ago. England, who has handled Beers,
Hindus, Afghans, Burmese, Malays
and Zulus with consummate tact and
liberality, has failed miserably to I'M
derstand the brilliant, proud-spirited.
loveable race, united to her by many
ties Of blood and closely identified
with the glory Of her arms and the
triumphs of her spirit of adventure,
whose home is separated from her
shores by only a few miles. True, the
old, oppressive laws are no more, and
the rapacity which once drained Ire
land has been transformed; England's
policy in Ireland to-day is the land for
the people" But the seed of hate,
fear and distrust was sown for so
many years that the harvest still
grows upon the soil The present in
surrection is one more illustration of
the way in which the lengthening
shadow of old wrong may fall across
nations path.

Might Send kilograms to Berlin.

Bloomington Pantagraph: 1t may
be we'll to suggest that the persons
who are pouring in kilograms on SEN
ators and representatives in congress
to do nothing that will provoke war
might send some of those kilograms
also to Berlin. 1t is commonly under
stood that on the action of that gov
eminent on the submarine question
depends the other question of main
tanning friendly relations between the
two governments. 1t is all important
that the government of the kaiser do
its part in the effort to keep the peace
as we'll as the government at Wash
ington, and since the senders of these
kilograms evidently have special rea-
sons for wanting to keep on good
terms with Germany they could very
consistently communicate their wishes
to that government All want peace,
but it must be sought with all possible
earnestness by both governments, and
no doubt the wishes of those who are
sending kilograms to Washington
would command at least respectful at
tention at Berlin.

Ireland's Independence.

Wichita Ckan) Eagle: 1t would be
better for Great Britain if Ireland
were independent England canno,
assimilate Ireland. 1t never will.
England has tried it the hard and soft
way. Neither worked. 1t isn't Eng
lands failure. 1t would be anybody's.
If Germany should win the war and
annex the British empire, the first
trouble Emperor William would have
on his hands would be in Ireland He
might scourge the island with his ar
tillery, imprison its leaders, throw its
editors into Jail, rae the cities and
fill it with garrisons. Ireland would
go right on being Ireland. England
tried vigor without success. And the
concessive policy has brought Eng
land nothing. She was brought about
to give Island home rule. She has
not applied the war measures, such
as the liquor prohibition, to Ireland.
She has not extended CONSUMPTION TO
the island, And yet Ireland has no,
softened to her mother country. She
is full of the spirit of revolt The
Dublin outbreak shows that plainly
enough. After the war Great Britain,
in memory of the islands attitude
during the war, will probably apply
the goad again. But it will not change
the spirit Of the people For Ireland
will remain Ireland.

Mann's Conduct Near to Treason.

Wichita (kan) Eagle: Again min
GRITTY Leader James R Mann comes
into the limelight He is in favor of
scuttle on the seas He lines up
against America and with the kaiser.
And now he attempts by a cheap po-
litical filibuster to delay the consid-
GRAFTON of preparedness measures.
Not many weeks ago Mr.. Mann was
favored with the plaudits of the ma
ton because he urged the placing of
patriotism before partisanship. Why
has he not followed his own advice
With Germany menacing us from
across the Atlantic, with our little
army almost surrounded in Mexico,
and with Japan's half-veiled threats
heard from across the Pacific, to fill
buster against preparedness at this
particular time comes dangerously
near to treason. What has Mr.. Mann
to say for himself? And is the repub-
lican party to follow him to destruc-
ticn?

Oral Hygiene.

