HETEROGENEOUS.

We hear so much about the
freedom of Ireland-or rather
the lack of it-that it is well to
be certain what we mean.
The nothern part of Ireland
was coloniZed hundreds of
years ago by settlers from Scot
land. They have preserved to
a great degree the habits and
qualities of their ancestors.
Even the names have survived.
McGoverns, McCoys and Nc
Dermotts reveal their origin in
their prefxes. A Mccormack
is of different stock from that
of an O'Connor.
The Scotch are essentially a
race of ambitious toilers. They
are notably a nation of machin-
lists. Nearly every marine en-
CINE room on the ocean con-
tains a Scotchman.
What wonder, then, that the
north of Ireland is dotted with
YEA thy manufacturing
towns? And what wonder
that the south of Ireland wants
to help divide the income?
The south of Ireland con-
tains the same stock that came
there two thousand years ago,
reinforced a little. perhaps, by
the British, Or Celtic races who
fled hither when the Scandina-
VANS and German Saxons
made their conquests. They
have preserved till today too
much of the conditions that
existed then. The northerners
decided to do otherwise.
The Irish population is as
complex as the Irish question.
Without criticising the quail
ties of the southerners, one of
which-an intense love of
freedom shows how high they
can rise, we must concede that
they have not made their end
of the island a counterpart of
the north in industry or wealth,
although they have exactly the
same political privileges, and
more than the same political
representation as any other
citizens of the British Empire.
Which are facts to be borne in
mind when we undertake to de-
termine offhand all the Irish
problems that we have not yet
begun to understand.

can call it a world at peace. if
we like. We can call an ele-
plant an angleworm. We
can't get arrested for doing it.
There is need of peace, Hea-
ven knows. There is need of
a peace league, if il can insure
peace. If il can't, il should
still continue to try. But let
us not commit the stupendous
folly of assuming that all wars
are ended forever, and that
America is eternally guaran-
teed against danger from for
eign aggression.
A few weeks ago, two Amer
leans captured by Mexican
bandits saved their lives by
paying a ransom of $4,000.
We aren't safe even in our own
back yard.

The Koreans have lust put in

The Koreans have just put in
a claim for self determination,
and one of their reasons is that
they are Christians. Some of
them probably are. Their
claim has a religious as well as
a political basis. And il seems
about as good a claim as sever
al others that we have heard
lately.
But it seems strange that we
have only just heard it. and
that the political side of il is
kept carefully in the back
ground. If theological con-
victions have been nourishing
these aspirations so long, why
have they been concealed till
now? The inference seems to
be that it is at present the fash
ion to claim political independ-
ence of some one or other, and
the Koreans judged that it was
time to get in line.
There is no question that, as
long as this job of re-charting
the world goes on. the more
complex and diversified it will
become. And il seems likely
that every claim that is made
has in it the seeds of another
war.

FACE THE FACTS.

The Japanese are not so far
away from Lancaster as we
think. They are not with us
in the flesh but they are bring
ing philosophical truths home
to us with the utmost emphasis.
The elegance of their diplO-
matte language equals that of
the most abstract minded of
the idealists at the peace table.
On brotherly affection, disin-
terested helpfulness, interna-
tional cooperation, conciliat-
tory unselfishness-on these
and kindred themes they dis
course with rather more fluen-
cy than most of the delegates.
They may intoxicate the more
altruistic of the diplomats
but they stay sober themselves.
The war has dealt, kindly
with Japan. Her great rival,
Russia, is now below the hOri-
zon, and likely to stay there.
And as far as Japenese hege-
mony of eastern Asia is con-
cerned, there is nobody else in
sight.
The province of Shantung, in
falling under Japanese control
takes with it a population of
100000. We were inform
ed that the league Of nations
would prevent this annexation.
At all events, the exalted
phrases in which our own at
titude was defined conveyed
this idea.
The Firms, Russians, Poles,
Austrians and Roumanians are
all at war. The Italians and
Jugo-Slavs are in battle array
against each other. Various
nations have internal wars 60

also would be at war, if there
was any one able to dispute
her claims.

