Redmond Blames BIRTHS h
for the Irish Dis
trust

London, April ~. - Absolute calm
seems to prevail in the Sim Fem party,
says Central News despatch from Dub
| lin. But ii is understood orders have
been given to all sections of the Irish
volunteers regarding action to be taken
in the event Irish CONSUMPTION is agreed
upon.
AT meetings of many public bodies,
the despatch adds, fiery speeches have
been made and strong resolutions passed
against the application of the man-pow
err bill to Ireland.
lrishmen maintain the right to say
whether they shall be conscripted or not,
according to Captain William A. Red
mond, son of the late John T.. Redmond
The captain made his first speech in the
House of Commons since he was elected
to the constituency formerly held by his
father. He was in military uniform and
occupied his fathers old seat in the
House.
In 1914, he said, Ireland was almost
ablaze with enthusiasm on the side of
the allies, but the sentiment OF the Irish
people had since changed toward the war,
owing to distrust of the British govern
ment and in the word of British minis
tiers.
By the governments present action
the Ireland of tomorrow, he added,
would be in open hostility to the war,
1t would require armies in Ireland to
recruit battalions, while if the govern
ment trusted Ireland, that trust would
not be BETRAYED. He warned the House
that if the government pursued its pres
ent policy there would soon be no Irish
party in the House Of Commons. But
there would be a much harder nut TO
crack --- Ireland.

Unusually favorable weather condi-
tons have caused an extremely rapid
and vigorous growth of whea; this
fall, and in some places there is dan
ger that the crop will reach the joint
ing stage before freezing weather
comes. Wherever this happens the
crop will suffer serious injury from
wiuter-kiliing. Many farmers are
asking the University OF Missouri
College o: Agriculture how to avoid
this damage. According to w. c.
Etheridge of the department of farm
crops, ii may be avoided only by pas
turing the crop now.
More harm than good ordinarily re.
suits from pasturing wheat, for the
second growth is not as vigorous as
the first growth and does not yield
20 well. Besides, considerable dam
age is suffered from trampling by the
stock. But when there is danger OF
jointing, pasiuring must be resorted
to as the only t OF saving the
crop. Even in this case, Judgment
must be used in applying the remedy.
Stock should not be turned on the
crop when the ground is soft with
moisture, as excessive damage from
trampling would result. When the
ground is dry cattle will do less GAM
age than sheep because they will not
Craze the crop as closely as sheep
would Craze it. But when the ground
is wet, sheep should be turned in
rather than cattle because they will
do less damage by trampling. Under
no conditions should wheat be pas
tured after the beginning Of its growth
in the spring.

~ are, which at time verges on
the criminal, especially when it
has to do with foodstuffs these
days, and what makes the case
far worse is that right behind the
NEGLIGENCE, or carlessness, is the
desire to evade the government $
edict replace wheat flour with
some other cereal. There is a
further tendancy to evade the
law by buying -four, first at this
place, then at that, and thus get
more than the law allows a per-
son to have. This is distressing
for by such transgresslon 1t be-
comes as much a criminal act as
ninety per cent Of the criminal
acts that go before the Superior
court every term.
What makes this evasion OF the
law doubly wrong is the fact that
this wheat -four is needed for your
boy and mine over the seas, and
unless we deprive ourselves they
cannot get enough to eat, the
crops being too short to provide
for all. Would you then have
your boy, who is fighting your
battle and mine, go hungry? No
YOU wouldn t think Of it, and yet,
unless you do obey the law and do
without wheat -four that is what
will happen this fall.
Ninety per cent Of the people
Of America will never see the bat
tie front, and it's to this ninety
per cent Of every community the
country looks to aid in conserva-
ton. If we are not willing to do
our part then we are not fit to be
protected from the terrible Hun,
who, when he gets you will scar
you, score you, and make you pay
a fearful penalty.
Let the civilian population of
the land, whether he be merchant,
farmer or artisan make a vow
that he will go without the needed
grain, that he will be a guardian
also over his neighbor, and see
that he does so too, that he will
watch out for violations by the
merchants who are fagrantly VIC
lating the food administca tons
orders, and report them promptly
and in this way we, at least, will
be a community that may in the
hereafter look with pride on oul
strict observance Of the law.

"WOMAN'S SPHERE

It is not our intention in this
article to enter into a discussion
Of the great question now agita-
ting this country, the apparent
outcome Of which will place wom-
en-, at last, on a perfect equality,
politically, with man. Each side
Of this discussion has its advo-
Gates. and each. no doubt are hon
est in their views.
We do wish, briefly, to call at
tent1On to some very erroneous
views as to woman s proper
'sphere.
We regret to note a tendency
on the part Of some Of the more
prominent advocates of femme
emancipation, to belittle the idea
that woman 'snatural place is in
the home. This can have no good
effect and is liable to work great
harm.
Admitting that there are many
women who are capable Of great
er things than mere housekeeping
t1f there can be any greater oc-
cupatlOn) at the same time we
must recognize the fact that these
women are greatly in the minority
While we may count this class
by hundreds, there is another
class that must be counted by
thousands and millions whose
bastes inclinations and natures fit
them to be home keepers, and only
home-keepers. The women who
really would throw off the cares
of the home for public lift are
very few as compared to the great
host Of those who are willing to
assume those duties, but who pre-
fer them to any other sphere
III life.
The lncrutable wisdom of Pro.
violence has decreed that women
must bear children if the race is
to continue. The idea Of child.
rem in any place but home is one
that has never yet found favor
with our people. And the
thought Of a home in charge Oh
any but the mother is another
thought to which we have not vel
become accustomed.
By all means grant women the
ballot and perfect equality with
men. By all means grant her the
privilege Of public life if she pre-
fers it and is fitted for it. There
are a few such, and we would
speed them in their careers. Blu
while this is the case, there ar:
thousands who's highest aspira
ton is for a home Of their own
and we protest against any polio,
that would tend to sow discorl
in their lives and cause them t;
yearn for a career for which the,
are totally unfit.
