Rulers of the Redmond school, one be-
hind middle age or gray and bespec-
tacled maturity talking about castle
government in slightly cracked ac-
cents. There is nothing cracked in
the accents of de Valera, although there
| is an occasional hoarseness He has mo-
| ments of oratorical frenzy when he
| seems anything but the cool and cal
culating geometrician. He might oc-
casionally be deemed diffuse, if not
incoherent and irresponsible. In a
moment more he is calm, collected,
narrating some fresh instance of Brit
ish stupidity.
Pokes Fun at British Stupidity.
Stupidity as the London World says,
is in the indictment of the British al
ways when de Valera is called upon
to frame it. There are moments when
de Valera goes so far as to say that
1.-the British are not even ordinarily
bad. They are simply stupid. The
topic is dwelt upon with a wealth
of felicitous illustration from the Irish
point of view. 1t is one of the para
doxes of his situation that de Valera
is personally quite popular with many
of the English in Ireland. He has
not the cold aloofness of Parnell in
dealing with everybody, his own fol-
lowers included, nor yet the some
what aristocratic hauteur Of the late
John Redmond, suggesting the Eng
lish country gentleman, nor the We
hement hatred of all things British
that characterized Daniel O'Connell.
In fact, de Valera can be good-natured
If sarcastic in his illusions of the Eng
lish.
"The English" he is quoted as hav-
ling said at East Mayo, "are not like
1.-THE Bourbons, who never learned any
thing and who never forgot anything.
The English learn many things but
they never know how to apply their
knowledge. When German learns
anything he proceeds to apply the
! knowledge; but an Englishman lets
his knowledge accumulate in his head
until it becomes solid"
De Valera's favorite illustration of
the stupidity of the English is drawn
from the state of Ireland, country
very easily governed, he insists, in
habited by a people who respect
strong government intelligently ad-
ministered. In fact de Valera's OBJ.

reams of paper.
In quieter period Of history, writes
one who knows him to London pa
per, he might have become a New

at one time of going into the army, for
his military aptitudes, among his fol-
lowers at any rate, are rated high in
deed.
His ringing laugh, his athletic Prov
ess, unexpected in one of his roman
tic and poetical personal appearance,
and the alertness of his manner, do
not suggest the brooder over figures.
:. He is brilliant talker, says the Lon
don News, and he seems to have no
reserve on the subject of his dreams
of glory for Ireland. His courage is

in having that fine physique, for it

life's vigil that will not grow dim. A
heartfelt sympathy is extended by the
people here to the aged, devoted, be.

Sugar Cane Disease
Spreads in Louisiana

A disease of sugar cane known as
the Mosaic, or nothing, is spreading
rapidly il Louisiana and probably will
cause considerable loss If it is allow
ed t otake its own course, according
to C. W. Edgerton, plant pathologist
Experiment Station, Louisiana State
University. This disease has been
causing heavy losses in Porto Rico
during the past few years and in the
worst infected areas it has been es-
timated that the loss is nearly 40
percent of the crop. While the dis
ease may not be as serious here as
in Porto Rico it is necessary for the
sugar planters to be on their guard
and practice the necessary control
measure.
The disease is easily recognized by
the peculiar effect on the leaves. The
leaves become yelloWish in color as
%contrasted with the dark green of
healthp plants. Then hte leave have a
notified appearance due to the pres
ence of yellow stripes bewteen the
green areas.
While this disease is present in
many sections Of Louisiana but there
are as yet many plantations and parts
of plantations free of it. This fact
should be taken into consideration at
planting time this fall. AS the di-
sease is carried through from year to

ALL FOREIGN MONEY ..
AT HEAVY DISCOUNT

The discount rate on Canadian mon-,
went up to 10 per cent, last Saturday
and has since climbed to Is per cent.
1t appears that the Canadian dollar is
not to blame. 1t is at.par and better in
its proportion to the coins of other ma.
tions. But the American dollar has
gone to premium, ion account of the
heavy balance of trade 10 favor OF this
country, anu the difference may become
greater.
Before the war the English pour d
was worth 1882 in American money.
Now it is worth $3.50.
Before the war the German mark was
worth "a cents. ~ Now il is worth 2 and
Is cents IN American money.
Before the war the Scandinavian
krone brought 27 cents, now 1t is 10 and
q cents, IN American money.
Before the war the franc was worth 19
and half cents, now it is worth little
less than 9 cents in U. S. money.
just as the pound, the mark. the krone
and the franc represent the credit of
their countries as compared with that
of the United States, 80 does the Cana
dian dollar measure to financial condi-
tions in Canada as compared with that
of the United States.