The announcement of the death %
Miss Mamie Goodloe, which occurred
in this city, at 2 o'clock last Friday
morning, caused deep sorrow to many
who knew her in her childhood days.

instead, she grew suddenly worse and
sank rapidly to the end.
Miss Goodloe was daughter Of
the late Mr.. and Mrs. Duncan Good

the West End of this county, owning
portion of the farm, now belonging
to Mr.. Frank Tamme. The entire

LOCAL IMPROVEMENTS.

The successful business man
must base his life upon honor
and integrity. Beyond and out
side of these, he must have the
compound of initiative, aggres-
siveness, determination, prac-
ticability and vision which
America, in her love for con-
densation, has chosen to style
pep.
The successful, wideawake
and progressive town must
possess the same qualities. 1t
must have the judgment to rea-
lie that its prosperity and
growth depend on the home ad
vantages and business advan-
tages which it can offer. And
it must have vision enough to
see that expenditures which Sc
cure these advantages are not
an extravaganza, but an asset.
Money spent in local inn
provements such as public
buildings, schools, good roads,
sewers, city water, gas and
electric light, is money well
spent. Undertaking any Of
these Improvements is like
making an excellent invest
ment, which is bound to return
dividends. The gain to the
town reacts to the comfort and
benefit of every citizen.
Who wants to live in a town
without pep, a town which
drags out its monotonous ex-
istence without growth or i'm
provement? When the ques-
ton of a local improvement
comes up, stand behind it,
boost" it, work for it, vote for
it. Install local improvements,
and you will see your town
sought by business enterprises
and manufacturing.
1t is up to you, Mr.. Citizen.
Stand up for local improve
ments first, last and all the
time, and you will help make
your home town a desirable
place of residence and a pro-
gressive business center.

WHO'S WHO?

The self-determination of
small peoples is to be more
than a political process. 1t is
going to be an exercise in COM
parative ethnology.
There are some small ma
tions to be self-determined
whose names we have only just
heard of. And there are some
that we haven't heard of yet.
No doubt there are folks in
] ancaster who have always
known who the Creations are.
And the Jugo-Slavs. And the
I.ithuanians, Bosnians, Cinga-
lese, Koreans. etc. Most of US
probably, have a fairly distinct
idea where these different peo-
pie live. Some of us, perhaps,
don't know that. And very
few of US have a precise idea of
their exact political status.
1t is perplexing to be con-
fronted with the question
whether a certain race is or is
not a classified subdivision of a
larger race. And, if so, wheth-
err it ought to be cut loose or
not. And if not, why.

Pupils Visit College.

Fifteen pupils, taking the agricul-
tural course in the Little Rock High
School in Bourbon County, recently
visited the College Of Agriculture and
the Experiment Station at Lexington.
The party spent the entire day get
ting acquainted with the specialists
and the experimental work which is
being carried on in the barns and
fields Of the Experiment Station farm.
The youngsters, their teachers who
came with them and the people at the
college and station enjoyed the novel
experience Of pupils going to school
outside the class room.

And now they are attempt
ing to prove that the crow is
not so black as his featheiy
coat-that he is in fact a help
er toward the cultivation of the
fields. We are told that the
crow follows the pillow or cul-
tivator so that he may feed up
on the numerous larvae, such
as cutworms, wireworms and
white grubs, which the turning
of the soil brings to light. If
a flock of crows is observed re-
turning again and again to a
particular field it is almost GER
tain that the field is infested
with noxious white-grubs-
1t is also said that crows des-
troy quantities of mice and
young rabbits, and that their
activities among sprouting corn
and in the poultry yard have
been greatly exaggerated.
We have never expected to
see the crow upheld as an as
sistant to the farmer. And we
hope that he is preparing to
live up to his new and desirable

and with the little things that make

All these relationships are human

we may effectively stife them by
