The Irish standard., 1914-12-19

With what grace an Irish Catholic
can support the attitude of President
Roosevelt, the defender of Oliver
Cromwell. is beyond our ken. Mr..
Roosevelt decided some years ago
that Oliver Cromwell was a misjudged
man, accordingly he wrote biog-
raphy upon the life of that individual
whose name is at best synonym for
persecution, vandalism and outrage.
Surely the Mexican priests and nuns
have suffered but little in comparison
with what the Catholic priests, nuns,
and laity suffered at the hands of OIL
yer Cromwell and his murderous army.
We quote the following from Theo.

teenth century was looked upon with
horror by the leaders of English
thought, political and literary; the
very men who were carrying to fru-
ition Cromwell's tremendous policies
being often utterly ignorant that they
were following in his footsteps. At
last the scales began to drop from the
most far-seeing eyes," Again we quote
from the life of Oliver Cromwell:
Had the Irish remained Celtic

the same light as we accept his espou-

to appeal to the popular mind. Pres.

OF the United States, he was rebuked
by the Catholics throughout the world
for his former attitude and a con-
sistent attitude on the part of Cath.

treated with soma suspicion since we
are without evidence that his contri.

THE COUNTRY DOCTOR
BY WILLIAM r. KIRK.

~ AY in, day out, night out, night in,
Where snow is thick and fees are thin,
He hustles with his CHEEKY grin
To fight with Ills.
The drives are long, the nights are cold.
He suffers hardships left untold
To call upon some mother old
Across the hills.
Little he says about his pay;
Often he gives his skill away,
And though he's getting bent and gray
He has no wealth.
His life has been an endless trial
His motto has been selfdeniai;
Freely he gives from every vial
For some ones health.
The gallant soldier goes away
While fife and drum and bugle play
Bravely to conquer or to STAY
That is his part
The country doctor rides alone
Through rugged roads, DER stick and stone,
To heal men, not TO make them moan;
God HESS HE hearE

Positively the only thing that

fnd in his own home a brand of

They're Not Insane; Just
Harmless Imbeciles,
Perhaps.

This acquits our gentlemen and
lady friends Of insanity, even II It
does carry with It a suggestion of
intellectual imbeciltty. Some per
haps would prefer one and some
the other. This explanation is sug-
gested by the fact that what we
are now witnessing is nothing new
so far as the essential features of
the case are concerned.
Some years ago 1t was bicycling.
Then, as now, 1t was the neither
extremities that were worked in
compensation for the inaction of
the cerebral extremity.
But people are, by the kind prov
idence OF God, 50 constituted as to
be unable for long to forget their
brains, even If they make no prac-
teal use OF them; and 80, after a
couple Of years, the bicycles were
sent to the pawnshop or stored in
the garnet
Then later on came the epoch
of bridge whist. 1t answered the
same purpose as bicycling, filled
the same chasm that tango, turkey
trot and similar gymnastio vaxa-
ries fill now. It had its day, but.
as was recently remarked by a lady
who used to teach bridge whist,
my occupation is gone; nobody is
playing it any longer"
What will come next no one can
foresee. Possibly these faddist de.
voices will conclude that their mis-
taken craving will better be met by
more substantial and creditabls
satisfactions.

HENS AS LIVING COST So

Editor The Georgian:
While there Is so much talk OF
how to solve the high cost Of liv-
ing problem, think the follow
ing will be of some help to the
readers OF your valuable paper
1t should be especially helpful to
the working man, who depends
upon his income for a living and
who has a back yard.
In a back yard 40 by 20 feet
have 46 White Leghorn hens,
which were Matched May %. Dur
ing the month of December they
laid 6s4 eggs, which I sold for
so cents a dozen, or total OF
sS4.2o. The entire cost OF feed
for the month was Sc, leaving a
net profit Of s2s.2O for the month.

will give the same care and at
tention TO their poultry that they
give to any other business.

The Mayor Of Philadelphia has
issued call for significant con-
ference and the mayors of nearly
all the large cities have respond.
ed to it favorably. The object is
to establish a permanent national
bureau Of public utility research.
The purpose Of the bureau is to
collect information showing tile
actual cost Of operation of the
various kinds of public utilities,
such as electric light plants,
street railways, water works, etc.
to the end that the rates charged
the consumers in the cities may
be based on actual cost and not
be such as the company wills 70

This is surely a praiseworthy
undertaking. 1t is impossible
for one city to acquire for itself
all the information needed or to
fight single-handed and alone the

limited means. 1t is for this pur-
"se that the bureau is to ,e

PANCHO VILLA AGAIN.

If the real war in Europe did
not almost entirely absorb the
attention Of newspaper ,readers
the front pages of the America
papers would now carry scare
heads announcing that General
Villa has fulfilled all reasonable
expectations by declaring war
against CarranZa. .---~. sod ,s-,-..
1t was a foregone conclusion
that as soon as Huerta was out
of the way and the road to the
City of Mexico and the spoils
open the constitutionalists would
begin to fight among themselves
Tor the leadership. .n>
1t has been apparent f.
months thu, anybody who at
tempt.ed to be president would
have Villa to fight. The little
cow thief's conduct has shown
that much from the time he
ceased to be ra~o'' bush
whacker and donned the title of
general" with his moving pic
ture regimentals.
How far American spectators
are responsible for the outfttiny
of Francisco Villa is problemiti-
..cal. He got his backing from
somewhere outside of Mexico.
He raised an army because he
was able to offer two pesos day
as soldiers pay, and he had the
coin to pay his men and to buy
food and equipment for them.
Of course he stole some of it, but
he did not steal all of it. Some
body staked Villa. and it was not
Mexicans that did it.
But if patriots from across the
Rio Grande put up the money for
