DisaRection In Ireland.

When he was in Galway some time ago
Mr.. Redmond warned his fellow country
men that the work Of forty years was now
at stake and that if they would they might
prove themselves "a nation of reckless, ir-
responsible, unthnking men, utterly un-
worthy Of self-government."
There are some men in Ireland to-day
who seem determined to undo what has
been done by their friends and TO deliver
themselves over into the hands Of the
enemy. 1t is not large party, but it is
noisy and very active, and in every pos
sible way il is comforting and encOurag-
ing those who profess to base their opposi-
lion to every measure of Irish indepen-
dcnce on the belief that the people Of Ire
land are unfit to govern themselves.
There is little reason to question the
recent revelations in "Thc Morning Post
of London, nor can it be doubted that there
is a we'll organized conspiracy against re-
cruiting in the South and West. In a
sense this is good news for the Unionists
and they will, Of course, make the most OF
IL. II is true that the conditions may be
attributed chiefly 10 the Slackness of those
In authority and to the extraordinary lib
critics allowed to the mischievous Sim
Fein element, but it will not be possible for
the better sort Of Irishmen 10 excuse them
selves on that score when the day of reck.
oning comes.
When some companies Of Irish soldiers
offered TO take part in the ST. Patrick'S
Day celebrations in Cork they were re-
jected on the ground that the British
army is in hostile occupation Of Ireland, and
il would be as absurd az for Belgians 10
invite contingent from the German army
20 participate in a Belgian national cele-
bration." That is a typical incident, and
II shows 10 what degree the spurious
patriotism Of the Sim Fein has spread in
Ireland. "The Morning Post" makes much
Of the disaffection apparent in several
parts Of Ireland, but there is little reason
10 believe that the account it publishes i,
exaggerated, for it is amply confirmed by
other witnesses.

Latin and Greek literature have long been sur
rounded with the barbed-wire fences OF stupid ped

the languages in which they written. Moreover,
the pedants require that the languages be studied

1t is absurd that the Of Latin and Greek
should be locked away from the reader by
these supersttohs of outworn academic tradition.
Practically all of them available in excellent
TRANSACTIONS needing only little attractive bookmak
ing to render them popular.
What might be done in this direction is suggested
by Marcus southwell Dirnsdale, in his History Of
Latin. Literature" The writer gives of hope to
those who would like to the classics treated as
human productions, to be read and judged BY human
standards, just judge Alfred Noyes Rudyard

they are not at all the "high-brow stuff he has been

Iivy as entertaining the latest fiction. and laugh

that is OPEN
In week Or so McClintic was
salesman for the concern on the
road. Presently he saw an opportu-
nifty TO buy q stock OF goods on easy
terms from a Texas firm that was
going out OF business. and he opened
MS little store in snyder, Okla
He became city clerk of snyder.
Then just out of politeness, the peo-
I'le sent him to the state legislature.
He got behind a bin that was popu-
lar and was promoted to the state
senate. From there he stepped into
congress.
So far as appearances go there is
nothing to indicate that McClintic
did not come to congress direct from
Fifth avenue instead of from the
oklahoma senate. He is a trim look
ing young man of the type that
ready-mado clothing manufacturers

No particular moral attaches with
the life story Of McClintic. If there
were one. it would simply be to the
general effect that you never can

Everybody was surprised, especially
his former teachers. They hadn't
supposed il was in him. But that
was not all. In a little while he got
a still better job. This time it was a
place as bookkeeeper in q. bank at
$50 a month.
What do you know about that ?"
people asked one another. Just
think of Jim McClintic pulling down
$40 a month"
They could scarcely believe it.
Everybody liked McClintic well
enough. He had no bad habits or
noteworthy vices. They simply look
ed on him as a young man with a
predisposition not to amount to
much.
McClintic knew just how people
felt, and so one day he resigned his
job as bookkeeper, packed up his
trunk and took it to the little railway
station.
Just keep this for me-" he said
TO the agent, and if you don't mind
: wish you would check it to me
some day"
Where win you be?" asked the
agent
That's what l don't know" Nc
'Clintic told him. LAS soon as I'VE lit
some place I'll write you postal
card and then you can send me the
trunk. The only thing ] can tell
you now concerning my wherea bouts
is that I'll never be around here any
more"
In due course McClintic made his
way 10 st. Louis. Just a few min
Utes after his money ran out he got
himself a job in a wholesale dry
goods house at a salary of 50 a week.
His duties consisted mainly in
