IRISH SITUATION IS VERY SERIOUS, BUT
 REBELLION SEEMS
 OUT OF QUESTION
Sein Feiners Are High minded, But It Is Their Ignorant Lieutenants
 Who Talk Loudly
 of Rebellion
By JOHN STEELE

London, June 12-(Special )-"The Next Rebellion in Ireland' is the title of an article published a few days ago in a sensational London newspaper which purposes to be written by "A Prominent Irish Politician" Whether the writer is Irish at all or a politician or prominent will not undertake to say but the ar ticle is typical of many that are being published just now in papers which never have been noted for their friendship to Ireland or for that matter to the United States It sets out to make the Cock ney's flesh creep by a recital of ter rible things that are going to happen, and it succeeds pretty we'll It also cre- ates an atmosphere favorable to the Eng fish politicians who are doing nothing in Ireland by putting the Englishman in the frame of mind to agree that probably nothing can be done for people so imprac- tical as those who live on the other side of the Irish sea.
 Having said so much, let me now add that the condition of affairs in Ireland is very bad indeed. There is practically no government there. The British gov .ent is helpless because of the pas sive resistance of the people who just ignore it's existence. Sim Fein is trying to govern without a legal mandate, but no one pays any attention to it unless it suits him to do so. In the villages the SC mbeen man and the local saloonkeeper politician are supreme as they were in the bad old days of the Land league or in fact in all the bad old days when the strong hand of the British government had been temporarily weakened In the old days they ruled in the name of the Land league or of the Irish party. Now tEey rule in the name of the Irish re- public, and all the time they are look ing out for No. l.
 This statement requires me again to modify it lest I should be denounced as ar enemy of Ireland.
 Let me say right here that no such criticism can be passed on the leaders of Sim Fein. They may be impractical idealsts, but they are honest and high minded men. Even their bitterist oppo- ncnts in Ireland concede this to them. 1 was talking few days ago to a leading Orange politician from Belfast and he declared that every one of the Sim Fein leaders was religious man, and he add ed that by this he meant really religious and not merely one who conformed to the forms of the church. This he declared made them harder to deal with than the old type of Irish politician who was a man of the world and sometimes set pra ctical success before abstract princi ples The men who are trying to run Ireland today from Dublin are worthy of all respect. It is their lieutenants in the country towns and villages who are sus- poets.
 It is also worth emphasizing that 1t is these iieutenants who are talking about
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-07-17

another rebellion, and it is their talk that is melting their ignorant tools to the outrages which are becoming unfortun- ately common in Ireland. The men in Dublin may be idealists, but they know that rebellion now would have not the slightest chance of success, and would only mean a waste of innocent lives. There will be rebellion if they can prevent it, and the village politicians, too, will do their best to keep their bellion to talk and to stop it before it gets to deeds. Whether they will sue ceed CT not is not certain, but I think tley will They are not of the type that is likely to face British bayonets, and if rebellion actually did take place trey would have either to do this or deal with their disillusioned dupes.
 In political circles in England there is a strong current of opinion that as soon as Lloyd George comes home from Paris he will deal with the Irish situation on the lines of federal home rule. One even hears talk of home rule for Ireland, Scot land and Wales and the division of Eng lend into three or four self-governing provinces. In any case, Ireland will be offered some form of self government, and indeed 1t may not take the form Of an offer, but of command that she &C., cept a ready-prepared scheme. Britain 5 efforts at securing Irish agreement have not ben so successful in the past as to encourage other atempts at a settlement along these lines.
 The great trouble really is that the English can not understand the Irish. They can't see why they will not com promise on principles for the sake of practical action. and at the same time they cannot understand why they seldom carry their political enmity into the per sonal field. l do not believe that the fact has ever been published before that John Recmond prevented the indictment for high treason of Sir Edward Carson be- fore the great war. The British gov erEment of the day. 1 am informed on the highest authority, had the papers all drawn for Carsons prosecution, but Red mond would not hear of it, and dis suaded the government from action. Who can blame the dull Englishman then for wondering why two men who had such high personal regard for each other could not arrive at some working polit- ical agreement at the Irish convention?
 Perhaps it is worth mentioning that great many people here believe that this was the secret of Redmond's fail ure. Redmond and his party were old hands at the parliamentary game and had become imbued with it's spirit. They could not forget that the men who played good fellows, and feeling as they did could not fight as hard as they might have done had they been fanatics like the present leaders of Sim Fein.
 In any case, 1 venture to predict that there will be no rebellion in Ireland. No one really wants it, and everyone with shred of responsibility knows that it would be futile.

place in the underworld beside the woman he loves.
 AS the story develops, his companions of the light fingered gentry try to force him into big burglary. But this is a little more than he bargained for, especially so when he learns that the house to be robbed Is that of his sister, and on her wedding night too,
 After many hair raising escapades. he outwits the crooks, and things be- gin clearing up and to such an extent that he marries the girl and lives ever happily after, but how the girl proves herself good and true and worthy of his love and condolences makes the big punch to the story, and it's something you never would guess
 In addition to '"The Love Burglar" there will be brand new Mack Sen nett girl comedy .,entitlel Trying to Get Along" featuring the full company of Sennett bathing beauties, and it's one of the funniest of all the recent re- leases If you like pretty girls and good, clean comedy, see this one, it's great. The Pathe News will be seen of course, making a big, three picture program that you will greatly enjoy.

