Mr.. c. O. Case, State Superin

dressed the assembly last Tuesday
with short but enjoyable talk.

Friday, the 27tb, is big day for
the High School student body. In
the afternoon our baseball team
meet with the St. Davidians for a
clean and fast game on our home
field. In the evening the annual
Halloween party takes place. The
latter affair is to be hobo party

For opening exercises this week
we have been discussing and
"cussing" political questions and
issues. Each morning the future
voters ard lawmakers rise to give
theil opinions upon the leading is
sues and advocate the cause of
their party. From all appearances
the non.partisans are in the major
ity, with the socialists and Repub-
licans running neck and neck for
second place. The Democrats
seem to be decidedly in the minor

almost a life long resident of Ben

came as great shock and surprise
to his family and friends. While
he had been in poor health for
some time, he was not considered
dangerously i'll, and his condition
seemed in nowise critical. The
cause of his death was hemmorhage
Of the stomach, he having been
afflicted with stomach trouble for

every Much Exaggerated"

A report somehow got into Cir
culation Wednesday and by Thurs
day evening had spread into the
surrounding country that Dr.. J N.
Morrison, the we'll known physi-
clan, had met with fatal accident
while out automobiling. Return
ing from Curtis in bis car Thurs
day afternoon he was accosted sew
eral times by people along the
roadside, making inquiries as to
his injuries and giving expression
to their surprise and qualification
at seeing him alive and in the
flesh.
The telephone bell at the Morri-
son residence was kept busy ring
ing with inquiries and messages of
coincidence to Mrs. Morrison, who
failed to become panic stricken and
informed inquirers she thought it
ali mistake.
How the story got out is a mys
terry. as the doctor says there was
no foundation whatever to build it
upon.
DR.. Morrison says the report of
his death "was very much exag-
gerated."

THE RETURN OF TRUTH

If it is true-and it is-that tn
newspaper of the day is the most po
tent force in forming the morals o
the day, then anyone listening to tn,
men who are the motive power be
hind that force, talking in Columbi;
this week, telling the young how it i:
done and done successfully, must real
ize that Truth has come into her OWL
again, that this is the day of her res
direction and that her ancient enc.
my, Error, must indeed seek an easy
death among her worshippers.
After Shakespeare had waxed so po-
etically hopeful over the future OF
Truth, there came along a wise OLD
printer who said Honesty is the best
policy"
BE honest, not because it is the
best policy, but because it is right to
be honest" said the less wise copy
books which followed him. Rare is
that member of genus homo who does
thing because it is good rather than
because it is expedient.
Honesty pays" is the slogan of the
current advertising men who have in
herited the logic of Franklin. The
embryonic advertising men were told
how the advertising clubs of America
were spending 100000 a year adver-
tising the truthfulnes of advertising.
Courtland Smith, president and gem
eral manager of the American Press
Association, made a stupendous plea
that the truth be told about circula-
tiOn.
An editorial to be effective must be
believed said the master editor, or,
this way for those who will not be-
lieve unless they have laid their hand
in the wound, the man who gets s92,-
600 a year for writing editorials.
And SO on through a weeks pro-
gram. Honesty in news, honesty in
advertising, honesty in editorials
truth, truth, truth, everywhere. Homes
ty was the slogan of the week, and
truth was its watch word.

THE READY JOURNALIST

One noticeable thing about Journal
ism Week is the absence of the magic
"unaccustomed as | am" which for
years gone by has helped solve the
difficulty of beginning for the public
speaker.
Under the manipulation OF some
speakers or write:s-such as Irwin
Cobb, for instance-the words are still
in vogue, but they serve a far different
purpose as Cobbs mere name implies.
The journalists profession is a
ready one. He has learned to avoid
superfluity, and there is no better place
at which TO observe this than at a
gathering such as journalism Week
is.
True, other reasons might explain
this absence, such as fullness of sub
ject and ability to express.
But the journalist is not usually
speaker. He is only ready and hence
rises to the occasion with as good
grace as he can muster.

THE PROBLEM OF IRELAND

When England has quelled this most
extensive of Irish revolts, the problem
of ireland will be farther from solu-
ton than at any time in the history
of the troublesome island. When Sir
| Roger Easement and the leaders of
the Sim Fein have been convicted,
England's provincial statesmen will
not have touched the real causes of
the Irish unrest. The Irish upas tree
has more branches than Gladstone
ever dreamed of.
England's greatest internal states
man was only able to effect one COM
plete reform, the disestablishment of
the Irish church. The Irish Land Act
which h succeeded in getting through
parliament was only partially sue
cessful. And the people voted him
him down when he attempted to found
III Irish university.
Il was not until 1914 that the long
and bitter struggle for Home Rule
bore fruit. Then an armed protest by
tlster, the English" county of Ire
land, followed by the outbreak of the
European war, prevented its enforce
ment. Since that time Irish patriot
ism for the English cause has had on
ly promises to feed upon.
Coercion is the poorest,remedy that
-ngland can apply to the problem of
Ireland

WRITER'S GET TOGETHER

The tendency of the people during
the memorial years of history is to
cooperate by organization in favor of

chewing gulping, since the world began; and re-
pletion irked him above hunger.
The lover sighed and held her palm and looked
wordless rapture into her eyes and spoke wild
things to her heart, until he recalled the innumer-
able lovers who had, since life appeared on the
planet done likewise, not to mention mating birds
and beasts; and all the unending epthalamium of
passion seemed to rise from the past, and the
thought of it was like the sckly sweet of chloro-
form to him, and he turned away in digust and
left the maid wondering.
The drunkard stopped his cups when he remem-
bered how infinitely often this experiment in for
getfulness had been tried; the artists hand fell
limp for the cloud of ghosts of them that had
lived and strived in art before him like ex
halation; the saint paused in his prayers, remem-
bering the petitions, thick the rain or the sea
sands that in the long years had assailed heaven.
All were choked by the past, asphyxiated by the
gases of corrupting yesterdays strangled by ghost
hands of gone years; and they cried:
We stagger under the enormous weight
OF all the heavy ages piled on US.
And they rebelled at history, and complained
against the weight of experience, and longed for
the youth of the world, when all fresh, untred
and full of wonder; and they cried again
o antique fables! beautiful and bright,
And joyous with the joyous youth of yore;
antique fables! for a little light
OF that which shineth in you evermorei
To cleanse the dimness from our weary eyes,
And battle old world in surprise ,
OF golden dawn enhancing sea and shore. !.
