vital question Is. Can the President

afford to veto It? Appropriation bills
have been vetoed on account Of short
comings much less serious than those
of the measure here dealt with. The
legislative situation gives no reason
whatever for apprehension In the
event Of the President Withholding his
approval. Should he veto the bill
there is no reason to doubt that II
would be passed promptly after being
modified to meet bis objections; the
course Of legislation would not be ap-
preciably affected; the government at

SENSE AND
 SENTIMENT
By w. H. J. TAYLOR, President of the Retail Credit Men's National Association.

ucHt OA the AetaIl Cfeu1t MeH'a National Association. It has often been said that there is no sentiment in business, but, as
 matter of fact, sentiment plays a
 far greater part and is more potent factor in trade than most people realize. And it is good thing that this is so. otherwise our Industries would never have de- veloped the artistic side that makes them truly great and wonderful. The clever advertising men know this when they describe alluring styles, attractive homes, inviting automobiles and tempting foods for us to purchase.
 Sentiment stirs our patriotic pulses and moves us to buy bonds. enlist, work for the government and do our utmost to win the war. But sentiment, whether patriotic or otherwise, must be governed by sound sense.
 You may yearn to do everything in the world to help your country, yet If you do not set about it sensi- |1ply you dissipate your powers and accomplish nothing. If you are stay-at-home, as many of us must be, you can do big bit every day in supporting the sentimental side of everyday business Realize that what people are un- certain about they fear, and that fear collects terrible price in taxes. When a man is in fear there Is a strain on his nervous system: when business fears there Is a drain @ no started capital was frightened into inertia and business Jagged. The stock exchange closed and there were all sorts of goomy prophecies in the air. There was no reason for the uncertainty but still it was there-emotional depression-senti- ment gone wrong. The sweep of unprecedented ac- tivities soon showed us how silly we had been. The realization came that the only meance was inade- quacy in supply Of both labor ana materials. Sense soon set senti- ment straight.
 We entered the war in April last. and again business got emotional and hesitated--the same illogical timidity We soon got over that and realized that to all the millions our
 allies had spent we were going to
 add more. We saw that this needed
 bigger business than ever. Sense
 won again Its rightful place over
 sentiment.
 Now the cry of rigid economy"
 !s raised. Is silly sentiment once
 more to shake our sane sense? There
 would bs no better way to pro-
 mote possible panic than by just
 extreme exaggeration.
 Waste is bad. but indiscriminat-
 ing economy Is worse.
 Let us be sensible enough to re.
 alize this.
 K Trade is the basis of the national
 life.
 Keep that life strong by keeping business booming bigger than ever. before.

 Mr. Mack stopped abruptly and breathed sigh of relief perhaps he felt that there was not enough romance in the outline of what he'd said to be an inspiring recital, but, after all, what is it if not largely romance that has made the IrishInan such charming per- sonality in all times and ages, who will always kiss a lady's hand, love his own soil, and worship God with all his heart?

My Irish plays aIe an example of the high regard I have for my native country, and I am trying to perpetuate it in song and in story. The Irish people of the past-the TO- mantle Irish-in knickerbockers and lace shirts and waistcoats are gone; the mod ern Irishman, however, has quite as TO- mantic existence as those of former days; the Irishman of today, like the Irishman of old, is quick and bright and witty, and in my Molly Dear play, thoroughly modern picture of Irish life is drawn with piety, chivalry and patri- otism thrown in. The Irish, in spite of their great suffering and the sorrow they have endured, are romancers, pure and simple-you can't separate them from romance.
 Personally. like the old classical Irish things MT.