five hundred thousand tons. of which one million two hundred thousand tons were lost to Tennessee, Kentucky and Virginia on the east and north: S10,000 tons to Kentucky and Illinois on the west, and 550.000 tons to Mexican and Texas oil on the south. Not only have wages increased but since the war de- creased output has increased the pro- portionate cost of output per ton.
 MT DeBardeeben told the committee Kentucky and Tennessee are now ship ping coal to Anniston, Gadsen and the Tennessee valley and stated that his pay roll at Sipsey in May, 1916, was S256eSS, and in 1918 s51o,5S9, and out put in 1916, 217,000 tons, against ae000 tons in 1918, and that liability insurance increased from s5137 to s12,7e4. He said s6o0,ooO had been invested in his company and bonds issued for $500 600, and that in the sev- eral years only ss7,Ooo had been paid in dividends or at the rate of about per cent.
 T believe with this extraordinary tax bill put into effect Alabama will lose 3.0Oo,OOO tons of coal" said MT. DeBar- deleben. If an effort is made to pass the tax to the consumer it would all fall on the Alabama consumer, who consumes about B per cent of the total output, and the tax on him would be about 15 cents ton. It would be the survival of the rltteSt, ana with Alabama naFroW territory not many operators could ex- ist. There are very few coal companies in Alabama of any great age that have not been in bankruptcy or verging on it during the last two or three years. They have made little money other cost items in the efficient labor. We pay this labor the same price that efficient labor receives in other districts, and it takes three negroes to produce work n What negroes are left after the migra- tion to the north and east are those that have been rejected by operators else where.'

Dust Boxes for Hens

Chickens never wash, as many other birds do, but cleanse themselves of in- sects by wallowing in soil. Where board or cement floors are used, some means of dusting should be provided during the winter months. For a flock of 50 to 50 fowls dust box 8 by feet or by 4 feet will be found large enough in most instances, and should be placed where it can be reached by sunlight during as much of the day as possible. Fine, light, dry dust is the best, but sandy loam is good. Road dust is recommended by many, but it is apt to be filthy Coal or wood ashes may be mixed with the soil if de- sired.

Workmen's Compensation

'"The workman's compensation act is one of the best measures before the state legislature, and I am anxious to see it's early adoption in the senate" said j. w. Porter of the Alabama company You have noticed the great number of dam age suits filed in the circuit court every day and in my belief this number will be reduced to the minimum by the pass age of an act which will bring the em- ployer and the employe closer together. It is a step in the right direction, and am anxious to see it passed as soon as possible"

THE SOLDIERS SONG

Through the rain and through the
mud,
Through the dark, bespattered blood,
Through the sickening mire and
stencil,
Out upon the open trench,
To entanglements and back,
Frightened by the starry track,
Where the blood was ooZing red,
over heaps and heaps of dead,
/ have fought my way along,
Buoyed by some little song.
Where the grass was sere and dry,
Creeping slowly, slowly by,
Oft before the break of day,
There would come my lonely way
Squads of men with fiendish will,
Trained to hunt and spy and kill;
Often when the sun had set,
Showing things in silhouette,
have started up to find,
Burning in my frenzied mind,
Fancied voices, fancied things,
All my strange imaginings.
Still / hummed my little song,
Through the right and through the
wrong,
And it kept my spirits high,
While l watched the millions die.

COAL ASSESSMENTS

~ EASSESSMENT of coal lands
X appear to be in fashion.
~ Washington county is the lat
est to report coal property valuations
as a campaign issue.
The coal companies, as usual,
make the claim that they are not
now over-assessed and are willing,
as in Dauphin county, to abide by
expert opinion based upon accurate
surveys of their lands. However
honest they may be, there is a deep
seated conviction in the minds of
the people that the county treasur-
les have not received their full
quotas from assessable coal deposits
and the whole matter must undergo
a thorough examination at the hands
of the authorities before the public
will rest content.
Nobody wants the coal companies
to pay one cent more than they
should. But, on the other hand,
everybody hopes they will be made
pay to the FULL fair share of their
holdings.

ALLENTOWN REJOICES

A LLENTOWN politicians are re-
~ joicing over the "end of bar
room politics" in that city, the
approach of temperance taking out
of their campaigns the customary ex-
penses for treating" beer parties, ="
and the purchase of an occasional
"keg."
1t is a matter for rejoicing that
this style of electioneering became
questionable in Harrisburg and
Dauphin county Republican politics
years ago. 1t has not been coun-
tenanced by the county organization
since those now influential in it's
affairs came into power.
The vote that must be purchased
with a glass of beer is not worth
having. At all events it wouldn't
stay purchased.
Booze and politics never did mix
well. Booze always came out ahead
of the game and proved a very ex-
pensive investment however used.
Dauphin county Republicans found
that out years ago.

MEMORIAL TREES

Honor to the generous patriotism
Of our farmers sons can be mani
tested by the planting of memorial
trees. Let these trees expressively
point their tops toward heaven!
Upon the return of the brave sons,
what a pleasing sight they will be-
hold as they look upon the attrac-
tive and interesting trees planted in
their honor! ! am an admirer of
some of the many species of ever
green trees which are beautiful and
pleasing to. the eye at all times of
the year. but especially attractive
during autumn, winter and early
spring. Varieties can be selected
to harm onize with the surroundings,
and thus additional cheer and beauty
will be obtained. Memorial trees
will be greeted with honor and rev.
erence for generations to come,
while the cost is inconsequential,
and tho memory of those who fought
and bled in our great and victorious
struggle for liberty. honor and JUS
