John Mcneil Hopes for Interdepend-
ence Between England and
ireland.

Sim Fem still continues it's agita-
ton for the exercise "of the right
claimed by President Wilson for all
peoples to determine the sovereignty
under which they shall live" Within
the last few weeks enthusiastic meet
ings have been held all over Ireland.
Though the assemblies were in every
instance orderly, yet the Government,
In some cases, appears to have been
alarmed. The Irish Weekly indie
pendent has this to say of meeting
proposed for Mitchelstown:
Large crowds assembled at Mitchels-
town on Sunday, where a meeting had
been announced to be held to cele-
brate the thirtieth anniversary OF the
death by shooting of four men there
during the land war. The authorities
proclaimed the meeting, and took
ample precautions to prevent it being
held. Over 200 police, under the COM
mand of the County Inspector and five
District Inspectors, were drafted into
the town, together with a large force
of military. Armored cars and motor
ambulance paraded the streets, ma
chine guns were placed at various
points of vantage in the town and
military snipers we're posted on several
trees in the neighborhood.
The trenchant Leader, commenting
on this incident, remarks: after all
there is nothing like being free peo-
pie in these days of the cause of
small nationalities."
Despite these repressive measures
Sim Fein has become the party of
the people. In recent private letter
to America, scholarly unprecedented
Irishman writes:
you mention the Dublin convention.
I hope some good will come of it.
1t will be all the better for the peace
of mind of England if it settles the
question on the widest lines of free
dom. The nearer the freedom ap-
proaches the demand outlined by John
Mcneil, and the Sim Feiners, the bet
ter, namely, int dependence. The
word expresses two things, independ-
ence Of Ireland and England, with in
Independence Of one on the other. The

KEY FURNISHED TO
TREASURE HOUSE
How Best Aid to Wonderful Information
May Be Secured


What vast and mighty treasures of
words full OF rich meaning lie locked
up In our anguage-hidden away from
common use, and enjoyed only by the
learned few. 1t is as il, possessing
the mineral wealth OF Mexico, mined,
smelted and ready for the mint, we
turned scornfully aside, revelling in a
voluntary poverty.
A dictionary constitutes the treas
ure house Of language. AS a people,
we needlessly deprive ourselves of the
helps at our command. In our daily
tasks, not one of which can be per.
formed without the use of words, we
possess only the most primitive tools,
when we might be equipped with the
keenest and most efficient. If the die
tionary be the barred and bolted treas
ure house we have mentioned, then
the coupon we print daily in this paper,
is its key. For we have thus made it
possible for everyone to own a modern
first-class dictionary. The book is
brought down to date with new words,
I 300 pages being devoted to the dc.
tionary, and great fund of informa-
tion adapted to the daily needs Of a
busy man or woman. The work is
beautifully illustrated in colors and
half-tones. The flexible real leather
cover, adds to the beauty.

From Hotel Lobbies

II am at a loss to understand the ap-
parent carelessness Of the government In
allowing strategic points to be left en-
tirely at the mercy OF possible enemy"
said Col. James e. Calkums. native
of Alabama, who has been spending few
days at the New Willard.
with the lessons taught by the Euro
pean war it is not beyond the possibilities
that this country may yet be dragged into
the hostile arena, In which event the very
shores OF the United States would be
the object Of gun fire.
II admit that the struggle being waged
in Europe has promoted the cause OF pre-
paredness, but judging from some OF the
things i have encountered on recent
trip through the Southern States, am
afraid that We have not yet fully grasped
the great need of absolute preparedness.
"A month ago I spent some time In
Fernandina, a seaport on the extreme
northeastern Atlantic coast of Florida.
This town possesses harbor that has
been described by the Navy Department
as capable of giving anchor ground 10
practically every ship of our sea forces.
For years previous. to the European
war Fernandina has been great port
for the export of phosphate, naval stores
and lumber. German, English, French
and Spanish steamers freQuented the port
to take away cargoes. On several occa-
sions ship captains of different nation
alities were discovered exploring the ad-
jacent waters of the harbor and making
notes Of the channel
They recognized its strategic import
ance If war should occur, but the United
States never gave 1t thought. There
Is absolutely no means of defense to pro-
tect this harbor from being made port
of entry by a hostile fleet"
Michael L. Yokel, who halls from Salt
Lake City, and who has won many
honors on the wrestling mat, Is guest
at the Hotel Harrington. Mr.. Yokel is
firm believer in the old slogan. back
to the farm"
From my experiences as a wrestler
and business man, 1 am convinced that
after all the proper place for man is out
in the big open country where one can
come into intimate touch with nature.
IT spend the winter months of every
year travelling about the United States,
but I am. always glad when summer time
rolls around so that can take up my
farm work. The only tonic 1 can suggest
as a certain producer of robust health is
outdoor work.
"I bought a large ranch a few years
ago, and when / am not busy with pro-
fessional engagements you can find me
working on my farm. 1 attribute my per-
feet physical condition to my ranch
work"
Besides his interest in sports and ma
ture. Mr.. Yokel is a politician He said
that in the recent Presidential election in
Wyoming he was Judge at a polling place
and that out of sixty-six women who cast
their ballot, sixty voted for Wilson be-
cause "he kept us out of war" He de-
clared that the same condition existed at
practically every other voting booth In
Wyoming.

Up to the Senate.

The full membership of the United
States Senate must now decide the
fate of approximately 100000 en-
ployes Of the government in the mat
ter Of increased compensation.
By the vote of the Committee on
Appropriations of the Senate, all in
creases, except those affecting the
salaries of secretaries to members OF
the House, remain stationary. In the
latter item, Senatorial courtesy has
permitted the increases to remain and
they have even been strengthened by
the adoption of the amendment which
places these employees on the regular
Federal payroll.
The Federal employees will not at
tempt to show the injustice of econ
omy, applied particularly in their d.
rection, if they are wise. On the
other hand, they will now center their
energy on proving the absolute JUS
tice of their claim for higher, salaries
by logical arguments impressed upon
members of the Senate and those who
will comprise the conferees on the
first supply bill to be enacted into
law-which will be accepted as a
standard.
Pointing out inequalities In other
measures adds little to movement
designed to show injustice and lack
OF fair consideration of the salary
schedules, While there may be pork
IN other bills, there is no gratuity or
community advantage in general in
crease in wages for Federal employees
and the opponents of the higher
wages would do well to emphasize