Doctors nowadays never hesitate to
look a private patient in the mouth.
In many instances it is an adventure,
indeed. But then, the practice of med
icine is just one adventure after anoth-
er anyway.
The mouth has been widely adver-
tised in recent years as first class
place for growing germs. Even in this
column we have limited occasionally
that rheumatism begins with septic
focus in the mouth in many cases, ami
clears up only when the depot of poi
son is eradicated.
Unfortunately, we still have the dit,
fdent dentist in our midst-the
skilled mechanic, perhaps, who per-
mits the whims and vaporings of the
"old woman" to guide his hand in
treating oral sepsis. There are some
dentists still doing business who tell
patrons or would-be- patrons that it
doesn't pay to fill the baby teeth, be-
cause the teeth will be lost in a few
years anyhow. But competent dent
lists assure US, if We need assurance,
that it is highly important to keep
the primary teeth in the best possible
condition, by dentistry when neces-
sary, in order to preserve normal
soil for the development and erup-
ton OF the permanent teeth.
And we can assure the dentists that
unless the primary or baby teeth are
kept clean and sound, by careful
mouth hygiene and intelligent dent
istry. the child, is much more suscep-
tible to scrofula tuberculosis of neck
grands) and, later in life, consump-
ton.
Decayed primary teeth have a great
deal to do with diseased tonsils and
adenoids in children.
Dentists and physicians agree tina.
antiseptic tooth-pastes or powders are
not generally desirable, but should be
prescribed only in certain cases re-
curing an antiseptic. Mouth and
tooth cleanliness requires no antisep-
tic applications. Indeed, antiseptics
promiscuously employed may ulti-
mately do more harm than good, by
inluring the mucous lining Of the
mouth and thus opening portals OF
infection.
Plain soap and water on the tooth
brush seems as efIicacious and as
agreeable as anything for cleansing
the teeth, but II the taste OF soap is
obnoxious there are good tooth-pastes
and powders which are feebly or not
at all antiseptic.
A clean mouth is sort of blanket
insurance policy against diseases
particularly in children.
Parents can do no greater service
10 a sickly or unhealthy child than
TO have any cavities in the teeth prop.

Doubts English.French Friendship.

Paris.-The scientific editor OF the
Temps doubts whether any permanent
friendship between France and Eng
land is possible as long as England
sticks to her obsolete system OF
weights and measures.
"All the things that England ana
France are agreed on says the edi-
tor, such as the Interchange OF Ian
guages and the building Of the chan
mel tunnel, as as nothing compared
with the absolute necessity for France
to induce England to adopt the metric
system. Think how difficult ii will be
for the Frenehman to thread his way
through the mazes of British weights
and measures when, after the war, ne
turns 10 British trade and industry to
furnish him with the greater part oil
what he needs to restore and rebuild
his shattered factories and work
shops"

Amos Chidlelgh sat at his desk one
hot July morning hopping his brow.
Then he said to himself.
why should I stay in this hot town

there is any profit for a couple OF
months or not Why should !? My

The only objection to Mr.. Chidleigh's
going to the country was that he was
too old to join In with the young per
sons he would meet and he wouldn't
know what to do with himself. He
was forty-two years old. However, he
made up his mind to get snin OF sea

hands of his chief clerk, he got into
his car and after a hundred miles spin
pulled up in front Of summer hotel

As he went up the steps he noticed q

Chidleigh's twenty years before. IL
indeed it were she he need not be lone

remaining incog. and making her ac-
quaintance as a stranger. Going to the
hotel office, a clerk placed the register
before him, and he signed his name so
that it looked like A. Chindey.
The next day he was sitting on the
piazza near the lady he supposed to be

After some parieying the offer was
accepted, and the trio spent pleasant
afternoon visiting various points OF In

her name, but he propounded some

Notwithstanding the replies TO bis
leading questions Chidleigh could not

lady was Adele Smith. Going to the

would not give it up that the daughter

However. Chidleigh found assoc.a.

her mother out In his car every DAY
that the mother would 90. and when
she declined his invitation he took the

One day when they were driving
alone together they left the car and

before them were so vast

THE LITERACY TEST.

Organized labor is again convicted
of shortsightedness by efforts Of the
leaders to browbeat congress into
passing an immigration bill that shall
include the literacy test. The bill
now pending in the senate embodies
the latest demands Of the labor unions
as TO the restriction Of immigration
that is. in regard to making more diff
ficult the importation of commodity
which they deem.tO be to the interest
of their constituents to make scarce

most direct way to reduce the number
