FUTURE FOR IRISH CULTURE
Yeats, Eminent Playwright, Has Great
Confidence in the Develop
ments of the Future.

Thomas Beecham. who took the
chair when an address on THE Irish
Theater" was delivered by w. B. Yeats
at Sunderland house, according to the
London Times, said the Irish theater
was the Most remarkable dramatic
theatrical phenomenon this country
had seen for more than 200 years.
"One phenomenon in the theater Of
our day is the great revival OF roman
tic drama in Europe. We see an eff
fort to establish what was known as
English opera, and if that is success
full it will do probably more to re-
establish the legitimate literary ro-
mantle drama than anything else" he
declared.
Mr.. Yeats said the question was
often asked, What is a bad play?'
His reply was that it was a play
which depended for its success upon
some temporary interest. The ma
ioritv of plays in London were of that
character and would pass away be-
cause they appealed to temporary
interest. 1t had been said that Ire
land did not read much; but in Ire
land they would find a tradition OF
spoken culture and unwritten litera-
ture, and the Irish theater movement
begun Is years ago would not have
been started had there not been con-
tidence in that culture. Ireland was,
of all countries, the least sentimental
and one of the most passionate. He
did not say that victory would come
in their lifetime, or for two or three
generations, but there would come a
raal national culture out OF Ireland.

Supply and Demand

Patty cake! Patty cake! Baker man!
Buy all your flour as cheap as you can.
Put it in barrels and store it away;
Maybe the price will go higher some
day.
And then you can knead it in nice
fluffy dough,
And sell it to people at five cents a
throw.
Patty cake! Patty cake! Baker man!
Work on a nice philanthropical plan.
Talk of the law of supply and demand,
And hang to the flour already on hand.
Tell 'em that wheat is as dear as can
be,
And charge 'em six cents for a loaf
that costs three.
Patty cake! Patty cake! Baker man

But the price of a loaf will remain at
six cents!

Community Spirit Most Of ms
know the meaning Of co opera
ton, at least so far as is cycmpli

be, in business life. But how
many Of MS realize the meaning
and significance Of the spirit that
seeks the good Of the whole com
munity at the cost Of self denial
and self sacrifice Of the indiyidu-
ais that compose it?
DO we consider every public
project in the narrow sense only
of its effect upon rs individually
its effect upon our p0ckctbo0ksl
If a better school means moro
taxes, more expense to us, do We
oppose it on that ground only
If public park or playground
means n cash contribution from MS
do we oppose it because Of that
fact or because we have no chill

recreation places ourselves Are
we unwilling to contribute to TIN

HE HAD NO FEAR
Of SUBMARINES
Consul McNeely Talked Opti-
mistically to Friends
at Washington.
WAS PLEASED WITH JOB
Young Tar Heel Eagerly Awaited
Chance to See Old Lands to
Which He Was Bound.

Washington, Jan. 1.-The pres
ence on the torpedoed Persia of Rob-
ert McNeely, the young North Caro-
linian who was en- route to Alden to
serve as consul, has given an unus-
ual notoriety to this latest sea trag-
edy which is regarded as frought
with the most serious possibilities
The fate of McNeely is awaited
anxiously, not only by large numbers
of friends and relatives in North
Carolina, but by the State Depart
ment, although it's action in the mat
ter will be very largely determined
by whether or not American lives
were placed in wanton jeopardy. Suf
ficient information upon which to act
may not be placed before the De-
partment under several days. If Nc
Neely has escaped, his testimony will
be regarded as of utmost worth.
McNeely was in most optimistic
frame of mind before leaving Wash
ington on the dangers of submarines.
He remarked that if the ship he in
tended going on should be attacked,
he would not be left in the water if
! there was anything around to float
on. He told the Observer correspon-
dent he did not expect any trouble
and that he believed the greater dan
ger of such attacks had passed.
He was happy over his appoint
ment as consul and looked forward
to seeing the life along the Mediter-
ranean and in the old countries. His
appointment had come after a long
wait. He passed his examination in
| the fall of 1904 with an excellent
grade. There was no suitable vacan-
cy at that time and he continued in
his law practice.
Assistance was given him by Sen
Representative Page in getting ad-
mission to the school and in receiv-
ing his appointment which was made
October 1S, 1915.
McNeely is widely known in North
Carolina, being a student at the Uni
versity of North Carolina from 1905
until he received his license in 1907
to practice law. The next year he
was chosen a member of the House
of Representatives from Union coun-
ty, and subsequently he was called
upon to become Senator, representing
Union, Stanley and Davidson coun-
ties.
In college he was recognized for
his love of oratory and for his stu
dious habits. He is 32 years of age.
