lRELAND'S EVIL GENIUS,
(Lit"rary DiGest,)


Another Irish revolution is almost due. says the
birmingham Gazette, and will break out shortly
unless the British ,crnmcnt take rapid action to
end the Irish deadlock by giving immediate effect
to tn" liomc-R Rule act which is upon the
statute book. This view is in part. shared by the
London New Age. which says that the whole bur
den of responsibility rests upon the shoulders of
one man, who, if he would but say the world could
end the mpassc Immediately. This man Is the
Ulster leader Sir Edward Carson, and the New
Ago says he has cost Britain half a million men:
we can not refrain from referring to the
raordnary situation OF Sir Edward Carson. who.
more than any other in the world. is respon-
SlIc for the Prussian subbo1nncss of Ulster His
cost to us We reckon, is about half million men.

France or elsewhere than whore they are now

desirable II we intend to win the war within the
present decade Next. it is necessary to maintain
in ireland a considerable body of trained as well
as unframed British troops for the purpose of in
| surfing that the 100000 civilians are kept in hand.
And, lastly, it is necessary to have in England
within easy reach Of Ireland another considerable
force of trained British troops to act in any cn,cr-
I"ncy. Altogether in short, estimate that half
a million troops of one kind or another immo-

Edward Carson is mainly responsible. can not be

| That the Irish situation is worrying the English
| we can see from the mpa ssoncd appeals to Sir
Edward made by the English press. For example,

I'VE put it to Sir Edward Carson and other u
stcr leaders; Arc they prepared to do nothing to
help us out Of this very serious difficulty? VIII

able exclusion and no step taken which could bring
them within mailing distance of Irish National sn,-
will they accept the responsibility and the consc

! On the other hand. some journals think that the

Carson and Mr. Redmond far too seriously and

Out where the hand clasps n little stronger,
out where the smile dwells a little longer
That's where the West begins;
Out where the is little brighter
Where the SHOWS that fall a little whittier,
That's where the West begins.
out where the skies trfIc blucr,
Out where friendships little trucr.
That's where the West begins:
out where frcShcr breeze is blowing
Where there's laughter in every streamlct flowing
Where there's more Of rcapinE and less Of sowing
That's where the West begins.
out where the world is in the making,
Where fewer hearts in despair are aching.
That's where the West begins;
Where there's more of singing and less of isghing
Where there's more of singing and less of signing
And man makes friends without half trying
That's where the West begins.

TO AID THE FARMER.

Billings has launched plan which has for its
purpose the creation of a fund with which to aid
farmers in the purchase of seed wheat and pota e
toes. The borrower gives a note for the actual
cost OF the wheat and it is estimated that the
will enable the farmers to plant about 5000 acres
mor,s than would be the case if this money were
not available.
Some Of the Mssoula banks have expressed them
selves willing to make six per cent loans TO rcpu-
table ia rmcrs who in need of financial assistance
in order to purchase seed. 1t must b" remembered
that there certain legal restrictions bank
ing business which been made to safcguard
the dcpostor and that the banks cannot do more
than this under any circumstances.
There las been discussion of such fund in
Missoula, but it would seem if it would be 4 pa

them from deadlock from which. as politics CO.

A NEW ARMY.

Since entering the the United States has set
to work all of the agencies at its command in an
endeavor to mobilize its army of soldiers, its army
Of farmers and its industrial army. There re-
mains another duty before the country. In addi-
ton to completing the mobilization of the various
branches mentioned it is necessary to raise
and train army of investors
one of the main factors in the successful prose-
cution OF the by the French has been the fact
that behind the army IN the field stood army
Of 100000 trained investors who supplied what
has been designated as the silver bullets The
government of the United States has fol-
lowed the system in vogue in other countries Of
interesting the with small savings in govern
mcnt bonds as investment. The United States
shows lower per capita saving than any of the
other large countries of the world and this seems
to be due to a large extent to neglect Of proper
training.
Thrift is being preached on all sides and there is
little doubt but that the governments plan to make
the present bonds of such denominations that
the small investor afford to take one or more
will not only aid in encouraging the thrift Of the
country, but Will also result in floating the large
war bond issue without any difficulty
In the long the average investor will be much
better off with his money placed with the govern
mcnt than if he were to make an investment on his
own account. Three per cent interest is assured
and the bond itself is Of course, as good money
in the bank. The fact that $4,000 900 has
been deposited under the governments postal
ings system guaranty enough that all
small investor needs is training only two per
cent interest is paid by the postal banks.
1t Is expected that the low denomination securi-
ties will be ready for the public about the first of
May and is good time for the of small
to train for the time when he can con-
tribute silver bullet to aid in the prosecution
of the war.

THE STREETS.
(By William II. Hayne.)

II every street, narrow and wide. could speak,
And every pavement wag a goSsips tongue,
What tragedies and comedies we'd hear,
Now all unknown because they have no voice.
Each stone insensate could declare tale
To waken laughter or to wound the heart;
For day and night above their silence throbs
The ceaselcss tramping Of unuumbcred feet.
Streets the arteries OF city's heart
Bloodless. yet stronger than all mortal life:
Thus they survive the tortured souls that walk
Grimly along them when all hope has fled,
And youth and beauty tripping gaily by.
Untouched by sorrow and remote from death
If streets could speak. what stories yet unborn.
What vital poetry yet unsung
Would thrill the world and make It pause to heal
