"Work!'

GFrom New York Evening SUM-
Georges Clemenceau, Frances pic
turesque and outstanding figure of
intellectual force, has summarized
the present duty of Frenchmen,
Britons. Americans, Belgians, Ital-
lians, Spaniards and all other peo-
pies under the sun in the single
word Work." This was the key
note of his passionate speech for the
Government party at Strasburg on
Tuesday. 1t was not an appeal to
France alone, but to the whole
world.
The whole world, indeed, needs to
renew its work interrupted and dis
organized by the disintegrating war.
1t needs to redouble its efforts in
stead of chattering about five-day
weeks and six-hour days. And this
cry for short hours of work comes
from the likeliest quarter, from those
who worked at home for triple wages
while their brothers served and
faced fire and sword; no wonder
that our returned soldiers have short
patience with the fluent preachers of
well-paid Incidence.
Every intelligent leader is trying
to rally his people under the unpop-
ular but inevitable standard of hard
work. Only by victory under this
flag can the world escape sliding
down into the puttescence of Boil
shevism. Yesterdays elections here
are most encouraging; let us hail
their omen and work all the harder.

LET US BE Fab

NEW JERSEY manufacturing
n concern advertises that it de-
sires to substitute American
for alien labor, and announces that
hereafter it will employ only men
who can speak the English Ian
guage.
The spirit of this is right, but Il
st rict adherence to the rule would be
wrong. There are many good
Americans of foreign birth. There
are many men of foreign birth who
are good Americans in spirit but
who have not mastered the English
language.
Learning language is not an
easy matter, as many a doughboy
found when he tried to learn
French. 1t is well to give Ameri-
cans the preference in employment;
it is we'll to deny employment to all
who give any evidence of lack of
loyalty to American institutions, but
it is wrong to make hard and fast
rule against employment of men
who are honest, law-abiding, frugal
and industrious, and who came 10
America, by our own invitation, to
make their homes, but who have
not yet been able to learn the
English language.
Let's be fair.

Fire Lore in Ireland

The literature and folklore of Ire
land TEEN with fairy tales and su-
perstition, some of which can be
traced back through various evolu-
tions to the Iranians, Basques and
other continental wanderers who
have found their way to Ireland at
different periods.
I'm the fires which are still lighted
all over Ireland on st. Johns Eve"
says Miss A. H. Singleton in the
Irish World, 1--WE can trace a sur
vival of the Baal fires brought by the
Iranians from Persia. Formerly
and I have been told that the prac-
tice still is kept up in some of the
southern counties-young men and
women leaped over the flames and
sheep and cattle were driven
through them. At the ancient feast
of Beltane on May Day the sacred
fire was lighted at Tara and no other
light was allowed to be seen on the
plain. From that fire a lighted
brand was taken and used for kim
ding all the other fires in the coun-
try around.
There are other Gust oms and
superstitions connected with fire
which appear to be relics of the Fir
bolgs, a strange people of Eastern
oIlBlH WHO were IOunQ IN Ireland by
the earliest Christian missionaries.
Thus it is considered very unlucky
to take fire out of house on May
morning. If that is done, it is held,
the butter will be taken off the milk
for the rest of the year. For ex-
ample: A man comes to a cottage
and asks for light for his pipe. He
takes a piece of live turf from the
hearth, puts it into the pipe and
goes out. He no sooner takes up the
turf than the watchful housewife
hastens to throw another sod on
the fire, and if she is churning, will,
to avert calamity, give the churn "a
brash' before he leaves the house.
1t is only when the fire is taken
away on May morning that the mis-
chief done to the milk may continue
through the year-at other times 1t
only takes effect on the churning in
progress. But it is always best to
be on the safe side, so another sod
of turf is invariably thrown on the
fire before even the full of O pipe
is taken out of the house."

The American Legion
IPublished by Renuestl

Dense crowds are massed on
Centralia's streets;
With anxious eyes and hearts a-beat
We hear the tread of the soldiers
feet
Where bands and trumpets now
proclaim
THE American Legion" for their
new name.
Cheer after cheer rings out on the
air,
AS khaki clad heroes our stars and
stripes bear
Through smiles and tears of joy and
pride
From infancy, youth and Age" on
each side.
A halt is made, for a minute or two
That the long procession may hurry
through
And fill up the gap in the rank and
file.
A stalwart column for many a mile.
But bark! A shot rings out on the
air
From dastardly traitors in hiding
there;
of yore,
They murder and MAIN our boys by
the score!
Alert as when on the battle field,
To arms they dash and in vengeance
wild
Righteous blows for their comrades
dear
With never a thought of danger or
fear.
One giant body with q single heart,
Each soldier stands as the active
part.
And anarchist, radical. despot and
Hun,
Will soon understand the fights but
begun.
So beware, the flower of, our land
to despoil
'4The American Legion" now stands
guard over all!

NOW THE TIME TO SELL

-HERE is scarcity of nearly
every article used in every day
life. That is one of the rea-
sons why prices are SO high.
But in the Governments great war
warehouses millions upon millions
of dollars worth of all kinds of
supplies are still in storage. Some
effort has been made to dispose of
this stuff, but for one reason or
another much of it has failed to
move out.
Now, however, is the time to push
these sales. The Government there
by would be able to realize some
what on it's war expenditures and
prices in general would be brought
to slightly lower level or at least
supplies available to the public
would be increased.
The Corn Exchange bank bulletin
of current issue sums the situation
up in a nutshell when it says:
It is time for the Government
pound of surplus materials which
the war called forth, to lop off
the bureau barnacles and to
settle down into the legitimate
business of government, and let
the people conduct their legiti-
mate business. which is the Ma
tion's business, including all
industry.

