DANGEROUS POTIONS

Statistics announced by police
court officials in different sections
of the country show a heavy IN
crease in drunkenness cases for the
month of September. 1t is said that
the vast majority of such cases re-
suit from wood alucohol concoctlns,
although cologne, Jamaica ginger
bay rum, and horse liniment have
figured in some cases.
The arraignment Of I negro IN
the Police Court of this city last
night to answer the charge of man

brought many spectators to the
court room. The paraphernalia OF

the necessity of permanent settlement of the Irish
problem at the present uncture of world affairs,
in the interest of the progress of democracy and
civilization
The Senator's listening to the different speakers
lnterposed many questions attestlng their sympathy
and interest in the theme under discussion, and
these heterogeneous served to bring out many val
liable points that would not have been touched up
on in floor debate in the Senate chamber. Sen
ators Borah, Fall, Knox. Brandesee, Moses and
Others took occasion at frequent intervals to ask
further information and elucidation of points
touched upon by the several speakers, and cordially
acknowledged their appreciation of the answers.
Many OF the telling points i'll the arguments elected
hearty applause.
The honor OF the valedctory was by common con-
sent assigned to Mr.. Bourke Cochran the brilliant

out preliminary school training The truth of the
proposition involved is almost self-evdent but the
editors OF WHO'S Who in America have compiled
statistics from the data of that publication which
strlkingly demonstrate it. The volume lists the
names OF 1852 Americans who have achieved unus-
ual success in their careers, and from their biog-
raphies ahve deduced the following conclusions:
First, that an uneducated child has one chance in
10000 OF attaining distinction as a factor in the
progress OF the age.
Second. that common school education will in
crease his chance nearly four times.
Third. that high school training will increase
the chances of the common school boy twenty three
times. giving him eighty-seven times the chance of
the uneducated.
Fourth. that college education increases the
chance OF the high school boy nine times giving him
two hundred and nineteen times the chance of the
common school boy, and more than eight hundred
times the chance Of the unframed.

ably he only thinks himself genius. And conceit

terly presentation of the OF the Motherland
At Syracuse, N. Y. the De Valera meeting was
attended by than 5000 people, 2t. Rev. Bish-
op Grimes being the presiding officer Here again
the Irish executive scored strongly in one of the
most vigorous and telling pleas that he has made
for the cause which is afame in his soul. Speaking
OF his mastery effort in that city the Catholic Sun
took occasion to say:
Last week we spoke of President de Vaera's
compelling personality With his brief introduce
ton to Syracuse month ago in mind, we said of
HIM that he not orator, but rather one who
talks must need talk man whose life has been
devoted to studying and applying the higher inathe
matics whose mind runs to first principles
who presents the story of Ireland in the cold light
OF clear logic But he is ali orator of parts. There
is no trlckery nor straining for effect passion
or bewildering rhetoric, but the message he gives
remains with the hearer Because of the very coher-
ence OF the story the absbluteness of it, the lucdty
of thought which makes the nearer see and know
the truth, the speaker knows and delivers it,
And that, after ALL is the secret of successful
tory-to sway others with the power of thought,
to make them think and to make them see and dream
and determine them to action.
1t is. perhaps. a fortunate thing that the Irish
President is of the Parnell, rather than the
O'Connell, type lest it might be said by his critics
and enemies that he himself carried away by
flights of oratory rhetoric and that his follow
ers under the spell. There is absolutely
no basis of truth to be found in any fair analysis
OF the discourses OF this we-balanced and level
headed statesman.
In his Labor Day addresses De Valera brought
out point regarding national wars as compared
with the religious of history that is we'll worth
consideration, as follows:
Religious ceased only when the individual
creeds ceased to try to impress their creed upon
those who differed with them. ceased when each
creed admitted the right of the other creeds and the
people who believed in the other creeds to choose
their way of life and obedience They saw
that, just as religious wars had ceased, so, too,
national wars-and we know that most of the wars
of the nineteenth century national wars
would cease the moment that nations with essen
tial consciousness of their accepted the right
of other nations to rule themselves and not until
then
There is world of clear thinking in that state
ment It is the true key of the principle of toll
GRAFTON that is eventually destined to lead the world
out of the re of warfare and its conconlitants of
savagery and brutality.
