade the dictionary, with
all its prosaic and ponderous pro
fundity, in search of enlightenment
as to why "there is pleasure II
poetic pains which only poets know,
or for an answer to other questions OF
a similar nature?
"a poet soaring in the high reason
of his fancy, with his garland and
singing robes about him." may find
material for his theme in the resound-
ing clash of embattled armies, or in
the ''primrose by the rivers brim.' =
He may sing of "winking marybuds"
with as sweet Tilt as of the fall Of
Lucifer.
The poet eye, In a nne Frenzy roiiiiB,
Doth glance from heaven to earth, from
earth to heaven,
And as ina gination bodies forth
The forms of things unknown, the poet s
pen
Turns them to shape, and gives to airy
nothing
A local habitation and a name.
Which is all very well for those who
like that kind. As for us, give us
some substance along with the airy
nothings-drive home moral while
the driving is good. For instance
here's this gem, culled from the col
umns of the New York Sun and bear
ing that somewhat worn but still be-
witching "entitlement," Lovely
Woman:
The railroads are hostile to tight hobble
skirts,
And claim it's because they're productive
Of hurts;
But who shall deny that the real dangers
lurll
In taking the minds of the men off their
work?

The Tariff and Business

The Underwood tariff will soon
become law. Mr.. Underwood feels
that no branch of business will be
seriously hurt, while the people in
general will be greatly benefited by
the downward revision. A few weeks
ago when the new tariff was we'll
advanced, leading business men gave
it as their opinion that manufacture
ers had discounted the effect of re-
duced tariff rates and that general
trade would be normally active during
the fall. But now that the tariff
bill has only to receive the Presi-
dents signature more or less nervous
feeling is in ~evidence among timid
men in the business world. 1t is a
safe prediction that within three
months after the new tariff law is in
operation the business of the coun-
try will be moving on brislSly and the
chances are that the Underwood tariff
will prove decidedly popular.
The New York Sun of Sunday made
special feature of interviews with
prominent manufacturers and others
on the effect of the revised tariff.
Among those who discussed the mat
ter freely was James Simpson, vice
president and general manager of
Marshall Field & Co., Chicago. He
said:
The effect of the new tariff was largely
can tell what the ultimate results from
the new legislation will be. General busi-
ness conditions are healthy and give
promise of continuing so throughout the
rest of the year. The demand for mer-
chandise in the middle and far west ia
exceedingly good at the present time and
indications are that this condition will
continue. What the spring will develop
1 do not believe can be forecast at this
time.
julius Rosenwald, president of a
large concern, had this to say:
Business in Chicago is booming and
there has been no material effect from
the tariff changes that / can see. Ours
is an Immediate consumption business,
however and we would not notice the ef-
fects-at this time, but from my observa-
tions and knowledge of general business
conditions there has been no appreciable
effect one way or another from the new
| tariff.
Fuller E. Galloway of LAGRANGE,
Ca, who controls many large cotton
mills, said:
| / do not see any reason for honest bust.

| tariff. On the other hand / believe that
as soon as business adjusts itself to the
revised rates the country may expect q
season of gerat prosperity. What Is
| needed now is the speedy passage anc
operation of the tariff measure so that
business may adjust itself to it and any
| inequalities which may become apparent
may be corrected
The Suns interviews, as a whole,
were optimistic in marked degree.
Even those men who were not en-
thusiastic said there was no cause for
alarm.