THE PEACE TREATY
HE UNITED STATES sENAT.

TN HE UNITED STATES SENATE
having, by a decisive vote,
placed its approval on vital
reservations to Article 10 of the
league agreement, guaranteeing the
interests of the United States by
leaving the destiny of the country
finally in the hands of the Senate
itself, instead of permitting other
nations to decide for us, as the
President would have us do, it now
remains to get the debate over as
soon as possible and the final vote
taken. Little more remains to be
added to the treaty by way of reser-
vation and delay is inexcusable.
President Wilson now finds him
self in the unenviable position of
rejecting the whole treaty, as he has
threatened to do in the event of
reservations being made to article
10, or of signing document which
he has persisted in asserting will be
little better than none.
Mr.. Wilson has brought down this
state of affairs on his own head. He
persisted in drawing a treaty and a
League of Nations covenant accord
ing to his own ideas and those of for
eign diplomats. He insisted upon
bossing the job himself. to the eX-
clusion of Senate representation, and
then attempted to thrust the finished
product down the throats of Sem
ators who had made it very plain
during the peace conference sessions
that they would not approve such
an agreement as the President was
engaged in framing. Now Mr.. Will
son finds himself facing a united
and determined majority and de-
serted even by men of his own
party. He is discredited where he
might have been triumphantly vic
torious if he had in the beginning
consented to take counsel from
others
What the country wants now is a
nnal vote on the treaty.

Wilson and Coolidge
[From the Kansas City Times.]

GFrom the Kansas City Times.1
The Presidents congratulations to
Governor Coolidge of Massachusetts,
whose reelection Mr.. Wilson des-
cribes as victory for law and order,
make pleasant after-the-event
sound and show. But overlooking
the fact that the support for the Gov
ernor was rendered after the votes
were counted, not during the cam
paign when the votes were needed,
the important consideration is this:
What was the Presidents attitude
toward police strikes while the
foundations of law and order were
under assault?
The plain answer to that question
seems to be given in his action in the
case of the Washington police.
While the Boston strike was on and
mobs were attacking life and pro-
perty in the streets of that city, the
police of Washington sought to or
ganize union as the Boston police
had. The commissioners of Wash
ington forbade their action and or
dered all policemen to relinquish
their membership on pain of dis
missal. The President was not in
Washington. He was touring the
West in the interests of the League
of Nations. Did he back up the
Washington commissioners in doing
what Governor Coolidge was doing
in Massachusetts,, and what he now
indorses as action taken for law and
order?
He did the exact opposite. He
telegraphed Commissioner Louis
Brownlow, through Secretary Tu-
n 20 ic
telegram was in these words:
THE President suggests the great
advisability of postponing any issue
regarding the police situation until
after the forthcoming industrial con-
ference at Washington and hopes
the postponement can be effected"
The telegram was sent on the very
day, September IL, that the ultima
tum of the Washington commission
ers was to become effective. Gov
ernor Coolidge's stand for law and
order was taken before, not after,
the voters of Massachusetts had re-
turned him to Office by an over
whelming vote. He was standing
for law and order on September IL,
when the President telegraphed
Commissioner Brownlow to take an
opposite course as regards the right
of a police force to strike and leave
city a prey to lawlessness and
plunder. If Boston had been in the
District of Columbia and Governor
Coolidge had been federal official,
is there any reason to believe the
President would have given him diff
ferent instructions than he gave to
the Washington official who was
confronted with the same situation ?
Congratulatory kilograms are easy
to write after public opinion has
manifested itself. But we must
judge of public officials by the stand
they take when the crisis is on. The
stand taken by Governor Coolidge
and that taken by the President, in
similar situations and in the face OF
the same threat to public law, were
exactly opposite, and any admission
by the President that the Governor
was right is an equal admission that
he himself was wrong. Only with
this inference can the Presidents
congratulations be accepted as hav.
ing any meaning or value at this late
dnV

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Junior High Schools
By BRIGGS
tha Editor of tha Telenrnnh.

To the Editor of the Telegraph
People learn by their mistakes"
is an old adage. In looking over
some of the conditions in my own
neighborhood, wondered if the
public at large and our morning
newspaper might profit by some
mistakes of the past.
think it has been forcibly
demonstrated in my community
that the City superintendent of
Schools knew exactly what he was
about, when, after much thought,
he perfected his plans for the open
ing of the Junior High School this
fall.
If the question had not been un-
wisely agitated the people in the
central part of the city would have
been satisfied.
However, after the plans were all
made and the schools running
smoothly. the aforesaid paper STIR
red matters up, the schools were
disorganized and the pupils from
the central part of the city were
sent to the Junior High Schools.
1t took in the children in the
poorest part of the city and as the
distance is so great, many of the
children have had to stop school be-
fare and the lunches.
A number of the parents in my
neighborhood, whose children have
to go a great distance out to Edison,
have either had to take their chill
dren out of schools or deny them
selves greatly to send them. 1 un-
derstand the prime mover in this
agitation when he had accomplished
his purpose sent his own child to a
private school.
1t seems to me that from this
mistake, we, as patrons of a splen-
did school system, should at least
allow those who are in q position
to know, and who have the ability
to determine what is best for our
schools, to have a fair show in
working out school problems.
We want all of our girls and boys
to profit by our schools and to drive
poor children out of school on ac-
count of the expense of getting to
and from school is a grave matter
Let us not be so ready to upset
the well-thought-out.p plans of those
who are paid to solve these prob
lens and who have the interest OF
the schools at heart.
Let us know what we are kicking
about before we kick. Let us be
able to suggest something better and
prove that it is better before we
begin to tear down what has been
done. This applies to many things
besides our schools. Boosting pays
better than kicking any day.
Respectfully yours,
